[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedheart:
Hi, I have a stock samsung galaxy s3 phone and i heard google now is an amazing feature so i was tempted to upgrade to jelly bean and i used odin to flash my s3 with jelly bean available on sammobile but it came up without network service.

i then tried to flash it to stock firmware but after repeated attemps i could not get network service. tired and without sleep i finally handed it to samsung service centre. Now, i would like to know why this happened and will it get fixed or have i permanently broken something??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VulguM:
It may be modem related. I think you maybe rushed things sending it back to Samsung.

Did you happen to lose your IMEI in the process? An EFS corruption is another possibility, next time make sure to have a proper backup for it.

Anyway, generally speaking, if the phone is able to boot into download mode (and you made the proper backups) you are not totally screwed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedheart:
Phew, thank you thank you thank you for your reply. i heard someone say to me it might be an EFS corruption. probably i did rush into sending it to samsung but i was so nervous and stupid and tired...hoping to get back my phone soon. they take ages to fix anything and service is so bad. nobody picks the phone. no timelines...nothing. Oh by the way i did not make any backups. I just want the phone working again and i dont mind installing all things all over. so is it screwed without a backup?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedheart:
they just called that the phone is ready. i will go now and see what they have done with it.

I'm just wondering was the phone rooted and did they cover warranty or did you have to pay for the repair? Just wondering exactly where service centers actually stand (not what the book says)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedheart:
I paid $45 for the repair. got the phone back but its not doing voice calls on network. just data. Need to go back to samsung but what do you think has happened?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedheart:
IMEI blocked

My phone is now blocked by vodafone. IMEI blocked. They wont tell why. Now what do i do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Check if the imei (dial *#06#) is the same one as on the box or under the battery.

If not and it's not 49.... then the repair shop transplanted a imei from another device which is illegal and can bring both of you in lots of trouble. If it's 49... then the imei is a default one and it's not repaired.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedheart:
They said there was a problem with mainboard and they replaced it. Then the GT-I9300 became a GT-I9300 T.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedheart:
Help!! Anyone...someone...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
If it became a i9300T then they have replaced it with an incorrect MB - probably not a biggie as it is the Telstra variant.

I would take it back to them. Tell them they have used the wrong MB AND it isn't working. Handing you back a phone which will not connect requires a pretty good explanation as to why they consider it fixed.

Did you check the IMEI as d4fseeker mentioned? What do you have in there? If Voda have blocked you it is likely they have used an incorrect IMEI when 'fixing' your phone so when you go in act all scared about possible legal problems and if they get sticky tell them you will have to go to the police to let them know because you don't want to get arrested for stealing your own phone.

I'm no expert here, but from what I have read so far I think they have placed you in a very good position - were you to get nasty they'd be in serious trouble, with the law as well as Samsung (if they are an authorised repairer.

Download Lyriquidperfection's EFS Pro and make an EFS backup so you have the evidence, maybe make a nandroid backup as well, then go back, indignation firmly in hand and tell them they didn't fix your phone, and, also, they seem to have used an ilegal IMEI etc.

Of course, if your IMEI is still the same, maybe they've done something else. I'm not sure how they'd do it but maybe if they replaced the MB then somehow put your original IMEI back I'm pretty sure that would show at Voda as being an incorrect IMEI.

Hope that helps...

What I'm reading is driving me mad.... this happened to me... I have the S3 GT-i9300 and while updraging I had the very same problem. Im on the 3network and when the install was done after 3 times with no network I got worried all I did to rectifie this was to start from scratch wipe cash and wipe the dalvik cash you will now lose evrything unless you did a backup using TB and backing up your desktops. Start from the begining and donot deviate... I used this how to link put the http: before address.. site wont let me do this yet. //galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-roms/how-to-install-custom-rom-on-rooted-galaxy-s3/ and it all came up and with my network too... yeah PHEW!!! was my thoughts... but if yours has now been to shop for so called repairs.. and now blocked.. freekin heck.. not sure what they have done.. is it not just your sim thats blocked?

What have you now got to lose... try it..

Loz.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedheart:
In all this process I have successfully gone mad. The IMEI on the box and my phone is different and they told me they replaced the main board for FREE!!. Mainboard costs a lot so i dont understand why would anyone do anything for free. I contacted them and they asked me to talk to the head office. they said its standard process and they cant do anything...Not sure if the police will do anything either. They have lots of other serious issues to handle than a freakin firmware upgrade!! Damn!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loz1:
Any chance of sending it back to have the original board put back? Or the fact is if they have changed the board it's there duty to hand it back working or the phone back how they got it with little or no charge for labour. This really sounds like a scam deal you got here.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
The only legit way I can think of to replace a MB free is to do a warranty replacement - in which case you should not have been charged the $45 either.

Police aren't the only option, but they are the most serious. It probably doesn't even matter if the cops action your complaint or not, the threat should get some action, but you should save it up till you have had no response on the other alternatives. And if they try to tell you the cops will not be interested, politely explain the cops might be VERY interested in criminal activity that the perpetrators think is incidental.

After all, even Interpol gets interested in phone scams of this nature. The potential for terrorists to use such altered phones to avoid scrutiny is enough to kick security into high gear, and if your local cops don't think of it you can always say, in a rather timid manner :D, I'm just worried they may be producing untraceable phones for criminals - I'm betting the cops would be knocking on the service guys door before you got to the front door of the cop shop.

But, before that you can talk to Voda or a Samsung centre and mention you got your IMEI changed and now your service provider has cut you off. I'd imagine they would be most interested in the details of the service people.

And you do't even have to threaten the service guy, just say, when you get no helpful fix, 'I guess I will have to talk to Vodafone or Samsung to get things restored - who should I tell them to talk to here to get things cleared up?'

Another question is whether the service place is where you got the phone. If not, talk to the vendor and explain that the service has done strange things to your phone and charged you extra for a warranty job (if that's the case) - they may want to change who they use for servicing.

I've got almost no experience in the phone side but after 25 years doing Desktop Support for PC's I can tell you that you are in a solid position - one way or another, these guys have done a shoofty and that leaves you holding the cards. Just stay calm and don't make threats, just comment about what you will have to do next.

For example, with the service guy, you could say, 'So I guess the next step is to talk to the cops - whoever got you the MB could be getting them illegally seeing the IMEI doesn't work. Do the police talk to you or do you have someone else who does the ordering?' :)

no service S3

Hi guys!

I have the same problem as above!

I updated to jellybean 4.2.1 it was still working but a little buggy.. So i decided to downgrade to 4.1.2 official followed all the steps to the letter and it completed sucessfully. On first boot even before typing in my pin it shows that I have signal but I can only make emergancy calls no service at all! I have attempted reloading 4.2.1 with a full factory reset and wiped everything with cwm but no luck! when I type *#06# it shows me the phones imei number.

Anyone with any suggestions would be gladly accepted! I do not have any backups! And do not want to take the phone to samsung..

I can even chose the network, and it says registered on network, but then it still dont work? what should i do?????????????????????????:p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyae droid:

you have done ......... :good:
[General Questions and Answers] tristant40:
Okay.. So I own a sprint htc evo 4g lte, the other day I was bored and unlocked it(Still S-On). I flashed an upgraded stock mod that was supposed to have a few more options and what not and that worked great. I wanted something different and I heard that AOiKP was a good rom to try so the next day I flashed that. After flashing it got stuck on the boot animation, I read that it could be the rom so I downloaded Komodo rom for S-On. This is where my problems started, After installing Komodo I got AOKP to work but this was after fighting the looping bootups and clearing my caches in the recovery to magically get it to work. I tried installing CM10 with a Full Wipe and it seems that Komodo is still there. CM10 eventually booted by doing the same process as before but it was not a fun thing to do and I have to do it again if I reboot. I just now installed team venoms viper rom and it looked like it was going to work but then started doing a boot loop all the way from power off to the end of the boot animation. ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING! Thank you!!

AND sorry I'm such a noob

Few months ago someone stole my phone. I couldn't install Plan B app because phone was turned off. Today I noticed that someone have logged in at my gmail account month after i lost it. Is it possible to find out what phone number was used to login?
[Android Apps and Games] RockRatt:
These were originally made to use with AJs Semi ucle5 ROM. I recently got a request for them after a long period of time. So I thought I might as well post a link to all of them here. I do NOT plan on making them for other ROM bases but let me know if you do try them on others let me know how it goes and I will update the thread with whatever ROMs they work on. I will also update with pics later so you can SEE the look of them and compare them to the names.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] supertaco:
I'm here, requesting help, i've read (i think) almost everything. Try everything and i'm not able to recover my G2x.

I'm from mexico, and my english it's no so good, i hope that everyone can understand what i'm trying to say U_U

I brought a used T-Mobile G2x from ebay. I was SOOO happy with the phone, a good one, a kickass :) and it was about $250 dlls for me. I think that was a good deal. The phone was on a average/good condition.

So, i rooted it, then after, moved the rom from stock to CM7 stable.

I changed then to eaglesblood ICS, then another eaglesblood, and then again CM7.

The phone was working very good. Then, a issue appeared.

Some day, the phone was a little slow, then i rebooted it. And then started the pain...

The screen showed the LG Logo, white brilliant. And after a seconds, power off. What!?

I tried to power on again. Nothing. I did the battery pull and then worked fine. I thought that was a simple bug or something.

Later, the phone ran out of energy. I pluged on the wall charger but nothing happened. I left it for an hour and tried to turn it on. Nothing...

Then charged the battery with a multicharger and the same problem. LG Logo, nothing. Checked on the CWM Recovery and did a cleanup of battery stats, nothing. I was desperate, so i've flashed my phone with Eaglesblood again. Vuala, the phone worked... 'till froze and i had to pull the battery... Again, LG Logo... nothing.

The phone boot up by himself after leaving it for an hour or more. But i had another problem... Battery at 999% Or battery stuck at 32% and suddenly dies...

I've checked with the battery app and saw that the battery said 0 mV

I have 2 batteries, and the both with the same problem. One LG, one chinese.

So, i went with a friend of mine, i took borrowed a battery of his LGO3D, and... nothing :(

The phone works with APX, powers on on the recovery, i even sometimes reads ok the battery and the phone comes alive, 'till i have to reboot it because the phone is so slow after 2 or 3 weeks without a reboot... but it's so rare and random...

I even updated the phone with the 21y baseband and the new stock rom, but keeps doing the same thing...

I'm just at the point that i want to throw the phone to the wall...

There are something that i can do?

Change some piece?

I must say that when the phone read the battery and it's ok, i can charge it normally, works perfectly, usb ok, everything it's like nothing was bad. But the problem is if the phone shut's down...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oOo B0XeR oOo:
Get adb working with USB and if using a windows pc open Command Prompt and run

adb devices

....Make sure your device is found, an ID number will appear if successful....

adb reboot

....Let the phone start rebooting. When "adb devices" works and shows the phone ID again proceed...

adb shell
$ su
# dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
# logcat -v time -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt
# exit
$ exit
adb pull /sdcard/logcat.txt %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\logcat.txt
adb pull /sdcard/dmesg.txt %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\dmesg.txt
exit

If you get a complaint with those last 2 commands; change %USERPROFILE% = whatever your username is where your Desktop is located. (i.e. C:\Users\me\Desktop\dmesg.txt)

Then either email them to me or post them on www.pastebin.com and post links to both files.

I'm a little lost...

First of All! Thanks for the help :)

And i dont know... The phone must be ON to do that?

The phone right now doesn't power on, just the LG Logo, at this point, when i attach to a computer via USB Cable, the computer doesn't detect anything...

I can enter the CWM Recovery, it's enough??

And a funny thing: The phone NEVER powers ON (Not even the LG LOGO) when usb or charger it's connected.

EDIT:

Good news, i've got adb working, but i don't have su, i'm downloading it :) thanks

EDIT AGAIN :(

The last time that i've flashed to stock rom the g2x forgot to root the phone :(

i've already tried with adb commands, but i got errors when i try...

I guess that i need usb debugging On, and i doesn't have it...

I'm on a dead end??

Go to the ROM for recovery thread in development section, follow it step by step and your phone will be 100% alive and kicking on GB 2.3.4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oOo B0XeR oOo:
If I recall you were the one who emailed me and I sent you links to NVFlash correct? Did that work for you? I'm just trying to see what your question really is. It sounded from you OP that the hardware perhaps keeps failing and no matter which ROM you flash, you eventually get stuck in bootloop like you are now. Are you just trying to get out of bootloop or is this a reocurring problem? If your stuck in bootloop then your only solution is to NVFlash a recovery and push a rom. If its reocurring then we gotta figure out why... thats where my instructions come in. So you need to tell us exactly what you're trying to do.

As for adb yes you can adb from recovery. You gotta go to Mounts and storage > Mount /system though or else the device wont show.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] supertaco:
Ok... my first problem: Language. I don't have problem with the reading, but writing... i'll try to put my words on the right place :)

I don't remember, when i first flashed my G2x i did it with the Rom Manager App... the result came on a bootloop. Then i used NVFlash and flashed a correct ClockworkMod Recovery. Installed CM7 and everything was fine. Then i wanted to try ICS and flashed it again. No problem. I normally follow the guides step by step, and the phone was right. Then, one day the phone froze and was the first time that i had the bootloop with the LG Bright Logo, then dim, and then power off.

The problem not was while i was flashing a rom. Because while i was on the problem, i flashed with NVFlash the original bootloader and then restore the original firmware, and the problem still there. Right now the phone has the stock rom, updated by the LG utility, and the problem persists.

I think that is what you say. The phone doesn't pass the LG Logo screen no matter which rom i flash... What i don't understand is that the phone seems to be ok. When it powers (a week ago) it worked just fine...

I don't think that is a bootloop caused by a bad flashing... i think that is a recurring problem...

I have this 2 folders with tools for the NVFlash, i think that the both of them are right...

One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-04-28-12 [Folder]

One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23 [Folder]

They have the APX drivers and NVFlash and the One-click-G2xr-recovery-flasher app...

I'll mount the /system in recovery and i will try to get that log. With the /system mounted then i think that i can root the phone...

I'm gonna try... let's see what happen...

Thanks :)

EDIT: I noticed (when the problem first came) that the sticker of water damage was ripped off... is not there... But i don't know if the phone was really damaged by water, because i'm not the first owner... The phone was working fine for about 6 months and now it's just like i'm explaining...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oOo B0XeR oOo:
Ok, I bet your partition tables are messed up. If you can get that dmesg and logcat file it would be ideal but if you cant then we just gotta move forward.

First copy all your stuff from SDcard and internal memory into a folder on a PC. Make a backup using clockwork or whatever and also copy that onto a PC just to be safe.

Then you need to search the G2x forum for this batch utility called something like "auto-formatter partition repair tool" or something similar. If you cant find it message me.

Youll want to run that first, its going to completely wipe all of your stuff and reformat the blocks sizes. Once done youll need to NVFlash a CWM recovery again. Then push a ROM over to the phone and install with CWM. (Dont push a stock rom or anything Gingerbread. Ideally push EaglesBlood ICS since I know it works and can help you troubleshoot.

So i would do that first because i bet your upgrade when u said you attempted to install ICS corrupted the file system, which can happen if you dont format /system prior.

Get the utility, backup everything , format the partitions, NVflash CWM recovery, push ICS rom, install, install GAPPS, come back here and tell me it worked ;)
