More specifically, .mbn files are the ones installed to your other partitions. If you extract the otas or fw, you will see these:

aboot.mbn - appsboot

rpm.mbn - not sure?

sbl2/3.mbn - secondary bootloaders

tz.mbn - (ARM?) trusted zone

These are why some of us are always saying that when you update, if you only do so by flashing a custom rom you will miss out on some of the updates to other partitions. Only using Odin or Kies will update these. (I dont think even Mobile Odin does them all)

Hope that makes sense.

For QPST you might want to check with peoplearmy. I think hes done some work with it in the IMEI backup thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] paulosimao:
DocHoliday77 - Thanks for the explanation. In this case do you know how to unbrick the device w these files - which happens to be the same as yours? Would you have a .hex of you boot to share w me? I will try contacting peoplearmy. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
No unfortunately I do not have it. I can try to get it for you once I get home later tonight though.

That is unless anyone else has one they can post beforehand?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] paulosimao:
Man, if you could send me a copy of nv files and stuff like this would be of great help. I am in Brazil, w a phone I brought from USA, if I dont get it sorted out like this, I will have to send the bricked devoce to USA and have Samsung fix it there - will basically cost me a new device. No one here has a similar device, thus I have no one to rely on here on this situation. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ill do what I can to help. In the meantime, if you haven't already try to get in contact with peoplearmy and the guys in the IMEI threads (in development section). I think theyve already done a lot with qpst and nv backups while working on the imei problem. You may get what you need there before I ever even get a chance to start!

Not to try and rain on your parade but I promise this won't work. I've bricked twice which literally gave me days to attempt exactly this. It won't do it. Would love to see this happen but hate to see you waste the time. Assuming you're still gonna go for it tho, good luck

I am working on this now i believe ive gotten it but Im in need of the mbn file iand hex m not quit sure which rom or how to extract the files if you have them can you please send them to me and i will gladly make a tutorial when successful.

I was able to have it in download mode and the QPST tool allows me to upload .mbn files into it.

I got the .mbn files from TMobile stock image.

Problem is, I am using version 2.7b378, which does not have M8960 in the list of supported devices, so any image I try to load I am getting "Could Not Open Flash Programming File".

I believe if I have the latest version of QSPT tool I could unbrick my device.

Can you please comment on my experience and eventually give me pointers to the latest QPST tool?

Thank you in advance.[/QUOTE]

I'm basically right where you are. I have the one .bin and several .mbn from my stock AT&T image. I just get an error that I need to switch to streaming download mode for flashing the .bin and NAK: invalid address when flashing the .mbn files. I think what we are looking for more than these are the hex files. The files we have now seem to be trivial from what I have read. How we acquire a hex is beyond me though. I've got a thread over here.

I hard bricked my phone.

Can anyone put the bootloader on their SD card, then send me the files so I can transfer them to my microSD and send them to my phone?

Would that work? I only see the i9300 files around. No one has the T999 files anywhere to send to the phone or am I missing something?

I feel comfortable shorting the certain resistor and getting to d/L mode just the getting files to my microSD seems the hard part.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HolyGhostBoy1:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you at are hard bricked you will need to send it somewhere for a jtag repair. Never heard of anyone recovering any other way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HolyGhostBoy1:
there have been different phones that have recovered from a hardbrick that way we just need the right files for our phones.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sammy really seemed to surprise some people with the S3. A lot of things people were used to on previous devices, were new and different on the S3. IMEI backups and nvdata were included in that category. It apparently used to be MUCH easier to backup and restore nvdata and related items. I'd wager this may be in the same boat, and I haven't seen anyone trying to figure it out, save for those in this thread.

Not saying its not possible, just improbable. (Wheres that Improbability Drive when you need it!)

Also, a fully functional and compatible version of QPST has never been found that I'm aware of.

Hi,

I'm new to these & if anyone can answer my below questions, it will be a big help to me.

1. Can anyone let me know what is a CDF number & customization number & SI number.

2. How to find those in my device. (I know how to find customization & SI number. But how to find CDF?)

3. Is CDF = customization number = SI number

4. What will happen if i change my customization number as my SI number.

5. To get the official firmware updates from Sony PC Companion, do i need to change my customization number as my SI number.

6. Are these numbers are unique by the devices or are these common with all devices?

Thnx in advance.

[Defy General] JadhavN:
Hi Developers,

I have a Defy (orginally came with Froyo, Green Lens). I am running CM10, Kernal Version "2.6.32.9-gbdd614e". Initially the problem started when I was upgrading to a ICS version by wiping my data and cache. I wasnt able to do that and for some reason I wasnt able to restore via RSD. Hence I used Defy+ SBF file. It worked. Now everything was fine but whenever I tried flashing Kernal (No matter what it is CM7, CM9 and Kernal-Froyo-222-179-4-signed), I was getting this error below :

Bootloader

09.10

Err:A5,70,00,00,23

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

The only way then was to again flash it with RSD defy+ stock ROM. I am running Jellybean by directly flashing the ROM and not flashing the Kernal. The camera has stopped working since then and no matter now what ROM I flash it with the camera wont work. I have tried ICS, GB, Froyo.

I dont know if the info is still enough or not but if you can help me that will be a great help.
[Defy General] hsrars-d:
You flashed Defy+ SBF on your Defy, no cam for you.
[Defy General] NishantM:
You'll never get your camera back. You should've never flashed a defy+ sbf on green lens defy. It's well documented in relevant threads.
[Defy General] JadhavN:
I didnt have any other option at that time as it was not accepting any SBF i try to flash it with. However when I first flashed the Defy+ stock ROM the camera was working. It stopped when when I flashed it with Jellybean ROM.
[Defy General] adroeurope:
same problem partially solved
[Defy General] turffe:
Root BL7 - it need special instruction - it's in General or in Developement section - don't remember. Since you flash BL7 sbf on green lens - no hope with camera on stock roms, last hope is - 2ndboot based roms with custom kernel: WIUI 4, CM10/9/7(maniac last builds)..

That will do. If not reinstall and so the wipe again

This problem happened again for me as well, but only on cdma. Try switching your phone to gsm only and see if it functions. That is what seemed to fix mine. (I know, not really a fix. I am just curious if the problem is a bug in the new radio.)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Relsig:
You need a custom recovery and you need to know how to use it (the recovery you have).

Again, towle has a sticky with mirrors MANY helpful downloads. a flashable zip of uvle1 radio was in it the last time I checked.

If you don't know how to check if a flashable radio has a ril then flash the radio, THEN your ROM. Custom ROMs tend to have custom rils and it is best not to overwrite them.

I agree!!!!

I just Re-flashed both my phones to GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 UVLDE That I got from Here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4798 using the ODIN software and a great walk though found Here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-t-mobile/628449-how-odin-any-stock-rom.html

So far, we haven't had any calling issues as of yet....Plus, the phone is super fast again!! I noticed that with ICS on the phone, and Factory Reset with nothing on it, My RAM was tipping between 500-600 MB of use!! and now that we are back to Gingerbread, it's at 295-340MB....Which is a HUGE difference!!!!!

Let's hope, that maybe it might be defective SIM cards or chips like you said, but I am also tired of wiping these phones and starting all over again!!! I think Im gonna stay with GB for now......It's woking as intended anyway...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
I'm having this issue where when i make or receive a call at times there is no sound and either party cannot hear. This happened to me on GB too. After monitoring it for a long time, i figured that it only happens when inside home where i get poor reception and not outside or places with good reception.

When i'm at home i usually get 1-2 bars of signal. Often, when i get a call and i don't get any sound, i look at the signal strength and it is at 4 bars but as the call disconnects it drops back to 2 and then if i make or receive the call then it goes fine.

I searched around the net i see this issue is with S3 users too, when they have poor reception they do not get any sound on call. I'm thinking that it has to do something with the radio hardware or holding reception in low reception areas.

If you haven't rooted or you don't have a custom recovery then you can't really do much about your radio.

You have to have a custom recovery in order to flash a radio or be rooted to manually install. There are multiple threads on rooting and installing a custom recovery if you want to run the risk.

I know this thread is a couple of months old, but I thought my phone was fritzing out or it was my hearing :) I'm rooted and running ICS based ROMs from PMTR3 and kept blaming it on the new firmware, but it didn't make sense not seeing tons of people noting the issue on the ROMs. After reading this thread I double checked and am also running the UVLH1 modem (actually get good connections with this one) and have called this into T-Mobile. They are checking into it and passed it off to engineering... I'll try the UVLDE radio as well as a couple of others to see if I can get same reception quality along with speeds and voice quality that I have now. I am a little surprised this thread isn't larger - only a few phones having issues with UVLH1 or we just notice it more? I like how well the WiFi calling works, but using it all the time at home just sucks the life out of the battery. If anybody else replies please post your radio version you are using.

Acutally, I have an update:

About 3 weeks ago, I talked to a local Rep at one of the local stores. He said it was a known issue with TM phones with the WiFi calling feature. (according to him, TM is the only one that has this feature.) I had to call TM tech support and ask for level 2. There I had to tell them to Purge my HLR, or BLR on the system. Make sure you pull your SIM and Battery when they do this. and We haven't had these issues since....Worth a shot...But both my Wife and My phones are no longer having this issue.
