Flash back to a stockish rom and exchange with Samsung.

Or

Odin to stock + Factory reset and exchange with Samsung.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bvzxa3:
Ok Ill take my post back...this happened with my Sprint S2 coming from CM9 and going back to stock android. With the Sprint S2 there was the eeprom issue with the bug inside the Exynos processor (been a while) and it messes up the efs and eeprom and now it's dead. TW performance varies, however I have gotten over stock android since I occasionally get my hands on a nexus device to run. since I have had my Note 2 I just stick with TW roms. It's just lately in my line of work I get a lot of people who mess up their efs trying to unlock or fix imei problems. Pleas forgive my rashness.

No EFS Folder

Hi

I had the same issue with my note 3. You just lose wifi. That was the only noticeable thing which wouldnt work. But my note 3 used to work on some AOSP roms (Wifi too).. Try loading an AOSP rom and see if that helps with the wifi.

There are online postsdetailing the steps to repair this (for Note 3) . Never worked for me, but a lot of people replied it worked for them. I also saw an online repair service which would fix that for 60 bucks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
I have lost EFS just by flashing. It can happen when going from AOSP to TW if you don't get a good clean wipe, or if either of the ROMs was not compiled correctly, or if you get a bad download.

Has anyone tried using Kies. When this happened on my Note 2 there was an "emergency recovery" feture in Kies that allowed you to restore the stock firmware. If you can't do it in Kies youself I believe the Samsung rep at Best Buy should be able to Emergency recover your device. It basically flashes it back to the stock software that came on it when it was built.

How to Unbrick or Restore your Samsung Firmware with Kies, Universal Met...: https://youtu.be/LqoX7wNhotk

Fixed my Note 2 no problem. I had to re-root it and do some ODIN flashing to get it back to the firmware I wanted but it fixed the phone.

Also just curious, in TWRP it defaults to making a backup of your EFS when you backup your ROM, Is there a reason why you would have unchecked that box. You should ALWAYS keep a backup of the stock ROM or a minimal the EFS from it.

Recently, I've been experiencing tremendous LAG on my XOLO Q1000. The device is rooted and is running stock Jellybean 4.2.1. I have Xposed Framework running with GravityBox. I've been using these for the past 6 months, but I haven't had any issues. But of late, the phone seems to

hang very frequently, and takes a lot of time to open up apps.

(Even the app drawer takes about 3 seconds to open up). I checked the running apps tab in the settings, but that did not show up anything unusual. I also checked the storage status, I have ~300MB of free space on my internal storage, which totals upto 30% of the total storage. also, I regularly clean up the cache. Yet,the RAM usage described is pretty high. Please help me with this issue. What could be the possible solution?
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Thank you for using XDA Assist. Android uses RAM different than windows. There's an old saying "unused ram is wasted ram". Lag can be caused by many things and a factory reset is often required. I would check on your devices' help forum to see if others are experiencing the problem and what they are doing about it. Here is a link to the forum. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/help
[XDA Assist] SidSethu:
Thanks for the advice!

Thanks, but the problem is that there is excessive RAM usage even when I'm not running any apps, as can be seen in the screenshot. And a factory reset means that I shall lose all my apps(Unless i perform a full backup), which i don't want.

Also, my device is a XOLO Q1000, not the galaxy note 3, the link to which you have posted. Still, thanks for the effort.

Cheers! :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] manigma:
Been using it for over a year now. Absolutely loving it every day. I am on 4.4.4 (LB with root).

The battery life is just amazing. In sleep mode it drains just 1% in 8 hours. After rooting I got rid of much bloatware and the performance increased 5-10%.

I can't find any other phone with this screen size and this class except Nexus 6. Which is of course faster and has amoled screen. But is thicker and has poor battery performance (and smaller screen size).

I wish Sony brings Z Ultra II soon with same screen size as ZU but Amoled and Snapdragon 810 and double the RAM. :cowboy:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] manigma:
It will be good for Sony (and us) if they release one good Ultra upgrade every 2-3 years. Keep it separate from normal Z series.

And name them as Z Ultra II and then Ultra III. Sounds cool to me.

I am able to download music from Gaana app in my phone by finding the location where the songs are stored but the same cannot be done by Wynk App.

Did anybody found a way for Wynk App. wynk stores songs in storage/android/com.bsbportal.music

Anyone was able to identify the format Wynk uses for its files. I can see all the files in 'com.bsbportal.music/files'.

The files don't have an extension are either encrypted or in a format playable by the app only.

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to rooting so tell me if i need to give more info etc cause I know i can be a bit vague.

So I rooted my phone no problem via the all in one kit thing and installed cyanogen, but this was right before the big android update so I wanted to switch back and update to that, but somewhere along the line i got rid of all the Roms (I think)

The stage it's at now: I can boot normally but the startup wizard fails, I assume this is because the stock operating system isnt hooked up to run, regardless I can't find a copy or figure out how to run it. (before my TWRP seemed to stop running on startup)

Bootloader: I don't know how it ended up relocked after I'd unlocked it but am guessing that is why i cant access the custom recovery at the moment (twrp)

If anyone is able could you walk me through, or point me to a guide to show:

How to unlock a relocked phone,

How to get a Stock version of Android (anything after 4.0 I guess because it will auto update?) running on there

Tell me if I'm being dumb in any part of this (apart from pissing about with things I don't understand, haha)
[XDA Assist] Redijedeye:
OK, So i'm unlocked and back onto TWRP, that was easy though, What I do need help with is working out how to install the factory Operating system again, last time I tried that is what caused the relocking etc so any help would be amazing.

Hi Folks!

It is a simple guide to backup and restore efs and others partitions in your device, i use to backup IMEI and avoid " emergency calls only ".

Requirements:

Terminal Emulator

EFS Professional Backup - thanks a lot [MENTION=1834730]lyriquidperfection[/MENTION] for the great program!

BusyBox

Drivers update

USB Debugging ON

Root

Guide (BACKUP):

Open EFS Professional Backup and wait to check some requirements, then go to Backup tab;

In "Devices Filters" select 'All partitions';

In "Devices Partitions" choose: modem, efs, modemst1, modemst2, fsg, fsc, backup, dbi, ddr and pad [modemst1 and modemst2 for dual sim devices];

Then press backup button and save this file :D.

Guide (RESTORE):

To restore just find file in "Backup Archives" and press restore button.

Method 2 thanks for [MENTION=5216756]jackeagle[/MENTION]:

Open terminal emulator and write: su

Allow root permission if asked

Write this: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/efs.img bs=4096

Look at your internal storage for efs.img (14 mb)

If saved your device don't forgot press thanks button :)

Do not use other Device EFS Partition .. IMEI is unique for every device and every device which is manufactured will be given different IMEI no hence you cannot use any other device IMEI its against the law... if you have not done backup of efs partition then you may have to take your device to your Samsung Service Center and they will repair it for you .. :)
