[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquarixz:
last week i've swapped my gf's sdcard to format her data and put mine back in my phone

After that, i couldn't find media in the stock app like gallery or music (gallery, google play and AOSP music app)

but i can access that media via external app like QuickPic or PowerAmp

have tried these methods but that's NOT help solving my issue

- flash Stock ICS Rom via ODIN and flash the ROM over it. (stock music player can see my music too, but I didn't notice if the stock gallery could see my photos)

- format /system before install the ROM

- tried the mediaReScan app from the Play Store

- tried install CM10/AOKP ROM but the problem is still there :(

- any methods i could get from google

anyone facing issue like me? and if you have solved it, How??

for others who doesn't face this issue, do you have any advice for me? thanks :D

P.S. i'm on SlimBean 3.1 with Siyah Kernel

I've tried refreshing the widget, deleting it and readding, etc. Is this BW or is this me? Any solutions? Or should I just manually add where I'm at all the time?

In case you are worried you might damage the power button on the top left side of the phone, and you just happen to have the Sim Switch button sitting there being useless and all, you can tweak it to function as the "Power Button"!

Things you need:

-Root Access, to use Root explorer

-Root explorer (for accessing the file that is responsible for the Sim Switch button

Step 1:

Open Root Explorer, and go to /system/usr/keylayout

Step 2:

Locate the file fih_gpio-keys.kl. Open this file in Text Editor

Step 3:

Look for key 81 DSDS_SWITCH

Step 4:

Replace the "DSDS_SWITCH" with "POWER WAKE".

Note* it should look something like this:

.............(Omitted)

key 164 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE

#key 80 VENDOR_1

key 81 POWER WAKE <-----------(You should have changed this line!)

#Numberic Keypad

key 522 STAR WAKE_DROPPED

...............(Omitted)

Step 5:

Save and reboot.

Now your Sim Switch button should be functioning like the power Button!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kampinas:
So, by doing this u can't switch anymore to sims if you have two. Any other way to set a button to use it as a wake as well as its own function? Or you can map one function at a time?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caniv:
hello!

i just got my N4 a few days ago...

didnt even change a ringtone yet... just downloaded some apps, and costumized the phone a-bit.

i do want to root, because some advanced actions such as recording calls (legal in my country) require root.

i was about to root using the Nexus 4 ToolKit posted here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1995688

but when i run it it always says its tookit ver v1.3.0, and a 1.6.0 is avilable, i update but when i re-run it, it says its 1.3 again...

and even if i go past this step and get to the "What build do you have?

the only answer i can pic is 4.2 (JOP24C)

and i own JOP24D (2.4.1) - will this be an issue?

and also - if i root my phone, and lets say androud 4.2.2 comes out a day later, does the phone still update? or do i stop getting updates as soon as im rooted?

TY!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
If you get the donate version it will update it so that you can do the 4.2.1 build. I think it was like $5. Well worth supporting the dev
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caniv:
alright cool i don't mind paying 5USD...

but what about the most important things?

does rooting 100% erase evetyhing?

Do i keep getting updates to my phone? or when a new version comes out i have to re-root or something?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecicle:
It will erase EVERYTHING and you would have to go back to stock to get the OTA or wait for a build to be flashable
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dannyvld:
If the ROM got OTA (over the air) you can update i guess, not really populair with OTA, but you can download 4.2.2 stock ROM or custom ROM when it comes out.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caniv:
might? i bet ill learn ALOT!

i just have one more question - that i didnt understand.

as of now, unrooted, if 4.3(lets say) comes out tommorow, my device updates, bam.. im 4.3

if i root now, at 4.2.1, the above will not happen? meaning in order to update to 4.3 i will have to lose all my data again?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
If you are only rooted and having modified any system files you can OTA successfully.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caniv:
ashamed to say i didnt really get it.. lol.

you said OTA is "Over the Air", right?

so if i rooted at 4.2.1 (just rooted, no rom or anything), and 4.3 came out do i

1. Have to delete everything AGAIN and re-root on 4.3 to get the update

2. have to find the 4.3 file online and install it somehow

3. do nothing, the phone automatically gets updated

ty =)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Getting root on your device does not delete anything. What deletes everything is unlocking the bootloader (which, at the present time, is required to obtain root). You only have to unlock the bootloader once. Once it is unlocked, getting root is trivial.

Every time you receive an over-the-air update, it will remove your root access, BUT, as I mentioned earlier, getting it back is trivial when your bootloader is unlocked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caniv:
i should pay you for toleraring my silly questions... many thanks

since i think i saw u said u do not recommend tool kits to root..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
The easiest way is to wait for the OTA notification to appear on your device. Then just accept it, and then root again.

I've written up something for the Galaxy Nexus (sticky in the GNex General section), but nothing yet for the N4. The basic premise (and most of the commands) are the same. You can browse through it for some background info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metar0n:
I'm visiting the family in SE Kansas for the holidays and have yet to get ANY signal on my Epic 4G Touching running Re-Calked FI27. 3G signal is decent back home in Austin but I get the "no signal" icon here pretty much all the time.

I checked Sprint's coverage map for the area and we're definitely off-network. FWIW, my wife has a Sprint iPhone 4S that gets decent signal around these parts, though it usually says she's on the "Extended" network.

What gives? Is this a modem issue? (I've flashed through a few that have done well back in Austin) Is it a limitation of the device not being able to connect to the wireless band supported by the towers around here? I can't even get signal to do a PRL update, but I'm not sure it would matter. Would the Roam Control app be worth buying?

I'm stuck. Thanks for reading.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metar0n:
I think I might've "fixed" it by toggling the roaming options off and then back on. I now have the bar icon w/ the triangle above it, although the signal is pretty low. I'd still like to discuss this problem further, though.

[Motorola Atrix HD] KSP1138:
OK. This is driving me slightly mad. I've tried this three times. Spent the entire day yesterday following the system/app and vender/app suggestions downloaded here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2000335. I've done countless hard factory resets, see all the little Androids with the triangle, all the "no, no, no, no, no,YES, no" page downs making sure you want to wipe, etc. Every time I do this and try to dl the Jelly Bean update, it fails. Interestingly, I have retained my root through this entire process :confused: and the splash screen that I reset a long time ago (I don't even recall how I did this or if that could be my issue--maybe there is one file someplace else causing the fail?) persists after I do the wipe.

Any suggestions? Last time I did this, I completely deleted the system/app files and replaced them with the ones from above. I've even let it "replace all" too, so I am pretty sure these files are "factory".

I'm moving to a Nexus 4 as soon as I can get one, but when I sell this phone, someone is going to want to upgrade. Now, every 8 hours, the danged phone tantalizes me with "upgrade available" and this is starting to annoy!

Any ideas?

LESSON LEARNT (for everyone): Please make sure to do a complete EFS backup before you do anything or you will end up like me!!!

So yeah I flashed Deodex_LF2_Cwm.zip yesterday, trying to deodex my DDFL2.

And following that I experienced total loss of mobile signal, baseband, IMEI, IMEI SV, and phone (*#1234#).

And I haven't been seeing this kinda thing to come, I did not back up EFS. (Yeah brilliant me:()

So I tried a few of these:

[GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps

Repair IMEI using EFS Pro

Reflashing from latona.pit then XXKPE; for a few times

Flashing stock ROM for Malaysia region (Froyo and GB)

Flashing various Modem.tar (DDLE1, DXKP7, etc) via Odin3 at different ROM levels (XXKPE, DDLF2, even CM10A4)

Restoring Nandroid backup from other SL user (Thanks Rich'Dawg')

But nothing worked so far yet.

Now that I checked the /efs folder is empty and there is only a folder named lost+found.

Some websites said about fixing IMEI for small fees but in cases of blank IMEI (*#06#), chances are only 30%.

And my last resort would be getting it replaced in Samsung service centre or any repair shop, which I suspect that the motherboard would be more expensive than some simple new Android phones.

Leaving this forum for the moment as to collect more money to get a new phone . . . :crying:

Lastly, thanks for all the input. Greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nicsptl:
Do you able to call anyone. ? if yes then no need to change anything. if no then you should search for imei solution on xda. there is some tutorial for fake imei.

Nope. I totally lost signal and mobile network.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
do you flash b4 CM10? if yes, search your sd card and External sd card for the installation backup of efs folder
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cheeyeen:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
It is in a folder name backup
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cheeyeen:
Sad enough this folder does not exist in my phone....

Have you had any idea if Samsung would fix this in Malaysia..? Or how much would that be.

I spent like 10 hours trying to look for a solution but >"<
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
no idea of how much it should be.

but a idea to help you,

1st idea:

go in recovery and fix permission.

2nd idea:

you said you flash Deodex LF2 in CWM, it should not touch efs folder. so, very high change of your nv_data.bin file backup still good.

OK. use any file browser look in the efs folder, see if the below file still exiting, (they are hidden file)

check on the file date. is the date older than the date you flash the zip, if yes, this is the one original from your phone.

the file name start with a dot

.nv_data.bak - ( this is your imei backup file) copy and rename the .nv_data.bak to nv_data.bin and set permission and change owner.

.nv_data.bak.md5 - (delete this file first)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cheeyeen:
Fixed permission.

I found one .nv_data.bak dated year 1994 :eek:, which I think came in when I was trying to flash some efs fixes i found in XDA.

Without much hope I tried what you said, but still nothing happened. IMEI blank, baseband unknown.

Is it possible to have the mobile phone repair shop with RIFF or Jtag or some box thingy to have this done?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MR.Volkf:
i think you must change the motherboard :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Mate, do you like JellyBam V.1.3.0? Because that's the only Nandroid backup i have in my phone. I was thinking to upload it to my Box account for Emergency Backup if i don't have my computer.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] imboy25:
Good luck sir! As far as I know, if you would choose to replace the motherboard from repair center, it would cost you more or less 80% of the original price of the phone. So it would seem that you have to buy a new one. I hope that a nandroid backup (as stated above) would solve the problem. God bless you! Think positive :)

Few screen shots taken from my phone when I had problems on it:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] khaaba:
Main problem on PHONE was, I guess, the EFS partition which stores IMEI infomation. When upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, EFS partition changed to anew format. I tested this by flashing old 4.0.4 and 4.1.1, I found this IMEI null and 0049...invalid numbers...then tried with new JB 4.3, I could recovered my IMEI but IMEI SV was 11 instead of 01. Then I re-partition using pit file found in stickies of my phone model and flashed with 4.1.2 which is latest FW available in my country, everything becomes normal!

Everything works fine, network, wi-fi, bluetooth with correct IMEI!
