Need some more details, were you on 4.3 or 4.1? What specifically did you do? If you don't know what you were on, go into download mode and post exactly what the screen says.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
Sorry, the phone is on 4.1. She got the prompt to update so I was an idiot and locked the bootloader and updated. It failed obviously, and the yellow triangle says, unauthorized software please bring to verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Ok, go into download mode to see if the bootloader flashed, type out exactly what the screen says.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
I can only get it into Odin mode. It just stays black till I release from the volume up and power then it shows "system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off phone and go to nearest verizon store for help."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
That's weird, so you have no way to access download mode? You never get a screen saying you're ready to download files?

It sounds like you aren't completely entering download mode, hold volume down, power and home button at the same time. Once you see the blue text at the top, release the power button and continue holding the volume and home keys until you're in. If your phone boots to the Verizon screen you should be able to boot into download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
No that's what I thought was weird, I don't know if I'm not holding it long enough or what but it's really frustrating
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
Volume down plus power takes me to odin mode. I can get there fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
My phone doesn't get to verizon screen only shows Samsung and a little lock with the word custom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
OK so just to clarify...

You can enter Odin mode, but when you hit the volume up button to enter download mode the screen goes blank? Take a picture of what you're seeing and post it if you can, it's hard to tell what's going on because Odin mode is download mode.

If you can't enter download mode, there's no way to recover your phone in an easy way. You can try using an sdcard bootloader brick method, but I don't think it'll work because your phone isn't completely unresponsive. The only way to fix it at this point is jtag. Just make sure there's no way to get into download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
Sorry my bad for not clarifying, I CAN get into Odin or download mode. So odin does recognise it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Ok, so tell me what information it displays. In the top left corner in download mode or right before download mode there's information such as hardware version, binary, flash count.

We need all of that information to help you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
Product name: SCH-I535

Custom binery Download: Yes (3 counts)

Current binery: Samsung official

System status: Custom

Qualcom secureboot: ENABLE

That is what it reads in the top left corner
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Good, your bootloader is still unlocked, I'll point you in the right direction when I get off work or have time.

Someone will probably get there before me though, but you're in good shape.

You need to Odin flash a stock 4.1 image, root it, and freeze sdm 1.0 and fwupdater.apk to prevent it from updating to 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
Thanks, the sooner the better, wife is pretty bummed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
OK, so simply follow section five of this guide. Go to the website linked in the op, and download the 4.1.2 mf1 firmware. Do not download the 4.3 ml1 firmware.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Next, use this to root your phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2332825

Once that's finished, download ez unlock version 1.2 and unlock the bootloader.

Once you're rooted, use a file browser (es file Explorer is free) and rename sdm1.0.apk and fwupdater.apk to sdm1.0.apk.bak and fwupdater.apk.bak. This will keep the phone from updating to 4.3 and locking your bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
Can you point me to a 4.1 image.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
I downloaded the mf1 firmware but every time I open Odin I can't find it. I apologize again it's been forever since I did this. I don't know how exactly to extract it or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You have to use the tar.md5 file, look for it when it's extracted. Extract it to your desktop so you know where it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
Awesome, you made my night! :) I actually downloaded mr Robinson's root66. It worked awesome. Done playing with it tonight but would like to download latest cwm flashable firmware soon.

Thanks again

Hey one quick question. Is fwupdater.apk only on stock? On mine which is already rooted I have a very similar file named fwupgrade.apk. Sorry to be of a bother but I don't want VZW screwing around with anything on my phone ever

Hi guys!

I have an Lg optimus g E975 network branded.I can make it NERVELOCKED with unlock code from imei?It`s a safe procedure?And will be neverlocked,indifferent if i change rom,or any network sim?Thanks.
[LG Optimus G (International)] sunyakram:
I can't understand what you trying to say. But make a backup before doing any thing, if you are talking about network's, I think all networks are already working on it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
"Network branded" and "network locked" are too quite different things. Branding is just having carrier-specific bloatware, boot animation, etc. Lock means that your phone only works with one carrier, but not with other SIMs. I am assuming you are talking about the locked phone. You can definitely unlock it by code using your IMEI, and this unlock should be permanent. I flashed a lot of different ROMs on my F180, and it remained unlocked. Unless you already have your favourite unlock service, I can recommend freemyblackberry.com - they have $3 flat rate for IMEI unlock for any LG phone. Works like a charm.

P.S.: it's actually $2, looks like they dropped the price even lower... :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] buju001:
Yes,i`m speaking about a locked phone:D Thank you very much for answers and detalis,i use the site and works like charm,now i have an neverlocked E975.Thank you very much!

Hello,

I am using the CyanFox mod to get Android Kitkat 4.4 on my s2 but today I hit some problems after downloading their new update. The Google Play store along with the Google Chrome browser disappeared from my application and although I could see Google Play services listed in the "Settings/Applications" section it was nowhere to be found in the main applications window. To try and fix the problem I factory reset the device and re-installed the older version of Cyanfox, doing a cache partition wipe and a dalvik cache wipe (Not sure why but I was suggested to do such a thing once before) However this did not fix the problem for me. The Google play store/Google Chrome app did not reappear and I couldn't find somewhere on the phone where I could sign in to my google account. So now I am stuck with no installed apps and unable to use my phone.

If anyone knows what the problem might be and the possible solution I would greatly appreciate your help. I am not a technical person and was baby-stepped through my rooting process so trying to fix these problems has been difficult for me. Thank you for any time that you spare reading this post

My current phone info as listed in the "About phone" section:

Kernel: 3.0.64-g9e28a7droot@cyanfox #2

CyanFox version 2.0.1

Build number KOT49H

You forgot to flash gapps? Don't know about chrome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalnoob34:
You are not flashing the gapps. They are all the Google Apps, including play store. Flash them immediately after the rom.

Just a tip: if you factory reset the phone, everything on it would be erased, so there is no point in hoping that chrome would reappear; I don't wanna be bossy, but of you understand the steps you are able to do things yourself, and troubleshoot your own ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ipois0n1:
What's this?

So, I finally decided to publish my first own script :D

It's made for SGS4 and its purpose is to delete some unneeded system apps.

I tested it on my i9505 and it worked fine. No guarantee for other devices (e.g. i9500) though.

It doesnt remove all bloatware, since I'm using OmegaRom, which already comes with less stock apps.

For who?

Puristic people like me, who:

Don't like preinstalled apps but prefer to use their own alternative

Hate autosync but want to check their mails when they want to and not when their phone wants to

What does it do?

Well, basically it just deletes some apps/features you'll probably never use and never used before (in some cases ;))

More detailed list:

BeamService.apk

Blurb.apk

CHS_J_Device_only.apk

com.sec.android.iap-1.apk

EasyLauncher.apk (Good for grannys or potatos, but not us pr0-h4xor-1337-xda users, right? ;))

EasySettings.apk (See above)

FaceLock.apk (Insecure and doesn't always work)

GoogleDrive.apk (I prefer Dropbox)

Hearingdro.apk

MusicFX.apk

MusicPlayerWT.apk (Not needed if you use another musicplayer)

SamsungIME.apk (Stock keyboard, also not needed if you use another)

SamsungWallet_Stub.apk

SNS.apk

SpenSdk3.apk

Sec_Email_J.apk (Preferably use the app of your email provider)

SecNoteMyFiles.apk (Use another file explorer, I recommend ES)

SimpleWidget.apk (Same reason as EasyLauncher.apk)

TravelService.apk

TripAdvisor.apk (Who needs this, seriously? :eek:)

WebManual.apk (If you need this, you should press ALT+F4 or your homebutton now)

You can find a even more detailed list of bloatware on the S4 here:

How to use it

Make sure you have a custom recovery already installed!

Put the script on your phone's SD card

(Re-)Boot into recovery

Flash the the .zip scriptfile (if you don't know how, use Google or search the xda-forums)

Wait until it's done (shouldn't take that long ;))

Reboot!

Want to keep some apps?

Open the .zip scriptfile

Navigate to "\META-INF\com\google\android\"

Open the "updater-script" with a editor of your choice (Notepad++ is the best imho)

Delete the lines you don't like (or add some, if you know how to)

Save the "updater-script" (CTRL + S)

Put it in the same folder you extracted it from and close the window

ATTENTION: The zip file has to be opened the whole time in the background, otherwise it will not work!

You may upload the modified script, but please, don't claim exactly this file as yours!

NOTE: I'm not responsible for anything that could happen by/after using this script! If your alarm doesn't work after flashing this and you get fired or cause the third world war, it'll be your fault, not mine!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tokuro:
I have MDA tmo (US). My radio ROM is 1.13.10.

While i am using streaming audio (http://di.fm), i cannot receive any phone calls and will not receive "missed call" notification either.

Is this "by design" or radio Rom issue? does anyone have the same issue with different ROM???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
this issue is quite wide spreaded on polish pdaclub.pl forum, however in my case it works flawlessly. i've started downloading abt. 500 KB file via GPRS straight from Wizard and then called from another mobile. i could pick up this connection and after that PIE just asked me if i'd like to resume file downloading.

maybe this 'bug' depends on network, not neccessary on hardware...?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tokuro:
thx... you do have a newer radio rom. It'll be interesting to know how other ROM may work...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] benfica88:
I think this is network issues and not phone. It depends on your carrier.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mickangel:
It is not a operator/network issue*. The same part of the network does not know simultanously that the GPRS is actually downloading at that instant AND also terminating a call. The two things are asynchronous contexts.

It's the handset radio/OS that handles the switch and pausing (if it's a class B device) of GPRS when a call comes in. This sounds like something that will be fixed/made less flakey in newer revisions.

(*although that's not to say that the behaviour will not be slightly different on various networks)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] benfica88:
well, i was under that impression because every phone ive had from nokia to motorola to htc has this problem.cant receive a call while data is being downloaded.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] 1-2tje:
Samehere with Qtek 2.18 NL ROM on Dutch T-Mobile network: when i start downloading and i receive a incoming call, i can just answer the phone and the download is interrupted. When i end the call, i can select to continue download.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] yozh:
Sorry to bring back an old issue, but I think this is a ROM issue, I think on the custom 2.17 ROM it worked fine but I dont remmber for sure. THis is a big issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ingersoj:
tokuro, you mentioned that you listen to streaming radio using GPRS/EDGE. Are you doing this without the audio skipping/rebuffering every 4 minutes or so? If so, how? What program/settings are you using?

Hi to all,

first of all, I am not a newbie, but for sure I am not a Dev...I have red a lot of articles, thread and some interesting linux stuff.

Ok, I KNOW what kernels does and its importance for the system in general especially in a smartphone were the battery has the priority.

Please don't answer me including: undervolt, overclocking and sound.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masrepus:
Custom kernels can include lots of custom features, like doubletap2wake/play-pause and other touchscreen tweaks like this. Well but it can also decrease boot time by for example removing logging features.

But this all depends on the dev whos making the kernel so ones are feature packed and maybe slightly worse in performance, and others may have all 'unnecessary' stuff cleared out and be better in performance.

Custom kernels can also bring newer linux versions to the phone if it is discontinued.

Okay so I have been trying to root and I have tried everything I can find.

I have a fully upgraded phone so Revolutionary won't work for me out of the box and so I am trying to HTCDev unlock.

The problem though, is that I can't get Windows 8.1 to recognize my device. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times trying to get it to work. ADB works fine and can see the Thunderbolt but fastboot will not.

Nothing I have found has changed anything.

I also have a laptop with Ubuntu, would that work better?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
You need to do it from a Windows 7 or lower computer. In order for the bolt to be seen in fastboot on Windows 8 it would require an update to the fastboot drivers on the phone which is very very unlikely.

That is exactly what I needed to know. You need to go to infectedrom.com and use the guide that is there to unlock and s off.
