An iOS upgrade ? No wonder you borked your IMEI :)

Go to Samfirmware, find the latest stock rom for your carrier/country. Flash it with Odin. How ? Search/read/learn. If you're lucky, yours is a case where the IMEI disappearing is a transient thing & doing a 'good' flash of stock (as opposed to the update that obviously barfed in some way - I presume you're talking about an OTA update as opposed to something you did manually ?) might well fix the problem. We've seen a number of similar problems on here lately.

If you're unlucky, you're SOOL & it ain't coming back. Rooting it isn't going to magically fix it unless you have an EFS backup, which you won't have if you're someone who's never rooted their phone. Take it to a local mobile repair shop, they may be able to help. A Samsung service centre/authorised repairer will also fix it for you regardless of the warranty status, they'll just charge you more than a local mobile shop who isn't an authorised Samsung repairer will, likely.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Explorer.net:
Thank you for your response! I took the S2 to a phone repair shop, the guy tried flashing it back to stock IOS but this failed. He ended up replacing the motherboard, all fine now. Would like to find out the safest way to upgrade the IOS to Jelly Bean now, it's currently running Gingerbread v2.3.3. Any advice appreciated, in the meantime will do some reading up.

Thanks all, great forum!

Okay i might be able to help you .but tell me your model number ......

if its GT-I9100 then you can update easily ,but if its gt-i9100G or smoething else,im nt sure i cn help .. u might have to do some readings ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Explorer.net:
The model is GT-I9100, I managed to successfully upgrade the IOS to 4.1.2 using Kies. Perhaps I should've done that first time around instead of selecting Settings-About Device-Software Update over Wifi - which resulted in the phone losing it's IMEI no.

Many thanks for the replies!

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langas:
Hi all,

The s3 mini from my girlfriend has a intermittent problem. (Stok no root)

Sometimes appears a wakelock keeping the movile on (no deep sleep) until reboot. Then maybe 2 or 3 days working grate and then appears the wakelock again.

Exploring with battery stats I can see "radio-interface" wakelock permanent when kernel is failing. And "svnet" walelock about 70% of the time.

Reboot again and solved. But some days later... again return home after 14h with just 20% battery left. When movile working fine arrives at 70% batery left (few use)

Anyone knows what can cause this? Anyone else with this problem?:confused:

Thnxs 4 your attention!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PRRash:
Do not look into the percentage of application.. :):) "Count" is what that matters the most... Charge the phone to 100%, under batterstat set it for Partial Wakelocks and Since Unplugged. For every app under this setting, there will a number indicating the count. Find the application with the Most Count, force stop it and test the battery backup :):) Betta ta uninstall :) test and respond back :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahhm2011:
I have 3 questions about the s3 mini:

1- What is the available internal memory in the 8 GB version?

2-Does it support mkv videos in stock player?

3-Can it play this video sample in stock player (hardware decoding) ?

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecore:
with 8gb memory , internal will be 4,5gb , and ram will be 808 ( some space are reserved for sistem ) , about playing videos , mine does :) But you should take a player for videos .
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahhm2011:
so u can play mkv videos and the above sample in stock player?

and please i need the exact internal memory

thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enox.co:
" i need the exact internal memory " how exact ? exact as your question ? there are much differences between the firmwares ..... best way you ask samsung support they should know it & they earn money with it ^^
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahhm2011:
i mean memory available for apps and sdcard (internal storage)

and i wanna be sure that s3 mini can play mkv videos in stock player because gsmarena said in their review that mkv videos aren't recognized and also the above sample because the cpu isn't enough to play it smoothly in sw decoding

thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kicker63:
Use MX player, download from Google Play store it plays MKV files.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enox.co:

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

....he hasn´t got a GT-I8190 .....and he wants to know if it works with stocked player .....

....i tested your "test video" and it works with stocked player without any problems & .mkv works too without problems, lags etc .... and my useable free internal storage is 4,31 gb ..
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahhm2011:
thanx man, i wonder why gsmarena said that mkv files aren't recognized although samsung phones are known for their great video players, that's really weird, thanx again anyway :)

Tried updating from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2.

But assert check failed returning above file in results. Somehow it's been modified. No idea when and how.

Anyone running 4.2.1, could you please provide me this file.

Thanks in anticipation.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurudev32:
Here is the list of only apps with root access in my tab.

Carbon - App backup and restore, Solid explore, Stick mount, SuperSU, System tuner pro and Terminal Emulator.

Thought to seek out the culprit!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixTank:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17326185/build.prop

MD5: D9D1855E0C90049DC410A4406B802259

Pulled this from the 4.2.1 factory image. I seem to have got past the debuggerd error message now (though I need to revert my build.prop entirely, apparently).

Included build.prop (not yet tested) from 4.2.1 image too.

Working for me and now running 4.2.2.

At your own risk, yadda yadda, not responsible for explosions or anything less terrible, blah blah.

FWIW, I had been using Stickmount and superSU.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurudev32:
Thanks :) Now 'm on 4.2.2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
In the future, If you want to pull arbitrary file(s) from Google N7 factory images, a useful skill set is to figure out how to use "sim2img" utility and loopback mounts (Windows need not apply).

Those system.img files shipped by Google are "sparse ext4 images" - they can not be directly mounted as a loopback, but that's where the "sim2img" utility comes in

The sequence goes like this:

- use sim2img to convert Google image file to regular ext4 image file

- loopback mount reg. image file

- grab whatever files you want (and check user/GRP ownership & modes)

It really is just that easy.

The "sim2img" utility is part of the android ext4_utils toolset. See this XDA thread from the Galaxy S forums for more details. (Yes the N7 system.img files from Google are also in this format.)

cheers
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRejzo:
How to make it? and i will lose all data? thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidereusOne:
Big thanks.

Replacing the debuggerd file allowed twrp to load the 4.2.2 update.

Also interesting, other than titanium, the only other root app on this device is Stickmount.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diba320:
Did not work for me ...

I have a N7 3G and the same message when trying to update. Replaced mine with the one from the download, no change, same error.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grybouille:
First of all, thanks a lot to PhoenixTank who provides me the solution. :good:

In fact to make it work, I had to change the permissions allowed on that file named "debuggerd", I checked what permissions were allowed on the original file and do the same on the copied one. I did it with ES explorer in root mod.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixTank:
You'd need to backup and rename the existing debuggerd then move/copy the 4.2.1 debuggerd file to /system/bin/

Then match the permissions of the old debuggerd (I think it was 644, but I wouldn't swear by it).

The OTA zip should actually go through after that, or at least tell you about a new file you need to fix. You shouldn't lose any data, but you should probably clear cache and dalvik cache.

I did most of this via adb shell, but there are root file managers that can help. If you aren't confident about doing this and how it works, my posting was not really for you. Strongly suggest reading up until you feel confident before you start changing things around in the system partition.

Unfortunately the 3G version is different to the Wifi Nexus 7, and as you've found, the files will not work.

Since I posted, Google pulled the 4.2.1 factory images from the download site - I'm not really in a good position to help you here.

The 4.2.2 factory image might be of more use if you can't source the 3G specific files. i.e. flash the new factory image.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkyELF:
Had this same problem. Will try solution tomorrow morning. Probably will download the links rather than trying to extract them myself (though I may leave that for a later exercise).

Would like to note that I also use StickMount as well as SixAxis Controller, Wifi Key Recovery, AppSync and LMT Launch err.

Seems like stick mount is the common one though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkyELF:
Thanks guys

Those 2 files worked.

I got past "Verifying current system" and am now on 4.2.2.

I wanted to try to get the files myself as an exercise but Google pulled the 4.2.1 images from their website.

What is weird... is that I noticed a /system/bin/debuggerd.bak file that I didn't make myself, don't know what did (though StickMount seems to be the current suspect).

The weird thing is that debuggerd and debuggerd.bak were exactly the same.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
oldblue910 (OP of the OTA thread) has got you covered. Select the link on the rhs of the page as appropriate for your device (nakasi/nakasig)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rody2k6:
I want to do this, but I can't find the system/bin folder, what root explorer apps do you guys use?

EDIT: Used Total Commander, copied the permissions from old file to new and voilah! It worked.

No need to download build prop.

Now I am on 4.2.2

EDIT 2: Now WiFi only says SAVED and not CONNECTED.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeka73:
Just want to say THANK YOU!! I've been researching this error since Friday and finally found the solution here! And yes, I too have Stickmount! :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixTank:
Can only recommend that you clear cache and dalvik cache. I have not experienced Wifi issues since the update.

To anyone I've helped, you are very welcome and I appreciate those thanks clicks too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpanzeexda:
can i do the reverse ? i.e. ext4 partition back to flashable img ?

that way it would be easier to root as I just need to dump a copy of su into it then flash.

And for Windows, just get oracle virtualbox(or your favorite VM, even virtual PC should work) and boot a copy of debian :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Yes. I did exactly the same thing, but for 4.2.1. Guess I need to repeat it now for 4.2.2. Note in this case "flashable" means the fastboot way (as with the Factory ROM flashes), not via custom recovery.

Uhh let's see - the script tool used for re-packing is ./mkuserimg.sh - see the links I provided above
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayno-san:
I need some help... I'm rather noobie. Had issue with upgrading to 4.2.2 so copied the debuggerd and build.prop files over to the system/bin directory. Still failed to upgrade. Tried it again today and now the N7 will not boot up. I can see it's on but it just stops at a blank screen. I have stock 4.2.1 w/root. Stock bootloader. I'm thinking its refusing to boot because I forgot to change the file permissions on the debuggerd file but not sure how to try and fix it. Please advise...

UPDATE: Managed to flash the system partition for 4.2.2 so hoping I'm good to go. Asked this question in another post but is it necessary to update any of the other partitions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonangreg:
Me too. It seems SickMount is the problem, though I am not certain. I replaced it with a virgin copy and then my update to 4.2.2 proceeded smoothly. My workflow is documented here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40740636#post40740636
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheArtiszan:
Hello all.

I used the trevmod to get tethering working on my device and everything up until today has been working great and could access everything with just the user agent mod.

But today I got the dreaded push message about tethering when watching netflix and doing homework. Web browsing still worked but my netflix stopped.

Has anyone else noticed that netflix is being blocked from tethering somehow now?

Anyone possibly know a way arround it?

I have installed hotspot shield on my phone and that didn't seem to make a difference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
It's not Netflix specific.

I've been throttled pretty much for the last couple months. Nav and cyan Pandora. Went out of town. Netflix takes up more data than Google
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheArtiszan:
Not so much that it's throttled but actually blocked desktop streaming some how.

I started streaming ok then got the push message to my phone saying it was blocked.

Like somehow, even with user agent string being changed, it counted the streaming data of Netflix toward the free 100 mb before blocking even though never did before.

But yet, with user agent being changed, the web browsing itself never got blocked.

Even with the default ie9 user agent wasn't blocked either. Just Netflix streaming.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheArtiszan:
No one else has seen this?

I tried again today and in a different area just to make sure was not a fluke and had the same problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheArtiszan:
So now one else that does the work arround onT-Mobile tethering has noticed their netflix streaming is somehow blocked?

Tethering still works perfectly fine it is just the netflix that don't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gyggyty:
Download hotspot shield vpn on the android market and run the vpn on ur phone. Connect with trev mod like normal and you wont need the user agent switcher. The way it works is it blocks tmobile from seeing the type of data you are using and they wont know you are tethering.
