[A] How to Repair the EFS Folder / How to Fix : ' Not registred in Network ' - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello my Friends ,
I had this Problem and solved it by Myself.
So i wanted to share the solution for you!
1. Custom Way
First you will need a Tool called ' Mega Wipe ' .
It will clean all your Storage and make it ready for the next ROM. ( Download by zoot1 )
2. Now go to Recovery Mode and start the Aroma Installer. Choose the Mega wipe and let the Installer delete your Internal Storage.
3. Install The ROM that you want and ' Voila ! ' your Phone is good to go. No IMEI Error's no Network Error's.
2. The Way for UltimaROM User's
There's are way for Ultima users too.
1. Just start the Aroma Installer to Install the ROM ( Shiva 14.01v or newer ) , then go to 'Super Wipe' ( It Cleans your entire Storage like the 1st Way )
2. Select the MOD's that you want like normally. After that Reboot.
3. And at the End your Phone should work like normal.
If it worked : Congratulations !
And If it helped someone , please leave a thanks to know that it helped others.

If you Downgrade to an Older Modem the EFS folder will become Invalid.
The EFS Folder is only Compatible with the Version you are using or newer.
Just follow the instructions from the OP and all will be good. I can't secure if it works by anyone who did it . Just give it a try.

The thread title is misleading as this wont work for most. We already have an imei / efs thread that I wrote in general > sticky roll-up
Perhaps you should rename this thread "[tip] How I fixed my efs - not registered on network - issue"

[Q] GSM Bricked(?)

Hi guys, I need help...
I update my Optimus One p500 with the leaked gingerbread rom following the russian guide... I chose the Erase EFS option and now the phone does not recognize my sim card.
I try nand restore and restore kdz, but the phone stay without recognize the sim card...
Can someone help me?...
Thanks!
I had selected erase efs apps and i am ok. Another guy had also selected erase efs all. He lost his nv. But you might be having the nv file in the same folder. You will have to flash it via lg tool only. But i dont know how. Wait for somebody else to reply and also post in specific dev thread.
If you dont have nv file, only lg service can help you. Go there as noob.

"Erase EFS ALL" is a bad idea if you don´t flash back nv2-files afterwards...
follow the manual in the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmsmiCswC88&feature=player_embedded and do NOT use other settings or your phone will not work anymore...
--> is there any way to return gsm after Erase EFS ALL?
a) flash your nv2-file (it´s saved by LG-flash-program automatically - if you did not delete it afterwards !!!)
b) if you deleted your nv2-backup from your computer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534704 (could work maybe)
c) go to lg service
nv2-file includes e.g. you IMEI or MAC-Adress..so your phone will not work whithout this !!!
!!! the nv2 file is not included in *.kdz !!! its phone-specific !!!

[Q] Can I delete all folder & files on the I9100?

Hello everybody,
I found my i9100 has many trash files after flashed unofficial roms , But I don't know which files can delete or not?
I have tried to factory reset and it still exists!!!!!
Have Somebody tell me? Can I delete all folder & files (Such as "system",or all under the / folders), and flash the official ROM to restore ? Thanks!
You can format PHONE wiping all data followed by a factory reset or rom flash .
Complete format via recovery mounts and storage if you want to be even more clean but phone will not boot from this .

[Q] Resurrection Remix ics v1.4[4.0.4] rom Install Help

Okay i read his entire thread almost at least 100 pages, I searched countless times for a dummies installation guide
My old andriod dell venue broke so, Okay i got mad and threw it lol, anyways i read reviews about the Samsung Galaxy S2 so got it, I decided i want ICS and i choose his as it looks more favorable among the others.
My Model number is GT-I9100
Andriod version 2.3.4
Can some one please take the time to tell me what is the correct steps to take to make my phone capable of installing this Rom
I seen his instructions
Install the Main ROM 1.4 (important: dont install siyah kernel yet )
install aokp gapps
Reboot
and the Faq Link
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install the Main ROM
Install the Gapps for AOKP
In recovery go to Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot
This will be my first time doing this so can someone please dummy this down for me cause the install rom is greek to me, Do i need to put the rom somewhere, is there pre steps i must do before my phone will accept this
Thank you in advance to any one that helps
Hey,
Im assuming that you still have a factory standard phone so you will first need to root it. If you search google there is loads of guides on how to do this.
then you need to download and install CWM recovery (clockworkmod) again another google search
then you can proceed to the rom installation instructions
download the ROM (zip file ... dont unzip) and stick it somewhere on your SD card
turn your phone off then boot in to recovery by holding volume up, menu key and power button then do factory reset etc and then install zip from sd card (the zip being the ROM)
Please press the thanks button on this reply if you found it helpful
Cheers
Bidoa
Read and learn, everything is there for a noob : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24849218&postcount=3 thanks to JJE
Keep reading. All will come together. Basics first. Root then look on how to install roms. Patience.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
First step you need to do is root the phone. I used the guide here after following what the guy was doing a few times in the video.
Then BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER as soon as you have root. An app called HC-KTool on the android market can do this. Be sure to verify your backup too and copy the efs.img to your PC for safe keeping.
Get titanium backup and batch backup all user apps and system data. Copy the folder on your internal SD onto your PC also.
Boot into CWM and make a backup here too.
Now you are ready to flash a ROM - Resurrection Remix ICS 1.4 here contains links and FAQ.
As it's your first ROM install you should follow the full installation guide in the FAQ. I stayed with the stock kernel as had problem with siyah and theroux.

[Q] Does my Omega installing plan need adjustment?

Hey guys,
I am completely new to this whole topic so I read several hours and finally came up with a plan for what to do to install omega when my Galaxy S3 i9300 (my first android phone) will arrive tomorrow.
If you spot any mistakes I would make (also in the files I plan on using), please correct me!
1. Upgrading to Jellybean with Kies
2. Installing CWM (File name is CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5 - It's a .tar) via Odin 3.0.4 in download mode- I think I know how to do that
3. Rebooting in Recovery mode and creating a Backup File with CWM - I think I know how to do that
4. Saving the Backup file from the clockworkmod\backup folder on my PC
5. Rebooting in recovery mode and wiping data, cache and dalvik cache - I think I know how to do that
5. Copying the .zip file of Omega to (a folder called root??) internal SD-Card folder of the Galaxy S3 (File name is I9300_Omega_v31_XXDLJ4_Jelly_Bean)
6. Rebooting in recovery mode again and selecting “install zip from SD card” to install the Omega zip
7. Customize like a boss
done
(optional)
8. Realize something doesn't work properly and spam the forums with QQ threads OR Realize I bricked my brand new phone and cry furiously
Thanks in advance for letting me know if my plan needs adjustment

1. Upgrading to Jellybean with Kies
>>>> No reason to unless the rom instructions say to .
2. Installing CWM (File name is CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5 - It's a .tar) via Odin 3.0.4 in download mode- I think I know how to do that

OK
4. Saving the Backup file from the clockworkmod\backup folder on my PC
OK
5. Rebooting in recovery mode and wiping data, cache and dalvik cache - I think I know how to do that
OK
5. Copying the .zip file of Omega to (a folder called root??) internal SD-Card folder of the Galaxy S3 (File name is I9300_Omega_v31_XXDLJ4_Jelly_Bean)
NO NO not a folder called root . Just place on your sd card .
6. Rebooting in recovery mode again and selecting “install zip from SD card” to install the Omega zip
YES
Fails to boot first time one it make take a while for first boot boot stuck recovery and factory reset .

Flash recovery
Do factory reset, than wipe dalvik.
Than flash Omega.
Finally reboot and enjoy
But I'm recommending InsertCoin, because it is easy theamble with better themes, very stable (still haves some problems, but reboot solves them), mostly no lags, good memory managing.

Hey,
thanks for your answer! I have to install jellybean first if I want to install a ROM for Jellybean, right? So I guess that's not explicitly in the instructions but it's still a requirement?? Or does Omega install Jellybean itself?
I am really not sure, but I think I have to install Jellybean first.

It worked! Thanks alot!
(For other beginners: I put the Omega zip file on an external sd card, not sure if it works with the internal one. Works without upgrading to Jellybean first.)

In the folder 234cea place it in there!!!

I have got to say that this smells SO bull****! I mean come on, seriously!!
Why on earth do we need to extract anything to phone? Its the zip that does the magic anyways. And give even specific folder to the phone? It has got nothing to do with installation..
I smell shiat and viruses. Beware ppl.
Roms should be flashed via a zip not doing a system restore. @The_Merovingian
What's the XDA policy on installing other peoples ROM backups?
Sent from my SM-A500FU
DUDE I JUST SAID THAT THE FACTORY RESET HAS AN ISSUE!!! So you have to restore it for it to work. Do you understand now bro?
OK guys new installation rules coming up
Download an app called degoo backup
Then put type in the email: [email protected]
the password is:xdarocks
Then go to my files and select other then click download folder
password is xdarocks
Good luck guys!!!
