non-rooted sgs3 photo recovery needed !!!

I am a new to the forum, please be kind.

Question- How do i recover deleted photo folder from the internal memory (not removable micro sd card) of my stock, NON-ROOTED AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 3 ?

This is the SGH-i747 model that has never been updated or rooted or anything.

Don't think you can on an unrooted phone. Quick search on play store and Google isn't very promising. There are desktop utilities but as the S3 connects in mtp mode not mass storage none of these work. The are 4 or 5 apps on play store but they all require root.

Multitasking

Considering an AT&T S3...I'm a long time iPhone user.

One of these threads led me to believe that multitasking was not possible or seriously lacking on an S3.

I find this hard to imagine...at any rate this would be a deal breaker for me with Android.

1) Is there a function similar to the "App-Switcher" on an iPhone ?

2) If you are composing an email, can you access contacts and photos to insert and access the calculator as well?

Thanks in advance !!

I know it's possible to remove the root from the phone, and bring the flash counter down, making the warranty usable again, but I can't seem to find a thread for it, or one for any Canadian carriers.

And just so I'm clear, when I just root the phone and load the stock root using Odin, would all of my files still be there? I'm using the Go Launcher app right now, which takes the place of TouchWiz. Will I have to reinstall Go Launcher + my other apps/widgets?

Also, can I follow the CyanogenMod wiki page guide for the AT&T model to flash CyanogenMod? I would most likely use ROM Manager to install it, but at the bottom, it says it will "wipe data and cache". Would that still happen if I don't select that option after I finish downloading the ROM? Do I have to wipe the cache and data to properly install the ROM?

Wise decision...Android ICS introduced an awesome multi-tasking feature. On the gs3 you can hold down the Home button and it will bring up your recently used apps. You can switch back and forth, or just swipe your finger across the screen to close the app. As opposed to on the iPhone, you must double click the home button, then to close an app you must hold down the app and then click the tiny - sign.

I'm currently rooted and using the latest CWM recovery. What's the easiest way to switch to TWRP recovery? I've used TWRP before on my One X, but I've never switched between recoveries (other than updating CWM through RomManager on my SIII). Oh, and I'm running a rooted stock right now. No custom ROM.

Steps after resetting the flash counter

Help with installing custom rom on my Rogers S3.

I rooted it using galaxy s3 toolkit in ATT forum and got superuser

installed titanium back up and backed up the apps.

downloaded ARISTODEMOS rom and put it in my external sd card

Now I'm trying to access the recovery mode, but I Can't.

I press and hold volume up+home+power but after samsung logo nothing happens and as soon as I let go of the buttons, phone reboots.

But when I press and hold Volume DOWN+home+power it gives me a warning that installing custom os can cause critical problems and press volume up to continue or volume down to cancel with a yellow triangle in bottom.

So I browsed xda again and realized I had tripped the flash counter so I installed Triangle AWAY and RESET the counter

But it's still not allowing me to get into recovery. What should I do now?

Pop Up Play Feature

Hey, I recently switched over from an iPhone 3GS to an ATT Samsung Galaxy S3 and I am currently rooted on Cyanogen Mod 10 Nightly build (latest version). I know when you flash a custom ROM, it removes the bloatware, touchwiz and such.

My question: Does the Cyanogen Mod 10 ROM have the pop up player feature or was it removed because it was integrated into touchwiz?

I will appreciate it if someone replies.

P.S. I am a super noob when it comes to Android, but I am loving it since there are so many possibilities to customize your phone. Thank you so much :D

Hi, I tried google searching and searching the forums but couldn't find an answer...

I tried to root my friends ATT SGS3 via QBKing's method for the various LTE carriers.

I got all the way to recovery, but in recovery there is no option to install from zip. Just install from cache, wipe cache and such. I couldn't see the CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5 tar file in any of the options either.

What I did from here was wipe all cache and such that I could in recovery, went into the phone and reset to factory settings.

Tried to go into download mode to try all over again, and I booted into recovery again with the same issue, no install from zip... and now I can't go into download mode to try all over again. Am I just missing something completely obvious?

I spent my first 2 months on Cyanogen and liked it. I switched to AOKP but found some of the things I liked in CM to be missing here. Now I'm on Task & Ktoonsez rom and it seems to have struck a pretty close balance of the mods/changes on CM10 and AOKP that I liked into a single bundle.

Each rom is different. Each rom will give different people different results. I found CM10 was draining my phone's battery VERY rapidly for what I thought was normal use. The Task rom I'm on now feels much better. I think it's largely because I haven't spent as much time with my head in the phone like i have been in the past.

So from my limited knowledge of how android is set up, this isn't making a lot of sense to me. So why are the international roms not compatible with our AT&T phones?

I was under the impression that our phones are essentially the same except for the processor. Therefore, with the right kernel and the right rom tweaks to get the kernel and rom talking as well as "smaller" things like correct APN settings, correct modem and so forth what is the big hold up?

Although not a dev I'll throw a couple things out there lol. It's more than just the cpu. Even the cpu is totally different. I'll try to make a quick table with the major differences

North American S3......... International S3

Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon ......... Exynos 4212 Quad

Dual-core 1.5 GHz......... Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9

Adreno 225......... Mali-400MP

HSDPA, 21 Mbps, HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps, LTE, Cat3, 50 Mbps UL, 100 Mbps DL..... HSDPA, 21 Mbps, HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps

2 GB Ram........ 1GB Ram​

These are the major hardware components of the two phones, as you can see they aren't even close. The second last line has to do with the modems which also aren't even close. It would not be worth it(not sure even possible). But, if you can make it work you'd be very well respected around here. It certainly wouldn't be a quick port lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Samurai707:
So I tried doing that, but Rom Manager wants me to already be rooted (or have Super User already...). Thing is, I can no longer access download mode, and while in recovery my only options are as follow:

Reboot

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

_____________________________________________________________________

Is there a way to legitimately completely wipe the phone? Because whenever I wiped it back to factory nothing changed. Still can't access download mode and this is what happens when we three button reboot into recovery...

Edit: we both have SD cards as well, so I thought like the other reply to my question was correct that it installed and I wasn't used to the commands. Tried to install from external storage (the TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip) and it said I failed signal verification.

My 1st stupid question

Hi Everyone,

I'm brand new to the android OS, previously had a blackberry torch. No previous flashing or modding experience. I rooted my phone with no problems(the easy script kiddy way) added CWM recovery as well. I finally found a rom I thought i wanted, it was minimal with no extra software (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1941711). If I could dump all other software and just run google apps I would... Anyhow I'm on Rogers in Canada and when i flashed the above rom (built on Bell's platform) I was unable to connect to 4g anymore (LTE is not available in my region). Is there certain ROMs i should stay away from if I want 4g/LTE? or was this just a flaw of the ROM or possibly myself?

I was going to try and post directly in the ROM's thread but I'm not allowed as a new user.

Thanks!

Why isn't my phone bricked?

So I read the CNET guide on how to root my Galaxy S3. Followed all steps except installing Kies (I have it installed now). Got into download mode, opened up Odin, loaded the custom ROM in the PDA section, pressed Start. It didn't get far. Here's the last few steps of what it showed:

<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/003> cache.img

<ID:0/003>

<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed. <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

So I pressed Start again, and it did the same thing. I figured it was a lost cause, so I restarted my device with the power button. It gave me the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error and told me to go into Recovery with Kies. I then installed Kies, but it didn't recognize my phone. So, with my phone disconnected, I took the battery out and put it back in, and started my phone back up. It went into the normal download mode again, without the firmware error. I repeated the battery replacement, and my GS3 booted normally and is now working perfectly.

So my question is, why isn't it bricked? It even showed a firmware error, but a couple battery replacements seemed to get rid of it. Baseband version is I747UCLH9, in case that helps.
