efs problematic after flashing firmware N5100

HI, its my first post on xda and new to this world so i will try to be reasonable here.

i followed the steps mentioned in this thread except one, i.e. i didnt make a backup. Now my n5100 wont move beyond initial samsung logo and the recovery mode says "cannot mount / efs"

i also found a thread which makes some excellent points (see below), but i would still like to know if any of you tried this and had a similar problem. if so, did you find a DIY method :D

I've just upgraded to a Hermes from an Alpine so I'm just getting used to WM5.

I have 3 POP3 email acounts that I have set up to download automatically headers and 2K of messages.

When I get new mail I, of course, get the notification.

If I do not read the mail either by choosing dismiss or view if there are multiple messages so I leave unread messages on the device I get a new mail notification again. I believe that this is the next time that the download is scheduled.

I've searched in the Wizard and Universal forums for notification problems but I cannot find anything about this.

So two questions

1. Is this normal on WM5 ?

2. Is it possible to stop this happening?
[General Topics] krackie:
This is normal its just reminding you of unread messages.
[General Topics] kevino:
Thanks, that's what I feared.

IMHO it isn't the way it should work. Even if you have it set to 10 minute download, you can receive quite a few messages in that period. You may only have time to respond to an important one because you are going to be busy for a while. At the same time you then want to know of any new mail and do notwant to keep looking at your phone every 10 minutes to see if the new mail really is new.
[General Topics] matt1971:
Take a look at phonealarm. (www.pocketmax.net)

The app provides repeating alarms for email/sms/missed/voice etc)

Works very well on universal on wm5 so should do on yours - extensive support via the forum.

[General Topics] kevino:
Thanks Matt but I want less alerts. Seems to me that it's poutlook that raises the notification for unread emails as new email even though you have acknowledged it once.

Good day to all core users, I just had an idea that maybe the dev should add support to our Core (GT 18262 & 18260) for Mobile Odin Pro since this will help us a lot in flashing roms without the need to connect to pc and set up odin etc... and save a lot of time and effort. Help me out by asking support to the app's devs to hopefully add support for our beloved core in their amazing and useful app.

i don't want to repeat the same mistake, would this model be compatible with roms and kernels from the XZ2 thread ?

any help is appreciated.

Also, doesn't Samsung have a million different models with different hardware (like processors). I thought all z2's are the same except different mobile radio antenna. All roms should work as expected, just make sure the phone operates on your carriers frequencies.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
Assuming your locked with s-on then the only other option is to find someone with a java card that can turn s-off. There's a thread in the htc no forum about who has java cards which might still be up to date but folks are encouraged to throw those guys a little $$ for their help. My guess is that you need to find a way to pay for sunshine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gusya_777:
thanks for reply. But I love free solutions :)

what about Firewater ? Can I go with this solution:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3AHka4s-Eo

may be I can downgrade to Android 4.x.x and then use Firewater to get s-off, unlock & root and then flash any custom ROM thru TWRP.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
You can't downgrade unless you are s-off. You can only flash the same version of Android that you are on or a newer version. Even if you could downgrade it wouldn't matter. Firewater doesn't work anymore. It was server dependent and that server has been taken down. Your only options are Sunshine or the java card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
No free option exists. End of story.

Word of caution...don't turn this into a hate post about the lack of free options. If you feel so inclined I would suggest spending the energy on coming up with your own exploit.

[Moto G General] callidus_ex_de_latebros:
Hey guys, so I know that there was a lot of false speculation about the possibility of altering the internal storage capacity of the G.

That was false, as the internal storage is actually an eMMC chip.

However, I bought a XT1032 model, with 16GB of internal storage, and, being a ruthlessly enthusiastic electronic engineer, I decided to take the matter of SD card support into my own hands.

I noticed, shortly after getting it, that my phone, being the single SIM variant, has an unused slot in the side, and, upon closer inspection, no important components around that area.

So it began; turning the unused SIM slot into a microSD slot.

I first went to PC World, and bought this tiny USB card reader:

I then stripped away all of the plastic, and all of the metal USB connector. I was left with this:

I then took the microSD slot from an old phone:

The above image shows two contacts in the top right corner which are pressed closed only when the microSD is present.

This is crucial to the operation of this mod, because it enables me to distinguish whether the SD is present or not (more on this later).

I then glued the card holder to the reader circuit board:

I used pliers and a scalpel to remove the unused SIM holder, and scrape an indent in the phone's pcb, to give more space to the reader circuit:

Finally, I soldered (VERY carefully) the relevant connections to the inside of the phone's connector, used a scalpel to cut away any obstructive plastic, and cut a copper sheet to fit over the SoC, RAM, eMMC, etc.:

And then put it all back together. I powered the phone up, and used a charger and a 2GB microSD to test everything, and hey presto, IT WORKS! :D

This mod takes advantage of the USB OTG function of the Moto G. My modifications, while extensive, are essentially an "Internal, Switch-able, OTG microSD Card Reader".

This is where the card holder contacts I mentioned earlier become important. The phone uses pin 4 of the USB connector to detect what is connected. A certain value of resistance between pin 4 and GND tell the phone what a connected device is. For charging the phone, or connecting it to a computer, pin 4 needs to be dealt with by the computer or charger. We cannot interfere with pin 4 in these two situations.

If we kept pin 4 low, the phone would try to constantly power the SD card reader, and so would not accept a charge, and would soon run out of battery. The solution is to only enable OTG when the microSD is present. This means that for charging, I take the SD out, the switch on the connector opens, letting pin 4 be controlled by the charger/computer. The phone can charge up, and when it's finished, I put the SD card back in, and OTG takes over again.

Neat huh?

Many thanks, and I hope you enjoyed reading!
[Moto G General] matmutant:
to charge the device we could use a very little switch that short pin 4 to 5 :) (but needs to remember to uninstall SD in software first)
[Moto G General] abhifx:
and this is the reason why i love xda.

neat stuff... too bad i have dual sim
[Moto G General] rr46000:
There's nothing too bad

I'd u are a single sim user what you can do is use the other unused sim port for sd card

Correct me if I am wrong
[Moto G General] abhifx:
i am using both the sims... so too bad.

on the other hand... people have been using universal qi charger with moto g... a similar setup with card in battery back would result in same functionality and a bit less geeky

A quick question, does anyone know why USB OTG prevents deep sleep (More to the point, how I could disable this)?

It means that the battery usage when the screen is on is pretty much the same as usual, but when the screen is off, the battery usage is massive, as deep sleep isn't occurring.
[Moto G General] fabus:
Probably this is related to supplying power by phone to otg device. It would be really good improvement in next kernels to stop giving power to otg device when it is idle.

Currently, when u r copying some files, playing music from e.g. otg drive, when phone would go into deep sleep, transfer would be stopped because phone goes into deep sleep, so this also wouldn't be good approach...

Hey Mr. Calidos (OP), any news on your project? I already made this topic a favorite one for me.. Heheh.

[Moto G General] callidus_ex_de_latebros:
Unfortunately, at the moment, a kernel module called 'msm_otg' is stopping the device from sleeping while the SD is inserted.

This means that I have to take the SD out when I'm not using the phone.

To solve this, I need to modify the kernel to allow deep sleep to occur. I'll post an update when I've solved this problem.

P.S; My username is actually Latin. It means: "The cunning of that which is hidden". It's about people's use of technology that they don't understand.
