It seems your brain, if any, has defects.

Google went flat earlier than Apple.

And the 4.4 dialer looks pretty much like the 2011 Android 4.0 ICS people app

ANDROID 4.0 ICS

But it's okay. After all, you're only 17, and an ignorant noob who doesn't even know the looks of the pure Android but Samsung's TouchWiz garbage skin which kills completely the flatness of pure Android.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jeoster:
I've had my S3 for about 9 months. When I bought it from AT&T I also purchased the $10/month accidental insurance coverage. I'm glad I did now, because my phone's screen somehow got a hairline crack in it right across the center.

AT&T doesn't do the insurance themselves. Its handled through a company called "Asurion". The person at AT&T says I just call them, and they send me a new (refurb probably) phone, and then I send mine back. I don't know how picky they are about root and flash counters, but I want to try to be safe here.

Here's my problem: I've bought Triangle Away and it works perfectly, but I'm not clear on how to get back to stock and ALSO have the flash counter at 0.

I can reset the counter with root just fine, but then when I flash the stock boot image through odin to unroot, It shows up as a flash on the flash counter.

This is what I've done so far:

1- I was running CM10.1 IIRC

2- I downloaded and flashed the stock ICS build that my phone came with using odin and the S3 unified ToolKit

3- when I started the phone up, AT&T software update had me download and install JB 4.1.2

4- I rooted via ToolKit/Odin so that I could use triangle away

5- triangle away was successful in resetting my flash counter and system status

So right now I have my S3 on stock firmware with the flash counter and everything reset just fine,

except its rooted

.

HOW DO I UNROOT MY DEVICE WITHOUT TRIPPING THE FLASH COUNTER AGAIN?

Thanks for any help! I'm sure I'm missing something simple.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grenefroggie:
I am sure you can just flash the latest stock .tar with Odin. If you are sending it back it doesn't hurt it. That would be easiest I think.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jeoster:
First of all, thank you for the swift reply.

That's what I've done, but you can still see that I've tampered with it because at that point when you enter download mode, you will see "CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)"

Is there any way to eliminate that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Boxy52:
I actually just had to send my S3 back in. The best way to do it is flash a stock odin that's rooted, download triangle away, run it again, and then immediately unroot/remove triangle away and then boot into download mode to check. It should be fine, and then just send it back.

Thanks.

How do I unroot without tripping the flash counter though? That's my real problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jeoster:
versed testype

OK so I think I've got it.

-I used triangle away

-I uninstalled triangle away

-I flashed the stock boot image through odin (which I think was unnecessary)

-I unrooted through the SuperUser app

Now my phone shows this on the download mode screen

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

and the app "root checker basic" shows no root access.

I'm going to turn it off and on a few times and use it for a bit then re-check to make sure the flash counter stayed put. I've had issues where the flash counter mysteriously comes back even though I never flashed anything, but I have my fingers crossed.

is unrooting via the button in SuperUser suffient? seems too easy. I never knew you could unroot that way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jtcromer:
Easy out. Smash it to the point it won't come on.

I filed a claim today through asurion and am facing the exact same problem.

When I send back the phone, it will be a zip lock baggie of pieces after I ran over it

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffbrown1966@hotmail.com:
I download the upgrade tool from Samsung it flashes from download mode, every time it boot and sees the custom recovery it will trip the counter.

So I run triangle away pull the battery put the phone in download mode and run the Samsung file when it is done do factory reset and all should be good no root and flash counter at zero.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scaryfaces:
I rooted my S4 when it first came out and I have never updated it. It won't let me install the OTA updates, but I was wondering if there are any benefits to the updates and should I unroot and update? Much appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
No need to unroot! Just do a system wipe and flash a custom ROM that has the newest version of 4.3 incorporated in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
I wouldn't update/take the OTA for MF3 if you are currently running AMDL firmware or previous older firmwares. The MF3 OTA update updates your bootloader and thus seals an exploit that blocks your device from using custom recoveries/kernels.

If you do take the OTA for MF3 for what ever reason do know that you can still flash custom ROM's by using safestrap after rooting it. Just don' attempt to flash any recoveries other than that provided by the app safestrap.

As for benefits on MF3? I haven't noticed many improvements IMO other than the official ability to use apps2sd. App2sd can be easily replaced by third party solutions. I suggest you stay rooted and install a custom recovery such as Philz touch, lastly, flash an MF3 based ROM via our android development section.

Good luck! =)

Hi Folks,

This is my first post, although I've owned my XDAIIs for several weeks and I've ROM'd it to the iMATE 1.4 ROM. So I've had a good play.

I was looking at smsOrganizer (from Jeyo) which is badly supported (and it ain't free) and I wondered why I (we) couldn't write something to do the same thing, for free.

Is there a forum for this kind of activity, or could someone point me in the direction of some exmples of how to pass data between the PC and phone?

Best regards

Andrew B
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Good stuff.

I'm just learning C++ actually, I never learnt C, coming from self-taught VB on the PC.

RAPI is the way to do most PC<>PDA communications, although right now I'm only just getting into sms stuff. It'd be easy enough (I think) to write an interface to create an SMS on the PC in text, transmit that to the PDA and then SMS it off, but the backend of it would require some implementation.

Keep us posted though!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AndrewB:
From what I've read it looks as if you need to write an app to sit on the device and another app on the main PC. The app on the phone just acts as an agent passing data between the sms services and the PC.

SMS Auto sending

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to auto send all sms in draft? Basically, every sms in draft folder needs to be send one by one by ticking send button.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AndrewB:
OK,

I can now send a text message from my PC to a DLL on my phone using RAPI, then send a SMS using MAPI.

The trouble is I can't get the subject and body fields to display correctly on my XDAIIs. Also I can't get the Name to appear instead of the number.

I'll try to post the code later on the understanding that it is FREE and we pool our experiences/knowledge.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AndrewB:
Here is the code for the DLL and the PC program. Just press one of the keys on the tol bar to send the message. The number and message are hard coded.

There are ABSOLUTELY NO guarentees with this code, use it at you own risk.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nutitija:
can it recieve SMS as well ?? Has any body thought about other API's to use for sending and recieving SMS's maybe ?

Well.... Not yet.

This is my first ever .net VC++ program !!!!

There are lots of code snipets around but no full source code.

This is a work in progress project hence it is in the "Development and Hacking" fourm.

If you'd like to add some functionality to it......
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nutitija:
I am asking because there seems to be a problem when trying to recieve SMS with SMS api as the HANDLE is already attributed to the messaging application (inbox/draft/outbox).

I believe you are using RAPI ? However i do not understand this API that well could u specify a bit more ?

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AndrewB:
Hi nutitija,

I'm only using the RAPI function to pass parameters from my PC to the XDA. The actual sending of messages is done using the MAPI in the XDA.

My biggest problem is getting the subject/body and from fields to display correctly in the different XDA mail views.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
I have a backup made with TWRP 2.6.0.0 of boot/data/system that were saved as .ext4.win files by booting into TWRP and doing a backup.

However, when I tried to browse the file using Nandroid Manager 1.4.1, most (but not all) of the app directories in /data/data/{packagename} are missing their actual data. They have a lib dir that's a <link>, but nothing else. However, some apps DO appear to have their normal and expected data. I could understand if NONE of them did... but I'm mystified as to how SOME could have data, but others that I know for a fact store data in /data/data/{packagename} are coming up empty.

I can think of a few possibilities:

* For some bizarre reason, TWRP didn't back up the files for certain apps. Unlikely, unless Illusion 4.2.2 (based on SlimRom/AOSP 4.2) was doing something weird with symlinks that confused it.

* Nandroid Manager 1.4.1 mangled the backup files while uncompressing them. Oh ${deity}, I hope this isn't the case. It never even occurred to me that it might try to uncompress the originals "in-place" and delete the original copy when I ran it and gave it the OK to uncompress them first.

* Nandroid Manager 1.4.1 uncompressed them fine, but for whatever reason can't explore the uncompressed backup properly.

I copied the .ext4.win files to Windows and tried finding something that can explore them, but I'm coming up blank. I tried ext2explore from Sourceforge, but it silently ignores me when I try to browse to the .ext.win file as a filesystem to mount.

Any ideas what to try next, either Android-side (Nandroid Manager 1.4.1 itself is the problem, and hopefully didn't mangle the backups themselves by attempting to uncompress them) or Windows-side?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
Update: I have another theory. At the time I did the backup, my phone was bootlooping (it made it up to the converging-diverging RGB spotlight animation, then stayed there forever). To reboot, I had to 3-finger it (power+home+down or up, don't remember which one I used at the time).

I'm wondering whether it might be a case of TWRP backing up the raw image of a dirty ext4 partition that had uncommitted data in the journal, and the recovery tools that I'm using to explore it for individual files are blindly mounting it like an ext2 volume & causing any file written by an actively-running application to show up as "gone" instead of showing the old version.

If that's the case, would treating the .ext4.win file like the output of 'dd', then running an ext4 repair tool on it, be likely to fix it? I'm somewhat familiar with issues like this, but I've never actually had to deal with one head-on, so I'm a total n00b when it comes to the details of mounting a Linux filesystem from a dump file and allowing Linux to fix it as if it were rebooted into a dirty filesystem.

Hey Folks,

I am facing a wierd problem with Samsung Galaxy SII I9100. I was using Resurrection ROM v 4.0.6 JB ROM. Suddenly my device crashed and shut down. So when I tried restarting, after the SAMSUNG logo, nothing comes on, but the light on back and menu buttons is on. So I tried going to download mode and flashing a new CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5 recovery. Still the same issue after the reboot done by ODIN application! So, when I tried to go to recovery, I was able to go in only once. The same issue persisted for later reboots. So when I got into the recovery for the first time, I installed asnet-miui rom. But it gave the same freakin error!

What do I need to do now? Please help urgently.

But in my case, when I tried Wipe Data and Cache using stock recovery, to my surprise it didn't delete any of the data on internal sd card and the stock ROM started working. So I flashed latest CWM from Chainfire. But I am still not able to use a flashed custom ROM (Asnet MIUI). I am able to install the ROM correctly, but after reboot from CWM, it doesn't even show the bootscreen. So I am thinking that this has to do something with partitioning issue or the internal usb storage has corrupted. Please correct me if I am wrong.
