Hello all!!
I have recently tried to flash my Galaxy and me being the most useless person with technology must have done something wrong and now cannot work the phone.
Im pretty sure the message (now cant remember what it said) means it has ROM or something (please excuse my limited knowldege)
Anyway because I played around with it, its not under warranty hence they have to charge me.
However they have asked for $400 to fix the phone. Now I bought my phone for $900..??
I do accept my fault for breaking the phone in the first place, however I think $400 is a bit too much..
Now to my main question, is there a way for me to fix this myself?? or is there a cheaper place where I can fix this because this has gone way too far..
Living without my Android is like hell..
Can someone please help me!!!!
argh!!
I will try to get a better description of the fault if I can.
try reading some manuals and stuff like that on the forum
if it is rom related i think all u will need to do is flash a new rom from odin
just read and dig
if its software no problem to fix
i am learning my self too i had my phone not booting and stuff but after reading all good.
Ya, I got my phone bricked also, but managed to fix it. Basically search more info and tutorials for your particular problem and ways to fix it and you`ll find a way.
Did you drop it or?
If yes, you should repair it and pay :/
If not, setup adb and reflash your android!

My advise pay few dollars buy jig ebay flash with odin save yoursef 390+ dollars it is usb download jig very cheep believe it is exactly what you need
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
One the beginning as always .
Can you access download mode via 3 button or even recovery mode .
If so the probability is you can flash a stock rom to at least have a phone covered under warranty.If not working 100%.

Hi xda,
i am in a serious problem with this EFS , i was using congition H3 rom and i decided to goto Batista70 FOXHOUND EDITION 2.4. from there my problem started, my gameloft games were not working like 9mm and nova 2, so i had to reflash twice, on the second reflash the games started working but i lost network, my product code, my mac id for wifi and bluetooth, i got the generic IMEI-004999010640000, i was never aware of EFS and its use coz its never mentioned in the ROM sectioned(i think that should be the first thing custom ROM pages should have in big red words that back up ur EFS coz it Important)
Anyways the batista had backed up my EFS but i deleted as i was not aware how important it is-genius me, i dont have any EFS back up with me and i have tried all the forum in xda and on the internet but failed to fix it, I am from INDIA and out of 4 prepaid carrier one is working i dont how but its working with the fake IMEI but the other 3 are getting rejected-no network, i have flashed back to first firmware phone came with i.e-I9100XWKE8, service centre in mumbai are asking for lot of money to repair it in which i can buy another phone, IS THERE A MESSIAH out there who can help me as i have always looked up XDA for solution and has worked for me. This is my sincere request and i am ready to donate both xda and the person who helps me $20 each as i understand its a hard job to do and it require skils. please help me out with this. Thank you
I can't help you (assuming you have tried deleting nv_data.bin & nv_data.bin.md5 and rebooted) but I can tell you why it still works and thats because it's not a fake IMEI but a generic one.

update
as i have mentioned in my first post that it was working the stock firmware however it stopped working with that. i tried cyanogenmod 7.1 and its works like charm, still the IMEI is generic but i use my phone with hsdpa, wifi and bluetooth, but again im restricted with one sim card, other wont work, can somebody other help me with the EFS. please and thank u in advance
Do a simple search in the sgs2 forum. IMEI as keyword should show you several threads wich possible solutions. Read, try and ask again if nothing helped.
EFS fixed
hi XDA,
I knew there was genius out there who can resolve it and i am really thankful to god that i got in touch with ODIA because of Northern Loop post the ODIA is a Super Dev http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103357. He really fixed it and I did not had any backup, I WILL REPEAT I DID NOT HAD ANY BACK UPS AND EFS WAS MESSED UP. Service centre just sucks as they don't have any knowledge, I have attached the proof that Odia has fixed it and the guy is EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL in his work. I always believed that the issue can be fixed as there is nothing like cannot be fixed in mobile phone, bricked phones can work again why not corrupt EFS can be fixed?, ODIA proved me right and im sorry for those who dont believe like segunmichaelolu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332125, U need to trust developers they go through a lot of hardwork even sometimes working through out the night to find a solution for one of the most complicate EFS files. Thank ODIA and THANKS XDA
P.S-IF U APPRECIATE HARD AND SMART WORK I DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD HAVE PROBLEM PAYING SOMEONE WHEN THE ISSUE CAN BE FIXED. THE PERSON HAS NOT LEARNED THE ART FOR FREE OR GOD TAUGHT HIM HOW TO FIX IT
I need help too fixing my EFS
I don't have a EFS backup either, It does not show the IMEI, No service even when a simcard is inserted and indicates unknown Baseband in the phone info section. I'm willing to pay $20 for a foolproof solution that will permanently fix My SGS2 I9100, Restore it's IMEI to the Origianl one and have it working normal again. So if bryanfuryin22 Says Odia performed a genius miracle for him I believe He can do the same for Me
*Fingers Crossed* Odia tell me you can fix my problem?

The chances of Odia seeing this post are pretty much zero, since he has never participated in this thread.
Send him a (polite) PM, and wait patiently for an answer.

Since Odia isn't receiving PMs at the moment, and MIGHT have a notification set to alert him when he is mentioned, I'm posting here instead - similar "lost" IMEI problem on a Captivate (due to rooting sloppily 2 years ago when I was younger and braver), now gun shy about fixing it on my own after reading all of the 9-step guide thread. If Odia sees this and is willing to assist, a PM would be welcome.
I think you'll find Odia hasn't done this sort of thing for a very long time due to being overwhelmed by n00bs who didn't take EFS backups. Take it to a local mobile repair shop now rather than putting yourself through whatever period of hopeful anticipation only to have that hope dashed (I'm just being honest with you here).
Edit - Also, as your device has it's own dedicated fora, you're not even allowed to post here. I'm asking mods to move your post back where it belongs (my point about Odia no longer doing this stands though).

This thread is a year old, i would suggest making a new one or looking for a more resent next time.
Now that being said, you can recover you IMEI by flashing stock kk4 with Odin (which can be found in the stickies). Of you're already on gb or up, use the non-bootloaders version.

I don't exactly get your post.. You could've been useful instead of being "honest" (harsh).

Being honest with people is about them having a working phone again in the shortest possible period of time rather than faffing around with snake oil miracle cures & all kinds of ridiculous promises in threads on here which simply don't work.
But eh, if you want to build the OP's hopes up with a bunch of stuff that has no hope of working only to have the realisation that the fix I mentioned in my PP is the only way dawn on the OP in a week/two weeks/whatever & have them without a working phone for that period, knock yourself out.

His (the guy i quoted) issue is very well recoverable and I'm here to help him do so, I'm not sure what your point is. It's not like I'm letting him rot for weeks.. I gave him the solution right away.
Flashing stock kk4 does restore your IMEI (95% of the time).

MY SGS is acting funny after installing Mitra ROM with Rom Manager. I backed up the old OS and the old recovery. But now it got deleted by accident.
Now i have the following problems.
- Cant connect to PC (dont suggest me to try other cables , other computers , install drivers etc.)
- Odin wont work
-Android SDK wont work
-When someone calls me the phone shuts off
-The Mitra ROM is accessible but there are alot of bugs , i can still use it if i have to perform something.
-Recovery mode wont work.
-Download mode works but my computer wont detect my phone.
-Phone shuts off when i enable wifi
What i want to do is:
]- Use some app one the phone which will wipe everything so i can install original Gingerbread rom again.
I can use a SD card reader to transfer stuff into the SD car and then use Astro to transfer the files to Internal memory.
I am completely stuck please suggest me something that will actually work , do not suggest me basic stuff that works with some lucky people because i have tried everything and i am aware of what options i have left.[/SIZE]

Dude, please don't blame a ROM for a fault on your phone that was there when you bought it!!
You really don't have to keep opening new thread for the same problem over and over and over and over....
We get it, you get it, the phone is knackered, you bought it like that, take the damn thing to a Samsung/independent repair shop and get it fixed!!!
There is no magical app this week that will fix it, there wasn't one last week and there won't be next week.
So seriously save yourself and us the time, effort and aggravation and get your ass to a service center! I am sorry for sounding harsh but look at all the threads you've posted...

The only fault with the phone was that it wouldnt connect to usb , all the other problems occurred after i installed Mitra ROM
I never got a clear answer , ok so the repair shop will magically fix the phone? I dont have any warranty now because of this rom
There was no other problem with the phone when i bought it , besides the usb connecting issue.
Lol, yes they will magically fix it, probably charge you something to replace the USB port or motherboard.
But honestly I think that is your only option.
You could ask them for an estimate before any work is carried out or you could try to return the phone to the guy you bought it from.

Please leave the useless discussion , if you are bored go on some chatting site.
I need some information from experts who actually try to find a solution instead of giving a solution that i am already aware of.
Im not stupid , if i had warranty i would have headed up to the shop instead of making threads here.

Ok well I've had this Galaxy S and decided to follow a tutorial from a reputable website (not gonna name which one) and after following it, it led to the freezing of odin and as a result a hard bricking of my galaxy S. tried so many things read so many threads on this forum, ive even ordered a jig to try to use despite people saying that it won't work. then finally accepted the fact that it was screwed unless i used a jtagbox. now im not the best with that sort of stuff but just wanted to know if anyone knows any PROPER EXPERIENCED technicians in Australia if possible (in Sydney even more preferable) that can carry out the proper procedure for jtag. obviously if theres noone nearby im willing to post the phone out to them . what sort of price am i looking at for the procedure?
thanks in advance guys
there is an mobile repair shop next to Bankstown.
I don't know what u mean by Jtagbox, but my phone f**ked up so took it to him however I ended up getting a new phone for xmas lol
cheers

I have a NEW direct from Dell, Streak 7. This is my first tablet. This item was a gift from a family member out of state so getting a return is really not an option.
I have set the tablet up with T-Mobile, and everything seemed to go ok. Got gingerbreak and rooted tab. Waiting on Dell to send me unlock code so that I can get the firmware upgraded to latest Honeycomb. However....
This tablet will have forcecloses 10% of the time, on any given program, will shut down for no reason...sometimes reboot, sometimes not. Will freeze after restart. Will freeze and only hard reset will get it back. Will shut off and not be able to turn back on unless you hard reset button and then try to turn it on right.
I have tried to research the issue, but I really can't afford to pay someone for answers. Just trying to see what the deal may be. The item was new, I had to break the seal to get it out of the box and all original items were sealed.
THanks to anyone who can help......or at least direct me on the right path to fixing it......: )
You should've rooted using the Superuser7.zip posted by TheManii
I'm sorry, in my research, I only saw the gingerbreak boasted about. Plus the issue was ongoing before I rooted the tablet
Sorry again...I am still kinda new.....thanks for the reply however
HMMM, well I would suggest you decide what version you want to run (Froyo or Honeycomb) and then I would search the forum for how to restore the 7 back to factory state. It's hard to believe you were having FCs out of the box, sounds more like you are leaving out some details, but no matter, I would suggest restoring back to stock with a clean install... believe me, there are PLENTY of threads. Might I suggest you restore back to stock Froyo, play with that a while and do lots of reading before trying to root or change ROMs. If you don't follow my suggestions you will just be back here with a device you can't use and getting flamed for getting in above your head before you were ready
I have been waiting to answer this post.....Sir or whoever you are....
I do not appreciate you assuming I was not totally honest about the situation I am in with my product. I have no reason to not give all the information so that I can have the best chance of finding a solution to my problem.
Prior to my Dell tablet I have rooted my HD2 and also my MyTouch, so I do kinda know my way around, however when the issues happened right out of the box, it was a total shock. So I figured .... I would go to my friends at XDA....However, I don't feel too good about these posts you have left....or again the assumptions you have made....

Well you don't leave me much to assume sir, anyone that has a brand new product and immediately has issues with it would logically return it immediately, BUT in my experience when someone is in your situation it means they did something to their device and can't get it back to factory conditions to be able to get warranty work done on it....
Again,
First....I am a Mam.....not a SIR. Second. It was a gift.....I have managed to get help for my issues and they have been solved.....I have no control over someone whom assumes. You know what they say about that......Good Day.

Hey guys. Long time reader, first time poster here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note, and I need to KILL it.
By kill, I mean, it has to stop working (wont even get to home screen etc) without taking it apart or anything.
Normally I can do it when an update is available, and I just download the update, and while it's installing, I remove the battery and format the SD card or whatever, and it makes the phone come up with an error message when it turns on.
As I live in Australia, the Galaxy Note has only just been released, and there are no ICS updates or anything for it, so I can't kill it that way.
I figure I'd ask the experts here if ANY of yo know how to do this.
Thanks heaps!
Well.....if you need to kill your phone, just flash this "sbl.bin" by PC ODIN (PDA)
Your phone will be dead (no screen, no lights, no sound.)
Enjoy crazy dude
Why kill it? Couldn't you sell it and make a happy note owner? Use the money for a new phone. Seems like a shame to waste a good phone. I'm sure some devs would appreciate a phone.
Why?
I have a better solution. Donate it to a dev here.
