Much like the others here I rooted my T-mobile galaxy s3. The root worked fine and all. Then I downloaded this font changer app (I forget the name but it required a root) I go on to select a font then I go on to reboot like it said. Then bam, my phone gets stuck on the samsung screen. I then proceeded to use odin to put the stock image back on it (I think that's what it's called) It went through. I also did the factory wipe via the recovery screen. But now my phone would turn on, show "Samsung Galaxy S3," go to a black screen, play the t-mobile jingle, and the only thing that happens is the LED flashes but still nothing on the screen. I've tried virtually everything and I still think there is something else I need to do.

Help please?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kipster3001:
I had a similar problem, this is what I did. Try and boot into cwr by hilding the vol up +power+home when it vibrates let go. Now u should b in cwr. Now wipe everything, dalvic, factory wipe fix permission. And flash a new rom cm10 will do..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
The problem is that he may be rooted but doesn't have cwm recovery.

If that's the case then you need to flash cwm recovery first.

I would also try flashing stock rom again or after flashing cwr download nandroid backup of stock rom.

Good luck and let us know if that worked
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] treythetree:
That sounds like a reasonable solution. Can I get a link to the CWM recovery file as well as a guide to it so I don't dig myself into a deeper hole? lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Actually if you're stock recovery, factory reset should wipe everything. Including internal sd, just so you know.

If that doesn't work it'd probably be cleaner to just odin the root66 fw. But if you prefer the other way, you can find recovery files at the top of post 2 in the fw thread. Root66 is at the top of post 1.

I still need to add a few recoveries so if you don't see one you want let me know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] treythetree:
OMG!!! It is working now!!! Thank you so so so much!!!! lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misfit77:
Hey guys,

Was trying to root my stock T-Mobile Galaxy S3, and everything was going fine but after it rebooted from Odin, the screen stayed black, and only the blue LED was pulsing. I assume it has something to do with my phone being on 4.1.1 and the S3 toolkit not liking that. I tried to flash the stock Rom to get it out of this, but now the same thing is still happening. I have tried multiple cache wipes/factory resets and multiple other stock ROMs. I always without fail get the same thing Samsung splash screen/Blue pulsing LED/start up sound and black screen. I'm getting really frustrated and worried. Can anyone help?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] treythetree:
That's actually the exact problem I just solved. You would need Odin 3.04 (well that's what I used) and you need to flash root66 like one of the previous posters here said. It recovered my phone AND rooted it. So try that and tell us what happened.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misfit77:
When I try the root66 it fails in odin. I used the root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA one. First, I had toolkit convert it into a .tar. Then I chose option 8 to flash a stock rom. I skipped ahead to flashing the rom and factory reset like it prompted. Then I tried to flash the .tar and it fails. ..:/. I don't know what else to do.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Actualy I don't use toolkit so I might be wrong, but I don't think you need to convert root66 to tar. Just skip the toolkit. Put your phone into download mode, open odin, connect your phone to pc and flash root66. Check root66 thread for some info about unziping it or converting to anything. All info should be in op. If there is nothing about it then flash it as it is. Make sure that you have phone drivers installed and turn off kies.

I hope it helps.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

I've just checked root66 thread. You don't have to convert it or unzip it. Just flash as it is. Your problem might came from converting that file to tar.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Unzip the fw using 7zip. Then odin flash the .tar.md5 file you just extracted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Don't use toolkit for that just go to root66 thread. Download everything what you need from there and follow steps in 2 post under odin use.

Good luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misfit77:
Thanks for the help, I'll try it when o get home.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Actually I was a bit wrong, like DocHoliday wrote, you just have to unzip it and use tar.md5 file inside. The rest is as I wrote before.

Good luck and let us know how it went
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misfit77:
It worked!!! Thank you both so much!! I was really getting frustrated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Good to hear that! If you will have some problems with sgs3 in the future you can pm me and I will try to help. Just saying that because I'm not looking into q&a very often. Good luck and happy flashing ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misfit77:
I will, thanks again!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Scath:
Did the same thing

I did the same thing. I used the toolkit and was distracted by my son which ended up in me skipping over areas I thought I read and missed the part about JellyBean creating soft-brick.. It did install CWM though :). Low and behold, I soft-bricked my phone with the pulsing blue LED from HELL. I kept having issues flashing everything, luckily the toolkit DID install CWM for me which was of no help. When I used Odin 3.0.4 it worked flawlessly with the stock rooted t999 rom which I have attached along with Odin 3.0.4.

Here is how to fix your soft-brick with the black screen and blue LED from hell:

1.) Download files attached and EXTRACT > root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.7z AND Odin_3.0.4_Files.zip

2.) Boot into download updates screen by pressing and holding Home Button, Volume Down Button, and Power Button at same time until you boot into downloading updates screen.

3.) Plug in your phone to your pc

4.) Open Odin 3.0.4 make sure Auto Reboot and F . Reset Time are checked

5.) Click the PDA button at the right, select boot-stock-tmobile-sgh-t999

7.) Click the START button.

8.) Repeat Steps 2-4

9.) Click the PDA button at the right, select root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5

10.) Click the START button and you should see it install things you never saw before like BOOT, SYSTEM, MODEM, etc. (not in that order) at the top left where it shows installation progress (that little green rectangle)
[HTC Rezound] EricGTP:
Whats up guys I am coming from having 3 bionics and 1 razr all having problems, bionic 1 and 3 had a flashing screen issues and bionic 2 had a digitizer issue and razr 1 had a problem with the usb port on the phone. question, Am I making a mistake going to the rezound. I was sent the rezound on accident and told them that I would rather keep the rezound and would lose warranty on the phone but would obviously still have the warranty through the insurance.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
It's (IMO) better than either of those phones, but it's outdated by flagship standards. Best screen from last year's flagships by far.
[HTC Rezound] cloakzore:
I'd keep the Rezound. It has better specs than the other phones and some of the developers on this phone are making real progress with Jelly Bean and AOSP development. With Motorola's locked bootloaders we will probably have a better update path going forward. Not sure how into flashing ROMs and stuff like that you are, though. Aside from those things, it's going to be personal preference of Sense versus MotoBLUR.
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
If you can get past the odd method of getting S-OFF root, then it's actually quite a good phone.
[HTC Rezound] liqwidzero:
Having messed with both, I can easily say that the Rezound is the better phone. Though, this is merely my opinion.

I hated Sense at first, but then it grew on me (even moreso with Sense 4 ROMs). Motorola has gotten much better with their skins.

Hardware wise, the Bionic and Razr do not match the Rezound. The Rezound features a far better screen, removable battery (granted, so does the Bionic), and a much better camera and etc.

Motorola has really stepped up their game with updates, and I like that. And the build quality is very nice.

It comes down to preference, really.

Sent from my awesome HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
You aren't making a mistake. It's an awesome phone. Of course, this is conjecture on my part, but the quality of this device is still rarely matched by newer high-end phones.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Although, you don't really have to go s-off. It does make flashing easier.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I think you're making a great decision. There's a bit of a learning curve but it's not rezound specific, just a sign of the times as procedures are evolving for new HTC devices as well as other brands.

If you have any questions or find a guide that seems confusing send me a PM. I'll give you my google talk.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ilyuha1108:
Hey! Im using stock and I want to use AOSP style apps like settings, sms and other? Is there any package for stock? Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lesiki:
That's why we have ROMs like Cyanogen or AOKP ;)

You can change the statusbar and the launcher and Lockscreen, but without a CustomROM that's all.

PS: Oh, or download a Dialer from Market. ExDialer and ICS-Theme are good.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyclica:
Hello everyone,

I have a T999 from T-mobile and I wanted to use 'morelocale 2' to change the display language to Chinese. When I try to use this app it would only display partial content in Chinese (menus and apps aren't displayed in the selected language). My friend has a Canadian i747M from Rogers and the app works flawlessly on his phone (all menu, app names and etc displayed in the correct language). We're both fully stock and on 4.0.4. I am from Canada and did not buy directly from T-Mobile. I bought it brand new from a retailer here.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Is the problem T-Mobile's rom? Can anyone with a phone in the same state as mine try the app and see if the results are the same? Thanks in advance.

Also another question... maybe this would also solve the problem. Can I flash the Mobilicity rom to the T-Mobile phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyclica:
No one can help or know what the problem can be?
[Windows Phone 8 General] wrexus:
Can anyone with HTC 8X or Nokia 822 confirm what happens when you turn on internet sharing with an unlimited data plan? Does it prompt you to call Verizon to activate a tethering plan? Or does it just work?
[Windows Phone 8 General] a lawless a:
Its tells me to call Verizon and subscribe....nokia 822... I have rooted galaxy nexus I use for tethering
[Windows Phone 8 General] vetvito:
Carries suck.

This kind of stuff irks me. Why do they charge you more to use the exact same data?
[Windows Phone 8 General] MKairys:
I have a brand-new 8X. when I turn on IS, it says "connection not shared - Internet sharing isn't currently allowed." However I am not on the new all-share unlimited plan until the 20th, so maybe that's why.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Quest1onz:
I have a VZ unlimited data plan and after changing some settings, it just works.. before you get the agreement page to add it to your plan, but after going into edit mode: M.I.P. profile > DUN NM the info has your number @dun.vzw... just take out the dun and save.. but I have an HTC trophy... so may not be the same..
[Windows Phone 8 General] devlspawn:
Is there any way to create an App that does this? Verizon recently lost a suit from the FCC that forced them to allow tethering apps from the android market for android phones. FoxFi and others now allow tethering no matter what plan you have.

If the access exists within WP8 it would be sweet to do the same thing, even if it has to be developer unlocked.
[Windows Phone 8 General] eth3rton:
I was just coming here to find out if this was possible. I currently have a 32gb SIII and am getting ready to trade it for a 8X but need this to work. I am not willing to give up my unlimited plan though...
[Windows Phone 8 General] HTC_FUZE:
can we sue ATT, Verizon for tethering lock?
[Windows Phone 8 General] devlspawn:
No we can't sue them about the lock. The reason they were able to go after them was because they blocked an app from the marketplace from working on their network.

That violated the agreement they signed with the FCC when they acquired the 700MHZ block which says “shall not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and application of their choice.”

So only Verizon is beholden to this and it would only apply to them blocking devices or apps. You might notice that devices part is pretty interesting :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] computerfields:
I have the HTC 8x and would love to get Internet Sharing working. Where is the "agreement page"?

Yes you can do that, please search the forums there are many post on this.

There have been some issues users face after upgrading to beware and hope you take a nandroid backup before flashing JB rom because if you want to reflash your stock ICS rom you will need to do factory reset

Hello,

when you open the file with Notepad + + status_bar: it is only code that opens, is this normal? and when it is replaced by the text that you have given, it is normal letters.

how to recompile the apk? thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] TopDroid:
For normal text to appear, you will have to decompile the apk and not just extract it.

For decompiling and recompiling, you can get many great guides on internet and XDA!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] GuestK0094:
I'm not very good at hacking the file. I tested several software for decompiling and recompiling, but none work, there is always a mistake.

Anyway I'm going to get along ^ ^.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] GuestK0094:
It does not work for me on Alpha 4, even after doing all the letter regarding the steps to make it compatible A4.

Thank you to myself for helping me! But especially to Darktitor;)

Topdroid, I asked you to help me but you sent for me to do it myself. I do not thank you for it. We can not all be good at it.

Finally, if you have the solution, why do not you remake apk supports A4? like this, with less hassle manip for all people who are in my same situation.

Excuse me if I get carried away a little

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hereticnine:
Hi All,

I'm new to this forum.

Currently I'm using my SGS II with ICS Stock (4.0.4) upgraded through Samsung Kies (hope it clears that I've stock ROM).

My Baseband version : I9100DDLPB

Kernel Version : 3.0.15-1056084 dpi@DELL168 #3 SMP PREEMPT

Build Number : IMM76D.XWLPW

I've recently rooted my phone to flash the custom ROM.

But today i checked some posts from this forum that, flashing a SGS II running on Stock 4.0.4 may brick the handset here.

I read the complete post and got very much disappointed :( that I couldn't flash any custom ROM from my Stock ROM, but lastly I looked over the firmwares which have these emmc bug and found that my device is not in the list. :p

So with this information can anybody tell me whether I can go for flash the custom ROM ? or do I need to flash a new Kernel ? :angel:

Thanks,

Hereticnine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
If it's not listed as an 'insane chip' (affected by the emmc bug then it should be safe to wipe. But if you're gonna be flashing a custom ROM eventually,you may as well flash a custom kernel now itself. Just to be completely safe, ya know?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquadat0r:
install eMMC Check from Play Store, and see whether you have a faulty chip
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hereticnine:
My Bad !!!!

Just now checked with an app available on Google Play, eMMC Brickbug Check and got the result as "Insane Chip".

Also tried with Got Brick bug found in this forum. It also said the same like DANGER !!! :crying: :crying:

So I think, customization is over for me !!!! I should stay out from flashing ROMs. :cowboy:

And HAXTREME, Thanks for the reply.

Thanks,

Hereticnine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamien:
Flash a safe kernel which has MMC_CAP_DISABLED (e.g. siyah kernel) on your rom with odin. You will get yellow triangle but you can remove it later with triangle away if you want to

From that point on you can flash any custom rom you want or or do a wipe from cwm...

Key is making sure you're running a safe kernel all the time, then you should have no problems, as long as you flash roms which are compatible with I9100 international version
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hereticnine:
So, there wouldn't be any problem if I flash with siyah kernel, Am I correct ? Or should I wait for some update from Samsung on fixing this bug.

Thanks,

Hereticnine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamien:
Correct.

I would not wait for Samsung fixing anything in regards of this matter. The community has brought this huge issue to their attention long time ago and nontheless they released / keep releasing (?) dangerous updates to their customers!

Elite Recognized Developer "Entropy512" has written a very interesting (and long!) story of his experiences with Samsung:

No problems flashing siyah because emmc bug is disabled.

AS to an update from Samsung I do not believe there will be one as they are releasing Jellybean by the endof the year,

Hope it suffices for flashing.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andiprbwo:
Well, about the brick bug, I just know there's a app to detect the chip and unfortunately my phone has the insane chip. but if I'm not mistaken I've been wiped my phone several times with 4.0.4 stock kernel before yet it's still safe till now, it's the checker or I'm just being lucky? :confused: but nevermind there's leaked 4.1.2 now haha..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
AFAIK the brick bug is non-deterministic. So you could wipe data several times without a problem n suddenly one time you try it n your phone is a rather expensive paperweight. If your phone indeed has an 'insane chip' count yourself lucky and don't risk it too often. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andiprbwo:
well, yeah after I read some thread about it I won't ever do that stupid things again:eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -iNCEPTiON-:

Hi kilometers4,

Thanks for the information, can you please share me the link, where can I get this kernel latest version for S2 ?

Thanks,

Hereticnine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hereticnine:
Yipee !!

Today I flashed PhilZ Kernel & later tried Dorimanx Kernel too.

I like the Dorimanx kernel, it has several options.

BTW, how can I check / ensure that I'm free from Brickbug now ??

Regards,

Hereticnine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
you will never be totally free of the brick bug, since it is embedded in the kernal. Developers of Philz, Dorimanx and others have edit the code that cause the brick bug to disable it.

When flashing avoid using any stock kernal from 4.0.4 and above to avoid the embedded brick bug software.
[HTC One X+] Toshimitsu:
Do other hox+ owners also have overheating issues?

Before i bought the hox+ i read many articles about the older one x and the fix for overheating.

I bought the device after it came out and thought that htc cannot make the same mistake again.

Well the device is really awesome thats a fact. But honestly, the non-eco mode is pretty useless as the hox drains the battery

so damn fast. I tried to play Wild Blood in eco mode and it was pretty choppy. Turning off the eco mode just made the game run a few fps faster

and made it as hot as my heater in the night time.

Do you guys also experienced this issue? I'm not sure if 49 - 51 degrees are counted as "too hot" but the device is blinking red and green and

it doesn't feel comfortable to hold the device for too long. I don't even want to mention the gameplay while charging. after around 10 minutes i lost about 10% WHILE CHARGING.

So far i just saw the battery stats thread there but no one really mentioned the temperature while gaming. Would be nice if you guys could share your gaming experience in this thread.:)

Cheers

Toshi
