I have the same problem, is there a solution for that?? Please answer!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
Did you install sgs toolbox and used it's check product code function before you deleted your efs? If yes, there is still a chance. If no, there are currently no public fix available yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
We are on the same boat, as what francis posted. No public fix yet but pretty sure there will be.. its just a matter of time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRS_:
the same thing happened to me yesterday when i flashed Cyanogenmod 7, got fake imei but everything worked just fine (call, data, market).

today i deleted everything from efs folder using Root Explorer then installed i9000XWJS5 then, surprise, i got my original imei back.

do not know how and do not know if it will work on you but it worth a try :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulcinella75:
The same thing happened to me.

If I dial *#06# no imei appears.

In order to use the phone everytime I boot up I have to give r/w permission to system folder. Otherwise it doesn't recognize the sim card.

It seems to me that that the device is not anymore able to recognize itself.

If I try to install CM or other AOSP rom I have status 7 error.

In Rom manager I have a window where I should select wich kind of device it is.

In fastweb installer there is a list of devices and I have to choose wich of them I am using.

I know that there is nothing to do with warranty. But is it possible to go back to a stage where it is possible to install AOSP rom?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellboy2703:
don't know it may work or not, but some custom roms make a backup of the efs folder on sdcard under /sdcard/backup/efs or /sdcard/backup/efs-XXX

(XXX= some numbers). you can try to restore it from there.

again don't know for sure...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulcinella75:
Thanks.

I have checked, but there is no backup.

I know the only one to blame it's me.

Do you think that there is anyway to make possible installing AOSP rom?

I know this is probably a common thread, but what's you opinion on the best power manager? I've got wireless off, gps off, and the only thing that the phone does is sync email.

I went to bed last night with 95% charge and this morning it's sitting at 69%. That's some pretty incredible battery usage!
[Android Apps and Games] snowboarda42:
Try out juicedefender. It's a little confusing to set up initially since it lacks clear instructions, but there's a great video on thedroiddemos dot com title'd "how to quadruple your battery life". I'd post it but I'm too new to be allowed to post links.

Also, you won't have the CPU option if your phone isn't rooted. Just fyi...

I am trying to achieve some remote reconnaissance using my phone... I want my phone to run the "droid vnc server" application with the screen off. This would alow me to go for 12+ hours as opposed to 4h.

In computer terms it would be like turning off the monitor. Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oldarney:
This a bump and an update.

I dismantled my phone to install an FFC. During the process I found a display cable. Would the phone boot up and run fine with the display disconnected?
[Liquid S100 General] landworby:
When it runs on charger the battery is drying and the video chip gets overheated, pc doesnt recognize it when connected!The origin of the problem is that some water got inside.I cleaned it with ultra sonic cleaner 3days ago.Then i replaced 4 burned capacitor but nothing changed!

Anyidea?
[Liquid S100 General] raskell:
Voltage on the main board is probably compromised by some resistive elements affected by the soaking. Sounds like time to replace the main board or better yet, time for a new phone. If it even turns on at present you are fortunate.

[General Questions and Answers] foobar1:
Hi there,

my nexus one is stuck in a boot loop and crashed during the "X" animation.

It is not yet rooted but I'm able to boot into flashboot and recovery. If have data on the phone that I need to secure first before reseting or flashing it (like contacts, messages, not synced).

Is there a possibility to backup the data in any way? Or to restore the system without loosing data?

I've heard that with the N1 if I root it I will loose all the data, so this wouldn't be an option. Can I do something with fastboot? Or with the recovery mode?

One idea would be to somehow reinstall the last froyo update with the recovery mode (update.zip on sd card) and to hope that then it is working again. Is that possible?

Any help is really welcome. Thanks a lot.

Ok sorry wrong category here.
[Android Software Development] raydan:
hi all ;)

i'm looking for a tun.ko for OpenVPN with Samsung Galaxy S FroYo JPP/JPO ... is there something out yet or already in developement? (or any alternative... i want to connect to a cisco vpn)

thx in advance
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I don't have a Galaxy, nor do I know much about them, but I have compiled this module for HTC phones. Do you know if the kernel source for "Galaxy S FroYo JPP/JPO" (actual version running on your phone) is available? If so, I'm pretty sure I could compile a module for you.

Hi all,

I'm intrested for the same module tun.ko.

If somebody can provide it

Thanks
[Android Software Development] raydan:
couldnt find it yet... if someone does pls post the link for gene or someone else ;)
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I can try to find it. Type this in a command window for me:

and post the results.
[Android Software Development] raydan:
hmm im probably too stupid :(

i couldnt get adb shell working on windows 7 (followed some tuts but none worked for me... always "error: protocol fault (no status)" (yes i dled everything and enabled usb debugging @ my sgs)

so i installed a shell app on my mobile and ran "uname -a" into it.. here is the result:

Linux localhost 2.6.32.9 #6 Wed Oct 20 17:47:45 CEST 2010 armv7l GNU/Linux

hope thats what you were looking for ;)

btw an vpnc version would also be very appreciated (if its not a ****load of work ;) )
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Well, I've been searching all over and I can't make any sense out of all the Galaxy stuff. I don't own one and so I'm not up on all the jargon and what the current state of the custom ROMs is so, I'm sorry, but I can't find a repository of the kernel source.

If anyone could point me to it, I'd be happy to try and compile it, but otherwise, I'm stuck.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
I have the G.O.T 2.2.1 installed and CM6 mod on my Milestone. I have removed ADW Launcher and installed Launcher Pro Plus as default home.

Many times when I'm inside an application and hit the Home button in order to get onto the Home default screen...the icons and widgets are not there and it takes 10-15 second for them to appear...It's kinda frustrating and I have to say that I was using the same Settings under the 2.1update1 stock and the launcher worked without these issue...

Does anyone know how to fix this?Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] greglord:
If you'd search for "lag" "launcher" in Motorola Milestone forums, you would have found this:

It should help. :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
Thanks. I already tried this. I always search before asking.

Doesnt fix the issue for me...Still having the same lag! Any other ideas?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] darklipslide:
I have also tried every fix I could: Disabling Window Animations, the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ hack, low memory profiles for LauncherPro, but it ultimately boils down to the fact that the Milestone/Droid's RAM is the issue, as I've actually had this very same issue affect ADW launcher as well, and I'm sure it would creep up on other Homescreen replacements too

GOT 2.2.1 might make the issue worse because they might have baked in some things that take up a lot of memory, and when android reaches a point where it needs to kill stuff, it forces the widgets out of memory.

There's apparently a complete re-write of LauncherPro coming in the next few months, but even then I'm not sure it will be much help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] darklipslide:
I have tried this, and it eventually comes back.

This issue doesn't want to go away easily :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
Yes...As you can see I have deleted my "Later Edit" because after a reboot...the problem came back...

I'm having the same issue with watching live stream in the browser and some flash contents...It plays for a while...then it closes the browser...

I guess these things will be fixed when the final version of FROYO for our Milestone will be released...

Until then...maybe somebody is wise enough to help us! Thanks!

can this script use for moving /data/data to EXT2?

if can, from where i should start type the script?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] a9u5_h:
i'm still newbie on this

so i'm alittle bit confused, i hope you can help me and sorry for my bad english

i'm already succes from step 1 to step 11

but i'm little confused at step 12

can you explain how to make the script?

should i make those 2 script via notepad++ and then copy it to /system/sd and then continue to step 13?

or should i just type everything on step 12 after step 11 in cmd prompt?

the problem is, if i make the script from notepad++ the android system will just discard my mount point when i restart my phone

and if i just type everything on the step 12 in comand prompt, when i'm type chmod 555 install-recovery.sh and chmod 555 init-sd2.sh like in the step 13, it always say that install-recovery.sh and init-sd2.sh file is not found?

so what should i do?

i'm stuck on step 12
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andikasuhendar:
step 12, type it on notepad++ and then you have to change the extension of the file with .sh, after that copied the 2 files to /system/etc
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] a9u5_h:
i've already done that

but when i make the script via notepad ++, i'm already make the save type become .sh, so isn't it just the same?

but when i reboot the phone it's still not working :confused:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andikasuhendar:
@agus

about the scripts, u can check with root explorer, try to view the script and make sure it was the exact same from the script above, coz i experience the same problem for the first time i try this. if u sure that the script are same then try to execute it using root explorer and then go to titanium backup and see if there is there is another storage (usually there is internal and SD card only).

@stasic

use the root explorer to copy the script to /system/etc, don't forget to change the root explorer option from R/O to R/W, this option should be on top of the page, just touch it to change from R/O to R/W.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] a9u5_h:
veeeerrrryyyyyyyyy biiiiiiigggggggggggg thaaaaaaannnnnkkkkkssssss brrroooo :D:D:D

you was right, after i check the script via root explorer, the script was not the same, after i fix it, everything works like a charm :D:D:D

go to the /system/etc and see if it already R/W or still R/O

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
@siap

In your PC command prompt execute:

adb shell

Make sure you are loged in as root and in ADB SHELL try this:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/stl12 /system

Then execute:

mount

If your mount result has a line like the one bellow, with the rw set, you'll be able to copy the files.

/dev/stl12 /system rfs rw,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] arthurpsn:
Are you sure you are loged in as root? Maybe your /system is mounted as Read Only. Try to execute the same steps here:

http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?posts/9525607/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
Did you partition your new SD CARD as stated on step 2? Please run a 'mount' command and post the result back here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
I need more info to help you out. Please describe in details which steps are failing and what errors you are getting.

About the guide, I'm glad you like it. In fact it is a step by step tutorial, but the proccess is completely manual, that is why I warned about the need of some linux experience. I know it's not easy and I will try to help everyone as best as I can.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
At some extent, yes, it is just like that. To be more precise, the .apk file will get installed in /system/sd, which is your mounted sdcard partition. However, when you install an application on android, some files are installed into the /data/data folder, which is not covered by my guide. If you want to move /data/data folder to the sdcard partition you will need to:

1 - Create 'data' folder into /system/sd

2 - Copy everything into /data/data to /system/sd/data

3 - Edit /system/etc/init-sd2.sh to add the following command:

mount -o bind /system/sd/data /data/data 1>>$MYLOG 2>>$MYLOG

4 - Reboot your phone

Is this guide works for 2.2 version?

Because the 2.2 is already released
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mattefacit:
Yes, of course I've done all steps. Here is the mount result in ubuntu linux:

mount: /media/ext2 is not a block device
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
In ubuntu linux? You were supposed to type the mount command on android prompt, using adb shell.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mattefacit:
Yes I know but the adb shell does not give any output on results when you type a command?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
I'm not sure. My phone is a GT-I5500B, the update wasn't released for my phone yet. I will try it out when available.

It should work if:

- You can still get root on 2.2

- The init.rc still calls /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as root
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
Only if the command fails. But I was telling you to type plain 'mount' without any parameters. It should list all mountpoints of your phone. Like that:

# mount
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mattefacit:
Ok, I'm a dunce...

Here is the result:

Wooops! Forgot that I took out my SD card before... So, now it's the right code (with sd card mounted)^
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
Your /sdcard mountpoint is not mounted. When you start your phone, disconnected from PC, are you able to access files on the SD CARD? If your answer is yes, go to your phone, scroll the notification bar down, and turn off the option to mount the SD CARD into your PC. After that place again the mount result here.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] r2beta0:
Your df and mount commands seem to be correct. Your partitions are mounted and you have enough space. The problem with android system info is normal and I too use this app.

However I did not understand your problem installing new applications. Are you saying you are unable to install any new app?

Did you check for correct ownership and permissions for the/data/app and /data/data folders?
