[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
Unfortunately I've no idea besides the thread I linked you as I've not yet experienced (and I hope I won't) any corruptions regarding the IMEI. I also don't have any idea on how to manually push the IMEI back to the device. Better wait for a much more expert response regarding this... sorry I can't be of any more help.

Apparently.. you know this inside out?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayday2:
[MENTION=5146570]SignetSphere[/MENTION] already pointed you the link/thread which was talking about Samsung changing the format of the EFS since ROM ended with MG*. Omega 48.1 used the new format of EFS while Omega 46 dated May 2013 may use the old format.

Using baseband from old ROM cannot read the new format EFS. Your EFS may not be corrupted. As mentioned in the OP of the thread:

If you have ever flashed XXEMG* (or newer) ROM, to keep your IMEI working, you must:

Stay with the EFS v2 basebands (MG* or newer). You may flash other ROMs but must return to the MG* (or newer) baseband

Hence, you may try to flash back the modem (baseband) in Omega 48.1.

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

And based on what you described, you did not backup your new phone's IMEI in old format. Without this, you cannot use any old baseband which can only read old version of EFS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !SINGH!:
Hi Mayday2

I have tried that. I read the thread and understood the changes within versions pre/post July.

Flashed total stock first.. and then v49 Omega

This did not help at all. flashed to v48.1 & vv49 and still no difference

Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayday2:
did your CWM backup include efs? If so, you can try to restore your backup 1. If still doesn't work, you may need to go to service center again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
CWM does not normally backup EFS .

Custom rom may have backed up EFS to efs backup TAR file .

Te paso una solución muy práctica y es lo mas simple: cuando se les corrompe el imei o se quedan sin señal y les larga el red no registrada etc, es porque se modificó el modem por uno mas antiguo y al volver a uno anterior se corrompe la efs. La solución mas práctica es instalar un modem que lea la efs modificada.Lo instalan por cwm y funciona perfecto.

We passed a very practical solution is the most simple: when they are corrupted or imei no signal and they are long the unregistered network etc, is because they changed the oldest one modem and returning to a previous one is corrupted the efs. The most practical solution is to install a modem to read the efs modificada.Lo install by cwm and it works perfect

If you synced with google, the imei will be stored there. You should just be able to change it manually.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
True, but that should have been covered earlier when the OP was given the link to my thread:

Although, none of these threads should exist. I created the thread so we didn't see 10 - 15 identical threads every day. It hasn't worked, as this thread clearly identifies.

1) IMEI is not backed up to google

2) You cannot manually change the IMEI

3) Changing the IMEI is illegal in many countries.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraphSephiroth:
Ah. My friend you are incorrect! If you sign into your google account on your phone, and the same one on your pc, then head to google dashboard, voila! There is your IMEI under the "android" section. As fir it being illegal to change the IMEI, reverting it back to the original shouldn't be illegal.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lebrunj1:
Is anyone else having problems with the gps/navigation on after downloading cm 10.1.2 or any of the updates? For whatever reason whenever I try to use my google nag it seems to work but the gps cannot lock in on my coordinates, I tried using navigon and that app just keeps crashing besides that everything else works perfectly. Any ideas what is going on ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I always flash the AGPS patch from the dev forum on every ROM I've ever used, and I've never had issues with GPS since doing that. Worth a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lebrunj1:
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I took your advice and Googled AGPS patch xda developers and found it no problem, you have no idea how much of a help this was. Just imagine driving and putting on your trust Google nav just to find that its is not working (this was a reality for me) luckily this awesome community has come through once again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I would also suggest getting 'GPS Status' from the play store. I have found a few times where the GPS needs a kickstart, and GPS Status does it. Just open up GPS Status, and it will get your location, then go back to maps and it will nail it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
I used to do this too when I mixed up giving google apps permission to use GPS with enabling google

ads

. I simply refused to read that text about google apps and gps and assumed it was google ads lol. Wow did I feel stupid when I finally enabled GPS access for google apps and got that fast GPS again... I felt really stupid dumb :silly:

EDIT:

I've had issues with AGPS patch here in Sweden. When using the correct patch for this region it locks in about 1-2 seconds with an error in two whole kilometers and stays that way for 5-10 minutes after which it starts jumping between the correct location and a 1.5 kilometer error. AGPS patch is really obsolete and useless for me as GPS works flawlessly without it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lebrunj1:
Premature celebration

seems I celebrated a bit prematurely, I got the gps working a bit when I patched the location fix however the main problem is still here. That being that the directions are give, my location is found however the actual route guidance just hangs. My location is shown, if I choose the turn by turn list all the correction instructions are give but for some reason the route guidance just hangs. I am now going to try reinstalling stock rom to see if it is a rom issue. Hope someone out there knows of a fix without having to flash back to stock I really like cm 10.1.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] envizion58:
i'm trying to return my phone back to stock. i have only rooted it with autoroot and installed twrp recovery, nothing else was changed. i used Triangle Away first. then i used odin to flash the UVUAMDL Official TAR from the odin thread. everything seem to have went smoothly but after the boot up the device status still says "Custom". any idea what i should do to return it back to stock from here?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] me_three:
A month after I rooted and s-off my EVO 4G LTE I started having mobile data problems. I travel to 7 cities daily, and in 3 of them I have internet and in the other 4 the mobile data shows on but disconnected in the settings. I called Sprint and told them what was happening and after 45 minutes on the phone they decided that it was a hardware problem and told me to go to a Sprint store. After unrooting and s-on by using VipeRUU_jewel_3.16.651.3 I went to the store where they spent a couple of minutes comparing the settings on my phone to the information on their screen. After that they told me it's a hardware problem and I would have to pay for them to see if it was fixable. Before I start shelling out money, is there any chance that it is a software or settings problem?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Is your firmware/radios up to date?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] me_three:
As up to date as it comes from Sprint. I had just gotten the phone new in August from Sprint. I never messed with either after I rooted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] me_three:
Here's an update. Had a Sprint tech look at the phone and he said it was a hardware problem. I asked what exactly was wrong and all he could say was that it consistently failed the slate of tests. I asked how it could have happened and he said that he didn't know because the device shows no sign of physical or water damage. Since I don't have the insurance he said that I could pay a copay and Sprint would give me a new phone or that I could send it to HTC since it comes with a 1 year warranty from them. I'm leaning that way but I'm a little worried that HTC could see that I had it unlocked at one time even though the bootloader shows locked, s-on and doesn't say modified now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] me_three:
After some more snooping, one last question. Here's two snippets from the log files, one is from a geographical area where I can connect and the other one is when I'm in the cities where I can't connect. Since I've never flashed the radios until I did the viper ruu while trying to bring back to stock to take into sprint, does this mean my 3g is hardware hosed?

I've got a similar query; is dual booting is possible on the Captivate Glide in any shape or form?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
The best approach I would think of is multirom. That is a based on a modified TWRP and you could boot as much ROMs as you like. I tried to port multirom to the LG F3Q a while ago and I believe it should be possible to do that for the Glide, too.

but. Forget that. becouse:

we dont have best and uptodayt kernel maker for glide

2. dual recovery boot isnt important. use twrp 2.8 by bubor only
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
its very easy to make dualboot, we've got 512mega partition (/preload), you can use as system, you need a data partition ( sdcard's partition), replace boot.img.

Why do you need it?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kha1rul:
I don't personally need it; it's just that I'm selling my Glide to someone and they've asked if I can do a stock/CM11 dual-boot setup for them before sending it out.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7.3PowerstrokeTurboDiesel:
So, some people have been able to get amazing battery life out of the G2, but others have had fairly major heat buildup and short battery life issues. I have also seen some posts about lag issues.

I'm deciding between this phone and the HTC One, which I have heard also has battery issues. I currently have an HTC One X+, and the battery, lag, and heat buildup are unbelievably bad, so I'm cautious about getting another HTC device.

What I want to know is, are most people having good experiences with the battery/heat buildup of the G2? Have you experienced consistent lag? Thanks for your responses.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elofback:
I have experienced excellent battery life 1+ day usage. I've never had the phone heat up at all... Slight warmth, possibly just from my hand...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwards2243:
I haven't experienced any of the issues you mention. The plastic case squeaks a little, but this is to be expected...the s3 and s4 both do/did it. It's literally the only drawback I've noticed. I just ordered a case, so hopefully that'll muffle the sound and it'll be perfect. ☺
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordant2:
I've had the HTC One and the battery life stinks. That's the only reason I got rid of it. I'm thinking of getting this phone tomorrow. Either this g2 or Moto X. I've been browsing both forums.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanhayn:
I just sold my HTC One to get my G2. The One's battery life sucks! The only things the One has over the G2 are: 1. higher PPI screen (worthless since both have pixels so tiny you wont even notice the difference. 2. Front facing stereo speakers. My G2 makes it through the day easily with over 50% remaining by the time I go to sleep. It gets a little warm, but only when playing games...and no warmer than my One got when playing games.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalvarez0312:
hmm i was also thinking about getting the lg g2. I current have the att htc one x, which is nice and all but i think its time for an upgrade. Im going through the insurance though and theyre sending me out a galaxy s4. Has anyone used both devices, the s4 and the g2? Obviously the g2 is a step up but how does it translate to real world usage? Would love to hear you opinions on both. If worth it ill just sell my galaxy s4 and buy the g2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:

Mine was more of a stutter then lag as smooth as TW Roms could make it and got annoying after a while

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thestrangebrew:
I'm in the same boat and considering the g2 or the g pro. Im liking the phablet because I watch a lot of video on my current phone so the real estate is nice. At $99 with a new contract its a steal and I'm due for an upgrade. But I'm also digging the hardware of the g2. Bern lurking between the 2 forums trying to make a decision, but I'm heavily leaning towards the g2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:

I doubt it that the nexus 5 will be the same hardware as the G2. Something has to be comprised. But, the G2 is a beast all on its own. I think I got a good one, cause battery life is awesome, gaming I don't experience any heat like every one is talking about. Games I play are, dungeon hunter, eternal warriors, need for speed, Madden, and angry birds. There's some lag here and there, but it's the app that's causing it not the phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imucarmen:
Definitely buy. I just got mine yesterday and I've never been so impressed by a phone. Its smooth, battery is great right out the box, has some neat and useful built in features, already has root and custom recovery so we can flash whatever when the roms start dropping, and there are a list of other reasons to buy. If you happen to get a bad one then just exchange it for another.

PS. I to came from an s4 and agree with a couple previous post that that phone is laggy trash and I never once in the 2months I owned it felt like I had a premium phone because it ran so terrible. Plus it being so locked down made things that much worse because I'm sure it runs cm or some aosp based Rom great. With the g2 I feel like I'm holding a premium device. When I use it it responds as such as well. This is by far the best phone you can buy right now. The note 3will be good I'm sure, but how locked down will it be?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdsubball23:
What was so laggy about the s4? Did you have a lot of apps installed and running or something?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imucarmen:
It wasn't constant lag in every animation but I would say 30 to 40 percent of the animations would have a stutter. I had this from the time I got the phone brand new and I never really put much on the phone because I hated it and never used it much, other than as a hotspot and for my basic phone needs. After getting lag I went on YouTube to see if this is a common issue and low and behold the answer was yes. The funny thing was the solution Samsung fan boys would post were videos of how disable animations. Lol
