[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilkhan9557:
U need a root explorer app and of course root! Also

The steps are little bit tricky...

Step 1

Make a copy of your EFS folder on your sdcard using root explorer and then backup to your computer [ to have another copy if you have to format the sd card sometime ]

Step 2

Delete the EFS folder (Make sure you have the BACKUP in a safe place as mentioned in STEP 1) from the root of your phone using root explorer.

Step 3

Do a Factory Reset. After that, navigate to the root directory of your phone.

Step 4

Go to EFS folder using root explorer; delete “nv_data.bin” and the “nv_data.bin.md5” files.

Step 5

Go to your backed up EFS folder on your sd card, copy the “IMEI” folder to the EFS folder at the root of your phone, then again go to the backed up EFS folder in your sd card and copy the ” .nv_data ” file to your EFS folder at the root of your phone using root explorer.

NOTE: the dot in first of nv_data is not a mistake, copy the “.nv_data” file.

Step 6

Make another copy of the “.nv_data” file in EFS folder in your phone, so you would have 2 copies of “.nv_data” in EFS folder.

Step 7

Rename one of “.nv_data” files to “nv_data.bin” and another one to “nv_data.bin.bak”

Step 8

Open Command Prompt in your Windows PC (Terminal for all you Linux users) at the ADB tool path, or run Terminal at your phone enter these commands:

adb shell (use this command if you use ADB, if you’re using terminal, skip it )

su ( When the option comes up allow the superuser to access the file system by clicking “grant” on the phone screen )

chown 1001:radio /efs/nv_data.bin

Step 9

Reset your phone…. after that you have your original IMEI. you can check your IMEI by dialling *#06#.

You have successfully recovered

It seems to me the nv_data files are not present in the efs folder.

I was just going through steps but I didn't find these files.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mukulkas143:
I have backed up the files before flashing the phone using the twrp & Samsung tool box. But in both of the backups there is no nv_data files available. N currently in efs folder there is no no_data file.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JPT223:
the dot in front of .nv_data means they are hidden. you probably won't see them
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilkhan9557:
Try to Enable "show hidden folders" first
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mukulkas143:
yeah i have done that but still no good as there is no nv_data as well as no bak file.

Now i have no clue what to do next....

about: Samsung S5 G901F

I don't know what i am doing wrong, but I cannot install the xposed framework for Android 6.0.1

What I did so far:

1) installed a new stock rom

2) installed CF auto root, I have a confirmed SU.

3) in Recovery mode I try to install all Xposed framework zips from my SD card, but I always get an error message that the file check was not good.

Please give advice .

you can't install xposed framework on samsung devices on lollipop or marshmallow if its had a stock rom,if you try to..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chihwahli:
I succeeded installing CWM (Clockwork mod recovery).

In short what I did:

1a) Download kies 3 from samsung for the USB drivers to connect to your phone.

1b) Download Odin latest version, or older which comes with a specific software you want to install, usually latest works.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451

1c) Shutdown phone completely. Press volume down + power button + home button at the same time, to enter ODIN download mode.

1d) connect phone by USB and you should see a blue light and COMX, where X can be any number like COM5, etc. If you see this then

the connection between ODIN and mobile is ok. Please don't touch the USB cable as you can easily loose connection. In worst case

you need to Flash any Android stock rom with ODIN again , which can be found at Sammobile for instance. I had to do this because

my phone lost connection and the flash operation failed. When I boot my phone I only saw ODIN screen. Thankfully you can always

flash stock rom back. In my case, I read something about a locked boot loader etc etc... that would be a bit more work....

Unpack until you see a MD5 file. In Odin you click "Phone" or "AP". The file will be checked, that takes about 10 seconds, after that you can press

"start". After flashing you should clear cache and user data, otherwise you will see the Samsung screen for endless time.

1) I have android 6.01 and the CF auto root works perfectly http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980683

Use Odin to flash, put file into phone or AP.

2) downlad CWM from http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/sm-g901f-to-s5-how-to-root-t2882104

Put the file, leave it zipped/packed, dont unpack it, put it into phone or AP again and start the ODIN flashing.

3) download Xposed framework, the right version. I am so far. I downloaded version SDK23, because that is the version for Android 6.0.X, but I got a message that it was for android 5.0 SDK 21, I am puzzled. Will try again.....

[MENTION=2557137]es0tericcha0s[/MENTION], thank you will have a look at that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chihwahli:
Ah, i forgot I got sooo frustrated that I downgraded to 5.x to test the power consumption, if its better than 6.01, that I thought I still have 6.01 installed. But my stock rom is 5.x. downloading again, but now 5.x version ARM. Should work now.....

Edit: Flashed 6.01 android and Xposed ARM SDK23 installs fine...

Also installing Amplify, I read it about it that it works well with Greenify...

Amplify seems to be an impressive piece of software. Ir permits me to limit alarms and wakelocks! I can set the period of time it has to wait until it's alarm or is permitted to wake up. Wow....nice.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kdoweb:
This is so sad as soon as T-mobile let me take this this back I'm going to return my (Replaced v2 Note7) for my money back and maybe buy a used s7 edge til the Note8.

Sprint and AT&T already is letting customers return the newly replaced v2 Note7 for a full refund.

http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/7/13196456/sprint-galaxy-note-7-replacement-exchange

http://bgr.com/2016/10/07/galaxy-note-7-exchange-refund-sprint-t-mobile-att-verizon/

Sprint

Sprint was the first carrier to announce unconditional replacements for any customers with a Note 7. “If a Sprint customer with a replacement Note 7 has any concerns regarding their device, we will exchange it for any other device at any Sprint retail store during the investigation window,” a Sprint representative told Recode.

The return policy will presumably get customers the full retail price of the phone towards another device, and given the big sticker price on a Note 7, customers should be able to pick up just about any other smartphone.

T-Mobile

While T-Mobile doesn’t have a specific policy in place for Note 7 devices, the company also told Recode that customers with a Note 7 can use T-Mobile’s standard 14-day “remorse” policy to return or exchange their phone. The 14-day period starts from when customers picked up their replacement Note 7 devices, so most people should still be covered under that window.

AT&T

AT&T followed Sprint’s lead, telling The Verge that customers with a Note 7 can bring their phones into a store and exchange them for any other smartphone. There’s no specified window on how long you have to bring your device in, but given the ongoing investigation by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, it’s not likely to end any time soon.

Verizon

Verizon hasn’t fully outlined its exchange program, but it has committed to exchanging devices. In a statement, a Verizon spokesperson told BGR “for any Verizon customer concerned about the safety of their replacement Note7 smartphone, they will be able to exchange it for an alternate smartphone. We will provide additional details later today.”
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] CB620:
T-Mobile is allowing it too.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kdoweb:
Cool thx, I'm going to return then.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] j0a0a7:
I'm going to wait and see if turns out to be a second recall. Looks like the carrier are getting jump on it maybe they know already there's going to be another recall. If they do recall it again you can forget about software updates from the carriers. Now I have to decide if I want to get the LG V20 or go back to the iPhone SE if they do a 2nd recall. Battery life on that little phone was awesome. Only phone I managed to get 1 1/2 days of usage before having to charge it. What a ride from the anticipation of receiving the device to this now. At least I got 2 256gb memory cards out of this ordeal.

Wow this sucks, theres no other phone that I like out there right now either. Pixel looks nice but no sd cards kills it for me, the 4k will eat up the sd card, even with unlimited cloud storage. v20 is eh.... and iphone 7... well its an iphone...

Wow I just got my replacement today lol. I'm hoping it's just a one off that exploded I really like this phone and I don't want an official recall on V2.

The Pixel is the only other choice for me too but I don't think the camera on the Pixel will produce the depth that the note 7 does and I love those deep looking shots.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Maris_:
Considering there have been no other reports ov v2 phones melting, I'm inclined to think it's a one-off event so I plan to keep mine until I hear differently. I really like this phone, and being a JOD customer, I don't worry about resale value.

It's over. Even if all three are proven to be false or another recall happens and they actually get it right, no airline will ever let you carry a note 7 again. Even if you get past security the little ***** sitting next to you will probably freak and scream you brought a bomb on the plane.

The average person thinks every phone is a iPhone or a Galaxy, you honestly think they will believe your device is safe if they find out it is a note 7?

If tmobile had any class they would give us at the very least our previous pre upgrade phone free of charge until the next note or whatever you decide to upgrade to. Instead many of us will be forced into buying a phone we don't want, wasting a Jump, etc.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Intub8:
I agree. I wish I could go back to August and just not buy the phone. I traded in my s7 edge and paid $180 to upgrade early. Not to mention the deposit for 2 notes. I will never see that money again. So I can get another s7 edge and be out the cash I paid to upgrade early and have to start back at payment number 1 out of 24. Feel like a rape victim from law and order.

If there is bad news to be had let it be heard. If it isn't true it will come out in the wash, if it is true then consumers should know.

You are literally saying IF the device is dangerous, to simply try your hardest to no make it public.

Dude is this your first phone? My Note 4 would get hotter than any phone I've ever owned depending on what I was doing. Never once did I have to be concerned it would start a fire.

Phones get hot. Plain and simple.

Do you have an official break down of how the problem arises? Do you know exactly how long it takes to go from what one would deem a normal temp to a dangerous one?

You make these statements like its that easy. If this is a thing, again I say IF. Then Samsung should be making a statement and a recall should be started.

No consumer should pay as much as we do for devices and then keep it on fire watch.

This brand loyalty is insane. Phones get hot, it's simply what they do. What they shouldn't do is cause fires.

I was able to return my v2 yesterday for a full refund but had to present a receipt since I got it at a different store. The store rep didn’t check the box for accessories either.

Been looking at the new Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe (QC 821 version) but not sure if I can wait that long. Pixel XL just too fully for me with the large bezel on bottom.

Might just stick with my Note 5 / Nexus 6P for a bit.
