I heve post a few thread about how get my stock rom back, myphone is stuck at HTC logo, and just can fastbooot, i've already re-locked my bootloader, and i've read that first need to Flash stock recovery, the question is , can i flash it because i've already relocked mybootloader, and i read i must flash stock recovery first then, relock, but i relock it first before flash, what must i do ?
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
If you want to run a RUU to get back to stock.. just lock your bootloader and run the RUU with admin privileges....

If you want to restore a nandroid backup then:

First unlock your bootloader

fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

Then flash recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

flash the boot.img of backup:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache

Now go to recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvic and then restore the nandroid backup! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Warrior 3000:
hey all. iv had the s3 since it came out. last summer i had an issue where my s3 was just randomly turning off and it would not power on. i would even pull the battrey out and put it back in, only when i put the battery back in the s3 would turn its self back on and say "samsung" then the s3 logo but then turn back off!!! it would do that every time i pulled and put back the battery.

i ended up just getting a new battery and it solved the issue .

starting last night the SAME thing is happening to me. does anyone have this issue? what is the fix for this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Check the power button make sure it's not getting stuck. Also check the connection points for the battery make sure none are bent.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Warrior 3000:
im pretty sure i have the "sudden death" issue. how do i fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Warrior 3000:
it is officially the sudden death issue.

but instead of me sending it to sprint and them not knowing what to do i shipped it off to samsung. =/

no phone for about 2 weeks now. =(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
You didn't think of walking into sprint and seeing if they give you a new device. It is a hardware issue.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] funkpod:
very cool, thanks for the heads up!

this is good for the verizon galaxy s3, too, right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] funkpod:
thanks for posting this! I saw somewhere else that this works on verizon s3. awesome.

and for mac!

nice.

i asked this on g+, but i thought i'd ask here for the sake of others seeing it as well.

Does this method unlock the bootloader? Does it matter if I can unlock the bootloader or not?

Once I have clockworkmod on the phone, I can install any ROM i want, correct? MIUI, Paranoidandroid, Cyanogenmod, etc.

Thanks again for this find and testing it out and posting this!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] im.sham:
This does not unlock the bootloader. If you try and boot custom recovery it will just take you to stock recovery. I had success using casual to unlock bootloader once, but then I had an error flashing a custom ROM. Does anyone have an update as far as what to use to unlock the verizon bootloader?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Arfyness:
I also had a problem with the Casual tool, but the results were a bit horrible for me. I bricked my S3 pretty damn hard. Nothing I've tried has so much as gotten a flicker onto the screen. I suspect it was something with either unlocking the bootloader, or flashing the TWRP. After I get it back from JTAG resurrection, I'm only going to do the motochopper on it, and not try to get fsck'ed with recovery or bootloader.

That's just my experience, of course. It's interesting that you also had some trouble with it, you're actually the first other person I've found on here that has tried it without complete success. I have SCH-I535 on Verizon, that's the only difference. (I'm assuming you have T-mo.)

I'll invite you to the thread I created if you want to compare notes. I'm interested to know if Casual rebooted your phone, and at what point(s) if so. Mine stayed on for the whole thing.

I own a htc one V, I unlocked the bootloader since I bought it, after a while , my phone was hitted due to this I brought it to the customer service center, When I had it back, it was locked again I try to open the lock again but its shown on the htc link you've been received the code, but that code cant open the bootloader of my phone

I'm so sorry for my weak English language

Please guidance me

Thank you so much

thanks for your attention

unlock bootloader key, i generate the key by One_V_All-In-One_Kit then upload the key into the HTC link and they send the file to my email

I've heard on some places that users after getting their bootloader relocked by HTC doesn't allow it to be unlocked again. I'm not sure, can someone else confirm?
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
You need your original unlock code. You should have kept it, without it you won't be able to unlock again
[HTC One V] amirramezani:
i cant unlock bootloader by original key, i tried 3times
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
What happens when you use the code? Wich error comes up?
[HTC One V] russellvone:
More than likely they gave you a different phone instead of repairing the original just do the same steps you did to unlock bootloader the first time.

Act like is a brand new phone.

Because it probably is

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

I've relocked and unlocked multiple times it is possible
[HTC One V] amirramezani:
you have received your code for one time
[HTC One V] amirramezani:
Unfortunately, I can not

In your opinion, what's the problem?
[HTC One V] russellvone:
Create a new user name at the HTC unlock site with a good friends email that had not received an unlock token from them. And try again. Sending your new unlock code to their email hopefully that will do the trick
[HTC One V] amirramezani:
when i tried unlock bootloader HTC link show this answer

We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

please help me this is very important for me

I think that you didn't copy the correct output after you sent command fastboot get oemunlocktoken.

Make sure you don't copy any of the arrows and don't have any spaces in the text you copy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AndroidFS2:
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

I installed CM10.1 within 5 minutes of opening the box and forgot to backup.

Anyways when I make calls using speaker phone the other person doesn't hear me clearly (been told it sounds like I'm under water or robotic like almost). Not sure if this is CM10.1 or just the phone.

I am thinking about returning it for a new one. Any thoughts?

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AndroidFS2:
Odin stock?? Not sure what you mean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Return your phone to stock and then check the speaker

You can use the forums search function in the development section to learn more about it. But honestly, if you don't know about ODIN already, I'm not sure why you are doing anything to your phone in the first place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AndroidFS2:
Bud yes I know what ODIN is. Your response was limited. I am currently away on business and will have access to ODIN tomorrow. My question was to see if anyone else has had the same issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
You might want to look at what you wrote:

I told you where to look to find the answer. And from YOUR limited response "Odin stock?? Not sure what you mean" I assumed you didn't know what ODIN was and let you know that you probably want to familiarize yourself with it before you do anything else that could ness up your phone.

If you don't want answers, don't ask questions.

And people wonder why they don't get help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AndroidFS2:
Calm down buds, you could have said more then two words. Thanks for your advice either way. No need to get upset.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] archie87:
Hi guys. I have an LT28at running the the LT28i firmware. I am having an issue with calls being garbled as seen in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115074

It is suggested to flash the baseband of the LT28at firmware but whenever I do this, the baseband does not change in the settings. Is this normal? How do I know if the baseband has actuallly changed?

I excluded everything except the baseband in flashtool. The flash succeeds but as stated before there is no change in my baseband number. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
I heard first time that you can change baseband. But I also don't understand why you are using different fw instead of correct for your phone. Baseband could be changed on 2011 Xperia's but not in 2012. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Yes the baseband can be flashed. I just recently flashed the at .111 baseband on my 3.7 I firmware.

1. Open Flash Tool

2. Select the ftf you want to use

3. Un check all wipes and everything but the baseband

4. Now that you only have basband selected flash and connect your phone in flash mode

5. Your done ;)

If you are flashing a baseband from an older I firmware it is quite possible they both use the same one.

Okay this is odd. I have the .111 at base flashed and it reads the same as yours in the phone. I know it flashed though as my wifi is worse and I have the stock signal icons again for at.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] archie87:
No AT&T bloat. That's why.

Yeah I don't know why it doesn't change in the settings. I don't really know if mine has really changed to the AT&T baseband or not. The flash was successful so I guess it did? I'll have to see if I still have the garbled phone call issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
The one way to tell is the signal icon. If its a att baseband it will show 4g for hspa+ and LTE for 4g. On the i radio it shows H and 4g.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
EDIT: just checked my phone, and my baseband is the same as the OP? So i guess i have the same problem, but haven't noticed garbled calls or anything...yet...and sorry Zackspeed; I didn't see your 2nd post noticing the icon changing...i guess i'll try flashing the .111 baseband again and see if it does the same as it did for you...i just don't have my cable, so i won't get to it until tonight.

I went from latest ATT .111 ICS back to latest generic .3.7 ICS while excluding baseband in flashtool. Seems to have put the international baseband on anyway, but everything is working with ATT after i manually entered APN settings...also, I'm getting the international icons in the status bar.

Do any of you happen to know the baseband version of .111? I never took a screen of that; i guess i should've.

based on what others are saying, it does seem that reflashing .111's baseband back over .3.7 'works'...its just not updating whatever file being read for the about phone status page. Just seems weird that excluding baseband in flashtool during the initial flash seemingly does nothing?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
While I don't know the baseband number and I can confirm it does not change in about phone it does change. I have the .111 flashed at the moment and my wifi signal is not as strong but my regular signal seems better. I have not had the garbal problem and seem to stay connected to the network better. 3.7 seems to have the most issue. I had allot of garbal with its radio and allot of network drops. The one issue that bothered me the most was having to reboot the phone whenever it would switch from 4g back to hspa+.

I will test the radios today and see what I can figure out and see if any of them change in about phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
^awesome, thanks. weridly, just 5 minutes ago i had my first garbled thing pop up...tried to call my voice mail and it sounded like the phone was at the bottom of a pool.

I'm not in an LTE coverage area, so i can't really comment on how my phone reacts to 'in and out' things like that. I did confirm LTE works with .3.7 and apparently the international baseband, though.

This is strange though. What i've noticed since going from att .111 to international .3.7 is that i regularly have higher signal strength being displayed, and never noticed any wi-fi problems. I haven't dropped a call since i flashed over, and get at least 2 bars in places i normally would have no signal displayed (such as the server room where i work)...I know that displayed signal strength doesn't mean its truly better; but i can make calls in areas that i couldn't before....

So i haven't even considered messing with this since the flash, as the ONLY difference i've had was the different icons....everything else just seemed better....which is the opposite of what you experienced with the international baseband apparently?

but, as i mentioned, i did exclude the baseband when flashing over .3.7..so i technically should have att's .111 baseband right now, which i clearly don't...I can 100% confirm i have the international icons in the status bar, and i had absolutely NO data connection until i manually entered APN settings. The phone didn't auto-download that stuff like some guys did.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] archie87:
Welcome to the club. :p

I also noticed that signal quality was terrible when I was on .111.

For me everything is better. The only issue I have is the garbled voice but that may have been resolved with the baseband flash. We'll see.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
more lost than when i started haha. I only had ATT .105 still on my machine, so i tried flashing only that baseband over rather than waiting to download .111 again. Flashtool did its thing, booted phone...

no change whatsoever. Still have international icons...and same baseband version number...

zachspeed are you positive you're getting stock icons back? Some in other threads are saying the baseband doesn't control that; that its built into the entire rom or something.

I'm starting to think this is a flashtool issue more than anything...as its clearly not doing what it says its doing in some cases...and given flashtool's track record of just blatantly buggy stuff...i can't see how its something else entirely.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Well I am wrong as it indeed is not working now. I just flashed 29i to see if it would change and it did not. I know it used to work as like I said when we first went to using the H ICS we had to flash the att GB base. As for the icons I am sure they changed as I have LTE in one spot where I live and for the longest it would say H for 3g and 4g for lte. Now after I flashed the .111 it says 4g all the time and LTE when I am in that part of town. Or maybe I am just crazy lol. JB could not come fast enough lol or a Z would be great haha.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
cool man, no problem...

that still doesn't explain why basebands aren't being changed with flashtool though. If we flash att .111 baseband over, it should be ending in '-24', not 23...and has a few other letter differences in the version number.

I tried .105 last night, nothing...and .111 last night, nothing. I can't tell any difference at all with the phone, still has international icons and everything.

i've only had that garbled thing the one time, though...so agreed, hopefully whatever this weirdness is its gone with JB haha.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
It is all kind of odd. I do know for sure it did work and not really sure why it wont now. Anyway guess we wait two weeks or so lol.

Okay I am going to put this out there. One thing I did notice was when I flashed the att radio with the build prop still reading 28i and noticed it skipped something but I did not save the log or really read it. When I tried flashing the 3.7 generic radio it did not do it. This occurred to me after I had stopped messing with it last night. So I wounder if we edit the finger print to look like what we are flashing if it would then flash?? Just a hunch so don't quote me on this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] archie87:
Well I'm at 24 hours with no garbled calls after "flashing" the .111 baseband. Fixed? Lucky break? Who knows. -_-
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
^i too have not had a garbled call other than that one random guy 2 days ago...other than the baseband version number not quite lining up with what i think it should be, the phone has been perfect. Still getting noticeably better signal strength than i did with ATT ICS, but that could simply be finally a few back end upgrades on their part...something very long over due, as service has sucked in this area for 10 plus years...

zack, i logged both baseband flashes i tried also...one for .105, and one for .111...I didn't read them, but saved them. I'll check the logs when i get back to my work computer. The only thing i noticed was 'flash successful', and simply unplugged the phone...but there was a wall of text i didn't carefully read above it. I agree though, this is all just something to do while bored...as JB will be pretty much the final stock rom any of us mess with on an Ion...and that will be the one i'll put the most effort into making sure its as bug free as i can possibly get it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Guys,

Baseband is contained in /system/etc/firmware. Flashing baseband partitions won't change anything except maybe resetting your current baseband.

If you want to change baseband, you have to take the files from the rom that contains it: modem.* (mdt, b00, b01...bxx), q6.* (mdt, b00, b01...) , tzapps.* and dsps_fluid.* then copy them into your own rom in /system/etc/firmware.

You'll see that by doing that, your firmware version changes.

Flashing the baseband partitions after copying the files could help having a fresh start.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
^haha good to know, so i was in way over my head...

a day later and still no messed up calls, though. So i'm happy for now...just ready for JB
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
I don't think that is correct. I am still learning all of this but I do know in some of the older threads its documented that it did work early on when we first went to H ICS. Some who had LTE in their area at the time showed LTE speeds after flashing it. Guess it does not matter much now but it sure would be nice to have a unlocked boot loader. Ha Ha
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
Well, I'm 98% sure, I worked on radio partition extract in firmware and there is no way that the content is radio code. It could have configuration values though, that's why I said that flashing them could be useful, but the partitions are mostly empty. Proof of that is that version changes only if you change files, it will change even without formatting radio partitions.

Unlocked bootloader is not required by the way as it's on system partition, you only need root, remount partition, and replace files.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] archie87:
Regardless of whether the flash does anything or not, it seems to have solved my problem, lol.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] archie87:
Thanks to another user, I just figured out how to tell if the baseband flash actually worked or not. :)

Enter this with the dialpad: *#*#7378423#*#* then hit Service Info --> Configuration

Under Working Bands you will see a list of frequencies. When I flashed back to the international baseband the frequencies changed as you can see below.

This is the .111 AT&T baseband:

And this is the .37 international baseband:

Flashing the .37 baseband adds UMTS_BC4 to the list. Even though the baseband doesn't change in About Phone, it still flashes correctly. I haven't had the garbled call issue at all since I flashed the .111 baseband. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
^nice...I, too, haven't had a problem since the day i flashed the .111 band.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nguy3ntu4n:
anyone know how to fix this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Very interesting. I to have not had the issue after putting .111 on mine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] teamHTC:
You bring up some. Seriously new information to me the looks pretty accurate, when I flash with flashtool only the baseband, nothing happens. Baseband numbers still look the same and the extra band I need doesn't show up in the service menu. I have. Z1 c903 and I need the c6906 baseband files and I think this Way might be the way to go. Let me know if you have anymore insight on this process.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] letama:
S800/8974 right ? Well, this is the same kind of thing afaik. I have note 3 now, s800 too, modem is still *.mdt / *.b* files. Samsung is doing it a little differently though by using two separate partitions for modem files mounted in /firmware/ and /firmware-modem/, but principle is the same. I don't know when Sony stores them in newest phone, but if you can find .mdt/ .b* files, you just have to replace them to get the new modem.
