Please tell me you guys aren't doing the above?

Seriously though no idea what you guys are doing... I must have flashed my phone a billion times lol and not bricked it.

Have you all tried getting to download mode? What happens?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salivatx:

Yes I have the US version. Phone will not go to download mode at all. Gonna try to jig it. This is my first droid so im learning. I didnt see where the Omega 6.0 was for international only. You live you learn.

same think happen to my S3 tried to flash DragonICS, seemed like it flashed ok. asked to reboot phone its been off for 2 days already. watched all related S3 unbrick videos/ "jig" method. i ordered mine through amazon bought 4 bucks.

in for updates, mine should be here end of the week.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcspecs:
My jig for my S1 works on my s3 so any galaxy s3 jig will do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrymc:
Yes the jig i bought for my cappi also works on sgs3 BUT it wont clear flashcount.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApophisXP:
To clear flash count on the s3 you need to use flash away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcspecs:
Which is free anyway so i don't know what the issue would be.

This is what worked for me after I flashed the wrong ROM. Immediate download mode and my wife's phone was unbricked. (and I got to sleep in my bed rather than on the couch last night :laugh:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Two things is essential here US galaxy S3 users, DO NOT FLASH FIRMWARE FOR INTERNATIONAL galaxy s3

And second it can take up to 10 MINUTES TO BOOT after flashing rom, themes(whatever) and even though it looks like your stock on Samsung logo,do not interrupt the boot-up process.

And always READ the OP BEFORE flashing.

Hi,

I apologize in advance i know this is not the correct area as my phone is not the international version ..

I have followed the samsung galaxy s3 rooting guide [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Saskte]

and i seemed to have bricked my phone .. it will not turn on nor boot into download mode ( holding the volume down home and pwer buttons ) . I followed the tutorial exactly and everything went perfectly until i entered the "reboot recovery" command at the very last step ..then my phone turned off but did not reboot. Now it will not do anything (not even an led light when plugged into the wall ) . Was i supposed to install busybox before using the terminal emulator to install CMW (recovery.img) ?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJW:
Not to sound snippy, but if I were you at this point, I would edit the post to say something like "nevermind" and then post the question in the correct forum for the phone you have. Those guys would be better able to help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuraba:
unBrick s3

This seemed the best place after much searching on the topic (one needs 10 or more posts to post on the developer section ( where the correct variants of the phone/posts are) So more than likely if someone was in the same situation as me they would eventually get here as well ..so i will post a quick reply that will hopefully be a solution for either phone models or get people pointed in the right direction...

if phone will not boot whatsoever and will not even enter download mode(holding vol-down home and pwr) . you most likely have 3 options

1. a USB-Jig (301kOhm, resistor normally between pin4 and pin5 of the microUSB-port)

2.j-tag repair ... i believe a "riffbox" is compatible with Qualcomm MSM8960 based chipset.

3.hope the store you got it from takes it back...... ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisando:
I don't believe people who don't read blatantly obvious warnings deserve to unbrick their device. In the development forum there is a sticky called "American or Canadian SGS3? Read this before flashing or posting!" which tells everyone to NOT flash their device with these roms, there's another place on this site for that version of the device.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jose_stereo:
Can it be repair?

The problem is that I get my friend to instal custom operating system for me and he failed at it. The phone still boots up and goes to a screen that says "download" or a screen that says "wipe, instal update and few other options". :confused:

[General Questions and Answers] HappyCoincidence:
Hello XDA, I have a rooted (via revolutionary) Evo 3D, which since rooting last night, has been restarting every hour or so. This is the second phone to do so, and I have consulted both XDA and almighty google without finding a working solution.

First, the stats and the questions, so I don't get deleted :)

Phone: Evo 3D CDMA (Shooter)

Carrier: Sprint

HBoot: 1.40.1100 revolutionary

(Current) ROM: Karl's excellent Stock Rooted 2.17.651.5 Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420206

(Current) Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0

Radio: latest official (1.06.00.1216)

Extra apps installed: none, except task killer*

*disabling/uninstalling task killer does not help

1) Does anyone know, or know how to find out, what could cause intermittent rebooting on two different phones, with two different Recoveries and two different system roms?

leading to my second question:

2) revolutionary seems to be the common factor, does anyone know if it leaves any dangly bits behind when done?

-Stuff I've tried-

I have tried different roms and recoveries, tried clearing cache, dalvik-cache, and factory resets, and tried not installing any apps. I have checked battery contacts and power.

-A Little More-

There seems to be no set pattern to the resets. They generally occur every half hour to an hour, regardless of whether the phone is in use or idle, and there are no force closes or errors before it happens. Other than this, the phone works fine. I do not, nor have ever, overclocked or messed with the clock of the phone. Heat likewise does not seem to be the culprit, as it will happen while the phone is idle and quite cool. Neither phone was ever dropped or wet.

I do not believe it to be a hardware problem. This is my second phone to have this problem after rooting. After manifesting, the first phone's problems were not solved by an Unroot + RUU, and I returned it to HTC thinking it defective. I got a beautiful replacement, which worked flawlessly for two months before I worked up the balls to root again. The night I root it, bam, restarts.

So again, for those patient enough to bear with me,

1) Does anyone know, or know how to find out, what could cause intermittent rebooting on two different phones, with two different Recoveries and two different system roms?

2) does anyone know if it revolutionary leaves any errant code behind when done?

I have access to Windows, Linux, and ADB, and can provide any readouts you think may shed light on the subject. Kudos and appreciation to any who can help :fingers-crossed:

I was trying to to replace my Sense 2.1 HTC Messages app with the one on Sense 3.5.

My idea (not a good one..) was to copy all the files from my device with sense 3.5 to the WFS.

I saved the old files and replaced them with the new ones.

It didn't work.

So I replaced them again with the original files I've saved..

The HTC Messages app working fine. BUT,

I lost the messages widget.. which I really liked..

Anyone can help..? Please..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleco:
I have used the Google out of Google

I have used the search button on the forum

I have followed multiple different threads on this forum and have basic knowledge​

I've Noticed that no one has made a MOD for making the menu button a recents button(as is ICS 'Natural'), and I want to try to accomplish this task myself. I have managed to make the menu softkey operate as the recent key by changing the .kl files in /system/usr/keylayout/ to use the key as APP_SWITCH, but that gives me the gingerbread style Recents with only icons. I am hoping to incorporate the Sense 4 style recents into a .zip for a MOD on the forum as I have seen multiple requests for such a mod and I desire one myself.

ANY POINT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION/BIT OF GUIDANCE IS INCREDIBLY APPRECIATED. I'M TRYING EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF!!!!!

I have found this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1450138 and am thinking I need to modify the source code to use the sense 4 style recents for APP_SWITCH.

Is this the right path? Is there a better path to take for this?

Thank you for making my phone(s) awesome and above average. I'm hoping to be contributing right along side you soon!!

Where to turn off fastboot in Cyanogenmod 9? (there is not "power" option in settings)
[General Questions and Answers] dbhuis:
hello everybody,

i have a little annoying problem with my htc hd2. as the title says: i would love the latest version of miui on my htc, but the NAND version won't work, even not after installing the bootloop fix(right after installation) . furthermore: before i installed miui, i wiped data, cache, etc. the weird thing is that the sd version just works, and the nand version either bootloops or as it does now stucks at bootlogo(the MI logo). i would use the sd version, but it gets very slow after 5 minutes of use, and it doesnt do that in nand(i ran an older version of miui which worked perfectly, but thats ofcourse gone now i flashed a new one). so does anyone have an idea? im a little out of ideas and i really want this rom.

ps. i am new here, and english is not my native language-be nice please. also, if you need information about my phone that i forgot to mention: feel free to ask.

thanks in advance!

Question:

its possible to make a flashlight on the softkeys, because my handy lies on the back and so you can not see the torch(camera)-light.

blink-softkeys will be great, because the normaly-led is very small - both together maybe..

Ok so i got the 2.3.5 soak test installed awhile ago and wanted to try to go back to 2.3.4 so after going through the forums i found a way to use recovery with bootstrap so then i went and installed the Stock-rooted-198_7 that loki posted and now my mopho turns on with no motorola logo it only says failed to boot 1 starting rsd protocol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I'd hate to tell you this but you are LOCKED. The bad part is you need to flash a Locked ROM but without access to bootstrap it's going to be a problem. Try this;

battery pull

power on holding down the volume down button

pray to the phone spirits for "fastboot" to show up

Post you results
[Motorola Photon 4G] willistheyounger:
yes i can get it to fast boot but i have no idea what to do
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:

Oh, while you are waiting, download this root-unlock-relock pack. It's going to have the driver files and software you will need for me to walk you through this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willistheyounger:
i already have it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Extract the zip I pm'd you and place "system.img" it in the "Unlock" folder of the root-unlock-relock

Download and extract RDL3_unlocked.smg and place it in the "Unlock" folder

Boot phone while holding down the volume down button

When you see "fastboot" on the phone's screen hit volume up

Connect the phone to your computer

In the "Unlock" folder, double click the "command prompt" shortcut

Enter the following commands

moto-fastboot flash rdl.bin RDL3_unlocked.smg

moto-fastboot devices

moto-fastboot erase system

moto-fastboot flash system system.img

moto-fastboot reboot

If this does not work I'm not sure where to go at this point. There is no 2.3.5 "update.zip" or SBF that you could flash right now. You may very well have to get a replacement.

I'm not going to be able to help beyond this point as I killed my battery with no way to charge it so we both may be SOL

I don't see a moto-fastboot oem unlock in there after devices and shouldn't it be moto-fastboot erase recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
So unlocked RAMloader exploit is a fail. The only other thing I could think of is SBF a 2.3.5 engineering build? If that won't work then yes you have bricked until we get a full update zip or SBF for this.

Again. Don't feel bad as I'm now (hopefully only) softbricked with a dead battery and no charger.

You are thinking about unlocking. This is dealing with bricked 2.3.5

Its really not that big of a deal i can go to sprint and have them get me another one i mainly use my epic touch
[Motorola Photon 4G] willistheyounger:
but if you can help me out it would be better because then i wont have to make something up
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I'm bricked because battery died during flashing in fastboot and will be without a phone for at least a couple days.

Unless the policy has changed recently, it doesn't matter. If you have the service coverage they simply replace it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willistheyounger:
Oh **** man now i feel bad
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
It's all good. It's my fault for not buying and external charger when I got rid of my dev photon.

yea whats worse for me i just ordered 2 cases a extra battery a car dock and should get it tuesday
[Motorola Photon 4G] maxon_yalta:
Maybe a solution to this problem is flashing electrify 2.3.5 sbf, just to get the phone working.

But then you will be stuck with electrify.
