luckyme

Hey Guys !

I guess that I have been very lucky last night....I borked the IMEI and the baseband of my Mother´s i9300 by flashing the CF-Autoroot for the S5.

The Phone went in factorymode and would do nothing but WiFi. So I tried to dump the /efs with ktool so I would at least have a Backup of the broken /efs, in case I would have to make several attempts to restore it (didn´t have a backup). Nothing worked out, and I have tried a lot of stuff.

Finally I loaded the nordic countries Firmware (4.3) and flashed it right away via odin and tadaa there was the IMEI back again.

Unfortunately ktool won´t verifiy my /efs backup, because nv_data.bin is not recognized, though it is in /efs partition. I backed up using efs pro.

Thanks for that amazing tool ! i hope the next time I bork something, the backup will do its job, when I did not do mine.

xD:good:

Your method allowed me to recover my nv_data.bin. As appreciation for the support this thread provided me I wrote a script to automate most of the process. As it currently stands the script only works with EFSv2 and in the case where your EFS is corrupted. Check it out at https://github.com/chriscz/efs_recover

No nand backup does not include efs (imei) you need to back it up separately.

Well thank you! Being a software developer and having plenty of unix/linux experience helps I guess. My 'guide' left a lot of people quite clueless, so I suppose it's quite ok for you to find it too complex :). Hope you got your phone working again tho, one way or another. Cheers! Jaap

i'm facing a similar 0049 error on my S3, the repair charge was quoted at over $250 (about $70usd) which is far beyond my expectations....

unfortunately i have no experience with linux and the TS's post while enlightening, felt like i'm reading rocket science....

nO iDeA hOw tHiS HaPpEnEd

Hey I would like to tell you that a miracle happened for my S3. Yesterday i tried to do same as per in this guide. After taking backup of broken efs backup i tried to clear the efs folder with this command "mk2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3"

After that i just flashed 4.4.4 based stock ROM and somehow phone booted up perfectly. No network issues. Bluetooth wifi sim card everything works. IMEI & Serial No is there. But when i'm checking network unlock status it is showing as everything locked. But still I can use everything... I'm amazed.!!!!

Do you have any idea how this happened??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kostanos:
My Samsung S5 Active won't turn on at all after performing this operations. I tried all possible methods, no luck.

Tried to boot in recovery mode.

Changed the battery.

The phone do not shows any sign of life at all, even no charging light.

Any ways to recover it? I did the dump with dd.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
I think you missed the part about hard bricking.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eekcage:
Neat solution.

Just wondering how long this fix lasted? because surely it's a fragile emmc chip from the failure mode you described.

I had boot looping 3 times in 3 months (mainly when the battery died) and eventually found my own working fix that no longer works. I have this never give up approach that forced me to find out the Partition info had melted itself whilst in storage, no product name in bootloader and the sdcard restore R313 mode trick failed every time. Pulled the chip and read it out using an SDcard reader with "thinner than pubes" size 0.10mm magnet wire to the ball grid. dd'd the whole chip and did some R/W tests that ALL failed. Still waiting on the new one from china. I have one efs backup but cant find this in the main dump at any offset with ddcompare making me think it melted the efs too.

Pretty confident that the new emmc chip will either be 0000 or default and your post may have saved my skin. excuse the waffle

Thanks for this important thread .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nMeee:
Hello I know this thread is old, and as you can imagine, I've arrived in here after doing everything humanly possible, backing up efs, removing efs folder and letting it regenerate itself etc. And I just did your tutorial and it didn't work, and here's my problem.

I checked the filesystem (efs.img) and t didn't have any problem, it was clean, in fact, I mounted it and checked its interior and found everything in there intact, everything that gets copied of course. After that I thought if this image isn't corrupted how come I'm not getting my IMEI back? well it turns out the nv_data.bin doesn't have the same hash as the nv_data.bin.md5 says. so if the image is not corrupted why in the heck is the md5 file telling me that the bin file has a different hash?

see:

imgur.com/uKg21GW.png

also there are no core file, and the imei folder is completely empty.

Hi, is anyone using the sharp version of opera 8.5 having these issues too? I installed this hacked version onto the sdio card and every time I run it on my Jasjar it would not run after sleep mode. I tried to stop it from running with mem manager but it would stop and the only way I can run opera again is via a soft reset!

Another issue is where added favorite url's tend to disappear.

Thanks

Hi evo8,

I'm using Opera. I haven't had the disappearing bookmarks (favorites). It does seem to me I had the problem with it not starting up once, but it seems to have gone away and is acting OK again. I just tried it now, and it comes back after sleep with no problem. And I'm sorry, but I don't know why it resolved when it did seem to be acting up before. Try resetting again maybe :?

[General Questions and Answers] rashmi22:
Hello,

I am a novice developer in android and I am trying to create game of Dots and Boxes. This will be a 2 player game and the player will be shown a grid of lines which are grayed out initially and as the player clicks on each link it will change to some color. Both the players continue to select the lines and the player scores whenever he completes a box on selecting a line. So for this, I need to dynamically create a grid with lines that are clickable, and the size of the grid can vary depending on the player selection, like 4X4 or 5X5 and so on. I am not able to go forward on how to develop a grid with lines that are clickable. One option I have thought of, is to create a grid view with Image buttons of lines, but I am not sure if this can be implemented correctly. Please help me by giving some idea on how I can proceed..

im sure most people wont need adb at school but some people might not know how and want to use adb at school if needed.

so at school (high school for myself) we don't have admin rights so we are unable to access cmd which is "sort of" needed for adb here is a quick guide with my very little knowledge.

1.How to get CMD:

as shown above if you where to try to open the admin has disabled it. now what your going to want to do is this

right click on desktop and open a new text document. (it can be notepad or another program not sure if word will work with it)

open it and type this into it:

[MENTION=279333]ECHO[/MENTION] off

command

comand.com

pause

then hit file, save as: Start.bat to the desktop as show in this image:

now on your desktop you should see a new file called start with some cogs on the icon and if you open it your get our honorable CMD.exe! (note, they disabled it for a reason dont be messin with school computers)

2.How to get ADB:

now the process to do this as well is not very hard, now we all know adb is a few hundred megabytes and we will never be able to

download it in time. we don't need all that sdk crap we just want to good ol adb. download the zip from this users thread here:

Be sure to give her a Thanks! : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926486

now your going to want to unzip it and when you try to open adb:

Dang it school why you do this :(

Now after your done sobbing its a pretty easy and simple fix, pretty much did what you did last time. instead, right click on RunMe that's in the miniADB folder and hit edit. (if you didn't extract it, it wont let you edit it) and type in what you typed in last time only deleting the cmd.exe in the line, you can keep it there but when you run RunMe it will say its disabled but when you hit a key on your keyboard, it will get rid of that.

there we go, now that we have adb start hacking away! happy Flashing!

I bought a 2013 N7 with the intention of installing it in a vehicle. I saw Timur's USB-ROM and was going to use that until I realized that he's not going to support the 2013 (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'd like to see if a ROM developer would be interested in integrating some of the features into their software. It looks to me like Elemental has a good thing going with their kernel, enabling fastcharge and OTG + charging so I was thinking of using that, but some things I would like to see in a ROM:

Sleep/wake on power state (key on/off - power would be hardwired)

External mic enabled (for BT call handling through TabletTalk)

USB Audio (for DAC)

Fixed landscape UI (can't lock landscape with 4.4 KRT16S)

Phone as USB modem

after having made the changes switch off the device to flush the data into the registry and then do a soft reset.

If you don't switch off the device the data (possibly) isn't written into the registry file.
