Ok I was following this root toolkit step by step..... everything seemed to be going smoothly, I was flashing Odin and when the phone powered off to reboot, nothing happened. It did not reboot and on the toolkit page it just says ``waiting for device to be detected``.... but nothing. I tried to power up the phone manually and nothing...for a split second an image of a completely drained battery with a ``loading circle`` in the center of the battery, but then it disappears and still nothing but a dead phone. I tried to boot the phone up holding the home button, volume down and power and a warning message comes up saying....

Warning: A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel and restart phone``

I tried the volume down and `` SAMSUNG`` appears for a split second then dead again.

Can somebody PLEASE help me....... Im so stupid...Ive had this brand new phone for less than 12 hours!! Thank you all in advance and I hope to hear from anyone. .

This is the toolkit I used was Samsung Galaxy Root Toolkit V3.0....SGS3 Snapdragon Toolkit V1.0

At the end of the steps it stated xda was the source so I figured it was legit.

Jeff
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
how long did you wait for the phone to reboot?

if you can get to the warning about the custom os again, that's a good sign. when you do that, press volume up and use odin to load a stock rooted rom and you should be fine.

Thank you so much for the fast reply. Yes I pressed up and the downloading screen came up. On the top is says in red Odin Mode.... how do I go about usin Odin again...

ok then, how do I get into recovery mode from the Odin Mode Downloading Do not turn off target!! screen
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jscottbb6:
Ok, I cant get into Recovery Mode... when I press Home, Volume up and power, Samsung appears for a split second with Recovery mode in blue letters... but then disappears along with a small vibrate pulse...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jscottbb6:
I just realized that wen I flashed Odin it told me to choose i9300 as my phone model and that is the European model correct...This is what most likely caused this headache isnt it.... Anyways, im still stuck on the Odin Mode screen and the volume home and power buttons do nothing.....

Please bare with me man... im a super noob and I really had no business trying this in the first place...all ive done in the past is some custom theming... I dont even know where you are talking about when u said go to Odin flashables.... I just got the phone and it was locked to Rogers.... I went online and found a free unlock service provider thread cuz Im with Fido and I did that, bought a micro SIM card and everything was working great... until i did this... now Ive been in front of this computer for the last 7 hours stuck on this and I just want to either fix this or have it rooted ASAP... I have a HUGE headache and I have to bring my daughter to daycare in an hour and then work 12 hourstonight so I have to get to bed soon... but I dont want to leave it like this..... im so upset with myself right now grrrr I really appreciate your help brother... sorry if im frustrating you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jscottbb6:
What image would I flash if the phone WAS with Rogers but I unlocked the service carrier
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jscottbb6:
Can someone please just tell me what to do. This is what ive done to it:

-Factory Rogers GalaxyS3

-used free online carrier unlock so I could use my Fido SIM.. (didnt know unlock was not necessary to go from Rogers to Fido)

-Idiot me used SGS3 International Root Toolkit from here - http://androidrootaccess.blogspot.ca/2012/07/rooting-samsung-galaxy-s3.html on a canadian model

-it didnt reboot back up after flashing Odin and cant get into recovery mode....only download screen in Odin Mode

WHAT DO I DO... someone please tell me what to do to either A) return it back to STOCK or B) ROOT IT Properly. Ive never done this before so telling me to go somewhere and download this and unzip it and yada yada yada means nothing to me. Can someone just give me a link to put into Odin that will make this all better....PLEASE... I havent even had this phone for 24 hours yet and I need it for work at 7pm tonight and its 930am now. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.... and yes I know I sound pathetic and useless lol....Thanks in advance guys!!

Jeff

PS- what if I use ODIN and flash CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 .......will that allow me to wipe and factory reset
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flexfulton:
If you can still get into download mode (big yellow triangle) and ODIN will recognize you phone, you can get everything you need from this forum thread to root it and then install TWRP or CWM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

If you would prefer to just get back to stock for today, you can get what you need here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1968625

Do not deviate from these two threads. Everything you need is contained within the first post of each of those threads.

Make sure you get the correct files for your phone (AT&T, Bell, Rogers etc.) It actually doesn't really matter as long as they are files for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 or I747 model. For the sake of making it easy on you, use the Rogers files as you are in Canada on the Rogers/Fido network.

I know you are in panic mode but seriously, take your time and READ the posts about how to do it. Rushing anything in this game can easily screw your phone up for good as you have already experienced first hand.

If you cannot get your phone to go into full download mode and have ODIN on your PC connect to your phone, you have it borked it up beyond easy everyday repair.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] niabi:
I am not in your position, so please don't blame if it gets worse, but I've done several flashes so I am going to explain what would I do.

Go into the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

and download this and follow the instructions there

Rogers Image

Current I747MVLDLK4 (JB 4.1.1)

Mirror 1: Download root66_RWC_I747MVLDLK4.7z

Second,

Extract the root66_xxx_.tar.md5 from the .7z file you downloaded.

Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.

once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66_xxx_.tar.md5 you downloaded.

Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.

click start and

when done let phone reboot.

If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the phone, users have had issues using other cables.

If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.

those instructions are very clear as to what to do, but if you don't understand one let me know and I will try to explain it :)

edit: this video might be easier to follow on how to get odin working http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/
[Nexus 4 General] joshnchen:
I just tried this tweak out and I am getting much better speeds overall. If someone else could confirm, that would be great. The tweak is simple.

When editing the APN, it should be epc.tmobile.com. Under APN type it should say "default,supl,mms" add hipri to the end so that it reads "default,supl,mms,hipri" and that is it.

Give it a shot and let me know if your speeds are any faster. The biggest improvements I've seen are in upload speeds and latency. My latency is down to about 35ms down from about 57ms and my upload speeds are up to 3.8mbps, up from about 2mbps. Download speeds are about the same.

UPDATE: I was only able to get those speeds when I changed my DNS to google's servers and adding hipri
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Gonna see if it works and how do you change your Dns?
[Nexus 4 General] joshnchen:
I use setdns from the play store
[Nexus 4 General] dweekie:
Weird, i get significant delay and network error when using speedtest.net app with setdns - google dns.
[Nexus 4 General] milan03:
Can anyone else confirm this?
[Nexus 4 General] joshnchen:
Is your phone rooted? Try it without changing your DNS.
[Nexus 4 General] milan03:
My stock N4 doesn't really show any speed improvement with only hipri added. Can't tweak the DNS since I'm not rooted.

btw, do you keep IPv4 or you're adding v6 as well?
[Nexus 4 General] joshnchen:
I just use IPv4. I wonder if my speed improvements are a result of being in a refarmed area. The hipri tweak is usually for at&t phones and i believe stands for high priority. Anyone else try it out?
[Nexus 4 General] milan03:
Refarmed market here, no benefit for me.
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
It slowed down my dl speed and increased my up speed. Thanks anyways
[Nexus 4 General] evilmunkeh:
I performed the tweak but I haven't seen any major changes.

One thing to keep in mind is the way Android devices after JellyBean handles the network. I've noticed that "at rest" the network stays at HSPA:10. When the network is "active" it switches to HSPA+:15. I think this happens in an effort to conserve battery when not in use. Because of this, the first SpeedTest performed will have a higher latency than ones performed immediately after.

Just some thoughts.

[Nexus 4 General] ATnTdude:
This makes much, much more sense than using an AT&T APN tweak on T-Mobile's network. Anyone who is claiming to see an improvement can congratulate themselves on experiencing the placebo effect firsthand.

Like the german or something like that ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
This is issue is not ROM related, but your device state related b'coz of lucky patcher.

if you have backup then simply factory reset will do job.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2081430
[HTC Desire X] SaadCrackz:
It's Included in the rom touch and hold your screen until widgets appear

scroll through the widgets and you will see it...

if you don't see it try Reflashing The Boot.img
[HTC Desire X] bolzerrr:
Thanks for teh reply. I see only 4 pages there, so it is missing. i will reflash the image (but not the rom, correct?)
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
It's available only when you choose Sense Full in installation.

Removed the current weather clock widget, re-add the widget:

long press on the blank area (after you removed the widget), under widgets choose Clock (HTC), you should see five pages of clock style, the weather clock 4x1 in the 5th pages (see attached)

Edit: I notice the 4x1 clock widget is too high on the screen... will fix this next week hopefully.

Ok will reflash with full and try again. i also recognized a bug(?). It says that wallpapaers cannot be startet on reboot of the phone..

Secondly, please do not type like u r textn ur homies because nobody understands that.

And finally, the sense rom for i9300 was not very popular and there is nothing happened since last update afaik.

Sense is HTC only feature and would require massive modifications to s3 rom to even boot up, so you should be thankful that the devs

got it even booting.

It's 2016, you don't need these apps to turn off backlight, you just get the option built in your rom (stock or custom).

As topic above, my previous phone is MotoFAIL Atrix 4g. After sticking with Atrix for years, it still stuck on GB. Even the leaked ICS/CM10.1 are not usable for daily driver.

if you can afford little bit more ..go for a recent one like HTC one s/x/x+ or samsung side or nexus

its just that sensation is bit old hardware wise :) but it is pretty efficient to hold ics or jellybean roms (remember sensation might not get official jellybean update ..but there might be custom jellybean rom in future..and AOSP/CM/AOKp already have jellybean butter :D)

if you are getting sensation for a bit low price ...go for it ..just buy an extra battery though ..anker 1900mah (stock battery sucks)
