Perfect

I cannot believe this worked, but it did.

I messed up somehow by trying to flash the wrong cwm.tar file (for i9305) I needed i9300 of course and odin stopped halfway and got stuck, i then pulled the cable out and everything got very messy,.. i kept getting lots of errors etc. i somehow managed to install an old cm11 rom which worked lovely. BUT I had no baseband, no imei, no network, no number, nothing, #*06# or whatever it is, wouldn't work. nothing.

I then started to figure out how the efs filesystem worked, then foundout kies has an emergency thing where i guess they look into there database what your imei was when the phone was built. this would not work because I was using a custom rom (i think) but then I stumbled upon this post. thank goodness!!!!!

It's just restarted and internet, signal, imei is back, baseband version is back. all in order.

however, i think i was also very lucky, but for those of you who are in the position i was in, but this doesn't work, I do think there are ways to get an old efs going again and modify it to your "should be" imei,

if anyone needs an IMEI, I can give you one from a phone i had stolen in vietnam, (not sure its even legal to give it out but whatever)

thank you

EFS recovery

WOW! This worked! I had been struggling for 3 months with my Note 2. Been flashing rom after rom and got stuck in boot cycle. Actually broke down and brought phone to a cell repair shop. She said it just needed a new battery. $50 later got my phone back. She had put stock AT&T rom on it but lo and behold, my sim card didn't work and my IMEI was null. I brought it back and she had it for a week and then said there was a hardware problem AND my USB port wasn't working and it would cost more to fix than it was worth, so she gave it back to me no charge. So I spent next months trying other roms. reading up on EFS folder, even learned some ADB stuff. To no avail. And BTW, my usb port seems to work fine. Finally this afternoon after Turkey Dinner, I stumbled across your forum message. And 15 minutes later I was downloading a repair and the son of a gun fixed everything. I verified it with a Sim card - perfect ! Apparently Samsung has a database of phone serial numbers and what IMEI code goes with them. Fanatastic! Thank you. I will be writing a serious neg review of that cell phone repair place soon.

I have tried the method posted in the thread ..... but EFS didn't recovered :( ........ so i decided to follow your procedure

like making empty EFS folder.... so how can i do that :confused: ...and if so will it work .....as someone here mentioned that Download firmware package doesn't contains any EFS contains :rolleyes: .... help me out :good:

I cant get past entering my model number,, I read it right from under the battery and it still keeps telling me to enter the model number. G550T1 doesnt change from G550T1 no matter how many times you type it... I give up.. If I could just get a twrp backup for mine I may be able to fix it. It's metropcs! flashing to the T-Mobile twrp backup by mistake thinking it was the metropcs one is what got me in this situation... Should have paid better attention...

UPDATE: It took my numbers and I'm trying it now, wish me luck
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdlman65:
Well I got it to take my model number and did the whole software thing. Everything is all back to stock but it didnt fix the problem.. Still no net work and says theres no sim card.

[HTC Wildfire S] Dr. Globbyglob:
okay could it be possible to s-off using the scripting in AAHK? maybe ask Hyuh (the guy who found eng hboots) to look for wfs's?)

The original page is here: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6

PS I MAY NO LONGER BE MAKING ROMS, JUST GIVING ADVICE AND HELP NOW, MAYBE MIGHT BRING OUT A FINAL ROM THOUGH...
[HTC Wildfire S] Dr. Globbyglob:
Also we could use a radio exploit thingy as well?
[HTC Wildfire S] Olivier:
Figure it out... ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
correct me if im wrong but is gfree not for emmc devices?

I'm not familiar with this, but I think you'll find an answer to your question in the S-OFF thread.

EDIT:

[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
although, just on the idea of s-off. can anyone remember why the htc wildfire s could not downgrade to the hboot 0.09 (i think) and use the radio 2nd zip to s-off? i have recently managed to get the htc wildfire buzz to downgrade to a nonhtcdev hboot, but not one that was below 1.01.0001. our lower hboot was 0.87.000 something. what was the lowest hboot the marvel could downgrade to?
[HTC Wildfire S] Kevinjoa:
1.30.0000
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
hmmm. and is their any other hboot between 1.30.0000 the 0.90 ?
[HTC Wildfire S] Kevinjoa:
1.1xx.xxxx sth I think .
[HTC Wildfire S] Dr. Globbyglob:
Oh... forgot about that. plus i think theres a hboot 1.02 for WFS
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
hmmm. i shall do my best to see if a downgrade is possible :) may have access to a wildfire s soon. and i own a xtc clip so i can s-0n again to test properly :)
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
Just a different thought here. on the topic of the way we were trying in the s-off thread to s-off using the patched bootloader, if we can boot the hboot from fastboot then could we not fastboot into a patched version of the diag.nbh?security checks wouldn't be needed as its being booted into by us and not the hboot its-self. then maybe we could patch it to believe that the "supersim" was attached and giving the ok to remove s-on?
[HTC Wildfire S] Dr. Globbyglob:
That could work :fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
Just a little sneak preview I've been working on for the past couple minutes.

Theme taken from [MENTION=3639124]thecoby[/MENTION] on his thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942309 , I've sent thecoby a PM requesting official permission to alter his theme on the basis that credit will be given here in this post as well as coded into the theme.

Basically, all I'm doing is resizing the images used in his theme and redoing the X and Y axis values in the ui.xml. All image work and structure are credited to thecoby. He did all the hard stuff :P

This is just a port. Not a creation. Please, go thank him (especially if he approves me to use it! Because if not, I really will recreate everything from scratch, which will increase the time I take to get this up and going by a week or more).

Should be done tonight/tomorrow-ish, pending thecoby's approval. No promises.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
Reserved for downloads/instructions

COMPLETED:

Button sizes resized

Basic layout resolution changed

90% of images are good to go now

TO DO:

Resize ALL the images!

Fix transparency that broke during some of my resizings.

Fix keyboard highlighting/layout (she way too big! She jus' canny handle 'er, Scotty!)

Modify layout on following pages:

Install (No buttons/source dir visible, the layout listing the folders is too big)

Backup (too much spacing when selecting the partitions to backup, reduce it to make room for buttons)

Set Backup Name (keyboard's too high, due to keyboard layout, only the "q" key is correct lol, cancel button overlapping text area, text area too low... no submit button????)

Restore (everything is in the header??? Dafuq happened here??)

Mount (selectors are all over the place! and the buttons way too high)

Mount USB Storage (USB icon not centered, Unmount button way too high)

Settings (Need less spacing between selections to allow for all buttons)

Screen Settings (Timeout slider too big, re-adjust)

About Theme (Things are way too large, going off the screen... need either line breaks or smaller font)

Advanced

Every sub-page in Advanced needs adjustment... things are just too big.)

Lockscreen still wonky and too big

Various other tweaks and UI issues

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ViSoR42:
Hi, I have tried to root new Nexus 7, but seems bricked it.

Now I can't turn it on. I see "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM 15)" in the devices list when tablet connected to the PC.

My steps to brick:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash TWRP

3. Boot to the bootloader using "adb reboot bootloader"

4. Select "Recovery Mode"

After this step I had android logo with red triangle. I have tried to exit this mode and pressed Up + Power for few seconds.

That's all.

Are there ant ways to resolve this issue?

I'm not in the USA and not sure that our service centers can help me in the nearest future. No warranty, tablet was bought from the private person, not in the shop.

I'm programmer and know what is soldering, so any solutions are acceptable.

I think with past devices when you get the qualcomm loader device it means either the bootloader is corrupted or the raw partitions are corrupted.

You can probably recover, but it would take some effort to figure out specifics.

I think I remember you can use qpst to do some diagnosis.

I recently picked up a Nook HD+ and I put verygreen's native emmc CM 10.1 on it and it runs absolutely awesome. I have this build cm-10.1-20130801-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip on it.

Last night I was at work and I was trying to tether it to my stock (rooted) Motorola Photon. I usually run android-wifi-tether to hook up my laptop for some wifi but the nook would not even see the wifi signal.

So I decided to give the bluetooth tether a try and aftr I paired them and ticked the check box on the nook to use it for an internet connection I was surfing away on 3G with no issues.

Well 4G is limited in my area (Sprint) but I only get it at work. So I sync up my nook to my phone and turn on 4G on my phone and while everything looks good I cannot get an internet connection on the Nook. Internet works just fine on my phone in 4G but nothing on the nook. If I turn 4G off the Nook connects to the internet just fine.

So odd...... does anyone have any ideas that can help?

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenG:
I don't mean to introduce any more trouble, but why not upgrade your version of CyanogenMod to CM 10.1.3 stable from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation&type=stable

The stable version should be capable of pairing bluetooth seamlessly; just ensure you install CM10.1.3 and NOT CM 10.2. If you install CM10.1.3, you'll be on the same version of Android, and you won't need to reinstall Gapps. Plus a few users stated that they ran into bluetooth pairing issues with CM10.2.1.

Of course, if you want to upgrade to CM10.2.1 you can do; it's your choice. If you do, make sure you install the correct Gapps version.

All the best. Please let us know if installing a stable build solves your problem. :)
