Installing CM11 rel11, serial disappeared - best way to restore?

Hi folks!

I've upgraded the stock firmware to CM11 rel11 from this thread on a i9001. Now it is on EOL rel13.

By the initial upgrade I assume the serial number turned unknown, so now I am only able to make emergency calls. Until now it didn't make me upset at all, however recently my priorities have changed. (In a nutshell: VOIP telephony was kicking in, thus it would be handy to turn my GPS device a 3G and callback capable... well... phone.)

Before the upgrade operation I followed the recommendation and created a backup of /efs and /persist. Not surprisingly the backed up and current images of these partitions do differ on some bits. However at this point I became a bit confused, and teh internetz didn't answer (yet?) my questions:

- Shall I simply dd the original images back, reboot, and problem is solved? Or doing so I will brick my precious device (being even unable to restore the current state of these partitions) thus lose even navigation?

- Is there any better restore tool around that supports i9001?

- Am I totally off track, and should make some other magic? (Like using some 2013 patch that kicks out S/N check, etc.)

Thank you in advance!

Project dead?

I have tried to download R13 files. All downloads hosted by devhost failed because the files seem to be unavailable. Tested with Chrome and Dolphin on i9300 and i9001.

Can you or someone who has already downloaded the files please provide an additional mirror?

And why is R13 EOL if there is no clue of a newer Version? Have you stopped the development completely or are you preparing for Lollipop?

I have the same problem as PsychoGame

"Hello ADC-Team,

First of all thank you for all your hard work on this device, it's much appreciated.

Second I want to report a small bug which I've encountered and am unable to get past. I followed the next steps in flashing:

I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus.

Rebooted into TWRP 2.8.0.0

Completely wiped the device (Cache, Dalvik Cache, Android Secure, SD-card, System & Data)

After full wipe installed the cm-11.0-20141011-ION-dev_connection_team-release13-ariesve.zip

After flashing CM11 installed GAPPS package

Cleared Cache and Dalvik Cache once more

Rebooted and set-up device

After the device has been set-up I'm unable to use the contacts app for some reason.

I've tried clearing Cache/Dalvik Cache and Fix Permission but this error still persists

Reflashed the CM11 package again but still no luck, the error still persists.

Does anyone have a suggestion, or is anyone also facing this same problem?

Greetings PsychoGame "

I'm unable to open my contacts, i din't have the problem with release 12. Is there a know solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callegan:
Yes I share the same problem, as said in post 21 oct 2014 at 07:30 PM.

I can't use the contacts because they can't be read in the SIM and can't be exported to the thelepone memory.

Tried with wiping, cleaning, etc., but I had to step back to a previous release (R11) very well working.

Looking at the lenght of the files I could see that R11 is 210.888 KB, R12 is 211.708, and R13 is decreased to 189.921.

Something lost
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
I don't share this. The contacts are properly downloaded from Google and I can access them normally. I can also add contacts and save them!

Edit: were did you save your contacts? If you've saved them on your sim card, I'd suggest an app called 'sim contacts'. I found out I had some very old contacts stored on the sim card! I almost forgot this possibility...

I live in the Netherlands, i tried language english us but that gave problems with reception. My provider signal (t mobile) disconected sometimes ramdomly. My solution was select english united kingdom instead of Dutch and Nederland.

Hello folks,

I still am having problems with contacts from SIM.

To make short a long story:

-1-I have my contacts (216) in SIM.

-2-I must have them in SIM because sometimes I have to put SIM in other phones neither Android nor Google.

-3-That means I do not save my contacts in Google Cloud.

-4-CM11 doesn't use SIM directly (R/W), so I used to select all contacts in SIM and transfer to Phone Memory (not in Google Cloud).

-5-I could do that until R11 and R12.

-6-(Note_1 : before an update I perform a total wipe and a factory reset)

-7-Now I installed R13 with the same procedure: factory reset and instal ZIP

-8-The transfer of contacts is not possible because contacts in SIM are no longer visible,

-9-If I install R12, copy contacts to phone, then install R13 on it without erasing nothing (cache, dalvik, reset) then i can see contacts previously transferred under R12.

Note (tried as suggested by smitharro) "sim contacts" from market. It Reads and Writes contacts on SIM, but cannot transfer to Phone, I get this message "operation failure. try again".

My question is: how can I transfer contacts from SIM to phone under R13 as per step -7- and not pass via step -9-?

I may make something wrong, but do not understand what.

Help please

Many Thanks

I tried to copy one of my old contacts from the Sim to the phone with 'Sim contacts'. It works perfect! The contact is visible in in 'contacts' after this operation! It isn't visible when it's only on the Sim card however... Sorry but I'm afraid I can't give you a solution for this, other than just use Android phones...

Hello people,

Thanks smitharro for the test you did with "sim contacts" with R13.

It doesn't work with me; if I try to copy with "sim contacts" (by Needom Studio), it gives me the message "Operation Failure" and stops.

BUT

Then I tried with "sim manager" (by Robotobia) and all was perfect: I could copy from Sim to Phone and from Phone to Sim.

(Info: my sim operator is WIND, memory capacity 64 KB)

I hope this could be useful for other people that might have same problems.

Hello
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
Glad it finally worked out for you! I used the Needom Studio app. That one worked fine for me. Don't know why it didn't work for you. Most important: your problem is (somewhat) solved, although it's just a workaround. The Rom still doesn't read the sim-contacts 'by itself'. For me, personally, that's not an issue. Hope the rom will be made 'perfect' before it reaches it's real EOL... On the other hand, nothing in life is absolutely perfect! remember: this rom is brought to us absolutely with no charge by people who volunteer to do this development, just because they like doing this.

Still confused

Hi again

I'm still confused, whether it is safe to dd my saved partitions back to restore my serial number. (Still not 100% sure if these partitions are bound to a particular firmware revision, e.g. only usable as a source to harverst my serial from, not to restore anything; and neither 100% sure if dd is the best tool to rewrite them.)

Having no - even a short - answer means I am asking something pretty obvious? By my opinion if it were obvious, google had answered it already - but it didn't.

Any answers appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
First of all, your question is not fully clear to me. What doe you mean by serial number? You're IMEI number? If you've lost that, your phone is nothing more than a small tablet. This is a unique number to identify your phone on the provider's network. So you'll have to restore the backup!

The serial number in my phone however is 'unknown' in the rom. But the rom works fine! There's no need to have that for the use of this phone. I don't know where it was stored in the original rom, but be very careful with messing with the 'EFS' partition!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronosynclastic:
Thank you for your reply!

My IMEI number remained well, however I learned that

both

IMEI and serial (S/N) is needed to have a phone (e.g. to connect to carrier) instead of having a tablet.

For example here is said: "IMEI is showing now but still no calls and sms. I also noticed that the serial number is not the same as the one written at the back of the phone. I have read that restoring EFS solves this problem".

There is also some magic ("azira patch") to S3 that states the same. It operates by bypassing serial check, but since it is old (2013) and originally for S3, I'd rather stuck restoring my /efs partition.

Backing up /efs is written down everywhere. Restoring it... well. Mostly external tools are mentioned, that don't support i9001.

Even further, suppose restoring /efs and /persist is the solution for my problem, I think I know how to do that. At least by dd. What I don't know is that the structure of these partitions is fix or may change between Android versions. And of course: if I rewrite them to original, will my device boot again?

Considering these, any idea if I'm off track, or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
I never touched my /efs partition nor will I ever! My phone is running fine without the serial number displaying in the rom! I can make phone calls, send text messages and I have mobile data! So you really don't have to restore the serial number. Possibly it's still there and still used by the provider, but is the settings app simply not reading it... Sorry I can't help you more. I'm not a developer, just a user...

I'm not an expert, but having easy battery saver and keeping it in foreground before screen locking :eek: usually makes a good job for me. Yup, pretty fiddly I'd say. Since I yet have a regular phone with 7-10days standby to make calls (and my smartphone-toy can't yet connect to carrier), didn't experiment yet much on what are the minimal conditions to make this battery saver having effect.

Allowing the minimal supported clock rate may extend your battery life marginally, too.

Wifi reconnect

Hello,

Since CM11 R12 as well as CM11 R13 EOL I have a minor problem with my wifi connection which doesn't reconnect.

It seems that the new wifi driver made the difference.

I have tried K^Kernel 2.9 and 2.9.5 and also the stock kernels of R12 and R13.

I have done twice a clean install/flash, wiped system, data etc and it worked initially, but later when I toggled wifi on, it didn't find my near networks.

All wifi networks are 'not in range' and everytime I would like to connect wifi I have to soft reboot my phone.

When I searched the thread of CM11 ADC and this thread I saw people with the same issue but there wasn't a working solution.

I really love R13 EOL with K^Kernel 2.9.5, it's insanely fast.

But this minor problem annoys me, so I restored my R11 with KKernel 2.8.

I am very thankful for all the hard work of everyone for this old phone.

thanks in advance

Thanks a ton for release 13. Each such release contributes to the longevity of my GT-I9001. Most of the time I have 40 to 50% free ram, which is awesome.

The transition from CM 11 rel 12 to rel 13 was quite smooth, except for a couple of issues with Gmail and Play Store, which were easily fixed.

I had been using the power button for various reboot options like recovery, soft reboot, etc (TWRP 2.8.0.0). However, after this update, I have only the plain reboot option available with the power button. Am I missing or overlooking something?
