Yup. All is well, all back to normal.

Thank you guys.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microcej@gmail.com:
Hi to all!

I know this post is old but for a month Ive been trying to solve the same problem stated here, but with a Not4 N-910H.

I had stock rom (the one that came with cell phone) and installed Simple rom. I had installed TWRP 3.1.1.0, made a backup of all, included EFS and MODEM.

THen I wanted to go back to stock cause nfc did not work well. So I booted to twrp, whent to RESTORE, swipe to restore and getting warnings unable to find /efs and the same for /modem.

And now it boots and stays with front blue led blinking and samsung logo stuck even after almost 1 hour waiting.

I read this post and did EVERYTHING said here even I flashed no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip (by [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]) and nothing.

Tried to use ADB but can't get connected, it says Device offline using adb found here in XDA Dev.

Downloaded platform-tools from android and cant get connect.

So I would like to know HOW you got your tablet talk with your pc thru adb?

I flashed N910HXXS2DQE3 Full Repair Firmware with Odin using the 4 files and no way to boot. Then tried AP, from the same 4 file file, and nothing.

I love this phone and it was a gift from a late friend whom past a few months ago.

Thank you in avanced if there is some I can do to make this baby walk again.

Best regards from Argentina
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightn1ng:
you need to go to advanced -> adb sideload in twrp to enable adb in recovery

don't mess with /data/media as afaik that is where twrp stores its backups - you really don't want to lose that efs backup

best of luck

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microcej@gmail.com:
Hi Lightning

I did that, have download almost every adb driver and even instaled sdk from google.

But when I go to ADB Sideload, swipe to run it and then do a ADB SHELL or ADB DEVICES everthing goes aok till I get the number with offline.

I have the same problem as stated here, led blinking and stuck in bootanimation, I even left it that way for an hour and nothing, but with a N910H with stock 6.0.1, TWRP instaled.

Have windows 8.1 with all the updates but cant communicate N910H with PC and used the ADB 15 secods taken fron XDA.

I just want to do what try what [MENTION=5906344]samtree[/MENTION]ee did in post #73 to see if it works for me too.

Thank you very very much for the reply!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You don't need ADB, just use the terminal in TWRP.

Just leave out the ADB and SU commands.

Also, ADB may work if you disable MTP first.

As lightning said DO NOT lose that EFS backup. Move it to the SD card.

Lastly ensure you are restoring with the same TWRP that made the backup.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microcej@gmail.com:
Thank you ashyx!

In TWRP terminal i wrote

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

mkdir /efs

mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

In this last command got error.

Pic 1,2 and 3 are the command I wrote and executed, and what the phone gave back

I get error when executing "mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p17"

I do have my back up of SimplROM_v6C, which worked perfect and then I flashed AirRom, used it about 2 weeks and then restored SimlRom and the first thing I noticed is no data network, wifi worked perfect and could make and receive calls.

Then I turned off the phone and when tirned on it got stuck on bootanimation.

Thank you again for assisting me cause I really need it for work
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
The last command won't work as its attempting to mount a block device. A block device needs to be mounted to a particular location.

It's not necessary anyway.

All that matters now is that the EFS partition has been recreated.

Reboot TWRP and then try and restore your EFS backup.

First you might want to run this command to list all block devices and see if EFS is mounted to block mmcblk0p17 :

ls - laR /dev/block

Hi [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]

I did what you said, the ls - laR /dev/block,

You can see results in Fig.1

Fig 2 is my backup I did BEFORE any errors

I only left marked EFS folder when restoring

And the result of that resrore can be seen in Fig 3

And if I reboot to system the cell boots and stays in blinking blue led and bootanimation stuck.

To be honest I dont really understand what Im doing with all these commands even though Im reading about them so to sort of understand.

Again thank you so much for helping!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Sorry this is the command you need. For some reason a space was introduced.

ls -laR /dev/block
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microcej@gmail.com:
Ok [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]

I ran the as you recent said and in Figs are the results

Hope it helps

Just to be save Ill recall the I flashed a 6.0.1 stock rom, then flashe twrp 3.1.1.0, reboot to recovery and formated DATA, rebooted to recovery and flashe your no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip.

Then the rest you told me to do.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
OK lets make this easier:

ls -laR /dev/block > /sdcard/block.txt

This will save the output to a file called block.txt
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microcej@gmail.com:
ashyx,

This is what appears when running "ls -laR /dev/block > /sdcard/block.txt" or ls -laR /dev/block > /sdcard/block.txt
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
That's fine, look under /sdcard for block.txt then post it here.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microcej@gmail.com:
Ok [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION],

Here it goes, hope its the one ashyx!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Unfortunately that's the recovery log.

You are looking for a file called block.txt on your internal storage under /sdcard
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microcej@gmail.com:
[MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION],

There is no block.txt on the sdcard

What should I do?

---------- Post added at 03:37 ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 ----------

Copied everthing on th sdcard to my notebook,

Then put sdcard back to phone and formated the sdcard to see if that helps

Ran the ls -laR /dev/block > /sdcard/block.txt with the same error shown in post #90
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
OK lets send it to the micro sd instead :

ls -laR /dev/block > external_sd/block.txt
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microcej@gmail.com:
Sorry [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION],

Get the same error again:crying:

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackspy_:
Good evening gentlemen,

i have an old SM-T719, that i would like to give away to my daughter, as it is not used here. it's been laying around for quite a while. so i wanted to fresh it up and clean it up. now, i find wifi not working. it installed about every possible ROM - but no wifi. telephony works fine though. now i am back to the earliest working 6.0.1.

i tried a debloatings script, that also promised a wifi fix - which didn't help. looking into the script, to see what files it was looking for and comparing the EFS to another old tablet (T705), i find that they are not present on the T719. neither in /etc nor in /efs is anything called "nvram". both tablets are on 6.0.1. (i can be more specific, if that's needed).

so my question: can i just execute the commands, which samteeee used, to get a fresh EFS to reactivate the wifi ?

btw. i don't care about any data on the tablet. everything needed, can be restored.

so, let's see if this thread can be re-activated once again :)

with many thanks and my best regards from Switzerland
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackspy_:
so i did, under the running system:

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

ls -al /efs empty

mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 /efs

reboot

no joy: telephone works but no wifi nor bluetooth.

anyone have another idea on how to fix this issue ?

thanks

Hello,

I need some members to test my Unofficial Temasek Rom 6.0.1 for HTC One M8 (2014)

You can see my build HERE for OnePlus One

Since i don't have this device, i can't test it before share on XDA.

If someone is interested please leave here your comment. Be aware that this testers may know the basis about testing, i mean that, you must to have perfect knowledge about the risks and you know all necessary precautions to do this. (backup of everything that can be damaged).

Thanks in advance
[One (M8) General] KH_Lionheart:
I'd be happy to test it, not quite sure how to pull logs when things aren't working but I can learn. There is no real danger of damage to the device right? I know without testing there is the chance it won't boot or will have stability issues, but there aren't any chance of device damage right? Worst case scenario, it bootloops or won't boot and I just have to do a full wipe and flash something else or restore a back up.
[One (M8) General] FSadino:
I don't need logs I just need to know if it boots and if any feature doesn't work. It may not boot or bootloop but you can easily restore a previews backup or flash a working ROM. I will build today and upload to my Android file host tomorrow. Thanks in advance for your help

hello,

i am sick and tired of CyanogenOS phones, Xiaomi phones and many others. right now in a few footsteps away from passing my mi5 to girlfriend and 'upgrade' to z3 compact.

last time i had sexperia active and it was a solid choice. gave it away to a friend after year of use.

i checked z3 compact specifications, readed threads and phone seems to be able to fit my needs.

i want to know about cyanogenmod support. is there a proper support? i want _all_ available hardware features to be properly functioning. is there something missing?

i don't care about camera 'quality' as long as it is working and able to make photos/videos in 'emergency' situations :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phre5k:
It works, but I'd recommend flashing a custom kernel (e.g. for camera DRM, because without the DRM functions the quality is utter bollocks).

Are you saying that the Sony DRM features are working on CM12 or 13? Are you running a custom rom or stock on your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jay_d_:
Hello all -

I have a Galaxy S7 dual SIM 930FD. I had previously rooted and installed TWRP and was not having any problems.

I updated bootloader and modem and installed Superman ROM. I also changed my CSC to USA AT&T. I had the international version and its own CSC was the UAE

When I booted up, everything was working except for my SIM. So, I tried changing CSC to UAE via the CSC TWRP file - that did not help.

Then, I went to ODIN and flashed the home CSC from my stock firmware. It got hung up and never completed.

From there, my phone now says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"

I have tried both Smart Switch and Kies. Neither one connects. What is worse is that no matter what I do, I cannot get into download mode, so Odin, Kies, and Smart Switch do not recognize my device.

If I could only get into download mode (I've tried every combination of power, home, volume up/down that I could think of or have found on the web), then I might be able to Odin back to stock and start over.

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone.

Main problem now is that it is not recognizing the SIM card (which works on another phone) - so I'm doing a complete firmware recovery with smart switch. Hopefully that will work.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asj0422:
I'm having an issue that I can't seem to solve, and was hoping you guys might have a solution: under voice settings in the google app, the ok google detection option is grayed out, and inaccessible. Also, apparently the ok google detection itself is disabled, and only works from the google now launcher. (the launcher i'm using right now is the leaked nexus one, flashed in recovery.) (I'm systemless rooted with stock nougat 90G build.) The voice trigger doesn't even work in the google app unless i have the google now launcher set as my default launcher.

Other relevant info:

-i've checked the app permissions for stuff like google play services, the google app, etc. they all have microphone access.

-if i go into my security settings (system), and try to set up smart lock with voice detection, the ok google detection of the app opens. from there, i was able to get a workaround and re-enable the "ok google" hotword from any screen, but interestingly enough, the trusted voice option is grayed out and inaccessible, while the option to have it enabled from the google app was still checked.

-this sort of solves my issue, but it's really only treating the symptoms of the problem, not the source/cause of the problem, as i'd really like to find out what's going on with the option being unavailable in the google app's settings.

-a reboot didn't fix the issue
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asj0422:
Another question: when looking at the app info for the google app, and then under storage, it doesn't have a regular clear cache and storage like other apps do, but instead a manage storage option that deletes search history. if i clear this, does it only wipe my local data, or does it wipe my search history from my google account? I'd like to try wiping the app data to see if that fixes the issue, but i don't want anything cleared from my google account.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Falk:
Ok folks, I know this is something that has been said to be impossible to do beforehand, but I want to know how far we can push it - I am offering 1,000.00 USD to the one brave developer who finds a solution to reroute all audio (be it music or VoIP data) to the *earphone speaker* of the whole HTC WM5/6 lineup in software only. 50% of the devices are not enough, it has to be all of them. It also has to be a new development that can be integrated into other WM software easily and that remains exclusively under my rights unless I decide otherwise.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ww2250:
sounds interesting... though I am no coder. But it seems a bit too difficult - for 100% of HTC WM5 and WM6, if not entirely impossible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Falk:
Yes, it might be downright impossible since people said before that HTC didn't implement the possibility to do this on the hardware level. But if there is even a slight possibility I want to enable people to put some more work into it. I hope that there is a solution after all and if the compatibility mark drops to 90% it would still be ok (just you get nowhere if you start low ;-))

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpde:
But Android already has a perfectly working system to hide notification content before unlocking the device. You can even pick which apps to show and which ones to hide. And, most importantly, it's OPTIONAL. And it's actually much better at protecting your privacy. With the bell, all the content is visible without actually unlocking your phone.. it just makes it more inconvenient to access.

On the US model, there's a theme titled "Stock Android". When using that theme, you can open up the app drawer, press and hold on an app, and on the top of the screen there's a "Disable" option.
