Use Odin. Flash back to stock. Start over.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jliehr:
I was trying but how can I do it if the phone won't even turn on? :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jliehr:
Tried to put it in Odin and it didn't show up at all. Phone is still nothing but a brick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Just to make sure, download mode is power+ vol down+ home at the same time. Usually takes 5-10 seconds
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jliehr:
Tried it a thousand times. Everything fails :(.

Is my phone dead?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Sounds like it could be.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jliehr:
That's not the answer I wanted to hear :(. What should I do!? If the battery is out and I plug it in the LED will turn red for about 5-10 seconds then turn off. What does that mean??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
since we're desperate here, i'm just gonna go ahead and repeat the download mode steps but in this order: VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER

dont press power button first. also, before you smash it into the ground, grab a usb jig off amazon or ebay.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

also, what is your S3 model (i747, i747m, i9300, etc)?

what is the exact name of the ROM download you used and where did you grab the download? the version you downloaded was released back in january i believe. rootbox is on version 3.9+ now. why the older ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
Your phone is hard bricked unfortunately that's exactly what it is. Search this forum for Jtag they're the only people that can fix it. Sorry for the bad news :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
i wanna know something

did you install i747 roms? or different version?

try hold power + home + up/down(i happen to run into one of these types of problem before though with an HTC device) for a very long time and see any reaction

also if the phone wouldn't turn on at all, you might wanna try replacing the battery like borrow friend's to test, it might be battery failure.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
Its hard bricked unfortunately I know thats not what you wanted to hear. About all you can do is Google Jtag and you'll find the place to send it to be fixed. Cost you $60 or $80 to fix it.

"Say WHAT one more time!"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jliehr:
I called AT&T and they are sending me out a new one. They waived the 2 day shipping fee as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
I recommend thoroughly reading the threads and when you think of trying something read some more and making a backup.

Right after rooting your new phone make a back up of your IMEI and learn how to restore it.

That little bit of information would've saved me $200 today.

I'm giving it to you free.

"Say WHAT one more time!"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
true story. IMEI backup

at the very beginning

is so important but never really preached. just as important as a nandroid itself.

i made a guide a couple weeks back due to lots of beginners doing things incorrectly (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179330). the boards were packed full of the same 10 rooting/flashing/imei problems, repeated a hundred times. please share this with every newcomer and let's get people started off on the right foot. cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KeeperOfThePizza:
The imei is on the back of the phone? So why bother back it up?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
While it's possible to restore your imei without a backup, you have a greater chance of success with a backup. Peoplesarmy's thread is a great, and easy, way to do it. Only takes a few minutes and the directions in the op ate very easy to follow.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
Lose your IMEI in your phone files and you'll know why but go ahead and take your chances you'll regret it.

"Death? Whadda you know bout death?"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
A few minutes of easy fix, or at least 20 to 30 minutes to fix (and this is generous). And the backup method has a MUCH better chance of working. This is a no brainer.
[General Questions and Answers] pookieguy:
Hi all,wondering if you can help with issue I have with Google maps/back. It always would give me detailed voice prompts during navigation and would

speak out street names and keep me updated during the trip. Now, all that is gone. I still get the voice but it is very basic. Won't say much actually, just turn left or turn right. What happened to Google maps/back or this or is it my skyrocket that is having the issue?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaestreetss:
Will the nexus 4 be able to get it ?

Actually I set up the new lte APN

I forgot where i got it from but

I went into phone info

(*#*#4636#*#*)

And took the lte setting.

I did this bc I'm in a testing city(NYC)

I noticed a slight increase in data speed.

But can anyone confirm this
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaestreetss:
Anyone in NYC ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddy130306:
Changing the network mode is not changing the APN. You need to go to APN settings and change the name to fast.tmobile.com and the APN protocol to IPv4/IPv6 and save it. Then do speed tests to confirm if you're getting LTE.

T-Mobile users have reported getting LTE in NYC but the network kicks them off about 15 mins later.

Yes the Nexus 4 will receive LTE.

APN setting can be found at Settings/More/Mobile networks/Access point names

Don't forget to be on a .33 or lower radio :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaestreetss:
Would this be considered lte?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintb:
By speed alone, nope. I've personally seen 25 down and 3 or so up on HSPA+.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddy130306:
No. When you go to results it should say LTE as your network. Your icon on top should say 4G too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kettlecorn:
Hi eddy, could you clarify this? I was under the impression that the Nexus 4 doesn't have an LTE radio or something and every review video I watch says that "no LTE" is a downside along with the no microSD card and removable battery.

Are you saying that there will be a Nexus 4 LTE version released soon? (This is all for Tmobile btw)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddy130306:
No no there won't be an LTE Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 is already LTE, but you must be on android 4.2.1 or have root. Correct that there is no expandable memory or removable battery. Most reviews say that it doesn't have LTE either because they made the review before it was discovered or simply chose not to say because its not official and The N4 only supports carriers with LTE that have band 4 and that is only a few (T-Mobile and some Canadian carriers).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
For LTE, you can have the newest version of Android, but you must flash an older radio that still had LTE enabled. Then, you need to do what other people suggested, change your APN and radio settings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Honestly I think HSPA+ is quite fast already. LTE is faster but do you really really really need it? It's cool to have and all. Most folks don't even know what LTE is or what it stands for. They just think "Oh it's super fast! I can download cat videos at super speeds!"
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
I found this post funny because your avatar is Jerry the mouse :good::laugh:

But LTE is just another feature that tmo released. Nothing more than faster speeds and faster killing of your battery on LTE. LOL
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VidMan:
I am content with HSPA+ for downloads but LTE would come in handy for uploads which are quite slow on HSPA+.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kettlecorn:
Oh gotcha thanks. Yeah that's really cool for Tmobile customers I guess since it may future proof the device a little bit more now that TMobile is getting ready to roll out their LTE sometime in the next year. (or few months if what they claim is truth)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
They're already rolling LTE as we are speaking. We should see more cities with LTE by the end of this year. They won't stop until the cover the whole country. AT&T, Sprint and Verizon are still rolling out LTE. Lol
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianoo:
Hello dear Community,

the prehistory ... about 2 weeks ago I get rid of my S2 and switched to the Xperia Z and I`am completely satisfied.

Because of my pre-"experience" with the S2, various Customrom's, Root and CMW I chose this day for these steps in the Xperia Z .

Got this in the course of the day and I Rooted the Phone and installed the latest CWM Recovery (bootloader locked). So far everything is working fine right after installation, I done a backup of my current StockFirmeware, if something goes wrong to have a backup ready.

After the Backup I Flashed this ROM

[ROM] [XZ] [07/03] Xperia KA02.2 Z Revolution ™ |

... via CWM, before the installation of course I wiped the Z, that nothing can go wrong ... I thought (backup?) ... The installation went smoothly, rebooted from the recovery and all i got was a .... Bootloop.

And here I am hanging tight since noon today.

Phone starts ... xperia logo appears, restart ... xperia logo appears, restart etc, etc. I thought I might still'm coming back into CWM, but None, no green LED on boot, if this is so, one should press on to the Volume + button to get into CWM ... doing nothing but looping again and again.

So i waited all day long until the battery was empty. After that i connected the Phone for hour to the charger. After an hour of loading time i tried to turn the phone back on ... But still no green LED .... Bootloop continue.

So i let the battery empty iself again. This time I connected the Phone via USB without switching on. Started the Sony Flashtool pressed the Volume- key and the Xperia connected to the Software, but due the Locked Bootloader i can´t to nothing.

That´s what i have been tried to bring this thing back to Life ...

Hope that anybody can help me get rid of this Silly situation :)

and BTW: SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH !!!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrylhp:
You can try Sony Update Service.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julianoo:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastawindu:
For those who have the same issue, try too re-flash the firmware following the procedure below :

1/ Follow the procedure for flashtool

Tick erase data if it still does not work

2/ Wait for flashtool to tell you to conned your Xperia Z

When it does get ready to connect it (step 3)

3/ Wait for you bootloop cycle end

--> Wait for the screen to turn black

--> Once it's black press and hold volume down

--> Connect your Xperia Z to PC

Step 3 must be done really quickly before the bootloop cycle restarts.

Hope this helps !

if it does press thanks button
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alireza771:
Thank u

I did this procedure and it worked

My xperia z connected to pc in flashmode in step 3

And i flashed kernel and rom after that

Can anyone give me some good ideas for a new USB cord to charge my Gnexus. I've been through 3 already, the OEM one,an HTC one , and generic one since last august when I got my phone . none seem to last too long before they either stop charging like the OEM cable or get wigglely inside the charging port like the HTC and generic charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Something is wrong with your USB port then because I've used just about every micro USB cable I have (at least 6 different ones including the original and a generic one) and none have had a single issue for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I don't know I haven't touched with anything strange it looks exactly the way I got out of the box. I had the same issue with my Dinc 1 as well . I think maybe its because i use it in landscape all the time.

i do it in 1 step, or 2 if u want...

download xda-developers' SPECIAL ROM 1.2

it will unlock the xda for u all by itself. thats step 1!

and if u like this rom. thats it! you're DONE!

if u dont, then go to kitchen and make your own ROM

and upgrade to IT (after the 1.2 ofcourse)

:)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
There are many types of pocket pc and many kinds of connecter, most pocket pc's dont need unlocking as they have no ability to access the phone network without further hardware. If you have an xda to unlock you will find the details on this site to make a cable, alternatively you can buy one from ebay.

So there's one app on my Nexus 4 w/ latest ParanoidAndroid build that is very iffy with syncing.

It's called Heywire - an internet-based voice/text messaging app.

There are times when I don't get a notification until I wake my phone - it doesn't need to be in deep sleep; just have the display turn off by pressing the power button etc.

None of my other apps appear to do this, only Heywire.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZachNCheese:
I am trying to root my 1st generation Kindle Fire with Kindle Fire Utility Root v9.6 and (Like many) I am unable to install the necessary drivers because they are unsigned. However, my question is not how to sign them (Although that would be helpful, too), are they even necessary? When I Click the "run.bat" file found under the "install_drivers.bat" file it comes up fine even though I didn't install them. I wanted to make sure because I am scared to break my Kindle. Thank you for your help.

-Zach
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobiascuypers:
Yes they are necessary for your device to communicate properly with your Computer.

When you click on the run.bat of course it comes up fine. You dont need a separate set of drivers to run a batch file?!

but in the run.bat if you noticed it says your device is offline and boot is unknown. After you install the drivers it will then say your device is online and boot is 4000. then your all good to go!
[LG Optimus G (International)] keifer77:
Okay, im wishing I wouldve left my phone alone after this jelly bean ota. I had my phone rooted and was planning on keeping it rooted WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader. But I thought what could go wrong........So I freegeed and had to KDZ the 4.1.2. lost root but got that back. Unfortunately Im having some force close issues and I have no idea why. Chrome and dolphin browser were force closing so I tried fixing permissions with rom manager but that didnt help (only seemed to fix permissions halfway and then stop for some reason...). I then tried to clear data and cache for them but that didnt help. I tried uninstallling them and reinstalling, but that only helped for chrome. I really want LBE permissions guard to work but everytime that app starts it forces the phone into a boot loop. Does anybody know whats going on? I wish I never tried freegee..... :crying:

I just bought a used working 777.It has a cracked screen.I aim to replace it screen(been doing that with cappys).I haven't got the phone in hand yet but am reading up on it.Was wondering if 9100 screen is compatible?

Ive been playing around w/captivates for a couple of years.I've enjoyed that phone.Just bought wife new 777.Thought I'd experiment with one.This phone supposedly has supernexus rom.On my cappys have prefers CWM7.2

with glitch kernel.Prefer gb Tom's,at least on captivate.Would CWM 7.2 run well on 777?

Can't wait to start playing with the 777.Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.thnx,rbb1robert:thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
On the i777, recovery is in the kernel. I think the latest CWM I've seen on here is 6.0 and minor revisions of it. As for the screen fitting, it likely would, but I would look into it more first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fiffan86:
The screen for i9100 has a hole where the physical button is, which the i777 does not have. So I would say no. Even if it did work you wouldn't have a home button....I haven't tried cm 7 for the i777. I personally use captivating x4 Rom which is based off of cm 10.1 with ajk kernel.

Thnx for replies.

I got the used 777 in hand today,so,so starts the fun!It works with the cracked screen,so that will be when I find deal on screens.

I'm assuming this phone came stock w/gb like my wife's phone.Now it has supernexus.My ? is,can u tell if it has gb bootloaders?My first thought is Odin/simply stock.Then flash corn kernel for cwm.From there root and flash.

If this phone is as indistructable as the captivate,it should give me hours of experimenting.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] CL3P20:
Q - Solavei and Straight-Talk are both just authorized roaming carriers that piggy-back on the Tmobile network... so as long as Tmo has cut-in LTE in your area.. is there any reason why you wouldnt get LTE coverage on them?

I believe straight talk offers service from both AT&T and T-Mobile. When you purchased your SIM, if you chose the option for T-Mobile, the new apn should work. Do you recall who's service you chose?
