Thanks but no thanks. I just bricked my Wildfire S by attempting to create a gold card using your tools.

:mad:

Edit: I got it working! And successfully created a gold card! My issue was that ADB was not recognizing my device. My solution was to flash an old nandroid that had presumably had USB Debugging Enabled. I then proceeded to run the cmd file but without any luck, I was unable to properly get a gold image.

My check to see if ADB was talking to my device was:

adb devices

Once I confirmed that my device was being read on my PC, I ran SimpleGoldCard.exe and successfully got the CID for the SD Card. I then manually ran gcard.exe in terminal, and used the command:

gcard -c *CID* -r -o "C:/Gold Card/gold.img"

Success! I pulled out the SD card from the device, attached it to my computer via a card reader, and then ran SimpleGoldCard.exe again, completing the process.

I required the Gold Card due to calibration to attach an aftermarket digitizer to an HTC Wildfire S. I was unable to get past #7: https://sites.google.com/site/repairlinks/htc/htc-wildfire-s-calibration without a gold card.

Thanks for sharing this, it worked for me, and I got the digitizer fully calibrated on my Wildfire S!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] glevitan:
There's no way to brick a device getting the cid of the sdcard. This tool does not flash anything at all. So, unless you have proof what you are saying makes no sense
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BuffMcBigHuge:
Yes my mistake! I figured something went wrong, as the device was not responding after running the script. I was getting a flashing red notification light, and I wasn't able to load the bootloader. I found out it was due to a low battery. :P I suppose the battery does not charge while in the bootloader or fastboot menu? I almost tossed the phone in the garbage, but I still had hope!

Hey all,who can tell me some games for 9.2.2 hephappy.? Whit download link please
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draxin:
Long story short(er), when I factory reset my xoom, it isn't fully wiping user data. I have tried multiple versions of stock twrp, mocha's themed ones, clockwork mod, and stock through settings, all give me the same results. I have also used different version's of EOS's Gapps packages, and baked's invert package as well and several different ROM's.

After going through the initial sign in process, it asks for my account information, I will give it to the device, it says it will take a few minutes to set the process up, after a few minutes, it takes me right back to the same signin screen, when I type in my information again, it will say that my account already exists on the device. So go to main menu and the apps list... there is no playstore there, so I grabbed just the playstore apk and installed it. Then it will show playstore is there, but will close itself as soon as I open it. I go to settings/apps, It will show all my previous apps that I had before I started the factory resets, but it lists them by their apk addresses rather then the normal names of the apps, it doesn't show their icons and ALL their sizes are 0.00 bytes. If I haven't installed the playstore apk yet, it will be 0.00bytes and the same as the rest, if I side load it then it's actual size and icon are there, but I still can't use it.

If I go into the web browser and look up any of my apps that way, it says they are already installed.

I have tried to download other root explorers to get to data/data/apps, and wipe the whole folder, but.... playstore won't work, so I can't download anything. aptoide, and blackmart, pretty much act the same when I sideload their apk's, I happened to have another root explorer apk lying around so installed that, and it just force closes. I really appear to be stuck.

Is it fastboot a stock image time?? Or are there other options?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjamocha:
Yes there are other options.

STEP

1. Go to store

2. Buy bottle of Jack Daniels

3. Drink bottle of Jack Daniels excessively

4. Get belligerent

5. Throw Motorola Xoom against the nearest wall

6. Pick your drunk self up from the floor

7. Re-root Motorola Xoom.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draxin:
Man, Mocha always has the answers:laugh:

Thank you for your offer, I may take you up on it. Right now I think I know the adb commands needed to return it back to stock

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

I believe are all the commands that I need to return it back to stock unrooted. And I also believe I have the correct images. Right now I am just trying to find all the plugins I need to get the terminal to work on my Mac. Afterwards I will follow ggrants tutorial on the xoom forums to reroot.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
If you already have your backup (full, including /sdcard), go to recovery, plug your Xoom to your PC/Mac, open a terminal in the adb folder and then type the following:

adb touch /sdcard/null
adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/null of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/system"
adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/null of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/userdata"
adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/null of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot"

Then install another ROM on Xoom. It may do the job.

3. unzip and copy to sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT...../

4. reboot to recovery and restore 2013-05-26--12-25-22

5. reboot and wait about 5 minutes

Now you have stock deodexed v3.16.401.9 with sense 5 icons, rooted and APM.

You may restore only data from a previous backup and don't need to reconfigure all.

I am in the middle of rooting my TMO GS3 with 4.1.2 and I am getting Android System Recovery instead of CWM recovery. What did I do wrong?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
What process did you try?

T-Mobile SGS III
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: sure way to root - success everytime

There are dozens of ways to root your phone, some methods work better than others and some don't work at all.

Here is the way to root your phone with the T999 Jellybean 4.1.2 rom.

This method works all the time and every time, no more trial and errors.

Easy and sure way to have a fully rooted T999 Galaxy S3 - Here is s step by step guide:

Download the newest pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.2 rom: T999_UVDMD5

After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the

file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file

Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14

Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

Once it's rooted be sure to make a nandroid backup of the rom using cwm or twrp recovery.

Good Luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
The above advice is irrelevant to the problem, way to read the OP. When you flash CWM with Odin, when you reboot your device, you need to drop to recovery before the device is allowed to boot. Do you understand? Flash CWM > boot straight into recovery. Once there you can exit. You will be prompted to disable some recovery crap. Do that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrguy1:
I've been following Max's galaxys3root.com video instructions. Used Odin 1.85, got the yellow COM indicator, ran the clockworkmod.tar, got the pass indicator and rebooted. Copied the CWM file to the phone. Can't seem to get into CWM recovery mode. Gives me Samsungs...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrguy1:
OK, took your advice to heart and reflashed the newer (6.0.3.1) CWM, and I can now boot to it. Did an image.

Now, one of the main reasons I rooted the phone is so that I can add other programs to the MultiView feature. I most want Dolphin and my (stock) contact tool. Just dragging them to the tray doesn't get them there. I can imagine Dolphin may need to be reinstalled, but what would I need to do to get the built in contact tool to work with it?

Somehow I got the impression that rooting the phone would make everything available to MultiView...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
You have to install the firmware with your recovery. Then it'll be available. Look in to the development section for the mod.

T-Mobile SGS III
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrguy1:
Sorry to be thick, but I don't know what you mean. I'm not sure what firmware you mean for me to install.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Rooting your device grants you permission to be able to do things. Not grant you things. You still need to flash a superuser root access .zip, a recovery doesn't grant root. I'm not on a PC so I'm not sure if what Aero pointed you towards also has the .zip you need included. Look in your app drawer and look for a superuser app. If its there then download this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2278022, And search how to flash a .zip in recovery. Make sure you read up a little more, and then ask questions before messing your phone up. :)

T-Mobile SGS III
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrguy1:
Thanks, I do understand that rooting doesn't do anything but enable. I thought, though, that superuser was all I needed to enable most apps for multiview. I did flash SU when I rooted but mistakenly thought that would be enough for this feature.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
There is an app that will grant the feature also, I don't use it but its out there. "multi window manager" that requires root so install it open it and follow instructions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrguy1:
Thank You! That was exactly what I was looking for, and it works just fine.

No worries. Forgot about the app for a few minutes glad I remembered lol.

I just paid $325.00 for a note 2 on ebay. The seller stated that the phone was hardly used, looked and operated like new. Besides the fact that i got no charger or box which was in the picture, the phone has a 1 inch wide deep scratch on the bottom part of the screen. I REALLY want to keep this phone but man i feel like i just got had and im ticked off. I already ordered a screen protector from SGP and my question is, would this help diminish the look of a scratch? Ive asked for a full refund but maybe im thinking i could deal with it if he is willing to give a partial refund and i can mask most of this scratch some how. What would you guys do?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrianBaker:
I advise against getting the glass replaced.. The Note II screen is like many new phones these days fused together with the digitizer.. Sure it can be done but I wouldn't attempt it myself.. When I was using my Note 2 I got a scratch on the display and bought a replacement lcd/digitizer on ebay. It was around $200 but replacing it myself was simple.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GMcD:
Thanks for the advice. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do at this point. Maybe it's best I try to get a full refund....not really sure what to do

I'd get a full refund and find another one in better shape if the scratch bothers u. Its gonna be alot of money to fix that scratch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Toxmax:
If you get an anti glare screen protector it will diminish the scratch of the glass and make it somewhat smooth when you use your s pen... You won't feel a thing and you will most likely notice the scratch a little less... But this things are annoying as heck. Knowing it's always there, screen replacements are expensive because of the digitiser... But I think you can just buy the glass instead of the whole thing... You won't be able to do it yourself without damaging something though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrianBaker:
something like this is what you'd need..Seems a lot cheaper than a few months ago these things were almost $300

Depends how deep is a scratch and how much patience you have, you could wet sand and polish the screen. I did successfully sanded out scratches from smartphones. I started with 1000 grid sand paper, followed by 1200, later 1500 and 2000. Polished with fine compound using dremel and buffing pad and looked like new. Just remember to mask area around scratch and make sure that water will not go inside phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Keep the phone and ignore the scratch.

Unless the scratch is worth $300 more to you. In that case don't.

Or you can google "remove scratch gorilla glass" and see how to grind and polish the whole screen down.

Or you can order a screen and take your chances doing the surgery.

Aren't you the buyer? If the seller isn't answering messages take it up with eBay. They usually get you your money back. If the seller won't answer ebay they will ban him from making anymore sales

Replacing the screen by itself is extremely hard to do and you risk cracking the AMOLED, too. I repair Note 2 cracked screens/AMOLED by simply replacing the whole housing with a new one. They're expensive however. They can run over $100 in ebay.

Easiest thing to do is get a full refund if you can't stand the scratch. Complain to ebay or credit card company if you used a credit card in paypal. Or just put a screen protector to mask the scratch out a little bit.
