[HOW TO] RE-ODEX a DEODEXED rom with OdexMe app

[HOW TO] RE-ODEX a DEODEXED rom with OdexMe app - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

I was browsing Galaxy S II xda thread when suddenly I found one thread started by paulobrien with very interesting app to RE- ODEX a DEODEXED stock / custom rom. I tried it with my phone which is running Perka's CompilationROM based on the leaked XXELK4 rom and it's working just fine till now. For more info about my setup, read my signature.
For step by step guide, follow the steps below (courtesy of theking_13. To go to the original HOW TO thread, click this)
"Odex Me" by Paulobrien! Here's the link to the original thread, all credit goes to him!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1215271
Now here's where my part comes in, my step-by-step guide!
This will work on ANY DEODEXED ROM.
*Use this only AFTER you've made any changes to the framework or flashed .zips that change the framework.*
First and foremost, make a backup! You should always do this before messing with system files!
1) Make sure you have a rooted rom, without root the app won't do much but install.
2) Allow "Unknown sources" by going into Settings > Security > and scroll down.
3) Download the .apk either down below, or from the link above.
4) Install as a normal app.
5) Open the app, make sure you give it root access, and it will run.
6) Let it run, it will reboot your phone, take around 5-10 minutes, and then reboot again. You will be greeted by "Android is upgrading" which means its rebuilding your dalvik cache.
7) Once its at the lock screen, done! You can make sure it did its job by using a file explorer with root access (I use Root Browser, if that helps) and go to the root of your phone's memory, go to system > app, and you should see a bunch of "appnamehere".odex files.
Please show appreciation by pressing the thanks button for theking_13 and also paulobrien (without him, this easy-odex app simply won't exist)

I need an reverse tool ?

with this tool, can we re-odex this mod?

No because it odexes only /system/app

[Q] Reinstall HTC Sense stock apps

Hello,
I've removed the Gallery app (com.htc.album.apk) using the Titanium backup 'cause I wanted to replace it with another one. I do have the backup, but when I do a restore it just does the circle with restore in progress forever. Is there a way to restore the Gallery?
The only reason why I want to restore is that when I use the HTC Sense apps which cooperate with Gallery (for example the Camera), when I want to see the photos the apps crash - I thought it would be possible to choose another app like QuickPic for this photo browsing, but apparently not. Therefore I would be very grateful if somebody knows how to restore the app.
The phone has s-off and is rooted.
Thank you very much.

SOLUTION
OK, I've found a way how to do it, so just want to share with others, in case anybody gets into the same kinda trouble as I did ;-)
The steps:
1. Download the zipped RUU of the stock ROM and extract the APK and ODEX files of the app you want to restore (HTCAlbum.apk and HTCAlbum.odex in my case)
2. Using Root Explorer (or some other tool that can write into /system/app) copy the apk and odex files into it.
3. Again using the same tool set the permissions of the 2 files to rw-r--r-- and set the owner and group to 0 - root (both user and group)
4. What I did now was try to Install the apk in the /system/app, but it failed, so probably this step is not needed - just put it here in order to reproduce exactly all steps.
5. Reboot the phone -> after the reboot the app should appear in the app drawer and all HTC stock apps now work with using the Gallery.
Please if you try this method, write down your comment, whether you succeeded or not.
Cheers and good luck...

Didn't work for me. Tried apk and odex gallery from newest ruu.

I also accidentally removed the Gallery (com.htc.album.apk), and I've found a way out to do it.
First to do :
> Install the latest Java JDK.
> Install HTC Sync & drivers.
> Install the Android SDK.
> Open SDK Manager after installing the Android SDK successfully.
> Install every 'Available Packages' in SDK Manager.
> Edit 'Path' in Environmental Variables and put this behind the line
Code:
;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
> Enable USB Debugging on your HTC.
And after all this above..
1 -Connect your Wildfire to the PC.
2 -Reboot into CWM Recovery.
3 -Go to Mounts and Storage.
4 -Select Mount /system.
Then use adb :
Oh and make sure the HTCAlbum.apk is in the same map as adb.exe
Code:
adb push HTCAlbum.apk /system/app
-MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS S-OFF- Otherwise it won't work.

This doesn't need S-OFF. Just a Custom Recovery like Clockworkmod.

[GUIDE] Rooting, ClockworkMod and Custom ROMs...an A to Z for beginners

Hi all, this thread has been written for the first time modifier who is adventurous enough to want to get the best from their phone, but who is unsure how to proceed.
It has been designed to be easy to understand and be as user friendly as possible.
Before I go any further, it's only fair to state that I am NOT the original author/developer for any of the processes, methods or software contained herein, I will try to give credit where it is due.
Please be aware that these instructions are Galaxy Wonder SPECIFIC, I DO NOT KNOW if they will work on any of the other variants of this phone.
It should be noted that any modifications performed on your phone carry an element of risk. The responsibility for this risk lies with YOU as it is YOU who are CHOOSING to follow these instructions. Neither I nor anybody else mentioned in this post will accept ANY responsibility if you damage your phone by following the instructions detailed below.
Also note that by following these instructions, you WILL be voiding your warranty.....
All the processes detailed below are possible WITHOUT the use of a PC. there is an alternative method for all the processes that uses a PC and a software package called ODIN. People will argue in favour of one method or the other.....My preference is to do everything "in phone" without ODIN.
Before you start any of the listed processes check to see that you have AT LEAST 50% remaining battery power. I'd personally recommend that you fully charge your phone before you start.
Finally, if it is your intention to install a custom ROM, it is necessary to follow EVERY procedure listed IN THE ORDER listed. Failure to do so WILL lead to damaging your phone.....you have been warned.....
Step 1) Rooting
When you Root your phone, you are giving yourself "administrator" rights to your device. you CANNOT move on to the other steps unless you've Rooted your phone.
Please see the thread below (created by @THE E ) that details a step by step guide (with resources) for rooting your phone.
Here is an alternate link for the update zip.......
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347838294
I have, since compiling these instructions, begun to read that the method below, WILL work for Android version 2.3.5, but MAY NOT work with Android version 2.3.6. To find out which Android version you are using, tap...
Settings>> about phone/device>>Android version.
If you find you have 2.3.6 try the method anyway...it won't damage your phone, it just won't work (if these reports are accurate). I am trying to get clarification from the developer on this, so please bear with me......
If it doesn't work, please leave a comment at the end of this thread and/or the below linked thread......
(Edit...this has been confirmed working on at least two 2.3.6 devices....thanks for the feedback @azim and @WonderTester )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317394
The first method detailed in the link is the easiest. You will find the "update zip" file in "downloads". It needs to be moved (copied and pasted) from downloads so that it is NOT inside ANY folder but is still in your internal phone memory (root directory).
More confident users may want to make a backup of their 'stock' recovery before installing CWM. this backup will be useful if you've rooted your phone and installed CWM, but haven't installed a custom ROM..... and then discover a need to send the phone in for repair. This post by @elchi1234 will tell you how to do it......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46433083
Step 2) installing ClockworkMod
ClockworkMod (CWM) is an advanced piece of software that replaces the pre installed recovery partition on your phone. It allows you to (amongst other things) make NANDROID backups (I will cover this later), factory wipe your phone and install CUSTOM ROMs. the method quoted below was provided to me by @IvanKurnia . You need to install TERMINAL EMULATOR and BUSYBOX (available in the Play Store) in order for this method to work.....
THESE STEPS NEED ROOT & BUSYBOX, BUT DON'T NEED A PC & ODIN..
FOR BEST RESULTS, UPDATE YOUR SUPERUSER.APK, SU BINARY, AND BUSYBOX
Open one of these links (courtesy of @arco68 )..
CWM 6.0.1.2
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347838291
CWM 6.0.4.4
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347838292
CWM 6.0.4.5
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347838293
-download and extract (unzip) the file from your chosen link.
-put the recovery.img file in /mnt/sdcard (internal phone storage. NOT external SD card)
-download "Terminal Emulator" (by Jack) from the Play Store
-open Terminal Emulator then type "su" and click enter
-allow root access..
-then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13"
(the su and dd if=/.....text needs to be entered without the " " quote marks)
then click enter
(the 0 in mmcblk0p13 is the number NOT the letter).
-then some text will appear at the bottom of the Terminal Emulator panel.
-exit terminal emulator.. check the recovery by turning off the device then turn on with volume up button, home button, and power button pressed together.. until "Galaxy W" screen shows up, release the power button only.. then you will enter CWM
-navigate with up (up) and down (down) vol buttons and home keys (select) and power (back) and click "reboot system now" to reboot
The above method has a proven track record for successful implementation.
There is an alternative method of installing a recovery (created by @pepoluan) which bypasses the need to type code into terminal emulator. See this thread for details.......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113946
There is an alternative custom recovery for the Wonder called TWRP.....it has one major advantage over CWM in that it is a 'touch' recovery....you touch the screen rather than relying on pressing buttons to use it. Please see this thread........
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046035
for download and flashing instructions.
Step 3) preparing your phone for CUSTOM ROMs.
When you flash (install) a CUSTOM ROM on your phone, it is necessary to wipe everything (including original Android OS, Apps, SMS messages, call records, contacts etc) from your phone before hand. If you need these on your phone after ROM installation, you have to make copies of them first.
To copy the OS, you will need to create a NANDROID BACKUP....You might ask why this is necessary...simple...If you (for some reason) want/need to go back to the factory installed software, the NANDROID BACKUP is the easiest way to do so.
In order to create it, you need to reboot into recovery (switch the phone off, then switch back on while pressing the power, home and volume up keys, then releasing ONLY the power button when the SAMSUNG logo appears) Use the volume down button to scroll to "backup and restore" and use the home button to select, then on the next screen, select backup.
You will need 800mb or more of free memory to create this backup....any less and it won't complete.
When done, reboot your phone and use your file browser to search for a file called ClockworkMod. If you find it on your external SD card you don't need to do a thing, If you find it in internal storage, you need to "zip" it (minimal compression) and move it to your external SD card, otherwise it'll be deleted during the wipe process prior to installing your custom rom.
It is advisable to create a Nandroid backup not only before flashing your very first ROM, but also before you upgrade from an older version of your chosen ROM to a newer version (eg CM10 a2 to CM10 a4.1) that way you ALWAYS have a functioning copy of a working setup that you can go back to if something goes wrong.......
To backup your Apps, you'll need to download APPBAK from the play store.
To backup your SMSs, you'll need to download SMS BACKUP AND RESTORE from the play store.
To backup your call logs, you'll need to download CALL LOGS BACKUP AND RESTORE from the play store.
Open each app in turn and use it to create backup files for everything you want to restore. As before, if these files are stored on internal storage, move them to your external SD card to prevent deletion.
CAUTION.....DO NOT attempt to back up app user data (high scores, game progress etc) this data MUST NOT be re installed when you re install your apps.
To create a backup of your contacts, you need to go to your contacts on your phone, press the menu button, select import/export then select export to SD card to create a backup file...again, check for file location and move if necessary.
Make a note of WHERE the backup files are located before you move them. It will probably be a good idea to return them to their original location once you have installed your new ROM. That way when you use the apps to restore your data, the apps will be able to find their respective backup files.
You are now ready to install your CUSTOM ROM.
Step 4) CUSTOM ROM installation
Below is a list of CUSTOM ROMs that will install through CWM.
In this section, you'll see several references to GAPPS. This is an acronym for Google APPS which is a package that contains Google related software such as Play Store etc. Without it, you won't be able to access any of the Google services.

DO NOT extract these zips as this is the format that is needed to flash the packages in CWM. You will need to download 7zipper 2.0 from the playstore in order to extract the files.

Some members have requested the ability to use their removable micro SD cards as an alternative to the phones built in storage. on CM-9 this facility is built in. on CM-10 and CM-10.1, it is not. Normally, to achieve this, the ROM would have to be modified after installation. Some members (myself included) are uncomfortable when it comes to modifying code. With that in mind a forum member called @temenalie has taken the latest builds of Arco68's CM-10 and CM-10.1 and modified the code so that the storage mount swap takes place DURING the installation, so that the end user doesn't have to do it 'post install'

Edit (20/10/15) the above two links are non functional, I am trying to re-source these ROM's and hope to be able to make them available again in the near future.
These ROMs should ONLY be used if there is an external SD card present in the phone that you want to use as phone storage.
ROMs courtesy of @arco68 , modifications courtesy of @temenalie.
Each of the above links opens the home page for that specific ROM. Most will have installation instructions on the first page. ALL instructions MUST be followed EXACTLY to avoid damaging your phone. some will have a separate "GAPPS" file which needs to be installed as well as the ROM.
Unless otherwise stated in the instructions for the individual ROMs, the method detailed below can be used to install all the ROMs from the links above. You MUST read all the instructions for your chosen ROM in case there are any differences in the installation methods.
-1) download the ROM and GAPPS (if Needed) to your phone/SD card
-2) switch off then reboot your phone into recovery
-3) create your NANDROID BACKUP (if you haven't already done so)
-4) scroll to and select "wipe cache partition"
-5) scroll to and select "advanced" then scroll to and select "wipe dalvik cache"
-6) this is the point of NO RETURN. press the back button then scroll to and select "wipe data/factory reset"
-7) scroll to and select "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" or "choose zip from external sdcard" depending on where you downloaded the ROM and GAPPS files. you MUST install the ROM FIRST followed by GAPPS (if necessary/not included in the ROM)
-8) press the back button until you see "advanced", select it then select "fix Permissions" (if necessary) then scroll to and select "wipe battery stats"
-9) press the back button and select "reboot system now"
A more in depth "pristine" wipe method can be read about in the article below created by @pepoluan ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044861
It can be used to replace the steps from step 4 above. Although it isn't necessary to complete this "pristine" wipe unless you were having problems with your "stock" ROM, or, after flashing your new custom ROM, you discover you have problems with that ROM and the only option is to do a complete wipe and re install.
Wait for your phone to boot up. You'll have to set up your phone again like you did when you purchased it and you'll have to sign into your Google account again in order to use the Play Store. Once the setup is complete, download APPBAK, SMS and CALL LOG BACKUP AND RESTORE, and restore your saved backups....
CAUTION......DO NOT restore user data generated by your apps. This will cause instability in your apps and make them force close.....
To restore your contacts, you need to open the newly installed (included in ROM) People app, press the menu button, select import/ export and then import from storage.
.you have now completed the process of modifying your phone.....congratulations and enjoy.....
On step 8 of the installation process, I mentioned 'wiping battery stats'. This is NOT something that is crucial to ROM installation, but it IS something that needs to be done after EVERY new installation. The reason being that your phone will calibrate your battery to your current ROM. When you install a new ROM, it'll have different battery usage patterns. If you don't get rid of the old battery data, you could experience some 'irregularities' in what the phone sees as the percentage of battery use compared to the actual battery use. Once this data has been wiped, you'll need to complete 3 or 4 full charge - full discharge cycles in order to calibrate the battery to the new ROM.....
One final point, none of the above would have been possible without the hard work of developers like @arco68 and the countless others who have given their time so that we can get the best from our phones.........

Every custom variant of CM9 based roms are tailored for a specific thing, theme, or style.
paranoidandroid for example, attempts to bring tablet interface to handhelds.
MIUI, as far as I know, attempts to create a smooth user interface, which should give the user 60 fps on the screen.
There might also some apps/tweaks difference. Try reading all the related thread to find out about each one. No pain, no gain

That's one thing I didn't cover on purpose....the differences between the ROMs as that is down to (informed) personal choice. The purpose of the original post is to familiarize new users with the basic process of modifying their phones. Once they have that experience of flashing custom ROMs, they can then start experimenting to see which ROM best suits their needs....
Having said that the original version of CM9 is always the best place to start......

TrevStuff - Apps and Stuff to help with Alliance and Other Roms

This is a collection of tools and apps that I have produced to try to help users of Alliance ROM and various Kernels. Some of these apps may work for other ROMs or Kernels but I must stress that these will not have been tested.
Contents
My Apps - Apps or Flashable Zips that I have produced to address specific needs.
Guides - Guides I have produced to take you through fixes or modifications.
Other Stuff - Useful bits from others.
Bespoke Stuff - Custom stuff that is not Rom or Kernel specific.
Rom Share - Links to Mirrors I have set up for Roms I use with slow download speeds from their original host.
Other useful Links:
Alliance Thread
Alliance OTA Submission Thread
Rom Share - Mirror of ROMs and Kernels I use where the main link is very slow.
Adblock Hub - Some adblockers saved from the Play Store cull.

Apps
My Apps - These are Apps or Flashable Zips that I have created for Alliance Rom or a specific Kernel
SymlinkSD - App that runs on boot and Symliks the External SDCard as /mnt/sdcard - Only needed for Kernels that display this behaviour.
Reset Fuel Gauge - Function to rectify weird battery readings, code taken from Dori's kernel and turned into an app.
Tweaker - Allows you to toggle the following options on your phone if the installed Apps support it:
Camera Silent Menu Item
Disable auto convert SMS to MMS
Change the maximum number of contacts that can be joined to another contact
TogMods - Auto enables any Toggle Modifications you have made on reboot instead of having to make a change to enable them.
AccuWeather Widget - Flashable Zip for either Normal (with Background) or Transparent
LS Fix - Repairs Issue on some LS8 ROMs where the Lockscreen does not come up and a long press of the power button restarts the phone.
Stock Messaging no Convert and Sent Time - Stock Messaging app with the Convert to MMS function disabled and displayed times reflect the sent time not received time.
AOSP Themed Messaging no Convert and Sent Time - AOSP Themed Messaging app with the Convert to MMS function disabled and displayed times reflect the sent time not received time.
SilentCam - Camera app with Silent Option
CPU Idle - Allows user to specify the Scheduler used for CPU Idle for screen on and off as long as the Kernel supports it.
Crash Logger - Captures LastKmsg file automatically after an unexpected reboot. File is saved to SD and copied to Clipboard. Kernel must not have disabled Android Logging.
Boot Wifi - Automatically enables WiFi on Boot for ROMs or Kernels that deactivate WiFi on startup.
Auto Wifi - Automatically enables WiFi on Boot for ROMs or Kernels that deactivate WiFi on startup and renenables WiFi if it is enabled by the user and then immediately deactivated by the Kernel or Rom.
Cache Cleaner - Runs the Cache Clean feature from Dorimanx kernel as a stand alone application. Just run and that's it. It will show the Start Free Ram, End Free Ram and then close itself and remove from memory.
Rom Select - App for Dual Boot users to allow them to change Roms without waiting for STweaks to load first. Tested with Dorimanx, should work with Siyah as well.
The following Apps may no longer be required as they should be fixed.
Dori CamFix - Fixes problems with some CM and AOKP ROMS where the camera force closes when using Dorimanx Kernel.
Fake Notify - Fixes issue for users using AllianceROM where the Notification bar does not show up on boot.
Fake Notify Plus - Fixes issue for users using AllianceROM where the Notification bar does not show up on boot and also sometimes disappears during normal use at Random.
Crackle Stop - Automates TRB's method of fixing the problem of a crackling sound being produced along with notifications. Once installed run and you will need to grant SU access. You will then be presented with a Menu for your Normal 'Idle' mode, this should be the same as the awake idle mode set in STweaks, next you will be asked for an Alt Idle mode, this can be anything, just not the same as your normal mode.
Once set you will need to reboot for the fix to activate.
Once rebooted the app does what it needs to do over a 20 second period (not 20 seconds after the phone has booted as the app will probably be the last thing loaded - so to be safe I'd give it 2 or 3 minutes). You then need to let your phone get into Deep Sleep so leave it for a bit and then after that all should be OK.
Note this is not a one off fix, this process will run on each boot but you do not need to rerun the App unless you want to change the Normal Idle mode.

Guides
My Guides - These are useful Guides I have made to help with various ROM and Kernel Issues.
Swype LSx Fix - Problem where the Custom Dictionary stops working and saving new words when using Swype on LSx ROMS.

Alliance Rom FAQ
How do I install 7.02?
You need to uninstall the Rom Customiser that comes with the Rom then install the new one from play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ficeto.alliancemanager) once installed go into Rom Customiser and then OTA and select the updates.
OTA does not mean Samsung or System OTA.
How do I install 7.3? I can't find it in OTA.
7.3 is a full Rom and not an update. As such you need to download the full Rom zip from the OP on the Alliance Thread. Once downloaded flash it through Rom Customiser.
How do I flash the Stock Theme for 7.3?
During installation uncheck the box next to "Alliance Theme".
What can be installed through Rom Customiser?
Anything can be flashed through Rom Customiser as long as it is a Flashable zip, an Odin Tar file or an OTA download.
I have Downloaded a mod or update from OTA which I cannot flash through recovery. What am I doing wrong?
You need to flash these files through Rom Customiser which will then automate recovery. You cannot flash these independently.
What is the default blue colour used in the Rom?
Uncheck the Alpha box Colour Hex code #33b5e5
How can I get the Dandelion Lock Screen Wallpaper back?
Download it from here.

Changing the DPI
Change the Entire System DPI setting.
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /System folder
3. Open the build.prop file
4. Scroll down to the 'Additional_build_properties' you are looking for the line
"ro.sf.lcd_density = 240"
The default value for the LCD density is 240, the lower the number the more on
the screen. 200 is a good value to start with.
Save the change.
5. Reboot phone for the change to become effective.

Since I requested this tweak, I would give a simple explanation on what it does and how to use it.
When your connecting to a ipsec vpn using wifi and having trouble browsing to your internal websites eventhough your connected to it. You can ping your internal network but the trouble is no browsing. The solutions are:
1. Tell your System Administrator to change the ip tcp adjust-mss to a lower value, in my case I used 1000 using 1841 cisco router. This prevents the packet from fragmentation. Packets when fragmented were dropped thus resulting to no browsing. If the Sys Ad refuses to do so because this may cause some issues to Windows users (browsing may slow a little bit), your best solution is to install this tweak.
2. This MTU mod sets the MTU value of your payload to 1300 via tunnel interface of your android device this avoiding packet fragmentation resulting to packet being allowed to pass through the tunnel interface going to ipsec vpn router.
How to use it:
1. Download the vpnc widget from playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.mjm4456.vpncwidget&hl=en
Configure your credentials. Then connect.
2. Once the vpnc widget has been connected open this app. Then you should have browsed your internal network.
Note: This tweak is needed only for wifi connections. If your using carrier data, then this is not needed anymore.
Please give thanks to the creator of this app.
I just gave him the code and he did all the stuff in making this app looks nice and easy to use.
Big credit to OP, trevfee and thanks to my neatrom family (Many40, Mr.Greg, ESD and others who helped me finding the code)

IMEI Recovery
IMPORTANT
FOR THIS PROCESS TO WORK YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD COPY OF YOUR /efs DIRECTORY TAKEN PRIOR TO THE PROBLEM HAPPENING. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER.
DISCLAIMER - THIS IS AN AMALGAMATION OF IDEAS, PROCESSES AND GUIDES FOUND ONLINE ALONG WITH MY OWN MODIFICATIONS AND PROCESSES THAT I HAD TO MAKE TO GET THE PROCESS TO WORK FOR ME.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE PERFORMED THIS PROCESS IN FULL AND IT HAS WORKED FOR ME I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR DATA LOSS THAT ARISES FROM FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. BY USING THIS GUIDE YOU ARE ACCEPTING ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL ACTIONS AND THEIR RESULTS.
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT PERFORMING THIS PROCESS WILL INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY BUT IF YOU ARE ALREADY ROOTED AND RUNNING CUSTOM SOFTWARE THEN YOU HAVE ALREADY INVALIDATED YOUR WARRANTY ANYWAY.
This is a common problem that usually occurs when a problem is encountered flashing a file from Recovery. Please take the precautions listed below, it will save you a lot of trouble should you ever suffer from this problem.
Backup Process
There are 3 ways that I use to back up the /efs directory.
These are:
1 - Manually copy /efs to your SD Card and make another copy somewhere safe (Computer, Dropbox, etc).
2 - Use HC-kTool to make a backup image of your /efs directory.
3 - Use Galaxy S Unlock AND GSII Repair to make backups of your original /efs directory (These are both the same but by doing both you have two copies of /efs available should you need it).
All Apps available from the Google Play Store or can be downloaded in the AppPack from here
At the end of this process you will have 4 copies of your /efs directory on your SD Card as well as any dulicates you created externally in step 1. This might seem like overkill but trust me taking 5 minutes creating these will save you hours and possibly quite a bit of money in repair costs in the long run should you ever need to recover!
Now you have your backups lets hope that you never need them, but should you then...
Recovery Process
Acknowledgements
Based on original post by XDA Member vaskodogamagmail with more detail and modifications to make process work added by me.
Original Post
Symptoms
You may have one, some or all of the following:
No Signal
Emergency Call Only
No Network
IMEI 004999010640000
IMEI 000000000000000
IMEI
(To check your IMEI number either enter *#06# dial into the dialer or check in Settings, Phone Information)
Prerequisites
Rooted Phone
Try the following processes in order until the problem is resolved.
Method 1:
Open HC-kTool and choose "Restore efs from backup (DANGEROUS!)" then choose "Restore IMG". Once completed you will be prompted to reboot. Perform Reboot and if all has gone well you will have a working phone again.
Method 2:
Open Galaxy S Unlock app and select "Restore saved EFS Folder". This will come up with a response saying "Done". Reboot and see if your phone is working again.
Method 3:
Open GSII_Repair and perform Options 2 and 3. Your phone will reboot. Once it has rebooted see if your phone is working.
Method 4:
Open GSII_Repair and select "Restore saved EFS Folder". This will come up with a response saying "Done". Reboot and see if your phone is working again.
Method 5:
This is the last chance (and the one that after tweaking to what you see below worked for me).
You will Need the following:
Stock GB ROM
Insecure Kernel
ODIN
Quick Root
All of these can be downloaded in the IMEIFix.zip which can be downloaded from here.
Android SDK and ADB instaled on your Computer or a Terminal App on your Phone (Personally I prefer ADB from Computer but you choose whichever you are most comfortable with).
We are going to restore your phone to as close to original stock a possible. No data wil be removed from your SD Card(s) but all installed apps, customisations, ROMs and Kernels will be removed. Please backup everyting you need before runnng this process.
If you are able to make a Nandroid Backup of your Rom you will be able to recover this at the end of the process.
Open ODIN
In Options select "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time".
Select the following files from the "OriginalRom" folder on your computer:
Bootloader -> KERNEL_I9100XEKDB_CL161513_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
PDA -> CODE_I9100XEKDB_CL161513_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Phone -> MODEM_I9100XXKDH_REV_02_CL995882.tar.md5
Reboot your phone into Download Mode (Hold down Home, Volume Down and Power when turnng on).
When in Download Mode connect to Computer via USB.
You will get a Ready message in one of the top boxes in ODIN. When you have this press the Start button.
After a while your phone will reboot and load up into it's Stock setup.
Configure the settings and then Power down the Phone.
Once Powered down go into Download Mode again (same process as above).
In ODIN press Reset.
Set the same options as before.
This time only set the Bootloader box. Select the file from the "InsecureKernel" folder on your computer - NOTE Insecure means that it is able to be rooted, not that there is a security issue with using it. We will be replacing this later anyway.
Check you have the Ready in the top box in ODIN and press Start.
Once finished your phone will reboot to stock again. IMPORTANT - Disconnect the USB cable before proceeding.
Go to Settings, Applications, Developer Options.
Turn ON "USB Debugging".
Connect USB cable to Computer and Phone.
Open "Samsung Quick Root"
Select "Reboot Device When Finished"
Press "Root Device"
Some text will scroll on the screen and then phone will reboot.
This will have installed SuperUser, Busybox and Rooted your phone.
Install a Root capable Explorer app, I used Es File Explorer, either download from the Play Store or you can install if from the Apps folder of IMEIFix downloaded above.
Open a Command Prompt on your Computer
Enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
busybox umount -l /efs
exit
exit
Using your chosen exporer delete the efs folder from the root of your phone.
Reset the phone, after that open your explorer again and browse to the Root, the efs folder should have recreated and will contain files. These are new and are system generated.
Go to the efs folder using your chosen explorer, and delete "nv_data.bin" and "nv_data.bin.md5".
Go to the working back up of your efs folder on your SD Card, copy the "imei" folder to the efs folder at the root of your phone, then again go to the backed up efs folder on your SD Card and copy the "nv_data.bin" file to your efs folder at the root of your phone using your explorer. Once you have copied this file, please rename the new file to "nv_data.bin.bak".
Make another copy of the "nv_data.bin" file in the backed up efs folder on your SD Card and paste this into the efs folder at the root of your phone again.
On your Computer open a command prompt and enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
chown 1001:radio /efs/nv_data.bin
Reset your phone.
You should now have your Original IMEI, check this by dialing *#06# call into the dialer. If you have the correct IMEI then you are done. You can either reinstall your usual ROM, Apps, Kernel etc manually or restore an existing backup.
If you need to install a Recovery with CWM (to restore backups or install new ROMs and Kernels then please follow these steps:
Install Mobile Odin from ChainFire from the Play Store (or if you are an XDA user you can download from here)
If you have used the XDA version you will also need the eu.chainfire.mobileodin.flashkernel.i9100.v2-1 apk file, this is in the IMEIFix download above in the Apps folder.
Copy the Kernel-V7.tar file from the CWMKernel folder in IMEIFix to your SD Card.
Open Mobile Odin and from there open the Kernel-V7.tar file. This will flash Dorimanx 7.45. If you now boot into recovery you can flash what you need to in the usual way.
By following the process above you will likely find that the Triangle Alert is now on your screen when booting yor phone indicating that your bootloader has been modified. Although this makes no functional difference to your phone you can remove this alert by installing TriangleAway from the Play Store (or if you are an XDA user you can download from here. This will reset the flash counters in your phone and remove the warning.
If you still have the wrong or no IMEI then you will need to seek further help.
There is no obligation but if this guide has just saved your phone and you feel you would like to show your appreciation there is a "Donate" button on the left, please feel free to use it.

YouTube fix
The problem is actually with Xlory's Inverted Play Store so far a fix had not been released by Xlory so we have to use the following workaround based on suggestion from Nos_20 and modifications from Andreas75k.
Fully uninstall YouTube, firstly from the Play Store or Settings, Applications and then from Rom Customiser (Manage System Apps).
In Rom Customiser go to OTA then select and flash Stock Play Store.
Goto Settings, Applications and wipe cache, data and any updates for Google Play Services and Google Play Store.
Reboot to recovery.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Reboot.
Once rebooted reinstall YouTube in Rom Customiser and update through the Play Store or just install directly from the Play Store but obviously it wont be a system app.
That's it, all should now work.
Key here is: don't use any modified versions of Google Play Services, Google Play Store or YouTube, only STOCK.

[Q] Brand new T999V running Cyanogenmod 10, camera doesn't work! Please help!

*************************SOLVED*****************************************************************************************************************************
Hi everyone!
I'm a noob. I got my Galaxy S3 T999V rooted and the boot (recovery?) runs clockworkmod. CyanogenMod 10 is running smoothly, except:
The camera doesn't work! Getting a "cannot connect to camera" error instantly upon launching the camera app (stock).
So from perusing the internet a little more, there are other phone models also suffering from this "can't connect to camera" error.
The fix involves: Booting into rooted stock. extracting the folder "cameradata" in system using a file explorer (AndroZip). Put them on the external sdcard or your computer. Then overwrite your CM10 flashed system/cameradata folder's .bin(s) and setting the permissions a certain way.
Does anyone have the stock Galaxy S3 cameradata files? And I have no idea how to change permissions!! HELP!!
*************************SOLVED*****************************I*TAKE*NO*RESPONSIBILITY*FOR*ANY*DAMAGES*OR*BRICKING*THAT*MAY*OCCUR***********
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102981&page=2#post39859973
THOSE ARE THE FILES (or click here?)
1. Download the files, unzip them and place them somewhere on the phone (sdcard0 or sdcard1, in some separate, user-made folder)
2. Make sure you have CyanogenMod's built-in File Manager set to allow ROOT access
3. Using CyanogenMod's built-in File Manager, click the "parent folder" at the top until the top reader line says /
4. Look for a folder called system, enter it
5. Look for a folder called cameradata, enter it
6. With nothing selected, press the :: button in the bottom left, on-screen. Select "properties" and choose 'permissions', grant all properties to everything (except the S column). This allows you to copy the downloaded files into this folder.
7. Browse to where you have the files. On the left is a tick-box, tick them all.
8. Browse back to the /system/cameradata/
9. Select the :: again. Select "paste all items here". SELECT OVERWRITE.
10. Individually long-press each item and change it's properties. Select permissions and permit all except the S column again. This allows the app to be accessed, the user to change the app, and the app to save files.
11. Attempt to run the STOCK camera app. CHANGE THE SCENE "SCN" TO 'ACTION'. I've been told this keeps it from crashing again...
12. If the camera app is a bit laggy, try rebooting. If it persists (but camera app is functioning) may want to restore permissions using Recovery Boot (I use CWM).
The difference MAY be adding that one extra file (_ZH), but I recommend moving and overwriting all just to be safe.

Hi everyone!
I'm new to the whole modding/cyanogen/clockwork thing. I got my Galaxy S3 T999V rooted and the boot (recovery?) runs clockworkmod. CyanogenMod 10 is running smoothly, except a few issues:
- The WiFi and mobile network connections fly between 20% and 60% (with the WiFi signal reaching 98%) when I am just sitting in my room and the phone is motionless. Do I need to update the radios to get better reception? (And how do I do that? I am on Mobilicity in Canada)
- What steps do I take to perform a restore? I've made a backup in the CWM boot/recovery of Cyanogen after I got everything working fine. If I messed some things up, what steps do I take to restore back to that point? Do I press Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache, or do I just select Restore and the file to restore using?
- THIS IS MY BIGGEST ISSUE: The camera doesn't work! None of the camera apps work in my CM10. Skype and Hangout using the front camera works, but no photo-taking apps work (they do not even run, just black then they back out to the Apps screen)
So how do I:
> Get more stable reception? Do I update the radios? If so, how?
> Perform a restore? What steps do I take to return to a backup I have of Cyanogen?
> Get my camera working?

May I ask quickly what steps are involved in "reflashing"? Just to make sure I don't do some extra step or miss something.
As far as the stable version goes, I looked for the d2tmo file on get.cm under the Stable tab. I'm assuming that would be the most stable build?
(Perhaps a nightly might fix it??)
Question: Is there not a way I can just install/add this "4.2" camera? I've seen videos and read that people are using that just fine on CM10. Alternately if I boot into recovery would "fix permissions" be any help?

Hi everyone!
I'm new to the whole modding/cyanogen/clockwork thing. I got my Galaxy S3 T999V rooted and the boot (recovery?) runs clockworkmod. CyanogenMod 10 is running smoothly, except a few issues:
- The WiFi and mobile network connections fly between 20% and 60% (with the WiFi signal reaching 98%) when I am just sitting in my room and the phone is motionless. Do I need to update the radios to get better reception? (And how do I do that? I am on Mobilicity in Canada)
- What steps do I take to perform a restore? I've made a backup in the CWM boot/recovery of Cyanogen after I got everything working fine. If I messed some things up, what steps do I take to restore back to that point? Do I press Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache, or do I just select Restore and the file to restore using?
- THIS IS MY BIGGEST ISSUE: The camera doesn't work! None of the camera apps work in my CM10. Skype and Hangout using the front camera works, but no photo-taking apps work (they do not even run, just black then they back out to the Apps screen)
So how do I:
> Get more stable reception? Do I update the radios? If so, how?
> Perform a restore? What steps do I take to return to a backup I have of Cyanogen?
> Get my camera working?

The very best advise is to do the following, doing anything else will most likely prolong
the problems you are having or making them even more difficult to resolve.
First thing you need to do is to install the stock Tmobile T999 rooted firmware.
Here are the exact step by step instructions with the download link for the firmware.
After you have followed these instructions your phone will be working properly and if
you like you will be able to flash any custom roms made for the Tmobile T999 phone
or restore any backups unless the the backup is corrupted in some way or another.
Here is the link to the Tmobile Stock & Rooted firmware you need:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451
After downloading it make a folder on your desktop and unzip the file
using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Here is a link for ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware
(a windows app) http://d-h.st/Q14
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file.
Here is a step by step guide for you.
Download the firmware of your choosing (use the root66 version if you want root)
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the folder you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the FW you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache! (It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

I followed most of these directions the first time, using the guide from High On Android:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPeIZZVYHbY
I used Odin, got root, wiped and got CM10 working.
This seems to be a bit of a problem that has cropped up in other models (i747). The fix that was used was to get back to the Stock ROM, while rooted, and browse to the system folder /cameradata/. In there are files for permissions for the camera. Copy those to the external SD card or your computer, then get back into CM10. Replace the CyanogenMod system folder /cameradata/ with the files you got from the Stock ROM. Then change the permissions for these new files.
So does anyone have the Stock /cameradata/ files? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Just download any of the custom rom zip files based on the jellybean v4.1.1 stock rom.
All of those custom roms will have the files you are looking for.

Yes, I tried all the other options for getting my camera back on track, but only going back to a full stock (rooted) ROM got my camera up and running again. FWIW, I was running an AOSP ROM for months without issue. What kicked my camera offline (the dreaded can't connect to camera) for some strange reason was when I updated to the most recent firmware VRBMF1. Now its straight back to AOSP for me! Thanks for creating this post! Very helpful!

My fix
I'm going around posting my fix to all the camera threads in hopes of helping people find a solution sooner. I created a thread over in d2vzw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492304

fix camera error on i9300 with cm 9 (4.0.4)

*************************SOLVED*****************************************************************************************************************************
Hi everyone!
I'm a noob. I got my Galaxy S3 T999V rooted and the boot (recovery?) runs clockworkmod. CyanogenMod 10 is running smoothly, except:
The camera doesn't work! Getting a "cannot connect to camera" error instantly upon launching the camera app (stock).
So from perusing the internet a little more, there are other phone models also suffering from this "can't connect to camera" error.
The fix involves: Booting into rooted stock. extracting the folder "cameradata" in system using a file explorer (AndroZip). Put them on the external sdcard or your computer. Then overwrite your CM10 flashed system/cameradata folder's .bin(s) and setting the permissions a certain way.
Does anyone have the stock Galaxy S3 cameradata files? And I have no idea how to change permissions!! HELP!!

THOSE ARE THE FILES (or click here?)
1. Download the files, unzip them and place them somewhere on the phone (sdcard0 or sdcard1, in some separate, user-made folder)
2. Make sure you have CyanogenMod's built-in File Manager set to allow ROOT access
3. Using CyanogenMod's built-in File Manager, click the "parent folder" at the top until the top reader line says /
4. Look for a folder called system, enter it
5. Look for a folder called cameradata, enter it
6. With nothing selected, press the :: button in the bottom left, on-screen. Select "properties" and choose 'permissions', grant all properties to everything (except the S column). This allows you to copy the downloaded files into this folder.
7. Browse to where you have the files. On the left is a tick-box, tick them all.
8. Browse back to the /system/cameradata/
9. Select the :: again. Select "paste all items here". SELECT OVERWRITE.
10. Individually long-press each item and change it's properties. Select permissions and permit all except the S column again. This allows the app to be accessed, the user to change the app, and the app to save files.
11. Attempt to run the STOCK camera app. CHANGE THE SCENE "SCN" TO 'ACTION'. I've been told this keeps it from crashing again...
12. If the camera app is a bit laggy, try rebooting. If it persists (but camera app is functioning) may want to restore permissions using Recovery Boot (I use CWM).
The difference MAY be adding that one extra file (_ZH), but I recommend moving and overwriting all just to be safe.

[How-To]N930T - Root, Mods, Everything Working - 9/29/16 - Updated to PI4 System.img

Here it is. Full T-mobile With root, wifi calling, bluetooth and volte all working - since this is t-mobile based all bands should work as well
Updated to use API4 System Image and API4 Modem - MyMods has also been updated for the API4 System - Whatever you do DO NOT FLASH the API4 BL file. you will be Stuck on the new firmware without root if you do this as you cannot go back
To Avoid Repeat Questons. READ! READ IT AGAIN! and then READ it once more! if you do not Understand any part of this. Do Not Continue!!!
This Guide assumes you have some basic knowledge and is for advanced users!!!!!!!!
This Guide also Assumes you have an sdcard inserted in your phone(however some of you may not and this will not work.)
i will post an update to this guide when we have a method working for those of you with no extsdcard
Read this entire post before doing anything to avoid issues and FOLLOW Directions - if you don't things will not work right.
Note! if at anytime during the following steps you see the samsung boot animation before step 11. start over cause you screwed up!
Step 1. download the following files
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732237653 bbx.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457084094631641263 API4 system.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686680535467223 T-mobile APGC Bootloader
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862665245 T-mobile API4 Modem
Step 2. extract system.rar and bbx.rar and then copy system.img and bbx to your extsdcard(the sdcard you inserted into your phone)
Step 3. odin sprint userdebug firmware available here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
Step 4. Directly after odin is done with the sprint file you will immidiatly be presented with an update screen
Step 4a when this process of erasing your phone is finished it will reboot(this is the point you want to do the next step)
Step 4b. press and hold power, home and vol up to enter recovery
Step 4c If you see the samsung boot animation. you did NOT do this right and i would suggest you start over
Step 5. open a command prompt in your adb folder and do the following steps 1 at a time(these are case sensative)
Step 5a. adb shell
Step 5b. su
Step 5c. setenforce 0
Step 5d. export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
Step 5e. mount -o remount,rw /
Step 5f. on your phone, go to apply update from sdcard(this will mount your extsdcard as /sdcard and you should see the system.img file and the bbx file) do not select anything, go back to adb and continue(it is not a big deal if those files don't show. we just needed the extsdcard mounted as sdcard - the files exist, just continue to the next step)
Step 5g. cp /sdcard/bbx /sbin/bbx
Step 5h. chmod 777 /sbin/bbx
Step 5i. cd /sbin
Step 5j. ./bbx --install /sbin
Step 5k. umount -l /system
Step 5l. /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system
Note. you will see a blinking cursor. just be patient
Step 7. when it is done you will see something similar to this
11161600+0 records in
11161600+0 records out
5714739200 bytes (5.3GB) copied, 268.668086 seconds, 20.3MB/s
Step 8. if all went well you should be at your prompt and not in adb anymore
Step 9. from your command prompt simply type
Step 9a. adb reboot bootloader
Note! - if you still have odin open and the sprint file in the ap box make sure you uncheck it so it doesn't reodin the sprint firmware
Step 10. open odin and click the bl button and select this file - BL_N930TUVU1APGC_CL8706614_QB10376889_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10b. now click the cp button and select this file - CP_N930TUVU2API4_CL9115549_QB10937257_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10c. now click start. it will reboot when done let it fully boot this time.
Step 11. once booted and you have setup your phone, we need to add the root files or supersu as most of you know it
Note! pertaining to Step 12. these instructions were taken Explicitly from @freeza thread which is listed in step 3
Step 12. Now we need to add supersu and the needed files for it to work
Step 12a. download this file - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732236679
Step 12b. Extract the sun7 file to your adb folder making sure the files are in a folder called sun7(mine looks like this - c:/adb/sun7 and contains 4 files)
Step 12c. Open a command prompt where your ADB executable and sun7 folder are.
Step 12d. adb shell
Step 12e. su - Note! if your adb prompot changes from a $ to #(you are good and have root access)
Step 12f. type exit twice to get back to the command prompt. - Your Phone should be fully booted when you do this
Step 12g. adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su
Step 12h. adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su/*
Step 12i. adb shell
Step 12j. cd data/local/tmp/su
Step 12k. su
Step 12l. ./root.sh - Note. this command begins with a . do not leave it out
Step 12m. Your Phone will now reboot
Step 13. when booted back up go to playstore and install busybox on rails or a similar app and install busybox to /system/xbin(if your given an option of where to install it)
Step 14. Thats Pretty Much it. install any additions i have included if you like. most of all enjoy it
Additional Notes!
If for any reason you do a factory reset. you will break root and need to redo this method to get it back
If you use shealth do not update it or allow playstore or galaxy appstore to auto update it or it will break it
If you plan on running the debloat/deknox file you will need to disable auto updates in google playstore as soon as you finish the setup wizard or you will be uninstalling the apps that managed to update
Note! Keep in mind that i remove alot of things(ie. allshare, knox, gear manager, game manager, tmo apps, google apps, facebook and alot of other things) if you need any of what i remove, you can simply open the zip and go to META-INF/com/google/android and open the following file "updater-script" in notepad++(do not open it with windows notepad as it will screw up the formatting on the entrys) you will see a whole bunch of lines that begin with delete_recursive, remove the lines with names of the apps you do not want removed. most of this stuff is self explanatory by it's name as to what it is and should be very easy to figure out. when done editing the file, save it. and flash the updated zip in flashfire. it's as simple as that.
Additional Files for those that want them(these are all flashed via flashfire)

Ok here it is: Xposed still works with this new root method, Only one catch, you have to install this before you install any of @OvrDriVE Mods.
If you plan on using Xposed then do not install @OvrDriVE my modifications zip as this will crash your systemui.apk.
As with any custom rom's, root, add-on's, you assume all risks with modding your phone. You have been warned.
Make sure you read all of my directions below, before you start posting errors with the install. Worst case you just have to start over with @OvrDriVE s installation.
Here is the way you can install xposed on your phone after you have root. I in no way have made any files or apks, I am just posting ways you get this loaded on your phone.
Please Thank the devolopers and others that have made all these files and apks possible..
The way to install Xposed framework via FlashFire:
1. Download FlashFire, You can get it from the app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en
2. Download the Xposed Installer Apk: Xposed installer Apk
3. Download the Xposed Framework zip.<<< this is the file that you will be flashing via FlashFire: Xposed Framework.zip
4. Once you have all the files downloaded onto you computer/phone: you are ready to start. If you have'nt all ready copied all the files to your phone storage, do so now. If you did then you can move on to the #5.
5. Open FlashFire on your phone. Once it is loaded and open, click on circle with + button on the bottom right of the screen.
Then Click on Flash ZIP or OTA button.
Now select the xposed framework zip that you downloaded from #3.
Next you click the check mark on the top right of
the screen( do not change any of boxes on the left of the screen.<<< You Have Been Warned!!!!! .
Next scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the left button (flash button w the lighting bolt)
Sit back and watch FlashFire do its magic..
6. After #5 completes, you can now install the xposed installer apk from #2. Once installed open and check framework in the app and you should have this : Xposed framework version 86.1 (custom build by wanam / 2016709 is active.
7. Now go to Download in the xposed installer and download: XTouchWiz 1.1.2 or Wanam Xposed 1.3.0 Made for Samsung Android 5 and 6 Roms by Wanam. You can also download Firefds kit 1.0.5.1 by firefds <<<<< this is just a modified version of XTouchWiz with more stuff added to it.. This works as well on samsung note 7 root method.
8. Once you downloaded it, installed it, then go into the Xposed installer app- modules- you select the the app in #7 by placing a checkmark in the box on the right to activiate the modules.
9. Reboot your phone to activate the module.
10. Enjoy your efforts and customizing your phone:
If you some reason you want to uninstall xposed : flash this:xposed-uninstaller-20160211.zip

Awesome.....finally[emoji106]
Video tutorial could be found in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68831392..... make sure to download correct modified system.rar for your specific carrier.

keep in mind that once you root no payment method will work. however as this does not trip the knox counter. you can odin stock t-mo firmware and samsung pay and android pay will work just fine. you can't have it both ways unfortunately. it's either or

!!!!!!!!

If you guys want Samsung pay....u need to stay stock and use disabler package pro to debloat and like @OvrDriVE said we can't have it all ....either or we gotta give up something. .... but with this breakthrough with root from @freeza.... now WiFi calling and volte work.... we are moving in good direction .... until we all get new note 7 replacement phone in couple week..... happy Labor days guys for people in US.

I am going to watxh this topic. I know alot of work is going on however i want to see how stable it is before i do anything. I can wait no problem. i know we have been hitting roadblocks and until we have an official root method I am perfectly fine without for now... To all the Devs great job now we wait and see if penetration testing and users can do this method of root. Thank you all for your time and hard work!

you can connect but once disconnected you have to unpair the device and repair it for it to work.
