Carrier is just showing numbers on a AOSP rom I installed. I understand this is completely stripped but I was wondering how to setup the carrier name properly instead. I read that spn-conf.xml in /system/etc/ is what I should edit but there was no file so I created one and pushed it to the device with adb rebooted the device but no luck. Anyone know how to set this up? Thanks
maybe you lost the imei?
No phone works fine.. I know there is suppose to be a file that will read the numbers then display the carrier name. Before it use to be spn-conf.xml and you would setup the file as follows;
<spnOverride
numeric="302320" spn="Mobilicity"/>
</spnOverrides>
then push it to /system/etc and it would overwrite the file however in the new 2.3.5 this file is not present and was wondering if anyone with knowledge knows this. I would post in development but that is for projects and not for troubleshooting or chatting.
Thanks
Did you find a fix for this? I just installed CyanogenMOD 7.1 and am seeing these numbers as well (using Mobilicity on my Vibrant).
Hey, I am now very much fed up with this Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 Phone.
A few days ago I was trying to unlock my phone using simlock code *#0011#. That did NOT work! I tried other alternative methods to get even the sim card connect like connect to network. I used DFS CDMA tool to change my IMEI number but still nothing.
Then I found out about the nv_data.bin file. I rooted my phone, copied the "efs" folder using root browser not with command or anything I just copied it into my phone then to my computer. I then used EFS Pro tool //(I wasn't able to backup the efs folder before with this software)// to format the efs folder, then I copied the efs folder from the phone's other location and change the keystr to ON and factorymode to ON to get back my power menu and take out the yellow bar from comming. After that I checked that my baseband is saying unknown and IMEI is unknown. When I type *#06# to get the IMEI, it says "MEID" as title of the box and nothing else not even zeros. Also I do have only one file called maps_code.dat file in the /efs/imei folder. i mentioned this because I've read others' posts that they have maps_code.dat, keystr, and bt.txt files.
So Can anyone here PLEASE HELP ME!!! WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!
I have tried lots of different methods, none worked for me to restore the IMEI number I even tried to look into the nv_dat.bin fole using hex editor, but it says "ffff" and on the other side dots thats it. i looked at others, they had numbers and letters into them. However mine doesnt have any thing except "fff..." i can send all the pics you need to see.
THANKS!!!
Is there any Dongle/Box to repair the phone???
So first and foremost,im no expert with this,but here are my suggestions from what ive been reading.
The nv_data files are generated by the android os.
So this assumes you have no backup of the "/efs" folder.
Get ODIN,and download the stock MF9 tar file,i believe theres a listing for the files somewhere in the development thread.
Rooted or deodexed,you choose.
From what ive gathered,youre gunna need to reflash(with Odin) the stock firmware,and it "should" regenerate those files.
The Stock MF9 TAR file should be about 1.4 GB in size and ~2.x GB after extracted.if youre unfamiliar with how to use Odin,let me know ill walk you through it.
Before following through with all this,BE SURE to backup music,Pictures Etc,to your EXTERNAL SD card or better yet your PC.ODIN will reflash EVERYTHING.including your internal sd,so if you have anything there youre gunna want to back that up too.
In the meanwhile,
Read this.its for an S2,but the same concept applies.

the /efs folder on our Sprint GS4 has almost nothing to do with our actual EFS where the MEID/IMEI etc is stored. You should not have messed with these files.
I would first try to put the phone into download mode and flash a full stock tar. mdc, mdl, mf9.. doesnt matter. if you still have no signal after that... i would then try to do a ##786# > reset (you will need spc/msl).
keep us posted on your progress.
yep best to get a S4 tar file flash with Odin
easily found here

see if this works first.

No, not yet.
any luck with solving this issue??????
Within 24 hours of downloading a file it is deleted from my Download Folder.
I have tried every type of file and they keep being deleted from the Download Folder.
Anybody know why this happens and is there a way to turn this off?
Thanks
I take it you're on stock ROM? I used it for all of an hour before I went into flashaholic mode, so I'm not too sure.
I do know the stock ROM has a built in file manager though. Could you try moving your downloaded files into different folders? I know it's not really a fix, but it might be a convenient work around... And it'll promote keeping a clean file system for various types of files you download.

I am rooted but on the stock Odex base but use Solid Explorer as my File Manager.
As far as work around goes I have to move the files out of the Download Folder otherwise they are deleted.
First off, HI ALL. Awesome community!! OK, so I am having the same can't write to SD issue as everyone else. I am rooted with TowelRoot and on KK 4.4.2. I have installed a few of the different "SD FIX" apps and upon looking at the platform.xml file the proper strings are there but I still cant write to or delete from EXT-SD. I have tried ES File Explorer and Root Explorer ( Donate vrs). Another thing that I noticed is that all the tutorials I have read say that there needs to be a space between the " /> at the end. My platform.xml doesnt have that, in fact, none of the strings have the space between the " and />. I tried to do it manually and got the massive force close of a lot of apps. Reverting back to the original didnt help. I had to do a factory reset. That stopped the FC issue but the paltform.xml file is the same with the added string and the nonexistant spaces. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
what filesystem do you have on your card?
Either he has exFAT or FAT32. Can you tell us your exact device model? What ROM are you on?
Thanks for the reply. Model number is N900V and I'm on stock Rom rooted.
Considering that your platform.xml file is still stock, you might want to try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
This app will automatically detect whether you need the fix or not. If you do need it, it'll do it for you.

I DL and ran app. Says not needed. Does anyone have the original file so I can start this process over? Or will that bork something? I'm a noob but I am a little tech savy. One anomaly that doesn't make sense to me is that in my xml file, none of the strings have a space between the " and />. Does that make a difference? I'm confused. lol

Does it make a difference? ...make a backup of your platform.xml. Then put space in between " and >, save and reboot.

The whole xml is like that with no spaces. I originally used an SDFix app to do it. Never looked at it. It worked for a brief time then either I rebooted or something and it stopped. I added the space manually but noticed none of the strings had a space. Are they all supposed to have them or just to added/modified string? I did factory reset because I was getting the FC issue but that didn't reset the xml. Does anyone have the original so I can start the process over?
Try this. It already has the fix implemented. If everything else fails, you can still flash a stock rom and use the SD Fix app I posted before.

OK. I renamed the file to paltform.xml and renamed mine to bak. Moved it to the folder and did a reboot. So far so good, no FC. Upon using Root Explorer I still get the failed operation toast when trying to delete a file from EXT SD. If noone else has an idea I guess I will just have to flash a rom and try that. I'm going to del and reinstall Root Explorer and see if that does anything. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for all the help.
OK so I dont know all what was messed up but here is what all I did. I went in to del the Root Explorer app and found that I had converted it to a sys app with TiBu. I undid that process, uninstall and reinstall. That didnt work, so I stuck SD in my puter and backed up files and then stuck card back into phone, robooted into recovery and did a wipe of the SD. Then I put a few test files back onto the card mounted by USB cable) and tried to make folder and del a diff file and it all seemed to work so all is good so far. As I am typing this I tried something else I couldnt do which was instll the XDA app. It kept saying something like it wouldnt write to the ext sd card. Well. I just installed it with no issues. Hooray!!!:laugh: So I dont really know what the issue was but it all seems to be going fine now. A BIG thank you to all that helped me in this. And Nitrous, I clicked the THANKS button on yours!! :good:
I did a search, but it yielded no results, so I'll ask it here... I use file Explorer and every now and again it will tell me in the status bar that I'm using this much space on the internal memory and ask to delete recently downloaded files or something to that effect. I tell it no and go on with my day. Today I realised that 7gb have mysteriously gone missing from my download folder inside file Explorer. I have no idea what happened to them. I'm currently running PureNexus with elimentalX kernel. Has anybody else experienced this? I'm wondering if this could be rom, file Explorer, or download manager related. Thanks in advance...
I am having the exact same damn problem as you. and I cannot copy it out of my phone, because it cannot be found in my phone. lol wtf
PS I am on Android N, and this has happened to me multiple times in the past.
Same thing with me. Stock ROM, rooted.
It's weird, the files can be found on the phone but not while trying to transfer files to PC.
There was a known bug since Android I-don't-know where whenever there is a new folder/file created, commonly in the Downloads folder, Java wasn't reloading that folder so it was stuck to the last time the folder was reloaded, long story-short, it stays as it is until you reload the code.
Try clearing Media Storage cache and then reboot. That got mine fixed.
