Just got a new Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 4.4.2 NK1 build, and when holding Volume Down + Home + Power, I continue to get the restart menu that shows Power Off, Airplane Mode & Restart. Have tried multiple times. Don't know what I'm missing. Thanks from this Noob.

The latest Dolphin update, Dec 25, 2014, installed another identical icon. When trying to delete one of them, I get this message, "Do you want to delete this app?" Well, I don't, just the Icon.

Is there a easy way to delete the duplicate Icon and leave the app?

By the way, I have noticed some other apps doing this. Upon updating an app it leaves a duplicate icon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsrmey79:
Hello everyone,

as stated in the title, I've somehow lost my Imei nr on my internat. sgsIII. Now, since I am a bloody newbie I don't have any clue how to fix this problem. It just started a couple weeks ago by itself with the message "not registered in network" and that I could not use the phone anymore, only through wifi. Since then I obviously made a huge mistake by taking it too easy fixing that problem on my own. Before the problem appeared, I've

never

rooted nor manipulated my phone in any way (I did not knew how or what "root" is), after my problem occured I've rooted my phone several times, "flashed" via Odin 3 my phone with div. firmwares etc. and now I understand that I really messed it up and lost the trail. I don't know where to start or what to look for. My "efs-folder" is now empty and since I am ignorant to this, I never made a backup of the efs-folder.

Acc. to my phone:

Imei is: 0049. . . . . . (developer Imei)

ImeiSV: 01

serial Nr: 4df184. . . . . (which seems strange)

Android Vers: 4.3

Baseband: I9300XXUGNA8

Kernel Ver: 3.0.31-2713958

dpi@DELL318#1

BuildNr: JSS15J,I9300XUGNG3

My phone is now rooted via cf autoroot

Can anyone help me? I hope you people could bring me back to trail, I thank you in advance

(sorry for my english)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Take it to a repair centre, unless you can find an efs backup on your sd card (some custom roms make a copy).

Make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay the repair bill.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsrmey79:
I try to avoid that one. . . . I do have somekind of an efs copy from my phone on my PC but I guess it is just a copy of a regenerated efs folder after I flashed my phone with a new firmware. I can't read the contain of that copy it says something like:

(folder) bluetooth

(folder) carrier

(folder) drm

(folder) factoryApp

(folder) imei (contains: mps_code.dat)

(folder) wifi

0000000 authokcont

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satellite31:
Hi All,

Since rooted, I am trying to upgrade my stock and encrypted Nexus 6 from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 manually by flashing the factory images. My aim is to do not wipe personal data such as apps and photos. Since I am new to flashing, can someone please explain the difference between the "flash-all.bat" and the "system.img" method?

I have done a similar upgrade on my stock, rooted and unencrypted Nexus 5 by modifying the flash-all.bat file from "fastboot -w update" to "fastboot update" to do not wipe personal data.

Flashing encrypted Nexus 6

Thanks for the answer. I am new to flashing. Isn't it an issue that my Nexus 6 is encrypted? I have seen guidelines for manual flashing. Does the order of flashing matter?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
I believe you might be looking for this.

P.S. - If encryption is an issue for you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satellite31:
Is it possible to flash an encrypted Nexus 6 without wiping personal data?

Thank you for the reply. I am fine keeping my Nexus 6 encrypted. I am wondering if flashing an encrypted device is possible by modifying the flash-all.bat file from "fastboot -w update" to "fastboot update" to do not wipe personal data.

Is there any difference between flashing an encrypted and a non-encrypted device?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
No, the main issues people are seeing with the encryption are phone performance, specifically read/write speeds (benchmark stuff) and the fact that it was forced on us. You should be able to flash as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you have a custom recovery. I would recommend you flash each partition separately, that way you skip the userdata partition getting wiped.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satellite31:
By bootloader is unlocked but I am running a stock device. I have no custom recovery.

I have done a similar upgrade on my stock, rooted and unencrypted Nexus 5 by modifying the flash-all.bat file from "fastboot -w update" to "fastboot update" to do not wipe personal data. It worked fine. I do not know if the fact that the Nexus 6 is encrypted could cause issues.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
I don't think that would work, not because of encryption, but because of security checks built into Lollipop. It's very sensitive to any modifications made to it, so I'm not sure that editing the file would get you the results you're looking for. The safer route to accomplish what you want would be to flash each partition manually, simply skipping the userdata partition, which would leave you with what you have. However, if you did attempt to flash with the modified file, I can't see anything happening other than it not working.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satellite31:
Thanks for the extensive reply. The modified flash-all.bat file from "fastboot -w update" to "fastboot update" worked fine for me when upgrading from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 on a stock, rooted and not encrypted Nexus 5. The bootloader remained unlocked and the userdata not wiped.

With reference to your last sentence, what do you mean by not working?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
You might want to think about flashing a custom recovery, they can be very helpful in restoring your phone back to the last good backup if you were to have an issue. Your just over-writing the stock recovery that has limited features, can't perform a full backup, with a custom one that has many features. Even if you don't flash a custom rom/kernel, just the fact you have unlocked your bootloader and have root and you do your own updates, say your power cut out in the middle of updating, it may be a pain to get back to where you need to be. With a backup, your good to go.

If your phone is encrypted, flashing the factory .imgs will not decrypt or harm your phone. When you run flash-all.bat your more or less allowing the .bat file to do the "fastboot flash xxx" instead of you doing it manually. I prefer the manual approach like this I can see the process and leave out what I don't need. When you take out the -w option, it just does not flash the user partition and leaves your data alone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Androind encryption affects only the user data partition. So you see, you're not doing anything to break it as long as you don't flash that one user data partition.

Also, as someone else suggested, twrp recovery will allow you to backup your entire phone.

You don't need to flash it to use it. Just side-boot it executing the following command while in bootloader:

Fastboot boot twrp.IMG

Download the twrp IMG file and replace the name twrp.IMG with the name of the actual file.

This allows you to use it kind of like a Linux live CD.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satellite31:
Solved

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I am sharing hereunder my experience maybe someone can benefit from it.

I have found no issues in upgrading my stock, rooted, not encrypted Nexus 5 (bootloader unlocked) from Lollipop 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 modifying the flash-all.bat script from "nulfastboot -w update" to "nulfastboot update" with the aim of keeping my personal data ("userdata") intact.

I was not able to do the same with my stock, rooted and encrypted Nexus 6 (bootloader unlocked). I have received, in fact, a "missing system.img" error message. I have finally upgraded my encrypted device from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 by flashing manually all the image files with the exception of userdata.img.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
As long as the device is stock (bootloader being unlocked doesn't matter), the flash-all (with or without the -w) will work just fine. (having said that, I'll admit that I've not had any luck getting the flash-all.bat to work, with or without the '-w' - I'm told that's because I was using the older version of fastboot. I unzipped the tar file, unzipped all the individual images, and flashed them in the right sequence instead because I didn't have time to deal with any potential fastboot/driver issues by switching to the new one at that time). I did get a friend's N6 flashed using the new fastboot on his computer though, so I know it works

Having a custom recovery is op's choice. Personally, I didn't bother with one yet because all I need root for (at the moment) is for ad blocker. Haven't been flashing anything yet, so the risk of screwing up is a little less. As a precaution, I back up my data fairly regularly. Worst case scenario, I'll just reflash the images. If XPosed releases their new version for Lollipop, I'll install TWRP at that time :)

These security checks are simply to make sure that the device (not the .bat file used to flash the images) is unmodified. The .bat file is simply providing fastboot commands necessary to flash the image files.

Edit:

Just so you know for next time, that error commonly occurs because user is using the old version of fastboot. If that's the case, install the latest fastboot (for next time).

Huawei OEM info​

Application for Huawei devices, which will help to know flashed vendor.

Description:

Often with official firmware ROM on a device Huawei problem with preinstalled vendor.

If the firmware vendor does not match the vendor that is preinstalled in the device, you have no buttons Wifi, bluetooth, etc. in the statusbar, can not show some features stock ROM and more.

Application reads partition oeminfo and finds predefined vendor. Then you only rename folders in cust that gives the program and it will work.

Ruth is required to access the OEM partition. Without root it impossible to read. For safety reasons, the partition is copied to the phone's memory and read from there. Then copy is deleted.

Tested on:

Huawei Ascend Mate 1

Huawei Ascend P6

Huawei Honor 2

Huawei Honor 3

TODO:

Add the ability to change flashed vendor.

For the functioning of the program, you must have root user privileges.

If you want to thank me, buy me a beer.

UPDATE v.1.1:

Remove advertising

Fixed path to the External storage. Perhaps on some device application will now work correctly.

[Verizon LG G3] Gilliamos:
I got an OEM Qi backplate and charging base for Xmas and was super excited to use it. I haven't had wireless charging since my Palm Pre and have sorely missed it. Get everything laid out and ready to go, drop my phone, and it states it is charging and the pad confirms power is flowing. Come back on hour later; not only did it not charge, it ran my battery down faster than it would if it sat idle. So I try it with the LG OEM charger and cable. Once again, no dice, but at least it didn't run it down faster than at idle.

For grins, I found a friend who has a stock VS985, and tried the same exact charger and cable with my backplate. Of course it works. I searched high and low, far and wide on Google to no avail on an answer why CM11 fails to charge wirelessly.

Here's what I've got:

- VS985 running CM11 nightly 20141225.

- Anker Wireless Qi Base.

- LG OEM Qi backplate, charger and cable.

Any ideas what I can do to resolve this? TIA.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ralphyzinc:
Thanks for the advice.

Tried that already, the problem is that I need english on my phone, and living in Taiwan, the default is chinese. So anyway, after contacting the service dept, they told me that they regulate the IME numbers to the O/S therefore, you can not download a ROM that was not originaly shipped with the device.

Which really makes things difficult for me. Currently I am trying to negotiate with them to update the O/S themselves at the service centre, and would you believe, they have to get Authority from Head Office to make the change.

I really dont understand, its only a firmware image, and since I already bought the phone why are they worrying about what IME number runs what O/S.

Its beyond me.

So anyway, to anyone who is looking to CHANGE the O/S between languages it seems not that easy to do. Just buy the phone with the right language from the start and things will be much easier.
