[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ransdell2:
Got my phone JTAGed by Patrick Walls (whose service is available on eBay for ~$35), and it works great. Fast service and great communication from Patrick. The phone came back unrooted with a stock 4.1.2 ROM. Of course I immediately re-rooted it and flashed a fresh JellyBAM ROM to it (with a huge feeling of trepidation), and so far everything is working, with the exception of the camera (I get "Can't connect to camera" after taking one picture, and a reboot is the only thing that enables the camera again, for one pictures, then can't connect, reboot, one pic, can't connect, etc.).

Having never hard-bricked before after many, many ROM changes on a Fascinate and about 10 ROM changes on my S3, I'm a little nervous about changing them now. Is my hesitation unfounded providing I don't mess with the bootchain? To root my phone I flashed the VRALEC bootchain, then TWRP, then rooted, then JellyBAM, then the VRBMD3 bootchain, as per this rooting guide:

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

Now that I've put my phone back to the Jelly Bean bootchain, I should be free to flash ROMs built for my device without a serious concern about hard-bricking, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Glad you got it working.

There's always a risk of something going wrong and a hard brick reoccurring, you just had bad luck. I don't think your brick had anything to do with your bootchain.

I think what probably happened was when you made a nandroid in cwm, the boot partition somehow got corrupted. CWM by default restores your boot, recovery, data, system, and cache partitions. In the advanced restore section, you can restore one at a time but you have no way of simply disabling a particular partition from being restored. I think since the boot partition was messed up, it erased your good data and hard-bricked your phone.

TWRP by default only backs up your data, cache, and system partitions and leaves your boot and recovery partitions alone. If you restore that backup, then there's pretty much no way a hard brick can happen. I can't think of any reason why you really need to backup your recovery or boot partition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ransdell2:
Great, thanks for the info! I'll make sure that the boot and recovery partitions aren't touched in the future. I've primarily used CWM, but am probably just going to stick with TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mithos der Held:
I did a couple searches on the official search and on google and found nothing so if this is a repost my apologies.

I have a verizon galaxy nexus, that randomly has been giving a real issue with it's wifi. Not sure how it came to be. I flashed a new rom and kernel and latest radios one day and noticed it dipped. I can be on top of the router and only show 2 MAYBE! 3 bars. Once I walk about 20 feet away I have 0-1... so I went ahead and recovered my old rom and settings via nandroid. No difference. I went back and reflashed using twrp, my old radios as well. Still no difference. Now just today after dealing with this for about 2 weeks I went ahead and fastboot flashed my phone back to stock and everything... low and behold... no difference. So I have come to the conclusion it could be hardware related. I opened my phone up and I have been taking guesses as to which antenna is actually the wifi one as I can't seemed to find any identifying marks and all the tear downs I find are for GSM models. But while I was in there, i made sure the pogo points were making contact, I cleaned all the components with electronics cleaner and everything. No difference for worse or better frankly. So replacing the antenna I guess is the only idea I have left to see but I don't wanna buy a whole broken phone for several 100 bucks.

Thanks

Info on my phone:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpyazel:
I can't help with the location of the antenna, but have you tried other routers? I know some of these phones can have trouble with some. Mine in particular has a very hard time staying connected on the 5ghz band on my home router even when I'm two feet away. After forcing it to the 2ghz band, it worked fine. Might want to try a different router, or even find a free hotspot somwhere, to test on another one before attempting to replace the antenna.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mithos der Held:
Sadly, it's all routers. My house one if I sit on my bad barely receives signal from the router half way on the other side of the room. Meanwhile my laptop can pick up the signal halfway into my backyard. Worked fine before the symptoms began.

Work routers, we have 2. One is a private network for our printers, I sit approximately 15 feet away from it and have about 2 bars. My other one from the main network does not even appear anymore. It is about 20-30 feet away thru 2 walls. Prior to the issue popping up, I had full bars for the one and about 2-3 for the other.

Changing settings on my home router does nothing sadly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgeery:
and have you used an app like WiFi Analyzer to see what the signal looks like just to make sure that it isn't a cosmetic issue with the signal bars?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mithos der Held:
the one router it picks up at work is sitting around -80-90 dbm when I am at my desk.

Between -70-80 when I told it up the antenna. The 2nd router remains unviewable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgeery:
interesting... mine shows -44 sitting across the office from my router; -4 to -8 if I hold it right over the router so yeah, I'd agree that you defintely have something going on.

pardon my lack of re-reading the entire thread but have you reloaded your radios? remember that a Nandroid backup and flashing a ROM and that kind of thing doesn't necessarily update/replace radios.

maybe getting a copy of the appropriate version of radios from here on XDA and then manually flashing those?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sb777:
Hi. I'm having the exact same issue. Did you solve it? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] disturkis4u:
So I'm not sure what I did but to keep it simple I was trying to flash ROMs like I always do but while flashing it gave me an error. Now when I'm in recovery and try to even wipe or install a new rom, it keeps saying failed. something is wrong with /system. I can't flash anything on the device or restore my backup file to it because of the error.

I would like to ODIN back to stock because at this point I'm not sure what else to try. The problem is, I can't seem to find an ODIN link to download anywhere..I've tried about 6 links but none of them actually work.

I'm also on a time constraint (need to head to class). blah!

If anyone could help with either getting this thing working OR providing me with a copy of the .tar file to restore via Dropbox or something I'd be forever grateful.

I'd definitely research before you just jump into custom roms. I'm pretty ameture myself. And it took me a while to get used to it.

If your not sure. Just ponder about and when your ready make sure you find someone willing to give you an idiots guide like I did.

There are some pretty darn helpful peeps on here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] supercho:
You should just flash the ROM, but study just a bit. The more mistakes you make the more you learn. lol.

Copy ROM into sd card then boot into recovery by hold vol up + vol down + and pwr button the same time while the phone is off then go to sd card then select the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
Wow this thread has many errors. First this phone is not samsung galaxy s $g and I am not sure of the t_mobile service provider. Next you can't install a room on a phone, its not a TARDIS.

I know I am being a jerk and am sorry about it.

Read the stickies on the forum, then read the posts, then read some more. When you think you are good to go then reread everything. Finally just try it and expect you will soft brick your phone at least twice, don't worry this phone is very tough to actually brick.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crockashat:
I have been searching the forums for this on several occasions and so far no luck. I am not a noob, but I would not call myself a seasoned veteran either. I have the T-mobile variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) it is rooted and I am currently on Deviant Developments Wicked V3 Rom (Thanks evil1art for a very solid daily driver)

This is either a question or a request to someone who has the information or ability to create a means to be able to add buttons to the quick settings menu that will work for the Torch/Flashlight and also to keep the screen on until I turn it off or press the power button (max time out in the menu is 10 minutes).

I have seen on several posts from Misterjunky, Dannyben, and others posts associated with these toggles do show the "Torch" button, and I have tried several modifications including: Torch;TorchLight;FlashLight;Flashlight; to the Settings Storage/settings.db/system file using SQLite and even after saving-exiting-rebooting the device, this specific feature has not worked on my SGH-M919 or several other posting menber's devices either.

Any help in getting these toggles working would be greatly appreciated and something I would be willing to donate to for a working solution.

These Threads were helpful in being able to add some of the "missing" toggles I.E. = ;Brightness;MobileData;WiFiHotspot; that work perfectly and I would like to thank; The Poetic Vampire, Gam3r 4 Life, and MalekoUK for their informative posts.

I think this is possible with Nottach module on xposed framework, but as I have never been able to get this module to work on my phone, I can't say for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crockashat:
really like the pull down menu for quick buttons

Actually i did try nottach's module 2 days ago even though technically it's for the AT&T variant. This module did allow for some tweaking but not all features worked for me either, some worked nicely {unfortunately they were the secondary frills and not the primary ones I wanted ... like the long press on the brightness button to activate the torch feature and the sound volume warning cancel} that may have something to do with the kernel I'm not sure exactly {I am running the "stock" one that came with the DD Wicked v3 ROM} .

Right now I am stuck with using widgetsoid to get easy access toggles to the torch and keeping the screen on, and don't get me wrong it is a good alternative and I have had good luck with it in the past for both my wife and I. I just flat prefer the ability to pull down on any screen I am on and have easy access to the features I use the most.

I was rooted with CM10.1.0 and was casually using the phone until it randomly turned off. I turned it back on and the only thing that happened was the "Galaxy SIII" screen flashed and turned off again. I popped out the battery multiple times to be welcomed with the same problem again. I can't boot into Download or Recovery at all. Anyone know how to fix this? (btw im on AT&T SGH-i747)

Your mobile phone very very bad dead. Have to repair boot with Riff box...and Not your work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Please don't provide false or miss leading information.

To OP. Fully charge your battery or use another one if its corrupt.

Try booting up into both recovery or download mode using the proper combination.

Use this guide to get your phone fully working again.

In some instance (very rare) your phones hardware can malfunction, but seeing how it still boots up I doubt its that's.

Follow my guide and you should be fine.

Mr jayrokk

Mobile phone cant into download mode or recovery!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danvee:
Not without a charged battery. That's why replacing it was the first suggestion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
But it boots up.

As long as a phone is able to boot up its fine.

Like I said please do a little more reading and research and don't spread false information.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
What about with it plugged into the charger and try to get to download mode. I thought I bricked my s2, took the battery out but it stayed on. Thought it was possesd bit it was plugged in to USB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danvee:
Can't hurt to try.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Carsus55:
Definitely recommend download mode with cable plugged in to computer. Are you sure recovery doesn't work while plugged in to power?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r8revealed:
Yep. It just loops on the splash screen. I'll try charging it to full and repeating your solutions. (It died off at 80%, very strange). Thanks for your replies though!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r8revealed:
Ok guys, seems that my issue isnt the phone being bricked. I left the battery out all night and popped it in the next morning. CM loaded just fine. However after about 10 seconds of it loading, the power menu flashed, i clicked cancel, and then it immediately shut down again, and the usual problem continued. Any thoughts? (btw the phone died at 80% battery the first shut down it had, right now it should have been nearly 100% after charging) Also, connecting it via USB doesn't help at all. Sometimes the blue recovery words flash when i try to boot into recovery, but nothing happens after that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
It could be a bad battery. Might also be the battery contact points. Worse case is something is wrong with power channels on the Mobo. If it is the last then you will have to warranty the phone if you're still covered. I would borrow a battery first to rule out whether or not it is the battery itself.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Also make sure the power button isn't stuck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r8revealed:
The power button seems to operate normally, but that could also be one of the things that are causing problems. Once i find someone nearby with an S3 battery i'll see if it's actually a battery problem (most likely the case).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r8revealed:
I'd thought i'd mention this as well, whenever i pop in the battery, the phone vibrates and tries to turn on, but doesnt actually do it. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? power button maybe, but battery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
If the battery out all night boots past the splash screen maybe you could, if you haven't, leaving it out and first thing try download mode. I've been in bad spots but this pretty crappy. Probably to technical for me but Good luck. Let us know how you do if none of the posts help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r8revealed:
Found the problem. The power button is always acting as if it's being pushed down when it actually isnt. The phone starts up perfectly when i hold the phone horizontally with the power button facing down. then when i put it back into portrait mode, the power menu flashes, and its turns off. any knowledge on how to fix this then? :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Nice!!!

Um I'd say taking apart the phone or mailing back for warranty even try taking it to an att store.. Its hardware and not software so they should replace it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Warranty it. Mess witht power button some more. Sometimes it will get unstuck.

My review:

After playing for about 1 hour i love the cell shaded borderlands style graphics!

Theirs quite alot of missons with different objectives and alot of variety so u wont get bored.

Theirs also a small sense of free roaming where ur allowed to do what u want... But the game bugs u about the missions a bit.

The economy system is perfect, i think they found a good balance of IAP + Mediocre Coin System.

The performance is silky smooth!

One thing i would have love to seen is having NPC's actually play with u! Enough babble, heres the verdict:

- If ur a Borderlands Fan and dont mind playing Games On the touchscreen, BUY IT!

- If u prefer games in XPO Style then either wait till they XPO It or wait till someones makes a .gkp

- If u like RPG Games alot and love this mixed with a bit of FPs action Then BUY it!

Hey Guys just want to say that the game is ok... it kind of sucks to much for it to be good as here are my bad points:

- No Viewbobing (like borderlands)

- Weaps drop WAYYY To much, by the time u buy a gun, a new one drops thats like 1-2 stats better, :/

- Inventory is to small

- after first couple of missions everything becomes boring due to lack of variety in missions

- very linear

- No Dedicated left analog (movement)

- Glitchy Controls, Costed me 7 lives
