Hello guys,

I got messed up with my tablet :(

The IMEI is unknown now :(

My device is samsung galaxy note 10.1 n8000

Here's the chronology

1. I flashed my gadget with Gnabo rom v7

2. Then the network seemed unstable, in which it got disappeared and reappeared randomly.

3. I thought I should flash boeffla kernel, a custom kernel, then I flashed it

4. Network seemed stabilized

5. I left it over night, and in the morning the tablet lost its signal, in which it show "no SIM card inserted".

6. I restarted over and over, change the SIM card, nothing works

7. I remembered I haven't clean the kernel script before I flash the boeffla, so I think that was the cause.. Then I decided to clean the script via CWM With "sybr cleaning script" which I got from here on xda

8. Reboot the phone and voilaa! The IMEI Is unknown :(

9. No more "no SIM card inserted", just a blank signal on signal bar

10. I tried a way to restore the imei here on xda on thread "9 steps to repair imei", in which the methods is to backup efs folder manually, and then so on an on.

Now my tablet shows random transparent window in which shows some sort of tablet information

Here's the picture

Please help me I'm very frustrated :( :(

And please tell me it is still repairable :(

I'm messing with simple editing of stuff rom wise. Right now I'm trying to remove icons and list items under tw settings of certain roms to make the rom my own basically. I won't be releasing this, it is simply for me as a learning process.

The rom has mods baked into it but they are set in the settings menu. I would like to remove those menus and their icons from the settings menu, but I already know where the apk files that they link to are located at, I just do not know what file menus are in.

If someone could please direct me to the correct file or files to decompile and edit such as perhaps systemui or secsettings maybe, I'd be most greatful.

Try reflashing stockrom a .kdz or .zip. Try the original LG mobile support if it will work. Or if you want offline mode then

Look at your IMEI # then follow this link http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=REPLACETHISWITHYOURIMEI then download the KDZ

HTC Sensation XE with MIUI V5 ROM 4.8.1 always crashes every week

Hello there,

I'm having a trouble with my phone. I have HTC Sensation XE with MIUI V5 ROM 4.8.1 that always crashes every Friday.

at first, some of apps are stopped, and then "Unfortunately, process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" message will pop up and every time i tap "Ok" it will be back again and again.

I've tried every possible solution in this thread like disabling Download Manager, or anything. and sometimes i get "Unfortunately, android.process.acore has stopped". if that happens, i have to reset it and re-install the ROM.

it's so annoying. and it happened long before i upgrade to 4.8.1.

i'll go crazy if i have to reset the ROM every week

do you guys with HTC sensation and MIUI ROM experienced the same thing as me?

Can someone please help me?

I recently bough a Moto X, and ended up researching a lot about android, and got interested, so I picked up my cousins old galaxy 5 (gt-i5500b) and decided to install a new rom, so that my mom can use it (we really hate it's ui). So I managed to root it, and found a rom for it, (not sure if there's a big difference between 5500 and 5500b, I think the 5500b is just for Brasil, but anyway didn't want to risk installing a rom for i5500). So the instructions told me to install Clockworkmod, using odin, and then use recovery mode to install the rom. So, I found out how to install CWM, and while odin was doing it's thing, the recovery mode appear (just for additional information, odin was still not on "pass" when I started to mess with recovery mode). So, I started doing what the rom installing instruction wa telling me, which was, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and then install zip from memory card. And then I remember I hadn't saved the rom to the memory card (oops), so I waited til odin finished, and clicked on some type of reboot option on the rrecovery mode. So it started booting as usual, and then got stuck to the samsung screen. So I removed the battery and tried to press the buttons for recovery mode, but nothing happenned, and it remained stuck on the samsung screen again. I tried using odin again to it, but this time it didn't open the recovery mode. Right now it is on a screen with the picture of a computer, with a line linking it to a cellphone, and a ! in the middle of the line. What should I do? What caused this?

Please, someone help this noob.

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

okay, so I tried to make odin open the recovery mode on it again, and it worked, but what should I do now?
[General Questions and Answers] JoeBear1975:
Sounds like the ROM isn't compatible. Go to Samsung website & download stock ROM, boot back into download mode, install from odin & start over.

Receiving OTA Updates (Nexus 5)

Hi, I've done some research on why and how OTA updates work and I understand most parts of it. What I couldn't understand much and still finding the answer to is will I still receive any available OTA updates if I had done some modifications? (build.prop, uninstalled system apps that I do not use at all eg. Google Wallet. Etc.?) I did found out that I will not be able to update if ever any OTA arrives. But I'm still curious if I will be notified of any available OTA's. I did some searching and some said yes and some said no. I just need clarification. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] vx117:
1) Only the premium smartphones come with IR, most phones do not.

2) 2.1A shouldn't break the phone unless the charger is really bad quality. The voltage will be regulated inside of your device's charging port and it will be limited to whatever your device can handle.

You most likely won't be able to take the lollipop OTA if you modified your system in ANY way. This is a new change that was just implemented with lollipop. The notifications might still be there, but the update itself will fail. To take the OTA, you have to flash a stock system image. Unrooting will not help.

Are you trying to find out the exact model of your phone? The IMEI won't tell you much. It's like a serial number.

You could try fastboot and ADB with the command fastboot getvar all. The "modelid" is what you want. Though understand that while this command will work for most brands, not all will respond to that command. I know of one (forget brand/model) that the command was fastboot oem h.

Also, if you have a removable battery, the model is listed under that in most cases.

Also, please take the suggestions from [MENTION=5469613]JoeBear1975[/MENTION] with a grain of salt. He doesn't really know what he's doing, but he's probably learned a little bit by now judging from all the questions he posts on this "n00b" thread.

Do you know what brand it is? It would help me to find the proper fastboot command for a getvar.

If i need to update twrp, can I just flash the new version in twrp itself? Or do i need to do it with my computer?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
The absolute easiest way is to install TWRP Manager from the Play Store.

Open the menu, click update TWRP, done.
[General Questions and Answers] Geekazoid3000:
I did that but after installing my phone wouldnt boot into twrp at all, just a black screen.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Okay. Download it to your computer and rename it to "recovery.img", then place that in your fastboot folder.

Enter fastboot/ adb and use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

It's pretty easy.
[General Questions and Answers] Geekazoid3000:
If anything I'll go ahead and do that. Im just wondering if its possible to flash the recovery update from within twrp itself
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Not usually. The recovery file you download will be an IMG file, not a ZIP file. TWRP only flashes ZIPs.

You could flash it with terminal emulator though, but I've always used TWRP Manager, or ADB.
[General Questions and Answers] Geekazoid3000:
Its in a zip format, straight from the teamwin website
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Yes, but check your screenshot. The IMG file is what you will be flashing. What is your device? That would help me to answer more clearly.

It's a flawed system. Once you hit 100 posts, you are a senior member. The problem is, out of 100 posts, 90 to 95 of them were asking questions (some kinda stupid) and expecting people to hold your hand through every process.

Do you want to act like a senior member?

Don't answer questions until you know what you are saying. For example, telling someone that they can ID their phone to install stuff by getting the IMEI is WTF?

Stop asking so many questions, and do a little research on your own. Google is your friend.

I have no doubt that you will eventually be very adept about the whole modding and flashing world, but you are far from it at this point.

So...........Here's the next thing.

Hand holding has long been discouraged on this site, but seems to be getting to be a more regular occurrence.

It's time to stop. MAKE people do their own research after you've given them some guidance.

A bunch of n00bs with senior member status won't help anyone at all.
