I don't know enough about it, but i've heard that strait talk throttles HARD (sub3g speeds) at like 3gb or so - if anybody has info on this, i'd be very appreciative!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
Hey guys.

First time rooter and poster.

I attempted to to root and install a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9305 last night after multiple assurances both from friends and online that its a simple, fool-proof process, and now I think I've bricked my phone.

Through Odin 3.07 I ran CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar as per the instructions. The phone rebooted and loaded into CWM recovery mode.

From there I did "wipe data/factory reset", "mounts and storage--- format /cache" and "advanced--- wipe dalvik cache". All operated without a hitch.

I then installed from SD card "CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20130910-0745-i9305.zip"

Again, it seemed to install without any problems.

Once that was done I attempted a "reboot system now".

The phone reloaded to the Samsung screen with a small red exclamation mark in the top left corner... This is where it stayed.

I pulled the battery to reset, and reloaded CWM recovery mode (volume up + power button + home button).

From there I read that I should've done another "wipe data/factory reset" after the install, so I did. I also read that a "format /cache" can help, so I did that too.

When I attempted another reboot it goes straight to download mode and from there I can't do anything...

What's going on??

Thanks in advance for any help.

Just finished doing that.

I seemed to have successfully restored it to stock (incl. network provider software) but any ideas on why it didn't work to start with?

Because I would like to try again.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
Update: I thought it was fixed. Turns out, not quite.

The phone now boots and operates as it normally would but for some reason cannot read that there is a simcard inserted.

I've tried to the simple on/off, take it out/put it back in, but its still not recognizing that there's a simcard inserted.

do a csc reset by *#272*imei#

or reflash stock after formatting system in cwm
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
Could you elaborate on the CSC reset? Where to I type in that code?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sangalaxy:
in dialer

csc is carrier servise to set your country

when you type this code ther will be a box with some options select your country code and it will reset your phone
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
Punching in *#272*imei# doesn't do anything. Pressing dial after punching it in just tells me I have no mobile network.

Then I realised the "imei" must stand for something, looked it up, punched in *#06# which is supposed to show me the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number, but it just popped up a window saying "null/null".

Have also tried your other suggestion of reflashing stock after a system wipe in CWM. No change.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sangalaxy:
imei null means your imei is lost

do you remember your imei or it will be in the back of your phone in the battery compartment or in the box of your phone type that imei
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
Ah. Thanks.

The IMEI in the back of the phone is:

353575/05/228340/9

Does this sound right?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sangalaxy:
yeah type that in in imei portion of code *#272*imei# that will reset your phone to correct network
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
No response :(

I did exactly that and nothing happens, if I then press dial/call it just pops up to say I have no mobile network...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
Another side note to add is that ignoring the sim card issue, I decided to reattempt rooting it.

I ran CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 through ODIN again. It executes without a problem, but when CWM boots up in recovery mode I get error messages.

If I then format /cache this goes away, but then I get stuck in the download mode only boot problem again...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sangalaxy:
did you flash the correct stock with the correct country
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
Well its an Optus specific build.

Optus being an Australian telecommunications company.

So I can't see how it could be for the wrong country.

And yes, the sim card is an Optus sim card too.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sangalaxy:
hmm so the network problem is with imei so first you have to restore that search in google

and next time backup the efs folder where the imei is stored

about rooting try any other methods don't know for your device but there is always 2 or more tricks to root

and try reflashing one more tym go to cwm wipe cache,dalvik cache,data and system then reboot

remove your battery connect it to pc go to download mode flash with odin

use the latest version of odin and your rom
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Unbalanced:
Read up some more about restoring the IMEI and finally, using ODIN flashed Param_Bin_I9305.tar.md5 and its back and operational again.

Now comes back to the original question, why didn't the CarbonROM work and what can I do to make it work???

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sangalaxy:
did the root operation succeeded

you should check with that. may be it was not rooted at all and that may be reason for the soft brick

after rooting check with root checker

and follow the instructions correctly mount system and data before flashing anything in cwm

and one more thing check on rom home page may be any requirements and do check with other kernels also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zynx:
To make this short, the guy that unlocked my phone said he cant unlock it because it has android 4.3 so he asked me if its ok to downgrade it, i said yes. My question is, will my phone be locked again if i upgrade it to 4.3? I forgot to ask him.

I dont want to risk updating it because i paid $20.

Also, he rooted my phone (i didnt know he was gonna do it but i dont mind), if it matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nuke_-:
I dont understand why you paying anyone when you can root your phone from many guides over here and all over the internet its pretty easy.

If you want to install stock without thinking search xda for stock 4.3 install that rom it wont unroot your phone so nothing to worry about if you want the stock rom.

Else i will suggest to explore more great roms out there.

I am trying out SlimBeans these days
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zynx:
I didnt pay anyone to root my phone. I paid a guy to UNLOCK it ( so i can use other sim cards other than the one my phone was locked in)

[General Questions and Answers] fartnakker:
I have a Samsung F8000 television, along with Cox cable/internet. Is there any way to make my own DVR to record shows so I do not have to buy/rent one from Cox Communications? I am looking for a way to just plug in an external hard drive and not a whole computer tower. Are there any creative ideas or apps out there to do this? I have been searching, but my searches are not coming up with something that is usable or practical. Looking to stay away from things like TiVo, as I would love to avoid the monthly charge. Thanks in advance for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] S0AndS0:
I'd suggest looking into the raspberry community and a TV capture box. Those combined with the external hard drive ya mentioned could give you the features and freedom you wish for.

Last I checked a TV capture box that converted the basic three ended (red yellow white) to USB was around $50 and a raspberry pi is usually round a $40 investment.

Though it's not going to be plug and play with that kind of set up :-/ instead you'll have to set up the pi with an OS, figure out which TV capture boxes party with Linux, software to handle recording and play back, and software to communicate with a remote control of somesort; perhaps an old Android phone from a previous upgrade.

Most of the puzzle pieces for something like this already exist and more, it's just when ya look to the bleeding edge it can be a bit of a dig.

I'll see what I and Google can find on the subject if you wish and I'd suggest the same (likely you've already done so) perhaps with these examples in the search bar though:

Raspberry pi media server similar:XDA

Raspberry pi Android remote control similar:XDA

"TV capture box" "Linux compatible"

"How to" "record TV" "Linux" "raspberry pi"

Some additional things that might be nice for your build would be a box to house and cool everything off; sooooo all in all it might be cheaper/easier to grab a used cable dvr or an old PC tower.... But that wouldn't be very DIY now would it?

I'll check back in a few if you've got follow up questions and perhaps I'll post some helpful links if I find any directly relating to your question :)

[General Questions and Answers] fartnakker:
I could probably get my hands on an old TiVo box, but still want to avoid the monthly fee. I also have an old Android, HTC EVO 4G. I would much rather prefer plug and play, or as close to it as possible. I do have some knowledge with Android/Linux, however, probably not enough to do all that you stated with the pi. I see that you are a STRYKER fan. Are you in EMS?
[General Questions and Answers] S0AndS0:
Indeed monthly fees are one to avoid... Really the big dig will be in finding a TV capture box that is compatible, once you've got that it's just a matter of plugging and installing and setting up with guides already documented for most of it.

Not sure what ya mean by the last comment, EMS?

if you've got a phone with MHL or USB on the go ya might be able to record TV into Android...it's a maybe but would be cool :)

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robs246:
My Samsung Tab T211 stopped charging after about a month of use.

Took the tablet in for repair to service center.

After 10 days and multiple visits to service center and complaining to Samsung Cust Care finally got it back.

It has been 48 hours since I got the tablet back & it has gone dead again.

Same problem as before , the battery is not charging via the main AC charger or PC cable. All my other phones r working fine using the same chargers and cables and power points. The service center told me they have replaced the board and battery but the issue persists, obviously points to a defective unit overall.

Anyone has any similar issues and suggestions for this. If yes, please let me know.

another potential problem with the Orange M5000.... IT MIGHT HAVE WI-FI DISABLED :!:

I was reading about the different models during the past few weeks before I finnally gave up and bought my xda Exec last week.

What I gathered from specialised sites was that Orange was considering disabeling the Wi-Fi capabilities of the M5000. a very stupid move i might add.....

In any case I went into an Orange shop early last week and enquired about the matter (and soon gave up due to the 'highly' knowledgable staff :roll: ) - the guy claimed that he was SURE that its not disabled - the person there showed me the info on Orange's intranet - and it actually has a remark there regrding the Wi-Fi capability of the device - that it "is up to the discretion" of the mobile operator....

I have no vested interst here - all I'm saying is - take care and make sure it has Wi-Fi b4 u buy it!

My old charger for the Iconia 500 broke and I got a replacement charger (not acer). When it came the iconia was already completely drained. I plugged it in, charged it, and since then the only thing that happens is this:

- I push power and after about 3s it turns white. Nothing happens on the screen, no vibration, nothing.

- I can turn the power back off by holding the button for 5s.

> I have tried holding the button longer but no difference.

> From what I have read I suspect it might somehow have gotten into APX mode?

> I have tried to read through the numerous posts on this forum but cannot quite find this same problem/am overwhelmed by the lingo.

> I have tried to connect the tablet to my PC with a microSD cable, and it lists it as APX, category unknown, APX doesn't have a driver

- Can anyone confirm/suggest what might be wrong with my tablet?

- Is this something that can be fixed at a repair shop?

- Is this something I could fix? (I have no ID's or codes for the tablet, have never played with APX mode before)

Thank you for any advice!

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Hi chris, yes you are stuck in apx mode.

To fix this you must have your tabs CPUID.

The easiest way is from an old nandroid backup, thats if you have one. If you do, look in the cwm backup folder under cpuid.txt

If you dont have a backup, your only chance is thru ubuntu. There is a guide by "srbeen" stickied in the General forum.

If you can retrieve yr cpuid, post back here and we can help u get fixed. YoU will need anutha file to do this tho'. Its called babsector.rar and you can download it in post 2 in the root guide in my sig.

You will also need a rom to flash - only ICS or JB.

To summarise,

1. Retrieve the cpuid/sbk

2. Once you have that then

3. Download babsector and a rom.

4. Come back here for unbricking help.

Good luck with the cpuid/sbk, without it you can do nothing.

Ok, so somehow (a miracle I guess) I managed to do your steps:

- installed ubuntu

- followed srbeen's steps upto the point where I got my CPUID

- got my SBK

- downloaded babsector.rar (luckily chrome offered to translate the russian site I found it at)

- unrarred it

- downloaded a ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935582 (is this an appropriate ROM?)

- unzipped the ROM and copied it to the external micro SD card

Can you point me in the right directions for the next steps?

Thanks,

[Acer Iconia A500] CKM80:
Next steps?

Hi dibb_nz (and others)

I am still stuck. I have been trying several things, but none worked so far.

- I think the drivers are installed properly. When I go to device manager it lists APX under unspecified device - with Acer USB Boot recovery Driver installed under the hardware tab. It also says Model: APX, Category: Unknown

- I tried to run babsector, and it gives me an error. Before giving me the error it does get my tablet to show the text "Entering Acer Download Mode" in the topleft corner. Then I get the error "failed executing command 16 NvError 0x120002, command failure: create failed (bad data)" in the attached image.

- I also tried to follow the steps in Timmy Dean's V4 post, since I hoped maybe that would help, but that also gave me an error. (Red letters saying it failed, and to follow the steps again and try again).

I feel once more defeated, and hope you know what to do next.
