Samsung i747---- can unbrick it but phone does not open.

Was able to unbrick the ATT SG3 but the phone keeps on restarting (with vibrations) after the Samsung logo appears.. I believe there is no ROM inside it...

MsKip (MARK) we are all counting on you..atleast meee...:(

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

Yes I tried that..my phone restarts itself now after the samsung logo appears..does not go beyond that..Please help!!!

Thanks in Advance:eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] The Kurgan:
I was rooted and clockworked, then i tried to flash "hypergalaxy rom" through clockwork and just a few seconds into the flash it said it aborted.. So I rebooted the phone, and now I get NOTHING..

I've tried booting into download mode, clockwork, no signs of visible life.. just audible life when i plug in the usb to the comp, but it then makes that sound like it didnt connect..

Any help would be great.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] masonjoe69:
You are also in the same boat...all we can do now is wait for the AT&T i747 stock rom or custom rom created by developers for the i747.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] The Kurgan:
^^ When that does get released, what do we do with it? Odin3 doesn't detect the phone, Keis doesn't detect it.. kinda in mild worried mode.

Also, my battery was at about 15% before I tried to flash the ROM (which is why i wanted to flash in the first place because it got there so fast..), and now it seems that the phone won't even take a charge, is it possible the battery is too low to do anything?

What sucks is that even though this maybe my first appearance on this forum, I'm not a complete newb, I've had GS2 and OneX rooted and all without issues, and time I think i may have screwed the pooch.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] masonjoe69:
What does your screen exactly show when you on your phone ? Does the samsung logo appears on it followed by samsung SIII logo ? Or does it says that you have to update from Kies ?

And about the release of the stockrom..we dont know..we are waiting for the leak or the developers to come out with a working ROM for victims like us :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ferris2375:
Why the hell would you flash a ROM for a different version of this phone, or even try another procedure for a phone that's not yours. Weird.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] The Kurgan:
See previous "screwed the pooch" statement. I didn't think it all the way through and am deeply regretting it now obviously.

Like I said before, I currently have no visible signs of life coming from the phone, no boot logos, no download mode, no LEDs, nothing.

The ONLY thing its doing is my computer makes the sound that a USB device has been initially plugged in, but it soon after makes that triple "bom bom bom" sound like it couldn't connect with the device.

Anywho, getting a little worried over here, I honestly thought I could have wiggled my way out of this brick by now, but its doesn't even appear to be charging..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] masonjoe69:
If you hear the voice when you plug in the phone to PC that means the PC is recognizing some external device..I think you should charge it through external power supply first..

Take some advice from the senior developers like Mark (MSKIP)..they might be able to guide you more

If nothing works, you always can go to the store and tell them that your phone is a defective piece..act dumb in front of them..they will surely exchange it for you..

GT-I9300 Bricked JTAG Solution

There is just 1 way to recover dead S3, check this out

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] masonjoe69:
Appreciate your help but we need the solution and recovery for Galaxy S3 i747 model, your link shows us about the Galaxy S3 i9300 model.. Do you have anything on the i747 model ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] The Kurgan:
I believe that the JTAG process is the only hope for restoring this brick, I found a couple places that confirmed it can be done for $50, such as mobiletechvideos.com and a reputable local cell phone repair shop. If this in fact the only resort other than replacing outright, then this is something I have to put pride aside and let a pro take over. Better than $100 deductible right?

Just my opinion of the matter, I hope others see this and can learn from my mistake..

I just received this in the mail and I was wondering where do I start in terms of formating format and allocation size? Also, how would I check its true capacity and transfer rates?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RMXO:
put it in the phone & let it format for you, it formats exFAT but I was using a 64GB card. Not sure if it does FAT32 if using a 32gb or smaller sd card. If you need FAT32 then use linux or Windoze to format it & I always "default" for allocation size.

When my SGS3 was started up or opened the screen ,It has pop-up message " BroadcomMEMsService has stopped " .What is that means seem nothing happen to my SGS3 only it disturbed me to "OK" to get rid that message. Thank you

This takes a lot of battery and my battery life has significantly improved after I froze this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Ya I'm not 100% certain but glonass and a-gps may be separate to "normal" GPS so you would still lock on to the "normal" satellites.

Theoretically anyway.

The poster said it was to control some bcm(some numbers) chip and it was a-gps and glonass. He sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

Hello

I think it has to do with the weather widget.

I disabled the Current City: Enable to show location information.

And manually added my city, now the broadcom service has dissapered.

Sry for bad english :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Weather widget gets location from....... GPS/glonass/a-gps.

Broadcom doesn't make weather Widgets, it makes wireless chips, Bluetooth, wifi, GPS etc.

U cant see this popup anymore, but your problem isnt over.

When you need A-GPS or Glonass again you shall face this error again.

It seems some system file are corrupted; only a full wipe or other rom can solve this, I think.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VictorC666:
After six months without this problem, yesterday, I run into same problem, you describe - "BroadcomMEMsService has stopped", its really strange... Yesterday I installed only these updates - QuickPic, franco.Kernel.Updater, Change Hostname, Sleep as Android, IM+ Pro, nothing more... But even after uninstalling these updated, error doesn stoped... So I dont really know, why this is happenning. In detailed error message I can see: java null exception error 29

So I tried to froze this service, and error is gone, and GPS is still working. I need to do more tests, If I can find if anythig was affected by frozing this service... but up to now, everything is working...

will the HD2 still run WP8 or is our hardware that old? what would be the minimum phone that can run WP8? :silly:

WP7 is rally fast in the HD2 & it runs really well, i hope the same can be said for wp8.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jc61990:
If you currenty own a Windows phone, it can NOT run windows phone 8, thats it.

You must buy a new phone with windows phone 8 on it.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
why did u say that? hd2 is a legend. born as wp6.5 device, got android port and now upto 4.0.4, lol it is one of the device that actually run 4.0.4 before any other official updates. and it have fully working wp7.5 tango running on it. and is 8779.8 version update( lol i m not sure if any official updates have gone so far). and i am not planning to mention other os's that runs on hd2.

the only thing that hd2 lacks is current dual/quad cores and gpu's. any how it have a descent cpu of 1ghz single core ( functions flawless upto 1.5 ghz oc) and enough gpu to run wp7.5 pretty fast( even hd7 wont run that much fast).

and i am dam sure hd2 will be running wp8 pretty soon.. ( may be before any official wp8 device!!!!!!!)

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 433Mhz:
I seriously doubt it. The devs have moved on to new devices.

Maybe they'll try to port it but it would be a ton of hard work because they switched from Windows CE to Windows 8 kernel. Also, WP7 only got ported because some drivers from Microsoft got "leaked" since Microsoft were using the HD2 to develop WP7 anyway.

But hey, never say never!

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morpheuszg:
We won't see WP8 for the venerable HD2 because of the simple fact that WP8 has a new kernel. So you would have to rewrite every driver of each hardware component like CPU, Radio, GPU, Wifi, Bluetooth etc. And I really doubt someone will accomplish that.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjun Haritsa:
Guys Just relax,There's DFT ;)

I belive there will be a new MAGLDR version when wp8 is on the way of HD2.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonCrisp:
Yes the HD2 has been seen running test versions of WP8.

The important question is whether it will be possible to flash it in such a way to make it run on the HD2 once WP8 is out.

MS is very keen on the secure boot feature of the new snapdragon chips which is partly why we won't see WP8 for our current devices.

I hope someone with more knowledge can elaborate on this´.

The chip is called TPM which will be responsible for the secure boot procedure.

Hey guys, do you think it is worth to buy a HD2 now? I really miss the WM, but I like the WP too, mostly because I already got used with it.

Can the HD2 dual-boot WM and WP? Would not be kinda late to buy one?

Since my 200Mhz Gene is almost useless, and my Lumia won't be upgraded to WP8 anyway, I thought it is a good ideia. What you think?

Thanks.

Absolutely. It's one of the best Windows mobile 6 devices, and it also runs Android (as a joke, you can even run WM7 on it, but the worst part of censorship is *******************).

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willgill:
And it actually shipped with WM5.x... At least my Telstra HD2 I bought for AT&T did. It's probably the most versatile phone ever made.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatclue:
The OP asks if the HD2 can possibly run WP8. In case you weren't paying attention before launching your tirade, the HD2 is a Windows MOBILE device. As in, started life as a WM6.1 phone and is the only device that has been modified to run Android AND WP7 successfully. It is not a stretch to think that some clever devs will try to do it, purely for ****s and giggles. Forget about different kernels and any other obstacles, that is irrelevant. Being able to proclaim "I did it!" is satisfaction enough.

Good thing hackers don't all think like you, there would never have been an xda.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessijames:
i remember that when WP7 launched,,some ppl said "WP7 wont work on HD2 cuz hardware stuck, new file structure bla bla bla,,, " ,, now when i see ppl talking about WP8 wont work on HD2 cuz new kernel and bla bla,, its being funny... This is XDA,, dont be precise when you talking about "hacking"... i am sure if XDA devs want to make it works on HD2 they will do it,, remember Android and WP7 on HD2 process.. yes devs move to new devices,, yes HD2 is pretty old,, but HD2 is a legend,, i can tell that some devs gonna try just because its HD2... wm6.5 wp7 and android,, why not WP8??
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surya467:
Because WP8 is a completely different OS, altogether.

Giving it to current devices as a scaled version as 7.8 is the most they could do.

Now, its a OS, proper modding and changes could get it to the HD2 or even the current devices, except the GPU rendering, its too much for a single core.

The most you will get is the HS and integrated stuff, you wont be able to play the games WP8 devices can play!

this is still a 50:50 thought.

Did anyone see this?

My understand is the Windows RT Slate comes with a full version of MS Office. How can anyone compare this to a Kindle Fire? Why is it that any time MSFT introduces something people say all sorts of bizarre things about it but with Apple they will pay any price for subpar hardware?
[Windows 8 General] luizmeme:
In my opinion, the RT version shouldn't cost more than the iPad. It's a new product and there aren't as many apps as there are on iPad.
[Windows 8 General] luigi90210:
I disagree with you, any windows rt tablets should cost about as much as android tablets fall into while the Intel tablets should cost about the same as some of the higher end ipads

right now windows 8 has about as many apps as android tablets do when it comes to metro apps but if you're running an Intel based tablets you have desktop apps and games along side of metro apps and games
[Windows 8 General] djnata:
good price,lets see if they include office.
[Windows 8 General] tricsio:
The competition is ON but please le's not get ahead of ourselves. Microsoft already has their pricing range set. The Kindle or iPad have different hardware set Compairing different things here. It's all about what you prefer and can afford!

[Windows 8 General] sitizenx:
Who needs a bunch of apps if the OS is built correctly?

What would you rather have Words With Friends or a full blown version of Office on your tablet? Furthermore I believe IE10 will have flash support built in. I notice a lot of Apps are there because tablets and phones can't use a lot of websites correctly. What would you rather have a full blown working browser or a clutter of apps?

I can't leave my laptop at home and travel with any of the major tablets. I need Office, Photoshop, and a full blown browser. I hate it when I get on the reservation page of a hotel and the tablet can't pull it up correctly. I can't book or cancel rooms half the time on that thing. You've got to get an app for that. So annoying. Seriously I just looked at the start menu of my desktop and besides the built in stuff that comes with Windows 7 I have Office, Photoshop, Adobe reader, VLC, Firefox, and pretty much nothing else.
[Windows 8 General] luigi90210:
you cant rely on office so heavily, that's why windows mobile failed but i do agree with you, this will be one of the first productive tablets instead of the play ones, but they need to make IE faster, after using IE10 on my tab i have to say it sucks just as much as all the other IE versions did, now im just playing the waiting game for google to fix their touch support in the chrome browser before i make the switch to using chrome
[Windows 8 General] sitizenx:
I'm not "relying on office so heavily." Plus office on any small phone screen has limited utility. Office on a Surface is a whole different matter. You have a full keyboard and trackpad. You even have a USB port so you can use a mouse. On the Pro Surface you can even run photoshop. My point is I can leave everything at home and just take a Surface and my Windows Phone on a trip and I am set. Office, Photoshop, Acrobat, and Firefox cover 95% of my computing needs. I don't need a million and one apps. If I need to check weather, stock quotes, news, etc I can just go online. I have a full keyboard and mouse if I wish.

I could never go on a trip with just an ipad and a phone. No way. I've been burned too many times. Comparing a Surface which is a fully functional machine to an ipad which is an expensive glorified toy is ridiculous.

I'm into music production, I can have the full version of my music software on the 86 version that's gonna change things alot. My friend who is a producer he has two iPads and is getting a third one, that are loaded with every music app you get but the still has to use his desktop or laptop to get any work done, I'll be able to do it with one device.
[Windows 8 General] ustudio:
Plus people are forgetting that there's gonna be many more windows slates out other than ms some may have even better specs the ms surface has, hp,Dell,etc. This is gonna be the death of the desktop year, no one is gonna get a desktop because the surface devices can work as full computer the 86 version has a mini port , an the rt has a HD video port, plus all the other stuff
[Windows 8 General] lseidman:
The surface RT will NEVER be as low or lower than $199. You'd be lucky to see it under $599. Remember, it will out spec the other Tablet/Slates in the market and surely outdo the iPad. Microsoft is sick of being screwed and laughed at, they're now going to show the MFG's what the mean when they said you need to do this and that (spec wise).

[Windows 8 General] luigi90210:
for 599 i can buy a windows 32bit tablet and an android tablet, microsoft isnt stupid so i know it wont be priced that high for the rt tablet, they need to compete with ipads remember, and just cause it out specs and out does the ipad doesnt mean people will buy it, android tabs are already cheaper and faster than the ipad but the ipad still out sells android tablets(not including ereaders)

---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 AM ----------

i dont think microsoft is going after android as much as they are going after the ipad

android tablets are cost effective because android is a free OS while windows is licensed to manufactures, if its anything i think the cheapest windows rt tablet will cost around 250-290 depending on specs which tbh isnt outrageous

[Windows 8 General] jasongw:
People who think it needs to cost LESS than $199 are smoking crack. It needs no such thing.

What it DOES need to do is be priced competitively with entry level iPad, which means around $399-499 for the ARM version. The Intel version can get away with ultrabook pricing because, well, it's basically an ultrabook--just with a badass design :).

Now that we've seen the Nexus 7 Android tablet at $199 with similar guts to the RT version (as long as we assume the RT version will be Tegra 3) but with a smaller screen, but with more features, it's fair and safe to say that we should expect reasonable pricing for Surface on Windows RT.

But with that said, I don't expect Surface, even in ARM version, to be the cheapest Windows 8 tablet. I believe we'll see third parties offering less expensive--probably more cheaply built, too--Windows RT tablets. How low will they go?

Well, I guess only time will tell. On the bright side, MS has been very smart with the development of both Windows 8 and Surface--they won't fall into the lawsuit trap that Android makers have with Apple.

guys u need to remmember that u pay some cash for the windows OS.When u buy a laptop with installed windows in it it u pay around 200$ (in Bulgaria) for the licence more compared to a laptop or pc without OS.So im 100% sure that the cost of the RT version will be will be included in the tablet so lets hope that the OS is around 70% so the tablet can be priced around 250 300$.I think that the RT version starting from 250 300$ is a pretty good price.About the win8 pro i gues 700/800$ +
