when something miss with files in /system/efs/.
you will see a notification that tell you (factory mode:some functions will not work properly,wifi disabled,exit factory mode to user mode).
you will see that your wifi disabled....or sometimes see a yellow banner on your screen tell you about your phone specification and there is
something wrong...
so you should came back to user mode to use your device properly.

I know im late but this is a bit confusing for me. I have rooted my x10 and according to "rootchecker" I also have busybox installed.(tho I can't find the busybox icon in my menu, it's just the superuser) Now I've seen some mods that requires me to flash the files via xrecovery. For example Bravia Engine, FPS Uncap, X-loud.
Now my question is when I open those file it has two folders "META-INF" and "System" now how do I put this into my phone?
Methods & Problems:
xRecovery - How do I flash the .zip file via xrecovery? Should I put it in my sd card and from the xrecovery mode press "Install update.zip from SD card"?? If yes then where in SD card? And Do I have to rename it as update.zip when I put it in my SD card?
Changing Value - There are some apps that requires changing value of my build.props. But when I change the value and try press tab to save, the save tab doesn't show (I mean I can't click on it). Then when I press back there's two option of "save" and "Discard" but when I save it and then re-enter into my build.props the value gets back to its original state. It doesn't change??
Unpacking - It says in a topic "Unpack all of the files to the relevant folders on your mobile" - What relevent folder? the folder it has in the zip file is not present in my sd card (I can see those folder via astro manager and I tried to copy/paste those folder into my sd and then via asto I tried to replace each original file that I have in my phone but it doesn't work, it doesn't let me paste it)
Sorry if this sounds stupid to you guys but I'm new to android and I'm having problem getting things right. So if any of you would help me through this issue step by step it'd be greatly appreciated.
To install those kind of things you have to use flashtool to add xrecovery to your phone, then you have to copy the .zip file in the sd card then turn off your phone and turn it back on when you get the sony ericsson logo start hitting the back key repeatedly till you go in xrecovery mode, use volume keys to go down and menu key to select, select the option install custom zip... then select install from sd card, then select the zip, and then select yes... let it install it and once is finish remove the battery and put back in, turn on your phone and the bravia, xloud or whatever zip you installed should be already running

To change the values in build.prop I recommend the use of Root Explorer,
Go to the folder \system\, tap on the grey button at the top of your screen, that says "Mount R/W", (after tapping it will read "Mount R/O". This will make the copying in root-folders possible, too.... you have to have changing-rights (read-write) to copy things into root-folders.
Then long-click on build-prop, scroll down and choose "Open in Text editor", change whatever you must change, and click left-hardware-button and after that choose "Save and Exit". The Root Explorer will make (and announce) a backup-copy named "build.prop.bak".
This should work.
Good luck, greetz,

A quick question. How does one disable the CD ROM pop-up that appears when connecting the phone? I tried using the same code as on the original Incredible (##7764726), and while it does take me to the same feature editor and I can select CD ROM option and do "disable", it reverts to "enabled" immediately.
Thanks in advance!
PS If anyone knows how to move apps onto an external SD Card?

I do have that. Would you happen to have instructions how to get rid of it?

Don't have the phone in front of me right now, but i believe you navigate to \system\etc and cdrom.iso is in there, just delete it, or rename it (your choice).
If you don't have an app like rootexplorer you can also do it in TWRP's file manager. Just make sure you mount "system" first or you wont see the folder.

This worked for me:
Dial ##PROGRAM#
Press Call
Enter six zeros for the password
Go to Feature Settings
Disable CD ROM
Back out

hmmm ##PROGRAM# does nothing for me.
The ##PROGRAM## worked for me and gave me the menu, but no matter how many times i set the cdrom to disabled it never changes, just remains enabled.

I'm with void4ever. Dialing the ## code was the first thing I did, just like on old Inc. I see the menu, but the change to CD ROM setting does not stick. It reverts to Enabled as soon as I hit OK on the selector...
you go to system/etc/ and remove (or re-name to .bak) CDROM.ISO

Hi guys and gals. after many attempts, i have working cricket mms on my evo 3d
So... you root and research a good custom rom for you. You flash it, all goes well, it looks cool, feels nice you are on top of the world... (like I was) then you find your mms does not work...
here you go
1. make sure you have es file explorer downloaded
2. open your es file explorer
3. go to settings and select Root settings
4. check all the boxes and grant for superuser
now you are looking at the files on your sd card
5. click the "slash" icon on the top left
now you are looking at the whole phone
6. scroll down and select "system"
7. scroll down and select " build.prop"
it will ask you which program to use. I used the es note editor
NOTE you will be changing the build properties of you rom from sprint values to Cricket values
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE!!!
9. scroll down slowly you will see ro.build.fingerprint=Sprint
delete Sprint and change it to cricket
10. scroll down about 1/2 of the way down and you will see additional build properties
you will be looking for 4 lines
gsm.sim.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=(change to 310016)
gsm.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
gsm.operator.numeric(change to 310016)
and about 3/4 fof the way down
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=(change to 310016)
back out and SAVE
REBOOT TWICE!!!!!!!!
11. now go into you es file explorer again this time to system
12. select etc
13. scroll down to a file called apns-conf.xml
delete it!
download this one and edit it with your phone number with notepad+ on your computer
edit the second one, not the value 45
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqixefjs829t7jg/apns-conf.xml
put the file on your sd card and copy it to your system/etc folder
REBOOT TWICE!!!
16. using the voice dialer say "open apn"
17. delete the one you see
18. select reset to default
now you should see 2 apns and a little circle beside both
click the circle beside "cricket"
REBOOT TWICE AND WAIT FOR THE SYSTEM TO CATCH UP
download this mms.apk (this is not mine.. i found it for the evo 4g somewhere)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/iq42wk65ifolv8u/Mms.apk
using es file explorer, delete your old mms.apk under system/apps
remember, you have to mount es as root rw every time you reboot
roboot and move the new mms.apk to the system/apps and install
next reboot
go back into es file and (set root rw again)move to the new mms.apk.
long press it and chose permissions.
set your permissions like the screenshot in at the bottom
this has been proven on my evo3d
NOTE. if you are a flashaholic, you will store the mms.apk and the apns-config.xml on your sd card so you can do this with every flash
if this helped you, press the thanks button please!!!
I use cricket and I have never changed the build.prop to get mms working. I change the apn and if it is a jellybean rom the mms.apk.
do you know how to fix mms on htc evo 3d with virgin mobile?

why the hell hasn't more people been to directed to this thread with unbeatable mms problems with cricket just changing apn settings DOES NOT WORK for alot of cricket users.
Edit: guess i shoulda seen that it was done on a evo3d as it didn't work for my evo 4g i shoulda known when two lines were missing from the build prop. as soon as i got to the voice dialer with the apns there were no apns listed and hitting reset to default brough nothing. back to the battery sucking no blue tooth everything cricket rom. Ive tried litterally hundreds of roms and mustve edited apns 1000 times and still cant get mms to work except for one rom.
The mms.apk was found on a evo 4g site somewhere. Maybe there is something else. Or maybe it was a 4g LTE. I don't remember now, but I know it will not work on stock versions of sprint ROMs. I tried.....

Here is the solution :
Tools Needed:
1. Hex Editor
2. Root Explorer
Steps to restore:
1. Using root explorer locate the /efs/imei/ folder. In that folder there should be a file called keystr. In my case the file was missing which is why the lock screen was missing and was causing my problems.
2. using root explorer create a new file called keystr
3. also in root explorer open the file keystr in text editor and type ON
4. Save the file and then set rw permission for the keystr file. Set 644 permission as rw-,r--,r--.
5. now go into hex editor and locate the /efs/imei/keystr file.
6. using hex editor the first two values in green should be 4f and 4e. all others should be 00.
6. make sure you save the file.
7. reboot.
Hope this helps you..if it does then dont forget to hit the thanks button :thumbup:

Disable the Camera's annoying Shutter Sound on your Verizon Galaxy S4 with NC5 KitKat:
I found some inspiration here.
This requires you understand how to edit files on your /system partition which is normally read-only. So, you'll have to know how to mount /system with "rw" permissions. If this makes no sense to you, then this mod isn't for you.
Enable RW on /system in your favorite root explorer. I used ES File Explorer (so, with that you click the upper left icon, scroll down to "Root Explorer" and make sure it is "ON". Then, press on the "Root Explorer" words themselves to the left of the "ON" button, press on Mount R/W and go turn on RW for /system in there.) If you don't do this, don't bother with the rest of the steps.
Now you can navigate to: /system/csc/
Open: feature.xml
Edit it. (I used ES File Explorer's built in editor, which you have to put into edit mode.)
Scroll down to the <!-- Camera --> section, maybe 1/5th of the way down.
Find where it says:
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Change the false to: true
It'll look like this when you're done:
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Reboot. You should be good to go.
(Personally, I went further. I renamed the camera related audio files from /system/media/audio/ui/, I booted into SafeStrap Recovery and wiped the Dalvik cache and the main cache. Probably a little overkill, but I really hate that shutter sound. I don't want it.)
Now, I have a "Shutter sound" option buried in the camera's normal settings. (Open camera, click the gear icon, click the gear icon again, and if you still have a gear icon tab, you need to go to that gear icon tab and scroll down. The "Shutter sound" option is the second to last entry and you can turn it off. Yay!
If this helped you, click Thanks.
Thanks for your guide works great on my Note 3.

not working on samsung neo I9301
Hi,
didn't work with Samsung Galaxy Neo I9301, stock rom I9301IXXUANF2 4.4.2. It hasn't a feature.xml in system/csc and adding the parameter in others.xml has no effect
other ways to disable the shutter sound over the kamera gear options ?
regards,
Frank
The only thing I could think of would be to pull system through add and search all the files on your computer for files that contain the term shutter to see if there is an equivalent.
