[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Gazzamit:
I followed this guide last week and it worked (dec 2017).

Previously I'd unlocked my S3 with code 3 years ago but it locked again last week! Tried unlocking with same code but no joy.

So I downgraded ROM from Android 6 ROM to stock 4.1.1 via Odin (I9305XXALI5_I9305EVRALI5_I9305BVALI5_HOME.tar), stopped boot, flashed twrp (twrp-3.0.2-1-i9305.img.tar), factory reset, booted and used UTMS trick to unlock. (Knox says count 7).

I updated modem(XXUFPE1-FTM-I9305XXUFPF2) and Installed rom and gapps 7.1. [ROM][7.1.2_rx] AOKP N [07.07.2017][UNOFFICIAL][i9305]. https://xdaforums.com/gal...-2016-t3350652. (After installing AOKP N ROM, I installed RR 5.8.5 and that also worked).

Still unlocked and have IMEI and baseband and calls work etc.

Cant find model 4.1.1

Hello can you host the 4.1.1 firmware so i can download it ? I can't find it
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] chillipig:
Having gone from 4.4.4 (EE) to 4.1.1 (EE) and completed the steps as listed I got a successful unlock and can now use GiffGaff(02 virtual network) on all but 4G, EE still works fine on 4G but the best signal I get on GG is 3G+

I've done as much research as I think possible including setting LTE to Automatic in the service menu and have updated to the final firmware available on Sammobile which is French and has the latest modem.

Turning off SHA 256 seems to come with a price as although I have re-enabled it the phone is still unlocked so I cant even go down the £8.99 unlock code route from EE now.

Has anyone come across a way to fix this or at least revert to the phones original state? Also are there any codes to reset the service mode back to factory default as some options appear to have no way to reselect their original values?

Many Thanks...

Hello, i'm new here

I stumbled upon this while trying to find a way to unlock Samsung LTE s3 I9305 locked to EE uk.

I'm not a tech savvy person so all these sounds a bit strange to me, can you please confirm if this method still works in 2019 and also step by step tutorial in layman terms.

Thank you in advance.

Update:

i was to downgrade using odin and my phone is unlocked now, i have also restored the nandroid backup that i made before flashing but i have 2 issues

1) I can't open to sign in to google account in settings which playstore and other google apps are not working (They crash and send me back to home screen)

2) Data connection is not coming on

Hi all,

Is anyone successfully using a JB rom for Google maps, specifically the GPS and also a working tv out feature?

I tried slim bean 4.2.2 but cannot get a picture on any of my Samsung tv's when enabling tv out with the specific cable. Also finding Google maps keeps displaying detecting GPS although GPS toolbox says I have 8 satellites.

Thanks,

JRSE
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hr Kristian:
I'd suggest flashing CM10 stable or a derivative of it and try again.

4.2.2 isn't stable, so...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrse:
Thanks Hr Kristian for pointing me in the right direction.

I tried CM10 but had same issue so suspected something other than JB ROM and investigated further finding the cable wasn't terminating for video. Corrected this and tv out works on slim bean 4.2.2.

As for GPS I am seeing sats but not locking. I am going to try the GPS hardware fix as seen on this forum.

I Still have problem! Try doubletwist - nothing (GNexus not compability), Winamp - nothing (Searching...). Whats you reccomends?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] suckerphree:
Sorry for the noob question.

I'll make it brief:

I'm running CM 10.1 on my Verizon S3

One of the main reasons why I made a decision to try 10.1 was because of the ability to group text in 4.2.2

Anyway, after flashing, everything works fine except for my group texts give me a "failure to deliver" message."

'

Any clue on why group texts would fail?

Do I need to ensure I've flashed the latest radio?

There's nothing in the settings to really help.

Thanks so much in advance!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] AlexF:
I have a Siemens SX56, locked to AT&T.

I downloaded the new 1.1 ROM, (Jeff's courtesy)

and began the upgrade.

It started, My SX56 said "Upgrading It will take about 5 minutes...."

Then,

I got an error message on my computer about com ports not being available, it lost the active sync connection, and now my SX56 is hung on the same message: "Upgrading It will take about 5 minutes....."

Of course, I'm unable to connect back.

Any suggestions?

I'm trying to be able to use it with T-Mobile.

I was unable to get any results by pushing the hard/battery resets.

Thanks!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
"COM ports not being available"... Are you using ActiveSync via serial cable or cradle?

If you really cannot connect anymore, I guess you have to use an SD-card and the bootloader method to get back to a working state. But do try to reset the device and restart Programme A., it may just pick up again. I've seen that happen here once.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Try doing a soft reset then put it back in the cradle, the upgrade should restart automatically.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] rats:
Hi Alex,

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] barjohn:
Were or are you using a USB hub? If so that may be your problem. The SD Card method works very well and very reliably. No comms outside of the device. I found many times whenn trying to do file xfers to the XDA that for no reason in the middle of transferring a file the connection would be lost.

I haven't had this problem with 2003 and AS 3.7.

[About XDA developers] _Variable:
Hello everyone, new members, lurkers and good old friends.I am SammyDroidWiz, presenting a possible reason behind why the 1970 bug specifically says 1970, not really a "fix" but a theory on why the bug chose said year.

The Unix Calendar(Unix Time)

Reddit user metaphorm says this in a /r/eli5 thread(comment permalink):

This states that the Unix time starts at 12:00 am(00:00 military time)January 1, 1970. This starting time is also known as the Epoch.

Internally, Unix time is computed in seconds, while months, days and years only being (re?)computed by a program for purposes of human viewing.

Here is the wikipedia page for Unix Time.

A quote from the Wiki page states:

The above quote states that Unix time may no longer be accurate in seconds/day, graduallly losing sync with the Earth's rotation on its axis by 1 second per year. But I assume that this will not affect our usage of Lunix/UNIX systems like Macs, PCs, Android devices, iOS devices and embedded systems/servers.

Information on the Epoch is also on this quote:

Right below where the quote is taken, there is a table showing the "gradual inaccuracy by seconds/year" which is also on the other quote.

Im thinking that a slight malfunction in the app caused it to restart the Epoch.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
Hello,

I own an AT&T ONE X (SIM unlocked) curently being used outside US with a different carrier than AT&T obviously.

I have been trying the Check for updates since last thursday and still not available for my phone.

Does anybody know if AT&T phones outside US will get the JB update?

If not, is there a way to flash the update manually? I already have the 630MB zip file but could not figure out a way to flash it.

Tried thru recovery mode, but I get the error that /sdcard FS could not be mounted.

Thank you very much
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
You won't get the OTA unless you're connected to AT&T.

I assume you're doing this in stock recovery? That error is normal--you can ignore it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
Yes, I am using stock recovery.

But, where do I need to put the .zip file?

I put it under /sdcard but stock recovery does not see it.

Thanks for your reply!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jerrycoffman45:
Did you rename it update.zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
No, I kept the original long name.

Should I rename it to update.zip? And where do I need to copy it to?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Yes, rename it. It should be in the main directory on the sdcard, not in a folder.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
You mean /sdcard?

Thank you very much for your help!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Correct.

Don't say "Thanks," hit the Thanks Button for anyone who helped. :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
DONE! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
Weird.

I still get the error mounting /sdcard.

Then when selecting Apply update from internal storage or from external storage all it does is to reboot the phone :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
The error shouldn't matter. I got it too.

Are you relocked on a stock rom? I'm not sure you can apply it otherwise.

I relocked, ruu'd to 2.20, and then flashed, and it applied perfectly the first time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
Yes I am running stock Rom and I see the pink locked message when rebooting into recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Maybe a bad download? You're able to see and select the update.zip file?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iLuijoMarrero:
hey i'm having same situation, i'm outside us and using another carrier could you help me?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Being outside the US and on a different carrier probably means you're not going to get the OTA. You can manually download it and flash in stock recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
Nope, right after I select apply update from internal storage, it reboots the phone.

Says something about operation invalid.

Let me try it again and send the exact error message.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Download the file again, and rename again. Make sure it's update.zip (i.e., no typos). Sounds like something in the file might be crashing recovery when it goes to look for it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
This is exactly what I get:

E: can't open /cache/recovery/command

E: failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)

And then once I select Apply update from internal storage, I get:

Invalid operation

Success rebooting

Do you have a URL where I can download the file again?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
The first two errors are normal; I got them too.

Direct link from HTC: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_EVITA_UL_....130.32.34_release_3061616bcty3drvawwo01k.zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iLuijoMarrero:
i was trying to flash the same file you uploaded and i couln't even see the file on recovery! I'm getting same problems
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
You have to rename it update.zip and place in the main directory, not a folder.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iLuijoMarrero:
tried twice and still getting same problems, i rename it and still happens, i put the file in the main directory not in a folder and however, still without see the file and the phone rebooted itself
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
That's the extent of my expertise, I'm afraid. I've only flashed something in stock recovery this once, and it went through without a hitch the first time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iLuijoMarrero:
:/ , I better root my phone and unlock the bootloader to install a custom Rom, should I?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
I am thinking of doing a factory reset and then try the check for updates. If that doesn't work, maybe performing the update.zip recovery but with a fresh phone. Maybe that helps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
Elvis, can you please confirm me (if you are running JB) that *#*#4636#*#* opens the phone information window where I can change to GSM only?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iLuijoMarrero:
if doing a factory reset works, let us know
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
flashing ota using update.zip is a no-brainer. make sure you are s-off, relock bootloader, run 2.20 ruu, download 3.18 ota rename update.zip stick on root of sdcard, boot in stock recovery flash using update.zip it gives choice of external or internal storage just poke around until you find the update.zip select then flash. takes like a few minutes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kundalus:
Phone treats internal storage as cache & external as ur "internal memory" when using in android. Select external storage and u shud be done.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iLuijoMarrero:
What do you mean with "s-off" ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jerrycoffman45:
What he means is if you are rooted with supercid and are not s-off the ota update will brick your phone so go s-off your phone it is very easy to do
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
Just checked and it says:

*** LOCKED ***

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Glad it did not take the OTA update cause I could have bricked my phone right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jerrycoffman45:
No it shouldn,t because if it says that you are completely stock not rooted and don't have supercid so you should be good to go check HTC's website they should be releasing a ruu soon that will make updating easy for you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
So, to be 100% sure, am I good to go with the OTA update? Or should I check something else?

The RUU released by HTC's website will be a .exe correct?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jerrycoffman45:
Correct too both questions
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iLuijoMarrero:
i did not get it yet, if i want to update to jelly bean what do i have to do??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tero2012:
Hey Elvis,

How did you get to that htc link for the zip?

I wonder if there is already a link to download the .exe version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Someone else posted it. AFAIK, there is no ruu for JB yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] unforseenenemy:
Hate to hijack or hit up old topics. I just wanted to share that you may not always have to be on att to get ota. Had hoxl on softbank Japan since phone came out and have received every ota.

To receive it I just flashed back to stock recovery and re locked bootloader for duration of update.

Hope this helps someone in the future!

Same problem with me.

Have put in the file "update.zip" into "/sdcard/update.zip"

Error:

As soon as i enter recovery mode, I encounter these:

E: failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory), I get this statement thrice

Tried all three option:

Update from Internal Memory

Update from Cache

Result :

Kindly guide me, we have been waiting since age
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Try fastboot erase cache and try again.

Also, the update.zip file needs to be in the main directory, not a folder.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhishek jain:
Tried that without any luck.

I believe all the people (if not all then majority) who are not on AT&T any more are facing the same problem.

So there should be some link which is missing in this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
HTC seems to be no longer posting the RUUs on their website. I've checked every Android phone in recent memory, and all the RUU links are gone from their support website: http://www.htc.com/us/support/

Wonder if that has to do with the spat between HTC and HTCRUU.com: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/01/24/htc-forces-owner-of-htcruu-com-to-shut-down-hand-over-the-roms-and-domain/

The download links for the RUUs on this thread still seem to be good.

Wonder what this means for the 3.18 RUU? Will HTC still officially offer it? Presumably it won't be posted on their website, but you will need to be given the link from a HTC tech support rep? Or of course "unofficial" means.

If yes, is it necessary to lock my device using "S1 Tool" before unlocking it officially?

Lolz!

Its generally the other way round that people ask

As in Is it beneficial to unlock unofficially

Anyways to answer you,no nothing fancy in unlocking officially!

You're better off with unlocked bl that too via testpoint!

There's just need for Unlocked bl -Be it anyhow you do Either official or unofficial...

Still,

If you're doing official unlock ,you need to be on stock fw if I'm not wrong and yea,with a locked bootloader Ofcourse ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] piCool13:
LOL :p

Just for the curiosity ;)

I guess its better to b unlock unofficially because it preserve the DRM keys so software like Track ID still works :D
