Hey everyone,

I just got the Galaxy S3 from Telus today, and I wanted to get Jellybean up and running as quick as possible. I rooted using mskip's toolkit, but in my haste I used Rom Manager to download a custom recovery meant for the Metro PCS Galaxy S3 and I think a rom (cm10) also meant for the Metro PCS Galaxy S3. Whenever I boot, the network shows up as Metro PCS when it should be Telus. When I use the Canada version of this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831898 , the phone boots up, says activating, but never finishes. If I exit out of it, nothing works. Can someone please help me?

Thanks so much, and any help is appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] c_86:
Start from scratch. Load a telus ROM via Odin. Root. Then continue on.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mohitrocks:
Alright, that's what I'll do.

Thanks so much!
[HTC EVO 3D] ian577416:
A friend of mine has an EVo V4G. He recently did the wire trick and while trying to flash the eng hboot to his device it just turned off. his hboot is 1.57.5757 he had TWRP installed and though roms would flash fine each time he would boot loop. It doesn't respond to any button combo nor does a charge light come on while plugged in. Any help would be greatly appreciated as he lives a Looong way from me and I can't exactly drive there. Troubleshooting via Google talk sucks plus I'm running out of answers
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
It's really hard to tell with that much information, especially since he can't turn the phone on to get more data, but if his bootloader flash got interrupted somehow he might have bricked the phone. This thread is specifically about how to "unbrick" after that happens and he should probably read at least the OP to see if that fits his situation.

One thing he can try that has worked for some is to charge it on the A/C adapter overnight and see if he can start the bootloader in the morning after removing/replacing the battery.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] ian577416:
That's essentially what I told him to do. The only issue is that the op states it is only for s-on devices. He had successfully flashed juniperbear s-off. That's what worries me. However thanks man! Mind if I follow up with you tomorrow?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Just post here. Other people might have ideas as well depending on what he finds after he's charged it for a while.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaviivalo:
Have flashed many different ROMs but result is always the same: either no battery info at all (even no presentage) or "status unknown" and will not charge and stays on fixed battery presentage. With wall charger it shows just big exclamation mark on screen. Bought new battery, result is the same.

Tried already different battery fixes around forum, no luck so far - nothing seems to help.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Green lens 525 DEFY with Froyo kernel. It came probably with SBF 2.51 (Eclair) but due the mixup I updated to SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) / Yes, I know bad move.

I would downgrade it if that would be possible to get it charging again but to my understanding there is no downgrade from Froyo to Eclair.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Try 2ndboot cm10 or cm9, or you can try the new quarx battd from the jb thread

Or you can try these fixes

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34590229
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaviivalo:
Thanks, will attempt quarx battd next.

Those fixes you helpfully pointed out is path already taken and they did really nothing.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaviivalo:
Tried so many ROMS and fixes without any success, some roms will not boot and some just show question mark. White rabbit/crazy Rabbit rom is closest what i ge tto success as this is only rom wich shows if phone is plugged in or not, but still "status unknown" and not charging.

Flashed back to original Motorola retail (2.2.2), result is same - battery status is unknown.

When plugging USB charger in its says: "Invalid battery. Your battery is invalid and can not be charged. Replace the battery with with an original Motorola battery." It happens with two different batterys the same way.

Searched over internet and seems that the very same problem is related also to different Motorola phones. It could be related to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2.

Is there any way to go back to Eclair (2.1)?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
If stock indicates battery issue, it's most likely a battery issue, not software. And you can't go back to éclair
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaviivalo:
I would otherwise agree with statement above but I bought new battery to test this very theory and result was exactly the same. So it has probably still something to do with kernel and SBF and how older kernel accesses data frob battery but can not figure out. Have searched over internet and seems that the very same issue plagues many Motorola phones and very often its firmware upgrade related.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Strange indeed... the reason I said that its hardware cuz you have tested it on 2ndboot ROMs and its not working... 2ndboot ROMs are kernel independent and don't have such issues by and large... :confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaviivalo:
Funny thing is that 2ndboot itself has on top battery status and did actually know battery level and that it is currnety charging.

As soon as I boot up Android itself does not recognize it the same goes to swiched off phone. And with Crazy Rabbit ROM it even does understand that phone is plugged in
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Sorry, but I could not get what you said happens on 2ndboot. Does it charge?Or unknown like others:confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaviivalo:
I'm currently on Salad Bar ROM (4.1.2), it shows battery level on 2ndboot and if USB is plugged in or not.

After booted up still "unknown" (in settings > About phone > Status). Icon on top bar shows if power source is plugged in or not. Battery level rmains 1% and when unplugged icon will turn question mark.

I can boot phone to Android with my completely empty (0%) backup battery to though 2ndboot. Not sure if its show anything or not.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3n H1mur4:
Possibly some hardware issue between the battery and the phone's mobo. I'd pay a visit to a service center (Motorola or not, doesn't matter if your phone is not under wrranty anymore) to get this checked.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tomaat:
Hello everyone,

my phone has an bootloop after i removed some stock apps, i didnt think removing some stock apps could cause this...

the phone boots, and the screen handles the brightness and when i press the home button 2 secs it vibrates, but it doesnt show android itself, just he LG boot logo

can i fix this without flashing KDZ or Hard reset ?

cant get ADB, doesnt work

KDZ_FW_UPD.exe doesnt work for me (windows 8)

i will install an virtual PC and have the usb linked to that, will install windows XP on it.. see if it works

my parents may also not find out...

please help me

Regards, Tomaat

//edit

removed these apps (and probably some more)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
First try to turn off the phone, with the phone OFF, press "Vol-" + "Power button" until turn ON.

You should be in Android Recovery Menu, select "wipe data/ factory reset" and press "Power button", next screen go untill the middle and select "yes" and press "Power button". After that just reboot.

If everything went good should be enough, otherwise you need to re-flash.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Feregorn:
The OP probably was asking for a way to regain control of his phone without the need to lose any personal data, as the factory reset will surely do. Unfortunately you are right, that is the last step before having to manually re-flash the original firmware and it's the only solution available to him now.

But a bit of advice, in case something similar happens again in the future. Just like with computers it's always advised to take a backup of your important files before tampering/tinkering with the software. And there are many ways right now to do this. We have CWM recovery (thanks to Dexter) which can be used for backup purpose, on the Play Store, there are also apps like Titanium Backup and the new Titanium Media Sync that can accomodate easily and simply all your backup needs. Although the present situation is a bitter pill to shallow, it will come to pass fortunately, so keep in mind the above tips to save yourself from grief and anguish in the future.:fingers-crossed: Best regards
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tomaat:
well, im really lucky, yesterday i wanted to use deodex & remove stock apps script, and i made an backup in CWM first, as i havent removed it, and i went to bed, and in bed i started removing some stock apps, if i reflash the phone (hard reset wont work) will the internet storage be removed ? if it doesnt i can just restore the backup right?, then i will backup all the games and other data, and reflash 10G (maybe) or just 10f, as i have deodexed it at backup
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Feregorn:
If your backup was on the external sdcard, as its always suggested, I dont think it will be deleted, but for the sake of certainty remove the memory card prior to trying anything. If the backup is on the internal sdcard, then it will be deleted (I speak from personal experince since my phone also entered a bootloop and the only solution was to re-flash the official firmware) - quick and painless if you the guide correctly.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tomaat:
Yep, i had to reflash to fix, its working again, but the backup was removed :( i will get google drive and make a backup every week or so, and put it on google drive, does the stock backup backup everything ? or do i need to do a cwm backup?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Feregorn:
If you want to backup a system image, then only CWM can help you. If you want to backup certain files/apps/settings there are a number of ways and programs to help you with that: LG's own backup offering, Titanium Media Sync, App Backup Pro, etc...
[HTC Droid DNA] paulguy:
Well, I was screwing around and TWRP crashed while I was copying files to /system so needless to say it doesn't boot, however I can get in to the bootloader and recovery, so I was hoping if someone could maybe dd their (preferrably stock but rooted/busybox/etc should be fine as long as there weren't any more extensive mods done.) /system partition at /dev/block/mmcblk0p32 to their SD storage and upload it, so I can dd a working /system in myself from adb shell. Not sure if that'll work but it's worth a try.

The command should be something along the lines of:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p32 of=/sdcard/system.img

You'll need about 2GB of storage, but it should 7zip down to a few 100MB.

This is a read-only operation. There should be no danger to your phone (however a crash might corrupt your SD storage so maybe do a backup of that if you want to be safe.).

Help would be appreciated.

Also, do this from recovery with the filesystem NOT mounted after a clean shut down.
[HTC Droid DNA] Argumentation:
You can also run ADB sideload in TWRP and push the zip over and have it flash, that's what I had to do. :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] paulguy:
I got it working. I don't trust TWRP. It seems to fail on simple things for me or something just locking up completely, so I just followed the updater-script in the FactoryROM installer zip and did it by hand through ADB and all is well now. Phone boots and I even get the recent button to be a menu button.

It would be nice if there was a clean, unmodded /system dump somewhere, though. The RUU is pretty useless for people on mac/linux.

Hi everyone!

I'm having some issues with the tutorial to install cyanogen mod 10 on the s3 from videotron sgh-t999v... I've tried to flash it with many different recovery mode, even tried any carrier (tmo, att, vrz, spr) every single one of them gave me the error about Status 7... The only way i've been able to install CM10 was through clockworkmod rom manager apps that prompt me the "MetroPCS" version but google play wasn't working and my phone woke me up at 6am instead of 11 due to a mismatch of carrier time... Anyone can help me find the right version to use and help me install it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrlooly:
I am currently running the CM10 Jelly Bean stock kernel Rom CDMA

It runs great. Only issue is the screen rotation animation.

Anyway, does anyone know how to update Cyanodmod roms? When I go to OTA update....it says "error fetching update info: invalid rom (stock jb-cm-spyder) and device (cdma_spyder) combo.

Anybody have any ideas.

I know I can do manually. but dont know the steps..if someone can point me in the right direction.

Go read the thread where the developer is supporting their ROM. Presumably where you downloaded it in the first place. Some ROMs support ota update. Some don't.

what updates? lol.

first of all, you didn't specified - CDMA or GSM. Second of all, there are no UPDATES. You find the rom in the Development thread. if a new version is out you flash the whole rom again - That's not an update, that's a new rom, with new stuff in it.

Can Suggest ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Thailandian:
It's obviously a matter of opinion. So far, I've tried (apart from stock) the official CM7.2 and TheWhisp's unofficial CM9.

I'm still on CM9 right now, but I must admit, there are a couple of things I'm missing from CM7.2. For example, 7.2 had a call blocker, which I used to screen out junk sms's. Also, the video camera doesn't work on CM9.

The main reason I haven't gone back is that I like to keep my phone in landscape, and that's very easy in CM9. I tried to do that previously with apps but they were never reliable, and kept popping back to portrait unexpectedly. Probably more importantly for most people - I get much better battery life with CM9.

I'd really recommend experimenting a bit. Once you get comfortable flashing and doing nandroid backups with CWM, it's really not a big deal trying on a new rom for size.

Just whatever you do: DON'T USE ROM MANAGER ... AT ALL!!!

A Samsung device bound for the Korean market showed its papers to the FCC, called the "Samsung Galaxy Grand". It is not a flagship device based on the display Specs, yet the display does happen to measure 5-inches. On the Galaxy Grand, we are seeing an LCD display that is only 480x800 resolution compared to the 1080p that we might get with the Galaxy S IV.

Galaxy Grand Specifications :

•Exynos 4412 Quad-Core 1.4Ghz

•WVGA 5-inch LCD(800x480) display

•Android 4.1.1 Jelly bean

•Supports NFC

•Wifi 802.11 a/b/g/n

•2100mAh battery

•LTE Supported

•Appearance similar to Galaxy S III

I've got a rage comic animation I wanted to make, but I'm not too into the part of making it. It's simply the troll guy who dances around and at the end does a big smile. I have two folders. One of which he should dance (repeated) and the other where he jumps and turns around and gives a smile. Perhaps an android logo could be added at the end part where he does that. Either way, I think a lot of people would like it. If anyone wants the files let me know. Otherwise, I guess it was worth a shot!;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bogbat:
Recently I have been getting an extremely unreliable 4g connection and my 3g connection isn't much better. I called Sprint several times but they offered me no resolution except to "feel free to roam until we fix the towers in your area". So I turned off 4g and set my phone to automatically allow roaming. This month I had to download nearly 80 GB of images off of a cloud service because my subscription was about to expire. Right now my only internet connection is through my phone, so I tethered it to my PC in order to download the files.

It turns out I was roaming the entire time and I have roamed around 97.4 GB in my most recent billing cycle. Do you think they are going to terminate my contract? Or do you think I will get off with a warning?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AirBruce:

If you were in Europe your carrier would charge you a mere $237,000 dollars for that!

I say this because extreme roaming data usage will grab attention and they will sort through IP's, just letting you know that as it just happened to my cousin. He hit 78G in data roaming and they found out he was using his phone for PC gaming while on vacation. And yep he is paying for it right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yuengking:
How is that even possible? I've been told if over half of your usage is roaming you will be disconnected. Even though Sprint claims roaming is unlimited.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
it's in terms and conditions of the contact. They hold the right for excessive roaming.

And if they determine that you're tethering without paying, they'll claim fraud.

They could charge you for tethering plus all the data you used.

Doubt it. The Sprint website says you have unlimited roaming 3g so the amount roaming should be irrelevant. Don't admit to tethering.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
You don't get what I am saying... If you do not pay for tethering, and your use this much data, they could charge you for the data used.

I don't see how you think it is okay to use that amount of data tethering to another device when you do not pay for tethering on your account.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Oh no they'll cancel you contract when you don't pay that big bill. But yes you will have to pay for services rendered which is tethering and data used beyond the 5gigs given for tethering.

But like I said earlier carriers are not stupid and they will come after you and they know places lime this and could link your statement here as proof bit they really won't need that once they drop the IP bomb that will tell them what devices where used via your phone. Trust me they can tell but no system.is bullet proof so they cannot block it as some apps pull info via desktop browsers calls and a blanket block would kill those. So they just tag all the over the top users, especially when roaming is envolved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
No, the worst that can happen is sprint gets fed up with this crazy roaming/tethering and nix the unlimited altogether, or start imposing restrictions of some sort. that's a rediculous amount of data...
