[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raintouchpad:
i know... its just frustrating... i pretty much got it when it came out and convinced all my mates that it was the best phone out there at the moment (all the features are pretty nifty and its powerful ill admit)

funny thing was the camera was working perfectly before i took it in and didnt even think it needed replacing. the camera worked when i got it back the first time i opened the app but it had smearing (pink vertical lines on bright objects). after that it the app didnt open again and just has the "camera app failed" error.

as for the hardbrick guys i think the qualcomm drivers work but only if you can get your phone to turn on or enter d/l mode. mine was so fried out that it wouldnt show any signs of life even after getting the drivers.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
He probably means this: http://forum.legija.net/showthread....g-galaxy-S4-(i9505-and-similar)-via-USB-Cable

This was also samersh72's suggestion when i bricked mine. Problem is, there was no way for me to acces that qhusb mode thing as the phone was totally dead and doesn't even charge.

Jtag could probably revive it though.

Anyway, sent mine for repairs with

custom binary status and the samsung guys accepted it as there was no way for them to revive the phone(the motherboard was replaced). They didn't found out that it was modified.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
my PC detects it and so does the reocvery S4 tool, it starts to work then nothing happens when i try to enter download mode :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pigbenis12:
Bumping an old thread instead of making a new one.

When I run the tool, it doesn't really give me an error per se, just a CMD splay screen (making it unreadable) and then nothing.

What am I supposed to do after the tool runs? Proceed to download mode? Or flash using Odin right after running the tool?

Nevermind, I see what the problem is.

It reads status 29, cannot write to the specified device. DOA.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpirnie:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpirnie:
Is there anything I can do?

Or do I need to JTAG it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not sure does your phone start at all?

If it does you can fix it easier if it doesn't I'm not sure.

[No one judges you, only yourself do]
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpirnie:
It does not officially boot.

The screen simply stays black... as if the battery were 100% dead.

However, I have replaced the battery with a confirmed working brand new one, and still...

Now, when it is like this, and I plug it in to my Windows machine using the USB cable that came with it, Windows recognizes it as the QH USB something (I did make sure to install the drivers from that post)

I have JTAG jig on it's way (hopefully soon... this is my work phone :crying:), and I am hitting my local BestBuy tonight to see if they can at least get me to download mode... if I can get there, then I'm golden...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] randino41:
I have rooted two phones in the past but do not feel comfortable rooting my Verizon Galaxy S III. I'm looking to pay someone $15-$25 for their time to root my phone remotely. I'll pay through paypal, then provide my logmein user name and password so whoever can remotely complete the root while I watch. PLEASE, no first timers. I'll make a selection from those that respond. Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
follow a guide, take notes if you have to. print it out, highlight and read up. theres also videos that you can watch which you can pause and do each step alongside the video. thats how i started as I was cautious at first also.

it can be overwhelming at first, but its really not that difficult.

you can do what you want though. good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] randino41:
I've read over the guide multiple times and think I may just go ahead and try it. Thanks for the encouragement.... seems like that's all I needed..... lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Shouldn't be too difficult, Open1your1eyes0 made a very easy to follow guide.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] randino41:
One thing I couldn't find in the thread. Is an SD card mandatory? I don't have currently have one but will get one if necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
sd card isnt mandatory. the larger TW roms can be close to 1gb in size though.

theyre cheap on amazon if you wanted to grab one.

use that 15-25$ you were gonna pay someone to root with and buy a case and sdcard!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Yep, like others have said, read up and follow the guide. If you have any questions, just ask.

A few tips, make sure you unlock your bootloader and only flash roms for the Verizon galaxy s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] randino41:
Yal are awesome. Thanks. Ill post results later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkMenace:
I walked a guy though it over the phone on XDA 2 nights ago. He fully rooted his S4. I have all the files as well for rooting the S3. If you need help PM me a number to call and I;ll assist from start to finish.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
SD cards are not mandatory as mentioned before, but they are highly recommended as the only way you can lose data on them is if you explicitly tell your phone to format the card, a ROM flash will not format the card, and a ROM will never need the card to be formatted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JediMindTrixx:
The great part is even if you mess up and brick your phone you can always Odin back.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
Like everyone has said before follow the guides and it really is simple. make sure you read them several times and watch the videos. it is better to understand what you are doing upfront. I made the mistake of rooting a friend's phone one time and rooting my fiance's phone. It became a nightmare because he didn't take the time to read through the forums here on xda like I had asked him and it was constantly a pain trying to help him. I figured my fiance's incredible needed all the help it could get and she loved it rooted but with rooting there is always the occasional issue and it was easier for me to get her a note 2 then keep having her upset about her phone.

rooting sch-i535

very easy to root. Just did mine this weekend, took an hour or two of reading and trying several things. don't buy the gs3 toolkit v7.4.5 as it didnt work for me.. I think it was driver related but the recovery loads never worked.

What did work is, download odin 3.07, the vralec bootchain, cwm, and superuser w/ bootloader. you have to know what version you are on. go to settings, about phone. if it is 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439

follow the instructions step by step. In fact I'd highly recommend watching the video first and following it STEP BY STEP exactly how he does it.

Notes:

step3: get the Both Root and Unlocked Bootloader SuperUser. this needs to be on your External SDcard in your phone to follow the instructions per se. You are going to use 'load zip file from external SDcard' on the Recovery step.

The other files should be on your computer in your odin folder (or elsewhere that you can find them). All you need is VRALEC and CWM which will be loaded via the PDA button in Odin ONLY.

step5: I didn't restore the factory bootchain. just left it as is.. working fine for me

if you dont boot into custom recovery directly after flashing the VRALEC bootchain the phone will detect that you are screwing with it and reload the factory bootchain! it happened to me the first time. Had to flash a couple times and do things in the correct order to finally get CWM on there. You can see the difference between the factory recovery and CWM recovery (it has a little hat in the middle of the screen and text is different, etc) As long as you flash it with the PDA button ONLY you will be fine. DO NOT USE BOOTLOADER BUTTON IN ODIN AT ALL! Be very careful with Odin and triple-check that you are using the correct settings. It's very easy, but you can potentially brick your phone if you are not carefully looking at every setting. Take your time! :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys, i'm new in the forum so i can't post on the ROM thread. I just installed his 6.0 ROM and the 6.1 Update, and it's more then 10 minutes on boot, just vibrating, could someone help me? i don't know if it's the right place, move if it's wrong ! Thanks!

EDIT:

It's still on boot, and vibrating, i already restart it, should i re-install ? i had installed from XXLQB...

EDIT 2:

I re-instaled the 6.0, then booted it, then installed 6.1 update and now it works, sorry, MOD, you can delete the topic.

Thanks

I just flashed LiquidSmooth v2.5 with the following steps:

CWM backup onto internal sd card

Move Rom and Google apps to internal sd card

Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache

Format /system, Format /data

Install Rom, Google apps

Boot

However, now when I look at the internal storage of my phone through settings, there is 12.05GB available, but only 1.68GB free space. I have not downloaded any apps, and I have no media on the device (pictures, music, videos, etc). When I connect the phone to my computer and explore the internal storage, there is nothing there as well. I think there is a lot of stuff taking up room that I can't see. How do I get to those files to delete them and make more room? Is the problem that I am not using an external sd card?

Thanks in advance.

[NFC Hacking] CountParadox:
Hey everyone, So I want to get an NFC chip implanted into my hand, don't ask why, ill think of a reason later.

For now I just want somebody more knowledgeable than I to tell me if this tag I am looking at [xM1 [Mifare S50 2x12mm Glass Tag]] Would be compatible with the broadcom NFC chip in my Galaxy S4 I9505?

It says on the page, " 13.56MHz ISO/IEC 14443-A Mifare S50 1K RFID chipset "

I believe there is a rule I cannot post links to pages with products for sale ?

Its from a site called dangerous things, as that's the first I found selling implantable chips..

Share with me your information please :D And thank you in advance!

And while im at it, Im trying to think of some cool uses for it, Is it possible to write to it something that lets me use it to pay for things ?

I have heard of people that do this..
[NFC Hacking] Factionwars:
As far as i know the broadcom nfc chip does not support the mifare protocol. You may be able to write NDEF data to it but i don't think you will be able to use the original mifare protocol.

Also i suggest you look into chips who can run you custom code like javacard :)
[NFC Hacking] CountParadox:
Hmm, Alright, Thanks for that info!

Cant seem to find any non-Mifare 12x2 glass chips, so looks like ill have to wait :/
[NFC Hacking] ishmell:
We will have an NTAG203 based option coming to Dangerous Things soon... perhaps via a kickstarter. The NTAG203 is a NFC Type 2 compliant tag, meaning it will work with any certified NFC device or mobile phone.

I've had it in for probably about a month, I got it a day before we started our trip to burning man, and even out there with so little time to heal it was fine.

I love NFC and have been writing all kinds if crazy apps that utilize it, so the tag gets a ton of use. I'm planning on getting an NFC door lock and building and NFC auto start for my car. There are soany awesome things you can do with NFC, and having a secure one on you at all times is pretty awesome.

So, first off, ignore the "implications" guy. I cant tell you how many times ive heard its the mark of the beast, or that its a tracking device, or that its a dna harvester, etc etc. Cant beat crazy.

Anyways, I am an app developer, look up my name on the market. I LOVE NFC, most of my newer apps use NFC in some way. I have an app called NFCSecure that locks your device unless you have the nfc tag you setup as a key. thats a pretty big one.

Also tag a hue. turns tags into light switches for hue lights. i can lay in bed, scan my tag and if my light is off, it goes on and vice versa.

My ltest app is nfcvault. uses the tag as an encryption key for passwords, pins, etc.

[NFC Hacking] Summeroff:
I have waited too long to install an implant what I had bought few month ago. And now my new Note 3 does not support it. One more reason against proprietary protocols.
[NFC Hacking] phishfi:
OP, I'm not going to knock your idea of an implant, but I will strongly suggest holding off on something like that until solid, future-proof tags come around. I've seen countless things come and go, and NFC is still advancing really quickly. Unless you're planning on getting it taken back out in a year or two, it might just be best to make a wrist band or something.

As for security, I don't see the safety in using NFC unless you still have something memory based. In the case of asuit of some kind, they can simply tap the phone to your skin and unlock it against your will, while a password is impossible to get without you telling them...

ITT: Neckbeards raging about irrational conspiracy theories.

I've been wanting an implant myself, but have run into the same incompatibility issues. Were you planning on placing it in the tissue between your thumb and index finger? Other locations seem somewhat prone to rejection. I'm also concerned about the implant migrating.
[NFC Hacking] CountParadox:
Yeah, there in my hand. Depending on the type of tag at least... I would kill for one linked to my bank account xD

Im not too worried about it migrating, it should pretty much stay in place, and you could always push it back..
[NFC Hacking] pyryoer:
I know that the chips are encased in glass, but is there some type of coating or cover to allow tissue to grow in to it? That would keep it from sliding around a lot, and if it doesn't already exist could be a potential business venture. I have a pretty extensive background in biomedical engineering, which is why the subject interests me so much.
[NFC Hacking] CountParadox:

I have no problem with the ROM that I am using, but my phone calls get dropped all the time.

I am hoping that by upgrading the software, that this will stop.

We recently got 4G in the area, and I am excited about upgrading my software,

the issue is to what.

Software is your ROM. You need to update your firmware (radios).

I would update your firmware to the latest version. You can always downgrade if it doesn't suit your needs. I also suggest updating your profile and PRL (this must be done on a Sense ROM).

There are ROMs that disable the Exchange Security. This zip is not for those that need that or want that. This is for those who don't want the security disabled because disabling causes the HTML messages to not display and always reverts back to plain text.

1. Backup ROM in TWRP recovery.

2. Flash this zip over the top of your current custom ROM (as long as it is 1.29.651.10 base with Sense 5.0). Won't work on CM or AO built ROMs.
