[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ess.boyer:
Hey all!

I have a Canadian S4 (SGH-M919V) from WIND Mobile that my friend gave to me, broken.

I have already tried just about everything I can think of, and everything I read online to repair it.

It has a NULL IMEI (as verified by doing *#06#), and when I enter the Service Mode menu via *#0011#, the menu screen comes up but is just black and blank. The Baseband version displays as "Unknown".

I have tried flashing a few different stock roms (via Odin) for that particular phone, and have even tried AOSP roms (via TWRP), to no avail.

I have followed guides for restoring a blank IMEI, however, all the methods I tried required a working Service Mode, which I do not have.

At this point I'm thinking the problem is either hardware, or, it needs to have the IMEI reset via the JTAG, and I don't have the stuff to do that.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Unfortunately you are going to have to get your information on fixing this elsewhere.

Discussion about changing the IMEI (even from 0 to a working value) are forbidden on XDA as making changes to an IMEI is illegal in most places in the world. And people use that info to make it easier to steal phones, so we don't discuss it here.

The only thing that I can advise you on is to restore the EFS backup, which includes that devices original IMEI, if one was made and saved to the device. If not, that's no help at all.

I can say that you're on the right track though as far as fixing it. But you need to find your answers somewhere else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ess.boyer:
Thanks for the reply. I realize the issues surrounding changing the IMEI, so I wasn't looking for help with that necessarily (though I would be open to doing so as the phone does have it's own perfectly legal and valid IMEI which I would be using).

I was hoping that perhaps all that was wrong was a corrupt modem, or something along those lines. I have tried to do an EFS restore, but to no avail. Some guides suggest doing a backup of the presumably corrupt EFS and then restoring it, but that didn't help either.

I am probably just going to have to chalk this up to "unfixable", as it most likely is indeed hardware damage.

So unless anyone else has any ideas...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If you have the valid IMEI that is confirmed good it is fixable. But it just can't be discussed here. I wouldn't throw the phone out. (If nothing else it's a GREAT tiny tablet for wifi use.)

Google will help you out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ess.boyer:
Thanks again. I have an authorized Samsung repair place in town, so I will bring it by there first and see if they can handle it. If not, I'll ask my old buddy Google where to take it from there.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aqureshi12345:
I recently flashed "

[ROM][4.4.2][SEPT 23] LG G3 Optimus G.PRO V4.6.2 XCam LG

" by "

http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-pro/development/lg-g3-port-optimus-gpro-e980-t2827464"

on my LG Optimus F240L.

It had great music volume, almost double of the normal HIGH volume.

But the call wouldn't give any volume, nor mine, nor the person on the other end of the call.

So I flashed a patch given in the specified thread, and that seemed to fix the problem.

But now the music volume is also decreased to original.

I know this sounds lame, but I really liked the High Volume.

Can anybody help with this?

Or convey this message to the developer of the ROM?

I would be grateful.

Thankyou.

P.S Sorry for the bad vocabulary, You see sometimes, when words are needed, they don't come to your mind.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10rdan:
in thinking that to install official ota update on unlocked/rooted device, I ONLY need to re flash the stock recovery ? It's on ARHD at the moment so is basically a stock Rom.

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No, you only get OTA if you are completely stock, a stockish rom is not enough. also root will mostly break ota applying, and ur on a custom rom...

ClockworkMod recovery is a recovery designed by Koushik Dutta

#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

Requirements:

Any Android One device with Unlocked Bootloader

Unlocking the bootloader:

Reboot to fastboot mode

Execute following commands

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot format userdata

Note: You will lose all data of your's after this

Install recovery through fastboot:

Download the recovery.img from here

Reboot the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode

adb reboot bootloader

Flash the recovery image and reboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

Note: In the install menu, do not select /sdcard because we don't have internal storage which is meant for anything other than installing apps. We only have external sd which is /external_sd which you have to select. This applies for backup and restore and every other operation involving the sdcard.

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Origin] alaap_surendran:
Ok!! Awesome!! but...

Will we get the OTA Updates and will the ota update install successfully with this recovery.... i am scared.... if it dosent... can anyone post the stock recovery (or the rom) image... Thanks forur hard work.. :laugh:
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Origin] k2wl:
posting stock recovey is not possible yet because there is no root method without cwm.

when OP get the DEVICE(mostly this saturday) he will put more methods for root without cwm.

that time he will post stock recovery too. so have little patience.

whenever i reboot i go to cwm. help? is this one of those recoveries where u have to reflash the stock one before rebooting?
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Origin] k2wl:

it may be bad flash

go back to fastboot mode

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Origin] varun.chitre15:
Why would you suggest him to format system?

You now have to wait for someone to dump system image to be able to boot into system because you just formatted it. I will do it once I have my phone.

If you had followed the instructions cut to cut you might not have faced this.

Recovery updated with the fix

In the install menu, do not select /sdcard because we don't have internal storage which is meant for anything other than installing apps. We only have external sd which is /external_sd which you have to select.

This goes for backup and restore and every other operation involving the sdcard.

I too faced this error. What I did to resolve it is to wipe user data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache using CWM and then finally MOST IMPORTANT before exiting CWM asks whether we want to fix root permissions or not choose NO. Please revert back with the progress.

Keep up the good sail bro

Hey Varun Bro ! gud to see u ! working here :)

plz take it as a suggestion add where to keep recovery.img cuz i heard that some are having issues to load it !!!

Hahaha !

TO save your time just add this too -

Place the recovery you need in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\recovery.img

Open up command prompt and type:

cd \android-sdk\platform-tools

Now, make sure it detects your android:

fastboot devices

You'll see a line with a serial number, you're good to go (remember you need to be in fastboot mode while you do all of this, Vol. Up + Power while off)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thnx Keep Developing and Working !!

Flashify requires root

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

Don't get full SDK

Just search on google for wintools

Or minimal adb and fastboot

Use one of them

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

That is only if you are using Windows, and using full sdk

Many people will not want to download 300-400mb

So use minimal adb and fastboot or wintools.

i adb reboot recovery

and im seeing the dead android with "no commad"

i push power and vol up

and i see the default android recovery, and not the cm recovery.

did I miss something?

EDIT: im stupid :)

you have to boot directly to recovery after flashing it. Press "vol up" + "power" until it boots to recovery

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Origin] godofrayer:
Some stock ROM's may replace the custom recovery with the stock recovery. To solve it you should install the custom recovery with fastboot and reboot to recovery and don't reboot to system. That will prevent the stock ROM from replacing the custom recovery. OR install a custom ROM
