[General Questions and Answers] wirelessguyNY:
Being that I posted this for others as much as myself I'll go ahead and answer my own question.

After using Odin to bring my S3 (i535) phone up to rev 4.1.1 of Android using the Verizon image (only updating the AP, not the bootloader or other elements) I found online, I was able to cable the device in to a PC running Kies. After performing a quick backup I looked for potential firmware updates and was able to have Kies do the upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.3. This removed most of my fear of applying something wrong (BL, AP, CP, CSC).

Once the update completed I was in fact asked to update to the new Kies 3 before restoring my backup. I can verify that running that update was smooth and the new Kies restored the backup created with the earlier version without issue.

The non Verizon SIM issue still exists on 4.3 but I continue to kill the Setup Wizard app after booting the phone and all seems OK.

I should also note that in 4.1.1 Verizon removed the ability to add APNs but that is now back in 4.3, so I was able to successfully update to the T-Mobile APN settings Walmart Family suggested.

Next month I will be attempting to move an unlocked global S3 mini GT-i8190 to Walmart Family as well. At present, the 4.1.2 OS is the latest release there. I do not intend to move that device to 4.3 at this time. I have read that it may be possible to rest the device and list is as Romanian (or some other eastern European country where Samsung did decide to offer the newest version to the public).

I'm having problems using safestrap (lastest) to install any 4.4 rom on the droid 4. I do it, like I've done any other rom, and the phone vibrates and then it restarts, I'll try to post a video of my completely process, but is there something I'm missing when it comes to safestrap and 4.4?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rosystreasures:
I am now on 4.4.2 NC5 and was able to root using CFroot.

However, any recovery I try to install has about the same result: the screen right before recovery bootloops. I must take out the battery, boot into odin and cancel. Then it boots normally.

I even went so far as to use GooManager to install twrp. Same deal.

This also happened on 4.3 MJ4.

I have tried odin 1.86 anf 3.07. I have a feeling it is on the phone, I mean, I can do a hard reset into recovery. Android recovery is there with a android on his back with a red exclamation.

At this point, I am unable to flash anything :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rosystreasures:
Thought I would try to odin the nc5 bootloader. It gave me the kernel upload error message. I am now reinstalling nc5 oneclick restore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Try using twrp version 2.7.0.1 and Odin 3.09...never had any problems with those. When you used cfroot, you did get the screen with the red pirate android saying it rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rosystreasures:
Yes, I saw the red pirate android :)

I will find odin 3.09 and try that.

I am confused about installing twrp in odin. Do I want the .img file or the .img.tar file?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
I always use the tar file and works. Your phone is fine though, just need to get the root and recovery to stick. When all else fails though..rj's one clicks are life savers and at least get you back to stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rosystreasures:
FInally got 3.09 installed. I believe I use AP??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Yea, use the ap box.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rosystreasures:
OMG!! It worked!!! I got twrp!!!

ty!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Glad it worked, make sure to flash SU...and then you'll be golden!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rosystreasures:
got that too!! I Am sssooo excited!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Now that you have all that done...make a backup in twrp..I always make one right after I root and install recovery so if I ever have to go back to the start, I use that instead of having to use the one click method. If you haven't used twrp, I always make a backup of the boot, data, and system and save to the card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rosystreasures:
I am doing it right now. oops, just finished.

I need some help with a htc amaze that wont boot past htc screen
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
won't boot past HTC screen

Why would you want to repair it before you bury it--wouldn't you then be burying a perfectly good phone?

Wanna give us a little more to go on? Since you made it to the HTC screen, let me hunch that you unlocked it, installed a recovery, installed a rom, rebooted and got stuck?

Have you flashed other ROM's successfully?

Which recovery? 4EXT has a "Smart Flash" setting you might have to enable if you are not S-Off.

Did you follow any "how to install a rom" instructions available here on the XDA site, found by doing a search?

The steps outlined numerically in Hasoon's toolkit provide an easy path to upgrade.

Are you coming from Ginger Bread and trying to directly install some other base ROM, such as Ice Cream Sandwich, or Jelly Bean, or KitKat?--That won't work without first upgrading the phone's firmware with the official release.

So look around a little and see if perhaps there is already an answer.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
What's the problem again?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
To change the cid you have to s-off if you cant s-off then just flash a recovery and flash a rom according to your firmware
[HTC Amaze 4G] alf785:
htc amaze

i tried to reflash with ruu , the phone is with wind mobility , said firmware is newer than the ruu im trying to flash with , its at h boot 1.93.002 and s is on and i tried to flash with ota and said that the cid didn't match , i need some kinda flash that's newer than the h boot or help me figure it out please !!!!!!!!!!! oh and my partitions in the internal sd arent showing size and i flashed ext4 recovery but can get anywhere with that either , im at my wits end
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Since you're hboot is 1.93.002 I guess your in ics firmware so.. Go to 4ext recovery, go to tools and enable smart flash, then flash ARHD or energy rom and reboot back to recovery through power menu in 4ext recovery. and if you get a message like smart flash or something like that read it and say yes or no (it's been way to long since I last went through this procedure personally but I kinda remember I got a message like that) if you don't get any just simply reboot and you'll have a working device.. If you want to change the cid go through s-off and do it.. There's a guide I'm general section by a senior member called AJ refer to that :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
1.flash 4ext recovery

Go to aj's thread my steps are more detailed in there

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ox16mtk02zoi3qf/PH85IMG.zip

If you have a hard time flashing 4ext recovery from all in one kit use it.. (REMOVE EVERY FILE INSIDE IT EXCEPT FOR THE ONE CALLED "recovery.img" and place it in your ext_sd card and go to bootloader and follow instructions) unlock the bootloader 1st if it's locked...

[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Your bootloader was unlocked when you did this?

It's in the general section as (guide for unbranded htc amaze) OR something similar it'll be easy to find its in the very top
[HTC Amaze 4G] eudemonics:
you should be able to get it working by just flashing the stock image in fastboot..

you'll need to re-lock your bootloader for this to work.

grab the appropriate stock image for your phone and carrier (must be newer than the bootloader) from here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Amaze_4G/ROMs#Stock_ROMs

(i think this one - the ZIP file under wind stock image - is yours: http://d-h.st/7kW)

save it as "PHP85IMG.ZIP" and put it into the root of your microSD card. then hold down POWER and VOL DOWN to boot into fastboot.

follow the instructions to apply the update and reboot.

I cant get anywhere , i know i need s-off and cant and i tried supercid and get no where , i need to figure out how to repair the messed up partitions and then im sure i can flash but ive spent weeks on this phone and cant get it , i fixed lots of tablets and phones in the past but this one is the worst ive ever dealt with

What mini 2 model have you? If you have gt-s6500d (non-nfc model) you can solve this problem flashing the pit file by odin. If you have nfc model (gt-s6500) like me you can't solve the problem because there isn't a pit file for this model and the non-nfc one doesn't work :(.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickarooney:
I tried flashing a SlimBean ROM earlier and since then my IMEI has disappeared. I obviously can't connect to any networks as a result.

I have a backup of the efs folder which was made a while back when I first got to the phone and unlocked it with an app called

Galaxy_S Unlock but having tried to restore the efs with that app the problem persists.

Is there some foolproof way of restoring the IMEI from this backup? It's a folder called efs with an IMEI folder inside and a bunch of other stuff.

The /efs folder on the phone's memory is empty and I can't change the permissions on it with Android terminal emulator or es file manager.

Otherwise is there any way of getting the phone up and running again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerRomtester:
Delete everything in the efs folder with root explorer or any file browser. Than copy your backup into this empty folder reboot your phone and imei is back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickarooney:
This doesn't work, unfortunately. I don't understand why not, but I'm still left with a blank IMEI when I restart.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickarooney:
After flashing a MIUI ROM I had lying about I now finally have an IMEI number, but it seems to be some phony number as the SIM card still won't work and I get a message about an invalid IMEI from the OS.

IMEI: 004999010640000

IMEI SV: 01

I can actually make calls so I guess this is some kind of progress. I'm scared to put a usable ROM on there now though!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerRomtester:
Flash to stock with odin and imei should be back. But i dont understand why my method doesnt work. It always worked for me. I deleted all files in the efs folder and than i copied every single file from the backup folder into the efs folder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickarooney:
I finally got it sorted with this:

http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?t...40000-instead-of-unique-original-number.1876/

Thanks for the help.

And just for anyone in a similar situation, this method will not work if SlimBean is installed. I had to use a JB MIUI ROM to get it to work and when I flashed SlimBean again it wiped my IMEI once more and the unlock tool would not fix it.
