I think, you have succesfull bricked your phone!

It is possible that only your screen isn't responding, but it is in uploadmode. I would try it several times.

It's in Qcom USB download mode I think. Connect it to a windows pc, go to device manager and look for some 9008 device under com pkrts

I'm using a Telus i747m S3. Can I use any boot animation .zip file or does it have to be specifically for S3? Also, can I use a higher or lower resolution file if I cannot find mine?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can use any boot animation as long as it is in the proper zip format for a 720p screen. This is what I found in my research.

Hey guy,

Just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Im running 4.1.2. Can someone please tell me how to root my phone step by step.

Edit: ok got it all rooted. TWRP installed, SuperSU installed, and Triangle Away Installed all tested and working

now as for custom roms can I just grab what ever rom I want and install it? again im running 4.1.2. What is this MC2/mk4 that I see on the roms do I need to be concerned with this?

Hi,

I have soft bricked my phone while following all steps to install ROM via CWM and now I'm trying to install STOCK Rom via ODIN but I have no idea which version I need to download.

All I know is its a SM-N9005 2.3Ghz Quad Core, LTE, 32Gb, FCC ID A3LSMN9005, SSN N9005GSMH

It had no region lock. I bought the phone from Kogan and it was shipped from Hong Kong.

I have tried flashing the Hong Kong ROM N9005ZHUDMK1_N9005ZZHDMK1_N9005ZHUDMJ9_HOME.tar.md5 which I downloaded from samfirmware.com but that didn't work.

I have tried following this guide http://lockyep.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/technology-ultimate-guide-to-unbrick-16.html but that didn't work plus there was no PIT file in the zip anyway

At current, I have CWM 6.0.4.4 as when I tried to flash CWM 6.0.4.7 it wouldn't boot into recovery.

Is there any way I can find out which firmware version I need to download? On my HTC I was able to by using adb and get the CID but don't know how to do that with a note 3

Thanks for your help in advance

You'd probably have a Stock HLTEXX SM-9005

Go into about phone and Match the Baseband Version to the one you want to update to, at least until the last 3 characters

E.G. Baseband Version: N9005XXUDMJ7 Is mine.

In fact post me yours?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
If you flashed a non HK phone with a HK ROM then you're gonna have issues, find the correct PIT file then re-flash your chosen firmware (you'll have to figure out if yours is a HK model now though) HK firmwares do not play well with any other N9005, Countless people having issues with HK models.

Have you changed the recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamarco:
To start, my device is fine (AFAIK ;)), and I'm inquiring for informational/learning purposes.

I was running franco kernel and wanted to flash the stock kernel again and these are the steps I took.

1) Flashed system.img first and then flashed boot.img second in fastboot

2) Reboot

3) System update was available, realized I flashed 4.4 files instead of 4.2 files so I accepted the update (I assume I should have just flashed the proper system.img and boot.img from 4.4.2)

4) After update I notice root was no longer working and upon launching SuperSU it told me there was an issue (didn't prompt to install/update)

5) Boot into recovery and I get the Android with a red '!', realize my recovery is borked and proceed to re-install TWRP from flashboot

6) TWRP successfully installed so I boot into TWRP and install the same SuperSU zip I used to originally install root

7) Boot back into my Nexus 5 and SuperSU isn't installed. I check the Play Store and see the app has the option to install (which verifies it wasn't installed)

8) Install SuperSU from Play Store, it requires an update which I do

9) I now have root and verified via FKU that I'm running stock kernel (which I then proceeded to uninstall FKU)

So, what happened with my root install via TWRP? It's the same zip I used to install my original root (which was only 1-2 weeks ago) and TWRP successfully installed the zip with no errors. Does anyone know what happened? Why wasn't SuperSU installed?

Also, on a side note, I'd appreciate if someone could verify I did this all correctly and properly recovered? AFAIK everything is running smooth, but if you notice I did a major mess and I should rectify it, I'd appreciate knowing. I'm new to rooting, so I did my best to recover, but I'm also a fan of reassurance. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
1. all you had to do was flash the boot.img. that would have replaced franco kernel and no time nor data would of been lost. its a several second procedure.

2. you took an update. when you do that, you lose your custom recovery and root. its been that way since day 1 of android. theres so much info about that out there that you should have known that, its the most basic knowledge of the modding community. what im saying is there are no excuses :p

3. supersu got updated, and you were flashing an older version. you should have just grabbed it from the play store, installed the app, opened it, and updated the binaries. or, you can always get the most recent supersu here then flash it http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamarco:
1. I was misinformed on this. The franco FAQ stated to flash the system.img and boot.img. Based on your response, I'm guessing the system.img is only required for devices other than the Nexus line?

2. I completely understand, and I realize it as soon as I accepted the update. I seen the update, jumped to accept as I'm accustomed to, and preceded to immediately facepalm.

3. So basically, if I understand correctly, I already had SuperSU installed and updated via the Play Store. When I attempted to flash my zip, I was flashing an older version (I was flashing 1.80, your link is up to 1.91). By flashing the older version, it messed with the install, hence why it was missing when I booted back into Android. This is is also why I had to re-install from the Play Store. Did I get that correctly?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
1. flashing the system img would replace the rom itself. if franco kernel changes system files, then this would technically replace them. dirty flashing your rom would do the same. if franco kernel replaces system files, then it(or others based off franco kernel) is the only kernel i know of that does. anyways, i bet leaving whatever changes done to the system wouldnt hurt you if you left it. ill ask francisco if and what system files he changes :)

2. :)

3. right. or flash the newer zip.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamarco:
Awesome, I appreciate your help and information. I now have a full grasp on what I did wrong so as to not make the same mistake next time. I screwed up this time, but no better time to learn than after a mistake. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GooGooMuck:
I believe that flashing the Franco kernel does change a couple of system files as noted in the Franco kernel Learner Lounge

That's where I originally got my information from and why I flashed the system.img. Everything else after that was my fault. :P

Hey guys,

Currently using the Hellkat ROM but I had the same "issue" with JediMindTrick.

Issue is, even though I set Poweramp as the default music player in Android, some apps withe the option to launch music still uses the ROM stock music player when using such an option.

Example, Apollo is the stock music player in the Hellkat rom and after installing Poweramp I set it as my default music player. But when I select the music icon from within the Runkeeper app, it launches Apollo instead of my default player.

I searched for quite a few hours today and found some information related to "intent". I'm not a DEV some bare with my ignorance but tis apparently a way for devs to link to a stock app from their application.

So since Runkeeper and other such apps aren't giving the choice of which app to use when selecting the music icon and start the stock music app instead, I was wondering if there was a way to change the "stock" music app, by editing a conf file or something...?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Luminess:
Download an app to remove system apps from the play store and remove the offending app. It will usually clear the defaults if it's properly uninstalled and you can then set your default music player to your preferred one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] truthnotfiction:
go to settings >> apps and get app info for the stock music player. clear the defaults and see if that works.

if not you can download titanium bavkup pro from the pla store and delete the default player so your phone has no choice but to use your preferred music app.

[AT&T LG G2] x714x:
No. The verizon model is a cdma phone and the att model has a extra noise cancelling mic which causes speaker issues when ported to other gsm models. The canadian version is the same as the international (d802) and tmobile (d801) if i remember correctly. So you should be able to flash a tmobile or d802 rom if you switch out the boot.img with the one from your device. Or flash a custom kernel after the rom install that is r your device.

I know one of the canadian variants shares the model number with tmobile us device, and there is a d803 right? Is the 803 a cdma device?

Hey guys ,

As you can tell from the subject of the thread .. I'm problems with my battery .. I'm running stock Rom ! And the phone can only live for 7-8 hours at its best .. is this something normal ? Cause the battery status is good .. I don't understand what's wrong ... I rested the phone to factory settings .. and nothing its the same performance .. 7-8 hours .. with not that excessive use ... Anyone has an idea ? Would really appreciate some help .. cause this f***** up .. 7 hours ... Specially that I wake up at 7-8 am .. so by 3-4 pm the phone is dead .. HELP ME !
[HTC One S] DarwinOS:
Try different charger eg connect micro usb on laptop and leave it charge. From time to time it's good you leave battery to "sinchronize" and leave it charging for 7-8 hours.

Maybe it's rom dependent to. Check which apps are running in background, close unneeded, disable wifi, BT and so on. Which ROM do you use?
[HTC One S] the hungry kid:
If you have root access then try greenify. First see what exactly is consuming you battery unnecessarily and then greenify those apps.

You can also try one power guard. It actually saves battery in my opinion.
[HTC One S] Hiken_Ace:
I will try the different charger thing .. and I'm running stock ! Auto sync is off ! WiFi disabled ! I don't know ... Everything seems fine .. but the battery still dies fast
[HTC One S] Hiken_Ace:
Nope I don't have root :/
[HTC One S] the hungry kid:
Then you can try snapdragon batteryguru. I used to use this app before I rooted my one s. I don't think it has much effect but no harm in trying. It basically reduces the app refresh time based on your usage so that much battery is saved. It will learn your usage habits for 2 days.

You may also consider rooting your device.

What do you think about this maximus hd rom ??
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
I suggest switching to an AOSP ROM, preferably CyanogenMod 11 since it's pretty stable. I was extremely unimpressed with the battery life on the stock ROM and decided to try a custom ROM. I'd never go back now. The battery life alone has proved to me that AOSP is better than Sense. Sense is bloated.
[HTC One S] mrepovz:
If you didn't try yet then try to empty the battery 3 times fully and always full recharge (make sure that the phone dies by itself).

For it was happening that the the battery was emptying down to few percent very fast (e.g. normal use 16hours) but when it was at 1 percent I could watch YouTube for 20min before the phone died.

[HTC One S] Hiken_Ace:
This method can actually damage these Li-ion batteries ..
[HTC One S] Hiken_Ace:

[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
I haven't used it, so I can't comment on it. I'm not really a fan of Sense though and Maximus is a Sense-based ROM.
[HTC One S] Hiken_Ace:
Ok .. what about your battery time on cyanogen 11 ?
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
It lasts me through a day with about 30% remaining after 9 hours of moderate usage. Not terrible but not great either, but the battery life just isn't very good in general on this phone.

Standby battery life is excellent though.
