[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Yes, they should be the same thing as we both have L600's. I didn't have a chance to look it over but I will try and get it to you later on today.

All you need is for your Mega to be able to get to Download Mode. Then and only then you will have to Odin a copy of the Official Firmware L600VPUBNE4 for it not to stay bricked but you probably already know that. As far as becoming usable that would be up to you, being able to restore your EFS data. In theory it should not brick but you need to only restore the EFS portion of the data.

Here is all the info I gathered from using Terminal Emulator in case you need it for file locations:

EFS is located: /dev/block/mmcblkop10

As you can see msm_sdcc.1 is specific to our device ( I noticed that it was the same on my SGS3 but not my SGN2 on KitKat ) so one can locate the by-name file to get the list below.

The second picture shows GNU Parted being run in my Terminal Emulator. You would need the Parted Binary file located here at the end of the Original Post.

Just extract the parted binary manually and then

copy

and

paste

it to the /system/bin folder with any File Explorer with

Root access

. After you paste the binary you will need to set the permissions to the parted binary you pasted to rwxr-xr-x or (0755). You can do this to any device you have and run it either in Terminal Emulator and even via ADB on your computer. Really handy to have sometimes.

Once you get the debrick image, below are two guides that I saved in my subscriptions that may help you. You may have them already.

Actually this is an entirely different topic from Debricking a phone. You have a phone with a bad ESN. With that I can not help. If the previous owner ( or seller in your case ) "maybe" did not pay his bill, then your phone is locked out until it is released from his/her account by Sprint. If there is a way around this, I may not know.

I had this happen to me once before with my wife's Sprint SGS4. It was a pain but eventually two days later the seller finally came through and the phone was released for activation.

You should start a separate thread to see if you can get the right help and not get your question lost in this thread. I am sorry I couldn't help you any further.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ashikrobi:
Sorry you misunderstood

Dark Angel you misunderstood my message i don't have bad esn. I lost esn number or corrupt it with dfs cdma tool. Dfs shows my esn but status from efs shows cps_na error. I didn't bought this phone second hand. My cousin send it from USA and she bought it new.

Thanks and i am waiting for your reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Off Topic Post / Misunderstanding .....

Yes I know, please disregard the quote and answer from the previous person responding above my post, right after the pictures I posted ( you will see the quote ). It was an off topic post and the forum combined them for some reason in the response for you ( probably because they were so close in time frame when I posted ) ..... I tried separating them in different posts but it still combined them together.

That is why off topic posts should be posted in a new thread/topic to avoid confusion......
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ashikrobi:
Wow!!! Dark Angel, you are the man i was looking for. You know linux like a pro. Linux is my favorite operating system. I didn't know parted was available for android also. How do you learn these things?

By the way sorry, i though your message about bad esn was for me.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Well not a Pro..... I still have much more to learn but Linux is my favorite OS to use for anything Android related. A lot I still do on Windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Debrick Image......

Okay try this image.......

I burnt this image several time over on a class 4, 8 gig card and it wrote the image on it perfect. I don't know if you will have to use a 16gig card for your Mega or not but try what you have 16 gig or less. Trial and error at this point.

You can probably add more to it if need be from the Official Firmware by dragging and dropping ( if I am not mistaken ) by just opening ( and not extracting ) the tar.md5 with WinRAR or 7zip. I can't remember if one was able to do this.......

You found a bug in GNU Parted! Here's what you have to do:

Don't panic! The bug has most likely not affected any of your data.

Help us to fix this bug by doing the following:

Check whether the bug has already been fixed by checking

the last version of GNU Parted that you can find at:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/

Please check this version prior to bug reporting.

If this has not been fixed yet or if you don't know how to check,

please visit the GNU Parted website:

http://www.gnu.org/software/parted

for further information.

Your report should contain the version of this release (2.3)

along with the error message below, the output of

parted DEVICE unit co print unit s print

and the following history of commands you entered.

Also include any additional information about your setup you

consider important.

Assertion (last_usable <= disk->dev->length) at ../../../libparted/labels/gpt.c:994 in function _parse_header() failed.

By the way is there any other way to recover from this state? I found qpst finds my phone after installing qhsusb_dload driver. Please help me.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
You are using an installed version of Linux correct? Are you on 13.04? Well I know the GNU Parted is just the program from Linux but the image still wrote on the SD card.

After the image was written to the SDcard, were you able to see the image content inside? For me it showed about 60MB of actual space written from the 85mb image. After it wrote, I just wrote over it and wrote over it and wrote over it again. Funny thing is I could not see the image at first so I then removed the card from my computer and re-inserted it and was then able to see it. I even inserted it on a Windows 8 tablet I have from a co-worker and it read it fine.

I did this while just using the "Install CD" and trying Ubuntu ( don't have it re-installed yet on my Notebook yet ). I did it using 14.04 LTS though. Try updating your GNU Parted ( your at 2.3 ), if it hasn't already been done, to the most current and re-write the image again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ashikrobi:
Yes i am using an installed version of ubuntu 14.04. I was also not able to view partitions after i wrote the image to sdcard. But after i reinsert the card it showed all partitions and maybe mounted modem partition contents. I could view partitions with windows 7 also.

But when i try to boot the phone with this sdcard nothing happened. I tried several times but failed. What can i do now? DarkAngel please tell me a way to unbrick my phone.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ashikrobi:
It worked!

Yes yes yes!!! :victory: it worked finally. DarkAngel you are the man. After more then 20 days my phone has come to life for you. I am thanking you from my heart. Thanks a lot. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
:highfive: Excellent! Now make a complete backup of your phone and also make a debrick image for yourself. You can make it as big as you like. You can also extract the stock recovery for maybe a later time, for upgrading ( if we ever see an update for it again to L ..... :rolleyes:).

Please explain what you did if different that the tutorials just in case for others to know, that have an L600 Sprint version. This can benefit not just us but maybe others in the future for sure.

If you can, modify the original title on your original post to say [ SOLVED ] or [ FIXED ] .and I will leave my debrick image up for others.

Good Job! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ashikrobi:
Missed those tutorials

Nothing special, i missed your tutorial the other day. After i done writing the img, i took out the SD card and put it into the phone. With the battery in the phone, i inserted the SD card, plugged the phone into my pc and tried to boot into download mode by pressing volume down, menu and power button. And it magically worked.

I have changed the title of my first post. Please take a look and tell me if it is okay. I have a question, you said i can make debrick image as big as i want. What will be the command. Can you post a tutorial on this please.

Thanks DarkAngel.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Awww you didn't have to put my name in the title .... :o

But really it's the members here that post up their great tutorials that really helped. I just showed you how.......

In your Terminal Emulator same text like always. On post #12, I linked the Tutorial for [GUIDE] Making Dump Files Out of Android Device Partitions when I mentioned about the Parted Binaries. It's in section#2 about half way down the Original post.

===================================

Use these below for your debrick Dumps:

===================================

On Your Computer via (CMD) Command Prompt /C

ommand-Line Interpreter

:

[COLOR=#353535]adb shell[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#353535]su[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#353535]busybox [B]dd[/B] if=/[COLOR=blue]dev/block/mmcblk0[/COLOR] of=/[COLOR=green]sdcard[/COLOR]/[COLOR=red]debrick.img[/COLOR] [COLOR=purple]bs=1M[/COLOR] [/COLOR][COLOR=sienna]count=128[/COLOR]

On Terminal Emulator in Phone:

[COLOR=#353535]su[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#353535][B]dd[/B] if=/[COLOR=blue]dev/block/mmcblk0[/COLOR] of=/[COLOR=green]sdcard[/COLOR]/[COLOR=red]debrick.img[/COLOR] [COLOR=purple]bs=1M[/COLOR] [/COLOR][COLOR=sienna]count=128[/COLOR]

==================================================

In case you wanted to know why......

Since we know where and what block # belongs to what partition you just need to make the images. This is what you need to know to make the dumps.

dd if=/yourMountingPoint of=/yourDestination/partitionType
​

What they mean ( just in case ) :

/yourMountingPoint = mounting point of the partition( which will be " mmcblk0 " or " mmcblk0p10 " , etc. )

/yourDestination = where you are sending the partition to ( if you are dumping the whole Rom then maybe switch to your computer as the destination. You will

not

need to add how much you are wanting to taking out - ex. bs=1M count=128 )

/partitionType = what type of partition it is ( depends on what you are extracting / dumping - ex. being .img, .lfs or .bin )

bs = means how many blocks are read and written at a time. The bigger the number the faster it reads and writes. ( blocks and bytes - ex. b 512, kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, GB 1000*1000*1000, G 1024*1024*1024, and so on for T, P, E, Z, Y. )

count = how much you are wanting to take out of your partition - ( ex. count=128 )

dd = means data dump or convert and copy

Well that's it for now..... LOL

Hello, waiting for italian/EU_common firmware... I made some same test about a future G3 UI porting.

Because I really like the result... I've decided to share the mod with everyone

Mod turn notification area similar to the new G3 UI. But this mod is for stock odexed jelly bean (4.1.2) rom :P

To install it you need root and a file manager.

instruction:

- put apk in attachment into your device

- open file manager

- paste file into SYSTEM/APP directory (replace the file? yes, you still have a backup true????)

- reboot!

this mod work for sure with E97510d-EUR-XX firmware. Don't install on other version!!!

(trasparent status bar and White kitkat style status bar icon are obtained by xposed framework... not included in the mod)

Has anyone had success carrier unlocking their sprint/VM CDMA evo's?

I bought the 3vo phone from ebay in the U.S. I live in Ontario and Sprint hasn't existed as a company in Canada since Rogers bought the Canadian division in 2005. And at that time they were only home phone and cable.

My question is, to have another CDMA provider such as Bell activate the phone, it needs to be "unlocked" so to speak. I have learned that the EPST menu, which can be accessed by dialing ##778#. you can choose view, or edit. Editing EPST requires MSL password(which I obtained by root app called MSL reader) I can edit many of the phone's CDMA receiver frequencies and NAM settings, Home SID/NID, modem settings, PRL, data parameters, M.IP settings etc etc...by dialing ##786# for reverse logistics support, I can see the previous owner's old sprint phone #, her sprint email address, MSID, MAC-ID, ESN, MEID(dec), MEID(hex), life calls, life timer, etc

I am 90% sure the new provider will just flash all these settings to optimize the phone for their network...Is there a way, and should I wipe all the old Sprint EPST to create a blank slate in which a new carrier can flash their new EPST settings into the phone?
