[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Try this......download estrongs file explorer or install root explorer on the tab and male sure you set it so that you can access the root folder. Navigate to the efs folder and open it. What is in it?

Just noticed I gave you the wrong command, just copied and pasted what you wrote above without checking it lol.......was friday night and I had been having a few fine malts ;)

Yeah try that other chown command, but look in the efs folder on the tab first.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
sorry took me long to answer but i had to get back to state where i could access the root since i managed to **** it up again trying to get this efin efs,

the efs folder has the efs files i got from that friend who gave me his efs.zip file,

there is a signal just there is no network or service and ofc the IMEI..

please guys anyone has any ideas im willing to try anything
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
would anyone please give me a hint

would anyone please tell me what i should do because i am lost at this point i even tried to flash the chinese rom again and the only benfit i got from that is the system status appeared official but then the device wouldn't reboot so i had to flash the mod rom again to have busybox and access to adb so i can check the efs only to find the nv_data.bin is missing i had to replace it and then the device would boot, please please please if anyone can help..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Maybe try a different modem. If you are getting a signal it might be simply that the modem is incorrect for the region you're in. Not sure if there are any threads where someone has a list of region specific modem/rils? Maybe someone from your area can chip in.........maybe your friend could give you a copy of his modem/ril.

Also, theres an app on the play store galaxysimunlock, it works on the note 2 not sure if it will work on the note 10.1, but worth a shot. It requires root access and it allows you to backup and restore the efs. It also tells you the state of the phone regarding imei. What you could do, IF the app works, is backup the efs then get your mate to install the app as well and get him/her to backup their efs then copy the efs tar.gz from their tab to the galaxy simunlock folder on your tab (you would copy your efs tar.gz backup to another folder) and replace it. Then do an efs restore, reboot and see if it works.

You are so close to getting it back to normal. Don't give up just yet ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
don't worry as much as i would love to give up i cannot afford to..

i tried to flash an original md5 so i used the UAE one instead of the chinese and i noticed that it fails at flashing the radio.., so i had to flash back the chinese one and now i'm back the mod one >--> Revolution HD 3.0 so i make sure there's busybox and root.

i've asked my friend to try that apk you referred to me just waiting on him to get the message, mean while im trying to flash a tar.gz backup that he gave me earlier using EFS professional and still nothing.., moreover that i've tried almost every IMEI recovery way i have come across maybe im looking in the wrong direction or N8000 has different way i don't know im just so lost here.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
i have tried the galaxsim unlocker with my friend taking his backup with it and me restoring even the same version and still nothing..

i have checked the permissions and ownership using root explorer and all good, i'm lost what to do here :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spocky12:
Not giving good news but this won't work with another device's nv_data : private data such as imei are encrypted in nv_data with a key that is unique to each device. That means that if you take another device's nv_data, its imei can't be decrypted with your own device's key, thus you'll get a generic one.

As of now, I didn't take the time to experiment on how to replace/encrypt/decrypt data in nv_data so I won't be able to help much more :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
Thanks Spoky

Thanks for taking the time spoky :)

does anyone know some kind of box that could help fix this problem? like this one click imei generate ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Open/download terminal on the device and run these commands.

Su

dumpsys iphonesubinfo

What is the output?

Man I thought you had fixed this :(

Edit: Do you still have the box the tab came in? If so has it not got the imei number on the side of it?

Sorry for not posting anything on the latest but i didn't want to take anymore of your time guys.. you have been more than helpful to me and im grateful, but i started seeking someone with a box to help with the problem and finally when i found couple of people who has spt box and other boxes we couldn't find the cable and i been trying to find alternative ever since and its not going too well, one of the guys tried to use one of those paid servers to do it (IMEI) instead he said it is asking for the RJ cable and when i asked for the device back it, the serial number was "00000" now all im stuck with the the cable, im going to a place who does this cables.. hopefully they will be able to do it and i still couldn't find the pdf for the design on the internet..

im desperate here and i really dont know what to do :(

Good Luck...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
thanks for your reply but i already tried this method along with so many others, i was wondering if i could edit the bin itself with a program, what the box would do.

but now that i remember i think before i knew the efs was 0p3 i thought it was 0p1 and i made a partition 0p1 first could that effect or cause my problem? if so how do i fix it.. because the pit file isnt anywhere on the internet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mukito:
No, not backup. If anyone can upload the four files.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angryCHICKEN:
hello ! i have a same problem ! it seems no use to recover other's efs file because the tab will check the md5 of nv_data.bin with the code in nv_data.bin.md5 when it is booted. so the only thing we can do is to recover the s/n tnen send the tab to the service center .after that we could just pray for it ! but if we do so ,we will come to another problem,that the file nv.log in other samsung cellphone will provide md5 of the modified nv_data.bin ,however, n8000 will not . so if the service center finds that the s/n is different from that on your tab's cover , you lose your warranty !

for now the best way to solve it seems to be installing a efs,as you did ,then use your tab as n8010 with wifi only !

i spent more than half a year to fight with it, so i can totally understand what you feel and how disappointed you are !

if you have some other good idea, please tell me on wuyanze.athlon@gmail.com ~ i come from shanghai, hopeful to be your friend ~

HI,

After I used Odin and installed the official 4.1.2, Gmail is not syncing well.

Seems that on mobile data there is no issue, but from some reason, on wifi networks that I had no problem with before the update, Gmail is not syncing, at least not always.

Any suggestions on what can be the cause?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plod72:
If you plan to root try a different kernel since the wifi drivers are in the kernel it might make a difference. Does everything else work on the wifi?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shemsha:
Yes, all else works great on WIFI.

Also the sync - sometimes it works great.

I will also add that when I manually refresh the inbox, I sometimes get "No connection" although all else works great.

So strange.

About kernel, I prefer not to start playing too much with my phone.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceCaker:
go to the root of your source like

cd ~/android/system

apply patch using
[LIST]
[*]- "patch -p1 < "
[*]after ">" has to be a "blank space" (press spacebar),
[*]- now drop your patch file in to the terminal window, (this will add the path to the patch file),
[*]- run the created command
[/LIST]

or follow this site maybe its better :P

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHAD0W-WALKER:
Hi,

my galaxy s3 freeze and reboot itself automatically after 10 second (like a loop).

I did read almost every thread about this issue and I've been trying to fix it for two weeks :angel:

I tried to flash many roms (my phone's binary counter exceeded 30) :(

stock roms (ICS, JB)

custom roms

custom kernels

and I tried to wipe every thing

wipe cash

wipe data

wipe battery

wipe dalvik

The problem started two months ago. The phone was rebooting itself once a week. one night, it rebooted itself four times. then, It entered an infinite loop of freezing & rebooting ( on Samsung logo).

I used "Odin" to fix it by installing official rom from "Samsung-update". NOW, it still freezing but not on Samsung logo.

I don't know if it is "sudden death".... BUT I don't think so becuse I was using Android 4.1.1 and it still working for almost 10 second

---------------------------

It was working on Android 4.1.1 official rom with custom kernel (siyah)

the CPU clock was modified to be 1200 instead of 1400 (to save the battery)

Hi guys!

I had rooted u9200 on ICS firmware version B100, but I didn't manage to unlock bootloader to install CWM. So I decided to flash update 4.1.1 B508 offical beta firmware. I had to change build.prop to match the B508 version and I succesfully flashed 4.1.1 update. The problem now is that I can't root it. No way, I tried everything, not a chance. Also I can't downgrade because I have to change build.prop again to match the version I'm trying to downgrade to, but since I don't have root access I can't change build.prop. So now I'm stuck on unrooted beta version of 4.1.1.

Plese if anyone has any ideas and suggestions do not hesitate to write.
[Huawei Ascend P1] Tux2609:
Out with the old, in with the new

So, I finally menaged to root 4.1.1 and to flash cwm. So now I flashed CM10 4.2.1 and it's working fine, but... When I go to settings/storage I can see my internal memory as "Internal storage" 2.14GB and I can see my sd card as "sd card" 29.78GB, but from any file menager I tried to use the situation is different, I see my internal storage as "sd card" and my real sd card is nowhere to be found, I can't access it from anywhere. The card is working fine, I tried it on my pc, and I used it to install this CM10 I'm on now.

Anyone with similar issues?
[Huawei Ascend P1] nilbymouth:
Please help me.

Hi,

I have the exact same problem and have been scouring the internet for answer.

I bought my P1 in Hongkong, so had a Hongkong stock B104 firmware, i used unlockroots software to unlock it successfully, but like you did not put any recovery on it, so have no way to flash a new rom or any recovery. i also like you edited the build.prop file using root explorer and flashed B508 (Jellybean).

1) Can you please tell me in a step by step guide how u managed to get CM10 & recovery on your phone & where u got the software etc.

2) I have backed-up my phone using Hisuite and Hicloud using cload software to the Internet & SD cards, will this be ok or will your procedure erase my SD card and will i be able to restore.

3) How would you rate CM10 compared to B508 firmware, is everything working as it should.

Your help would be much appreciated, and i would be extremely grateful.

Regards

Nil

Hi!

I used this guide to root, unlock bootloader and install cwm (I know the b508 is 4.1.1 but it worked for me): http://betanews.com/2012/11/13/how-to-root-android-4-2/

Download recovery image from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?pdaj3bohegu0vox

ROM is here (if you haven't found it already): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1930207

I don't know if you will be able to restore, but I don't see why not. I used titanium backup, you must be careful not to restore any system apps or settings. Also make a full backup from recovery before restoring because it's possible that it gets stuck on boot. Also it will not erase your SD card but it might be wise to use a clear one just in case.

I've been using this ROM for some time now and it works great. The only thing that bothers me is that video recording doesn't work, but I guess this will be solved in new versions.
[Huawei Ascend P1] nilbymouth:
Hi,

Thank you ever so much, i will give this a go and let you know how it goes, by the way the link for the recovery image is not working, do you have any other links or know where or what i should be looking for.

[Huawei Ascend P1] nilbymouth:
Thanks for that, the tutorial mentions putting the phone in to fastboot, i have tried holding vol up & down buttons with power, phone just reboots.

I saw others saying to first take the battery out, how the heck do you take the battery out of the Ascend P1 (U9200)?

Could you please tell me how you proceeded at this step, also do you have google play working on it?

Would i not be able to flash a recovery image on the phone using AndroidControl app, it has a tab for flashing recovery but did not want to try it without asking if you tried this method?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Ascend P1] Tux2609:
Turn off the phone, hold the volume down button and then plug in the usb cable. This should turn the phone on and put it into fastboot.

After that just follow the instructions provided in the link above. I got a few error messages in the process but I proceeded with all commands and it worked.
[Huawei Ascend P1] nilbymouth:
Have you tried AndroidControl as it seems to have all the files thats mentioned in the tutorial and makes flashing recovery supposedly easy, i wonder if it will work on an unrooted phone.
[Huawei Ascend P1] Tux2609:
I have and it didn't work for me. You can try it for yourself if you want to. But this tutorial is easy enough for everyone I think, you just type in the commands it says and that's it.
[Huawei Ascend P1] nilbymouth:
UPDATE: I was able to flash the recovery using AndroidControl, i installed the driver first in fastboot mode and then restarted the phone, while still connected to the pc i ran AndroidControl then chose the flashing tab and flashed the recovery using cwm touch recovery, and then flashed with supersu file you gave me, to give me root acess, all went fine and my phone is now rooted with cwm touch recovery.

I still have not upgraded to CM10 as i wanted to see how B508 will be with Google play now working. As i did not have a recovery mode which could flash zip from sdcard, i was unable to flash gapps zip, i have now flashed gapps and all is working fine.

What was the reason you changed to CM10 rom, was the beta version of B508 not very good for you, i would really like to know what the difference is before flashing another rom?

Thank you very much for your help & assistance and your prompt replies.

XDA develepors forum rocks.
[Huawei Ascend P1] Tux2609:
Hi!

I'm glad to hear you made it. Why I use CM? Well, there really is no good answer to that. I was using CM on all my other phones too, I'm used to it, I like its speed and stability, I like look and feel and also I like it's additional options. That being said, there is one problem not with CM but with Jelly bean in general. Android 4.2 has a different directory structure, due to its new multiuser features. The problem with that is that you can't install apps on sd card and you can't use directory bind to bind data from sd card. So if you wish to play some games on your phone you will be limited by your phone's memory capacity. I hate this, I used to have a lot of big games on my phone and now I can't have more than two at the same time. At the moment I'm reverting back to 4.0.3 ROM just because of that, at least until theres some kind of solution or workaround for this.

Also theres nothing stopping you from playing with other ROM's. Just make a full backup in recovery and you can always go back to the ROM you find most suitable. In fact I would encourage you to download a few ROM's and try them out, see which one you like the most and which one suits your needs the best.
