Hi Decasys, follow this step :

*Unlock boot loader with htcdev/bootloader

see your HBOOT version : you face problem describe on this thread if your hboot ver is 2.00.0027 you have to download file as below to achieve version 2.00.0029 because it support token key for unlock.

1. download this rom copy to your c:\ drive : http://www.mobfirmware.com/dl/behtash/imei dhd/rom.zip

2. then download : http://www.mobfirmware.com/dl/behtash/imei dhd/dhd update hboot by behtash.rar

3. run hboot update by behtash.bat in normal mode ,waiting until flash hboot complete

at this point your HBOOT will be upgrade to 2.00.0029 (check it)

*Then continue to use :

Easy unlock tools, follow insctrution in this therad : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2133336

at this point, on your bootloader, it will have "unlocked" notification on the top

*Then continue to use :

Easy Ace root tools, on this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2169515

When you run it, just choose to flash CWM (as I remember it was option #2)

And then continue to flash SU (as I remember it was option #3)

That's all, you gain root access.

Update again...

Seems the way I get the root access can't use to install custom ROM.

I try to install cyanogenmod as in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073992

But seems after do all the steps to install a custom rom there, my phone was stuck on HTC logo...

Fortunately, I have do nandroid backup, so I can restore to stock roms...

What i want to ask is, why my phone can't install custom ROM now? I know that I still has S-ON, but is that the cause? If yes, is there any possible way for me to get S-Off and install a custom ROM?

glevitan, i need your help again I think :) :angel:

Update again :

After checking on some place, apprantly i still left some steps :)

this one :

Flashing roms with an unlocked bootloader

Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)

Download the rom zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.

Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)

Put the zip file in your sdcard.

Boot into recovery and do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system)

Flash rom (install zip from sdcard)

Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.

You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)

Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located.

Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom

Finally I can enjoy my custom rom :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Decasys:
Finally.

Finally.

I did it. I followed your instructions and I have root my phone.

I'm using the Custom ROM JellyTime and works perfectly.

Many Thanks for your help.

ok I'm not new to rooting and roming I'm coming off a rooted and Romed atrix 4g. My question is I was going to root my att s3 with the s3 root tool kit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746665 which allows you to root and flash a custom recovery. but what I didn't see is a way to unlock the bootloader. I didn't know if that would be required, to flash a custom rom, I know I had to do that with my atrix. If so does anyone have any easy link for unlocking the bootloader. also I had heard that some people have had issues after root connecting to att lte. I wouldn't think it would matter since the apn's wouldn't change. thanks ahead of time for any help, and call me a noob if you want, I could care less.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Don't use that as I believe it will trip your flash counter.

Use the no trip root guide located in the android development section.

Also, you do not have to unlock the bootloader, it is already unlocked, you just have to get rooted by flashing with Odin and then install a recovery. I recommend TWRP which can be easily installed through goo manager once you are rooted.

The issues with LTE are not associated with rooting, but rather with flashing AOSP based ROMs but I do believe they have fixed most or all of those issues.

Lastly, I too cane from an Atrix and the S3 is a bazillion times better. I reccommend Triune 2 for a custom ICS ROM (avoid touchwiz JB ROMs for now) and Task650's AOKP ROM. Also, ktoonsez has the best kernel available with up to a 2.1GHz oc.

Cheers, PM me fellow atrix user if you need any other assistance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aklbeach:
yea i saw the other method too. maybe I'll go that way. i wasn't to worried about the whole tripping the flash counter. since it looks like chainfire has a fix. although it sounded like that could be more risky than rooting. thanks for the answer about the bootloader and the lte issues. actually still on the atrix for the moment running nuetrino bc the first night i had the s3 i dropped it and completely cracked the screen. was a little disappointed since i have dropped my atrix countless times and never had an issue. oh well thanks for in store warranties.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Yeah, I've seen some people have had issues using the Triangle Away app, so it's better to just not trip the counter to begin with.
[HD2 General] ConradW:
Hi guys

I know everyone complains about the HD2 battery running out, but I've found that that it's running out in less that 5 hours. It's always warm and it gets sluggish and unresponsive. HOWEVER, when i run windows 6.5 it works perfectly. Those problems only seem to occur when I'm running android.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I tried using Juice defender but I didn't have much luck. Is there a different android rom I should use (i'm currently running cyanogen mod9)? Should I man up and try windows phone 7?

any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I always found android made running temps higher & only Wm6.5 or WM6.5.x gave good battery life.

WP7 is not a power friendly ROM & has a few other issues for some so trying other Androids such as NexusHD2-ICS or NRG's android rom or sticking with a good WM6.5.3 may be best if longest battery run time & device functionality & health is a concern.
[HD2 General] AthenaLod:
not sure how helpful, but seems like something is running in the background, most likely, it is something that is location-based and the gps is trying to find your location. check the running apps.
[HD2 General] ConradW:
So I installed NRG's android rom. It's running so smoothly now. I'm going to test out the battery life tomorrow but I'm pretty hopeful.

Thanks for the help.

Hey Guys and Girls,

I just got my Galaxy S III a month ago and I am developing a problem I can't seem to figure out. On the edges of the phone, where the glass meets the blue plastic I am getting a build up of dirt. I keep my hands very clean as I am super OCD about my devices. With that being said, I am getting dirt and "grime" build up in the sides. Sometimes it's hard to notice but it becomes clearer as more days go on. I have contacted Samsung and they were unwilling to decide what it was without seeing it. I contacted my carrier who sent me a replacement after ten or more calls. The new device seems to suffer the same fate. I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem or knows how to get rid of it. I tried to clean it with an air canister with no luck and plenty of sharp objects. None which would do a great job, the only thing that came close was a toothbrush and that was difficult to say the least. Is this a known problem or am I getting more defective devices. Thanks for your input.

P.S- I know the photo isn't great and I will take more to show the effects. It is most noticeable in the corners, the sides, and around the speaker and home button.

Appreciate the help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
I don't have any issues and I have the white one, so it should be more obvious.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] annulation:
I had some lint build up in mine before I got a case (free zoogue deal) that covers the gap. I just used the corner of a folded piece of paper to clean it out a few times. Personally, I consider that gap to be a design flaw, particularly considering that the gap is not uniform on all sides...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chaoticfury:
I will try the paper trick, pretty much the only thing I didn't use. I find the gap to be a flaw as well considering that over time it is only bound to get worse. I have found that some spots are wider than others. Not sure why they would create a design like this but glad to see I am not the only one. I thought I was being OCD for awhile.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
The gap isn't a design flaw: it's actually the seam between the front and back of the phone, and it's where you slip a spudger (flat plastic knife) in order to pry it apart (after rear screws are removed) for repair.

Just put a case on it -- any case will do -- and then it's virtually a non-issue. If you don't want to use case then just live with having to clean out the gunk build-up every couple months.

(And, frankly, it's kinda lame that you *****ed about this "problem" over 10 phonecalls and then they finally gave you a replacement phone to make you go away and stop costing them money)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AngelsNecropolis:
Before I had a case I didn't have this issue. The gap isn't very noticeable. I have a Diztronic TPU case now ($10 Amazon) and it has a small lip which covers that gap. Maybe you have dirty pockets or a batch of phones that just had a slightly larger gap.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chaoticfury:
You are entitled to your opinion about how lame or not lame it was for me to call, but the truth of the matter is I have owned a multitude of phones in my lifetime, none which had a problem like this at all. I am not sure if you are in Canada, but a three year term for a phone that constantly needs maintenance for removing dust does not seem like a premium device in my book. Not to mention the fact that if it finds it's way under the screen as you suggest, then it would only cause future problems, outside of the one year warranty, rendering me with an inoperable phone. So I can't say I agree with your analysis of my calls. Not to mention it costs them a negligible amount to speak with me on the phone.

Most of the cases I have found only cover the rear of the device and do not cover the lip. I would hate to cover up my super phone in a five dollar POS case just for the sake of keeping dust out of a device that should have been designed to not have that happen to begin with.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
It can't get behind the screen because it's one piece, so don't worry about that.

Yeah, many of the hard polycarb cases -- like Samsung's mesh case, or the popular Rock Quicksand -- that offer little edge protection don't cover the the entire lip because they can't. All TPU and hybrid cases do, though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AngelsNecropolis:
Most TPU cases have a lip which wraps around the front. It's not a hard plastic case that tries to snap into place. I have the Diztronic case and the lip is definitely there and it definitely covers the gap you're referring to. I had a TPU case for my GSII and it's the same basic design. If you don't want a case then you'll have to put up with the dirt in the crevices or get a different phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chaoticfury:
Thanks Angels,

I will have a look at the cases as you suggest and try to find one that I like. I would hate to give up this phone as I very much enjoy it and don't see any other phones that interest me at the present moment.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AngelsNecropolis:
Np. I use this case. http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...54&sr=8-7&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+s+III+tpu The matte feel is nice and it comes with a screen protector which I applied and it's good quality as well. It doesn't attract as much finger prints as other screen protectors I've used and it's very clear.

Off Topic:

But... even with a TPU case you'll have to be careful of drops. Gorilla Glass isn't as strong as it's touted to be against sudden impacts (watch iPhone5 vs Samsung Galaxy S III drop test). My GSII got a small scratch prior to applying a protector and just today a coworker dropped her GSII on concrete and the TPU case didn't stop the screen from severely cracking. It will protect from a lot of surface scratches though. My mom just got her first smart phone (a Pantech) and dropped it and it slid across the floor. I hadn't gotten her screen protector yet and her screen has some small scratches and nicks.

I guess my point is even if it reduces the aesthetics get a case, a screen protector, and be careful still. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chaoticfury:
I ordered that case like you suggested but it has yet to arrive. The replacement phone I got from my carrier is having even worse problems than my first one. I was even more careful with this than the others. Not really sure what to do. I am intrigued by the fact that I see nobody who has a white GS3 post problems about it. I wonder if the blue is the only one with these kind of issues.

I have. White phone no such issues I also noticed the white button sticks out a bit more.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cboone:
I had a blue one and had the same problem. The dust was noticeable around the edge and around the speaker. I ended up exchanging it because the home button died. All they had in stock was white so I took it. I have to say, the white one has much less of a seam and there is no noticeable dust build up!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chaoticfury:
Going to see if I can get a white. I prefer blue but I hate this problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pdubcramp:
Mine collects dust too and I use a Rock case. I'd clean it if I could, but I can't seem to fit paper or anything in to push it out either. It's hardly visible, not putting too much thought in to it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
When I first got my first A2, the rep at best buy put on the screen protector before I left the store... (keep in mind that this is my first "smart" phone of any kind, let alone android) ..so, I had never really known it without a screen guard/shield/protector until I got my 2nd A2 (and, subsequently 3rd).

The 2nd A2 I knew was temporary because of a dead pixel in the center of the screen (and other signs of refurbishment), so I never bothered putting on a screen guard. And with my 3rd A2 and I still haven't put one on - I have a brand new Zagg Invisible Shield just laying there, but it been over 2 months... And, I gotta say I like it much better.

Now this can all depend on the shield you use, but without a shield, the touch seems more responsive, the screen crisper, it's easier to clean...

I have a nice case that is raised a bit on the topside edges to help protect, and I never put anything else in the same pocket as my phone...

I know it's risky, but don't we have Corning Gorilla Glass already? Can you scratch that? And I do eventually have a contract upgrade coming anyway..

Thoughts? Preferences? Keep your minds out of the gutters.. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] fran7382:
I had a screen protector when I first bought the phone, and I got annoyed with it. The screen was dimmer, but the screen was less prone to finger prints. I still have it as it's reusable, but I left it in the car in the Florida heat, so the layers of it are peeling off. My screen also jumps and stutters when it's plugged in and fully charged to 100%. I should probably buy another one to preserve the screen seeing as how I don't upgrade until May. :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
I have to agree with you. I personally was super paranoid about scratching my screen and so I put shields from various companies on my screen to help protect it. The screen guard got dirty and so I took it off, and I love not having the screen guard on because of the reasons you stated.

I am pretty sure our phone comes with gorilla glass, but it isn't invincible. I have a scratch on my screen but it isn't noticeable when using the phone just when the screen is off. But I guess just keep it safe in a pocket that you don't have anything in and don't have sand chillin' in your pocket.
[Motorola Atrix 2] r_scotter:
I've had this phone for almost a year and I didn't start using a screen protector until a couple of months ago. For some reason the screen on this phone scratches easier than my Captivate. I keep them in my pocket but the Atrix 2 has accumulated quite a few small scratches near the bottom of the screen and around the buttons.

I would rather not use one, but I would like this phone to last a while, even as a back up. I've tried several protectors and I've settled on the Great Shield clear protectors. You can get 3 for $7.99 on Amazon and they install easy and are pretty durable. You can also take them off, clean them and reinstall them without losing any adhesive properties.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
i had a anti-glare screen guard which i used for 6months and one day due to some expt i was doing on my phone with skins it got off. havent put one back, have just one tiny 1mm scratch which is visible only if you look at it tangentially. have to say the colors look more vibrant and the touch is more responsive (might be due to OC and cm10).

Anyways, i have a case with raised edges, same as altered described, and i take extra care of my phone now. but since im keeping this phone for another year n a half atleast, will definitely get a new screen guard, (maybe one without the anti-glare effect, if i find one) cause gorilla glass Is prone to scratches.
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
Real men dont use protection...

Stay classy.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tchsvy:
Initially I didnt use any "protection" LOL, but had two tiny scratches on the screen. Yes, it does catch scratches easily compared my previous devices, I tried these 1. Amzer anti-glare, will be good for 1/2 months then you will hate it, 2. Amzer Mirror Screenguard, gave me migraine (literally!) 3. Right now having Xtremeguard on it and like it.

There are basically two reasons why I get the screen protectors, to protect the screen obviously and the screen without protector is too slick for my liking, that's just my opinion.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
My first A2 went from release day to this September when it bricked and was replaced. In that time frame i had only acquired 2 micro scratches never had a screen protector on it nor do I have one on my replacement. Also the glass is coated it's that coating that is scratch resistant. Watch this

[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I have a serious thing against screen protectors and cases. I prefer my phone to be naked.

Screen protectors, no matter what you people say, make the screen worse in some way. The display is made to work well alone. They just all suck, and if you ever want it off, in a lot of cases, god help you, especially with self adhesive ones. They do however help prevent scratches, because you will just scratch the screen protector instead of the screen, so if that is important, you may want to consider it.

Cases, now this is just opinion. There is no doubt that they help prevent your phone from breaking, I just absolutely hate them. I don't like to bulk up my phone and make it ugly.

All that said, I take very good care of my phone. I have never dropped it, and I doubt I will, so there is no need for a case if you are careful.

P.S. yeah, gorilla glass is a joke, it still scratches. Just has a slightly higher hardness, and wont break as easy, but coins or keys will still do their job the same.
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
Priceless!
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
First up I feel like a dunce picking up that Skinomi worth 7 green skins :mad: sucks bad bad. Totally not recommended.

Gorilla glass is in iteration 2 of implementation so that speaks for itself about our ver 1. Plus there is no Oleophobic coating on our device. I invested a massive 20 + $ greenbacks on Otterbox and though no complaints with usability it sure makes the phone bulky and downright fugly. None of the screen guards last more than three months until you need to put a new one.

In India, given the extreme dusty atmosphere in cities, a small two hour ride in public transport coats the phone with dust. Otterbox covers the all ports with covers so that's good. In my opinion just a slip in/out elegant pouch is the best option. Screenguard I reckon is required. Wish 3M made the privacy screen protector for Atrix 2.

Help please..my Note is stuck at the "Samsung" glowing word and can't finish booting

I have an international Note and I was still on the factory Gingerbread. After I chose to update my note since it states that it is available for wi-fi download in the setting, it would download the new firmware (I believe) and after it finished the installation, my note got stuck at the "Samsung" word and would not finish rebooting.
