I think my post may not have been clear. Of course you can lock the bootloader; that is how one installs the original ROM. But I was under the impression that it then says ”relocked” if you have previously unlocked the device. That warning from HTC have me a lot of pause when I read it! But I think what I read said ”may” void your warranty. But I was reading fast...

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Once you s-off, that little "relocked" thing is no longer something to worry about. :p

T-Mobile usually doesn't check if you mod a device or not, they don't care. But the likes of HTC check every detail and make a fuss about it all, though it's not illegal to mod your device and it shouldn't void your warrant when you unlock it, but they say flat out that once you go ahead and unlock, your warranty is voided, they even went as far as putting a huge red tampered sign on the newer HTC devices when you unlock. Which is BS imo, but to save each other and the bs corporate companies put us through for their mistakes, I think it's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the appreciation, appreciate you guys/gals being around to help too, since most of us have moved on to newer or other devices. :silly:
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
I'd like to learn more about that tamper proof. I though that was only on batteries for when they got wet. Illustrate me boss
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
It's not an actual hardware tag, you know where it says unlocked on our bootloader? Well right above that has a red wording similar to the unlocked wording that says tampered once you unlock, I guess they're trying to find a way around us getting the bootloader back to locked status and dodging their security checks. I'll take a pic today when I go to fix this guys phone and upload it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] cast2brian:
Things are looking up again :)

UPDATE:

Well been worried what the cost was gonna be if i had to pay and how long they would take or if my phone is gone for good. But now am happy to post this picture :D

Looks like all went well and should be back with my phone again soon at no cost :) whoo! thanks everyone!

I recently flashed revolver 4.1.1 and a new kernel but for some reason my tablet always boots to the CWM recovery unless i do the power+vol down then itll go to the wipe or cold boot screenand boot into the OS. This started when the revolver arts downloaded the 4.1.1 patch and booted to recovery and i couldnt find the 4.1.1 patch and rebooted, downloaded it with my browser and installed it.

Any way i can set it back to boot directly to the OS?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batjuh:
If you booted from os into recovery then that is the trouble maker. For some reason our transformer 's can't handle it that well.

One of the first topics here goes about this problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671598

The solution is too flash another recovery. And that can be done in the recovery itself with another version you can find here. They made an whole topic over the problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1213723

If you experience problems like it won't flash the recovery over the other one.

You have too revert back too clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 of 3.1.0.1 by flashing.

so if your done flashing 3.2.0.2 you can upgrade it again with 5.5.0.4 or even touch recovery 5.8.1.8

So remember "don't boot from os into recovery anymore after doing the above" otherwise you have the same problems. Eventually you can use reboot into recovery apk from the market safe if i recall
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidneyk:
What recovery version are you using?

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Revolver used to have the option to reboot to recovery which I used multiple times and never had any issue. I'm currently using Gummy which reboots you to recovery whether you choose normal reboot or reboot to recovery and still no issues otherwise. I just choose reboot in the recovery and it reboots fine from there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerhurst:
Im on cwm 5.8.3.4. I used the reboot to recovery in revolver parts. Its just annoying but doesnt prevent using the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidneyk:
That looks like a version that came from ROM Manager and may be your trouble. What happens when you choose normal reboot from the Revolver power menu?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerhurst:
Like hold power button and choose from the menu? Same thing. Next cold boot goes to recovery.

Yup, rom manager updated.

Haven't tried rebooting from revolver parts yet, didn't even think of it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidneyk:
You might try Team Rogue XM Touch Recovery. It will read both internal and external cards and works well. You may need to apply the fix mentioned in Roach's recovery thread first if it still boots to recovery after.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badbullet:
Seems that you have recovery loop problem so try this: Download ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2 from here :

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=934821&d=1331070176

Place the recovery zip on the sdcard where clockworkmod can read it.

Reboot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" or "hold volume down and power for 3 seconds, let go of power only, then press volume up when prompted on screen"

In recovery, select flash zip from sdcard and select the recovery zip you downloaded

Once it has flashed the zip file, don't reboot but hold power button to shot down

Power on your device and boot in android. Download terminal emulator from market and type this:

su
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
Reboot
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerhurst:
Finally got a chance to mess with this issue. It wont flash over the current recovery with 3.2.0.1 or .3.1.0.1 or the 5.8.1.8 touch. Getting into recovery by rebooting and letting the messed up recovery thing boot into its self and then selecting the zip to flash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudacgf:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
Hey, I'm switching from Sprint to T-Mobile, and I need to decide if I want t port my number to TMo or keep it as my Google Voice number, with forwarding to my new number. I know T-Mobile doesn't have the full integration Sprint does, but the big question nobody seems to have answered anywhere that Google can find is this: on T-Mobile, does Google Voice still let you choose whether to receive texts via the GV app or the stock messaging app, or are you stuck using the Voice app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janis:
Dude, your signature is being read by a ton of folk who's third or fourth language is English. Try writing a few posts in Russian, or better yet, Mandarin, and you'll get what their up against. (Yes, that's a deliberate dangling participle.) Although I agree with your basic gist for the most part, your approach isn't going to win anyone over to respect our ever-changing, hybrid-by-nature mother tongue. Respect is the key to respect.

To answer your question, you can set it up so Google Voice texts are forwarded to your stock messaging app/service/number. I use Handcent pretty much exclusively with my Google Voice number, but it doesn't support MMS, yet. I still use my cell number for MMS, but there've been rumors in the mill for months.

T-Mobile has always lagged behind the other major US carriers in Google integration ever since the G1 wasn't the only Android phone on the market. They lag because their cheap, and they're cheap because they lag. It's OK with me, I'd rather hack my phone than pay too much for it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubbasparxxx98:
So I need some help guys. I have the international factory unlocked 16gb Samsung Galaxy S3.

I recently rooted my phone using ODIN and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar

It worked great until I saw an OTA update available (Jelly Bean)

My phone would download it but it would not install it.

I did a bunch of Google and Android and XDA searching and the solution I decided to go with was flashing TeamEpic-RemoveRoot-from-Recovery-signed.zip through CWM. Then pushing TeamEpic-Sprint-SGS3-stock-boot-and-recovery.tar.md5 through ODIN. By doing this I would be stock and un-rooted, I could install the OTA update, and then re-root through the previous method.

www . epiccm. org/2012/06/sprint-sgs3-stock-restore. html is the link to where I got these files.

However, after doing these two things my phone does not boot. It instead just sits at the

Samsung

GALAXY SIII

GT-I9300

screen.

I tried to go back in to ODIN and Re-push CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4

I tried to boot in to recovery and install from back up. It is not finding the back up that Titanium made.

I tried wipe/factory reset and it did it but i'm still stuck at the same screen.

I tried pulling the battery.

I tried Pushing CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 after the wipe/factory reset.

None of these things worked. Sorry if my problem is somewhere else in another forum. I spent 2 hours searching and came up with nothing. Individuals with similar problems as mine were not able to access recovery or download mode.

Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks so much for your time.

I should also note that there was no recovery after I installed the TeamEpic stuff from ODIN...I tried to boot recovery but the screen just flickered and settled right back in to the same spot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegeta1:
either flash the stock rom again via odin

or if u can boot into recovery download any rom and flash it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Jelly bean isn't out for a couple of months. Android 4.0.X is not 4.1.X, you're still on ICS.

That sounds like it's not for i9300 but rather the US-versions. These will not work on the international one and cause soft- or hard-bricks.

Titanium Backups are to be used when the new Version/ROM is running, not from CWM. At this point you can only use Nandroid backups which you have to backup/restore through CWM.

Flash the full Firmware again (download it from Samfirmware) and then factory-reset your phone in the Recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubbasparxxx98:

Why is my phone in roaming mode? I searched for networks and it found T-mobile and At&t and I chose T-mobile since that is what service I have my sim card through. But nothing changed. I have all of T-mobiles apn settings and they are correct but I cannot send or receive mms.

Is this related to trying to flash sprint stuff to my t-mobile phone?

Did you enable USB Debugging and set your phone to MPT instead of USB Mass Storage? Have you tried "adb devices" to ensure that your computer is able to see your phone?
