[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Najahmas:
i flashed the stock rom with odin and it went perfectly well. when it rebooted...bootloop happened! :confused::( im going out of my miiind! i tried everything. but still boot loop? what do you think could be causing the boot loop? the firmware is completly fresh and the installation went perfectly well. what could be wrong with the phone that it still has boot loop.:crying: awaiting your reply

:(:(:(:(

update: when i went to the recovery menu, it was in the log in red colour "E:failed to mount /efs (file too large)"

update: i have the efs backup i made with gs_repair app. The backup include 2 files named efs_save.tar and efs_save.tar.gz

i also have a copy of the efs folder in normal file format that i made previously using root explorer.so i made a .img file of that folder so mayybe it can be restored that way

Update: i realised why this happened in the first place. its because i deleted the contents of efs file completely. so now after i browsed the root of the phone with aroma installers browser, i found that there was nothing in efs folder
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
You need to restore a efs backup.I would suggest you to either flash philz kernel via odin and restore it from recovery or with this tool

xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/tool-updated-08-12-13-efs-professional-t1308546
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Najahmas:
i tried to back up efs with the .tar file from philz kernal custom restore. but the tar file dosent showup. so i used the .img backup and it showed up.so i restored the efs with it and it was successful. then i rebooted the phone and guess, after the initial, (samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 screen) with the exclamation mark inside the triangle, it goes blank and stays that way. the next screen with the flashing samsung sign dosent show up. (no bootloop)

so i started again. i installed the stock rom and I flashed the philz kernal via odin. And this time i was going to use efs professional to restore efs. but when i connect it says usb debugging is not enabled.

Also when i went to root folder using aroma installer it showed that i had no files in the boot folder in my root folder. I checked for hidden files but there were none. could this be why my phone is not booting even after restoring efs?

So how do i enable usb debugging while in recovery menu?

Are there programs that can like, temporarily boot the phone using bootloaders or something?(this is just an idea)

btw i would appriciate if you could attach a screen shot of your root folder so i can check if there are any differences. thank you. i havent been this close to fixing my phone. so im not going to give up just yet

what is the meaning of "unlocking the phones bootloader"?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Hey

Ok,this will surely do the trick.Follow this guide to flash 3 part stock jb firmware

xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831

This will completely wipe your phone,so backup all the important files to you to your pc.And be sure to copy all your efs backups also because this is vital(it's your imei,serial etc.).You will restore it later with efs professional.

Don't worry,you will get your phone back.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Najahmas:
Thank you. :) this website needs more people like you. i will try try what this guide suggests and get back to you when i succeed. :)

again, thank you for your continious help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Najahmas:
hey again,

i tried your 3 part stock firmware flash.everything went perfectly well in the begining. but even after the flash there is still bootloop. when i went to recovery menu it said E:failed to mount /efs (file too large)

what do i do now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Try to fix permissions through recovery.

I would advice you to flash Philz kernel again.Then,with the help of Aroma File Manager,check the contents of efs folder.I think that your previous restoration somehow failed.

Also,I remember that some users with the same problem were able to boot by flashing stock ICS firmware and then restored their lost efs by using EFS Professional.But you'll have to search around a bit about this infamous ICS's eMMC brickbug and take precautions if you will end up trying that.Don't hurry with this.

Other option is to boot into recovery and restore your efs backup again using ADB with EFS Professional.

Search around here for tutorials how to use ADB.

I would strongly suggest you to take your time,do some search and learn some stuff about this.As it's very hard for us to fix your phone remotely.

This is a good lesson to never mess with EFS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Najahmas:
hi,

is there any way i can enable usb debugging without booting. because obviously i cant boot because of bootloop. i am trying to restore my efs with efs pro. but it says usb debugging is not enabled. is it possible to boot my phone using fastboot temporarily for me to enable it? or is there a recovery kernal that i can flash that can enable usb debugging? i would appriciate if you could send me a link to such a kernal
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
S2 doesn't support fastboot.And I don't know any way of how to enable usb debugging using recovery.Try to search for it.

Did you looked at your efs folder using aroma file manager?

As you said that you have the whole efs folder backup,so maybe try to overwrite your corrupted one with it.

Also,you could learn how to use ADB,and restore efs this way by using certain commands in adb shell.No usb debugging enabled is required.

Or try flashing ICS,then you may get a phone that boots even with corrupted efs and then restore it using EFS Pro.

You need to learn some stuff if you want to get your phone back!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Najahmas:
i did look at my efs folder using aroma file manager and it showed that there was nothing in the efs folder. I tried copying my efs backup into the efs folder but nothing happens.By the way is there a trusted site which have links to download ICS rom without any brick bugs?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
XWLP7 from this thread is safe to flash

xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701

Hope you'll be able to boot.It would make things much easier.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Najahmas:
OMG it worked!!!!! it worked!!!! my phone booted succesfully!! you are the greatest!!. thank you for help!!

ok now what? :)

i started using efs pro. i have no idea how to operate it. ca you tell me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Great!

So,you have no signal,imei and so on.Thus,you need to restore the efs backup.Try first with GSII_Repair app,because you made your backup with it.

edit:

As for EFS Pro,honestly,I never used it,because never had problems with my efs:angel:,so I can't help you with that.All the info you need is in its OP and thread if you gonna use it.:good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Najahmas:
gsII_repair app works when busybox. is it safe to install busybox? last time i installed it my phone bricked

i tried gsii_repair app without it,but it dosent do the back up
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Flash ICS Philz kernel,which is rooted and already has busybox.Don't worry it's brickbug free.

Hi guys, here's a question for ya's:

Right now, i want to chage my phone via USB, and be conected to my phone's 3g (Three australia) network.

However, because it's connected via ActiveSync, it won't let me...

My idea, is to close ActiveSync, and away i go, but i can't, everytime i end the task, from task manager, it just re-opens straight away..

Do any of you guys know, how i can charge my phone via usb, and connect to a 3g/gprs network? Without resorting to pulling out the usb cable?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tonyb15re:
go into activesync settings and turn off USB Sync.. tis easy ;)

File > Connection Settings > Allow USB Connections

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dankoman:
​

Check this out... works great with Nexus 5. I modified mine a bit so I could adapt it to work with my existing RAM mount setup on my dash, but I am pleased with the results.

One thing to note, however - the mount comes with a couple of steel plates, one of which normally needs to be mounted inside a case. If you don't use a case, you don't need a plate because the Nexus 5 has four steel discs built into the back cover already that the magnet in the magicMOUNT is more than powerful enough to hold on to. If you do use a case, you're going to have to use one of the plates because the added thickness moves the built-in steel discs too far away from the magnet for a good grip. If you use wireless charging, do not install the plate in the center of the case as it will block the induction coils and wireless charging will not work. Instead, offset the plate to one end like I did.

You can get this directly from Scosche for $19.99 plus shipping at http://www.scosche.com/magicmount and there are currently three different variations to choose from. Okay, on to the pics:

​
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hOrnizuka:
Does it block NFC?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dankoman:
not where i positioned it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
Looks like most of them are sold out. I was actually interested in the power one. I know it probably makes more sense to use a wireless charger, but in case I don't need to charge my phone I can just use the magnet to hold my phone. Plus the price isn't bad. It says 15-16 weeks delivery though....

Edit: Just called them up and the power mount is a new product. So I guess we have to wait 4 months.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zydus:
All this needs is a qi charger built in and it will be the perfect car mount.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
Ok, luckily I checked and the one you bought is back in stock. [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION], how long did the shipping take? I'm also from Philly. I chose the USPS shipping though, so I guess it depends which shipping you bought.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dankoman:
2 days with the cheapest shipping option.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
Oh ok that's pretty quick. And they shipped it out right away? I suppose I will prob have to wait a bit longer since I ordered it on a Friday evening. Also, how many different steel plates did it come with? And since the magnet plate sticks to the back of the N5 if putting it inside the case, does that make it hard to take off the case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] petard:
Just rig up a mount for the official Nexus 5 Qi charger. It works perfect. I adhered it right above my radio's LCD, the phone attaches firmly. I've had it like this for a month and it's never fallen off. Wrote some tasker scrips to make it truly awesome.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
I don't understand...at first it said the one you had was sold out. The following day it said it was back so I ordered it. Now I checked and it said pre-order only and it will ship in two weeks...that's kind of BS.
