[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whisky_:
Hello,

I bought a refurbished Nexus S from an online retailer in my country. As soon as I got it, I flashed CM10.1 on it and got it up and running but I immediately realised that the signal strength on the phone was WEAK! I only got 1-2 bars in my living room and sometimes no signal strength at all. However, as soon as I go out to my apartment's balcony, everything is back to full signal strength. The phone just keeps on dropping reception.

I looked into it and found that my phone had the M200KRKC1 radio so I said to my self, hey, lets flash it with one of the newer radios and it should be fine, right? WRONG! :( I'm running one of the newer KF radios and it's still the same.

Summary:

Initial radio: M200KRKC1

Current radio: Newer KF radio.

Situation: The same as before, weak reception.

Any help with this would be highly appreciated because this is driving me insane and I have to resort to an old Nokia phone of mine till then.

Thanks and regards.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
You've got the Korean M200 (sojuk) version. According to Google official image website https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#sojuk , M200KRKC1 is already the latest radio. Could it be incompatible radio (hardware) issue?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whisky_:
Thanks for your response. I am not sure if its hardware but the reception was the same with the other radio too. I'm stumped :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
South Korean carriers are CDMA2000 and UMTS based (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code#K). I think M200 radio support CDMA2000 and HSPA, not sure about GSM support level, which is used in Pakistan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code#P).

This is based on info in wiki, which may not be up-to-date or accurate.

Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endershadow:
Hi, I'm trying to connect my Galaxy Nexus Unlocked to a Bluetooth dongle. My Nexus sees the device but when I click on it, it gives me a 6 digit passkey to enter on the dongle. The dongle has preset 4 digit codes and there's no way to enter a different passkey on the device/dongle.

So...is there a way to manually enter a different passkey on my Nexus?

Is this a Legacy pairing vs SSP problem? Read about that after googling for a while.

Thanks!

Hey Ppl

I see there is an App to Sony smartphone, to disable one CPU core to improve the battery.

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/01/28/xcore-allows-you-to-disable-a-cpu-core-to-improve-battery/

Is there anything similar App to Samsung devices lik S2?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plod72:
You can change when the phone uses one core or two in the tweaks for Siyah and Dorimanx kernels but the one core would run for longer to process the same amount of work load so it would not save nearly as much as you would expect. The phone already puts one core off when it is not needed. That said I have not tried it so cant back it up with figures

In STweaks it is "MIN Frequency for 2 core"

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Uncheck the box "trust system user" in SuperSU's settings.

If that is not the case see if betterbatterystats is asking for those permissions

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
Hello,

I'm not new to the forums and I'm not new to bricking devices but I'm new to bricking GT-N8000 and this time i think i lost my efs and did not backup..

what i did wrong simply is i don't know how but i managed to flash 10.1 the TABLET instead of note and it didn't read any signal so when i figured out later what i did i downloaded a rom and tried to install hoping everything will be okay which it didn't.. downloaded a firmware from samfirmware which was one md5 file and since then i'm stuck with the opening window "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1", so now i figured what i need is to flash EFS img, right now i have installed cwm and custom rom but when it loads it get stuck on Samsung logo.

i also factory reset after that i tried to format the sdcard which is the internal storage, and i think i might have format something called pre-load folder also the cache partition which i suspected due to my limited newbie thinking thought it might help

I'm not sure what should i do and i been looking everywhere for almost 7 hours now and still got nothing, Please Help.

i tried to flash the original firmware not that it came with because it came from china but the UAE one, and when i do it get stuck on the opening logo unlike the custom firmware that gets stuck on Samsung logo, and when i try to access the recovery mode i get this down there in the logo:

E: Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

E: Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

Applied CSC-Code : unknown

Successfully applied multi-CSC

E: Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

anyone can shed some light on what i might need to do :(

can you get into ODIN mode?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
yes

yes i can get into download mode and i already used it to flash the original pda so with the cwm
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Okay, lets take it a step at a time. Can you boot into recovery? IF so, clear the cache, dalvik, and do a factory reset (you will lose data). Then try rebooting the tab.

Also, what happens when you connect up to Odin? Does it show com connected?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
i did all that

i did all that already and i can connect to download mode fine no problem so does my recovery works fine as well,

the problem seems to be that when i installed the tablet rom erased my efs or im not sure what happened exactly but for all i know i need an efs img for n8000 because i didnt back it up and cant find it T_T
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Which rom were you on originally, as in region and version? Which telco provider?

Your first post is a bit garbled and hard to read.

Im guessing you bought the tab in china? But you live in UAE?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
you're rgith the device originally came from china and it was unlocked so i had to replace it with something else and it wasn't moded used it for over 4 months and then recently i tried to install something else which led to me by mistake install a tablet rom that was installed and there was no signal thats when i noticed, after that i downloaded moded one by revolution and installed it via cwm after that i rebooted and it got stuck at samsung logo then i tried the original one after reboot it got stuck at the first logo that says Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 after that i formated sdcard and preload folder so is cache
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Assuming the product is not a fake flashing a stock rom may bring back your EFS folder .

Preference would be for the original rom .

EFS /IMEI is tied to the phone not a folder that can be swapped .

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
im not sure

i'm not sure what you meant, but why would i get that error that efs cannot be mounted and i already tried to flash the original rom, and it was one big file..

im just lost here i don't really know what to do im just assuming.. please advise
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:

Select N8000 roms in the search box and scroll down to the China rom. Download and install via odin. This will take you back to the stock rom. It should replace your efs folder.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
im downloading now, but do you think it will work? i mean what different is it from any other rom, isnt all of them the same when it comes to that mattter ?

have you flashed the China firmware from this thread thru ODIN? not thru CWM?

if it doesn't work, definitely do a wipe and reflash
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
downloading, but

im downloading it from samfirmware but do you really think that the original firmware could replace an efs mount error? i thought th efs wasn't replaceable and about the phone unit so is the IMEI,

also if anyone could or have already seen N8000 Pit file ever please advise where to get it because i've searched the internet all over for it with no use
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
On the OG tab 7 the efs was replaced by flashing to region specific stock. Would imagine it would be same here. You just lose ALL data in the process.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
i have a friend who sent me EFS but when i tried to install it from recovery but it aborts, any ideas on how to get it there or if i have to unizp it and install one of the md5 files or one of bin inside like nv_data,

also please if you could help me locate the pit file for n8000 which doesn't exist i'd be grateful
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
From what I remember its not a flashable file. It needs to be copied and pasted via a file explorer.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
is there a way?

is there a way to do that in cwm?:(

and what about that pit file, have you seen it or came across it before?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbbbs:
what happened when you used ODIN to flash a whole new firmware?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Not that I know of. You need r/w permissions (root access) and from the tab you need to use a file explorer to replace the efs folder with the new one. I doubt your friends efs data would help anyway, the imei is unique to each device.

The pit file contains the partition information for the device. Unless you have messed with it (unlikely as it is hard to mess with) then I wouldn't worry about the pit file.

Did you try flashing the china rom from samfirmware yet?

OP needs to calm down, stop assuming anything and listen to the people here who are trying to help. If you can get your samsung device into the download mode (also known as odin mode), your device is not bricked.

After flashing stock rom,boot into odin mode again and flash the stock recovery and let it reboot.Stock recovery is somewhere in the forum but don't know where.

any ideas please?

the thing is i get the same error he posted a picture to in recovery about mounting the efs but i didn't mess with it and as it was stated earlier its not easy to tamper with efs, so is there any chance my case could be fixed with no box? because im pretty sure it doesn't exist in my country just yet and then im screwed for good..

also if you could guide me to what is that terminal thing and if there's a way that i can access the device via recovery.. or if i'll have to install the tablet rom again i just need directions and i will do my best.

please advise..

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbbbs:
I'm certainly no expert, but I can only think of two things that are within my abilities, first, plug in you tablet to a pc, then look though all the files that are left in the tablet and hope that the efs file got moved somewhere and you can restore it with the thread in my previous post. second, flash the WiFi Only ROM (8013 or 8018)) and see if that works. I'm a rookie so that's about all I can suggest, best of luck

what happens when you plug it into a pc? does the computer recognize it?

in regards to sharing efs files it seems it's a legal gray area

maybe this thread can help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
It can be done, I had the same problem on my P1000 a while back. Now the method I did to recover was to use the original nv_data.bak. Nv_data.bak is the backup of nv_data.bin. This is the file we need. To try my method you need to be able to access the root folder and have r/w permissions to acces to the root folders, (the efs folder will show up empty otherwise). Hence why I was trying to get the tab back to a bootable state.

IF he can't boot into the tab then the only other way is to use adb and the push commands. This is out of my area of expertise, I can usually navigate my way around adb but I wouldn't like to offer advice on it as it might be incorrect.

That said, here are a couple of threads that might offer the help the OP requires.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
i guess before i start with the whole adb thing and push commands i need to flash mod rom on the tablet and cwm first, right?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Yeah to modify any root data the tab needs to be rooted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
I'm sorry i didn't mean disrespect but, will it be rooted even it won't boot to complete the final setup steps?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
If you were running cwm recovery then the tab was rooted. Unless you unrooted it the root should still be there. Just take things nice and slow and make sure you follow each steps to the letter. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
the problem like i told you all of these threads needs you to use explorer in your device, none of them does it in recovery like me, so i tried this .jar application in xda to browse the files and i did and also i was able to push them there but after a restart they're gone, so now im checking efs professional, it used to open except it'd wait for adb connection which i hadn't known about before now that i was able to establish it, it gives force close in windows, thought there might be away that writes them rather than just push them, please correct me on what i have done so far
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Having re-read your post, I think you are misunderstanding the root explorer side. This is accessed through adb. You need to download root explorer apk and have it in the same directory as adb on your PC!!. Adb then accesses root explorer which then accesses the tabs sd card root.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieselz:
when i try ti install the apk i got from google for root explorer i get this message that i think means theres no permission?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Hehe, finally getting somewhere ;) That imei is the fake one, what you need to do is replace it with the one you backed up. Once it is replaced you need to change the ownership by doing the chown 1001:radio /efs/nv_data.bin it should go back to normal and allow the phone function and data function again.
