[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WA_Bob:
With any luck they'll just go straight to re-imaging it and overwrite everything without bothering to look too closely at it. Then it would be sold or made a warranty replacement as a refurb and everything will work out. I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has brought them a brick and hopefully they're not bothered enough by it to look very closely at what happened to it.

However, I would take a closer look at what ROM you're flashing on which flavor of SGS 3 this time around. Bring in more than one brick and even the slowest sales person might get to wondering! ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
If you get lucky and the AT&T employee is a good person and your phone is having a hardware issue that could never be caused by root, they sometimes don't care about your phone being rooted. It has happened toa friend of mine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oreo918:
I know that's right. I will DEFINITELY be putting any ROM I consider flashing under a magnifying glass before flashing away. :victory:

Thank you for your time and your response on this matter, it has been very helpful.

God Bless

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lienlion:
So I uses the ICS Installer v1.0 by Rouxe41, for the leak of android 4.0.3.( SV 6.14.75) a while back, i'm still on it but i want to get to .211. I know i have to get to the stock OTA first.

I'm afraid of soft bricking my phone by just letting the OTA run. Should i use RSD, if so what files and how. Can i just get the OTA and use Voodo root keeper and be fine? How do i go about gettting this and from there how do i go about getting to .211 (.211 is the latest leak, right?)?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] keith843:
If so download droid razr utitlity 1.4, go into ap fastboot, run option 1 and you should go back to stock os where you can do ota's. I had the same problem when i was going from eclipse on gb to ota ics official.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacisblack:
As far as I'm aware the N7 supports USB audio streaming. Unfortunately I cannot get this to work in my car. I have an aftermarket Sony head unit and when I plug it on it says "No Music". I can play files on a flash drive but I have to use the head unit to navigate folders/songs which is cumbersome. The unit does have the optional iDevice connector for streaming audio. Is there a certain feature I should look for in a new head unit or is there something else that would work? Looking also to use this with my AT&T GSIII, and when I plug that in it just says "No Device".

Hi,

I am using Nexus S since a year but now due to Google`s screw up in Jelly Bean (Wifi Issue) I have to root my phone to solve the problem as all the solutions are listed for rooted phone. I tried using the instructions on this forum but they all start with go to tools folder and all... but my question is how do I get tools folder and how to get Android SDK??!! I have no knowledge of rooting or any dev tools.. so.. can anyone please provide me a step by step guide to start with a scratch.. and not starting from an advanced level !!

btw.. I am using Jelly Bean.. (If it isn't obvious by now)

I would really appreciate the help!!

Thanks in advance!!

:good:
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Hi,

I'm happy to help get you set up, but before you rush into playing with tools that can break your phone permanently, I'll provide you with some very worthwhile reading material.

Bugs in Jelly Bean

How-To Install Factory Images

Tutorial on getting a clean Jelly Bean Experience

Please make sure you read what you're getting yourself into BEFORE you do anything. Instructions to setup your SDKs follow. Good luck :good::

So first of all, you'll need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) so that the Android SDK can run properly.

- Get the Java JDK Here.

One this is installed, restart your PC.

Now, we're ready to grab the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). This contains the tools 'adb' and 'fastboot' which are used by root methods/tools to send commands to your device.

- Get the Android SDK Here.

Once this is installed, reboot your PC again (don't skip the reboots, it ensures all your file associations are set up properly :good:).

Upon rebooting, launch the 'Android SDK Manager' (with Admin privileges). From here, you are able to download and install all of Google's packages, including versions of Android for an emulator, plus their tools and drivers.

At this point, you are interested only in four packages, as shown here:

Download and install these.

Now, in the folder where you installed the Android SDK, you will have a 'platform-tools' folder. This is the elusive 'tools' folder that people refer to ;)

As far as root goes, I'm going to let you do a little reading first, as it's important you understand what you're doing before you attempt it. If you run into issues or need anything else, I'll stay subscribed to this thread.

Welcome to XDA, and best of luck! :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
I was flashing stock through RSD to lock it and give it to my wife, I have locked and unlocked before with no problem at all but this time it failed so all I get is the Motorola screen and can't get back into RSD mode. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
what was installed on the phone prior to SBF? Was the phone wiped prior to flashing SBF? Was the flash successful?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
I was coming from stock rom unlocked and no it wasn't wiped before flashing SBF. I can't do anything with this phone, no rsd no fastboot nothing just the dual core technology screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
Ok so some how when I turned it on it said failed boot 4 up top and allowed me to get into rsd so I am now trying to flash the sbf again but am thinking it may fail again for some reason it is going very very slow as it did last time it failed. Been on 9% a while.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
It keeps failing at 55% when it tries to put it in BP bypass mode.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigblue4life:
Turns out it was a bad usb port...I was able to flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
That is a little peculiar, must have been frustrating till the point you figured it out.

Good you figured it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
CWM Kexec

CWM

CWM touch

??????

that will work with stock roms and asop roms and anything else???

or will we have to change recovery for whatever rom we are using at the time??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Hate to be mean, but this isn't exactly development. Should've been posted in the Q&A forum probably. To answer your question though, you don't need to change recoveries with ROMs, they are universal (until you get to booting kernels in recovery and using Kexec). Which recovery you use though, is simply personal preference for the most part.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
so you will have to change recoveries depending if you flashing a stock rom or a kexec kernel rom????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
CWM Kexec is used to flash CyanogenMod, and any other ROMs that people may put out that utilize Kexec. It's basically a work-around for the locked bootloader. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter what recovery you have. CWM and TWRP both do the same things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
so can CWM Kexec be used to flash a stock rom ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Honestly I haven't tried to flash a stock TouchWiz ROM with CWM Kexec, but I assume it could be done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
ok cool..

i found EZ-Recovery so i can switch back and forth as needed

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
TWRP and CWM are for touchwiz roms generally, and CWM kexec is for aosp (aokp, cyanogenmod, etc).

update: after some testing, cwm kexec works oon touchwiz also so honestly i would use that until the bootloader unlock is complete. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
I use CWM kexec with a Synergy (TouchWiz) and the iwo kernel. The kernel is why I use kexec but I'd say the kexec is worth it so you don't need to worry about switching to it if/when you decide to use an aftermarket kernel or rom that requires kexec
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rok3r:
i was trying to install a rom,and in the CWM i formated the sd along with the others by mistake,now i can't reach the rom i transfered and the phones won't boot for sure

i tried to flash the google stock with gnex toolkit (using step 9) and i downloaded the file but it fails and what is shown to me is what you have in the attached image,it gets stuck at the "sending radio"

what should i do,i really need urgent help here

please just know that i'm a total noob so please tell me what to do step by step so i could understand
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NerdFurgison:
What Nexus do u have gsm or verizon? If it's Verizon you picked the wrong version and it's flashing a gsm radio. If it's gsm it could be a bad download or you picked the wrong version not too sure about that I have a Verizon nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rok3r:
it's a GSM,and i chose the right version stated in the toolkit thread and the one i installed the drivers and unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phones with it

is there a way to transfer a file in the CWM mode? can i transfer the rom in this mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
You should do these commands in fastboot instead of using a toolkit.

Here is a step by step guide how to get back to stock. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Edit: to answer you question about pushing a file in recovery, you can. You must use adb. The command is adb push nameoffile.zip /data/media
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rok3r:
i installed the sdk and found the adb.exe in the platform tools folder now what should i do?!! should i transfer the rom .zip to the same directory of the adb.exe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Put the zip in the same folder and hold shift and right click select open command prompt here. Then adb push the zip onto your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
You got clockwork recovery? If so, you need cwm flashable version of radio, boot loader and ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Yes move it to the same directory. Open the command window in that directory. (Shift+right click > open command window here)

Then type: adb push rom.zip /data/media
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rok3r:
OMG!!! Device not found,same message i got in the toolkit when i tried to push the files :((((((((

drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Yes most likely a driver issue. Type adb devices in command. If if returns a device number everything is set up correctly. If not reinstall the drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atifsh:
If you are trying to push in bootloader adb won't work. Get in to recovery cwm works fine than do the adB push
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rok3r:
THAAAAAAAANNNNKKKKSSSSSS!!!

seriously thanks for the help,i am totally new to this and felt like i killed my phones with my inexperienced self

i was a driver problem and i used the toolkit to uninstall and install again the driver and then used the toolkit to push the files but it said something like adb is already in root access or whatever so i headed to the adb.exe and it did it!!!!

thanks man for the great help again!!!!!:good:

this will make me learn to do a nandroid hahahaha

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] LiquidAppo:
Let me start by saying I absolutely love this phone. For a long time I tried to convince myself that the removable battery and expandable storage on the GSIII made it a better buy, but it's useless. I love the design and screen of this phone and know I would regret getting anything else. However, I simply can't cope with it if the multitasking doesn't work, and if HTC/AT&T has succeeded in stopping us from unlocking the bootloader. I want to jump on the new price, but I have to know what the state of these two things are.

Many thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DJ-midnite:
The bootloader can be unlocked and is relatively easy to do so but may not last forever i think, and as for the multitasking it can be improved with cleanrom or other roms and with the kernel source out im sure the devs here can fix it
