Hey guys,

I decided to share my horrible experience - as title says - with lost IMEI.

Some of you may remember that couple of months ago there were some posts here regarding lost IMEI and possible solutions and questions how is it possible to loose IMEI in the first place.

I remember at least three guys managed to do that by running "fastboot erase all".

What was my story?

Yesterday I decided to flash a new recovery (last two months I haven´t flashed anything and wasn´t active on the forum because of lack of time and I started to show signs of withdrawal syndrome :eek:). My first mistake was that I flashed non-gpe recovery to my device with GPE rom, obviously that couldn´t work because of incompatibility in file systems. Nevermind, that happened before and it´s easy to go back to a proper recovery. But not this time. Tried hundred times, but flashing with fastboot always ended up by "OKAY" but the old recovery remained in place for some reason unknown to me. And also the system wouldn´t boot. Out of desperation I ran "fastboot erase recovery", that wouldn´t help either. In the end I got out of the situation by booting (not flashing) to a proper recovery (fastboot boot recovery recovery.img) and restoring system from a nandroid backup. All seemed fine. ROM booted OK and then I realized I had no service and IMEI: unknown.

The only reason for that was obviously this unfortunate move: fastboot erase recovery. Anything else I did was pretty much "normal".

Here comes the second part of the story.

I downloaded my cloud-stored pds.img backup (lucky me I have it I thought to myself) but that didn´t prove to be of any use.

When running

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/pds.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds

as seen on

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537119

nothing happened. Dd ran too fast, just a fraction of a second and after reboot still IMEI: unknown.

To cut the long story short, after hours of searching for a possible solution (and thinking what would be my next phone) I finally came across this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45881991&postcount=86

and tried that very easy method and it worked!

Takeaway messages:

1. don´t use fastboot erase "all" or "recovery" (other partitions may be erased without problems)

2. pds partition backup and restore method didn´t work for me

3. working solution (at least for me):

Remove sim, flash stock firmware using standard methods, boot to home screen, power off, insert sim, reboot and your IMEI should be back!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deej_roamer:
Is it possible?

Probably your pds partition was never corrupted! IMEI was there the whole time and ROM had some problems?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfr:
Well, we don´t know what is happening exactly but we do know that a couple of people including me ran into problems after running fastboot erase all or fastboot erase recovery. I ´m describing here a method that could help the other guys or somebody else in the future.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deej_roamer:
Oh I am not criticising your work, I encourage it! I just pointed my point of view!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
Added to FAQ (in the lost IMEI section), i also think that contrary to an erase all, the IMEI was not exactly lost but not readable by system (file system issue? misread cluster reading frame ? no idea) and that would explain the recover fail in the first place.

this is cool you could recover it by flashing stock, so i added your story to FAQ in case it happens again to anyone :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denzel09:
Good to know. ;)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfr:
Just adding some more information after searching through old threads.

I can see there were some little differences between my situation (loosing IMEI after fastboot erase recovery) and the situation of those guys who ran fastboot erase all.

In my case, I was getting IMEI unknown, they were getting IMEI 0. My baseband was also unknown, but their showed some number, but a wrong one.

There was one thing which we had in common though. We were able to see our correct IMEIs through fastboot getvar all, but not inside the ROM.

So Mat, you are obviously right in supposing that the IMEI was still stored SOMEWHERE only the system couldn´t read it, but not only in my case.

Hopefully the other guys will be able to find this thread and try my method.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfr:
Sorry guys, I don´t know of any other method yet, but if you can see IMEI through fastboot getvar there SHOULD be a chance.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] TheFixItMan:
looked at your bug list and you can solve number 2 easily in future builds

if you want it working in the rom without uninstall/reinstall just do the following

decompile the apk

open lib\armeabi

copy libqpic134.so to system/lib in your rom zip

any app that you place in system if it has a lib file you must also place this lib file in system/lib
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Omar El- Hussien:
i tried this way by [MENTION=4954352]mohamedrashad[/MENTION]'s lib file he gave me ... But it Didn't work

also so need for un-install just install over the old one
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] TheFixItMan:
did the lib file match the same version of the apk from which it was taken?

you cant take a lib file from say version 1 and then use it with version 2 of the apk because the lib file from version 2 would be different

best to extract the lib file from what ever version of the apk you are using
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Omar El- Hussien:
it was the same version .. i think
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] TheFixItMan:
here is the latest quickpic apk and the lib file if you want to try adding it to the rom zip

Please lets not turn this thread into a flaming battle of who can or cannot port a rom and what is and what isnt better

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Faiz Malkani:
Both ROMs are ports based on different bases, so there was absolutely no reason for the flaming that took place. That said, it was bordering on racism and abuse. so I've cleaned the thread, but I've not handed out any infractions, yet. Keep it up and that will definitely change.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finch7:
Hi All,

I've seen a second hand I8190N (S3 mini) for sale that's locked to a UK carrier. I'm wondering if I can just flash the firmware with the unbranded French firmware...

I8190NXXAMG1.LPMAMG2 ( I believe)

so I can use it with French carriers?

I've had a read and a lot of people obviously say use the one for your carrier for warranty purposes. I'm not bothered about warranty in this case.

I did read one post saying you can flash any ROM but the phone will remain SIM locked?

There's so much info out there I'm struggling to find an answer. Anyone know the answer or point me at it?

You'll need root, sdfix and ESfile Explorer with root explorer enabled.

Using ESfile Explorer, find the feature_default.xml file in system/etc.

Copy to external sdcard and plug the phone into your pc.

Open file with notepad++ (Window pc) and clear read-only flag.

Find the section labelled <!-- Camera --> and edit the line <CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderMaxDuration>false</CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderMaxDuration> to read

<CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderMaxDuration>true</CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderMaxDuration>.

Save the file as feature.xml onto the sdcard.

Go back to ESfile Explorer and copy feature.xml to system/csc.

In properties, set file permissions to Owner read write, Group read, Other read.

Reboot.

Backup using titanium

Go into recovery

Backup using ClockworkMod

It's at this point where it lists backing up the system, but then it gets hung up backing up the data card. I have tried to go back in and delete everything I could possibly think of (w/out wiping the whole thing) but to no avail. I have cleared my cashe and even deleted the titanium backup which was around 1gb and still no dice.

Attached are some screenshots that may be helpful. There has to be something hidden but I just don't know where to look for it. I tried to install DiskUsage but I can't since I don't have enough room. How do I clear up this phone?! Any help would be much appreciated!!

You need at least 3GB of free space to make CWM able to create backup... but you won't find that backup in /sdcard/cloclworkmod folder :p it's in /storage/emulated/blablabla or something like that and you won't be able to get access there from your computer :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brahmaboba:
Ok, I'm not sure I understand. I'm in the emulated folder and went into the clockworkmod folder and keep descending and come to just 1 file that is just 7.63mb called "recovery-clockwork-....img". This can't be the solution, can it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkourz:
try in /storage/emulated/legacy/clockworkmod... or flash TWRP instead of CWM... if both won't help then you can try to make a backup with toolkit for PC, for example Wug's toolkit
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Twrp is showing the backup size and a poseibility to compress it. You probably have much apps or there is some .something fokder what is using much or much cache just like on an desktop. Many things can cause it.

You may want to checkout what is using so much by deleting old folders from old apps or old things yiu dint use anymore.

I try to get my mails pushed to my TyTN. Thus I enabled the appropriate services on my Exchange 2003 SP2 server, set the user permissioning and so on. I generated an P12 cert with my CA and imported it using p12import.exe on my tytn. I also installed .cer for the domain and for the CA on the mobile device. Thus I was able to sync and push. Now I am facing the following issue:

After successfully syncronizing and pushing for some hours, I regularely get an 0x85030027. Checking my certificate I can see that my p12 is gone. After reimporting it using p12import, i can change the server settings the following way to force an "reinitialisation" of the link between user settings and cert: I delete the "m" in "blabla.dynaccess.com", go forward to login information - the password is gone then - go back to the server, add the "m", go forward adding the password. Sometimes I am than able to sync again, sometimes I get an 0x85010004. In the latter case I must delete the whole server setting - loosing all my mails - and have set it once again.

Dealing with this issue now for several days and beeing unable to find any description or solution in this forum and the web, I kindly ask for any idea which could be considered beeing helpful...

PS.: Sorry for my English - it is not my native tongue ;-)

When you do a soft reset the personal Certificate disappears.

I can reimport it directly, but I need to hook it up to a PC in order to validate the Certificate.

Is there no other way. This is really annoying when i'm on a trip, and I have to soft reset the device.

Does anyone know hpw this can be done differently.

Hi all, as the title suggests, what once worked for me and im sure most of you no longer works for me.

I press the power button to get the menu. airplane mode, screen shot etc all work but when i press the option to power off nothing happens.

If i hold it down for a few seconds to get safe mode, this does work but instead reboots into safe mode which isnt what im after.

The only work around i have found is to remove my sim card which initiates a reboot.

Its not critical but not sure why all of a sudden this no longer works for me. Any ideas?
