re: Wrong Forum

You are in the wrong place if you have a GT-9300 and if you flash any roms found here

in this forum it will most likely brick your phone.

It is true that your phone will work on any network but none of the roms,

kernels and modems found here are compatible with it.

This forum is only for Tmobile T999 or other compatible models which your phone is not.

So if people give you download links or you find download links here to flash roms or other

things most all of them will likely brick your phone if you download and install any of them.

Here is the correct link for the GT-9300 Galaxy S3 phone:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563

You will find everything you need in that forum including

roms, mods and help for any issues you may be having.

Good Luck!

Hey guys so I need some help as well. Something similar happened to me like the OP except mines a bit different.

My phone first started freaking out that it would turn the screen off soon after I unlocked it. Then the power menu would come up sometimes too so I thought that the power button might be bad? Then all of a sudden my phone turned off. I turned it on it got to the SG3 sign went away in a couple seconds and went black. Press power button again same thing happens. I've been able to get into recovery mode twice and each time my phone turned off again a few seconds after I was in.

I can get to the screen where you hold the volume down, power, and home buttons (not sure what its called bootloader?) it stays there for a while but eventually will turn off.

I think it keeps restarting itself too, it will vibrate and the SG3 logo will pop up for a second and go away. It doesnt restart right away though it takes like 30 seconds or so.

Now coming from the NS, I'm not familiar with Odin. I used it once to root and thats it. Havent opened it since November. Also if I remember correctly I wasn't able to root it on my Mac, it wouldnt work but when I did it on the PC it was fine, which I wont have access for, for at least 2 weeks.

The instructions on the first page, is that a viable option for me? Also do I need a PC or do you think a Mac will be fine? If not then I'll switch sims and go to my NS for a while.

ANy help is appreciated thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tankmaster90:
okk so i'm trying to do this now but I'm running into problems. I'm doing what was said on the first page with using odin and putting in stock rooted firmware and I get my phone into download mode, I have odin set up click run then my phone screen goes black and on odin it says removed.

Now i'm not removing it, but here's the code from odin, and also when I hold the buttons to get back into download mode on my phone this is what I see note when i do this, i dont go through that screen where it says press volume up to continue, it just gives a ltl vibrate and shows this screen instantly. Try odin again and black screen again

Odin code:

For anyone else who could be having this problem...

Honestly I had something similar to this before. Try a new USB cable and make sure it fits nice and snug. A loose one can cause this to happen. Don't forget to install drivers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tankmaster90:
When you say install drivers, does installing kies install the necessary drivers?? If not where can I get them from? And I'll try out different USB cables in a bit.

But I honestly doubt thats the problem, because even without the cable my phone keeps turning off as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
You can get them off Samsung's site.

Not only try different usb cables but also try different ports and run through all the troubleshooting steps all over again on another pc if necessary. You've got plenty of options to experiment with. You just gotta find out which mix your phone favors.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
+1. This in a nutshell.

Make sure you install the drivers for x86 if you're on a 32 bit OS, install the 64-bit driver on a 64-bit OS. You will know if you have done so correctly if you see SAMSUNG USB COMPOSITE DRIVER under ODIN. Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PaulIvan:
I got sick and tired of trying new ports, new PCs and new usb cables so I had mine sent away to samsung for repairs. The problem was just too complex for me.

Thank you for help anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tankmaster90:
I'll get to another PC later to try it out, but I honestly think it has all to do with my phone.

Consider this, Odin fails everytime my phone screen turns off.

When I'm not plugged into the computer I turn my phone on it stays on that screen for about 10 seconds and then turns off. And every time I turn it on it does the same thing.

Someone told me my battery might be bad, I don't even know if I can charge my battery. To note I've been taking my battery out every time when I'm not using it. But last night to make sure its charged I plugged it into the charger. The same screen came up for about 10 seconds then phone went black turned off. I didn't get any indication that the phone was even charging. No LED light, nothing on the screen and every time I press the power button the phone vibrates that screen comes up and turns off in ten seconds.

Later today I'll put another friends battery in my GS3 and see if my phone stays on longer. I wont have a computer at that time, but I'll borrow her battery if my phone seems to say on longer then 10 seconds. That and I'll try my battery in her phone to see if theres any power in it and possibly make her charge my battery as well.

I think this may be more hardware than software at this point, or a combo of both I dunno

How much did it cost you?? I have that counter thing on 1 when I rooted it so I won't be covered under warranty....

I'm using my nexus s which is great, I love 4.2.2 its just really slow since it is 2.5 years old at this point.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PaulIvan:
That's the thing, it didn't cost me anything as I'm covered by the warranty...

But I don't think it'd cost you too much anyway.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: this should fix it

Have you tried this? - It should work every time.

Here is the step by step guide:

After you have followed these instructions your phone will be in the same condition

as it was the day you have purchased it except with the benifit of being rooted.

Download the stock-rooted T999 firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451

After downloading it make a folder on your desktop and unzip the file

using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Here is a link for ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app) http://d-h.st/Q14

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file.

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

Good Luck!

I see, well my counter shows up at 1, and the face that my screen is cracked shows i dropped my phone. That was a couple months ago. But anyway they might say the drop caused some hardware to short somewhere??

I'm pretty sure its a hardware problem at least.
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] opethfan89:
Hi all!!

I bought Bobjgear branded Hard side travel bag & a silicone case a few months back after my TF300T fell off my dresser onto a corner and suffered catastrophic damage. I've never actually used the travel bag, and the silicone case is good but the tablet gets heavy to hold so I have reverted to using my case with a stand.

My question is, is there anywhere I can go to sell or trade for this item, since the marketplace has been shut down? Not trying to violate any forum rules here, but I didn't know if there was a 3rd party community marketplace or something else set up that I wasn't aware of. [As an aside, it says asking a question is breaking forum rules, but then how can one get an opinion on an accessory or gadget without asking a question? I'm confused....:confused:]

For anyone who only uses the tablet at home and not holding it for extended (>30min) length of time, I'd greatly recommend the silicone case! I can't really review the hard sided travel case as its still sitting in its original plastic wrap.

Thanks alot!

You need to long press the file to bring up a menu, and from there you can Open in Text Editor.

No prob - and just to be sure, the long press occurs BEFORE the file is open and you can see the text. Fwiw I have the pay version of root explorer, so maybe the free one doesn't have a text editor...? I'm really not sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Have you extracted the zip already? I use es file Explorer. With it go to your download folder and long press the zip and select extract. Then navigate to the install file and click on it. It should open right up. Once in the file just tap to bring up the keyboard. Once done save, move that folder to your root of sd abs enjoy the goodness.

[Q] USB BOS descriptor failed, "waiting for device", "Device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Hello :)

The situation:

I'm trying to relock the bootloader and flash RUU, so that I can get rid of the tampered flag and start over.

I'm trying to use Hasoon2000's Toolkit to do this, but I'll try any method that sounds reasonable.

When I connect the HTC One S to the PC (running Windows 8) and select 'Mount as disk drive', the PC recognizes the device, and I can explore it. Using Hasoon's toolkit I select "Relock Bootloader" and click "Do Command". A first command prompt pops up, then my phone goes into fastboot, then I close the first prompt, then a second prompt follows and says "waiting for device".

I enter the Device Manager -> "Android USB Devices" -> "My HTC", -> Right click -> "Properties". In the Device Status field it says:

"This device cannot start. (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed."

EXTRA INFO:

I didn't use Hasoon's toolkit to unlock the bootloader, I actually used the platform-tools from the SKD bundle thru the terminal on a mac pc. Then I flashed CWM onto the One S using "./fastboot flash recovery recovery_thefilename.zip". Then I reloaded bootloader, selected Recovery, then my phone's screen went black, turned back on, and I saw the Red Triangle with the Exclamation mark. According to a "How to" blog, which I didn't read until after the fact, I was supposed to hold down the power button and volume button at that point in time, but I didn't. I had no idea what was going on. I pressed the power button and my phone restarted, and now every time I reboot to recovery mode, it just restarts the phone and says "This build is for development purposes only. Any redistribution will result in legal action." or something like that.

OK THAT'S ALL.

I appreciate any help!

[HTC One S] real187:
The text in red is normal if you have a custom recovery.

Just get the device in fastboot USB mode.

Check with command: fastboot devices

To see if it is connected. I should return you sn number.

(Since you manually unlocked, this should be easy for u.)

Then manually flash a correct recovery (or use the toolkit with the custom option). Reboot in recovery. Flash ROM.

Can you try to execute fastboot oem lock command on Windows OS which have hTC drivers installed? I guess that you using Linux OS now... Just install Windows in VM and hTC drivers, adb and fastboot you can download on htcdev.com or from android bundle package... I'm pretty sure that you have problem with your drivers...

USB 3.0 might be the issue

Hey guys, thanks for trying to help me out here, I appreciate it a bunch!

Before I go any further. I think I've learned what the problem is. Well, first of all, if you didn't catch it, I've been working thru this on both win and apple computers.

Hasoon's toolkit is only available for windows. Therefore, if I said/say I did something with his toolkit, that means I was using my win computer, which is actually a Surface Pro, which has USB 3.0 === THE PROBLEM :cowboy:

According to this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29286429

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test this hypothesis, yet, because I first need to find a win pc with USB 2.0. [Fact: I couldn't get androidfiletransfer.app to recognize my htc one S on my mac. Coincidence?]

real187: When you say to install a "correct" recovery, are you implying I currently have an incorrect recovery on my phone?

mikronac: I have virtually no experience with command prompt. I just got my

Surface Pro

last week :laugh: and I'm geeking out...So, what I'm saying is I don't know how to do "fastboot oem lock command" ... The htc drivers are installed, up-to-date and operating without a hitch.
[HTC One S] mikronac.ns:
It can't be problematic your usb 3.0.

Please deinstall your phone drivers and install them again...

If you know how to navigate to platform tools folder in Windows Explorer, only what you need to do is to hold shift key on keyboard and right click on mouse and select option open command prompt here. Than you type :

Adb devices

Response should be serial number of phone

Adb reboot bootloader (uab debugging must be enabled)

When it reboot in fastboot, type in cmd:

Fastboot oem lock

I can confirm: It is USB 3.0

Hi, today I faced similar problem while trying to put my Sony Xperia S into fastboot. Only after finding this topic and switching from USB3.0 port to USB 2.0 did I manage to boot into fastboot. I have not tested, if I can boot into fastboot now, that the driver has been correctly installed via USB 2.0, but to avoid any troubles I suggest everyone to stick with USB2.0 for now.

I found this topic as I had the exact same error in Device Manager as OP in this topic.

I know it has been a long time but I just encountered the same problem with fastboot, an HTC One S and Windows 8.1. These steps from Microsoft (a registry edit workaround) enabled my computer to recognize the device and got fastboot seeing it too:

I'll paste the workaround here in case Microsoft take the page down:

On mine that meant editing a registry key called 0BB40FF00100 that already existed.
