I don't know what happened but this really sucks. Wish I would of known how important this was when I started flashing roms. It was so random though. Been flashing roms for at least a month. Now this...Aye yay yay
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
You're good with LK3. I use it on two I747 S3s with different ROMs without problem. Radio (usually Modem in thread topics) is not affected by ROM, which sits on top of baseband firmware.

I may have to flash back to stock using odin as you suggested. Do you think it may be possible to fix this doing just that? or maybe even an official update/restore using Kies afterward?

I tried this like 3 times...for some reason everytime i click save it does nothing and reverts back to the main apn list (where the list is supposed to be I mean)...their is just nothing their. I am downloading stock firmware now. I may try a few other things before I go stock.

Is it necessary to do the triangle away app or is it suggested to do this? Cause ideally I will just root it again if for some reason going stock fixes it. If not I would like to remove all traces of root and attempt a warranty fix.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jd1639:
If your flash counter isn't tripped there is no reason for triangle away. Restoring to stock with Odin will remove all traces, except if the flash counter is tripped.

Restoring to stock will probably fix all the other problems you have, saving a trip to best buy.

But make sure you backup, Google is a good backup or titanium

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Flashing the modem wasn't necessary if you already had LK3 baseband. Just Odin back to stock ROM (find it by searching xda) and then make sure everything is working. Do not use nandroid backup to restore. If you need APNs, create them after you're back to completely stock. Carrier can also supply these.

I strongly suggest to anyone who has not backed up their IMEI, to do so. Especially if you flash a lot. Also on a side note, flashing back to stock does not restore your IMEI. At least it did not for me. I re-rooted then tried the above method to get it back and working.

Omg. The same thing happened to me last night. It was horrible. I got it to work using the same method as stated in your post. Pretty easy to read and under stand.

Battery problem!!! please help!!

I used a third party charger from China and now my device....

1-wont charge with the original charger

2-discharges extremely fast and gets very hot

3-charges very slowly on the 3rd party

Help!! please!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
When it comes to batteries and "chargers," I only use OEM...and I'll pay extra to ensure they are just that.

What do you mean third party charger? Samsung S3 chargers are essentially a plug and USB cable. Why are you not using that? Are you referring to docking (cradle) charger? Get Samsung cradle for S3. If you're trying to fast charge your battery with a non-Samsung charger, battery life will be short. You may have to buy another battery, and if you do, make sure it's from Samsung...even if you have to buy directly from them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Liamosee:
So...i should get a new battery and use the samsung charger? will it continue to discharge fast? and by charger i mean the piece that plugs into the adapter (the usb cord).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droid_funktionz:
If it was me, I would do a full discharge (down to zero, or close to). Take out the battery, put it back in and try to do a full charge with the original factory charger. If that doesn't work then I would invest in another battery maybe. Hope it works out for you.

So I have an odd problem...

I have a 32 GB external SD card (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...card 32gb&qid=1362424096&s=electronics&sr=1-2)

I have been using Task's ROM for ages and love it. However, I have run into issues with the external SD card...

I had the first issue about a month or two ago. The phone would not recognize the card, so I had to format it in windows. It has been working fine up until today.

Today when I was about to flash again, I noticed that TWRP (the newest version, 2.4.3), could not mount the card. I rebooted and it was the same. I then took out and reseated the card. No luck. Three hours later, it is working just fine. I did absolutely nothing, and it just works fine now.

Any ideas?

EDIT: lol, well my phone just came up with an error saying that the SD card was unexpectedly removed and it isn't being read anymore.

K I might try swapping back to an earlier recovery then. Thanks

Actually, could it be the recovery? I'm asking, because I have no idea. The sd card will sometimes work without restarts. For example, it just started working for a few minutes. I know because a pop up came up saying it was preparing the card. I haven't restarted my phone since the initial issues and it's already cycled through working and not a few times.

Completely erase device?

Hi,

I was wondering what needs to be done in order to completely erase/format the device and start over? Flashing the stock/unrooting is enought?

The reason why I'm asking this is because I tried to perform a backup from my recovery but the bakup failed near the end saying that I did not have enough space left. Now, my internal storage doesn't have much space left and I tried to locate the backup files but did not find them.

I also noticed that there are some folders of some apps that I do not use anymore. This is why I would like to format/erase my whole device and start over.

Can someone help me out with the steps please?

Thank you!

I really think it's the phone. I've had random problems like that since i got the phone last August and popped an SD card in it. FWIW i have a sandisk 32gb class 10. Every time it does that weird thing where it unmounts the card randomly, it always re-recognizes and mounts the card within a day or so at the longest. Then it works fine for a long time and it happens again. I am using Tasks Rom as well, but i was having issues with the SD when i was stock unrooted, stock rooted, and with 3-4 other Rom's. That's why i think its just the phone. I find that if it ever stops working, you can pull it turn off the phone, put it back in, and turn the phone on, and it will work. Oh yeah, this has happened to me using both TWRP and CWM. I know this wasn't super helpful in figuring out how to fix this, but i really think it's a phone related issue.
