[Q] HELP! Phone asking for Sim Network Pin after flashing - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is simlocked to 3 Mobile Austria with jg1 fw , i decided to upgrade to jg5 hoped it wud lessen the lag.. but after flashing , fon starts to ask for Sim Network Pin, did i do anything wrong?
i flashed it back to jg1 and still same problem

You'll probably have to speak to 3.

Did call them , they said my warranty was voided by flashing other firmware..
Anyway I have a friend who has t
he same rom its nejg2 .. Is there any
chance of extracting it and flashing to mine?
Or do you know any site I can dl nejg2 ?
Thanks..

How are you simlocked on 3 ? They don't sell the Galaxy yet. Bad luck, mine is with Optus and I asked explicitly in the store if rooting it would void the warranty and was told no, go ahead.
You might be best off taking it into an 3 shop and explaining what you did was an honest mistake, and hope for the best. Anyone who has played with Android phones will be sympathetic. Maybe a time when the shop is not busy.

Same problem, any suggest?

Hi! after flashing JPC, I had the same problem, the phone asked for unlock code. Reflash did not solved. The solution was this for me (after a sleepless night):
1. flashed a pre-rooted JP3
2. downloaded from market, via wifi Terminal Emulator
3. from this thread: "[HOWTO+FAQ] Get Android 2.2 Froyo (I9000XXJPC) over KIES or ODIN!"
FAQ nr. 7. My Phone asks me for a Unlock Code. Product Code has changed to KOR. What to do?
In Terminal:
- su
- cd /efs
- ls -al
If now nv_data.bak AND nv_data.bak.md5 are displayed, do the next few steps marked with (a)
If now .nv_data.bak AND .nv_data.bak.md5 are displayed (dot before filenames), do the next few steps marked with (b).
(a)- mv nv_data.bin nv_data.jpc
(a)- mv nv_data.bin.md5 nv_data.jpc.md5
(a)- mv nv_data.bak nv_data.bin
(a)- mv nv_data.bak.md5 nv_data.bin.md5
(a)- reboot
(b)- mv nv_data.bin nv_data.jpc
(b)- mv nv_data.bin.md5 nv_data.jpc.md5
(b)- mv .nv_data.bak nv_data.bin
(b)- mv .nv_data.bak.md5 nv_data.bin.md5
(b)- reboot
Actually did only the first two steps from (a), because at 3rd and 4th said: nv_data.bak does not exists
nv_data.bak.md5 does not exists
after reboot the phone worked well, the quadrant score is around 1800

Wasn't flashing a simlocked phone a no no in all the faqs as you now found out.

Man, you really are my savior!!!
Somehow, for some weird reason, the way you solved the JPC Sim Network Unlocking problem actually worked!!!
I have spent the whole night from 01.30 till 10.20 in the morning trying to figure this one out, so no need to say how grateful I am to you...
There's only one question right now, but I don't even dare thinking about it: is there a way we can still upgrade to JPC and NOT have the same problem over again? I believe we should copy the nv_data files from this ROM and use them with JPC. Perhaps some more experienced users/devs can consider this.
In any case, you just saved me a road to service and endless discussions and waiting for a fix for my bricked SGS.
thanks,

Hi
I am glad to hear that your poblem is solved.
Regarding your question about upgrading to JPC, sincerelly I don't know. I am a newbie, I bought my SGS only in 26 august.
So far I am satisfied how my phone is working.

well, talking about that, ive had a nexus one before this one. that one was waay better software-wise than the sgs. the hardware in sgs though is pretty advanced.
anyway, i'll keep playing with this and see what else i can do. i'll post here the results.

This just worked for me as well.

worked out pretty damn well.....i guess the files inside /efs infact contain actual imei. i just replaced jpc with jg8( last three aphanumerals from my firmware) then reboot & voila my imei is back.

Wow tnx for this! now my product code is back to XEN not KOR!

A question..
I came to ls -al but then Terminal write "-al : No such file"
Can u help me?

just use ls instead

in termina, write ls -a without the l and it should display all of the bak files - they probably have a . in front of them in this case so that you should use the (b) steps in the previous posted guide

This should resolve that problem:
ls -a -l
and it will show all files (including hidden ones ie files that start with a .) with full details

wpa_supplicant.conf resets permission after boot

I have modified wpa_supplicant.conf and after every reboot of the phone, the permissions are reset:
# cd /data/misc/wifi
# ls -ltr
drwxrwx--- 1 1010 1010 2048 Sep 2 18:27 sockets
-rw-rw---- 1 0 0 744 Sep 3 06:15 wpa_supplicant.conf
In order for wireless to work I need to reset perms to 666 as Wifi does not switch on:
/SettingsWifiEnabler( 3196): Received wifi state changed from Unknown to Enabling
E/WifiHW ( 1422): Cannot access "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf": Permission denied
E/WifiHW ( 1422): Wi-Fi will not be enabled
How can I make the permissions stick?
try to booting into recovery go to console ,then
mount /data
chmod 666 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
may or may not work

I did that a number of times. in recovery mode after chmoding to 666 permissions show as
-rw-rw-rw- 1 0 0 744 Sep 3 06:15 wpa_supplicant.conf
after reboot it shows as
-rw-rw---- 1 0 0 744 Sep 3 06:15 wpa_supplicant.conf
Not sure how to overcome this as it appears that the reboot process changes the permissions back (perhaps a Cyanogen problem - running on 4.0.4??)
if your running cyanogen's rom couldn't you just put the chmod command in the userinit.sh. welll that is if you have a ext partition
Please read stickies before posting. This should be in the Q&A forum.
problem solved by placing the following into userinit.sh. still strange that something changes the permissions and ownership of that file during boot-process.
if [ -d /data/misc/wifi ];
then
busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf;
busybox chmod 666 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf;
echo "Changed permissions for wpa_supplicant.conf"
fi;
I found this to be working permanently:
The solution was to simply change ownership back to system:wifi
$ adb root
$ adb -d shell
# cd /data/misc/wifi
# chown system.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf
# reboot

Found somewhere. Sorry, I've not bookmarked the link.

clean copy of wpa_supplicant.conf
Hey all. New to the forum. was wondering if any has an original copy of the wpa_supplicant.conf file for the flytouch2. i was doing some experimenting and fudged it up real good. thanks in advancd
Hey just wanted to thank you for this thread.. saved me a lot of time on a project
stupid ownership.
Thanks. This post helped me too...
Me too. Thanks
Thanks!
I can't believe I never did a search on the XDA forums for this issue, which has been plaguing me for months.
Well actually "plaguing" is probably too strong a word, but it is usually the little annoyances that drive me up the wall way more than the large problems!
that is all

hello,
I've had similar issues after modifiying the file with ES Explorer. The problem is that the app not only rewrites the permissions of the file but also the owner and group. Fortunately the app stores a .bak file so i could "ls-l" the correct file settings.
U should use
chmod 660 wpa_supplicant.conf (by default and not 666!)
and
chown system.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf (sets owner to system and group to wifi)
Good luck!
I've been having simmular problem:
While back I have edited the same file (using ES file explorer app) and ever since then everytime i reboot my wifi wont switch on (instead it just shows an error in status field)
So far solution i had to use is to open the wpa_supplicant.conf file in ES and "edit and save" it... So pretty much even if i type in and erase a random character, and then try to exit ES asks if i want to save. Click yes and go to settings and wifi is switching on no prob...
Does this seem like I should use one of the solutions posted above, or is there some other resolution to my problem?
Im running Gingerbread on HTC doubleshot.
I appreciate any help given!
Thanks in advance.
thank you!

Help to get my phone working again.

Today i flashed the JPM firmware and i got KOR product code. So i followed i guide and did the following:
su
cp /efs/nv_data.bin /sdcard/
then i opened the file with notepad and changed KOR to XEE.
su
cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin
rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5
reboot
but "rm -rf /efs/nv_data.bin.md5" didnt work cause it was read only so i used root explorer and deleted it.. i also deleted (dont remember the names excacly) nv2.bin and some other nv2 file and now the phone goes to the lock screen but it doesnt let me enter my pin code and i also cannot get past the lock screen.
Is my phone dead for life?
Edit; when i wrote this i had tried to flash JM2 and JM8 without luck. Now i tried JPK and now it starts.

[Q] Restoring stock Recovery Image on Sprint

Hey all,
I had the sense to use the Rotobackup method on my new Sprint Tab after rooting it with the Z4root package. I then proceeded with the ( now outdated ) CWM Flash process adapted from the Epic 4g. Now, I can get into CWM and the process appears to be functional, but I can't get the "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" to work. It all goes well, but when I boot back into android, all the junk is still there.
Now, I know this wouldn't normally be a big deal... However.. In set'n up for my Rotobackup, I punched in a spare Gmail account in case someone wanted a copy of the backup for dissection,etc... Now, since I can't get the factory wipe to work ( neither from the Privacy menu, nor CWM ), I can't get that acct off my Tab so I can get to all my purchased apps on my main account.
Since I have the Rotobackup, I'm thinking that I can just restore one of those packages and get the stock recovery image back in place. I just want to verify which one I should restore before I move forward.
My expectation is that I need to restore the 'boot.bin' file. Can someone confirm this?
For the record, these are the files I have saved:
Code:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 262144 Dec 22 19:00 boot.bin
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32768000 Dec 22 19:00 cache.rfs
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 25620093 Dec 22 19:23 data.tgz
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 86507520 Dec 22 19:00 dbdata.rfs
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6553600 Dec 22 19:00 efs.rfs
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 336068608 Dec 22 19:00 factoryfs.rfs
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 16777216 Dec 22 19:00 modem.bin
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1310720 Dec 22 18:58 param.lfs
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 262144 Dec 22 19:00 pit.pit
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1310720 Dec 22 19:00 Sbl.bin
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 7864320 Dec 22 18:59 zImage
Thanks in advance,
LK
Or, can I simply do an rm -rf /data/* to get the effect of a factory wipe?
Thanks,
LK
Ok, I figured it out..
So, the thought of flashing the recovery image came from my root experiences on Evo. I decided while waiting for a response to do more digging through the CWM installation routine and noticed that it made a backup of the original recovery file ( since on Epic and Tab, it's a redirector method instead of an image on the Evo ). AND.. it had a 'Remove root/CWM' option!
I modified the run.sh script to NOT remove root on that option and only put the original CWM in place, ran it.. and VIOLA!
Hope this may help someone else.
LK
are you saying you have a working CWM running on your Sprint-flavored tab?
Hello Zoinks,
Nope... the CWM wasn't working properly on my Samsung Tab. I reverted to the stock recovery on my Tab to regain the ability to wipe it.
Thanks,
LK
and you were so close to being my new best friend
which modem are you using? we have not been able to properly export the factory modem
I'm afraid neither of us are that lucky.
I'm still using the original modem. Nothing has actually been flashed to the device aside from what it took to root it.
Nothing to see here...
LK
ok, so I also just rooted my new sprint tab. using the z4root method. I also have learned about rooting through my evo. I have not however got as far as you have as in getting a recovery image. If i understand what I have tried to absorb on this from the board, is that A) I should have gone with tmobile for the tab!!!! lol and B) this aint no EVO!!!!!
So could you point me in the right direction/advice with what I should do now, because I am lost!!!!
thanks in advance
I'd install bash with the 'Bash Installer' app from the market, and then any other goodies you like for rooted devices ( Adfree Android is a personal fav ).
Aside from that, hang tight and watch for more advancements in alternative ROMS and Recovery managers. Don't install any recovery manager at this time as they are too buggy for normal use and don't really have much in the way of usable features yet.
Clockwork Mod is the closest, but still doesn't support nandroid backup and the like.
Oh, also.. you should check into creating a 'Rotobackup' of your device per the instructions found in another thread of this sub-form.
Enjoy!

I'm having the same problem, can you tell me how to do that? Where's the run.sh file?
Thanks.
Hello zephyrd,
The problem I had was because I used the CWM process outlined in this thread. The 'run.sh' script is the one included with the downloads in that thread.
I edited the run.sh file as follows:
* FInd the section that starts with 'function remove {'
* Inside that section, find the following two sub-sections:
- echo Running root file cleaner on device
- echo Removing remount binary
* Comment out the lines under those sections with # so that the final 'function remove {' section looks like this:
Code:
function remove {
clear
echo +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
echo "Simple Root and ClockworkMod Uninstaller 2.01";
echo +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
echo Bash Scripts by DRockstar and Firon
echo exploit by joeykrim, original uninstaller by noobnl

#$adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/rclean
#$adb shell /system/xbin/rclean
#$adb shell rm /system/xbin/rclean
#echo Removing remount binary
#$adb shell rm /system/bin/remount > /dev/null 2>&1

echo Restoring original recovery file
$adb push recovery /system/bin/recovery
$adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery
echo Rebooting phone
$adb reboot
checkboot
echo
echo SIMPLE ROOT UNINSTALLER COMPLETED.
end
}
When you run the 'run.sh' command, pick the 'Simple Root and ClockworkMod Uninstaller' option. This will restore your recovery manager back to the stock one, while leaving your Tab rooted.
NOTE: This same logic can be applied to the 'run.bat' file. The sections that need to be commented out are the same. Instead of using a # to comment the lines, place the word 'REM ' in front of them.
The run.bat 'remove' function will look as follows when done:
Code:

If you have any questions, please let me know. It's better to ask now than screw up your tab.
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for the help! However, this doesn't solve my problem, which is outlined in this thread.
I think my factory setting is modified somehow and can not be removed.
I don't expect any solutions any time soon but if you think you can help I can provide more info on the problem.
Thanks again!

Recovery process
Can you give me a guide to follow to
A. Return to stock: titanium back up on sd card. Unfortunately no way to get titanium bac on tab as market has disapeared. Unless I can down load .apk and then install from card.
B. Replace voodoo kernal with different one that restores screen rotation, market etc.
Will make generous donation to coffee/beer funds.
Any help for a noob in trouble?

so since i am replacing the nv data anyways i figured i could remove the nv_data in hopes of clearing space so I do rm nv_data.bin and it comes back with:
rm failed for nv_data.bin, Read-only file system
can somone help? would my method of thinking even work?
thanks
edit would it work if i did
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /efs/nv_data.bin
edit 2:
so i found out that when i removed it through adb it worked, but maybe the edited nv_data file is bigger than the original?
this is what i did to check
- adb shell
- su
- rm /efs/nv_data.bin (no error)
- ls /efs (did not see nv_data.bin in there)
- cat /sdcard/nv_data.bin >> /efs/nv_data.bin (gave me the no space error)
what can i do now?
Talk about timing - your second edit made my post pointless.
Just to satisfy my curiousity, why are you using the cat command? Wouldn't it make sense to cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin, as there isn't an nv_data.bin file in /efs to use the cat command on? (My CLI commands are a little rusty, I'll admit...)
If you're using a rom with CWM, try rebooting to CWM and accessing the phone from there first. In my experience, adb access from CWM gives you the read/write permissions you'll need.
Also, if you're trying to replace the nv_data.bin file, I think the commands in adb be:
adb root
adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin (backing up current)
adb shell
rm -i /efs/nv_data.bin
cp /mnt/sdcard/nv_data.bin (or /sdcard/nv_data.bin)
(ls /efs to confirm)
Or something like that?
thanks for the advice, but I ended up just doing a factory reset and redid the whole process and it worked.
Hey all
I have the same error message. when i ls efs i had few more files in there than the OP they are
nv_data.bin
imei
nv.log
cryptprop_onetimeboot
cryptprop_securewipedata
nv_data.bin.md5
this to try putting the original nv_data.bin file back. Id like to put the a modified one which im hoping will let me unlock my captivate.
thanks

[9001]fix md5 mismatch

this is how i did to fix md5 missmatch due to restore from feamod recovery
-firstly make a folder clockworkmod/backup/2011-12-16.12.56.43 IN INTERNAL SDCARD
open terminal emulator
type su
#cd / sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-12-16.12.56.43
#rm nandroid .md5 (if u get this rm failed for nandroid. read-only file system just leave it)
#md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
reboot to recovery
restore from internal
Good idea to post that (used it too with some backups). If you can't get into your device (bootloop etc) you should be able to do it on your pc. I tried doing it with md5sum (see attached) but it then adds an extra x0D (carriage return)... so if someone knows how to do this, please add to this topic
Regards,
Nika.
Thnx. can be very usefull
I have ca. 3 archives where I get md5 mismatch only one is restorable. Only for understanding do I only create an empty folder and make this or must I use the backup folder from my backup ?
Thx in advance

Please explain what you mean. You have 3 backups that give you this error? Then you should go to each of those backup-folders and run "md5sum *img > nandroid.md5" (without the quotes off course). This will regenerate the md5 file and then the restore should work if the backup files are intact (I've had some backups with 0 kb files too)
..I tried and get "bad substitution"
Dontron
Edit: I renamed the folders and now I can use the command..give a try.

You want to do it automatically through ADB? Here's a script:
Code:
@echo off
set FixMD5backup=[COLOR=Red][B]/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/011-12-16.12.56.43[/B][/COLOR]
echo cd %FixMD5backup% >FixMD5.adb
echo pwd >>FixMD5.adb
echo ls -l -a * >>FixMD5.adb
echo chmod 666 nandroid.md5 >>FixMD5.adb
echo rm nandroid.md5 >>FixMD5.adb
echo md5sum *img *tar ^>nandroid.md5 >>FixMD5.adb
echo ls -l -a * >>FixMD5.adb
echo cat nandroid.md5 >>FixMD5.adb
echo exit >>FixMD5.adb
adb -d shell <FixMD5.adb
del FixMD5.adb
pause
Make sure the path is correct

Nika.

If you are using a back from your sdcard, you will need to mount r/w.
Here is what I did, and it worked perfect.
BETAlatform-tools akelly$ ./adb shell
# mount -o remount rw /sdcard
# cd sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
# ls
2011-11-09.MIUI-1.11.4-base 2011-12-12-CM7-GlitchV13
2011-11-09.MIUI-GLITCH-1.11.4-loaded 2011-12-12-CM7-GlitchV13-basic
# cd 2011-12-12-CM7-GlitchV13
# ls
boot.img datadata.yaffs2.img system.yaffs2.img
cache.yaffs2.img nandroid.md5
data.ext4.tar recovery.img
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Worked out perfectly. You are a scholar and a gentleman.

For reference, attached is md5.exe and dos2unix.exe.
Here's the script to execute md5.exe (see attached) and make the nandroid.md5 on your pc:
Code:
@echo off
del nandroid.md5
for %%i in (boot.img,cache.ext4.tar,data.ext4.tar,recovery.img,system.ext4.tar,.android_secure.vfat.tar) do md5 %%i>>nandroid.md5 && echo %%i>>nandroid.md5
dos2unix nandroid.md5
pause
Btw, for everyone good to know, you can always run the md5sum from adb in clockworkmod recovery too (just before doing the backup, even when you're in the backup screen!):
Code:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[B]BACKUPDATE[/B]
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img >nandroid.md5
# exit

Nika.

Can you first check the filesize of each file that the backup created? If there's 0kb files you will not be able to restore them, do it with Advanced Restore one by one and you may be able to get back stuff...
If you don't know how to use the files I uploaded, I doubt a guide will help you

Anything wrong?

That does not seem like a complete backup. Normally you also have a system.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar and cache.ext4.tar. I guess this backup failed.
The only things you have is a kernel (boot.img) and the recovery.

Right, I'd talk to the one that supports your cwm (touch recovery Lilg for Galaxy Mini)
I think I know already. Today, I had try backup and it's fine. Probably last time, I'm not use the proper method. Anyway, thanks for intention to help.

i am newbie
sorry for my question :
i have 03 clockworkmod backup in my ext_sd card named :
1 - 2012-05-08.16.48.10
2 - 2012-05-08.16.17.27
3 - 2012-05-02.02.25.41
i renamed them to :
1 - nitrox
2 - moon
3 - kqb
but when i try to restor i have md5 mismatch for all them
how to do for fix them all
please
EDIT : i finally understund the way :
i have moved clockworkmod from external_sd to sdcard
put the phone in usb debug
and than call adb shell with this :
adb shell
$ su
#
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/nitrox
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img >nandroid.md5
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/moon
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img >nandroid.md5
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/kqb
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img >nandroid.md5
# exit
and then move back the clockworkmod to extrenal_sd and now all my backups work fine
thank you very much
