Found the reason it happens because the kies driver has a bug. Its working fine with old 1.4.6.0driver. Remove all you device drivers installed and reinstall 1.4.6.0.

Ps, dont let windows update download the newest driver.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MickeyS:
Thanks very much for your replies and sorry for answering so late.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gibbsrob:
. Uninstall any previous instance of Kies/USB driver

2. Download the latest Kies, specific to your S3.

3. Download Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 (I've tried newer versions but they all failed)

4. REBOOT

5. Disconnect from internet (VERY IMPORTANT!!! - forcing Windows to install local drivers ONLY)

6. With the phone disconnected, install Kies + USB drivers downloaded in steps 2,3

7. Connect the phone and let Windows install the drivers.

8. Reestablish the internet connection.

I do not take credit for this fix. I found it scouring various Windows 7 forums but IT DOES WORK!

Please give me some "Thanks" if this helped you.

Restart your computer and your phone. Usually fixes it for me. Until it pops up again. I've only saw this 2 times since i got the S3, but as i said a reboot fixed it.

[HTC ChaCha] NoLimit64:
Hi,

I almost bricked my daughter's ChaCha. Half a year ago I unlocked the bootloader to be able to install and run Link2sd to increase performance of the phone and have my daughter have all the apps on it she wants. But a week or so ago the phone started to act up and I decided to take a look.

End of the story is that the phone, when turned on, boots into fastboot automatically but the volume and power keys do not work at all. So I can't select reboot or recovery or anything. I have to remove the battery to switch it off...

Apparently system and recovery are gone cause when I issue 'fastboot oem boot' the response is '(bootloader) [ERR] Boot/Recovery image does not exist!!!'. That can't be good... :(

The bootloader got relocked in the process of trying to fix it which complicates the problem. Now I can't re-unlock it because the volume and power keys don't work. I can get fastboot in unlock mode but can't select 'yes' and continue because the keys do not work...

I tried re-installing stock rom via RUU with various results. Version 1.33 complains about a customer id (error 131), version 1.13 thinks it's a signature error (error 132) and version 1.18 (I must be desperate) doesn't like the bootloader version (error 140).

I tried creating an old school goldcard to get the phone to accept RUU 1.33 but obviously that failed too. Since I can't get into the phone over adb (only fastboot) I can't get the phone's CID. Also, system is reported to be nonexistent so trying to extract the CID is a dead end anyway.

I think I've tried everything and I'm about to give up. But I thought, before I do that, I better check with the experts here to see if anybody else has a brilliant idea to solve my problem. I'm considering buying the XTC clip but I'm not sure if that will work since the phone is so far gone already. Maybe someone here knows the answer to that?

Below is what 'fastboot getvar all' gives me. Hopefully that helps in answering my question: Is this phone bricked or is there still hope?

It doesn't look like it's anything you've done. If the bootloader is now locked, I would take advantage of that and send it back to the shop to get it repaired. (obviously, don't mention that you tampered with it). That shouldn't happen, I've got link2SD, and so has my partner and we've never had any problems like that, so I think it must be something wrong with your phone :/
[HTC ChaCha] NoLimit64:
Progress

Thanks for your reply. I thought about returning it the phone to have it repaired but it's apparent the phone has been unlocked and re-locked again. That will probably void warranty.

I don't think Link2sd caused this problem. Something else must have happened but I doubt it's a hardware problem.

I've made a bit of progress in the meantime. Somehow (I don't know how) the phone got in to recovery. The screen was black though but I could get into it with adb shell! So I got my CID and created a goldkey. I hoped that was all I needed but I still can't flash a stock rom over RUU because now they all complain about my hboot version which is 1.10 :(

I think I need a RUU rom (exe) that supports hboot 1.10. Or, a way to downgrade to 1.07 or 1.05. Or a way to flash or push something onto the phone while in recovery.

Any help will be appreciated...
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
Well if you are able to boot into fastboot maybe you can try this method. I used this to revive my friend's chacha.

Download this tool (it is, I believe, adlx's small fastboot tool). Extract it and navigate to it with cmd (I did this on windows). But before that download a RUU for your chacha (I used 1.3.3 version since it was the only one I could find), run RUU but don't flash it and don't exit the application as well. Then locate your temp folder (%temp%) and find somewhere in one of the folders a zip named Rom.zip (use the search function if you prefer). Copy the Rom.zip anywhere you like and extract system.img, boot.img and recovery.img and place them in the same folder where you extracted fastboot tools. And now enter these commands in cmd (don't forget to navigate to the folder you placed all the files):

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

When it is finished, reboot your phone (you will probably need to do this by pulling the battery out) and hopefully you will have the stock rom installed.

Hope that this will help you.

Regards

I had an issue with flashing an RUU because of HBOOT version, but as didje said, the 1.33 RUU version works with that HBOOT version :)

As I mentioned. bootloader is relocked (my bad) so flashing the individual files will not work. Unlocking the bootloader won't work either because for some reason the volume and power keys do not work while in bootloader :(

Running the 1.33 RUU (RUU_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.1_Radio_47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2_release_204385_signed.exe) returns error 140 Bootloader version error when run with goldkey inserted. Without the goldkey it returns error 131 customer id error... At least the goldkey seems to work but my phone does not accept this version but I can't figure out why.

Strang thing though, the RUU says I currently have version 1.57 which means I'm downgrading to 1.33.

I'm going to try this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320392

Thanks so far!!

Ah, bootloader is re-locked.. I missed that part. Bummer... Hope you will find a way. It is really strange that vol. keys do not work.
[HTC ChaCha] Bunnybugs_007:
Did you disable fastboot in the settings? (Not sure in which part it is... Thought apps)...

If you uncheck the marker, you should be able to enter recovery, etc, again... Worked for me when I had this problem... It wasn't the bootloader that was locked, just me using the fastboot.

When you press vol down+pwr when Fastboot is enabled, you won't see your bootloader screen, it just boots fast...

Maybe worth a try...
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
Oh my, you must have misunderstood us. He CAN enter the bootloader menu, but he cannot do anything because the bootloader got re-locked (opposite to HTC Dev unlocking - when you enter hboot, bootloader menu or what is called you can see on the top "locked", "unlocked" or in my case "re-locked" - I relocked mine to take it to the service but I didn't thought that it will say RE-locked :D) so he cannot flash anything unless he finds a way to unlock it again or s-off the device. That is the problem.
[HTC ChaCha] zielonooki:
I got the same HTC chacha CID: HTC_E11, its something like "Nederlanden" version.

Re-locked don't undo Lock - just simply lock "bootloader".

You will never go back

You should Unlock by "htcdev . com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3"

Then You'll be able to flash via fastboot ,sysem.img, boot.img, recovery.img

i have same problem

i tried to relock my htc chacha and baaamm. now hboot is locked and dead because no work any volume or power keys in hboot menu. i cant select any option. doesnt work vol+ or vol- or power here. also android os doesnt start normally if i restart to this phone directly opening hboot menu (also doesnt see any device on pc). but only way to access my phone via command. my way is:

1. shutdown phone (only way is remove your battery this status :( )

2. plug in usb cable your pc and phone

3. dont push to start button only wait until led is on

4. push to red(end call) button

5. now your phone is detected by the pc

6. you can use (phone is power off status still) fasboot commads

7.i use fastboot reboot command and start the phone.

anyway phone is accessible still :D . i have relocked phone using a nonsafe software i think hboot data damaged. QUESTION IS THAT: HOW CAN WE REPAIR HBOOT ON LOCKED STATUS WITHOUT USING ANY HARDWARE (JTAG OR XTCLIP).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonas9:
can someone port it because it has so many design settings! it looks so nice

ps can someone upload the cm10 mms apk with notification popup?

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Metallaxis:
I second that request.

Samsung mms.apk is the only one I've used to correctly handle Greek characters in sms input.

(ie. when on sms mode, and keyboard set to Greek, automatically turn on uppercase, and interpret/input all identical to Latin letters as English. If set to lowercase, use Unicode with 60 characters).

Unfortunately, this odd method is the one used in Greece to send 160 character sms, and it's a pity the native android sms/mms app does not support it.

Unfortunately, as very few people face this problem, there is little interest in porting the Samsung mms app.,plus every request I've found about it ends in comments like "why do you want it? XXX is much better" etc

Bottom line, I'd be very grateful if someone could port it.

I just got root back after taken the 621 update months ago. I use the Magic MD5 Root 2.3.4 for D2, R2D2, D2G, DX (no milestone SBF) and 2.3.5 for DX2

worked great, very easy to get rooted. Now I am looking to go back to a custom rom. I was using liberty before updated. Any suggestions on which is the best rom. I have put titanium back up on, rom manager and liberty tool box. Going to make a nandroid backup and back up apps.

I want a fast and smooth rom.

I a really looking for something that stays on 621, which roms will work with out sbfing. If I need to I will sbf to later build. Also can I now sbf back to what ever I like since I am rooted.

Thanks
[Droid X General] kennth16:
guess there are no Dx users left

Really thought I could get an answer here. There is a non milestone root method but no advise on roms?
[Droid X General] iwasapirate:
You didn't get an answer because there are dozens of threads already with people asking "what rom should i use for xxx build?".

Do your reading. Root has nothing to do with your ability to sbf. Once you're on 621, you're on it for life. There is no going back. Only the choice between 621 and 604 Milestone. This information has been out for months.

Your post is bad. Go back and watch the You Are A Noob on XDA Developers. You aren't looking for advice, you want someone to cater to you so you don't have to do it yourself. Check your attitude.

I've only needed to make 10 posts in the nearly two years that I've come to this forum for information. I had to recover my account password to tell you how annoying you are.
[Droid X General] newmanx4:
This is correct. Once on 621 you cannot go back to any previous versions. Probably the best ROM out there is Wiz's MIUI. Everything works and battery life is stellar.

Hello Everyone I been reading a lot of forums on cases and right now I can't decide on the Spigen, ACase, or the UAG cases. I am looking for a case that protects decently, doesn't add so much bulk, good button access for the home/side buttons. I am extremely careful with my phone and work a corporate job, meaning I don't foresee it needing to be all out tough.

So what you do?

Thanks in Advance
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Blutonic:
Hi, I was in the same position you were, and wanted a case with not too much bulk, but good protection (just in case by some awful chance I DO drop my phone).

So I went with the Acase Superleggera Pro.

I personally love it. It adds a certain amount of bulk I feel the phone needed, the silicon does not attract dust in my pocket, the polycarbonate back doesn't show smudges or fingerprints much, and the buttons require no extra force to push either.

I have a Zagg Invisible Shield HD on the screen, but am considering removing it because I never scratch my screen (my Droid X STILL doesn't have a scratch on it after two years) and the lip from the case that goes around the phone, PREVENTS the screen from touching the surface when layed face down.

The cut outs for all the ports are perfect, and look great as well. Overall, I suggest the case if these features appeal to you.

However, I'm also buying a Spigen Neo Hybrid to see what all the fuss is about:)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BEERINAT0R:
Thanks for the reply and the info, I am just like you as I really take care of my device. But I just read the review on the ACase the paint is rubbing off? Have you had that happen to you yet?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] UlaTek:
I can't speak for two of the cases you mentioned, but I do have a black UAG case and I really like it. It's actually thinner than I thought it would be and is unique looking, if you like the look of it.

The screen protector it came with is pretty crap and not full coverage. I'm using a Zagg and so far (fingers crossed) it hasn't caused it to bubble up anyplace beyond the few spots I screwed up myself removing my metal bumper case I had picked up when I first got the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BEERINAT0R:
How is the Button Issue that you have to hard press on the UAG case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] UlaTek:
A little firm to push but nothing to worry about, on mine at least. I have a TPU case that is way harder to push. I saw somewhere (maybe this site) that someone cut one of the long sides of the power button and said it worked great after that. I never had to so YMMV
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrbuzz1967:
I had the spigen neo hybrid and sent it back the day after receiving it. I had the same button problem as everyone else although in fairness I don't think I had the revised edition.

I have had my Acase superlegerra pro now for about 5 days and I love it! plenty of grip and not too much bulk. buttons press perfectly and cutouts line up exactly.

I can't comment on the paint coming off issue as I haven't had it for long enough yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twe69:
I am going to send my Spigen Neo back I got last week, buttons are bad on it, must be the non revised version. Seller has no clue and says its the latest stock they have.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrbuzz1967:
they are pretty poor. I was disappointed cos the case looks good.

[LG Nitro HD] Shagerty:
Suggestion

Maybe you guys should put only the relevant guides that ACTUALLY WORK in the links.. derp a derp. I've been rooting for days figured this phone out in about an hour or so. But I have to be honest there are way to many methods and very few seem to be universal? If LG fans are used to this scattered root method forum posts go ahead and get comfortable, but it just brings me to realize I love my samsung's. Hacker friendly. I thought this nitro would be kinda chill with cm10.1 but every process to get to that point is a total *****. Once I get this phone figured out I want to make a coherent guide from start to finish how to get this thing to CM10.1
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Please watch the language...

There are plenty that work. The issue with the Nitro is that with ICS, there is a new bootloader that is locked and prevents you from flashing custom ROMs such as CMx.x. Rooted with a locked bootloader is just pointless in my opinion. There are plenty of guides that can be done by even noob users. You just have to be patient and take the advice of the people that have actually been working with the device a lot more than you.
[LG Nitro HD] Shagerty:
Bro no language was directed at anyone. It certainly is a ***** of a procedure. I am certainly not a N00b either so watch your language. The guide I was directed to was poorly written. I found a better one by Hereric. Your guide is very incoherent, and certainly doesnt contain the easiest tools and methodology to obtain root, cwm, and flash a rom.

Short, im not taking your advice. Hereric knows whats up!
