hello , i have sgs3.

few weaks ago it stoped working,

it shut down and when i tried to turn it on it was stuck on the SAMSUNG logo.

and its not charging the battery.

couldnt get into recovery mode, and when i got into download mode it shows

i had an original 4.04 samung israel rom, and never tried to change it or customizig it.

when i tried to get service from samsung israel , they saw the download mode and said that i tried to custom my rom and wrecked the phone.

and i DID'NT.

im trying to find out why do they think that, why is that line

"system status - custom" showed up?

i didnt try to custom.. can it be becouse of a physically problem in the phone?

please help me.

thank u, Amir

Your phone goes into download mode, try to flash a stock rom for your region.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Have you. Rooted. Or recieved a recent OTA update .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirharony:
i didnt root

had OTA a week before it happened.

and now i cant flash a new rom , they say the motherboard is damaged
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirharony:
can that OTA change that line to "custom"?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmrenegade7:
Not really ota updates are official firmware so it should leave that as Samsung official the only way you'll get that to be custom is by rooting and flashing custom firmware.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Their have been some posts where users say OTA has changed it to custom .

I would argue this point with Samsung .

Or try flash stock firmware reboot and factory reset and see if it clears custom .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
I doubt it; a stock (company based) build of Android has no customization in it, and the OTA updates install via recovery, therefore they "sneak past" the download mode. I mean (Please correct me, if I'm wrong, I've never [ever] done an OTA update on a Samsung Android device, so there's my XP gone.) but if you install software via CWM, it normally won't show up, in download mode, because they are two different parts of the system, and it basically thinks, that only original software gets installed via recovery (because obviously, not everyone on the world, knows what is possible with any computer.

So much from me :)

Hope I could help!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSpeced:
Try (Obv try this at your own risk, tho Odin is relatively safe)

Odin to flash a stock rom,

wipe everything (data,cache,dalvik).

Flash Siyah kernel,

use triangle away,

flash stock rom (to get rid of Siyah).

This should reset the counter to 0 and set everything to "Official".

I say to flash Siyah first because TA doesn't work all the time on the official kernels.

Next time, leave OTAs alone, just flash it in Odin when a new FW pops up on Sammobile :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirharony:
there is no option to flash a new rom .

few days ago i went to a lab and they said i need to change the motherboard..

it is too expensive so i didnt do it.

today i went to a different lab, they said (as i suspected from the beginning) that the flash memory is not working

and thats why in the 1st line there is no device name (should be i9300 )

and this is why the word custom is written in the last line..

my problem was that samsung israel declined my warrenty becouse they thought i flashed a rom , but i didnt.

so hopefully i can prove them that i didnt do it.

i'll see what happen tommorow when i get back my phone from the lab
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogremage:
My Samsung Galaxy S3 just arrived from Vodafone, and it has both Samsung and Vodafone bloatware that I don't need. Ideally I'd make it look like my wife's Nexus 7 which has vanilla Jelly Bean from Google.

However, despite the fact I had an S2 before which I unbranded using Odin about 2 years ago, I'm now having trouble with information overload.

The stuff I have on it right now is:

Model number: GT-I9300

Android version: 4.1.1

Baseband version / CP: I9300BUDLI2

Build number: JRO03C.I9300XXDLIH

Kernel version: 3.0.31-256827

AP: I9300XXDLIH

CSC: I9300VFGDLJ1

Do I understand correctly a good start would be to apply this firmware:

GT-I9300 - United Kingdom

PDA: I9300XXDLJ4

CSC: I9300OXADLJ4

Version: 4.1.1

Date: 2012-10-23

.. which would rid me of the Vodafone bloatware (cannot link to it, but I found it as the latest BTU from UK on sammobile)?

And next, further step could be to root it (using a custom kernel?) and then apply a custom ROM, but I have no idea how to pick the right one for me from the many that are here.

I'm just looking for a vanilla Google experience and minimal risk of bricking the device :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
Yes just download from sammobile the ROM which you want and flash it with Odin. (Yes I9300XXDLJ4 is the latest official ROM)

Don't forget first to do factory reset, clear cache and clear dalvik cache. (you have tutorials here how to do ) << This you will do Before and After flashing your ROM and you will have it unbranded.

As for custom kernel/rooting, i see that SiyahKernel is popular, and you can flash it after.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmrenegade7:
If you want it to look like you wife's nexus then you wanna root it and install an aosp or aokp based rom. Or if you don't want to root/flash it then you could use holo launched HD and holo locker which will make your phone look like vanilla android. They are both free on the market and come with paid versions.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogremage:
OK, I did rooting using CF-Auto-Root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957273

And I installed the latest Samsung firmware:

Android version 4.1.1

Baseband version I9300XXDLID

Build number JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ4

Regarding the custom ROMs I realized I am using the Samsung app "Mini Diary" quite a bit. If I install custom ROM I think I will lose this app.

Can it be reinstalled manually somehow?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 23Six:
You can't give it the UI of vanilla JB by flashing a custom ROM. I recommend Cyanogenmod 10. You need to be ripped

Hi,

I was previously on Bruce pyramid it was working fine den I flashed vipers rom complete wipe n very next day full wipe and back to the sensation xe rom

I m having random reboots

When I turn on the screen

Back light buttons turns on anv display stays off and no response from screen and it just restart

:( any advice?

What can b the cause?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Several things can cause the random reboots. First are you over or under volted? If yes adjust CPU. Second check battery in casing and see if it has any wiggle at all. If yes wedge a small piece of paper on top of the battery to secure the battery. Third try to reinstall rom doing a full wipe, could be a bad flash. If it's still rebooting try another rom to experiment to see if issue lies in the rom it's self. If the issue is gone with another rom then you know the issue is rom related. If the issue is still present with new rom chances are it's device related. Possibly loose battery. Give those things a try to trouble shoot and see if any of this helps. Best wishes. Hopefully one of these options will solve the issue.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
It might be a too low 'off screen Max cpu' settings, and also too 'extreme' LMK settings.

Better if you post complete configuration.
[HTC Sensation] anasmunir:
Agree with Raven. Sounds like too low screen off frequency.. Check the value of Screen off frequency.

And are you using the latest firmware?

One more thing to check if you are still on ViperS, have you granted Super user permissions to Venom Tweaks?

i have a question about the Razr i.

I've installed Cool Tool and the Processor is Clocking at min. 600Mhz, even at Sleep, so i was thinking about the possibility of clocking it down when Sleeping, it would add some Battery life.

Does not compute. If it's real 3500 mAh then it would last far longer then a day.... BS battery there IMO, and if it's "slim" then it's fake too. For EUR 25,00, you can get original 2000 mAh with original cover and it lasts more then yours (1 and a half days for me) - oh yeah, wifi and data always on too...

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBmfG:
I would like the easiest in car audio possible while charging. I have a couple of questions related to the audio output of the razr hd:

1. Would a y cable work with this phone? Im thinking something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Charger...ader_Chargers_Sync_Cables&hash=item53f0a73387

1a. If so is the audio out a line-out or would it be the same as the headphone audio?

2. Is the bluetooth audio out a line-out signal or is it compressed like the headphone audio?

3. Any ever try something like this? http://gromaudio.com/store/usb_adapters/vw_seat_skoda_usb_ipod_adapter_direct_digital_interface.html I only have mtp mode on via usb now so I dont know if this would work as a direct connection.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdwardN:
I'd probably recommend the motorola cable such as this: http://www.motorola.com/us/consumer...icle-Docks/m-Custom-Audio-Cable,en_US,pd.html

Keep in mind that any motorola car docks will have the separation build into the dock, so it'll have a microusb port for charging and a headphone jack for connection to a car stereo. That way you can keep the dock connected and not worry about plugging in cables. As for signal type through the usb, I really have no idea. Maybe someone else can answer that.

Edit: According to this post: http://forums.androidcentral.com/bionic-accessories/118004-bionic-car-mount-y-cable.html#post1318683 there's no volume control on the usb line out, which leads me to believe it's a line level output and not amplified like the headphone jack.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmwitz:
Fm Transmitter

I had great success with a FM transmitter powered by a cigarette charge. It also had a an extra mini usb cable to charge the phone. The FM transmitter is connected to the 3.5 mm jack. I streamed music with Spotify and used Google Maps for navigation. I did not try to connect the phone for calls with bluetooth!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBmfG:
Thanks for that. I guess in the end it doesnt really matter as if its not a line-out there isnt anything i can do about it. The only thing i wonder now is if there are any direct usb connections that that will allow me to control the music from my in dash cd player. Thatd be the tits.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbphillips:
Geez, I read the sticky in General and still ended up putting a question there. Sheesh. Apologies.

So, I have an original i987 ATT GTab 7 that I somehow got to GB a year or so ago, but it doesn't save settings consistently, loses my xfinity and yahoo mail account info, doesn't run half the apps I had under Froyo, and has some residual Skype config stuff from install on Froyo that won't let me install or run Skype anymore. Also, the wifi stack has always been sketchy. I also unlocked the Tab and managed to run it on another provider in China. I tried to root recently with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and it pops up a window "SuperOneClick has stopped working..." I know how to set to USB debug and used Sideloader until ATT finally opened up the markets. I tried reloading the drivers and still get an exclamation mark.

The question is: does anyone do upgrades for a fee?

What I'm looking for is to enable the dialer, get the best wifi stability, have 3g data, the newest stable OS, have my apps run and be able to use it on ATT and Straight Talk (got the SIM already) for data, voice, and messaging.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
I can recommended overcome method (see my signature for links)

With at&t stock modem and correct APN, you can go all the way to jellybeans if you want, and gel 3g and dialer.

The actual dialing though, is a problem. At&t knows you are a tablet, from their list of IMEI, and you likely can't dial on tablet plan.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbphillips:
So, will the Overcome 7 wipe give me a functional dialer (assuming the provider allows a call), or do I need to load the wifi fix or stock theme version? And what do those do differently from the wipe version?

Thanks,

Dan
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
No need those.

wifi fix is for those who has issue of wifi disconnecting.

stock theme version is for those who want it to look like Samsung stock.

Yes, if the provider allows making call, it will work fine.

I guess I didn't read your initial problem properly.

But tab not saving settings properly or can't get rid of old info, is a sign of internal nand chip going bad...

If that is so, you will have more problem ahead of you.

Hope it isn't the case.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbphillips:
Oh, great. Well, it's all done now, apparently successfully, just need to go to Straight Talk.

So, this NAND chip. Any chance reflowing the board will fix it, or is it the chip itself? guess I could change the chip, unless it is a BGA.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
It is just the chip,

there are two threads in the general forum I think that deals with damaged internal sd and how to use external only.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877585

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1463756

Apparently it is glued on!

No talk about replacement so far. It is a Sandisk chip.

It will be great if you know how to get the replacement, I am sure many here are now running without one after removing it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbphillips:
Well, at least on mine, the Overcome seems to have fixed the issue there, in addition to running much that so far. So, is this the latest? You have really gotten behind Overcome, but what about Cyanogen or others? Seems Overcome is based on Gingerbread, or is it ICS? Just need to get Straight Talk going and see if I can dial.

Is there a donation fund for Overcome?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
It is GB based.

teamovercome website is down for so long, I wonder if they are still around as a group.

You can easily move on to ICS and JB of CM/AOKP

Just download the ROM and the correct gapps for it

and put in SD card

and boot to CWM recovery and flash it.

Watch the message on the screen.

Too many people saying it is bootlooping while actually each flash produce a different message as it progress with the process.
