Hi
when you said hard reset you mean factory reset. right?
Do you have a stock or custom rom? which one?
Did you try to uninstall the app from settings? if so and is still giving you the error i would suggest to flash "no wipe" the custom rom again or flash Odin your stock rom again with your home_csc file so you do not lose any info or if you factory reset it just use CSC file and completly wipe and clean your phone
must likely there are orphan files around the system file, after everything is ok ...flash your app again

There is no way any of the old app should be left behind after a full factory reset, it wipes that partition
Flash with ODIN again, but use CSC this time, not HOME_CSC

does not make sense ( no pond intended) factory rest + odin flashing ( even with home_csc) should had taken care of any issues on the system partition and data partition.....
as said before flash again using CSC file during odin flashing

No more network with every usim

Hello guys!
I got a Samsung GT-I5800 for few months but seems I have a big problem from some days actually.
I was using it when I suddenly lost the network coverage. Reboot, factory recovery, tried other carrier usims however it did not start to work again.
It doesn't work nor with automatic and manual network choice nor with enabled and disabled packed data whereas, if I try to send a message or make a call, an error popup appears saying "Data network not available".
I have never performed a root flash or something else so it is always been original factory.
here some info:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband versions I5800XXJP4
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number FROYO.XWJPI
I'm very glad if someone can help me to solve this awful problem given that the device is unusable
Try to add APN(search in the Internet for it) to your phone(Wireless and Network>Mobile networks>APN)
I already know what it is and it is configured (for my Internet plan)...
the real problem is that it cannot take the network signal anymore...there is a blue symbol like a circle with a line instead of normal signal bars

Oh my god. How ones can lost the IMEI?!!
Btw the IMEI on the phone is equal to one on the box.
....and now! If it is this the case, what about the solution?

Check your IMEI by *#06#. If it is all zeros then it is corrupted. If it's old one then it is fine
You can try disabling then enabling flight mode. Wiping data or dalvik cache. Good Luck!
PS: Backup your efs folder to PC using Root exlorer. It contains IMEI and must NOT be deleted. Just for safety advice!

thank you so much for the support
anyway the imei was one of the first checks, it's the correct and old one.
what do you mean with wipe data and dalvik cache? isn't it the same of a factory restore? (factory restored lots of time but nothing happens)
Did you tried zerofill? You can easily find by searching this forum.
Also have you tried putting the SIM in other mobiles? Do they work?
BTW, I know that feel bro. I know the feel to live without calling/sms for few days

of course every SIMs work in other mobiles. It isn't a problem about how I feel and so on. It stopped to work and bye bye no more mobile phone just a paperweight...
I had a search about zerofill. is it useful to delete everything, right? I didn't get how flash it and re-flash the original firmware...by kies?
You'll need ODIN for that to flash the ROM. [Make sure you read instructions]
It will wipe all phone data so take backup from Titanium backup first.

It doesn't matter the phone is empty due to several factory restores in order to try to solve the situation
Ok, thank you guy, I'll try to search some instructions. I'll give a feedback here...hoping it s gonna be positive
p.s. I found a zerofill G3.tar on this forum. Is it good for my galaxy GT-I5800?
Yes, It wipes everything in phone memory. All the previous traces. It might solve your problem.
PS: Or Flash any other firmware. It always works.

last 2 questions
so, zerofill to erase EVERYthing and the I have to download my original ROM to flash it?
the zerofill tar contains 3 files .rfs: cache, datafs and factoryfs. Do i have to flash these by odin? sorry guy but i don't find any tutorial about odin and zerofill
It looks you have never flashed a ROM in ODIN. In that case I would say forget zerofill and just flash a firmware you want. Because you'll need to flash a ROM after flashing zerofill too. I recommend Custom ROM as it is fast and more features, it will void your warranty though. But you can always flash stock ROM to get your warranty back.
If you want to go Stock, then you can find stock ROM at samfirmware.com. Download anyone from there. Post here when you finish downloading. I'll post the instructions.

[Q] [HELP] cyanogen 10 reroot gone wrong on galaxy s blaze

I just installed the cyanogen 10 mod to my blaze and tried it. i went to this file manager that told me to reroot my phone so that I may be able to use it better. I went to odin to reroot it again but i accidentally used the original blaze.pit file on it and when it rebooted it showed me the original samsung starter instead of the cyanogen mod starter. That wasn't the problem, the problem was it never went in to the phones home screen or apps. Instead it continues to show the samsung logo and the flying android over and over again. I tried using the SGH-T769-hitsquad tar file to fix it (i need to mention that i bricked it once before and used this tar file to fix it) but it keeps taking me to the samsung logo. I can't even try to factory restore it because it just starts acting strange when I go to the menu. I can still go into download mode, i've gone searching for a file or anything to help me fix it but i can't find anything. Please, any suggestions?!
Here's a link to stock Tmo Blaze tar's from GB to ICS. ICS is the UVLH5 file. I suggest download that one.. then flash that file through odin.. dont include a Blaze pit file. just PDA file which is the one you'll download.
EDIT:
They're the ones ontop of the page that says Firmwares for SGH-T769 - USA (T-Mobile)
Let me know if it works for you.

[Q] Corupted system app. Please HELP!

Hy. My name is Steven. Yesterday i bought an Lg L Fino d290. I rooted it with purpledrake and i installed Titanium Backup. I restored some backups from my old phone (an Chinese one : Colorovo City Tone Vision). I restored Contact storage, Phone storage and some other apps. After I rebooted the phone an error pops up "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped". I tapped on "ok" and imediately it apeared again. I pressed ok again and still apeared again and again. I freaked out and i realised what I've done.. Then i delelted all app chache and rebooted the phone. Nthing changed. I entered in stock recovery mode ( i can't install cwm on my phone) and i whiped all data and cache. I rebooted the phone and nothing changed. The error dialogue is still there. I tryed to install Titanium Backup again to see what i can do but it didn't work because the error message poped up contiously. Even if i install the app from Magazine Play or from an apk file it doesn;t work. i have adb connection but not many commands are working. for example install.. I don't know what to do.. the phone keep showing me the error with and without the sim card. I can open the phone app and the contacts but i can't open the message app. Please help me. What shoul I do? I knnow i dit something wrong.. Excuse my bad english
Hello.
I don't know exactly what the problem is, but it seems as you states, that something is corrupted. Therefor i think it's better that you try to do a full restore with the LG software and reinstalling it. Try this link: http://www.downloads.techdiscussion.in/smartphones/lg-l-fino-pc-suite-and-usb-driver/.
yes, lvg2800 bro is right. u have to flash stock rom via pc.
Don't ever restore system data from one phone to another or one rom to another. They each handle this type of stuff differently. What happened is that when you restored you phone and contact data it used a different set up and corrupted your new device setup. Your gonna have to wipe the device now and start over. Lesson learned

Hello, I had sent you a message to try and help as much as I could but you opened a thread so I'll help you on here.
First. Double check all twrp folders using a file Explorer. Some roms when flashed through twrp automatically back up your efs partition.
Second. If the folders are blank then we'll proceed to try other methods of fixing your imei.
I assume since you went from having a blank imei to that weird number you tried one of the methods you found through Google.
There are ways to manually reenter your imei if the methods found on Google fail. Follow the instruction in the site below (I highly suggest using the terminal emulator method) and report back here. Your imei can be found on your Sim card or the bigger card your Sim came in.

You can try stock flashing, rebuilding an EFS partition somehow (probably impossible) or repair shop, but any talk of anything illegal and the moderators will take action on your account.
Thanks.
Have you tried searching for a Galaxy s6 efs repair script?
If nothing has worked you definitely need to go with a repair shop. Either a third party repair or try to warranty replace your phone through Samsung. If you go the Samsung route Odin flash 100% stock firmware then send it in to them and see what they say
yeh i boght new s6 edge lolllllll bbut i i learned to back up

Wanting to Flash my Note 20 Ultra and I don't know where to start...

I've never flashed a cellphone and I don't even know if I can flash this one. I bought the phone through and when I was still with Sprint. I was told flashing it might be tricky if not impossible since I bought it through a carrier and was also told to come here and ask. So that's what I am doing. Thanks for any help!
Even you haven't said what you want to flash and why (mean what you want to achieve with flashing)

As above, what do you want to achieve by flashing it, and what do you want to flash to it?

I'm sorry. It was a little late at night and I was trying to put the child down for sleep and was in a hurry. But I'm looking to just flash a stock ROM to get the vendors (Sprint) pre-installed apps off the phone. So I'm not looking to do anything to fancy.
Try flashing non vendor specific rom. But before that simply keep copy of rom which is installed currently, so in case something went wrong, you can restore it.
You can download stock firmware with friza or Sam firmware tool (little search over xda you can find it)
Okay, so I used Frija to get the file and now I'm using Odin to flash it. I have the BL, Ap, Cp, CSC, and USERDATA files. Only issue I have is I have two CSC files and I'm not sure which one to use? One is called HOME_CSC_OMC_OYN_N986UOYN1DUB5_CL20936746_QB38027387_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 and the other is CSC_OMC_OYN_N986UOYN1DUB5_CL20936746_QB38027387_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5. I want to say it's the second one I mentioned but I want to make sure.
Home_CSC* won't delete your data while CSC_* will do.

What data is the Home file saving? Also what's the USERDATA file?
All other data that you have addled other than factory set.
Some apps install as non system, that known as userdata
Okay, Odin said it passed and my phone restarted to a Android Recovery section giving me a ton of options and now I'm nervous... The options are.
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe data/factory rest
Wipe cache partition
Mount /system
View recovery logs
Run graphics test
Run locale test
Power off
Repair apps
Do I just want to reboot it?
Okay so I restarted it and the phone works, but everything is still the same. If I do a factory restore will that remove Sprint's apps? Or should I redo the process without adding the CSC and USERDATA files?
Sorry for bumping this but does anybody know the answer to my question?

From what I remember once you flash an unlocked firmware (ie. Not carrier branded) you need to factory reset to remove the carrier stuff from the old firmware
But don't quote me on it, just what I remember reading from others threads, I've not had to try it myself

Sounds good. I'll try it when I get home later and am more prepared and report back. Thanks for the help so far everyone!

You can kill 2 birds by using CSC instead of HOME_CSC when you flash the firmware, that initiates a factory reset after the flash (ie. Clean install)

Actually I might just do that then tonight.
Unfortunately, it didn't work... Not sure if I did something wrong but Sprint's app's are still on there.

Which ROM you have downloaded?
If you are flashing same sprint then it will always remain there. Make sure you are flashing unbranded firmware.
