Nice tutorial, I have Canvas HD A116, can I use this method to backup and restore my IMEI and baseband? Recently my IMEIs started showing Invalid and my baseband is showing "Unknown" I have my IMEI backed up with MobileUncle tool but now it is unable to restore the IMEIs. I have few backups of my ROM as well, I have taken backup of my ROMs using CWM and TWRP, so can I get nv_data from those ROMs and restore my IMEIs and baseband? Please help me guys.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] bensonhsu2008:
does this means that i could flash another region stock rom now? (using odin)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
anybody tested flashable zip that backups efs ? i want to backup mine ...

edit. oh, i saw it is only for restoring nvm ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
It's for both (backup & restore).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
nvm, already backed up. this files can be very useful if you break your efs ;)

thanks
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] manlink2:
I dont understand this blahblahblah , can you say by steps¿
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
I need someone's efs and modemfs partition backup... i think mine are broken somehow... (i have no 3g) Thanks

edit. nvm, i found my old backup ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Samwix26:
HI :)

If I flash nv_backup.zip it will backup my CSPSA, MODEMFS and EFS partitions? If yes, there 3 partitions will be saved in my external sd card and in which folder?

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Samwix26:
I know I have to copy the empty folder nv_backup, backup_nv.zip and restore_nv.zip in root of my external sd card. Then I'll flash backup_nv in temporary cwm and it will backup my CSPSA, MODEMFS and EFS partitions in the empty folder nv_backup which is in root of my external sd card, isn't it? :D

Please :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
Yes, after applying the zip there will be 3 files (efs, modemfs, cspsa) on external sdcard -> nv_backup fodler.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Samwix26:
And if I have unknown baseband/unknown IMEI, I have to flash nv_restore.zip ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] zipperX:
what could cause EFS, modemfs, cspsa break ? [MENTION=2886929]Szaby59[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
Mostly flashing custom roms.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
Please, do backup. It is very important. One day you might break your partitions and what then ?

This saved my phone couple of times
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Samwix26:
But I m on MC8, if I flash MG2 then a custom rom and I get no baseband. I will reflash nv_restore then I will have MG2 baseband? :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fluffi444:
You again, Samwix! :)

You have an 8160P with MC8 which is normally for 8160 (non-P) - right?

And which MG2 do you flash? 8160P or 8160?

Did you made your 8160P@8160 back to an FULL 8160P according to my HOW-TO in the meantime or not?

Please report the current state of your Phone completly - Otherwise we cannot help.

It could be helpfull to restore you TEE folder according on which you are currently (8160P or 8160)

Keep in mind that you made your 8160P to an FULL 8160 (non-P) with MC8 FW!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Samwix26:
Yeah ! :) I'm very annoying because I don't want to brick my cheer Ace 2. :o

1. Yes :)

2. i8160P (after flashing 3-parted ME1 OXA) DBT MG2. :)

3. No. :/

"Keep in mind that you made your 8160P to an FULL 8160 (non-P) with MC8 FW!"

I can't restore my i8160P with MC8 non-p FW to i8160P ME1 OXA 3-parted with your GUIDE????????? :eek: :(

[MENTION=4962787]fluffi444[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fluffi444:
OMG! NO - Its not possible to bring back full 8160P only with 3-Parted 8160P ME1 FW....

I wrote this at the end of the this HOW-TO:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426437

The ONLY known way to bring back FULL 8160P is this HOW-TO:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2352064

Samwix! We had this all already discussed!

So you flashed your 8160 (which it still is) with the 8160P FW - Be lucky that its not bricked!!!

Two possibilities for you (If you never want to brick you Phone)

1) Stay with your 8160 and flash ONLY 8160 FWs!

2) Go back to FULL 8160P with the corresponding HOW-TO - And flash ONLY 8160P FWs.

And stay away form any customs ROMs afterwards :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Samwix26:
You didn't understand xD

I bought an i8160P. Then I have flashed MB4 then MC8 non-P firmware over my i8160P xD

So I have to follow your guide "[HOW-TO] Recover FULL GT-I8160P if flashed to GT-I8160 (non-P)" and it will be fine? xD
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fluffi444:
No - I think you didn't. Sorry - But I'm out on this. Please understand this...

I don't want to repeat myself again and again....

ALL is written already.... read it... understand it... and make or leave it... Your choice.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Bogazicili90:
Please someone help I wrote everywhere but nobody helps except "teddytsen" I need to change my imei. But I found imei not in mmcblk0p7 but in 0p5. I changed it inside and I need to send it back to phone but it is 1,21 gb so ES file explorer says there is no available space on device. This tutorial doesn't work for me adb commands doesn't work it doesn't recognize mkdir commands.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
What is 1.21 GB size ?

Sent from my GT-I8160
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Bogazicili90:
my efs information is not in mmcblk0p7 but in mmcblk0p5 I copied mmcblk0p5 to computer using ES file explorer root priveleges and changed my imei using hex editor on this file (mmcblk0p5) but this file seems 0 byte on phone but 1,21 GB on PC so I can't copy it back with ES file explorer it says no available space I need to send it when the device is off maybe. I also looked at mmcblk07 but it doesn't store my imei inside. My phone is not an original galaxy ace 2. My sisters husband bought it as original but I understand that it isn't. And imei is cloned. So I have to change it with my LG KM900 imei.

Now JB 4.1.2 is flashed and rooted. I try some commands with adb but I amn't successful and need help.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
Hmm afaik imei is in 0p6 ( cspsa partition )

But if your changed file is 1.2Gb it is impossible to flash on your partition because partition sizes are limited and .img of that partition must have same size as original one. On your place i wont touch anything. I still dont understand why you have to change imei .. Is it broken or somethig ?

Sent from my GT-I8160
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Bogazicili90:
I really don't know it seems 0 BYTE on the phone but when I change the permissions to read write etc. and copy to extsdcard it becomes 1,21 gb and my imei is inside it. I have to change it because the imei number inside of it is clones and we cannot use a simcard. In Turkey a cloned imei is blocked so you can't use it. And the seller defaud us and sold a fake mobile phone with cloned imei. I need to write a valid imei at least to use the phone with simcard.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Bogazicili90:
I understand somethings better now. Anybody really knows where the imei information is stored? It seems it isn't only in mmcblk0p5 it also show ups in mmcblk0. Is it possible to edit it with Hex editor?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
Imei, serial and simlock are on CSPSA_FS.

mmcblk0 is the whole nand, contains ALL partitions, and no, you can't edit imei or sim unlock the phone with hex editor...

Also modifying imei is illegal!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Ryccardo:
Check the other thread, I think he confused whatever file contains the IMEI in /data (blk0p5; 1,2GB) with the real deal.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Rox:
Oh he copied data partition ... It is 0p5 xD

does it change per device??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fluffi444:
Yes - its changing...

To output your partition table you can use PARTED, GDISK or/and FDISK

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33358988&postcount=2

Also look at Download These Partition Tools in this post how to install those little programs

Put them to SYSTEM/BIN

Perms: 0:2000 - 755

And run them via ADB SHELL SU

I suggest PARTED - Enter the command which are marked BOLD (Dont know if the main partiiton ist also mmcblk0 on yours!!)

This is from my 8160P - Just as example - Dont wonder about the big DATA Partition - This is modified

why did you update it via odin? you must update it via Kies to the right version of Jb acording to your region. Find any gb version for ace 2 then downgrade it to gb. Download KIES, and then connect device. Click "update device software" wait till steps are done and will be ok.

Many Apps (all paid and some free ones) do not appear on my "Play Store" due to regional restrictions. I have been using "Market Unlocker" for ages and has been setting my "Play Store" to "Verizon USA" smoothly but suddenly it's no longer working. I have tried different versions, different markets codes, rebooting, clearing cache and force stopping both "Play Store" and Market Unlocker" but nothing is working. Is there any workaround or any similar working Apps? I'm on Stock 4.2.1 rooted. I have "Titanium Backup Pro" installed -in case there is a market tweak or something.

Hi, I've been comparing my hox+ with my old hox in regards to navigation, using GPS status I can get less than a meter accuracy on the hox but only pick up around 8 SATs, on the hox+ I can pick up more than 17 SATs but can't get less than 4meters accuracy, now if there was a connection problem then I can't see the phone picking up 17 SATs and getting a fix within 30secs, can I get some feedback from other hox+ owners to see how accurate your phone is before I decide whether mine is busted or something, I've recently had the screen and unibody replaced, mobile signal and WiFi are working brilliant, so I think its an issue with the phones hardware, but hoping I'm not the only one as I've only had my phone back a week, not even used it hardly since purchase.

As long as you're GPS is picking up satellites it's working fine. All you have to do is modify the region servers by editing the GPS.conf file found in system/etc.

I couldn't find a definitive answer on my question:

If I root, flash then flash ROM #1, then want to flash another ROM...#2 and decide that ROM #2 is not as useful, can I do a restore, from the nandroid I saved from ROM #1, that will bring everything from ROM #1 back as it was, or do I need to flash it all over again?

pretty basic stuff I know. I think that is the whole point of a recovery to return to the previous state, just making sure before I flash a new ROM
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Just restore your nandroid. I do it all the time. The one caveat is that I'd you're s-on and the two ROMs require different kernels, you'll need to flash the kernel separately. If you're s-off, it's all automatic.
