[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munchkin86:
Thank you mate,

I searched for some instructions fo rthe HewWorkshop, but it seems that the search function has some problems.

And after I found a relevant thread, it is not possible to open it.

Does anyone has a clear description how to recover and insert my IMEI number back into the EFI file with HexEditor?

By the way, how do I handle the fact, that the EFI file is called EFS in my case?

If I want to make a backup and later one restore it, is it possible just to rename the file?

Because usually if you make a backup with Galaxy Toolbox, then the File is called different.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wintershade:
Check out the first few posts of this thread. One of them (I think the 2nd post) contains step-by-step instructions. No scrots there, but you don't really need them. Good luck!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munchkin86:
I already checked them out, yeah after I insert the 0x ..... into the "Go to " field, i get transmitted to a place in the data.

But WHERE do i put my IMEI? in which field? I have to enter 15 numbers, where to put them?

Why can't someone help me to tell me this?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitesh2626:
Yes your going right after going to field you will see 15 zero's just rewrite them with your IMEI number and save it and then move it to your sd card/ galaxy tool box, last step backup it by Galaxy Tool box then Reboot that's it
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munchkin86:
Sorry if it sounds so complicated, maybe because it is just my IMEI got a little bit problems.

But due to the fact that my EFI-file is not a EFI-file but rather a EFSpart.img.SAVE it might occure that problem.

Also it was not in the folder sdcard/SGYunlock/ which i remember I had when I backup-ed my system before, but lost this backup.

So here is a screenshot what I get in the HexEditor, after entering 0x80000.

As you can see, the 00 fields start at 6 and end at 15, and in total there are 16 empty zero-fields.

Is the line 0007FFFA the right one? What about these "hieroglyphics" on the right side?

It seems maybe easy for you guys, but I just want to know the right space to insert the IMEI.

By the way, the 00-fields always have 2 zeros, if i enter any number, on the right side I will letters and symbols (like you can see where the question mark is, that was not due to me, that was already in the saved EFS-file). Or should the IMEI shown on the right side?

Sorry for so much trouble but thanks for all your help and answeres. To understand what I mean, please look at the uploaded image.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wintershade:
Your file is fine. There is no such thing as an EFI file, your EFS file is a backup of the EFI [/I]partition[/I] from your phone. If you don't understand what this means, just skip the whole story about it and go on with restoring your IMEI.

Good. That's what was expected if your IMEI is really gone. If it wasn't, there would have been your IMEI instead of those empty zero-fields. That's what you need to fix.

Yes, the line which starts with 0x007FFFA is the correct line, since that's the line which contains the 0x80000 position, where you should type in your IMEI. So type it in there (preferrably on the corresponding right side, the one that's marked with the little red arrow).

Don't touch those.

Both. When you start typing it into the "right side", the corresponding hexadecimal code of those characters should appear on the "left side".

Thank you so much. I had done a backup with Galaxy Tools, but for some reason it was not working, i used the hex editor with your instructions and voila!, got my IMEI back. It is difficult though to undersatnd how to use the HEX EDITOR, so this video did help me and might help other users http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kbY0EZYsXE

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocknsock:
When you guys say to insert IMEI on the blank spaces, which 15 numbers shall i put? just "123456789123456"?

tyvm
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wintershade:
No, you should insert your IMEI number in those spaces. In case it contains letters A-F (I'm not sure if it can happen on any phone), those are also treated as numbers (hexadecimal ones). By no means should you enter a "random" number such as the one you gave as an example.

You can see your IMEI number on the sticker when you remove the battery from your S5830i phone.

That what I endupt doing.

Flashed the latest stock rom, which is a french one, from May, and IMEI is back.

But I wonder why is this happening by just flashing a custom rom without messing with the partitions.

I have flashed hundreds of roms in several phones and only found IMEI issues if we play with the partition table of the phones....

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djuganight:
I solved by installing a stock rom but the phone is all fcked up.

Keep saying that is charging when is not and also biping all the time, that bip the phone does when we plug it to the charger.

The only way to stop is is by pulling the battery off but even then when I least expect it comes back.

Flashing that rom facked up my phone completly

I am facing a problem

My imei no. Only shows in custom rom but when i get back to stock rom it disappear and no network connectivity at all how to fix it
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TubbyStubby:
most of the time when someone is flashing roms they don't make backups of efs folder and it gets corrupted so you need to restore it.

Here's what you can try to resolve your imei

1> you need to root your phone first. check out forums there are tons of tut's available.

2> goto this post and download efs professional zip.(you have to extract it)

3> enable usb debugging on your phone and make sure you have all the usb&adb drivers installed on your pc.(install universal adb&usb drivers that will work fine)

4> open efs professional.exe and connect your device.

5> now go to backups tab and select your device under device filter tab and then click backup. wait for backup to be complete.

6> now go to restore tab and under backup archives select one of the .tar.gz file I prefer (device)(although it doesn't matter) and hit restore.

7> your device will reboot and you are done.

if the problem still exists

download root explorer and goto efs folder in root directory. then find this file - 'nv_data.bin.md5' and delete it and restart the phone.

if this helped don't forget to hit the thanks button.

good luck:good:

That's not very right. Though you can try this, get seeders. Use BigMem or Stock Volt(if you need recording). Make sure to off GPS, its on by default not sure if you noticed. Off google syncs, and then set to 245 - 1024 or 1209. Governor you can use lulzactive or smartassV2 and as for scheduler use SIO or Zen. V6 supercharger is quite useless once you have seeders.

That settings exhausts me less than 10% in 3-4 idle hours. With either wifi or 2G internet on. Try it and share your results.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] oytunistrator:
Android Booster and Battery Calibration applications that can solve the problem. Android Booster is an application that will automatically succeed in clearing the memory unused applications.To change a profile Android Booster is a very good alternative. If you do not need things like wifi and sync out, for example by creating a profile is active when going out if you'd be saving the battery for you automatically shut down. Battery Calibration application once with the phone's battery status will be reset after calibration (every rom I suggest you to make changes. Reset the status of the battery gives you the real value of the use of the battery. Otherwise, you may not show the exact value).

Due to lack of responses, I dont think Ill be able to release for Xperia P.. If anyone still wants to test it, message me or Xpme for Password and if I get good feedback by tomorrow, Ill make the actual rom available.To be fair: Not 1 response after multiple downloads :/ Sola works fine so Ill release it tomorrow.. and GO, status will be updated later :) (Odds are Ill be away from pc for next 12 hours so better PM Xpme for pass

Hey guys,

I am nearly done with making Lite v1.0 for Xperia P, Sola and GO :D The rom is based on Stock with pretty much everything that can be removed,removed and only bare essentials left in place :) Smooth,Fast and Stable :D If you head over to the thread, you'll see that alot of people liked it and so, I thought Id make sure to release it for all the Xperia brothers this Christmas ;) Im nearly done but I dont have the devices to test it. If anyone can voluteer to just flash my roms and give it a quick test run, Id really appreciate it :D

Ill probably be able to upload them in the next 12 hours ;) Anyway, If anyone is interested in helping, Please reply here or Message me ;) (With the name of your phone too ofc, Dont forget that :D ) Should work on both locked and unlocked bootloaders ;)

Install Instructions :

Flash Stock FTF with Kernel

Install my rom

Wipe Cache

Enjoy :D

And if you're gonna try it on Custom Kernel, you'll have to flash another cwm zip I add after adding the Kernel :p More instructions when I upload the files :D Hope this works out :)

At present, ILoveXperia is my first man for testing Xperia Go :p But I want to make sure a few people use it and it works fine before public release hence the thread :D

Cheers

& Merry Christmas :)

Ps: Hope this is the right Forum for it.. not sure tbh ;)

Xperia GO,P & Sola versions uploaded.

GO

Sola

P

Please let me know asap if you downloaded & it flashed correctly.So I can finish the final edits and release.. if it boots and doesnt lag, you wouldnt see any errors because everything else works same as stock f/w :D

Hopefully, Ill get results soon and I can close this one ;)

PS; People who downloaded, can you atleast say if you downloaded,and it flashed correctly ? I dont need detailed reports cause It has same working as for U.
