[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
I see that many people are having the same problem, but the solution is always to roll back to stock GB to get a backup of /efs .

Well, I did that several times and I already have the /efs backup, now what do I do?

After upgrading to cm-10.2 (JB 4.3), the /efs folder has a bunch of files and an empty subfolder named lost+found that can't be deleted. rm -rf /efs/lost+found will result in "folder not empty".

Some people suggest to delete this folder to cause a recreation in the next restart. It doesn't happen on my phone. If I delete the files in there (except the lost+found that can't be deleted), the folder will restart empty.

I tried to copy the backup files into /efs , but nothing changes. This time it's showing IMEI ending with 4000 and nothing makes it change.

Needless to say that it doesn't make calls or finds network service. It works fine if I roll back to GB though.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Generally this is solved by going

2.3.6 -> CM9 booted -> Any JB rom

There's another method that appears to be quite hit and miss, but its worked for me at least:

-You should have efs backups on your internal memory (on my device's internal memory its in a folder called backup). There should be folders such as efs and efs-383 (for example)

-Look inside any of them and find two files: nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5.

In any root explorer copy these two to the /efs folder.

Reboot the phone. That's restored my IMEI before but it seems to work for only some people..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
Hey, that worked !!!!

The IMEI has changed, but still no network.

Now what?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
Hey, that worked !!!!

The IMEI has changed, but still no network.

Now what?

EDIT: I also changed the ownership of both files, set them to radio:radio
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Still no network? Hmm, that should have fixed it :/

Under Status, does it say "Disconnected" under mobile networks?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
Yes, Disconnected.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
It says baseband version "I9000XXJVK".

I read a post in a brazilian forum somewhere saying it has to be I9000BVJJPG.

Shall I flash another modem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Yeah, that's probably it, needs to be a I9000B modem :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
I downloaded a version for ODIN.

Shall I add just the PDA without anything under PIT?

Or do I load PIT too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Is it a modem.bin?

If it is, put it under Phone, make sure re-partition is unticked, you don't need a PIT file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
it's modem.bin inside a tar file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Then it should go under Phone- I've never tried (because I've always had CWM-flashable modems) but other people have suggested that flashing the modem.bin is the way to go. So try extract it from the tar file and put it under Phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
Didn't work!

Now I have baseband, mobile network, IMEI, .... everything unknown.

Tried two modem.bin from this site.

I even copied again the nv_data.bin and nv_data_.bin.md5 and "imei" subfolder from backup. Changed their ownership too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Then the only thing I can suggest (I'm really sorry this happened- on other threads flashing it worked according to other users) is to flash back to stock and try again... Make a backup of your apps and data and reflash...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
Maybe this modem.bin that I downloaded is too old?

It's good for GingerBread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Technically gingerbread modems should work on Jelly Bean as well. However you may have a point- its possible that method only works with stock roms.

Can you find a modem that's in a zip file?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCabana:
Thank you 3 for helping !!!

AFAIK, the "B" in I9000B is to indicate a brazilian version of I9000 with very few hardware changes (basically digital TV). I sincerely believe modems for I9000 will also work on my device.

Last night, I tried quite a few *.tar and direct *.bin files. Though I didn't try in the PDA section as suggested above by xsenman. NONE of them worked under JB 4.3 or even after I downgraded to 4.2.2.

Now I switched back to GB and the two modems I have (UGKG3 and BVJJPG) are working. IMEI is recognized correctly, but the signal is a little weak and disconnects quite often (but that might be due the internal antenna ...... another long story).

At this time, with GB, the color problems described HERE are gone. The only problem is: GB SUCKS !!!! I want JB !!!!

Oh, and by the way, I have these two modems because I was told these are the ones that works on brazilian networks. Is it true? Are there more versions I could/should try?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
This depends on which Brazilian network you are on, so check here , check the region code and download that ROM, after unzip you can use only the modem , they are ZTA, ZTM, ZTO & ZVV, all of this will perform differently so, you may have to test them or ask your Network provider as what is best for their network.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
If you know which network you belong to, you might as well flash the entire ROM, for that network, as all of them are JW4 gingerbread 2.3.3, that's the official release for i9000B. They are packed together, so if only modem, you will have to download and unpack them

I took the modem.bin from the *.tar file and flashed it to the device.

The signal seems to be A LOT better now. Apparently not disconnected quite so often as before.

But when I dial a number, the screen goes black and the the device is unresponsive until the all is completed or disconnected. Also, it takes a little long time to start dialing. Is it normal or should I try another modem?

EDIT: That's the result of the FIRST try that I made and that was the "ZTA".

I use Cool Reader every day on my Nexus 7 to read while at work. I like to recline back in my chair and read but then have to constantly lean forward to touch the screen and turn the page.

Then I heard about Muku Shuttr on Kickstarter and figured I might be able to use it as a remote control page turning device. It pairs with the tablet using Bluetooth and it's single button emulates a VOLUME + button press.

Despite setting the VOL+ to the NEXT PAGE action in Cool Reader's options, it doesn't work. Cool Reader is sensing the input somehow, because when I press the button it immediately switches to a black screen with DOCUMENT LOADING displayed and then returns back to the page I was on. If I press it 2 or 3 times, it will freeze on the DOCUMENT LOADING screen requiring an app restart.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShirouX:
For those people who have a Chinese version of the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9006 it is possible after rooting and installing CWM to flash Google GApps onto the phone giving access to the Google Play store (even though it still localizes showing many Chinese apps by default), Google Accounts, and well everything Google except Google Now. For some reason it still wont function.

Sorry I am not able to give complete credit to who ever came up with the hack because I followed through so many threads last night that I couldn't completely backtrack to the origin. However, I can walk you through my steps to get it on your phone. *****IF you bootloop your phone or brick it I am NOT responsible***** that said following the steps as laid out on the site below has a high probability of successfully rooting your phone.

Step 1. Root the phone: I used the process laid out by galaxynote3root (dot) com making sure to download all the files (I didn't need to download the samsung drivers since I already had them) and then following the root process using ODIN.

Step 2. I flashed SuperUser onto the phone using CWM.

Then I started searching this site, and few others as well as some Chinese sites for how to get the google play store to work, and that's where I lost my footprints into random thread jumping and linking. Finally leading me to site that talked about how to flash Google Play on to the Dual Sim S4 [[[ support.mobicity (dot) com/entries/22148360-How-to-flash-the-Google-Play-Store-on-the-Dual-SIM-Galaxy-S4-GT-i9502 ]]] Guessing that there wouldn't be too much difference between the 4.2.2 version and the 4.3 version of GApps I took a shot in the dark and flashed the GApps file onto my phone using CWM

Step 3. Download the S4 GT-i9502 GApps file from [[[ hotfile (dot) com/dl/232926252/272b320/i9502_FILES.zip.html ]]] The process for flashing this to your phone is the same as flashing SU using CWM.

Put the zip file onto the internal storage of the phone

Turn the power off

Press Volume UP POWER and HOME until the screen flashes and the developer's text appear at the top of the screen release the HOME button continuing to hold UP and POWER

In the CWM screen scroll down to the i9502_Files.zip, press the enter key, and install the only file that says YES.

Once installed reboot the phone and there you go, you now have access to Google Play and all Google Apps except Google Now (still don't know how to fix that)

The only problems that I have encountered is that the Google Search feature seems to crash a lot, which will crash chrome and google voice, google translate, anything that uses Google Search. However, the play store works just fine. Since I don't use Chrome that often because it uses too much data by comparison to UC Browser, I am not entirely concerned with it.

If this works for you, and you Don't experience the Google Search crash please tell me in the comments. I want to know whats different and why mine crashes. If you have already fixed that problem also PLEASE share because I do love google voice search.

***this is my first post so if its not very clear i am sorry***

Thank you so much!! I was stressing out because they didnt wanna swap my phone, and i didnt know when a gapps and custom rom would, if ever, be realeased for these chinese models, but your gapps zip did the trick!

Also, it working perfectly. Hasnt hung one time at all and i used it for many days. Gmail, and everything.

One thing i remember from prvious days of flashing, and that i did this time too; remember to clear all cache, do a factory reset and stuff before you install the GAPPS. Maybe that will help. Not sure if factory reset is needed, but i remember that some of these things were important to clean first for it to be installed correctly. Once i didnt, and i ended up with the programs stopping like you described.

Good luck and many thanks mate

Would it be possible to flash a replacement ROM over the Chinese ROM and fix all of the Chinese issues? I brought the N9006 back from China to the USA and have no need for anything Chinese.

Hi Guys,

I'm on the same boat since i have the N9002 version.

I have already managed to get the Gapps working except Google Now (Cannot show Cards).

I fount that Gapps in the link below to perform the best.

In order to get the Cards to show in Google Now, the device language should be set to (English US). which is missing in the CSC for the N9002 and most probably in your N9006's CSC.

So, we do need someone to help on adding other countries to our 9006 and 9002 CSCs
