[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alexalexalex09:
So, two steps forward and three steps back. I did install the new ROM. Initially, it appeared to work, because I was able to dial *#7284# to access the service mode menu and change UART to MODEM, and then dial *#0808# to access the USB Settings menu and change that to RMNET+DM+MODEM. After that, the phone showed up under COM5 in the Device Manager. I opened up QPST Configuration and added COM5 (labelled it "COM5") under ports. However, the phone never showed up (Phone column read "No Phone").

I then tried EFS Professional, but it was unable to detect the phone. I opened up the command line and tried an adb shell, but it didn't connect. Of course, the phone was in RMNET+DM+MODEM mode, not and ADB mode. I then went back into USB settings, changed it to DM+MODEM+ADB, and reconnected the phone. The phone wasn't detected by the computer, and hasn't been since.

I've restarted the phone and the computer multiple times (Windows 7 32 bit), uninstalled the phone drivers, reinstalled them in two different versions, uninstalled and reinstalled QPST (removing the relevant registry entries in between installs), and went through a number of combinations of settings on the phone. I tried with UART set to MODEM and PDA, with USB settings set to DM+MODEM+ADB, RMNET+DM+MODEM, MTP, and MTP+ADB. I made sure superuser was installed correctly and that developer mode was enabled. I still have not gotten the phone to charge in that USB port or show up in Device Manager in any way, even though the USB port on the computer still functions (can access flash drives from it). I plan to do some more googling and troubleshooting about this, but I haven't had the time to yet. On Wednesday I'll hopefully have a minute to try using my work laptop to access the phone. I think once I get the phone to be recognized via USB again I'll be able to have QPST Configuration recognize it, then I'll be able to use that RF NV Item Manager to enter in the new IMEI.

Also, in potentially unrelated news, my install of Titanium Backup is unable to recognize any apps I backed up, even ones that have been previously restored. It sees them in the backup folder (backup folder location says this folder contains 52 backups), but no apps wee listed in the backup/restore tab. Maybe this has something to do with the mount namespace separation setting in SuperSU? I'll test that later.

Some newer ROMs will install but not give you cell service without the newest bootloader and modem.

Try flashing the last release of CM11. I would not touch the bootloader, modem, or EFS folder until you try an older ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alexalexalex09:
Thanks for chiming in, but I don't understand how this applies. I was on CM11 when my IMEI was removed. When you lose your IMEI, the main symptom is that you can't connect to 4g anymore, and you're stuck on EDGE, which is what happened in my case. I can in fact make calls and send texts, and even load web pages without wifi. It's just slow and prone to call dropping.

As for your advice to install an older ROM, I just flashed a stock ROM, the one linked above. It didn't cause my current lack of USB connection, because I had a USB connection for a while until I changed the UART and USB settings.

I definitely will not touch the bootloader - I've been warned about the dangers of downgrading from an MJB bootloader. I'm not sure what you mean by not touching the modem, but I'm going to assume it's as scary/difficult as the bootloader, so I'll be sure to stay away from changing that too.

As far as not touching the EFS folder, as far as I see it, that's my only way out of this hole, because my end goal is to replace the IMEI that I randomly lost last week, and that's part of the EFS folder in some way that hasn't been explained to me (although I know it has to do with NV settings, maybe some file called nvdata.bin that I've never found, or the /EFS/IMEI folder?). So I think I have to ignore that bit of advice, unless you can give me a good reason to change my goal in all this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alexalexalex09:
I should note that I took a look at my EFS folder while writing this last post, and it's completely empty now. So that's fun.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I suggested flashing back to an older ROM because you made some changes since your original post.

I suggested not touching the bootloader, modem, and EFS because flashing an incompatible bootloader/modem combination can hard brick the phone.

Since your bootloader and modem match, I'm out of suggestions other than perhaps visiting a repair shop to have it fixed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alexalexalex09:
Thanks for the clarifications. I did visit a shop to see if they could fix it, and all I got were blank stares and people who don't want to deal with IMEI repairs. So back to my own attempts! I realized a couple days ago that my problem in connecting to the computer is that I've developed a crack on my phone's USB port. Also, I think my home desktop's messed up. So with a nice, sturdy cable I installed all the necessary program on my work laptop (Samsung Drivers, ADB, ES Professional, and QPST just for fun). I tried ES Professional first and by using the Qualcomm NV tools I was able to restore my IMEI! I rebooted the phone and now by dialing *#06# I see my IMEI followed by "/ 17".

So now onto the next problem: Still no 4g signal. Under Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks, there are some errors. I only have one APN, named "ATT Phone" with an APN of "phone" and an MMSC of mmsc.mobile.att.net, and under network operator it simply says "Default Setup". Some research later, I realized this is a common problem, and I guess it has to do with my NV Data being messed up. Obviously, item 550 (0x226) is correct, which I was able to verify using a program called NV-items-reader-writer, but something else is screwed up. Peoplearmy has released a tool that can restore a backup up QCN file, which of course I don't have, so I'm in the process of seeking help from a generous soul who has an app that might help me. Apparently I could also use someone else's NV Items backup, replacing their IMEI with my own. But, I don't have one, so I'm stuck waiting on someone to be nice to me :)

I did try the method posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1808408&page=16

But it didn't work. This thread and this thread and this thread were helpful to me for research.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alexalexalex09:
I got it! Problem solved!!

So what I realized after going back over those research threads quickly was that I was using Peoplearmy's QCN generator incorrectly. Here's how I fixed it.

1. Opened QPST, followed directions here to connect my phone and start up QPST Software Download.

2. Having already injected my IMEI, I used the backup tab to make a backup.

3. I opened Peoplearmy's SG3QCNGenerator and imported the QCN file that QPST just created. I left "inject IMEI" unchecked, since I already had my original IMEI. I clicked Save As to set the directory and name of the new file, and clicked the Verify IMEI button that appeared to verify that it was correct.

This was the step I had missed - because I never had a valid QCN file to import, I never was able to create a new QCN file. My error in thinking was that, since my current QCN file was obviously messed up, I couldn't use it to make a new QCN file, but that's the whole point of this software.

4. Once I had the new QCN file, I went back to QPST's Software Download program and used the Restore tab. The QCN file generated by Peoplearmy's tool didn't match my model number, but I approved it anyway. It restored the QCN file correctly, but it had an error when it tried to reset the phone.

5. I rebooted the phone manually, and I now have 4G signal!

So, to summarize the difficulties I had:

1. I didn't make an nvbackup before I flashed CM a year ago, and it didn't hurt me until now.

2. I lost my IMEI and couldn't restore it because 1) I was on CM, which stopped me from putting my phone in DM + MODEM + ADB mode and 2) The computer/cable I was using to work on my phone, for whatever reason, were being stupid.

3. I didn't understand that in order to fix my phone I needed to restore my IMEI and repair my nv items (.qcn file)

4. I didn't realize that I could use Peoplearmy's tool to take a messed up nv items qcn file, fix it, and restore it to my phone.

All the tools I ended up needing: Samsung Drivers, ADB, ES Professional, QPST, and Peoplearmy's SG3 Data Restorer. Hope this helps someone else out there.

Hye, I just bought a new Xiaomi redmi note 4G from a telco in my country as it was recommended by a friend of mine. The problem is that the phone seems to be very laggy after a week of usage. I ask my friend and we did a comparison on the apps called "CPU-z" and my phone's model shown is HM NOTE 1LTE while his was HM NOTE 1LTEW. The build is also different, He said he never experienced any lag. Is my phone another fake xiaomi or what? can you help me?

It seems like the problem is related to high volume of extra information that Google appends & prepends to the target URL for a news article. Typing in the target URL unadorned with extra info seems to work fine. It doesn't make for a usable Google news, though.

Hi Everyone,

I have been using CM12 Nightlies since they were out and have had better battery life than CM11s untill the last 2 weeks when battery life has gone half. With the same Usage, i now get to about 35% remaining over 6 hours , where earlier i would still have 60-65%.

I thought it was a passing thing with the nightlies but the problem did not go. Hence did a bit of testing today. Following are the results.

What is bothering me specifically is even basic usage of Facebook/Chrome is draining battery at 1% every 4 minutes or so.

I would like to know if this kind of battery drain is common or is it specific to my device.

This was mostly testing the idle battery time. I will be conducting a normal usage test tomorrow.

After I rooted my Z1C and installed SlimKat, it stopped happening. Since I got my Z3 I haven't been able to figure it out at all. The closest I got was to install a custom lock screen and have Tasker check for BT Connected and [custom lockscreen] started then wait 1 ms and turn the screen off. That used a ton of battery. I guess it's a solution if you find a way to stop the battery drain. Went from 5+ SoT to less than 3 in a day.
