Hi,
My Galaxy ACE is not getting any signal.
When I go to Settings --> About Phone --> Baseband shows "UNKNOWN".
Also hitting *#06# on the phone app. does not show any IMEI.
Phone app. is very slooow.
I have read that my EFS partition might be corrupted... any way to fix it?
Best Regards.

Hi @MGA2009...
As far as I'm aware the EFS partition in a phone can normally only be accessed using a low level exploit or test point connection within the phone... If you don't have access to one of these devices (a 3rd party phone shop may be able to help here), then I fear you are fooked...
If I remember correctly, losing the "EFS" partition data is very similar to losing the "RPL" files from the earlier symbian type phones (nokia were the worst)... These files even back then could only be re-calculated by a server connection & some form of "Jaf" box to do the flashing...
I refer you to the following post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231278
Best of luck amigo...

Please help,
My hd2 will not boot, I get the message "this device is unable to boot because you have turned it off incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press volume up to reset.... ...this operation will delete all data".
Memory card is okay, but I had important documents and photos on the phone which i need before I reset the phone. How can I access these? I have tried active sync but it is not detecting the phone.
thanks for any help
I really dont think you will be able to, if you cant boot then you have no access to the device memory..............
Hi,
Ive got the phone in bootloader now and when I connect it, the computer recognises it but it is not displayed in the explorer window.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I stil dont think it will work. pretty sure you need wm to boot before you can access the memory.

Hi,
If this phone belonged to Osama BinLaden, I dont think the FBI would reset it, im sure they would find a way to get the documents off. I am so frustrated.

Maybe OBL would do regular backups and not rely on just one device for important documents.
Since he does his blogging on cassette tapes, I think he will still be using a Nokia 3210.

Looks like an iPhone user to me..............
@ the op
I wasnt suggesting that its impossible to get to the data, but I dont think it will be possible for you to get to the data..........
if you still have no success after booting without the sd card inserted and applying HSPL ( not sure that will work but its worth a try.....) then I would give up if I were you.
I suppose a repair centre may be able to remove the internal memory and copy the data for you maybe not but that would be about the only option left if you cannot get the phone to boot.........
Either that or you impersonate an FBI agent and try to blag access to a facility with the technology to access your phones memory under the pretense that you believe the handset contains information which may be potentially dangerous to national security, begin a romance with one of the lab technicians and attempt to sweet talk him/her into giving you the contents of the phone....
Good luck.........
Hey guys, this is my first time starting a thread on this site, so please bear with me for a bit. Earlier today my S2 was working fine, i was browsing the net, chatting and etc. But when i started my "whats app" it started lagging for a bit, because i was chatting to a group. Then all of a sudden when i lock my phone and later on unlocked it, it said the phone was running on "Safe Mode". Soo i google'd "how to exit safe mode on galaxy" and it gave me a few solutions, one of them told me to switch off the phone and remove the battery for a minute. I did that, and all of a sudden when i unlock my phone, applications keep crashing including the interface itself ("TWLauncher" i guess that's its name) Soo please help me as i don't know much about this. My phone is not even rooted, i could manage to open the task manager but that's all. I can't even use the usb as it will crash again. All help would be greatly appreciated =)
*small update* I could access my settings and i could switch to the ics launcher but i still can't use the net and stuff =S
Basically I've noticed the default apps that comes with the phone are acting up :S

You have not backed up your data ??? Nor do you have a nandroid backup ???
If so you need to access the internal storage of the phone via USB mass storage and copy off what you can .
Alternative methods such as rooting and installing a no wipe custom rom will probably keep your data but void warranty .

Problem is, i never backed up my data =S
And i can't access the USB mass storage, the thing keeps crashing and telling me to "force close" even if i try reporting the wifi isn't connecting to the network soo things are really messed up =S
I don't mind rooting my phone, as long as you could provide me a step by step guide on how to root my phone without loosing my data.

If you are not worried about your applications you just do factory reset of the phone and try
settings/privacy/factory data reset
if you are not able to do this,
Volume Up + Home + Power brings your Phone into Recovery Mode.
Volume up: Highlight up
Volume down: Highlight down
Home: select
Power: back
select wipe data factory reset
if your phone keep crashing and you will not be able to factory reset... then you can did it from recovery mode from stock ..
Just hold power-menu-vol up from off condition then chooswl wipe data from recovery mode
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )
Hello everyone and hope to find a solution to this problem that I caused myself.
A couple of days ago I came to buy a mobile for eBay, with very good features but that only brought two languages English and Japanese, after much research weno to rotearlo, I got you can rotear and is very easy, the question was to use a root desinstador to remove applications in Japanese, that is the question I deleted such that a Mobil has been almost useless, it lights have wifi but no network are not phone applications or contact, it says nothing about the SIM requests and configuration pin or setin gives many fs if it enters network.
Theirs would reinstall the official ROM but I can not find it, if I try to update it does not detect wifi Trough docomo network, tb I watched the efs folder and is not, and can not think of more, one thing in the middle of it desinstaciones I made a backup with titanium backup but not because reason gives me error and not installed, when I made this copy option worked even though I had uninstalled call phone icons and the calendar.
Another thing is that now I have the baseband because I don not known or something.
If you also have looked but I see nothing, I found and downloaded this F02E_F0001_V16R46A.tar.gz
I think it's the original rom unzipped weighs 900mg but remains in extension. tar and not as flasearla.
In conclusion let a disaster, so I do not know what to do with it, I may have a solution say hello.
You need to reset the phone.
Go to settings -> Backup&reset -> Factory data reset.
Note that Backup&reset is located in settings under "Personal" -> "more".

Hello lallolu yalo did but uninstall applications as root with root uninstaller did not restore

hello again I'm afraid the vendodor has few solutions, has sent me how to reset the phone to its factory state, let a hard reset, that's what I have done about 10 times, if someone can give me a hand, a file with tar extension of mobile rom but do not know how to install it, if you google samsung wonder absorbs everything and there is just one possible solution the search

Hi got stuck with a phone with 2 invalid imei's after it rebooted doing a cleanup with root cleaner on here somewhere I bought the copy from play store next thing it nukes my phone factory and destroys the imei's well annoyed, any way tried everything including making a file and dropping it and even flashing that file called MP0B_001 also used uncle tools and mtk engineering to try the way of changing imei's, all it does is refuse with a message user not allowed to or similar. Mega stuck no phone now either it's my only handset.Any help would be great, to be fair it's the second device this app root cleaner was used on that borked out.

Use this statter file (just open NotePad and paste on it , save as scatter.txt)
https://forum.androidurdu.net/attachment.php?aid=200
Flash This firmware , and use first scatter file , if it does't work use scatter from Firmware :

Flash like this.

If still you don't have IMEI try to write manualy with SN Write Tool.

Merry Christmas and many thanks for helping me, the firmwares I used went to a chime on black background. I then format+download all option with it with the made up scatter no good, upon reinstalling belulah it had prior it then miraculously restored my imei's, it's a strange round about method but works great
It's still going now, had some struggles with freedompop network they soon after fixing disabled for overlapping data usage of the free 200mb limit 1 day before due to refresh again, worst part I was just about to be boarding a train. Any way thanks to them for understanding the situation and on day 1 of refreshing they re-enabled the account and got my calls through, but yeah the imei's seemed to alter from the internal sticker unless that sticker was incorrect on the imei numbers to begin with there? I have seen that witha chinese haipai phone once the s3 clone and that did let you build and paste the imei in vram section of file structure and reassigned those imei's issue I had was the internal phone sticker and box illustrated imei's were not as dictated upon using the beneath battery imei's it resolved so it is a case with imports allways keep that box the imei loose sticker in the box to try those with a prefab nvram imei file you make or failing both try the imei panel beneath the sticker, but goes to say that if you throw the box and or sticker with imei's on it's not allways the imei set you see that is correct one go figure? Imei's can be a [email protected] is the final realization especially with chinese products. But many thanks been making calls sending texts and will never ever ever use a cleanup tool like root cleaner on bespoke or any other firmware again it's a warning for all those who use cleaners I suppose. But like my sig reads What Is The World If You Don't Explore? lol but another good addition to the sig would read And If You Are Going To Explore Make Sure You Have Those Bare Essentials! lmfao
I have had two devices which have been lost ,I have obtained 2 new sim cards and loaded whats app on to a new device for each phone.
I deleted my whats app account ( this would then remove old whats app data and chats from old device app ?)
I logged on to google drive and removed any access to whats app and deleted all back ups
I then changed my mobile numbers to further secure a the chances of no restall and back up as account number is dead !
My question is this - despite all my efforts will there still be a chance back up data will be stored on the file maanger ?
If YES then how long does it stay for ? I have deleted items which are a few weeks old , should they have been over written ? Will all the data be Unretrievable?
Thanks

So if the police have tech to find it then others can download and use that tech :-/ is this a real possibility even after someone has deleted their account ?
Ps the FMM thing only works if your phone is switched on , if I have disconnected my sim in the device there is no data going to it , do they need a WIFI connection to extract the data ???

Is there software anywhere that can break passwords ?
Is there software that can extract data by passing the pass code of your device ?
Does the device need to be switched on for DATA extraction and if so does it need to be connected somehow to the WIFI or connect online ?
If I can remote wipe my device , but it is switched off , would it matter if they can extract data while it is not connected online or to the WIFI ?

I'm guessing that the fact I have no idea what that means is to assume I didn't do it ..... I'm not the most tech savy of people so would not have known how to do this on a Samsung ?
Well that is a little reassuring if they can not by pass with any software ..... I've read so much stuff on the Internet saying that people can use all kinds of tech to break into phones ect !!
If I do use the remote wipe option but it says" trying to connect" does this mean it is switched off or off line and that they will need to switch it on if they want to take the data or get in and that will set the remote wipe into action ?
Thanks
