Misery loves company.

I ran across a few of these guides for Samsung Galaxy phones as well, but I don't think they apply to the Galaxy Nexus... at least I couldn't figure out how to get it to work with our devices unless I was missing something important. I noticed they all mention Qualcomm and the I9250 doesn't have any Qualcomm stuff as far as I know.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. My only surviving backup is a Titanium Backup, and it only includes APKs. So, I think my solution will be to buy a Nexus 5.

... And until it arrives, my email .sig will read: "-- SENT FROM MY ANDROID TOUCH", because obvious.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rburrow:
Hah. I finally decided to order a Nexus 5 like an hour or two before I managed to wipe all the nv_data files simultaneously. My friend told me that I had a tiny tablet now when I figured out what I had done.

If you really don't have a backup anywhere, I think your only solution is to send it in somewhere to have the IMEI repaired (either someone that says they can fix it, or to Samsung). Unfortunately it's more than likely going to cost money. The cheapest potential solution I could find was from SRS Services / SamMobile, where you have to buy a UART cable and pay to do an IMEI repair using their software. I have never used them so I have no idea how all that works out.

I searched quite a bit (albeit only for a like a day) for a free DIY way to regenerate or create a new nv_data.bin file, but I just couldn't find anything. The only thing I didn't try was an OMAP flash because I couldn't install the driver that came with the zip in Windows 8.1 64-bit, but I was already giving up at that point so I didn't go any further.

I was just wondering about the ODIN method as posted on post no. 2 & 3.

When you flash your phone using ODIN it wipes the whole internal memory & recreates the partitions.

Thus we can assume all files gets wiped including those in the /factory.

So I was thinking if Odin recreates the whole filesystem as new maybe there might be some file or script or program .... In there which recreates the IMEI files as well.

Ryan if you feel up to it could you please do a Odin flash of your device ( since their is nothing more to loose ) & check if that somehow restores the imei.

If it does that might be really helpful to someone in the same situation as u in the future & you WD be able to resell your Gnex fully working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryanvbissell:
Good point. I originally passed up on the Odin angle because on a page that listed versions of Odin for specific phones, there was no suggested version for the i9250. But you have a good point; I really have nothing to lose. So I will try it, but it may take me a few days before I have time.

Meanwhile, I took my GN to a local 'CPR' cellphone repair shop, and explained my predicament. Their tech just shook his head sadly and said 'Only Samsung has the proprietary software to fix this.' I found that surprising because I think I've seen references online to some $200+ kit called SPT ("Samsung Phone Tools") which I thought was geared towards professional phone repair businesses. Oh well.

Sent from my ANDROID TOUCH... sigh.

struggled today

did the same mistake of formatting factory today, it took me a day to find out my old backup dated back june 2013 made via cwm and finally phone is back to normal. Seems without backup restoring is impossible...maybe time to get nexus 5 for u
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Utkarsh-ezzo:
Same happend with me today, and I dont even have a nandroid backup, as we both are from India you know its hard to get solved from a samsung service centre, can you please upload you CWM backup files??? so that I will try to restore those on my gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
file too big

my backup file is around 2.1gb which will take me weeks to upload with the internet connection i have, may be if i backup the efs with some tools and send that img to u will that be useful...its really difficult to upload the whole backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Utkarsh-ezzo:
ya i can understand that,

i think we domt have efs partition on gnex its located at /factory , so if you could share the file from /factory it would be great for me,

nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 , .nv_data.bak and .nv_data.bak.md5

these files from /factory would help me out..

you will need to use root browser or root explorer or adb shell....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentpotato21:
Hi guys,

I am just wondering what happened to my Galaxy note N7000, long story short. When you try to power on the phone it goes to it's welcome screen which is the "samsung galaxy n7000" screen however it doesn't go to the samsung logo which is supposed to. It just turns black as if it was turned off.

I can go to recovery. Tried, wipe cache partition and factory reset to no luck.

I would really appreciate if someone guide through it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Did you try to flash a stock rom using odin? What is the recovery you have? If it's cwm then did you try to flash a custom rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentpotato21:
thanks for the quick reply. Actually no. I was playing with the app, "pimp my rom" then it required me to reboot the phone, so I did. The problem started. Now as for the recovery. it looks like it's PhilZ Touch 5. CWM base version: 6.0.3.3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
It seems like you have a messed up system partition. What rom were you on?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentpotato21:
I guess you are right about that.. Sorry I would really love to provide you what specific ROM I was in but I really can't check it now. I remember that I am on 4.1.2 JB though (if that would help), is there a way that we can install a new rom instead?

I would like to ask as well if this is considered as bricked?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
If you have a stock rom download already, then boot into recovery, choose clean before new rom install, reboot download, connect to odin and flash the new rom.

If you want to go for a custom rom, then download that. Connect phone to pc in recovery, choose mount usb storage, place the rom zip file in to phone storage, choose clean before new rom install, then install zip.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentpotato21:
I truly appreciate the answer. I would try that as soon as possible and get back to this thread if necessary. Is it safe to say that my phone isn't permanent dead yet? :(

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriotaus:
So the Moto X has touchless controls and the Nexus 5 doesn't. This is supposedly because the Moto X has a low power natural language processing core that doesn't burn through the battery, always listening for the users to speak the magical incantation to activate Google now.

Well, the Nexus 5 has the Snapdragon 800 series CPU which has Snapdragon Voice Activation built in. Which Qualcomm describes as a low power core listening for an activation phrase.

Is this even a pipe dream for a developer to get Snapdragon Voice Activation to activate Google now? Because I would definitely be hitting that donate button pretty hard if saw some devs working on this and I am pretty sure plenty of other people on this forum and nearly all of my other personalities would also be extremely interested.

I'm looking for a little bit of a boost while I'm on the go, and I like the idea of the wireless chargers with the batteries built into them but I feel like I would never really bring it anywhere...anyone know of a charger thats small enough to attach to your keychain (preferably with the usb cable built in or wireless would be even better)?

Doesn't have to have a huge capacity...just a little extra juice in emergencies would be nice if it's portable enough to always have with you.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] cmstlist:
Bigger than keychain-sized but there are a lot of these cute looking power banks floating around for cheap. They pop up on Groupon, TeamBuy, DailySteals and all the other group buying sites frequently, as well as eBay and Amazon.

There is a whole section on DailySteals right now:

http://www.dailysteals.com/heists/404/Battery-Backups

For $10 (shipped to US only) you can get a 2600 mAh power bank either in a rectangular shape (something like a slightly bigger pack of Halls?) or cylindrical, with a choice of colours. Or for $20 something that is oddly T-Mobile branded and presumably heavier, but packs 4000 mAh and has an integrated micro USB cable.

Or maybe this bright and slim 4000 mAh pack: http://www.amazon.com/MOCREO-Universal-Portable-Lightning-Blackberry/dp/B00EL8MX20

There is basically something cheap in just about any shape you could imagine.

Hi Guys,

I've experienced that Z1 has a very low flash-light when compared to other phones like nexus 4. I've tried many flash-light applications but even though issue isn't resolved. When capturing image using camera app the flash-light is giving much brighter light but if i use it as torch the flas-light is very low. Did anyone experience this issue? Please help.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan wst:
I am using this flashlight app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.smalltech.ledflashlight.free

It goes like this: after i start the app the led is powered on, then i push the power button of the phone so i do not accidentally type anything on the touchscreen (this way the phone is locked).

Here comes the interesting part: when i push the power button in order to wake up the phone (while flashlight is still working - camera led on), for half of a second, the camera led gets brighter than in the normal use of the flashlight app, then it goes back to the initial state (less bright). :-/

What is happening?

Has anyone found a flashlight app for Z1 that provides more light / uses the camera led to its maximum brightness capabilities?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Mr_Armageddon:
Hey Guys. Went ahead and purchased both the Anti-Glare and the Ultra Clear version of the COD iONIC screen protector for our Note 10.1 (2014 ed). Following prices are on Amazon as of Nov 1, 2013:

COD Screen Protector Film Matte (Anti-Glare) for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Tablet (3-pack) - $4.85 (+$3.85 shipping)

COD Screen Protector Film Clear (Invisible) for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Tablet (3-pack) - $9.85 (free shipping with Prime)

I took a few up close pics with my DSLR to compare text clarity, and also have a video review to compare in addition to clarity, light diffusion, and how they work with the S Pen. Also did a video to better compare not only text clarity, but also light diffusion, and to show how well the S Pen works with each.

[YOUTUBE]QPwfKqAyOxU[/YOUTUBE]​

After using both of these protectors you really can't go wrong with either one. But if you plan on using the S Pen a lot, go with Ultra Crystal and you will be happy. If you want to see these pictures in higher resolution, checkout the source images on my Project Log.

Mr. Armageddon's Project Log

I'm going to keep both of these protectors on for the next few days, so if you guys have any questions, let me know. :good:

EDIT: One thing I forgot to note, the Anti-glare also does a good job hiding finger prints, whereas the Ultra Clear is a finger print magnet.
