[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurbi:
Indeed ... I am austrian.

Regarding wiping.

Not possible, recovery just shows "Fimware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again",

This message comes up with normal bootup, and also on recovery.

Download mode works.

I will try later on a different computer where no Samsung SW was ever installed.

But keep in mind, that

1) it flashes for a few minutes, before it allways stops at the same location (on this particular phone).

2) When the problem occured it could not mount /cache in recovery -> this was the reason why I tried to format the flash via Kies

3) This particular install of Odin has no problems with the second S3 phone!

Will report back after I tried Odin on another computer.

I am 99% sure that it will stop at exactly the same spot again :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Perhaps redownload the ROM you are trying to flash? It might be a corrupt download...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurbi:
Here is the confirmation.

I tried it on a completely virigin (no Samsung SW ever installed) WinXP PC.

I used your Odin archive: Odin3_v3.07_SGSIII.zip

with this official ROM:

I9300XXEMA2_I9300ATOELL1_ATO.zip

PC did not recognize the Phone, so I installed the Samsung USB drivers from the Odin thread here on XDA.

Started the flash process, and it blocks at EXACTLY the same place. (after having a bit more than 50% flashed ....

So we are back at square one ... anything that can be done if flash has a faulty cell?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
yes. the motherboard can be replaced. that's the only possible solution
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurbi:
Thanx

Sad :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
Samsung will do that for free
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurbi:
No, they will not.

As the device was rooted.

This is completely unrelated to the HW fault ... but enough for them to refuse to fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
no, not necessarily. worth a shot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurbi:
Definitely!

This is why I had multiple shots with Samsung, the reseller and a consumer advocacy group.

Result was negative :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
again, not necessarily. it depends on where you live, but there were a couple of people with a similar problem and samsung replaced the mobo for free with a triggered counter.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurbi:
Well ... I tried everything.

Consumer advocates told me that the only thing I could do was sue them ...

that I did not want to do as the risk would be very high for me as well ...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
your only option is to pay $350
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
You could try just sending it to Samsung saying it is not working. They might just fix it anyway. Worth a try before you spend all that money.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
he said he did
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratata82:
It is certainly not SDS

I would try to flash a PIT file to it (Remember to use the correct PIT, do not play arround with 8GB files). It could possibly be the partition area that is corrupted, be patient it will take some time...

Do that not help, then I would just brick it by unplugging it while flashing PIT and just sent it in for warranty :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc704:
I recently bought a Nexus 4 and it should be here this coming week.

I was wondering what are the first things I should do to it?

My list:

1. Let it charge to 100% and use till 0% to calibrate battery

2. Root the Phone

3. ???

thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin1992:
You should definitely unlock the bootloader directly, because this process will delete everything on your phone... When you used your phone some time and want to unlock it then, the backing up and restoring might be annoying. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
And don`t drain the battery to 0% or the red light monster might get you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 22sl22:
On top of all that has been said, rooting is worth it, this thread will help you choose a rom & kernel (just remember, no rom is the best, you just have to try some and see what one you like)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Calibration is not needed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
+1

Calibration was a farce.

OP, you need to head over to the dev section and find a kernel. Read the OP's, comments on battery life, functions, etc. and figure out which kernels you want to try first. I would start by running stock with a custom kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsparta26:
mc704, I just want to say, on behalf of the nexus 4 community. Welcome. You will find a huge variety of ROMs, mods, and kernels to choose from. Lots of things to try and customize. Rooting your nexus is the best thing to ever happen to your phone. We are a community driven force to be reckoned with. Just remember one thing while you're here? Please take your time and read up on anything you might have questions about. Most of are more than happy to assist you should you run into a brick wall. We all hope your rooting experience is fulfilling should you choose to do so. Happy flashing.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbaracki:
I started of unlocking and flashing AOKP accompanied with franco kernel.

but it's just my bad habit, unbox, don't even boot it once, flash with custom.

(did that to iphone4, htc one X, and now nexus, lol)

after I got used to all of the sweetness of AOKP (oneX), couldnt go back to stock.

forget battery, calibration is myth from the dark age of the nimh batteries :)

for the beginning, if you have no past experience: unlock, root, flash custom kernel (franco is IMO very decent)

play with it, see what you like and what not, do research :) and enjoy having the best phone on the market. and being a part of the best community :D

Wow! Thanks so much for the info guys. I checked out some stickies and I know what to do now.

My question now is....what is the majority consensus on a screen protector for the front and back? I searched and there are "many" preferred.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
If you want one on the front, make sure you get one that has cut outs for the sensors so it won't cause any issues. But I'm pretty sure by now the all should have the cut outs. As for the back side, if you don't want a case I think you should get a skin for the back. (More info below). I think you should get a case as well to protect the device from accidental falls.

I use to have a screen protector on my phone but I recently took it off because I missed touching the beautiful screen. I'm not worried about scratches. I always make sure I don't have things in my pockets or bags that will scratch my phone. Lol.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shift2win:
I would say unlock the bootloader before you download anything, then just use stock for a little while to get a feel for how stock android is on this device. Then if after that you decide it isn't enough or there are some apps or tweaks you want that can only be had with root, root it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well As the Nexus is a great developers device. Learn to develop. While flashing roms and mods are great, the device is wasted unless you learn something.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorjira:
Hey there all and OP. like everyone is saying you should unlock the boot loader and I'd say roll with Stock for a bit. I find that after going from one ROM to another, I find myself going back to Stock-Rooted all the time. Something about it feels smooth and it flies. Look into custom kernels and Build Prop tweaks. The latter could potentially increase your data speeds. It has with mine noticeably.

And as for the person who is debating about getting this device, I say go for it. When the next Nexus comes out just sell the N4 for it. That's the beauty of the Nexus program. Either way you'll get the newest version of Android.

Just my two cents.

[General Questions and Answers] burntphoenix:
I have an Acer Iconia A700 and I basically have it mostly to play games. I love using Cheat Engine when I play games on my computer, and I really wanted to do it on my tablet but everyone says to use the Cheat Engine alternatives on the tablet you need to root it. Honestly I never wanted to root this tablet because I know absolutely nothing about rooting. At first I thought it'd be like modding my PSP or my Wii but it's completely different. I haven't seen a guide where I wasn't completely lost after one sentence. It terrifies me because I could be looking at the wrong guide, making me skip a few steps and brick my brand new A700. Does anyone have a good guide, or guides,, to root it as simple as possible for someone who doesn't even know what "flashing" means? Or maybe even a Cheat Engine that DOESN'T need root? I know the latter question has been asked to death but maybe one was suddenly made or changed so it could be used without root since the last time it was asked.

So there's a strip going across my screen right where you would press to unlock it or where the middle row of keys is on the keyboard where the touch recognition has just stopped working...

The rest of the screen and phone work absolutely perfect except for this thin strip on the screen.

Any one ever seen this before where a certain point of the screen stops working ?

I take great care of my phone and I had used it to txt literally a minute earlier put it on the table and when a reply text came through I picked the phone up and this problem was there.

Factory reset didn't solve the issue so it's gotta be hardware. It's on its way for repair now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDarkKV:
Factory reset only resets your settings, if part of your Kernel or ROM corrupted itself then a factory reset would do nothing to fix the issue, try re-flashing stock or whatever you use.

[HTC EVO 3D] Delightful:
Hey XDA'ers

I had my Evo 3D (CDMA / Sprint) flashed with CM10 and 4ext for the recovery. I needed to get back to stock, I tried using the RUU in this guide "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1578977"

At that time I was currently "S-OFF" with Hboot 1.50.

~

I tried the RUU, it failed with an error code 170 (USB Connection); Many times.

For some reason I accidentally flashed Hboot 1.40, Lost S-OFF and reverted to S-On (Great job huh? D:), I put the wrong SD card in with a previous version of Hboot,

At this point in time, I can only load the bootloader. I can't get to the 4ext recovery (Obviously). I'm "S-On"

I'm just trying to revert to a COMPLETELY STOCK version of Sprint's Evo 3D.

I need major help.

~ Delightful
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
for RUU problems refer to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33901562&postcount=117

and i would suggest you try step 1 of this thread to get back to stock

if you want 100% stock (locked bootloader not relocked) then you should do all the steps in the above thread to get s-off again. THEN follow this guide to get stock with locked bootloader
[HTC EVO 3D] Delightful:
Problem is, I would try to achieve S-Off. However, I can't even boot up my rom. Everytime I boot up; "HTC" logo then it goes straight to bootloader :/
[HTC EVO 3D] guytano86:
You need s-off first, go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader follow the instructions , thats what i used to get the s-off. You can message me once the get the s-off.

goodluck
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
Step 1 of the s-off guide is running RUU to get back to stock. did you try that?

You need to resolve the RUU error first. Then you should be able to run the RUU

Hi guys

Having trouble using hot spot. Running skynote 8.2 worked before now the computer connects but cant load the page.when I troubleshoot it it says its a dns problem. I reflashed and even flashed clean rom and jedi rom on but still no luck.anyone got any free time to help please.desperately need this feature for work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iniquity0411:
anyone can help? I tried to search for the solution, wiped my phone, flashed it with the same rom, flashed it with another rom, used wired, wireless and bluetooth tether.

it all ends the same. the connection drops data after a while and i can't connect to any internet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Neoistheone2000:
Mine does that too, not just my phone but my Wireless hotspot too, (a AT&T Unite) I can keep the connection up by doing a "ping www.google.com -t" in the command line.

Yes, this will kill your battery, consider using bluetooth or USB tether.

Furthermore AT&Ts DNS servers suck use these

8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

Just put them in to your DNS settings in Windows.

This isn't an issue with your devices, its a AT&T issue from the looks of it. (I called AT&T and they tell me that the local tower is having issues so unless I continuously ping google I can't tether or use my hotspot for more than 20 minutes without getting DNS errors, Does it with any ROM I try, even my PlayStation Vita does it)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iniquity0411:
Sorry but my note 2 is bell variant and i'm on bell network in Canada. The only reason I'm using this forum is because AT&T has the same model unlike the other verizon and such.

So any other idea???

i also tried to set the hotspot auto turn off to always on and it seems to help a little. however every now and then i still get disconnection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Neoistheone2000:
Did anything change when you continuously pinged Google?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iniquity0411:
I keep refreshing the page, enter new common websites such as MSN or yahoo and they all show nothing except DNS failed look up. I changed the bell apn to some tether apn bell offered but that didn't work. So now I reset the apn to have it look up the settings itself. Still having the issue..

I never had this issue until recengly like last two weeks. Iunno what could be the Cuz and I can't figure out is it my phone, rom, or laptop...

I seriously will pay someone if they can't help me fix this!

Thanks in advance to this wonderful community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iniquity0411:
heres what i get when i "ping" google using your command in the 'command prompt'
