You can not root this firmware with this method,only older firmware
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xJokerz:
Which methode can I use than?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hackberrybold:
Flash older firmware with flashtool.

Search in Xperia S android development there are some topics how to root 2.55
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xJokerz:
But I have locked bootloader and only want to root without flash phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hackberrybold:
You don't have to unlock your bootloader to flash firmware.

hi, i was reading about bootloader that it has to be unlocked in order to flash custom roms

i did download ez unlock from play store and did unlocked the boot loader but it was not recognizing at status even after the operation (status unknown)

i have i747M rooted

now i powered off the phone wanting to save the rom(again) thru CWM but it wont boot for nothing even pluged charger is not recognized

i have saved once the image so i have it on my sd

what can i do to get my phone back to life?

thanks for your help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ConeyKiller:
Well, if you would have read anything, ez unlock is for verizon only. So, unless your phone shows any sign of life, you need to jtag.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adika9:
i realized after read some more but never thought it will die after reboot

anywaw phone is totally dead no sign at all

were do i find some step by step to debrick

i found some info but not for i747m

i wanna do it right this time

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ConeyKiller:
JTAG is best left to the pros unless you are familar with it. I believe user AdamOutler does it as well as mobiletechvideos.com
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adika9:
my friends anybody can tell me i can flash the bootloader with odin ?

i have a copy of the bootloader i guess i did before installing CWM only thing is on the phone internal storage that i cant acces

is there a way of accesing the internal storage of my phone as bricked?

if i plug the phone thru usb it gives me the qhusb dload driver missing

can i use odin to flash the bootloader if i can retreive it from my internal storage?

or is there a file i can download for i747m?

or if the only way is jtag i can do it myself just cant find my way to info

thanks for any info
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jrod85:
If you can't boot into download or restore, and if odin doesn't recognize, I can almost guarantee you that you have hard-bricked your s3. Your bootloader is messed up, and can only be restored through JTAG. For you to de-brick it yourself, you'll need to shell out a couple hundred dollars to buy the equipment, or you can send it to someone who offers the service for a smaller fee. If you need some suggestions, pm me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adika9:
i found driver for the phone so i guess it communicates with odin 1.85

i would like to try flashing a boot image for my phone I747MVLALH1 i think this is for virgin(bell)

anybody have one ?or know were i can download one?

i really have to try anything to get my phone back to life as i have some important data that i need asap

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adika9:
seriossly nobody have a solution for my problem other than buyng a riff box or sending it for repair?

im really interested to try things

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jrod85:
So your phone shows up in odin?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
Can you put your phone in download mode or in Clockwork mode? If yes you can download firmware HERE. Good luck
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
I don't see how you don't understand after all the replies... If your phone shows NO sign of life, (I.e. no download mode) You MUST either JTAG or wait for the SD/Hardware hack one of the Devs is working on.

That's it. End of story.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adika9:
im not sure if having the qualcomm driver installed will communicate with odin

only odin that recognizez the phone is version 1.85 and the port is with yellow but it wont go past msg "setup connection" when trying to flash

so i know that jtag is the sollution but im wondering if there is other solution than jtag

i found a post in the i9300 section that it could be unbricked with a procedure but im not sure its aplicable to i747m

anybody tryed to unbrick a hardbrick i747m other than jtag with riffbox ?

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adika9:
well i do understand a lot of things but if the replyes were :"u cannot solve it without JTAG or there is a fix in the works but not done yet" it would be better understood

the fact is i really wanted to try things that maybe other members dont even wanna touch
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zerogood:
I'm assuming you have but doesn't get explicitly stated. But you have tried pulling batter. Putting back in then hold down the volume down key, home button and power but then after 2 seconds phone should vibrate so u let go of power button but continue holding the other 2.

Or the same method but holding power up.

To get you into either download or recovery mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adika9:
thanks for this info but my phone got hardbricked because i unlocked the bootloader by mistake and it got corrupt i guess, and none of those actions work

Hello,

I have an SE LWW on stock 4.0.4 with the build number .587. It currently is rooted and has the Xperia Z launcher by ThilinaC. How can I revert back to the original launcher without losing root? And I did not make a CWM backup after rooting because of less space in SD card.

I was thinking of maybe restoring it through SUS but I don't want to root again. But then, I wanted to delete some apps so I am again thinking of restoring and then re-rooting. :p

So please explain me the answer to my first question and is it safe to restore using the SUS because I have a rooted phone?

P.S. The boot loader is still locked.

Thank you,

Asad

Just find the original Home.apk and push it to /system/app
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Find the stock Home.apk and HomePreferences.apk (or a similar name) and copy it to /system/app. Set the permissions and reboot ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AsadAbrar:
So I updated the phone via SUS thinking that I will root again. So, I flashed the stock GB Rom through Flashtool but I did not turn 'on' the USB debugging and unknown sources and changed the connectivity method to MSC mode. It failed when unused the Xperia Root app by DoomLord. So, I used SUS again and it updated it to GB with the build number .62(When I flashed GB rom, it had a build number of .58). So I flashed the stock rom via flashtool and updated it to the latest build number .587 of ICS. Then I restarted the root process and turned 'on' USB debugging and unknown sources and changed the connectivity mode to MSC and flashed GB Tom. It flaged successfully, but after flashing it does not get root access after using the Xperia Root tool. I did everything as mentioned. But, it still fails.

Any help?

Any way to turn it back to factory state through an official way?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
Did u marked unknown sources?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AsadAbrar:
Yes. Any way to return it to the factory state so I can try to root again?

How about downgrading to GB and using the PC Companion software.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
AW: Restore to stock Launcher without losing root?

You can downgrade to .42 or .58 and root. After that you run the local-prop script (you can find it in the tutorial how to root .431) and update phone without wiping data. Now you run push-root-files and you should have root access ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AsadAbrar:
But the root method fails. I can't root, Ye actual problem is that. If the root works, I know that I have to flash a stock ICS Rom and then use Xperia Root to root it. I have done that before but the actual problem is that it doesn't get rooted on GB.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
Are you sure you use root script for gb? (the one for ics is not compatible with gb)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
AW: Restore to stock Launcher without losing root?

But it MUST work if you are on .42 or .58!!

On .62 it won't work, .62 is unrootable ;)

Hi. Im using Adaway on my phone, but it interferes with one app, Viki, that I want to use. I want to add the hosts that Viki uses to my whitelist, but a google search on that topic is fruitless. I was wondering if there was a way to track which hosts an app is using by logging such information. I don't even know if this is possible, another app perhaps? Thanks for your help.

Can anybody help?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Masrepus:
AW: Wifi Problem - s5570i(stock ROM - kernel)

Yeah, me too and sometimes it also tells you 'error' if you switch wifi off and then want to switch it on again. At Samsung-forum they told me it happens if the accespoint-name is too long/has got special characters like $#- etc. It didn't help me but maybe it does help you if you change the name of your AP and delete all savedAPs with special characters. Anyway, if you reboot, it normally works again (at least some time ;) )

It's happening when I'm trying to install KDZ rom using offline way. When updating the right way everything is fine(It's downloading V20D, I live in Austria and using Orange). But when I'm trying to PUSH V21E, instead of geting "Select country and language" I'm geting that error.
[Galaxy S III General] needo:
Recently My device was exhibiting a strange behavior ( lag randomly at least 5 times in 1 hour ) ,

I've changed ROM & Kernel .. tried everything , but still the same behavior ..

I've tested my device with EMMC check App & Found that my device with affected chip ( eMMC: VTU00M , FW Rev: 0xF1 )

I've searched till i found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2104326

So i've cleaned my internal memory & format everything with recovery ( data & system & preload & .. )

& installed custom ROM again ...

Then installed LagFix (fstrim) App & run it ..

Also i've used Seeder 2.0.0 but i don't think it has any relation with this issue ..

consider to keep at least 25% of the internal storage free as recommended ..

Now my device is working for about 20 hours without any lag :D

WARNING!

There are some devices affected by BrickBug. Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy Note are known to have it. There are also reports that some Acer A210/A211 and LG O2x are affected too. There is a Got Brickbug? app to test your device, but it is only intended for Samsung users. BrickBug means DEATH of your device if you try LagFix! There are some unlucky guys already. In case of brickbug - use warranty and exchange your device. This is a hardware fault and manufacturer is responsible.

You should know that S III isn't included in app designer list , So don't use it unless you were about to send it to samsung

Sorry for my bad English ..
[Galaxy S III General] Tuga2010:
Anyone with CM 10.1 and siyah kernel, installed LagFix (fstrim) App ?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix

It is secure ?

regards
[Galaxy S III General] needo:
i can't certify that it's secure for our device or not as application designer not included S III on his list , but think it can't be harmful for us if you could take a look at it's concept !

anyway it's not related to ROM or Kernel ..
[Galaxy S III General] resore:
title is misleading, it is not related to sudden death.

SDS means mainboard has to be replaced, there is no software fix for already damaged devices

also fstrim may not be safe for s3 so dont suggest it to anyone
[Galaxy S III General] coolhof:
Re: [Fix] Sudden Death Problem

Fix you title.

This has nothing to do with SDS.

If you had the SDS than your phone goes off and don't boot again.

That's why it's called sudden death syndrome.

The folders inside are as shown in screenshot attached.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
Official OTA from T-Mobile.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
The OTA update showed up in /cache. My device was notifying me of an update. I noticed the size of the update was ~24Mb so I searched for large files on my device and found it.

I was not able to extract the zip for some reason. I am glad you were able to.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] sguerrini97:
We can't install this via fastboot since the zip doesn't have a "android-info.txt" file, maybe we can find out the way the phone use to install the zip to make and flash a zip for root :confused:

In terminal emulator I can't access /cache without root, can you?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
You are correct. Only root can access /cache .
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] sguerrini97:
I was wondering how did you get it on 10E without root, but T-Mobile 10E is rootable :p

Anyway I upgraded via OTA to an unrootable firmware and root is still here, but someone said that root disappear after an OTA update.

maybe with root keeper from playstore tmobile users can update to 10G, I hear that 10G (EU) firmware is better then the older.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
I may try updating my wife's P769BK since she only has root for blocking adds via /etc/hosts file. She has Vudu OTA root keeper installed. Still thinking about it....
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] sguerrini97:
The edited hosts file should remain edited since in the zip there isn't any hosts file.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
Good to know.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] sguerrini97:
Anyway these updates zip can be usefull if we know how to install them.

Example: I' haven't the europe open firmware, I've got a firmware from my carrier and if I install the 10A europe (via KDZ) I can't update to 10E or 10G because the phone will find only updates from my carrier... Whit a zip I should be able to update to the europe open firmware.

Someone should grab these zips and collect them :good:

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
Wifi tethering fix and some sort of security fix. You will loose root!

I am wondering if voodoo root keeper would allow you to restore root after the update. If you try it let us know.

I just discovered this today when I was doing research on coverage in my area because customers were saying they got 4G LTE signal on the south side of my town, and sure enough looking at this map it shows 4G LTE. BUT this app is very convenient because we, as the user, create the map and the coverage by our signal. I just wanted to share this with everyone so that we can create this into something very accurate and so you can keep up with the 4G LTE in your area. ;)

I heard that beastmode (erik) was working on trying to make wifi-calling work on our device (non gingerbread builds). I have access to a T-Mob Galaxy Note 2.

I could really care less if wifi calling work since no one calls me, it's just mostly texts. I'm just asking if it would help so people would stop being a bugger to our developers :P
