Phone call:

On Handset is good...no issues.

On Speaker is ok...on full volume sound distortion is evident.

On Headphones is good but other person can't listen clearly unless I hold headphone mic in front of my lips...or speak loud.

Music:

On Speaker is terrible.

On headphones (Klipsch S4A)...quality is really good for 320kbps mp3 files...I feel best audio quality is between 50% - 70% of volume level.

I find that I can't get my hands on certain kdzs for my phone. So I created a filedrop thread for those who want to create a filedrop for their phone type so others can upload their own copy of the flash file so it doesn't get taken offline completely. My example is with the LG Thrill where I want to flash froyo back on it, but LG changed their link system so only the latest kdz is available at a time.

I looked at the rules and I don't see this as breaking the rules because this isn't proprietary software, but correct me if I am wrong so no one gets in trouble for my idea.

The File Drop for the LG Thrill is at http://www.mediafire.com/filedrop/filedrop_hosted.php?drop=5cc36c4b20a4c2ec3e14d58964067565ea113c9929fdf6ac7066ccb68d9c2ee6.

Not sure if this has been mentioned here but the Sprint Nexus 5 Best Buy sells in the US can be had for Google Play prices. You just have to get the right rep. I went to a local Mobile store in a mall and the rep matched the Google Play price. They only have black 16 gig models but I got it for $370.99 out the door which is actually cheaper than the Play store since I did not have to pay shipping.

I am also sure that most should realize that it is an unlocked phone and works fine on AT&T and T-Mobile.
[Nexus 5 General] MikeyMike01:
I'm going to have to hit up a local Best Buy, I think.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Only the mobile ones have the phone. I talked with the ones by me and they didn't even know what it was lol. Then I searched on their website and saw only their mobile stores (well at least in my area) carried the phone and it was for 450. I tried calling and no one answered and through emails they ignored me too. I might try calling again but I think I might just wait for my shipment to come in.

Hi,

I've seen videos about unrooting with Odin. I have a pc. But I have Kies on my Mac. I put my old galaxy S4 back to stock using the emergency reset way. Can I unroot my Note 3 and put it back to stock using Kies?

I don't have a problem with my rooted Note. I was just curious.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaminJ:
Hello all.

I bought an Samsung I9300 with the 4.0.4. FW installed.

I updated the FW to

AP: I9300XXELL5

CP: I9300BUELK1

CSC: I9300VFGELL1

via over the air update and installed the following stock (and braning free) FW later on without problems (using Odin3-v1.85):

PDA: I9300XXBLG8

CSC: I9300DBTBLG6

Then I ran updates again and rooted it using CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.

Using EFS_Pro_1.4.7 I created an EFS backup.

I recently updated to stock FW 4.3 (I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300VFGGMJ5_VDI).

Since the FW was too buggy, I flashed stock FW 4.0.4 (I9300BUBLG3, I9300VFGBLG3).

After a reset (having wiped the phone of course) I noticed that there was no network connectivity anymore.

Googling a lot, I learned that the EFS is damaged (besides the IMEI is corrupt).

So I rooted the phone again and restored the EFS, unfortunately it didn't help.

I know there are many threads about corrupt IMEI and so on but none of the solutions helped me out.

Does somebody have any hints for me?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedman169:
Try flashing an XXEMG4 or later modem.

I had the same issue as I went back to my 4.1.2 rom from 4.3 as well.

EFS version has changed in 4.3 and unless you made a backup from your original firmware, you wont be able to go back to an older modem.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaminJ:
I have read the mentioned faqs and guides and followed the instructions.

Unfortunately it didn't help.

My current problem is that I'm not able to restore the /efs partition.

Since I made the backup in April, it seems to be a prior-July 2013 (XXEMG4) version, thus a so-called "EFS v1".

Whatever I do, CFW Recovery tells me "Error mounting /efs!" and my IMEI and S/N are corrupt.

I also tried flashing the Rescue Firmware "I9300XXEMG4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY" but then the phone is stuck in bootup loop.

Only flashing FW [I9300XXBLG8, I9300DBTBLG6, DBT, 4.0.4] makes the system come up but with /efs partition unmounted/empty.

It seems none of the other solutions work here or did I miss anything?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaminJ:
After searching the web a lot I found out why I am not able to restore the EFS backup:

I used EFS Pro 1.4.7 for backup. Back then the EFS partition was believed to be located on /dev/block/mmcblkp02 while the correct location is /dev/block/mmcblkp03.

As a result the EFS.img backup is sized 4096Kb instead of the correct size which is 20MB.

Restoring the wrong backup I corrupted my EFS partition.

I used a friend's i9300 for a new backup with EFS Pro 2.0.70 and restored that one on my phone to get FW 4.1.2 running on my phone again.

Now I guess I have to "send my phone for (IMEI) repair", right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No, but you shouldn't have used another efs folder as this may be illegal in your country.

Format your efs partition then reboot your phone. The system should recreate the folder. On your pc, extract the contents (all the files and folders) from your original backup and paste them into the efs folder. Set the permissions and reboot.

The above is only what I recall from many previous threads, search and read here in xda.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] featherknox:
As per my humble knowledge I have concluded that this problem has nothing to do with EFS things!!!

All you need to do is just download a Stock ROM from sammobile and flash the Modem File..

Thanks to XDA Members who provided the link it is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/geispctijpxqjms/Patched_Modem_I9300XXEMG4.zip

Flash the zip into recovery and you are done!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaminJ:
Well it's not like the phone works now...besides the phone doesn't have a valid S/N nor IMEI.

And as I already mentioned, the EFS backup is only 4MB and taken from an invalid path.

Besides I don't know how to extract the contents of the .img file.

[Nexus 7 General] jb0ne:
So now that I finally got it working, it just looks like they changed some interface elements. Which I personally don't think look as nice as in 4.3 (those rounded popups that notify you of, say, when a program is granted root, look awful, as do the icons in the pulldowns now; like they went in the direction of MS and tried to make things more monotone). Is there something I'm missing here? I mean I know on the back end a lot of APIs had changes and additions so I can see it being mandatory for certain programs, but beyond that....better battery? sleeker interface? even more buttery smooth? I mean the user experience....
[Nexus 7 General] MerkYa23:
i haven't received the update yet
[Nexus 7 General] gsmyth:
I think it feels a bit smoother than 4.3 for me, I wasn't one of the people who had problems with 4.2.2. I think you're right about the interface changes though, they are subtle but in places they changed to the monotone look but left some of the blue holo stuff in there too like they couldn't make up there mind. Waiting to see how battery goes, certainly doesn't seem any worse so far.

By extracting attached flashable zip, you'll know how to change Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 boot logo.

WARNING: Don't use any image created or edited by Linux image editor (i.e. Gimp, Gwenview, Krita), you'll got a black screen of death! A simple, powerfull, nice, and free Paint.NET - but Windows - image editor worked!

A pdn file (Paint.NET multi layer image) attached here as a template for your convenience.

BACKUP: If something goes wrong, flash param-samsung-t311.tar.md5 using Odin as PDA or Heimdall v1.4.0: "sudo heimdall flash --PARAM param.bin".

Some technical explanations:

There is a script inside my CWM flashable zip. This script will flash a logo.jpg overwrite the original one. I called this in-place flashing because only logo.jpg is replaced, the other files in the param partition untouched. Attached boot logo CWM flashable zip should be compatible for all T31x family but I only test it on T311.

#!/sbin/busybox sh

# Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 boot logo changer script
# Ketut P. Kumajaya, Nov 2013

# Extract device param.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/PARAM of=/tmp/param.bin bs=4096
mkdir /tmp/param
cd /tmp/param
tar xf /tmp/param.bin

# Replace logo.jpg, repack param.bin
cp -f /tmp/logo.jpg /tmp/param/logo.jpg
rm -f /tmp/param.bin
tar cf - `ls | sort -t.` > /tmp/param.bin
dd if=/tmp/param.bin of=/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/PARAM bs=4096

cd /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/param
rm -f /tmp/param.bin

Yes, Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 param.bin is a plain tar file but you have to use a correct command to repack it.

Flash attached CWM flashable boot logo at your own risk! I only test it using PhilZ Touch recovery. Please reboot into recovery before performing a normal reboot!
