[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jester123:
So here are my issues so far.

I had static on two calls so far. Then my two last calls, there was no static but the person could hear me.

Miscellaneous unable to send texts.

Also I have internet drop issues randomly, in both good and bad 4g areas.

I'm heading to the Verizon store here in a few to get some help, but i was curious if you guys think this is a hardware or software issue?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] tmotechsupport:
Did some searching and found nothing relevant, I'm thinking because nothing like it may not exist. I have a friend who just sold his Droid x for a thunderbolt and he really liked the blur Widgets. I've been kind of talking up the HTC platform but sense isn't cutting it for him. Are there any blur like widgets anyone knows of? I didn't see anything in the market, he particularly liked the news feeds that updated on there own and let you add multiple feeds to one desktop icon.

Any suggestions are appreciated thanks all:D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisfit2000:
Hi,

I have managed to lose my IMEI and empty my /efs folder. I was using the Gingerbread Beta 2 ROM provided by Whitehawkx on my Samsung Vibrant. Everything was great for me, I was loving it and was using it as daily driver. Until one day, my cell was in my pocket and I realized it was overheated. I removed it from my pocket and saw that it was frozen and had the double rainbow screen. I removed the battery to switch it off and restarted.

Since that moment, I lost all the files under my /efs folder and also lost my IMEI. As a result my phone does not recognize any SIM card. I can use all other functions like wifi, bluetooth, etc. but cannot use any phone functions like calling, sms, etc.

Please please please help me out to resolve this problem. I do not have backup of my /efs folder. I do have nandroid backups of my JFD, JI6 and KA6 ROMs. (if that helps in any way)

I have already tried going back to Stock JFD with clear efs checkbox checked using odin but no luck...

Please Help & Very Thanks in advance...

P.S. Let me know if you need any more details...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisfit2000:
Thanks oka1,

But before your reply I did something because of which I am screwed even more :(

While trying out everything, I flashed my Vibrant with the International Samsung Galaxy S ROM - 'I9000DDJF2'. I also used the CSC file that came with it.

This did not solve my IMEI problem but then now I can't go into Download mode or recovery mode as we do not have the home key that International Galaxy S has.

Please help me get in Download mode or Recovery mode so that I can get back to Vibrant ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
we do have a home button. use that to go to DL mode.

how come did that messed up your eds? was it told that you need to backup your efs folder?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisfit2000:
Got lucky, managed to get into Download mode. Found this post 'http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728698', the key was - "If you still can't enter download mode, you may want to try holding down the volume key + the power button. Plugging in your USB cable may also aid your efforts to enter download mode."

But this does not solve my lost IMEI and /efs problem. I did not know about backing up the /efs folder :-(

I am trying my hardest to try and restore my IMEI...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
just get a replacement. that's the easiest way I think.

is your phone unlocked?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvspencer22:
Hey Im looking now through some old threads, might have a fix.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Backing up /efs will avoid any problems like this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvspencer22:
Potential Fix

I attached a screenshot of the files that should be in your efs folder. When I unlocked my phone, it required deleting all of the nv files besides the log, which leaves -

The .android folder is empty

The .imei file contains your imei number (found under your battery - put it in without slashes)

The imei folder which contains bt.text with your bluetooth mac address and a code file with the word XEN

I would recommend ODIN back to stock, root, set up this file structure (leaving out the nv files), then download the sgs unlock tool, and run it. People have reported success using the unlock tool to rebuild nv_data.

Thanks guys for helping out...

@iynfynity - My phone is unlocked. I can't get replacement since I am not in US. I bought it from ebay.com.

@pvspencer22 - I will try the way that you have mentioned. I thought since I am not in US, I can request someone from US to share their /efs folder contents. A nice guy from xda was ready to do that but then he was not comfortable :-(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FATEOWNZYOU:
Ya I wasn't to comfortable with it. It just doesn't seem safe for me to give someone else my IMEI. And plus I dont think it would work on your phone anyways, because the efs file wouldn't match your phone
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisfit2000:
I tried these ways, no luck :-( Seems that the only possible way to resolve this is if someone agrees to share the contents of /efs folder of a working spare vibrant phone. But then no one is ready to do this...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
Wonder if it could be possible for YOU to give your information from your phone & battery to someone on here that could make edits to their files with your info and send it to you??

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisfit2000:
My original IMEI was 351801041232857.

My phone model is TMo Samsung Vibrant, I bought it from ebay.com.

Not sure what other details would be required as the only thing different is the IMEI, rest would be just as any other Vibrant phone.

Currently I am on stock JFD (downloaded from xda) and my /efs folder is completely empty.

Guys, please let me know if any other information is needed. I would be more than obliged to provide it. I am just trying out all possible ways to resolve the problem and I deeply appreciated each and every message coming my way... This is what makes xda so special...

As I have said, my handicap is that I am not in US, else I could have easily asked T-Mobile to solve this problem for me...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kisfit2000:
How would your phone malfunction? :confused: I am in another country.

Because of the fact that I am not in US, I cannot get a replacement. My only way is to get someone having vibrant sharing their efs folder contents. :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzzz:
Imei are unique. If two phones have the same imei, only one can connect to the network. I understand that you are in another country but the risk is still there.

Your best hope it's to get someone to inject your imei into their folder and upload it to you. I don't know how to do this tho. Goodluck.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zgep:
Hi everyone!

I hope I came to the right forum with this...

I (once upon a time) was a proud owner of a Milestone (A853). Then I was the content owner of a Milestone running Android 2.1. This turned into a disillusioned and never-to-buy-Motorola-again-ever Milestone owner when it took them ages to release an update to 2.2. Now that they did, I'm just plain angry. Their release is so ridiculously bad, it's a beta version at best. Therefore I have finally decided to finally get a custom ROM.

Now I did a bit of googling and found this forum and another site hosting ROMs (theunlockr.com/category/roms-2/android-roms-2/motorola-milestone-roms/ - can't post real links yet, sorry)

Seems like there are quite a few ROMs to choose from. Unfortunately I have no idea which one would be the best for my needs, nor do I know how I'd get them onto my stone...

Things that are important for my are (in that order):

- long battery life

- stable operation

- email via IMAP and Exchange

- camera, gps for My Tracks & Navigation

- sync with google calendar & contacts

- pdf & doc-viewer

- bluetooth and wifi-tethering (the later with WPA2)

- good performance

So I need help with two things: choosing the ROM best meeting these demands, and getting said ROM onto my phone. The tutorials I found so far were not very helpfull to me unfortunately, since they seemed to asume I already knew quite a few things and had a bunch of tools already installed. Is there something like a "dummies guide to flash your Milestone"?

And can someone recommend a certain ROM to me? Preferably one that isn't to hard to find and is easy to flash?

Also, do I loose the stuff stored on my SD-Card when I flash the phone? There are quite a lot of pictures and My Tracks, well, tracks, that I'd hate to loose.

tl,dr: Motorola sucks, I need help in choosing a ROM and getting it on my Milestone.

Thx,

Alex
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mikicishte:
You should try APAC.. long battery time
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eXtink:
I think you need to use TheFroYoMod, it's a very stable and battery friendly ROM. I don't want to brag, but I think my guide is very n00b friendly: CLICK

There is also a list of all ROM's available for the Milestone.

I'm using CM7 at the moment and i really love it, you also need to try this one out.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] drae52:
Installing a ROM doesn't touch your SD card outside of reading the install package.

Your choice of ROM is really a personal thing but a pretty safe bet to start with CyanogenMOD 6; it's one of the most common ROM's and it's very stable. While the Milestone is not "Officially" supported by CM, there are a ton of folks around here that have run it, and are quite familiar with it. Check out the link in the Milestone Dev section of this forum. As a first time flasher I'd stay away from CM7 at this time, it's still in development.

A couple of reminders:

-Your Milestone is not a DROID and is not compatible with DROID ROMS or guides.

-Always insure your battery is fully charged before flashing anything. Having a dead battery with a FUBAR ROM is bad.

-Back-up your stuff! Once you have the custom recovery loaded you can create a "Nandroid" back-up of your stock ROM (basically a disk image) through the custom recovery. This will give you something to fall back on if the ROM softbricks your device.

The guide posted above is a great guide. Way clearer then the one I followed originally. I highly recommend it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zgep:
thx 4 all your posts!

Actually I already flashed cm7rc3 at about 1:30am on sunday, after I worked my way through a lot of tutorials.

It works quite fine, only the galery-app is giving me trouble, but I guess that could be connected to me havin 1.4k photos on my sd-card. Guess it's time for some cleanup!

Thank you drae52 for pointing out the link (and thank you eXtink for putting it in your sig)! Especially the OR part is really helpfull, as I didn't know until now what all the options do and was afraid to touch any. Now I'm definitly looking forward to installing that adblocker!

Now that OR is set up good and propper and I figured out the procedure I think I'll try some other ROMs too in time. Thank you again for your help!

Coming from the Captivate, which was my first Android phone. I never had to flash a kernel. I just downloaded the rom I wanted and flashed that. I have not rooted my Inspire yet, but will be soon. I haven't decided what rom I want to flash yet. It is between a few of them:

1. ClearDroid Inspire

2. CoreDroid Gingerbread 2.3.3

3. LeeDroid v.2.2.2

4. Android Revolution 4.2 B2 Gingerbread

All of them but ClearDroid's requires you to flash a kernel, what is that and how do you do it?

Do I place both the rom and the kernel on to the SD card, flash the rom, then some how flash the kernel? Do I do it the same as in flashing the rom through CWM? What does the kernel do?

Sorry I am still new to rooting and I want to learn more about. Any information would help out..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyboy0172:
The battery on my Evo has been plummeting recently. A while ago I could make 36 hours easy, and now I am lucky to get 12. The reason it seems is cell standby/phone idle, according to battery info. Over the course of last night I went from 85% to 28% while I just slept, and according to battery info these two things are responsible for that.

I'm not sure what they are or how to decrease, however. I read that NV and PRI 1.90 was causing problems for a lot of people so I tried downgrading to 1.77 as suggested, but I have no idea where to find the information to see if I successfully downgraded. I am running CM7 nightly build 23, I have wiped battery stats once and I am currently waiting for the phone to die before charging it again, but this has been going on for quite a few days over numerous roms and battery wipes. If I put my phone into airplane mode, the battery is hardly touched overnight. During the day I need my phone on however and the battery drains just as fast, whether I am using it or not.

Any suggestions?

ps. under accounts and sync the only thing I have set to sync is email by push, I receive only a few emails a day and a couple at night so I don't think that would be the problem. Facebook is also set to sync contacts, but only find status updates and the like when I refresh manually. Twitter, and my google account in there but both of those are set to sync manually.
