[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigallo:
Hello everyone!

First of: I'm not sure if this is the right section, if not move.

Second of: thanks for the help you give, hope you can help me too.

I got a problem with my S3.

I was running Cyano10 Nighty (not the last one, i just update once a week) and in the last days my phone started to reboot randomly once in a while.

Today my phone start to reboot again, but it get stucked at the SG3 logo. I coudn't turn it off so i unpluged the battery. I tryed to reboot it again and nothing heppened, still stucked at the logo.

I tryed to run into CWM and then apply a recovery but I wasn't able to go into CWM. I can only make the phone run into Download mode.

I tryed to run Odin and apply some random firmware just to see if it woud work but when i plug in my S3 in donwload mode odin couldn't see it (and the whole Pc couldn't see it too).

I tryed to install kies first to get the driver, it didn't work.

I installed the S3 Toolkit and then installed the driver from here, it didn't worked.

so i'm asking: What can i do? I don't know if the phone must be functional while trying to install the drivers. Whereas i can find another S3 and finish the driver's installation, but then will Odin work?

Any suggestion is appreciate, Thanks for the help!

EDIT: I've noticed that when i put the phone on charge on screen appear a stuck battery logo, it doesn't get green and the grey spin doesn't spin.

Also in donwload mode i read this: (not sure if this can help)

Product name:

Custom binary download: No

Current binary: Samsung official

System status: Custom

Does this mean 100% no warranty?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSpeced:
I've seen Product name being empty before... I think it was something to do with a bad flash.

And, I'm assuming you used TA... but there's probably no warranty seeing the product name is wiped and it's "custom".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigallo:
What do you mean with TA?

I've flashed the CM10Nighty trought CWM, but i was using it since a long time.

The phone was correctly working and then i found it stucked on logo. No flash between the "working phase" and the "stucked on logo phase".

It was working and then stuck, but i didn't do nothing in between.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mika83AC:
What happens when you try to boot into CWM?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holdz:
Looks like you may have a corrupted NAND and need a new motherboard.

Only way to know, is if you try to flash it in Odin you'll get a PIT error.

If that's the case, then they should fix it under warranty :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigallo:
Notthing, if i hold VolumeUp+Home+Power the phone doesn't turn on, neither on logo screen

I can't use Odin cause when i plugin the phone (in download mode) Odin and the whole PC can't see it. I have win8, i don't know if that's a problem for Odin or something.

Is there a way to check if i have driver/odin/any working without using the phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

It looks like the bootloader is locked.

There are lots of guides for unlocking it,if you need any help I'll be glad to help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdX9170:
Ur bootloader is locked.

I think the best bootloader unlocking guide is on the flash tool thread here on xda..

But since ur stuck at Sony logo, ull hv to first use Sony PC Companion to repair ur phone. Just connect ur phone n open PC companion. Itll mostly tell u that ur phone is up to date. Click on that part n then look for a repair option. Follow the steps n after Sony flashes its stock ROM ur phone will work :)

Then check out the bootloader unlock guide n once uve successfully unlocked it, follow feralab's instructions to install his ROM
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X_Heroine_X:
well thank you alot guys

bootloader was locked

its working perfect now ! ;)

Straight Talk for the i777 is totally there for you to make the switch. All you need is :

Straight talk Sim

At least on months service

Correct APN via settings>carrier>APN (access point names)

What device are you thinking or leaning towards after your i777? We wanna know. Share your next move with your straight talk service! :D

This is the link to the nexus 4 with straight talk. If you wanna check it out. I'm gonna also put up another link that talks about why everyone should actually look into this method of service.

Straight Talk is cheap and a good option if you don't use (much) data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
I think so. I do mainly have WiFi around me all day anyway. Home and work. I listen to Pandora on the way to and from though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
If you'll be using the AT&T network, be careful. They also track daily data usage. Something like 70-100mb a day will cause you to get suspended.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Yeah. I was reading the nexus 4 thread for the straight talk. They where changing the info and proxy info to not get suspended and or get better data and cell coverage. Think that's possible with the i777 as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I was looking into the straight talk plans for my son. The one plan says its 45 a month with unlimited talk text and data. Is it not unlimited?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
Not truly unlimited. I would read the fine print. There's something called the fair usage policy or something like that. Still a good deal if your son is not a heavy user
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Not unlimited. Head over to the nexus 4 (straight talk thread) and read what those guys are doing. You can change some codes around to get better signal strength and do things to not get capped on data. Its pretty neat. Im headed in that direction. I'm not resigning again. I'm gonna use this phone to make the switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroIsntTheHero:
I switched over roughly 4 months ago and couldn't be happier. I get more than I did with ATT for less money. I was only getting 450 minutes, 200 texts and unlimited data for around $80, where as I now get unlimited everything for $45 a month.

I haven't noticed anything in regards to data caps. I'm not an extremely heavy user, but I don't attempt to use as little as possible either. Most of the extremely heavy users are people that are just abusing the system anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Thank you for your posting. Just another reason to amp me forward on the straight talk. You have straight talk? Im guessing yes. Can you describe the route you chose and how long it took to get running. Are you using the i777.? I don't have to use data that much really eaither.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Correct. I have the i777. I purchased the sim card from their website. It took roughly 3 business days for the sim card to get here. If you're looking to keep your same phone number/port it to Straight Talk. I found the most effective method for doing so is doing it through the Straight Talk website where you simply fill in the forms with your information as well as your account information. The transfer process took approximately 30 seconds to finish(not including typing in the information). I was up and running on Straight Talk basically immediately after submitting the information and putting the sim card in my phone. Now that time frame can vary, but I've seen that it's a rather consistent trend in regards to transfer times. I swapped my fiancee's phone over as well(she is using the Infuse) and it took the same time frame to complete. Just make sure you have all of your information on hand when you are ready to transfer over(phone number, account number, password/pin, social security number of the account holder of the previous carrier and their basic contact information as well.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
My wife has the iphone4s. At&t. We are going go both do it. I'm up for renewal now. She is soon. Sounds pretty smooth on the transition. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OneOfMany07:
First I've heard of "Straight Talk". I've rarely used data in the past, and only started because I was paying for it anyway :cool:

What? Man...can't they just let us use the service we pay for!?!?!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
I don't think its that bad....its the people who abuse the data that get capped on data usage.... from what I understand. Also, some are experiencing lower speeds due to high volumes in certain areas with heavy usage and peak times. Thinking that is being idled down ......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Vintage144:
Ive been using straight talk for about 2 weeks now ,its better than att , surprising how there service uses the same towers and yet with att our service sucked , ,switch to ST and BAM!! we already have better service ,I live in the sticks in Oklahoma and still get better service , My phone is a Galaxy Note and it rocks , my wifes been using a Samsung Focus win phone 7 and orks but cant get mms to work , but I just got an S2 and in the process of updating it to use with ST , just need to find a way to transfer her contacts!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Sweet that's nice to know. Well if she has Google on her focus then you can just transfer over her account on to the s2 and her contacts should be there . Just have to make sure its Synced. I'm not very familiar with the windows set up. Thank you for posting and sharing feedback. Good luck with the transition on to the s2 (much better phone!) :)

ST S2 i777 Settings.

Glad to know that someone has the S2 running on ST. Unfortunately, I've not been able to get my phone to connect. I think when I got the phone the EFS/NV files had been corrupted.

Can any of you guys who have a working system for ST with an i777 please post up your settings. You can copy and paste the information below and fill in the details by looking at the Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. You can leave your Username and Password off if you have it set but it should say NOT SET.

Name:

APN:

Proxy:

Port:

UserName:

Password:

Server:

MMSC:

MMS Proxy:

MMS Port:

MCC:

MNC:

Authentication Type:

APN Type:

APN Protocol:

APN Enable/Disable: Check Marked but Greyed Out.

Bearer:

The information that I got with the ST card with all of the settings does NOT list the MCC or MNC settings and the settings I found online do NOT match the settings I was given by the ST rep when I talked to them on the phone. So any help/settings would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time and trouble folks.

BTW, I'll go again and see if I can find a "Settings" thread and delete this post if I do.

Pm zeroisntahero. He has st on the i777 . Good luck ! I hope you can get it resolved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:
You shouldn't need to touch mcc or mnc. They should be filled in when you create a new apn. The data settings on straighttalksim.com will work fine, as that's what I always use.

And that 70-100mb in a day suspension past isn't solid. I've done 400mb in one day, and never got a call about being suspended.

Basically, YMMV.

I've been using Straight Talk on the Galaxy SII through T-Mobile for about 5 months now and have been very happy. Not a big data user but do use it occassionaly without any issues. I've been trying to talk others into it as well. Great service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Just wanted to thank everyone that has posted. This makes the switch easier to see when you all tell about your experience with ST. I appreciate you taking the time to do so. Please post any issues that you may have too!! :D:D;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squigge:
I was just curious for those of you who made the switch, have you ever had a day when you really needed to burst data usage and called ST to let them know? I'm curious if this would get you in trouble or if they would have a way to tag your account and let it slide if it was an emergency.

I'm thinking of changing when my contract is up next year, but I'll be giving up a grandfathered unlimited plan from AT&T. I won't mind it that much, but it is nice to have that safety net in case you have to burst. I've had a scenario in the past where I was working remote and the internet went down where I was, and I used my phone's wifi to tether and work the remainder of the day. I think I used 2GB or something that day. I'm sure that would have got me booted from ST if I was there, but AT&T could have cared less.

That is my only apprehension to switching but I'm just curious if they would work with you in these kinds of emergencies and let a day slide.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Well. I can tell you that your current plan will get throttled if you exceed 3 gigs. At&t puts a cap even on unlimited plan users. If you look at the links that I have provided in the op you will see on the nexus 4 ST link that making changes like deleting proxys and changing APN to boost or enhance data coverage and speeds are used. I am not on ST yet but been following some threads. You also would get a warning text stating you are abusing data if you ran into that situation. Also its recommended to get a speed test app and run tests to check your speeds for throttling or high use areas(bad speeds due to congestion). From my understanding its better than the plan me and you are on (unlimited plan). Better signal strength and lower price with no contract. And hell if you don't like it you can get tmobile and give it a whirl! I hoped that helps again check that link and you can see how tweaking can camo them from tracking your data usage. I don't suggest being a data hog but in a sticky situation I can understand why it would be needed!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:
The only issue i ever had was with my wife's phone.. Somehow, the ST rep (middle-Eastern rep...) managed to get my wife's number on BOTH of our ST sims... That issue should not EVER be possible, yet both phones had my wife's number and could make/receive calls. I got it straightened out but since then my wife gets 2 emails when her end date is coming up. She gets one text saying basically "thanks for paying. new service end date is today." (wait, what?!) then she gets another text about a day later saying the same thing, but with the right end date.

It's near impossible to actually get phone help. I suggest hitting up their facebook page, simply because their email support is non-existant, and their phone support will have you on hold for an hour.. (I timed 45 minutes on hold 2 nights ago, because my wife's auto-refill was declined, due to a Straight Talk error). Their facebook page is monitored by their tech support, who work quickly to get your issue(s) resolved.

MMSC (not MSMC ;) ), and MMS proxy - 'proxy' and "MMS proxy" do different things. - And depending on your ROM, you need to input Type, which for ROMs with radio buttons for type, choose "Internet + MMS". For ROMs with a text field, its "default,supl,mms" (no spaces after the commas)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ARPwizard:
I've been using ST with my S2 for a little over a month now. Its awesome. For the data, don't watch 1080p YouTube videos, don't torrent anything and you're good. Email, Facebook, web browsing. Music streaming uses muchess bandwidth than video, but I don't really do that at all on mobile data.

In my first month I used less than 250-300mb, and that's sometimes everyday usage. Turn off mobile data when you don't need it, be careful of apps that want to automatically update or sync, and if possible only let updates occur over WiFi.

I've had no problems, and there's no way I could afford to pay 80-100 bucks a month for limited phone service.

Also, I needed to call in to support once, and I had no problems at all. I didn't have to wait at all, and the person was helpful and spoke clear English. I was very surprised actually. If you need customer service, maybe the best time to call is in the morning around 9-9:30 on weekdays.

By the way, if you have your APN set and can't get picture messages, make sure mobile data is enabled, then try to download them.

I'm interested in checking out what the N4 users are doing. The great thing about ST BYOP is when you want to upgrade, or even try out another phone, you just put your sim card in there.

One more thing, I transferred my service from Net10 and the number port was almost instant. That makes sense though as they are both Tracfone companies and were both on AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trazer_se:
I too switched over the StrightTalk and have been perfectly happy with them. Been there for maybe 4-5 months now and we've never had any issues. I switched my Windows Phone over and my Wifes S2 with no issues. I'm a light data user, my wife has no idea, she just uses it whenever she wants and we've never had any issues at all.

Best decision ever if you're already an ATT user like we were.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dillon_b12:
I'm still several months away from being out of my contract, but this seems like a very interesting option.

If, for whatever reason, I wanted to go back to AT&T could I port my number back over to them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
I wasn't happy with Straight Talk for data. I had both AT&T and Straight Talk at one point while deploying out of Texas and AT&T was a good 2x faster. I called Straight Talk to mention my issue and they stated that they only get the "leftovers" from AT&T's bandwidth...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
OK . The wait is over for me and I just ordered my sim cards online from ST tonight. I'm actually paying to get out of my contract because I still have 10 months on my contract and our bill goes up 30 bucks a month starting next month so I figured I'll save that monthly plus come out cheaper than staying on the plan. I'll report back when I receive and port my numbers in 3 days. Merry Christmas! :D:):):D:D:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hipsterdo0fus:
Thanks for this thread. I am in the process of putting an I777 on ST. I just bought mine on CL - I guess as long as it says AT&T & I777 I should be fine? Also, I'm assuming there is no problem with being rooted or modded? I have CM 9 on mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Far as I know . As long as you have the correct set up you will be fine. When I ordered online it asked which phone carrier the phones were coming off of.

Also there are APN's for certain ROMs to work if I'm not mistaken. So is your card new or been used before?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hipsterdo0fus:
The phone I got was AT&T but unlocked to work with TMobile is what I was told. The other S2 I'm looking at buying has been getting used with AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Well t mobile is cheaper with better data. I guess depending on where you are . It has lower signal strength though. At&t is the opposite. Again depending on where you are. I believe tmoble has a 30$ plan .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hipsterdo0fus:
Yeah, I can't use the T-Mobile plan on straight talk - I go to a lake location where T-Mobile has virtually no signal...otherwise I wouldn't be opposed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
So you have been on ST? If so what phone are you coming from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hipsterdo0fus:
No, I have never been on ST before - just looking at getting on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Sweet. I can't wait to see how the coverage is in my area. Hopefully it works well as I'm about to fork out 360 to end me and my wife's contracts. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
How much did you give for your s2? And what color? I'm just curious. Pm if you want. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hipsterdo0fus:
To those who are on ST - when you refill, is there an invoice? I need to find out this info for my work as I get reimbursed. Essentially they said it needed to show my name and a date on it. Would love it if anyone could confirm (or even show me an example) - please feel free to PM me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Well I bought my cards and 1st months service. There is an invoice online on ST like any other invoice. It shows sims and at&t unlimited plan. Also shows name address and so on. I just got confirmation that my card have been sent out. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Finally got my sim cards today from Fedex. Went online and entered the info needed to port my number and such. then turned off my phone, inserted ST sim and bam! ALL DONE! My house coverage seems to be the same (guess it should be). I ordered my wife a sim for her iphone and yeeeeeah, its a micro sim. Nothing a razor knife and a pair of scissors couldn't fix. Neither one of us had to change our APN. But now that I'm looking at my picture text isn't going through so i guess i have too....Text and calls work on at&t APN. I'll post up more info as tomorrow comes and i use the service some.
