I wondered the same thing, but realized that regardless of what is there (modified or normal), it had absolutely no bearing on functionality of the phone. Just didn't bother after that to find out "why?"

Today i flashed a modified NT500HDT software update for my JVC NT3hdt navi system, the unit gives a "update error" on a black screen, i cant access anything except using the source button on the lift side to browse for input signal...

Any input on how to access they system by using the sd card? i couldnt find anything online that could help, and not sure if jtag will help as i dont see any software to use with it...

the system is a "locked" wince

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nook'r:
more update

The unit gives a "Please insert the update SD card" error, and if i insert the card in it gives the "update failed", the unit still have working Bluetooth (phone and music) and radio but no screen to browse... and no navigation.

I did some reasearch and found that the CPU is the so called SoC "System-on-Chip", the whole OS is installed on a NAND chip, the chip is SH-NaviJ3 SH4A SH7777, and more rsearch revealed the location of the e-JTAG point.

BUT! it will be very helpful if i can connect my microSD card to the CPU and have it be the boot OS...

i really dont know what i have to do...

This is a tool I made (with the help of this thread >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060184 << thanks hydrosity) that will install GScript and scripts to your HTC THUNDERBOLT and allow you to use QPST, QXDM, DFS cdma tool, and cdma workshop on your phone. It is meant to put the device into DIAG mode after you have flashed to a custom rom that doesn't have ##3424# capabilities built in. It is flashable thru recovery mode. It is very useful if you have flashed your TB to another carrier (i.e. Cricket, Metro, etc.) and need to re-write nv and/or nam settings. This took me 3 and a half days to create because of the tedious work of creating an updater-script with notepad++. This is my first flashable package i have ever created and it works nicely. Instructions are as follows...

1. Reboot to Recovery mode that uses edify.

2. Enable signature checking.

3. Choose flash rom from sdcard.

4. After rebooting, run GScript app.

5. Touch menu button.

6. Choose load.

7. Touch diag_on.sh and save.

8. Touch diag_off.sh and save.

9. Run GScript again.

10. The 2 scripts are there so, its a no brainer from then on.

11. Enjoy.

If you have any problems with anything not working properly, reboot to recovery again and choose fix permissions. That should help with FCs. I hope I have helped someone the way XDA has helped me numerous times. My way of giving back to the community. BTW, making flashable packages WAS very very hard for me to do. Now it's only kind of hard. LOL. I wonder if i could kang a SG3 JB rom and compile it to run on our aging Thunderbolt? Hmmm....To DEVS, if this is not in the correct place please move it. Thanks. Peace out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RBarnett09:
Thanks for the tool man.

I REALLY wish I could flash my old Thunderbolt to Page Plus but I need some good step by step instructions. I found a decent video but only half of the process and I can't afford CDMA workshop.

But this tool will definitely be useful for those who can do it. Thank you for that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solcam:
Thanks for downloading my tool. And you need to follow this guide for your task. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473141 I hope this helps. If so hit thanks. Then hit thanks on that thread also. That tool will definitely help you as you don't have to flash back to stock nor reboot your phone to get into diagnostic mode. :good:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solcam:
Page plus from what I have researched, is like an mvno (virtual network operator) if my memory serves me right. And they are under verizon kinda like boost mobile under sprints network. And u can use DFS CDMA Tool and/or QPST. Both are free. I recommend DFS though. It's what I use for most of my phone programming driver.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
You could also use a text file in the init.d with the contents:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/f_diag/on
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solcam:
Thanks for replying. I didn't know that. I'm in the process of compiling a custom rom for the thunderbolt based on the new VZW ICS update, but with parts from jellybean. Would love to get a total dump of the new HTC One, as it would probably be easier to build.

tb script

Solcam

thank you so much - I have been searching how to get into Diag mode. I thought going thru bootloader and getting to USB would do it - it gave me a com port, but the computer could not talk to the phone. I am trying to put pageplus on a thunderbolt, problem is I rooted it first and it is a little bit of a hassle to get it back to stock

I ran the script but I get this on the bottom of the screen after running it stderr: sh: <stdin>[1]: cannot create /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/on: no such file or directory, what is supposed to happen? It is supposed to reboot into diag mode?

thanks again.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] solcam:
Your phone won't reboot at all. Thats the other reason I made this, because it is faster than ##DIAG#>auto reboot phone>program phone>##DIAG#>auto reboot phone. GOD forbid you didn't program it right the first time. You are supposed to open your app drawer, (the button that shows all apps) touch gscript app to run it, (its blue) hit menu, load and save both scripts. The 2 scripts are on your sdcard inside a folder called 'gscript' without the '' of course. So you could probably use srcipt runner app from playstore to execute the scripts. I just tried with root explorer app and it force closed, so thats not an option. So look here -->http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1923849&stc=1&d=1367296728 then you should see this after you hit the menu button-->http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1923850&stc=1&d=1367296728 and this after you've added both scripts-->http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1923851&stc=1&d=1367296728 If your phone still complains that the files are not found, download and extract this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1923852&stc=1&d=1367296728 folder to the root of your sdcard and try to add the scripts again. So it will look like this /sdcard/gscript/diag_on-diag_off (there is no -, I'm just saying both scripts will be in the gcript folder). After you add the scripts, go back to gcript app, open it and touch 'diag_on' to activate diag mode. I dont know why it did not flash correctly for you in this first place. It should have placed all files in the correct places. By the way, which rom are you running? And did you flash that file from the OP from recovery? I kept compiling and flashing it over and over again until I got it to put all files in the right places. Which recovery are you using? I hope this helps you get your phone flashed over to PP. Good luck. :good:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gimmeitorilltell:
Thank you! I have 3 Bolts on page plus and have always had to nandroid back to GB to connect to my radios. I'll be giving this a shot soon, the old way of using g_script stopped working after some updates but it seems your tool has brought it back to life.... :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] solcam:
You are welcome gimmeitorilltell. GScript IS a great app. When used with scripts like this, it streamlines the tedious process of nam/nv programming. I'm just happy that I have helped out some people on XDA, because it's is my number 1 source of alot of stuff for all the phones that I have to program or hack. Just glad to be giving something back to the community. (offtopic)- Why do some of the smartest people on here not know how to speak 2nd grade English? Seems like no one uses the conjunction 'you're' anymore...they say your, which is possessive. Or 'than' instead of 'then'. EX- Your not going anywhere fast than= You're not going anywhere fast then. I don't get it. SMH. Sorry for the rant...it just burns me up. LOL. Hit the thanks button if I've help you...even if it is just taking them back to grade school. LOL.

You are very welcome gimmeitorilltell. I'm happy to help out fellow members. Just glad to give back to the community finally. XDA is my number 1 source of information on how to program or hack devices that I need to program. Hey twistedumbrella, when are you gonna drop your next AOSP rom update? Are you waiting for HTC to release their source code? I'm downloading your ROM (Multisource) right now to check it out. I love AOSP roms because i can play games on my phone with Wii or PS3 gamepads. Plus it sticks it to the MAN (HTC). LOL. MODS please delete this post. I can't seem to be able to.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] boilermanAres:
I used the other script and it went in. I think because there were already some directories made up in the root. So I got into diag mode, I then tried flashing with the site "cyberflashing". It seems like everything gets blocked from writing to the phone.

I rooted it with Revolutionary, Running Liquid ICS android 4.0.4. Nice setup, I should have waited to root and flashed it with the stock rom then rooted it later. I have QPST and DSF plus the free ones from CDMA for ulocking the sps.

After flashing with cyberflash (which did not seem to do anything -$10 gone like that!) they want you do the following (which I did not know if there is a script for this??) info below.

I imagine i could do everything with the right software, just have not found all the videos and tutorials to get it done. It almost makes you want to give it to a guy that does it all the time and pay him for his services, but I am stubborn too, and it has been a learning experience.

What is interesting is that the only number that dialing from the phone that works is the one below

Dial *#*#4636#*#*

Phone information

Scroll down to the CDMA LTE/EVDO box

Change it to CDMA LTE/EVDO

Press back button until back at home screen.

Upon completion of flash restart the phone again by removing the battery.

Then dial ##3424 then press Send

Press Menu

Select Re-boot to enable embedded mode

After the phone reboots dial ##778 then press SEND

Go to edit mode, password 000000

Then go to Modem Settings and match what is below...

-Slot Cycle Index = 2

-Preferred Serving System = Automatic

-Preferred Mode = CDMA Only

-Preferred Mode(9k) = HDR LTE only

-HDR Hybrid Preferred = Enable

-HDR Hybrid Preferred(9k) = Enable

-Clear All MRU Entry = No

-Rev. A = Disable

-1X Diversity = Disable

After this is complete press menu, commit modifications and phone will reboot

Replace LTE Sim card in phone to restore call ability.

I don't know why it won't create the directory on the phone, It used to work. I have tried it on two rooted phones and I get the errors. I have found the directories on the phone, but not same structure. Tried to change it - but phone won't let me create new directories on it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan D:
Hey guys!

I think i could use some help on handling my GT I9300

I was on Paranoid Android 3.15 and flashed miuiandroid_m0_jb-3.4.12

It worked for me for about 40 hours- no problems at all.

While i was setting up my phone and reinstalling my apps clockworkmod told me that there is an update. I could update to a version that i already installed a couple of days ago but somehow the app showed me i am running on an older version. After trying to update clockworkmod it told me that an error occured while updating.

Didnt take care of it because i went to bed and wanted to continue later this evening.

Some hours ago (i already used my phone as usual) my phone restartet and stuck on the samsung logo.

When i plug in the charger no led turns on. Sometimes the Samsung logo changes to the charging animation but it seems that the animation is frozen.

I cannot enter recovery mode only download mode.

What i have tried till now was:

trying to flash a stock rom with odin 3.7- Odin told me something like there was no pit file found.

trying to flash an odin flashable cutom rom- some error as above.

trying to flash a 3 parted rom with pit file- odin was stuck on "Get PIT for mapping" and nothing happened for about 60 minutes.

I have uses both GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit and GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit

CODE_I9300XXALE8_554452_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

CSC_OJV_I9300OJVALE7_CL547448_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5

MODEM_I9300XXLE8_REV02_REV04_CL1145430.tar.md5

On Odin 1.85 the repartition fails

Now i am pretty clueless and i hope that someone could tell me a solution

Oh i almost forgot.

in Odin mode my description is:

PRODUCT NAME:

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
You could try flashing CF-root with odin and see if that works. If it does you should have access to recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan D:
Oh i sorry. forgot to write down that i already tried this aswell-but without .pit file. That was one of my first ideas because i wanted to avoid repartitioning.

Same error in odin- no pit found.

Should i try to just flash cf root with the .pit file? or would this cause even more damage?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys3lover:
i dont know if this will work , but you could try it , try flashing resurrection rom from the checkrom website through odin in download mode

Is it possible to flash only recovery image with Odin? I've been doing that with Mobile Odin, so I guess it might be possible with Odin as well?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan D:
This was the custom rom i mentioned above. Have forgotten the name so i only wrote via odin flashable custom rom. Same issue there "there is no PIT Partition"

The "best" result untill now was trying to flash a 3 parted rom with PIT but odin seems to freeze on getting pit. Or at least nothing happened after an hour :(

Today the nice lady in the shop told me that they will send it back on monday and a replacement will arrive on monday aswell.

Thanks anyways ;)

I've had an Otterbox Defender for my S3 now for quite awhile. The silicone over the plastic shell always seems to stretch over time causing a loose fit. I know you can contact customer support and have a new case sent to you from Otterbox, but I figured there had to be something to tighten the silicone up. After browsing the web, I heard that if you boil the silicone for a few minutes in boiling water, it will tighten it up. I figured I'd give it a try and it actually did work, the case now fits like it did when it was new.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nyne7lac:
How long did you boil it? I stopped using my defender because of this issue
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MiG8GT:
Boiled it for about 2 minutes. If your silicone is stretched too far though it won't go 100% back to normal. It will help though that's for sure!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zakth:
I went with the body glove tough suit because I don't like how the otter box distorts the screen with that rainbow effect. No stretching yet but if I have that issue I'll use your idea.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MiG8GT:
It should do the trick for your case as well. Hopefully it won't stretch like the otterbox to begin with.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gorgtech:
I also had the same issues, solved them (temporary) by heating up the rubber in a microwave. Well, the rubber still started to stretch again after some time, I contacted Otterbox and received a brand new Otterbox Defender which still looks very good. I´ve removed the screen protector though ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tonu42:
Ive just stopped using my defender because of this reason, and I won't buy another one again because of it.......... thought they were supposed to be the best.......
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gorgtech:
Well, unfortunately there is hardly a similar case available which 1) offers some protection and 2) looks somehow decent and fancy enough the be used on a daily basis.

There are some similar chinese cases available which also offer a hard plastic shell and some rubber around...but look in my oppinion rather ugly than a regular Otterbox Defender.

Have a look at this one : http://www.amazon.de/yuba-RoboCase-...1367166500&sr=8-2&keywords=galaxy+s3+survivor

Since the support was kind enough to me, though I bought my case used in another board and didn´t receive a invoice, I may still consider to use other Otterbox Cases with other devices.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MiG8GT:
The stretching isn't the only flaw with these cases. The clips that hold the two plastic portions together also seem to break after awhile. Guess you can't complain too much when they send another free though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dark_N1ghtmar3:
My clips broke and they sent another one not liking the case might try something new like the ballistic sg maxx

I have the tech 21 d30 special ops patrol which tbh I preffered over the otterbox.

I know this is quite a necro, but this unfortunately didn't help for my OtterBox Defender Pro case that, after seven months, is bulging out at the four corners.

I'm glad it's easy to get a warranty replacement - pretty much automatic, just pay for discounted shipping. It's not great considering the case's young age, but it's not horrible. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, but we'll see.

I also tried ice water after the boiling water with no difference.

This didn't happen on my Pixel 7 Pro except maybe just slightly in one corner, and which I still have, but the screen was curved on that device, so it's a slightly different shape.
