Well, This is the Q&A section. Anyways, I didn't make a backup of EFS. I tried flashing stock as mentioned in the OP but it didn't prevail so what should be the next line of action? xD
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Hah! Sorry, my browser took me back to q&a from general.

Does the IMEI match?

If not then you need a repair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taimur Akmal:
I am currently back to flashing another stock firmware so didn't check. If it doesn't match then what sort of repair would it need? :eek:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taimur Akmal:
Thanks for the header.

For anyone who finds this thread.

Problem: /efs partition format changed

The latest 4.1.2 UK (XXEMG4) and India (XXEMG5) ROM releases (Which come with MG4 and MG2 basebands respectively), actually change the format of efs.

If you have flashed a, XXEMG4/5 ROM at any point, you are now in a situation whereby only an MG4/2 baseband can read the IMEI in /efs. The new efs format is not backwards compatible with older basebands. Probably, all new basebands will be compatible so in time this issue should diminish I expect.

If you have ever flashed XXEMG4/5 ROM, to keep your IMEI working, you must:

Stay with the basebands MG4/2. You may flash other ROMs but must return to the MG4/2 baseband.

Restore your efs backup (taken before XXEMG4/5 ROM install) to use older basebands.

Please note, it is flashing the ROM that alters efs format, not the basebands themselves. You can flash the MG4 or 2 baseband safely on their own and return to an older baseband without issue.

You can download an MG2/4 baseband package HERE

Aroma installer, choose between MG2 and MG4 basebands

Basebands alone do not alter efs format

Backs up EFS in an uncompressed format (Use Root Explorer to restore)

Does NOT include RIL, works on AOSP and Sammy

In Same Situation.. is there any solution??? your given link not working any more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taimur Akmal:
Try installing the latest Galaxy S3 official firmware. It should fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrduGeek:
NO it didn't work as i installed the latest firmware through odin, and then get OTA as well but it didnt solve the issue, then i installed the MK6 BTU firmware but it didnt work as well.

tired of installing the ROM's and Patches but non of them worked, is there any posibility to get it in working condition or should i use it as IPOD???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Take it to a repair centre and pay them to recode it, make sure it works on 4.3 firmware before you pay them.

Patches are a work around for modified efs problems, a corrupt or wiped efs can only be solved by professional repair.

if you ave a Hermes Read this

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock

I updated xda2unlock, to now be able to unlock all htc pda models since the xda2: the himalaya, magician, blueangel, and alpine.

HOW TO USE:

copy it to your phone, and run it.

some diagnostic output will be in the file \xdadev_all_unlock.log

if it gives an error, try resetting, and running it again.

if for some reason your phone is suddenly locked, the unlock code will probably be '00000000'

no coldboot required.

model numbers supported:

himalaya: PH10A PH10B

alpine: PH10C PH10D

magician: PM10A PM10B PM10C

blueangel: PH20B, PH20B1, ...

warning: use at your own risk. .... read the thread for user (dis)satisfaction reports.

in case of problems

try to run this tool using 'prun \xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6.exe -q -f'

see page 11 of this thread for details.

DOES NOT WORK FOR:: wallaby, smartphones, harrier, cdma phones.

and I am not able to relock the phone for you.

so, if for whatever reason you may get in trouble for unlocking your phone, that is your problem.

changelog

v1.0: initial version

v1.1: added PH20B1, PH10A

[General Questions and Answers] niravgosalia10@gmail.com:
hi my handset is sony xperia u and its running on ics

i am actually very new here, so i would be glad if u can answer some of my questions

1) is rooting the device safe? because some of ur posts include that u may loose bravia engine or radio wont work and i dont want these kind of problems

2)what exactly is CWM or cyanogen or bootloader, its a bit confusing

3)after rooting my phone, can i upgrade it to jelly bean without any drawbacks or bugs in it?

i know these questions are very much annoying for you so can u just send me the link of a perfect video for rooting my device with proper steps and all
[General Questions and Answers] coolsandie:
1. Rooting is safe in every devices. Its actually the process of letting you access the System files which would be locked by your Device Manufacturer. But before rooting, you must have a knowledge on why to root? Do I really need root? etc. and knowing that rooting voids your warranty. Rooting actually doesn't affect another device-specific applications like Bravia Engine or Radio app etc. but make sure you are doing it right and if these bugs have been reported be ready to face it too. Read through the Xperia U section for more info.

2. CWM = ClockWorkMod recovery, its a custom Recovery which has lot more options than your stock recovery which is coming with your Stock ROM. CyanogenMod is a customized Android ROM which has additional features built on their own and incorporated by themselves, and will be pure 'Vanilla' android which is as seen in the Nexus devices. In short, no skin'ing or theme'ing on UI will be there like TouchWiz UI by Samsung, Sense UI by HTC or Timescape or Xperia UI by Sony.

Bootloader is the space between you and your device which controls the device booting, partitions, recovery, fastboot etc. In short, messing with the bootloader will brick your device if its done wrongly. In Sony devices the Bootloader will be locked and Sony has provided detailed instructions on how to unlock it. I guess, bootloader is to be unlocked if you want to install custom ROMs, recovery etc.

3. Yes, you can. No drawbacks. 90% of XDA member's devices are rooted.

I suggest you read this thread - Getting Started:Rooting,Bootloader Unlocking,Recovery,Custom ROM installation & more and browse through your device forum for more. Cheers !!

Hello, I'm new to kernels and know not much about them except you can flash them like roms but, exactly where can I find a place with the most reliable kernels and if so, which one would be the best in terms of giving me the greatest/fastest performance? & also another different kernel that offers great performance as well as great battery life? (Running CM 10.1 stable on GS3, T-999)
[General Questions and Answers] coolsandie:
Actually no one can give you an apt answer rather than yourself for which is the best. You may have to try yourself to know which is the best kernel, just like your try ROMs. Go to your device forum, pick up the most active kernel threads, read comments and feedbacks from members in the thread and you can try after getting an initial idea about the same.

So I went and tried it - not really that impressed. Camscanner does a much better job.

The image is colour and noticeably clearer, after it has acquired the image, there is an option to crop, and this is smart enough that even if the image is skewed, it can straighten it out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userid87:
Hi guys,

I've compiled the android sdk from AOSP and now I'm trying to modify the source code to add a function to SensorManager class to call a custom function implemented on SensorHAL.

I've added simply my function on framework/base/core/java/android/hardware/SensorManager.java file and now it come out on the sdk output built.

To understand how the binding from SensorManager.java -> SensorService -> SensorManager.cpp -> SensorHAL is done I'm studing an already implemented function as registerListener that should call a lower layer function called "activate" declarated on libhardware/include/hardware/sensors.h interface file.

Can anyone help me to understand the binding mechanism or send to me a link or resources where I can study this?

Thanks,

Denis
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupraLance:
I have been systematically tracking down errors since I bought a new Sandisk Class10 SDHC a few days ago, and it appears that there is a compatibility issue with the way JB rom's install on the Fascinate and my new SD card. I am unable to flash ANY JB rom with the new card, although it works fine flashing CM7.2, THS Build2, etc. Read on for details, and please feel free to offer any ideas you have regarding what the real issue might be...

After Odin (Heimdall) to EH03, installing cwm4forcm7 & GB bootloaders, wiping all, and then attempting to flash any JB rom, I end up with the following errors (this is after the bml over mtd checks & multiple flashes between recovery & boot logo):

Installing update...

Format and Mount System, Mount data...

Symlinks and permissions...

set_perm: some changes failed

E:Error in /sdcard(filename)

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

At this point, the phone will reboot only to Recovery mode. I can flash an older ICS or GB rom and the installation will complete fine, but any JB rom gets me an error and installation aborted.

IF I flash CM7.2 & THS Build2 first (which both install fine with the new SD card), and then flash a JB rom I end up with the following error instead (also after the bml over mtd checks & multiple flashes between recovery & boot logo):

-- Installing: x

finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

assert failed: run_program("/tmp/updater.sh", "cdma") == 0

E:Error in /sdcard(filename)

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

Occasionally I get this error instead:

E:Can't open /sdcard/filename

(bad)

Installation aborted.

If I put the old card (Samsung Class2) back in with all the exact same files on it (copied from computer, still same MD5), the JB rom's will install fine. I first tried the new SD card with the factory format and from within an existing JB rom, going to a different JB rom. When that didn't work, I odined back and reformatted the card on the phone with stock EH03 and got the same results. I also reformatted the SD card with Gparted on the computer and tried that, etc. etc. Even though I put the exact same files on the new card after each reformat as are on the old card, the new SD card can only flash the non-JB roms. Any idea why?

Droidstyle's guide mentions these type of errors, and suggests to use a higher class card if you get them... but this is an Ultra Class10 UHS-1 card. Perhaps it is too fast or incorporates some new tech that is not compatible with the compatibility checking that the newer Rom's do before they install? If so, perhaps the older roms work because they don't do any compatibility checking prior to install?
