Well that's Def. Not how it was where I was. Apple is super involved with their tech support and is almost obsessive about making the customer happy. I mean, people lose whole libraries of punches stuff, and ur only supposed to get one or two complete redownloads of all ur stuff... But they rarely don't, give bottom level employees the ability to override warranty issues and replace uncovered damaged products.

Based on my experience with other tech or help lines, Apple has the best. They only outsource to India for one call center location. The other 9 are in America, so it's not impossible to hear them 90 percent of the time cuz you got someone here. Customers used to tell me when they called apple, if they ever did get an Indian, they'd just hang up and call right back cuz chances are the next one will be from Minnesota or whatever. And they got so many centers, there's barely a wait queue ever, the most I ever seen was 50 something minutes, on Christmas day. Otherwise barely at all. And they're good at hiding people that like electronics and actually know what they're talking about. Not to mention every tech employee goes through a paid 6 week long training course on every item you'll be troubleshooting, so every employee knows what they're talking about when you call. I worked there, and it's the one job that I don't really have anything bad to say about it at all...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliranan8:
I recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S III with ultima rom.

It installed perfectly. However, my sim is not shown. No mobile networks are shown. I am from Pakistan.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
READ the faqs and guides before flashing .

Is your IMEI correct of not restore your backed up EFS folder .

No EFS backup as per the instructions then you require a service centre repair .

Read the faqs and guides critical to understand post one and two BEFORE flashing
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
before sending to service center you can try installing a stock rom from sammobile via odin. this sometimes recovers the imei and network connection. you need to install a stock rom and reset your flash counter anyway if you want to keep your warranty

Make sure to flash a recent rom that uses mg2 or mg4 baseband.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jagannn:
What modem did you install? if you installed XXEMG4 it would have formatted your 'efs'

Check your IMEI by dialing *#06#

for more info check this link
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
The modem does not format or erase the efs folder. It alters the format so older modems can't use it. That is why if there is no efs backup prior to using mg4 or mg2 modem. It is impossible to revert to older modem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its actually the rom not the modem and yes, ultima is based on a version of the rom that alters efs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MIKEMON:
But, how well return, IMEI, after flash MG4 FW?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not sure what you're asking.

Read general > Sticky roll-up thread > "IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MIKEMON:
Everything I have read, but if you want to return a Nandroid backup, if you will?

It's nowhere
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
if your nandroid backup does not use an mg2 or mg4 modem than it will not restore your network. if you want to fix your phone go to sammobile.com choose any rom that uses mg2 or mg4 modem. flash it with odin. if that doesn't work take it to a service center

I am on hells fusion#50 kernel and creeds 3.5 rom. Deep sleep never works on my phone when i look through no frills cpu after enabling deep sleep display. It shows 0% A search leads me to believe tha tlink2sd is causing the problem but am not sure. Is there any way to fix this? I tried savie kernel#2 but it also had this problem. the phonenever went into deep sleep over a period of 2 hours on savie. I think creeds rom has native a2sd or something. could that be the problem?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
Deep sleep will not work for one of the following reasons

1- your phone is on charge

2- an app has wake lock permissions stopping it sleeping

link2sd will not cause your phone to not go into deep sleep - I use it

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tymtw12:
So, I bought my wife a new Nexus 7 (2013) as a wedding gift last month and she loved it. However, a couple days ago she installed an update and got the 'hanging at x' issue. After trying to fix it without a full wipe, I was forced to wipe it. Unfortunately, she took a lot of photos of our honeymoon on the Nexus 7's camera. I am trying to recovery those files and have tried Recuva and Odboso FileRetrieval, but neither one seems to recognize or read the Nexus 7 when plugged into my laptop and thus cannot even attempt to recover any files. Does anyone have any tips on how I can get one of these types of programs to recognize the Nexus 7 when it is plugged in so I can see if any file recovery is possible? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cb0gus:
If the files are still on the device: have you tried installing a file manager (like "AntTek Explorer" or "Astro FileManager" or something like this)? If not, try to connect the Nexus to your computer, it should show up as an mass-storage device - from that you could take a raw snapshot and give some file recovery tools a try.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tni.andro:
Your data is most likely gone.

An ext4 partition is used for '/data' that also includes a '/data/media' folder that is mounted as a virtual '/sdcard'. So you need a recovery tool that understands the ext4 file system. Even if you find a tool to recover files from ext4, Android 4.3 uses trim and if a trim cycle did run in the meantime (runs every 24h if there is idle time + enough battery), your data can't be recovered anymore.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Username invalid:
Even after you've accidentally deleted and/or formatted the partition, the data is still on your device. There are apps in the Playstore that claim to do the same thing as similar PC software does as long as you have not overwritten the data.

Hello there! Would love to get some help from you more experienced guys =)

This is my first post here. Be nice =)

Okej, so.. yesterday I unlocked my bootloader and rooted it following OneXRoot.com. This went good without any problems. But then when i wanted to put in "cm-10.2-20130906-NIGHTLY-endeavoru" into my HOX (following cursed4eva youtube video), i stuck on the HTC logo. I dont even have any access to my HTC Storage on the PC.

I already copied the boot.img (from CM10.2 zip-file) to the onexroot folder with the fastboot files and wrote the commands "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and erase cashe in the CMD.

Ive tried to wipe all data, cashe and dalvik cache. = No change.

Ive tried to restore my backup i did right after the unlocking, before the rooting and install of cm10.2. = No change.

Information:

Im from sweden, and have the HTC One X 32 GB tegra 3 quad core.

Well the sdcard is now recognized by windows as a usb drive.....simply go to the backup folder and copy the file ?

[HTC One X] chamoun87:
Thats the problem, its not recognizing it anymore. It did before i tried to flash CM10.2.

I did push "mount USB storage" and "format /sdcard" in revocery once. Can that make it a problem for me to access the storage from the PC?

Im getting a code when typing "fastboot devices" in cmd. Feels like its connected, but still cant access to the storage..
[HTC One X] chamoun87:
Btw, i can see "My HTC" under Android USB Devices manager. And when im in recovery, under "install from zip"... all sdcard folders are there (inkl CM10.2, GAPPS..). It feels like the SD card should not be corrupted.

Have any ideas?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joyride76:
Dear all

apologies probably for most of you this is a common topic

This is my first post on my first android devices

I bought a china phone running 4.2.1 with 4GB of internal storage not rooted

I'm very disappointed on how the device is managing storage

Currently the phone is reporting following partition:

phone storage: 1GB (600MB used)

SD: 4 GB

internal storage: 1,5 GB (not used at all)

Preferred disk writing: SD

I've all my application on the SD but the "phone storage" is increasing: some applications like firefox is storing cache on the "phone storage"

1) there is any way to install apps on "internal storage" partition?

2) If I'll root the phone there is any way to force the apps to use only SD and I mean only SD?

I've read about apps2SD but from my understanding there still some applications that will cache data on the phone storage

I'm looking forward to get help from you

Thanks you a lot!

Joy

[LG Optimus G (International)] davevinci:
HERE'S ALL OF IT FROM BACKING UP to NETWORK FIX(THIS IS FOR THE KOREAN 180K)

1) FIRST OF ALL CREATE BACKUP OF YOUR EFS PARTITION!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2164749

WHAT I DID IS THE MANUAL METHOD in the Terminal and transferred the 3 .img files to a safe storage(m9kefs1.img,m9kefs2.img,m9kefs3.img)

DONT USE OPTIMUS G TWEAKER FOR EFS BACKUP BECAUSE IT WILL REPLACE THE MODEM U WILL BE FLASHING THAT'S WHAT I NOTICED!!! BETTER TO DO IT MANUALLY

2)KDZ firmware update thru kdz updater (i used e975 PHILIPPINES ROM)

-KDZ FILES GREATER THAN 1GB WONT WORK IT WILL GIVE U EXTRACTION ERROR USE LESS THAN 1GB

3)AFTER KDZ update RESET FACTORY THRU HOLD VOL DOWN + POWER TO REMOVE CACHE AND DATA FROM PREVIOUS ROM (IF UR PHONE WORKED FINE AFTER KDZing ignore this step but i got a sdcard 000000 error so i used this step)

4)ROOTED MY PHONE WITH THIS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2181103

5)FREEGEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER AND INSTALLED CWM TOUCH

USED PLAYSTORE VERSION (need WI-FI for this one)

6)DOWNLOADED F180K MODEM HERE

http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/modem/korean

7)COPY MODEM ZIP IN SDCARD

8)RESTART IN RECOVERY HOLD VOLUME UP + POWER THEN VOL DOWN 2 times THEN POWER TO ENTER CWM RECOVERY

9)INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD THEN BROWSE TO THE MODEM ZIP AND FLASH WAIT TILL IT IS FINISHED

10)EXIT RECOVERY AND REBOOT!

AFTER REBOOTING YOU DIAL *#06# it will show IMEI null window and Network will not work because u need your IMEI!

DONT WORRY HERE IS WHERE YOUR EFS BACKUP FOR YOUR IMEI WILL COME IN HANDY!!

11)COPY THE 3 IMG FILE IN ROOT OF SDCARD AND INSTALL TERMINAL EMULATOR!

12)MANUALLY RESTORE THE IMG FILES USING THE TUTORIAL IN NUMBER 1! REBOOT! AND THERE U HAVE IT!!!

NETWORK FIX USING F180K MODEM WILL ONLY WORK IN COUNTRIES WITH THE SAME BASEBAND AS THE ORIGINAL F180K MODEM

GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS2100 (B1)

LTE1800 (B3)

FORTUNATELY HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES ALL BASEBAND ARE COMPATIBLE!

[LG Optimus G (International)] davevinci:
Hmmm seems like your phone became factory locked...Does it require a sim network unlock pin?

Maybe u should use older stock firmware for the f180k..

Try this one:

1. Power on your phone without any simcard inserted

2. Once it finishes booting up, go to your phone’s keypad and dial 2945#*XXX# replace xxx with 180 and see if it works

3. Phone will display a list with “Network lock”, “Service Provider Lock”, “Network Subset Lock”, Corporate Lock”, and “SIM/USIM Lock”.

Check if its activated

OR

HAVE U TRIED USING OTHER NETWORK SIM CARDS?
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Thanks for this very useful tip! I will try this sometime later. I have not tried any other SIM card though. I am planning to buy a GLOBE Prepaid. Since the current one I am using(SUN CELLULAR) is really bad from where I work. I also think that it becomes locked, since it came directly from Korea, so I propose they just unlocked it here. And flashing a stock ROM will nullify the unlocking they made. And it does not require any code to unlock the SIM or phone.
