Please check your IMEI is correct if not restore your backed up EFS folder .

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

I'm sorry, , either you flashed it on Odin with "Clear EFS " box ticked, either you flashed firmware for wrong device. (Ex: i9000 for i9300. )

Anyway if you didn't backup EFS the only issue is Reparation Center.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
you might be able to restore service if you flash an MG4 or MG5 official rom through Odin. This is only if you previously used an MG4 or MG5 rom and then flashed some other rom which uses an older modem . read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2377731 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2393289
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't think it will work. :(

alexalghisi, can you go in Phone Information and check if you have baseband?

If no, warrently, no luck.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
In the black box the phone or modem is Mc2. This is an older modem than MG4. When a ROM that uses an MG4 Modem is flashed , it alters the files in the efs Folder making the folder unreadable for earlier firmwares. If OP had ever flashed an MG4 or MG5 ROM . than an MC2 ROM would not be able to read the EFS. as it can only be used by the newer firmware that can read it. If the folder has not been corrupted than it should work.

Once I solved this issue by flashing a custom rom.. but before it I took backup of efs.. :)

I bought an android phone as it is highly customisable and gives you freedom to mod which you dont get on any other os.
[General Questions and Answers] crshd:
I've wanted to make the switch for a while now. After my iPhone's screen (finally) busted after 4 years of use, I decided to use the opportunity to switch. iOS just made me feel too locked in, even jailbroken (which was always quite a pain - getting the right OS version, the right tools, making sure you don't update baseband - ugh), and I really hated the fact that the only way to sync it is via iTunes - terrible for a person like me, who spends most of their time in Linux.

I have to say, I couldn't be happier - I've actually been thinking about throwing other people's iPhones on the ground, so that they can join the fun :laugh:

I buy Android devices for:

1 Supported by many communities for trouble shooting, modding, feature additions

2 Supported by many manufactures Samsung, HTC, and more

3 Easy user interface.

4 Many run Linux wile still being a phone. I consider this to be the biggest reason as running Linux on my previous upgrades breaths new life and usefulness out of what would otherwise just collect dust or be trashed. I could go on for days on this alone and have, check the sig to see how many days I've gone on and on about it...

[General Questions and Answers] lonestrider:
I was using Galaxy Mini, cheap Android phone - just because it's cheap.

Now I'm using Galaxy Nexus because I think Galaxy Mini is amazing (because of Android) and it's lack of speed and screen size. That's why I upgrade to a better phone in terms of spec.

Other than that, iOS is way too expensive. While Windows Phone is really looks like a new baby in mobile software. Too risky to use that environment, even if I really want to try.

Didn't know much about Android, had a iPhone 3GS and got over their hacking scene. Never paid for an app on the iPhone at all! Was interested to try out Android, saw a refurbished SGS2 on AT&T for 10 bucks, decided to get it because that was only 10 dollars and if I didn't like it, I would go back to my iPhone. Ended up loving it because it was basically like a computer, I was able to download things off of websites, unlike the iPhone, and do whatever I wanted with it.

First started off with launchers, for customization, then checked out the hacker scene and learned about flashing and all that good stuff. This tough SGS2 had been kicking strong! Is time for an upgrade though LOL.

Its AMAZING. At first I was all about the iPhone. My brother gave me his old iPhone 3gs last year and at first I was so excited. I mean I had an "iPhone". However, beyond the Apple logo in the back, there was nothing mystical about it. In a sense it was boring. After I jailbroke it . . . there wasn't much to mess with. The battery was also shoddy, I'm talking 1 hour battery life. Its not like I could just take off the back and put another one in either. I was like, noooooo, lol. So I was looking for a cheap replacement phone. I decided to get the HTC Aria, small and cute. I was taken with the OS, it was so different. Then I learned about rooting, roms, and all of that amazing stuff! That's what kept me with Android. I could change my phone on the daily! After my Aria died out on me I got the Pantech Burst, a great and cheap phone. Then I got my Note :3 Android is diverse and just great. The community here on XDA is helpful, and really funny sometimes too :) I love Android!!!

When I first got my android device, Samsung Galaxy 5, I didn't know what a great platform Android is, but I heard that android has some 3d games (I was just a child back in 2010) . As soon as I started to discover my device, I noticed some great thing called CyanogenMod 7.1 . As I installed it, I noticed a Terminal Emulator app, which opened my eyes : android is based on Linux . Since then, my knowledge about android and Linux has greatly increased.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lvazure:
I've searched the forums of XDA and I've scoured the internet via google search and found nothing pertinent to my situation so I hope you guys can help! It seems I've hard-bricked my month-old HTC One. :eek: Never dropped it or got it wet.. Never even rooted or unlocked the bootloader.. it's completely stock. (I've been waiting very patiently for that 4.2.2 update to roll out for AT&T)

It just went completely dead earlier tonight as I was browsing the Play Store. I've tried to perform a reset by pressing the power button and down volume, but even after a full 60 seconds.. nothing. I've plugged it in the wall and no light comes up in the speaker grill. I've plugged it into my computer and nothing shows up. :confused:

Is there any way to fix this through ADB? Is there way to recover my data using ADB or some data recovery program on PC (or Linux)? Or is my best option to just take it back to the AT&T store and start anew? Thank you for your time/help XDA peeps!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] leesumm:
Does any lights on the buttons come on ? Will the red light in the speaker grill come on connected to the charger?

I have read somewhere if you put the phone under bright lights then try to boot into the bootloader it will work, Sounds crazy I know but it works for some. Past experience on the HTC is if the battery is super low , like down to 30 % or less it wont come on. Have you tried to connect to a charger and leave it for a few hours then try ?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lvazure:
Nope, nothing.. No lights in the speaker grill at all when plugged in. I came across that light sensor trick and held my phone a foot away from vanity lights in the bathroom (should be bright enough right?) and tried to boot into the bootloader.. nothing. My battery was at about 60% when it did this last night. I tweeted HTCUSA and they told me to do a similar thing (put it on wall charger for a couple hours) and yep still nothing. :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] leesumm:
I know this sounds stupid, but is the cable good ? The one that came with the phone and charger? Have you tried other cables? Do you have adb set up right on the PC? Tried any adb commands to boot to bootloader? Last resort I can come up with. Have you run an RUU for your model and carrier?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] odie145:
same prob as OP

this same thing is what i am having a problem with this is the second time it has happened to me the first time it froze and i held the power button to turn it off and after about 10 min of holding various button combos it finally came on after holding the power button for a good 5 min.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] leesumm:
Usually for the HTC ( well my experience). Holding the power button with the volume down button at the same time for an extended time, the lights at the bottom will flash for about 13 times continue holding the volume down button and release the power button. It should boot into the bootloader. From there, reboot, boot recovery or boot fastboot. IF this doesn't work, I have read in the posts here to hold the sensors under bright light and do the power down and volume down . If just rebooting the phone only hold the power button down. The lights on the bottom will still flash about 13 times and the phone will vibrate then release the button and it should reboot.

If the adb is working there is a mod called Regaw ModRebooter, which when installed sits quietly on the task bar or hidden icons. Just clicking will reboot to bootloader, recovery or reboot or power off the phone. I find this easier than using the buttons or just use ADB commands. Phone must be plugged in to PC to work though
