[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloman247:
I'm working with the Galaxy s3 I747M (Telus)

My phone was recently soft-bricked after trying to mess with ChainFire3D (idiot, I know) I didn't even check compatibility, loooool

Anyways I put everything back to stock, (Android 4.1.1) I'm now rooted and have CMW installed, I'm now just trying to install Cyanogen mod(Andoird 4.2.2.)

I placed the rom on to my SD root as normal and tried to install via Rom Manager, couldn't find it, couldn't manually in CWM either. Then noticed something funny, all the directories that were appearing were indeed from my phone's storage, but listed as /sdcard. So to test that theory I placed my custom rom in to my phone's root, bingo it appears, same if I go to it manually in CMW.

I tried to be passive about this issue and continue to install the rom, but once in CMW, the installation fails. I'd like to believe it has something to do with this directory issue, any thoughts? Everything is detected normally on the computer so just changing the names around isn't really an option, please help! D:

good evening, i have noobed up my phone in my first attempt to root a phone. it is an HTC vivid, i used hansoon's all in one toolkit v2.1 and followed all the steps and it worked. i installed titanium backup to confirm. i next tried to change the kernel to holicakes 2.6.35.14. it did its thing then went to the htc white screen and nothing else. i read through many messages to find an answer and was able to learn how to get to fastboot hboot. from the top of the screen it reads

*** UNLOCKED ***

HBOOT-1.85.0025

MICROP-0360

HBOOT

VOL UP

VOL DOWN

POWER

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

from there i did a factory reset and it put me back to the white screen. (i have no sd card installed during the entire process)

i went to recovery and tried to flash the kernel again, it says flash it twice. same thing. i tried to flash a recovery, i tried both cwm 5.5.04 (GB) and WCXs cwm (gb/ics), same. ive tried installing a rom from my sd card and the fastboot did its thing and kept saying image not found.

i could really use some help here and i'll actually front what cash i can, or if you live in the DFW area i'll supply you with beer. any help that i recieve needs to be in simple specific terms and step by step instructions. i'm an automotive mechanic, not a computer guru. many thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I used to be an automotive mechanic.... Anyway when you flash an incompatible kernel this happens, best bet from there is to flash a know working kernel (or the backup you made just prior)

But I'm assuming you didnt make a backup and now have possible wiped more than you expected. Without knowing more about your phones current condition I would just wipe all in recovery and then flash a known working ROM (and anything else you need like gapps) then reboot.

You still have radio security flags turned on so I doubt you did much damage, just borked the system or boot partition is my guess

Good luck!

[General Questions and Answers] cameron91zombie:
I'll try and keep this short.

I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. I decided to root the phone and install twrp. Now i need to send it back for warranty due to a green mm thick line running from top to bottom.

I ran Odin and installed a stock firmware to restore it to factory standard and to unroot and to delete the twrp.

But a few things are different. Upon booting i now do not have the company logo (optus) appear after the Samsung logo, and a few missing apps that came installed on the phone.

Do you think the company will pick up on these missing factors??

Thanks in advance.

Hello all. I am in need of some help. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 R530UW by uscellular. I tried loading different software onto the phone. The software was from a different carrier. Once loaded, the phone no longer turns on and no longer is recognized when plugged into the usb of the computer. I can't do anything with it. I was wondering if there is someone who could either tell me how to fix it or maybe some I could send it to for reflash. any help would be appreciated as this phone is brand new. thank all

Ouch! :eek: why you did that? :confused:

Whatever hope you learn your lesson here is the solution, and sent you a PM with the link.

(this could help if you can boot to download mode or recovery if not you are DOOMED)

If you can boot into download mode power+vol down+home then you can restore it and update if necessary. I saw the stock tar on another forum/site.

Hi experts here.

I bought a S3 that has the following info.

Currently I lived in Philippines and want to upgrade my OS firmware from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2.

What will be the best region/firmware should I use with ODIN?

Will I still have signals from local cellphone provider here? (because someone told me that when I flashed this with US firmware, I will not gain anymore local phone signals here in the Philippines).

Please help.

Thank you in advance.

Do not flash American firmware on your phone, you will most likely brick it.

Only flash i9300 firmware

HELP ME!

Its gotta go back tomorrow, Ive searched for hours and I cant seem to find an easy guide to unroot my AT&T One X!

This is beyond frustrating!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
It's not the easiest thing to do.. What state is your phone in now? hboot? supercid? S-ON? S-OFF?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Raadius:
HBOOT = 1.09

S-ON

No SuperCID, I used SpoofCID.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Spoof cid is the same thing as SuperCID, get your cid by using fastboot command:

fastboot oem readcid

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
I see.

First you will need to S-OFF http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155071

I don't know if spoofCID will work, you may need to supercid first. it is quite easy with your hboot.

adb shell
su
echo -ne "11111111" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20

Then once you are S-OFF, Run an RUU for your carrier. With S-Off, it won't matter what software version. It will get you on stock software and remove Tampered text

Rewrite your CID

fastboot oem writecid CWS__001

Then you can use Regawmod and spoof your unlocked to Locked http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2156368

You can also spoof your S-off to S-on, or claim your phone came with S-off if they ask or actually set it back to S-on with:

fastboot oem writesercureflag 3

Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Raadius:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Raadius:
Do I have to be S OFF though? You said SpoofCID is the same as SueprCID, so can I skip the S-OFF step and run the RUU?

How do I do all this adb shell terminal stuff? Im new to this...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You need to be s-off or you'll brick. The command stuff is pretty simple, do you have adb/fastboot installed on your pc?

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
The only thing you need to know is for the fastboot commands your phone needs to be in bootloader and for adb commands your phone needs to be booted into android. Then all you have to do is copy paste the commands into your command prompt.

Just shift right click in the folder where you have fastboot and adb and select "open command prompt here" to get a command line Window open.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dominicag2000:
Has anyone been able to get the 'WiFi tether for Root Users' or TrevE Mod working in Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 or any AOSP ROM on the SGH-T999? I ask because I haven't. I reached my 500mb cap for this billing cycle and want to maybe prevent that from happening in the future, or at least get it working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
What you are attempting to do is not possible? They should be able to measure the amount of data that goes through your phone, because it can be done on their end, so there would be nothing for you to exploit. My understanding of the tethering hacks were that they allowed you to tether if you didn't have the tethering provision on your account (whether you did not pay for it, or are unlimited, and they don't give you the option). I've seen the hacks that claim to be able to bypass the data caps, but unsure why it would be implemented in such a way that anyone could exploit it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dominicag2000:
Well of course they can watch my data use, but whether or not I'm tethering with that data is another thing. I was able to use about a gig and a half last billing cycle on their unlimited plan, by just using TrevE mod (no vpn app) on Touchwiz based roms and only about 300mb showed in the tmo my account app.

I was under the impression from what I've read that apps like TrevE mod can give you more access untell they put the kibosh on you, and if you go though a VPN you can use it all you want cause all of the network traffic is going though the VPN app not Windows and Chrome etc. which they look for.

I'm mainly wondering if that app 'WiFi Tether For Root Users/TrevE mod' has worked at all in AOSP, even 4.1.x.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I think T-Mobile has improved their detection and now know when you're using those apps or mods. Lately everyone seems to be reporting that they do not work.

As to whether or not you could use em in cm, I doubt it. If you didn't see it say so in the op and it wasn't reported working by others posting in the thread, it's safe to say it doesn't.

Did you search and read through the thread?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dominicag2000:
I haven't seen tethering or hotspot mentioned at all in any T999 AOSP op i've looked at which is discouraging. For CM10.1 people seem to only talk about the the included tether.

As for 'WiFi Tether for Root Users' its so widely used any thread I look at is device specific most of the time, and/or for that devices stock rom. But there are so many settings in there though I thought maybe someone got it working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If they did they would have posted it in the mods thread if anywhere. But if it can't be done you could almost certainly find that info in the same thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redlandsailor:
CyanogenMod 10, TrevE-Mod, tetherin' with no VPN on phone.

I am running CM10, rooted on a SGH-T999. Following the forums I downloaded Hotspot Shield as the post stated it was the only shield (VPN or otherwise) that would work with TreveE-Mod Wifi-Tether. Sadly, I found that using Hotspot Shield really slowed down my connection to a crawl and also caused problems using tether to stream Netflix, Hulu+. etc. I did find another VPN app that worked (Hideninja VPN) but it also slowed me down tremendously and caused issues with nationwide streaming copyright protections on Netflix, etc. as well. I do pay the $30 for T-Mob's unlimited albeit shackled internet package.

I have a newer Dell laptop running WIN8 and have not tested this on any other version of Windows but:

My SGH-T999, CM10 and TreveE-Mod all work together flawlessly to give me a T-Mob upsell to WiFi hotspot message in my browser whether I change the User Agent or not. :crying::crying::crying:

Then I installed UltraSurf VPN on my laptop and my tethered speeds are AWESOME!! WITHOUT having to change my User Agent settings.

No need for Hotspot Shield or HideNinja.... no VPN setup on my phone, just UltraSurf on my puter and the tortoise has turned into a hare!

Totally Terrific Time Tethering Together Today and Tomorrow.... U GIT THE IDEAR! :good::good::good::good::good::cool:

This was originally created to help the Chinese surf safely to out of country sites and to help clear out all data from being retrieved should their system be forensically searched.

theyre pushing the boundaries already, they must have known that the snapdragon 800 was going to be released soon when they released the s4

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
There's really no need for an S4 with Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 330 (i9506).

Sure on paper it may perform better than the current S600 version, but will we notice in real life usage? Probably not.

The original Galaxy S4 S600 variant is more than enough hardware to run anything we throw at it, at least for the next year.

So be happy with with your S4 and just wait till the S5 is released, this will be even better again than i9506 version.

And so the cycle continues. This is simply technology for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rahulrulez:
Exactly.. If I get good after sale service from Samsung. I am more than happy of for that.. Samsung sucks in maintaining public relations and keeping promises.. They are liars, cheaters..

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank7795:
IMO Samsung is doing this to keep up the competition with the recently released HTC One.

Their very first S4 may have been better in terms of specs but those who used HTC One and S4 in real life knew the difference and knew that HTC One was way better.

Therefore, they are trying to win this competition by releasing another variant of this device with better specs and also trying to reason the price.

But a word of advice to Samsung. There are not many people who know that there are so many variants of a single device. People just come in at a mobile store and ask for a S4. They seriously do not mention a particular variant no.

So Samsung, plz stop sh***ing around and plan on releasing better mobile phones like HTC one and not some plastic mobile with ground breaking specs thrown in which are not 100% compatible with each other.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rahulrulez:
To be specific, Every variant (except minis) of SGS4 has performed very very well against HTC One in terms of performance, battery life and camera too..

The competition is not HTC One.. They already are way way ahead than HTC One in terms of sales (5m vs 20m)..
