EFS image restore from another device

Hi,

I have a Galaxy Nexus I9250 (Canada Rogers). I did the big mistake of formatting all partitions (including /factory efs image) and lost my IMEI. Now it's got the generic 004999010640000 IMEI.

My friend was kind enough to take a backup of his own (I9250) device IMEI and shared it with me.

Is it possible to restore and EFS image of another similar device?

I did the following but still the IMEI is generic.

|root@android:/data/radio # dd if=/sdcard/efsFriend.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=4096
img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=4096 <
5120+0 records in
5120+0 records out
20971520 bytes transferred in 2.581 secs (8125346 bytes/sec)


I have also tried fuxkDocomo (****Docomo) and lots of other workarounds.

Asus flash tool 1.0.0.11 - Unzip image failure

So I recently unrooted my zenfone c, and my phone was behaving wierd (wifi connected but no internet, default file browser of phone shows nothing inside: absolute blank, connects to PC but doesn't show in my computer, tells camera does not exist...) and so I decided to flash the stock rom again, I downloaded the stock rom from asus, and the flash tool from the net. Now when I follow the instructions say ..............here->............(asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14894&extra=page%3D1% 26filter%3Dtypeid%26typeid%3D231), the following error comes up in the flash tool while pressing the start button

!- I did not use the rom specified in the above linked page, but downloaded seperately from asus website. what may be the problem... I am new so can't post screen shots from links, so here is just the link ...........plus.google.com/photos/107799030761055081656/albums/6209484049893645089/6209484057280146242?pid=6209484057280146242&oid=10 7799030761055081656............



I was also thinking about using sideload from ADB, but given the error, I think the file(stock rom) has some problem... and the other one is that I don't know where my ADB exists, amidst about a 2Million folders, I am on vista, so you can think how does the search work, if any one can help me regarding this that would be great. I don't know much about android studio yet, and I uninstalled eclipse IDE from my PC, that is why I am having problem finding ADB folder.



Also I am new here (at XDA) so please forgive my first time errors like wrong forums and such :)
Thank You To everyone in advance

Rear camera-hardware detected, yet black image. Camera "bus" malfunctioning?

Hi

Half a year ago my girlfriend accidentally gave my Z3 Compact a rollercoaster ride in our washing machine (full tour). The screen broke, but it could turn on and everything looked fine (gave no errors) when connecting to HDMI.

Yesterday I received a replacement LCD, which gave it a new life. It seems that everything works except for the rear camera. When opening any camera-app, the HUD is visible, but image is black, and no error. If i switch to front camera, which works, and back to the rear camera, it shows a freezed image of the last image from the front camera.

I checked some debug-apps to see if it detects the camera-module, and it does. If it's connected, alle the specs of the camera is listed, and if disconnected, the module is not listed.

I then got a broken Z3 Compact from a friend, and I tested both rear camera modules in both phones. The modules are working in his phone, both doing the same black screen in mine.

I tried hard reset, PC Companion-repair, updates, clearing camera cache etc., but with no luck.

Do you have any suggestion to how I can fix this?
Do you know where on the motherboard I could look for dirt in relation to some "rear camera bus/chip"?

Thank you for any help!

Nexus 6 - Google splash screen boot loop after flash of 6.0 factory image (unlocked)

Hi,

I'm hoping for some suggestions regarding my boot looping Nexus 6. Here's the details:

- Brand new device.
- First boot & setup. OK.
- Unlocked bootoader. OK.
- Reboot back into 5.0. OK.
- Tried to flash 6.0, initially using flash-all.bat from shamu-mra58k-factory-5b07088c.tgz. Failed.
- Extracted zip inside shamu-mra58k-factory-5b07088c.tgz and flashed all .IMG manually.
- Phone now stuck in boot loop. Google logo appears, sits there for 5-10 seconds then reboots.

I so far have tried:

- Multiple reflashes of 6.0 factory image. Boot loop remains.
- Multiple flashes of 5.1.1 factory image. Boot loop remains.
- Tried flashing Cyanogenmod cm-12.1-20151021-NIGHTLY-shamu.zip via recovery. Flash successful. Boot loop remains.
- Flashing gpt.bin and reflash 6.0 images. Boot loop remains.

This is the first time I've encountered issues. I've successfully flashed factory images to my Nexus 4 many times over the
last couple of years.

Does anyone have any suggestions re a fix, if at all possible? Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If i need to return it, should I flash to 6.0 and lock? Will they be able to tell that the bootloader has
been unlocked previously?

Thanks!!

Anyone Else Disappointed with Gear Image Quality?

Having spent way too many hours trying to perfect my own DIY HMD, I thought I'd found the solution: I could just buy a Note 4, buy a Gear, and be done with it ( at least until the Rift is released).

Got my Gear today, and ... I can't get over how poor the image quality is. It's not the Note 4 screen, which is fine, it's the lenses on the Gear. When I look at a screen capture on my HMD (using the Note 4 as a screen), and then look at it on the Gear, the same image seems drastically different: zoomed in, with pixels the size of baseballs drowning out all sense of immersion. I tried a 1080p video on the Oculus Theater ... it was so pixelated it reminded me of watching videos on my old psp ...

In every other respect the Gear beats my DIY HMD hands down, but in this one--I would argue very important area--it absolutely does not.

Am I the only one who had this experience?

Battery drain after Android 6.0 update using factory image flashing on Nexus 7 2013

I am seen huge battery drain on Nexus 7 2013 after flashing Android 6.0 factory image. Even battery usage option screen gives strange result. For example -- Total battery % used by all the apps just show 9%, while total battery left is only 73% after fully charging of 100%. So where is the remaining battery of 18% gone, which is not even showing up in battery uses option screen?

Attached herewith is screenshot of battery usage screen. And I really notice huge battery drain with Android 6.0 as compared to earlier Android 5.1.1.

Please help and let me know.

Custom header image

Hi assist team,

I'm using RR ROM which is based on CM,slim.omni and original Remix ROM builds.

In Settings -> Configuration -> Notification Header there is the possebility to "Enable notification panel header image". The option is called "Custum header image".

Here is the question: can you indeed customize said image and if yes where would you put it (which folder)?

I already asked in the thread, there was no reaction on my question, so I think they don't know.
I am wondering whether this is a CM, slim.omni or Remix feature?
If you could point me into the right direction, I'd be greatful. Then I can ask the people responsible :cyclops:

Xperia Z3-Black backlight only,no image.

Hello. I got this Z3 with a broken screen, when I got it it had only black backlight, no image, but the LCD cable on the bottom was cut, so I thought that was why it had no image.
So I replaced the screen with a new one, but the issue remains, no image, only black backlight.
Tried restoring the software with Sony PC companion, updated to latest version, but it didn't help.
The phone boots fine, touch works, I can select options and sometimes I even get audio readouts of what is on the screen, just no image.
Is this a dead motherboard or something else? Because I went through a couple of new screens, none worked, so I'm out of the ideas.
I haven't encountered a case like this before, the screen either works or doesn't, the fact that the touch works and I have backlight puzzles me. No backlight or no touch issues are a common case to me, but this is a new one.
Can someone help here?
Thnx
