Trouble Downgrading from GB27

Hello peoples. I'm having a big time problem re-flashing my phone back to stock rom. I recently installed GB27 into my SGS II and its been giving me trouble. I've downloaded all of the stock roms for my phone and tried to install with the methods explained. I'm still getting an error 7 status message and i'm still having touble applying old roms back. CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME. THis androiid update is killing me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kostaba:
which rom should i select?

My e4gt is running android 4.1.4 on ff18, how to upgrade to jb 2.2 and which kernil should l use?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Here's how.

Read, search and then read a whole lot more.

Then after that do some more reading and searching.

The answers are here, right on XDA forums for the E4GT. Really!

Might also want to read the rules on posting too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Both of you should go to RWico12's Repo and get the FL24 One Click. Easy and quick to use.

He has a tutorial on how to use it.

cocobrotha - you need to back up everything including internal storage and use the restore.

kostaba - You have the option from where you are to use either the nodata or restore. Still recommended to backup everything as you always should.

Can I flash JB with odin?

I already have the Firmware
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
These OTA files are only for Stock recovery.

For what you want, you need the full GB27 tar file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gusto0707:
FL24 to anything else

Since I am somewhat new to this. I thought I would ask a stupid question though I have not seen this asked anywhere so I set up this account to finally get an answer.

I am currently on FL24

I want to know can I flash any other kernel. I know that there are a lot more option out there on ROMS using other kernels and I feel somewhat restricted on what I can run. I have flashed phones in the past but this was the first time doing the boost mobile D710. I am currently running FL24 with blu kuban ROM and recovery. I have had no real issues except with my battery going to poo. I have everything else running perfect.

Also I know I am asking something else but if I can flash another kernel what would be the fastest most stable user friendliest most customizable ROM I can throw on there. I know it might be a bit much asking that and you can be honest you wont hurt my feeling's

Just though I would ask

Thanks so much for all the help you have given so far and thanks for trying to give me an answer....

~Some people say I am special I just remind them that I rode the short but growing up.~
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Of course you can flash other kernel as long as it's meant for TouchWiz.

And about best ROM use whatever cover your needs, remember what works for me not necessarily will work for you we all have different needs. And there are a lot of awesome devs, tweakers, themers in our community, it won't hurt to try this or that as long as yoy follow instructions for you specific device.

Hello,

Ive been wondering why my power button its so hard to press, its hard to explain but its almost an even surface when you pass your finger through the side of the phone, I mean its just more deep inserted in the case that the volume rocker for example. I dont know if its normal since I traded my phone for the galaxy nexus so I didnt get it new.

I just wanted to know if the volume rocker and the power button have the same "touch" feeling when you press them? If so, how can I fix it, maybe disassembling to fix that?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyraelasd:
Is that no one has experienced this or no one wants to help ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I don't have your experience. My power button indeed feels roughly the same as volume up & down buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karan4:
i have exactly the same problem, my power button used to be nice before until i cleaned it with a soft brush :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
Has the phone ever been taken apart? My power button is normal but it could be that internally a clip broke or something. Its pretty easy to take it apart, not sure if you're comfortable in taking it apart

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mddk:
Hey guys, so i just received my Gnexus only a couple of days ago. As soon as i received it i unlocked/rooted and flashed JB 4.1.1 rom.

All well and good, didn't realise till later in the day that a part of the phone was D.O.A

So now i have to send it back and get it fixed/replaced.

I followed the guide to restoring Stock ICS rom for GSM.

All well and good, it restored it to IMM76D, then OTA update to IMM76l. Now when i click on system updates it saying i can Update OTA to Jellybean.

However.... My Gnexus i-9250 GSM came with IMM76K and a Jellybean OTA update was not available.

If i keep the IMM76l on there, do you think they would notice/would that void my warranty (seeing as it came with IMM76K)?

Or is there someway i could flash IMM76K on my GSM device? The one listed on google developers images is for the LTE/Verizon

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Just flash JB on it and lock the bootloader... problem solved

They won't care about the version. Just kick the bootloader and you're good to go

Thanks for the reply, it came with 4.0.4(IMM76K) ICS. I'm just going to leave 4.0.4 (IMM76L) on it and relock.

Do you think it will be fine/they would knock me back for that?

EDIT: okay thanks alot for the replies! will just leave it and lock bootloader.

[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
Long story short. Flashed a ROM in EXT4. Something went wrong and I screwed up my partitions. Cant get anything to load. Was directed to flash the RUU in fastboot.

Problem is, I cant figure out how and YES, I looked at the guide. I"m either a dumbass or really cant read. Where do I put the RUU zip? One I get into bootloader how do I run fastboot in usb mode and have it find the RUU zip....

What shall I name the RUU.

Any responses would be most helpful. I need the phone for work tomorrow :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Angelus47:
Rename RUU to PH85IMG and put it on the root of external sd card (not in any folders). Pull battery, replace, and hold volume down while powering on device. When it asks of you want to update select yes, then let it sit for awhile. It will reboot a couple of times while it does it's thing. When it's done reboot phone and you should be all good

[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
Trying it now, will let you know how I fare. Thank yo for the prompt reply.

Hope it works ;)

Edit: Do I have to re-add 4EXT etc to flash ROMS or should it still be there?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
If you did read then you would have figured everything out for yourself. People claim they read but comprehension is a big factor as well.

To answer your question... Flashing an RUU is like turning the phone back to stock. Depending if you're s-off then you will need to unlock and reflash a recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
Dude...who the EFF are you saying If I did read I would have figured it out. The guide I read from the Amaze bible didn't lay it out as it was in an earlier reply to the thread.

Apparently everyone isn't as wise as you are or doesn't "comprehend" as well as you do. Sorry I asked a question on a forum made for...wait for it...ASKING questions. People like you are the ones that make folks give up and say fvck it.

The question was answered, I appropriately thanked the person, no need for your .02 thanks anyway.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Just in case people missed it we noted at the beginning of ICS specific section..

under section 2..

which when clicked leads to..(in the same google document)

All information is definitely in the bible, maybe it can be cleared up a bit, but in your case, if you control+f(for find) and typed RUU, the 5th of 6 times it appears in the document would have shown you the answer.

You could look at threads by our mod, he has posted that this is NOT a place just for people to find answers.. and I don't really mind helping people find answers.. but it IS clearly explained in the bible.

This is just to squash any debate over people's reading ability- the answers are ALWAYS there, and I and a few others did our best to reduce how much time is spent searching.. if you want to contribute to the bible, you can always do so in that thread.

I went ahead and changed the link in section 2 to read "12. How to flash firmware/custom bootloaders - this is how you flash a RUU" just to make it easier to find.

Please help me with this problem, i bought 1 samsung galaxy s3 t999 of t-mobile from 1 guy on craiglist.com 3 months ago, for the 1st 3 months, the phones work fine, but just last 4 days, my phone can not call, text or internet (i used prepaid plan $50/month from t-mobile), then i called t-mobile technician support 5, 6 times, after all they said my phone locked by t-mobile, because the owner of the phone didn't pay the bills, they said my phone right now can not using anymore, except i can find the onwer, i tried some unlock code of some website on internet, but it didn't works, either, i hopfully anyone here can help me with this, thanks alot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Classick206:
Odds are he bought the phone on EIP, sold it and pocketed the difference and just recently cancelled out his contract. Your best bet is probably to sell the phone on craigslist to someone not on T-Mobile. I haven't heard about any solution to this problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
Only solution is to use it on at&t or another SIM company. Imei has been blocked out on T-Mobile network. That's what the code you bought is for. To use it with another carrier.

Now im concern too because i just got a bnew T999 s3 sealed for $450 on craigslist 2 weeks ago.. I hesitated at first because it's too cheap but seller needs the money badly she says so i bite because phone is sealed with no problems..

Should i be worried? i still have the sellers email and phone number, do you think its a good idea to ask her?.. Will it also work if i go to a t-mobile store and ask them to verify the imei of my purchased phone?

Thanks all in advance for the reply..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pytyper483:
This seems to be happening more and more with new phones, and a reason that Ebay is a good option since they offer buyer (and seller) protection.

I am not saying you were scammed, but think of this:

You have the sellers temporary phone # she got from the local prepaid store, and an email she made that day? What is that going to do now? Do you know where the seller lives, or their real name? The two items you are saying you have may not be that effective to trace back to the seller.

However, I wish you the best of luck and no problems.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kobe4rings:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonathan3579:
Because it makes you *the seller or trader* look suspicious? I'd never buy a phone that's been blacklisted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikeetastic:
Afaik eBay/paypal buyer protection covers you for 45days? But according to the OP it happen after 3 months... But yeah youre right if my seller reports that her phone got stolen or didnt pay her bill after a few days or months then im screwed???

How much is the cheapest unlock code for my device? And where to get it? I dont usually buy expensive stuff on CL but this S3 i got is a steal... I might sell it now before it gives me headache in a few months..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
If you are going to spend $400-500 on a phone from Craigslist, you might as well just save up for another $100-150 to buy it a from a reputable seller. IE Ebay, Amazon...etc.

But yah, phones on Craigslist = trouble.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] arctic84:
Sorry to hear man.. i know your pain

Unlock the phone. Tmobile will even do it for you since they don't bother looking up the status of the phone when they ask you to. This happened to me before and it sucks, but that's what happens when you don't trust your gut. =/ (even sometimes when you do you're wrong)

SO

Unlock it.

Sell it to someone who can use it on ATT.

and get yourself a replacement through a better way..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kobe4rings:
Cheapest unlock ive found is 7.99 dollars on ebay. You have to let the person access your pc via remote access and let him unlock your connected phone via usb. search ebay "t999 unlock".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikeetastic:
i don't know about eBay since your only protected from Paypal for a few days after purchase and like the OP said it happened after 3 months.. and you cant even view the original ad/listing on eBay after 90 days..

share your story? what happen? how many days did it last from purchase till T-Mobile blocking it?

will try to call or visit the store and see what can they do about unlocking my device, still fully functional right now and hoping that my seller really needs the money that's why she sold it @$450 and doesn't do anything to her account or or report it stolen...

Thanks a lot.. giving the eBay seller a remote access is safe right? or maybe make a guest account to be more safer?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Not to be a debbie downer, but if you got it for $450 when they sell for more it's likely going to be blacklisted. Everyone on CL says they need money.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AndroidGang:
So is this a new thing T-Mobile is doing, or a GSIII thang. Never heard of them being able to lock a phone out of the system because of a unpaid bill, if it was reported loss or stolen maybe, never heard of this till now tho
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
Buying phones on CL is very risky. Sealed box doesn't prove anything. If you could, ask her to go to Tmo store to verify
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] deviusdragger:
You can go into a T-Mobile store and have them check the imei through the imei block check tool thingy majig.

And the reason why these phones get blocked is because they are financed from T-Mobile, so you owe money on that phone. Usually people can't afford it and let the account cancel, and since you still owe for that phone, it gets blocked.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Gad13:
Just an idea. Why don't you try to change your IMEI. It will appear as a different phone in their system.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Not unpaid bill but most likely bad account for not paying bill and closed on them(a lot people do stupid stuff like this, sign up for a contract and then they don't have money to pay so they sell the phone before service gets suspended)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
It's basically stolen if the bill goes unpaid. Same thing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonathan3579:
That's technically illegal. :sly:

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

If you got the phone on-contract (subsidized) and you do not pay your bill and fail to pay the early termination fee they will blacklist the phone. All carriers do this since you are paying the balance of the phones value over the length of the contract. Phones are not really discounted when you sign a contract, the price difference is spread out over your monthly bill. The carries have been doing this for as long as they have offered subsidized handsets.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

That is a federal felony.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

Nope, it's a felony no matter if you own the phone that you copied the IMEI off of or not. It falls under cellular cloning laws.

Wireless Telephone Protection Act of 1998

Changing the IMEI of a blacklisted phone falls under obtaining telecommunications service without authorization.
