Sorry, I was hoping to be able to edit my post before you got back on and I continued looking like an idiot.

i've found the video, I hadn't installed flash so it refused to show up. The only part I'm unclear on now what what program your using to move the file to the sd card. Or is it straight through the terminal?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KAsp3rd:
I used dd (dedupe) which is included with all distributions of linux
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shponglized:
Okay, so the second command in the OP is what is moving the file to the SD card?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KAsp3rd:
Correct
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shponglized:
is "path_to_debrick" just an example?

So if I put it in the home folder my path would be "/home/anthony/T999L_debrick.img"?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KAsp3rd:
Again you are correct
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shponglized:
Alright! I've got it booted and waiting to Odin the bootloader and such to it, and i've used Odin before. But please can you clearly tell me exactly what I need from the Odin thread? this'll be my last stupid question.

Should I get the T999 root 66 file and that's it? I've already got the drivers and odin downloaded and odin extracted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KAsp3rd:
You just need to flash the stock Odin for your device
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
it always pays to read beyond the first post. Glad you eventually did so on your own though!

So many people do that all the time!!!

dedupe???

I thought dd was "data dump"?

Either stock as KAsp3rd said, or root66 should be fine to use as well. Only difference between the two is root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Balthasar85:
I tried to figure out how to create a debrick image but I did not succeed. you can you tell me briefly how to do it? I would like to give it a try without disturbing anyone. from where i can get the bootloader for samsung relay?

thank you very much
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
This would probably be better asked in your devices forum. Depends on your partition layout where you pull it from.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KAsp3rd:
The experience I've had with an 8gb card is that it will not boot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
uh oh!!:eek:

i guess you can finally add me to the list of unfortuates who have bricked their S3! :(:(:thumbdown:

it was inevitable i suppose...

looks like im about to put this to use for myself for once!

wish me luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:

will try it again.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

nope, still no good. ill try one more time, but my phone remains totally unresponsive. every thing seems to have written to the sd correctly, but it just wont boot.

not quite sure what im going to do at this point. will let you know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Final results? Not good. Still bricked. This is for some reason just not working for my device. And yes, I am very confident I am doing it correctly. Even tried with two different sdcards, different block sizes, etc. Nothing gets a response, so it appears it is permanently bricked. Not sure yet what I will do, but oh well. So goes life!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
JTAG maybe?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
possibly, but the screen has been horribly cracked for some time now. so not sure a repair would be worth the actual cost in either sense at this point.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] javichampi:
Oh. Bad news. But how do you brick the phone? When you connect it to PC does it enter in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode?

Its explained here. didnt want to type it all again! But yes, it is in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey all,

Its a shot in the dark, but there is something I would like to try out. If anyone is currently running the LJC or MD5 firmware, would you please flash the zip to create a debrick image? I am just curious if the reason it is not working for me is due to the firmware I have not being compatible. This is the link to the file KAsp3rd made to create the img from.

https://copy.com/1ggUuyIqHUrF

Id like to try them created from both the MD5 and LJC. If you are not sure which you currently have, open a terminal emulator app and enter

getprop ro.bootloader

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] carhustler:
works

Thanks guys I purchased a cheap 32gb sdcard and a sweet titaibiun grey front glass cause mine was cracked off of amazon for under thirty bucks and my phone is back up and running now just have to break out the hair dryer and hope I don't crack the digitizer. I didn't realize how long this phone has been bricked for the most current file is from December 12 or 2012. Thanks again
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
just tried with the LJC firmware img, still no good. anyone care to help by making an img from a different build?

[MENTION=3505796]KAsp3rd[/MENTION]

do you think this might be dependant on sbl2 and/or sbl3 to work? its the only reason i can think of that this will not work for me....

sbl–secondary bootloader. makes sense in a way, though i would think it would be more likely to be on sbl1 since it stays untouched during firmware flashes or updates....

flashing sbl3 is what caused the brick btw.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Now I am on MJ4 and dankang 4.3

I downloaded the attachment but how to go further to create an image

Pl advice me so I can get an image of it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
you just flash the zip in recovery, and it should create the fike on your internal sdcard.

but mj4 would be your baseband, not the bootloader version.

open a terminal emulator and enter

getprop ro.bootloader

itll tell you what firmware your rom is running on top of. if its LJC, dont worry about it as i have already tried that one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoustonsBirdman:
Created the debrick.zip but can't find it to share :banghead:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
I checked and it is showing T999UVDLJC

Have you got checked with this version
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
should be on the root of your sd. might be different due to the /0 folder though, so look under /data/media, /data/media/0, /storage/sdcard0, /storage/sdcard0/0. probably in one of those. ill double check the script in a few min though. thanks man!

Just got my Toyota Prius Plugin Hybrid with Touch Pro system. No problem to connect my Note 2 (N7100) to the touch pro system. But the weird thing: I can synchonise my contacts, all the names are correct, but the telephone numbers are incorrect.Just a mess. To make sure that there is no problem with mij touch pro system I tried the same with my samsung omnia pro with windows mobile 6.5. I synchronise via exchange so all contact information should be identical. Now all the names and numbers are correct in my touch pro system. So it seems that there 's something wrong with the bluetooth connection. Some help/suggestions would be great.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.A.N.:
After installing and uninstalling safestrap, i wanted to do a factory reset and try all over but now it boots into fastboot mode and fails. RSD lite also fails at stage 6. I then have to power it down and it boots up normally. How do I fix my phone to stock with no root?
[Moto X Q&A] dmbfan13:
So I'm trying to decide. Should I make the switch from my Verizon HTC One to the Moto X? I really like the look and sound output on the HTC One. But I like the "close to stock" the Moto X has. Is the sound output on the Moto X decent? I use my phone for music in the car a lot.

I'm having some weird data/reception issues on the HTC One, and battery life isn't the greatest. Plus I really like the idea of active notifications!!

Do you think root will come quicker on the Moto X than on the HTC One? Remember, I'm on Verizon.

Thanks for any input!
[Moto X Q&A] gunnyman:
I switched from the one. Very happy. Sound isn't quite as good but it's not something I can't deal with
[Moto X Q&A] SubliminalME:
I agree. Other than the entire facing speakers there isn't a signal thing that I thought the one did better.
[Moto X Q&A] dmbfan13:
Did you notice a big difference in screen quality?

I'm thinking either the moto x or the g2.
[Moto X Q&A] SubliminalME:
I honestly noticed no difference in quality, but there was a few days between the two. I like the screen. My favorite part about it is I can use the phone as a clock at night...there's no glowing black screen, just the time and the rest is 100% dark. I guess they had to do that for the active notifications, but it's a pretty nice lil' side effect. :)

I wouldn't touch a g2 with a stick. I hate overlays (sense, touchwiz, etc) and that one looks particularly terrible.
[Moto X Q&A] dmbfan13:
OK cool, thanks for the reply!! That's really the only thing making me hesitate on the G2, is the overlay. Does look pretty bad!! But I like the bigger screen and high specs...

Decisions, decisions...
[Moto X Q&A] JFigure:
i dumped my htc one for the motox.

my hands are happy. the htc shape and button placement was terrible.
[Moto X Q&A] SubliminalME:
See, I think the One is a fine phone...many consider it the best of the best...and it's pretty nice. But, I do like the stock experience, the better reception and the active notifications. :)
[Moto X Q&A] rubiksmoose:
Personal choice of course, but I think the Moto X feels much better in hand. Also, I hate the One's custom software. It was just weird and super fugly
[Moto X Q&A] FligMupple:
I went from the HT Cone (my funny name for it) to the Moto X.

I personally find the Moto X screen quite inferior compared to the One. Note however that the X screen is very good, but it's not as good at the One. There is major discoloration if I'm not looking at the phone dead-on. So, viewing angle is very limited.

Since few others are complaining about this, I wonder if there's a problem with my actual device.

But, to answer your actual question, yes you should switch.

A few reasons I prefer the X over the One:

- better size

- better call quality

- better reception

- stock rom is 8,000,000,000 times better than the stock Sense rom

- better battery life for almost everyone (not me yet, though)

- active notifications better than the stupid tiny LED (I hated that 1 atom-sized LED that would flash once every 17 minutes)

- for me, already most photos are better on the X versus the One (and I think camera improvements are soon coming)

- normal android navigation buttons (goodbye stupid One back and home only)
[Moto X Q&A] eallan:
I've got both, they're both pretty great.

One:

Pros:

* Aluminum is great, so is the curved body

* Front speakers are phenomenal

* Display looks terrific

* There is a google play edition!

* Camer works great in low light and elsewhere

Cons:

* The buttons are the dumbest decision ever

* Sense is pretty bad for the non google play edition

* Camera has low resolution

Moto X:

Pros:

* Feels absolutely terrific in hand

* SOFTWARE BUTTONS!!!!

* Customization

* Loud Speaker

* Dimple in the back!

* Touchless control and camera gesture

Cons:

* AT&T logo and AT&T Address book.......

* Locked down tighter than fort knox on AT&T

* Camera is not good

* Pricing is a bit iffy

* Moto Support is clueless

It's hard to go wrong.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ludbosanac17:
Just the other day my phone has started vibrating weird with a buzzing noise. There was no particular thing that could of caused it which is why im like in a state of wtf. Do u guys think the vibration motor may have moved out of place or is loose and I can open and re put it in place or.... Do u guys think its completely broke? It does still vibrate and unless its on the top 2 vibration intensities you cannot feel it.

Try the following test:

Do any of those work on lower settings?

Are you stock?

Try a Factory reset.

Here are a couple of options if you have a hardware issue:

- Asurion insurance or other type of insurance you may have

- Samsung one year warranty

Below are 2 links.

The first to a website that sells the OEM vibration motor, but verify if you purchase.

The second is an S4 take down video.

S4 OEM vibration motor (verify this if purchasing via part # and other possible suppliers)

Edit:

I reread your post and see that you have a working motor that you can't really feel on the 2 lower settings. I take that to mean the motor is working, but lightly (I originally thought they weren't working, hence my links.) And the 2 other settings have a noise.

Guess all motors are different, or maybe something is 'loose.' I suggest to keep an eye on it, and if the issue gets worse, etc., you can always reference the links above.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dynospectrum:
Mine has an insanely intense vibration as well. Was like that since the first day. Just bump down vibration in settings (i use KTweaker app personally).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ludbosanac17:
I opened it and the motor looks fine and nothing is lose. I put it all back together and will unroot and go to stock so I can do the warranty. However do u think there is a clear way for T-Mobile to tell I opened it? There wasn't any seals or things unplugged that are seeable and I closed it near perfection. (Bottom is barely not flush and I can say it was like that) plus the people will see everything else is flush and I doubt they will go in depth enough to check it all. No water damage and physical damage. In prestine condition. So I will get a new one for 20$ and 3-4business days the rep told me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Sounds good to me.

I doubt they will meticulously check the fitment.

I'm not sure if there is anything that would tip them off to screw removal such as any tamper proof markings, etc.

Just check the Bootloader to make sure everything is stock.

Also check :

And make sure it doesn't say Modified or Custom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ludbosanac17:
I will and I'm gonna make sure its dead stock when I do it and if he asks why I have it reset I'll say I did a completely factory reset. :D And there was nothing like a marking or a special tape you lift when opening it. U just take off back, take out cards and battery, unscrew the screws, thus causing the edge to be very slightly lifted... where you use a small card and pop it out around the edges (small snaps like the back cover putting on, that popp back into place normally when you put it back together) then its completely off and you see the board... you undo 1 screw on the board and lift like 1-2 plugs such as the thing that leads to the screen and the 4G antenna cable and then you lift up the board and see the motor underneath. The motor was normally placed so I put the board back, plugged everything in normally and snapped it all in place. Came out perfect and bottom I can say is just due to the motor being wrong, or something else messed up causing it. But since I'm doing it through T-Mobile and not Samsung's warranty I'm guessing the store rep will just say its hardware failure and get me a new one and when they go to fix it all they won't care and just swap out the entire board itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Lucky you!

Everyone S4 I've seen has a really weak vibration motor that you can barely feel. It's the one real flaw to the S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ludbosanac17:
I think the S4 has a vibration motor that doesnt have a 'hammer' to it or whatever the part is called that some phones do. Explains why some peoples phone sounds like a vibration "ringtone" then a vibrating phone xD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I'm one of those lucky ones :)

My S4 wears a Cygnett WorkMate Evolution case, and my S4 vibrates off whatever surface it's on :eek:

Jk, but it does have a powerful vibration mode that's easily felt through the case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ludbosanac17:
Hopefully my refurbished when I get it will act like that. I appreciate all the help guys but I pray that they dont find something wrong with my opening of it and then try to charge me.I hope not but see if all goes well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I wouldn't worry much.

You'll be going to a Tmo store.

Make small talk with the rep about Kitkat or something, until he makes the swap.

Or are you sending it in?

I gotta read that post again.

You will have to pass a lie detector test though lol!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
This is all a vibrator gizmo is, for anyone who's never seen one....

It's just a tiny little motor with a lopsided weight on the shaft to make it be unblanced when it spins. Spinning it faster makes it vibrate a little more intensly, but putting a more lopsided weight on it is what really makes the magix happen. They are actually REALLY easy to modify once you have access to the motor itself. All you have to do is add a small drop of solder (like REALLY small) to the heavy side of the weight and it will be even heavier on that side so it vibrates more.

It doesn't take much, and adding too much can over do it and cause the motor to vibrate too much and wear out quickly. Remember, every other motor on the planet is specifically engineered to avoid this by making it perfectly balanced. For larger motors any imbalence will lead to the bearings wearing out quickly. Tiny little motors like this can get away with it, but they have their limits.

(If anyone tries this mod and breaks their phone, that's your problem, not mine. I don't actually recomend doing this because Ic an't tell you exactly how much solder to put on. I'm just saying it'll work if you do it right.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ludbosanac17:
Well I think they will mail me a replacement and not a in-store swap because I had it for like 2 months now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ludbosanac17:
Motor looks nothing like that for the S4. The motor is a small little circular thing that almost looks like a small magnet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Maybe they can:

Pre order a replacement for in store exchange.

When it arrives, swap it out.

Or

Do they need the phone first to check out, then they'll exchange it?

If you don't have insurance, what is the warranty protocol?

The S4 to Tmo to Samsung to Tmo to you?
