Hi,

i basically have a GS 3 LTE model,and i'm not sure weather i've soft or hard bricked it because i can boot into recovery and go to download mode but my phone is stuck at black screen without anything...just a blank black screen.

any form of help/advice would be helpful

Thanks

Edit:Thanks for the replies,managed to download the original firmware and flash using odin.

As long as your phone can boot into either recovery or download mode, it isn't hard bricked. You can unbrick your phone by flashing a stock ROM through Odin

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Lana:
How you have made it? i too want...

it is pleasant to me :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] duke911:
it is awesome :D .. how did u do it?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] adolfotregosa:
well i had to dismantle the phone :S I passed a very thin sandpaper (600k) on the covers to remove the original ink !! then with a black mate spray i painted it ,let it dry very well and then applied varnish in spray also:) and voila !! black s100 :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Nutdhanai:
Very nice.. I was planning to do a metallic whitish colour.

Also, I think the button needs to be painted too.. do you have plans for those.. and how are you planning to do it?

Thanks

no, i like the bottons has they are :)

Let the buttons as they are, the contrast is very nice. I wonder how long will the paint least until scratches will appear :lol:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] adolfotregosa:
i think that they will not appear has they didn't appear on my laptop paintjob :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] GreenGremlin:
And what is the name of the paint spray and varnish you've used?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
great job adolfotregosa! how did you remove the lcd from the front casing. i have already dismantled my unit following the pdf posted by someone, which was more intented to fix the speaker problem.

GreenGremlin. any model toy paint spray usually works. it is important to sand off the surface with a very fine sand paper like what adolfotregosa used to remove any clear coat lacquer, and then sand it off again with wet, fine sand paper.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Mvmajorem:
Love the color and I live the job done. Hmmm... Can anyone PM me the link on removing the case, I will try this out and I plan to make a design, ofcourse a yellow looking Imate won't look that good...

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
btw, the pdf was originally made by someone to try to fix the speaker problem. i didn't dare to remove the LCD since i didn't want to break anything, most especially the LCD.

if someone would be kind enough to post instructions on how to remove the LCD would greatly be appreciated by the group.

Think you're talking about a site called skinit.com They sell vinyl skins that peel off when you want to change the look. The skins cost around $10 USD, but I don't recall seeing anything on their site for a Jam.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mack:
thanks for the info adolfotregosa....i'm going to start soon....but i need 1000 to 2000 grain sand paper......also...i just bought a new camera so i'll take step by step pictures too....wish me luck :D...just worried about taking out the LCD from the front housing....

No.It was on some Asian site.Loads of different designs and skinks.Also there was a place over there in the states doing them-not skinit-it was just some small place who cut all the vinyl to size for every different device and application,they were a bit pricey from them though!!

T-Mobile MDA Compact piano black

after being inspired by this post, i decided i would spray paint my mda compact, initialy i was gonna paint it matt black but decided to go with the piano gloss black and have no regrets it does look better in gloss finish :D ..

P.S. i would advice anyone who wish to spray paint their mda compact to be very carefull when dismantleing the mda compact as it's very tricky to take the front case and lcd off :!:

Awesome. That improves the look of the Jam no end. It looks more "professional" than the original colour.

Until your paint job I preferred the look of the Orange M500 variant.

I tried paintng mine, but presume I used wrong type of paint as it was total crap and very soft. Ended up scrapping of with blunt knife. Now it looks a sad sight.

Can you please detail the correct paint you guys have used to spray, and if protective coating used, what kind.

Would appreciate help as what used to be a godd phone is now an eyesore :cry:

So i've tried a BLK3 and an MB1 stock firmware file with odin and both times It goes to the boot animation with the giant "4g LTE" and the circles and just keeps loading forever.

I've got odin 3.07, auto reboot and f. reset time checked, put the select the firmware with the pda button. I get

<ID:0/005> system.img.ext4

<ID:0/005> cache.img.ext4

<ID:0/005> RQT_CLOSE !!

<ID:0/005> RES OK !!

<ID:0/005> Remain Port .... 0

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

I get that and PASS but it won't load into the OS. I am coming from an AOSP rom, is there anything that would complicate that do I need to flash a kernel separate?

*EDIT* Ok I guess all that was needed to do was to factory reset afterward, nevermind!

if i run "valkyrie crusade", it shows the game's background for a short time, then closes

why don't some of the games work? i'm on the unofficial cm10.1 rom, but the same error was on aosp 4.1.2 too

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Osku958:
i think the problem is somehow related to the internal storage

i installed cm9.1 to see if it'd fix this, and now:

the "duke nukem 3d" app doesn't even install ("couldn't install on usb storage or sd card")

the "carmageddon promo" says: "download failed because the external storage is full"

"valkyrie crusade" seems to be working though

i also tried the camera app, and it says "your sd card is full" when i select "internal storage"

it's weird because my storage is far from full (internal has over 3gb left, external has over 5gb)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qu4k3r0:
Hello, I've been experiencing a problem since I had my old I9003. It is exactly the same: When I lock my phone, it sometimes loses the connection to internet until I unlock it. Then, suddenly it connects and recieves all the info that was waiting to arrive.

Additionaly, I see that the phone is almost always using Edge connection, and that is very strange because I live in a big city and everybody with the same model of phone recieves H connection. When I do recieve that quality, internet works perfectly. Strangely, the phone never uses 3g connection, when the icon appears at the top, it suddenly changes to H. :eek:

As I said before, the same problem happened to me with my samsung galaxy SCL, exactly the same. I sent it to the oficial service of samsung and recieved a new samsung galaxy s plus. However, I think that they just changed the outside of the mobile phone, because the connectivity problem remained the same.

The info of my phone is the next:

Android: 4.1.2

I9001XXKPG

3.0.74-cyanogenmod-g8b4fc54

tiziano@tiziano-ubuntu #195

I flashed my phone to 4.1.2, but this problem already existed before flashing.

I don't know what organge backup is, but you should be using NANDROID.

Boot to recovery in either TWRP or CWM, whichever custom recovery you have installed, and from there you can back up everything. You should always make a NANDROID backup before flashing a new ROM...and whenever you want, you can restore everything from there.

Yes it is a nandroid back up. I just wasn't sure b4 you back it up in twsp recovery and then wipe everything I didn't know where the back up goes

I think this has got to do with the game developers not really optimizing their games for the Immersion 16 GPU that the P6 uses. So I suggest that you send the info to the game developers and maybe that can optimize their games for our device.

Is gaming a problem only with p6 or are all Huawei devices quite weak in gaming ?

No, Ascend P1 is fine because Power Sgx540 gpu use.. problem with using vivante gpu's Huawei devices. Unfortunately vivante terrible performance.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] daryltanael:
Actually, I think its because the game developers doesnt optimize their games with the vivante gpu, but the GPU on paper itself is powerful enough, its just SOME games are not optimized with it.

i gained some fps in overall games, but im still very desapointed with P6 in games. Hope upcoming oficial kit kat give us a revolution in gamming optimization, because this way the "powerfull p6 gpu" is useless... ill wait for oficial kit kat, if they dont optimize this terminal ill sell it for shure.

how correctly use GLTOOLS? do i need a partition in sdcard?

can someone Dev support us ??
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] WiiCore:
the main problem is that the hardware from the p6 is not firectly accessed by the software, android is only running in some kind of virtual machine and not running native thats the reason why games are not performing good on p6
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RicardoA:
I have now official kitkat B506 rom.

I'm very disappointed since Huawei barely improved gaming performance. It's a bit better but far away from a decent performance expected by the specifications of this phone. I'm playing dead trigger in average of 35 frames per second, shame... it should play at 60 fps like cheaper devices do! I'm losing hope, this won't get better :(

Even GlTools can't help.

Cocagi, nice idea u had, ascend mate performs well on games, maybe if developers gave an effort on this issue, is there's hope? But i think developers don't spend time playing games s(
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] amin-DESIRE-c:
Use from many scripts about Game performance .... maybe They can help you .... Of course P6 isn't good for Games but Omni ROM have better 3D benchmark !

Hyper Cola v1.6 And TweakDrypT are the best Tweaks !

and in the last you can use ART for this rom ( B506 ) !

have fun !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Well the big question then is why does Mate that has the same chip as P6 perform better in games ? I suspect that because P6 is thin and because of heat concern the performance is being blocked down to prevent heating.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RicardoA:
I already thought that... but i dont believe that is the "why", because i play same game on my other lower specs device and it dosent heats so much as the P6 and has far better performance.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

Yes, i am using ART with this stock B506.

i am using this script: "Control your Ascend P6 through Init.d" -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2580436

since i almost only play deadtrigger1 i can tell u that the "game" mode of that scrit gives me about more 10 fps's. (to monitor FPS's i use GLTOOLS)

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RicardoA:
I vote yes on this. At least it should deserve the try. But a developer is needed. I've tried all the scripts available and I can't get more than 10fps increasement in dead trigger, that's too low! And the P6 gets high heat using those gaming scripts, and overall times it crashes or freezes and I have to force reboot. So game scripts are useless. There's something about optimization that is missing...

Hi Ricardo,

Try Dead Trigger with the new OMNI (B506), I have with GLTOOLS 56 FPS (MAX).

Just active in GLTOOLS "Use fake GPU info" and Change "Use a template" to TEGRA 3 (HOX).

In game, run it with LOW graphics.

Try it mate ;)
