[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Ok, I'll ignore it then. I'm on Windows 7. I have the exact same problem with an old XP machine. Drivers report installation is successful, but once it's plugged in, drivers are either not found and/or weren't installed right. I've tried installing them in safemode, with no difference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
1) Plug phone into computer.

2a) In the control panel, uninstall Kies and SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones.

2b) In the Device Manager, right click > Uninstall the phone device. Check the delete drivers box if it is there. Rescan for hardware changes.

3) Repeat step 2b until the phone shows up as "Android".

4)

Unplug phone from the computer.

5) Install these: http://db.tt/nugwjVWT

6) Plug phone in - if still not working, it's an issue with your phone's micro USB port, your cable, your USB port, or your Windows installation.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Thanks, as soon as I get back in from walking a dog I'll try this out. Thanks btw, for all the help thus far.:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
I'm starting to suspect the cable. It's not the original one, but I had to use another micro usb cable as my cat decided to chew on the other one until it fell apart. Haven't had an issue with charging, but it may be the cause with the PC to phone connection.

Did all the steps but:

is where I'm at.

Looks like I'll have to postpone this until tomorrow afternoon, and see if I can't utilize another neighbor's computer, one which has never had problems with the PC to phone connection (and I only hope that stays true with this current cable).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Well I think I'm effectively screwed.

I even managed to get the exact same usb cable from a neighbor who also has an S3.

On this laptop (Win7) or the other neighbor's desktop (WinXP), I'm seeing the yellow triangle and/or a yellow question mark next to the device in device manager, regardless of how many times I try the proper steps you've listed. :( Odin can't detect the phone.....:crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Grab the ADB drivers from my signature. After you install them, start ADB sideload mode in TWRP. See if that works. Just looking to see if the system will detect the phone, and install the drivers properly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Ok, did so on the XP machine. It detected "Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface" and said it installed sucessfully. It's listed in the device manager under "Android Device", the properties listing its manufacture as "ClockwordMod" and location is "Location 0 (SAMSUNG_Android_SGH-T999)".

The ADB sideload in TWRP says "Usage: adb sideload filename.zip" and also "Starting ADB sideload feature...", but hasn't done anything further for the past 12min.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
It's not supposed to do anything (it's for adb sideloading), I just wanted to see if the driver would install.

What happens if you put the phone in download mode and connect to PC after installing the 1.5.23 drivers from my signature?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Ok, trying download mode now....

Phone lists the following:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGHT-T999

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: Enable

Other than that just "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"

The Win XP machine notes it as "Samsung Android Interface" and nothing more.

The Win 7 machine lists it as "Samsung Mobile USB Modem".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Does Odin see it now?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Negative. Tried on both XP and 7 in download mode with Odin up and running.

Edit... tried again on the 7 machine, got this:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Flash away.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Ok, so just download this one: http://d-h.st/Arn from the list here under root66 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 and load it up in Odin, and etc? I wish I could recall just which one I had found to use with this particular phone, but that's a long forgotten memory....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Yep, or LJC.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Alrighty, downloading... about 10min left. Once done, unzip it and point Odin's bootloader to the file and start? Don't need to check off any other boxes? Sorry, guess I should go look at the Odin topic, but since you've been such amazing help:good:, figured best to ask here while it downloads the file.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Leave boxes alone, and put the .tar.md5 file in the PDA slot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Ok.

So far, so good?

....Should anything else happen? It's been a bit of time and it's still showing the download mode on the phone's screen and "Leave CS..." on Odin. Sorry if it's an obvious answer.... I've been quite frazzled by this suddenly not working at all the past few days...:silly:

*derp* I forgot about hitting "start".... just remembered.

*edit 3*

Ok finished with Odin:

Saw the normal S3 splash screen, then the Android installer with progress bar etc....

Now the S3 splash screen again.............. and......um.......ok.....this isn't good, it's been on the splash screen for 3min now..... ugh
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did it finally boot up?

If not go back to recovery and factory reset again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Never did, gave it 15min to do so.

Entered recovery, factory resetting now....Completed. Rebooting system now....

Ok, got past the s3 logo and did the little jingle..... Currently at the glowing "SAMSUNG" screen..... Ah! Finally at the welcome screen!! :D

Ok, now best method to get back to CM and so forth?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Awesome! Glad to hear youre up and running again.

Great job [MENTION=4788211]Aerowinder[/MENTION]!

First, install your preferred recovery using Goo Manager or Rom Manager and make a full nandroid backup.

Take a break!!

For CM or any other rom, just flash in recovery and you should be good. Going from TW to CM though you may need to factory reset again before rebooting after the flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Me too! I've felt so "disconnected" without my phone the past few days, plus it's been substituting as my primary computer for a few months so....it was seriously bad that this all happened without warning.

Thanks, I feel as if I should know all this but I'm wiped out...

Quick stupid question, after all this the MAC address of the phone should still be the same? I have tomato installed on my router, and restricted access to certain MAC addresses....but of course with my computer down I can't access it, and even if I could do so via another device I don't recall the password.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Your mac shouldn't change. Its hardware related.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Thanks, I thought as much but figured it was worth asking.

Currently finished flashing CM, and all appears to be working alright. Once I flash gapps (and I hope unlike the last time I have no keyboard issues) all that's left is to try and restore what I was able to backup a few days ago. I'm hopeful I did everything right and such, as I really need the data stored in some apps....

I'm going with just data, since I figure that's the safe bet for not having the system get all fudged up again... especially since the original issue was/is a big unknown.

*edit*

Back up and running! Apps and their data are fully restored!!! :D I cannot thank you both enough for all your continued help!!!!

I do have one question, I cannot seem to mount the 64GB external SD card.

Do I need to format it (obviously transferring data beforehand)? TWRP had no issues accessing it....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah, I think you need to format it. CM and aosp don't recognize exFat. Its built into tw and the recovery which is why it worked there.

Do a search to be sure but I think its best to format as FAT32...if I'm remembering right.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Looks like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38182488#post38182488 is a way to go.... Or a seemingly less complex method here: http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...-format-sd-card-especially-64gb-fat-32-a.html

Is there a good reason why neither support/recognize exFat?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup, because Samsung hasn't released their code for it. Its requires the kernel and modules from a stock touchwiz rom as I recall.

Its been a while so I may be a little off with all this, but until sammy releases the source code, it probably won't be seen on any non tw roms.

---------- Post added at 03:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 AM ----------

Lol! Guess I shoulda looked at the links first! I don't have a 64gb card so never kept up on the issue....obviously!

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

It looks like the first link will get you the ability to use it as exFat. The second will help you format it as FAT32.

If the mod works ok, I'd go with exFat.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
I'd hope one day it'll be supported. I would prefer to be able to save 4GB+ files to it via my phone... But I guess this'll do for the time being.

Currently using the Win7 laptop's SD card reader to transfer files from the 64GB card to my internal storage (no issues whatsoever with drivers and the phone in normal system mode!) before formatting the card for use in the phone.

Everything appears to be working perfectly. I'll keep the nandroids and everything else required in a safe place however.:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I don't have a lot of time to read up on it, but I'd look more into the exFat mod if it were me. Would save some hassle in the long run.

Up to you on that though!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GB452:
Gave it a go and the results are quite good!

I do have another, hopefully final question, this afternoon the system froze once and afterwards I noticed some lag and graphic issues. I switched it to "disable HW overlays" as that fixed the screen flicker issue I had prior to all of this and so far so good, but is there a way to check the integrity of the internal SD card/system overall?

Hi all,

I've just upgraded my XDA II courtesy to the great work of people here - thanks guys! Landscape mode, blisss... :)

I want to backup/archive my original device ROMs just in case anything disasterous happens and I need to revert to them. Is there a way to copy them from the SD card that I backed them up onto to a CD or even just to PC?

Many thanks,

Yup. Tried everything I could find too. And more. Nothing works. Probably made it worse. Like being in quicksand.

- Apps won't update or download. "[Update for] "App" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]

- All under my apps gives me "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]

- Apps still show up a "Purchased" on the phone but...

- Apps do not show up as "Purchased" on the Google Play Website (Grrr.)

- Selecting "My Apps Apps" brings up the error "We're sorry, there was an error. Please try again later. turns up an error." but...

- If I download a new app using the web store, that one app shows up on Google Play Website and the error is gone for a while.

I called Google Play Support and they very nicely said it's a known issue with no workaround and have no idea when it will be fixed by 'Engineering' and those don't tell us much.

Geez. I never thought Google would disappoint me this much.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
I see....

No errors at all on my end....regardless of rom or framework.....so far...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brad.S.:
Had this issue...

Solved it like this:

First I deleted all google accounts on the phone.

Cleared data/cache and force stopped play store, framework, and play services.

Rebooted phone.

Added back all accounts, main account first (not req.. Just easier)

Open play store, menu, select account.

At first I thought it was a play store apk issue because I have a multi-dpi inverted play store.. So I loaded a normal play store apk and three other modded ones.

Ended up going back to the original modded one and started doing the above.

Edit:

Read this thread from beginning to end.. Many different options.

Unfortunately i think all of us who are affected by this apparent account "corruption" on Google's servers are out of luck until this gets more mainstream exposure. I spoke with 2 Google support techs which was a complete waste of my time. The techs seem to be aware of the problem yet continue reading from scripts like robots. I've yet to read of a single account of someone getting this issue resolved where the account is corrupt on Google's servers. As with everyone else who is suffering from this issue, I'm frustrated and I see no evidence of any progress being made to resolve this issue any time soon.

Since this account is tied to 3 android devices i own...all devices suffer from the same issue.

VERY FRUSTRATING!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Edit:....

I was full stock when I posted this Andrew. ..so then I tested a theory. .

The device got rooted with CF auto root. ..

I deleted all user data, wiped caches, and started fresh with root only. .

Then set up my Google account and presto. ...error

So I wiped again and pushed TWRP and restored my stock backup. ..then used triangle away and returned to bone stock. .

I set up the phone again. ..and no errors. ..

Now. ..I am not saying that Google is looking for root or SU permissions...but that's sure what it looked like. ..

It's possible I suppose ???

Even though many users are rooted and have no errors ??

It just seems too coincidental that I triggered and removed the errors via root and unroot....

Just my .02....g

I switched off all of my devices.. Then I keep one only...

Go to system

Privacy

Unmark back up my data

Then make a factory reset..

After that the device will be opened again...

Put your email

Unmark restore my account in this device (in the first setup)

After setup is finished go to market.. Then you will find all your purchased apps and even your pending updates.

Try to retrieve one of your purchased app, and update one app

That is it.

Now open your other devices.. All well be fixed.

I tried the method of deleting Google account but it didn't work.

I think this is because of many devices working in same time and syncing all the time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] maedox:
I revoked Android privileges in my Google account and checked that all devices were unable to login/sync. Then I cleared data for Play, Google services/framework etc., readded account. All to no avail. I think we have proven that the issue is with the Play/Google servers and/or account corruption, not the devices. That's why I said you were probably lucky. It might not be that black and white, though.

For me it usually works to just retry the Play requests a few times.

Oh, and I have a Google Apps account that works perfectly fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] datanetresource:
It looks like Google may be getting somewhere in resolving this issue. I woke up this morning to see all my previously installed apps showing up in Google Play Store on my device. However, Play Store was not recognizing any of my previously paid apps as purchased. I also still could not run a couple of the paid apps on my device since the app wasn't being recognized as purchased.

I logged on to play.google.com/apps and went to the "MY ANDROID APPS" tab (which has been giving me an error and displaying nothing the past few days) and all my apps were now showing up there as well. In addition, previously paid apps were showing correctly as purchased.

So I went back to my device and cleared data for Google Play Store and Google Services Framework and then rebooted my phone. After accepting the Google Play Store terms all my installed apps are now showing up properly including the paid apps. I'm also able to run the couple of paid apps that previously would not run because they weren't being recognized as purchased.

I did get a couple of server timeouts as I was updating apps but those proceeded fine once I clicked retry (perhaps Google's Play Store servers are getting hammered right now due to whatever fix they implemented). So it looks like my issue is finally resolved with my corrupt Google Play account. Not sure if that will be the case for everyone or if it was a matter of the few calls I had with Google support which focused their attention on fixing my particular account.

I hope this helps anyone plagued with this corrupt Google Play account issue.

Blood pressure lowered and happy again...:)
