it's ok I don't have warranty but I'm afraid i break any hardware things

in download mode it says :

odin mode

product name : gt-i9300

custom binary download : no

current binary :samsung official

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Okay, the bootloader is fine and you don't have evidence yet of SDS.

Next go to sammobile and download the latest stock rom for your country.

While that is downloading read the guide on how to use odin here:

Follow the instructions exactly and do not tick repartition.

If that works then job done. However, if it fails to flash then there is one last thing to try:

Again follow the instructions exactly, including the repartition part.

Good luck.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
judged by past posts you flashed something wrong and damaged PIT .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammarooooo:
no I only ticked repartition with a good pit file
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Whatever happened, you need a service centre repair now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammarooooo:
ok thank you all

but one last question from this situation can I do anything to unroot ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Root is in the ROM. If it can't boot, root is not removable. Only download mode can detect previous flashes. This cannot be reset without triangle away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammarooooo:
ok please don't judge but I'm really desperate but can I somehow screw up download mode so they wouldn't know it's custom firmware and without voiding my warranty
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
That is fraud and as such has no place on XDA .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
The fragile memory controller on this phone is the reason I've kept stock recovery and kernel, hence zero flash counter -as you never know when it's going to just corrupt a partition or destroy the whole thing.

You wrote that your flash count was zero, if it still is then you should be able to access your warranty. The custom status indicates the phone was rooted but this may not be a problem in some countries.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Fraud would be a company claiming you rooting your device made it die when they know they have sold defective products. Only way for Samfraud to fix this is to offer free swaps for all defect devices.

Will they do it, no, cause they can get away with blaming the consumer.

What the user is suggesting is actually a way around samsung's fraud. You sell people crap and they might throw it back at you:p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammarooooo:
ok you could have just ignored my request

I would have never asked for this but I live in syria and since our currency dropped to 1/4 it's value it will cost me 4 times to buy peace of hardware . i had to send it all the way to saudi and pay for moving it so then they say it's rooted we can't do anything only to discover it's their fault and rooting had nothing to do with it.

so all what I'm trying to do is to make a company pay for their mistakes (which will cost them nothing) instead of me paying 3 months salary for something that it wasn't my fault.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammarooooo:
they didn't accept it they said that rooting void the warranty but the problem for me is I can't sent to service center because it's thousand of miles away so I have to make sure they will accept it this time

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rarn21:
I am relatively new to all of this so I'm not fully sure what is possible on stock ME7 while rooted but with a locked bootloader.

I am sure though that I am not a fan of android's minuscule default number of volume steps (just 15), as a one step difference basically goes from too quiet to too loud. This is unacceptable for a quality media player in 2013 honestly.

I have a few options available to me (namely applying pregain to all of my tracks so it gets to the perfect level, or trying one of the paid apps), but the ideal fix would be to just increase the number of system volume steps if possible.

I've seen reference to this hack to edit framework.jar here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42631991&postcount=3

It apparently works on many devices, but it appears it will not work on stock roms? Is this true? If so are there any other options that would work to increase the precision of the volume steps?
[Sony Xperia ZL] wichobig:
I just bought a couple of days ago mi new Xperia ZL, i think the phone is great, but today when i tried to get mi phone rooted, i realized the bootloader is locked.

Im kind of new at this, but i really dont know why mi phone is on that status, so does that mean that i never be able to fully root mi phone?

I tried to do it with a dooloard applicatión, but it seems that the android compilation version is not compatible with the doomlord software.

Could someone help me please! i want to erase all the garbage from my service provider.

I have a Xperia Zl C6502, 10.1.1.A.1.253

By the way, Im From Guatemala, sorry for the crappy english.

A locked bootloader doesn't stop you from rooting. Mine is locked (and is unlockable) and I have root.

In order to root the 253 build, you need to follow Nut's thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2299092

Read everything carefully before doing it, I think the build 253 was the most complicated build to root not because it's hard but it has more steps than any other builds.

Why don't you upgrade to the latest 4.2.2 build 244. It's very stable and good. Plus, it's easy to root.... :good:

Even if your BL is locked, every build can be rooted.
[Sony Xperia ZL] wichobig:
Hello Crash 3338

Is not that i want to do it on that build, is just that is the software that came with mi ph, and unfortunately in my country i dont know why, we dont get OTA upgrades. So could you please show me or post the link where i can get the instructions on how to upgrade to that build, and also how to root it.

Thanks in advance for the assistence,
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
You are not getting the OTA because your carrier is not pushing it. If your phone is branded to xyz carrier than you need to wait for them to push their new bloaded firmware via OTA.

If you flash the Sony generic firmware, you will be getting OTA's as soon as Sony pushes them out.

If you want to flash your phone to the latest Sony generic, you will need:

Flashtool : http://androxyde.github.io/

PC Companion

C6502 FTF: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389305

Installed drivers for your Xperia ZL (can be found inside Drivers folder when flashtool is installed)

This thread has screenshots on how to use flashtool:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343

Don't forget to Turn on "Unknown sources" and "USB Debugging" before flashing the phone.

Once you have flashed this firmware, you will root by

1 - Flashing the FW 423 Kernel ONLY

2 - Reboot and root with DoomLord's latest exploit (v.18)

3 - Flash back the FW 244 Kernel ONLY

4- Reboot and you are done!

Happy flashing!! :highfive:
[Sony Xperia ZL] wichobig:
You are the men Crash338, i did everything like you said, and now i have my phone fully rooted. Im very thankful with you and with all the people that belongs to this forum.

Just one more thing, i hope you dont mind, which are the pros an cons of having the bootloader locked.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
[Sony Xperia ZL] LenAsh:
Google it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Crash338:
Unlocked bootloader allows you to flash custom kernels so that you can flash cooked roms which may require a custom kernel. If you like the Sony stock rom and just want to root on it then dont bother unlocking it.

Also, rooting doesnt void your warranty, unlocking your bootloader does.

Glad everything worked out for you!

Everyone knows where the Micromax phones come from. The Canvas 4 was a rebranded BLU Life One.Now It seems Micromax found another BLU product to put it's stickers on and sell in India.

I bet it's the BLU Life View which exactly has the same specs as the rumored phone :p
[Micromax Canvas Doodle A111, Doodle 2 A240] Kiuzuki:
If you compare, Canvas 2 and Canvas HD , you will see Canvas HD has a really good hardware improvement compared to Canvas 2.

But then, compare Canvas HD and Canvas 4 , you will see only upgrade in both Camera, which 12mp and 5mp in front, and a 16gb internal memory. When I heard about Canvas 4, I was excited but then, I expected a new processor, 2gb ram. I am disappointed with the Canvas 4 , Micromax is also charging around 17k to 19k for Canvas 4. I don't find worth buying it.

And same goes to Canvas Doodle 2, almost Same Hardware like Canvas 4. Almost same hardware and they are charging it for 22k :(

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sultan arshad:
Hmm sounds interesting ..;)

Wanna know how to change ownership. :D just for increasing knowledge :cool:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SonicX2014:
There are two ways to do this. 1. If you have a recovery boot loader installed in your phone, you can simply log into your recovery and select advanced and then fix permissions. Once done reboot the phone. All partitions will have their flags set back to read write execute. The other way would be what you did, redo all the partitions again. The last one only works in Linux. I'm not a Windows user so I couldn't help there.

If your a Linux user and not sure how to take ownership of a hard drive or removable drives, let me know and I'll explain it in the next post.

Hi guys,

I hope this thread is in the right place but I have a question.

My usb charge port got bent a little bit and I had trouble charging my phone so I ordered from eBay the part I needed which is this thingy

http://i.ebayimg.com/t/New-USB-Charger-Port-Flex-Cable-Replacement-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-i9220-/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/z/4msAAOxyMxpRpE~d/$(KGrHqMOKpYFGWfj3M)VBRpE+d(Spw~~60_12.JPG

and then when I got it I installed it according to an excellent guide I found on youtube.

When I installed it,the USB charge port came back to life but the microphone (which I late found out was attached to the same flex part) was broken so I had to use my speaker for two weeks until the seller shipped the part again.

Today I installed the part again and now the USB charge port works fine,the microphone works fine,but to my supprise - the speaker doesn't!

My question is :

1.is the speaker also connected to this part and due to that I have this problem or is it possible that something else went wrong ?

Please only answer if you're sure of what you say.

2.Where can I get this part (OEM) from a place that will surely send a working part ? (if it's not possible to write it down here, please PM me)

Thank to all you helpers out there!!!

Open up the phone again. and check the screws that hold down the usb port

the speaker is attached to the plastic cover on top of the usb port. it is not making contact with the right points.

try it whilst the phone is on, play a audio or video file and hold down that part with your fingers. u will see that it will work.

meaning that the screws are either loose or too tight and not properly aligned.

sorry I am starting a new thread for this but I cant figure this out using the info that's already been posted

so I flashed cm10.1 using goo manager which bundles the rom and the gapps together and I just assumed the gapps would be the correct ones

apparently they were wrong

so now I m just not sure which ones are correct and I am not real clear on how to go about fixing this

any help would be greatly appreciated

sorry I forgot a few details

I have Verizon galaxy s3 vrbmf1

I am stuck in setup wizard loop

I honestly don't even know how to power off to get into recovery

Update: I pulled battery so I could get into recovery and did a wipe but now I dont understand how to get the correct gapps file to my phone so I can flash from twrp

UPDATE:

I wiped everything again and reflashed just the rom without gapps and that worked fine. So now I'm going to attempt to flash the proper gapps which I believe are 20130812 still not 100% sure.

I am also not sure how to go about fixing my super user permissions but hopefully someone will guide me or I'll figure it out

Flash stock through Odin, and download the right GAPPS then go back into TWRP, wipe and flash CM and GAPPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Why are you recommending odin? There is no need for that whatsoever.

All he has to do is find the correct gapps package go into recovery wipe cache and dalvik and flash the correct gapps. There's no need to do any other thing.

Your placing him at risk of having something go really wrong. Gapps are just that Google Apps. How many apps have you downloaded that later you didn't want? Do you go to odin to return to stock or just uninstalled the app you no longer wanted?

Figured it out

Its okay, I figured it out. I hear that a lot though.... " if in doubt, Odin out" and I was totally getting ready to do that,but I kept hearing the voices of all the people who made YouTube vids of this process saying don't forget to flash Gapps or else you won't have the Play Store! And it finally dawned on me that I COULD flash the rom without them so that I could DL the correct ones and flash after wiping cache and dalvik.:laugh:

But yeah man, if I had taken the Odin route I prolly would've ended up in a real tight spot!

Anyway I worked it out and I'm all set up with my new rom and so far I love it!

That's not really backing up EFS. All you're doing is copying files from your efs folder. To be safe you need to backup everything.

Using the dd command in terminal emulator is a better way.
