"Trying everything" doesn't mean wiping the old stuff completely and putting in all new. Good things shouls be kept the rest can be modified and some new stuff can be put. One serious example is zoe themes. Loved those in sense 5. Hate currently in 5.5

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BaSingSe:
Here I try to revive a cold dead Galaxy S3 SCH-I535.

This phone is in beautiful shape. The water damage mark is white background with clear red x marks. I put in a fully charged good battery. No response. I plug in the ac power cord, still nothing.

The previous owner said he was trying to reset the phone via Odin (odd, since better to do soft reset from the phone). Then Odin failed and the phone won't power up again. I believe him 90%.

Anything I can do to try to revive it? Otherwise, I may have to replace the mainboard. If I do replace the mainboard, which mainboards can I use? I have a bad Sprint S2 with a bad LCD, but I do not think I can use that since Sprint does not use a SIM slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You'll probably want to do this debrick method. Just a couple things, when you plug it into your computer what does it pop up as? If the person did in fact brick the phone via Odin, the linked video requires you to do this in a Linux environment. So you can either boot off a CD or use Linux if you're already set up. Lastly, you need to have a class 10 microsd card that is the exact same size as your phone's internal storage. I haven't done this personally but it's been done Sprint (linked in video) and was brought over to the Verizon GSIII (also linked in video) so it is possible. Best of luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BaSingSe:
The phone is totally dead, no life at all. So I think the mainboard is dead. This is what he said:

I was restoring phones software to sell with Samsung Odin program and it just went blank. I tried to reload software but I can't get it to work

I've seen some videos on replacing the mainboard. I think that is still easier than replacing the LCD. I may have to stick with the same model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
If he used odin and broke it, it isn't totally dead, just means corrupt files in the boards main memory to run the phone. This can be fixed. Totally dead would be more along the lines of dropping your phone in a pool and frying the entire board.

Plug it into the wall with the battery out, if the red light comes on you can fix it two different ways:

1. Video snoop posted, following the exact instructions.

2. Jtag repair, costs around $60.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BaSingSe:
This is great. After I removed the battery and plugged the wall charger to it, the red light comes on! So it is not totally dead.

Also, after I plugged it into my Win7-64 machine, it shows as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" device. There are some posts about this already on the almost dead Android devices.

I'll do more research and maybe this phone can be revived. I thought it was totally dead since none of the lights turn on.

Thanks the great folks here.

Where to Find emmc dump?

Do you folks know where I can find the "emmc dump" for this phone? So I can use it to debrick my S3? Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BaSingSe:
Got it.

I gave it a first try and it did not work. Part of the reason is that I could not follow the direction 100%.

I used a Sandisk 32GB microUSB. I may need a 16GB drive. Also, the card does not say it is class 10.

Then my old card is crappy and I could not use it. So I used a GE camera and used the camera as a card reader. I have no problem getting the SD card recognized under ubuntu.

I copied the the disk image to the SD drive as directed. It sees 23 partitions. However, when I put in the SD card in my desktop, I only see one partition, which is about 64MB. I do not know if this is normal.

I'll try to get a class 10 16GB and a good card reader to go with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You definitely need the specific class 10 sd card that matches your internal memory and follow the directions exactly. You'll get it though, sounds like you're persistent enough.

The idea behind it is tricking your phone into thinking that card is your internal memory, it won't work without the size being the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BaSingSe:
I'll keep it trying to see how it goes. Thx for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BaSingSe:
I do not know if the debrick.img method really works. I've watched the video from this Verizon forum, but he never showed the phone, not the computer screen, but just talking. I've heard some other folks (Sprint, etc.,) get it work. But I just do not know....

I've got a new card reader and a Class 10 16GB micro SD card. I followed the procedure precisely. But the phone is still cold, 95% dead. When I mounted the SD card under Linux, it complains about the corrupt GPT table. I ran "parted" command (as directed), but the command blew up and never completed. Many other folks did not even mention parted command.

I'm puzzled..... Does it really work?

Hi

Follow the instructions in this video exactly, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU5H8NJ7vTM&hd=1

chances are you can repair yourself. Here is OP http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2504066

Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BaSingSe:
I watched that video and followed the steps exactly. But it is still no-go.

Also, in that video, the OP never showed any phone, or any of his work. He only claimed in the forum that his phone vibrated. I sent him PM twice, but never any response. It appears the OP is into iPhone more recently.

I also PM'ed other two folks who claimed this worked, at other forums here. But again, never any response. So I do not know if this method really works.

If anyone can get it work, I'd be happy to send my MB to him/her and pay the postage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Just made the mistake of flashing the firmware for a Sprint SGS3 to my Verizon SGS3 (not modem, just sbl, rpm and tz). I'm hoping this YouTube tutorial will fix my situation.

Anyone know if there's a way to manually push those files to the SGS3? The device is completely dead, except the red light does come on when plugging into the wall without the battery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BaSingSe:
This is exactly what is happening with my I535. I was never able to boot the phone with the SD card. Some folks claim this procedure works, but I've never been able to get anyone to confirm with me. I believe some of them just have soft bricked phone.

I've pretty much given up on it. Swapping mainboard is not that expensive....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] przemhb:
As you probably know CM-9.1.0 for Neo V is missing FM Radio. I am wondering if there's a way to install FM Radio from other ROM?

Maybe it is possible to install FM Radio from stock Android 4.0 with a help of some changes to build.prop? Maybe FM Radio from other ROM would do?

Have you tried and succeed? I would be thankful for information on how to do it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lalakis259:
I never tried... But if try I think I will fail because I can't flash anything with that custom rom... I can't understand... I only saw the instruction window and nothing happens when I connect the phone. Btw I have usb debugging, unknown resources and msc mode on my settings...

[Windows 8 General] lisalover1:
I have made up my mind that I want to upgrade from my old iPad 2 to an x86 Win8 tablet, but I have been trying to decide which one to get. The Surface Pro 2 looks nice, but the battery life seems a bit lacking from reviews that I have seen, and Bay Trail seems to be reasonably powerful for a cheaper cost and longer life, but I'm still unsure. The main reason I want a Win8 tablet is PC gaming. I know I won't be able to run games anywhere near the highest settings; I just want to run them, period. Would Bay Trail suffice, or do I need an i-series processor to get reasonable gaming capability? Second, I want the tablet to have a digitizer & stylus. I have been totally spoiled by my Galaxy Note 2, and now I use it to take notes in all my classes, but would appreciate the extra screen real estate. As for price, I don't want to spend over a grand for a tablet, as I already have a primary Windows machine. I would like the tablet to get at least 6 hours of battery (The Acer Iconia W700 originally caught my eye thanks to its 8 hours), since I'm used to iPad-length use and would like to have something that can at least manage 3/4ths of that. The Dell Latitude 11 looks promising, but with no confirmation on a US release date nor the cost of options, I'm not sure if it is worth the wait. Opinions?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I have an intel core i3 laptop running at 1.8ghz with the default intel HD4000 graphics. Runs BF3 on minimum *just* and skyrim with a config hack. I doubt baytrail will run either one at all sadly. Surface pro will definitely run both (and thanks to the updated graphics may not require the config hack, if not all you need is notepad to fix skyrim), its more powerful than my laptop is, just lacking in battery department as you say and rather expensive.

I would perhaps look on youtube for when people start posting their own unboxing videos and ask them *nicely* if they could test X program. Youtube user robaxx did a few demos of user requests with his clovertrail device.

If gaming wasnt a requirement baytrail would probably be overqualified immediately. The old atom chips from netbooks were quite happy with office and visual studio etc, VLC even seems capable of decoding 1080p video on my brothers 1.3ghz netbook (however he only has a 1024*600 screen or something so it certainly doesnt play at 1080p, the video file is natively 1080p). However minecraft with the optifine mod still only squeezes 15fps on both tiny and short render (seriously, same on both distances, weird).
[Windows 8 General] mjs2011:
I have this one and absolutely love it. It's a little bulkier than the Surface but runs really well. The only minor complaint I have is that the screen prevents you from viewing from multiple angles (basically the screen gets dark when looking at it from the side).

Otherwise, it's fantastic! I use it as a tablet most of the time, but having the option to connect to a keyboard with an extra battery and USB/HDMI ports really comes in handy.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BorrisZarechnii:
I have Nexus 4 phone which is 4core 1.500MHz x 4 = 6000 MHz at first i thought wow what a power, hoever after having it for month its just another android phone so what it can play complex 3d games, i had this on older android years ago, its really literally useless you dont have microsoft word excel all other apps like temviewer are small and have this ridiculous mobile interfaces that have stripped half of features.

They can put more juice in the phone than on my desktop it still be same tiny a#$ phone.

What would make difference is a bigger screen option, i mean say size of laptop screen 15.5-20in screen with dock for your android phone.

And i mean screen with touchpad so you can forget about your phone once you dock it, basically use phone as hardware, and screen as interface.

But i know this will never see a daylight because google and others want to sell their phones and their pads separately making double profit rather than releasing having an inexpensive screen dock. Marketing eh.
[HTC One X] salonluden:
I was installing an app (swiftkey) and my phone froze. I manually tried rebooting but it wont turn on at all (not even bootloader). When I connect it to a power supply the LED doesn't even light up (although it had 25% battery before the problem). My phone definitely wasn't overheating (I checked immediately after to make sure nothing happened) and I wasn't OCing or anything.

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks in advance,
[HTC One X] humzaahmed155:
Is it recognized on a computer? Trying to rule out whether it's the QHSUSB_DLOAD issue that some people got, if it's recognized on a computer, and the driver installation says that, your phone's in usb download mode, as far as I know there are tools out there to kick the phone out of that mode, just not sure if it's for the One X.

P.S, what HOX is it? Because this only happens to the US variants
[HTC One X] salonluden:
Thanks for responding.

I have the international version. I've also ruled out QHSUSB_DLOAD as it does not show up in my drivers list at all... any other ideas?
[HTC One X] humzaahmed155:
Hmm I'm afraid it could be a dead motherboard, try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery inside the phone
[HTC One X] salonluden:
I was worried about the motherboard also although I cant believe I didnt think of checking the battery. I'll take apart the phone tomorrow see whats going on inside - thanks for the ideas.
[HTC One X] istampal:
Dead HOX

If you disassembly motherboard connect it to the PC . You should see it in control panel and also storage. Conect only battery and led diode should glow in red colour. If you end up with dead motherboard be carefull i bought one from ebay useless and 2 localy also useless. Unfortunately used motherboards on the market are mostly useless. Good luck.
[HTC One X] salonluden:
Ok motherboards' gone.... I purchased a Nexus 5 32gb I think it should take my HoX's place nicely.

Thanks guys!

The total for the case and postage is £38,95. While you were reading the posts on this site you may have noticed the basis for this site is the spirit of sharing. Just in case you dont know what that means, it involves people putting effort into solving problems or writing software that makes the XDA range much more useful to the users, the results are then posted for FREE. It is not a commercial site, the owners ask nothing and the authors of the software patches/bug fixes/rom upgrades etc are happy with the knowledge that their efforts are appreciated.

i am not doin no fraud.

i will list it on ebay and after i have made a lil bit of money i will post the info here for all uk mda pro users to use for free

but if there is a way than is it also available at tmobile netherlands

if it is i and others are wellwilling to deal with you

i agree

i agree with surinamer123 cuz im also dutch, and if we can really make use of this way and it really works, then we can deal with you, our problem is that we cant even unlock our phones through T-mobile. i was actually willing and still am to pay an unlock fee, so if this is gonna work, we can negotiate giving you this fee instead of giving it to the T-mobile bastards. and i think i aint the only dutch with this idea.

i just sold 1 about 10 mins ago and he has said t-mobile will be ringing him back with the unlock code

it works for uk mda users

it has not been tested elewhere

so i don't know if it will work for the mda pro dutch

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] darthnix:
So I've rooted my phone, and I would like to install CyanogenMod as my ROM, as I hear it's great. I have TitaniumBackup, and I am using a youtube video called "How To Install STABLE CyanogenMod 10 Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on the Samsung Galaxy S3 / III" as a guide. He says not to backup system data, just apps you want. If I wanted to save my texts, pictures, and videos, what would I do for that? I know that Contacts are saved with your email address, as I have read. I could care less about my apps, but what option do I choose on TitaniumBackup in order to save what I said? Thanks for helping a noob out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meskes:
I personally just install then wipe data/cache and do a factory reset, then just let Google Services resynchronize my apps upon login.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Also, as far as pics go, I sync those to the cloud, or on my external sdcard. When you install CM, it doesn't touch the contents of your external card, so you should be good there. As far as sms goes, I know TiBu can do it, but I don't us it, so I wouldn't know how to go about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You don't need to backup your photos and videos BUT I will say if you have anything on your internal storage (say photos or videos) then you want to move that to your external sdcard, flash CM, then move them back to internal. JB 4.2 and 4.3 have a /0 folder and your internal storage per Samsung's Touchwiz UI gets changed when moving to AOSP for the first time. Texts can be backed up in Titanium Backup, just set the filter for "System" and "not backed up", then scroll to "Messages (sms and mms)" which should be yellow and backup that file too. Titanium Backup defaults all backups to internal storage so you may want to copy this to your external sdcard as well. Lastly, backup your IMEI. When you flash CM, if you have any issues AFTER restoring your app data and texts, start over without that restored data and you'll likely know what your culprit is. So, wipe data and format system, flash CM or CM nightly, flash gapps, boot into rom, enjoy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] darthnix:
This has been very helpful, but I just have a question or two. If I make a backup of an app like Gallery, or Messaging, will it save all the texts, photos, or anything internal like that? Also, is there a way to just move these files from my internal to external SD card, without having to connect to a computer? I'm not sure whether to move the TitaniumBackup files from my phone to PC, because it looks like it's missing a few things. Is there a built-in option I can use instead?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
No it won't save that data and those are System apps which you do not backup. Basically, only backup apps that you downloaded from the Play Store.

Yea, you can use a file browser such as Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, Holo Explorer, to name a few, to move files just like you would on a laptop. For Titanium Backup (TB.), you would move just the TB folder after you've performed a backup via TB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macmachine87:
I know this isn't exactly what you are talking about but make sure to use a backup from recovery mode. Just in case you didn't move the necessary files or forgot something you and restore your phone to it's original state. I haven't seen the video but it is the menu that comes up after you hold down the power button, home button and the volume up button.
