Damaged EFS, no backup - is it possible to flash from another phone (damaged)?

Hi,

I have a problem with my S5. After flashing a custom ROM I found out that my IMEI is null, and so the EFS is corrupted. I tried to restore it from backup only to find out that I have deleted the backup :eek:

What can I do now? I anything? Would restoring EFS from another S5 (with damaged mainboard) could be a solution?
Generally everything works except of phone modem, I have got IMEI written - is there maybe a method to set the IMEI without EFS or a method to create EFS? I already tried sam IMEI changers, but I found out that they only do this on the application level - apps will be able to read different IMEI for licensing, but phone still sees NULL IMEI.

[BUG] Another Memory Bug

I had force stopped/greenified apps but even after that Android isn't releasing their used memory.
I had to uninstall all Apps and minimize using to WhatsApp,Gmail,Hangout and Hike Messenger.
I can't even keep extra apps installed.

I am using Greenify with Xposed Framework to freeze system apps and prevent them from waking up.
Still there is no way to gain memory of frozen apps.

Easy way to notice:
1. Open Settings-Applications-Running Apps-
2. Memorize free RAM.
3. Try force stopping bunch of heavy Apps.
4. You won't see free RAM increased no matter what you do.

I was actually thinking to give up S6 Edge but I hope Samsung or someone might fix this annoying Memory bug.

Note: I have tried all custom ROM's till latest Crash ROM V2.4.

Another bricked tablet thread.

Hello,

in may this year i bought my HDX7. I did not like fire os so i decided to install a custom rom (HDX Nexus v2.0.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/kind...-v1-1-t2835838). I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/kind...apped-t2954893 and everything went smoothly. I was rooted, safestraped (3.75). I've made second partiton for custom rom and installed it. It worked! Since then i did not change ANYTHING in my device but one day (week ago?) when i was watching a Twitch stream, tablet froze. I shut it down by holding power button. So the problem is it bootloops now between grey kindle fire logo and safestrap: dissabled screen. I guess im soft bricked? I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2793253 but no results. Adb, fastboot and safestrap seems to be working. Where should i start?

I do not have backup/recovery file since i did nothing with stock partition.
Last known OS: FireOS 13.3.2.4 and HDX Nexus v2.0.5
Safestrap: 3.75

Thanks for your time.

Pass data from one activity to another

Can you help me. I have developed a app with a quiz. When the quiz is finished a new activity (result) appears showing the score. I want to pass the score to a new activity namely score. Here is my code. What is wrong. The score must be showed in a textview.

What can go wrong flashing a modem file from another s6 variant?

So yeah what are some things that could go wrong doing this? I have a phone that has a ton of ROMs available for it, just not my carrier. I'm able to flash ROMs and they seem to work except for mobile data, voice, and SMS.

What can go wrong flashing a modem file from another s6 variant?

I have a USCC Galaxy S6 (SM-G920R4), and all of the ROMs here don't have any support for it as far as I know. I was able to flash XtreStoLite and everything was working fine with the exception of the mobile data and voice. Is it possible to flash a modem from another device to get this to work? What are some options for getting the mobile data and voice to work?

Hi I have a few questions about using a phone made for another neterwork (att) on tmo

Well in short I have an At&t Model GS4 the i337 its currently unlocked running on stock Nj4 and of course want to root it. First of all i suspect i need to use t mobile roms now that i am on that network.
Here is a list of questions and links are also appreciated as answers anything that helps!

First and foremost how should i root this (my last device was a G3) so if things are different please tell me also, I their an app or a thread you can point me to.
Secondly how do i update it to a v5.1 or the latest so updating them rom later is not a problem if i must use odin to do this (i want to use the latest to use odin the least)

Lastly anyone who can give directions on how to root and get to the latest version of android i wold greatly appreciate the time anyone spend to respond to this this post i TYIA

So any links that will work work with NJ4 I would be so happy I have only experience with the G3 I feel i know what to do with it but the Gs4 is new to me and i appreciate any help i receive/

Thank yo for reading this and TYIA for responding thank you for your help i hope its as simple as someone posting some links so i can do this easy i again thanks for leading me through the fog and TIA

Another WiFi issue - cannot turn on after upgrade

Hi,

I've decided to upgrade my Rom from a very old insert coin to either a new one or skydragon..

After flashing the ROM I can't turn on wifi, I searched around and found this to be a firmware problem and so have tried upgrading that (a few times).

Nothing I have attempted is working, kernals I've tried installing include the custom skydragon one, and fw_3.28.401.9_custom_without_red_text.

I can connect/flash via fastboot or recovery, the fastboot vars were

(bootloader) version: 0.5

But are these now (note S-OFF & SuperCID):

Does anyone know what I need to do now, if it's another kernal to try could you link it and let me know which method to use.
