So I went into that code changed it. But it didn't work. So I changed it back. Well now my home key doesn't work nor does haptic feedback. Notification keeps popping up in the notification bar and says choose input method. Please help. I've installed SwiftKey and wiped data for Android keyboard. I have also checked against another phone that is working fine the folders in usr/key layout.

First rule before you edit any system file is to make a backup...

Any way if you used rootexplorer to edit that file it should have made a backup on it's own so if you look in your folder there should be a file with .bak at the end,so,move it out of there so you can rename it (remove .bak) and just put it back,rootexplorer will ask or tell you theres already a file with that name and if you want to replace it,just hit yes,then reboot you device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shtiff1:
I did that but it didn't work. I think it changed another file. It seems that it wants to keep going back to an external hardware keyboard. The one that it changed was querty.kl. I'll send pics.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spanielgita:
Hello,

So bought my note 2 from amazon, international version, sim free.

So i rooted it and fired a custom firmware on it.

Decided i prefer having the functionality of the s pen and wanted to reinstall the original f/w.

So managed to get an original samsung firmware (BTU) csc.

All is well on it apart from my sim card does not work in it (no service).

works fine in my old phone still.

It doesn't allow me to update it over the air and kies is a nightmare.

So im stuck with a tablet at the moment that I cant update.

I think I may not have the correct original firmware but I dont know how to determine which one will work!

Any input would be appreciated....

Thanks

Dan
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat9v:
You seem to have stumbled upon the problem introduced by Samsung in their newest kernels (they are used in newer ROMs).

The kernels cause IMEI number to not be recognised after flashing old firmware once the new one was installed. The only recourse is to root again and flash back one of the newer roms (Phoenix, Omega or Android Revolution will do nicely) or try to find original Samsung firmware for your region, but it has to be one of DM6, DF1 or DG1 at the end of the name and flash it using Odin.

Look here and remember to match your phone model number as well as firmware region.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
I hope you've managed to keep a backup of the EFS partition. It's really important that you do.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spanielgita:
No I don't have a backup of the EFS partition.

What does that mean?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spanielgita:
Thanks so much, I am downloading phoenix now and I'll let you know if that works!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spanielgita:
OK that didn't work and now I don't have a baseband or imei?

I've attached some screenshots
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Efs partition is where your phones unique identifiers like imei are stored. If it gets damaged or wiped and you have no backup then your phone is a brick, pure and simple.

Try and Flash an official dme6 or dmf firmware as per above poster. If imei is still blank then your phone is a brick.

I don't know why there are so many how to root blogs on the Internet and none of them tell you how to back up efs or why it's critical. It's a complete tragedy.

I've had to restore imei once to save my gs3. Was very lucky I'd flashed an omega rom earlier and the aroma installer asked me if I'd like to do a backup and told me it's important. I heeded the developers advice and backed up said files to drop box. Now I always do it immediately after rooting - all custom recoveries give an option to back up efs.

I hope it's not too late, it's sad for people to have to learn the hard way, best of luck.

Ive just read that if you flash the latest modem you should be alright. The post to guide you on this is by Dr Ketan in the original android development section.

I dont think your phone is bricked I think if you flash the very latest modem you should be alright. Just remember when flashing anything to your phone you should always make a nandroid back up first and copy it to your pc just in case for safe keeping plus a copy of efs folder. I hope for your sake you can sort this. And remember to read thoroughly all instructions before anything else. Look here and click the read this first it should help you..

Could I just flash any of them? Even the Indian one?

I am in the UK.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
I'd suggest you backup your efs before trying anything else.

Does your baseband version display now?

If you've already had your baseband updated to the new versions then you can't use it with Perseus kernel. The new modems are interdependent to the new kernels and Perseus hasn't been updated in awhile.

If baseband is newer one then you need an up to date kernel and flashing a newer firmware will obviously address this.

You have nothing to lose at the moment your phone is a semi brick. I think by reading Dr Ketans guide you will be able to get that phone working again. I take no responsibility from the following link but I think you need to give it a go. If you havent backwd up your efs folder than this link may help you. Id say download this latest modem and recovery and again I take no responsibility for your device.

I am unsure of how to flash to modem.

Do i have to flash it when I am flashing the firmware?

Or after?

the new firmware has no imei details etc.

Not so good.

I did back up the efs
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearusa:
No just flash the modem only using odin.

I hope this should work for you.. your efs backup is no good at the moment as you have no imei to display..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spanielgita:
OK so i flashed the modem only and its not recognising my sim still

NO joy,

What to do now?

Throw the phone in the bin?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spanielgita:
Would it be worth going back to the 4.1.1 where my number and imei were present?

THEN flashing the modem?

Would it be 4.1.1 or 4.1.2?

Its a sim free uk note n7100.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doohickey:
XT907

rooted

unlocked

TWRP 2.5

Stock ROM 4.1.2 98.15.66

Thinking about taking the 98.18.78 OTA and keeping stock. Had a couple of ideas to keep root and keep TWRP.

Looking in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script from /cache/Blur_Version.98.15.66.XT907.Verizon.en.US.zip, the problem lines are:

# This breaks root
2863: set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0755, "/system/xbin");

# This breaks TWRP on reboot
2828: assert(package_extract_dir("recovery", "/system"));

So, looks like the options are

1. Edit the OTA .zip by

a. Adding to updater-script

set_perm(0, 0, 6755, "/system/xbin/su");

b. Include a script to move recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak (overwriting previous) and calling from updater-script.

c. Re-sign the zip and flash in TWRP.

-or-

2. Flash the OTA in TWRP, then manually edit /system/xbin/su permissions to 6755 and rename /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.bak before rebooting.

Questions are: Anyone tried either? After flashing a .zip in TWRP, can you return to the command line to do stuff before rebooting?

Thank you!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donslade:
That is interesting.

Is there any way to stop the checks for stock apps and install over them?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doohickey:
Not exactly. Most of the updates in the OTA are in the form of binary patches. These patches contain instructions to modify existing binaries, and only represent the changes to the files. That is why the OTA is only 50 MB, whereas a full copy of all the affected binaries would be much larger, as high as 600 MB.

For the patch to work, it has to affect the exact same binary that Moto/VZW used to generate the patch. This is why the OTA verifies the checksums of the files to be patched before performing the update.

I suppose you could remove some of the check (apply_patch_check) and apply (apply_patch) commands from the updater-script to ignore updates to bloatware.

Only known ways at the moment are either using the pay Remote unlocking sites such as www.imei-check.co.uk which costs you £20 at least.

The other way is to phone O2 customer services (if your on O2 contract) who will provide you with an unlock key but it costs £15 and takes up to 6 weeks.

there is a thread in this section, where people are trying to crack the phone for a free unlock tool but as of yet there is no "free" way.
