It really isn't a brick, The Tab charges but doesn't boot so I removed the case and found out the the shiny button thingy was gone and now I don't know what to do :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
Lol, what shiny button thingy? Don't you have like, 3 tabs? If you don't mind risking another tab, try taking the "shiny button thingy" from the other tab and put it in the faulty one.

*DISCLAIMER* I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING IF YOUR OTHER TAB GOES HAYWIRE. YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT BLAME ME FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS NEXT.

If you don't have another tab, then just pretend you did not see this post. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
So I opened my other tab and and took a look at the button and found out that it was identical to foil so I grabbed a small piece of foil and place it under the power button and it helped! Thanks for the help!

If you are using single file in pda make sure "re-partition"is NOT checked.

If single file fails look for multi files with pit and try. If therer is pit filr re-partition will automatically be checked. Cheers

Hey all can anyone tell me what is tweak? Means?

And i'm on cm11 am i need it?

And how to do it if?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] black87:
Tweak is of optimization. Tweak can means Overclock, Debloat, RAM optimization, etc

On cm11 tweak (Overclock) is optional because not everyone need high-speed CPU. but Ram optimization in needed by me.:D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Showman2020:
Thanks so much

So it's good to make it?

How can i make it for my grand cm11 :D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] black87:
For overclock just flash one of the kernel availabe for CM11 (k2wl's Evolution kernel or xenon92's Nebula kernel)

then press the build number in "about phone" 7-10 times (im forgot). The performance setting will appear in settings menu (not "about phone"). Grant superuser if asked. then change the governor or cpu clock. JUST, dont overclock your cpu too high because its only drain your battery quickly and shorten the CPU life:D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] raghavsharmaxda:
Build number :P...seven times....

And nebula will include performance control app anyway :P

Hello everyone

i tryed to flash TWRP recovery image via minimal ADB and Fastboot, but now i can't access the recovery. when i select recovery in fastboot mode it restarts, the screen turns blach for 3 sec and than it restarts again and boot into the normal mode.

i also tryed to flash the stock recovery.img, but there is the same problem.

does someone know how to solve this problem ?
[HTC One S] blackat13:
hi I have a big problem. Yesterday I try to put on my htc one s cyanogen mod 10.2.0. First of all i unlock the bootloader and flash via fastboot twrp recovery and everything it's ok. I put my rom into sd card partition with adb and i try to install it in recovery mode. The installation doesn't work so i try to restore my phone with the backup that i have previously done with twrp. I don't understand how, but the backup doesn't worked and now i have my phone without an OS. When i try to install a rom i can't because twrp tell me the error can't mount sd card. PLEASE HELP ME! how can i restore my phone? There is a way??
[HTC One S] Mozziliac:
Try updating to the 2.15 hboot and re-flash a newer (If possible) TWRP or CWM.

Sounds like either a firmware issue, or physical damage.
[HTC One S] jay-em-ass:
If this doesn`t help try to restore your phone completely by executing an RUU.

To do this boot your device into the bootloader, connect it to the PC and run the .exe

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
:) thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] stefan.slavici:
On which folder is EFS saved ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
/data/media/SamsungTool/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] stefan.slavici:
Shouldn't this be better saved on external storage ?!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
i will add that option in next version but internal in more secure as sdcard can get lost, damaged, corrupt etc..

thanks for the idea though! :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] george stamatos:
I copy the. img file in xtsd. In case of emergency can i restore it in original file, will it work or will be corrupted or something?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
you can copy it to external, aslong as when/if you wanna restore put back in the SamsungTool folder!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] george stamatos:
Of course!! Very helpful tool, although we pray that we never have to use it.!!!!! Thanks again!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
hahaha! dont we all!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
External SD support would be perfect!

Some roms with aroma installer ask for a clean wipe and if you say yes, internal is also wiped, byby backup

Maybe call me overcarefull, but i do copy nandroid backups and other backups, to my desktop pc (Luckly i never had a faulty SD, but there's a 1st time for everything :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
your correct as sdcard is located in /data/media , and when some wipes wipe /data they forget to exclude media and sdcard is wiped!

i will add external sd support ASAP!

Great tool man just submitted this as a news tip. :) :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] srv.abhishek:
correct me guys if i am wrong but wiping the sdcard doesn't affect the EFS.. i have wiped sdcard sometimes and deselected modem in ROMs.. still things go fine

my understanding is that when sdcard is wiped, .../storage/sdcard contents are deleted.. the efs however is under /
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dhirend_6d:
Yes you are correct. But they are talking about something else. :p :p

This app backups /efs partition on internal SD card.

So during installing ROMs/using AROMA installer and stuff like that, sometimes it requires to do a complete wipe. And the internal SD card also requires wiping (Also during changing CSC, internal SD gets wiped). So, in that scenario, the backup would get deleted. And hence the requirement of backing up to external SD card.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] west421:
In this case you are right.But ........... i have an EFS backup made in 06.11.2013 on internal SD.Since 06.11 i reinstalled probably 11 times different ROM's.My EFS backup .tar.gz and .img is still there.I think that wipe do not touch backup files and folders.

When I download the file , it's zipped. And when I extract it , I don't see any apk . Can you please explain how to use this tool because it's not in the OP . Thanks .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
Some file managers rename the .apk to .zip when you download the file.

So you can rename the file extension or redownload using a pc, just change the file extension there when it asks you how to save it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Brawler7:
Thanks . Renamed the file and installed . Did the backup to external SD , but when I look in the Samsung Tool folder , it's empty . I have the international version , G900F. Did I overlooked something ?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
How large is the backup? I have found that some other methods yield a backup of the wrong partition. The backup will be at least 10 mb in size I think.

Also, you may as well help Ricky support your device for others that wish to use this nice tool. ;)

Here is the article posted on XDA developers for this utility by [MENTION=3544509]eagleeyetom[/MENTION] explaining a bit about EFS.

In a nutshell, if this partition gets corrupted, you will not be able to use your phone.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/backup-your-efs-partition-with-easy-to-use-app/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
I don't think that file size is correct for your phone so it is possible it is not getting the correct partition. Ricky will probably be adding some additional troubleshooting stuff to the app and the OP so stick around and maybe you can get this resolved soon too.

Edit: Ninja'd by Ricky. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] meanhacker:
I have an SGH-I747 and it created a backup in /storage/extSdCard instead of /storage/sdcard1 so I had to manually move the (13.62MB) backup to the external SD card. Haven't tried restoring, but if I ever will need to I will use your app to do so. Also, the dialogs don't feel natural, but as long as the app works, I'm fine with it. Thanks :good:

I've subscribed to this this thread. Thank you for your work on this. This is a great resource. I've got a Verizon Samsung Note 2 (SCH-I605) and I have TWRP recovery which lets me easily backup my EFS.... but for people who took the most recent OTA on the SCH-I605, they ended up with a locked bootloader. The Saferoot method works to give them root access and I could see how this tool would be a really easy way for those people to backup and restore their EFS. I'll plan to let others in that situation know about your tool if they ask for help on the SCH-I605 threads. :)

I looked at this with Bing translate. Link is for translation to English, give it a few seconds to translate the entire page.

http://www.microsofttranslator.com/...g_galaxy_s5_efs_sichern_wiederherstellen.html

This tool does not backup imei specifically. As far as I know, it is very rare to corrupt imei so this may be a good idea for full backup of the phone information to use QPST utility (phone dialer code and other information may be different for using QPST for different phones, so that guide will not completely work for everyone).

Edit: And for corrupt imei, there are other methods to fix corrupt imei without having qpst backup.
