cr@p! what an unhelpful post! They are available on ebay for around £120, easy to fit, just be careful the part you buy matches the part number of the original screen - some sellers say the magician screen fits, my supplier says it doesn't.

Thanks for all your help guys - I did try calling T-Mobile about insurance saying that I though I'd selected it when I bought it online, but they wouldn't budge on letting me insure it after 2 weeks and sounded pretty sceptical from the start :?

I contacted HTC directly and they're quoting £94 to replace the screen and for shipping both ways which I guess is fairly reasonable - especially after the great suggestion of buying a new one at £200+

Just thought I'd update you incase anyone else is as unfortunate as I was.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post contact details for HTC on here - so anyone needing to contact them, just PM me.

Thanks again for the suggestions
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fluffcat1:
That's actually very reasonable considering your warranty remains intact as well. Cheapest price online is now about £95 for the screen alone! HTC will only deal with t-mob/orange branded items from experence though.

RE: Downgrade Galaxy S3 I747 from 4.3(knox) to 4.1.2???

Hi guys,

I've been searching online and no luck finding a good answers. I have a Galaxy S3 I747M(Canadian) that was handed to me.... Sad part is, most average users, whenever they see an update for the phone, they freaking update without research the pros or cons.

Anyhows, I was fiddling with my Galaxy Note 2 and came across on how disable KNOX to achieve Rooting and I thought***** Light Bulb*

Here's my idea, not sure if this will work but, I will root my Galaxy S3 and use the same idea by disabling KNOX using Dr Ketan multitool to rename Knox.*apk files then inject busy box and root. (By the way, I have rooted my S3 this way and it achieve rooting no problem).

Now the question is, since KNOX is disabled, would I be able to downgrade to 4.1.2? Just wondering if other people out there has ever done this route by disabling KNOX and then do downgrade....

What do you guys think?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] killer0123:
Dont do it. You will BRICK your phone. For the moment on android 4.3 Samsung galaxy i747M (same as mine on Rogers) therse no way to downgrade. Yon wont be able to downgrade anyway because you have the new bootloader and with the new one, you CANT downgrade, or if you try, you will Soft-Brick your phone.

(In the past, i got an HTC EVO 3D and Soft-Bricked my phone by flashing a wrong Kernel.... so i made some research on the web and i found the a JTAG may be able to unbrick my phone and flash back the good Kernel the good ROM and the good bootloader.... So I sent it to a store who was repairing smrtphones. Tey tell me that they knew what my problem is so they should be able ot fix it but... the next day when i came to get my HTC they told me that finnally EVEN with the JTAG they wasnt able to repair it...)

* All of that to tell you : dont trust JTAG sometimes it may not work...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Florad77:
I have the i747 canadian model too and althpugh you can't downgrade to stock 4.1.2, you can definetly flash a custom 4.1.2 rom which DOES NOT include a bootloader. Im currently running hyperdrive rls 16 which is 4.1.2 based and before that i was rooted on stock 4.3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gc84245:
I have a question along the same lines, is it possible to restore a nandroid of 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 after updating the bootloader? Does restoring a nandroid affect the bootloader?

I actually haven't don't the official update yet, specifically because I don't like that it's one way. I flashed stock 4.3 without updating the bootloader and I like the improvements.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] killer0123:
No by restauring your phone whit nandroid if you are on 4.3 with the new bootloader you will brick your device...

I'm able to get 4.1.* running but none of the modems seem to work.

Am I screwed if I need to network/sim unlock this?

EDIT: Just found out about EFSv1 vs. EFSv2. Looks like I'm boned for a free unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You cannot use the free method to sim unlock the phone unless you are running a completely stock ROM, inclduing the bootloader. There were a couple of users that downgraded everything to 4.1.1 from 4.3 except the bootloader and the required unlock menu options were not available.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] weedy2887:
Because the 4.3 upgrade changes to format of the EFS partition.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Nope, its all because of the modem. You never had to flash a 4.1.1 rom, only the modem. The problem is that once you've updated to 4.3, older modems no longer function.

There is little more than factoryapp, s/n, and drm related data on the EFS partition of these devices. They are not like many others where a lot of NV data was stored there.

This is also why backing up the EFS, while not a bad idea, does not protect against many of the things people think it will, such as IMEI loss.

Once on 4.3 or above you cannot flash older firmware. Only the modem belonging to each build will work.

You can flash older roms, but thats it.

guys..

i need help here. I am currently using blackstar v1 rom on my galaxy pocket for 2 days.. this rom have some update problems and small bugs.. since i don't like this ROM i want to go back to my stock one.. i had made nandroid backup before flashing blackstar.. can i just restore it using cwm.? :confused::confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goose306:
So, this is just a general request. You may be able to do it with current ROMs, but a cursory Google search didn't turn anything up.

What I would like would be the ability to keep an app fully open and engaged in the background. That doesn't mean the usual pause status, but have the actual app fully running.

As an example: if playing Clash of Clans, every time you hop out of the app to another, the game has to re-sync with the server. While you are playing, it stays synced. While you are playing, you also cannot be attacked. Thus, if you could avoid the suspended state, you could never be attacked.

There is lots of usage for this I could see with various apps, especially games which require a certain grinding that operate server-side so can't be easily hacked. I get there would probably be downsides, such as likely severe battery use, but my phone is on the charger 75% of the day at work so this really isn't an issue.

Basically, I just want a way to avoid the suspend state and trick apps into thinking I always have them open. Let me know if there is any current way to do this or if you think this is a terrible idea for some reason. :)

[General Accessories] lawndart:
Holy crap. Thank you for this review. New to Android anything, still have a dumb phone. Got a Nexus 7 and am loving it, but it's still running around naked, wallowing in its own feces. Agonizing over a cover for it. I'm not a big fan of the screen protector on my mp3 player, so I was eyeing folio-type cases that cover the screen and had it narrowed down to the Moko Slim-Fit, Ultra-Slim, or Poetic Slim-Line. The Devicewear Ridge was on the list too, but constantly seeing "Vegan Leather" gets my hackles up and has kinda soured me toward that case. It's like saying Consensual Rape. Or Non-lethal Murder. Maybe if it was made of real vegans... And wasn't $10 more than the others mentioned.

Anyway, this has thrown a wrench into my going-with-a-folio-case thing.

1. All of these cases cover the screen.

2. All of them look like they have good low angle stand viewing. I've been propping my Nexus up in front of my numberpad and treating it as a second monitor/search tool when the PC is occupied or it keeps me from alt tabbing.

The Seidio does give up any sleep/wake ability, makes the Nexus a lot thicker, and seems like it would add a few seconds to quick access and maybe require two hands.

How much does the Seidio weigh? Any advice on my choice between them? And again, thanks for the review. That looks like one heck of a case.
[General Accessories] vectron:
The weight is on par or maybe even lighter than folio cases, but this one has a different purpose. Btw, I have reviewed in details MoKo cases you mentioned above as well here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583631

From what you have described, sounds like Moko Slim-Fit probably going to be a better solution for you. Seidio is more for a rugged application, especially outdoors. Get that N7 dresses ASAP, you don't want to drop it and shatter the display.

I wish the hard piece on the back didn't have the circular cutout in the middle! Makes it look VERY similar to ipad cases, as they have that cutout to show the Apple logo on the tablet. Other than that (and the silicone being a lint magnet!), it looks like a great case.

^Mine did have a pretty strong smell initially. I kind of liked it, like the new car smell. Completely gone after a week.

[General Accessories] Deeco7:
Good case, but I hate covers that collect dust.
[General Accessories] Ediez:
so far so good with this case, it works great...even though it does attract some lint it comes off pretty easy. I had no smell from this case, so I can't comment on that. I will say that it's very very soft to the touch so it doesn't feel "grippy" when I hold it. If I attach the front cover to the back then it's got more grip to it. I wonder if it will because rougher with use and thus feel more grip when I hold it.
[General Accessories] richardkemp:
To throw a vote in here, I've had this case since January and I'm really happy with it, definitely worth the price. It looks beautiful in red (garnet or something like that?), IMO the black version looks a little too industrial.

I've dropped it a few times on concrete from waist height and made a few smallish scratches on the hard plastic outer, but overall it still looks great and the device is, of couse, fine :)

I have a I337 MDL 4.2.2 galaxy S4 in my posession. I previously was not interested in any custom ROMs or rooting in particular,however i ended up rooting my phone using the motochopper tool a while back. since the release of jellybean 4.3 i have been desperately searching for a way to get the upgrade,however my OTA updates don't work because I'm always told to try again in 24 hours,even though i know full well the update is available. I am not sure if this is due to me using the phone in the caribbean where i live,or it being rooted. However,since the MDL baseband seems to be some sort of software gold,I would like to install a custom rom,and i really really need instructions so simple that an idiot would get it,cause I seem to not be getting this at all. Any redirections to other threads would be appreciated,such as GoldenEye which seems to be a decent ROM based on my internet travels lol. Also if there is a way to bypass all the drama and simply do the OTA update to 4.3,it would be greatly appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
As xBeerdroiDx said, do not take the update. The easiest thing to do is use the CASUAL root method, and then you can use the custom recovery it installs to flash StockUp MK2 if you want the 4.3 update as that way you can get it and still keep your custom recovery to change at any time. You may need the MK2 modem from the thread if your cell and data service stops working right but it should be good.

So I already had an HTC Rezound for a year and was too afraid to root-so I bought an already rooted rezound from eBay that came with a 16 gig recovery sd card. I don't know what to do or how to flash a Rom or what I should do as a root noob... Can I please get some guidance from an experienced person?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Any idea what's on it now? Check the rom info in Settings, About Phone.

Also power it off, pull the battery, put it back in and turn the phone back on while holding Volume down, that'll get you the bootloader. See what version you have and if it's s-on or s-off.

From there you can select Recovery on the menu and boot into it, see what recovery you have.

Let us know and we can go from there.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Looks like just the stock rom. What version hboot, are you s-on/off and what recovery do you have?

[HTC Rezound] undeadking:
Is this the right information that you needed to know?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
You are already unlocked and have Amon Ra recovery installed, the "hard" stuff is done (actually it's not hard), and FYI you are S-ON... You are pretty good to go for any ICS based ROM. If you want to move into JellyBean or KitKat based ROMs you should switch to TWRP or CWM Recovery. Other than that, your good to go.
[HTC Rezound] undeadking:
Ok, thanks a bunch! Ive done tons of reading about flashing roms and am still a little weary about the actual process. Ive read that a computer is needed in some cases but in others people are switching roms right from their phone- whats the safest or correct way to do it?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Although there are ways around it (that I don't recommend, mind you) the rule of thumb is based on whether you are S-ON or S-OFF...

When S-ON, a computer has to be involved so that the boot.img can be loaded... you must either: A) flash the boot.img manually with fastboot after flashing the ROM in recovery, or B) boot the recovery image file with fastboot and flash the ROM file

When S-OFF, no computer is required, all partitions of the phone are writable by recovery directly.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
Don't forget you can use the phone (or a computer) to pack the boot.img into a PH98IMG.zip. As long as it boots, that is.
[HTC Rezound] petewill8:
Hi All,

I am also new at rooting the Rezound and I'm having trouble. I did quite a bit of reading and followed the instructions here: theunlockr.com/2012/08/24/how-to-root-the-htc-rezound-video/

Apparently this was for an older version because I can't install ClockworkMod Recovery ("an error occurred ..."). I read that getting a backup of ClockworkMod Recovery was the best thing to do before installing any ROMs. Is that really necessary? It seems like I could always find an RUU on this site and flash back to ICS if I wanted to right?

Can some one point me in the right direction for what I should do next? Basically all I want to do is flash a ROM on my Rezound that will enable me to use it as a wall controller for my home automation system. So, ideally I'd like to remove the swipe to unlock feature (just be able to press the power button to get to the home screen) and to be able to force a nightly reboot with Tasker and remove as much bloatware as possible. This device is connected to my home network through wifi only. Any ideas what the best ROM would be for that?

By the way my recovery screen looks like undeadking's. I have S-On.

Thanks!
