I lost my IMEI ... appears my efs backup doesn't have my original one either. I don't know how long I've been running on a generic IMEI but I would like to fix it.

There are some YouTube vids that explain how to fix it on SG Captivate and SG2 but none for our phones. It involves hex editing a string of characters. I have the stock NV with IMEI from an AT&T phone (thx bubor) but the hex string will be different for Rogers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqLK_2I-SBM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881162

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to share their efs backup (nv_data.bin) and IMEI with me. The only reason I would need the IMEI is to cross reference another thread I saw that shows a potential way to inject the stock IMEI into the efs. if not, thats ok I understand. Obviously sharing the IMEI with me involves a degree of trust.

In the end, once I get mine restored i will create a good how-to.

I've already tried flashing back to rogers stock w/ Odin, restoring from backup, removing the.bak files and letting the phone re-create them but all to no avail.

I appreciate any help with this and thanks in advance.

You are wrong, I sent roger version.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
Thanks bubor.. i did check the backup and it has the generic imei in it too.. strange that the efs you sent me when i hex the nvdata it said it wass at&t.. when i have some time i will test with yours as shown in the video.. fingers crossed

Lost IMEI

Hi,

I have lost my IMEI as well. When i try to do a *#06# on the phone i get null/null in response. I have read everything that is available on this forum and others but have been unable to restore from the backup.tar.gz files i have. Could anyone kindly guide this noob here?

Thank You.

Yohan - were you able to restore the efs??

PS - I read that you have the nv_data.bin file for i927 at&t version. Could you kindly share it with me.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] clockwork58:
1. Turn phone off.

2. Remove back cover

3. Remove battery

4. Sticker with IMEI will be there.

[Just checked with my Rogers Glide]

might help with injecting it into another file or something.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
(smacks head)

dude, i have my imei however if you reviewed the video from the OP you'd see that the imei needs to be hexed back into the nvdata file - there's a specific order and since i only have one (my own imei .. from the label off the back of my phone and the box it came in ..) i can't differentiate if its correct and dont want to ruin things further.

Hi everyone,

I am a newbie on this forum (and with my phone too !).

Before posting, I have searched for the answer through

the forum, and I haven't found the answer.

So here is my problem:

I have a bluetooth headset (multiTooth from Freetop.net).

It works great without Bluetooth (automatic transfer

of the incoming and outgoing call to the headset)

but with Bluetooth Tools package, it doesn't work well

(no automatic tranfer, difficult to manually transfer the

call, etc...)

So what is the problem, you should ask ??

In BluetoothTools packages, two features are very interesting:

1. power-saving profiles

2. automatic switch-off and switch-on of bluetooth

Is there any other softwares which provide only these

two functions ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Regards

BLG

How To Add WiFiHotspot To The Notification Panel

Missing Hotspot Option In Settings

Those of you that have the Hotspot option missing in settings, use the instructions for adding the toggle. Only this time you are going to choose the secure table instead of system. Select * for everything or chameleon_tethereddata. If the value for chameleon_tethereddata is not 3 change it to 3. Reboot the phone and see if Hotspot is showing up now in settings.

If you can't edit the database on 4.3

If you can't edit the database on 4.3 download, install and run the TB Restore Fixer from playstore.

Got a report from tester is working under LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] quick99si:
4G works on odexed version. I installed via zip (not adb). Thank you very much.

Using WiFi Tether seems to break HotSpot until a reboot. AP is created but no internet passthrough.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LAYGO:
Is there another method of flashing this? I seem to remember a way of getting into another mode other than recovery where you could flash something via cmd? Does that apply here? After reading the current state of some of the recoveries, I'm not ready to flash them yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
I have put up an alternate install method in post 2 until we get a fully working CWM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] quick99si:
The CWM is fine for the purpose of flashing zipfiles like the modded HotSpot. It won't mess up your phone, and you can always flash the newer stable version when it comes out (or TWRP).

The 2nd post details the steps that you're probably referring to.

This seems strange....

So I used ODIN to push the CWM recovery, rebooted into revocery then installed the hotspotmod.

Then rebooted.

I cant find the hotspot menu anywhere... an I missing something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lafester:
that sounds familiar. the hotspot menu installs with the sprint apps once you activate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MedicWill:
Thank you,

Sorry for the rookie move, wont happen again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] VicFreeze:
Surprised by the lack of activity in this thread, as this is a huge bonus to have so soon, I guess I will drop in my input of my experience. First, of the two recoveries that are public, TWRP did not load properly for me (redraw issue as others have reported) so I used CWM. This recovery has a little issue not showing visual responses to every other navigation button press, but no big deal if you are aware of it. All functions work (backups, wipes, flashing of zips).

Since I originally rooted my device with the motochopper root method, I flashed CWM and installed the Odex zip. After a reboot, I had success with the hotspot, but my S4 seemed to run abnormally hot (hit 40C when normally well under 30C)...the warming of the device was independent of running the hotspot, as I only tested the hotspot for about 3 minutes. With no other assumption as to why, I decided that, due to the release of the Deodexed zip, I would move over to a clean install that version, as I intended to do eventually anyway.

After a full wipe and install of the Deodexed ROM zip, restoration of my Google accounts and apps via Titanium Backup, I installed the Deodexed hotspot hack and it works swimmingly as well.

All in all, both Odex and Deodex versions have been tested on my end with both the stock system after motochopper and the Deodexed zip. My random heating issue was possibly unrelated as I have not heard of anyone else with the issue...if someone has experienced this, please add it into the thread.

Just out of curiosity, I noticed in the skydrive file that you are adding a WiFlHotspot field.

Just want to be sure it's WiFlHotspot (lower case L) and not WiFiHotspot.

I noticed the screenshots show WiFiHotspot.

Thank you for the clarification.

With MF9 after moving files over with root explorer and reboot the phone is stuck in yellow Sprint screen, is this a known issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Imaginos:
Got the same thing. Fell back to MDL and upgraded to MF9 again. Applied the mod and yellow screen again. Hmm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
Read post 2 and confirm your build number.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
It's WiFi. Must be a typo. I will correct it. Thanks for pointing it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obender:
MF9 and odexed, got the binary for the same, the problem is as described
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
Are you downloading from the phone? If so try downloading to a computer and transferring to the phone. Also just to confirm you are on Sprint right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obender:
Yes, this is a Spring phone, and I got binaries from the web via PC and then to phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
Then it could be something going wrong in the file copy. I prefer the recovery installation method. Do you have any other mods installed? What rom are you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obender:
Stock ROM with CF Autoroot. Didn't want to install custom recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
Then it must be an installation issue. If your build number, and that is all that matters, says MF9 and you are stock that is the only option.

The only way it will hang is if you flashed the wrong file or it isn't installing successfully. Try downloading it from a different link just to make sure the server file isn't corrupt.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obender:
Can you post checksums for the files please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
MD5 is already in the OP. SHA1 is eeef0a3e493dab52c9b4950230dacfe081e53262. CRC32 is C24B68CC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Imaginos:
Ditto on the re-verification of the builds. Downloaded twice at two different locations and will do it a third time later just to test that old expression.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] VicFreeze:
I think the solution to this, if you have not found it yet, is to make sure your kernel has been updated. Had a brief issue with this going from MDC to MF9, but needed to manually update the kernel to get the wifi networks to be "remembered".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxnix:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HunterNIU:
Mine is running 11º F hotter with the update installed, even when hotspot is turned off. But it works great!

EDIT:

After about an hour it cooled back down to its usual 86º F and hasn't heated above that since. Fluke from install/running hard to update all apps after zip flash maybe?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Imaginos:
Well, third download was indeed the charm. Pulled it off of your skydrive and MD5 was a match. Did not yellow screen me on resart and works like a champ now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] steveoski111:
Hey got a question for you, i too was having the stuck at the yellow sprint screen issue and i just wanted to know how and where did you verify the MD5 number and than also which file did you download from the skydrive? I tried the mf9 hotspot mod three times and each time i got stuck at the yellow sprint screen and had to flash back to mdl and than re-update because i do not have custom recovery installed. I also dont have a custom rom and i know i can just flash a rom with it already built in but i just prefer to stay on the sock rom for awhile. if you could let me know i would be most appreciative!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elpesao23:
Do I need to root my galaxy s4 to get the hotspot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] steveoski111:
yes you sure do, just ue th CF-Auto root. it works really well and its really easy to use. you can search on here for the link to download it or i can upload it to skydrive for you if you cant find it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] elpesao23:
Thanks I willl do a search
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Imaginos:
This probably won't help you, but I run OpenSUSE at home. I use the built in commandline "md5sum <filename>". Not sure f there is a windows/mac freebie util out there, but gotta be something usable in the wild.

After the second time I goldbricked it, I went back to a clean, stock MDL. Next was the OTA upgrade to MF9. Then I autorooted. Finally, I took the freshly downloaded files (mf9-odexed) and used the root browser to copy the files in. Rebooted and,,, Praise Crawrj, it worked at last!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] steveoski111:
That's exactly what I did twice and it bricked each time.I am on stock so I think I need the odex files not the deoxed ones is this correct? Which files did you download off of the skydrive?

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

I got it too work using the odexed skydrive files and switching them with s root browser. I think either the files I read using was corrupt our I want giving it long enough after reloading it because it took right away! Now if I can just figure out how to change the phone call screen from Eddie to black.I stayed using ex dialer which is amazing but it doesn't change the call status screen when a call is connected but it it's an awesome dialer and I believe it was created by an xda member! Props to him
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
To rule it out I will verify the MD5 on androidfilehost when I get home. They have been having some issues so I'll make sure it didn't get corrupt. Since I know at least two of you had soft bricks until switching to skydive I will make that the primary link.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] steveoski111:
I had the same problem here is what I did too fix it. First download the files from the skydrive link in the OP. If your are stock than you need odex. Next. Wait a day or so after completing the upgrade to mf9 just to make sure it had a chance to settle. Might be a little overkill but this is how I got it working after getting stuck at yellow Sprint screen three Times. Than you use a root browser and overwrite the two files wait a few minutes and than reboot. This is what I did and it is working flawlessly after getting stuck in boot loop three times. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
