Rebooting Fixed!

Rebooting Fixed!

If someone else is facing the same problem, I fixed rebooting issue while writing to system following this guide, thanks to the user [NUT]:

[XZDualRecovery][v2.3 RELEASE] cwm 6.0.3.2 & twrp 2.5.0.0 [locked bootloader]

CWM Usage warning: Root can be lost (almost worst case), a bootloop can be experienced (worst case) or a reboot upon remounting /system to be able to write to it (most cases, relatively harmless) when using CWM and before a reboot out of recovery answering the question 'ROM may flash recovery, fix it?' question is answered with 'yes'.

This can be recovered from by opening a terminal app and typing the following commands:

Code:

su

/system/bin/stop ric

mount -o remount,rw /system

chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Alternatively you can boot in to TWRP and go to the Advanced menu -> File manager and look for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to set permissions 755 on it.

omfg! i upraded via PC companion yesterday because could wait for the update, via OTA it had always error and i did not saw this POST! :crying::crying:

I dont wanna start downgrading again..:(

Its 100% safe not to loose the data makin it this way? :confused:
[Xperia Z General] dave_id:
I found out downgrading to 434 did the bootloop for me (reflashing wasn't fixing it)

i had the NFC upgrade thing, then a reboot for ever...I see quite a lot of people having the same behaviour.

fixed it by flashing AND wipe out Data...something I didn't wanted to do, it was the only solution

so better full backup before (with pc companion for exemple)

Why don't you just try the app (for PC) called Kingo Android Root? Worked for me ;)
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
.....

This thread was created almost 5 months ago. Long before this Kingo app was around, I believe. There was no need to bump this very old thread on how to root a firmware version that is 2-3 versions out of date.

This sort of thing is leading me to become rather suspicious of this Kingo app. Nobody knows what exploit it uses or what it injects along with the su binary and SuperSu app. There seems to be an absence of any information on this on the website for the app. Lots of accounts with low post counts are also promoting it here on XDA.

It's not something I would personally trust, at least until somebody that's known to be trustworthy like DooMLoRD looks at how it works.

Basically I bought a Nook amazingvalue £26 brand new with the hope of getting into reading.

I tried to root (on 1.1.0) but I bricked it.

I then recovered it using a tutorila although the Image must of been a USA one.

I now cant for the love of money get this thing updated to 1.2.1 UK nothing works could someone please help cheers.

Edit: Some deep reading found the reason I could not restore with the UK 1.2.1 was because it was signed got it removed and it worked thanks :) sorry for making a thread lol

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbman213:
Okay, so here's the story.

I've always thought that my nexus 4 has had a flaky signal strength for several months now. I finally got some time and drove down to my nearest tmobile store and played around with some phones. I walked over the the nexus 4, checked the baseband version, checked android version, etc. all identical to mine. Opened up the phone information app, 4636 thing and compared ASU / dBM with two identical phones on identical networks in the same location. Their phone, 9-11 ASU. Mine, about 2-3 ASU. dafuq? What can I do?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpookyTunes:
Did you get the phone from T-Mobile or Google Play? Are you connected to the same cell locations?

1) Have TMO send out a refresh signal to your phone.

2) Try a new MicroSIM card (NOT a cut down MiniSIM!!)

3) Try to re-flash the baseband radio image.

4) Try and RMA it.

All electronic parts have a tolerance (+ -) value, so no 2 devices will ever be the exact same.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbman213:
1) This sim card was activated about 2 hours ago while I was in the store

2) See number #1

3) Tried it.

4) Probably need to try this. However, I can't go a day without a phone... Major set back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpookyTunes:
Leave the phone on and give the new SIM 24 hours to stabilize. Signal issues are normal with a newly activated SIM.

Settings > About phone > Status > My phone number: <should display you mobile number>.

If it's unknown, check again tomorrow morning.

If you RMA from Play Store, you don't send back the old one until you receive the new one.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
The carrier free ROM for my country got an update yesterday and i want to update to it and get a clean binary counter. And stick with it for a whyle since i have a sds prone Phone.

Im on XELLA now and the Update is XMC2

What do u guys advice?

Flash ICS bootloader reset counter and then Update? ( will that re-update the bootloader ? )

Or remove battery right after reseting and hope that the timing lets me do a clean flash?

Any Help would be great thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Why do you want to flash a ICS Bootloader? If you reset your current counter with TA and then flash the new update it will remove the Exclamation mark anyway since you're going to use Samsung official Firmware. If you root it then you're going to need the ICS Bootloader of course to remove the exclamation mark.

The new bootloader should be included in official Samsung Firmwares so yes it will be flashed too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
U didint get the point.

I thought of ics bootloader to update it with already binary counter at 0 and status official since myne is now at 2 and i have the new bootloader that will increase to one after boot

Meaning

Downwgrade bootloader - clean counter

Flash firmware get 0 and official along with latest bootloader
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
No, he DID get the point. You just didn't listen..

Use Triangle Away, then everything is reset. Then flash the new firmware.

If you are going to root the device again, you should use the ICS bootloader to prevent the phone from showing the red exclamationmark in the top-right corner of the screen.

Hello all. Let me first thank you for your time in reading my post. I appreciate it. I'm not a fan of only posting for help but I suppose that the site suggesting to always search first is to thank for that because I am usually able to find answers. So please forgive me if this is posted elsewhere but I really have searched and asked around but haven't seen anything similar to my issue. If there is something like it I do not know what to call it. I at first thought it was a sudden death, but realized I think my device model & the symptoms have disproved this theory.

My story...

I bought my AT&T Galaxy S3 feb 2013. I have had it, spent a month or two stock everything. The past month & a half I have flashed CM 10.1 & most recently PK-2.32 for about 3 weeks. Have ran it and loved it with no issues. Used the kernel that comes with both ROMs.

4 days ago

I was charging my phone at work, picked it up after a while, and it wouldn't turn on. It was stuck in a loop of 2 of the screens in my attachments(the battery screen & the SGS3 logo). The battery screen is not in motion, it is stationary like that so that the circle doesn't move.

I have tested quite a few things in regard to what I thought might be the issue...other batteries, chargers, cables pull sim & SD and still no luck...etc.

While the phone is unplugged I get no indication of life. Only when I plug it in will it show me the battery symbol & the logo.

After some playing with it while it is plugged in I have been able to get it into download mode quite frequently with no issue as seen in the third attachment.

So yes I can get into download mode but I'm still "fairly new" and not sure where to proceed from here. I'm not sure what my options are as this is new to me and I can't find anything related, nor can my much more experience friend who is not so new at it that got me into wanting to load custom ROMs.

And yes, as you can see it has tripped my flash counter up once, from what I've read there's only one way to fix that if I need to send it in.

So...If you are able and willing to help I would greatly appreciate it and any options you might give me. I'm willing to try almost anything as my phone is of no use to me at this moment.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
if you can access download mode,one option is to connect the device to your PC and flash the stock firmware via odin. untick the Auto Reboot option. once you get a PASS, pull the battery, replace and immediately hit vol up + home + power button. when the device vibrates, release just the power button. in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache. reboot.

first, can you boot into recovery at all?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moose0003:
First of all, thank you for your reply. I will definitely use your suggestion if that turns out to be my best option.

Secondly, it's funny you should ask about recovery. I have tried and tried to get into recovery, I have only been able to boot into it one time while it is on a charger, did not try anything because I thought that if I could get in it once I could get in it again, but since then no I have not...

UNTIL just now when you asked, I tried again and I am in TWRP. It is still in recovery at this moment, again only because I have it plugged in so I am open to your advice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Well, since you're in recovery, I would consider wiping data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik, flash rom again and gapps. Reboot to see if that got you cleared up. This would mean you have to reset up your phone for the most part.

You could also consider wiping cache and dalvik, and flashing the rom and gapps. maybe this would correct your issue without wiping the device data.

Sou your device just did this? You weren't trying to flash a new kernel or anything?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
You have a few options at this point. You can access recovery and download mode so this is good. You can try and flash a new ROM through TWRP. You can also go into download mode and install a stock rom to start over. With TWRP choose a ROM of your choice (as long it is intended for your model). You could just restore a nandroid of one that you know worked...if you made any.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moose0003:
Thanks again for your reply. I will try this and check back.

You are correct, it just did this, no kernel or anything. I will try wiping the device the data doesn't bother me. I won't lose much.

Have you or anyone else heard of this happening or know a cause? I could not find anything.

Thanks for your reply. I have a few backups. I will try stock first and see where that takes me and go from there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moose0003:
Sorry about the delay. I was in recovery but I could not get it to recognize my SD card. So I took it out to try to load it in the computer and I'm having the worst time getting either of my computers to recognize either SD card I have even with 2 different readers. Still working on it though...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] metalsnakebite:
Ouch sounds like your sd card is corrupted, you may not be able to get any info off it. You may have to use Odin to flash a stock ROM. You can still get to Download right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moose0003:
Thanks for commenting. You were correct, my sd card was corrupted. Had my 4gb card that was working so I was able to determine that was the case.

Latest update

I was frustrated at the most recent attempt to load recovery, which I never succeeded in doing. I then decided to load a stock ROM from odin. Started this process, and it was going well until the reboot phase, which is what I was fearing the most.

Once it attempted the reboot, it attempted to reboot, then would just vibrate shortly over and over and over, with nothing on the screen.

Unplugged the device hoping for the best, yet nothing happened upon my attempts to power on.

Plugged back in and would initiate the same sequence in my original post, with the image of the battery, to the image of the SGS3 logo.

So...hoping for any good news someone has to offer, but have come to terms with the worst.

Again, appreciate any comments toward the struggles with my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moose0003:
Forgot to mention in my last post...I did the steps above while in recovery then I tried to reboot with nothing happening still. I did this before doing anything in ODIN.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
after flashing stock via odin, you generally have to boot into stock recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] metalsnakebite:
Well usually after a fresh Stock Install using Odin you need to to go into the recovery and wipe data, cache/dalvic cache, factory reset. That should fix your problem.

Lol...beerdroid bro i didnt hit the next page you said what i just did.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
haha. i've done that before. cheers, buddy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moose0003:
Thanks for the input guys. I'm having a difficult time to get it to stay into recovery now again. It acts like it wants to go in but it will just reboot. I will keep trying and if I need anymore help I will come back. Thanks so much again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moose0003:
Back again. So I kept playing and was finally able to get into recovery as you guys suggested. Once I got in it finished the odin process and actually booted up! First time in a week. So ran through setup and then was able to determine that wifi is not working with stock ROM. Not sure if it's the phone or the ROM.

After it booted up and turned on was able actually do most functions, didn't test a lot wanted to see if it would work without being plugged in...this answer was no.

So after much testing I think what determines what will power it on and off is determined by what it is plugged into. I still think it is having hardware issues though because of the lack of powering on, but I am fairly certain that I can start it every time with a certain cable/charging dock.

I think the next thing I might try since I can get it to turn on is to root it again, load TriangleAway from an SD card, fix flash counter, unroot, load stock & see if they will warranty for hardware issues on the battery connection or whatever it is.

Haven't done this yet but will start tonight & have it finished by tomorrow is the plan. If anyone has any better suggestions I would gladly take them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moose0003:
So this should be my last post unless a question arises for me.

This is what I said I was going to try to do. Took it to work and found time to do the above. TriangleAway worked a lot better than I ever thought it would. Flash counter reset, loaded unrooted stock and have a replacement on the way. Went very smoothly.

So doubt I will root & rom again until out of warranty. I appreciate everyone's help with my issue.

XDA is a great place.
