I'd like to try the first link, all the comments say its super easy and it works. Unless I'm blind...I didn't see a download link within the redmond page??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
These are links out of our subforums. I have not kept up on this since I got an older s4. I would scan thru them and ask questions there till you are up on mf3. You do, as mentioned, need to root a certain way with mf3. And you can run TW only custom roms. The recovery mf3 uses is not a recovery like other s4's flash but a specific one for mf3, based on twrp 2.6.--. However it is not twrp 2.6 per se. The more you read up, less likely to brick anything--:)

They are not in a certain order so look at all and see which is most up-to-date--

I still prefer methods actually on XDA with more feedback--imho

Thanks guys for all the replies. I was able to root using the kingo method. I had to uninstall the already installed drivers...that was the only issue I had. Its been so long since I've done this sort of thing, guess I have a lot to catch up on. I'm not ready now but I would like to play with different Roms etc...I certainly don't want to brick my phone so I need to read up with my specific device and fully understand what I can and can not do.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nash2000:
I can proform the nandroid from TBU...right? Its been that long. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
I do it from recovery, not TBU. Always have. I don't know what features the "fake" twrp recovery has. Would assume it can do a nandroid. But, initially any backup is better than none. I also keep a copy on pc in case sdcard is lost. :)

Definitely get a TBU app/data bu also. I even put that copy on pc also. If you haven't used TBU before. Most people only restore app/data not system when restoring to new rom.

Seems a little harsh. :) I don't suppose the O2 support team are trained in the sort of networking technologies that you mention, since O2 is a mobile phone company, not a Windows or networking consultancy. :) They're more your average customer-services kinda folk. Try asking them about O2's services, phone options or tariffs.

Oh. Hold on. I did, and they were crap. :shock: :roll: The first operator told me that video calling on my monthly tariff costs 50p per minute. The second operator confirmed that (for the forseeable future) the calls are inclusive, in your montly minutes.

I don't think O2's customer service is great, but I would't call them expecting help on networking or Windows technologies. :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Broon:
How many devices have you tried to pair it with? The problem may not be with the stack on the XDA but the other device.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
Yep, i would also ask the same. Maybe you have tried this: ( I think no pairing even needed)

Go to file explore;. tap and hold on a small file. Choose beam. Then you should see: Infrared, and under it: searching.

Does it find the other Bluetooth device?

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Paul. W:
Ive had a few problems with pairing up with the XDA IIi (my other phone)

Same thing, just randomly fails. Going to try it with an S very soon.

why should O2 support WiFi and VPN such?

These are things which are not network related thus, O2 cannot be held responsibile for any of these not working.

Wifi will work if its setup correctly. Every single Wifi setup is different in some way shape or form which is why mobile phone operators wont support features like this. However if you cant make a phonecall, send a txt or MMS im sure they would get the problem solved.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] damsnell:
At the end of the day guys yes 02 are responsible for only call related stuff, but to sell equipment and not know what it does and how to support it is crap! (sorry but it is!).

Wifi works perfectly and i have had no issues with this, bluetooth will pair with devices but send and receive to none...have tried my tablet pc, Samsung D600, Nokia 6230 etc....all fail.....

VPN over wifi does not work correctly unless you can hit a public DNS address (i.e doesnt work via I.P).....however it does work over 3G??? funny that isnt it....the free way of connecting to my office or other servers doesnt work but but the expensive way does???hmmmmm

Anyway i'm moaning too much now, its a nice phone and things kinda work but i'm not overly impressed! bluetooth is something i do use as is terminal services and it'd be nice if they both worked as i would expect.....

Ok a friend S3 started acting up I didn't back up so I lost anything

When I tried to put back the original firmware on the phone using Odin for no reason at all will it be installed. It will just stick on Nand writing in the bottom part of the screen and nothing on tp part of the screen that would usually show FIL, PASS etc.

Next thing with some other firmwares the blue loading bar on the phone will go to basically 100% but nothing will happen on the phone

I did get on 2 firmwares, one just kept booting to the Samsung logo then go in a revolving boot sequence with the animation coming up, the other firmware I got on seems like it belonged to some other phone company and after their boot screen comes up and the Samsung's logo come on the screen it will just stay there.

In both cases the phone was left after installation on both screens for hours with no success.

All I want to do is put back on the 4.12 JB T mobile version enter unlock code and give back to my friend

Can I get some assistance please thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Take out the battery and post the model number here.

Factory reset to get past the forever spinning Samsung logo. The Odin fails are probably due to incorrect firmware.

You should stick to that forum before someone doesn't read this thread and answers with a link to our firmware which will brick your device.

It should be in there somewhere. Did you read the stickies? Like aerowinder said, all tour future questions need to be posted in that forum. We know very little about your device here.

I had the same issue as you for me it helped to install the TWRP 2.6.10 and then i made a sideload.

With any other Recovery your storage stays at 48mb you have to have this version of the TWRP recovery.

Did you tried to flash it or did you flashed it? Its necessary to have it on your device with 2.16 HBOOT! Have you an working ADB on your computer? If not download it (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).

Its much better than any toolkit. Error 99 just shows up because your SDK/ADB is outdated thats why its not working.

Sideload works just as i described in another post:

Just open up TWRP and choose the sideload option and then just follow the link above (type the commands in the ADB to sideload the ROM, the you just click on install .zip and choose the "sideload.zip" but remember you have to have S-OFF again after Flashing MaximusHD)

[HTC One S] cyberusman:
I Go on every day at 3:00 pm Eastern Time. Im going to try to side load the rom tomorrow

Edit: Also is there any way i can go back to how my recovery was ( With out sideloading ) So i can mount and flash instead ? Because im going to get a rom compatible with hboot 2.16 then put s-off again then im going to find out how to downgrade it back to normal. My only question is how do i install a ruu And which rom should i install it on.... Im going to get the rogers ruu for my htc one s.
[HTC One S] miniAndroidian:
1st of all only the maximushd ROM is compatible with the 2.16 hboot and not any other ROM yet. So you have to downgrade your hboot first. (i dont know exactly how it works but im sure you'll get help in this forum if you ask for it :))

2nd: The right RUU for your One S depends on where you live for example (europe or "WWE" for world wide, or north america,) then you have to choose the right carrier for your phone but only if its carrier branded if not then take a non branded ruu.

Then you have to choose the version of the RUU for e.g. 4.1.1 for the latest one.

The right RUU for me would be the "OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301852xf01hejl416oev96.zip" one

3rd you cant simply flash a RUU via recovery. A RUU is an .exe file for your pc and your phone has to be connected to your pc to flash it. If the RUU setup shows errors, like "hboot is too new/unknown" you have to downgrade your hboot manually before flashing a RUU.
[HTC One S] cyberusman:

please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
What preceded the 'black screen?'

I assume you're Rooted.

Can you get into Recovery?

To get into Recovery:

Power down device.

Don't turn on

Press Power & Vol up buttons at same time

Release when device vibrates and you see Blue Recovery booting words in left upper corner.

Wipe cache, dalvik cache and boot.

If that doesn't work,

Flash Nandroid backup

If you don't have a Nandroid backup, Factory Reset, wipe cache & dakvik cache

If that doesn't work,

Go to ODIN/Download mode, and install Samsung Stock Firmware via ODIN.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fozzy501:
the thing is that im not rooted at all. i dont know wat to do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
What preceded the black screen?

What were the events leading to the black screen?

Installing something, trying something new, jumping into a pool forgetting the deviceuisuin youropocket, stuff like that.. The info can help determine what is going on.

You're not rooted is ok.

The fact that some stuff is working is good.

After you answer the above, you can:

Power down phone.

Make sure the battery has at least 50% charge.

If you can't see the stats and think you may be low on juice, pluguin the device for an hour andlet charge.

After you are charged, you're going to go into the he stock recovery

By doing the following:

Power down device

Press Power & Vol up buttons at same time.

Release buttons when you see the blue words in upper left corner of screen and feel the Vibrate.

Using the volume buttons, scroll up or down to Factory Reset

Press Power button to confirm

Let the screen go through its stuff

Then you will choose reboot and enter it with the Power button.

It'll take 15-20 minutes sometimes, so just wait and see if you're device boots.

If the above fails to boot your device successfully, you'll have to ODIN Samsung Stock Firmware via your pc.

i was using it fine at night and then i didnt have a charger so i used the car charger and plugged it into the power outlet and then in the morning the screen was all black.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Ohhh.....

Hold off on the above instructions.

Do you have another battery you can try?

Or a friend whose battery you can try?

Edit:

But you can hear and adjust the volume, it's just the screen is black.

That would lead me to believe the battery is good.

Hopefully there is no internal damage form a bad car charger, etc.

Just thinking out loud.

Perhaps try the Recovery steps above after charging the battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fozzy501:
i mean it says it charges wen i plug in the normal charger, but at the moment i dont have another battery

do you think thats the problem because i mean the screen is all black but the i can touch the screen and feel it vibrate wen i try to unlock the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I see......

First see jif you can get into Recovery.

If you can or can't, let me know.

Then we'll go from there.

If you can:

First try wiping cache, dalvik cache and reboot.

If that doesn't work, do the Factory reset I wrote the steps to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fozzy501:
i tried the recovery options but nothing will come up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
It will help if you tell me the steps you did and what the device feedback was.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fozzy501:
i did the steps you told me hold the volume& up and power and nothing came up. i felt it vibrate but nothing came up. the screen flashes just a little bit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
If you attempted to get into stock recovery following the proper procedure without success, I'd try one more time.

If failure repeats, try to boot the device into ODIN/Download mode by:

Power down device

Don't power up

Press Power & Vol DOWN buttons this time.

Hold the buttons until the device boots into ODIN mode, usually just a few seconds.

Let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fozzy501:
nope nothing:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I have a feeling the device may have booted into Recovery successfully, but the screen is blacksso you can't see the Recovery screen.

When you say it lit up a little, please describe.

Does anything on the screen light up at anytime?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fozzy501:
when it rebooted it did a small flash starting froim the top of the screen to the bottom, really fast and really quick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I'm not 100% ccertain, but it appears your screen is shot. May not be the screen itself, but the circuitry that lights the screen.

How that happened I'm not 100% certain, but it would appear that it has something to do with car charging the device.

I went through as much troubleshooting as I know, but without the display, I don't know how to get into Recovery or ODIN, which most likely is a moot point because the issue is most likely not software related, but hardware related.

Hopefully I'm wrong ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Just a heads up...when you use a car charger to charge your phone its highly recommended to unplug it as soon as its charged. I believe thats what caused your problem.
