[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Can't get Odin to flash the bootloader repair you provided. Phone keeps giving Unsupport dev_type. Also no sound or imei or service though I'm trying with Slimbean not CM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
how are you trying to flash it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robbiejobs:
Yes, I can't go to download mode. Just a blank screen & QHSUSB_DLOAD

I tried using debrick image from R530U, R530M ( the one you provided at androidforums ). Still no luck :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
no i imagine not, you are supposed to use one for your device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Odin 3.07 on Windows 7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
I put the phone in Odin mode and add the bootloader you provided in the bootloader slot and it fails every time. I uninstalled drivers, reinstalled, tried different ports. Is there a way to do it by ADB perhaps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robbiejobs:
whoa.. I just read that part in bold, I'll be here patiently waiting :victory:

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
i would instead suggest finding a r530c user to flash this so that it gets the file :P http://shabbypenguin.com/getdownload.php?file=Tools/Unbrick-Creator.zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
So how would I go about flashing the bootloader you posted since it isnt letting me? And could you provide a stock rom backup for the S960L? Rooted or not, doesnt mstter
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
he is asking about a different phone. not sure why it isnt letting you flash it ive made the same kind of tar for a few other devices and its worked fine then.

i dont have the s960l so i can't provide anything, billyan dumped the files i asked him to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
could you ask if he successfully flashed it and how?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
i doubt he did, the images are only used when you are trying to unbrick.

just to be clear the unbrick image works you can boot normally now just trying to restore the phone so you can get your sdcard back right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
exactly. that 16gb had my life on it (which i saved to my desktop) so it would be nice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
ok here is the image broken down into seperate tars, please try flashing them individually, its not ideal but we can at least then narrow down the "problem"

https://mega.co.nz/#!gBISxBDS!IULj50hSl2KMNR-7w6kYvSMRZeY1liptj2UbVczix2M

https://mega.co.nz/#!wJpyCaQI!QbyrGSvw5LP6ObNdJANRk2xUZVAewCbSktK_U11XxQU

im thinking the issue was the aboot as that is much larger than it should be. when you flash those other partitions youll have to do it one at a time and see how it goes, i suggest starting with sbl1, then 2 and 3 then rpm and finally if your device wont boot without sdcard then try this aboot tar.

https://mega.co.nz/#!UAIzkZ6R!VOZpq3xuUllU0LXB1q33M2Qb1pMC9AYVanA5B5ftDhA

this will hopefully narrow it down and we can try to get images dumped from someone else but this doesnt seem to be a very popular phone :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
ok. should i be flashing these via the "bootloader" tab?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
no pda always
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
gotcha. will report back asap
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
couldnt even flash sbl1. same message with aboot. Unsupport dev_type. fml
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
any of teh others? :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
no. but i have found something!

This site hosts the stock files and the PIT file. but a) i dont read arabic and b) it asks you to PAY to download them :( SMFH
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
bleh, thats a shame i even tried googling the file name to see but they claim to be the only one who has it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
well balls. i dont really wanna pay $30 to use a site i will only use once. any way to get the PIT file and stock rom/modem off the other guy? maybe a full update.tar.md5 or something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
we pulled the files you should need, something went wrong :/

edit: perhaps some other sch-S960L owners would be willing to chip in since its in there interests as well, it would be an odin tar to restore to stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
I believe I may have found the problem. There is no partition data in the bootloader tar file you gave me first. I used mobile odin to try from there and keep getting "partition could not be found in file" know anything about that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
FIXED IT!!!!!!!

Ok, for anyone who comes across this, its super easy (but a pain in the...)

First - make the bootable SdCard, must be the same size as your phone and Class 10! Very important!

-in Linux/Ubuntu format the Sd to FAT32

-in terminal emulator type (without quotes) "dd if=[drag the Unbrick file here] of=/dev/mmcblk0" (or find out where your sd card is located)

Second - put the sdcard in your phone and boot to download mode [Vol- Home Power]

Third - use Odin 3.07 and flash TWRP/CWM for d2spr (I used TWRP Touch V2.3.3.0)

Fourth - Boot into recovery and Factory Reset (if you can) and reboot. If it boots to a rom, take out the SdCard and continue. If not, follow the bottom of this post

Fifth - reformat the SdCard to FAT32, deleting all the extra partitions (easiest with Aparted if you have another phone handy)

Sixth - put the Unbrick on the SdCard (just place it, not the "dd" command)

Seventh - open Terminal Emulator and type "su" (without quotes) and accept Superuser access

Eighth - type "cd /mnt/extSdCard" (without quotes, with the capitols)

Ninth - type "dd if=Unbrick of=/dev/block/mmcblk0" (without quotes, with the capitol U unless you renamed it. Easiest if you dont)

Tenth - take out the SdCard/reboot/thank me/donate if you like for the tut also to shabbypenguin for the file

IF YOU DID NOT REBOOT TO A ROM, REBOOT TO RECOVERY WITH THE SD:

-stay in recovery and remove the SdCard, then wipe it with Aparted or Linux/Ubuntu

-download a d2spr CM 10 or prerooted rom that has terminal emulator and put it on the sd card

-put the sdcard back in then wipe the system/data/cache/dalvik and flash the rom

-make the bootable sdcard again, boot, then move on to step Six

If you need video instruction ask and I'll brock again for the demonstration/your entertainment ^_^
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shabbypenguin:
haha derp, not sure why i didnt think of that. so i guess the dumps for teh individual files got messed up somehow. mind dumping them now that you are restored and i can just make a bootloader tar properly this time? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Sure...erm... how?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Also any idea why I gots no sound? CM10.2

Edit:

Got sound and network back on CM 10.0.0, but everything is crashing. Gonna try 10.1.3 and report back

Edit 2:

10.1.3 works just fine, no crashing. gonna try 10.2 again, since its going so well so far, and if it works will update again

Edit 3: No problems! im fully back up and running! THANK YOU SO MUCH SHABBYPENGUIN! tell bilg i said gratzi!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Had the same issue originally. To get it back, install the Sprint stock rom or CM10.0. And make sure your radio is the AMD6 for Straight Talk SIII. Any other radio won't work. Also you can't unlock the bootloader.

I've narrowed it down to Clean Master and All in One toolbox. Can someone tell me which is better? Clean master has a better UI but all in one toolbox runs less background memory. Can we schedule weekly checks with all in one toolbox like cleanmaster? Does all in one toolbox have advanced cleaning option like clean master? coz i find that very useful!

Just want to know, if a person does not have a data plan on AT&T and is going to buy a Zopo or Oppo or Umi type of chinese phone that has 3G: WCDMA 850/1900MHz will AT&T automatically charge you a data plan or can you use the phone like a dumbphone with 3G(no Data) with Wifi?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] viperguy212:
Hey all,

So let me get it out of the way and state that I DO have group messaging and what not enabled in settings, so here is my scenario/issue:

4 person group chat:

#1: Me - ATT GS4 (goldeneye rom, stock messages ap, have also tried stock rom and CM MMS apk)

#2: iphone 4s

#3: iphone 5

#4: HTC One

#5: Droid Razr M

So everyone will be chatting away and it will be fine on my end until person #5 (droid razr) responds to the group. When they do I will receive their message separate from the group, but the rest of the group receives it normally. Obviously if I reply to that one person they only get that message but if I send in group then everyone receives it. So for everyone BUT me the group chat works flawlessly.

At this point I'm stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated.

*important to note this only happens with this one person, other group chats this does not occur

When i press the volume button and the power button the bootloader appears. Nevertheless, i dont know if needs to be unlocked. If need be, i need a safe way to unlock the bootloader and root my phone. Thanks

Friendly,

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Bill, to root your device you have two choices. To S-OFF the device or to unlock the bootloader. Both are the safest way to root but it depends on what you want.

Read the guide in my signature to find out more information and read the AAHK2 thread in the general section.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h0rseman:
Can you tell me the difference between s-off and bootloader unlock? What would be better?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
What about reading a bit. I have just tipped you off on what are the choices and where to find information. S-OFF means Nand Security OFF whereas Unlock bootloader allows you to flash a custom recovery and custom roms but not flashing radios.

But it all depends on what you are willing to do and how confortable you feel by having to deal with S-OFF. IMO, S-OFF is the best way, but again, take your own decision based on what suits you better. :good:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] nickb23:
Hi Guys,

Just got my S110, which I love. Still trying to learn how different the phone functions are, compared to my C500, one thing I have noticed, and which I feel is a real pain is to do with the suppled headset and its intergration with mobile 2003.

It seems to be fine at answering calls - a quick tap, and that is it, but when it comes to ending a call, i have to hold the button for 3 seconds, and there is also no beep to notify that the call has ended. This is a bit annoying if you end the call with the handset in your pocket. There is nothing to let you know it has ended, apart from looking at the handset.

Does anyone know of a hack to shorten the length the button needs to be pressed to end a call.

Also is there any chance of voice tagging, like a normal phone. I have tried Voice commander, which I think is hit and miss.

Many Thanks

NickB23

I want to root my S4 but I'm unable to format my 8gb SanDisk micro sdhc card. I've tried many methods and have been unsuccessful with Google. My stock windows xp formatting tool has the exFAT format option but when I try to format it, it says "Windows was unable to compete the format".

I've tried using an adapter into the memcard port, usb adapter as well as through my S4 while mounted. I've also tried through command prompt but it says "format not available for exFAT drives"or something similar. When I try third party format apps, exFAT isn't even an option. I can format between FAT32, NTFS and even RAW but not exFAT.

Can someone please offer a solution? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
Windows XP and exFAT

There is a compatibility issue with XP and exFAT. In order to make it work with XP you will have to install an update and/or service pack. A search through google should lead to you what is needed to be installed.

Thank you. I didn't try that because exFAT was an available option even though it wasn't working. I thought it being available meant I had the update. I'll try installing the appropriate update and post the results after.

Hmm... I just grabbed my P5113 tab and turned Wifi on and it immediately chimed software update in notifications and went away.

"Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later"

Now I can only assume this means the servers containing the update are at full capacity and aren't able to handle anymore concurrent connections. Meaning too many people are trying to pull the update?

Can anyone confirm this and is my assumption correct why i can't get it right now?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1mu:
Unfortunately, I now have the update on my GT-P5113.

What a major pile of crap. All of my carefully arranged Touchwiz pages? Cleared.

All of my purchased apps? Gone.

I'm used to that, since Samsung never bothered to update the US WiFi tabs to 4.1.2; the 4.1.1 release loses track of purchased apps when you reboot. For that release, I just had to reinstall them.

For this release? Nope. Purchased apps download, then the play store fails with error "-24". You can't have those back.

Oh, and of course, my root access is gone, so I can't remove the stray folders causing that "-24" error.

This isn't even a HALF baked update. Unless you're ready to factory reset afterwards and reinstall everything from scratch you may want to avoid it.

At this point, that's probably what I'm going to have to do.

Now to find out how I can get superuser access back. What fun.
