[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerthos:
I've been trying to backup my EFS folder from my US Cellular GS3 (SCH-R530U) with very little luck. A couple hours of searching has pretty much everybody recommending the use of EFS Professional, so I grabbed that (release version 2.0.26), Problem is that it crashes after initializing the ADB server, hitting me with event name "CLR20r3". Searches to troubleshoot that error suggest that I check to make sure my .NET Framework is up-to-date and that I don't have any other ADB processes running in the background. Both of those have been done; error still pops up.

As-of-yet the phone is unrooted; I've been trying to backup the EFS before I begin a root and subsequent flash to AOKP (for starters). Does an unrooted R530U have issues backing up the EFS folder? Any ideas on how to fix the error EFS Pro is hitting me with, or alternative EFS backup options?

Many thanks in advance.

Download HC-ktool from market the easys way to backup efs. But u have to be Rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
I'd suggest a start from some modern recovery f.e. PhilZ Touch or CWM 6.0.3, both of them have very nice feature of making a backup, including your /efs folder. Then you can flash original stock recovery if you wish or simply flash any ROM you want because custom recovery is everything you need.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraliup:
Hi! I have little questions... :) :) :)

1) I think is a stupid one: if I root my phone, can I install updates normally, or I have to flash them in a strange way (CMW recovery) ?

2) And if the answer is "yes", I have to do again and again the root's process (every time I do an update)? It means that every update does a sort of "unroot"..

3) And last question, it is not important, but I want to root my phone because I want to install this app that needs root.. i think is not very useful, but is great

Do you know apps that are very useful, and it need root permissions to work? (if I have to root my device only for 1 app, I won't do! )

suggest me please! :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
1) you can flash new firmwares with Flashtool

2) yes, you need to repeat the rooting procedure

3) bucketloads of them, my favs are Titanium Backup (great for backing up apps) and Paragon NTFS (can read NTFS drives, including disks connected to OTG)

And why is rooting the phone for 1 app a problem? If you want to use that one app, go for it. Not to mention that with rooting you can remove bloatware or unnecessary system apps :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowboy23:
You can also just flash a stock ROM without rooting, which will get rid of bloatware.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondCh:
1)it should look for your bootloader(BL) is locked or unlocked ,if your BL is locked ,you can update normally via PCC or SUS

otherwise you can't update normally and you have to flash new firmewares

2)yes ,you have to root again after update your phone

3) LMT will ask your root permission ,if you are not rooted ,LMT will work with Home function

ONLY

,so root is needed to run LMT perfectly

i'm using LMT too ,same reason i choose to root my phone ,CAUTION that you don't unlock your BL ,because you will lost warranty and BE2 ,so be aware of

your BL.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Htc Pirate:
I am facing a very peculiar issue that makes my mobile internet dysfunctional. Whenever I switch from 2G/3G to WiFi and then switch back to 2G/3G from WiFi, the internet refuses to work unless I restart my phone. Once, the phone is restarted, it works like a charm again till the time I switch to WiFi again. Sometimes though, 2G/3G would not work even if I do not switch to WiFi. Also, rarely, it still may work even as I switch back from WiFi to 2G/3G. This issue has plagued me since a long time and is sometimes accompanied by call drops.

I took my phone to a Samsung Service centre but it wasn't of any use. They do nothing except reflashing the stock rom. It did fix the problem for a while but in an hour or in a day(or in some random time duration) the problem resurfaced. I took my phone to the service centre, just to get this problem fixed. I have tried switching between different modes in settings: GSM/WCDMA/auto etc

I also tried contacting my mobile carrier and got my sim card changed. Therefore, the mobile carrier is not at fault (Internet works flawlessly after I restart, remember?). How do I fix this? It is really irritating to restart the phone every time I need to use the internet. Please help! :-/
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedadio:

Tested replacement phone today and the problem seems to be gone. The signal was actually stronger than all my previous phones.

This issue could be a hardware problem as from what I have searched on the net it seams to affect only a few people. I just hope if I root the phone the problems don't come back.

Maybe you could try send it away for repair if they won't replace it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] essense:
Looks like I spoke too soon. The issues are still there. While waiting for my replacement phone I was using an old HTC wildfire and had no issues with the data connection so it must be an issue with this model.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philhyde:
I've seen this question pop up a lot, but I thought I would see if any Nexus 4 users are having a problem on 4.2.2.

I participate in a group SMS chat with 5 other people. Everyone is an iPhone user, except one person who is on a Blackberry. The text messages from the Blackberry user show up on my N4 as individual texts to me, not in the group message.

The only way I've gotten this working is by installed a 3rd party app called GO SMS Pro. Since installing that, the Blackberry user texts now show up in the group message on both applications (stock and 3rd party).

From everything I have read online about SMS and MMS, this would seem to be a problem with the Blackberry user's texts, and iPhone is just handling it better than Android.

I would really like for this to just work in the stock app. For now it is, but I don't like that it just magically started working after installing the 3rd party app.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jmeas:
I tried to downgrade to an older stock rom, but after flashing I couldn't delete the cache since the power button does not work in recovery mode either. As a result, I wasn't able to set up the new rom because the Google apps continuously crashed effectively preventing it. Eventually, I was forced to use my jig to enter download mode in order to re-flash the original troublesome rom just to at least have a working phone discounting the power button. I do not believe this is a hardware issue due to the fact that the button was working prior to the upgrade, and received no trauma afterward.

I have spent numerous hours searching these forums for hints as to what the problem might be, but I have had no luck and only found band-aid key remapping fixes. Can anyone offer any insight as to what the problem might be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
The only thing I can think of would be to take apart the rear shell and see if the power button works without the plastic clicker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jmeas:
I considered doing that, but I don't think I have a tool that is appropriate for wedging between the front and the back of phone without damaging it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
You can just use a credit card. Just make sure whatever you use is plastic to avoid scratches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KeiranSolaris:
This guy has a good video for how to disassemble the phone. FYI a plastic butter knife works great for taking the cover off.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65pvAINg2ME

If you find that the button won't work even after taking it apart (that's what happened to my wife's phone) this place will do a repair for $40.

http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-at-t-power-button-repair/

Personally I didn't really see the point in spending $40 for a repair when I could just root it and throw AOKP on it and enable the option to wake the phone with the volume rocker. Only issue I ran into is that the stock kernel's CWM wasn't touch enabled so needed to put AJK's on it first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jmeas:
Thank you for the guide.

Part of the problem was that I can't wipe the cache after flashing a different rom since the power button doesn't work even in recovery mode. I finally had a chance to open it up a few days ago and even pressing the button without the cover on did nothing. It seems that the button failing after the update was HUGELY coincidental because it now inexplicably work, although not perfectly. It seems that it is a hardware issue after all, so I may attempt to fix it if I have time. .

[HTC One X] ULAMSS5:
I've quite a few questions regarding hboot and base versions, and would very much like some teachings from the community.

Recently, I've been quite confused regarding the hboot version(like 1.26) and rom "base" version(like 3.18.xxxxx)

With the ICS>JB update, it appeared that you must get the official OTA first in order to flash JB Roms, is it because the OTA also updated the hboot version?

If that's the case, are rom "base"s inherently restricted to certain hboot versions?

Are those ICS>JB OTAs a rare thing? Meaning that in most cases the only thing OTA-ed is a ROM/kernel itself, and nothing else? Will it benefit me to, say, go back to stock, get the official OTA for 3.19, then root/unlock bootloader again to flash new/upcoming 3.19 ROMs?

I know it's quite a few questions, but I would really be grateful for any answers! Thank you all in advance :)
[HTC One X] TwinAdk:
I will give back what this community though me :)

I know some ota's update the hboot version, but not all. Hboot can be updated via RRU's too. The rru must (!!) match your cid (carrier id). There are plenty information on this.

What do you mean by rom base? Some custom Roms require a hboot version higher than x. Ice cold jelly (past version 2.5 I think) cannot run on hboot version 1.28 or lower. Why in details I don't know. I imagine it's like installing Adobe master collection on windows 98..

Kind Regards

TwinAdk

- Via the premium XDA app
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Thanks TwinAdk, I'll add a little someting if you don't mind :)

Not necessarily ROMs, but kernels. The base version of the kernel source (0.99, 1.29, 3.14, etc, etc) is the key.

If your kernel is based on 3.14 for example, you need hboot higher or equal to 1.28.

Depends on your phone's CID... is it carrier branded?

If you are on 3.14 base already and provided that you use custom ROMs, upgrading would not benefit at all because it won't update the firmware (hboot) You can flash 3.19-based ROMs on 3.14-based phone no problem.
[HTC One X] ULAMSS5:
Thanks guys, you've pretty much answered all my questions so easily-understandably(if there's such a word) :)

TToivanen, about the ICS>JB OTAs, I was actually referring to OTAs whereby hboots are updated as well. Does this like usually only happen when there's a name-change update , like Gingerbread>ICS, ICS>JB, or JB>KLP? Or are there no fixed patterns and any random version updates could also have hboot updates?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
There was a hboot update in the following versions of Android:

4.0.3 > 4.0.4 (mainver 2.17)

4.0.4 > 4.1.1 (mainver 3.14)

The latest OTAs 3.18 and 3.18 did not update hboot so you'll have to wait till KLP to get an update.

Of course you can update the hboot in methods other than OTA if you wish.

Hello!

I got this phone with a ginerbread rom , i think ... but there was that messege that was annoying it asked me to update because the files are already downloaded i was like oh ok no problem and boom it got updated to 4.0.4 , and my bro's downloaded games through play store gave me some annoying ad's and they were popping like every min so i wiped my phone (Through settings) and the phone booted normally , even though i read alot about how the wiping is affecting the emmc chip and triggers a bug named the emmc brick bug , it also says that if u wiped through settings your phone is gonna brick and i didn't brick! Im currently thinking that if i flashed a firmware now , my phone's dead. and no , the phone is working fine with no lags i watched HD movies and played GTA VC and battery life is kinda good (stays 1day with some texting on wifi) ...

Wiping isn't a problem if you are not rooted. At least that's what I read. And judging from what you wrote your phone wasn't. And regarding flashing new kernel, most of the kernel now a days have disabled the bug casting emmc brick. But always a good idea to read through the forum first.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
It's totally wrong

Wiping and bricking has nothing to do with root.

Wiping cause brick if you have stock kernel, irrespective of your device is rooted or not.

Though every wiping doesn't end in brick. It may varies from 1 in 1 to 1in hundred. So once you escape from bricking while wiping doesn't mean it never, you never know on which wipe you will get brick, so just stay away from wiping if your kernel is not emmc erase cap disabled.
