Hi guys, i have been using a ROOTED galaxy note 2 for quite some time now. my phone has been running on the jellybean 4.1.1 version, i decided to manually update to jellybean 4.1.2 with odin (through laptop) all went ok and i managed to upgrade properly. The problem i am having is that once i rebooted my phone (after update) i have been getting an error saying to insert my sim card....it will not recognize there is any simcard whatsoever. Also when i put thw sim card in another phone it works fine and i am able to receive texts etc. Can anyone please offer me some help as my phone is a massive part of my job (as i work on a client basis), and do not have the time to send my phone away for 2 weeks. Any insight would be awesome im up for trying anything. Thanks again! Kes

Hi guys i have just factory reset my phone, i did this by turning the phone on holding the up volume + home + power button, the screen had a picture of the green android guy. I clicked the factory reset and the clear cache options (using the up and down volume buttons). My phone has now restarted asif it was brand new out the box, yet the sim card is still not working (and yes i took the sim out for the reset, only put it back in after i did the initial setup). Have i done something wrong?? did i not do a full reset? could someone please help as i havnt had my work phone for a few days now and its getting harder to keep track of my clients. Any suggestions would be amazing, thanks a lot!

Ive factory reset my phone without the sdcard and sim, nothing has changed though, still getting the same error that there is no sim card. Flash again? so do another factory reset? if you read my last post, that was how i reset my phone, think it was a proper reset im not quite sure

Hi mate cheers for the reply, i liked how titanium backup literally backed up EVERYTHING, ive actually never used it as my backup app. Ive done the reset but still nothing, phone feels just as new, yet still wont pickup on my sim card :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopchev:
The latest rom modifies the efs folder (where your imei is stored) so only some modems can read it. For unknown reason kies or ota updates don't modify the efs, so the new rom can't use the efs info. The solution is to flash back to an older rom other than dme4/dme6. Your sim will be recognized. I advise you to backup your esf folder and to awlays ve a copy of it

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boymysterio29:
Dude first thing is check if your Imei is corrupt. Go to about device/status and if it starts with 0049, this means it's corrupt and without a backup Samsung are the only ones who can fix as they have to replace the motherboard. If it is corrupt you could try moving your efs to SD card and then rebooting and then moving it back.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearusa:
Check in about device/status scroll down to imei and check its the same as imei under your battery on inside of phone case.. if your imei starts 0049 in status then your efs has been modified by the new modem.. if your imei in status is the same as under the battery then we need to dig further.. just a reminder DO NOT POST YOUR IMEI ON PUBLIC FORUMS. the 0049 imei is a dummy generic imei and will not allow a connection.

I would like to apologize in advance if I posted in the wrong category (I think it's the right category). As the title says I have done a mega wipe with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) and completely removed the OS along with the System Recovery and everything. It is basically just the phone and nothing inside. When I plug it in the computer, my windows OS makes a sound signaling it detected a device but then nothing happens. I do see a red light turning on my Galaxy S3, I think it says it's charging. Tried accessing the recovery mode, but no luck.... So my question is...is there any way to reflash an OS? Thank you so much XDA!!

If you can get to download mode, you can use Odin to flash a rom. Why would you wipe the recovery partition?

You need some JTAG action.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zaky1:
Hi My friend this is happened for me b4 and this what I did

1- take your battery out for about 5 Minutes.

2- Download Odin and The firmware orginal no rooting no custom recovery ** I started with ICS from Samsung-update.com***

3- Start Odin Don't add firmware yet.

4- Put your phone in Download mode by holding Volum down+ home+power and when the screen come push volum up to go to download mode.

5- Now connect your phone to PC and Odin will see your phone on which com.

6- Now add the Firmware by clicking on PDA when it say ready just click start on odin.

7- You are back on orginal Rom ( No root or Custom recovery) and you can go from there.

Good Luck:cool:

IF I Help Hit Thank Botton

I can't even access the Download mode part :( , is there a thread that could point me in the right direction for JTAG? (wtv that is :S) Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
JTAG repair is done to your phone by an expert with special equipment. You would need to bring your phone to them or ship it off to be fixed. Google '(your city) Jtag repair' . No boot but still having a sound from connecting to PC is a good sign that your bootloader is corrupted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blaker13:
If the computer makes as noise when you plug it in, try for download mode... Even If the screen of the phone doesn't turn on try to connect and use Odin, sometimes Odin will pick it up...

Sorry but I don't know how to do it >.<

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
An apk is basically a zip, so simply extract the drawable-hdpi, drawable-xhdpi and drawable-xxhdpi to a folder and browse them, when you locate the images, edit them, then drag them back into the right folders in the apk using store as the compression method, and that's as much modding as you need to do for simple mods like this.

Then just copy the apk back to your Phone, copy permissions etc, done. Install another launcher first whenever you're editing one as a bad mod without a backup launcher can be a pita.

EDIT: See attachment for a modded Deodexed Home.apk with transparent dots.

Enviado desde mi C6603 usando Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Install another first, remove the stock one, install the modded one and that should do it. If it doesnt install like normal then you'll need to copy it to the system and change permissions etc. If you install the one I've uploaded wipe your dalvik cache.

...Sent from Zed
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] zack__1987:
I have to wipe the dalvik after or before? or both? Sorry for the mess but I brick and restore my phone recently and I'm so afraid T__T

Are you sure the deodex home.apk doesn't matter if I'm (I think) odex?

So:

1-Install for example nova launcher

2-erase (from where?) the home.apk

3-Explore with root manager and try to install the modded one

4-If problems installing change the permissions (how?)

5-wipe dalvik cache?

Thanks so much!
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Don't be afraid, you'll learn nothing that way. :cowboy: It shouldn't do so long as you wipe the dalvik.

1. Yes.

2. Use Titanium Backup or similar, alternatively you can just delete the apk from system/apps.

3. Yes

4. When replacing modded apks your permissions should look like this...

​

5. Either with an app like TB or in recovery. :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] zack__1987:
Thank you! Ok so I will try and then tell you how it's gone =)

Just in case everything wents wrong if I have a previous backup of the first home.apk with Titanium I could restore it and solved no?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Madala_ZA:
Hi. How can I solve the issue of filling the gap where the dots are when placing a widget at the top of the screen?

For example, if the dots are replaced by transparent PNGs and I place a HTC One clock widget at the top of the screen, then it won't sit right under the status bar, it will leave a small gap where the holes would be.

Check the gap on the screenshot below, transparent PNGs won't remove this gap.

I uninstalled the MyXperia.apk (0.0.A.0.40)

Renamed your home.apk to MyXperia.apk

Tried to install the new one you attached here (said the app is not installed)

So I copied the apk to sytem/apps

Now I pressed the home button and selected my xperia launcher

It bringed me to my normal desktop but the dots are already there

Did a Dalvik Cache clean task and it seems the same
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] kennethso168:
A easy way to have no desktop dots:Advanced Xperia Z launcher.

This is a modded version of the previous 4.1.2 launcher. No root is needed and just install this as an normal app. You can turn off the dots (screen indicator) in the launcher settings (note: you can also remove the 'gap'!). However the status bar and notification bar is NOT transparent, unlike the stock launcher on 4.2.2

I'm attempting to repair a bricked DX. Bootloader is 30.04. It apparently had the 621 update, and of course, that's the only SBF that flashes.

However, in RSD Lite, across several versions, it fails at "Switching to BP Pass through" I've tried on windows 8, as well as a VM for windows 7. Moto device manager has been left in charge of the drivers. I've even tried XP 32-bit in virtualbox

sbf_flash on linux doesn't touch the BP to my knowledge, so even though it says it successfullyl flashes, I go right back to bootloader.

In recovery, trying to flash the 621 Verizon Blur zip fails after "updating BP", with a status 0 error message for "cannot open /tmp/sideload/package.zip" or something to that effect. Recovery is stock.

Yup, I've tried flashing from 621 to 604 with no luck. Can't flash the 604-to-621 package because it's stock recovery and I'm right back at the bootloader anyways. Yes I've factory reset after flashing sbf/recovery, etc, with no luck

Sooooooo, is this thing hard bricked?
[Droid X General] otaku91:
It's been a while, but I remember having problems getting the process to work in Windows 7. I had to find an old Windows XP machine and it worked for me.

It may be worth trying to find a physical XP machine.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
try the 621 ezSBF

DX (MB810) ezSBF & Root 2.3.4/4.5.621
[Droid X General] tonglebeak:
When sbf_flash had no visible effects on my gentoo machine, I ran this iso in a VM and it still did not work. I'm thinking this is a hardware issue at this point. Updating BP fails from recovery's zip, and rsd lite fails at bp-passthrough mode no matter what I do, so it really looks like a hardware problem to me. I'm not sure what a physical xp machine will do that a vm couldn't.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
usually the "Switching to BP Pass through" error, is a windows driver error, not a phone hardware failure

but it can be a hardware failure

also which version of rsd lite tried 6.1.4

one way to check driver, right after you see Switching to BP Pass through, open windows device manager and look for

an unknown device or a yellow triangle in of a device, fix a bad/missing driver can be a little tricky

Start Motorola Driver Installer once again, and let it finish. Then ... head to Device Manager, find the Unknown device, and in its properties' Driver tab click Update driver…. It should now install normally.

or

burn the ezSBF iso file to a cd or usb, and boot pc from ezSBF boot disc, vm is not the same thing as the real thing, vm does not always work

moto updates only update, unlike some other android devices, the update only works if the older software is installed, and verified completely stock
[Droid X General] tonglebeak:
I've tried 4.7, 4.8, 5.7...regarding the device manager thing, I have never had to worry about an unknown device in dev manager. It always showed

"Motorola Flash Interface." during the bp passthrough. I've even gone as far as changing the driver to "Motorola BP Flash", etc during and before the flash with no change in results.

With the .zip update, it gets past the "verifying system" portion. It verifies, patches boot files, patches system files, then when it hits updating BP, it fails. If I decide to play with this again I will take a picture of the recovery screen.
[Droid X General] tonglebeak:
Is there a cwm sbf available so I can at least get adb
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
no there is not, because of the locked bootloader, the only way to access CWM is with a bootstrap app, which creates a boot hijack.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Jelly Bean 4.1.2

Problem:

Sometimes my WiFi turns itself on, i turn it off and stare at the screen couple seconds later it turns itself on without me touching the phone.

When at home and the WiFi is turned off it says "Connected to VirginMedia (my WiFi)" and makes my signal cut out (Internet signal E.G H+).

Its highly annoying, ive tried changing things in the WiFi advanced settings and the mobile data settings and it still continues to do this.

I have done the *#0011# and gone to WiFi and turned power saving move off and no change :\

I havent updated anything recently and its only just occured :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Amigo, "Sprint Connections Optimizer" is a system utility that Sprint jams in to their stock ROMs. You cannot remove it, all you can do is turn it off. I believe via Network Setting somewhere.

The theory behind the utility is that it checks what internet connections are available and picks the quickest one....the reality is that it wastes battery and does a terrible job at optimizing anything,
