[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bollecito:
Hi, i have an issue restoring my Galaxy tab 10.1 gt-n8000 region switzerland... before flashing with a cm rom i did a backup with CWM 6.0.1.1, then after flash i could not see my backup in CWM... so i then found it with Astro file manager in : sdcard0/0/0/0/clockworkmod/backup.. (by the way what are all these 0?) so i could copy it to sdcard/0/clockworkmod... so that i could see it in CWM but when restoring it i get an error while restoring system... please help, i have searched this forum but did not find a suitable solution, i have seen that 4ext recovery could help, or by installing original stock rom but where can i find it`?

Another thing i just noticed, when i plug my tab on computer i have the message : windows cannot identify your device... is it bad?

Please help me, as you can understand i am a noob... with android.

Thanks in advance !

I did the stupid mistake of flashing to a custom rom without backing up. Nowhere in custom rom instructions says to backup your /efs folder.

Now in "About device" Baseband version is "Unknown" IMEI is "Unknown". I've searched everywhere for a fix and nothing. I tried the following:

Flash stock rom

Format /data and /cache

On keypad, dial *#7284# ....But i dont get the "Qualcomm USB settings" option so i cant try IMEI repair tools

I tried flashing different kernels and different custom roms

Apart from the IMEI problem, the Device cant access the 16GB internal memory. The stock rom flashes with no error, but when i go to

settings > storage: under "Device memory" its full with only 182MB used by some apps. I thought the memory could be bad, but after flashing

Perseus kernel and swapping external sd card for internal memory I can use the 16GB as external memory. I cant find a fix for that either.

INTERNAL MEMORY UPDATE: it seems that internal memory is mounting read only. Still trying to find a fix

Im currently on "T889UVALK8_T889TMBALK8_TMB" rom with Perseus kernel and using "11extsd2internalsd_gs3_fat32" to swap internal to external memory.

Side note: I bought the phone from a friend 2 days ago. Its the Tmobile version and I used cellunlocker to unlock to use it with AT&T. That worked, until I started messing with ROMS. No warranty available. I am desperately looking on how to fix this since i have no spare phone. Any help is highly appreciated and thank you for your time

I am having a similiar issue on t889 7105. ERI version "not available". Everything else is okay. Searched everywhere . . .not addressed. Which is strange.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] janjannsen99:
Unfortunately sir their just isnt much that can be done for you. If you read about imei loss without a backup its just about incurable. Sorry.

And the remedy for imei restoration without a backup is hit and miss at best as to whether or not it actually will restore your number. Your best bet is to use the search function and try and experiment with different ways of fixing it. Its not like there is much more damage that can be done anyways. You already screwed the pooch and basically have a functional brick.

No one is going to post a step by step guide for you though if thats what youre waiting on. This is a complicated fix and most members wont devote the time to walking you through it

And to the member that said he searched and found no Information. Well thats just not true. Ive read tons of threads and posts about it and know about SEVERAL backup and restore methods.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] adam2508:
crap

Thank you for confirming my fear, I was on denial. Im getting a new one on friday. How much do you think I can sell this one for, obviously as a tablet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
Developers need to take more responsibility around here with their threads. A simple "I'm not at fault" is sub par in my opinion. Users popping up with IMEI issues are becoming more a common thing. Didn't somebody make an app to back up your efs partition? Why is there not a link to said app in every ROM and kernel thread? This stuff blows my mind.

As there is a rampant influx of "noobs" watching YouTube videos about rooting their devices (most of which for the first time) with links to ROM threads, their needs to be an influx of responsibility taken by those who cook ROMs and feed them to the general public. The issues with the IMEIs being lost is not a small one. Your device is pretty much done for without a backup. Keep reading, keep trying, but since you had no idea that losing the ability to use your device's radios was even a possibility, not your fault.

Good luck. And sorry. You should have seen a link at the very top of the thread you downloaded your ROM from ... and this whole thing would have been avoided. Here is the link, which is always shared too late and after the fact. App is called andromizer xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2080009

This kind of thing shouldn't still be happening.

Well all is not lost. There have been reports of people restoring imei successfully.

Try and app called andromizer. If I remember right it had an efs backup and restore. Its an app

Second. Go to the tmobile galaxy s3 forum and find their thread about lost imei numbers. Use those tools and the method to try to write back your imei number. Ill try and find it

The issue being you can't restore it without a backup.

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

Never done it. If you have a new one, just make a backup of the new one and don't mess with it. Now you know to make a backup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Corrupt0387:
Curious

I would like to prevent myself from making this mistake in the future. Are you talking about the same type of back up you would do in TWRP or CWM? Like a nandroid? I've never heard about the backup your talking about, but I have been seeing a lot of people talking about losing their IMEI number and it sounds like really bad news.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] adam2508:
Ill give it a try

I will try this tomorrow, i dont think that there is no fix at all. There is a fix for everything, just not yet discovered. Even though i will be getting a new phone, i still want to dedicate some time on fixing this one. If I find a fix, I might help someone else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] adam2508:
advice

dude, make sure you have a back up of everything. Especially of the /efs directory. I read a few posts about people having this problem even after restoring back from CWM. I will get into conclusions that CWM does not back up the /efs directory. Anyone wants to correct me or add to this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Corrupt0387:
A little clarification

Any chance you could tell me where to find this? If ever lost and you have the back up, how would you restore it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] adam2508:
I'll be really honest

After what happened to me I haven't messed with other roms. Andromizer can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2080009 to make a backup of your /efs. I have also used Nandroid, which you can just download from the "play store". Nandroid apparently does make a backup of everything including /efs and bootloader. As to how to restore from those backups I would like to never find out if it actually works. I have flashed the perseus kernel with clockworkmod recovery and also rooted which allows me to overclock to 1800MHz and im very happy with it. I dont have the urge to flash any roms that "promise" any speed improvements. I have also got rid of the bloatware with titanium backup pro. And of course i made backup with it too just in case i removed something i did not suppose to. All backups are in my external SD card and on dropbox. Call me paranoid but after what ive gone through i call it being safe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KillaHurtz:
It sounds like you did a NAND erase all in Odin. Flash back to stock, use triangle away, call samsung to fix it. I had the same issue and Samsung fixed it for free.

[Q] ►►► RingTone , notification, whatsapp tones auto changing to DEFAULT tone in ICS

Hi ,

I have Micromax A100 which has ICS OS. Problem is that when i set my customize tones for Ringtone, SMS, Notification, Whatsapp etc. After sometime it changes to boring stock tones. I dont understand how it changes back to default tone. I tried all d way to change but it works for 2-3 hours and suddenly changes to Micromax inbuilt ringtone.

Somebody said its because of Ram booster APP, i uninstalled that, but no use. I tried ZEDGE app to set tones but it changes auto to default after 2-3 hours. And also at the same time my MUSIC player stops recognizing MUSIC files also and it shows zero files.

somebody help me plz. :(

1. Unlock your bootloader, if don't know how to, search forum.

2. download a gapps package, can find in goo.im.

3. download a recovery for X920e, can find in goo.im/dev/OpenRecovery, search for dlx_u

4. boot into fastboot, flash the recovery.

5. go into recovery, then install the gapps package you downloaded.
[HTC Droid DNA] jlevy73:
For the x920e just need to go to htcdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock bootloader.

I recently flashed the agat recovery to my phone as per the how to by qb king 77 (thanks by the way) now my ap to sd isn't working nor is gps and sms notification. I haven't yet flashed a custom rom but was wondering when I searched the issue it took me to a thread that shows a agat v 6.? Is that an updated version and if so should I just follow the steps again only substituting that version for the one in the video? Some of he comments say it fixes small bugs or something. Just wanted to be sure that I was reading that right and if not than any guidance? Thanks for the help in advance. It's been very much appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M3ntalPurg3:
1) What Build (EL29, FI25 etc.)are you working with/did you flash?

2) What version did you come from/ are you currently on? ICS or JB

3) Are you 100% positive you followed the directions to a T?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computermillerj:
Hello! I am new to these forums....

Background....

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 several months ago and it worked great in the beginning. Then one day it crashed and would not boot. It would show the "SAMSUNG" boot screen, sit that way for 20ish seconds, then the screen would go black and it would repeat the process. At that point the rooted image was out and I wanted to try it out anyway so I flashed the rooted image to it and it worked great and was faster in my opinion. Until several days ago when it crashed again.

The problem....

Several days ago I was using it and it hung. So I held down the power button to force a restart like I had done many times before. But it started going into the boot and then reboot process. I let it sit for a while, and then tried it again and it started! Worked for 2 days, but crashed 2 or 3 times (and was slow as well) in that period when the device was idle. I was not even using it and I would look down at it and it was restarting. Then it crashed this morning and it is boot looping again. I have let it sit without the battery in for over an hour and tried again and it still will not boot.

The question...

Is there any way to fix the device without reflashing the original rom? I have done that before and I can access the download menu (Home+Vol-) and the factory reset and clear cache options (Home+Vol+) so that is not an issue. I have all of my personal data stored on the sd card. But app data is not on the sd card. And I would like to not have to re-install and re-setup all of the apps again. So is there a way to fix it without restoring the device to defaults or is that my only option?

I have searched but cannot find much information specific to the 4.2 player about this issue. Thanks in advance for the help!

EDIT:

Just got some information from a Samsung chat person. They said that a hard reset (Home + Vol+) then factory reset is the only option in their knowledge. And that this problem was not in their database. And if the hard reset doesn't work then to send the device in for service.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] brentb636:
You might as well do a factory reset . I suspect any flashing of the player will end up with your having to set up the apps over again, anyway. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of ROM selection, and tools to work with on this player. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] computermillerj:
Thanks!

Thanks for the help! I tried doing the factory reset and it is still boot looping. So I think I am going to send the device in. Thanks again!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooster85:
Update, was able to get the ruu to recognize the phone but when it rebooted to bootloader it never turned back on. Was also able to get it to read the pmg zip for 3.29 but after it got through checking it it just goes back to the main fast boot screen and does nothing! If this thing isn't hard bricked I don't know what else it could be!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
You don't have a hard brick. If you can turn the device on, then it isn't bricked.

You need to use a newer RUU. Check the 'restore stock after Revolutionary' link in my sig (desktop browser) - there are several PC36IMG files in that post you can use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooster85:
Thanks I'll try that, what should I use to easily root once I can get a os back on the phone? Sorry I never had a Evo I went from hero to evo shift to nexus. Not my first time messing with one though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Depends on which PC36IMG file you choose. Each includes a description of the proper rooting method in the post. unrEVOked is probably the easiest, but Revolutionary is likely safer. And HTCDev is probably the safest of all, but it doesn't give you full S-OFF (but you can flash custom recovery, root and/or flash ROMs fine - just with some firmware limitations).

Hi

I'm new to android (but I'm tech savy, though) and I have a small request. I saw several request for my problem but I wasn't able to find any valuable answer anywhere.

I have my former phone wich is a HTC EVO 3D and I liked the keyboard on it. I would like to extract the files of the keyboard from it and transplant them into my new SAMSUNG GALAXY S III.

I would like to avoid "REPLACEMENT" suggestions (like use this or this 3rd party one I liked, etc) since I badly want SPECIFICLY this one and no other one.

So if a kind person can provide me with a simple tutorial on how to extract and transfer the files, I would appreciate a lot.

No offense meant to you personally, but you like that piece of garbage? :what:

I agree with the previous poster about it not being possible. You could try to move the file he listed to /system/apps on the Samsung and try it (assuming you rooted, I'd nandroid first). But I doubt it'd work.
