[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] air2k57:
Did you know that when sprint signs a customer who gets an iPhone they don't see profit off that customers till month 26?! That's, 4 months after eligibility resets and 2 after your contract expires. It may only take $200 to make, doesn't mean carrier buys it at that price.

It is funny how some people think that carriers get these phones dirt cheap when they do not, that's why we have contracts, to help offset that hit companies take initially.

Look it up, sprint might be adding subs, but they are bleeding money as result of the iPhone, primarily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
The fact that Sprint made a deal with the devil has nothing to do with this subject, in fact this is a Galaxy S III not an "iPhone". Sprint was the only carrier foolish enough to pay what they paid to sell the phone. The phone doesn't cost that much, but Sprint foolishly agreed to pay apple for the "privilege" to sell that phone. Sprint dug that hole so what you are saying has no bearing on a simple repair or insurance. Wake up man don't dare be foolish enough to believe the hype o.k.. I have negotiated contracts for equipment and purchased them for 25 years, and I can tell you at the cost of these phones they are not losing money. I'ts amazing how broke people like yourself listen to rhetoric and then praise the companies robbing you. If they were bleeding that kid of money they would go out of business.

Verizon makes 49% off of it's products, and is pushing droid over iPhone because of this premium. Sprint was on top and abused its customers in the beginning by taking away the very thing that got them to the top at one point.....service and no contracts. In the beginning there were no subsidies when you bought a phone. The bleed is only from iPhone sales poorly implemented, and customers leaving for lack of service! The iPhone has nothing to do with them screwing you, but you go ahead and talk from your arse I need a smile every now and then.

What do you think carriers are buying phones at full retail? The iPhone is the only phone that commanded a huge pay out, and that was Sprints choice. They would have been better off building out their network, but they did add subscribers which was their main goal. I am willing to bet they don't pay more than the 199 that they collected for this phone period! Regardless of that fact this thread is not about the iPhone and it's subsidies.

Just an update

I thought I would follow up on my previous post. I received my NEW phone today from Fed-Ex at about 2 pm. So it wasn't that bad of a turn around I don't suppose. Now off to put my protective screen and case on it just in case.

Why not call your bank/credit card company and dispute the charge
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
I did finally receive a new phone on the 20th of August, which was 17 days after I filed the claim. I just want you to all know that there is an alternative to getting a cracked phone repaired other than Asurion/Sprint. The cost is way less if you factor in paying 11.00 monthly after the 1st tow months. Asurion is only cheaper if you use it the 1st month.

Now if you are worried about theft or losing the phone stay with the Asurion TEP it really is that simple.

Is this the first battery cycle after you flashed it? If yes, you need to give it at least three before you judge the battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sunster00:
Question for the experts here:

I am on the new hboot 1.14.0002 after taking the OTA update on my 1.88 Asian stock rom (I chose to bite the bullet and go down this route) and now I'm getting "Failed (remote: signature verify fail)" when trying to flash radio.imgfastboot.

I have supercid and am rooted, htcdev unlocked. I also flashed custom recovery (TWRP) and recently a custom rom (KingCobra1x). Interestingly I flashed the boot.img in fastboot without any problem, but not the radio. This is the bit I don't understand.

Am I missing something here? I've read posts that say radio flashing in fastboot still works after upgrading, but that may not be for hboot 1.14.

Thanks in advance,

Sunster
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kilo89:
Typically we can't flash new radios without S-Off. There was a sort of loophole found that allowed us to do it before but I believe it has been fixed with the new hboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
If you are rooted you can try just dd'ing it right from android, assuming there's not WP on that partition.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sunster00:

I just thought I would throw in my 2c, I'm on HBOOT 1.11 and am unable to flash radio via fastboot due to the same error. I am able to install the radios in this thread,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694012&highlight=radios

by just flashing the zip though? Is this expected behaviour?

EDIT:

Scrap that, here is everything I did in order, I can't make any 'sense' out of it...

1) running CM10-20121006 with HTC TELSTRA 1.89(0.18c.32.09.01_10.93a.32.20L) baseband

2) attempted to flash HTC TELSTRA 2.40 (0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L) radio via fastboot

fastboot flash radio ~/Downloads/radio/radio.img

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

3) attempted to flash HTC TELSTRA 2.40 (0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L) radio from zip

SUCCESS!!!

4) dirty flash CM10-20121008, radio has changed to ATT 1.85 (0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L)? WTF?

5) attempted to flash HTC TELSTRA 2.40 (0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L) radio from zip

no error but no change in reported baseband

6) attempted to flash HTC TELSTRA 2.40 (0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L) radio using dd

no error but no change in reported baseband

7) dirty flash back to CM10-20121006, radio has reverted to HTC TELSTRA 2.40 (0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L)? WTF?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
dude its been two days lol it takes a lot of work to develop a quality product. patience is the key. i am almost certain that since many developers were avoiding this phone because of the locked bootloader, this forum will explode with new products within a week or two and this device will get the support it deserved!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neh4pres:
i realize it's been 2 days. I don't know what was involved with kexec. But i just figured it would be simple to delete the code and build a new kernel. I'm just used to the fascinate days with devil and glitch kernels. If a new feature was not playing nice sometimes it would take an hour for a new build to come up with it stripped out. I realize we were spoiled :).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevenjcampbell:
No.

Kexec isn't something that just galaxy s3 phones have used, it is a very old solution to a stubborn problem of flashing firmware on computing devices.

So the roms themselves from what I've learned today need to have no kexec dependencies too, therefore the rom itself needs to be able to boot from a "normal" kernel.

There is a decent wikipedia article that doesn't get incredibly technical, I suggest you read it. The first paragraph explains exactly what's happening succinctly and quickly:

Is this first time are you trying to Root, Unlocking bootloader?

If u are using Milestone with already unlocked bootloader then u can directly boot to Open recovery and flash your required ROM.

If u are now flashing for the first time refer instructions from link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983516

You have to flash the correct sbf file.

? Have you installed Open recovery ? copied update.zip file in root of SD card or /SDCARD/update.zip

1. Press Camera button + power On

2. You will be asked either to install Open Recovery - update.zip file. or if u have already installed OR then it should directly take you to OR.

3. Flash the required ROM.

The problem is with ROM manager issues with the latest CM9 the the media scanner not working well. The latest ROM manager adds .nomedia files in media folder which apparently led to your issue.

Browse through your media files and folders using a file manager, delete all .nomedia files you see in any of the folders and reboot.

All should be well after that

If the problem still persists do let me know.

Try using your computer to search for any extra .nomedia files you may have missed.

You will have to try to things, I'm sure one of them will work.

1. We need to forcing media scanner to rescan your media files.

- search for and download 'rescan media' in Google play.

-open the app and force rescan your media files.

-reboot your device and see if it works.

*** If first solution works, then skip the next solution

2. We will need to mount your SD card in recovery.

- Reboot to recovery.

- mount SD card (under mount)

-fix permissions (under Advanced)

-reboot your phone

-apply solution one

This is the final solution I can offer.

You will need your Pc.

Please don't miss any step.

1.

- connect your device to your Pc

- move/cut your media files and folders to a location on your Pc (double check these folders on your Pc to ensure .nomedia files are not present in the folder)

- reboot your device

- If you have ROM manager installed, please uninstall it with titanium and reboot your device.

- Create new folders for your media files using any file manager on your internal SD card. Don't copy anything to them yet.

- Take a picture with your phone, check if it's showing in your gallery.

- reboot your device

- Check again if the pic you took the other time is still showing in your gallery

- Download QUICKPIC from market as a reference gallery app.

- open quickpic and see if the pic you took the other time is also showing there.

If the pic you took is showing in the gallery app, then you can proceed to step 2.

2.

-connect your phone to your Pc

-copy back your media files (don't copy the folders) to the new folders you created on your internal SD card in step 1.

-reboot your device.

-open both gallery app and quickpic to confirm if all of them are showing now.
