Hi all.
I have got my SGS II for 4 months and i was running it with stock rom and CF kernel. Yesterday, I was comming home from chrismas and was asked - as usual - to turn off my phone on the plane. Put it in plane mode and shut down.
Turned on for some series watching, turned off for arrival.
After that, my phone quit working: no SIM could be detected. After some research, I realized that my IMEI was set to 0 and Phone: unknown. I went back right away to stock, but it did not help.
By the time I flashed, i had no idea that efs folder did not came with cwm backup, so i have no backup of working efs folder.
I have some files on EFS folder, but i have no idea of what is "good" folder.
Can somebody point me to some direction?
I heard about some miracles perfomed by ODIA user, hehehe.
Thanks in advance.
Try this thread.
I did...
But I still cannot have access to change the efs files/dir. And still didn't figured how to have write access for these. Could you enlighten me?
Thanks!
To get write access you need to use a file explorer like Root Explorer (or similar) from the Market.

Are you getting "permission denied" and/or "read only filesystem" errors?
I take it you ARE running all commands with root priviledges?
It is working!
Thanks people! I've been struggling with this problem for only two days, but it feels like months! I needed to umount the /efs unit and mount again with other accesses priorities (r/w, i.e.).
In fact, this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261948&page=5 was the reason for me achieving this.
i had the same issue with my galaxy,
https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouR1NJSV9SZXBhaXIiXQ..
this utility helped me to fix it.
Thanks to Helroz
Glad you got it working Paulo I can imagine it would be pretty stressy to have a working phone one minute and a reboot later no IMEI.

hi guys, i'm new in this forum, and i'm new to android too, i just bought a htc desire x and want it to be root, but i have problem when trying to get token id in hasoon2000 HTC Desire X All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [1-1-2013], it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file.
usb debugging is already connected, please any one kindly fixing my problem, thx
sorry for my bad english. btw i'm from indonesia
Did you follow these steps?
How To Use. THIS IS FOR THE PC ONLY. No plans ever for Mac or Linux. Sorry.
1. Download the toolkit DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER
2. Download Winrar from here. Install it after you download it
3. Extract the folder anywhere.
4. Run the program.
thx for replying so quick, after i downloaded then i extract to desktop and just run the program by clicking the symbol written as desire, am i doing it right?
Try to unpack it somewhere else on a root of some partition of your PC, try to unpack it to non system partition.
ok thx, i'll try it tomorrow, i'm sorry i've to go home coz it's 11.41pm already in my town, and i'm still on friend's house.
thx anyway for your reply, i'll let you know the progress
hi nlooooo, i did what u told me to do and it worked, i unpacked to (Cdrive, but another problem came on my device when i clicked get token id.
here is the picture shows the problem
@nlooooo.....i just tried your way on rooting this device, and same problem came up on step 8 when getting token id, still it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file, i've found out my device still locked, is it because of the device still lock? here's the image shown
problem solved
hi nlooooo......i've rooted my device, just try to put all the downloaded file to C:drive, and followed your tutorial on your thread, and i succeeded, at least i saw superuser on my device, thx alot for your tutorial.
No problem, that's why we're here. If you see it then it should be it. Try to install some app that requires root privileges (Titanium Backup for ex) and see if it can get SU rights.
hi.....any recommendation of apps or what to do after this rooting? cos i really a noob in android and root things. thx

Go and open Superuser app, swipe to first screen and see if the binary is installed. Then go and clear data for Titanium and open it again.
If you still have the problem use some root explorer to check folder system/bin if there is a file named su.

I was able to by deleting autostart.iso file from \system\etc

You need root to do this... I probly should have mentioned that. Sorry. Getting root is easy now, there are a could threads on how to root with very easy step by step instructions. After you gain root, purchase root explorer from PlayStore (yes, you have to spend a couple $ but its worth it) and use that app to navigate and delete the file. You will likely use the app again, unless you switch to an iPhone. So it's worth the little bit of money.
I see autorun.iso, I assume that's what you're referring?

Ok. I was able to download a root explorer and remove the autorun.iso. But I notice the phone still says "Installer is connected" and I still can't view the sdcard or drive on the phone unless I'm in Camara(PTP) mode.

Check your usb debugging settings. you might need to either check that box or unchecked it. I can't help much more than that if you're using Windows, I'm a mac user. But that sounds like all you would need to do. Hope it helps.
Verizon installer
Okay here is a weird one (or maybe not). Started getting this when I first connected the S4 to PC via USB. Now when I connect my S3 I am getting the same popup. S3 is rooted never had this message.
I am thinking this is somehow embedded into the new Samsung USB drivers. When the phone is plugged in, some form of check reveals a VZW phone which triggers the installer????
Did anyone figure this out? I was able to stop the Verizon Installer Pop up by renaming the autorun.iso, but there is still a 30 second delay before I get access the the phones internal and external memory.

I think I figured it out. I'm still on original MDK build. I don't know if that changes anything.
1. autorun.iso removed (may not be necessary, but mine is gone)
2. enable hidden menus (step 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303905
3. enter dialer code *#0808#
4. select MTP+ADB
5. reboot (may not be necessary)
My phone originally had nothing selected. I don't know how to go back to that unselected mode. I can't guarantee anything. It's working for me. My phone now connects in MTP mode within a second or two of connection (unless the phone is in the middle of a reboot, then that has to complete first.)

Tried this on Sophisticated 2.5 . It's a 4.3 rom I get this: error: device offlineerror: device offline even though Link Status is Device Connected. My autorun.iso file was in /system/etc I renamed it. Changing the dialer code *#0808# to MTP works until I reboot. Same thing with dialer code *#7284#. I edited a file in /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu "OFF" changed to "ON" all in capital letters This survives a reboot.
But MTP doesn't

Removing the file should work, if it's giving you a delay then my guess is either your computer or the device is trying to find the file. Back on my s3 and dna rom I had only removed the file and vzw installer didn't show up

Removing the file does not solve the problem, it still connects as installer for a while before connecting as media device. It's not a huge problem, just annoying! I'm curious if everyone has this problem, or if it's just a few of us??

I have the same issue. I've tried looking through/changing settings in build.prop, default.prop and init.usb.rc with no luck. I need to do a little more searching to better understand init.usb.rc as a lot of the settings are jibberish to me.

Using a PC to root seems like moving backwards compaired to a 'one click' apk. but we're already at the PC to flash eng_boot, plus this new method is so much faster...so here we go
Features:
SuperSU 2.82
Init.d
Wifi fix
Flashlight fix
Issues:
For the wifi fix I just copied an edited J320a build.prop
So J320AZ users will see J320A in about device, and will have to reassign notification sounds. (Hope to fix it in the future)
Needed Files:
Odin
Root_J320A.zip
Procedure:
1. Unzip both files.
2. Run Odin click the 'AP' button.
3. Navigate to Root_J320A/bin and select sm-j320a_Engroot_601PJ2.tar and press "Start" (make sure NOT to check re-partition)
4. After it completes sucessfully, leave the phone hooked to the pc... and then wait, wait a good 2 or 3 minutes after its booted.
5. Once 2 or 3 minutes has gone by you can navigate to the Root_J320A folder.
6. There you'll see root.bat, double click that let it do its thing.
6a. If at any time during the script you see "adb out of date. killing..." hit the x to close the window and restart the script.
*This may work on J320AG models but make sure you check oem unlock from dev settings first... and let us know how it goes
Enjoy

I assume it'll work for all 6.0 updates we get.

I suggest you put 'root' in the tile, otherwise google cannot find it.
I googled 'j320a root', google only links to ashyx's post which doesn't... well maybe only mine phone.
I am new to this root bit.
Possibly I have done something wrong. I read your instructions carefully and quit didn't understand where the unzipped files should go. Do any of these have to be placed in the phone's directory?
Failed on my AT&T SM-J320A
I wonder if it has anything to do with the new update pushed out recently
@JeffF73
Run Odin and Click ap.
Navigate to the directory where you unzipped root_j320a.zip.
In that folder you'll see a bin folder, inside that is sm-j320a_Engroot_601PJ2.tar, which needs flashed to the phone.
Once that's complete, let it boot and wait.
Then run root.bat

Hello DamienMc Thank you for your reply and help. I figured it out. I had to put my phone in "Download Mode" by holding down Volume Down, Home Button and Power button while booting. Then I was able to use Odin without failing. This solved all my problems thank you

Yes, that has selinux set to permissive as well, although there's no real difference. The build.prop differences are noticable tho...I plan on doing an update to this, just have to figure out how to tell if it's A or AZ from adb

Yes, it works for QC1. However, you may need to replace build.prop in /bin from QC1 with WiFi fix before root.
I did notice that after root, the contents of /Android/data folders in both internal storage and external sd card are hidden from PC. Before root, both are visible from PC. Any thoughts about what cause the changes?
Will this work on July security patch?

Reflash CSC as well, that'll wipe your device but fix your problem.
Are you sure you waited long enough after the phone booted before rooting?
If at any time during the script you see it say "adb server out of date. Killing..." something is wrong. You can x the command prompt and do root.bat again.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/how-to/root-samsung-sm-j320a-galaxy-express-t3573628
Well my wifi wouldnt save any passwords , flashlight was broken and my ATT J320A would always want to boot in to recovery mode. I thought i was screwed!!!! Then i seen one link in the thread to this thread where Kingroot was not needed.
I opened Odin and gave a shot and then ran Root.bat file, and the device rebooted wifi and flashlight were fixed and best of all my J3 was now rooted!!!!!
Still working on getting rid of that annoying pop up but all is good, thanks so much for this root and fix from the other thread.

@james2ya If you are talking about the pop that either says something in the order of "Unathorized activities where made" go to the play store, download and install SecurityLogAgent Fix, Open it up and click "Disable Securitylogagent" then restart phone when it asks. This should help get rid of that popup.
works great for me! now i just need a custom rom. is it possible to install trwp on j320a?
So, after I finally managed to unbrick my phone, I am still left with the problem of the IMEIs being 111111111111111 and 222222222222222.
There are countless threads on this topic on these forums, but I could not get anything to work. Either they use tools with links which aren't available anymore or their solutions just plain don't work.
Something I tried more than others is generating an MP0B_001 file and pushing it over to /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVB_IMEI/ (Not entirely sure about the last folder name. I just tab-completed...)
However, using the generated file, changing owner and group to radio:radio and setting permissions to 660, I get no valid IMEI. *#06# is simply blank and the phone info screen says "Unknown".
Now, here's the best thing: Even after moving the original file and fixing ownership and permissions, it still does not restore the IMEI. I'm really not sure what is going on here.
What else can I do? I tried rooting my phone and installing mobile uncle, but that didn't seem to work at all. Engineering mode is missing CDS Information, so that is a no-go. Mtk Droid Tools I haven't found a working download yet. (It's also windows-only. No clue how well that is going to work with wine. I'm on Linux.)
I'm really at a loss. As far as I know, changing your IMEI is illegal in Germany. Using such an obviously fake one is just asking for trouble.
I finally figured it out! I had been at this for hours when I posted this thread and, of course, right after I post it, I manage to fix it. (Well, two hours after posting. In the grand scheme of things, right after.)
On https://www.leakite.com/2016/04/how-to-change-modify-of-fix-null-imei.html method #2 finally worked. However, the pttycmd1 is not in /dev directly, but in /dev/radio. I also had to reflash since /dev/radio was empty. (Probably due to various other attempts to change the IMEI, which made it disappear entirely)
If somebody stumbles upon this with the same problem, here's what you do:
- root your phone
- enable usb debugging
- enter an adb shell (alternatively, you can use a local root terminal)
- Execute:
su
echo 'AT+EGMR=1,7,"IMEI1"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1
echo 'AT+EGMR=1,10,"IMEI2"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1
- reboot
This is by far the easiest method I have found so far and ended up being the only one that worked. Why is this not recommended more often?
I agree, these methods should be more widely available on web forums etc. At moment I have tried IMEI changer but the trouble is on a dual sim phone, it seems to change both IMEIs to the same number! So far from ideal.
Just curious on method above, does one not actually put in the "" marks and just enters the actual two IMEIs?

I finally figured it out! I had been at this for hours when I posted this thread and, of course, right after I post it, I manage to fix it. (Well, two hours after posting. In the grand scheme of things, right after.)
On https://www.leakite.com/2016/04/how-to-change-modify-of-fix-null-imei.html method #2 finally worked. However, the pttycmd1 is not in /dev directly, but in /dev/radio. I also had to reflash since /dev/radio was empty. (Probably due to various other attempts to change the IMEI, which made it disappear entirely)
If somebody stumbles upon this with the same problem, here's what you do:
- root your phone
- enable usb debugging
- enter an adb shell (alternatively, you can use a local root terminal)
- Execute:
su
echo 'AT+EGMR=1,7,"IMEI1"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1
echo 'AT+EGMR=1,10,"IMEI2"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1
- reboot

I completely agree, this is the easiest method and it just works, no software needed (if made via terminal software on the phone itself). But the commands you posted are slightly wrong. there should be a space between the AT+ and the EGMR:
Code:
su
echo 'AT+ EGMR=1,7,"IMEI1"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1
echo 'AT+ EGMR=1,10,"IMEI2"' >/dev/radio/pttycmd1

Good night, I did the twrp and I think I deleted some files from the DEV folder, because my IMEI does not appear anymore. I'm with the TWRP and rooted device. Some tip to reset my IMEI. My handset is a power 3 ulefone
Thank you!
I lost IMEI after flashing stock ROM on my Elephone S8 and there was no option to set in Engineering Mode.
100% the easiest way to fix
I have a Acer Liquid E700 E39 that has /dev/radio empty too.
This happened after i flashed a stock rom.
What can i do?
Thanks in advance.
Great share for restoring IMEI, thank you!
