[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfnsnack:
I have a Verizon Droid Maxx HD XT926, am using it in the Uk on Vodafone.

It has a terrible signal when compared to all my other phones (Razr HD Uk model, One X, Razr Maxx & Berry 9790)

It sends most of its life with the red triangle, except when in an area with very strong signal then it may show 2-3 bars.

Interestingly, when connected to my landrover in car kit, the signal reported on the car display is always greater than that on the phone.

* Sometimes the car shows a high signal, yet displays No Network!!!!. the phone will typically have a low signal then.

All my other phones work ok.

I changed the SIm - issue persists

it is running

9.16.6.xt926.verizon.en.us

Droid Razr Maxx HD

4.1.2

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
Hi Guys,

I have a Verizon SGS3 with stock JB 4.1.1 and I was following the steps posted here ([GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 3/5***).

I got a little distracted and flashed both TWRP(1st) and Clockwork(2nd) but I still managed to successfully get to step 5 and root my phone and unlock boot loader.

Then I used clockwork and tried to install the liquid smooth 4.2 ( wiped cache and memeory etc) and after the rom installed and I selected reboot, and my phone was hard bricked. ie not response to any key and black screen, so no way to reload or restore anything. of course it was at the point I realized my mistake of flashing both.

I am going to JTAG the phone today, but I have a few questions,

My questions -

-was it because I had both TWRP and clockwork that caused this?

-if yes, how do I get rid of TWRP?

-I only want touchwiz and non of the other Verizon bloat, can you recommend a good stable rom.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
What you have failed to realize that you don't have both recoveries you overwritten one when you flash the other. Believe it or not most if not all of Touchwiz ROMs are stable. The mistake came from the flashing of a custom ROMs as you failed to mention whether or not you have flashed the right Gapps for the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I did not flash gaaps. I thought I could do it after I got the liquid smooth 4.2 on it. Are you saying that I needed to flash the gaaps first before the liquid smooth?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Not flashing the gapps wouldn't "hard brick" your phone. You just wouldn't have the Play Store, Google Music, etc. OP, are you sure you're hard bricked? Because it's really difficult to hard brick this phone. The only way I've currently seen people HB their phone is by flashing something for the international S3. You can't get into recovery or download mode? Buy either holding Volume Up, Power or Volume Down, Power?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
none of the button combination have any response. I tried removing battery and waiting 5 mins and reinserting but nothing. My battery was at 80% when I flashed the liquid smooth and bricked it. When I plug in to the PC, the USB drivers no longer load so I cannot use ODIN.

I am out of ideas. Anything anyone can help would be appreciated. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
What is the name of the file you flashed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
Liquid-JB-v2.2-OFFICIAL-t0lte
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Well, that makes sense. You flashed the Galaxy Note 2 version. You need to flash d2vzw roms for our GSIII. Everything you did beforehand was presumably fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
And boom goes the dynamite.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nrock2256:
Alright alright this is what you do. If the phone isn't hard bricked (which it may be since you flashed a GNII rom) you need to either try to boot into recovery (hold volume down and home at the same time, then hold power. When it vibrates, release the power and hold the other two until you get recovery) or ODIN (odin is the same, just hold volume up instead of down). Report back if you can boot into these and I will assist from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
You have the button combinations reversed. Volume up puts your phone in recovery mode, volume down puts it in download (Odin) mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
And he is hard bricked. He stated no response from any button combinations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
That is correct, there is not response from ANY buttons and my battery is confirmed charged. USB drivers unable to load when plug int o PC also.

Do you guys know of any good sites that lists the latest custom roms for verizon SGS3? I mean the correct and latest file names for the roms.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joshua5683:
You can find them all here on xda. Just browse the Android Development and Original Android Development forums for the Verizon Galaxy s3 only. You'll find AOSP ROMs and all kernels in Original Android Development and Touchwiz ROMs and mods and other stuff in Android Development. Don't flash anything that isn't made for the Verizon Galaxy S3

Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Not that I know of besides xda and rootzwiki, just be more careful. When you download roms always look for the download links for "d2vzw" roms or that specifically state "Verizon GSIII" when the link isn't immediately on xda. Typically AOSP roms are the ones with multiple multi-carrier, multi-device download links so always check and re-check after downloading zips.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
Thanks again for the pointers.

When I get my phone back today, I have decided to flash the Bean ROM. I read the instructions and have one question. What does STEP 1 mean when it says "pick the locked version?" Does he mean pick the locked ROM version? If someone can explain briefly it would be appreciated. thanks

Install Instructions:

Step 1-

Make sure u are unlocked or pick the locked version during flash

Step 2-

Wipe all(factory reset and davlick wipe) if coming from an old build

Step 3-

Install the Rom

Step 4-

Reboot and Enjoy! after first boot reboot if youre using a custom ui and not the stock one(fixed soon)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joshua5683:
He's taking about your bootloader. If you chose to root and unlock your bootloader when you rooted your phone, you get the regular rom. If you chose to only root and not unlock then your bootloader is locked and you must flash the locked version.

Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Oh, long story short that's the ICS rom that he created in July. From July-August, we had a locked bootloader, which is what he's referring. Thi meant flashing roms required something with a Kexec boot sequence, but once the GSIII was unlocked in August his rom and every rom presently available requires you to have an unlocked bootloader.

That said, when you get your phone you will need to:

1) root

2) unlock the bootloader

3) then proceed from there, whether that's backing up your IMEI or flashing a rom, etc.

I thoroughly suggest his JB rom since there's active development on it. Beans JB rom was updated last week and has "Build 15 [04/21/13]" in the title.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
Just got some bad news from the repair shop, they said that they cannot recover the phone. Any suggestions of a good shop that can recover the phone from a hard brick?

Also is this d2vzw_JellyBeans_B15 the locked or unlocked version? thans
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joshua5683:
Not sure about the shop thing but in the instructions for flashing that rom it says you must be unlocked. Which means you must have an unlocked bootloader. You do this by flashing SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip in recovery. That zip file is recommended for flashing when you're following the root guide and they have a download link for it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChronicMixTapes:
So I bricked my GS3 today.

This was my first time taking on the challenge of rooting a phone (which went well), until I tried to flash a ROM (MS Team HD X.X.zip) which I now know was made for the GT-i9300. I wiped data/factory reset and cleared the dalvik cache. The rest of the installation went along fine and then when prompted to reboot, I rebooted and poof no more GS3 for this noob. The battery was at a little under 70 percent when I began the installation. I'm not getting responses back when trying to hard reboot, power on, pull battery out, connect to PC (although my laptop did acknowledge that my phone was connected to it but Windows error forced it closed when I tried to open it) etc. I was reading on the i9300 forum that Samsung leaked a fix for this hard brick but I'm assuming it's not a fix on Verizon?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Jake
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I haven't seen any mention of this hard brick leaked fix in the Verizon forums so I'd consider that out of the equation unless there's concrete info.

Regardless, you need jtag service which I already suggested to the other user as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
Tomy1986 - I wished you contacted me sooner I sent it off to techvideo already. Anyways where are you located and how much do you charge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lloydteo:
Sorry to hear that ChronicMixTapes. We pretty much did the same mistake. I sent my phone to techvideo and I am waiting to see if it can be revived. You can wait for me to report back for you can try Tomy1986 and see how much he charges.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tomy1986.nt:
Im located at Dallas, charge for only $ 25.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChronicMixTapes:
Okay so what do you guys make of this? When I take the battery out of my paper weighted phone and plug in a charger I get the red charging light to turn on. Isn't a hard brick characterized by complete hardware failure?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I am by far not technically knowledgeable on this but when you flashed the i9300 rom it overrode pretty much all your partitions for Download Mode, Recovery, boot, and others as well. You receiving a red LED is normal, I just did this on mine which is in perfect condition. In our GSIII's case, a hard brick is characterized by the hardware being unable to physically boot the device into any usable state. A soft brick is that it will boot and you can access download mode but normal boot is unsuccessful. Since Download Mode and Recovery are completely overwritten (for hard brick), I think if you plug it into a computer the most you'll get is a driver or some prompt for "qhsusb_dload." The phone is useless in its current state unless its fixed via jtag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChronicMixTapes:
Thanks SlimSnoopOS. When plugged into my laptop, the phone's driver was being registered as the "qhsusb_dload" until I downloaded this JTAG software which, once installed, changed it's name and device type. It went from "qhsusb_dload" to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM7)." and device type from "Other devices" to "Ports (COM & LPT)." I know this has to be unique to the phone because when I unplug it, the driver disappears, when the USB by it'self is plugged and not connected to the phone the driver isn't there, and when other USB devices are plugged in none of them have this driver name. Am I just chasing something that isn't there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Honestly, I am not versed with handling the phone once its hard bricked. I, with my background far from hardware level hacking, would just send it in. I can't say one way or another if what you're seeing is progress cuz I don't understand phones to that level.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tomy1986.nt:
It is hard bricked, Only solution is Jtag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChronicMixTapes:
I installed QPST and it's showing my phone as being stuck in download mode. Is there anything I can do through QPST to get it out of download mode or factory reset it?

hi guys,

I got my phone back and rooted it following (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439)

I am about to flash the Jellybeans rom ( d2vzw_JellyBeans_B15) and I have one question.

I have not done step 5 yet. Should I flash the jelly beans BEFORE or AFTER step 5 . Thnanks

Step 5 - Restoring your Jelly Bean Bootchain

Quote:

This step is optional but recommended to return your original partitions after you see everything is working properly

Boot phone into ODIN mode (See here for how-to)

Flash the Jelly Bean Bootchain from Download #6 using ODIN v3.07 (See here for guide on flashing)

After a final reboot, you are all set to use your device as needed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It's optional so that's up to you. It takes a minute to do. I did it just cuz I felt like it when I decided to manually update my phone a few weeks back.

No root, no custom recovery, but it won't undid the unlock, as unlocking by a code is permanent.

You will have a stock operating system and network unlocked.

If you have a different baseband I doubt Kies will perform the update anyway.
