Guys...... I need help de-hard-bricking my Sprint S3.... I have tried everything except JTAG. I made my own boot card by using my microSD card AND my 13 GB USB Flash Drive; I have tried using ODIN but that can't detect the phone cause it's dead; I tried taking out the battery and holding the power button for a minute and longer; and I even ordered a USB Jig off of eBay that's supposed to make hard-bricked Galaxy phones boot into Download Mode.

boot loop with goldeneye galaxy s4 AT&T

Hello,

i did a clean install of goldeneye 41 for my s4. the first time i installed the rom it booted fine. I then restarted my phone and then thats when the issue started. My phone got stuck going to the samsung logo and crashing, then rebooting....and this cycle goes on. I booted to recovery where it goes to the twrp blue screen. It stays on this blue screen for a lot longer than normal but eventually boots into recovery.

I thought that i should just do another clean install and it will be fine.......but no....same thing

i dont know what to do at this point...please some one help

HTC One M8 issues with ARHD 11.1 ROM install

Hey guys, this is my first post on XDA, and I'm in need of some assistance.

I have a HTC one M8 (originally on Verizon) that I'm now using on tMobile. I'm following the following instructions for installing ARHD to my device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2710720

I'm rooted the phone using WeakSauce and then SuperSU. I handled S-OFF via firewater, and I changed to SuperCID. I'm running TWRP 2.7.0.2 (also tried 2.7.0.0) and attempting to install ARHD 11.1 ROM. The flash completes successfully but shows:

"set_perm: some changes failed."

When the device reboots it gets stuck on the HTC one splash screen and never completely boots. I have to power off using power + volume up.

I validated the md5 checksum of the downloaded ROM and all is well.

What else can I check?

Odin nor computer will recognize phone (in download mode)

Hey everybody,

A noob forum, just what I need! Or so I hope. I read like half of the threads on here yesterday on flashing firmware with Odin as my phone will not boot any further than the Galaxy S screen. Now I am stuck at the point of connecting my phone to Odin. I've seen many people having problems with Odin recognizing their phone in download mode, the thing is mine doesn't really have other options than the download mode. I have installed and reinstalled the drivers several times, but the computer will not recognize the device so it will not use the drivers. I have bought a new USB cable so the computer does notice there *is* a device connected, it just can't see what it is. The USB port seems to work fine (I have tried all four, makes no difference). What can I try next? I hope someone can help me rescue my phone!

Kind regards,

Lamb
[General Questions and Answers] jalal-kun:
Hey there guys,

so, I've been flashing my Galaxy S3 since there's no support from Samsung anymore for this device. And I've been experiencing major problems with the front facing camera ever since. It crashes on every app, on one sooner, on the other later. The Whatsapp-camera severes all connection to the camera and I need to reboot my device.

I started off by just flashing Boefflakernel for the Samsung UI, but Touchwiz 4.3 is really buggy, so I looked for another solution. I afterwards flashed Ehndroix V (without any prior factory reset, mind you) and I felt the performance gain. But then the issues with the front facing camera started. I tried it with another kernel, ArchiKernel (here I did the factory reset) and the issues were still there.

After flashing a new ROM (LiquidSmooth) with Boefflakernel again, I hoped that the issues would be gone - but they're still there. Plus: a lot of apps just crash whenever they like, for example contacts, some settings crashed once and then worked normally.

I'm afraid that in order to get rid of this problem I need to go back to stock-samsung and restart from there. Or does anybody have a clue? If anything was unclear please feel free to ask, I'm glad for any help I can get.

Cheers!

The new cable you bought; is it the correct cable for your device? Just because a usb cable has the same end doesn't mean it will work. I've ran into this several times. Are you running windows on a PC or through a virtual machine? Because I've seen VM's cause issues.

Odin nor computer will recognize phone (in download mode)

Thanks Megaflop for answering. All I can tell about the cable is that it fits and that I was ensured that it was a data transfer cable. The computer starts charging the phone when I put it in. How else can I tell whether it's the right one? I am running windows on my laptop.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
I only use original equipment from the manufacturer. Call me crazy, but believe it or not I've had off brand cables and such mess up my pins because the cable had a bad or burred tip, as well as cause my device to go nuts because voltage would be coming across the wrong pins. I just recently had to replace my S4 because my daughter used her friends ebay charger on it. Bent a pin over and next thing i knew the phone was over heating, wouldn't take a charge, and then died.
[General Questions and Answers] Lamb1:
Unfortunately, my original cable broke so I can't use that anymore. So far, nothing has died from using it, but I will try and borrow an original cable if there is any chance that it could solve the problem.

Can you get into recovery? Have a backup on your phone? Do you have an otg cable that you could flash a backup or ROM from a jump drive?
[General Questions and Answers] Lamb1:
Yes I can get into recovery. I have tried all the commands but nothing works. I do not have a backup but do not care so much about the data (I gave up on this phone half a year ago believing it was beyond repair). I do not have an otg cable, is your suggestion that I put something on a USB stick and then connect my phone to the USB?

It died slowly after an update, the 3G connection stopped working and then it stopped booting altogether. A rom, is that a tar.md5 file or something else?
[General Questions and Answers] Shawn R:
Can someone please tell me if my Sprint Galaxy S3 is soft-bricked, hard-bricked, needs a new motherboard, or just needs a new screen / digitizer? Here are the symptoms:

The battery is fully charged. I tested it in another Galaxy S3.

It stopped working right after I restored CM11 via TWRP. It died upon reboot.

The phone doesn’t turn on when the power button is held down.

The phone doesn’t vibrate when the power button is held down.

The phone doesn't make any sounds.

The phone cannot get into ODIN Download mode.

ODIN cannot detect the phone.

The phone cannot get into Recovery Mode.

The screen stays black no matter what I do.

When connected to my PC via USB cable it does the following:

• My PC will make a sound when I hold down the power button for a few seconds.

• If I take out the battery while it is connected to my PC, the red light will come on.

I have tried the following:

• Taking out the battery and holding down the power button for one minute.

• Making my own boot card by using my microSD card.

• Making my own boot card by using my USB flash drive.

• I have ordered a debricker device from eBay and I am waiting for it to arrive.

• I haven’t tried JTAG.

[General Questions and Answers] :
Well, to explain to you guys (namely [MENTION=5867243]Megaflop666[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5924090]KkdGab[/MENTION]) why I ask for thanks (no, I don't troll, thank you very much), it's mainly because for people who do look at the Thanks Meter to determine the user's reliability/experience, I'd like to have something, anything really, to show that I'm a legitimately helpful person - and post thanks are easily the most visible and simple way to show that.

Plus, I'm hoping to become a Recognized Contributor someday, and usually RCs have a significantly large amount of thanks.

So, yes. That's why I want to earn more thanks. It's not because of pride or an overly-large ego - just because of the reasons I mentioned above.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
I will always hand out thanks when I'm helped or learn something new, etc. If you're being helpful, and all that good stuff the thanks will come. ;). I'm hoping for RC one day myself but I won't beg for it, I'll work for it. :thumbup: I'll let my posts speak for my experience or knowledge. I know personally I never look at a persons thanks, I look at their post content.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Good deal.

And I hope that you realize that I do work for my reputation - I just like to remind people to properly display that I've assisted. :good:

I don't just beg. Need proof? Take a look at the threads in my signature.

And yeah,

generally

people will "thank" you when you've helped, but when you're dealing with newbies (like most of the people in the Q&A forum are), they may not know their way around as well and may neee a reminder or two.

I wish you luck in becoming an RC - I'd say you're well on your way! :D
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Good luck to you as well mate. Throw something in your Sig like "hit thanks if someone helped you" ... Noobs will catch on. :thumbup: I have something like that in mine.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Thanks. :)

Yeah, originally I had two big billboard-style "Press Thanks if I helped!" images, but after my little conversation with you, I decided to remove 'em and just use some nice, simple text - but I did add the actual "Thanks" button image instead of the word "Thanks".

Feel free to use that image in your sig, as I can see that you sort of manufactured one with the "thumbs up" emoticon.

:laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
I'll think about that. I'm thinking about redoing my Sig.
[General Questions and Answers] KkdGab:
Okay i understand, I know you do not troll, and yes, I will thank you if you earn it. But seriously, if you earn thanks, you will automatically get them, without asking. I also dont think many people would ask for thanks if there was no thanks bar, and the thanks only appeared on the post. Being a RC is awesome, but dont you think a senior member who has helped lots is better than a RC with 10,000 thanks? Posting your best works in your signature is also a way to get peoples trust, i also wish you luck in becoming a RC!!!! I'm also hoping to become a RD one day, but my projects are not stable, and i dont want some members coming to me and telling me it is bricked because the 'just' flashed it.

This is what I have to say, in no way are you a troll, nor a beggar
[General Questions and Answers] :
[MENTION=5924090]KkdGab[/MENTION],

I feel you with the RD thing. I do a good bit of developing myself (see my sig for my best works :)), but I can't afford to try for the RD title, only to find that, as you said, someone "has soft bricked their phone" because "I just tried to install it". You know how it goes.

And thanks for the "My works" tip, I've actually had my best works in my sig since I first joined. :D

And a good tip to you - if you run out of character space for listing your best works in your sig, make a post over at [MENTION=4387744]Judge Joseph Dredd[/MENTION]'s

Signature links

thread, which can be found in the Infuse 4G General forum, that contains all of the links of your works.

Then, just add a link to that specific post to your sig, and bam - hundreds of signature characters saved.

:)

Oh yes, and you are very right about the 10,000 post thanks and RC vs, very helpful senior member. +1 to that.

Nook HD+ books my file manager can't find

There are many books in my Nook HD+ Library -> Books that I want to move to an external SD card. I run my file manager set to search from the root (/) and type Watched - which is one of the titles to be moved. File manager can't find Watched, Watched*, watched or watched*.

I downloaded this 5-star file manager from Google Free Apps. I don't recall any details, but it shows up as version 1.15.10 if that helps ID it,

Can you please help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Where the heck are they!?

Were it not for the sheer number of "missing" books, I'd just run the B&N app in Windows and sideload.

If it matters, I'm an 18 year veteran of Slackware Linux. There, I'd run

find . -name "Watched*" -exec ls -l {} \;

Unfortunately, there's no command line on the Nook.
[General Questions and Answers] Zatta:
Actually, there is.. You have to install "teminal emulator" by jack whatever. Also busybox is needed for what you want to do, find busybox installer by stericson (maybe there already is a busybox on your nook, just type in the terminal emulator "busybox", just as in linux. Maybe not all applets are there but find, grep, sed, awk etc for sure are!

I'll go find and install, but I think first I must connect the Nook to a Windows PC per post-mortem's B&N link, which indiicates that the books are in a "hidden" partition. such that find never would find...

Just a hint to other helpers here. This is an extremely valuable reply to my question because Zatta includes the name of the app developer, which is a huge assist in finding the correct app to install.
