[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SunShiner:
What did you. Havent looked at the vid so far, but it woud be nice to have a few more facts.

Did you tried to install a custom rom (modified Android-Software) or you are on the original Andrid Software? Since when you having the Probems?

No Service sounds like an EFS Problem, if you did a SW Change and it doesnt worked out well. Having no storage (if you mean ext. SD-Card) could be also a sign of a non proberly installation.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedadio:
Same here maybe efs as you have imei unknown
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unubtanium:
Agreed, looks like a fried efs partition. And that usually happenes after trying to flash an OLD ROM aftetr flashing a new one. As the new ROM does something to the EFS partition(i am not a dev so have not clue what) that makes it screwed when you try to flash old ROMS.

I would try to flash a new ROM again and see what happenes. And do search for invalid IMEI Note 2 and you will find ALOT of help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SunShiner:
If you did flash a new ROM and having these issues then, take your efs.img (which you should have backup after rooting your device on the official Android Software -> also called Stock Rom) copy it on a SD-Card, insert that card to your Note 2 and copy it to the SDCard0 folder (the internal storage), then do the following:

- Start in Recovery Mode

- wipe cache

- factory reset

- format /system (under adv. settings -> Storage...then you see it)

- flash the Rom again

- wipe cache

- wipe Dalvik Cache (under adv. settngs in Recovery)

- Reboot

Now check your IMMEI and your Service. IMMEI should be ok now and Service available and running. At least your SD-Card should be mounted now and available. I believe you tried to flash from a 4.1/4.2 System to a 4.3 System and you didn`t wiped the Dalvik-Cache, which is the System tree of Android, which got changed with Android 4.3. I think something went wrong in your installation, so this "tree" mght be corrupted. Be sure that you also install the right GAPPS (Google Services for Android 4.3, such as Google Play Store). You can flash it as .zip also over Recovery-Mode, after you flashed the ROM (Software).

If you didn`t save your EFS on any proberly running System before, you might get hard times recovering it.

thanks for trying helping me dude :) my IMEI / baseband version is UNKNOWN that is problem :crying: how can i repair my imei back ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibizadesert:
my internal storage is not available and i tried to copied stock rom to my Sd-card but when i do step by step (factory data reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache , fix permission) rom will not be installed :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibizadesert:
my imei is unknown too. any ideas ? did you know fix that ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SunShiner:
Did you a backup of your EFS?..... that's what your IMMEI needs.

If not, try to download Stock ROM from a Source you know and maybe the immei will be rebuild. I don't know much about how to rebuild immei without EFS. Only thing I know is that there are not much ways. It's pretty difficult.

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Which ROM and Kernel you flashed?

BTW try to copy the files to thr phone without SDCard available thru a USB Cable to your PC. The phone should appear in the explorer list then.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibizadesert:
i've flashed an old firmware and gone my imei. and now not available storage if i connect to PC storage is hidden.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SunShiner:
What you mean by old firmware? Like official firmware or modified (custom ROM)?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedadio:
Maybe you have flashed an n7100 rom? I know the n7105 stored nv data in a different way to the n7100 so a standard efs backup using cwm or twrp will not suffice
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fibreoptix:
The 7105 posts in this forum are mixed with the posts for problems with the 7100 hence the title "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 , N7105 " above

but the 7105 does have a different and way of storing data responsible for the correct operation of the IMEI and baseband along with other items

The backup programs provided by other members of the forums backup the efs partitions of the file system.... this is VITAL and allows user of the 7100 to restore their lost baseband and IMEI more easily than the on the 7105 Model.

It is possible to damage items in the NVram of the 7105 which can result in Baseband Unknown , IMEI unknown , lost of GPS functionality and also the loss of the internal storage file system making it appear as 0 bytes available which crashes applications as Android thinks there is no space on the emulated file system which presents its self as /storage/sdcard0 and other linked directories.

As a result of flashing the N7105 may users risk NVRAM corruption and may think they have a backup ... but they have no way of backing up the NVRAM only the EFS , as a result luck is the only thing between a phone with working IMEI , Baseband , GPS and internal storage becoming a tablet with WIFI only !!!!!

Their are some programs out on the net which claim to read and write the NVRAM such as QPST and NV-Reader Writer but Samsung use a modification to the

Qualcom message set which means that not all loacations are read and also writing the data back when a phone does have a corrupt NVRAM is a hit or miss affair.

the worst button on ODIN is the ERASE NVRAM button ..... if you have a 7105 model make sure you do NOT have this box ticked as it may not make you day a happy one !!!!

I would ask the Mods to separate the GT-N7105 posts into a separate forum as the 7100 and the 7105 share are lot but are different enough to make a big issue when people read posts on how to recover from

My BaseBand is UNKNOWN

My IMEI is UNKNOWN

My internal storage is 0Kb or doesnt mount properly as /Storage/sdcard0 ..../emulated/legacy etc

My GPS has stopped working

all of the above on the N7105 can point to a corruption of some data stored on the EMMC chip which we can call NVRAM within the device.

The 7100 is different as you have data in the /efs partition which MAY fix the problem

THE 7105 does NOT

As a result the 7105 at present has a good chance of taking a trip back to Samsung if you are unlucky enough to get a NVRAM problem...

Comments Please :
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedadio:
Am I right in thinking normal efs backups dont work with n7105?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fibreoptix:
The normal EFS backups do contain what is in the EFS directory which is mounted BUT

BUT the 7105 carries addition data in the NVRAM and this is NOT repeat NOT backed up by

the backup programs or utilities in the forums.

As a result if you loose the IMEI and the Baseband you may be lucky and just damaged the efs directory and have a backup

BUT their is a good chance you may not get back to a working phone from and EFS backup as damaged NVRAM will not be fixed

by restoring an EFS backup

so if you have a GT-N7105 and you have 0kb of internal storage

or /and Baseband Unknown

or /and IMEI Unknown

or /and GPS not working

then you may be in a suitation which nobody on the forums has really got into that is full restore of N7105 NVRAM

from scratch.

As this contains the IMEI then nobody is going to post their own backup for you to use

and the NV reader Writer or QPST or the Pro Qualcom reader tools are old and have read errors in them

If anyone has performed a full backup of N7105 NVRAM then erased it ,,,, then restored from backup

please let us know as nobody appears to have proved to have tested a NVram backup and restore cycle.

I am working on getting Ubuntu Touch up on Dell Streak 5.

I got it up to the point when it boots, but crashes surfaceflinger, drmserver, mediaserver, servicemanager right after start and I could use some help. So I decided to share what I have so far. :fingers-crossed:

You will need:

CWM recovery (StreakMod recovery won't do; I use ClockWork-6.0.1.2)

saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/

cm-10.1-20130818-UNOFFICIAL-streak.zip from https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BwLXYTrPyZc0YzFNQnlENjZQM1E&export=download

Flashing:

Reboot to recovery

Install cm-10.1-...-streak zip

Wipe user data / factory reset

Install saucy-preinstalled-touch zip (be patient - it takes A LOT of time)

You're done - reboot. Take a look at logcat.

DISCLAIMER

Please keep this thread technical.

Please restrain from praises - instead you can get me a beer (preferably of your own brew).

Please restrain from "this sucks and yo momma" comments - you will be quietly ignored.
[Streak 5 Android Development] giveen:
Part of the problem is the need for a proper CM10.1 port. You've probably seen that in the porting guide. Also the ICS binaries/proprietary files will probably help you. Try it from our ICS port or grab from a similiar device.

Also try going back to quantal, as saucy requires a flipped image (loads ubuntu first, then android parts)

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/monthly-04.1/

Also this really helped get my device to display

Step 5. Download http://d-h.st/eFQ

Step 5a. adb push libc-2.15.so /data/ubuntu/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc-2.15.so

Step 6. adb reboot

Don't forget to set up your DPI conf file.
[Streak 5 Android Development] smokku:
Is it really worth trying?

Assuming that it would work, it does not help me in getting saucy up, and running outdated release isn't really a goal. ;)

Could you please describe what is changed in your libc-2.15.so? (Or point me to a post explaining the change)
[Streak 5 Android Development] giveen:
A guy has patched it,

Also I used this guys gits as they were easier to do deal with than ubuntu's weird system of updating their junk. Just add these to your manifests

What is the nature of this patch?

Yeah. They really suck at sticking with Bazaar.

I have a pc with windows 8.1 on it but since I can't get the fastboot drivers to work(adb works though) I can't run the ruu on it. Beside that computer I have a mac and a linux pc. I understand you can extract the Rom.zip from the ruu and flash it through fastboot on a linux computer but will that update the hboot and firmware? I want to upgrade it so I can flash the newer roms out there. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If adb works, fastboot should work. You are in fastboot mode on the phone when you try aren't you?

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qingmui:
Yes, if you just couldn't get the fastboot to work, you could flash rom fastboot in linux. First, you need to open RUU.exe, and continue till see the image version. i.e from image: 3.18.xxx.7 to ....... Then, in windows 8 open task manager, and find ROM Update U....(in win7 is ARUWizard.) locate the file. you will find in the folder there is rom_01.zip and rom_02.zip. rom_01.zip is hboot only. you could flash that first. then flash rom_02.zip(you could skip it of cause) [SOME of the older RUU only have rom.zip]

keep in mind, is "not a safe" method to do so.

Best of Luck and Sucessful get RUU.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Use a windows VM. You'll need to remember to force the USB reconnection since during the ruu the phone reboots several times and if you don't reconnect it you risk bricking.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 4541696:
Yes. When I boot into fastboot mode the device comes up as malfunctioning and it says something about the device enumeration failing. When I type in fastboot devices no devices come up. Have installed HTC sync. Will that install HTC drivers on windows 8.1? Also how dangerous is it to flash rom_1.zip? Could it possibly brick my device?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Don't bother flashing that. the RUU is the only way to update properly, HBoot/firmwares and all.

What happens when you try to RUU on windows 8?

Did you try running the RUU while the phone is in fastboot mode?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 4541696:
When I am in the android OS the ruu brings up my device info but thinking that it will require fastboot to work I didn't try. When I boot into fastboot mode it gives the error 170. So I go to cmd and type in fastboot devices and it returns nothing just a blank list. A windows also pops up saying the device is malfunctioning and something about the device enumeration failing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lauterm:
My windows 8.1 64-bit does that too. I think I ended up using a different PC to RUU. I can't remember if I had fastboot working on 8 or not before I upgraded. I've tried different ports and cables. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers over and over.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 4541696:
Yeah I got the evaluation edition to test it out but I don't know if I'm going to buy a windows 7 liscence just to run an ruu. Maybe I will see if I can use my friends computer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
Can't run it in evaluation mode?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 4541696:
No since I can't get the fastboot drivers working
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Just use a windows 7 or xp virtual machine -_- it will take time to install and you'll need to force reconnect the USB connection but it will work just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tucanj:
What is the difference between flashing Rom_1.zip and Rom_2.zip compared to RUUing? For the sake of installing CM11 does it really matter? I'll have no alternative pc or virtual machine to RUU within the near future...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
To install cm you must run the proper 3.18 ruu exe program. It isn't the ROM component that's important, it's all the other parts that are required for aosp ROMs.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
How to find out if it works

Use File Explorer/ Root Explorer/Root Browser, and navigate to

/system/etc/init.d/

There you should find (among other things) s98system_tweak file. That indicates successful flashing of the mod.

The longer method to confirm success, requires executing some commands via Terminal Emulator. Explore these inside the hidden text bellow if you wish.

The way to validate success and effectiveness of this mod is checking on how often the Kernel writes to internal SD card. For one, android scheduler does not perform an immediate write operation when the app requests it. It rather waits till its buffer is full and then does the write. Secondly, given its solid state storage, it is extremely fast compared to your computer. So what we are doing here is modifying the Buffer size in accordance with your Ram. The more the ram, the bigger the buffer.

The third parameter, vfs_cache_pressure actually tells the kernel to favor File System Cache. So the ram will fill up for the File system cache, thus increasing application performance.

So to test, using Terminal Emulator, do the following Steps. Press Enter after each to execute them individually.

To enter superuser mode and then execute,

SU
sysctl -a | grep vm

You will get a screen like this.

​

You are looking for the values highlighted in the screen.

If your phone has 1GB Ram or less, you should see values like bellow,

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 10
vm.dirty_ratio = 20
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 50

Since Galaxy SIII has 2 GB Ram, you should expect to see values like this

dirty_background_ratio = 5
dirty_ratio = 10
vfs_cache_pressure = 50

With the phone screen off, you may use ADB to run the same commands.

su
sysctl -a | grep vm

ADB should get these values with the phone screen turned off.

For devices with 1GB RAM devices or below, you should see in the output,

dirty_background_ratio = 20
dirty_ratio = 40
vfs_cache_pressure = 100

For Galaxy S III, given it has 2 GB Ram, you should see,

dirty_background_ratio = 10
dirty_ratio = 20
vfs_cache_pressure = 100
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Q&A REGARDING THE MOD -

Please note, there are also following MODs compatible with Galaxy SIII, that I am aware of. However they differ from this mod. So I have given a short Summary of the distinction between those mods and this one.

1. How is this different from Crossbreeder ? So which Mod is better ?

Crossbreeder by @idcrisis is a mod that focuses on better implementation of DNS Catching and Parallalization of DNS queries. It also improves on tethering and blocks Ads. Last but not the least, it also modifies Entropy levels like Seeder.

What Thunderbolt does, is more on installed Apps and disk I/O improvement. So those two MODs can co-exist just fine and do not conflict or have overlapping functionality.

2. How is Thunderbolt different from V6 SuperCharger Mod by @zeppelinrox ?

V6 Supercharger focuses on invincibility of the Android Launcher. This could be any Launcher you are using as default. It also tweaks significantly to Android's Low Memory Management (AKA Low Memory Killer). This latter will significantly improve Multitasking capabilities.

As you see, this too is quiet different from what Thunderbolt does. So there is no overlap or competition per se. You can implement both at the same time.

2. How is Thunderbolt different from Operation Killjoy Mod by @Exit_Only ?

I am investigating the compatibility. Until then Unless noted, the two are not compatible with each other.

Note - If I have not mentioned a compatible Mod, then please let me know and I will be more than happy to post it here.

Do you have a lot of applications installed on your phone ? Also at what step did it get stuck at boot screen ?

Please note, as I said earlier in the thread, while executing boot up script, the phone may appear to be stuck at Boot screen but will eventually come back. It is very important to know at what step it got stuck at boot.
