I am not sure the internal "fuse" is set up to allow people some chance :)

I believe it is a one shot only sw "fuse", that's why I asked for a brand new device, one with the original manufacturer firmware and never rooted/unlocked.

Thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] DominikB:
Hi all, i am hoping for some assistance in decoding/working out where the SIM lock is held in the radio of my Japanese Sharp 005SH (Android 2.3.4, Snapdragon processor). Putting another carriers sim just shows a USIM-MEP screen, and no possibility of entering an unlock code like many other Android phones.

The Japanese hacking community have managed to get full root, unlock the NAND and also a secondary Miyabi LSM lock, but they are unwilling to discuss removing the SIM lock (somewhat taboo here or something)

However on repeated requests, they have written a kernel which allows me to get a dump of the raw data in the radio NAND chip, and given me the hint that using QualcommDumpAnalyser, it should be able to be found. "Qualcomm NAND programming isnt particularly unique or difficult, so if you know how that works, you should be able to work it out"

Unfortunately i dont.

I have the dump of the radio (a 100mb img file), and QualcommDumpAnalyser, but not sure where to go from there. Opening the dump file in a hex editor doesnt give any obvious clues - no mention of LOCK, USIM, MCC/MNC, or even my IMEI.

Is there someone who can give me some clues on how to proceed from here? I can supply the radio dump if required

Does this mean I have Vodafone UK official firmware installed?, I am confused as when I reinstalled the firmware, it came up German as default language, etc. once i changed it to UK everything seems fine but I want to make sure for warranty purposes its Vodafone UK. If you need any more info just let me know. But I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out,

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaniel:
You should be golden. The firmware is the same for European countries which have vodafone as a provider, e.g. Germany AND of course the UK.

You can verify this is the original vodafone firmware by going to Play Store > Apps - there should be a small icon named "Recommended by Vodafone". Also, you should be able to pay for apps via your vodafone phone plan.

EDIT: I have exactly the same firmware on my phone, and it's definitely a vodafone officiall fw, because I can use my mobile plan to buy apps, which does not work on any unbranded firmwares. This is the only reason I stick with this firmware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch12ag:
Thanks! I cant seem to find that icon though recommended by vodafone, do you know where abouts it could be at all?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaniel:
Should look like this. But then again, this is in Germany, might be completely different in Britain, mate...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch12ag:
Thanks! I know what you mean now, unfortunately I do not have it :S not sure what I need to install to have it. I didnt install a new kernel file when I updated the firmware, could this be the problem at all? and how would I install it if it is that with odin
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaniel:
I do not think that the kernel's the problem. See, the kernel is included in the tar-file you flashed and matches that particular firmware exactly. Might be you Brits do not get that vodafone icon in Play Store at all (just a wild guess).

Have you checked for any Vodafone apps (MyWeb, Music Shop, etc.)? They're real easy to spot, as they are all themed red and silver.

But in my opinion you needn't worry about not having an official fw. I checked my own phone, and everything matches the data you posted here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch12ag:
Yea i have all the other apps including myvodafone, etc. and they all work fine. maybe you're right. but i think i remember seeing it before I rooted it. yea hopefully it'll be ok just wanted to check it all of those details match a UK Vodafone phone. It seems to match yours but yours is german right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaniel:
True, but it's the same firmware vodafone distributes for many many European countries. They don't make one firmware for Great Britain, one for the Netherlands, one for Germany etc. I copied the text below from samfirmware.com. As you can see, all of Europe gets the same software exactly. No worries, you're on the right firmware :laugh:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vasu1:
does lowering cpu frecuency(means doing min less then 245 or doing 122) has effect on cpu like overclocking effects cpu i.e damaging cpu???
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
No, but setting a low max freq will not do much good.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kirakun:
What min frequency do u suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
U can set the lowest possible freq as min freq, it does not matter but it might lag when unlocking phone from sleep or when u receive a call.

If u want to underclock it u can set it in 400 range, but i prefer 600.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhMrBigshot:
Hi. I rooted my sister's Galaxy S i9000, using the same methods I used mine (Odin, same kernels, etc.). Don't remember exactly which.

Problem is, her phone CONSTANTLY force closes everything (messaging, google services, browser, almost EVERY app).

And I mean, that's after wiping data, reinstalling the ROM. It happened on several mods: ICS MR1, MIUI v3, PilotX, CM7/9. Always. After one or two days of usage, she had to wipe everything. Even without restoring faulty apps or something like that, it would only take around 2-3 days for her to need to redo everything.

Now, I'm lost and I can't find what to do. Will changing partitions, kernels, anything like that help? What should I use? Any idea as to why this happens?

Note my phone was rooted and is running exactly the same kernel/software, but this never happens to me. I don't know what to do! Help! She's super pissed at me and she can't get any tech support because we voided the warranty by rooting.

Please I'm lost ):

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pac-Man:
First of all, I recommend to you that you flash again a clean stock rom (no mods, no custom kernels, just a stock rom). I know it's awful but it's for trying purposes.

If after 2 days it's still happening maybe it's time to install a kernel and format /system, /data and /cache directly. Else try installing CM9 latest nightly and keep it 2 days again :)

I think it's problem with the installation, but I can't be more helpful than now.

Tell us if problem is solved with this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhMrBigshot:
I'm not sure reinstalling Stock would work. Also it would give me two problems: I can't (already tried) finding a Stock i9000 ROM & Kernel with Hebrew available as a locale (my sister is 14. She knows ok English but I can't keep her with it on her phone for too long), as pre ICS did not have Hebrew built-in.

Two, I'm in the army and I have little time to be at home, meaning if this doesn't work she'll be forced to use that ROM for about two weeks minimum. I'm really hoping I could partition better or something like that which might be more dependable and a more valid, "trusted" solution..

I will keep this an option though, if I find no other solution before I get home, thanks!

[Galaxy S III General] zondakaka:
GUYS,

PLEASE BEWARE, the Galaxy S3 is no where as sturdy as the S1 which i previously owned or a S2.

Today it just fell off from my pocket and see what happened to the screen :-(

I had dropped my previous S1 a million times in the period of 2 years and not a single scratch

I am going to give it in on warranty, pathetic stuff from samsung

please everyone take care and use a casing.
[Galaxy S III General] alias_neo:
Yikes

That's annoying. Hope you get it fixed mate.

I wonder if Samsung does that dirty trick of logging out the G sensor to detect whether it's been dropped or not and not accept warranty repairs based on it.
[Galaxy S III General] zondakaka:
It was all fine after the drop. I used it for about 30 min. Then when i woke up in the morning, the screen was like this
[Galaxy S III General] zondakaka:
it was a very subtle drop, this is pathetic quality and should be covered under manufacturer defect
[Galaxy S III General] manemzjum:
Warranty don't cover clumsiness

G-sensor isn't a dirty trick to see if phone is dropped its proof

Sending back for warranty repairs saying you didn't drop it is a dirty trick

If you drop your phone a million times I strongly suggest phone insurance and a otter box case
[Galaxy S III General] zondakaka:
then they should say that this phone is made out of glass.

ITs a phone its supposed to be able to take such small hicups
[Galaxy S III General] Joshnz:
Suck it up man.

Don't drop so much money on something so epic if you can't take care of it.

Phone aren't made for dropping.
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
To be fair, its pretty reasonable to expect that someone would at some point in a two year period drop a device that they will likely be carrying about with them ALL the time and removing it from and replacing it in their pocket frequently.

Just yesterday my s3, having only got it on monday, slid off the arm of my sofa because every surface of it is glassy smooth and bounced off the edge of a wooden table. Luckily it was unscathed but it is not unreasonable to expect a device of this nature to be able to withstand such an accident.

There is a certain amount of luck involved here though because obvioisly even the lightest tap at the right angle and position could shatter a screen.
[Galaxy S III General] Khizar:
Agree with the last line if you are prone to dropping the phone alot you should definitely get a otterbox.

If i am paying this amount of money for a phone i would expect it to survive a fall or 2.

In the 6 months that i had my S2 i dropped it twice and Thank GOD nothing happened to it.. i am careful with my phone but in the end i am just human and it is quite possible for the phone to fall.
[Galaxy S III General] Tachikoma_kun:
Do you want a slim sexy phone that is fragile, or do you want a sturdy phone like this?

Also try playing cricket and catching ball you'll develop better grip and control over things you hold in your hands ;)
[Galaxy S III General] frog67:
With today's technology and what it costs is the minimum that can withstand drops of at least 50 cm like my RAZR:cool: .........
[Galaxy S III General] Slicktune:
If im not mistaken it seems as if all the white ones are the ones with the faulty issues... the cracked screens, the exploding phone, dead screen... dont you think that might be the reason they're releasing the white at a later time? to perfect it a lil more...i read something where that they had to redo the pebble blue because of some issues and maybe they're redo'ing the white version...hmmm makes sense....:good:
[Galaxy S III General] setspeed:
Unlucky mate, hope it gets fixed. I am fairly certain that my phone is going to get dropped sooner or later, simply because it's so big (even more so in a case) that I can't hold it securely in one hand and operate it properly at the same time.

Tbh I'm going to keep hold of it until the rumoured multiple Nexuses come out later in the year and then maybe sell it on to get something slightly smaller.
[Galaxy S III General] redbearde:
no. I think since the pebble blue was delayed due to Samsung's color issue, the bulk of what was immediately available were the white phones. Then when a few units had problems, they happened to be white.
[Galaxy S III General] Kingybear:
My white one fell out of my hoody jacket as I was running for the bus, I was lucky that it landed on the cement, not the grass or I wouldn't have noticed it. Three corners have massive damage and there paint scraped off, it really did hit the ground hard. But the screen is perfect :)
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
looks like some alien robot :D
[Galaxy S III General] giftedgiggsy11:
...or how about something that does both like the Galaxy S2 :rolleyes:

I agree that if you drop your phone you only have yourself to blame if it breaks but having said that i also believe a device like this should be able to withstand some drops, they managed it with the S1 & the S2.

My advice would be to get it insured and get a case of any description, something is better than nothing, even if it's only a pouch!
[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
Did you even read two comments above yours?

[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
The phone is very light and all its weight is in the front. So think about it. When dropping it, the laws of physics say it is goign to drop on its glass.

I don't think ti's GG2,it's where the phone's center of gravity is and how it will fall.

The only thing I can think of is getting a case to counter balance and have it more likely fall on its corners.
[Galaxy S III General] jody2k:
Screen is very fragile, on my first day use without screenprotector i had immediatly a deep scratch! I wasnt expecting that from gorilla glass 2.

[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
I REALLY wonder what you were doing that created a deep scratch, since the scratch tests on youtube show that the knives werent even creating scratches in the s3's screen.
[Galaxy S III General] chilipalm:
Yes, what did you do to get this kind of scratch.

Also, Otter Box cases are great. So are Speck cases. I've dropped my phones a few times on concrete with either case and zero problems. Well worth the cost, even the $30 ones.
[Galaxy S III General] jody2k:
Not much i just had it in my pocket did nothing special thats the weird thing :) also no keys or other things near it
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
Dropped my siii 5 times already. Screen is flawless. All while holding the phone up to text so they are nicr drops. Phone is still perfect less they uglyness on they bumper that came from All they drops.
[Galaxy S III General] Captain Star:
Don't blame Samsung, you should be more careful with your expensive electronic device. It's bad luck that your screen happened to fail after a waist-high drop, but it shouldn't have been unexpected.
[Galaxy S III General] Sniper_5:
It seems( looking at all the drop tests) the phone is far more picky than most. Weather it will survive a fall is a crap shoot guess. I for one will be unwillingly dropping the money for an Otter Box case. I simply don't trust it. My Motorola Droid, and Droid X have both faired a ton of drops. Cement, grass, hard and soft floors, automotive coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, water, oil etc. The paint is pealing, its scratched, and lightly dented. Screen is still flawless though. Its not because I can't care for a phone, its because I knew it would take the abuse, and I hate cases. The S3 will get a case, and be babied as best I can though. I think part of the problem is the screen size. Being such a large display, and not having the bezel lip make it far more prone to breakage. Take a 1"x1" piece of glass and drop it, then drop a window. Which will break faster?

[Galaxy S III General] Aimara:
why dont use a protective case , considering the price of the phone , a small price to pay for a case
[Galaxy S III General] Sniper_5:
I keep my phones in my side pocket on my carpenter pants, a case typically makes the phone stick to the inside of my pockets making it a PITA to get out, and when I buy a thin phone, it's not so I can bloat it back up with a case. Also, for those complaining of so many black phones, does it really matter if your just gonna throw a case on it? Color choice is moot at that point.

OP has a point - a phone should last, especially with its advertised gorilla glass and what not.

Take it back for warranty, tell them it's manufacturers defect - you don't need to explain to those "geniuses" at samsung how it happened, just say:

I totally agree that the cost of the phone it should withstand the odd drop its life. my kids play with mine but so far only dropped once i have a black rubber casing on cost £3.00 from flee bay which might have helped it survive but i believe in the insurance. £10.00 a month might be steep but having to pay £400 plus for a replacement is even steeper!

Been lurking here trying to decide whether or not to purchase this device. I can easily say I've now seen enough to make me pass on it.

Pretty frustrating, cause I really like the phone.
