[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Yeah, you need to make sure you have permissions to write to the folder.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamaradski:
Getting closer, but not yet there...

- Used another root browser

- managed to delete the EFS, but was not able to write anything in it.. :S

- Used Ktool to recover backup

- However did see that this recovery created another efs sub-folder...

- Re-packed the content from my efs backup file, in a new tar.gz with 7zip this time making sure no subfolder was present.

- restored with Ktool and after reboot atleast i'm out of the 'factory safemode'!!!

However still invalid EMEI :(

As i have XXDLID, i guess i have to get another modem in ?

EDIT:

Now the phone is out of the safemode, Kies was able to update the device to PDA: MG4 + CSC: MG3 (DBT)

After reboot, IMEI was recognized again and phone is working normally !! Thank you all.

Next step, see if i can still upgrade to 'Android Revolution 32.0', without touching the modem.

Thanks again all, sending me on the right track !!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffaxda:
Hey - I think I just spent the last 24 hours doing exactly what you did.. I got out of factory mode. But your last statement "Kies was able to update the device to PDA: MG4 + CSC: MG3 (DBT)" - what did you do exactly? oddly I have a UK phone (BTU) but it is registered in Germany so connects to Vodafone (if only the EMEI were not empty!). I came from flashing Ultimarom v14.0.1 and since then it will not do anything with the modem. So I have a phone that cannot phone...

Any pointers on what you did in the last sentence would be good!! I am getting desperate :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danihassanein:
Any news I am in the exact same boat. :(((
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffaxda:
Imei 004999901...

Nope. In fact i found an old laptop with an EFS backup on it (galaxy toolkit skipsoft) so i thought i was saved. I restored /efs or /factory and also efs partition but no matter what i do (even root explorer cut n paste the whole /efs folder from backup, or the 9 steps someone else logged) it always reboots with the dummy IMEI number. i have no clue how to progress. wondering if a samsung service repair is more expensive than a UART cable and box...:eek:

i think it comes back to the original comment by kamradski:

So in my understanding there are only a few options available to bring my device back to fully function:

1 - Bring it to a repairshop that had a z3x box to put the EMEI back in.

2 - Reset the flashcounter, stock FW and try claim warranty (though i doubt Samsung will fall for it), and what FW to put in ?

3 - Somehow inject the IMEI to the phone with some of the available tools like "NV-items_reader_writer" or "qpst"

An IMEI repair is relatively cheap .

[General Topics] superxx:
Hi,

Yes.

I'm using WB form WM5 a beta release they launched this week.

Have some problems, but if you read the forum, they are working hard to solve them.

Any feedback to the developers team (use the forum) is welcome and they thanks that.

Bye

As the title states, this thread was created for the sole purpose of discussion on CM 10.2 nightlies.

Discuss bugs, ask questions, discuss apps, describe your experience and anything else.

TWRP 2.6.x is confirmed to work for these nightlies.

Cwm 6.0.3.6 is confirmed thanks to polarbe4r

To those new or unaware :

So yesterday as of August 13th, CM has been releasing nightlies for Android 4.3.x for our D2tmo. Go to get.cm and click on D2tmo to download them.

Please don't forget to download the latest GAPPS for 4.3.0 from goo.im/gapps and keep in mind the latest GAPPS function only on the latest 4.3.0 current release.

My experience with it so far : I've had very bad run ins with CM on the d2tmo personally in the past. Audio bugs, bad battery, random bootloops occasionally. I would however like to report the nightlies seem stable, smooth and decent on battery. So far with the exception of Focal the New camera app, I have not noticed a problem, luckily the 4.3 AOSP camera is included in. I recommend sticking to stock kernel for the time being. I tried a couple of third party kernels and had some restarts and graphic bugs. So please, if you have tested the nightlies yet, please leave some feedback for the user and the developers.

Please use the following GAPPS for these 10.2 night lies :

Let's see if this upkeeps like I tried with cm10.1 lol.

Instagram video bug is still there. Anything else I should check for people? I'm on it all day and still no issues for actual phone and daily usage for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Just got a weird system crash when I'm on the market. I'll clear cache and report back.

Edit : Rebooted and it was gone actually. Weird haha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I thought Instagram released an update that solved this? I know I saw at least one person claim it did.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Just tested this on the most recent release of Instagram and he's right its not fixed. Forced close on front camera capture.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
It apparently allows you to choose a video in your gallery already or something, but no *not fixed. I don't play with instagram too much. Use it cause my sister uploads all my nieces pictures there and cause of a bet with a friend, that I won't get into lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DsturbD:
thanks for this thread, i will be here often :)

i had an issue with focal already though, both times with HDR turned on. once when moving the focus circle around it froze, then after taking a pic, the image went to gallery sideways and i tried turning the phone or scrolling the images, it froze again

i do not have this issue with 10.2 on my new Nexus 7
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Focal itself has been buggy for me on everything but yes, our phone included haha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PoLaRBe4r:
prepping my phone for the move to liquid smooth to cm10.2. I am doing a super wipe on it so i want to make sure everything is in order ;) be back with my comments soonish.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
I'll hopefully have enough time this weekend to fiddle with my phone and try whatever nightly is up at the time. One thing I'll say right now is that I'll setup everything like I have it right now. Might lose a few mods I recently got but no big deal, all reversible. I hope there's no problems restoring from 4.3 to a 4.2.2 CWM backup.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I had no issue last week restoring a 4.1.2 backup. You should be fine. I also have mine sent to external though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Seems pretty stable for me, no issues so far, but only flashed this afternoon. I'll update the nightlies and report any issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
You mean your backup is stored on an external SD card?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sswb27:
I had a screen of death while listening to play music and skipping a track with holding the volume up feature.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bentheexo:
Dirty Upgraded from Nightly 8-13 to Nightly 8-14. Upgraded Gapps as well. FC'd for the first reboot on Phone (Dialer was not present from 8-13).

Used all day on Dirty Upgrade without issue after a few reboots. Play Store could not update any software and Helium could not take a backup.

Got home and Clean installed 8-14 and Gapps. Zero problems after install on typical applications. Rebooted for Google to Restore Apps from Backup. File Manager can not display /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/emulated/legacy after enabling root mode. Had to use /mnt/shell/emulated/0 and /mnt/shell/emulated/legacy (Yes I know they are the same location, but just for thoroughness I used both).

Using Terminal Emulator you are able to see that /storage/emulated/legacy exists, but /storage/emulated/0 does not.

su
cd /storage/emulated
ls -a
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I move them there as i hate dealing with /0 folders lol.

And I'll test Play Music on my home tonight, I have poweramp but just to confirm for you. Are they stored on sdcard or are you streaming?

Further bugs

Slider shortcut will not stick to just say slider only no shortcuts. It always reverts back. Haven't found a fix yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sswb27:
I was streaming for a couple hours while at work but it only happened once. After the reboot it didn't do it again, so maybe it was a fluke.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
No such thing
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
You know what, I'll flash it tonight, will test until weekend if anything goes bad for me, otherwise will stay on it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PoLaRBe4r:
Anyone having any issues with root access after first install. Can't seem to get mine to run.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
For now it is a locator and remote wipe type of setup, maybe more later.

Are they turning CM into a business? If so, I'm really hoping it won't kill the environment of community and sharing. :(

Sent from my 2nd gen Nexus 7
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Not at all. They may have to pay server costs and maybe some workers and website design etc also they're working on simplifying the install process. It just sounds like Steve Kondik is still the same man he was years ago - - in it for the open source party. If he wanted to turn it into a business, he could have stayed at Samsung as a software engineer and pitched it to them. . It was purely for fun then, and it's purely for fun now I wouldn't worry about it too much man.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ckisgen:
I respectfully disagree and personally don't run CM anymore on either my phone or my tablet because of this kind of stuff..

https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z123dtujmqbiwrevm22ge5rxonrqe5g5b04

I have also seen multiple G+ posts recently of either Steve, Koush, or Baumann taking jabs at PA, CodefireX, MIUI, etc.

If I had more time or cared more I'd post more links.

Not trying to hijack thread or 'start' anything. Just thought some others might like to see the other side of the story for themselves.

I've been a long time CM user and supporter but I can't get down with what they're doing now.

I just finishes a clean install with no customer kernel to troubleshoot but this problem still exists...

When I'm listening to music and get a notification that has audio (like a text) the music softens like normal but then crackles and pops rhythmically a couple times, super annoying. Can anyone test this for me to see if its wide spread? I was using google music.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoustonsBirdman:
I just flashed Decimalman's 4.2/4.3/TW dkp - d2tmo kernel while at work today and TricksterMOD Pro from the playstore. Only thing I've used it for so far has been the Audio mod so the speaker is louder... Haven't messed with anything else cuz I'm just starting to try and learn about Kernels and whatnot. The audio is definitely louder and haven't had any problems with it so task #1 was a success :thumbup::D

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KoubaK:
I experienced a similar issue... I was actually using Cisco WebEx Meeting, speaker stopped and the sound began coming from my earpiece speaker (no, there was no way for my hand or face come close to the proximity sensor).

Also, major issues while recording video... phone will reboot itself whenever I press the stop button (super annoying during last night's concert :D ).

I'm using 20131007, should I update to 20131010?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WoodmanMN:
I would back up to your external SD, and do a complete wipe including data. I was having similar issues in my S3, so I used ti to backup data in apps I want to keep, did a nandroid, and wiped everything. Installed 10/11, gapps, and is running beautifully. No lags, no sound drops, no reboots, just pure goodness.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] silverton:
I'm on 10/09 and recorded approximately an hour and a half of video yesterday in 15-25 minute clips, no reboots.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KoubaK:
Thank you guys, will do as recommended and update to 10/10 (since I already downloaded that :cool: )

I was getting frustrated recording videos with apps such as Whatsapp and Instagram ... I tried the Camera app afterwards and the it kept on happening (the reboots).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jamesDF:
Just dived in and installed the latest on my phone. Since I had already rooted my phone, for some reason my phone did not run up the count number. Then again I upgraded to this ROM via Odin as well.

Seems to work great for me thus far.

I was playing music with G music player through Bluetooth, used track forward. Worked fine. Actually, Bluetooth works a lot better then Cm10.1 (4.2.2)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
About phone > build number > press it a lot > go back and find dev options in settings > and find root access give it apps and adb and should be good to go.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Derzicom:
Did a factory reset, formatted everything, but then couldn't mount to put install zips on.. Had to transfer them to a sd on a spare phone and then use that sd card.

The only problems so far are; I had to manually put in T-Mobile's APN to connect to my network and my keyboard became unresponsive on a txt message once
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SiNJiN76:
That's good to hear! About the bluetooth. I hated it when it would disconnect the media while at the gym. Having to restart phone a couple times to get it working again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
With 4.2.2 if the phone was in my pocket it would cut out and back in really fast, like it lost connection. Happed randomly, but today with 4.3 it worked just fine. And it turned off
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DsturbD:
don't forget, you should make sure your recovery is at the most recent version, twrp, cwm, whatever you use, make sure you have the latest, could resolve some issues.

running 8-14, no issues other than focal, using cwm touch 6.0.3.6
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WoodmanMN:
Just clean flashed 8/14, no issues this far.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skewty:
Clean flashed 8-14. Rebooted. It hung at Samsung SIII screen.

I am getting hung at the Samsung SIII screen on about 90% of my reboots. I have backed up using TWRP images that won't boot at gone back to them later and they do boot.

I thought something was wrong with my phone so I eventually restored a TW backup. It worked fine and reboots no problem.

Back to CM10.2 (full wipe using TWRP 2.5) and most reboots freeze.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
Where can I find the latest CWM? Mine is 6.0.3.1 I think.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Is that the latest recovery? If not update it, I use TWRP have no issues at all. Are you doing anything before these reboots occur did your reboots happen right after install. I don't have any reboots at all unless using focal or instagram.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skewty:
Wrong thread.

Try ROM Manager in Play Store.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

My phone sometimes plays a sound out of the blue. Today I figured out why. The magnet that is part of one of my cases causes the noise when it gets too close to the back of my phone. I disabled NFC and the problem is solved.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
Newest twrp is 2.6. Mine hung at welcome screen for like a minute. Buy ran fine after
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skewty:
I reflashed my recovery to 2.6 using GooManager from Play Store just in case I wasn't at the newest version.

I am scared to reboot. Perhaps I will for the next nightly. :)

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

I am not getting random reboots. I was doing them manually myself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I don't think that's a problem with the ROM. When I installed the APN function worked by default already. Though one weird thing did happen, I didn't have a baseband so I had to flash one.

Also guys, running GideonXs kernel and it's been fantastic. It's very smooth and stable. Going to be testing various parts of CM right now and report back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I'm telling you guys reodin and flash twrp in Odin. I have absolutely no issues at all. I used to though.

Battery is not great but it isn't that bad either that is your install process or something at idle last night I lost 12% with everything syncing and hspa on. That's not good but yours is insanely bad.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
My battery is actually good. The phone starts up insanely fast now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CountKrzysztof:
I'm having the same issue as skewty, where any reboot will hang at the Samsung splash screen. I've tried both full wipes and dirty flashes over CM10.1, and the same thing happens with the official nightlies, symlink's unofficial builds, and my own builds from source. I've tried flashing them from both internal and external storage. My CM10.1 nandroid has no issues though. The strange thing is, this only started happening about two, maybe three days ago. Before that, I had no issues with reboots.

Another oddity: after a few attempted reboots, when I go back to recovery (TWRP 2.6.0.0), about half the time it asks me for a password (I never set one),.. and I need to format the internal storage before I can flash another ROM or restore a nandroid.

I haven't tried a different recovery yet, but I don't know if that would have any effect. I'm stumped since this only started happening a couple days ago. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skewty:
I get the password prompt as well. I just cancel out of it. I am using a WIND Mobile T999v.
