Hello,
I am exactly not sure how, but right now, I am stuck at Factory Mode. Call, Message, WiFi everything is working.
But there's no lock screen and power menu, it directly reboots phone and there is this yellow overlay of my phone information (attached screenshot). I tried ODIN and flashed the rom, but nothing works. Used my old Nandroid backup. But it's same.
From http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/fixed-exit-factory-mode-t2424015 and http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...10-1-how-exit-factory-mode-into-usermode.html , I tried removing /efs/FactoryApp, but there is no FactoryApp on my efs directory.
Can anyone provide me their efs directory's content? Or any solution, how can I fix this myself?
It's Galaxy Core Duos, i8262.
Problem solved. I just deleted all the content under efs directory. Rebooted my Phone. And God, everything is back to normal.
not working

same problem here
Just browse to ...\efs\FactoryApp with root file manager like Es File Manager, open file named "factorymode" as text with an editor and change state from "OFF" to "ON". On exit save changes, reboot your phone and thats it.
for all those who suffering from that problem ..
i managed to fix it this way ..
1. Extract/Flash Attached file as PDA in Odin ..
2. Root and Check EFS Folder (Now it's not Empty) ..
3. Go to "/efs/FactoryApp/" and open "factorymode" by TEXT Editor ..
4. Change Value "OFF" to "ON" ..
5. Reboot
>>>DONE.
thanks

i had the same promblem with my n7100 and here is how i fixed this efs folder being empty.
1st i reflashed the phone stock firmware then after i rooted phone and installed ES file manager.
2nd NOTE you may be able to see the efs folder but it will be empty unless you enable root access on the ES file manager tool menu.
meanwhile the efs folder will appear as empty but the files will be there. so just have to enable ROOT on the es file manager menu.
thanx

Dear All,
First thankyou so much for the great forum we have here, I am using Huawei Ideos u8150, the fone is network locked so I played around, being a total noob I started with installing sdk, and rooted my fone using z4root, rooting was successful
No when I try to copy a modified build.prop to the systems folder in root explorer, the file is copies but is not visible, also I have deleted the original build.prop & I am afraid to reboot the fone,
can restoring the fone to factory settings solve this ? also how come I copy the file to system folder, it gets copied and I still cant see it ?
I have tried pushing the file using ADB command line but the device refuses to mount (persmission denied)
I would really be thankful to anyone who can guide a noob like me, if you dont this forum has enough reasons to love it already,
cheers !

Moderators if by any chance I have placed this query in the wrong part of forum, please let me know in which part I should raise it, thanks !
In the top right hand corner or left it should be a r/o button. If you push that to r/w which is read/write you will be able to copy the bp correctly. Don't forget to mount as r/o which is read only before you exit RE. Then reboot. If you made a backup which you should have done before modding the bp you will be ok to reboot. If anything goes wrong just do a restore. Also you can Redownload the current rom your on to your cpu. Then extract it to a folder on your desktop. Then browse threw all the folders untill you see the stock build prop. Copy&paste it to your sd and that's your stock build prop. Hope this helps. Good luck

thanks for the kind help, I have tried doing that, I have rooted it, the I click on the r/o button and then I did copy the new built.prop to systems folder, the copying process completes, doesnt report any error but still there is no file visible by the name of built.prop, I just cant find it, is it hidden ? or is it not being copied in the first place ? & thanks I would try to extract the stock built.prop, and copy it to the folder but I will do it as a last option till I dont find something else,
thanks a million for the help, would apprciate if you can point it what I am doing wrong

Did you enable root permissions first?
Download es file Explorer, enable root for it from within its menu, open up the correct sequence of folders and it should be there. It won't show up if you skip that step.
I wouldn't do it from the terminal.

I'm sure snoop has posted this in at least 3-5 threads. It's getting quite redundant as this issue seems to be more of an issue than usual

Hey, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721680
There should be anything except the meta-inf folder and a blank system folder in your zip file. Now in the system folder, place your build.prop file. Dont not touch the meta-inf folder. Then copy this zip to your sd card, reboot to CWM, and then select apply update from zip(via volume and power buttons). Navigate to this zip file and flash it.
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped you!

if you have a custom recovery
download aroma recovery file manager (here https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&r...hp?t=1646108&usg=AOvVaw3IrkRJtoE8dYTO2APQ7bWj)
flash it and copy the file to your sd card
open it in pc and then change the lines back
put it back in the sd card
then again go to file explorer and then replace your build.prop with the new one

dwnld aroma file manager, then flash it with cwm. go to location of build.prop, and since you used root explorer (dats good), rename current build.prop to "build2.prop", den look for "build.prop.bak" and rename it to "build.prop". Now reboot your fone and see if issue esolves
Better u can use twrp [way beta than cwm]
Moreso, dwnld MiracleBox to help with the fix.
Good luck
