Have you flashed the latest bootloader, i.e., LC03, before trying to flash the system image?

I have a Verizon CDMA (toro) of this phone. I am Having the same exact problem. So far i've tried flashing stock from the toolkit, I've tried manually pushing all files through fastboot. and i've also tried recovering through odin, all with proper files for my device(toro files). None have worked so far.

None of the partitions will mount at all or do anything. The bootloader is unlocked. I've even tried relocking the bootlocker, so that i can try to bring it back to the Verizon store, but it will not stick, as soon as i reset the bootloader it shows as being unlocked again. When accessing the recover the phone also shows right away all the mounting errors pertaining to the cache

I have something similar. Bootloader unlocked CWM flashed tried wiping in recovery, get "error mounting /data" and the rest of it. Get nowhere. Seems my sdcard is a bit screwed up. Tried Odin. Locks at userdata. Tried fastboot erase userdata. Have lastest bootloader LC03.

Could it be a hardware problem? or something else entirely?

Sounds like you all need to start studying up on Odin flashing.

DO NOT just jump in there and do it....read read read and read some more.

I'm certain that you can look up my old posts and find some specific directions and links to everything you'll need.

ODIN is the only thing that will recover your borked phones, every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4177996:
Is ODIN equivalent to an sbf on Motorola?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
ODIN would be comparable to RSD lite. It the Samsung software you run on the PC to flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2ishun:
Odin will run on a locked up phone.

Odin will restore all partitions and the file table.

It will also restore a borked boot image.

It will recover a bricked phone as long as there is no hardware problem causing the brick.

You'll find every stock Gnex image there....all made to run on Odin.

You can get a good idea of how it works here....be careful, some things are a bit different (as in we have no home key on a Gnex so ignore any calls to use it).

That should be a direct D/L of Odin 3 1.85 which I use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Those images are not in an odin-flashable format.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Hehe, just to add, these are fastboot images.

Beamed from Maguro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2ishun:
Then I guess they didn't work when I used them either ???

If you KNOW how to use Odin you can use numerous different image types and some files need a .pit file and some do not.

There is a reason for everything.

Just because you cannot see the reason does not negate the fact that one exists.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Interesting. Please do share how you flashed those images from the link you posted in odin. I always re-packed them into an odin-flashable tar, but if you found a way to do it using the files in that link without repacking, I would really like to know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoonerLater:
My Razr MAXX is running stock Verizon OTA 4.0.4 (.211) ICS. It is rooted. I have used SQLite Editor to modify Settings Storage (the one with the hammer and wrench) to modify the Settings.db, settings table and have changed the value for entitlement_check from 1 to 0 (and rebooted and checked the same file again to make sure that the change was written successfully to the table, which it was). I can start up Mobile HotSpot without any errors and without being asked to signup for a $30.00/month plan with Verizon, so we know that the entitlement_check hack has done its magic. Mobile Hotspot seems to run without any trouble.

My Windows 7 Pro (64bit) notebook sees the SSID created by my phone, and will attempt to connect to it, but when I do, I get this error:

The problem is with my notebook, because my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet (Android) will connect to the wifi created by the Mobile HotSpot without any errors or problems.

I realize that this is an Android forum and not a Windows forum, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] techgov8:
The samething used to happen to me when I was on gingerbread. I used to change the password of the wpa2 key and sometimes turn hotspot off then on again and it would work. I still have the entitlement check at zero now that I'm on ics but I haven't tried the hotspot to connect to another computer yet. Ill give it a try and let you know if I get the same problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inmnbob:
I am running an exchange email using stock app and rom and having an annoying problem. I am getting new email announcements for emails already received a couple of days ago. Yesterdaythe the same two emails kept coming in as if they were new I ended up deleting them. Then today another email which I received a couple of days ago popped up as new in my notifications but nothing happens when I touch that email..the system just takes me to my inbox.

An additional issue I am having is that I set my email up to synch for three days which it did. Then I decided to change that setting to one day but the system didn't change the inbox and I still get multiple days
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dev-host.eu:
That is one common problem with stock exchange app. The sync has to be set correctly, or it'll fail.

Hey all,

I had S Voice working perfectly, detecting even exotic sounding non-English contact names.. but after a factory reset and setting up the phone again, it won't recognize contacts anymore. I've tried rebooting, wiping data/cache for S Voice, etc. but it just won't work.

Am I missing a trick here? I rely heavily on S Voice in the car on the go to fire off texts and calls.. Hope someone can help, please? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] pakraider:
Bump..

could a factory reset have actually messed something up? :-\
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] pakraider:
Samsung tech support told me to try Vlingo or Google Voice Search, and neither of those could find my contacts either!

Both Vlingo and Voice Search have worked for me on my Nexus One and HTC Sensation.. What the heck is wrong with Samsung / TouchWiz to make it stop working suddenly and never come back? Even a factory reset didn't fix it.. anyone have any clue? I'd hate to have to return it over this, but I really rely on voice dialing... :(

edit: Here's the fix.. Google has to be the last account you add.. only then will all of these apps be able to recognize the contact names. Weird, but that's what I've found.

[Android Apps and Games] kegman913:
I'm a little confused about this app. It claims to be able to anonymously use the internet, circumvent blocked sites and be able to keep your data usage unknown from your carrier.

I figured this was a proxy but to be able to keep your carrier from knowing your data usage perplexes me.

Is this possible?

Other random questions:

-how much does this app slow down your browsing?

-People mentioned they use it to circumvent blocked sites at work, I assume this would only apply to using the work's wifi as your network?

-If I used orbot just for my phone browsing I assume you are techniquely only keeping your browser data hidden from google and your carrier correct?

-does this thing do anything else super awesome not mentioned above?
[Android Apps and Games] liqwidzero:
First, it is not a proxy.

Secondly, your carrier will know how much data you are using. Think of it as being like Bit Torrent. You're borrowing another's IP that has been borrowed by someone else and is being lent to you, masking what you are really doing.

Internet will be slowed to a crawl. Speed will depend upon the IP you're hidden under and what sites you're visiting.

One last thing I'll say is to use it wisely. After a lot of use, you can be traced through it no matter what you're doing.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Using K9 mail v4.011 (newest as of todays date from play store) on Samsung GS3 ICS 4.0.4 running on T-mobile USA network.

I have it Setup for 2 Gmail accts, used K9 automatic setup.

If I go to K9 settings, global, network, background sync, and set this to ANYTHING except never, K9 mail leaves the data connection on constantly, draining the battery and eating bandwidth. No matter wifi or mobile data. the indicator in the top bar is continuous solid SEND/RECEIVE always on. I verified this with Network Manager (also from play store) too.

So I Disable the background sync, and the constant data connection stops, but when I get an email, I never get notified by K9. I have the Gmail app set up also for the same email accounts, and if I have the stock gmail app set to notify me of incoming emails, I get instant push notification of new mail from the gmail app but not the k9 app.

So, I obviously have something not set up correctly for k9 to receive push correctly, but I don't know what I have set wrong? can anyone PLEASE help me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eelton:
I'm having the exact same problem. K9 worked great for push e-mail with my Samsung Captivate, but with the Galaxy S3 it works only intermittently (possibly more frustrating than if it didn't work at all).

I tried clearing the data in K9 and re-entering the account info. That seemed to work for a few hours, but now I'm back to no push mail. The GMail app continues to work fine--I'd just go with that, but I like that K9 works with Tasker; GMail does not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pdk269:
I had this issue too a while back, it was when i was playing with the polling folder options. The only way I could get it back was to uninstall it, and reinstall with the factory settings. I don't have any issues with it receiving push on my S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eelton:
Thanks for the input. I just uninstalled and reinstalled K9, and I'm still having a problem receiving push mail. I guess I'll just have to go with GMail.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pdk269:
I think the issue might be that you have both GMAIL and K9 pulling the same accounts. Trying setting up one that is not also in the GMAIL app. There may be a delay and K9 doesn't getting push. I seem to remember one time i played around with the incoming/outgoing servers too and had to actually use the POP servers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AxAtAx:
From what I went thru, you can not use gmail app with K9 at the same time, un-install one or the other. and which ever one you use, do the settings there, btw, the only way I could get K9 to work was use a system uninstall and get rid of the worthless generic gmail app. Up to you, hope this helps, I have 4 email accounts in K9 and it polls correctly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eelton:
Thanks. I'll try fully uninstalling GMail. Most of the time, I've had it frozen in Titanium Backup, and I've still had the intermittent push failure in K9. I defrosted GMail and used it at the same time as K9 only as a control to test whether K9 was working.

You should try to mount the sdcard in some way, i had this problem before, i tried the factory reset from bootloader and it corrupted my SDPartition, so i mounted it via Recovery and formated it via PC, this is the only way to get it done, so, in order to save something while you can, try to flash the Recovery again, try to mount the sd card and flash a custom ROM....

If you can manage to save it, remember to S-OFF your phone, so next time you will not experience this kind of things. Hope this helps.
