I was just trying to explore my gnex. I thought this is some kind of recovery error. Also in various threads i saw people discussing this as an some kind of issue with OTA update etc.

Anyway thanks for the quick reply :o

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupTech86:
Hi All

First of I would like to thank you all for having me on your forum.

Second, I live in South Africa, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and my service provider is Vodacom.

I am trying to root my device.

I did manage to get into the "Downloading" Mode and using Odin I managed to install the "clockworkmod"

The next step is to boot into recovery mode (Press and hold Volume Up, Home Button & Power Button) but my S3 does not want to go into recovery mode. When I follow the steps it freezes on The Galaxy Logo.

I really want to root my device to use ALL of the awesome stuff you guys develop.

Thank You in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
Only hold vol up + home + power until you see the white galaxy s3 writing then release :-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupTech86:
Hi

Thank You for the Reply.

I did only hold it down until the logo pops up and then I released.

It still freezes. I have tried holding it in for longer.

I have checked the net and came across different methods and that did not work.

Could it be that Vodacom changed how it goes into recovery mode?

I would say flash an open fw through Odin. *2767*3855# to clean phone from obsolete data. Make sure to backup what you need. Flash CF through Odin.

Boot to recovery through cwm app.

I have only ever had the media and camera transfer option. It is normal
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] STraver:
Thanks for your response!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redheadplantguy:
It is normal. It's due to how ICS manages memory now. In order versions, you would have internal memory, which is the partition where apps were stored and run from, them you had USB mass storage. Where you stored files. The problem with the older versions of android was you could fill up your app partition and have no more room for any. Even though you had plenty of internal storage left. With ICS, is all one big, happy partition. You can now use your entire 32GB of storage for apps now, if you do desire.

[Sony Tablet S] diddy64:
Anyone else having a problem with tablet not showing up on computer after ICS. Updated the tablet with Allinone version 4 without any problem but now i need to shift some pictures onto the computer. When i plug in the tablet nothing happens on either the pc or the tablet. Ive used 2 different cables and used 2 different computers but nothing shows up. Debug is on. As far as im aware this has only happened after the ICS rooted update.

I thought that by transferring the pictures over to the sd card would at least sort that out but now i read and tried that external card is being read as "read only". So cant transfer the pictures to sd card and computer not recognising the tablet, now what?

Any advise?

D.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Your computer not recognizing your tablet sounds like an ADB driver problem, so you may have to reinstall the drivers. Condi's AIO Tweaks and Mods submenu items 12 and 11 will solve your problems with sdcard and sdcard2 write permissions and USB Mass Storage support so your computer can access your tablet's memory. Searching the forum about these problems will provide you with additional information on how to deal with them as they have been discussed several times.
[Sony Tablet S] diddy64:
Thanks for the reply. Its been so long since i initially setup the tablet. Correct me if I am wrong but when the tablet is connected to the computer the tablet should show up as sony s tablet, is that when the drivers need to be installed. Ive a shocking memory. Im starting to panic as ive documents that I have done in collage. Without the sd card transfering data to extenal in knackered.

So, if I plug the tablet in and NOTHING shows up either on tablet or pc, does that mean that the drivers need to be reinstalled?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Reinstalling the drivers is what other people have had to do to solve the problem you seem to have. For example, read this thread: ADB Issues after ICS update?
[Sony Tablet S] diddy64:
Thanks for your time and effort. I have seen this post when i was searchings for answers. Problem is that NOTHING happens when i plug the sony into the computer. Tablet does not acknowledge that debugging is available through the usb even though it is ticked on the tablet. The computer shows nothing either as the tablet has not got into communicating through usb. So to uninstall the drivers will be impossible until the pc recognises the tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
The computer is probably not recognizing or listing the tablet because the device drivers are borked. In Microsoft Windows, you can uninstall unlisted (unrecognized) devices by going into Device Manager, selecting "View" from the standard menu, selecting "Show hidden devices" (which should cause unlisted/unrecognized device names to be listed), then right-clicking on the device's name and selecting "Uninstall". After uninstalling the device, select "Action" from the standard menu, then select "Scan for hardware changes" to cause the computer to detect the tablet and prompt you to install the device drivers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arisenhavok91:
Okay, so here's my issue. The usb port in my phone is dead, and I don't have 30 bucks to send it to mobiletechvideos to fix it. I also do not have a soldering iron, solder, and a desoldering braid to do it myself. Therefore I cannot use Odin via my computer anymore.

I downloaded Mobile Odin Pro v3.00, and becuase I am on Cyanogenmod 9 (REMICSv1.3) I am unable to load Mobile Odin. It states that it did not expect the file system and closes. To my understanding this is a failure of the APP/App maker (Chainfire) becuase the app does not know how to recover from a MTD to BML conversion. (And by failure i just mean it doesn't work, I am not implying he's bad or the app is bad). I'm really hoping that he can figure it out, 'cause right now I'm stuck with pure ICS roms (And I hate the look of ICS, hence using a TouchWiz themed ICS rom...)

So, with that said...

Is there (and this is high hoping) a CWM flashable .zip that will convert from MTD to BML that I could use?

Process would look something like this:

1. Power phone off

2. 3 button boot into Recovery

3. Wipe data/factory reset

4. Flash zip (MTDtoBML.zip)

5. Reboot into recovery

6. Flash Gingerbread rom

7. ???

8. Profit.

I ask becuase I don't want to be on ICS anymore. It has more issues than my grandma's back, and I just plain old enjoy gingerbread. (flash addict).

If so, could someone direct me to the zip file, or at least explain why this is or is not possible?

Kind of fiending for some old school Cognition or Perception (can't find active DL links), or maybe some old gingerbread roms...

Thanks,

Arisenhavok

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you don't like ics, try miui, cm7, or my phrog or phobos roms. All use mtd, and you should be able to flash from your cm9 setup to one of them.

Fyi, it may take two flashes for the room to "take".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arisenhavok91:
I've taken a look at both lewa and phrog and they seem yo have a significant issue or two listed in the op. Miui is EOL if I remember. I guess I'm more geared towards a BML RFS Touchwiz rom. But I suppose I will once again have to try looking for another mtd rom
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topshot:
I'm in a similar situation as OP except the radio also doesn't work apparently and have been wondering what I can do with it aside from just use it as a wifi-enabled media device. Since we're able to overwrite as least SOME files in the efs folder (nv_data.bin), I got to wondering if I could replace the entire system partition (or as much as possible) with a known good one (I have a second Captivate that works fine) to make certain there's nothing in software that is messing with the radio. So I'd copy everything from the good phone to SD card and then from SD card onto bad phone. I assume the only major hurdles other than inability to write some open files perhaps would be the SN & IMEI. If I can locate where those are kept, I could edit before copying. Being new to smartphones and this OS, there must be something I'm missing since this seems so simple.

And yes, I've flashed 2 other CM ROMs (I bought it with one on it) and flashed different radios but it never sees the service. It is also unlocked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arisenhavok91:
Replacing the efs partition will only at best get you to a generic imei. Your cell radio gets no signal because the efs partition and radio don't communicate or there's a hardware issue. Best bet is to send it to mobile tech videos and let them fix it for you. It's cheaper by far than a new phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arisenhavok91:
Unlocking it may have also broken it. Probably why they sold it in the first place. Best bet is to use it as a wifi media player with apps and games unless you plan to send it out
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topshot:
I have 3 other phones I can use so it's not worth sending off. I figured I'd resell it for parts so I wasn't concerned with bricking it. I was hoping to verify whether the radio would work or not to get more money out of it. What controls whether the efs can communicate with the radio chip? Drivers obviously, which is what I gather flashing a new "radio" does. What file in the efs controls radio comm that could be corrupt?

I guess I should also specify by no service, it's not the circle and slash, but 4 gray bars. Phone status shows network as unknown (it will not find any when you do a search) and disconnected. SIM card works in 3 other phones and all 6 contacts seem fine in the suspect one. WiFi and GPS work OK. Maybe I should disassemble and verify antenna contact is good?

He'd claimed it was because of the bad USB port. I've never read about unlocking rendering the radio useless. I'll have to look that up. It seems so simple to unlock these Galaxy S series.
