Lol..carriers lock frequencies, make modifications to bootloader images ,add software's...must be pretty ****ty company which can't even remove *tampered*from your bootloader. And you think they are so dumb that they don't even have a clue about this? Time to wake up bro , time to wake up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
He's within the 30 day window and the $35 restocking fee will cover the costs of undoing what little he did to it.

It's not like he hard-bricked the phone screwing around with it and then tried to get warranty coverage for his now non-functional purchase. I agree the latter (which I've seen people doing here) is a problem.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
If the boot loader was easily unlocked, (like the Galaxy Nexus), it would also be easier to relock, and thus, require less work from employees/carriers, no?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
I have problems with rooting or unrooting my Maxxed Droid Razr.

I had leak ICS rooted. I downgraded to GB(rooted) and sideloaded official .211. Tried to restore root with OTA RootKeeper. My phone showed SU icon and asked permission to run OTA Rootkeeper I did allow the permission everything looked good. I tried to check the root root checker but it does not show that my phone is rooted.

I tried DroidRazrUtility 1.6 to root it again but it fails all the time saying that files already exists. Then I tried to unroot but it said that my phone does not have root.

I tried to get back to GB but it did not work. Just stuck on boot loop. Sideloaded the ICS .211 and SU icon was gone and no root at all. I did couple master resets with deleting all the internal and sd storage. Still no luck.

Now I can not root my phone. Any ideas how to get the root back.

Appreciation "Thank you" will be given to anyone who tries to help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Download unstuck ics 211. Flash the .85 kernel then root using matts utility 1.6 then use unstuck again to flash the .211 kernel back to the phone. There's a tutorial for it online in better detail
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:

Has anyone had problems with Flipboard where the whole screen turns white when you flip pages? I noticed that in the official version that was just released.

Running MIUI 2.4.20.
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Nope.

I just started using it last night. Not sure if I like it better than pulse though...
[Galaxy S III General] sargasso:
Coming from the s1 which has a little ridge on the edge I truly like the tactical sensation of the curvature of the glass when swiping pages.

I held my s1 today to charge it - as it is currently used as an alarm clock - and it felt strangely small.

I guess the s3 is starting to become the norm for me, anything slower is obsolete.

My 2c
[Galaxy S III General] cydiamante:
Ive come from the S1 as well and after a couple of weeks usung the S3, the S1 feels small and so slow :). Galaxy S3 is the best phone in the world right now.
[Galaxy S III General] Scared27:
I think the curved screen (convex) is one of the best things about the phone. It makes it so nice to hold and use.
[Galaxy S III General] As2O:
i love the curved screen but its pretty hard to put on screen protectors perfectly ):
[Galaxy S III General] valerio.tosti:
you don't need a screen protector on the sgs3, i have it now 1 month with keys, money in the same pocket and no scratches!

with the sgs2 i had scratches after 1 week!
[Galaxy S III General] Frostfree:
I've had all 3 Galaxy phones without any screen protection and never had a scratch on any, however there's an element of good fortune and common sense in this, basically if you're careless enough and in the wrong circumstances you'll get scratches regardless of what gorilla glass variant you have.

Bottom line is that screens are scratch resistant, not scratch proof, but having said that I also love the curved edges
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Had the S1 (still have it), then the S2 (sold when I got the S3), and must say the S3 is the most beautiful of all. The curved glass makes it look very modern.
[Galaxy S III General] sargasso:
My s1 is full of scratches after two years of abuse. Most if not all of them disappear when the screen turns on.

The back of the s3 I gave a nano coating and it is now smooth beyond comprehension. I have not dared to do the front, afraid to damage the original glass coating.

Hello, I have just bought the One X for 2 days and I have noticed a strange problem of battery.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Have you tried even searching for answers? If not you should, and do some research first. Doing some stupid stuff with your phone can have some consequences.

Follow these steps below (read first before doing it):

1. If you want to be on the safe side you can backup your files and put them in your computer. You can use an app in the market or you can do it yourself (Copy and pasting).

[OPTIONAL]2. You can factory data reset your phone to remove bad stuff when rooting. But its up to the user, I had paranoia since I bricked my first SGS4G.

3. We can now start the rooting process. You can go and download superoneclick: shortfuse[.org]/?page_id=2

4. When downloaded extract those files somewhere inside a folder.

(Just to let those people that have been living under the rock, SOC auto installs drivers)

5. If you have Windows 7 or Vista, you have to run it as an administrator.

6. Once SOC is up and running, DO NOT CHANGE ANY DAMN THING!

7. Go grab your phone, go into Settings > Application > Development > Check ON USB debugging. While in settings go unmount your SD card. This is a crucial step!

8. Go grab your USB wire, plug your phone and plug the other end of the wire to the computer, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE PHONE! Just leave it as it is.

9. If Windows gets a pop-up message in the bottom saying "Installing device..." let it finish.

10. It's time to root and time is not always predictable, close all programs in your computer so it doesn't take up processing. Click "Root" in SuperOneclick, it should start the rooting process, if for some reason it "Stops Responding" DON'T TOUCH A DAMN THING! Let it do it's work! If its not responding its probably sleeping or overwhelmed with Zerglings! That is normal!

11. When its finished go live happily ever after. It's a good idea to let the phone rest for 10 minutes since I assure you, the phone will lag.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NewKlNGjames:
Maybe I'm wrong... been s long time since I rooted... can't you just run 1 click gremlin? Way easier
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Im sure it would work. However people need to be comfortable with doing it. Handing them a fish sandwich when they ask how to fish is counter-productive.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
I agree! That's how come I was so confused and stupid when I first found this site. I followed a video tut for rooting, and they just showed you everything to click with d/l links and all. They never bothered to explain ANYTHING. I was lost as hell.

OP, you look to be in the same boat so if you would like to know what all I did after I rooted and how I got to start learning, search for a thread called "Followed a video tut for rooting"

What is the process of to use a custom Rom when S is on

With s-on you need to flash the boot.img (kernel) via fastboot and flash the rom via recovery. Here is a good thread to read

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 0anth:
The link ronnie498 is actually a good guide. But basically put, you need to unlock the bootloader, then flash a custom recovery. ROMs are then installed via the custom recovery. It's all in the guide though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
I made the mistake of flashing a custom rom to a friend's S-ON HTC Raider. The rom worked but Wifi wouldn't turn on. I'm going to start all over and do the kernel flash first, then immediately install the custom rom. Fingers crossed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
... Then push the bcmdhd.ko...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
Thanks

After pushing the bcmdhd.ko to /system/lib/modules, do permissions have to be set (to 644) ?

And then after that is done, should i do a data/cache/dalvik wipe?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kydkupa:
I flashed a tmo rom, and didnt know that the dev left the modem.bin in the rom. Is there a way to get phone back working with att, cuz right now it says that i need a sim in order to use the phone.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kulzboy:
There should be a modem somewhere you can request it from your fellow AT&T users. Just flash the zip or tar file then that should fix it
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
This is exactly why im hesitant to flash anything not for my specific carrier.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kydkupa:
Yea i was testing to see if i cld. Did a nandroid and everything but installing that tmo rom overwrote my modem.bin file. So im waiting on someone to pull the modem.bin off of thier att device so i can get it back.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ForcedZucchini:
I would be hesitant to flash anything at this point. Lots of things are unstable, and it's not worth ruining a superb phone.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kydkupa:
cld u do me a favor and run this real quick. it will pull ur modem.bin file i need. (if you're rooted)

In terminal emulator (or adb shell in cmd window)

su

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096

Pulls modem.bin

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/amss.bin bs=4096

Pulls amss.bin (if that doesn't work its 0p12 but I'm pretty sure it's 13)

They'll be dumped to your sdcard.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] incubus26jc:
lol.... here we go
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] flyinbird93:
Yes because xda hasn't had others brick their phones before installing roms they know little about, nor took the time to ask the simple question in the thread before flashing. For those people we should squash the idea of an improved and broader development group between multiple carriers. :rolleyes:

Sorry if this seems aimed more at you, but in general I'm getting frustrated with this response. Developers should not have to worry about experimental test people run on their phones and should not be limited to a specific carrier just because the modem is different as far as development goes. If people don't understand what they are doing with their expensive devices they should not be flashing or messing with them at all and stick with stock or what they really feel comfortable doing AFTER an appropriate amount of reading and asking questions.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] FiveOhFox:
Theoretically, all of our roms will be interchangeable. Minus the radio. Your problem seems repairable. I can look at it tomorrow if you want.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] C_LosEvo:
Worst case scenario shouldnt he be able to flash stock rom through odin and get stock radio back? He would only have to re-root again.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kydkupa:
I dont care if i have to re root. where is the stck rom? the only dl i have are the boot.tar from the other threads and those dont fix the problem.

I think that was the point in my comment. Being one of those developers you speak of :)

Its only going to be confusing though in the beginning until we figure out what to put in and leave out. I would imagine that eventually roms will be 1 size fits all. Just give it time.

[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
im not that new to flashing and things but coming from a samsung phone im not really sure what safestrap does.

I know that i can get into CMW with it, and thats what i use to flash/make backups and things...

Is that basically all its used for? I also notice i can turn safe mod on/off and really dont know what that is...
[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
Ok, so the Droid 3 is a bit different than most other phones. It has what is called a preinstall environment, which allows for a second system to be run, kind of like dual booting a computer. However, the standard recovery or CWM doesn't allow user access to this second system. Someone figured out a way to make a bootloader, which is very similar to CWM, but that can access the second system. What it does is it allows you to install another ROM in the second system, while leaving your primary system relatively unchanged. This is nice for people who like testing new ROMs and don't want to worry so much about losing their original data through a myriad of backups and restores. It does allow for additional backups, however that is mostly a precautionary method. If you intend to install any ROMs on your D3, it is highly recommended that you use safestrap as opposed to CWM, as it is a lot safer (hence the name safestrap).

Someone may be able to give you a better explanation and you can read more about it on Hashcode's blog at http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/

I currently have my sprint number setup with google voice, and I'm using google voice to manage my number. I have multiple greetings for work, meetings and stuff and I found out that there's no feature to schedule certain greetings to play on the website.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

looks like Sammy failed on the hardware this time. in comparison, all buttons were solid on my international SGS2 and my international GNex. it may possibly be because of the coating of the band around the phone and thus they had to use a different process.

edit: i will add, however, this is the very first Sammy device with no screen issues i've ever had. no banding, no bad spots. nothing. i was quite please in this area.

I might just deal with it. The ink spots aren't bad at all on my screen. Of course now I notice the rattle more.. Just moving it forward and backward semi swiftly makes a rattle noise.
