You can use the efs.img that you got.

dd if=/storage/extSdCard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

It will rewrite the whole block and efs will hopefully be fine.

is this supposed to solve the imei problem aswell, because when i flash it it doesnt work for me?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasim799:
imei is not stored in efs on this device so by simply flashing efs will not solve your imei problem you will need boxes to restore it.

How to reformat mmcblk0p11?? Thanks a lot for the info, i have this problem too :/
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
er why would you reformat it? Just flash over it - it'll wipe over the data block with the new file given.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarSanMar:
Hi, this partition is the internal storage no? My internal storage not mount and have 0.00 bytes :/

sry for my english.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Before you do that, just flash the stock rom in odin and see if that works?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarSanMar:
yes but not work for me :/, the storage appears be only read. all the changes made will lose when i restart :/

I have the EFS partition unmount, i can mount with this command:

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /efs

Is correct for Galaxy S3 mini (GT-I8190)?

then when i use "mount" command on adb, shows efs partition mounted :) (until restart)

then I try to restore the backup EFS with EFS Professional but my backup does not work

I hope to solve the problem of internal memory and the factory mode first u.u

Thanks a lot!

[Moto G General] lost101:
The first Moto E firmware images are now available. Anyone interested in experimental flashing / porting? If this works on Moto G, it could be a lighter alternative ROM - providing a performance boost. I mean from the perspective that the firmware should be more optimized considering the Moto E's weaker CPU.

This thread was created to discuss the potential of the Moto E firmware running on Moto G; to identify if it is even possible, and any weaknesses or advantages flashing it might present. The components of the two devices do not appear that different. If this firmware has been engineered to perform better on slower hardware; installing it on the Moto G could result in some performance gain.
[Moto G General] dethrat:
Clinging on the misguided hope I see.

Optimising for one platform e.g dual core doesn't automatically mean better on quad core.

In all likelihood it will be the exact same source code just different drivers and wallpapers.

After all why would they optimise the moto e and not pass on the benefits especially since the moto g 4g is coming.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidex:
Hi folks,

I am trying to get the content off a Kies .spb file that remained from some back-up on my previous Galaxy S2 phone. I have a Note 3 at the moment and Kies 2.* versions do not work with it so I tried using Kies 2 version in Windows and load the file into it, but it requests file password before loading it. I do not remember the file password and do not think that such was set for the file at all ever. Probably some Kies 2.* back-up thing.

I also tried adding .vcf extension to the file but it is not recognised by the Note 3 phone.

My question is if there is any program that could excerpt the contents of the .spb file so I can load this somehow and use them in my new device? Apparently I cannot use Kies 2 directly as it requests a password and the .spb file itself being in the Note 3 phone is not read by it when I try to use it for integration with the phone Contacts. I tried loading the same file with changed .vcf extension to the phone and also importing the contents into the device from the menu, this way a very short message appears and almost immediately after this I am returned to the start screen. Probably the message is about 'impossiblity for reading/adding the contacts'.

So, to summarise, two directions: 1. Opening the .spb file under Windows somehow, even with Kies 2.* but going beyond the password request, or 2. A way to convert the .spb file somehow into another format so I can use it directly, through the computer or on the phone.

The motherboard of my Galaxy S2 died and since all my contacts were on the device they were lost. I can't recover them from Google since I think I disabled this option. The only option I think is this .spb file that I found by chance worrking around getting my Note 3 connected to the computer, this time with Kies 3.*.

Thanks for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rwilco12:
Hey everyone - sorry this has taken so long to get posted. I've been out of town and am just getting back in and caught up.

First, a HUGE thanks goes [MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] for working with me on all these one-clicks. Second, thanks goes to [MENTION=4725598]DR_CDMA[/MENTION] for posting the original TAR here.

This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock ND8 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.

There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.

This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.

This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock ND8 experience, similar to a factory restore and

it may wipe all data

. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.

Instructions:

1:

Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.

During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.

2:

Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).

Samsung Drivers Download Link

3:

Download the ND8 Stock ROM One-Click.

SPH-L710_ND8_Full Restore_UNROOTED (Compressed Archive).exe (Resets user data)

4:

Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).

5:

Start the Odin One-Click.

Navigate to the location where the SPH-L710_ND8_Full Restore_UNROOTED.exe was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.

Double-click on SPH-L710_ND8_Full Restore_UNROOTED.exe. *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.

6:

Place phone in Download Mode.

- Power phone completely off.

- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.

- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.

- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.

7:

Connect USB cable to PC and phone.

Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.

8:

Start Odin flash process.

Press [Start].

9:

Complete - PASS!

Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.

Android Instructions:

It is not recommended to flash this build using Mobile Odin. There have been reports of devices being hard bricked from doing so.

The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G logo screen.

Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore ND8 build!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rwilco12:
Actually I need to update the OP. I copied and pasted an old one and missed a line. This should not wipe data as Samsung has quit including the wipe commands in their releases. This is still a full restore in the sense that everything but user data is wiped and restored to factory defaults. You should be good with this as your no data but please still make a nandroid or other backup just in case.

Hi [MENTION=4513677]rwilco12[/MENTION], thanks for your work as always!

I wanted to mention, since you may not have seen in your catching up, that at least one user tried using Mobile Odin with the original stock ND8 tar and it hard bricked their phone.

I wasn't sure if you wanted to delete your directions on how to use your one click with Mobile Odin in case it causes a hard brick too, and just leave your warning that it's not a suggested method and that doing so hard bricked at least one user's phone.

You're welcome!

True dat. Good reminder, at least two or three people have mentioned that their 32GB internal SPH-L710s now think that they are 16GB ones. I'm amazed that no 32GB stock user has been found yet who took the OTA instead.

Well if any 32GB users have had this issue, I know how to fix it at least. You need the 32GB PIT file for your exact model and just have Odin flash the ND8 with the PIT file and have Repartition checked and load the PIT file with the button labeled PIT. I just did it and I'm all fixed up.

Any way to do this without Knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Not if you want it to boot

It's really not all that bad, it doesn't prevent you from doing anything you would normally do, flash eons etc. Just make sure you don't flash an MK3 stock tar or MD4 stock tar and you're good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adamryanx:
I won't be able to reset the flash counter if I use Knox though, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
There are two counters with knox now.

There's the warranty bit, which is tripped from 0 to 1 when you flash a custom recovery/kernel, and the flash counter we've always had that you can still reset.

Warranty bit cannot be reset to 0 though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adamryanx:
My phone's probably no longer under warranty but I just wanna know if there's gonna be some annoying count I have to expect to see every time I do something in Download Mode. That'd drive me crazy seeing it. I'd rather just throw the phone away and start over if that's the case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The text is so small in the upper left corner of Download mode it's hard to even read, much less get annoyed by it, in my opinion.

It just says

warranty = 1

instead of

warranty = 0

Yup. That's what I had to do. I hate how CM just springs these updates that require a drastic change like a new radio, but don't inform users of it.

Sure, most users may find out from XDA or something like that, but I'm not on here as often. Or I used to not be. After the snafu earlier this year in April where I couldn't get LTE because of a CM bump and then a month ago where the same thing happened again, it's a bit ridiculous.

At least I was able to fix it, although with a lot of questions to the folks on this forum.

Ok at first i thought to myself, "ok, some minor issues but its good". Then I started getting com.google.process error. So I restored everything to factory setting that seemed to work. But now I set up my keyboard with Portuguese and Spanish and immediately lost swipe. Any body else have this issue. I'm becoming a bit disappointed with KitKat. I'm thinking it wasn't worth the hassle to update. I want to make very clear that that IN NO WAY means I'm not grateful for the dev's work. I greatly appreciate what you all do for us lesser mortals.

But I just want to know if there's a fix for this or should i jump ship and head to another custom TW KK rom?

Never mind. I fixed it. It seems somewhere along the line the I clicked on the T9 Trace without realizing it. It's working now. My apologies.
