Try the app Air droid in the play store. I use it for all moving of files on my g2. Works great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
So I never got the 4.3 OTA BUT I did install the UCUEMJB Bootloader, but not the modem to use the 4.3 Dandroid Rom, about all month before that I was happily on CM11, and loved it. I try Dandroid because I hate Touchwiz so much, but thought this might cure my want to switch ROMs all the time.

I tried to port the Moto X 4.2.2 Rom, and decided to flash it. The phone came on once with the Samsung logo, Went off, and usually it would vibrate and vibrate meaning something is wrong, this time it just went off and didn't vibrate at all.

It is hard bricked from my understanding, but I have no way of getting a JTAG Done, and I'm waiting on a JIG I ordered, but this is becoming too long without a phone. I bought 3 100K Ohm resistors, and tried the method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=889128 and I can't seem to get it to work.

I tried the USB Debrick img for the JB Bootloader, but that didn't work neither. The battery is good, and works and everything, Just trying to rule out everything so many you can help me a little better.

Does anyone have any idea what to do? I can't afford a Riff box neither.. if I can get it fixed I'll just stick with one Rom this time, lol.

is there any way to JTAG without the Riff Box, or anything I can do? I'm willing to try anything at my power.

Thanks in Advance.

You should try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068 you were on 4.3 these files are for 4.3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
Thanks for the reply!

I have been looking at that all morning, so even if I flashed the Moto X Rom that was ported, I shouldn't need JTAG?

Also, let me get this straight.. I use WinDiskImager to put the img file on the SD card, via my SD card reader, and then Pull the battery, put in the SD card, put in the battery, and turn on the phone? because I've tried that and it doesn't work at all for me.. unless I'm missing something here, I'd love to know!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
You are using a 16GB or larger card right?

You aren't trying to get the phone to power on just yet. Only trying to get to recovery mode so you can flash stock 4.3 stuff and get going again.

With that said...

It appears it is only about 70 percent successful. I have had reports from folks that said they had to write the .Img file several times in a row in their SD card slot in the computer to get it to work.

You may have to get a debrick file from someone running the same rom you were trying to flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Charles::
When you plug your phone into your PC, do you get a box that pops up and reads something like "can't load drivers QHSUSB DLOAD"?? If so, this is what I did. I followed the instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581166

I used the AT&T image from this thread (I was on Paranoid Android 4.3, FYI):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2345860

Worked just fine.

Now, the link in the post above me mentions Odin'ing back to 4.1 so you don't have to boot from your SD card anymore. I didn't do that. When mine booted, it booted into Recovery and I flashed my Paranoid Android 4.3 ROM and GApps. That worked fine and all my data was intact, but yeah, it meant That I'd have to boot from SD card every time. To get past that, I plugged my phone in, copied the AT&T .img file from my PC (note, I copied...I didn't image it. When you image it, it pulls files from the .img file and writes a partition containing them. You don't want to do that in this case) to a random internal SD card file folder on my phone. I had to do it that way cause that AT&T .img was too big to fit on my SD card imaged with the debrick boot files. I then I opened my file manager app on my phone and moved the .img file to the /SDCARD folder. From there I used the terminal emulator and followed the instructions from the link I posted first, typing

su

dd if=/sdcard/debrick.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Took my SD card out. Restarted. It booted into recovery again, I flashed my PA 4.3 ROM and at that point I was able to boot without the SD card and didn't have to Odin back to an older version. Finally, I used the SD formatter here:

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

And formatted my SD card back to allow full usage. Copied all my old files and pics back on it and I was straight!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
Its an 8GB Sandisk D: Is there a difference in the way it performs? I'm flat broke atm, but if someone can point me in direction of a cheap 16GB or bigger card, I'll go after it for sure.

is your SD card bigger than 8GB? That's what I have, and I'll try all of this and report back

My phone doesn't turn on at all, :( So You mean to copy the IMG file to the SD Card? or the files from the IMG File to the SD card? I am not able to get into any file managers and ADB can't read my phone at all :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Charles::
First off, you need a card larger than 8gb. It has to be at least 16gb. Mine was 32gb.

Second, to get it to turn on at all, you need to use the disk imager listed in the thread I posted. WinDiskManager or whatever it's called. Grab the AT&T .img file from the second link (that's the one that worked for me...not sure it will for you) and save it somewhere on your PC. Open the disk imager and choose the AT&T .img file, then use the drop down and select your SD card (whatever letter your PC assigned it) and finally, click "write". That will image the files contained in the .img file to your SD card and partition it as bootable. Put the SD card in your phone, turn it on, and it should turn on to recovery at least. Once we get there, we can tackle moving the .img file to where it needs to be on your phone so you don't have to boot from the SD card anymore.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
Yes exactly it is mandatory that your card MUST be 16 gb or bigger. What we are doing is mimicking the internal storage on the phone and tricking the phone into booting into recovery to fix what we messed up. Walmart has fairly cheap SD cards. They're cheaper than $50 to get a jtag and faster too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
Oh okay I get it now. Thanks for the explanation. I'll be on the look out for a 16GB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
Oh okay I get it now. Thanks for the explanation. I'll be on the look out for a 16GB. I found some cheap on Ebay for $10 when I get paid I'll get one! (Living check to check... lol) I also went ahead and bought a jig for $1.89, I'm asking around if any of my friends have an extra 16GB SD, most likely not though. Thanks for the replies!

BTW, My phone is like. Dead. Doesnt even power on or anything, but I do get the QHSUSB DLOAD thing, and if I plug it in without a battery I get a Red LED indicator, is that how you guys have explained previous phone states?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Charles::
I never had it plugged in without the battery, but yes, when I plugged it into my PC, I got what you're getting. We should be able to get you back in business. Hurry up and get an SD card. Hell, go buy one, use it, then return it. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
Holy crap sir, I like the way you think. :D

Edit:

So I was able to get my sister to loan me the money to get one and return it lol.

So now I flash it with the AT&T Debrick Img...

pull the battery, insert SD, insert battery, try to turn it on?

Or am I missing something? lol

Going to pick it up now, just wanted to retrieve the "What now" steps ahead of time! Thanks everyone!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
I got an SD card, I tried the img's and it still wont turn on D:

Its a Class 10 Samsung 16GB Micro SD card, Currently keep trying to write the Debrick-SGH-i747U-CUEMJB3.img, and trying it out, still not working. Is that the OTA Bootloader? JB3? Or just JB? Or maybe its the J2 Bootloader I have with a JB3 Modem... forgive me lol.

Dead phone still.. I think I wanna cry lol

Edit:

In addition this is what I'm getting..

qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (COM4)

No idea what that means, but it shows up in Device Manager.

I've been trying and trying to flash this img and get it to come on, still not working :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Charles::
Did you image the SD card with this program?:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

After you image it, check your SD card in Windows Explorer and verify there are files on it. There should be quite a few.

If you did and the image you tried to flash didn't work, did you try the AT&T image that I linked to in my first post? This one?

http://d-h.st/iEy
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
The files are on the SD card in a folder called "image".. that doesn't sound good. I browsed for the .img and wrote it to the sd and everything D: I've done this a lot, any idea?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Charles::
Yes...that's correct. My SD card had numerous files in a folder named "Image", so it seems you're doing that portion correctly.

Did you try the AT&T image that I linked to? That one was named different from the one you referred to in your previous post.

Just to cover your bases, try both AT&T images that were linked to in this thread. If it's still not working...don't know what to tell you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
Yes, I've tried that one, and the one that theramseys uploaded, I just don't know if I'm doing something wrong here.

I stick in the sd card, and try to turn it on? it doesn't power on still.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
So stuck here :( I've done the 3 button combo, and everything. it just wont turn on :/ Any more ideas? Should I just try it with linux? but then again how bad can Windiskimgr actually be?

I miss my phone so much! lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Charles::
I dunno, man. I flashed the image I posted, put the SD card in and it turned on. Just pressed the power button.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
No tricks to it? I even tried using dd in linux, still nothing. If all fails I hope the jig works that I ordered. I was porting that Moto X rom from a Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 Base, but had swapped out mostly permissions and framework, I didn't touch the boot.img or anything like that.. I did kind of touch up on the updater-script, but still I don't see how that'd brick it, usually it'd give me a status7 or something if it didnt work, or even vibrate, turn on, then vibrate twice and restart, till I'd put it back into recovery, but with that 4.3 Rom I was throwing root issues, and every time I re-flashed it, I had to re isntall CWM

Yeah, just uncovered a new chapter of the story.. lol Hopefully we can work with this at all.

I tried to downgrade to a 4.2.2 Version from 4.3, and had a 4.3 Bootloader,

before all of this I was happily on the CM11 Rom, and should have stuck with it.. Curiosity killed the kitkat.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lemonboi5:
Should I try a 32GB before having it JTAG'd? I really miss my phones. What SD card has the most success?

debrick image

The only "debrick image" I was able to get to boot the phone into download mode is called debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img

Others have been able to use ODIN to install a recovery image and climb the software food chain from there. Me, I get into download mode and Odin recognizees it as a COM port but no matter which recovery I try to flash they ALL fail...
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
I am trying to be able to get root on 4.4. I am currently on 4.2.2 (12.15.15) (camera update). I just rooted using RockMyMoto and ran through the MotoWPNoMo and I still get a "1" status when I type "adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect". Why is this happening?

Edit: By the way I have a Verizon carrier (if that matters).
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khanusma:
Carrier doesn't matter. Can you give a couple more details?

Can you paste the output of the motowpnmoto?

When I ran it initially, the output indicated to me it completed without error but I was still getting a 1. After I got it working properly, it fully ran and was clearly successful and i got a zero. I am thinking perhaps it didn't run properly and complete and it did not tell you that.

Check the main motowpnmoto thread and see if you can find my post. I think I posted a complete successful run for reference.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinitwarrior:
How many times have you run it, and did you keep your phone screen on? I think it requests a Give Root pop up for ADB
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eakazakov:
Another question.

I was on 4.2.2, get root with RMM. Then i suceed with WPNoMo. I get "0" code.

Then I just got messed with SlapMyMoto - cant get it done. I decide to wipe Maxx with House of Moto. Wiped, install 4.4 ota. Now I'm without root, but adb script from WPNoMo still show me "0" code. Can I get root? Any help? :fingers-crossed:
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
I have run it twice with no errors. I had my screen on the whole time. I granted the SU access popup for ADB. I will give you my log report after this post.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
Never mind, I just tried it on my windows 7 laptop and it worked. It said "removed pesky write protection..."
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
F***!!

I followed all the steps for slapmymoto but when I try to install the 4.4 update, IT FAILS!! PLEASE HELP.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinitwarrior:
did you try the command to see if write protection is still off?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
Yes and it gave me a blank. Not a 1 or a zero. If I did the last step on slapmymoto with the adb commands before I updated to 4.4, would that mess it up?

What Failure are you getting?

Sent from my KitKat Ultra
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinitwarrior:
I'm pretty sure, at least for me, that for the command prompt to work with adb the best, have one in the folder you have the adb stuff in and open it from there, because it sounds like your adb shell isn't running. Did you check processes on ctrl+shift+escape?

Edit: try "adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect"
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
When it is installing the update with the little android icon, it gets about halfway and then it says "error". Then it reboots and tells me that the software update failed.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinitwarrior:
So one, did you do all the steps including getting back a 0 after MotoWPNoMo? And then flashed back to stock 4.2.2 on the 12.15.15 update?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
Yes. I got a "0" after running MotoWPNoMo and I flashed the 4.2.2 (12.15.15).

Edit: I actually did not get either a 1 nor a 0. It was just blank. But MotoWPNoMo said was, "removed pesky write protection successfully".
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinitwarrior:
hmm ok. Until you make sure the files have been sent over. It sounds like there might not have been a full overwrite of the FXZ... you might want to try it again with the 12.15.15 on RSDLite version, and then try from there. If you tried to keep data, that might be the issue and it never reloaded the stock recovery back
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadlord12p:
I used houseofmoto. I will try with rsd. And I did a full fxz. I kept no data.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinitwarrior:
idk why, but RSD has never given me an issue, even though it takes longer. Keep us updated

So I've had my TMobile Note 3 since last week Thursday. Enjoying it so far, but theres a ton of bloatware. I use Nova Laucher and turn off/hide the bloatware apps that I don't use. Don't want to root.

My gripe is with the stock Gallery app. It's really slow, as far as how quickly the pics load when you open it. I'm used to the Gallery loading pics a lot faster. I used to use QuickPic when I had my Nexus S. But I noticed yesterday that QuickPic doesn't let you sync your Google+/Picasa albums to it's interface.

Any other suggestions for a replacement gallery app that is simple yet loads pics fast and can sync with Google+/Picasa pics (at least)?

Yesterday I flashed the firmware from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46517009&postcount=5 using the Flash tool provided(Flashed the preloader also..). After flashing my phone wouldn't boot at all, with and without battery.
