Ok, since you can't be bothered to look at a sticky in the development section, here you go: READ BEFORE STARTING NEW THREAD! This is DEVELOPMENT section not Q&A/General!!!! <<<<

And I'm sorry, it IS common sense. Have a Question? Post in Q&A (aka Question and Answers). How about a nifty new ROM I'm developing? Sounds like a good place to go is development. I really don't know how to break it down further, honestly. For the record, I'm not trying to be an "A-hole," but you are pushing the limits of common sense.

Now, I gave you the link, so please read it, or have an adult read it for you since you missed it the first time, despite it being a sticky (thus being at the top of the sub-forum). Better yet, read it twice so it all sinks in.

Edit: Read this, too. It's linked in that thread I gave you, but I don't trust you to find it. The True PURPOSE of XDA....Nailed it too the T:

If you read anything on these forums, read this post

Using the program here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835791

I tried to unlock my bootloader. Everything seemed to go fine until the program said the phone was rebooting.

The display went dark as if rebooting but never came back on. Since that moment I can't get the phone to power up at all. I can't get into recovery or download mode. The screen doesn't seem to even try to come on. The phone acts as if it has no battery installed even though the battery is there.

Anyone have any suggestions or do I have a legit brick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddggttff3:
sounds like a 100% legit brick. Does it show up as a device when you plug it into a windows computer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
no it doesn't show up at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Haro912:
Did you pull the battery and let it sit for a little?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
Yes but only for about 5 minutes or so. I can try longer if you think it might help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bc760:
Did your phone have enough charge before you began everything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
It was over 80% charged at the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meishkov:
Could be a major detail that some might overlook. That'd for sure do it. I got rid of my OG few weeks ago n I'm still stock so I wouldn't know this, but doesn't the process only take like 10 seconds if that? The actual flashing that's taking place. So it'd have to be quite the odds to lose juice in the middle of flashing. But wouldn't it be charging if its plugged in usb? I hope that my man who posted this gets it powered back up. Would be a major bummer otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bc760:
That's pretty strange see if when you take your battery out of the phone if you can plug into the wall and boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
Thanks everyone for the replies.

Yes I have tried it without the battery. Right now I'm letting it sit without any battery or power to it to allow all components to discharge. I'll try it again in a couple of minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
I'm beginning to think I've got a real live or rather dead brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bc760:
Just to make sure you read and followed all steps right? This one seemed crucial

**** IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS THAT SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE THEY NEED TO BE UNINSTALLED OR NOT RUNNING BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE BRICKS, Pdanet, easytether, droid explorer, kies, etc., etc., on down the line. I repeat if you have a program on your computer that syncs with your phone, it is NOT COOL TO HAVE THAT RUNNING! ****

Just trying to narrow down what the hell could cause the device not to power back up, also how long did you leave the device plugged before disconnecting or pulling the battery. Did oden stop responding or say anything other then rebooting ?

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

Also you were already rooted correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
hope you arent bricked bro. but if you manage to get started up, use ez unlock for vzw sg3. its in the play store. make the whole process take literally one second.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
The actual flashing takes approximately a second.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] egore93:
There is a company that JTAGS the phone its $60. You can YouTube it and all the info is there. Sorry to hear that this happened but there is hope!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Or instead of paying shipping plus not having a phone for a week or so, you could file an insurance claim... Haha. Last I checked Asurion was still giving new phones due to lack of refurbs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
I had to run out quickly earlier to get a new sim for my Thunderbolt so I can have a phone to use in the meantime. The sim I had for it didn't work.

Some good suggestions. Thanks everyone. I'll have to ponder my options few as they are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
Yeah but when Vzw gets it back do they then discover it was rooted and then charge me for breaking warranty? I've always wondered how much they could tell in a situation like this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrbracht:
They don't have to get it. Say you dropped it off a boat and you couldn't save it. They don't need it for insurance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidGraphix:
I had this happen on an HTC phone one-time. No joke, but to fix it, I think it ended up holding down power + volume down or up and then put the battery in. I tried a bunch of combinations like that until it booted. Same thing when taking the battery out. Does the red light show when the phone is plugged in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
I know I read all the instructions before trying to flash including the one above. I didn't have any of those kinds of programs running. When the app came up and said to click OK when the phone rebooted it kind of froze. I waited a few minutes at least before trying to click on the OK anyway but the program wouldn't respond. I finally had to use task manager on my pc to close it. This was well after 4-5 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afca9rico:
Thats ****edup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
Ahhh, think I've misunderstood your point on insurance here. Unfortunately I don't carry the monthly insurance on the phone. I was thinking of taking it back and claiming warranty saying the phone just died. Kind of unethical though. Although I guess in Verizon's eyes so is rooting and unlocking the bootloader, huh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try some more different ways such as this although I'm not too hopeful at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
Thanks Stryker,

Will definitely use ez unlock if I replace the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
I might try the jtag route. I'm a little familiar with them. Will look more into it later today.

Spending the day with the Mrs. today so I'll have to pop back on later this evening after I get home.

Thanks everyone so far for the replies and suggestions. Much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loveubuntu:
This is like stealing and is called insurance fraud. Getting away with it is not justification.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

so can this be the reason: Using Windows and Windows crashing midway through the procedure? Is that what you are saying?

Hope it will work out for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Try a different battery? Try repeating the process on a different machine (remember, just because the phone isn't on doesn't mean ADB can't communicate with it). Try ODIN, maybe can get it booted somehow through there? Just some suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ihavenewnike:
If it still isn't fixed, try another battery. Something happened to me and luckily I had to batteries. Tried the other one and it worked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rckeystone:
I'm going to stop by my Verizon store so I can try another battery with the phone. The salesperson I normally deal with told me no problem they can let me do this.

If that doesn't work I'll probably go the jtag route.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
If one has insurance doesn't that typically cover anything, like even throwing device at the wall? Why wouldn't it cover a brick then, its not a warranty claim being made.

Just curious
[Atrix 4G General] uffi69:
Hi alla guys, i would know what area tue Best optimizations that fan i install in my motorola atrix like Best kernell, radio, patch, tweaks anche what else TO optimize TO tue max my atrix. Thanks all and sorry for my bad english
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Just download CM7.2 and put Faux's latest CM7 kernel on it
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
The latest CM7 nightly. Nothing else. I used Faux's kernels for a while but one of them kept on rebooting me so I don't bother with them anymore. Overclocking was sucking up my battery anyway.
[Atrix 4G General] uffi69:
Does it is so simple?for example neutrino's rom includes lots or tweaks and patches. They are so unimpprtant? I would doing my radio better because at the moment it isn't the Best! Any suggest? Today i installed cleyms overclock and my atrix seems to work better
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
Try it. For me, I found that the performance improvements were so small that I preferred to stay up-to-date with stock CM7. My next and probably final ROM will be CM10 when it's stable.

The stock radio is almost always the one you want to stick with. I changed mine once and had to go back.
[Atrix 4G General] uffi69:
Thank you for your answer.just a question.is there the stock radio in the stock cm7?
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
ROMs don't include radios. You can try other radios but chances are there won't be much of an improvement.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Depends what are expecting from radio. Performance is about the same but GPS lock could be faster, network speed, less battery drain...

Anyway, flashing radio is much more dangerous than rom. If something goes wrong it could brick your phone. Just charge battery, choose right radio, check MD5, don't interrupt process and should be fine.
[Atrix 4G General] uffi69:
Can you link me to the radio that you are using? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] DroidRunner:
I'm on my phone so I can't really link things, but go into General of this forum. Goto the Fruitcakes thread. Its like 7 threads down from the top. The radii zips are in there.

Download one, but it in the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery and install it. Then reboot.
[Atrix 4G General] drmouse81:
I found that with, I think, v24. I also had the same issue with the stock CM7 kernel. faux v23 works well, although I still get the odd reboot.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Just click on my nick, open profile and then click on all threads I started. I use 36p.
[Atrix 4G General] uffi69:
Thank you so much for your answer. I found it and downloaded it. I saw that there is a 97 version but in every thread i looking for i found people that say that 36p is the best version so i will use this one
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
In amongst the detail from the Sony PlayStation press conference at Gamescom 2012 on Tuesday, there were a few details that we didn’t pick up. Firstly, Sony confirmed that it will no longer be offering PS one classics on PlayStation Certified devices. PlayStation Mobile will be used to host dedicated and original content only and not old ports.

This is a shame on many fronts, partly as we were still waiting for the likes of Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider to make an appearance on our trusty Xperia PLAY. It looks like Sony is now keeping these PS one Classics exclusive to the PS Vita. Sony confirmed that over 100 PS One classics will be available to download on the handheld from August 28th including Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil 2.

PlayStation Mobile is due to launch by the end of the year in nine countries including Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Australia with more countries to follow. Around thirty titles will be available at launch across a number of genres including Adventure, Action, Puzzle, and Sports.

Sony announced an impressive list of third-party developers and publishers that are working on content for PlayStation Mobile. The list contains 46 Japanese companies and 39 companies from Europe and the United States. It includes the likes of Sega, From Software, THQ, Arc System Works, Nippon Ichi, Tecmo Koei and Team 17. See the full list here [PDF].

Asus and Wikipad are new additions to the PlayStation Certified family and join the other third-party manufacturer, HTC whose 2012 smartphones (One X, One S, and One V) are also PS Certified. They join the Sony Mobile stable of smartphones and tablets including the Xperia GX, Xperia SX,

Xperia arc

, Xperia acro, Xperia PLAY, Xperia acro HD, Xperia S, Xperia ion, Xperia acro S, Tablet S and Tablet P.

Backup and uninstall (with Titanium Backup) any unnecessary apk's.

Yeah you can uninstall any system apps like default launcher(of you are comfortable using other) to free up space...uninstall root apps only with root uninstaller

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
OK so I traded in 3 nexus allready and cannot get a nexus that doesn't drop data ! I allready flashed different radios still nothing . I heard this is common with the nexus and that Verizon nexuses drops and there trying to fix it is that true ? And if not how can I fix this problem ! Its really starting to irritate me .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
You need to request a new phone, not a replacement. Luckily mine was fixed after the first replacement, but I believe there is a policy that after 3 phones, they give you either an equivalent phone, or a brand new one, factory sealed. It's 100% hardware related, so unfortunately no software will fix it.

Swyped from my Galaxy Nexus using TapaTalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Force 4g to stay on, you can do so by entering this in your phone dialer *#*#4636#*#*

Go into phone information, scroll down, and select the network speed you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
It drops all data, it's hardware related as I had the same problem. Nothing software is capable of will fix it.

Swyped from my Galaxy Nexus using TapaTalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
It was new, I got it out the box from best buy all three of them were new.

Ah, I thought he meant it drops down to 3g etc. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ickwonder:
I had this problem with both my gnexs both were made in china....I had them replaced and I recieved two Korean versions and waala no drops at all..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
I heard Google said they were gonna update this phone to 4.0.5 and it was going to fix the problem . It was suppose to be fixed for 4.0.4 but people (as of myself) have reported it still broke
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
Should I call Verizon ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nathansuchy:
Yes you should also as a side note you should checkout myforums (it is a much more relaxed community unlike this one) (the url is something dot com)

This is my 4th phone and all was defected and new ! Weird...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
If I get this from best buy mobile and have problems with it do I have to go to best buy mobile to get replacements or can I go to a Verizon store. Sorry for the dumb question I just don't know how their affiliation works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
Try Verizon first . Best buy took me 4 phones and there still all defective !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Have you tried a new sim card? My Nexus was perfect until last week, I was dropping data constantly. I called Verizon and after speaking to a couple of techs they offered to send me a new sim. I didn't expect it to work but since activating the new sim not a single drop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergioosvaldo1:
That happened to me. I called asurion. And this is my fourth and I hope last replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhAkEer:
which 4g?

LTE or Wimax?

If wimax, a simple adjustment to NAPID extensions or a reset of the dsa value may do ths trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
Wow I went to Verizon and they told me they can't do anything with my phone since it came from best buy . He said return my phone to best buy and I have to pay for a different phone after I got this one for free . If they can't give me the same phone for free then I'm just going to get the Droid incredible 4G LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
So I went to best buy for the 5th time and they gave me another phone and this one actually seemed new ! The other were supposedly "new" but the last phone I had was the book that came with the phone had taped it together . And this one was sealed lol wow, so this screen actually looks good no scratches or anything, and the 4G doesn't drop !!! I went outside and tested it and I actually watched a full YouTube video !!! So my problem is fixed and yes it was a hardware issue I'm going to go home now and root it . For people who has data drops give it back and demand for a new one bcuz its definitely a hardware issue thanks everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Glad to hear, hope it continues to be defect free.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Yeah I know the half an hour drive. Where I use to live when I needed to return anything we usually wanted till the next day because of the drive.

At least you have a working phone now though lol

My mother has went through 4 phones as well and finally the 5 seems to work properly. Same issues, radio or broken mic/call/speaker.

Wish there wasn't so many issues.. its a beautiful phone. Sucks the defects destroy such a beautiful phone.

There was no stock JB for toro, so you must have been using a custom ROM. Just pull it out of the custom ROM zip.

The weirdest thing to me... I type in "ducks without feathers" on my work or home pc and that same search shows up on my galaxy s3 a little while later. Im connected to a wireless network on both and signed in to google on all 3. Is this why? Does it work the opposite where things written on the phone show up on the computers? I find this invasive if i want to search something in private but it shows on my work pc? Anyway, just curious whats going on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakunesu:
because you are signed in on your PC with your mobile Google account. so they save search history to your account...

if you think this is invasive, the. I think you should logout of Google for when your searching up these things you for some reason don't want recorded.

on a personal note, I would say delete your accounts and toss your phone and stop using the internet if you think linking search history that is only viewable to you is invasive. do you know how many things are tracking you web wide, not just search history on Google?
