market shows only test apps [FIXED]

i really dont know what happened. i cannot find anything. not even my paid apps, nothing really. all i can find is test apps. i was on roto jme4. and i go to the market and get a message saying something like device not comaptible with market please contact maker of device. blah blah...... that's weird because i never had that message before with rotos rom. so i change the fingerprint in the build.prop to no avail. i even went back to my stock t mobile firmware. im not getting that message,but i have no market downloads. not even my apps i paid for. all i get are test apps. what the hell is going on????

I am getting this message also, I am on roto v3

sounds like something really screwed with your buildprop, or any other identification of the phone that the market needs. since you already tried to change the fingerprint in buildprop to no solution, i'd suggest to start completely over with JME v4 (= the roto suggested pit file, roto-JMEv4 FULL and repartition enabled). that should factory reset the phone and hopefully eradicate any screwed files.
here Market works like a charm as ever; running JME-v4 with CF-Root

didn't work. i re-downloaded both files

i dumped my system . any dev wants to take a look at it and see whats going on
http://www.mediafire.com/?biy21ctndrl8s23

This same thing was happening on my wifes tab the following steps made it work
-unbreak IMEI by restoring /efs backup
-delete vending.apk from /system/app
-fully reload software (chose roto_v4)
-sign in to market and allow it to update
-Rebroke IMEI
unfortunatly it only worked for about 20 minutes then back to the same problem. Testing now leaving the IMEI unbroken to see if that resolves

i think i found my problem i dont have anything in my efs folder. can someone provide me an efs folder with its contents. i did back up but forgot to take it to my desktop. when i reinstalled roto4 i wiped my internal sd

each efs folder is unique to the tab so i dont think using the folder from somebody else will work.

it doesnt hurt to try. i have no efs folder so what am i suppose to do? i did do a roto backup before the **** hit the fan. can i find my efs folder there?

all i can say is WOOOT WOOOOT!!!!!!!!!! thank god for roto backup. . i basically flashed all my dumps with heimdall. then it rebooted, but it was stuck on the samsung screen. i then put it back into download mode then flashed the tmobile stock firmware. i now have all my paid apps and no more whining about my device not being compatible with the market

My market started to do this today as well. What I did was go into manage applications and found market. I uninstalled updates and cleared data. It has been working like normal for a few hours now.

Hi boricua,
I had this same Issue since yesterday... unafortunately I didn't had the time to work on this until today. Since I don't found no body working with this I started it on my own.
And that's what worked for me: I deleted once again the /efs/ content and get the original files back on place. Then turned on WiFi and turned off Network connections. Then turned off the GT and reboot it and get connected via WiFi and Signed on Google Account via WiFi.... then turned On Networks and deleted the /efs/ contents.
This was just thinking and playing with some logics under the IMEI identification. So this is what worked for me. I didn't get back to stock or reflashed any ROM.
I hope this help you guys. I was monitoring it all day and still working!!!!!
WOOOOOT WOOOOOT!!!!!

im just glad that before i started messing with my tab. i did a rotobackup on my stock rooted jjb rom. lesson to all... rotobackup your tab !!

never did a rotobackup so i am SOL if anything happens to my tab, i dont even remember what FW my tab came with. i tried flashing the t-mobile stock FW that Roto set up but i kept getting a fail message when using ODIN but i am able to flash other FW, it seems that i have a bootloader, but at least my market is up and running again after re-flashing JME v4, dont know if that did it or the market was fixed. i will have to wait and see what happens.

are you hitting the repartition box when you flashing the stock firmware? flash without hitting the repartition box and see what happens.
if you don't do a roto back up then backup your efs folder at least
use this to check if you have a protected boot-loader. double click check and it willl do the rest for you.

[NEEDED] 6.893 100% stock backup

Does anyone have a backup of 6.893?
Typically I am very diligent, but somehow I forgot to make a backup of stock.
I have not switched to any other update. I have read through everything thoroughly and I apologize for failing to follow instructions. With 5 android devices and multiple flashes I have never missed this before. And I realized it as soon as I flashed TH3ORYS rom
From what I gather the easiest and most effective way to get back on track is to flash a stock 6.893 rom make a backup and move on from there.
I appreciate anyone's help!
I am also open to using this thread or creating one in delopment to post the stock roms of every version.

Not entirely true. His system will be back to 5.5.886, but his kernel/radio will be his previously upgraded 5.6.893. He is off the upgrade path until he gets the matching system file of 5.6.893. Only then can he continue updating. I just went through this exact thing, used the one step recovery, but went back to .886 and had to beg to find someone to send me a CWR back up of their 5.6.893, which got me back on track.

Oh yeah...nevermind. I completely thought you were wanting stock not the ota. That's what I get for speed reading.

I'm afraid I dont, I got back to 5.6.893 then immediately upgraded to 5.7.893 and backed that up, since .6.893 was no good to me any more. I'm sorry.

Someone out there has to have this!

Wont it fail because I'm not coming from stock? And if I go all the way back it wont work because ill end up with a hybrid?

I'm in the same situation. Yes, all attempts to upgrade fail because our sys filed don't match our radio. I need this nandroid as well.

Giving someone a backup made on your device or restoring a backup made on someone else's device is an extremely foolhardy proposition. You are cloning the Android_id from one device to the other, which means that apps that use it as an identifier will push and pull data from both devices without any intervention from the unknowingly affected user.

correct me if im wrong but, all we need is the system img right because im stuck with a hybrid

Does anyone know if restoring my 5.893 back up will work, or create a hybrid? I ask because I think it is the same radios?

Check your pms and please don't share in case there is some of my data still left in the backup. just download all the files and put them in a folder and put in your clockwork backup folder on your sd/ext, probably the best way is to restore with advanced restore and just restore system only.

I have really been through the ringer today. I started off this morning by noticing that I had no data at all. I was on 6.893 and TH3ORYROM 2.1 and have been for a few days with no trouble until today when I lost data. I tried everything to get it back, but nothing. I called VZW to make sure there wasn't a network problem in my area and they suggested that I try everything that I had already done (bat. pull, sim card re-register, turn off LTE radio, etc). When they couldn't fix anything, they wanted to transfer me to tier 2 tech support, but they apparently need to talk to me on a different phone so they can diagnose this one, but I didn't have access to another phone. So I decided I would try to flash one of the updates hoping it would reflash the radio file and wake it up. When I got home, I used the R3L3AS3DRoot to restore to stock and tried to install 7.893, but the update failed. I searched around and tried every method I could to get any of the updates to install, but nothing worked, still no 3g either. Eventually, in my desperate attempt to fix this myself I decided to wipe everything and start over. I wiped the webtop partition. I think that's what really screwed me up, because nothing else I did was any different that what I've done in the past. After wiping everything, I went back to the R3L3AS3DRoot and tried to run it. No matter which option I selected, it seemed to run fine, but I couldn't boot past the fastboot screen. I tried to fxz using RSD Lite, but every flash I tried failed. Then, in a panic, I came across P3's moto-fastboot method used to "get you back on the update path". I ran that and it freaking worked!! Then I figured I'd try to get up to 7.893, but I've tried absolutely everything I can find mention of and nothing works. Every install fails. I am getting some intermittent 3G now though. And to top it all off, I discovered that none of the nandroid backups I've made will restore and most of them don't even exist. I just discovered that I needed to check "use external storage" for the backups to take. I thought I had been covering my ass by making backups, but they weren't valid. Currently I have stock, rooted phone with an intermittent 3G signal. System Version 5.5.886, baseband CDMA_N_03.1C.57RLTEDC_U_05.15.02, kernel [email protected] #1, and build number 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. As I sit now, my plan is to see how it acts tomorrow and if I still have a lot of trouble with data, I will return it to stock unrooted and take it into a Verizon store and see if they will let me try a new SIM card. I don't really know what else to do at this point.

Flashed CM10 Jelly bean No Service

So I'm going to assume that my IMEI is gone as the one that is listed under 'about phone>status' is different than the one printed on my phones manufacturer box. The one listed appears to start with 0049. I have verified the APN settings on my samsung galaxy s captivate are correct per my carrier - Straight Talk. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I currently have flashed,
Kernel
Devil3-1.0.0-rc3-cappy-cfs-bln-cmc
ROM
CM10 JellyBean V2 with gapps + su

Try restoring your IMEI backup folder located in your Internal SD and see if you get service again.

Sorry to ask but could you provide me with detailed steps on how to do this? I've already flashed back to an earlier version of android 2.x using odin3 one click but I'd like to know for future reference.

Thanks for the reply, I figured that was a possible solution but wasn't sure about copying entire folder. I had read posts about copying just the .nz_data.bin. I appreciate your help.

hmmm. Still seem to be having some trouble. I had flashed with odin one click to gingerbread 2.3.5 and made a copy of the efs folder to the internal storage using root browser. I've moved the nv_data.bin & imei folder & nv_data.bin.md5 over and now it's reporting the IMEI as unknown. I've played around with permissions setting the user:group to radio. and also tried 1001:radio w/ rwx---. I also tried clearing the dalvik cache afterwards in hopes that it would rebuild stuff. Not really sure what I am missing, anyways I'll probably flash to gingerbread again and make another backup to the internal storage with file manager in CWM, I'll then reflash to CM10 JellyBean and try to move again. Let me know if I am missing something.
Also do you have any idea why my efs partition is getting corrupt / overwritten when I am flashing? I've been following instructions in the thread for CM10 JellyBean 4.1.1 and It seems the 3 or 4 times I've flashed this devilkernel rc3 and then the cm10 jellybean v2 + apps + su package that my efs gets messed up. Thanks again.

[Q] baseband version unknown + no network

hello,
i know creating a new thread isnt the nicest thing but my note isnt responding and im sweating badly
i have also posted this under the thread with the call recording mod but doing this here for faster response
i was running speedmod kernel k3-13 with stock 4.0.4
in the day to update by phone via ota reverted to stock kernel, still the update failed so reverted back to speedmod.
everything was working fine till then
sometime back thought of trying the call recording mod...
deleted the 2 files mentioned and then flashed the zip via recovery
after the reboot network gone, touch screen working intermittently and baseband version to unknown.
will flashing this rom via pc odin help? i dont have mobile odin
N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5---Download--- India
i might have also done some stupid thing that i dont remember but i guess above mentioned is all what i did.
please help
thanks and regards
sujai

Just replied to call recording thread
Again writing steps here wait
Get root explorer
Put device in flight mode
Extract recording zip file
You will find two folder appl and lib in system folder
Now copy files in lib folder to system/lib
And appl files to system/app
Change permission. To rw-r-r
Delete phone. Odex and phone utility. Odex. From system/app folder

thanks doc for the blazing fast reply but had taken out the battery and was waiting for reply
now the touch screen wont work, it just stays on the home screen...thats it
i cannot go any further, no option works
please note that the phone is showing baseband version as unknown (saw it when the screen was working earlier)
and
there is no network aswell.
thanks doc, hoping for a solution.
even if i have to loose all my data to restore phone to factory rom and kernel, im okay with it. but just want my note to come to life.

Restart device and just try pressing power button and if you get option to flight mode, it should work for further procedure as I have mentioned.
If you finish as I suggest then you will get everything working with record mod too.
If you are unable to handle then just put device in Download mode and reflash modem with pc Odin it should work, in last resort just reflashed rom otherwise, neither method will wipe your data.
Just need patience, don't be panic this is little issue.

dear doc and nokiamodeln91,
pressing the power button does take it to airplane mode but then the phone does not get recognized by computer when i connect it.
so i would want to flash stock ROM straight away and just need a clarification. Ill put the phone in download mode, connect it to pc odin.
and then click the phone tab or the PDA tab?
will flashing this ROM - (N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5) get me back to stock ROM and kernel?
afterwards i can always update it via OTA to the latest ROM and then put speedmod k3-13 kernel back, right?
will do as you say and report back. any other thing i should keep in mind while doing this?
thanks a ton for the help
regards
sujai

If you put ROM file for Phone, then it should work too. It will just replace your Modem, which is corrupted right now.
If it doesn't work then use it for PDA, it will replace full ROM and that will work sure.

a billion thanks doc for helping out!! though it failed in phone mode...worked in PDA mode and best thing is that i have all my data aswell.

Now if you want to recording MOD, don't flash zip but just copy files manually in flight mode.

your help has given me so much of confidence that everything seems so cool to do.

ewwww all my user installed apps have now gone grey!! followed everything to the T. did not do a clean install though
and though the phone has rooted i still dont hv supersu in appl drawer even after flashing the second way you mentioned...just letting you know so that you can check it out

yes that happens to the apps moved to SD card.. restore them using TB or reinstall them
and as dr ketan mentioned.. on the new twhome launcher... the apps moved to SD card will not stay where to fixed in (folders etc)..

No need to restore with TB/Reinstall
Just go to setting - Application - Apl on SD
And appl which are on SD card will have option to move to phone, move from there and that will be sufficient.

yes doc did that yesterday and its all cool!! call recording and transparent weather widget also working great!! all thanks to you!!
are you trying to find out a way for apps to display icons even when they are moved to card?

No, I think it can be solved by new launcher only, hope next update we shall get it fixed

[Q] IMEI NULL/NULL Baseband UNKNOWN

My brother owns an AT&T cappy...n after some months of custom rom flashing, he gave me the phone asking me to repair it.
It has stopped reading the sim card, when i checked the imei of the device it gave me a popup of IMEI null/null..also the baseband version is also unknown..
I have many a times flashed the stock rom as every thread about my problem is telling me to do..
also used galaxy s unlock, app for factory unlocking GS devices..but know success
i seriously want to give it a last try before handing it over for a repair outside..
any help would be highly appreciated!!!!!:crying:

Yep, usually using Odin or Heimdall to return to stock firmware should restore the imei. Have u tried to flash to Stock KK4 firmware yet ? The Odin or Heimdall One Clicks for i897ucKK4 can be found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3.

yess!! many a times..but no success

I also wanted to add that :-
during the galaxy s unlock method..i usually get the busybox problem error...though i've installed and verified it many a times

With all the months of flashing that ur brother did...i would think there would be a backup of the efs folder on the sdcard?? Some roms and kernels, when flashed, will create the efs backup for u.

yess!! hopefully dere's an EFS folder.. but i was too bugged up when googling for the method for restoring it..
n also i'm not sure whether the folder is fine or corrupted/messed up..
also i'll be greatful if i'll get to know the easiest step by step process of restoring it.:good:
