usb debugging enabled is not useful in this case (you can't set it )

build.prop is a file with .prop extension save file with notepad++ name it build.prop then check location of file it should be build.prop notepad from Windows saves it as build.prop.txt that's not good also notepad adds some formatting characters inside file that's wrong so use only Notepad++ when working on Android files (or VIM for Windows editor etc anyway do not use Windows editors they are good for Windows files only)

-try these things on another computer (to install drivers etc)

-I advised somebody to send a mail to manufacturer and he got a reply with a link to stock rom... that's great !

-if you link me your build.prop file I can tell you if it's ok

-pc link - that's to be solved firstly check manufacturer site for sync software/ drivers even send mail

isa. rgiespea

that's great news, you actually come to emailing the phones manufacturer? wow, im flattered. well you're a very nice guy to help me out on this. and i have good news too. i found out that i have a little conflicting usb drivers, as i have installed samsung for my previous phone(samsung galaxy 1) i had it liquidated for this new one. but a little hard on the support. you gave me a new idea about the usb. so i uninstalled all the related usb drivers and have it reinstalled. now i am able to communicate with OTA firmware server, and i got a reading that was not happening before(stucked in just detecting the phone) now i have a percentage reading of downloading or so. but i still have to wait if it will complete and have it repaired. so by now you can give me a little more help cause im still not at it in pushing through the use of adb programming. and the link you mentioned, i'll wait for the progress about it and see what really was it. and thanks a lot. really appreciate it.

fixed bricked phone via OTA by fixing link to pc.

Hi, i thank you for your help. i managed to fix the phone myself. i just missed the simple step that you advised me. fix the link first to pc. i have installed another model of the phone for the same manufacturer with different type so that was causing the mixed up for updating and recovering via the OTA site of the phone. so yey. you helped a lot. i thank you. i am now running at ics version 4.0.4 and now rooted. i will not commit the same mistake of saving the build.prop with another format. that was bad. so then i'll be very careful in editing the build.prop and first of all, i will keep a backup inside where i can access it even if it will be hard bricked. never forget that one from now on. :D so this is it. i thank you. of all the place ive been circling around for answer. here is where i found it. and just one person. hooray. thank you very much.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nix80908:
When I got the phone (before rooting,etc.), my sister tried to send me a picture and I never recieved it. I kind of shrugged it off as a network error.

I use Go SMS instead of the stock SMS app anyway. Every now and then, I'd get a message saying "Messaging has stopped." but it never bothered me.

Since then, I rooted and installed the CM10 preview on the phone (amazing piece of work, might I add :highfive:)

I had issues reciving (and sending) pictures then, but I recall specifically reading there was issues with that.

After restoring to stock, the Messenger app wouldn't even load, and force closed every single time. It forced me to use a third party texting, but since I regularly use Go SMS, not a biggie for me. But no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the messaging app to ... well work.

Also, as before, I still cannot recieve a picture. No clue why. Makes no sense for me. Sounds like a software issue, but after multiple restores / formats, I'm really not sure.

A friend of mine also had the same issue. I'm posting to see if anyone's come accross this before, AND possible solutions.

Thanks for your input guys! :good:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul911:
Hi there, I have been reading around on this forum for some time now but this is my first post and I have a few questions about rooting my UK version of the Galaxy S3.

Just to clarify, I am NOT asking how to root a phone, I already know exactly how to do this and the risks involved etc etc, I just want to know a couple of things about what happens after the root.

1. When a nandroid backup is performed after the phone is rooted, is ROM that is backed up COMPLETELY standard or does it have some remains of the root included? i.e. if I wanted to go back to my stock ROM, will it be exactly as it was or will the phone still have some remains of the root in the backup?

2. Does rooting on its own increase the flash counter? I know flashing a new ROM does, but am unsure whether rooting on its own does this (and yes, I am already aware of TriangleAway :p )

3. In referance to question 1, does reflashing a completely stock ROM remove the root access? (just in case it has to go back for repairs etc).

4. After rooting does anything change with the stock functions of the phone? e.g. will play store still work ok, will apps still update officially through play store etc. Adding to this, will flashing a custom ROM disable these functions? (the ROM I am possibly looking to install is CM)

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help, I understand a couple of these may be stupid questions but I've searched for a long time and as this will be my first root I just want to be absolutely sure what the process involves :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
1. Whe you perform a nandroid backup..everything gets backedup..if you are on a rooted rom when doing a backup (you have to be rooted to do this) your rom will have the root when you install the backup again... to remove the root you will have to unroot your device using means given in various thread...you might have to install a stock firmware in download mode using Odin..even the stock ROM you flash via recovery will have root

2. Any action performed in the download mode will increase your flash counter..rooting is done in download mode via Odin so it increases your flash counter..custom roms are flashed in recovery so they dont increase your flash counter..

3. Read point 1 again

4.The functions present after installing a custom ROM depends upon the ROM..read the OP before flashing (ALWAYS)..but if you are not flashing a test ROM..you will get all the fuctions.. in CM9/10 you will get all the google options..you will loose Samsung specific functions..Smart Stay, Smart Beam etc.

Hope it helped...:cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul911:
Thanks for your reply, that helped a lot :)

Just one more thing in response to your answer about my 1st question - I am currently on the Three network and it comes with a couple of things as standard in the ROM, so is there any way to backup the ROM without being rooted, just in case it has to go back to Three for repair? Or is there somewhere where I can download a completely stock Three branded ROM to keep safe in case I need it in the future?

Thanks :)

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
the emulators don't stay up on the market forever. There has been a few great emulators that were pulled from the market over the years, some one just probably needs to put in a pull down notice to google. :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] duloz:
Emulators are not illegal. They are reverse engineered from the actual console, reverse engineering is legal. in fact, this is how ea games got their start, reverse engineering the Sega genesis to figure out how to make game cartridges...

The great emulators that get pulled from the market get pulled because they are based almost entirely on open source emulators originally developed on another platform, but are placed in the play store as paid apps, a direct violation of the original open source license of the emulator.

I just updated my Sprint Evo 3d to ICS last night and before I learned that you can't see Facebook contact images in 3rd party apps without some tinkering I deleted my gmail and Facebook accounts from the phone thinking that would help. When I put my accounts back Facebook only automatically linked half of my contacts. I selected the option to sync with existing contacts. Is there any way to get it to automatically link the rest? I don't want to manually link 100+ contacts. Is there a way to manually trigger the linking? Also, I don't know if it matters, but before the ICS update I had Facebook and Facebook for sense on the phone. Now it is only Facebook.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr nerd:
The other 100 might now have a phone number linked to fb or the names are,diffrent or you don't have an email for them or some kind,of linking info I'm your phone but the fb app should allow you to resync the people in settings I think
[HTC EVO 3D] killerz298:
All the names are identical so that isn't a problem and they linked perfectly fine when I first got the phone with gingerbread. When I first set up the phone periodically the phone would alert me to possible contact links every so often until they were all linked. It isn't doing that now.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639275
[HTC EVO 3D] killerz298:
Sitlet I think that is for a different issue. My problem isn't that 3rd party apps can't get the pictures (well that WAS my problem originally), it is that the link is not being established in the first place. I can fix the picture issue but I need the phone to prompt me about potential links between the contacts so I don't have to do it manually. The fix in that thread won't LINK my contacts right? It will just allow 3rd party apps to get the contact photos.
[HTC EVO 3D] killerz298:
In case anyone cares, it took about 48 hours and last night I received the prompt suggesting I link contacts. I have no idea why it would take so long to trigger but all is well in the world now. Thanks to those who tried to help.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
I bet it's facebook's problem. They've been having a lot of issues with the mobile app. Mine, along with many other people, has been logging out and having problems with sync lately.
[HTC EVO 3D] killerz298:
Yeah for a few days it forced me to login every time. It wasn't just the mobile app though it was doing it to me on the regular web version as well.

Now that I have this all figured out it leads me to my next question. I used syncmypix to grab the high quality images from FB instead of the **** low rez ones that it imports itself and it synced it to my gmail account. However, the phone is set to default to the FB picture not the Google version. I can go into each contact and tell it to use the gmail photo but once again, I would rather not have to do that. Anyone know of a batch way of doing this?

For the statusbar icons, you need to have a rom of Team Venom on your smartphone.

If this is the case, you install the apk of your choice downloaded from post # 1. Then you go to the tweaks Venom, Statusbar tab and you select the theme "Red Sphere ..." to apply.

That's it.

Thanks Cat.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcpathak:
Hi,

I recently rooted my Desire Z and installed the CWM recovery. Now, I came to know that the CWM creates ext3 partitions while 4EXT makes ext4 partitions. I have two queries:

1. Does the latest CWM Touch recovery creates ext4 partitions like 4EXT?

2. If no, then how should I uninstall the CWM and install the 4EXT. I have downloaded the 4EXT Recovery Updater.

dcpathak
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
CWM Touch is just a touch interface to CWM so, to the best of my knowledge (I haven't used CWM since the system reset bug back in v3) it doesn't do ext4 partitions.

To get 4ext, just download the free installer from 4ext.net or buy the pro version from the Market/Play (highly recommended, and it helps support the dev). From either app, just follow the instructions and it will download 4ext Recovery and flash it over CWM recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcpathak:
Thanks a lot friend :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcpathak:
Just one more query (and perhaps a silly one!). If I flash 4Ext via the updater, will my mobile have 2 different recoveries with a choice to go to any or 4Ext would replace the CWM and will be the only recovery available?

So, I can't post in development yet, so hopefully enough folks here can help me out.

I've done everything I can to get my phone back to stock to bump up to LG8.

I'm unrooted and I flashed the bare bones stock LEN ROM back onto my phone so now both my baseband and build version match (LEN). No root, stock recovery and I'm still getting that same Status 7 error.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
If you flashed a bare bones ROM ull be missin stuff and it will fail. Flash stock tar in Odin and all will be well. Stock tar: http://samsung-updates.com/get/1917/Samsung_Firmware_SPH-L710_SPR_L710VPALEN_Android_4_0_4.html

Really tho, the only important thing from the updates was the modem. Could always DL that here and flash seperately. Then manually chg or build so you don't get the update prompt. Seems like a lot of work on your end just for a worthless ota. At any rate tho that link should solve or problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] batto1:

Any idea what may happen without that check?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
if your on stock then i cant see there being any problems, i think ur failing the checks because of somethin small ur missing. At worst you wont boot/softbrick thats why the nandroid is reccommended so you can always reverse if it happens. was getting tired of status 7s myself which is why i did that when i was runnin stock. workd for me. But ya, worst case scenario, u gta restore ur nandroid, should be fine tho. You can flash it rooted btw. it will flash with root just fine although itll probly patch it. Needs cwm as well, will most likely fail in stock recovery as it is not signed anymore
