Even if it is expensive, the price on the 9505 will drop when the 9506 comes out so either way it makes sense to wait a few weeks if you can.

Oh and contrary to some opinions the 9505 will not suddenly turn into a crawling pile of crap just because the 9506 is available. It will still be one of the most powerful phones on the market.

I need a method of completely resetting any and all aspects of Microsoft active sync on the device side without resorting to a hard reset.

i do not care how long this takes or how many registry entries i need to change but i really really really need to get this sync issue fixed and every where else i turn has the same tired 5 step sorry your screwed speech and i have tried it many times.

please someone give me more advanced debugging that can actually help me fix this.

ok now that my pathetic rant is out of the way the issue is one of the classic device is plugged in. all drivers have been reinstalled multiple times and while the phone says it is connected windows mobile device manager says that there are no connected devices and will not display a dialogue to add a new connection. Bluetooth syncing is similarly impaired

steps taken to date.

deleted all current pairings

uninstalled all drivers and windows mobile device center allowed windows update to reinitialize everything.

tried plugging the phone in using active sync with both advanced network functionality and with this option disabled

so that is everything any of the trouble shooting sites have mentioned so far. at this point i believe the issue is at the phone level and has something to do with the network portion of the usb connection process as the network driver for the phone shows that the computer is sending data but receiving no packets from the phone.

all fire walls on my system have already been disabled.

I FIXED IT

Here's the Link to my Guide.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2369125

Okay, So here's what I did.

I flashed the latest Illusions ROM for my S3 and the Slim AIO 7 for 4.2.2 (since Illusions is based out of SLIM, AOKP, PA, CM, ETC). Then TWRP 2.6.0.0 said that SuperSu wasn't installed (what the heck?!?!?) and it prompted me to install su so I was like "What the heck, why not" so I swiped for yes. Then the screen went black for a good 20 minutes. I got worried, did a battery pull and tried to but straight to recovery... no bueno. Same for booting to dl mode. I plugged my phone in to my computer without the battery and the red LED comes on for 10 seconds and then it dies. It prompted windows to install the QHUSB_DL driver and it failed. WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!?

Is there anything I can do to unbrick it?

Do I have to JTAG/JIG or what? If so, can anyone direct me to it? (Last resort)

I'm on the MD4 bootloader and modem.

I really need to get this phone fixed before I go to basic on the 23rd of July.

Other info: Yes, I already went to the local Sprint store (not to get a replacement. That would be irresponsible of me considering my S3 is built by me from the MoBo on up) to get help on flashing it back to stock.

Have you looked at this thread

[HOW TO] Unbrick your Sprint phone from flashing an International gsm boot imag

I JUST FIXED IT! LOL. I'm in the middle of Barnes and noble and I just fixed it. I'll put down directions for a HOW TO for my method, but it involves having Linux.

glad to hear you got it working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deBricker:
Yes, well, some people would like the convenience of not having to send their phone off and spending 60 dollars to get it fixed. And there are many ways to hard brick an S3 and I think that this would be a convenient way of fixing their phone.

Mine was a legit mistake. I'm a veteran flasher of ROMs and everyone does slip up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well if you do something like that, you should own up to it and pay the $60 bucks to get it fixed. International roms don't magically wind up on your flashing queue in recovery.

I obviously can't stop you from posting anything, but just keep that in mind.

Good day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deBricker:
Yes, well. I can't exactly do that since I'm in the Navy and I'm going to be gone for the next two months. I prefer to find a method BEFORE paying the 60 dollars to unbrick. Dude, this to help everyone. YES I MADE A MISTAKE. We all do. I understand its frustrating. Even I get frustrated. But why should I pay 60 dollars to have someone else fix my phone when I can fix it myself? I'm not a noob at flashing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
It's a fine line we walk... We here at XDA want to be helpful to "noobs," but we also want to express the importance of reading and critical thinking before acting.

This argument came up a month or two ago. There's an easy way to make the ROMs check the phone model prior to flashing. This would be a great way to prevent hard-bricks, as the installation will abort on the wrong device. The issue that arises is two-fold:

1) There are many Devs and not all will implement this device check.

2) People will start getting lazy with their flashing, as it seems "idiot proof."

We are actually seeing this with the newest CM10.1 releases. Despite it being clearly spelled out in installation threads (if they read the last 3-4 pages of the thread), a lot of people are trying to flash them without updating their bootloader. They then get the infamous system 7 error. I was answering threads one after the next with people asking the exact same question about the system 7 error. A simple 5-minute perusal of the forums (or even just the CM thread) would've yielded the results, but people don't want to put in the "hard work."

In the case of hard-bricks and your guide, I don't fully agree with CNexus (it happens from time-to-time, but he's a quality guy and dev). If it works a good percentage of the time, I think it's a valuable tool that can help a lot of people. That being said, one of the "good" things about a hard-brick is that people generally learn their lesson after one. I've seen people here on XDA that hard-bricked their device (due to carelessness), had to get it JTAG-ed, then came back to become advocates for reading the posts/directions thoroughly. It's amazing how $60 and losing your phone for a week will make people a lot more sober about flashing a Rom.

I don't doubt for a minute that having an "easy" fix for hard-bricks will reduce the impact of this lesson.

That being said, I also believe that having this guide is a good thing. My recommendation would be to rewrite the beginning of the guide to include a strong disclaimer about the dangers of flashing a Rom not meant for your device. I understand that you're trying to take the approach of "hey, we are all noobs at times, it's not that big of a deal," but I think it'll reinforce the lazy mentality of a good number of flashers.

Just my two cents. I'm glad you were able to fix your phone and to find a way to boot into download mode from the SD card so you can rewrite the bootloader partition from Odin.

I figured out how to change the icons to what ever you want with the stock launcher.

And how to get more icons to choose from..

1.download "Icon finder plus.." from the PLAYSTORE it's for downloading icons their is a ton to choose from..

2.download all the icons you want. With icon finder,.

3.use a file browser IE root explorer, to copy the folder that the icons you downloaded are in its labeled" icon finder plus" copy that folder to your camera folder DCIM.

4. When you touch and hold a icon then let go the edit icon brush will appear on the icon touch it .That brings you to the icon selector folder.. here you can select one of the system standard icons. Or

" create photo icon" and select your downloaded icon folder and choose your desired icon crop then ok.

[LG Optimus G Pro] tele_jas:
Hmm,

I tried this (following the steps listed in post #1).... After I get to the point where I can "create a photo icon" (step #4), I choose the icon I want from my gallery and nothing happens when I touch it, so I touch it again and it goes back to the previous screen (stock icons) and nothing has changed??

I've tried changing the following icons FB, Chrome, YouTube, music player, and message icons (stock and ChompSMS).

Am I doing something wrong or has anybody else ran into this?

I'm rooted if that makes a difference?
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
After you touch and hold the icon,then touch the brush, select create photo icon, then select from gallery, then select the folder with your icons in it. When you select the new icon it should go to a crop screen with your new icon on it, you should be able to crop your new icon then hit ok and it should apply...

When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
[LG Optimus G Pro] tele_jas:
Doesn't go to a crop screen for me, just loops back around to the choose screen.. I'll restart and give it another try later.

Thanks for the reply!
[LG Optimus G Pro] TURBOGAMECAT:
If you're rooted and really looking to change it, you can add your own manually by copying LGHome3a.apk from your system/app folder to your PC, and replacing the icons yourself. You'll find them in the drawable-hdmi and the drawable-xxhdpi folders by browsing the apk with an archive program. They are named variants of lg_dockmenu_ic_allapps.png.

I was able to replace them without without a problem. I opened pngs in photoshop and pasted over my own icons, saved them, replaced them in the archive, and replaced the original LGHome3a.apk with the modified version.

If you are not rooted then :silly: you probs cannot. But the stock LG launcher is just too nice to change.

I had to uninstall it and reinstall it for it to work, but it works now!

Having just read the thread about Nokia BT car kits causing echo (I've apparently got this problem :( ) I just wanted to know peoples opinion on what BT car kit I should replace my Nokia one with?

Someone mentioned the HCB-300 SE. Is the 'SE' but different from a normal HCB-300 that I can easily get on eBay, or here.

Are there any others I should concider for my PDA2k? Thanks for any help.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] anthonyeeles:
Ok, you've got my attention :) What BT version are you using on your BA.

I've also got a nokia CK7W and i'm struggling :). With BT 3900 it doesn't work at all, and with BT3500 (and only after a re-rom) it's echoey to the caller and the callers sound 'distant' to me - I've tried fiddling with all the volumes, placement of speakers etc - if it's a feedback problem it's internal!

Could you let me know your configuration with this Parrot CK because i'd be really interested. Do all the features work?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] s93ncer:
Right, Device Information first

BT - 1.0.0.3900

ROM Version - 1.40.00 WWE

ROM Date - 10/3/2005

Radio - 1.12.00

ExtROM - 1.31.139

Had a CK-7W first, very echoey and problems with incoming calls not being answered correctly. Got the CK 3300 installed - works OK but not perfectly! I've got a mute kit so it mutes the stereo and puts the audio through the front speakers (it's what we design and make at work) so I knew this bit wasn't faulty when I had the CK-7W installed.

Created hands-free connection and serial connection in minutes. Transferred all my contacts to the kit. All calls work both directions, no echo at all.

The only thing it doesn't do all the time is automatically connect to the kit when I switch the ignition on - sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't!

When using navigation (TT3,TT5,Destinator 3 and Destinator PN) it automatically connected to the kit and GPS starts up. With TT5 it actually mutes the nav when a call comes in :)

I've also tried the M500 and MPx220(with smartphone nav installed) with the kit and all work faultlessly so I'm well impressed.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] salehmbaker:
I do not think it will work, it works on the S4 GE but do not forget that the software goes by Samsung not Google, so I think they tweaked it in a way to improve the phone. For example the photo quality are identical although Google use different algorithms compared to Samsung which is the reason for the mediocre photo quality of the N4.

Yeah GE versions of the devices still contain the OEM framework files and drivers. This is why the OEM are doing the updates and not google.

Wow, your car code is almost what I was thinking about earlier today. About the only difference is when I get a text I would like it to give me 3 audible choices. 1- send a pre recorded text letting them know i am in the car. 2- Give me the option to do nothing and 3- the option to call the person who sent the text and have the phone set to speaker, and pause any music that is on. The problem is I am so new to tasker and really have no idea how to do this. I will study your code to see if I can learn what you did and maybe add the other options to it. I want it to all be voice responses and and prompts.

Do you have any idea what needs to be added to what you have created in order to get what I want?

Anyway great work. Thanks for doing this thread and posting your profiles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eBoody:
Yeah absolutely, I actually have a profile that does something very similar. But for a different scenario...tell me; would you want to do this through a voice command? or through a pop-up dialogue?

I think voice commands would be better. Since I would be driving. The more hands free the better I think. But if popups were the only way, then that might work also.
