Ok , my last annoying question for you...you said you tried kies, was that for the drivers or did you try that restore method thru kies?

P.S i can't find the 3 file for your device either, maybe its just for the I9300
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mesh2325:
That was for the drivers. I did launch kies with the phone in download mode, but kies cant connect to the device (although it does try).

Btw, thanks for the help with this.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mesh2325:
ok. I have made some progress and have been able to get it boot. My hunch that I had to repartition was correct.

First, I used the PIT file listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29130477&postcount=14

and used the 3 file firmware from here:

https://hotfile.com/dl/158814567/30ec3bc/GT-I9300_XEO_I9300XXALEF_I9300OXFALEA_I9300XXLEF.rar.html

This is not the correct one for my device, but my hunch was that it would Flash and repartition, and then I could flash the correct one on. (This appears to be the polish firmware). I can also once again get into recovery mode.

So, at this point, my phone is once again working, and now ill go back into odin and trying to install the correct firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mesh2325:
ok. Another quick update. Phone works fine not (and got it working in US English). Tried to install the firmware suggested by jeeper1 (root69_ATT_I747UCALG1.7z) but ran into the Nand Write Start!! issue again.

So, I have a working phone once again, although might not be running the exact firmware it should be. Still want to root, but need to recharge the phone first. Will keep posting updates as I get more info (in case anyone else runs into similar issues).

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mesh2325:
OK. Final update. I finally figured out the issue.

My phone is from AT&T US, and is listed on the box as SGH-I747. However, it is actually an international version (GT-19300). I noticed this when I realized there were multiple versions of the upgrade toolkit. Once I switched to the international version:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488

the everything worked perfectly, and I was able to flash the roms.

So, perhaps AT&T sells multiple versions of the phone, once which works in US, and one which will also work internationally.

Basically, I was flashing the incorrect roms for my phone. Thanks for all of the help and input.

hello fellas, i have Bell SGS 3, i used the all in one toolbox to load recovery and then using the recovery i flashed Avatar ROM, after flashing and using it for a few days I started receiving updates which I did and now I am stuck.

I lost recovery, I can not boot into recovery mode, I thought of flashing recovery again but the toolbox is asking for me to put the phone in debugging mode which I did and the toolbox doesn't go anywhere. It is stuck at "Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled" option and doesn't do anything. I thought I will use option available in toolbox to reflash the stock recovery back and go from there, still same, when it reaches the option for USB debugging to be enabled, it just doesn't go anywhere. I thought I will flash stock recovery through ODIN using the option available in toolbox, it does the same, stuck at waiting message.

Please help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I'm assuming you're putting the phone into download mode when you're connecting it to the computer (vol down + home + power)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] creativedevil:
Are you asking me? No, I was not. As per the toolbox, it needed the phone to be in android. And if you are telling me, i will try it soon and will get back to you. Thx for the reply.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
In most cases, to ODIN you need to be in Download Mode (exception is definitely Mobile ODIN). He is making a standard assumption that this is what you are doing. So since you are not doing this, then yes you need to go into download mode. Download and install ODIN to your PC. Have a ODIN flashable ROM downloaded as well. Turn off your phone and go into download mode and connect via ODIN then flash the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I'll add to this by saying to make sure it is a ROM for your device and carrier. An international (i9300) rom will brick your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] creativedevil:
Thanks for the replies guys.

I now did what I was suggested and ran into a different problem.

I flashed stock rom via odin and now my phone is stuck at samsung logo. Odin shows everything was done fine and didn't fail at anything.

Any suggestions?

Thx for your help once again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
This is common. Boot into recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power). When your device vibrates, release only the power button.

Once in recovery, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Reboot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
If you in download mode kies will not connect to phone. But if you will follow instruction i post how to return phone to stock should work just fine.

[Android Apps and Games] ProFragger:
Hi Guys,

Hope everyone is well. Can anyone recommend the best and fastest SMS Restore Program with possibly the ability to Pause the restoration and kick it off again, later?

Reason why I ask: Last time I changed phones I had 20K texts or so on it. It took 12 hours to restore the SMS :eek:!! This time I have 45K texts :eek:!!!

So, unless I want to put my phone in Airplane for 24 hours for a seamless restore, I need the ability to pause and resume the restores on the SMS... OR a BETTER way to restore SMSs... like can I do it via System resources or route? Like copy/pasting the SMS DB or something to the new phone?

Thanks for all your help!
[Android Apps and Games] Zinta:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tLnJpdGVzaHNhaHUuU01TQmFja3VwUmVzdG9yZVBybyJd is a fast and reliable one, you have some options with it like which date period of texts you want restored :)
[Android Apps and Games] ProFragger:
Thanks Zinta! That's the one I have always used, but again, the problem is that it takes like 24 hours to restore all the texts... I need something that can possibly pause the restore, if need be, or if killed by memory management in Android....

Appreciate your help, looking for more advice... Thanks!

Hi.

I want to uninstall the cm9 from my sk17i

I found a post on taringa, an argentina community.

Is for updating the xperia mini pro to 2.3.4. They only use the flashtool and the sk17 firmware.

So, I can uninstall the cm9 using only the flashtool and the firmware?

Or I must uninstall it dowloading zips and gapps and using the recovery mode like installing cm9?

I made a post there (on taringa) making the same question here, and only 1 person tell me that I could uninstall the cm9 using the flashtool and the firmware. But I don't trust in only one person.

Thanks.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotalBS:
I'm sure there are apps out there that do this. The biggest problem with what you want is that the screen/digitizer has to be active to achieve it. With the current unlock system Android, Apple, and Windows Phones have they save battery by making sure the screen is off. Can you imagine the phone always registering every touch? In my opinion it would be a downgrade to have that feature. But if you really want it then maybe look into this. http://lifehacker.com/5921321/smart...lay-on-or-off-when-you-wave-your-hand-over-it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
Not interested in an app like that. Tried it a long time ago and it is terrible in real world use. Pgm nexus works awesome. Haven't seen any noticeable hit in battery life since Ive been using it. There are a few kernel I believe that you can use touch to wake, but nothing to my knowledge that has slide to wake/unlock. I rarely ever use my power button. So then lucky beneficiary of my phone soon will get a pristine nexus. USB ports hardly used also because of car and pogo dock and wireless data transfers.

I think that modded Google Play store has also changed the GoogleServicesFramework.apk (and Phonesky.apk).

So you have to restore both apps (e.g. with Titannium Backup Pro from a nandroid backup).

And wipe cache and Dalvik cache in recovery.

Good luck !

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maxilogan:
Which hardware acceleration are you talking about? If you are referring to Project Butter, then no change at all between 4.1 and 4.2 is the best bet.

Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Proelio:
GPU acceleration. The option is in developers menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
In general you shouldn't touch the developer menu when you have no idea what you are doing, and even if you do, you shall not count on it to make general improvements, because otherwise the options would have been enabled by default...

As for the specific setting you are referring to, it is nothing about enabling hardware acceleration, as that is always enabled. The setting i believe you are referring to, does exactly what it tells you, it forces the use of the GPU even if it isn't beneficial at all, so in general no, you will not see any improvement and never will. This is intended for developers(hint: developer settings), who will make sure their apps work with a hardware rendered ui.
