[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Doldrey:
Sprint SGS3 boots to black screen with blue led light

Hello,

Would this suggestion also happen to fix this problem?

I mistakenly followed the instructions of a video on youtube on how to root a Samsung GSIII and accidentally soft bricked my phone. The problem was (as the creator of the video says) that the video was outdated and I ended up flashing the 4.0.4 boot image on a 4.1.1 Samsung GSIII. So far my phone boots up with the Samsung logo, but falls short at a black screen with a pulsing blue led light. When I plug the phone to the computer, It get recognized just the same way as it would if it had booted up fully. I searched most forum posts but haven't come up to a solid solution. I might need to search some more, but can u confirm if your suggestion is likely to fix my problem.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Parnelli98:
qbking77 also has a video that walks you through the steps to recover from a "soft brick". It involves using Odin and a stock JB .tar file. I haven't looked at the video in a while, so I do not know if the link to the stock file is current. qbking77's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypmqJbZqOaU&list=PL7011CD883D5201B8&index=29

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klisman:
Hello all,

I have put the S-OFF and the Hboot 6.93.1002 using the revolutionary.io tool.

Right now, I want to put my phone with the stock hbook and S-ON.

I looked for it and I saw a lot of people saying to install old RUUs.

I tried these ones:

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe

RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe

And all of them failed, they do not restore hboot.

Could you help me? My phone is GSM version.

Anyone have different timestamp when they send MMS but just before it or after you send a SMS, you get your original timestamp? Send and receive are different from SMS and MMS.. Just using stock 4.2.1 but rooted.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew879:
I'm experiencing a similar issue with my Droid DNA. In the stock Messages app, when I look at my list of recent text threads, the place where it's supposed to show the time for the most recently sent/received text always shows the time for the most recently sent/received MMS message, even if there were subsequent SMS messages. It's really annoying, and the only way I've found to fix it is to delete MMS messages, which isn't ideal.

Did you find any solution for this, short of using another messaging app?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lathamc:
I currently have the Galaxy S III on Sprint that I got the day it was released. However, I am switching to AT&T next week, and I don't know if I want to get the AT&T Galaxy S III or the Galaxy Note II. I love my Galaxy S III, with my one wish being that it had a quad-core processor. With the Note II, I love everything, except it seems like it might be too big. However, I have big hands, and I don't use my Galaxy S III one handed anyways. I also do a lot of texting/emailing.

What do you think? Is the Galaxy Note II worth the extra $100 or so? Does it run really fast, smooth, and speedy compared to the Galaxy S III? Also, can you use third-party keyboards using the one-handed setting like you can with the stock keyboard?

Also, is it likely that both AT&T and Samsung will keep updating the Galaxy Note II over the course of the next 18 months?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtl171:
It depends. For me, the determining factor actually wasn't speed or screen size but rather usability. IMHO the GS3 felt just as fast with a little OC'ing plus it fit in my pocket.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jev3gs:
I own the S3 and had the Note 2 for 2 weeks. Really the Note is a great phone. If the size doesn't bother you I would get the Note 2. I ended up returning the Note 2 though. I didn't return it because it was a bad phone. I returned it because I just couldn't justify wasting an upgrade to go from the S3 to the Note 2. The difference between the 2 isn't as great as one might think. Plus my S3 with an Hyperion extended battery this thing lasts forever.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ormuz:

You can try a Third Party Retailer. I've had luck with them really not being sticklers for Sprint policies. It's still a bit of a gamble IMO. But some Third party retailers only care weather they can get Sprint to cover it or not.

or is there a place to get the stock telstra rom and restore to that .

If the phone is currently working you should be able to flash it back to stock without using an EFS backup - have you tried that?

Does she still want JB or is she wanting to go back to ICS? Why does she want to go back? http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ has latest stock downloads if that will suit...

[HTC One X] adalq:
I have a stock HTC One X. It was not rooted, nor unlocked.

Encryption was enabled on the phone.

Today, after receiving and applying the JellyBean OTA update, I can't see the SD card anymore. Most apps complain that it is unmounted.

If I connect the phone to the computer over USB, I don't have the "disk drive" option anymore, and I can only see a "HTC Sync Manager" partition with the HTC Sync software on it, which was not there before.

If I go into Settings/Storage, I have in the "App storage" section a 30.18 GB Other entry, which I assume is the SD card. The "Phone storage" section is listed a s Unavailable, and grayed out.

Can I somehow make the SD card visible again? Even if it means losing the data on it (I had backup).
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Are u on the custom recovery (cwm 5.8.4.0)

Sorry not rooted nor unlocked. Did u update the HTC drivers , could be helpful

When i plug it in i see sync manager just like you but i also see the mtp drive as HTC one x ...
[HTC One X] magatsu82:
I dont know if it is what u mean, but after JB the way u get acces to your storage when you connect it to the PC has changed, is no longer a mass storage device, u can't no longer do the "safe removal" from taskbar and its not shown along with your other disks in My PC.

I use app backup and restore, and when it first opened it warned me that no sd card was found mounted, but it still works :P
[HTC Droid DNA] chrisjm00:
Quick question. I received a replacement device due to creaks in the case. I want to go ahead and unlock and root the phone, but I don't have the sticker that has my IMEI on it anymore. Is there a place to see it, or an ADB command I can run that will display my IMEI for my phone?

If you still have the box that it came in, it should be on there too.

Hi there

I have wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions, flashed Remics 1.8 and Gapps 20120429 and i'm stuck at Remics boot animation.

I am trying for the second time, this time I wiped data, cache before flashing gaps too but it's booting for 15 minutes now and still waiting.

The ROM was released today so I have no feedback. Anyone tried it already?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
To make sure you have the full file try checking the size, download the file, check size, if same click cancel and if not same delete the incomplete version(sometimes it's just a network problem, happened to me before)

After checking you have full sizes, follow these steps:

(1) copying the files to you phone.

1- use CWM, connect usb to computer.

2- go to mounts and storage.

3- connect usb storage.

4- copy files to the phone's internal memory.

(2) flash the rom.

1- go to mounts and storage(again)

2-format /system /data /cache

3- go back and wipe data(just to make sure) then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.

4- go back and flash rom and Gapps.

5- again go to advanced and but now fix permissions.

6-reboot and enjoy!

It's a small magnet which I have found so far after 2 weeks of use it doesn't interfere with spen functions, perhaps I don't spen enough but 4.5/5 from 70 reviews can't go wrong for the price. If you feel iffy on the magnet you can go into those Amazon reviews then keyword search box just for this product reviews: magnet

i'm using a telus i747m, could this have been due to flashing the d2att versions of the rom? i didn't find any separate d2can file, but have also seen on various threads about editing a build.prop file (but i never got a status 7 error when flashing roms) for d2can models due to different radio for at&t. if i change the build.prop will this correct the wifi issues? i did not have problems with cell signal/data.
