[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FallenZen:
Okay, so this is very strange and I can't decide yet if I want to poke around further so I'd like some input. I received the OTA update to 4.3 nearly 2 weeks ago and it made a HUGE mess of things. Took me a week's worth of tinkering and researching to figure out how to fix it. After numerous failed attempts to re-root and reflash using old and new techniques (and nearly bricking myself when I discovered that sweet little gem known as KNOX), I finally managed to get everything sorted thanks predominately to this incredibly helpful post by CNexus:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541900

Anyhow, I've got everything up and going, no pesky KNOX apps that I don't want or need, and things are finally starting to look up.

Now, the strange part. When I enter Download Mode I see the following:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L710

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (5 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Warranty Bit: 1

BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 1

What I do NOT see is "KNOX Warranty Bit." So I'm having some trouble verifying which bootloader I've got. I know I SHOULD have the KNOX bootloader since I accepted the Official OTA Update (stupid, but I didn't know any better at the time)... But since the moment my phone was restored to functioning status, I have been able to find no mention of KNOX whatsoever... But I'm also not sure where else to look for verification.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Is there any way to find out, for certain, exactly what bootloader version I've got?

Oh, and it should be noted that my phone is the Sprint SPH-L710 (Build: L710VPUCMK3), but that my device is flashed to VZW's prepaid network with a Gusto donor. I don't know if that may have impacted bootloader installation or not but figured I'd mention it just in case.

Thanks,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
They just named it differently on our device

The "Warranty Bit" thing is bootloader knox, not present on MD4 bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FallenZen:
Thanks for the clarification, CNexus. Seems like they're doing everything they can to be as sneaky as possible here. Oh well, at least if I make a complete recovery file now there's no risk of anything changing when I try to load it since I've already tripped the eFuse.

I'm currently putting together a guide that's easy to figure out/use for ALL the questions regarding this on my site which I'll add to my blog for everyone that's looking for info regarding the same.

One easy way to figure out the KNOX Warranty info is as follows:

Go to "Google Play Store" and download this app:

Phone INFO *Samsung*

Written specifically for SAMSUNG phones

Version 1.4.6

Copyright 2014 vndnguyen

Nobody online has suggested this till NOW. That will show you the KNOX WARRANTY 0x0 or 0x1

Warranty bit=1 [Means you've voided your warranty via eFuse] 0 = Still valid FULL warranty

Bootloader RP SWREV = 1 [This is what tells your OS to begin which is different then the firmware, this varies, nobody has been able to give a clear explanation, but from what I gather based of PC's, That should stand for : Reserved Partition SoftWare Revision 1]

You're is still untouched due to the fact nothing has been overwritten. Mine is the same so you are safe regarding the bootloader. They have many versions checking online, and that wouldn't be altered by "Rooting". Only flashing/changing the ROM used as your OS should alter that. [I'm not sure on that part as I haven't changed my Stock T-Mobile ROM]

Hope that information above has helped you and anyone else looking. I had to hunt/figure out all this myself.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danstuart:
I'm trying to update to the nightlies for CM11 on my xt926. I receive an error when I try to flash it, and tracking that error down, it says that my recovery isn't up to date. I tried flashing the most recent version of clockwork recovery touchthrough the ROM Manager app, but it won't take. When I go back into the app, it says I'm using 6.0.4.4, but when I reboot to recovery, it says I'm using v 6.0.2.8.

Any idea what I can do to overwrite it? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

EDIT: NVM, in the grand tradition of tech support, as soon as I mention the problem to someone who can help, I find the solution myself. Worked when I flashed recovery via ADB.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainlovesac:
Oh man. I was having the same problems as you, I even tried with ADB. But i was a bit rusty and totally named my file "recovery.img.img".

Thanks for posting, it made me double check and find the problem.

I have found an easy way to update the recovery images. I just download the image I want then use a app called flashify you can find it on the play store.

Just flash with this app. I hope this helps someone who is having problems

Cool thing about this method. It's all done thru your phone.

Hi, I'm with Sense 5 and 4.2.2. I flashed the Germany T-Mobile ROM, I already removed all the crappy apps but I tried to "activate" original boot up/ shutdown but apparently I'm doing something wrong. I went to system/customize/resources and there I finded logically 4 files (two audio files for boot up/ shutdown and two zip files with boot up/ shutdown animations) and also there was the original HTC boot up/ shutdown, so I 'deleted' the t-mobile files and replaced the names from the original HTC files with the t-mobile names. But it doesn't show up or can't either hear the sound. I created the HTC shutdown audio because it does'nt use audio in shutdown, so it's a blank MP3. I attach the files. Hope you can help me! THanks ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I can't remember how to do that, sorry.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Try naming your "new" files with the same name as the "original" ones. I'm not sure how the carrier customization handles these files. But I'm just guessing it might still be looking for the specific file names.

I do know this for fact (as it worked for me): You don't need to put a blank MP3 there to remove the boot/shutdown sounds. Simply removing the original files (I put ".bak" at the end of the file name) will kill the sounds.

Also, for whatever root explorer you are using, be sure you mount the directory as R/W when writing or changing files.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] philohtc:
I already tried renaming the new files, but as I said it won't recognize them making the boot go black

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameron.laird:
I have a Xperia SP model C5306 on Fido in Canada that I cannot for the life of me get into fastboot mode. The phone is carrier unlocked (by unlockthatphone) and I've verified it on another carrier. I have also rooted the phone with the doomlord exploit successfully.

When I hold the volume up button and plug the device into my Win 7 Pro 64 bit PC the LED goes red for a second then orange once the battery charging icon appears.

The phone seems to have no problem getting into flash mode but fastboot is a no-go.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4529355:
To get into fastboot you need an UNLOCKED bootloader, it is not the same thing as a SIM unlocked phone.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameron.laird:
Based on all of the instructions I've read fastboot is required in order TO UNLOCK the bootloader, including those from Sony. If you can't fastboot until the bootloader is unlocked how do you unlock the bootloader?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XplayerLP:
Have you a SIMLOCK? Have you became that phone from your provider?? it can be that the provider disabl the fastboot that you not can disabl the Simlock
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameron.laird:
I bought the phone from a provider but I have carrier unlocked the device through an unlock code that I bought from Unlockthatphone.com

Is that different from a Simlock?

Have you installed the drivers yet?

This phone is quite funny, it restarts after a few seconds of inactivity in Fastboot/Flash mode

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameron.laird:
I have the drivers on my PC, I downloaded the ones from Sony and replaced them in the SDK folder. I haven't got to the point where my computer asks me to install the drivers. I'll try this.

So when I hold down the volume up button and connect my phone to the PC via USB I see a green LED (fully charged) on the device and my device manager tells me that there is a Sony Ericsson seehcri Control Device connected. If I navigate to the Driver information of that device the driver is pointing at the Windows System 32\drivers\seehcri.sys driver.

When I try to update that driver to the Fastboot driver it says there are no 64-bit compatible drivers in that folder. Are there 64-bit drivers for fastboot?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
Okay, Sony's fastboot drivers are not signed, so to install the drivers, you need to disable driver signature enforcement in Windows first.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayP11:
Try this method. :)

Install Drivers

Fastboot Mode - Blue Light - Turn phone off>Press and Hold Volume UP button while plugging in USB Cable> Release the button (from being held) after the blue light.

Flash Mode - Green Light - Turn phone off> Press and Hold Volume DOWN button while plugging in USB Cable> Release the button (from being held) after the green light.

Common problem is it doesn't stay too long on specific mode

You will need drivers try downloading Xperia Z driver here - http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-driver/

(Optional in case you can't Install the driver correctly)

Install Driver first

1.Extract the downloaded file. (If it is in Zip file) in a place where you can easily locate it.

2.Connect your phone (turned on) to your computer

3. Assuming that you have My Computer Icon on your desktop.. Right Click it > Manage> Device Manager (Located at the left tab) > Android Phone> android ADB interface > Right click> Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for the driver software and locate where you put the XZ driver.

4.Done!.

It worked for me, hope it will work for you, too. :)

Guys, you can correct me if I am wrong..
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameron.laird:
My major problem is that i never get a blue light when I hold down the volume up and plug it in. My computer makes that sound like a uSB device had been unplugged in a couple seconds.

Also, I download the drivers, and with the device powered on, plug it into the PC. What I see in the Device manager is Sony sa0108 ADB Interface Driver. If I disable adb on the device I get nothing in the device manager.

Flashtool will not allow me to do the adb fastboot reboot either.

This is extremely frustrating!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonMilo:
Won't boot correctly because of bad use of rooting. When I turn on, after appears the "SAMSUNG" screen, instead of the normal screen it appears an empty window with the option of "force closing", and a blank background. And then it restarts each time doing the same unless I remove the battery. This happens because I wanted install a new font and it was too big (22MB) for the very little space of my phone (had less than that amount free, and well, even having "from factory" settings, I'd leave almost no free space).

I can upload a video if you want, but I think I explained well what my phone does.

Maybe it's ruined already, but if it's still possible to fix, please tell me and I'd be VERY thankful. I don't have much money for a new smartphone...

UPDATE:

I JUST FIX MY PHONE!! No need to help me. I followed this --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320187 and it fixed my phone! It even helped me fixing with the internal memory issue that this phone has, so it really helped me! =D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] zee24:
Hey guys okay, so i think i have learned something about our s4 that you guys might not know. can someone confirm? Okay i have tried multiple roms like slimbean and slimkat and cyanogenmod and a bunch of other GE roms and this is what i realized. I was for sure getting better battery life on my stock rom by FAR i was getting atleast 3 hours of screen on time on the stock rom but all the GE roms i get around 2 hours AND THATS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. I really honestly love GE roms they are personally a lot nicer looking and i would like to keep it but the battery life sucks so i dont know if anyone else is experiencing this but if you guys are let me know so im not alone. Maybe its my battery who knows but the phone is only a few months old 2-3 i believe so idk if my battery is disintegrated. My current battery is 12hrs 14min, that sounds impressive right? No the screen on time is 1hr and 50mins and i have 20% left thats more than i usually get its usually dead by now and this is cynagenmod btw the stable version.

I recently went longboarding and i got a little sweaty. My phone was a little moist from my sweat. It was fine that night but when i woke up the next day my screen would turn black but the Capacitive buttons remained lit.I thought it was a problem with my rom so i changed it but i learned it was a physical problem. I recently learned that my screen will come on if hit a certain way in the back but it will go off randomly after. This has never happened before. My phone has gotten wet from rain and sweat before so im not sure what the problem is. Attached is a picture of the screen black with the buttons lit. The screen also flickers sometimes when it is on. Im not sure if i will need new digitizer.

My questions are how do I know if my s4 has water damage

what is samsung's warranty on problems like this?

Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Any suggestions?

I think the sweat thing is a coincidence. Most likely you have something wrong with the LCD or whatever hardware is there to control it.Warranty is probably your only option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] samappz:
Make sure the screen protector is not causing it, such that some water has gotten trapped under it and is causing constant contact or some other issue.

It's gotten wet by rain and sweat before.? I think your phone is done. and if you don't have insurance you're screwed.

There are water sensors behind the battery that turn pink when wet. that's one way to tell. Samsung doesn't cover water damage if that's the cause.
