I think my front facing camera is broken or the file is corrupt, but every time I try to use the front facing camera, it just freezes, no messages saying there are errors! Please help me determine whether the front facing camera is broken or a file may be corrupt.

I think it happened after I tried to root it, but I rooted it incorrectly and so I think it may have been from bad rooting. BUT, I did drop my phone on concrete two days after I rooted incorrectly. During that time, I didn't try to use the front facing camera until a week after.

Thank you!

Hello all developers and Nexus Fans,

I am current uesing stock 4.4 nexus, and yesterday I received the 4.4.2 ota. However, after downloading it, the OTA installation just failed.

Hello,

Need 4.2.2 firmware i337m (Bell Canada) please

The File at Sam Mobile version 4.2.2 for Bell fails at 2% upload in Odin 3.09

The other file available there, an older 4.2.2 is corrupt once downloaded (tried 3 times).

Reason I was flashing back to 4.2.2 is because with the new Bell 4.3 firmware, network unlock codes no longer work (changed??) and neither does USB unlocking (new security feature).

The File at Sam Mobile version 4.3 for Bell works fine hence it's not my Odin setup causing the issue.

It is conceivable that the new 4.3 firmware from this provide is the cause of the Odin failure at 2% for 4.2.2 ?

Any other good reliable sources for a 4.2.2 firmware version pre ME1 ?

Thanks!

There are 2 files there for my provider (BELL), the oldest one is corrupt when downloaded, the most recent fails at 2%. Unless I could use another provider file (Telus) that uses the same network... Unlock phone with codes, the flash back to 4.3 (BELL). I'm not sure that the Unlock codes are provider dependent or just IMEI dependent.

Didnt work for me. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] etrash310:
I'm a bit of a noob, so apologies if this is in the wrong section. I've had a very difficult time finding threads that focus on those who have (stupidly!) applied the OTA 4.3 jellybean update, and what they can do to network unlock the phone. So here goes:

Samsung Galaxy SIII

SGH-T999

Android Version 4.3

Baseband Version T999UVUEMJC

Stock build. No root.

The closest step-by-step I've come across:

Remove T-Mobile SIM. Replace with ATT SIM. Reboot phone.

*#197328640# which successfully puts me into service mode.

This brings up the following menu:

MAIN MENU

[1]UMTS

[2]CDMA

[3]LTE

[4]SIM

From there its

[1]UMTS

[1] DEBUG SCREEN

[8]PHONE CONTROL

[6]NETWORK UNLOCK

[3]PERSO SHA256 OFF ...

Now, that's as far as I can get. The guide then says to go back to [6] and there should be an option, [4] NV INITIALIZZ.

This option is not there for me. (Note: at this point the PERSO SHA256 status is indeed set to SHA256_ENABLE_FLAG [0]).

Another guide suggested BACKing to the MAIN MENU and selecting option [5] run EFS SYNC() after selecting [3]PERSO SHA256 OFF.

I have done this and the screen reads: SYNC success. please reboot.

I do so, heart aflutter... only to be met with a SIM unlock PIN code entry screen.

Unlock fail.

Other threads have suggested downgrading to 4.1.1 in order for this to work and the necessary options be made available. Most of what I have read has said that attempts to downgrade from OTA 4.3 (with big brother KNOX) will result in a hard brick.

So, if you've made it this far... Has anyone figured out how to SIM unlock this particular phone running OTA 4.3 without rooting/downgrading?

If there is a more suitable thread discussing SIII's that are running 4.3 please direct me there.

Many thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You could try and flash a 4.1.1 Modem. After that, try the above process.

Note - In that process, you are required to be super patient at each step.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] etrash310:
Appreciate the response.

Yes, most of what I have come across has indicated that I would need to get 4.1.1 by hook or by crook in order to network unlock the phone, having upgraded to 4.3.

I have some experience fiddling with such things, but many posts have also indicated that, with the new KNOX package in tow, backing down from 4.3 will hard brick this device. I am hoping that, with access to Service Mode, someone will discover a way to network unlock without root/flashing.

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Are you Rooted ? If so flashing the LJC modem from Doc's thread won't brick your device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] etrash310:
The phone is not currently rooted, no. Most rooting instructions I've seen are for 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. My guess is I'm going to have to root to unlock...

Could you direct me to instructions for rooting OTA 4.3?

Again, many thanks for taking the time to help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Follow these. Effectively Flash Custom Rom using ODIN then flash SuperUser Zip.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] etrash310:
Awesome. I will try this tonight.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] etrash310:
Well, no luck. Followed all the directions I could (provided by some awesome contributors including Doc) including:

1)Rooting using the aforementioned method and installing 4.3 with SU and no KNOX. Then just flashing stock modem 4.1.1 UVDLJC, in order to reveal the [4] NV INITIALIZZ option that is not present in Servicemode on jellybean 4.3 firmware.

--- This resulted in very slowed down system with no WiFi capability and no startup or shutdown sounds. Logging into Servicemode just resulted in a blank screen that said Servicemode.

--- Ultimately had to emergency restore firmware via KIES. (Thanks to reading a post by Doc on another thread). This got me up and running again.

2) Rooting using aforementioned method. And searching for stock 4.1.1 firmware in order to downgrade...

--- This has proven to be impossible. I can not find stock 4.1.1 anywhere. All links that have turned up have either been dead hotfile.com links or corrupted .zip files.

--- Additionally, I have been informed that once you upgrade to 4.3 OTA it is IMPOSSIBLE to flash an earlier firmware using ODIN. (Is is possible using CWM perhaps?)

In the end, it appears that the jellybean 4.3 OTA update currently has the community stumped as to how to unlock the SGH-T999 for use on another network with your only option to either convince T-Mobile to give you an unlock code or ordering one online. (And I've read of too many folks getting bogus codes ordering online...)

Still having fun trying, and its very cool to see all the hard work and info that folks like Doc are compiling on here. Maybe somebody is on the way to cracking this nut!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
So after all that, what is your current Rom and Firmware ? Can you try Root66 of 4.2 Rom ? Doc has Re-Hosted with mirrors.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] etrash310:
I followed cLogic's guide that you linked to above and am running 4.3 rooted w/o Knox garbage.

Ended up getting phone network unlocked at a local hole in the wall phone shoppe. Figured it was worth a couple extra bucks to have it unlocked face to face in case code didn't work rather than fish out a reputable online source on my own.

Will be curious to compare its power usage to stock 4.3. Phone is working well, although it seems I will have to play with the APN settings as I am unable to send MMS messages... hmmm. Any advice off the top of your head?

I'd given root66 a try and also gave Doc's reposts another shot, but no dice.

So the sum of my endeavors are as follows:

1) If you want to network unlock your galaxy s3 on your own, DO NOT upgrade to jellybean 4.3 OTA until you do. It does not seem anyone has figured a way to ala ServiceMode in 4.1.1 yet.

2) If you have upgraded to 4.3 OTA you can use cLogic's guide linked to above to root your phone sans Knox.

3) If you have already upgraded to 4.3 OTA and want your phone network unlocked, you will have to pay to have it factory unlocked.

4) XDA is the bomb.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] etrash310:
UPDATE:

Looks like the MMS messages I was trying to send finally went through... it just took an inordinately long time for them to do so.. not sure why yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fffft:
Of dubious help to the OP, who had his phone commercially unlocked, but for others reading this thread or the OP's curiosity.. the 4.3 update has caused all kinds of grief. Amongst various bugs and battery drain issues, 4.3 has changed dialer codes or shuffled menus around. I can confirm the same results as the OP up to the point where he found that the initialize NV menu missing.

To progress further, I found that I needed:

An active SIM from a different carrier, with said SIM needing to be the phone throughout. This is in contrast to the previous method that worked without a SIM in the phone during the unlock procedure. I successfully unlocked a Note 2 with 4.3 using the steps in this techbeasts.com post.

And was successful with a 4.3 S4 using a slight variation (no NV initialize menu!.. back.. key input.. 1.. back). Both phones were M (Canadian) models.​

Reading between the lines of various reports in addition to first hand experience implies that there may be several different carrier specific dodges being employed here. Playing musical chairs with the missing menu items that now have different dialer codes, are now found on hidden sub menus (key input = 1) or in back up files.

The commercial unlock guys are using proprietary tools such as Samsung tool v 16.8. Which usually seem to be database based factory unlocks fetched (or calculated?) from their servers.

The phone must be running stock 4.1.1 in order to sim unlock using the free method. Once the phone is on a 4.3 or newer bootloader, sim unlocking must be done using a code specific to the phone's imei. In order to enter the unlock code, the phone must be running a stock ROM or possibly a custom ROM based on a tw kernel.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Could the unlock code be incorrect? It came from a reputable unlocker? The phone is running a completely stock rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MGreen1216:
No, I highly doubt the code is incorrect because both tmobile and the unlock code service I purchased from gave me the same code.

And I'm pretty sure that I'm running stock rom 4.3. And if not odin is not letting me flash anything to my phone. Keeps failing when I try to flash a different 4.3 baseband.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
The imei matches the imei on the label beneath the battery? Have you tried flashing the latest stock rom from sammobile.com before trying to enter the unlock code?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MGreen1216:
Yes to the imei matching. No I haven't tried to flash latest stock rom on sammobile. I went to the website and I do have the latest firmware on my phone (T999LUVUBOH1 Android 4.3)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
If you are running the latest stock ROM and you are sure the IMEI matches the unlock code, I am at a loss as to why the unlock code is not being accepted unless the phone is not running the stock Samsung dialler.

I suggest flashing the latest stock ROM before entering the unlock code as you may have a limited number of attempts before the phone becomes hard-locked to the carrier.

So I entered in "fast.metropcs.com" APN and selected it then re-inserted metropcs sim and still no service.

[Sprint LG G2] hellot1M:
I took the sprint training today for sprint spark and in the training it states that tri-band phones will have issues connecting to most current LTE networks and will receive an update sometime early 2014 to resolve the issue..

Just thought I would pass this on if some people with the Sprint G2 have noticed this issue over other LTE devices.
[Sprint LG G2] Jocelyn:
It's not really "most" and this sums everything up - http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...-due-to-circuit-switched-fallback-technology/
[Sprint LG G2] hellot1M:
Good read. Very informative. But what about the device upgrades I was told about. In the training it says the G2 will have an update early 2014 to fix this issue and allow the g2 to connect normally to all available lte networks. From what I was reading it sounds like that would not work that its up to sprint to update the old LTE towers to support csfb which is needed for triband phones.

I'm either not understanding this fully or getting conflicting reads.
[Sprint LG G2] Product F(RED):
This is really random, but I know someone who sells the towers to many carriers (including Sprint), and they told me Sprint would be switching to/releasing TDD-LTE (currently US carriers use FDD-LTE). This isn't something that the average person could tell the difference between, but it could mean a better network for Sprint in general in the future. I don't have a time frame or any more info than what I've mentioned; just that it's coming.
[Sprint LG G2] Jocelyn:
I'm by no means an expert, but I'm fairly sure that the 2014 update you're referring to will enable all three bands (25, 26 , & 41) on everyone's handset and has little to nothing to do with CSFB. That said, you can already activate all three bands via ##DATA# provided you have your MSL,and getting your MSL is very easy with this device.

Edit - Some people in Spark areas have already managed to connect to bands 26 & 41 with their G2 using the above method.
