Many of you might be getting INVALID IMEI after flashing any custom rom or full dump with sp, this guide will make a flashable zip of your imei which you can flash on any ROM after you see INVALID IMEI, make sure that you flash the zip after completing your 1st boot and not directly after rom, there are other reliable methods of restoring imei but this one is a very easy and quick method, keep the zip on your sdcard and flash whenever you get invalid imei
Instructions-
1.Be patient and it will fix your imei, read all steps till #14
2.Download the IMEI_WINDOWS.zip from below
3.Extract the contents to an easy location on PC (prefer C drive)
4.Open command promp and cd to the IMEI_WINDOWS folder
5.Now type "imei.exe 123456789111111 123456789111111" without quotes
6.Just replace both the 15 digit numbers with your IMEI 1 and IMEI 2 respectively
7.Now a file named "MP0B_001_NEW" will be generated in your IMEI_WINDOWS folder
8.Just rename it to "MP0B_001"
9.Now download the IMEI_FLASHABE.zip from below
10.Extract this zip and go to "/data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/"
11.Delete the placehere file and paste your "MP0B_001" file here
12.Now zip the META-INF and data folder and flash it with recovery :good:
13.You have to flash this after you see imei error on your 1st boot
14.Don't flash directly after the ROM, just do your first boot then flash it :fingers-crossed:

Can you please tell me how to flash as mentioned in Step 12 ? If you can add a screenshot of that it will be good.

[Q] recovery IMG name CWM.

I have been attempting to apply a work around from tjayz thread for restoring recovery. In the CWD folder we are supposed to search for 5) Navigate to clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
There you will see some two files - recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-p7100.img and recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img
I only see files with names like -2110140792 and -21108160.
Does anyone know if you can rename these files as described in his post?

I have an i9100p with nfc. U will loose the nfc but you can flash it back on any rom as far as i know. There is a nfc zip for ics and gb.
read this thread,this should be in the Q.and A
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455831&highlight=9100p
This is now sorted.
(download Samsung Network/Sim Unlock Code Generator/Patcher (SGS1/2/3) ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360174 )
(download superonclick - http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2 )
extract to your desktop or somewhere you will remember
1. root with superonclick
2. install rootexplorer (or any root access file explorer)
3. copy nv_data.bin from \efs folder to root of memory card.
4. enable usb access so you can see files on memory card on your pc.
5. copy nv_data.bin to a location you will remember
6. run SamsungUnlocker and browse to your original nv_data.bin
7. select samsung galaxy s2
8. click "generate unlock code" IF your lucky you will get the code on-screen, if not you will be prompted to generate a nv_data.bin that has the unlock already applied, save this to a location you will remember (i made a folder called "PATCHED" and put it in there)
9. copy the folder you created called "PATCHED" back to your memory card.
10. dissable usb access.
11. open root explorer and goto your memory card -> "PATCHED" folder. select nv_data.bin anc copy it back to your \efs folder and replace the original.
12. reboot phone. unlock should be done.
if this has not worked, check that there is only 1 nv_data.bin (mine had nv_data (copy).bin. check the date and time to make sure the nv_data.bin is the new one you just copied in, if not, rename the original nv_data.bin to nv_data (orig).bin, then rename the new one nv_data (copy).bin, back to nv_data.bin, reboot and all should be good.
Hope this is of some help, if not give me a should and i`ll be glad to try and help.
ALL THANKS FOR THIS UNLOCK GOTO THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER OF THE SamsungUnlocker APP

Dude, this is a dev forum not a n00b help desk.
Post topics in General or Q&A after using search, do not post this in dev forum, its for roms/kernels/mods/reference only!
download galaxy s unlock from play store n it will do the needful ..but from next time plz ask questions in Q&A section!!
P.S. I have done it myself on I9100P which m using currently and dnt forget to backup ur efs first..

[Q] Huawei G700 EMUI 1.8 B124

Hello
here i am posting here because i cant post on Miscellaneous Android Development , how ever i think i post there before while working on B5512
I Just got new G700 it came with B115 middle east channel , phone is good but as a start is there is a update i must ask my self is root ready , and CWM for sure so i start the digging
@chamaruco thank you for your great thread which saved and helped many people
now i got a file and i think you were looking for it ""G700-U10_V100R001C00B124CUSTC432D001_Firmware_Portugal_Channel-Others_4.2.1_EMUI 1.8_05021LMW.zip"" it contain usb upgrade and sd upgrade with drv and flash tool
i notice EMUI 1.8 not 1.6 which i saw for example a permission manager with it on P6 is that here in that rom too ?
is that rom improved than mine b115 phone is good for first look but
(in B115)
1-camera quality is strange i dont mean bad but it look very strange it is like very poor on quality
2-in call volume is too low in my opinion all " in test mode"
Question now did any one get that update "EMUI 1.8 B124" can tell is there is any improvements ?!
Question am i able to flash CWM image directly with flash tool to save some annoying procedures ?!
a member here provide flasher and cwm.img and orginal recovery.img
i did not work with the phone yet need to shift data from old phone remove ext2 part and prepare for change , and feeling lost here
want to strike it all once
i will upload "EMUI 1.8 B124" soon as it came from a private server
any suggestions are welcome
When you install 1.8 you will notice there is only a tap error from uploader..it is a 1.6 emui. That's all.
Hello

incase of softbrick the phone and unable to flash using spflash tool and receive " not allowed , forbidden "
solution
inside the usb upgrade >> flash "Rework-Secro" using scatter in same folder then you will be able to use download mode again

But my mobile does not boot into CWM recovery mode as i have seen in my previous Qmobile A8 it always restarts in the defualt recovery mode which only give options to "1. reboot, 2. update from SDcard, 3. update from cashe, 4. wipe/delete user data and wipe/delete cache and in the last there is a calibarate TP, AND OFF COURSE THESE ALL ARE THE ANDROID BUILTIN RECOVERY STEPS NOT OF THE CWM
And off course there is not any file or folder named update.app in the downloaded .zip/extracted file. "as i have mentioned above the folder contains a folder named META-INF and three img files named as boot cust and system while a .bin file named logo too.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP.

So after I select the Reworked scatter file there is only the sec_ro partition checked to flash. So after flashing it do I now select the previous scatter file and then flash everything (including preloader)?

custom Recovery for Tab 4
ok so I have been doing some lots of research of late into rom building, recoveries etc . I noticed there is only a TWRP recovery for Galaxy Tab 4. I want to know is the any of the guides on porting recoveries may help me build a CWM recovery for galaxy tab 4 coz most of them look like limited to MTK devices. If its possible kindly suggest a perfect start.
No problem with the OS to use am ok with any ie. Windows or linux or cygwin.

Hello guys, once again I present you with a mod for our local QMobiles, this mod actually replaces your system files so you are able to use 4GB memory AND 8GB from V2, and are able to move apps to SD too!

3) This mod.
4) Brain
How to:
Boot into recovery

Flash the zip
Factory reset
Reboot recovery

It is not a SPFT-Flashable file. To do this you have to do this:
-Make a backup of your important data (optional)
-Root your phone (Search for Kingo Root on Google)
-Flash CWM recovery (Look in Google for how-to and the file)
-Place this zip in the sdcard or internal
-Boot into recovery
-Make a nandroid
-Chose flash zip from sdcard
-Locate the file
-Click yes
-Factory reset your phone
-Restore /data partition from nandroid
-Reboot
And lastly ENJOY
And yeah, normal one (v1) makes your apps memory 4GB
And v2 makes it 8GB
