[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] t-tyme01:
Hi,

Just got my Galaxy SIII and I was listening to Pandora the other day. I had the screen off when all of a sudden the music stops. I hit the power button to see what was going on when it showed my lock screen and where the icons for my time and signal is suppose to be there was a blinking prohibition symbol, the circle with the forward slash going through it. Anyway I couldn't unlock my phone as it seemed frozen. Than I noticed after a minute the time showed and I got signal again, than the screen blinked and I was able to unlock my phone and get to my home screen. Started up Pandora and it was good for the rest of the day. This is the first hiccup this phone had. Something to be concerned about?

I'm a old member of this site that went iPhone but now I'm back and boy has things changed!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rootyourphones:
Yes my phone locked up on me a hundred times , im trying to sell it and use my iphone 5 instead too many problems on it and the keyboard is slow and lags alot .theres no music display on the lockscreen u should get rid of it and buy something else you're gonna have more problems in the future so prepare for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] t-tyme01:
Sounds like the first reason I left to go iPhone...hahahaha...oh great...I would have thought it was all figured out by now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
Maybe you just have no idea how to use root to fix your issues. Love my S3, it crushes your puny, boring iPone.

Seriously man, why are you even here? I looked at your posts and you're obviously a iPone fanboy. Are you just here to troll? Do you work for Apple?

OP, if your phone is freezing up on you, try a custom rom and see if that fixes it. Or, if you haven't rooted yet (or even if you have and know how to flash back to stock), get a warranty replacement since your device may be defective.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] t-tyme01:
Finally a light at the end of the tunnel. I love the S3 too. I came from a iPhone 3GS but I have lots of usage time with the 4, 4S and 5. The S3 to me is a lot more fun. You can do so much more. I admit I don't miss the hiccups though. Just this morning I had to restart it because it wasn't picking up a network signal and after the restart it was fine. Probably a network issue but those are the things that never happened on a iPhone. I guess you have to give up comfort for cool features on the androids. A friend of mine says root another says don't cause that leads to more problems....I know rooting would give me lots more control though right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
Yeah, rooting would give you a lot more control. Just make sure you read carefully and know what you're doing, the stickies at the top of the Development and General sections include everything you need to know to get started.

But you may just want to start with doing a factory data reset. This would delete all your saved files, pictures, music, etc, but you can back anything up on a pc before doing it and you'll still have it. Just go into Settings/Back up and reset/ and select Factory Data Reset. This will format your data and will remove any bad data that could be causing you problems, and you'll be back to the out-of-the-box state.

Or, if you want to try rooting, after reading up of course, this is the place to start: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

After rooting you can install custom roms with built-in fixes for certain issues, or you can just be rooted and use apps like Titanium Backup to freeze the bloatware that AT&T and Samsung put on the device which could be causing lag and other issues.

That said, read these posts (and any others that may apply) before doing anything root:

Puzzled by CSC.

Hello,

I'm asking this here because it looks like you guys might be able to help me understand how CSC work.

I'm trying to understand why I'm not getting the UK Jellybean update, bought my Galaxy s3 phone from Amazon it said UK unlocked.

Here's what my phone "About device" says

Model: GT-9300

Version:4.0.4

Baseband version:i9300XXLF2

Build number:IMM76D.I9300XXALF2

When I run *#1234#

it gives

AP: I9300XXALF2

CP:I9300XXLF2

CSC:I9300OJVALF2

Now from what I've read and looking here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

this would indicate a stock official firmware apart from the CSC

As I understand it the above CSC mean my phone is OJV, while to get the UK update I have to have CSC BTU.

I've tried the CSC selector software but BTU doesn't appear and the phone appears to be set on MWD (this is also what KIES shows)

Can anyone help me untangle and understand this.

Thanks.

Hi. Your phone has African firmware with a multi CSC. There is no Official release yet for Africa. Thats why you are not getting updates. You have 2 options.......1: To wait for the official update for your firmware 2: to download XXDLJ4 and flash it with odin. You will have exactly same result whichever option you choose.

CSC problem

Hello.

I have a problem with changing the CSC of my phone. My phone is a branded i9300 with the stock CSC: ORO. I've flashed I9300XXDLJ4 and my CSC became unknown. Then i tried to flash only the BTU CSC but with the same result: CSC unknown. Also i downloaded the CSC select app but it gives me this error : "process com.android.phone has stopped". also i've wiped data and cache before and after flashing the rom. Do you guys have a solution for my problem or if a have a branded phone i cannot change my CSC?

When I enter in recovery mode it always says something like "Manual MODE. Applied Multi CSC. Applied CSC ORO".

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
Dlid is the baseband not the firmware..

so what you have got is correct..no need to change it..

It happens when the cache.img (it has the CSC files) is not flashed properly when you are using Odin.... if the flashing process gets interrupted due to a reboot ..you will have to flash the firmware again after a full wipe..

sent from here, there, somewhere!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suspktu:
Thank you for the quick answer. A full wipe u mean wipe data and cache from recovery mode?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koorasoc:
Yes, thank you, I've now realised this. I bought the phone on Amazon where it was described as UK unlocked. Obviously this wasn't entirely accurate..

I'm new to this so I'm going to wait a little longer in case the official update is released shortly while I do some more reading.

If I wanted to go the second root, just out of interest, how did you know to suggest XXDLJ4 as the ROM I need to flash, there seem to be so many out there. Sorry if this is a total noob question.

Thanks.

Hello all,

after a big problem, now I have small problem:

1) cm-10-20121022-NIGHTLY-tf201.zip and GApps flashed via TWRP => no problems

2) Reboot => looks fine

3) Titanium backup done / nandroid backup not done

4) hey, a new version of TWRP 2.2.2.0 auf 2.3.1.0 => ok, fastboot => power failure... quick pulse... 180

5) reboot?! FAILED hanging on Asus SplashScreen :(

=> Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000).... pulse 260 and to stare death in the face

questions: What the bootloader has been there to do with the new recovery image?

hmm... ok... nvflash

1) APX modus

2) wheelie.exe --blob blob.bin (for nvflash access) => done

3) nvflash.exe -r --download 4 blob.EBT (standard-ICS-bootloader) => done

4) nvflash.exe -r --download 5 blob.SOS (standard-recovery-image) => done

5) nvflash.exe -r --download 6 blob.LNX (standard-boot-image) => done

6) nvflash.exe -r --download 10 blob.APP (stock ICS 9.4.2.28 ROM, because nvflash works only with ICS-bootloader) => done

7) nvflash.exe -r --go => AndroidRoot 9.4.2.28r01 on the display => reboot and unrooted ICS 4.0.3 starts

8) downgrade to unrooted stock-rom 9.4.2.15 with viperMOD modded by bpear96

9) root ICS 9.4.2.15 with viperMOD v4.6

10) now via GooManager TWRP 2.3.1.0 installiert => no problems at this time

11) yeahhh... normal pulse

12) factory-reset with TWRP

13) cm-10-20121023-NIGHTLY-tf201.zip and GApps flashed via TWRP => looks fine

14) Titanium Backup all apps with data restored => done

15) no Unrecoverable bootloader error after several reboots

16) JB 4.1.2 CM10 running fine

Problem 1) When I'm now select via Android "Reboot" => "Bootloader" or "Recovery" the ROM starts directly. Without a Bootloader or Recovery.

Problem 2) I can't start the fastboot modus anymore. Volume- and Power starts only the Recovery. No USB-icon and no Wipe/date icon.

Note: NVFLASH still works in APX mode

My question: How do I get back to the AndroidRoot.mobi 9.4.2.28r01 bootloader? At the moment I've only the message "Unlocked device" during the start. Until the whole action was there "AndroidRoot 9.4.2.28r01". Or another question: How do I flash in NVFLASH the AndroidRoot.mobi bootloader? Or in the TWRP terminal? Or it is not in the bootloader? Or maybe the bootimage?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
I've done this many, many times before (I've had this phone for a long long time). I am not a noob at this. I restored a factory rom with RUU before on a phone that had a hardware failure and I had to send back. I have flashed radios several times over the years. But today, I am just trying to flash a new custom splash1 screen (something I have done 10+ times over the years).

hboot just will not install the PB31IMG.zip file on my sd card. What happens is it scrolls a bunch of green text lines really quickly about pb31img.zip that I can't read.

Just to make sure that I haven't screwed up the splash1 screen zip file in anyway, I tried flashing some of my old splash1 screens. These are the exact files that I know work, they were successfully flashed, and were my splash screens for months. Nope... these don't install either.

INFO:

I am still on original hboot .092. Yes, my sdcard is FAT32. Yes, I am S-off. Yes, the file is named correctly.

(Being such a clever monkey) I also tried the alternate way. I went and tried flashing with it with adb/fastboot from the PC. Nope... doesn't work. I get an error "unknown partition PB31IMG.zip".

Why in the world did my hboot stop flashing things? I did flash a radio a couple months back (and it worked fine). Could this have broken my ability to flash PB31IMGs?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Have you tried reformating the sdcard, and putting only the PB31IMG.zip back on it? Or do you have another sdcard to try? As for the unknown partition error, i would guess that the splash was made for another phone and not converted properly. Have you tried to see if a radio or hboot or something othet than a splash works? You could try this splash, im 100% positive it works i just flashed it my self. http://dinc.does-it.net/Splash_Screens/Blue_Android_Splash/PB31IMG.zip
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
After I made the post above, I did try installing the spash from a different card. Both of my cards are formatted to FAT32. Both cards successfully worked in the past to flash PB31IMG.zip files. Both also work perfectly fine in the phone for everything else.

These splashes are ones that I made myself. I did not get them from anywhere. I have made and installed many of these. They are precisely 480x800 image files (.bmp) that I use the nbimg tool to make into splash1.img files that go in the PB31IMB.zip. The android-info.txt file in the PB31IMG.zip is:

modelid: PB3120000
cidnum: VZW__001
mainver: 3.17.605.0
hbootpreupdate:3

The "old" splashes that I tried today (after I couldn't install my new one) have already been installed in the past (and worked perfectly). They have not been modified in any way. In fact, one of them that I tried to install today is the exact same splash that is currently installed (the one I want to replace) and has been my splash for the last 6 months. There is nothing wrong with those splashes. They work. The problem is that something is prohibiting me from installing them in hboot/fastboot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I have never heard of a case of someone not being able to flash PB31IMG's unless your s-on, the file is corrupt, or the sdcard needs to be reformated. Other than that the only other thing i could think of is that somehow hboot got corrupted. You could try to reflash hboot via a PB31IMG, but it might not work either. The only other way to reflash the hboot would be to do an entire ruu.

Also pretaining to the info file, the only thing i see weird in there is the mainver: 3.17.605.0. That as far as i know is not a valid android version for the incredible. However i dont think it really matters what it says for mainver, i belive all it really checks is the modelid.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
Well it just worked... probably as you were typing it... I reformatted my small sd card and then tried it freshly formatted. Bingo...

I don't get it, it was fat32 before, it's fat32 now...

Thanks for the help man!

Here's my new one. Take a look. Its just a vacation shot from a couple of years ago over Waimea Canyon on Kauai. It's awfully pretty though.
