I agree. This is the problem with people these days. Everyone wants more than what they have/earned. Everyone is looking to sue. They don't care why or what for. Its like that person who sued McDonalds for being burned by their HOT coffee. And that guy who sued Subway for his sandwich being 11 and 3/4 inches long. -.- Seems like everyone has to point their finger at someone and get something in return for it. Nobody can just accept what has happened, not put blame/guilt on anyone, and just simply move on when rare things happen.

A little more on topic, I just saw in the news today about using after market batteries, and that you should only use OEM approved products. Whether or not it was a stock battery will be very hard to tell.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Its funny that you bring up the Mc Donalds incident. I'm guessing your referring to the Lieback V. Mc Donalds Restaurants case?

You should really look into to that case before throwing it around and using it as an example to show "people wanting more". I'm sure if that happened to you, you wouldn't just accept it and move on. But seriously, go find the pictures and tell me that you wouldn't sue Mc Donalds for millions.

If you would have read the updates on the whole phone blowing up, the guy said Samsung inspected the battery and said that it was not an OEM battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mazdamiata210:
Mine was 100% stock and oem everything. If my house would have burned down I wouldn't have the right to sue? It is no fault of mine. The phone was plugged in normally just like I do every night.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
OEM cable? OEM wall charger? OEM battery? Was the phone stock? I'm sure Samsung would find an issue with one of those things.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mazdamiata210:
OEM and stock everything. The only thing that was not stock was my 2$ ebay plastic case and screen protector. Which have no effect on the phone. It didn't catch on fire or explode but it was very close if I didn't wake up from the burning plastic/electronic smell.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
Not that I think it's gonna catch fire, but if it did, I sure as heck wouldn't want it somewhere farther away from me where I'm not gonna notice it in time. I'd want it near by so I wake up, instead of my house burning down because it happened in the other room and I didn't wake up until the the fire had spread.

If you took some time to read the article, you would have noticed that the conclusion is that there is no link cancer and cell phones, they even explain why some studies have shown correlation and why it happened (it had nothing to do with cell phones).

Fear of electromagnetic fields is getting a lot of press and scares people when there is no risk; at least, unlike the anti-immunization lobbies, there is very little harm done. This is why they should teach more science and less Jesus in schools!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Qverse:
I disagree, My main type of work is reviewing Medical Records diagnosis through out the country and while studies have shown no so-call correlation that there is no link cancer and cell phones. Do really believe that ? Tobacco is known as one of the most potent carcinogens in humans. Tobacco causes more than 148,000 deaths each year in the form of various cancers such as lung, trachea, bronchus, larynx, pharynx, oral cavity, and esophagus. Other cancers linked to tobacco use include cancers of the pancreas, kidney, bladder, and cervix. Smoking's effects on cancer continue to be shown. Look how long it took to realize that fact. My friend I am not saying toss out your cellphones and stop tech. To date, expert panels that have reviewed the existing data have concluded that data are insufficient to support the conclusion that magnetic fields cause cancer.

"WWSS" (what would samsung say)

What?? Your case and screen protector wasn't OEM???? Of course those can be a factor! I mean the case might be too think so it will prevent air circulating properly! The screen protector might have some kinda metallic element in it that cause interference with the radio causing the phone to overheat!

On a serious note though it could have been worst, what if he was a deep sleeper, he could have been burnt alive!

As for the suits... It doesn't not have to come to that if samsung decides to cover the cost of the phone and the bed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mazdamiata210:
You guys may think I'm lying but the phone did it again yesterday 7/14/2013. It's my sister's S3 and in the middle of the night she woke me up to show me. It gets so hot to the point that touching it is like touching the side of a boiling pot of water. Also with a burning plastic/electronic smell. It's rather scary now not knowing what's going on with the phone if it's going to burn my house down if nobody catches it "on fire".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
It's irregular for my phone to get hot at all with stock kernel on AOSP or Touchwiz. Changing the kernel as of lately on LJC or MD5 firmware on Touchwiz (not AOSP) warrants a very hot phone and tons of battery drain for me however.

You're right. I confused it with the 4.1.1 update that was released a few months ago. My apologies.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pre4speed:
No problem. ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I'm on 4.1.2 with KT747 and I'm undervolted. I took a picture using the front facing camera and it froze. I placed my hand on the back of my Ballistic case and noticed it was burning hot to the touch. Thought it was going to blow right there. So I shut it down and removed the case and rebooted it 10 minutes later. Haven't had the problem since. I'm thinking it's because of the very bad heat wave that's been sweeping through here lately.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aditzu_juice:
Hi,

I am trying to flash stock ROM on GT-n5100 with no success. I will first recap what I did:

1. Tried to flash N5100XXBMD1 EUR version from samsung-updates with odin and it failed with invalid volume size

2. Recovery was not working, I flashed CWM and recovery mode was still not working, only the gt-n5100 logo.

3. Flashed stock recovery, and recovery mode still not accesible, stuck in the same logo.

4. After flashing recovery, device booted in normal android. Tried to root using galaxy note 8.0 toolkit 1.1 and insecure boot method and now the device doesn't boot at all, it gets stuck in gt-n5100 logo.

5. I can enter download mode, but every stock firmware I try to flash fails with invalid volume size message on the tablet.

So, I think I may have a problem with the partitioning. I may have got broken somehow. Does someone have the pit file for N5100XXBMD1 ? or a 3 part stock firmware I can try to flash?

The pit file can be extracted from a working n5100 using Heimdall Suite in download mode. Maybe I can use a .pit file from another n5100 running N5100XXBMD1 ?

Also can you please tell if I'm doing something wrong? I double and triple checked all options in Odin.

Thank you.

i got invalid volume size error on S III by Kies

then i flashed rom by Odin

so i suggest u first update or recover ur phone with kies and then flash another ROM by Odin

however restart PC and phone can help sometimes & also change USB port

:good:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aditzu_juice:
I tried to recover from Kies but the device is in download mode and it doesn't appear in kies emergency recovery. I will try from another PC/USB port tomorrow and post the result.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aditzu_juice:
Tried from a different PC and same problem from Odin "Invalid volume size".I can't seem to find the serial number on the device to use Kies Firmware Initialization, but as I recall, yesterday when Android booted, Kies said that initialization is not supported for this device.

Anyway, can anyone extract the pitfile from their n5100? Or give me a serial number that works in Kies?

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aditzu_juice:
I checked from Kies with the serial number that I got from the box and it says "GT-N5100 does not support initializing".

Can someone with a N5100 extract the .pit file from it's tablet? It would be very helpful. I can guide you through the process using Heimdall 1.3.1. It is done in download mode.

Also if anyone has another idea on how to revive this tablet I would really appreciate it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aditzu_juice:
For anyone that can help me with this .pit file, It will not harm your tablet in any way. The procedure does not write anything to your tablet, You just nee to install Heimdall Suite on your pc, put the tablet in download mode, connect it and the app has a buton that says Download .pit file.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aditzu_juice:
I guess no one has a couple of minutes to extract a .pit file from it's N5100

Ok then. I'll look into the option of sending the tablet to Samsung. Too bad I can't get help here, but at least I tried.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] KXMWM:
If you still need it, am happy to help if you give me your contact details
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aditzu_juice:
Thank you. I you have the pit file then I could use it. Can you post it here, maybe if anybody else has this problem will find it in the thread.

hi

this img how it works?
[HTC Sensation] DIMENSIONAL:
Good Afternoon. I've spent hours searching the forums already without any luck, so sorry if this has already been answered somewhere.

My cousin has an HTC Sensation from T-Mobile, fully stock ( no root, locked bootloader, S-ON ) with HBOOT-1.18.0000. A couple of weeks ago, she said it was running really slow, and after she rebooted it, it started bootlooping. I have it with me, and after the HTC splash and T-Mobile boot animation, the phone cycles back to the splash. Wiping cache from stock recovery didn't fix it.

The thing is, she wants to somehow salvage her text messages that she's never backed up. I was wondering if anyone has any idea about how to do that, or if it's even possible?

tl;dr: Any way to recover SMS from bootlooping stock sensation?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
is the phone completely stock?

any chance like SOFF ?

atleast USB debugging is enabled ?

if adb is working

the files you're looking for are:

mmssms.db (messages and mms data bases)

telephony.db (this one contains call logs)

They are located in:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

so you can do

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

and

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

if adb is not working then its hard to do anything
[HTC Sensation] DIMENSIONAL:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, unfortunately the phone is fully stock, and does not have USB debugging enabled. I tried ADB already without any luck. :-\

I just gave the phone back to her a couple of hours ago saying I can't do anything under the circumstances. Hopefully she'll take my advice about backups from now on. >.>

Anyways, thanks again for the advice at least. ;)

Hi everyone:

I hope you're doing all right.

I just install the ROM Android Revolution HD 7.0 (Mike1986) for my galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010 wifi, but this ROM changed my model to GT-8000 so I installed a compatibility pack for N8010 & 8013 (All this I did in the clockworkmod). After install the pack I had to reboot my device, but after that the screen stays in SAMSUNG.

HELP PLEASE!!

You need to just put another rom on your sd card and flash it to be able to boot up.

Did you try flashing the pack again? What about wiping caches?

Hi XDA

I have posted a new thread after reading various guides and threads to S-off the sensation.

My problem is that i dont understand some parts in some guides so i cant use that guide.

1 st problem

Unlock bootloader : I have a Htc sensation Orange UK but it isnt listed on the HTC dev website so what do i do ?

2nd problem : I would prefer not to unlock my bootloader via HTC dev because i dont want to void my warranty.

3rd problem : I am running windows 7 32 bit and control bear support has been stopped for it .

4th problem : I dont have any wires to use for control bear so i want to use a paper clip but i dont know if this is correct so can someone verify please ? : (Image attached to this post)

5th problem : I dont know if the method i am understanding for S - off is correct

What i think i need to do ,

Htc dev :

Unlock using htc dev

root using temp toot .bat

run control bear

do wire trick

install h boot

Install recovery

Ganeshp ver

Run temp root

run control bear

do wire trick

install H boot.

Install recovery

6th problem :

I believe you can flash roms with only unlocked bootloader but there is only 1 guide for it and its not very clear.

7th problem : Im afraid about bricking my device :(

Thanks for helping guys !
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
Hi, all the questions you have can pretty much be answered with this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26280760

S-off by ganesh's guide does not require an unlocked bootloader.

Concerning the wire trick... I used one piece of paperclip so I can verify that it works (I never insulated the paperclip with anything either, so it was just a naked paperclip)

By the way, you never mentioned your bootloader details, but if you have 1.2x bootloader you can use the guide that ganesh wrote about, but if you have an hboot that is a lower version, then you have to use revolutionary's s-off guide.

You can flash ROMs and a custom recovery both s-on and s-off, but if you don't want to unlock your bootloader like you said, then I would try to s-off your device.

Since you are running windows, you probably need the windows version of controlbear.exe. pm me and ask about it, otherwise, ask someone else who has the file.

Good luck! And I hope I answered the questions:)

I wouldn't worry that much about bricking your device. Just flash the right ROMs and you'll be fine. If you follow all the instructions step by step, then there's nothing that can go wrong.:)

After you finish tinkering with your phone, I would flash albino's ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37121632

It's silky smooth, has basically no major bugs, and I think the battery is better compared to other ROMs.

[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Be careful and do more research on unlocking the bootloader via HTC Dev.

It is not the complete unlocking sollution that HTC leads you to believe it is. It unlocks the bootloader in a very limited fashion, and prevents some full s-off methods from working at all without starting completely over and flashing an RUU (which wipes everything and restores the phone to the way it left the factory)

Meanwhile if you run into warrenty issues later, having used the HTC Dev website tells HTC that you messed with the phone and they could actually deny warrenty service based on that. But if you use other means to unlcoked the bootloader HTC wouldn't know anything about it, so if you flashed an RUU later to return it to bone stock it would be an S-On phone with a locked bootloader again. Warrenty shouldn't be affected.

Also keep in mind that you've got a 2 year old device. The warrenty probably isn't going to last much longer on it anway.
[HTC Sensation] Jeanz Sensation:
1. I am on 3 mobile and my phone is also not listed on HTCDev. But I chose Sensation (EU) which worked fine. I believe its for all devices issued in Europe.

2. HTCDev voids the warranty as well as wipes off the data. But if you are gonna flash custom ROM or overclock then I guess you would eventually say good bye to your warranty anyway!

3. Burn a live CD for Ubuntu 12.04 and use it for Controlbear wire trick method. You dont need to install Ubuntu if you dont want to. There are guides here which give you controlbear tool for windows but word of advice... use the live CD and follow unlimited.io website only. They have made their tool safer over the time. Trust me its worth every hassle.

4. I am sure you would have a spare network ethernet cable lying somewhere at your place, use that one. Otherwise, people have reported the paper clip to be working but make sure you insulate it properly.

5. Here are the overall steps for everything.

- Unlock bootloader via HTCDev

- Use controlbear tool and wire trick to gain S-OFF (the tool downloaded from unlimited.io for Ubuntu will install custom hboot itself)

- Install custom recovery

- Obtain Root by flashing the zip package via this custom recovery

- Flash custom ROM for ICS (Try Androidrevolution HD... its good)

- You can download apps from the market to overclock your cpu.

(Ofcourse you can install custom ROM without being S-OFF.. use Asskicker's guide, its comprehensive and easy to understand)

6. Read through Ganesh's guide properly and you may be able to flash custom ROM without unlocking bootloader.

7. Everyone should be afraid of bricking their device, I was too. But if you do everything as it has been mentioned in the guide, then you should be confident that everything will be fine.

A few days ago I S-OFFed my device and was scared to my bones that I would brick my device but once I did it, I am feeling so good about it now. The guys here have helped me so much.

I presume you are on 1.2x hboot version.

IM ****ting it!

Ok so i tried it , What i did :

I plugged in my phone and then i clicked root.bat

after temp root i clicked on control bear and it backed up my device etc

Then it told me to do wire trick so i tried my best and the phone went off

I then **** it and looked for flowolfs video on youtube , (the phone plugged in and control bear still running)

Control bear was telling me to check adb drivers and that it was waiting for my device .

I looked at flowolfs video and i unplugged my phone and then i plugged battery back in .

The phone works fine but i had to format sd card.

I went into bootloader but unfortunalty it shows s-on.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
well you havent even done the wire-trick

the controlbear is throwing driver errors means problem in connection ..check troubleshoot #1 in my soff guide
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Troubleshooting

Well control bear did say loading sixpacks to device but when it said do wire trick now the jupunutbear screen wasnt on ?

I dont have htc sync on laptop but i did have default htc sync on my phone as connection as i thought you needed it like this for temp root but after temp root UI isnt usable?

I now need help again , my bootloader is locked but i have s - off does it matter? (i didnt htc dev unlock )

Also what are my next steps ?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
flash 3.33 universal from firmware's thread in development section

it will give you also patched hboot which is unlocked

follow the instructions carefully

and before flashing check md5 sums(important)

don't do htcdev unlock.it is unecessary

Slow down a second, buddy. You're 1 step ahead of yourself. Though I respect your excitment fro this process!

You don't flash firmware in recovery. You flash firmware in bootloader.

Read this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=firmware

In it you will find the how to flash firmware (it's REALLY easy. Just make sure to follow the directions.) And you will be able to download the firmware files.

Short version is that you download the firmware file which will be caleld PM58IMG.zip, put it on your SD Card, and reboot into bootloader. Bootlaoder will install the new firmware for you. Don't watch it. Just walk away for 5 minutes, or you are liable to freak out when the screen goes blank during the process. More than one person has gotten scared when that happened and pulled the battey to stop it...which WILL brick the phone. So let it do it's thing in peace. It takes 2 mintues.

When it reboots you will have a shiny new firmware with a fancy updated bootloader as well.

And someone else please answer this...do Kohr-Ah's firmware packages have 4EXT recovery already included? Or perhaps CWM? So that they flash with the firmware? It's been too long sinc eI used one I can't remember.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
[MENTION=4323143]Skipjacks[/MENTION]

I don't think kohr-ah's firmwares have a recovery installed. Just the radio, adsp.IMG, hboot patch and other stuff that I don't know about. I don't see a recovery.IMG in the zip file. Unless the recovery is rcdata.IMG...
