[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adnanasim80:
Hi everyone,

I have Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305 and running 4.1.1. I am having problem in watching AVI videos on phone. S3 plays some AVI videos and some don’t play and for some just play audio but not video. I have tried YXPlayer2, VPlayer video player, MX Player, MOBO Video Player and few more but its same.

Now I know what u r thinking. Change the video format to play on your phone. Yes I have used Total video converter and Bigasoft total video coverter on my laptop to change video format to play on S3 but the AVI file that phone does not play, it will never play whatever file format I change like mp4 or somefing.

Looks like this is another drawback of Android.

Any suggestion or help please?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Your files may be faulty as SGS3 play many video formats .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adnanasim80:
Ok. I have even changed the AVI files into mp4 format and iphone does play them. If they are corrupt files then iphone would not play them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adnanasim80:
Finally I have found the solution to play all AVI files in Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. I am posting here so it might help others too.

If you copy the AVI files direct into yr phone or memory card then phone will not play, no matter whatever video player you use.

Solution:

Install Samsung Kies and connect yr phone. Make sure you install My FREE CODEC too when it ask to install.

click your phone in Left menu in Kies and you will see full info in main window.

Click Import/Export tab on top.

In main window u will see two options (Import from PC) and (Export to PC)

Click on Import from PC and select Video and select import files or folder.

After successfuly import click video in left menu and play the video in kies.

When you play video in kies, it add the codec and you will be able to play video in S3 too.

I hope this info will help those who might get problem in playing any video in s3.

I've had a tough Android learning curve. Before I mess up again I have a few questions. I intend to flash Scott's "Clean Rom 5.0" onto my VZW S3 and don't fully understand his instructions or flashing instructions in general and always get confused during recovery process.

I have EZ Unlocker, twrp and have downloaded Clean Rom 5.0 onto my phone and can navigate to it in GooManage and choose it.

On the installation of the ROM his page shows the following

I know that I need to unlock (I have EZ Unlocker). When I click unlock I DO NOT hear "that was easy" (yes, the volume was up) but it only visually shows an "unlocked" message.

Leaving the unlocker using the home button I then I navigate to my GooManage app and and according to the installation instructions I am supposed to reboot to recovery. Here is where I get tangled up and it's because I don't fully understand the process from here. When I reboot into recovery from GooManager it does just that and of course places me into recovery. This is the point where I almost bricked my phone last week. I do not want a repeat of that.

My options in recovery of course are:

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

According Scott's guide I only do a data/factory reset within recovery. Do I leave recovery afterwards and twrp to flash the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
After reading your post you don't have a custom recovery installed. What you're seeing is the stock recovery. TWRP is an all touch interface with maybe six to eight options (or buttons). Few questions since you're new:

1) Did you root first? If so, what tool did you use?

2) For EZ Unlock, what version did you use? You should be using v1.2

3) Once rooted AND unlocked, follow this step. You need to open GooManager, press Menu, select "install openrecoveryscript" then it will provide two prompts to install TWRP 2.3

4) Open GooManager, select "Reboot Recovery"

5) Now you should be in TWRP, notice the difference? Select "Backup" and save this either to your internal or external sd card. This backup is also known as a "Nandroid."

6) Now I need you to backup your IMEI. Link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

7) Now that you've backed up your IMEI and performed a Nandroid, it's time to flash CleanRom 5. Reboot into recovery, select "Wipe" then "Factory Reset," next "Wipe Dalvik," then go back to the main Recovery menu and select "install" to put CleanRom in your phone.

8) Done!

Edit: Added the link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
1. Yes, rooted first. The tool I used - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875914

2. EZ Unlock Version - Version 1.4

3. As indicated I installed openrecoveryscript just now

4. Wow, yes I see the difference!

5. Back up completed

6. Reading the IMEI link now.

Should I download "terminal emulator" for the IMEI part?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Awesome. I have doubts about EZ Unlock v1.4. [Edited] Use EZ Unlock v1.2, then select "Unlock" and you're all set. Download via Rootzwiki:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/

I only recommend v1.2 since we had major issues awhile back with other versions of EZ Unlock.

Edit: Yea, its available in the Play Store. You really only need to do the first two IMEI backup methods contained in the thread I provided.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
When I rebooted the phone showed "Samsung" really briefly then went into the animation screen and finished booting. Is this what you wanted to know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea, as long as it flashes by quickly and does not linger then you are properly unlocked. If it was stock and locked, the Samsung boot logo will sit on the screen for a few seconds.

I edited step 7 of my previous post to reflect the following:

-While in TWRP, you will "Factory Reset" and "Wipe Dalvik." This Factory Reset will wipe cache and dalvik cache.

EDIT: Use EZ Unlock v1.2 please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
Ok, I think I am unlocked properly then. It was just up for a very fleeting moment. I downloaded terminal emulator and did the commands "su" and "reboot nvbackup" the phone rebooted and I returned to android and dismissed Terminal Emulator.

So, I guess I am about to find out if I have a brick or not with my first flash eh? EDIT: I just went back to EZ Unlocker and wanted to recheck unlocked status. It showed the Device Status as "Unknown". To be sure I clicked on "Unlock" THREE different times to get the phone to show a Device Status of "Unlocked" I also still DID NOT get the "that was easy" audio message. Is this a problem? Should I find and install the 1.2 version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
On second thought, I'm going to go with my gut and tell you to use EZ Unlock v1.2. I would much rather we get this right the first time. Just use v 1.2 and you will undoubtedly be unlocked.

Other than that, everything should be all set.

Looks like we posted simultaneously. Yea, use EZ Unlock v1.2. I edited each of my posts so reflect this as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
Once downloaded which folder to I place it in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You actually just click on the apk to sideload it. No need to move it to another folder. So, go to Settings/Security/and make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked. Make sure you uninstalled your current EZ Unlock v1.4. Either using a file manager or the Touchwiz "Downloads" folder, select "EZ-Unlock12.apk" to install it. You should hear the audio "That was easy" now, I just tested it to double check.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
I'm having a bit of a problem locating the 1.2 apk. I went to rootzwiki but can't seem to find it doing a search. Still looking EDIT: No luck finding it. Seems 1.4 is the current and I found no earlier version. I have checked back into my version twice and the Device Status shows Unlocked at this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
In my second response to you, I provided a link to the exact thread already bud:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
Dang...sorry about that. Thanks for being so patient with me. My bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Haha trust me, it's fine. I threw a lot of information at you at once so its actually my fault.

Once this unlocks you, you may need to perform step B from the Backup IMEI thread. Once this is done, you should now have a folder in this directory: /sdcard/synergyrom/backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
!

Ok, we now have the audio "That was easy" phew! Going to step B from the Backup IMEI thread. EDIT: I downloaded and successfully installed the Synergy Backup HWKeys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
How did it go? If that folder gets created once you flash what you need to flash, you can now flash CleanRom 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
I believe everything is installed properly. I navigated to the file on my internal SD card called "/sdcard/synergyrom/backup" and it is there. I will follow your guide now and try the flash. Fingers crossed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Great, just reboot into TWRP and Factory Reset/Wipe Dalvik then install CleanRom 5. You will see it change from TWRP to Aroma installer, don't be shocked because this is awesomeness at its finest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drzcharlie:
It's now installing. I will report after it's finished. EDIT: It installed properly and I am now doing a google restore and now it is finished and installed. I don't know how to thank you enough for all the help you provided and the patience you showed along the way. I am bookmarking this guide for future reference. You sir, ROCK!

hello guys

i want to port a rom from HTC Sensation to HTC Vivid

i know that this 2 phone are same with little diffrent

could say me how to port a cyanogen rom from Sensation to Vivid

which files must replace or change

HTC Vivid have cyanogen with some bugs. can i use files from Sensation Cyanogen for Vivid Cyanogen ?

fix some bugs like Camera and video and sd card.
[Android] l0000l:
thanks for big and full answer

question

if Rom that i want to port is Cyanogen mod 10 and base Rom that i want to use files is cyanogen mod 9 or De-Sensed or miui, this method will work ?

this two device that i said are both 'ARM V7' 'cpu msm8660 S3' 'GPU Adreno 220'
[Android] deathviper:
bro base should be similar

means if u r porting lewa then base shoul be cm7
[Android] Myrder:
Out of all the guides I have read, they all say to make some framework.jar/services.jar/framework-res.apk edits. Assuming since it's from the same device, the edits are not needed? Or was this guide just a basic port and we have to trouble shoot on our own?

I'm asking because a ROM has been neglected over in the HTC OneX(AT&T) forums and a buddy and I are taking over. We are looking at updating the base from AOKP to an AOSP.

EDIT: I say neglected... The original dev doesn't have time to maintain the ROM so he passed it down.
[Android] calikevin:
Would this work using Custom ROMS that are BASED on the stock ROMs as the base, or do you need the original Stock ROM as your base?
[Android] l0000l:
I want to port cm10 from sensation to vivid

Vivid never got fully work cm10 to now I must use cm9 or desensed files as base and one of sensation cm10 as a from for port.

I use this that said in post 2 but Rom never boot up :)

Maybe I have problem in editing build.prob or updater-script file :confused:
[Android] cpu999:
If ur lazy, just use my port script at the att gs3 dev section lol
[Android] darkharbinger81:
Nice guide but what if tge base rom don't have any ROMS built for it? The gsm version of my phone has a million roms but the cdma don't have any built that I'm aware of both my base and port rom 2.3.4 What would we do for update scripting then?

Versucht habe ich:

das aahk Kit nocheinmal auszuführen => funktioniert nicht, er findet kein device, oder wenn man den Hack im ausgeschalteten Zustand durchführt wird zwar das HAndy gefunden, der Hack läuft aber nicht durch

Was kann ich jetzt tun???

If you have a desire hd, switch of the antivirus, download the aahk again, reinstall the drivers as well, try again.

If you have the inspire 4g, use the hack kit as well, but the process is different if you have the latest software.

Relock the bootloader if you havent done that yet with htcdev.

But yesterday it just started on this bootloop. The screen just shows the T-mobile sidekick 4g logo then to black and over and over .... I have pulled the battery put it back in and it immediately bootloops. I don't even have to power on . It even bootloops with the charger plugged in the battery symbol bootloops. I tried to put the device into bootloader (pwr vol up/dwn) to do a factory reset. but the bootloader screen just flashes on for a second and then it goes right back into the bootloop.

It appears as if this is bricked but how is that possible on a stock device? I called t-mobile and they could not help. All they wanted to do is sell me a new phone.

@karose465 How old is the phone? If less than a year (doubtful), it should still be under warranty. Or you may be eligible for upgrade pricing: Fore example, "Customers with a Classic plan (two-year contract) are eligible for our lowest upgrade price on a new phone when at least 22 months have passed since their last phone upgrade. A new two-year contract is required to take advantage of best upgrade pricing. Of course, you can always upgrade a phone at any time, regardless of how many months have passed since your contract began."

I think for him and myself, the biggest problem is being unable to get the phone to stay in download mode. For some reason, the battery won't charge and the phone itself continously turns off and on when plugged in. So the charge isn't holding, therefore nothing will stay on/open.

Power Button Repair relating to Boot Loop

my Sidekick 4G is very old and just now went into bootloop... i googled the word and came across this forum.

As quoted above by previous poster that a power button repair was needed... I figured that I had nothing to lose, it being so old, I smashed the crap out of the Sidekick 4G on its power button. Lo and Behold, it booted into the system successfully.

SO... if no one has any qualms about smashing the crap out of their power button... give it a shot. It worked for me.

Mines stuck in a boot loop too.

I don't know if my Sidekicks problem is related to this or not. I rooted it and flashed it over to Glorious Overdose v5 on May 22nd this year and it's been running great. At least it was until last Friday, Sep 13. I was having trouble connecting to the WiFi at my house so I rebooted the phone. When it started to come back up a female voice started saying, "VooDoo lagfix has been disabled." "Converting /data and /system partitions." "Conversion time estimated 10 minutes."

I let it do it's thing and that's all it's been doing all weekend. I can get into recovery mode, I've tried restoring the phone from my backup with no success. I've even tried running through the process of setting up GOv5 again and it says it's successful, but the phone never boots up. It just stays in the same blasted bootloop and saying the same things over and over again about VooDoo. I've checked the VooDoo logs and there is an error file for the 13th and the logs following say "conversion." Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I can do to get my phone working again? Everything I've tried to research so far hasn't worked.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shemsuasar:
v5 hold both volume button, the track button and power button. Should put you into recovery mode. If not, you will have to put phone into download mode. You do this by taking out battery, then pluging into computer. When you reinsert battery hold volume down and power, if I remember correctly, and your download screen should come up. From your cp manually unroot it. Then it should be fixed, and just reroot it. I hope this was helpful

No idea what I'm doing, precisely, but...

Hey, MythEdge. I'm not sure if you get notifications here or anything, but I registered to this site specifically to thank you; my phone ( Sidekick 4G, like OP ) bricked, and I smashed it against the table a few times ( you know, delicately... ) and it resurrected.

So thank you, sir; you were precisely correct. It worked on both of my phones, which had the exact same problem.

Just, wow. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] MythEdge:
And almost a year later I log in and see this. Your most welcome. I haven't been working on phones for awhile but if I remember right, some models can be powered on by plugging the phone into a power source and when the phone vibrates or has a sign of life unplugging the unit. Some cables don't work and sometimes doing this via a computer can power up a device. Other than that, the other more dangerous way is to short out the pins on the bottom of the unit. I don't remember the pins but you can google a charge port diagram to help. I don't recommend doing this unless you have absolutely no other choice. Incidentally, this is why a phone will power itself on when a battery is put in and no other button is touched. The port is wet and corrosion has caused a link on the power pin and believe its pin 3. A simple cleaning with 90%+ rubbing alcohol solution will fix if cleaned quick enough.
