[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLockers:
Hi all,

In a bit of a pickle. I have flashed many phones, and this time I obviously didn't do enough homework.

What I did:

My S3 keeps losing data intermittently, so I thought having done this to a Razr, SGH-T809, G1, etc - I'd flash the latest OS - 4.2.2 (i9300xxufme7)

I downloaded Odin and installed CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300

I then used Odin and flashed i9300xxufme7

I then was happy as larry, at how simple the process was - however, it turns out I now have an IMEI of 00499 and no phone number.

I am on T-Mobile UK, however the phone was purchased through a reseller (Mobiles.co.uk) so I'm not sure if it's a T-mobile phone, or a vanilla S3 that they supplied. I have never tried a different Sim card in it. It may well be locked.

What I have tried to do:

Re-flash to the standard 4.1.2 image which I thought was I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_BTU (this is I believe the UK image) - no change

Used NV Read write - I put my phone in RNDIS + DM + MODEM but the device isn't recognised.

Just wondering what my options are at this point?

Thanks.

Darren.

As per thousands of identical posts .

Restore your backed up EFS folder .

Fail to backup EFS then its a paid for service centre job .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLockers:
Yeah, I have read this advice but I could only see it mentioned in posts from August - and since then found tools such as NV Read write, so wasn't sure if that was still the way.

I am going to try and flash TMU-I9300 to see if that will help in the first instance.

I also read that backing up the EFS folder is part of the installing ROM process by default, so could there be an EFS Backup made automatically?

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm surprised I never read the EFS backup procedure whilst doing my home work (for example, it's not written on the Sam mobile guide I followed).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Yes some custom roms backup if you choose EFS backup . It is EFSbackup tar file .

'm surprised I never read the EFS backup procedure whilst doing my home work (for example, it's not written on the Sam mobile guide I followed).

Its plastered all over the forum from week one .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLockers:
Okay so because I didn't flash a custom ROM per say, no efs backup would have occured?

And I didn't read from week 1, this phone is almost 2 years old - I read the most up to date information and a step by step guide on sam mobile. Hind sight is a great thing, you obviously have it in bundles!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well if we ignore retrospect for now and just concentrate on moving forward; you need to send for repair. I'm sure lessons have been learnt and efs backups taken before flashing next time
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
What firmware was on the phone before you flashed it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Sorry most upto date information is posted in the faqs and guides of which post one is the very latest .

efs | backup your efs | backup your efs | backup your efs | backup your efs | backup your

m surprised I never read the EFS backup procedure whilst doing my home work

I'm just trying to think what thread for non-root we could put this in...

How about.....

I fracked up my IMEI (palmface) What do I do now?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otto_di2:
I got this guide .....

Step 1) restore efs backup

Step 2) try reflash original rom

Step 3) if you were ever on mg4, ensure you stick with mg4 baseband

Step 4) send for repair

There's your guide.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
This is a simple AOSP rom that I'm maintaining for myself and sharing with the community.

Perfect Android is built with the idea of being simple and stable for your Android device.

Based off of Android Open Source Project code, features and fixes are introduced with each build.

If you are looking for something that is more feature developed I would suggest BAMF, CyanogenMOD, AOKP, or ParaniodAndroid, that offers more.

Feature list:

- Full Google experience

- Chrome browser

- Odexed System and Frameworks

- "Clear all" button on recent apps

- Option to remove persistant search bar in Launcher

- Reboot menu

- Power menu Screenshot

- Long press back to kill app

- Volume Button music controls

- Volume Button wake

- Fully customizable Power menu options, which include option to add or remove items

Instructions:

First time flashing device, or coming from another ROM?

Download the zip(s).

Optional: adb backup

Fastboot oem unlock > fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.

Wipe data & cache partitions of your device (required when coming from stock!).

Flash ROM.

ROM: Link

G-Apps (included): At this time there are no "official" g-apps available so I've included what you get stock.

Root (included)

Source: Link

Follow the above link for the complete source to make your own changes or to completely debug down to the core of the rom also follow my github for detailed changes.

Always remember that XDA started out as a great place and will remain a great place as long as we are great to each other anything used in this ROM is available upon request and feel free to use this as a base rom for any other project.

WANT TO CUSTOMIZE THIS ROM READ THIS:

Want to add or remove anything or customize for yourself use DSIXDA's Kitchen. Its a great kitchen for customizing prebuilt ROMs.

Jack! Welcome to the New Nexus 7!

Glad to see you here!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
Thank you. So how do you like the device
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
Loving it! How are you liking it?

I still have those tutorial links you sent me when you were going to help me build AOSP on Nexus 10. I am going to give them a try on Nexus 7 (Gen2). Thanks for the starting points...

Sorry to derail!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
I like it so far, and no problem about the tutorial links however some things have changed as far as what and where to get resources but I'll help out where I can.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakelights:
This is a perfect ROM indeed. This is what I'm looking for. Thanks :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakelights:
Can you include the aosp browser? please
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
I was going to compile it, but I figure that it can be found here so it was no need but I'll compile it and post it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
AOSP Browser posted in the OP for those that want it

edit:

it didn't work so will have to compile one myself
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
UPDATE

4.3.2:

- Update build to JSS15Q

- Added AOSP browser

http://d-h.st/frt
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] fidju:
It doesn't look like this ROM makes any huge changes from stock, is it definitely required to wipe data?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
That's the idea behind it to be built from source and good as stock, my features are minimal but yeah you'll need to wipe since Google signs there Roms differently than I do
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Lolento:
Have to say this is really the perfect rom. Very well thought put blend of features, performance and stability.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Dennis0201:

Have any one verified this ROM can work for Miracast (WiFi Display). I try both CM 10.2 and no luck, it is connected but no output on TV display.

Can I use this rom on LTE version? Sorry for noob question...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dictionary:
No
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
this doesn't give me enough information, also I connect to windows 7 just fine

Is there anybody else have this issue?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] seanwuk:
i dont know why either. i was able to connect to my pc on cleanROM, after installing the latest drivers. but yesterday when i connect the nexus 7 to pc, the adb can be recognized but not the storage. even after re-installing the driver or delete the device, i still could not connect to the PC.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kluster1999:
Try going to settings>storage>3 vertical dots in top right>USB computer connection>select one of the options

Just got this ROM flashed so far very nice so smooth but how do I mount my system? I was trying to uninstall some system apps but I get error
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
This rom isn't rooted it looks like the app you're wanting to use need it. The easier way to delete apps that you don't want is to do it prior to flashing by opening the zip in 7zip or something similar, but first you can try flashing root from the link in the op or the new superuser from koush.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kdkinc:
Is the "quiet time" feature that's in some Roms something that could be added ?

Thank You
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
no
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
That's a unique feature of CM10.x.x and I could add it but I think that feature should stay with its originator
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Itchiee:
Thank you for this ROM and the inclusion of the stock browser...

I much prefer this to the Chrome browser as the internet hasn't gotten the message that flash is dead... *cough*.

Although the bookmark sync portion is missing... I used the apk attached to add it back into:

Settings>Accounts>Google>Your G-Mail>Browser

Everything else seems the same and if others want to try then feel free.

[Source of APK] Credit to sbdags

Maybe OP can add it into the next revision, if not its cool....

Thanks buddy!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
will be added I kinda forgot about it ....

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
I'll look into it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] fidju:
Works fine for me.

Is there an update coming out that will include the recent OTA?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
yeah I will be updating the flo, but mako is a scrapped project now
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] gautam.malik:
Linaro Toolchain

Thanks for building the Pure AOSP rom. I was looking for such a no-fluff solution.

Would be possible to compile your rom with Linaro 4.8 toolchain? May be, you can upload both Roms - one with Linaro and another with AOSP toolchain (for purists).

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
The next version of this rom will be completely open source and I will be providing instructions on how to build, to answer your question I personally will not be looking into linaro as time has become limited for me, and I will not have time to properly support two different versions of the rom however if anyone wants to pick up this project as a linaro release I'm fine with that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
http://d-h.st/jQ3 for anyone to try out to see the direction the rom is going and yes I'm looking for feedback

you will need to install g-apps for this one
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Dennis0201:
Install the gapps with CM but it doesn't with this rom. Do you have any compatible gapps?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
install the same ones that you did with CM or any other package
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Dennis0201:
I did install the same one when I did with CM/AOKP, but it doesn't work with this ROM. Playstore doesn't exist and there are few apps error.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
link me to what you use also you should probably wipe everything if you haven't
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Dennis0201:
After full wipe and now gapps works fine. Do I have to full wipe every time in order to update in the future?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:
no for now .. when you update its just like any other rom ..... flash rom .... then flash gapps
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] fidju:
Does this contain the JSS15R update?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jakdillard:

[Shield General] jutley:
Does anyone know the sales figures for first day release and preorder sales cant be that bad if it says shipping in 1 week means no stock now so sales should be good.
[Shield General] glitchhawk:
i agree the sales must be doing pretty good since everywhere is backordered. either that or nvidia is letting out a slow and steady stream of them, unlike mass produced consoles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
I use the Google Play Music app to play music that's on my phone (as opposed to music that's in the cloud). If I put a standard extended m3u playlist on the phone, the app shows some of the songs in the wrong order.

Extensive detail of the problem is at http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/50425/wrong-playlist-order-in-google-play-music-app/50496

One person who posted there has the same problem.

Do others have the same issue? Any idea how to fix it or at least better diagnose why it's happening?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MCP1:
Yes, same problem here. Most songs keep in order but some don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlyingsCool:
It seems to be related to either the length of playlists, mistakes in the playlists, or the use of subfolders. It doesn't seem that fixing the play list fixes the sort order.

My playlists for albums all import fine. I think the largest album I have successfully copied over is about 24 files. The common thread for all these good playlists is that the playlist is in the same directory as the songs in the list.

But I do get playlists that are screwed up.

The latest was 65 songs long and had some mistakes in it (misspelled filenames). It also had songs from the folder I put the playlist in as well as songs from some subfolders. When I had fixed the mistakes, it still is misordered. I tried deleting the playlist from the phone, then deleting it from Play (it still listed the playlist as if it existed), then recopied it to the phone. I even tried deleting them and renaming the playlist to a new name and copying it back over. No joy. Funny thing is, it always imports in the same (incorrect) order.

There must be a memory leak in their m3u playlist file reader, I imagine related to reading subfolders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
In my case, playlists which play fine in other music players have problems in the Google app, so I doubt the problem is with the playlist. I've only tested long playlists, so that could be the cause.

I'm somewhat surprised Google hasn't fixed this. I've since moved to Shuttle music player, which does everything I want and doesn't have any issues with my playlists.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lojak29:
As im installing seeder and also Greenifying many battery hog apps, the thought ran across ..do I actually wanna greenify seeder, or should it be left to run .

Would hibernating it affect it on wakelock, Obviously you don't wana have to restart seeder every time you want to use it... but id like to just have it run when the device is being used.

So if I greenify it will that be ok or render that app useless?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThisThing:
First run Better Battery Stats and see if it's actually an issue. No point in greenifying it if it's not causing many wakelocks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lojak29:
Im not sure what im looking at in better batt stats or what it all means ..

All I know is this is my 3rd s4

And the only one of the 3 that has stupid bad battery life... my last two were stellar.

Its so bad its comparable to galaxy s2 batt life.

Should I unroot and odin stock??

Or get a new battery the phones only 2 days old.

I watch the percentage drain like a percent every 3 min.

I notice that the "bug" to do with the lockscreen wallpaper not changing has been removed from the first post. Does that mean it's now possible to change it or just that you don't consider it a bug as jatinrungta mentioned that ICS can't do it normally?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chetan180:
Can't wait. More please. Release. It. As soon as possible!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jatinrungta:

I got a bit confused, sorry, but yeah i consider it as a bug because when you change the theme of the phone the lockscreen wallpaper doesn't change, but you can still change it by going to Settings > Display > Lock Screen Settings > Wallpaper.
