You had this closed once. I for one will keep my Nexus 4 even though I could get one,4+ or5. There is plenty of life in the nexus 4.im happy with it as is as I get hsdpa + speeds of 15mb/s +.

I'm not insecure enough to need the latest version for no reason at all.

Hi, this is the first time i post something in this forum. First I want to say sorry for my bad english and second, here is my BIG problem:

I just purchased a Galaxy S4 I337 for AT&T. I have to say that I don't understand very much about rooting and modding. The thing is that I tried to root this phone and then I can't do nothing with it. I only can enter into the odin mode.

I tried to unroot and reinstall the Stock Factory Rom that I already donwloaded from sammobile and I used Odin 3.04 and 3.07 versios and in both fail the operation and in both happen the same thing:

You have mf3 firmware on your phone. Odin won't work. I'd take it to bestbuy with a Samsung experience. They can flash the mf3 firmware.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:
Hi all,

Have purchased a German MDA_C and flashed it to the latest dutch WWE rom (1.13). I use the NOID updater and get an error message at 99% of the update.

After this my MDA hangs at the splash screen (but showing updated rom and radio versions).

Doing a lot of soft and hard resets I managed to get by the splash screen 1 time...

Tried a lot of different rom versions but each time I get the same problem

I've read that the SPLASH screen problem is more or less common but I wasn't able to find a solution on the forum.

Now I made one stupid mistake... I did not backup the original rom...

Any suggestions how to get up and running?

Thanks in advance...

BuDDaH
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] kta:
The very first boot takes a long time, 15 mins for some! If you're not waiting for around 15 mins ....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:
Thanks for this valuable information kta.

This time I waited 1 hour after upgrading just to be sure.

same result. flashing stops at 99% of the CE Rom.

Hard reset shows splash screen with version numbers (radio 1.13 rom 1.13 wwe) and then just hangs.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:
From bad to worse :(

So I had a MDA_C that did not boot further than the splash screen.

Updated using the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. Thought I'd give the SD way a try since I already tried about 6 different roms all with the same result.

First I made a backup to SD card of what was in my MDA using romupdate.exe

extracted the file to my HD.

After extracting (and securing the device ID) I tried rebooting my MDA.

Now things got worse!!! instead of the splashscreen I now have the BLACK SCREEN......

Have tried resetting and hard resetting dozens of times (more like a thousand times) and only occasionaly the splash screen comes up. :roll:

But over the last couple of days I only managed to get the bootloader 1 time (and at that time there was no SD card inside) :shock:

this is behaviour I haven't read about on the forum.

Guess I will have to get it serviced.

Is there anyone on the board that has an address in the Netherlands that can flash or repair my mda? Not sure T-Mobile NL services German devices...

Thanks!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:
Not dead yet?

Here's some more info.

My 'almost dead' Magician is showing signs of life.

I had the BLACK SCREEN.... (first couple of lines of pixels were not black)

After thousands of hard and soft resets (soft resets seemed to have the best results) I managed to get into the bootloader!! Flashed with an older rom and at least I'm getting the splash screen again. (but still getting an error at 99% of update of the CE rom).

I'm updating using the exe in bootloader mode btw....

Since there's always an error at 99% when I use the exe method and the device is not booting I thought about giving the SD method a shot.

My device didn's show the SD option but fortunately tadzio explained about the MBR (didn't even know a SD card had one!!! :lol:

When I decode a nbf file using nbfdec.exe and flashing afterwards I get a message that my ROM is to small.

Size is same as nbf file.

How do I correctly decode a nbf file?

Thanks for the help.

BuDDaH
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Don't use a nbf, get a dumped or bs rom from the ftp & follow instructions with copying bytes etc.

M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:
Ok OLTP I'll skip the nbf decoding route.

Think one of the problems is the way the newer roms are encoded.....

Saw you're using a 1.13 bigstorage rom?

That one is not on the ftp is it?

Modified your own rom image?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Hi BuDDaH,

I downloaded at the Dutch TMO site the shipped-rom, unzipped the exe file & decoded the nk.nbf nbfdec. In this nk.nb1 I altered the usual BS bit patterns and re-encoded the nk.nb1, again with nbfdec, to the nk.nbf. After that it was just running, the extracted, upgrade program & it worked like the usual shipped-rom upgrade. you might have to use the maupgrade_noid version, sometimes twice.

This method is better described in the thread about upgrading to radio 1.13 which you can add along the road as well.

So yes I made it myself, not so fond of using other people's rom unless I have to. Please don't let anyone be offended by this, cause a replaced bit can cause serious harm, like I encountered myself, with my own corrupted rom-dump.

Good luck, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:
Just wanted to update you all on the latest status.

I managed to flash a german rom (as I've got a German device) although I always get an error message at 99%.....

Fist it just stuck on the splash screen but this somehow deteriorated. Now I get a black screen covering about 5/6th of the screen. the first 1/6th shows a part of the splash screen. No backlight and it hangs.

No more bootloader so I need to have it serviced (anybody knows what the techies do with such a device?)....

Now the question remains where.

T-Mobile NL refuses to service it since the IMEI is unknown to their system

T-mobile Germany doesn't have a service center but only takes repairs through a T-Punkt shop..

Any ideas?

Thanks,

BuDDaH
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:
Latest update...

I sent it in for repair and it turns out that the ROM is damaged and the phone needs a mainboard replacement..... which costs about the same as a new unit... :(

Anyone got a spare one laying around for me?

So much for my Magician!

BuDDaH....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Yzord:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] stevedebi:
You probably ran the battery down. I don't think it charges unless the ROM is working. That is why it is highly recommended that you start with a full charge before commencing a ROM update.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] BuDDaH:
Hi Stevedebbi,

Even in my situation the it still seemed possible to charge the battery (at least the red light went out and the battery got hot).

Sent my device to apexlaptops.co.uk cause they claimed they reflash...

Got the reply back that they couldn't get it too bootloader mode and were unable to repair. (guess they could not do some JTAG debugging).

I may be able to buy a working device that's damaged on the outside....

Hello,

I bought the Moto Skip for my Moto X, and want to put one of the stickers on my MacBook, but they are not anti-metal. I know I can buy anti-metal ones, and reprogram them to have the same function, but I already have the stickers, so I was wondering what insulating material the anti-metal NFC tags use, so maybe I could modify the Moto Skip stickers. Does anyone have any idea what the material is, or where I might get some?

It can be touchy at times but it does work. Also found that if I go to an older stock then OTA up, it resets. Some have had the same experience, some haven't on the latter method.

Anyone else get this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] galaxys3man30:
Thats because the oneclick dont wipe user data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Foulwx:
The one-clicks for the S2 that included the word "restore or full restore" completely wiped the internal memory of the device. The "no data" one-clicks did not wipe user data (rwilco12's rooted no data restore for MF9 is one of these) . I was hoping that this was the same for this device. I do have a file (from sextape's site I believe), called MDC_stock_restore, that does indeed wipe everything from the phone as if it came right out of the box. I'm just getting tired of having to revert all the way back to MDC to start from scratch.

Maybe rwilco12 or garwynn could clarify please.

Thanks.

It's all a blur of DL, partial DL, inexplicably paused DL, connectivity that's. been all over the board, at some point my conversations started consisting solely of grunts and profanity. But I persevered and was lead to your informative (without being wording), concise ( w/out being rude) and winner ( by a long shot) thread. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. If I had some $$, "...I'd make it rain up in here!", but unfortunately w/ my current finances the best I could probably pull off would be "a hail" of laundry quarters & I hear that can be painful. So, please accept my sincere thanks. BTW, I was having trouble getting my windows7 to play nice initially with the "7zip". Then I saw further on the Android option , but at sometime in the last two days I'd managed to unroot so MobileOdin was out. Stock recovery was what I needed, anyway the way I pulled it off was kinda hybrid, in that I DL file to my phone + unzipper app. Did all I could there then when it was time for Odin, I OTG'd the whole sticky mess over to my desktop & went from there. Worked like a charm:laugh:
