[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamers21:
Hello.

Currently I have Samsung GT-I9300 (international edition ) that I bought from UAE. But I am already in Indonesia right now.

My s3 is currently at boot loop.

After digging around in the forum, I found a number of things to try.

Here is the list of things I have done:

1. I tried flashing stock rom using odin pc. The stock I used is the newest ( I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE). Result from ODIN: Succeed. But the boot loop is still looping!!

2.Then I tried flashing cmw recovery because I can't get into recovery at all. After flashing, there's red exclamation mark on upper left corner with the Samsung logo. And still cannot get into recovery using the combo (vol up+home+power) button, it wouldnt go into recovery at all and keep showing me the samsung logo.

3.Next I tried flashing the rescue firmware in i9000 post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40509099#post40509099). I used the XXELLA. Flashed the pit, csc, pda and bootloader. The boot loop still persist.

4.The last thing I did is bring it to Samsung service center. They tried flashing their current (Indonesian) stock rom but the problem also persists. They advised that I need to change the mainboard in UAE where the phone is originally from. They said because after changing mainboard , they need to re inject IMEI. And can only do that in original country. And they informed me the flash also succeed thru odin, it's just the boot loop is still looping...

In download mode the product name still presents. (I read a post in this forum saying if the product name still persists then the mainboard is not fried (is the information correct?)

And all flashing thru odin give me succeed message.This indicates my mainboard is still safe.

My problem now is I cannot get into reocvery and the boot loop persists.

I believe that my problem would be not being able to wipe data /cache as I can't get into recovery mode.

So my question is can I wipe data and cache using odin ? If yes, coudd anyone tell me how?

Also, please advise me on what else to try on my S3.

I am really desperate and out of ideas.

Your help would be greatly appreciated !

Thank you.

Awww. Somebody needs to help the poor guy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hIVESaRELaW:
I'm not sure if this helps, but I have two points:

the red exclamation mark is usual after flashing non-Samsung images.

If you check "Re-Partition" in Odin, the data should be wiped.

DISCLAIMER: No guaranty! Your're using Odin at your own risk :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
If you have wiped data it old be damaged NAND flashing stock and a data wipe should fix any software problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamers21:
Hi JJE,

so the symptoms i posted point to a damanged Nand?

would it be posssible that the Nand is damaged and i still manage to flash stock rom via ODIN without any error message?

thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
One flash stock rom = failed .

Two Recovery = failed

Flash Rescue firmware = failed

Service centre answer = needs a motherboard .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaspernemec:
Nand is most likely fried...however if not, try flashing with repartition and pit, you cannot loose much if your phone doesnt work anyways. BTW, on which firmware/kernel dis this occur?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamers21:
Hi.

I have tried repartitioning using the rescue firmware. Still boot loop.

I cant remember the firmware/kernel the s3 had.

Anyway, i guess now i have confirmed that my s3 is dead.

:(

nevertheless, thank you guys for responding.

Cheers.

[One (M7) General] Huey85:
With the latest update (available on non branded devices and devices with unlocked bootloaders) the sensitivity has been increased for the capacitive buttons. Might want to look into it.

My only real gripe is the power button flushness.
[One (M7) General] aussiesausage:
Yep I'm with you on the power button. Sometimes I go to press it and it doesn't actually go in. Gotta get a real grip on it.
[One (M7) General] pablo11:
If you are S-Off you do not have to re-lock your bootloader. That is why you get S-Off.

I did it with a Telstra device - bootloader unlocked and no MID change needed. I wrote CID 11111111 to my bootloader before I flashed.

You can see my results in the firmware thread if you like........

Always read, read and read some more before you do this..................

[One (M7) General] cheetah2k:
With my Black Telstra 32gb, I ended up S-Off + unlocked bootloader then flashed the Asia WWE and changed the CID to HTC__044 and no issues with OTA's or anything else. Rocking 1.29.707.16.

Certainly is way better than the Telstra FW, especially the capacitive buttons. They actually work now ! lol
[One (M7) General] archheretic:
I know this question has sort of been asked before, but I'm still confused. Cid getter tells me cid is 039, yet advanced task manager tells me brand: optus_au. Definitely don't want to be waiting for optus updates.... Bought outright from **** Smith, wasn't one of the optus branded ones... maybe I need to change my cid but looks like such a hassle
[One (M7) General] Huey85:
Don't worry, your CID is HTC__039 so it is unbranded and you won't need to wait for Optus for your updates. Are you using the Optus network?
[One (M7) General] archheretic:
I'm using Telstra, so confused as to where the mention of optus comes in. That's a relief, thanks. Was thinking otherwise I'd need to change my cid...
[One (M7) General] blazerxzero:
HTC_039

I've been trying to do some research but can't find much.

If someone has any information could they please clarify

How do owners of HTC_039 HTC Ones get updates?

This phone is an unlocked/unbranded model (international) model, however from what I gather it is actually a special unbranded Optus model. As the phone carries some strings related to Optus.

Owners are currently running 1.29.980.2 (rather dated build of the software which doesn't contain the capacitive button fix).

We do not fall under the WWE (World Wide Edition) so cannot run RUUs made for that CID, we do not get OTA updates from Optus since our phones are not CID: OPTUS_001 so I hope HTC haven't forgotten about us, otherwise that is going to suck and it's going to be root/superCID for us....

Thoughts??
[One (M7) General] djason89:
I've heard that unbranded phones in Australia have to pass all carrier tests (Optus, telstra etc) before getting the ota updates. So in this case it'll be after branded phones get their updates but I could be mistaken.
[One (M7) General] loopism:
That doesn't sound right ...
[One (M7) General] archheretic:
Hmmm I have heard something similar regarding Samsung phones before, whereas unlocked phones don't get updates until locked do as well. I remember the s2 unlocked got the update after some carriers...anyway apparently Vodafone has the update in testing now, so surely Optus does too, worst case. Would be nice to somehow get some clarity though...
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Does anyone want a 1.29.980.17 nandroid?

What do you need to get OTA updates after flashing a stock nandroid? Restore or have never flashed your bootloader? Not be rooted?
[One (M7) General] blazerxzero:
I didn't know 1.29.980.17 existed. Where does it come from?

I believe all you need is stock recovery (and maybe also kernal) to get OTA, you may lose root if you are rooted , but you can use apps like root keeper to have root even after OTA.

I just hope HTC_039 users don't get left out.
[One (M7) General] Rex2369:
So far I haven't seen that OTA update. Handsets that's been purchased lately have that version already.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
I meant 'recovery' when I wrote bootloader! I blame it on being Friday night. My HTC__039 came with 1.29.980.17 out of the box. I would have posted this on BugsyLawson's thread but he's off for awhile.

I've played around with a few custom ROMs but am currently back on stock ROM, S-off, CWM as .17 is good enough for me. Sounds like all I need to do if an OTA arrives is re-flash my saved recovery.
[One (M7) General] leighaus:
mines optus, came with 1.29.980.2 from the box. no available updates:laugh:
[One (M7) General] Terra1:
That's like a bad April fools joke. That's not going to happen............ I hope that's not right............

Just bought unbranded HTC One 64GB from Harvey Norman today and it is 1.29.980.17 out of the box. Hope to get the 4.2.2 update soon as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347288 it is rolling out.
[One (M7) General] anthonypiccolo:
My sister is looking for a new phone. I've suggested the HTC One and she is looking to purchase it from JB Hi-Fi put in her Optus sim as she has just 2-3 months left on her plan and then she will move over to Vaya for better value.

She'd probably be better off getting the Google edition of the phone but who knows if that will be released in Australia. Has the stock Google edition ROM been made available for this phone? If not, I guess I'll just root and flash the phone with CM 10.
[One (M7) General] snachez:
GE Stock ROM is availble for flashing. If she likes facebook and takes photos, she'll be better staying with Sense though.

Blinkfeed and the Sense Camrea + Zoe are actually really good, and are not available on GE.
[One (M7) General] MIBLegend:
You can search in youtube for pocketnow channel, the guy there will walk you through how to install GE ROM on your HTC One in 10 minutes or you can search some post right in this forum.
[One (M7) General] anthonypiccolo:
Looks like you don't get OTA updates with Google Edition stock ROM. Probably better to just go with CM then.

There wasn't much difference between Sense Camera and the GE. The Verge did a comparison on this. Not really sure the point of Zoe. Doesn't Google+ offer something similar anyway?

I'm assuming the camera on CM will be similar to how it is on the GE.
[One (M7) General] rockuman_ex:
apparently the International version (taiwan) just received OTA today.

Any news for us aussies, specially the HTC__039 ones?
[One (M7) General] gregneal:
Don't flash CM. Just don't. There are lots of issues/bugs and she just won't be as happy with it as she would with stock.

Tell her to buy the HTC One from harvey norman. don't have to pay for it for 2 years, interest free. But don't mod it, let her keep it total stock.

+1 for Vaya though, that company is amazing.

is the update info for the telstra HTC One.
[One (M7) General] anthonypiccolo:
Getting from JB because she has a ~$350 credit there so she is getting the phone nice and cheap. We'll see. If she doesn't like Sense after a few days I'll probably end up flashing with CM. She has CM 10.1 on her current SGS2 and it's been fine.
[One (M7) General] macdaddyau:
Guys jump on to Rayglobe Rom. Is best one from a few that I tried.
[One (M7) General] jalati:
A tutorial would be great. I would like to know how, but also what the benefits of firmware.zip are and links of course the the files! Would be greatly appreciated! :D

EDIT: One Question: am i right in saying that if i do firmware.zip then i don't need to do radio? And is radio the same as baseband?
[One (M7) General] snachez:
If you flash the current 2.17 firmware, it will also update your radio to latest .24 at the same time. Yes they are the same :good:
[One (M7) General] atze33:
Hi all. I'm going to be getting the HTC One next week and I just wanted to asked a question or two regarding the Australian version.

I'm on contract with Optus, so I'll be purchasing the Optus variant.

I've only recently discovered the process of rooting the phone and flashing a ROM (preferably a GE ROM later on). I have a good idea of the process but I'm still worried about bricking the phone, so I still have a fair bit to learn.

Would the process of unlocking the bootloader work the same way as it does in the States?

Has anyone with the Optus version been able to successfully root their One and install ROMs normally or is there a different method of doing so?

Pardon the lack of technical knowledge. I'm still learning.
[One (M7) General] oblivianz:
Yeah, I have an Optus HTC One and I've successful unlocked, rooted, S-OFF (revone), and super CID it. It can do everything that a phone from the US can do. Also smoothly running a custom ROM (ARHD 11.5) on it as well :).
[One (M7) General] atze33:
Awesome! Thanks for the reply, mate. :)

One more question, what's the main purpose for S-OFF (revone) and super CID? Are these essential when rooting the device?
[One (M7) General] loopism:
Nope, really the only time S-Off is required is to flash a new kernel
[One (M7) General] oblivianz:
I did both of it for the purpose of upgrading the firmware. I didn't have the patience to wait for Optus to roll out their OTA updates. I flashed the custom firmware made by Mike and it improved the touch screen as well as the 'long press home for menu' issue, others reported the same improvements as well. Hope that helps mate. S-OFF and Super CID in a nutshell gives you greater control over your phone to do more upgrades, however your phone will be at higher risk to bricks etc. Coming from a Galaxy S2, I was pretty much clueless on how to S-OFF and Super CID, but with some reading on xda and help with some YouTube videos I managed to got it done successfully. It was pretty simply, you just gotta follow the instructions step by step :)

Also try to unlock and root it without using htcdev. If you use the htcdev method, you will void your warranty and have no way of getting it back to its original state again. However if you use the revone method, and anything is to happen to your phone, you can restore it to a state that seems like you've never tampered with it. I used the htcdev method to unlock my phone but it was only because revone wasn't released at the time. I doubt anything would happen to my phone over the next year or 2 but if I were to have the option now, I'd definitely go with using revone instead of htcdev, simply because it avoids voiding warranty :p
[One (M7) General] atze33:
Sounds good. I never would've thought that there would be a method of rooting your device other than using htcdev.

Thanks again for your responses, helped a lot! :)
[One (M7) General] cheetah2k:
..... and to flash any other RUU other than the fcuking **** that is Telstra firmware....
[One (M7) General] loopism:
Who flashes an RUU? And to tell the truth, those who complain of Telstra Bloat have rocks in their head. the only app that Telstra put into /system is the Telstra One app.

Admittedly, I don't run the carrier software, but that was because I wanted 4.2.2 - and my device is still S-On
[One (M7) General] anthonypiccolo:
I'm still on an SGS2. My sister just got the HTC One. I'm going to unlock the bootloader and flash a ROM. Are you saying that I can't flash different modems and kernels unless I have S-Off? I've never even heard of this before. She bought the phone outright and unlocked, so is S-Off only required when the phone has been purchased from a carrier?
[One (M7) General] poondog:
The 'modem' which is called firmware in htcland needs s-off to be flashed.

You can flash ROMs and kernels with dev unlock but not much more

I liken dev unlock to say its half unlocked lol

I would s-off (make sure you are 100% with how to do it) so that you can flash firmware and stuff. With the one x, because they couldn't s-off they had to wait for an ota from their carrier to install jellybean firmware. This meant that optus people had to wait for them to roll out optus ota, then re lock bootloader, flash stock optus ROM and take the ota to 4.1.2 to get the new firmware etc

Much easier in the long run to s-off now imo :)
[One (M7) General] zehoo2:
They also removed the ability to mute the camera noise which gets annoying. Haven't changed my rom yet but that's more since I couldn't be bothered.
[One (M7) General] cheetah2k:
I know plenty of people flashing stock RUU's to get away from carrier firmware. And did I say anything about bloat? The worst thing about Telstra FW is waiting for the updates that NEVER come!!!!! :good: Fk man you should learn to read
[One (M7) General] mechjman:
Hey guys, any of you received an 4.2.2 update for HTC__039 model yet?

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

Should calm down and re-assess your stance on Telstra...

http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2013/0...e-software-updates-telstra-optus-vodafone-30/

Normally vodafone are very fast with their update rollouts and optus is near non-existent but Telstra is winning this race
[One (M7) General] Hellscythe:
anyone here got an ruu for HTC_039 australian unbranded?

my friend needs one after he soft bricked...

and he cant get supercid to work either
[One (M7) General] squabbi:
I don't think there is a RUU for the unbranded one... I had to use a cwm backup to restore.

Also to get super cid you need s-off...

:)
[One (M7) General] cheetah2k:
My stance on Telstra doesn't change. The 1.29 rom is on version 16 in most regions, and yet Telstra is still on version 2. The fact of the mater is that Telstra somehow got the Black HTC1 exclusive in Aus, so everyone who wanted black on another carrier (like me) was forced to buy one outright unlocked. Then Telstra refused to make any updates to the 1.29 firmware which included many necessary fixes and enhancements.

So now those who have stuck with the Telstra FW have to wait till 4.2.2. comes - when this will be who da fuk knows. Sure Lifehacker updates show that Telstra are finally moving, but the release could be months away - I mean look here on their last updates

http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Handset-updates-17-June/td-p/164626

They were waiting for the for initial vendor submission mid June, and nothing heard since then... Initial Vendor Submission means they're waiting for the 4.2.2 update from HTC...... As I said, its going to be months away, and I'm willing to put a couple of hundred AUD on that fact

:laugh:

Better off not using SuperCID, rather use the fastboot oem writecid xxxxx command...
[One (M7) General] loopism:
Easy tiger ... breathe ......

Users who flash an RUU to get away from carrier software often claim to so so to avoid carrier bloat, hence my comment. I feel that if users want to avoid claimed "bloat" then stay away from any RUU and flash a custom ROM.
[One (M7) General] oblivianz:
Has anyone yet to try the new radio that was included in the new 4.2.2 firmware? Keen to see how results are in Australia as well as with different networks.
[One (M7) General] Rex2369:
Hi cheetah2k, on a different topic. Did you get the 2.24.XXX.X OTA yet?

I had to change my CID to HTC__Y13 and I got the OTA. I'm on 2.24.401.1 now and loving it. I hope you got the same.
[One (M7) General] cheetah2k:
Still no OTA on 1.29.707.16.....

No matter, it will come soon enough :)

[One (M7) General] teiva:
Still waiting for Optus to announce some sort of update to 4.2.2. Currently on the older version of 4.1.2 firmware.
[One (M7) General] Linda2013:
I'm with Optus and running 4.2.2 with the updated radio firmware. No issues at all so far. Indeed I noticed some improvements with regarding LTE but honestly that may depends on some Optus changes in the past few days and not necessarily to the radio firmware. Hard to tell. Overall I'm very happy with 4.2.2.

Cheers
[One (M7) General] binodnepal:
Did you get 4.2.2 over ota?

Thanks
[One (M7) General] oblivianz:
That's interesting. I'm on Optus as well and I've noticed that download speeds weren't as fast as previous radios, I tested it using speedtest. Radio .15 seem to have gave me the best speeds surprisingly.
[One (M7) General] poondog:
Lol

Do optus devices show up as PN071 or is that all ones? I had to change mine

I reckon a lot of radio stuff is placebo but that said u haven't tried changing radio on the one yet

On another off topic note, how much data does it take for an average speed test for you guys? I ran one and it used ~4mb on 3G in docklands

But I've seen one that's 20mb on 4G

What's normal?
[One (M7) General] Linda2013:
Obviously I had to change the MID/CID, then flash with WWE RUU and finally I got the update over OTA.
[One (M7) General] rockuman_ex:
Mind telling us the steps?

I'm sick of waiting... :banghead:
