Hi my friends Bell S3 crashed yesterday and I when it is going into recovery this is what it is displaying (see attached image) I think I need a the pit file to reflash, I tried just the md5 file but it errors out

Did you try flashing a stock ROM from sammobile? You have the latest drivers installed and Odin 3.07?

I use Odin 3.07 on my i747m to flash back to stock Bell ROM all the time and haven't run into your problem.

Are you selecting only F.Reset Time?

Yes. That's exactly what I tried to do and have done it successfully in the past without any issue.

I would download your md5 file again from sammobile sounds and looks like a bad file to me also make sure u have a good USB cable many times that can be a problem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
I appreciate the replies but the file is good as i used it before, so is the cable as I use it all the time.

Something bad has happened with my phone as it's now it's actually hard bricked (won't power on or go into download mode. indicator light is red when plugged in w/o battery) and it might be the result of internal memory failure.

I'm trying the debrick process now as a lost option for me. If that doesn't work I may tried to get it jtagged.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jimchee:
When mine did that I was able to recover with sdcard method but it took me many many tries to get it to write correctly. If that doesn't work then JTAG is next option
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
I just finished my 3rd try to get the debrick img to write. Very frustrating as it take an hour to write and say successful in the end.

But the contents on the card so change or get overridden. I'm going to try on a different computer tonight. I'm determined to get the card written with the img and if that doesn't work then it's jtag.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jimchee:
You just have to keep trying, it took me hundreds of tries to get it to finally write it correctly, when I finally got it correct I couldn't read it on my computer, before that it was showing as a series of folders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
I got the Debrick image written and my phone boots from it into download mode. Unfortunately I still cannot write the stock image. It fails to write because of the missing PIT file. So I am at a loss.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonkiomi:
Hello all,

I'm quite aware that sim-unlocking questions are generally frowned upon, however the phone is not under any sort of contract or commitment, and I do live in Canada, so hopefully that should cover the legality of this inquiry.

The issue I'm having is that I won an Xperia Z1 at a Telus press event (hosted for mobile resellers locally). However I am a Rogers customer, and do not wish to switch providers to switch phones. After calling in Telus and requesting an unlock code (traditionally $35), I was told that the phone is not eligible to be unlocked by Telus, since their unlocking policy doesn't include "Prize" phones, or promotional phones of any sort. Apparently it is blacklisted in their unlock code database and there is no unlock code to be purchased from them as a result.

I've attempted two different online unlock code sites, the first of which immediately issued me a refund saying they couldn't locate an unlock code. The other has said they couldn't find the code and are now looking under an international Database but it would take a few days to *possibly* locate the unlock code.

My question to the experts is: Can this phone be unlocked? If there is no code via Telus does that mean that there is no other code elsewhere online that can be generated? Is there other solutions (via rooting, online, elsewhere), or do I have to sell this phone and buy an unlocked one.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you

[Moto X Q&A] GreenMunky:
So this morning I open Hangouts and see that in the middle of the night my phone sent a text message to 2635. The text message body was:

/T:20fa2a57-f8b2-41c8-93d7-15c2b1fa2327/ /R:5294462c0cf29206e34cd1ac/

[Moto X Q&A] strictlyphat:
My phone did the same thing. I'm pretty sure its for the NFL mobile app. I'm also on Verizon. Its done that in the past to verify your service
[Moto X Q&A] GreenMunky:
That makes a lot of sense. I opened the NFL Mobile app last night for the first time, then it tried to verify something that I didn't want to wait for so I closed the app and then disabled it. Thank you very much, I was kinda freaked out that my phone had some kind of malware that was sending encrypted info without my knowledge. I guess it was just crappy bloat-ware instead.
[Moto X Q&A] charlie-n:
Hangouts shows sms messages that are supposed to be hidden, it intercepts them as they go out, you are not charged extra for them, it goes as far as intercepting voicemail commands on my sprint version so I had to switch back to stock sms app until they fix it.
[Moto X Q&A] Rocky1988:
Confirming this. Very odd. The NFL app should have warned that it was sending a txt but it didn't. Bit scary...
[Moto X Q&A] AIGHT:
Verizon / NFL Mobile

Yes, it is from Verizon verifying that you are eligible to watch free, live, NFL games that are broadcast in your region and all national prime time games using the NFL Mobile app. Today CBS changed our game from Houston @ Minnesota to Pittsburgh @ Miami so I tried to watch Houston @ Minnesota on my phone and it worked fine.

THANKS for your clear and timely response. I was about to hard reset my phone because I thought it had been compromised!
[Moto X Q&A] Nownd:
That freaked me out thanks for putting my mind at ease guys. That's certainly what did it. Super Bowl while in line for dinner. Any good suggestions for identifying applications or possibly root kits etc. And the connections these types of apps tend to use, I intend of contributing to the boards more again. I used to everyday for mobile hardware and Web app development generals. But Im curious if there are apps by which they execute tasks like in this manner which I know this particular one isn't but I don't know the best path for figuring that kind of detection and more advanced feedback results and whos signature database wont be easily corruptible, maybe something more productive and professional but real scan and firewall features would be nice however I think thats why some socks and vpns services exist. I use a couple things. I can't help thinking I'm an idiot for wanting to know what and who want what from my android Mac or Windows device. Instead I could be allowing perms access to apps advertising to stop it but make you vulnerable to the point of someone walking on in and helping themself. I want control over my life my tools and devices, but would settle for doing my best to avoid it from someone else. This is one of a couple weird events. Subtle (what I think are attempts to install $.... yet stood out tremendously at the time. Sorry for etiquette I'm conjuction with topic question a small add on to it and thoughts of others encountering nfl live, any info or comments welcome don't beat me too hard, it's been a working progressive thing for the last year I noticed all these horrible warning signs of the end of true privacy as we know it, since it resonated my interest has grown but maybe my interest has drawn attention like vpns and etc. Idk what to do at this point. Take me back to 1996 and a Circle K with a few dimes and a pay phone if I need you on the phone right now, bad wish for a developer. :]

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ChinoSupreme23:
Ok so i bought a Galaxy S3 For tmobile, i installed the 4.3 update ota. then i tryed rooting phone it all whent through Green Pass On Odin but Knox kept blocking SuperSu so i wasnt able to grant root permisions to any app. i then installed CWM Recovery and tryed to flash a custom rom it gave me a status 7 error so i did some research and i read on a thread that i had to update the bootloader. once i flashed the bootloader the phone just shut down and never came back on. I believe its hardbricked cant get into recovery or download mode, just a black screen and red led comes on when connected to charger with no battery And it connects to my pc as QHSUSB_DLOAD. If anybody has any idea what i can do to get my phone running again Please let me know asap

Are you using the 4.3 debrick.img?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ChinoSupreme23:
Yes I am
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I hope I hope I hope yours isn't the same as mine!

Try redoing everything, but this time without formatting. Rewrite the image over the one already there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ChinoSupreme23:
Retry over and over on both Windows and Linux I'm about to give up :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Daoiod:
I went through the exact same problem here.

When you set up the SD card, in Windows, make sure to use win32diskimager.

Next, I would advise that you take out the battery, put the SD card in, and then put the battery in.

At that point, the phone should boot by itself within 15 - 30 seconds. If not, try getting it into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power for about 15 seconds).

If it doesn't boot, rewrite the debrick image and keep trying.

I also found this to be a huge help. Just make sure to use the T999 4.3 debrick image.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaronRH:
Day Dream is a really neat idea but, considering the Note 3's Super AMOLED screen, I question how safe it is when it comes to burn in. On the flip side though, the Quick Glance feature Samsung added is extremely convenient and solves the burn-in problem by only keeping the screen on for a few seconds.

So, my request is this: Is there any way to combine the two?

Ex 1: Mod the Quick Glance feature use the current DayDream.

Ex 2: Make a Day Dream container that lets you use any Day Dream but only as triggered by the proximity sensor.

This way, I could use a DayDream that I like without worrying about screen burn! Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taranfx:
Often your Media scanner can misbehave and eat lot of CPU, Battery un-wantedly.

I had been digging out how to fix it, and here are my solutions. Perhaps try al of them, it would definitely relieve your cpu and battery usage by large. Solution works on any Android version:

Solution 1. Clear media storage data

Settings > applications > Media Storage > clear data, force stop and reboot.

Solution 2. Remove unwanted media files

Navigate to /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails and delete all files. Repeat for external sd card.

On AOSP roms, Android gallery creates too many of thumbnails that later becomes problematic for media scanner.

Solution 3. Analyze and delete excessive media files

Find out what files are causing media scanner to go mad.

Use any sdcard analyst (I use ES file manager > menu > Sd card analyst) to determine which directory has lots of files/subdirectories inside it. Any directory having >1000 files/folders is an alarmingly high number. Get rid of them (if you can).

Solution 4. Probe and delete bad/damaged media

If you're sure you've tried above solutions and still encountering battery drain, its time to dig deeper with developer tools.

Pre-requisite: You must be rooted, and have android developer tools (adb) setup.

With ADB tools installed, enter shell and acquire su permissions

adb shell
su

Then run top (linux task manager) to see which process is eating cpu. You can filter top results

top -grep media

this would give you a result like

%age cpu shows media server is eating cpu and needs to be fixed. Run the following command to determine which file is it currently reading

lsof | grep media_rw

If the media service is stuck at a directory/file for a long time, you know it's a damaged media file, you should get rid of it.

Once you get rid of such files, Its guaranteed media server would finish scanning soon enough.

Solution 5: Format SD cards

If nothing works (or you're too lazy of trying solution 4): Take backup and format Internal, external sd card and copy only selective files/folders that you need. Problems would go away for sure.

Solution 6: Disable Media scanner

If your Droid is against you and it just won't tame, its time to disable the media scanner. You can do this from adb shell

pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver

All Solutions with full detail: Fix Android Media server scanner SDcard CPU, Battery drain

Have fun, Droid is your friend :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ds4:
Guys -

my problem is that i'm using another app to dump pictures to the DCIM folder. Therefore Android doesn't pickup new items in the DCIM folder.

I need to run "dev tools > media provider > scan sd card" to fresh. Then i'm able to see everything in gallery etc...

Is there a way to force this media scan to happen every 1hr? ie in the build.prop or something? I do have root access..

thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimAnd:
It seems I have a different problem with this Media.

While trying to pinpoint directory/file, after I run "lsof | grep media" I see a few messages with "opendir" or "readlink" and "permission denied" that refer to /proc.

I use CM 11 with Xprivacy module and I'm not sure whether some wrong permission caused it.

BTW: In the beginning (of the problem), there was BetterBatteryStats (to know that it's Media scanner that easts a lot of CPU)..
