Well, initially it was difficult. But once ya got the first latch out (with a click), ya just gotta apply enough force for all the latches. An important point to note is that you'll have to use a plastic opening tool, or anything plastic, and relatively sharp. Any other material may damage your device.

Got my guidance from:

Well, this might sound crazy, but nothing beats having a complete naked device in terms of feel in the hand. I just wanted it to be small.. real small. And yea.. I've used the slimArmor for a week.. and then the Korean Nekeda case for much longer, but eventually ended up naked :)

I'll get a QW case when I pass this phone to my wife in April/May.
[G2 Accessories] Sebba513:
Does the case just snap back into place, or do you have to use some kind of glue to keep it in place? Really tempted to get a white back.. Do you think if I were to sell it later I'd be able to put the black one on again and you wouldn't be able to tell it was ever taken off?
[G2 Accessories] MasK:
It snaps right back on. There is no adhesive used at all.

Yes, I think you removed the back without damaging it, shouldn't be a problem at all.

Is it possible to add a wireless charger into it. (D802 international.)

Anyone seen white vzw backs for sale?
[G2 Accessories] MasK:
Sorry, don''t get you on your first question.

Yes, all the antennas (black portions) are intact, together with the centre NFC piece. I doubt you can add wireless charger inside as there are no pins for you to connect to and also space restrictions.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
Hey guys! I am in deep trouble (or so I think). I just came back from my Winter vacation but sadly I left my Note 3 behind at my brother's house. I won't be getting it back anytime soon (literally) so I'm back to using the Galaxy S3 as my main phone. Though I wasn't using the S3 as my main phone, I still kept it up to date with the new things (Gummy 4.4.2 with the newest CWM and Ktoonsez (12.20.13 release)).

My problem relies here when I decided to flash a new ROM and tried entering my recovery and got slapped with an Android with a loading bar. It quickly rebooted my phone back and I thought, "CWM is notorious when it comes to issues" and so I went on and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.1 through GooManager. I rebooted into recovery and got slapped again but this time, it was telling me this: "Running OpenRecoveryScript... Installing Zip" follow by an "E:" error. These were the E: errors I was getting:

E: TWFunc: : Copy_Log -- Can't open destination log

E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'.

I've tried reinstalling the recovery numerous amount of times just to be presented with the same error.

My instincts tells me to Odin back to full stock so it would repartition the recovery but my curiousity asks me, "What if you can't go into the recovery to factory reset in order to boot into the Android firmware?" That would only mean I would be stuck with a phone that hangs in the Samsung logo screen.

I've also discovered that my root cache folder (Cache Partition or so I think) is completely empty (apparently, that's where the recovery folder is suppose to be and such) but for some odd reason, my phone is fully functional (apps, texts, phone calls, etc..) with the exception of entering Recovery Mode.

What should I do before making any kind of moves (my phone is fully functional with the exception of entering recovery mode)?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Recovery Partition is completely different partition from Cache. What you should be doing is flash TWRP with the help of ODIN.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my question :)

I'll try doing that and see if it'll work. I've tried installing TWRP through Terminal Emulator and used the this command to push the recovery into the mmcblk0p18 (recovery partition):

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Sadly it didn't work but I will try using your method and see where it'll go.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
With Samsung Phones, There is a utility called ODIN that takes out all the hassles of ADB push to the correct partition. There are plenty of Video tutorial on usage of Odin. Here's the main thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
It didn't work. One thing I've noticed is that the CWM logo (Samsung logo with the CM alien) pops up before TWRP which makes me thing CWM has something to do with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
This is the Odin process when I tried to Odin the recovery:

I also used this file to install the recovery:

openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2tmo.tar

I took a screenshot of the partitions using diskinfo. Do you see anything wrong with any of the partitions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
That Alien indicates a successful flash of TWRP Recovery. With the latest versions of TWRP, they are including the CM Guy with Glasses logo. See if you can boot into recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
It still gives me these two errors before rebooting me back into Andriod:

E: TWFunc: : Copy_Log -- Can't open destination log

E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Sounds like something wonky with Partition table. You may want to Odin back to stock. Make sure to use Android 4.1.2 version UVDMD5.

DO NOT FLASH UVUEMJC Stock firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
Are you sure it's safe to Odin back to stock despite the fact I can't enter recovery mode? My plan was to Odin stock but sometimes in order to boot into android, you must go into recovery mode and do a factory reset. It's the reason why I ask if it's safe to Odin back to stock (root or no root?).

By the way, thank you again for taking your time out to help me :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Your fears are valid. Here's 2 things you need to know.

1. When you use ODIN to flash stock firmware, The .TAR files have both bootloader AND Stock recovery in addition to modem, kernel and rom. So it is going to overwrite anything and everything no matter what.

2. If you really feel strongly, you can do a Factory reset using Settings > Backup and Restore > factory reset in current state.

By the way, you are welcome, That's what we are here for.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
For some odd reason, when I press 'Erase Everything', it doesn't do anything. Maybe it's because I'm using a 4.4.2 nightly from Gummy. Is there another way to factory reset besides entering Recovery and Factory Reset from phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
There does not seem to be any reliable method. There is one method involving ADB. But that too boots the phone into recovery.

Another thing. If you flash stock via odin, Don't just boot afterwards. Instead boot directly into stock recovery using the 3 button combo. (Vol UP + Home + Power)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
In other words, I should uncheck A.Reboot (Auto Reboot) when I Odin back to Stock?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You got it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
Does it matter whether or not I use pre-root Stock firmware? Should I also use TriangleAway to reset the Binary Count?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
No it does not matter. Its personal preference really. Since you are likely to flash custom rom once all this is sorted, you can go either way. Triangle Away is necessary only when you intend to stick with stock firmware alone or intend to send in for Warranty exchange.

Another thing I remembered. When your stock flash is done and everything is fine, you will want to take a backup of your EFS partition AKA NV Data.

Install Terminal emulator from Play Store. Then in the Terminal enter following command.

It helps if you happen to loose your IMEI in future at some point.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
Thank you for the input! I believe I have a backup of my EFS partition in my SD Card (had it there since SGS3 was still running ICS) but I will do it again once I Odin the phone. What I'm really starting to believe is the PIT is probably messed up. What I need to confirm this is someone who has a SGS3 (T-Mobile 16GB) to download and run diskinfo from the Play Store and check the total size of the Cache Partition (mmcblk0p17) and/or download and run Terminal Emulator with these command prompts:

su
cat /proc/partitions

This is what I got when I used the commands:

u0_a60@d2tmo:/ $ su
root@d2tmo:/ # cat /proc/partitions

254 0 2110 dm-0

I could use this as a way to see if my PIT matches with a fully functional SGS3 (T-Mobile 16GB).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I actually do have that phone as my DD. Your MMCBLK0P17 values from partitions file do match mine. I didn't check others but I am sure they will match.

I use SlimKat for a Rom so my Diskinfo values will vary.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
That's a good thing! That means my PIT (theoretically) is fine. The reason why I asked for the diskinfo is to check the total space of the Cache Partition (Mine shows 826MB of total space). My ultimate theory is of course whether the firmware would actually do something about my Cache Partition (since it seems like the only reason my recovery isn't working is due to the fact it's not retrieving the information that's supposibly should be in the Cache Partition (E: TWFunc: : Copy_Log -- Can't open destination log and E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version')).

It seems to me that the Cache Partition isn't writing the necessary files from the recovery image hence the fear of not being able to enter Stock Recovery to Format Data resulting in a boot-loop.

If you have a root file explorer, could you check the /Cache found in your root to see if you have any content there or something like a recovery folder in it?

Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Carousser:
So for a while I haven't been able to connect my GSIII to my laptop cause it pisses me off. It will constantly disconnect at random times, no matter what USB port I use.

I have a Clevo W350STQ laptop, which has two (2) USB 3.0 ports and one (1) USB 2.0 port. My only shot at connecting it is using the 3.0 ports, as the 2.0 one will be worse.

With the 3.0 ports I can have the phone connected for anywhere between 10 seconds and 5 minutes, but it's never been connected for longer than 5 minutes. The 2.0 port connects and disconnects every second.

It's not the cable as I use it for charging and have used it for connecting other phones

It's not the USB ports cause I use them all the time for other things, and I even re-installed my USB drivers.

What could it be?

I did a factory reset and updated to 4.3, and it only happens with my laptop.

Edit------------------------

I needed to transfer files over and tried using Kies Air because I can't use Kies 3, and Kies Air just says that java isn't installed, and I won't upload every song one by one.... And when using Kies Air, I have it sent to the desktop and every time I try to open it, it just says it cannot be opened.

Here's a photo of what comes up when I uninstall the drivers completely, restart computer, install the drivers, then connect my SIII to my laptop.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You're probably not using a very good usb cable. Just because you're able to charge through it doesn't mean you're going to get good data transfer. They use completely different wires, and transferring data is much more reliant on a high quality cable.

I have a charging cable that works fine for charging, but won't connect to my computer at all no matter what. I bought a 3 ft OEM cable on amazon that works great for data transferring and I only use it for that purpose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Carousser:
I'm using the OEM cable that came with my phone. The cable works perfectly fine on my desktop, it's only my laptop. I have tried different cables as well, and they all produce the same results. This is why I'm stumped... I'm currently using AirDroid to transfer files and stuff to my phone, but I would at least like to get the USB connection working.

I've tried re-installing the drivers and still nothing. I tried using the mobile drivers from the samsung website, no work. Tried using the drivers that install when you plug the phone in, no work. I can't seem to get anything to work :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
I don't think is ur fone since it connects to ur desktop. Have u tried different devices with same cable and/or different cables. . If ur jst putting files into ur external sd card y not use an adapter or put the sd card in another fone or mp3 player to transfer the files then back to ur fone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Most likely it is a mechanical failure in the phone USB connector , mine will not connect at all . I have seen several complaints about this issue. Looks like the connections are breaking internally in the phone and it cannot be repaired. Software is never intermittent, hardware often is.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaiKroll:
I've been trying to fix since installing the new update at 2pm (PST) today. Finally decided to post a question here hoping someone more knowledgeable can help me fix it.

I bought the phone and it was locked to Bell so I bought a code and was using it on Fido. I flashed the Telcel 4.4.2 update and after I flashed all the files it worked (I tried not flashing modem). When it started I got a screen that said "Network Lock" with only a dismiss button (i.e. nowhere to put re-input my unlock code). If I click it 3 times it lets me into device. In the status bar it says "Invalid SIM card" "Network locked SIM card inserted". When I try to make a call I get "Not registered on network"

I've also tried flashing my old modem.bin via ODIN but that just cause the phone to boot and vibrate a bunch. I was able to get into settings but no option for Network Operator or APN.

The network doesn't work but WiFi and everything else does. So I rooted using the new N9005 root. Added APN settings, and of course, looked for network operators. Fido doesn't show up but all other carriers do (except Chatr).

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerojay:
I got the autoroot installed and working fine. It says invalid SIM.

Previously, I had installed the firmware without flashing the CSC and I don't remember having sim lock issues then (as the Telcel specific files are not flashed) however you have to deal with the Samsung keyboard repeatedly crashing, so you have to find a way around it.

So my suggestion is reflash without the CSC file and brainstorm a way to put another keyboard on it without needing to input anything first (so Google Play is a no-go), probably side load a keyboard apk through ADB or something. Going to give it a shot.

---

The keyboard idea worked fine. Unfortunately I did still get the region/sim lock stuff because everywhere outside of Canada seems to have it turned on and the ROM defaults to tmobile without the CSC apparently. I've decided to bite the bullet and just pay for an unlock as I was planning to do so anyways.

---

And that worked until I rebooted and it asked for a SIM unlock code... well... damn. I'm just going to try to flash a rom with region/sim locking removed. Ugh.
