dude, i used the same pudding tw file and lost baseband and imei.but later i flashed with official android 4.1.2 ftf file which removed bootloop problems but still i dont have imei or baseband.i have flashed many c5502/c5503 roms and basebands but there was no use.i think the pudding ftf file could be the reason...
[Sony Xperia ZR] ayushag96:
Easy fix ;)

The same thing happened to me. Baseband and IMEI were unknown suddenly.

Then I did a factory reset, wiped all caches and flashed cm-11 followed by GAPPS & I got back network.

It was a pain to reinstall all apps and do all the same settings again though.

I remember seeing a stickie on the sp thread. That was a good guide to rooting etc.

The same was appearing in more than one sub forum. Why can't we have such a stickie here?

I am waiting for my ZR.
[Sony Xperia ZR] xperia_loser:
Actually, I was on Beanstalk (CM based) first, which I can use normally with IMEI and baseband on. I lost them as my nephew touched the "plane" icon. So, the problem was on CM.

For the 'lost' wording, I dont think we lose IMEI and baseband but actually the phone fails to connect to IMEI and baseband data.
[Sony Xperia ZR] xperia_loser:
I've tried that but bootloop occured.

On US ftf, no bootloop but wifi cannot be turned on.

On Beanstalk, everything's fine but no IMEI and baseband.

I am using my phone as a paperweight with wifi-connection and good gaming experience, lol

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skny:
Howdy all - been doing a lot of reading about rooting & custom ROM's and am looking for a little bit of clarification.

My Note 3 had MI9 when I got it and I took the OTA to make it MJ7.

I have root working well & paid version of Titanium Backup installed.

I have Safe Strap 3.65 installed as well.

1. For Titanium Backup - I've done app/system backup. I would use that backup if I froze or uninstalled an app and experienced a problem and needed to unfreeze or reinstall a particular app - correct?

2. For Safe Strap - if I install a custom ROM - I am starting over on my phone from scratch, correct? I would need to setup EVERYTHING - accounts, apps, music, ringtones, calendars, wallpapers, the whole nine yards, right? I can't utilize my Titanium backup to restore any of those settings or apps, can I? I'm just trying to figure out the quickest method to get the phone "re-setup" to my liking after a custom rom or reset.

3. Last question - if I wanted to put my phone back to un-rooted and without Safe Strap - say to turn it back into Verizon at some point - would I just need to use the regular download mode (I believe that's also referred to as Odin - or is Odin something else?) and install a stock MJ7 tar to get it back to that state?

Also, I saw a post that had MJ7 tar & modem - I don't need both, right? The tar would include the modem. The modem is available separate if I wanted to install just that modem, on say, MI9 or something.

I think that's all I need. Just want to make sure I'm prepared for whatever I do in the near future. With Titanium Backup - I've got a pretty nicely running de-bloated phone - so don't know that I "need" a custom ROM - but I like to tinker - so I will probably experiment a little depending on what all the available custom roms have in them.

Thanks for helping me clear these things up!

I would like to buy a second power adapter and googling hasn't resulted in anything I'd call exact.

LG's part number is mcs-04wr2. It outputs 5V, 1.8a.

Any ideas?

[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] mnemix:
Any 5V 2A

Hey guy, you can use any Power Adaptor with 5V and 2A. I'm using the original one at home and the one of my older Galaxy Tab 7.7 at work. You can buy any at eBay, Amazon, Aliexpress... But I prefer the Samsung original one, the Power Adaptor for S4 or Note 3 are little and light and works fine, and isn't over 15€ in Spain.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] cbb77:

My generic cellphone charger works fine
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] RobilarOCN:
Agreed pretty much any wall to USB adapter should work. It can charge off a PC USB port.

all you really need is a mini USB to USB cord and a generic wall charger.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] woody1:
I think an iPad adapter would work, too, just use a microSD cable with it.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] ASW1:
The original charger is 1.8 Ah, so any charger of 1.8 or higher will do.

Chargers lower than 1.8 Ah will also work fine, but will take longer for a full charge.

A light phonecharger of i.e. 0.5 Ah will take quite a bit more time.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedme:
Hi everyone,

I am in the opportunity to swap my S4 with a Note 3, but the person claims this Note 3 is from Korea.

I am wondering if it's fake or not.

Screenshot he sent me : https://app.box.com/s/enjy529pg077nemwyc5j

It looks real, but I never heared about a Korean version (however Samsung is Korean, so it could very well be a normal version)

Can you guys tell if this is the real deal ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emyllis:
Why would he want to swap (no offense) it unless something extra is in for him? It's like going from a super top of the range car to a phone that was top of the range 12 months ago...

Surely in Korea he (in a gadget filled world) be able to supply a picture of his phone in action, e.g. with him holding it and with a piece of paper with his email address and yours written on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthickkatta:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedme:
Sometimes people buy something and regret it within a few days.

And then they are looking for something simular, but smaller in size.

I have swapped phones many times and always had a very good deal out of it.

However one should always be very aware of fake (Chinese clones) phones.

And since the Chinese are getting better and better in cloning, it's sometimes really hard to see the difference.

I believe I have found the answer in the meantime myself : http://www.needrom.com/mobile/hdc-gt-n9000/

It's indeed a fake.....HDC GT-N9000 with a MTK6589 chipset

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Yup, Anything can be cloned to look the part, heck even the software clone itself is close enough until closer inspection. - Golden rule I guess in buying a second hand model.

Make sure you give it a really good test run, test the apps, have a look at the battery and insides to make sure that it says SAMSUNG (A few have SUMSANG believe it or not!) - As mentioned elsewhere, a genuine seller will have no objections to you looking over it. Oh and never ever buy blind - if you ain't seen it or felt it in your hand, it ain't worth the risk of a scam.

[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
The freegee backup is not nessesary for anything. If your phone is running stock firmware, i recommend root it using framaroot, and unlock bootloader with freegee. This will install a recovery.

If you already have TWRP, delete script lines of CWM recovery and install it. If you dont know how to do it tell me.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
Freegee backup is your efs and boot files for later use if required. Save them in dropbox or something they are very handy in bad times.

If you are already unlocked with freegee than you have a custom recovery just boot into recovery and update the recovery using zip. Like the cwm one I have posted.

Yes if you are not unlocked, use the old freegee.apk
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Freegee backup folder for efs is VERY IMPORTANT. it's the only way to recover imei if something goes wrong. So,never underestimate this thing. Always have the freegee folder placed somewhere safe.
