[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lip008:
I dropped my GS3 and something broke. I have a black blob and a few lines with a nonresponsive touch screen. I called the Sprint store and they may let me pay for a refurb which I'm alright with. I want to reset the flash counter if it's needed and put the factory image back on using odin? The following links look like it's all I'll need but my question is can I reset this flash counter without the touch screen functionality? Is there something more up to date?

Nevermind....I found some other tutorials that look like they'll get me there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lip008:
It looks like that flash counter needs to be installed through the UI. Unless there is another way to reset this counter can a USB mouse/keyboard be used with an adapter to allow me to move around on the device? I think I'm screwed....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dfoster78:
:( I have a stock rooted Sprint HTC One with ClockworksMod Recovery. this week when the 3.05.651.5 firmware update came out, it did not do the updated because it say i was missing the /system/build.prop. Has anyone had this issue and what was done to solve the problem? I had an early nanodroid backup that i restored to, but it seem to be missing from that also. Any thoughts or idea how to proceed? Is there a Stock RUU that i could to restore the build.prop?

Thanks for the help, in advance.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] steal25:
Just adb push the correct build.prop to /system and you should be fine. Next time this should be in the Q&A section.

Really sorry if this has been asked many of times but i really need some info.

I have a GooPhone s4 GT-I9500 with the following:

1.2GHz Quad Core CPU MTK6589

The phone seems to be buggy (camera freeze problem, Menu is a bit buggy but not all the time)

I got told i could flash it with a new rom to see if it sorts the problems out.

I have never flashed a rom before to android phone and not sure what rom i can use on it.

So can anyone please show me a rom i can use and link me to a tut on how to install the rom.

I'm a very quick learner and pick stuff up quick so any help would be cool

Many Thanks

2. I can't find how to replase some of the default icons on the dock bar by my prefered apps (like Go. Launcher style, wjre it let you edit any app, for example in Go Launcher I can place the +Contacts app and replace its original icon with the stock icon of the theme being used)

3. How can I eliminate widgets and add eliminate screens? Almost all themes have a news widget whixh i dont want.. What can I do?

as far as i can tell besides google drive and a few extra apps and removing root, wasn't much.. speaking of root, i was P'O'd and just flashed to v10b on the hunt for the almighty bootloader unlock.. on v20b now, irrelevant.. has anyone tried rooting after a factory reset? i've seen mixed posts of having root once updated.. i used cydia impactor to root on v10d.. after update root was gone, tried running it again but it kicked up errors.. su could not be found.. i'm waiting another 30 minutes before reverting to stock for the time being.. i'm willing to test it if no one else has but it won't be for a few days.. honestly tired of messin with it for now..

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Zhono:
Okay, so I finally got the update today. I was on the stock v10d, and rooted. I opened Titanium and unfroze all of the junk I had disabled. Then I told it to go ahead and apply the update. It rebooted and started to update, and I got the fallen down android with exclamation point. Hold power and restart. Boots back into my v10d, except now I somehow have the inverted touch screen again. What? I mean, I know can fix the touch screen easy enough, but what gives? Don't know why the update fails, and I especially don't know why I get the inverted touch. Any insight here?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
I think you still have the euro recovery installed, that's why you got the wonky screen. The boot or recovery images will cause the funk.

The update will fail because you have the 2nd init cwm or because you have made changes to the system apk file.

I have a cwm backup of 10e plus the radio files. I know the 10e is in my thread themed lgms769 ROM.

I'm not to sure where I uploaded the 10e radio. Lol I just remembered it's in my themed ROM thread as well. It's not in the first post, look around the end of the thread for the files.

A guess you are rooted so OTA as per the faqs and guides has failed .

Use Kies or flash a rom via Odin .

A guess as the OP is lacking information .

The question about the firmware was not the version I could read that it was what country or carrier specific type UK, (BTU), O2, Vodafone or whatever.

You really need to calm down otherwise you wont get help people will ignore you and the mods will be the one that close your threads and ban you, are you this aggressive towards people you work with.

The less detail you give the less we can get help, so we ask the questions to try and find out exactly what you are wanting to do, just updating 4.1.2 to 4.3 isn't enough on an international forum.

Hi

This has just happened to me today as well. My phone kept getting the you need to wait your turn message and then it finally downloaded today but upon install it got to 27 percent and rebooted back up.

It how says it is the latest version.

I'm also in the UK on Three however my phone is rooted but I did run triangle away to reset the counter and disable supersu first.

It is running stock firmware - JZO54K.I9300XXEMG4

I guess ill install using Kies later. I hope it can install with losing anything? Ill read up later - just driven back from Scotland back to Midlands so a little tired atm

Hi Yellow Yogult

You can get OTA when rooted you just need to ensure your counter is reset and also the status is set back as normal using triangleaway as it describes.

I believe the other guy said earlier that it was his wifes s3 but he has an s4 (or was it the other way round?).

I'm just going to follow the advise to use Kies instead though after a little reading up.

Just as an update....

Following the advise given previously, I have used Kies instead of the OTA and the update has worked perfectly with no issues.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Well. If u are rooted, u can nvr be Official in device status as the phone checks if u are rooted every time u restart. So even if u use triangle away, when u reboot. U are still rooted. So the device status will STILL be MODIFIED. I did it :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilb:
Not quite true. triangle away has the ability for this reason to reboot and fix the status from modified into normal.

I've just looked up a guide to basically how I did it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilb:
Yeah, as I said previously it worked fine. Downloaded the 4.3 update through OTA however upon install stopped at 27 percent and just rebooted back.

I guess it would just be more sensible just use Kies anyway as it was very easy.

[Sprint LG G2] kiorix:
After hours of reading i decide to post im really stresfull with this situation. i bought a phone trough ebay i live in dominican republic but when i insert the SIM CARD say " NO SIM CARD" like if i had not put anything. i saw in the post that sprint has somehting modified to dont let no one activate the phone until we call them. i was trying to call them but there are asking me for a phone number and the phone doesnt have any phone number like the CDMA always do.

PLEASE!! there is any way to remove that security and unlock the phone without call sprint ?

if there is any how can i do that because i dont want to lose the money that i paid and im very needing this phone.

i tried lot of thing like the ##3282 and enable the LTE , BAND 26 AND 41 also i have my msl code but nothings appears to work.

Do i need to sell the phone for parts or i will need to wait till someone resolve this problem bz as i think is a software solution ....

Need unlock code from Sprint for international use... they unlock over network. Still, shouldn't say no SIM card, try another.
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
I've tried 3, all of them say no sim card.
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:
Bottom line you shouldn't have bought the Sprint model. Sprint sends out the unlock code/unlocks the phone over their network and you being in the D.R, you're out of luck.
[Sprint LG G2] Hathoid:
It's not as complex as you are making it out to be, don't crush people's hope if you don't have facts behind it. Yes it wasn't a good idea to get the sprint one, but the deed is already done. Both the S4 and the HTC ONE were unlocked without sprint sometime after their release, I believe it will be the same case for the G2.
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:
...and you have the "facts" that the G2 will be unlocked or you just want to "believe"? This belief of yours is based on what facts exactly? The HTC One and S4 are/were much more massively popular devices and attract much more attention. You are chastising me for being a realist yet all you're giving the O.P is your belief, just that.

I'm not crushing anyone's hope (where in blazes did you even get that from :confused: ). Why suffer through the wait for an unlock when the choice is there for O.P to get rid of it for as much as he/she can still get for it and get the GSM version.
[Sprint LG G2] ingequinpi:
I also bought a ls980 in ebay, but still is locked.

I'm in India and am getting a great deal on a Sprint LG G2. Only thing is that i have yet to find an unlock for it. Do the codes given by the unlock sites work? Or does anyone have any sort of idea/clue?

I just got the tmobile model I paid 100 bucks more than the sprint model on craigslist. I dont have sprint service and they told me that i have to have a 2 year contract with them. That they wont do prepaid plans to this phone.. Ridiculous but that's how they work. As Sprint i dont think they will unlock your phone since you didn't bought it from them.
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:
Sprint's international phones get unlocked OTA (Over The Air) while registered on the network, meaning the unlock codes/mechanism are sent to the phone from Sprint itself. Unlocker websites will not work.

Other alternative is to wait for someone to develop an unlock solution like they did for the Sprint HTC One and Galaxy S4.

...or get a proper GSM LG G2 variant.

easy fix for no sim card sign or not recognized.
