Ima Dude, and i will be getting the Note 2........the note fit in my pocket just fine.

i do agree with the purse statement, its the reason i sold my mom on the LTE Note.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaspernemec:
I dont know for you actually, but note is way too big for me....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a67543210:
Note 2 will be slimmer and smaller in size than note 1, though with a slightly larger screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daz_2000:
Guess I will try out the original note in store and see if I think its too big.

Out of interest. Those that are saying go for the note. Is that down to any issues you have with s3? Or just that note2 will have a a better spec?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daz_2000:
Bump... What are people's issues with S3? Anything to put me off getting it? Or is it awesome. Would particulary like to hear from people who came from s2 on improvements?

I like the led notification, but what about the speaker, is sound muffled like in s2 when placed flat down?

I have searched all morning and tried endless things to correct the issue, but still no dice... so here goes.

Downloaded a new ROM this morning, was going to reboot into recovery and flash it, but the System Recovery app is constantly denied Root access. Tried going into the Superuser app and updating the binary, but it also is denied Root.

I found one solution where someone downloaded the latest SU binary file, rebooted into recovery and flashed this to correct the issue. This is all well and good, but I can't reboot into recovery. It's a vicious cycle! What do I do?

-Brian
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
sbf, then when you root make sure you go into the superuser app and update the binary before the app itself updates. re flash your rom

[Motorola Droid X2] bplacker:
Thanks

Thanks, that seemed to do the trick, once i researched what SBF was and how to do it.

Used this for SBF tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175300

And this for installing a new ROM: http://www.androidauthority.com/droid-x2-miui-4-ice-cream-sandwich-52923/

After doing the SBF, the phone had no idea who I was and wouldn't connect to the network. I had to wipe the factory data / cache, then call the re-activation number, then re-sync my phone to the google account. After that I re-rooted it using the Motorola One Click Root, then installed the Bootstrap Recovery, then flashed the new ROM. Fairly simple all-in-all, just lots of research and time to figure this crap out.

Thanks again.

It gets easier...when I first did it it seemed to take an hour, now I blink and it's done.

DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
you definately get used it i dont read at all for any kind of flashing I just do it from habit lol, biggest tip i can give you is to keep all your "rom files" organized in a folder on your x2 and the same for all the sbf files on your computer.

Hi guys

I have just flashed Omega v8.1 to my phone and reflashed CWM touch, rebooted into recovery and now my phone won't boot. It turns on and just displays the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen. I have tried flashing via the Galaxy s 3 toolkit but this requires USB debugging to be enabled. It looks as though it is not enabled as the toolkit does not recognise my phone.. The only thing I can do is boot it into download mode.

Any clues??

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacketJ:
If you can go on download mode, then flash stock firmware via odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prank1:
Firstly your phone is fine, it can be easily fixed one way or another.

Can you still boot into recovery?

If not, reflash recovery using ODIN via Download mode

Once you have access to the recovery, try wiping the following:

Data/Factory reset

Cache

Dalvik Cache

Format /system (probably not required but just in case)

And then reflash the omega ROM, making sure it is not corrupt; maybe redownload/check MD5 sum to be sure.

If, for whatever reason you are still having problems with the phone not booting into Android, I would try flashing a different ROM for the time being.

Also, you posted this in the wrong section :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGSunny12:
Just flash the stock rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacketJ:
Yep bricked phone isn't really a problem, unless it's hardware related. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apisfires:
This right method, some times data ****ed up, so must wipe cache
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianwilkie76:
Ive tried flashing stock ROM via ODIN through the toolkit but this requires USB debugging mode. The issue is not with Omega as I was able to use my phone after flashing, I think the CWM flash didnt work properly.

How else can I flash via ODIN, the toolkit is the only way I know.

Thanks for the comments guys...

reflash cwm and see
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipue:
I d say, simply get odin separately, then re-create the same settings as when the toolkit does it.

It really is very simple once you ve done it once or twice :) Don t panic and take the time to make sure the right boxes are checked and double-triple check then reboot in Download mode, plug it in then gogo !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianwilkie76:
If I select flash via odin in the toolkit (option 8), it says make sure that USB debugging is enabled... If i try and continue it just waits for usb debugging and does not flash.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hisee:
y u r usb debugging is disable? u have to enable it before doing any thing
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacketJ:
You can use odin without the toolkit for the meantime, just run it and put your phone on downlod mode
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianwilkie76:
It's always disabled after ROM flash and I keep forgetting to re enable it..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
Ok, sry, then the toolkit reboots your device first to download mode via adb, take the already given advice to use Odin itself, just download it put the Rom tar (or tar.md5) into pda, make sure that only auto reboot and reset time is checked, reboot to download mode continue by pressing up, plugin the cable and press the start button at Odin.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prank1:
Forget running the toolkit, forget USB debugging mode. You do not need it for now.

And there is no need to download or setup ODIN or anything like that.

Just go to folder/directory where you installed the toolkit (usually C:\Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit) and look for the file called 'Odin3_v3.07' or 'Odin3_v3.04' or whatever version you find. Then run it; tada, ODIN is running now!

Now, put your phone in download mode. To do this, hold VOL DOWN and HOME and POWER buttons together and let go when you see the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' logo come up.

Then it will load up a screen that says press VOL UP to continue (and enter download mode). Press it.

Now it should say 'Downloading do not turn off target!'

Connect your USB Cable and proceed to flash a new CWM recovery using ODIN

Then once you have flashed a new recovery, boot into it (VOL UP & HOME & POWER buttons together).

Then follow my instructions from my previous post.

If you want to flash a stock ROM instead of CWM + Custom ROM then you can do that via ODIN as well.

heyy i am suffering with same problem :(

Hi i have galaxy s3

I was using Omega Rom happily since last month. But today i installed extended power menu and brightness fix mods from omega app. Then when the phone restarted it is stuck in boot (Samsung)

I did everything what could i do:

Re-installed CF-Root many times

Re-installed kernal siyah again

But nothing is happening :( its still stucked on the boot screen & it vibrates 2 3 times but the screen remains still on samsung logo :(

Guys plz tell me what should i do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prank1:
Boot into custom recovery (VOL UP & HOME & POWER buttons together)

Then:

Data/Factory reset

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Reboot into Android and see if that has fixed it; if not, then go back to CWM recovery and do the following:

Data/Factory reset

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Format /system (probably not required but just in case)

And then flash Omega ROM again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themude:
how? CMW is not opening :( the phone is only able to open in download mode nothing else. Its a fault with OMEGA 8.1 mods or maybe siyah beta kernal :(

how to start in recovery mode? If i press the 3 buttons it takes me to download mode :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prank1:

How to enter RECOVERY mode on the Samsung Galaxy S3

1) Make sure the phone is turned OFF (take out battery, wait 10 seconds, replace battery, make sure nothing appears on screen)

2) Press+Hold the VOL UP and HOME buttons, together

3) Now, whilst holding these two buttons together, press+hold the POWER button

4) Keep all of these buttons held down, don't let go even if you see the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' logo screen, ignore it and keep holding those three buttons down

5) Once you see the recovery screen, you can let go of the buttons and start using the recovery as you wish

How to enter DOWNLOAD mode on the Samsung Galaxy S3

Follow all the steps as above, except at step 2) press+hold VOL DOWN and HOME buttons together
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianwilkie76:
Silly question, can i flash any rom with odin or must it be stock...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prank1:
No

All Stock ROMs can ONLY be flashed via ODIN, not CWM

Nearly all Custom ROMs will ONLY be flashable via CWM

But if a custom ROM has been made flashable via ODIN, then you can flash it via ODIN

Most of the time you will use ODIN to flash Kernels, Radios (or Basebands as some people call them), recoveries, even bootloaders. Sometimes you can flash these even via CWM if they have been made CWM-Flashable. But custom ROMs are nearly always flashed via CWM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
Any Rom which gets shipped as tar containing the pure image files (or bin if a modem is included), so most customs not, because you get them as zip containing the kernel image, the system as folder structure (and maybe additional ones, depending in the Rom) and a script which gets executed within the recovery to handle the mount, copy,... process needed to get the Rom at the right places with correct permissions to work correct.

[HD2 General] harshadura:
Hi,

I have tried many ways to get work my HD2 back, but its still not.. when I start the phone it freezes at MAGLDR mode.

(Please see Screenshots attached for your reference.) no option buttons are displayed (only the MAGLDR heading.)

I can enter the Recovery mode as well.

I have flashed HD2 stock ROM via SD card method according to this thread I suspect this is the definite point where I have gone wrong.

According to that post Some warning messages were given..

if you are flashing an "Official" ROM direct from HTC or T-Mobile, you will more than likely over-write your SPL (Second Program Loader). This means, even if you have HSPL installed now, you could be reverted back to SSPL, rendering you unable to flash custom ROMs.

To make matters worse, if you flash an ROM higher than 2.10 and you attempt to install the current (as of 5/21/10) HSPL, you will brick your phone. Yeah, it's bad.

I have searched Forums a lot, but still no luck, Please anybody help me to solve this issue.

Thanks lot

[HD2 General] Erroneous91:
Make sure that you have the radio: 2.15.50.14, also HSPL 2.08.

This is a quick guide from scratch on how to install a Android ROM.

Flash in this order via HD2 toolkit(download it from the net):

1. task 29 (flashed via bootloader by holding volume down. Deletes ROM/MAGLDR, leaves HSPL + RADIO, this will make the phone only be able to boot to bootloader by holding the volume down key, otherwise it's stuck on the HTC logo, just pull out the battery and power on by holding the volume down button to continue flashing (don't panic, it's how it works))

2. RADIO (flashed via bootloader by holding volume down. Find a radio 2.15.50.14 on the net, if it's already flashed, try to continue, if it fails reflash the radio and re-follow the steps)

3. HSPL (flashed via bootloader by holding volume down. You have it in the hd2 toolkit, the 2.08 version)

4. MAGLDR (flashed via bootloader by holding volume down. In hd2 toolkit 1.13 version)

5. CWM (flash this by entering MAGLDR and choosing the USB Flasher option. Choose one, there are 3 to choose from, depending if your android ROM needs 150 or 200 or even 400 MB partition, DL from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898913)

6. Android ROM (insert your sd card in to a reader or boot up MAGLDR/AD Recovery option(this will launch CWM(ClockWorkMethod))/Mounts and storage/Mount SD-card this will make your phone like a flash drive, make sure it's FAT32, most probably it already is, copy the "androidromname.zip" on the root of your sd card, insert sd-card back in to the phone if you took it out for a reader, boot to MAGLDR, choose AD Recovery(this will launch CWM(ClockWorkMethod)) select install zip from sd card, then select choose zip from sd card, find the ROM on your sd card confirm Yes, after the flashing is complete, hit the back button and select first option Restart device, it will go in MAGLDR, select BOOT AD NAND.)

7. Done.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Harshadura, I am the guy who wrote that tutorial. You haven't bricked your phone (yet) so you should be okay. Just follow Erroneous91's advice, step by step and you should be have your phone running again.

I no longer own an HD2, I've switched to the Galaxy Note, so I won't be able to walk you through this one. There are still a ton of great people (like Erroneous91 :-D) who can help though.

Good luck!
[HD2 General] harshadura:
hi Erroneous91, Thanks for the Reply.

When I install Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 it stops at 96%

I tried several times, but it stops at same position. [Screenshot attached]

I tried in both ways SD card method and USB method.

Tried doing after completing Task29, but no luck

HSPL 2.08 has installed properly

and I am not able to follow rest of the tasks cause of this Radio issue.

Please help.

Thanks
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sounds like a stuck Radio the only thing I know to tell you to do is to start downloading all the stock ROMs you can find. Then try flashing them one by one. Try flashing them both by RUU and by SD card. Also start with the older ROMs and work your way to the newer ROMs. Just remember though ifyou have a T-Mobile US (TMOUS) HD2 you can not flash a radio with a 51 in it or a radio below 2.07.50.?? or you will hard radio brick the device. Maybe you will get lucky and find a ROM that will flash. Remember though that if you flash via SD card even though the flash may not complete it may have still overwritten your HSPL so check it after every flash attempt.

Edit: I just looked at the attached pictures in the OP. You problem is not a stuck radio it is your device I'D has gotten changed some how, look at the top line of the bootloader it is not correct.You can still follow my suggestion from above or you can also maybe try using the device I talk about in this post here.

Also at Erroneous91, you should have HSPL as step number one because without HSPL you can not even run a task 29. Now I know you just wanted to make sure that the OP had the correct HSPL to use MAGLDR but without HSPL you can only flash the correct stock ROMs for the HD2 so HSPL should always be the first thing to flash. Plus please refrain from telling someone that has a out of the ordinary issue with flashing or booting things correctly to use task 29. This wipes whatever usable software that is on the device off and may leave them with a device they can not get software back on to like the OP is now.
[HD2 General] Erroneous91:
Hello again,

firstly I'm gonna ask you has your HD2 hanged before by overheating, like when running Android/WP7 or similar things?

If not, this should be the final solution, follow this easy quick guide:

1. Download the attachment from udK from here: LINK IN YOUR INBOX

2. Extract in whatever folder you like

3. Download the RADIO 2.15.50.14 from here LINK IN YOUR INBOX

4. Extract the the .nbh to the folder you extracted the the Leo_CustomRUU from step 2. and rename it to RUU_Signed.nbh

5. You should now have 2 files in one folder: 1. CustomRUU.exe 2. RUU_Signed.nbh

6. Power on your HD2, enter bootloader by holding volume down key, connect USB to computer, run CustomRUU.exe and follow, it's like flashing HSPL, but instead your flashing the RADIO.

If you had the HD2 hanging before because of overheating, it's possible that on 96% it's processing too much data that it overheats again and just hangs.

Otherwise try this solution, it's basically an alternate way to install the RADIO.
[HD2 General] harshadura:
Hi Erroneous91, T-Macgnolia,

Thanks lot for the replies.

Sadly! after couple of ROM updates via SD card and via USB, now HD2 doesn't even load into Bootloader mode (Tri-color).

when I insert the battery and push the power button It nonstoply vibrates, need to remove the battery to stop the vibration.

pretty sad seen, I have no idea what to do now, kinda hard brick I guess, need to find a repairman to fix the issue.

Anyway thanks lot again for your great support.
[HD2 General] Erroneous91:
Sad...

Sadly, this really sounds like the processor overheat problem, which I had, I bought a HD2 that had the processor overheating problem earlier for parts.

What it does, it just restarts on a certain point and then just keeps vibrating, cuz it can't even pass the logo screen from restarting itself infinite times.

If yours is overheating, you can test out this by trying to chill it down(people tried by putting the HD2 in the actual freezer :laugh:, but only for a few minutes, just to make it a bit lower of the normal temp.) and trying to turn it on to see will it pass to bootloader, I'm kinda 90% sure that this is the problem now.

P.S.: if it boots normally after chilling it down in the freezer, prepare your RUU program with the renamed RADIO in the same folder, launch bootloader, connect USB, launch RUU program fast, next, next and try to make it finish the Radio installation. Also don't hold the phone in your hands, that would surely heat it up quite a bit.

I wish you good luck with the phone!

Hey guys,

I recently received an E4GT, and threw on Caulkin's latest rom with the FE22 modem. I notice that in comparison to other devices (iphone 4s, original samsung galaxy tab, OLD dell laptop) my phone can't receive signals that these other devices get.
