[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheCashews:
Hi, I recently purchased a S3 from an eBay seller, and I discovered after going to the T-Mobile store that my phone is disabled from using its mobile data because the previous seller did not finish paying off the phone. The only options they gave me were to either buy a new phone or work it out with the seller. I was wondering if there was any workaround to this; I am unable to call, text, or use any data on mobile, but am able to do all that on Wi-Fi.

Thanks, any help is appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Blacklisted phones are just that. No better than a Mp3 player with Wi-Fi.

Sorry not able to help. You have been scammed. There really isn't much that can be done.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ispot:
You can unlock the phone and use it with any other carrier, or buy a t-mobile go for $70/MONTH WITH UNLIMITED EVERYTHING, i THINK IT SHOULD WORK.

Hi :)

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, flashtool version 0.6.9.1

Here is my device info before the tragedy D:

ROM : Gin2JB (i forget the version)

Kernel : Lupus kernel (again forget the version)

I don't know what happen but my phone won't turned on D: when i press the power button it's vibrating, it even can go to the flashmode and fastboot mode, but it just wont show anything on screen D: is it my screen or what?

i already try to turn it on and wait for a while, so the phone can load and I try to call my own number but i can't, it's not connected D:

i think it's a little strange because it's happening when i'm reading a Visual Novel via VNDS, then i decided to take a break, and put the screen off by pressing the power button, then i try to turn it on again, usually when i try to turn on the screen again, it's lagging a little and the screen turned on normally , but the this time only the sound playing and *pop* the phone turned off completely! and then i try to turn on the phone but it won't D: i pull out the battery and turn it on again, and still it won't turned on D:

I even try to flash a .ftf file R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic.ftf (Here is the MD5 in case i flash a broken .ftf MD5 : 317FCA41566A2FE8331B670087DB015F)

after flashing i try to turn it on again but no luck D:

And if i try to pull out the battery and turn it on like normal and wait for a while (So if it's really the screen problem maybe it's load up to normal state) then try to plug it to the computer (Note : The memory card is not detected), the flashtool log show like this :

INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

INFO - Device disconnected <--- I'm not unpluging my phone but it's disconnected automatically! and windows keep installing a new driver for MTP USB Device! right after the install for new driver fail, the "Device disconnected" message show up then it's connected automatically again and then it's doing same thing again and again D:

So any suggestion or idea what happen to my phone? D: is it really the screen? or the software? or anything else maybe??? if you need more info regarding my problem i'll be happy to tell you :)

sorry if my English is baaad :silly: not my mother tongue~~~
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Ok, as i understand it, you used to have gin2JB rom with Lupus kernel when you got black screen, then you flashed stock firmware.

Stock firmware don't have usb debbuging enabled by default and that is why you are getting "Device connected with USB debugging off"

You could try to update flashtool to see will that solve device disconnection problem.

Also, try different usb cable and even different usb port at motherboard (including back ports)

PC companion should work even with USB debugging disabled. If he recognize devise normaly, it is most likely hardware error. And maybe it's even flex slider cable fault (because it's weakest part of xPlay)

You try to open and close gamepad (and even some middle positions, when it's not even open or closed) when powering on. If you see screen working even for few seconds, then it's most likely damaged flex.

Ofcourse, maybe screen is dead, but chanse for that is lower (but not impossible)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harunakaze:
Hi :)

Thanks for the reply, now i'm positive it's an hardware failure D: because i try to flash LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full.img, and turn it on, and wait for a while, and *boom* pc companion detect my phone, well i don't know i should be happy or not D: (i'm still hoping it's a software failure though :p)

well i think the screen is dead, i try the "middle position" method but it wont work D:

well now any suggestion how to fix it? :p

I have another question though :p how can i use my android as modem (tethering) without configuring anything via phone (because it's half dead now), any info would be nice :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
As for flex cable, check out this thread from CriGiu about similar problem (to lazy to type it again :p ). It is not hard but you need special screwdriver

As for tethering, things can be little tricky. You need only to select tethering options in menu :p I know, with black screen it can be tricky :p

There is a way to see what is in phone but it is also... tricky :D

There is program for PC that can show what is on screen of phone, but it needs usb debugging enabled. Stock firmware don't have it enabled but most of custom roms have it. You "only" need to flash custom rom

Without working screen, it can be hard to install custom rom from recovery, but not impossible. I have an idea, you can try it if you want:

-download file in attachment and unpack it in some folder in PC

-download some recent GB or ICS custom rom frox XDA (for Play, ofcorse)

-make folder named "A1" on sdcard and place your rom into that folder (i guess you still can do that, most probably with pc companion if sd card is not mounted already)

-flash lupus ics/gb v7 kernel (skip if it's already flashed)

-power on phone in fastboot mode (or stay in it if you just flashed kernel)

-from unpacked folder double-click on file named "start.bat". It will erase all system and data on phone (but not sd card)

-disconnect and power on phone

-now, since it's lupus kernel, and since system is erased, it will boot directly to cwm recovery

-wait about 30sec or minute to make sure it is in recovery (since you can't see anything, we are guessing here)

-press menu button once (that should select "install zip" from recovery menu)

-press home button 4 (four) times (or maybe 5 or 6 , just in case :p ). Luckily, it will flash rom from first folder in sdcard (and that's why name "A1" for folder - use capital letter, it does matter)

-wait 5 minutes for rom to be flashed (just in case) and reboot (battery off/on)

-wait 10minutes rom to boot (maybe less, depends on rom)

-from attachment folder start file named "droidAtScreen-1.0.1.cmd" on pc (i do hope you have java installed on pc)

-if all goess well, you should see on PC screenshots of phone

-use dpad buttons to navigate to tethering options (and make sure to disable lockscreen - in case touchscreen is not working). If your touchscreen is working, it's flex cable 99% faulty :fingers-crossed:

If it doesn't work, you can flash stock firmware back so you can use pc companion

As i said, tricky, but not impossible :laugh:

Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Hi,

My phone is samsung galaxy note 2 N7100

I bricked my phone when rooting with odin. And now I can only enter the download model, any other is not available. I am not really sure how bad this situation is and I would like to try this method firs (thttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2154890). However, I cannot download the recovery package/rom required by that method, link provided has gone.

So if anyone know where I can find this recovery package/rom (a zip including different file like PIT, CSC, MODEM, BOOTLOADER, CODE... ) for my N7100?

Or is there other ways to get my phone back?

I am really desperate now and any thoughts will be appreciated!

Did you flash 4.1.2 ? or greater? Try Samsung galaxy note 2 kit.. If you are able to enter the download mode, thats good.. you can flash using Odin or Heimdall. There are many rooted roms that will get you through. Dr Ketans has solutions. Try loading a stock rom from SAmmobile

Let me search for few links and post it from XDA devs
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikku1983:
I actually have several roms in hand and I tried

1	Pre-Rooted Stock ROMs	Samsung	Latest Sammy	NA	dr.ketan

2 N7100 Odin STOCK leaked 4.3 version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2466405)

Neither can get me through, seconds after start of flashing, it fails.

So I worry a little about my situation...

But I will keep trying and thank you!

But it's genuine lg 5v 1.2A so should work ok

Theres a thread here where i ordered 2 Blackberry chargers. They came out to a total of 5 dollars with shipping through ebay and it was 3 day shipping. They output 1.8Amps and the actual charge I get is around 1400Mah and after 80% it starts going from 1000Mah and down. I ordered 4 more cause 2.50 for each one of these is awesome!! The build quality is great and they're about 8 feet long too.

If you grab a charger from the Galaxy S4, it would charge even faster.

Another reason for wanting another OEM charger is that if you have the Google "bumper" case the cutout for the charger is soooooooo very small that only the OEM cable will fit, as far as i can find. I am not pleased about that. I do not get why LG or Google are not selling the cable and/or charger.

I'm about to try towelroot...

I've got a stock s3 sph l710, nd8, android 4.4.2.

I have read many threads on rooting without a computer.

I am down to either towelroot, or possibly poot/ministro.

Not sure about poot.

Anyway, I will try towelroot.

I'll let you know if it works...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robouser1469:
success!

I have successfully rooted my galaxy s3, sph l710, kk 4.4.2, nd8.

I used towelroot from the geohot web site.

Not the one from towelroot.org.

I then installed SuperSU by Chainfire, and Busybox (still not sure what that does).

I had heard that the update of SuperSU WRECKS data on sd cards. I have not let it update yet, so far it is ok.

So towelroot worked for me.

Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spark91:
As long as you're on stock ND8 towelroot works. If you're on the new NJ2. It will not as Samsung patched the vulnerabilities to do this. Remember that Towel Root can only be used on supported devices with kernels dates before June of 2014

I know this is a little off topic, but was wondering if anyone has experience running Exchange SP2 with PUSH EMAIL. My hosted Exchange ISP is telling me that they do not support PUSH email (new ActiveSync) because there are major problems with the stability of the release... isnt this BS, I thought once you have SP2 you should automatically have PUSH email.

IDEAS?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
they have to enable push e-mail support in Exchange, it's not automatically enabled by default. once that's enabled, push e-mail should work like a charm. as for stability of sp2, that's highly unlikely as i know countless places that are running sp2 and push e-mail JUST fine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ChrisSpera:
that's not entirely accurate. Direct Push is enabled by default, but they can disable it. It is likely that they have, if they feel that it doesn't work right.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] nplatts:
I'm not sure that it is, it's a while since we updated our servers to sp2 but i'm pretty shure you have to put the tick in the box for enable direct push email in the mobile services prefrences before push will work.

Then again it is a while since we updated and I may be mistaken..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] footang:
Has ne1 here been able to get Push to work? I installed the Exchange service Pack and enabled HTTP push. My WM5 wizard does a manual sync fine via GPRS, but when I check off up to date receipt, it keeps asking me for the phone's SMS number...

Has ne1 encoutered this prob? I wonder if it makes a dif if my Phone OS is French while Exchange server is in English

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] nplatts:
Ours is working fine, It sounds like your setup stil to use the autd way ie. via a sms message or an email 2 sms gateway, have you put the phone in the cradle and synced since installing sp2 and enabling direct push, also we enabled the enforce divice security feature and set a password on the phone.

BTW is you deviced using an updated rom with the push facility (aku2) ? as soon as we updated our devices the divice address feature in activesync was removed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] footang:
Good question. Im not sure. My Phone is WM5 with ROM ver 1.3.1.11 FRA and operator version 12.3.5.107. How can I know if it has this AKU2? I though all versions of WM5 were PUSH enabled...

Also, did you have to install a certificate on your phone and server? Ours doesnt have one...

thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] nplatts:
No only the newest roms for the wizard have the AKU2 update in them they have been officially released in the last few days on Imates ftp, and yes you need a security cert on the server and the phone for it to work if s your own certificat the device will have to be application unlocked to install the cert.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] footang:
OK, thanks for the info. I guess I need to updgrade my ROM

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] nplatts:
We are using a Beta Test Rom on the tornado (qtek 8310) but there is an official released rom for your device from Imate I think.

@footang:

Your device has AKU2/MSFP if the connection manager has a Microsoft Direct push button.

You need to set up the activesync exchange connection on your wizard with that button engaged to get direct push with no SMS required. I posted specifics in the Wizard forum.
