[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
So, I know that I've already posted a bunch of links that explain how to oneclick and install roms from the oneclick I also linked you to.

Maybe you should just step by step, tell us how you are trying to install a rom, and we will do our best to set you straight. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cryzone77:
Yes, thanks.

Well starting from a Stock GB, from the Heimdall KJ6 I believe,

I root it using Framaroot(success)

then I install SGS Flasher and from there, I install the blastoff kernel.

after the Stock ROM fully boots with the new kernel,

I backup the /efs using adb commands and end up with a efs.tar.

With that taken care of, I go ahead to CWM and mount everything, wipe data, cache, dalvik, and battery stats.

Then I flash the CMxx ROM.

I let it rest for awhile and check for my IMEI and baseband and there's nothing there.

And so I try to manually restore my IMEI.

What I do is I rm -rf /efs/* /efs/.*

then I reboot

then I cd /efs

then tar xf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar

Remember, the file size of the nv_data.bin in the backup I did before flashing the kernel and the ROM is 5.2mb.

But when I look at the size of the restored nv_data.bin in my /efs, it has an average of 3.5mb(I have tried it a lot of times thats why I said average).

And I also attached the result of my ls -aRlh /efs below.

Based on this attachment, you can see that there is an nv_data.bin(5.2mb) inside the /efs,

and another nv_data.bin(256kb) inside the /efs/root/afs/settings.

Q: Is this normal?

Q: If not, which one contains my IMEI and baseband?

Q: Is it safe to just delete the other nv_data.bin IF in fact its not the one that my phone needs in determining my IMEI?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
If you use the Stock KJ6 + root One Click from first link in this post from my oneclick thread, you don't need to use a root app.

Again, You don't need to do that, because blastoff is in that oneclick.

I don't know this method. Please be specific.

As a mater of fact, if you followed the oneclick up to this point. Just flash CM9, CM10, or CM11. The flash from CWM will make a backup of the EFS for you! :)

If you don't "mount everything" and just do the "factory wipe", you're ready to flash CM9, CM10, or CM11 (or any other rom from the development forum). As a matter of fact, I don't think the "wipe battery stats" does anything, besides piss off the phone. Don't do that.

I see you making a lot of mistakes. They would be avoided if you actually read the OP of the threads for the files you're flashing.

Read EVERYTHING, then try again. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
As a matter of fact, just follow these directions... TO THE "T" !!!

Reboot your phone to download mode.

Use the Stock KJ6 + root Oneclick (click that link. Download it, run it).

Let the phone reboot.

Reboot to download mode again.

Flash it again with the "flash bootloaders" option checked.

Let the phone reboot.

copy the rom you want to flash to your phone's sdcard. Copy the gapps, if needed.

reboot to blue recoery (it is the right recovery... trust me... I made it.)

wipe factory

flash rom

flash gapps

reboot FTW

If you have problems following those exact instructions, ask for help :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cryzone77:
Thanks! Finally, someone who can give me the EXACT standard procedure for the ROM! (coz some of the posts on google are just reposts that's why the "reposter" doesnt know the exact procedure. Thanks for this! (clicking the Thanks button)

downloaded your OneClick and I will try this later after work.

Anyways, the commands that I said I do in trying to recover my IMEI are as follows:

Backup:

tar cf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar /efs

Restore:

umount -l /efs

rm -rf /efs/* /efs/.*

cd /efs

tar xf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar

NOTE: In my previous posts, I have included the logs that the flashing of a custom rom makes. There is a line that says some error when it tries to decompress the efs-backup.tar to /efs

"tar: write error: No space left on device"

and also, for the sake of knowledge, in the steps that you have given(to flash OneClick with root), there is a step that says we need to reflash and this time, with the "flash bootloaders" option ticked. Now, my question is, why do we need to do that? -Just curious-

and thanks for taking time to help me even up to this point. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
It has been standard procedure and documented in multiple places, in the OP of almost every thread for each rom/kernel, since [MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] helped us get OneClick working.

Don't search google, search XDA. I highly recommend reading straight through my roll up thread here. (<<<click link!!!)

Dude, whatever you're doing, it's wrong. You're the only person with this issue. Try the directions when you get home and report back.

Because I said so!!! lol, jk...

But really, sometimes things get dorked. (the LFS partition, etc...) If you've been flashing a bunch of weird stuff and you aren't sure if you might have flashed the wrong thing - I recommend flashing the bootloaders. It's a nice clean slate.

No problem. I like this forum when it's quiet, new roms/kernels are coming out, and people are giving feedback. I'm not happy when people are having problems.

But, I also don't like it when people ask for help, but don't take time to read the 'need to read' documentation (such as the link I mentioned above). Just read the New to XDA stuff and the User Guides. If you find anything else in the Galaxy S 4G forums that should be in that post, let me know and I'll add it!

Cheers!

Hi, I updated my Restore adb commands...

Sorry but I can't try these until later after work. Thanks for the help and I will post back ASAP. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I hope you weren't trying to restore your EFS backup into a gingerbread ROM. That 5.2 megabyte efs backup should be no bigger than 700 KILOBYTES. That backup is obviously corrupted and if you have tried to restore that in gingerbread you probably don't have a working nv_data.bin file, which should be around 260 kilobytes in size.

You kept overcomplicating the instructions [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] tried to give you in regards to installing the ROM. While installing the ROM, the install script will automagically back up and restore your /efs partition if you started from gingerbread.

What you need to do now is test your phone calls, text messaging and data connection on a GINGERBREAD ROM. The stock ROM will work fine for this. Assuming all 3 work for you on gingerbread, you will follow the instructions you were given here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56652117&postcount=26

You are following them TO THE T. Notice how it has no mention of doing anything in ADB or with the /efs partition? Let's keep it that way. You are creating more problems for yourself trying to do these steps.

Where did you get those instructions in the first place anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cryzone77:
I'm sorry for that. XD

Yes I'll do everything that sir [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] said in his previous posts. However, I can't do it now cause I still need a fully functional phone for work.

So my 5.2mb nv_data.bin(in /efs) is corrupted?

I have 2 of those. One is 5.2mb and the other is 256kb(in /efs/<in a deeper directory>).

So that means I could just delete the bigger one?

Because even if I started fresh from a GB STock rom, I still have the 5.2mb nv_data.bin.

That's why I've been trying to include that in my backup too.

And yes, call, messaging, and internet connection works even if I have a custom rom flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
[MENTION=3833556]FBis251[/MENTION] Can you post a:

ls -laR

of your /efs so that [MENTION=5367548]cryzone77[/MENTION] will know where all the files are. Don't provide any content, just the directory listing ;) (I would, but I don't have my sgs4g with me at this moment...)

I'm thinking that from one of the procedures he was doing from the i9000 forum screwed some things up.

[MENTION=5367548]cryzone77[/MENTION] For you, the task [MENTION=3833556]FBis251[/MENTION] asked you is: If you go back to Gingerbread on the OneClick, do things work? Send text messages, make phone calls, etc... If that stuff works, then we can fix your issue. If not, then you need to get an efs fix
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cryzone77:
Hi sir [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] and sir [MENTION=3833556]FBis251[/MENTION],

It turns out that the nv_data.bin that has a size of 5.2mb is a fake. I dunno where it came from, but ever since I flashed my previous OneClick-Heimdall(not the Heimdall sir [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] gave me) it always has that in the /efs partition. I did what sir [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] said in his previous posts(the step by step guide on how to flash CM rom) and what I did after I flashed his Heimdall stock + root, I deleted the fake 5.2mb nv_data.bin and did the rest of the steps and I successfully have the IMEI and baseband and I'm now on CM 10.1.

Many thanks to all of you for being patient with me throughout this problem! Everything is working fine now!

NOTE: after I flashed Heimdall for the 2nd time (with the bootloaders) I tried to install an apk but it failed, I tried again and again and it still fails. And also, after I have a fresh flash of stock + root, I noticed there was no SuperSU or SuperUser apk. Well, my problem is already solved but I was thinking that this info might help in the further development of these projects.

Again, many thanks to sir [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3833556]FBis251[/MENTION] and all the others who helped. :D:good:
[Moto 360] BtzX:
Hi guys..

I'm looking for a way to control my music player.

Specifically the ability to fast forward/rewind within a song track... (or even better if it can do track-bar scrubbing) from my watch.

I've been searching around for apps and i couldn't find any with such functionality so far.. Anyone here have any ideas? maybe some tasker gurus...?

Thanks!
[Moto 360] etiger13:
other than the skip forward or back songs?
[Moto 360] BtzX:
Yup. I know there are quite a number of wear apps that support skipping tracks and adjusting volume..

Any ideas?
[Moto 360] GuSo:

[Moto 360] BtzX:

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Chephei:
Hi guys,

I have a strange issue with my Alpha.

I bought this case - cannot paste link (spam lol) - Samsung Flip Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Alpha - Black

Now, this case replaces the original backplate and has contacts on the inside to (I guess) activate the hall sensor that detects whether the case is open (wake up) or closed (sleep). So far so good, everything working as indented.

Now the problem is that when the case is closed and I get called, it vibrates only

once

(if in silent mode)

When I use normal mode the ringtone functions normal but still, it vibrates only once, like 2 seconds, then is should pause for a sec and vibrate again, like every damn phone does.

The funny thing is that when I open/remove the case, it works perfectly fine, it vibrates in perfect interval.

What I noticed is that with the case applied and closed, after the first vibration you can barley feel a short vibration, every second or so, which seems like it tries to vibrate but hasn't enough power. SMS - and other notification vibrations work fine.

It is rooted, but this issue also occured on stock.

I hope it was somewhat clear ;)

Thanks!

NEVER buy anything from Pixmania. They are the worst. I bought a TV and AV Amp a while back and they sent the wrong colour amp and a European instead of UK TV (despite assuring me beforehand that they wouldn't). It took me 3 months to get a refund on the amp. THREE MONTHS!

Firstly when I got the dispatch note saying the wrong colour I contacted them and they said to just refuse delivery, which I did. The courier then lost it but Pixmania refused to refund me until it was found. I pointed out several times that I had never signed for it and therefore had no responsibility for its whereabouts. In the end I had to get my solicitor to write to them before they would sort it out.

At all stages their customer service people were rude, unhelpful, and never once called me back when they said they would. Even the manager I spoke to basically accused me of stealing it!

[Nexus 9 General] CdRsKuLL:
Well, ive been using my nexus 9 now for a few days and i just feel a little bit let down knowing how much ive spent and the results ive got. This feeling is purely regarding the hardware as i love lollipop and all the benefits that brings.

I thought i was happy with my nexus 9, well i was until i picked up my nexus 7 2013 and wow.. So light and it felt really nice! No sharp corners and the screen is loads better than the 9. This got me thinking, ive paid double for the 9.

What i would of loved is the 7 just resizing to the 9, using the same style and design (with wireless charging) im not over bothered about the new cpu if im honest, the one in the 7 is fast enough. Plus lollipop feels really slick anyway when i tried the preview version. They would of sold bucket loads, ok a few people would of wanted more but its better that than have loads of dissapointed customers.

Ive owned the Nexus 4 / 5 and both 7's and i even sold my 5 hoping to buy a 6.. Well until they released the price, so im back using the 4 again and very happy with it.

Also to top it all off and rub salt in the wounds HTC in the USA did a 50% off sale on the N9...ok it was only for a day but surely they wouldnt do that if they were losing money on each device would they?

Needless to say my N9 will be going back as faulty for a full refund due to its screen flicker. I love the 4:3 screen ratio so im looking for a alternative.. Any ideas?

[Nexus 9 General] y2whisper:
Think its more your wallet that has hurt your view of it. (in my opinion) and I get that. That and lollipop is great its supposed to be faster and not just on new devices this was the goal starting from KK. So shelling out that much money when you have the N7 may hurt a bit. I like the portability of the N7 Spent most my time with the n10 though. I just prefer bigger for some tasks.

The 50% sale only lasted an hour or less and was more hype than anything. Still there is a large markup on these much like there is on every premium device.

The screen flicker i don't have but if I were you I would definitely do an exchange or just send it back.
