[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Qureshi:
Hello Friends.... I have bought this phone on ebay I was told that the only problem with it was that it was a blocked imei with carrier 3 in uk...As i I am in Saudi Arabia so I thought I would use it here....Even After putting a sim card when i tried to goto settings and network it says insert sim card to access the network services... Even though sim card is inside the phone and sim is not damaged at all.... When i tried to check the imei of the phone by code *#06#.... it says null null and in about its baseband is also unknown.... I know this phone is rooted cause i see in apps this super su thing... I dont care for it to be rooted ... I want to use the phone ... I tried to experiment some of the ways mentioned on here but all of them say to goto diag mode but when i do that my computer does not recognize phone and says usb device was not recognized error....But phone starts charging.... I dont know what is wrong with that???? Please guys guide me with any possible way to get the imei back so i could get an unlock code from some vendor and start using it ...I dont care if its rooted or on carrier stock rom... PLEASE HELP
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Imei blocking is international, so unfortunately there isn't anything you can do

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Qureshi:
there is no way to get the imei back ??? It is not even connecting to kies... kies keeps showing connecting but not connecting actually
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
No, except sending it in to Samsung for repair.

The imei may be blacklisted (at this pooint you do not know) but the problem you are experiencing stems from the efs folder having been wiped.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Qureshi:
Do you think its just software issues? or something has happened to the hardware??? I just hope samsung wouldnt charge me too much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Neither, at a guess, as already stated, it sounds as though your imei has been blocked
[HTC Droid DNA] ergotelis:
Hi, just saw the review at gsmarena, it mentions a radio with RDS. So, does our phone have fm radio too? I would be surprised if it doesn't have one!

ps. Have seen similar threads mentioning that it doesn't have one. But, are you sure now?Is it maybe a matter of programming?
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
There is an "internet radio" app on the phone, but you can't open it.... Probably not the same anyway. Internet is not FM. How about the teardown, did it show the guts for FM? Hardwear should be in place first.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jrocker23:
If the DNA had FM radio, it would have come with an FM Radio app...Probably doesn't have it and would be very surprised it the app was released for it in the future. Usually doesn't work like that.
[HTC Droid DNA] ergotelis:
This is not true i had previously a at&t one x and it did have fm radio but no app for this! So i am wondering if the same happens here and we just need a custom rom+app to use fm radio, as butterfly has(at least this is what i read).

If someoene takes the app from butterfly, we might test it in DNA too!
[HTC Droid DNA] amit_sen:
The butterfly has fm radio.

I tried virtuosdna Rom which is based on butterfly firmware on my DNA and it had fm radio app but I couldnot tune into any radio station with it. There was only a hiss sound all the time.Since butterfly n DNA r having same hardware I believe there must be some config missing rather than fmradio chip.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
The thing is they don't have the same hardware though.
[HTC Droid DNA] cmfx:
Just get tune in radio from the play store you can get any radio station in the country...
[HTC Droid DNA] ergotelis:
Are you sure they don't have the same hardware? I thought the only difference is the sd card. Also, tune in uses internet, I would prefer non internet radio!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Wireless charging and NFC vary among the models, the DNA doesn't have ipx5 rating, I think the j butterfly has ir, heck they are different sizes.
[HTC Droid DNA] jlevy73:
I'm using viper rom but on my x920e so I had to make several changes to get everything working including using the x920e stock kernel. Radio works fine for me. If I remember correctly, radio functionality is tied to the kernel but I need a dev to confirm that. In either case, on my x920e using Viper Rom with my own custom mods FM radio works perfectly.

Hey everybody, I just have a question about the boot-loader, can I flash firmwares that's in a ftf or using update service when I have a Xperia S with locked bootloader using the Sony method? Or do they just talk about when you update your phone using the update app on your phone? I'm just curious because I don't want to brick my new phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wub901:
Ok any links on how I do this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xShottaZx:
Is it so hard to type on google or youtube "How to flach a stock firmware with locked Bl?"

I bet you will find a answer to your question.

Anyway.. You can use flashtool to to flach a stock rom.. just download the latest .ftf file and install it on your phone using flashtool..

need tutorial? just watch at youtube.. its easy

Yes you posted in the right section. Thanks for that. :good:

And if any user or post offended you then rather posting back, you straight report to the Moderator. That is much helpful. This is the icon for the Report option, at the top right corner of each post.

And now to answer your questions-

Yes you can certainly flash any Stock ROM in your device, bootloader unlocking is not required for that. Bootloader unlocking is required if you only need to use custom ROM or custom kernel.

This is how to flash. Follow the steps. It's given with the screenshots

And finally you can search more, cause every new questions are being already answered somewhere in this forum of Xperia S. :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan_hines:
Recently, whenever I flash a rom that is not stock, I am having trouble making and receiving phone calls. The first call is all scrambled distorted and subsequent calls are no voice at all. This never used to happen to me at all with any rom. I COMPLETELY deleted everything off my phone via both CWM and ADB shell's parted rm command. I then reflashed the img files (radio, recovery, and the zip) and everything worked fine in ICS Stock. This is a Telus phone. Has anyone dealt with this kind of bug?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
Try running CPU at 1GHz (or lower). I found voice distorted if I overclock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan_hines:
Backup your EFS it's muy importante!

Well it wasn't overclocking or a radio image issue as I tried both. I can't proove it but I think a custom rom overwrote my /efs partition and essentially made my phone on the network invalid, luckly I was able to find a proper backup of the /efs and reinstall it I just hope this doesn't happen again and I encourage all of you to BACKUP YOUR /EFS PARTITION it's very simple just type adb root, then adb remount then finally adb.exe pull /efs/ boom there it is in your pc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan_hines:
Well I thought I had the problem licked, turns out for some reason, and I do hope someone knows the answer to this problem, if I flash back to stock 4.0.4,*#06# shows my proper IMEI, if I flash a custom rom (any custom rom) and my IMEI goes back to IMEI: 004999010640000
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Install your custom rom, then paste back your /efs folder from your backup?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan_hines:
Tried that, didn't work. I don't know maybe it has something to do with the permissions/owner of the files. To make matters worse now that partition is showing signs of corruption but I don't know how to repair it. It is a YAFFS partition.

/dev/block/mtdblock6 /efs yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime 0 0
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan_hines:
I got my imei back yeah!!

oh i am so relived

It took me a while to understand how the imei system woks but i think i have the gist of it now. i don't know if this works for other models but it must considering i took information from a multitude of sources to work out a solution here's what I did

Before starting this tricky set of commands please make sure your phone has the following settings:

ROOTED

HAS BUSYBOX INSTALLED

HAS EITHER ROOTEXPLORER OR ADB

YOUR PC HAS A PROPER UNIX TEXT EDITOR (NOTEPAD++ OR JEDIT)

Ensure you have one good copy of nv_data.bin somewhere on the phone. it could be located in either /efs or /data/radio

Ensure you have a nv.log with at least one line that looks somewhat like this:

MD5 fail. orignal md5 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' computed md5 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' (rild)

where the X's are a bunch of number and letters.

Copy the good nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log to both the sdcard and then via usb put them on your hard drive in a folder called efsbackup

(use either rootexpoler or adb shell to copy the files to the sdcard first)

Open the nv.log and look for the second sting of lines. after the words computed md5 (the first string is the md5 the phone found and the second string is the md5 it was expecting for. if the md5 it was expecting can't be found, it uses the default IMEI 004999010640000

Open nv_data.bin.m5d with a proper unix text editor (I suggest Notepad++ or jedit) and remove the sting of numbers and letters and replace it with the string from the nv.log (the second string after computed md5) and save the file

Go back to the phone and put the phone into Airplane Mode (this turns off the radio)

Copy the files nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.m5d back to the sdcard overwirting them

Using either rootexplorer or adb shell copy the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 back to the original folder (either /efs or /data/radio (for me it was /data/radio that did the trick))

Using either rootexplorer or adb shell ensure both files have the following attributes Owner:radio Group:radio Owner:RWX Group:R Other:R

Using adb shell type ps (this lists all the running processes) find the one that end with rild and remember the pid

Using adb shell type kill pid# where pid# is the rild process (this restarts the radio)

Go back to the phone and take the phone out of Airplane mode

Reboot the phone

Open up the dialer and dial *#06# (the universal way to get your IMEI it SHOULD be equal to the one written under the battery):good:

If you have any problems please list them below and i will do my best to solve them

Hi

Yesterday i rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100m VIA The zergrush exploit.

I Tried to flash CWM Via Odin and it did not work!

My phone will not access recovery and when turned on normally says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

I have tried flashing the bootloader, kernel, CSC, modem, and firmware several times but they always fail!

I tried to follow this guide here and it also did not work!

I can not think of what else to do so i have posted this thread here!

Thanks

*EDIT*

This is what originally ****ed me up: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ckworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/

You need to install the Android SDK. This will install a program called "adb".

Plugin the phone to your computer, then turn it on and from the command prompt issue the following command: "adb reboot recovery".

Hi, I've been really keen to get a note 2 for all that stylus goodness, other phones are pretty much all the same now. I would need to mod it a bit to be happy though - I really want onscreen nav keys like the nexus so I can use the stylus.

I've seen some people saying that the space taken up by the buttons interferes with app layouts - is this only an issue with stock touchwiz apps like the launcher, which presumably is hardcoded to the stock size? I'll be using Nova or something anyway, but I'll definitely keep touch wiz apps that use the pen well. Has anyone got any experience with this?

Thanks!
