I was wondering if this is possible to make a cab file of my copy of TT 3 so that i can install the program form the SD card

The reason i am asking is that i have TT 5 running on my M1000 fine but i have been given a Toshiba PDA that has one of the pins broken on the sync port. meaning i cant sync it with my PC but syncs with the sat reciever So i am unable to install any programs from my PC as it will not activesync

I want to make a TT3 cab file so i can install it from the SD card and my wife can use this.

If this is possible how do you make such cab files ?

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] csm121295:
Well...

Didn't that happened because nook and kindle sucked back then?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Yea but the Kindle and Nook aren't full tabs either. Don't they lack stuff like NFC, wireless charging, Bluetooth, and GPS?

Those other tabs are designed to make it very very hard to keep them on stock software. Each new device gets harder and harder to open up.

I'd easily take a N7 with a 600 then a Kindle with a 800.

I also don't see anything confirming any specs.

Is it ok to charge nexus 4 with 2.0a powerbank? And also what about with 110v ac power adapter with 2.0a output?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epidemic11:
It is fine as long as it has the same voltage with the original power adapter. the amperage doesn't matter because the phone will only take power that it needs. If I am wrong, please correct me. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xantonin:
That is correct, however, there are some studies which indicate charging at lower amperage will provide longer battery life over time (just slower to reach max capacity).

You didn't have to flash a kdz at all.

The reason for bootloop was the fact that you flashed the wrong bootloader.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
EFS Backup Restore utility (Noob friendly)

What and Why

Before starting with this guide you must know what is EFS and why we need to backup it, still you don't know about it then Read This and come back.

OK so now you know why we need this and again before proceeding make sure you need device Rooted, If you don't have rooted device then first Root it (use this guide option 2 to root ) then join here directly to step 2

STEP1 : prerequisites

1.As said above you should have rooted device

2.Make sure you have CWM/TWRP installed. If you have stock recovery then you can use this guide to make EFS backup. But here described method is much easy and noob friendly.

If you want to install CWM then download this philz recovery and flash using Odin

STEP2 Backup EFS

1.Download EFS_baclup_restore-AromaV2.zip

2.Copy downloaded file to Int/Ext SD card

3.Switch off device and press Vol up + Home + Power to reboot device to Recovery Mod. Once it rebooted to recovery mode, selecy Install zip option from recovery

4.Select option choose zip from sdcard OR Ext Sd card depending on file you have copied

5.Select EFS_backup_Restore_Aroma.zip and select enter.

6.Now next screen you will have is Aroma installer. You can select option depending on your choice, where to store EFS backup. Here in example i have selected to make backup on both place int and Ext SD card

7.Once backup is finished, you will have msg like this. Now you can select next to exit.

8.Now select back and return to main menu of CWM and select to reboot system now.

After successful backup you will have MyEFS folder depending on location you have select to backup. You can see 20MB file efs.img in MyEFS folder. along with that you can see build.prop file too. Actually that file have nothing to do with EFS backup but just for capturing information of your ROM when you made EFS backup.

STEP3 : Copy to safe place

Copy MyEFS Folder along with files in it to safer place on PC / Cloud to make secure extra copy.

RESTORE

Follow first 5 steps as mentioned above in 'Step2 Backup EFS'. Now here you have to select option

'Restore EFS from intSD' OR 'Restore EFS from EXTSD' depending on location you have choose to make backup.

Select one of it and click next.

Now exit from aroma, reboot device.

PS : If you already have efs.img 20MB file which you have created with other tool and want to use this to restore EFS, you need to create MyEFS folder and to put efs.img file to MyEFS folder in sd card manually.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Change log :

[13Sept13] V2 released : All user of first release requested to use V2 to restore EFS, First release have bug in restoring and may fail to restre. If you have made backup with first release no need to make backup again, issue was with restore only. Sorry for inconvenience.

In case need this
[Galaxy Note II General] MBariya:
Good tool Dr.ketan.

What is the difference between this tool and philz cwm efs backup option?

sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Nothing technically

But Philz recovery have option to make EFS quite internal and may be newbie don't knowing it. Also AFAIK it making backup as hidden file so again sometime newbie gets confused.

Here attached tool makes simple efs.img on MyEFS folder and that you can restore with other tool like AS_id's tool OR with Terminal emulator i have mentione in other thread.

Here i have illustrated in detail so it may become easy for any newbie.
[Galaxy Note II General] MBariya:
So product efs.img file is same as all. And can be restore with other tools also.

One suggestion from my side,

Add date, time and ROM details in .txt file with this efs.img backup if possible.

I know you have backup buid.prob with it, but as noob we can't identify.

And thanks again for this nice tool. Adding this to this thread also.

Very very useful for newbies .. :good::good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I thought earlier to make date stamp, but i think it's have no use b'coz we can't remember on which date which ROM was there on our device.

Build.prop is giving information of your ROM which really we needs. just open with text editor file from device and you can find information in first few line.
[Galaxy Note II General] wesamothman:
Thx Doc for the great tool. You make people's lives easy :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II General] albsat:
Great tool. It should be included in every aroma based roms.

However is the efs backup valid with any modem? I have the impression that they are related and newer modems effect older modems.
[Galaxy Note II General] aliasretro:
Great, thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
See you have some misunderstanding.

This is different method of making backup, it doesn't make changes in contents of it.

Modem have no role directly. basically culprit is newer kernel. when you flash new ROM (so kernel) it lakes change in EFS partition which older modem can't read and so No IMEI.

If you flash new modem than again it will work. And tha't why i included to make backup of build.prop to capture ROM information at time of backup. So if you have created backup on older ROM, i recommend to flash older ROM - Restore backup - Upgrade ROM.

I know most of you won't care, but I want to say goodbye to my S4, all of you on the AT&T Galaxy S4 forum and Samsung in general.

I won't be buying another Samsung phone until they finally realize that they need to badly optimize their software. I am finally sick and tired of the lag and slowdowns on this phone regardless of rom and kernel combination. And the Note 3 videos show the signature Touchwiz ui lag once again, snapdragon 800, 3gb of ram and all.

I will be getting my LG G2 on Tuesday and will be selling my S4. Good luck to you all it has been real and there are a lot of great people here! Hope to see you all again one day.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Umm, are you serious? You base your statement on what? I bought a LG Optimus G Pro for extremely cheap to check out the LG software and ui and then I flipped it for a profit.

There was zero lag. As in none that I could find. And look at the videos of the G2. The thing looks screaming fast and can only be faster than he Optimus G Pro with the Snapdragon 800. That is scary to think about because the Optimus G Pro is scary fast.

Compare that to the Note 3 videos and you can see lag all over the ui which is standard for Samsung lately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GuestX0019:
I ran an LG OGP numerous times before getting the S4. No lag--I just didn't like the 5 inch size. Good Luck--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxyjeff:
Still say the s4 is better and nicer. The screen is outstanding and mine with the mf3 update works great. Every android phone lags a little. Also 4.3 is coming to the s4 in October because they need to update it for it to work with the new smartwatch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] REDFOCZ:
To each their own. Before owning the S4 and note 2 I had the optimus G and with the S4 pro CPU and andreno 320 GPU the phone was very fast and fluid. LG has been stepping their game up IMO.

try re-flashing with ODIN but with “Auto Reboot” unchecked. Then when you see “PASS!”, pull battery, put it back in, then boot again into Download mode, Then re-flash radio again with ODIN. When done flashing twice, reboot your phone by pulling battery then back in. Now, the “Baseband version” should have changed. (i hope)

Are you extracting the XXXXXXX.tar.md5 from the XXXXXXX.rar? From my understanding, you flash modem differently than roms in Odin, I think you use "PHONE" instead of "PDA". Don't take my word for it though, do a search.
