have you ever try FLASHING MJ5 BOOTLOADER after flash the rom android 4.3?. or maybe use this method from dr.ketan http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=47372682 usually 4.3 will need fix wifi and reroot after flashing them,

Without any form of backup of your efs (are you sure you don't have a Twrp or CWM backup with it?) Then you basically will have to either inject a working, non-GN2 imei from a phone that isn't blacklisted from your carrier. Or figure out if there is a newer way (maybe someone came out with a fix that I'm unaware of) to restore your imei (printed behind the battery of your phone) either way if you want your phone to connect cellularly than you'll need to freshin up on QPST and NV Writer

Who is your carrier... Basically in the TMO GN2 Q&A thread there are several post referring to solutions but obviously you will need to replace their modems with that of your own carrier and I also suggest once you find the threads that I'm referring to that you make sure there isn't an updated option available... I would link the threads myself but my XDA app is acting all kinds of stupid right now and won't let me access my participated threads

I'm simply referring to getting your phone working on a carrier again... Not really flashing stock (unrooted) Roms... From your original post you seem to have had 4 problems (WiFi has already been solves). My post is referring to the null imei... As far as your home button only pulling up your menu key (which I interpret based on your original post) than I would ask if you have a recovery installed at all... If not I think it might be a cache partition error which chainfire solved on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932327 but that is a whole different bag of worms... Really I need to know more on how you got into this situation in the first place ( your original post said something about dropping the phone but when on to say you received a replacement) How did the home button get messed up?

I would think you should be able to hook your phone up to the PC and then within terminal (once you get ADB Shell and your phone is reading properly with the appropriate drivers) and use codes to launch Download mode or Recovery.. You could also (using this method) potential make a copy of your phone so at least you have a copy of it all on the PC...

I doubt it but not 100 percent but I think its 1 or the other... Ultimately I am new to using jdk/SDK etc and don't have the slightest clue as to what steps are needed to even get the GN2 to communicate with windows properly... With that being said I have been able to follow directions enough to unbrick an archos (had to install jdk/sdk etc, a virtualbox with Ubuntu, setup drivers to commincate the device thoroughly with the PC and then thru the virtual machine via USB, and then using terminal via Ubuntu flash codes and through Sudo fix files on the device to unbrick it... Took me like 3-4 days as I was so noon to it all but it was that experience that got me in to flashing phones in the first place

when you enter recovery mode, do you get any errors?
After I have tested Cyanogenmod9, I have used Odin to write a stock ROM on the phone. It didn't boot, and in recovery I was receiving "can't mount /cache; can't mount /system etc." It shouldn't happened something like that, but.... it did.
My solution: used the recovery (the buggy one) to update to latest (beta) CWM recovery from phiex, and then used a CWM backup that I had on the SDCARD. And errors vanished.
that erors gone i did factory reset and cache and dallvix something like that and the erors gone...have a application for repair the baseband?i try to fint in the internet but all about galaxy s/s2

Sigh...
Yadinbilu: take a step back, and think of how much time and effort you've spent trying to fix this phone. And all the stress that comes with having an unusable phone.
Here you have a group of well intentioned, generally knowledgeable people, some of which have encountered the very same problem you're dealing with.
As a group, we've tried just about everything that could be.
Entering various service codes in the phone.
Using leaked Qualcomm programs like QPST and QXDM.
Re-flashing all manner of firmwares and basebands.
Even flashing specially modified files that we suspected could reprogram the IMEI on the phone.
All of this has been going on for many months, probable even before you thought about buying your own Gio. People with the other phones closest to the Gio, like the Ace, Mini and Fit, have been doing the same efforts.
The Galaxy S GT-I9000, or any other phones of the GT-I series are generally not a good reference when it comes to hacking the Gio (or any other GT-S series phones), there are too many differences between the two.
All of this has always lead us back to one solution: sending the phone to a service center.
Many here have told you just that.
If its about the money this might cost you, well, tough luck. These boards are wallpapered with multiple disclaimers that boil down to this: You are doing this at your own risk. That risk varies, but it could go from minor inconvenience to very major. Miss a critical phone call or SMS. Maybe lose your job or miss an important exam because your alarm didn't go off.
Yet you don't seem to listen. Instead you start multiple new threads where you plead and snivel for assistance.
Get your phone the professional attention (and possibly new motherboard) it needs, or get another and throw away this one. Seriously.
It's gotten to a point where it's pathetic, annoying and sad to watch.
Goodbye,
Darkshado

My Galaxy S II issue

hey guys,
( I know that there is another thread here asking that same question, but actually the questioner didn't get the perfect answer , that's why I ask this question again, I really need your help )
please I have a problem in my device,
I have Samsung Galaxy S 2 and the problem is when I switch it off after that
the phone will turn itself ON automatically, in another words, I can't switch it off.
please, can anyone tell me the reason or the solution of this problem ?
( knowing that there is no Samsung Center in my country to fix the phone for me)
thank you so much.
Do you have stock, or a custom rom? if stock, are you rooted?

What happens after you do a battery pull? Try that leave it out for a few seconds and see if it turns itself on again, essentially it shouldn't be able to unless your hardware button is stuck/sticky.
Is your phone insured ?
If you are on a custom rom it could be a bad download. Check the MD5 checksums and verify that your download was legitimate. Other than that. If you ARE NOT rooted, I suggest you read MULTIPLE tutorials and root your phone in addition to adding a custom ROM.
May I suggest Juggernaut V5.0. Or if you like ICS I suggest Blackedition or NexusMod
Best of luck

he means that the power button might be stuck. try booting into recovery, and if your phone automatically selects reboot, you know your power button is stuck.
that's somewhere to start.

Give this a go... Back up your device beforehand.
Download Samsung Kies. Put you phone into download mode. Open Kies, and under "Tools" menu, select "Emergency firmware recovery". This will completely restore your device to stock. If you still have issues afterward, its a hardware problem.
Edit: You WILL lose root with this method. But you'll also get a definitive answer...
Unroot it and install stock

[Q] Please help me

(((dear developer,
I have a
Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch
This device completely stopped working and no longer capable of being opened again at that time ,later i went to the engineer in charge who did a " ........ " which it returned to work as it was .
after that, i started to download files from network , and during the downloading,it suddenly stopped again. I returned it to the engineer to fix the problem that occurred during loading . he fixed it , but this time when I wanted to use it , I discovered that the " logo" is for another device , namely Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II , not mine 1
I think that my device were charged with " bootloader " Other than that allotted to mine!
Now , the device works with me naturally , but I am having some problems which are as follows :
1 - its not capable to charge when it is off , and it appears to me that it fails every time i try to link it to its charger ! It then goes on to state the case for the recovery mode each time , and then I restart it which goes back to work as usual.
2 - I noticed a difference between the previous state and now in terms of the quality of the work and also problems in charging .
NB:i downloaded a new "Karnel" and and " Bootloader " but that did not work too !
After all what i have wrote to you dear, I want to know ,am i gonna be able to reload the " Flash " without needing "Riff box" ,
Any directly from my computer ?
What if i kept it on its current status , is there any damage to my device now or later? ?
i really need your help ,
Thank you ))))
My advice is to read up really good on PC Odin, and how to flash using it. Then flash a stock, unrooted rom to get you 100% back to where you started. Good luck!

Hey buddy... I'm going to jump in on this, even though JD is the Man. I just don't want you to brick you're device.
Don't download a rom not made for this device ( epic 4g touch ). That is what has put you in this position to begin with. Go to rwilco12's repo. Its in the epic 4g touch forum and go to Android development. Then pick stock roms. Read...read... read. :good:
If you picked the sph - L710...because you saw JD was running that.... consider this.. not everybody who is in here helping, is still running an epic 4g touch anymore. If I'm not mistaken... JD is running an S3 from boost mobile. That is probably why it says L710..I'm not positive. But I am positive that you need to use the roms for this specific device or you're going to brick. It's a miracle you haven't already.
Ask youre buddy if he flashed a bootloader... because I think he did and if that's the case you need to get the epic 4g touch one back.. should be as easy as using Odin and flashing a one click... I'm not positive... but I think this devices bootloader is all tied up in the one clicks... but look around and make sure. You might have to Odin a bootloader first. I'm just not sure as I've never looked into it, but from what I ( think ) I know. Because of this devices kernel/recovery issue. The bootloader is different than most devices and might be all tied together.
I'm sure JD will pop in later after he gets free and let us both know for sure...
Thanks @Gil81. And OP, you may want to thank him as well, because if you had flashed L710 you world have surely bricked. I have moved on to the Galaxy S3(L710), but as Gil can attest to, I was on this phone for a few days . And as usual, he isn't steering you wrong. Download the Samsung drivers to your pc and Pc Odin, then the stock tar of your choice(sph-d710), located here:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...(SPH-D710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GB27/No Data Restore
You can find full restore, no data restore, rooted, unrooted, your call. Read, read, read, before you mess with odin. Then when you're ready, flash the Odin tar, reboot, profit. Good luck, and thanks Gil, good seeing you again bro.

(((dear developer,
I have a
Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch
This device completely stopped working and no longer capable of being opened again at that time ,later i went to the engineer in charge who did a " ........ " which it returned to work as it was .
after that, i started to download files from network , and during the downloading,it suddenly stopped again. I returned it to the engineer to fix the problem that occurred during loading . he fixed it , but this time when I wanted to use it , I discovered that the " logo" is for another device , namely Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II , not mine 1
I think that my device were charged with " bootloader " Other than that allotted to mine!
Now , the device works with me naturally , but I am having some problems which are as follows :
1 - its not capable to charge when it is off , and it appears to me that it fails every time i try to link it to its charger ! It then goes on to state the case for the recovery mode each time , and then I restart it which goes back to work as usual.
2 - I noticed a difference between the previous state and now in terms of the quality of the work and also problems in charging .
NB:i downloaded a new "Karnel" and and " Bootloader " but that did not work too !
After all what i have wrote to you dear, I want to know ,am i gonna be able to reload the " Flash " without needing "Riff box" ,
Any directly from my computer ?
What if i kept it on its current status , is there any damage to my device now or later? ?
i really need your help ,
Thank you ))))

Thanks @Gil81. And OP, you may want to thank him as well, because if you had flashed L710 you world have surely bricked. I have moved on to the Galaxy S3(L710), but as Gil can attest to, I was on this phone for a few days . And as usual, he isn't steering you wrong. Download the Samsung drivers to your pc and Pc Odin, then the stock tar of your choice(sph-d710), located here:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...(SPH-D710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GB27/No Data Restore
You can find full restore, no data restore, rooted, unrooted, your call. Read, read, read, before you mess with odin. Then when you're ready, flash the Odin tar, reboot, profit. Good luck, and thanks Gil, good seeing you again bro.

Lost EFS Folder - No Signal nightmare

Okay tried to flash DN3 last night. Everything went find and had the no wifi error. It all went downhill from there. When installing DN3 there is a back up EFS folder. I selected to back that folder up. I tried to fix the Wifi problem with Devil Kernel. Got samsung logo lock up (waited for an hour). Couldn't seem to get into recovery anymore, but download mode still worked, phew!
Got the stock firmware for my device (Bell GN2 i317m). Flashed just fine, but when the phone booted, wifi worked and now I have no network. Says insert sim card when trying to select mobile networks. Tried my sim in a friends phone, worked no problem at all. okay next step. Root it with CF root. Odin 3.09 locks up when writing cache. Now phone one boot. Go to Kies and use firmware upgrade too. Works no problem. Back to root with Odin 3.07. Locks up in the exact same spot as 3.09. Tried 1.85 same problem. I realize my EFS folder is likely pooched, but everything I have read seems to require root, which I cannot seem to get anymore.
What would your next step be, before throwing it out the window? Now my stupid reset counter has Knox warrarenty failed 1 next to it and like 30 (yes 30) on my counter.
PS I have been flashing phones forever. HTC Magic, Xperia X10, Nexus S, Galaxy S2 and Note 2. I have never run into an issue like this one!
Still stuck. I have tried everything under the sun. I am at a total loss on what to do. I believe its from the whole knox bootloader downgrade. I am able to gain root and have SU block knox, but my EFS folder is empty. I have reset via KIES and Odin multiple times. I am looking for someone elses hel as I have done so much to try and fix this I am now confused on all the stuff I have tried!
Unknown IMEI
Unknown Baseband
Insert Sim etc
It is the same for every flash.
Desperate for help!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have also tried tha about 10x. It works fine, but my EFS folder is always completely empty afterwards.
Anyone else?
EFS may still be there...but is not getting mounted properly because the path has been corrupted...
Sadly...I do not have an EFS .tar file that can path restore...but I know it exists on this site...and have seen it before...
Search for that information and you will likely find it...
We also have several older threads of users who fixed the EFS folder once it got deleted...
Worst case....send it for a JTAG service to mobiletechvideos.com
They can rebuild the EFS and restore the IMEI from your info under the battery...
Very sorry I can't offer more....g

[Q] sprint note 2 sph-l900 network info erased from phone..NO PHONE CALLS!!!HELP

NO matter what Rom I put on after this happens there is no network,,wireless works fine and so does the roms. Right after I rommed the ASOP latest nightly I called to make sure it was working fine and it was..Let ggogle put all my applications on and update them and went to bed,..When I woke up there was no network...So i used recovery and used 3 or 4 of my backups but none of them solved the network problem. I opened up backups to see if there was a file missing and I cant find any...Im willing to send some $ if someone can help me. By the way this has happened 3 times before but all sprint guys do is get me another phone and Im afraid thats going to be stopping soon..I just need to find out why this is happening so it doesnt happen again..thanks

Sounds like a problem i had before. It is your baseband version. To fix you need to flash a stock/ish rom. In dialer do ##786# it will reset everything. Once you perform hands free activation you should be back up and running. After that make sure you flash a good mc2 baseband. After that you should be fine.
Quick question. You are on sprint and only flashing roms for the sprint phone? I have this happen when working on a couple ports from other note 2 variants.

Steps to hopefully fix your issues. Read through and download and copy all links to external sdcard before starting.
1. Perform a backup of everything (rom, internal sdcard)
2. Flash this twrp file from your current recovery http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0ltespr.img
3. Under reboot options choose reboot recovery
4. Now in twrp choose wipe/format and select data, system, cache, and internal scard (/data/media)
5. Go back and select the data wipe option then type yes
6. When done go to reboot menu and reboot recovery
7. Now install Billards back to stock mc2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 but do not reboot and do not wipe anything
8. Now install this to gain root (do not use twrp's root option) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1584076&d=1356201390
9. Now you can reboot. The red light will come on and phone will display weird stuff then reboot.
10. Now it will take some time to boot but you will be on stock mc2 with everything updated to latest mc2 setting.
11. Dial ##786# phone will reboot
12. Dial ##"your msl"# and change both number sets to 10 0's once done phone will reboot
13. Do Hands free activation. If that does not work dial *228 and let that run if phone does not reboot reboot it yourself.
Now if everything went according to plan you should now have full service. Since this updated everything to factory stock mc2 you will need to install a custom recovery again. Also the mc2 baseband provided with the rom has always been stable to for me. Since I am flashed to cricket I had to reflash the phone everytime this happened to me but thankfully I flash it myself so it was easy.

Do have IMEI under about phone/status? Does it display your number or anything?
Sounds like you need to Odin flash a stock firmware with tz, param and modem..With a pit file so it flashes to the correct partition..
I'm on Verizon and this happened to me..lost everything under status..I flashed what I stated above and it fixed everything. .
If that doesn't work flash your KIES image and after re root and unlock your phone:thumbup:

What about flashing the mk4 rom of your choice, then flash the newest mk4 modem..? I have the file if needed. Works great!

the phone is only 2 week old with the latest kit-kat installed from them..I think I read somewhere that if you go backwards to and older rom like mk2 it screws the phone up because of the knox??? anyway yes I flashed it but honestly Ive done so many things ,so many times,,,every modem, mk2, mk4, rooted , unrooted , different recovery...I even got the note 2 toolkit updated donated version...nothing is working,perhaps the order in which i do these things may be off but when the phone is supposed to reboot it doesnt , when its supposed to show a number it doesnt..actually the more I do to it the worse it gets..It will go into recovery and odin mode, but some of the things that were sure fire arent even working...Yes as long as still have the phone i would try it can you send me a link for those files..thanks
