[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shmonzi:
Boot loop on I19300

Hey,

I have recently purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 (the international version). It was very impressive, as it was my first smartphone.

Anyways, I googled some and found out that you can change the ROM that your phone is working on, so I went ahead and, read some tutorials and watched some videos. I flashed MIUI version 2.10.19 (the US version). I can't remember if i rooted the phone before or after i flashed the miui rom though. After a few days i got bored. The phone was slower and the battery consumption was worse than the basic ROM. So I went ahead and downloaded the stock polish ROM for jelly bean (4.1.1), and flashed it. The phone restarted and then it was stuck for several long minutes (8-9 minutes) on the flashing samsung logo. As far as I know, that is what a boot loop is.

TL;DR - flashed MIUI 2.10.19(US), rooted the phone, flashed Polish rom 4.1.1 now stuck on boot loop.

Thanks in advance, sorry for the long first post.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
Is your phone the US version (2Gb, dual core, LTE) or the international version (1Gb, quad-core, 3G) ???

You should have flashed the ROM specific to your model, since the US and Int'l versions are very different. Since the MUIU for US worked, I guess you have the US model, therefore the Polish version (Int'l) will NOT work for you.

If damage is done, try booting in download mode and flash the proper ROM using Odin3.

Afterwards, boot in recovery and wipe Dalvik + Data and see how it goes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LKML:
My Phone has the faulty firmware. So my questions are,

1. Is it Possible to trigger the Superbrick bug from the Settings ⇢ Privacy ⇢ Factory data reset?

2. Is it safe to use the original stock Recovery to reset the Phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
1. No, if you're using stock 4.0.4 kernel

2. Yes
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LKML:
Thank You Very much. Re-setted my Phone without any Problem.

Just like the title says.....I am looking at a replacement LCD for my wife's tmobile galaxy phone but I only find the Sprint one cheap. Are these interchangeable?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
my cousin has the sprint one and they look 100 percent identical, form factor wise. Only question is the plug inside the device at the same spot on both devices? Try and look at a break down /disassembly of bothers variants to see what's inside

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrduck123:
Well i'm fairly certain the LCD itself is interchangeable, the board is not. Switching the cases from a T-mobile to Sprint will not work, as the boards are constructed slightly differently on the top and bottom. the T-Mobile will not fit correctly in the back of the Sprint case, I (sadly) know from experience. :/

Some of people ask me how i made my Instagram Desktop. So I decided to make tutorial how to do that.

This is my Instagram desktop:

In this screenshot i used this apps:

Apex launcher

MultiPicture Live Wallpaper

Desktop visualize

Mint button icons

UCCW for count and clock widget

ExtDateWidgetXL for calendar

BeWeather for weather

Circle battery for battery

1. Firs you will need to made wallpaper i will post my psd for wallpaper

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?66pplt9i5a6r6fv

Take screenshot of your instagram profile place picture in that PSD and use Eraser Tool, for delete all stuff except your picture and name

2. I'm using apex launcher with this setup:

Homescreen 9 rows and 5 Columns

3 Screens

Horizontal and Vertical margin NONE

Wallpaper mode Multiple screen (scrolling)

Hide Dock

Hide notification bar

3. Set wallpaper using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from market

FIRST SCREEN

You have Apex page jumps for second, and third page, use transparent icon to hide them

For Count widget (SMS, Calls, E-Mail) i using UCCW 4X1, for that skin is here http://www.mediafire.com/?7v01i37i427snyv

Use desktop visualizer for placing icons on your desktop, you can use any icon pack that you like

For desktop icons on dock use Desktop visualizer with transparent png icon (dock apps are: Appdrawer, Browser, Instagram, Go SMS, Contacts)

SECOND SCREEN

You have Apex page jumps for second, and third page, use transparent icon to hide them

For Count widget (SMS, Calls, E-Mail) i using UCCW 4X1, for that skin is here http://www.mediafire.com/?7v01i37i427snyv

Place widget for clock, date, music, etc on this page

For desktop icons on dock use Desktop visualizer with transparent png icon (dock apps are: Appdrawer, Browser, Instagram, Go SMS, Contacts)

THIRD SCREEN

You have Apex page jumps for second, and first page, use transparent icon to hide them

For Count widget (SMS, Calls, E-Mail) i using UCCW 4X1, for that skin is here http://www.mediafire.com/?7v01i37i427snyv

For weather widget you can use any weather widget that you like

For desktop icons on dock use Desktop visualize with transparent png icon (dock apps are: Appdrawer, Browser, Instagram, Go SMS, Contacts)

Now you can make your own Instagram desktop.

A-MA-ZING !! thx for sharing all this Lesa. JUst one question : where is the page jump option in Apex ??? can't find it...

Again, thx for sharing stuff and ideas. :good:
[Android Themes] lesa0208:
Hold your finger on screen, then select Apex actions and you will find page jumps screen 1, screen 2, screen 3
[Android Themes] 21vm:
OK, having just one screen for now that's why the option was not available.

Merci !

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] erkisto:
Greetings, oh mighty people on XDA!

I am trying to change the FreeXperia screen (.rle file) on the CM 9.1.0 Rom for Xperia S (Nozomi) and i have run into a brick-wall

Whenever i'm trying to extract my boot.img using Dsixda's kitchen(cygwin - i'm a windows user) i get this:

Android 'magic' header not found at start of boot.img
Checking if it exists elsewhere ...
Warning: Android header not found in boot.img (unsupported format)

Error: kernel offset (page size) is 0

Press Enter to continue

Also found out that Xperia S is not on the kitchen's supported devices list, so here is the question:

how can i unpack and pack my boot.img using windows 7 (64-bit)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You can extract it with 7-zip, the boot.img is an ELF file. Repacking will be difficult from there without a complete POSIX toolchain.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
can't extract it with 7zip, it's said that file was not supported ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
use ultra iso or winrar ... just a wild

guess :D:D

I have a Nexus 7 running Paranoid android 2.20 rooted and unlocked.

I have just tried to install "Jays buttery goodness" and rebooted an now my device is stuck on the google startup screen with a open padlock.

I have turned it off and held down the volume up and power which allows me to choose recovery mode however that takes me to the same startup screen where it hangs.

What is the best way to recover my device? is there an application from my pc i can run?

Thanks in advance fr any help

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stijndebruin:
Try the toolkit. There are two, which you can find as sticky threads in the android development section of the forum. From what I understand the toolkit is able to see you tablet when is is in fast boot. Maybe then you can use the toolkit to reflash your ROM and kernel, copy your ROM and kernel to you SD and then make the toolkit reboot your device in recovery.

Hope this works.
[Nook Touch General] jcnbama:
Hello, I just flashed my new Nook touch last night. Everything went well. Except for one thing. Whilst I am waiting on the Play Store to decide it will work I would like to use the Amazon app store to download some apps. When I click get app I receive the following error. As you can see I have no idea what it's trying to tell me. The text in the error box must be white or something. I have the box checked for allowed from 3rd party. I guess I could just wait a while longer until the Play Store decides to work.... Any thoughts?
[Nook Touch General] David0226:
Did you un-check and re-check the install non-market apps check box? This seems to be necessary for some reason. I believe it is checked by default but in order to work, you need to un-check and then re-check it.
[Nook Touch General] jcnbama:
Yes I did. Thanks for the thoughts though. I wish I knew what the error message was. I can't read it. Drives me crazy. Lol.
[Nook Touch General] viouviou:
Do you have a micro SD card in your nook ? Amazon appstore downloads the APKs on the card not on the nook.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] oudbrood:
De Nederlandse klantenservice van LG bevestigt tegen een Android Planet-lezer dat de Optimus 4XHD begin 2013 de update naar Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ontvangt. Hier ontstond de afgelopen weken wat verwarring over, mede omdat het nog steeds niet duidelijk is of de LG de Optimus 2X Speed – LG’s toptoestel van 2011 – naar Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich wordt geüpdatet. LG Nederland is deze keer via de mail wel duidelijk over de update van de Optimus 4XHD: “Deze komt in januari 2013, maar we proberen de update eerder uit te rollen.” De datum wordt door de klantenservice van LG alweer bijgesteld naar het eerste kwartaal van 2013. We hopen dat LG zich aan zijn woord gaat houden; dat hebben hun klanten na het fiasco van de Optimus 2X Speed wel verdiend.

English google translate:

The Dutch Customer Service at LG confirms Android Planet reader that the Optimus 4XHD early 2013 the update to Android 4.1 Jellybean receive. There was some confusion over the past few weeks, partly because it is still not clear whether the LG Optimus 2X Speed ​​- LG toptoestel of 2011 - for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is updated. LG Netherlands, this time through the mail or clear on the update of the Optimus 4XHD: "This comes in January 2013, but we try to update before rolling out." It is printed by LG Customer Service again adjusted to the first quarter of 2013. We hope that LG will keep his word, that their customers after the fiasco of the Optimus 2X Speed ​​deserved.

Hello everyone.

I have tried searching a few threads but i have not found the right info i needed. Here is my story. I am also sorry i am new to Android so i have no knowledge of what Rooting & such is.

I bought a S3 from someone on Kijiji. The phone worked fine & he told me he

JUST

unlocked the device. I said alright & went ahead & bought the phone from him. I came home & looked at the device. The Device Status said " Modified" What does that mean?. I started downloading apps & a app called "SuperUser" wanted permissions to some apps i downloaded. So searched & found it it was rooted because of that app.

After that i downloaded " Rom Manager" seeing as a few people told me to do it to check if it has been trully rooted. ( Bad idea). I did the Factory reset from there & boom the phone just shut off & never came back alive. Did all the reset that everyone said & nothing. Computer wont even see its on or anything. Odin wont show anything either " Thinking he may have rooted it" I tried charging it & nothing. I tried the Vol down, power & home button but nothing will show up. Black screen. When i take the battery out & plug the phone on the charger the red LED comes on but comes off after a few seconds.

Seeing as it may be hardbricked, i contacted Rogers & they are sending me out a replacement S3 for $35. The thing is i want to ask you guys, will they see if it has been truly rooted & such? Rogers tech support agent told me they send it to Samsung & they deal with it & if they see its been rooted i will be charged around $600 for the refurbished device they are sending me. The phone was warranty until Sept 13, 2013.

So all in all, what does "Modified" On the device status mean & will Samsung see if it has been rooted if the phone won't even power on or anything at all? I am just worried that i will have to pay $600 fee for the refurb device.

Thank you for you time & i am sorry if this has been answered somewhere.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dixit:
What exactly did you do in Rom Manager? Did you flash a recovery from there and say choose the wrong recovery? If so you hard bricked it for sure cause it will have written the recovery to the wrong partition (most likely the bootloader partition). If you did not do that, then need exact info on what you did inside Rom Manager.

MODIFIED on the status only means its rooted, thats all, nothing bad.

Dixit

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

BTW to answer your other question, Samsung will probably not be able to tell it was rooted since from your description you clearly hard bricked it to the point where the bootloader was wiped. So Samsung would have to re-write that bootloader which takes JTAG work for them to find out your phone was rooted, I doubt they will do that, plenty of others have been in your situation and Samsung as replaced it without a problem. I dont think their service dept goes to the level of JTAG'ing a device to check if it rooted or check what happened.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dimitri.k:
Hello Dixit & thank you for the reply.

I opened up Rom Manager & pressed the " Reboot into Recovery" Once i pressed that, the phone just shut off & never came back alive ever again. The person that sold me it STILL says he never rooted the phone. Of course we all know why but anyways. I did all the power trickes like holding down the Vol down, Home & power button & nothing comes up at all.

Before all this happened i did see the Status saying " Modified" That is why i asked about it. Rogers techs told me that Samsung will try & force the phone to wake up or force the software back into the phone. They told me if Samsung find out its been rooted, it will cost $600 for me to pay for the refurb device. Funny thing is Refurb S3 from Telus is at $349.99 yet Rogers claims Samsung will charge $600 for it..

Anyways i am a bit worried as well.
