Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I too had some problem with last R13 update:
- Contacts in SIM are no longer seen, so they can't be transferred to phone,
- Found WI-FI and mobile network turned off, may airplane mode have been set on by itself?
Now went back to R11
Brightness issue
Hello, loving the ROM so far!
Only thing I dont know how to solve is max brightness after I reboot the phone (I have set mine to minimum).
It gets back to minimum after the screen turns off or after I manually set it off.
I tried factory reset, didnt help.
Thanks for the help!
upgrade new rom
Hi,
last week i installed this version
20140910 Release 12 on my samsung galaxy s plus
followed all steps from the openings post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579431
I used CWM.
My question is with steps should i take if i want to upgrade to
20141011 Release 13 [EOL]?
Thanks a lot
First you have to update TWRP to 2.8.0.0. from there you can flash R13 and reboot.

Installing CM11 rel11, serial disappeared - best way to restore?
Hi folks!
I've upgraded the stock firmware to CM11 rel11 from this thread on a i9001. Now it is on EOL rel13.
By the initial upgrade I assume the serial number turned unknown, so now I am only able to make emergency calls. Until now it didn't make me upset at all, however recently my priorities have changed. (In a nutshell: VOIP telephony was kicking in, thus it would be handy to turn my GPS device a 3G and callback capable... well... phone.)
Before the upgrade operation I followed the recommendation and created a backup of /efs and /persist. Not surprisingly the backed up and current images of these partitions do differ on some bits. However at this point I became a bit confused, and teh internetz didn't answer (yet?) my questions:
- Shall I simply dd the original images back, reboot, and problem is solved? Or doing so I will brick my precious device (being even unable to restore the current state of these partitions) thus lose even navigation?
- Is there any better restore tool around that supports i9001?
- Am I totally off track, and should make some other magic? (Like using some 2013 patch that kicks out S/N check, etc.)
Thank you in advance!
Project dead?
I have tried to download R13 files. All downloads hosted by devhost failed because the files seem to be unavailable. Tested with Chrome and Dolphin on i9300 and i9001.
Can you or someone who has already downloaded the files please provide an additional mirror?
And why is R13 EOL if there is no clue of a newer Version? Have you stopped the development completely or are you preparing for Lollipop?
I have the same problem as PsychoGame
"Hello ADC-Team,
First of all thank you for all your hard work on this device, it's much appreciated.
Second I want to report a small bug which I've encountered and am unable to get past. I followed the next steps in flashing:
I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus.
Rebooted into TWRP 2.8.0.0
Completely wiped the device (Cache, Dalvik Cache, Android Secure, SD-card, System & Data)
After full wipe installed the cm-11.0-20141011-ION-dev_connection_team-release13-ariesve.zip
After flashing CM11 installed GAPPS package
Cleared Cache and Dalvik Cache once more
Rebooted and set-up device
After the device has been set-up I'm unable to use the contacts app for some reason.
I've tried clearing Cache/Dalvik Cache and Fix Permission but this error still persists
Reflashed the CM11 package again but still no luck, the error still persists.
Does anyone have a suggestion, or is anyone also facing this same problem?
Greetings PsychoGame "
I'm unable to open my contacts, i din't have the problem with release 12. Is there a know solution?
Yes I share the same problem, as said in post 21 oct 2014 at 07:30 PM.
I can't use the contacts because they can't be read in the SIM and can't be exported to the thelepone memory.
Tried with wiping, cleaning, etc., but I had to step back to a previous release (R11) very well working.
Looking at the lenght of the files I could see that R11 is 210.888 KB, R12 is 211.708, and R13 is decreased to 189.921.
Something lost

I don't share this. The contacts are properly downloaded from Google and I can access them normally. I can also add contacts and save them!
Edit: were did you save your contacts? If you've saved them on your sim card, I'd suggest an app called 'sim contacts'. I found out I had some very old contacts stored on the sim card! I almost forgot this possibility...

I reinstalled the rom and gabs again in my pc at home and the problem is gone. I have another question I like the english language on my phone because if there is a problem and a solution it is mostly written in english. I live in the Netherlands, i tried language english us but that gave problems with reception. My provider signal (t mobile) disconected sometimes ramdomly. My solution was select english united kingdom instead of Dutch and Nederland. My question about that solution is: Is it possible that i have slighter worse reception than if i select country Netherlands and language dutch of shouldn't that change make any difrent i means of reception signal strenght?
Thanks for the fast response smitharro

I don't think the language settings of your interferes with the signal of your provider. I always use English with Kpn..
Hello folks,
I still am having problems with contacts from SIM.
To make short a long story:
-1-I have my contacts (216) in SIM.
-2-I must have them in SIM because sometimes I have to put SIM in other phones neither Android nor Google.
-3-That means I do not save my contacts in Google Cloud.
-4-CM11 doesn't use SIM directly (R/W), so I used to select all contacts in SIM and transfer to Phone Memory (not in Google Cloud).
-5-I could do that until R11 and R12.
-6-(Note_1 : before an update I perform a total wipe and a factory reset)
-7-Now I installed R13 with the same procedure: factory reset and instal ZIP
-8-The transfer of contacts is not possible because contacts in SIM are no longer visible,
-9-If I install R12, copy contacts to phone, then install R13 on it without erasing nothing (cache, dalvik, reset) then i can see contacts previously transferred under R12.
Note (tried as suggested by smitharro) "sim contacts" from market. It Reads and Writes contacts on SIM, but cannot transfer to Phone, I get this message "operation failure. try again".
My question is: how can I transfer contacts from SIM to phone under R13 as per step -7- and not pass via step -9-?
I may make something wrong, but do not understand what.
Help please
Many Thanks

I tried to copy one of my old contacts from the Sim to the phone with 'Sim contacts'. It works perfect! The contact is visible in in 'contacts' after this operation! It isn't visible when it's only on the Sim card however... Sorry but I'm afraid I can't give you a solution for this, other than just use Android phones...
Hello people,
Thanks smitharro for the test you did with "sim contacts" with R13.
It doesn't work with me; if I try to copy with "sim contacts" (by Needom Studio), it gives me the message "Operation Failure" and stops.
BUT
Then I tried with "sim manager" (by Robotobia) and all was perfect: I could copy from Sim to Phone and from Phone to Sim.
(Info: my sim operator is WIND, memory capacity 64 KB)
I hope this could be useful for other people that might have same problems.

Glad it finally worked out for you! I used the Needom Studio app. That one worked fine for me. Don't know why it didn't work for you. Most important: your problem is (somewhat) solved, although it's just a workaround. The Rom still doesn't read the sim-contacts 'by itself'. For me, personally, that's not an issue. Hope the rom will be made 'perfect' before it reaches it's real EOL... On the other hand, nothing in life is absolutely perfect! remember: this rom is brought to us absolutely with no charge by people who volunteer to do this development, just because they like doing this.
Still confused
Hi again
I'm still confused, whether it is safe to dd my saved partitions back to restore my serial number. (Still not 100% sure if these partitions are bound to a particular firmware revision, e.g. only usable as a source to harverst my serial from, not to restore anything; and neither 100% sure if dd is the best tool to rewrite them.)
Having no - even a short - answer means I am asking something pretty obvious? By my opinion if it were obvious, google had answered it already - but it didn't.
Any answers appreciated.

First of all, your question is not fully clear to me. What doe you mean by serial number? You're IMEI number? If you've lost that, your phone is nothing more than a small tablet. This is a unique number to identify your phone on the provider's network. So you'll have to restore the backup!
The serial number in my phone however is 'unknown' in the rom. But the rom works fine! There's no need to have that for the use of this phone. I don't know where it was stored in the original rom, but be very careful with messing with the 'EFS' partition!
Thank you for your reply!
My IMEI number remained well, however I learned that both IMEI and serial (S/N) is needed to have a phone (e.g. to connect to carrier) instead of having a tablet.
For example here is said: "IMEI is showing now but still no calls and sms. I also noticed that the serial number is not the same as the one written at the back of the phone. I have read that restoring EFS solves this problem".
There is also some magic ("azira patch") to S3 that states the same. It operates by bypassing serial check, but since it is old (2013) and originally for S3, I'd rather stuck restoring my /efs partition.
Backing up /efs is written down everywhere. Restoring it... well. Mostly external tools are mentioned, that don't support i9001.
Even further, suppose restoring /efs and /persist is the solution for my problem, I think I know how to do that. At least by dd. What I don't know is that the structure of these partitions is fix or may change between Android versions. And of course: if I rewrite them to original, will my device boot again?
Considering these, any idea if I'm off track, or not?

I never touched my /efs partition nor will I ever! My phone is running fine without the serial number displaying in the rom! I can make phone calls, send text messages and I have mobile data! So you really don't have to restore the serial number. Possibly it's still there and still used by the provider, but is the settings app simply not reading it... Sorry I can't help you more. I'm not a developer, just a user...

Hi guys,
I have just flashed MIUI and my god it looks good
I do have a few problems, I can not pick up any networks (I'm on vodafone uk). When I try to find Network Settings I get: "Call Settings Error Network or Sim card Error."
I hope it is an easy fix I have tried leaving the phone for a few minuets which hasn't helped and I have tried rebooting the phone. When I reboot the phone it goes back I think factory settings as it asks for my Google account information plus Date format.
I used the following guide to install MIUI:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-miui-rom
If you think I have a better chance to get this solved on another thread / forum section let me know and I will re-post it
Thanks.
well ideally this thread would be better off under the 'MIUI general, or the MIUI development' but considering you already posted dont worry
anyway it sounds like your IMEI is corrupted, have you checked this by dialing *#06# ??
if its all 0's or a complete different IMEI to is was before hand, just apply the efs backup you should of made before starting the flash.
Well my IMEI is fine, well it gives me a number which I think is correct But I didn't apply a efs back up not sure what that is.
If I want to reinstall MIUI would I need to flash back to 2.2 then flash to MIUI since they keep saying you need to be on 2.2 before you begin the flash.
I was on Darky's 2.2 before I flashed just fancied the change
no, you are on MIUI now right ? so just reflash the ROM again, and make sure you are on the latest kernel too.
if that dont work, try formatting cache / data / datadata / system / dalvik cache, then again, reflash the ROM
Yes I am currently on MIUI.
I used the following:
speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar
cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar
galaxys-efsbackup.zip
MIUI-RC7-1.4.29.zip
Maybe some of these files conflict with the newer version of MIUI?
they shouldnt conflict.
did you try the steps in my last post ? if so how are things now ?
Cheers for your help. I flashed it back to 2.2 stock then went to MIUI seems to be working now, strange but I am happy
Hi guys,
I already have some experience in changing ROM, and so on.
Recently, I gave up the experimental ROMs that have always worked well for back to cyanogem stable 7.2.
The first week was very good, but in one afternoon, for no apparent reason, my signal disappeared. The smartphone settings showed me that my number was +0000000000, the imei was shown correctly, but for some reason imei_sv was unknown. Put other roms, but the problem persisted. So I decided to go back to the stock ROM, I lost my root and CWM. Surprisingly, at first, I could make a call and receive another. But after the excitement, the same problem again.
Sometimes, the settings show my number correctly, others turn to show +000000000 ...
Nevertheless, the display shows me a good sign, and the phone recognizes messages in my mailbox.
* Detail: I can not in any way put CWM. I spent the whole day trying, and absolutely all the methods that the internet gives me do not work.
UPDATE: Finally now I have CWM, but the problems are present.
Rom: European stock v30a - Android 4.0.4
Baseband version: 1035.21_20121130
If someone can help me, would be very grateful!

I did not do this procedure. But I turned it into a brick, and formated all partitions and redid them with a fantastic tool here forum, All-In-One Toolkit -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t = 2020737. This procedure can, by itself, restore a corrupted imei or delete data cal?
If not, how could I do this? And because it is corrupt without any procedure? I was at home and no apparent reason the phone lost signal. At 13:00 he had signal, and at 14:00 had no more.
I considered another possibility: virus in sim card.
This test will only be able to do tomorrow, using a sim card that is not "infected", if that would be the problem.
UPDATE: Today I bought a new sim card and tested it with the stock rom newly formatted. I had the same problem, but strangely, the first few minutes of use, everything works. After a few minutes of use, the signal sim no longer works, and after a few hours, the smartphone connects on a rece wifi, but the signal does not stabilize: connects but does not have internet access.
REALLY DO NOT IDEA HOW TO SOLVE THIS!
I really need help!

You really should try Erase CAL data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087215&highlight=wifi the first Post what you need. If you having problems with restoring your imei then use putty instead of hyperterminal
I did not do this procedure, but deleted all the partitions and redid them, and I believe it made the signal back. Thank you all for the help!
UPDATE: The problem is present again! I restored Imei, erased CAL data, change billions of basebands and no sucess. If I search for networks, it´s fix, but only any minuts, and the problem returns again. I have sucess for any days, but the sms were frequently lost, and after, my signal losts completly. It´s a possible hardware problem?
I really need professional help of my friends of XDA.

So this is my first time rooting/flashing so I'm not a pro at what I'm doing but I wanted to give it a try
Anyway, so I rooted my S3 Mini with Unified Android Toolkit and backed up apps etc. Then installed CyanogenMod on my phone. Everything is okay except for 2 issues.
1) I haven't got any SIM Contacts, were these deleted when I wiped the phone and now I can't do anything about it?
2) I see 'No Service' on my phone when I bring the toolbar down from the top of the screen. See this is weird because I have service and am using the internet, but I don't actually have a registered network. I went to network providers, scanned and tapped my network, but even then, there was no change. I am running a UK S3 Mini on baseband ...XXAMJ2 and Installed Jellybean 4.1.2 (CyanogenMod 10) 20130727 from Maclaw'NovaFusion
When I rooted with the Toolkit, I chose the option [Up to ALL7] if that makes any difference?
Is there any way I can see which network I'm running because I'm confused and was gonna just flash the stock rom and unroot...
Thank you
P.S Also just checked in About Phone and my Network/Service Status comes up there, and my mobile data works, but it still says No Service when I bring the top toolbar down?!

For the SIM contacts: Try to pop in you SIM to an old phone and check if the contacts are still there, if yes good, if no... my condolences.
I strongly recommend to switch to CM11, it's working just fine, with no major bugs or problems. Well, i'm using it and i'm very picky when it comes to bugs and other issues.
The point is, you have to re-flash you phone anyway and along the way, you can update to a better android version.

With switching to CM11... I'm currently on 10 because my S3 was running 4.1.2 originally, if I were to flash the 4.4.2 rom, would it work and be compatible? Sorry if it seems like a basic question, I'm not really that knowledgeable about this
EDIT: Just did this, worked wonders! Thank you!
Hello everyone,
As the title says I have a problem on my S3 (i9305).
First of all I want to know that it has been dropped or anything,
I put the official version 4.1.2 (the DBT for Germany was the latest then) instead of 4.0.4, rooted + busybox + modem network Vodafone Romania (XXBLL5) and it worked just fine until yesterday.
I arrived at work I checked my mail via wifi network, I disconnected I put on charger and after an hour I removed to make some mail and then give it to initialize wifi stupor show he wants to start and stop and did not want in any way to start a (looks like starts and stops).
Good now seeing that I got it and I somewhat empirically and did the following things:
-clear cache, wipe Dalvik, reset permisions - still did not work
-restore the Nandroid for wifi - did not work
I managed to got mad and threw factory reset - still not working height
-continuing with nervousness I flashed phone about 4 times with different versions 4.1.2 and version 4.3 but bootloader of 4.1.2-
Normally he did not want none and some gave the "camera failed" error.
All versions have been flashed after wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset so I say something to remain excluded from one another.
Now I'm on a Vodafone version 4.1.2 on sammobile after I haunted a bit on the internet I saw that its more people with this problem and someone had an alternative after you rename the file "wpa_suplicant.conf" in root / data / misc / wifi.
I did this and go but it is something temporary peak for once stop or restart your wifi is not working and another thing
mobile internet does not work without you come in APN and reset its there.
Sorry I did read both but I do not understand the phenomenon and to solve it because there can not be a hardware problem but rather a problem or write permission on the root folder.
And now comes the question: is there a solution to my problem or a way to see if some parts are protected to rewrite or corrupt?
Sorry for my english i use google translate.
Hello Everyone...
Posting here first rather than in the "Update Failure" thread because I'm not so sure I have a "failure" with the update....just an issue after the udpate.
I have 2 cloned HTC M9 phones. I say "cloned" as they are exactly the same make, model, ROM, etc (one business, one personal phone). They have the following information if needed:
Sprint HTC M9
SuperSU Free v2.65
Custom ROM ViperOneM9 3.5.0 with no custom kernal
Android 5.1
HTC Sense 7.0
Kernal (standard) 3.10.49-perf-g26c593c

SMP PREEMPT
I updated some apps this as I normally do through Google Play. A little while afterward I was prompted to update the SU Binary. I did so on one of my phones. I hit the TWRP option (on the right side of the prompt screen), nothing happened, phone did not reset so I rebooted into recovery. The update ran automatically and the phone rebooted.
I noticed two issues (perhaps there are more). The huge problem is that I cannot make OUTGOING calls. I use a custom dialer PixelPhone Pro. I click on a contact to dial and nothing happens. I type in number to dial, hit the green "send" button to make the call, nothing happens.
I also tried the stock Phone app....same thing, cannot dial out.
I attempted to update the Profile and PRL for the phone, however, as that appears to need to make a "special call" that function is not working either
The other problem I noticed is with an app I have called Quick Settings. The app is always accessible through the pull-down notifications on the phone. Although the app is still installed and functional, it no longer appears in the pull-down notifications. I tried to reset the option to show it there (turning the option off and back on) and it will not show up despite the proper setting chosen.
I still have full root access as I tried a couple root apps (such as Titanium Pro) and have full root access.
I have been prompted on my other phone to update the SU Binary and I am concerned with doing so. Any idea why this is happening and how I can troubleshoot and fit my outgoing call issue??
THANK YOU all very much!!

**UPDATE**
Still problems....
Right after I first updated the binary the "only" problem was that I could not make calls which I could use the other functions of the phone. I rebooted the phone and I cannot reach any function of the phone because I constantly get the message "...the process com.android.phone has stopped" obviously related to the previous problems.
I dirty-flashed the ROM...that did no help. I even tried to flash an older SuperSU version (I don't know what that would have done....I'm running on HOPE now ) and that didn't help. Re-dirty-flashed the ROM a second time. Again that didn't help.
I flashed an old backup and THAT WORKED fine. Problem is that the backup is 6 months old. I could quit and totally clean/wipe/install the ROM and start again from scratch but I reeeeeeallly don't have time for that at the moment.
Is there ANY way I can simply get my com.android.phone process back?? Why did all this happen in the first place??
ANY help is greatly appreciated!! THANK YOU!!!
