Hi,
I was on omega v11 and then i flashed on top without a wipe v14 Jelly bean and now i am not getting any signal.
I reported it on the forum and i was told that my imei number has been changed and it has , and i don't have a backup of the efs folder either.
So i was wondering has anyone faced the same sue and was able to resolve it to restore my imei? I got told to send it back to Samsung for repair, i am considering it but it could take up to weeks with them.
I have also had a look at this but i think it is for international version of the s3 ?
http://www.gfcforum.com/samsung-tip...laxy-s3-backup-restore-imei-without-root.html
Thanks in advance
Don't you think that as you have flashed it, at least twice, it might make Samsung laugh at you if you send it for repair, warranty or not? Here in the UK it's illegal to try and change your IMEI...

Have you tried flashing back to ics? I know this happened on the S1 and for some flashing original firmware fixed it.

If you have no backup of your imei then basically you are screwed and need to pay Samsung for recovery since loosing an important folder when flashing something that voids your warranty is not covered under it.
You could try using Triangle Away and then going back to stock to send it in to Samsung, claiming that Kies or a phone reboot did this. It seems to happen sometimes so Samsung can not prove you wrong unless you screw up

Try gsii repair from the market...previously i'd also lost my imei..this app saved me..Thanx the dev if it will help you...
If it had stock or even the original; firmware and no modified status i would return to Samsung saying Kies update broke it .

He's talking about the Omega V14 rom (based on the JB leak from 14/08/2012). It uses the Aroma installer and features an EFS backup button during installation. Too bad he didn't use it
I dint know anything about the efs until after it happened to me
i tried to to go back to original software official, and i used triangle away and i got binary Samsung official and software status custom and then I went into odin and flashed the stock Samsung rom and everything went well until after the reboot, then my phone stayed on the Samsung boot logo and now it's stock and then i went into download mode to look at me status and it was still the same binary Samsung offical and software status custom

Strange that you cannot access recovery. It should work. However, as a last resort you can flash a stock build using ODIN and then wipe data off
just flash cf root and recovery again should reinstate it with Odin, then you won't lose anything hopefully

I should have said that everytime when I boot up my phone it goes into a black screen. Unless I go into download mode, which in my case still works. So I just flash a stock rom using odin?
Flashing a stock Rom will fix it too, but back everything up as you will lose it all, but if you were rooted then just flash the cf root in Odin, that will give you your recovery image back (remember on the s3 recovery image is separate to kernel)

I think all you need to do (if you haven't solved it yet) is to get into recovery mode by pushing volume up + home + power, is a common issue after flashing... once you get there, perform a wipe cache, and wipe/factory reset, and you should good to go
Hi,
I have a problem. I did a factory data reset and and phone is not booting more than Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 screen after that phone shuts off. I can get to Download Mode and from here I need further directions what to do.

Search the forum for the answer this is a common problem. You will need Odin. Since you have bricked your phone install a custom Rom and Kernel. You will not go back to stock!!

What firmware was you using when this happened. You've sounds like it's recoverable. If download mode is all you can get your probably get best results by downloading official firmware from Sam firmware and extracting it then flashing the zip file in odin via PDA section. All the best.

I don't remember exactly my firmware but it was 4.0.3 and I haven't installed 4.0.4 but I did have CM10 just before I did restore from CWM and now I did factory data reset, this happened.
I prefer stock ROM, but I don't mind custom ROM either as long as I can get back to stock ROM

Flash a stock Rom via Odin. Wait till your phone boots up. Go back to Odin install a custom kernel (i recommend siyah kernel). Backup your stock Rom, then install a custom Rom. There is a lot of tutorials to tell you exactly how to do this process. If you need help at any point of this process just send me a message and I will give you a detailed walkthrough. You should be fine though!!
Goodluck

If you want stock then take your pick from stock firmware at samfirmware. Aviod the ones with the red warning triangles, risk of brick bug!

How about from the intratech's thread? And is the Odin flash failing risk big with the situation I have right now?
I've used odin A LOT and never had a problem. I only ever use the PDA section and never touch anything else because I don't understand it. I can't comment on intratechs thread as I've never used his software. Any custom ROMs are normally flashed via CWM.

Yes, download and flash new rom, Then you have guarantee your phone will boot up because after flashing kernel you might get bootloop too.

This is because you flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
# Quick question:
Is your phone on Gingerbread, Android 2.3.x or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich), Android 4.0.x?
# If your phone is on ICS, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.5.2.tar

I have the I9100BVLPH stock ROM from T-Mobile UK on my phone so I downloaded the correct Chain Fire kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and this caused the phone not to boot.
Thanks for the link to Siyah, I used the v4.1.5 kernel and it worked great.
Hello there.
I'm in a bit of a trouble so I need some help. I've bought an S2 for my wife from a guy (in Ireland).
The phone was locked on Vodafone so I tried to root it maybe I'll be lucky to unlock it with out paying nothing. So, the phone is on Gingerbread with a BUKJ3 kernel. I've downloaded last night a CF root but by mistake I took a KG3 instead of KJ3. After flashing with Odin 1.85 I got stuck on the boot screen with the yellow triangle.
This morning I've downloaded another kernel as in KJ3 flashed with Odin, the phone is starting but no network coverage, I tried with different Sim cards but nothing so I went in recovery mode and wipe/format data, system, dalvik and cache as factory reset as well. Since that moment the phone won't boot, it gets stuck on the boot screen and yellow triangle.
I can go in recovery mode and download mode with no problem but I can't make it start.
I reflashed the kernel, I don't know what to do and tomorrow is my wife's birthday and I was trying to surprise her with a nice phone but instead looks like she is gonna get a brick ( I hope not)
Thank you guys for any help.

Thank you for the reply. I don't mean any disrespect but for the last 3 hours I'm looking over kernels and forum and my brain is really wired now maybe.
I've had a look at sammobile but I can't find what you've recommended. A more specific link will be more than helpful.
Thank you very much anyway. If I'm getting advises it means I didn't bricked the phone so I might be able to fix it.
Once again thank you.
You just go to sammobile,then register,then firmware and files,then put the info in the 4 fields
eg
Smartphone
Android
Gt-i9100
Then uk/ire XEU (or vodafone or whatever..but unbranded better)
Then youll see a list about firmware version and their release date
Eg
Lpt 4.0.4 ics jul 2012
Lp7 4.0.3 ics apr 2012
So download lp7 4.0.3 and flash with odin.
Then use the rooting guide in my sig
Then do the other things I said.

Thank you very much. In the mean while I've managed to find exactly what you've said in your answer. I've choose the gingerbread version of the ROM cause that was what the phone had when I've bought it.
SO, now is it safe to go on ICS like I did half an hour ago with that Gingerbread rom?
Thank you and sorry about the noob question, never used an Samsung, only HTC.

So try that or theres a thread about "restore imei in 9 easy steps".

I know I was stupid enough not to read before flashing, but now it too late to think about that.
the thing is I've never used a galaxy phone until these days and I wasn't aware of all this things and I don't know how to restore this NAND backup IF I have one, as I didn't make any backup before flushing. I hope I'll get some help from somebody and as I've said, a nice donation will be on the way to the helper.

Fellow S3 users,
I am hopeless because i try almost everything but 1 problem remains.
PROBLEM: Phone doesn't react after screen is of for 5 sec. (And when i reboot the samsung animation hangs just a little bit)
''Did some heavy benchmarks to see if is going to freeze but they run as they should no problem at all''
What i did try to solve:
- Wipe/Factory
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Wipe Batt Stats
- Mega Wipe (app)
- Format cache/system/preload/data/sdcard
- Flash different Roms Stock 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2
- Flashed 4.0.4 and did a OTA to 4.1
- CM 10
- Darkys
- Omega
- Foxhound
- Revolution
And i did this over and over again.
Wiped everything for over 15 times
Flashed roms for over 15 times
ATM i am on the Dutch Stock 4.1 that i updated trough OTA
But there has to be something stuck on the system??? Or is it a hardware problem (buttons work fine don't hang)
If someone is able to give me the right instructions to solve this problem then i am prepaired to donate some money to buy some hamburgers or beers. :good:

When you bought your s3, did it have that problem or was it after you began flashing that it occurred.
You mentioned that your on Dutch stock now. Did you note were your original firmware was from, like typing *#1234#, would give you values for AP, CP and CSC.
I mean the values for *#1234# just before you did any flashing or update.
My point is maybe, originally the firmware was from a different region as compared to what is on it now even though it is stock. Bring it to the original firmware region. If you did that also, I guess I am stuck also. Hope someone can help you.
Like my s3, originally its firmware was from region Kenya. Updated official firmware but chose a new region.

becouse that did not quite work out, i flashed the stock kernel on it again, and wanted eveything back to stock. but now when i open some apps they wont allow me anything becouse i do not have the original firmware etc on it....
I also cannot do software update becouse it says im running something custom,
if someone could telle me what to do to really bring it back to stock evething that would be great!

Faqs and guides .
Problem is what >> apps are not working ??
The post from start to finish reads as you have flashed firmware for another model on the phone .Apps have nothing to do with original firmware .
Stock 4.3 ????>>>>> not a Samsung firmware .
bartely use any apps becouse im on a "custom firmaware
>>>>Apps work on custom firmware unless you are trying to run Samsung apps on non Samsung based custom roms .
Start at the beginning what model phone do you have as per the label under the battery .
If I9300 then remove ext sd card and flash a proper Samsung stock rom through Odin . You should then be able to flash Philz recovery .
Boot to recovery mounts and storage format sd card system data cache and preload .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin see faqs and guides for the return to stock for warranty post
jj you didnt read it correctly.
he first rooted and installed 4.3 and wanted to go back to stock.
he flashed stock but apps still arent working properly.

As you say but apps not working is probably non Samsung apps .
But need clear indication of the problem to solve it.

There are a number of apps that will not work on rooted phones banking apps usually .
See the how to use Barclays Bank app post for clues to getting these apps to work on rooted phones .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823649&highlight=barclays
you just need to reset the Rom counter to 0 and make it official
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847
it might help , if you didn't get any part of it just ask
PS: just to make sure get into download mode and see what does it says in the upper left corner ?
