Method 1(easy and 99% working):

1. Download "init.d toggler" from google playstore or this link .

2. Open this app and press "enable init.d"


Method 2(complex for non linux users and 100% working but try it if method 1 failed for you):

1. Download this "term-init.sh" from here  written by "Ryuinferno @ XDA".

2. Open  terminal emultaor.

IMEI null ERROR in SAMSUNG Devices

Hi guys,


So today I am gonna tell you guys about "how to repair unknown baseband/no signal/imei null only for samsung phones".

First of all it is very essential to know about the reason why this occured:

1. Upgrading your software update manually.

2. Flashing custom ROMs(some also flash custom kernel thats why).

3. Flashing custom kernels.

These are the reasons i have the most of time for this error.


So my suggestions to newbies are "precaution is better than cure always", always make a NANDroid backup before any flashing or upgrading.

As we all know that information related to "IMEI, MAC address of NICs, Vendor IDs etc". In MTK these are very easy to find and playwith but in samsung dont even try for it if you are a newbie because they ahve hidden it very well under EFS i.e, a system directory.

After alot of study and research I found out a solution ( if you have a NAND backup or not ) using a tool developed by an XDA member "LiquidPerfection", namely "EFS Professional".


Steps :

1. Download EFS professional.zip from here, extract it, open EFS professional.exe and click on "EFS professional".



2. Connect your device and click on Device info if you wanna see details of your phone(optional).



3. Now goto Restore tab and click format EFS and press OK (sometimes your EFS gets corrupted so just format EFS option can make it well) and reboot ( press *#06# and check if u got you imei back).



4. If still you got no success, then tick the option "repair unknown baseband/no signal" and then click on "restore".



5. Done now just goto settings or engineer mode or USSDs you have got your IMEI, MAC, IDs back.



Thanks for visiting guys.
I wish it helped you all.

How To Force 2g, 3g & 4g Data On Android ( Kit Kat & Lollipop) .

Recently many of my friends asked me for forced network preference on Android i.e how one can enable 2g, 3g & 4g data connection as per requirement
Since smart phones with Kit Kat & Lollipop have option for preferred network so smart phone operates on 2g even if you select "3g preferred" under Network Settings. After lots of ups & down I came to the solution and decided to share it among the world.

Procedure:
1: Open the dial pad of your android.

2: Dial, *#*#4636#*#* you will be able to see a screen as shown below.

3: Go to "Phone Information" and scroll down till you get a drop down menu after "Set preferred network type:"

4: Select the network type you wish you to enable ending with "Only" suffix. Example:As I have selected "WCDMA Only"

5: Don't modify any other settings, it may effect your phone functionality.
6: Comment if you have any doubt.

NOW YOU ARE DONE TO GO...ENJOY..!

The content i have provided is only for information purpose don't do any other settings unless you are aware about what you are doing. I or TRICKSVIBE team will not be responsible if anything goes wrong with your smart phone.
