[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordan67:
Hello,

I recently returned my GS3 because of an audio problem.

My GS3 was rooted, so before to returned it, I used Triangle Away to reset the flash counter then I flashed an official firmware with Kies. The status of the GS3 was "normal" (in french but I suppose it's the same in english) and my counter showed a "Samsung Official"

The problem is that Samsung refuses to repair my mobile and claims my warranty is voided because my device was rooted and asks me to pay for the repair.

So I have two questions :

Firstly : How can Samsung know my device was rooted after a reset of the flash counter, a flash with an official firmware and an hard reset ?

Secondly : Is There anyone else who had the same problem with Samsung ?

What ROM build and modem did you send it back with?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordan67:
At first the phone was the official rom (Samsung 4.0.3) then I put Cyanogen Mod 10 (root), then I went back to the official rom via kies (I put away Triangle) and I again flash for a rom clean. Then I did a hard reset.

I never flash the modem

I send my phone with the official Rom (4.0.4) downloaded with Kies
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Was it the right version... ex, was it originally on a carrier branded firmware, but you flashed an unbranded version?

Did you flash another region's firmware, ex Polish firmware will have a different CSC to an English one, and can show it has been rooted.

Are you sure there were no root apps, or CWM recovery zips on your internal sd?

All of these can show the system has been rooted before, and are grounds for voiding warrenty (examples can be triangle away apk, CFroot, rom .zips etc.

I have never had my internal sd wiped when I wipe data/factory reset, so this could be plausible.

I was wondering how one would root the galaxy S3 and flash stock Jellybean on it, would it be possible? I have only rooted my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 before and it was very easy, but this is obviously more difficult. Is there a way to do it? I have the gt-I9305t Model, on Telstra 4G.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] chippyuk:
Do you have the S3 or the S3 LTE.

If the i9305 LTE there are several threads here that describe how to root, this is the one I folowed; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914394 but I would recommned this; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935570

Make sure your actual phone model is the supported or you can brick it.

If you do not have the LTE then head over to http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1685, I would follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 or just go through the thread as there is probably just a rom you can flash via Odin which is pre-rooted.

It is all very simple, just make sure you do some reading first.

EDIT: Sorry, just saw you posted your model number. the 9305t is different so just search the forums as the ones I listed will probably brick your phone.

It works for all I9305 and I9305t

There is no stock jelly bean Rom like cm at the moment.

I got it today....its small and only noticeable when in light...I just got this phone yesterday...anything I can do to fix?
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
No. All the products that say they will "fix" scratches are basically abrasives that wear the entire screen down to the scratches level. This is like throwing water on an oil fire. Seems like a good idea but the results aren't the intended ones.

There are only two options that actually work:

1. New device/screen.

2. Screen protector to diminish the appearance of the scratches.

You're going to need to throw the phone on a concrete tile, face-down. You should not be able to see the scratch anymore. If needed, repeat the procedure.

Unfortunately, no. Like other posters have said, slap a screen protector on it to diminish the scratch. Anti-reflective protectors do a good job, IMO, of hiding small blemishes, but not everyone likes how they make the screen look.

[General Questions and Answers] TR-909:
Hello.

I have some files that I want to push inside the /sdcard.They are all of the same type (.img).Here is what I am experiencing:

adb push *.img /sdcard

returns the adb command help... doesn't work obviously

If I put all the files inside a folder (eg. img):

adb push C:\Nexus/img /sdcard/

it starts copying all the contents of the img folder to /sdcard (adb ls /sdcard/ confirms so)

now if I want to remove those files from /sdcard, since they happen to have the same extension:

adb shell rm /sdcard/*.img

and all these image files (.img) are removed - the wildcard now is working. ;)

Now is this normal behaviour or am I missing something? I mean is it that ADB command does not support wildcards?

If so copying the contents of a folder is it the only way to mass copy from PC to the phone?

Thank you. :)
[General Questions and Answers] DJLamontagneIII:
Yea i believe it will only push or pull a full folder or a specific file.. but thats the beauty of it.. dump all the files you want in a folder and push it right where you want them
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Based on my very limited experience, wildcards are not supported by push/pull commands, but you can pass along anything you want through "adb shell" and wildcards will be processed as expected.

Can I change permissions of several Files that I have pushed into a system folder ??

:good:Information shared on this thread is useful to me..

I come to understand that I can push multiple files to /system/<directory> using following command

Can I do this:

Copy all file to a folder and then copied the whole folder to adb.exe directory. sy my Folder name is "MoveAll" in C:\<adb directory)

adb push MoveAll system/app (got root access and remount rw to do this)

or

adb push MoveAll system/lib

Now my question is that can I change the file permissions as well in on shot ???

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk (if all files that i copied are .apk files)

or

adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/*.so (if all files that i copied are .so files)

[General Questions and Answers] TR-909:
Hello.

Wildcards (*.fileExtension) do not work with adb or so it seems.You could always use the "copy to folder" trick though.

Put all your images in a folder - I assume you have windows.So:

all images to C:\Images

then open adb and:

adb push C:\Images/ /sdcard/Images/

the above command will copy all the contents of the C:\Images folder (so practically all your images in there) to the /sdcard/Images folder (could be any folder you prefer).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] firstdirection:
I'm very comfortable with flashing and using custom roms, I've been doing this since the original Droid.

I rooted my GS3 right after I got it, and it was great until the OTA updates started coming out too quickly.

I like having root use, so I decided to flash the new blazer rom, I always liked the one for the gs2.

So I download it, put it on external SD, go to clockworkmod, nandroid backup, wipe data/factory reset twice, flashed the rom.

It won't turn on. It just buzzes, shows the samsung screen and shuts off.

Fine, it doesn't work i guess. So I go to put it back in recovery. NOTHING. just buzzes a few times, that's it.when charging while off it shows the battery icon, but when i hold volup home button and power it acts like it's going into recovery, then shuts off.

I don't know what to do I've never had an issue getting any phone into recovery.

HELP!!!!

If you took any OTA, Samsung patched the stock recovery to rewrite itself everytime it boots. I suggest you odin VALEN (LEN stock 100% stock), and start the rooting process all over again.

I think whoever said that if i had ever accepted an OTA update a few comments ago hit the nail on the head. my kids were playing with the phone and accepted it about a week ago. it didn't work obviously, but i guess it re-wrote something that is causing this issue. I'm going back to stock whenever the VPALEN stock rom is done downloading. It seems sprint or google or samsung doesn't like us to mess with the phones, and keeps putting out "fixes" for people who have rooted. it'd be nice to watch my movies on there without worrying about the drm but at this point I'd just like my too damn expensive phone back lol.

This is exactly what I was about to suggest. File corruption is actually quite common and you can get a bad download just by downloading a file straight to your phone. Try re-downloading the file on PC, then transfer it to the device.

Only downside is that you have to manually pair the controller every time you want to game instead of it being ready to go. Other big hassle is that you have to create your own button mapping profile (or google one) for each new game that you want to play. Wish there was a good app to centralize most of them.
