Hello,
I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus G901F, so I'm waiting for it.
I wondered if there is a way to do a complete backup of it?
As I read that CMW Recovery was not 100% fiable, there is another way? maybe with adb? Or maybe it works with standard recovery ?
And also a way to save my IMEI?
I asked because maybe I will install Cerberus and try to send me an sms which wipe all to test if it's work well.
Thanks

I am new with my Galaxy Tab and with all this and...
1. I was wondering if this would be the best way to SIM UNLOCK and/or VOICE CALLS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876178&highlight=unlock+sim
2. Does rooting create lag? Do I need to root with the lag-fix? Or can I just apply the lag-fix after rooting?
3. If a galaxy tab is rooted, is it possible to unrooted by deleting all and returning everything to factory reset?
4. What does flash and reflash means? What is it for?
5. What are ROMs for?
6. What are boots?
7. Whatever you do to your Galaxy Tab (Flash,ROM,VOICE,ROOT,etc) is it possible to factory reset it and put it back to normal how you bought it?
Thanks in advance!
Btw, is a T-mobile tab
Hello,
I have an issue.
First of all I unlock my Galaxy S4 with a code bought on Sim Unlocker.
I can go to internet, receive message text but when i want to call someone the galaxy S4 bug, the screen doesn't answer and the menu bar "flash" I have to wait during 20-30 seconds before to return on my home screen. In add the wifi doesn't work anymore.
My phone is not rooted and my firmware is the official "ORANGE".
Please, HELP. :crying:

Hi all, I am a first time poster
I own a galaxy S3 (GT I9300)
first problem...
i flashed a rom called CrDroid and it wiped my EFS and IMEI so i couldnt make or receive sms or calls and got a generic 0049 IMEI
2..
Upon trying to fix the issue, i tried to flash CWM recovery touch and my touchscreen stopped working. so, its a software issue, not hardware
i have tried flashing many different roms, kernels etc but nothing will fix my problems.
is there someone who can assist me in fixing my problems? (flash touchscreen drivers and restore EFS data [in that order])
or
Can someone give me information on how to reflash EVERYTHING on my phone including system and root (and any other) partitions?
i am NOT interested in sending my phone back to samsung or to a repair centre
PLEASE HELP!

thank you so much sir but i can't find the solution to my problem
my touchscreen was not working after i flash by wrong recovery n7100

You'll need a new touchscreen, nothing you can do with software as you've blown the controller.
Hello,
I have this problem with my phone and i don't know how to fix it, the IMEI is Null and when i enter "*#0011#" the ServiceMode is Blank !!
I tried to use GS5_EFS_Backup but it doesn't work ! Also the phoe get hot a lot, and when i put it in charge the battery level of charge is stuck in 10% always.
My phone is rooted.
Help me Please.
Thank you
Sounds like you wiped your EFS partition without backing it up first
Phone is dead if that is the case
Some people have had success backing up another S5 EFS, then restoring it to the dead phone
Otherwise, take it to a repair shop, next time backup before messing about

Thank you Detection for your answer. So where can i find another S5 EFS, and how can i restore it.
Help me Please because i tried already to take it to a repair shop but they don't know how to fix it, that's why I wanna try to repair it myself, and i think its one of the repair shops who wiped the EFS partition without making a backup (because i give to 3 repair shops and they don't know how to fix it).
You'll need another S5, no-one here will give you their EFS backup as it is specific to their S5
A trusting friend / family member or an old 2nd hand S5 if you can find one, is your only choice

There is no other solution like flashing the PIT file using Odin and reinstate the stock rom or any other solution !
Nope, not if you've deleted the EFS partition - that contains the IMEI and Radios
Ok thank you, ill try to contact samsung after sales service.
Hi everybody,
I have same issue:
I needed to update SU-binaries and tapped accidentally on CWM/TWRP-Mode instead of normal. After this IMEI is null, Service Mode blank, sudden reboots and unable to install any Apps (always saying no free memory). uninstalling App causes reboot.
I have efs backup made with (PhilZ Touch) CWM, but I'm not able to fix the problem with it.
What I tried:
flashing Stock ROM + updating Bootloader in Odin
this Guide (except Samsung Tool and Terminal Emulator steps, as I can't install any App)
CWM script
I really don't know what else I can do. Does anybody have some other ideas?
Also backing up is not possible, now. EFS Professional says specified PIT file does not exist, even when I choose all partitions.
FIXED. Possible solution.
Fixed. Went to a shop to repair IMEI/EFS.
It seems there is something called "IMEI NV Generator", this should also do the magic and would have saved me some money.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to recover some text messages on my S5? I tried to root the phone a bunch of times unsuccessfully before finding out that Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 can't be rooted. I tried a couple of recovery software options (i.e. Mobikin Dr) but none of them work effectively as the phone hasn't been rooted. I know that I can bump down to Lollipop and then root and try to recover them but I am worried that would further eradicate chances of getting the texts recovered as I'd have to wipe the phone to reinstall Lollipop.
Can anyone in the know please advise what my best options are?
Thank you
they are stored in the /data partition. you will need a special no-wipe odin package to downgrade to lollipop, and root then take off the files. The problem: I think that MIGHT put you in a bootloop without factory resetting - which would wipe your SMS messages.
Maybe this app could be of some importance?

That's an app for making and restoring messages. What he needs is a recovery app or program. I've used Disk Digger and it has done great....even after I've "wiped" my system, it dug deep and got what I needed....
