my friend angel was listening to music on his htc evo 3d while it was charging and suddenly he hears a zap like sound and his phone shuts off and dosnt turn off the power port is ok i dont know what the problem is can anyone help i ordered a new battery and it still doesnt work
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Zap sounds could be a blown capacitor or something else on the motherboard that got fried. If a new battery doesn't fix it and the power port is working, it might need a motherboard replacement. I'd take it to your carrier for repairs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradhoschar:
Here's the issue. I purchased the At&t s3 (SGH-I747) last year. Long story short, I wanted to go to T-Mobile prepaid with the same phone.

I purchased the SIM activation kit for $10, popped my SIM in and it worked!

Before I put the SIM in it though, I paid for an unlock code. I still have the code.

No 'Network Unlock' screen.

No prompt for my unlock code.

I am getting H+ speeds with the at&t s3 on T-Mobile prepaid without doing ANYTHING.

My question is:

Why cant I get to the unlock screen? I have tried to dial "#7465625*638*# for the prompt to popup and NOTHING.

Can someone tell me...

1. Can I flash a T-mobile rom to this phone? (every time i try I get a build.prop error, even after changing the model to the T999 and all that jazz),

so I can't install a T-Mo rom?

2. Do I have to flash a modem/radio or anything else like that?

3. Or, should I just continue to flash At&t Roms with the t-mo prepaid sim?

I have searched for a while now, and noone has my problem. I never expected to just switch sim's and it would work, so ANY help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Okaham:
since your device is still an AT&T branded Galaxy S III (SGH-i747), you must keep with ROMs designed for that phone. flashing T-Mobile branded Galaxy S III (SGH-T999) ROMs will brick your device, same thing goes for flashing modems.

just because your SIM and Carrier is now T-Mobile, doesn't mean your phone is.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tower_gilead:
You got that right.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Wrong. Flashing an rom meant for the AT&T variant of the S3 on a T-Mobile variant S3 and vice versa will not brick the device. APN setting may get messed up and you have to enter them manually but it will not brick the device. Flashing a ROM for the international S3 on a U.S. variant of the S3 and vice versa will brick the device.

I wouldn't recommend flashing modems between the variants of S3s, that may or may not brick the device but wouldn't try it.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

If you want to unlock the S3 (you must be stock to do this, stocked rooted may work, but I'm not sure):

Just dial the following keys *#197328640#

Main Menu

[1] UMTS

[1] Debug Screen

[8] Phone Control

[6] Network Lock

Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF

(after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in

[6] Network Lock then choose

[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone

Hello.

If you have signal then why are you trying to use the code? It is unlocked already!

im not an expert but this is what i know from reading a lot:

1.- I installed a t-mobile (t999) rom modified to work in a att s3 (i747), i think you can flash a any rom from the t999 section (i am not sure about this)

2.- Do NOT try to install a modem from t-mobile or you will hard brick your phone.

3.- Thats a good idea, do it and let me know if it works.

I used this files to convert an i747 to a t999 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771021&page=25 (read from post #246) so now i use customs roms for the t999 i did it because where i live do not have good signal, was stuck at edge and with those files now i have 3g signal.

Btw, i am in the $30 prepaid t mo plan.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: Hmm

#1: If you have a Unlocked AT&T I747 Galaxy S3 you don't need any files to convert it to work on any T999 Tmobile roms.

#2: You can use any T999 Tmobile custom roms as long as you have an Unlocked & Rooted AT&T Galaxy S3 I747 Phone.

#3: There is no such thing as installing or flashing any files which would would change the frequency for 3G on a I747 phone.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradhoschar:
That is not true. Before following these instructions ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771021&page=25 ) I could NOT install any t-mo rom as CWM verifies the make/model before installing the rom.

Hence, me having the 'installation cannot continue' build.prop=d2att.

So, now AFTER flashing the 4 files, I was able to install 3 different T-Mobile ROMS. XTREMEPERIA ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2199018 ) was the only one that is giving me 4G. I know, I know, its all in the APN settings, but this is the only one that gave me truly 4G speeds with a T-Mo sim.

:)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: 3G/4G

You are right, clockworkmod (Rom Manager) does verify, however if you select

and flash the Tmobile T999 recovery image when flashing clockworkmod recovery

all is fine.

Another thing, if you have a unlocked i747 and flash any Tmobile cwm zip file rom as

soon as it reboots and you check the network in the phones settings it will display

"T-Mobile US" and will work properly without the need of any other files or conversions.

However the Unlocked I747 will never work with Tmobile's 3G or 4G networks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradhoschar:
Ahh...good tip about CWM

I currently have 4g on my unlocked S3 from at&t currently on T-Mobile.

And, when I was on stock, I had 3g
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: Tmobile Network.

Yes but when you were on stock you were on the AT&T network not Tmobile.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradhoschar:
No, that is incorrect. With the 4 files I flashed, I was on T-Mobile network. It was a T-Mobile ROM, T-Mobile sim, and T-Mobile radio.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Quit saying you are using a T-Mobile radio before you help someone brick their phone. The radio files are NOT interchangeable between ANY of the US variants!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradhoschar:
Oh, my bad. I thought 'modem' and 'radio' were the same thing.

THEY ARE!!!!

Notice in the picture how under the 'phone' tab, it says MODEM.

Yes, I flashed all 4, and now have a t-mobile setup on an at&t s3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
You need to specify that you are using an engineering image that T-Mobile used on the 747 before the T-999 was available to test the device. In general if you flash a T-Mobile radio image to a 747, you risk losing calls and data at minimum and a hard brick at worst. It is imperative to make sure to point out that it only works with THAT engineering set.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradhoschar:
Ahh...gotcha. Thats what it states in THAT OP, I just thought that once that build was on the phone, from that point on, any T-Mo anything would work. I did have the watermark on my wallpaper, but everything else said 't-mobile'.

But, yes in general, if you flash TMO onto AT&T, there be dragons.

Thanks all, and happy flashing!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Even with that configuration, the only thing T-Mobile you can flash is recovery and custom ROMs. A T-999 baseband or boot loader could very well cause a brick. Its a dangerous hack because it has everyone confused. For all intents and purposes, it is 747 software with T-Mobile's AWS capability. In fact it doesn't even seem to have DC-HSPA, only HSPA+ (21mbps versus 42). It has the benefit of supporting T-Mo LTE though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradhoschar:
Awesome

Very good to know! Thanks for the info. Perhaps when T-Mo refarms their LTE, I won't have to do much to this beastly phone!

Thanks all!

:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
It doesn't make sense for T-Mobile to refarm their LTE. The 1700 AWS band is the most efficient spectrum they currently own and the AWS spectrum is going to be the most compatible across LTE networks. T-Mobile has pretty much no chance of ever getting the 700MHz that at&t and Verizon are using.

Hey everyone. I heard (read) about the Mobile 2003SE with the Lanscape mode. CAN'T WAIT!!! I have a question though. I remember seeing some software that will do it for you as a stand alone program that will run some compatibility issues when trying to run certian programs. I have just upgraded to the new 4.01.16 rom and had included Pocketnester the best NES emulator I have found for these devices... Is there a way to force it to do lanscape mode??? It would be perfect to map your directional pad on the left and have the contacts and calandar buttons mapped as A and B which I currently have now but I have to hold it from the top and side. It would be awesome if I could get it to work right without having to wait for SE. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xda-rocks:
Try this:

http://www.nyditot.com/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TBCompDesign:
Awesome Software. I downloaded the trial version and it is cool. You can virtualy change the resolution, and re orient the screen. it seems that the operating system and all of the windows applications are already set to go lanscape they all filled the screen and didn't display anything past the lower half of the 240 pixels when it was oriented. All of my programs ran at the lanscape orientation (some better than others) except the pocket nester... the whole reason I was hoping to get software like this.

I have a question on the topic. I know it is an operating system that runs on our beolved cellphones as well but how are they going to re build the phone app screen. I don't see much of a fiesable way to do it in lanscape mode. it is probably something we will have to see O2 or T-Mo set up then set it up in the kitchen Is there any other ways people will be able to rewrite the phone app so it can run on the lanscape mode?

The phone does run in lanscape mode but you can't see anything past the 456 row you can't see the 789 or the *0# or the Send/End button.

who has a possible solution to this potential problem?

Try getting into recovery mode..

Remove the battery

Hold down the keys for recovery mode(without battery)

Then put the battery in..

Don't leave the keys until you get into recovery mode.. Probably you'd have to try flashing an new rom through recovery..make sure the first thing you do.on CWM is factory reset

---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

And also see if you could flash an new version of CWM through Odin
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
You were the one asking about hardbrick and now it seems you could have suffered one. What a fu**ed up coinsidence. Although for now it looks like a Soft-Brick ;)

Ok first , how many % did your battery have when you started flashing?

Second, what Firmware did you flash and where did you get it (link would be good)?

The flashing counter looks good except the the System Status. It states custom which indicates that you changed the Firmware in some way which could void warranty but not always, depends on the carrier and the Service Center.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
1) Around 50% but the amount of battery left is much much less than that. I can feel it.

2) XXDLJ4 from Sammobile. I can't find the link. But it was official firmware from UK.

I live in India. We don't have carrier specific phones yet. But I have no idea what service centre guys are going to say. I'm just gonna tell him that I was updating using kies and this happened.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Thanks for your reply but I'm unable to get into recovery mode. I tried what you said.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
XXDLJ4 is outdated and is from 2012. From what Google says it`s Android 4.1.1 . There are newer Firmwares around. The newest Firmware to my knowledge is XXEMC3. However it doesn`t matter what the Firmware is, it should work even if the Firmware is old. Do you still have the log from Odin? It would be good to see where Odin failed exactly. A screenshot would be great.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Yeah. Sure. Here you go.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Ok a friend of mine had the same issue one time with his I9000 and it helped to switch the USB Ports and then try to flash the firmware again. Also turn off every process that belongs to Kies. Go to Task manager and Kill every Kies process.

Also try to use Odin 1.85, I`ve seen people having problems with Odin 3.xx before
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
I'll do that. Give me two mins.

P.S. Can I somehow charge my phone's battery? Like through a wall socket? It shows old style downloading mode with no info whatsoever if I do that? Is it charging?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Same issue! I even reinstalled the drivers!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Nope I don`t think it`s charging. That`s why almost every flashing guide says that you should have a fully charged battery before you flash a ROM to your device.

Edit: Ok this is weird. I would try a different Firmware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Yeah I know that. But this thing has never ever happened to me. So I guess I was over-confident! :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Turn your phone off so the battery won`t die. Then download the latest Firmware and flash it the same way you did before. This is the only thing that you could do to my knowledge.

Do you have a Custom ROM on your phones internal or external SD? If yes you could follow up on BHARGAV33`s tip to flash CWM Recovery through Odin and then try to access Recovery and afterwards wipe data and flash a new ROM.

"NAND Erase All" is worth trying?

Doing that only for the some past hours. No, I'm unable to get into recovery in the way he said. I've already tried it. I searched around on forum & some people were able to tackle their issue by flashing a complete firmware with 3 files. I download the whole firmware which had 3 files but still no luck. I'm going crazy over here, should I just give my phone to Samsung Care and let them deal with it? Or is there anything left to try?

And BTW, I gotta ask, what exactly happens if someone ticks "NAND Erase All" in odin when flashing a firmware. I've not done this because according to me, it's not advisable to play with things which you don't know about.

1) So, what does "NAND Erase All" in odin do exactly?

2) Will it somehow be helpful in my situation?

3) Also, some people on XDA say that NAND Erase All hard bricks your phone & warranty is also void. Is this true?
