[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrontierProject:
I need some help here, I've been out of the game since ICS came out for the Droid X, the S3 is my first Samsung phone so I'm new to Odin/Kies whatever. Anyway I tried to root my S3 (Sprint version running on Ting, Android 4.3) through Odin and I soft bricked it, it went to the Kies recovery screen but neither Kies nor Kies3 recognize it. I decided to just reflash stock Sprint 4.3 via Odin, after some initial trouble finding a .tar I finally found one here on XDA that was prerooted, this one didn't work, gave an error, so I went looking for a true Sprint 4.3 .tar. I found this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565972 It failed the md5 check and the thread mentioned it was corrupted, so I tried downloading the fixed version another user had uploaded to mediafire, after 3 tries and gettting an "unknown network error" 3/4 way through I gave up.

So I've been without a phone for 2 weeks now, and I'm up against a wall. I have no idea where to go from here. Could someone give me a link to a confirmed working 4.3 .tar with instructions on how to proceed?

Try downloading the ROM from here - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Using Odin, install it. These are official firmwares, not rooted, completely stock.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeboys:
Ok, please don't laugh, but I'm a stay at home mum and I've just installed Mackay JB 4.2 (the file said 2.999 if that helps). I did a lot of research and successfully rooted and did the rom flashing. I even re-flashed a couple of times because I kept getting the keyboard isn't working error, so I've left off the gapps package for now. The 3.99 file still gave the error even without the gapps. So I feel quite chuffed BUT please excuse my ignorance, where on earth are some of the apps now (I know it all got wiped), but I thought the Superuser, Titanium, and CWM icons would still be there in the apps and they're not. Also, I downloaded (or tried) Root Browser (as I'm not sure if the IMEI was backed up and wanted to make sure before I proceeded) and it said it was installed but I can't find it anywhere. On one of the previous installs they were all there in File Manager but I didn't know how to get them out. Now they are not there and it says I need to change to root access mode which I don't know how to do. I need to get this sorted because my next step is to flash a new modem as that is why I've done all this, the phone is from Germany and we live in NZ and its not picking up signals out of town where it should be. Please help, I've searched all over :crying:

Changing Modem, does not require root, it can be flashed via ODin or CWM recovery..refer to	[Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat,

as for root look in developers Click System Information in Settings and tap Build Version 7 times and Development Option will be unlockedand root may be there ( depends on ROM)

also you should flash the gapps, as some ROM's need them for correct performance.

OK, I've rooted and put the rom on now so may as well continue. I did the 7 times thing and now the files are all there in File Manager, but how do you get them out or access them (sorry very noob question), like is there a way to get say the titanium file back into the apps part?

Also, I can reflash gapps, that was easy enough, but I've tried two files already and both screwed up the keyboard, so does anyone know which one will work? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
not too sure what you mean by getting titanium file back into the app..do you mean you have a backup from previous ROM and want to restore some apps?

as for gapps, look in the mackay ROM thread, where you downloaded the ROM, for the correct gapps that was recommended by developer.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeboys:
Thanks for your replies. What I mean is, I thought I'd lost CWM and Titanium etc, but I found them in File Manager with the other apps. But they're just listed, you can't open them, so how do I get them from there into the main apps screen as an icon?

Also, the two gapps packages I tried already were both listed with Mackay 4.2 downloads and 'what to do' information. So if they don't work what will? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
CWM is a recovery ( have to use Combo key press to enter) if you have a CWM folder in your SD card ( which a file manager can open) its your backup files and cannot be opened but only used for restoring in CWM recovery. As for titanim it could be the same case, you need to install titanium backup from play store to open it.

How did you flash gapps? I mean the procedure you used?

Oh dear, I've really stuffed things up. I decided to flash back the backup rom (GB 2.3.5) while in CWM. It told me it was successful and then gave the option to reboot with or without rooting (something like that) so I choose root. Now it won't go past the Samsung screen. I can get back into CWM recovery, but any options I choose I just get a list of errors 'can't mount' 'can't open' 'unknown volume' etc etc. Nothing seems to work. Please somebody help, I feel sick!

Right. (This must be so painful for you 'xseman'). The tutorial saved my butt. Huge thank you, you must be very knowledeable. I did the EZBase recovery and rescue by nitr8. Worked great and the phone is great. Have no idea what its actually running now, it says 2.3.3 but doesn't say GB or anything. So I got all smarty pants and decided to flash a new modem which was the goal of this whole exercise. Did that in CWM but didn't work. Thankfully it rebooted and its fine. After the last exercise wondering if there's an sd card problem now. Anyway maybe I should be doing this in ODIN? Question is if you download a zipped modem which bit of it do you put in the Phone box in Odin? (Is that right???) And is the one I picked (BUJP5) going to clash with the rom on there? Or should I leave well alone/quit while I'm ahead :D

All the details you need are mentioned in the link , given earlier, you only need to explore the links inside, and you will know it all. Anyway, .zip files can be flashed in CWM or using Mobile Odin, yes even .tar files can be flashed by mobile odin (download from play store) direct from your phone. so download the modem, for your region ( explore the modem thread and you will know which modem is for meant for which country and using that would give you the best reception) or you can use odin3 from your PC for .tar modem files.

Australia and New Zealand

use undermentioned modem and not what you mentioned. you can locate .zip in the modem threads.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Hi there, I'm from NZ myself :P

Uhm. When I had my S, I used XXJW4, and subsequently that modem when on custom roms.

I guess it could depend on what carrier you're on, but I'm not exactly sure whether being on Telecom, 2degrees etc affects this or not. I'm on Vodafone myself and I never had problems using XXJW4, it gave me good reception (up in Auckland).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeboys:
Hi, thanks for that. Its the one I have on there currently, but so far none have improved reception. We're rural, but it still should be better than it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Hmm, I did notice that custom roms usually has less reception than stock overall (on stock it was always 4 bars, on custom roms it was occassional).

There was a 2.3.3 rom for Vodafone.. perhaps you could find the modem from that and use it?

Everything settled down with the phone and then decided tp put slimbean on. Couldn't text or gps so in the process of reflashing another rom I ended up with the black screen of death. Oh dear. Managed to get it back into download mode, but can't do the ezbase recovery in Odin because it's not picking up the USB connection. Tried all the USB suggestions. Tried heimdall one click but no connection. Decided to try Linux as might pick up connection, so put Ubuntu on laptop. Now of course Odin doesn't work. Heimdall looks so complicated, not sure about command lines etc and you need the front end one as we'll??? Also what would you put in what boxes etc from the ezbase kit? There must be something I can do. Any help GREATLY appreciated, thanks.

Using Heimdall to flash

You can do the same process using heimdall instead of Odin3 too, to use heimdall one click you can download i9000 Rescue kit and flash. or use	[GUIDE] Flashing with Heimdall

select files as follows...

primary boot > boot.bin

secondary boot > Sbl.bin

repartition > s1_odin_20100512.pit

factoryfs > factoryfs.rfs

cache > cache.rfs

dbdata > dbdata.rfs

param > param.lfs

modem > modem.bin

kernel > zImage

use version 1.1 if latest version does not boot

heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32

heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32

Heimdall Suite V 1.3.2 for PC

Heimdall Suite V 1.3.2 for MAC

or using Heimdall on a linux machine

Thanks for the response. That rescue kit link doesn't work anymore, I've tried to get it before. I'm going to try and put Heimdall on, does it make any difference if it goes on Windows or Ubuntu in terms of picking up a connection? I thought I would initially try and flash the ezbase kit on, but the files look different to the ones you've shown above, or do I just unzip a rom and pick the files out? If there's still no connection should I try a jig? Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
1) Connection problems are solved by following this [Tutorial] How to resolve micro USB connection problems [unknown USB device][code 43] ( link to this was given in	[Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat )

2) you can use any, windows or ubuntu

3) yes you need to unzip the ROM to get the separate files

4) A JIG is always handy for putting phone into download mode but not for connecting to PC

Yes have followed through all of the tutorial and usb connection problems to no avail. I've downloaded the Heimdall suite but please excuse my ignorance how the heck do you install it? I've unzipped and dble clicked on the exe files, the heimdall.exe seems fine, but the heimdallfrontend.exe gives an error a file is missing. So not sure if its me, or it. Will keep trying. If I can't get heimdall to connect the phone what can I do? I've been all over the internet and I fail to see how it is completely stuffed, but still difficult to resolve.:eek:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boomer539:
Before everyone goes on to say that I need to read the forums, please understand that I've tried everything I could think of or find in the last week trying to get this thing back to stock.

Background:

I was on the leaked 4.3 firmware and the skynote ROM without problems. I tried switching to N3bula and flashing the official 4.3 firmware from Beanstown. I still couldn't get the N3bula ROM past the verizon logo and so i restored my backup from skynote. I (possibly mistakenly) unchecked the option to restore boot.img thinking i wouldn't need it. Everything booted into the backup just fine with the exception of WiFi. I tried rebooting into recovery and I soft bricked.

Things I've done since the brick:

- I used Odin and restored my phone to the root66 ROM (rooted VRALJB) - this allowed my phone to boot into a weird recovery program (probably some kind of stock) and it allowed me to actually use my phone as a phone.

- I tried flashing a new recovery in Odin (which probably should've been my first step instead of restoring to stock)

- I repartioned my PIT to the one from the forum on returning to stock

- I've (unsuccessfully) tried casual for VRALJB and VRAMC3

- I've (unsuccessfully) tried using Odin to go to either VRAMC3 and (normal) VRALJB

Device Info (from the app I downloaded named, "Device Info"):

These just seem peculiar to me...

- My bootloader is VRALL4

- My Baseband is VRAMC3

- My Incremental version is VRALJB

Help: - note that I do have root access

- Should these match? ^ and would those listed above cause casual to fail?

- Did i lock my bootloader when I unchecked the option to restore it in my backup after flashing the 4.3 firmware in Odin?

- Since my bootloader and my baseband are on different versions, would that cause casual to fail?

- Is there a way to downgrade my Baseband or upgrade my bootloader to make casual work?

I know these questions are probably way out of most people's leagues to answer, but anything helps guys!

I just got a nexus 5 on at&t and I am getting some weird speed test results. My download speed on LTE is getting around 3-4 mb but my upload speed is around 15-17. How can this be? My APN settings seem correct. Could it be anything with the simcard or just network issues? I am in the Cleveland Ohio area so its full blown LTE . I have been expecting at least around the 17-20 LTE speed at minimum. Any advice?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thafngame24:
So just as a followup to my original post... i chatted with an online AT&T support rep about my situation and it appears they are saying that my Nexus 5 is not shown to be connected to their LTE network..even though my phone shows I am connect to LTE. They show it is registered for LTE on their end but it is not actually connected to LTE at all... its only connected to their GSM network (4g HSPA / 4g HSPA+). They are opening a ticket for it and i should hopefully hear back from them in the next few days. Has anybody ever heard of this happening? The phone actually showing its connected to LTE but actually on the networks end, it really is not? If this really is the case, there would be no way to actually know this. Only from my feeling that my speed tests did not seem right to what i was expecting from LTE.

I will let you guys know what the outcome is... i just did a few more speed tests through download Cleveland, OH (which is LTE) and my results are still very strange... about 3-4 mbps down while 12-14 mbps upload.... it just almost seems like my download speeds are that of HSPA where my upload speeds are more on the line of LTE speeds. Very strange.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thafngame24:
i made a very interesting discovery when playing with my apn settings... my two default apns after putting my att sim card in were ATT Phone and ATT WAP.... if i were to run speed test after speed test using these default apn settings.. i would notice my download speed start up around 5-7 mbps but the quickly drop down to around 3.... and it has been consistently doing that.. while my upload speed would be higher.... now if I just change the ATT Phone APN to pta instead of phone and then run the speed test, it get around 10-12 download speed with a similar upload speed to the first.... it almost seems like the phone apn is throttling or capping my download speed but the change to pta seems normal.. with upload speeds being uneffected.... anybody have any clue what could be happening? i mentioned this to a rep about am i being throttled speedwise and they said no of course... i am still waiting to hear back regarding my ticket but i will be sure to mention this to them.... just hoping somebody knows whats going on out there and can help out in the meantime.... very strange..................... and it has to be something with the phone apn because my wife has an att moto x and i matched her apn settings to a tee and she gets 17 mb down while mine is still around 3... but the change to pta gets it much closer to her speeds with her att branded moto x. will be curious to hear your thoughts out there in xda land!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodburyMan:
I have AT&T as well. I used the default APN. I get anywhere from 20mbit to 30mbit on LTE around here both upload and download.

I would be *VERY* careful when you call AT&T. Their system does not recognize the Nexus 5 since they don't sell it, and when giving the IMEI to set the provisions in their system for data and services it sometimes gives it a "dumb phone" data plan which only lets it connect to 3G. (It would show HSPA or HSPA+ or 3G on status bar though). Some people were forced to grab friends IMEI's and tell them they had some phone AT&T supports like a Galaxy S4 or something that uses LTE to get reprovisioned for LTE support.

Sounds to me like you're just on a bad set of towers. I used to get 30-50mbit with my Galaxy S4 when they first turned LTE on in my area back in June 2012. Right before I sold my S4 I was only getting 20-30mbit, and I get the same with my Nexus 5 now as more and more users in the area started getting and using the LTE service, it bogged the towers down. Perhaps channels they reserve for upstream/upload only aren't affected as much as downstream/download channels?
