I'm having a big issue here!!

I followed this guide,

my phone is gone into a loop with the htc quietly brilliant logo,

keeps reboting,

I tried to go back to the recovery to backup my sistem,

and the recovery is not there anymore,

what can I do now?

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

UPDATE

just managed to reinstall custom recovery and backup my system

I think the issue was that I did not do a gold card?

Also could anyone post a link to make this gold card?
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
Download the Gold Card TOOL from here : -

Gold Card.exe

And Follow The steps ..

1.Run Gold card.exe (as administrator)

2.Change your phone to "USB Mass storage" and click refresh in Gold Card Tool until you see the drive letter assigned to the SD Card of your phone.

3.NOW select MMC1 in step3 and PRESS "get CID"copy it.

4.NOW go to step 4 and click on the link provided there.

5.paste the CID in Box "SD Card Serial (CID)" on that page.

6.do the further steps as guided on website.and download that .img file.

7.now return to the Goldcard.exe again and go to step 5 and browse the .img file obtained from The website.

DONE........................
[HTC Wildfire S] Stupid_N00b:
is there any guide on how to use this exe?
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
Ignore all and follow this simple tutorial.

I have updated it here for you..

Simple Tutorial for Creating GOLD card
[HTC Wildfire S] Stupid_N00b:
sweet :good:
[HTC Wildfire S] technaudio:
Ah.
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
So you Got your solution?
[HTC Wildfire S] Stupid_N00b:
All right the program results in

on step 3, any suggestion?
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
if you are getting error in step 3.

after finishing format in step 1. > change the phone in charge only mode with debug on.

it will work now.

but again have to change your phone to "USB Mass storage" while patching the image file in step 5.

Best of luck.
[HTC Wildfire S] Stupid_N00b:
stuck again on step 5 it ask me to put the sd card back into computer

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

so after making a goldcard I went through the same process for flashing system and all

I got the same result

htc logo looping

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

I also would like to get rid of this goldcard since it conflicts with the recovery system and

I can't find the clowork folder
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
so many posts :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] Stupid_N00b:
Ok sorry, I'm gonna try to be more clear:

I patched the goldcard and repeated the process from top

still I got into the booting htc animation

which loops forever,

I wanted to go back to my back but I guess the goldcard won't let me do it since after backing up from clockwork recovery

the htc brillient loop comes back again instead of loading the cyanogen

can you help me?
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
you have unlocked bootloader or you are using it in ***relocked***?
[HTC Wildfire S] Stupid_N00b:
it is unlocked
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
try to

reflash the custom recovery using command....

adb flash recovery.img

after that you can run the backup
[HTC Wildfire S] Stupid_N00b:
that worked thanks,

now im back to cyanogen but I

still don't understeand why on boot it keeps reboting

the htc logo after doing all the process:(
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
wipe dalivik cache, and repeat the above steps.

now you will get no error and no bootloop.
[HTC Wildfire S] optimusodd:
Does this work for HTC Buzz(Wildfire) ???
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
yes it will....but skip step 2 in your case(the rom i have included is only for wildfire s),and download the rom.zip for you specific model.and follow the further steps.

best of luck
[HTC Wildfire S] Stupid_N00b:
After wiping dalivik cache and repeating the steps it is bootlooping again

I'm done wasting time on this
[HTC Wildfire S] Ripschit:
This was just what I needed. . . almost

This was fantastic and I must say quite ingenious. It solved all of my issues and got me back to square one. I only have one question though, Is there an option for a US (English US/Canada)? I find English UK, South Afica etc etc but nothing that when factory reset will allow US/Canada
[HTC Wildfire S] mpoumpis:
Will this work on branded T-mobile wildfire s?

Also I am not able to download the flash program file...

I have a Samsung Captivate currently running ICS. They are already working on a Jelly Bean port from the nexus S. After having this phone and being on XDA, I have no intention of buying a phone that does not have a large developer following. The HTC OneX looks great, but I don't think I will see the following I have with the captivate....whats the prediction for the S3? I think we get a lot for the captivate because of the nexus S. I am not sure the S3 has the same.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jsick:
I'm curious as well because the International S3 (I9300) will have a ton of dev support, but the North American versions should also have a good base as well.

I don't think we will see the same level of development as the I9300, but I think there should be adequate support for us as well.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] twinkdogg:
The galaxy s3 will have adequate support once we see a more consistent launch. Most of the developers don't even have the phone yet.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] leewongfei:
Coming off of the HTC rezound, i hope it does. I have been on the ropes on buying this or keeping a NEXUS that Verizon sent me as a replacement for my rezound.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Poser:
Given the similarity in hardware across the carriers... This may be the best supported non nexus device samsung has delivered to the states

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] 1SiK1500:
As previously stated, this is one of the largest, fastest, and most sought after device on the market today. The Only other andriod device that would be competition would be the One X. I do not think development will be any issue. Once these devices flood the market as i hope and Samsung says, we will be fine!

THEMES AND CUSTOMIZING
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
My Korean's not good enough, wife isn't technical enough and translator doesn't do a good enough job but on the first link I can't figure something out. The top part is his guide to rooting but at the bottom, S3-3G-RootingRom.tar. Is this a custom rom, is it the factory rom, just very vague.
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Never mind... found it!
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
By the looks of things, it is a rooted stock ROM with Busy Box installed.

Another link to add... He posted directions on how to get Triangle Away to work. http://people.sarang.net/index.php?mid=gstip&document_srl=2953292
[Galaxy S III General] sambauer:
how i did it

Hi guys. thank you for this wonderful post.

I followed the instructions as under and achieved root. I dont know the Korean language but got a Korean model S3 3g. model SHW-M440S.

I first downloaded the files from M@31 link above :

Rooting Korean SGS III (3G and LTE) - zip files and instructions (in Korean)

files downloaded were:

odin3_v3.04.zip

cfroot_recovery.tar

CWM_SuperUser_0.92.zip

First installed Odin on my PC.

Then shut off the phone and loaded it in download mode by Pressing volume down, Power and home (main key) at the same time.

I was faced with some Korean language text. i Pressed the VOLUME UP button and the phone entered download mode.

I loaded the file Cfroot_recovery.tar in the PDA section of ODIN and hit start.

The installation was successful and phone rebooted.

Once phone rebooted, i copied the CWM_Superuser_0.92.zip to the SD card of the phone.

I then shut off the phone

Restarted it by hitting the Volume UP , Power and Home key simultaneously.

Within the menu i selected 'install from SD card' and then pointed to the CWM_Superuser_0.92.zip file.

The file was installed. I rebooted.

Then downloaded superuser and titanium backup from the market.

loaded up titanium backup and it was given superuser access! :)

I have not downloaded or installed the

S3-3G-RootingRom.tar.torrent

OR

S3-LTE-RootingRom.tar.torrent

as i do not know what ROMS they are.

Anyway, i hope people find this useful. I am looking for an ENGLISH language only ROM for my Korean model SG S3. If anyone has any success with finding out, i would highly appreciate a post here :)

Best regards
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Thanks for posting this! Glad you were successful :)

Another link to add. He posted the Factory ROM and Kernal for 3g and LTE. http://bluepremium.tistory.com/entry/갤럭시S3-순정-펌웨어
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
I messaged the guy who runs Blue Premium website and asked a few questions. One I asked was are there any custom roms that we can use right now, like CM9? I know you have your Presto ROM but I assume it is all in Korean correct? He answered...

"PRESTO ROM is indeed in Korea, but you always CAN Change the System Language. Crazy kamui figured out that custom ROMs can be flashed onto Galaxy S3 - Korean version if you change the kernel section. However, CM9 and AOKP don't work that way, so don't try. Actually we're Testing Several Things to Korean Galaxy S3 to Port CM9."

So its seems for right now Presto ROM is your only one. Let me know if you try it out and give some feedback.
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
You guys/girls are awesome!

Sorry, been slacking a bit, but Ill update now!

I don't have my phone yet, so I have been a bit slacking...Im sorry :)

Ill keep up to date! :)
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Links have been updated on first post....Thanks to p33k and sambauer for doing some searching.

I'm still curious how they know the rooting and ROMs work with the LTE versions, since it is not released yet. Maybe they have access to one....?

Anywho, if one of you try out the custom ROM, let us know!

For the Factory ROM and Kernel, anyone post the Firmware numbers for it so I can add that? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Did you try and download the Factory ROM and Kernel?

Im trying to get the LTE versions now, but they are "img" files.....not .tar

***Edit

Hmmm, I just tried doing the 3G ones and they are zipped up files.

It is only the LTE ones that are .img files.......

This is strange!
[Galaxy S III General] lvoonjian8888:
Is there any other mirror link for download the I9300XXBLFB (4.0.4)? As hotfile regular download limit 30 minutes per download and my area internet is slow so unable to finish download.

Thanks

Galaxy S3, Omega 7.1, franco kernel..^^

Edited : Post on wrong thread. Sorry. :p
[Galaxy S III General] sambauer:
I used it on my Korean 3G model SHW-M440S.

It is not the LTE version. Also, i have not installed the rom. I just followed the steps as per my previous post , short of installing the ROM given.

I then downloaded Rom Manager and Titanium backup and both were given access to root and worked flawlessly. The only problem with the root manager is that i cannot install clockworkmod recovery as ROm manager does not give an option for my phone (it gives two options. 1- Samsung Epic4G and 2- Samsung GalaxyS i9000).

Thank you everyone else for the pointers. I shall await a little longer before trying out the PRESTO Rom. i do remember spending almost an entire night trying to fix up my Korean Galaxy model S when i put up a European Galaxy S rom on it and it wouldnt work. Took me a while to figure out the problem was that the Korean Samsung Galaxy was different than the European versions and their ROMs would not work on mine :).

I have checked my applications and there are two apps installed one is called 'SUPERSU" and the other is "Superuser" . Only SuperSU is active as it shows titanium backup/etc in its app list.

I continue to ponder this issue till i solve it. Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Yeah I had same problem with root manager. I just uninstalled it. I had backed up my Rom via cwm recovery after rooting so I hope I'm ok. Then we have the factory roms. Cwm let's u do all the things manager does but less friendly.

But I'm a newb when it comes to this just switching from ip4. Please correct me if wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
I have never used CWM, so I am not too sure what it is or does.

Im guessing it is a backup program?

sambauer, have you tried updating your superuser app?

Just go into the app and you should be able to update it no worries....I had a similar problem with my tab when I rooted it and just had to do the update and it worked like a charm. Just check out the menu within the app and update it.....hopefully that works.

A tip for anyone and everyone - only use ROMs that are built for our phones. There are always problems with ROMs that are not specifically made for the Korean Galaxy phones.

That being said, PRESTO ROM is made for the Korean 3G, it should work fine.
[Galaxy S III General] sambauer:
@ M@31 : Thank you for that. The problem is solved. steps taken as as under:

I uninstalled the superuser app that i had installed from market. (SUPERSU) left untouched.

I then reinstalled CWM_SuperUser_0.92 from sdcard using CWM recovery.

everything workings perfectly now :)

[Galaxy S III General] NonovUrbizniz:
I hate to be all nooby and what not but I seriously thinking about picking up another phone.... the Unlocked Galaxy Nexus is back up for sale on the Play store, so I MIGHT go that route, BUT I have family who has family in south korea so I could get my hands on a quad core s3... (or can you buy them unlocked online somewhere?)

And IF I do get the quad core are there any roms for it yet? I guess I should sit back and let the smart people figure it out and check back lol....

I rom ton's of phone's but I've never had a samsung or a foreign market phone.

Will it even function as a phone in the US? and if so on what carriers?

Sorry for the spoon feeding request but a clear reply to above might stop lots of new threads asking the same thing.
[Galaxy S III General] sambauer:
I can tell you what i experienced with my Samsung S2 which was purchased in South Korea. I frequently travel to other countries and used that Korean S2 without any problems with local sims from China, Pakistan, U.K. and The Netherlands.

There are some issues though..

1- any text message more than 80 characters automatically becomes a MMS.

2- You have to program your mobile number into the sim, otherwise before sending any sms, the phone also asks to fill out a 'from' field.

3- the Korean keyboard is ever present and becomes quite an inconvenience for some one like me who does not speak Korean language.

4- you cannot use mainstream ROMs meant for the same model of phone that are not specifically designed for the Korean model.

Other than this , all is well :) Now that i have purchased the S3, i am forever looking for a compatible international custom rom for it.

I hope you can make a better choice now more suited to your needs.

i got the firmware update message also for my S3 3G. i also have not updated it for fear of losing root . will wait till some developer either comes up with a moded update or confirmation that the update does not eliminate root.
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
You can just update and if you lose root just install the superuser via cwm recovery mode again to gain root access.

So Prestige ROM is up, but I cannot look at it....

You need to have a password to access it.

p33k, are you able to get into it by chance?

I've gotta send them a message to see how I can become a member.....
[Galaxy S III General] sheriffadam:
I was just about to root using this method:

http://bluepremium.tistory.com/entry/갤럭시S3-루팅-방법

I have an SK LTE S3, but thought to check, is there anything I need to do before rot? Files or folders to backup? Not my files but any specific SK files or bits in there I need? Assume not but didn't want to just charge in!
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Nope nothing you need to do. What I did and has been nice to have in my playing is, after I installed the cf-recovery and booted into it to install the superuser file, I didn't. I used it to make a backup of my original rom. Then I installed the superuser file after making a backup.
[Galaxy S III General] sheriffadam:
Aha I see, might do that when in there then!

Cheers :)

Well that took me ages! I had copied over the wrong .zip file and took me ages to realise what I was looking for was't there! Done now, going to block me some apps in TiBackup! Spamware be gone!
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Yah, I made my back up with SuperUser already on there......so not too sure if that is good or not.

So, right now, my backup is stock rom with CFrecovery and SuperUser.....

But at least I we have access to Stock ROMs now, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Hhahahaa nice one!

Feels good to not have to look at all the bloatware :)
[Galaxy S III General] sambauer:
Finally taking the plunge ....downloading and installing the OTA firmware update on SK S3.. will let you all know how it went and whether i kept the Root or not :/
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Let know what the new firmware number is after your done. Good luck snd Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] sambauer:
Great. it downloaded it.. around 63 MB, restarted, showed and android robot with stuff happening in its tummy and a progress bar. 10 seconds into the install, a RED warning symbol came on and the phone rebooted back and loaded the regular software with a message that there was an error in installation.

possibly due to the root that i have on my device as the ROM is still stock.

hmmmmmmm. i guess there is no OTA update for me. will try to use KIES @ some point..
[Galaxy S III General] magicm3n:
Is this Presto ROM has enhanced sound driver like Vodoo_Sound ? Or is here standar samsung sound driver ?
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
I don't know about Presto ROM, but the new one coming out Prestige does include Voodoo.
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Pretty sure it doesn't include Voodoo but not 100%.

So anyone using Data on E210L over GSM? Didn't found the time to flash another firmware this days so I can test but the issue is when I'm on GSM if I enable data I only get GPRS (45k according to speed test) and if I move on WCDMA I get 3G (2mbit) but phone is not working properly. So i was hoping to have 3G or Edge or something faster than GPRS while on GSM. Would be grateful if anyone has ideas what to try. I wanted to go in that hidden menu to see if I can enable something but nothing happens when I dial that number.
[Galaxy S III General] kms108:
the max you get is 3G 384kb/s, unless you country supports the same lte, the rest is cdma.
[Galaxy S III General] Anubhav997:
thanks

Ok. i will go for the 440s. but what do you for mean by "conevrt the kernel" (sorry if its a dumb question). just flashing the i9300 roms with stock kernel won't work... or will i have to flash some other kernel first (if yes then please give me the link)

P.S. i will be buying an unlocked 440s.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] blaze2k:
Guys but when I enable data on my phone it enables GPRS and It doesn't move on 3G unless I go in to network mode settings and move from GSM to WCDMA. Shouldn't it move to 3G atutomatically since my network mode is on auto? (I haven't selected 2G only)
[Galaxy S III General] Anubhav997:
Got IT

Anyway found it...thanks
[Galaxy S III General] 92bh:
Which Rom is running on your phone? Stock rom 4.1.2 (root or not it doesn't matter) or something else?

With 4.1.2 you have to dial 319712358 and 0821 for the password.

Then, in netwok Setting/Network mode, choose "automatic". in Data setting/Pref chose "GSM, WCDMA only"

If you use another Rom, the hidden menu doesn't exists (because it's linked with the Korean provider LG+)
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
Ok. Sorry on vacation so not checking as much. I think on Korean websites there is a new converter for siyah 1.8.6 or cm10.1. But you just flash the converter after you install a rom or kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] blaze2k:
I have the rom someone gave me a few pages back (it can be found below). Its a custom rom 4.1.2 I've checked before and that code doesn't work.
