[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArmoMafia:
Yeah it is just you, I can't stand when people say "i like the stock look" wth is the point of rooting a phone if things stay stock. It's like "hey check this out just rooted my phone and flashed a custom Rom!!" "dude it looks just like mine and I'm not rooted. " "yeah... But... Under the hood.. There are major changes.. Oh you want to see them... Umm Ok uhhh" what I'm getting at its all about the visuals, each Rom needs individuality... so by the home screen alone you can say "oh wow so your running the little Minions." not "is that stock?" Back on point i think the icons look great. Best I've seen in a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Was all that really needed? lol sigh...But yes, I'll agree. Great rom indeed!

edit: And I only said I didn't like them because she literally said to be "brutal if you have to".

WOW!!!:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ArmoMafia:
I'm not knocking on you, I'm just tired of seeing people say " can you make it look stock? " it takes time to theme so when people say that it's basically like saying thanks for all that effort and your personal touch.. But I don't like it. It's like it's yours and your girls anniversary right, and she's at work, so you cook for her, set up the table, light the candles, and all that good stuff. She walks through the door and says" are our lights out? Why does it smell like candles? Omg did you use the good China plates? you bastard! Make everything how it was!! " bad comparison? Anyway you get the point.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DermagraFX:
Hi, Sorry to post here, but there isn't a section for the 8.9 tabs. That I found.

Ive been trolling all night and morning here and other sites trying to find a solution to my problem, and apparently from what I've seen, no one seems to get an answer to this question or the same for the 10.1 tab

I have The Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH i957D (Telus) LTE 4G.

Using both Odin 3.7 and 1.83 I have tried to root using SGH-rooted-kernel-V2 from a couple of sources and all I get on reboot is the 2 splash screens, then it just sits on a black screen with the backlight on.

After a few attempts with either version of Odin, I tried CWM recovery, this flashed successfully also, and I can get into CWM recovery and Download mode, but still cannot get past the splash screens.

I have tried the stock ROMs a couple of times and different custom images (DaGrootkernel, DaGOCkernel), but still can't get past the splash screens. My battery drained over night, and I have it charging now in download mode, as otherwise it just loops continuously buzzing and lighting up, but still the same issue, I can't even turn it off as it just reboots as soon as I try.

From what I've seen on here, there are a few of us that need a solution to basically the same issue.

Please... Could one of the gurus on here give some advice as to what us noobs need to do with our semi bricked tabs?

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll have a look there. Just flashed successfully with Odin 3.7 and openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-i957.tar. open recovery work great, but still no boot past the splash screens. :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmoi:
the file you used is only for changing your recovery leaving your android os wonky. find a original stock rom for your tablet and flash that with odin...that will bring all back to stock. then you can reflash the custom recovery and then install custom roms if you want

simple way of understanding android is to think of it as a pc

recovery = bios

stock or custom rom = windows..linux..etc...

hope this helps
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DermagraFX:
Thanks a lot, that actually cleared things up a bit. Can I read the recovery off my wife's identical tablet and use that? Can that be done with Odin, or what would I need to read that?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DermagraFX:

A HUGE THANKS to alexmoi.

You my friend, are a lifesaver. Thanks a lot. Hope I can return the favor one day.

Hi all! I'm new here so please refrain from flaming me...

I'm no noob to flashing the rom on my phone as I have successfully carried out the procedure multiple times. However, on this occasion things didn't go as planned. I began the procedure to update my S3 via odin to the new firmware that was released yesterday, however when the process got to 'system.img' the status bar just hung in the same place (just past the beginning of the bar) for a good 20 minutes... I panicked and unplugged my phone... BAD MOVE. I now get the error message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and the only thing I can do is put my phone in odin mode, which I did, and tried to install the stock jelly bean rom, the exact same thing happened as before...

What should I do?

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
You tried to flash the stock firmware?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alexischino:
Go to your phone thread and look for the unbrick package for the SGS3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
Is this the thread called 'Welcome to your device, the Galaxy S III'? If not, I'd appreciate it if a link can be provided to this thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I don't believe we have that for our model.

If you can still get download mode there's hope, maybe not a lot in this case, but there is some.

Try to flash cwm or twrp via odin. If successful boot recovery and try to flash a stock rom. Hopefully it only screwed up the system partition. ...

Never unplug till odin says either PASS, FAIL, or RESET. You may end up really lucky this time. If its taking a long time, just leave the room.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alexischino:
Yep, never unplug a phone when ur doing a update via odin or u will get a brick phone, i hope u can get CWM or twrp installed.......
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
Thanks for your help so far guys... I'm going to try that now... I'll keep you posted...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
Bad news... FAIL appears when I try...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Does it say fail when you try a full firmware flash?

Do you get any response at all when trying to boot recovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
When I try a whole firmware flash it just hangs right after it starts, and when I tried to boot recovery (was that what was previously suggested?) it says fail...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I previously suggested trying to flash recovery only using odin. Before you just said you can only boot to download mode, so I was asking what does it do when you try to boot into recovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
Oh right, my bad. When I try to boot into recovery the error screen saying to recover with Kies pops up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
Good news! I followed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1905655 and I am now able to get into recovery mode. I guess my only option now is to wipe my data, install stock JB and everything should be ok?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
Guys, even better news... That thread was the solution! My phone is now back to normal! I did lose a lot of pictures, but oh well, I'm glad I have my phone back to normal. Thanks for all your help! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Wow! Ok, I am glad you got it working again, but you took a huge risk flashing that. Luckily its just the kernel aparently, but you should never flash anything from the international forum. More hard bricks have occured from flashing international stuff than anything else.

Just pointing this out so you or others reading this don't take it as meaning they can flash international roms and mods.

Glad it did work out for you though!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
Thank you for the info! I keep that in mind so I don't run into any other problems. Now, I'm deciding whether I should try to install that firmware that caused the problem again... Even though I know what to do in the event that odin hangs, the results may not be the same... What do you think?

On a side note: It seems I only text messages and app settings, luckily I backed up my phone with Kies a few days ago so it's all good :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Before you do, check under the battery so you are certain of the phone model. There are 3 variants if the T999, and they cannot flash each others firmware.

Also, I don't believe you mentioned which firmware you tried, or I missed it, but which was it?

And i said it before, but do not unplug during flash. It may seem to take forever if it hangs, but it will eventually Fail out if it does.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
Okay, it's definitely the GT-I9300, and the firmware I tried to flash was this one from SamMobile:

GT-I9300	United Kingdom	2013 July	4.1.2	I9300XXEMG4	I9300OXAEMG4

And okay, it's just that it it hung for so long I thought "well, that's not right", panicked, then yeah, messed up my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ahhhh, well, I know now why it didn't brick your phone when you flsshed thst kernel! You do hsve the correct phone for that. So you will need to reverse what I told you and do not flsdh anything from this forum! Sorry for the confusion, I assumed you had a T999.

It sounds like you have the right firmware, but I know very little about the international models. They are very different than ours. You should definitely go to the International forum from here on. Very little info you get here will be relevant and you cannot use any of our roms or otherwise.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExperimentalHDX:
I don't even know where the international forum is lol, I've been searching, but, well I don't know where to look exacly... And don't worry about the reversing, it all failed when I tried so I guess there's nothing to reverse.

can't boot recovery

Hi, i was wondering if you could help. i was in the middle of wiping data and system to flash a new ROM (which I've done successfuly at least 30 times on this phone), when it unexpectedly rebooted. Now when I try to reboot into recovery, it gets to the teamwin screen and reboots again without ever making it to recovery. I can get into download mode, but odin doesn't recognize the phone. Any ideas? Thanks!

Make sure samsung drivers are installed on your pc and that you use the original usb cable. I've had trouble myself if I use a different cable and port. Also make sure Kies isn't installed and running in the background. Try that and report back.

1. Question: What is a PSD File?

Did you find a PSD file on your computer and wonder what program should open it? Maybe someone emailed you a PSD file but you're not sure how to use it. Perhaps you tried to open the PSD file but Windows told you that it could not open it.

Before you can open a PSD file (assuming it's even a file format that's intended to be viewed or edited), you'll need to determine what kind of file the .PSD file extension refers to.

Answer: A file with the PSD file extension is an Adobe Photoshop Document file.

Other types of files may also use the PSD file extension. If you know of any additional file formats that use the .PSD extension, please let me know so I can update this information.

2. Question : How To Open a PSD File ?

Answer : The easiest way to open a PSD file is to double-click on it and let your PC decide which default application should open the file. If no program opens the PSD file then you probably don't have an application installed that can view and/or edit PSD files.

The usb connector is broken, it started a little while ago, when the connector loosened, and I occasionally had to straighten the plug up before plugging in the usb cord. The other day the connector joined the usb cord on its way out...

I sent the into Sony the other day, and are looking forward to hear what they say. I´m always careful with my phone, and of that reason I cant se why it has broken.

so did u have to hard reset , or just deleting the reg key worked
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] tekhound:
The damm thing is self reparing. If you delete the contents and then launch a program, it fixes itself. Same thing if you delete the key itself...if you open up a new porgram, it recreates the key and all of the contents.

Need to find out what does it and figure out how to stop. You would think that having this option to turn off recent docs has been in Windows for so long that you could have the right to say no on the PPC.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
The music files on my phone are all in subdirectories of /sdcard/Music . If I wanted to replace the existing songs with new files from my pc, would I use the following commands:

adb shell rm -rf /sdcard/Music

adb shell mkdir /sdcard/Music

adb push c:\music /sdcard/Music

If not, what should I use? (To answer the obvious 'why don't you try it' question, because I'm nervous about rm and want to see if there's something better.)

Is there an adb command that would cause the google music player to rescan for songs? If not, I'd use one of the rescan apps in the playstore or reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
yes, those commands are correct.

to rescan your library, a app would be the easiest way and you don't require a pc to trigger the media scan.
