Hello all,

I flashed and rooted my SGIII about 6 months back using these threads

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387423

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47747640&postcount=1

Everything was running fine until Saturday, I noticed my phone kept shutting off in my pocket. Once i got home and started doing diagnostics, i couldn't really tell what caused it, i uninstalled the realtor.com app i had downloaded Saturday during the day just in case and wiped the cache of a bunch of apps I had before the problem started. The problem still exists, the phone will randomly flicker 3 or 4 times, the shutdown menu shows up then goes away, then it turns off and i have to boot it back up manually.

Anyone else had this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
It seems as though these threads come pretty frequently here lately, I am going to suggest a power button, it is a fairly common failure. On a good working phone if you push and hold the power button for 10 seconds it will turn the phone off, but not before popping up the power/reset menu.

Good luck hope you get it fixed quickly and perhaps I'm wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
Starting to think this is hardware related, i did a complete factory reset and same issue occurred. Now I have to take it back to stock and see if I have a case for a replacement.

Since i updated and rooted as I did, am I screwed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
now it seems to be soft bricked.. this is fun
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Did you ever install the 4.3 OTA update on your phone? If not, you should be able to flash back to rooted stock, install and run Triangle away, flash back to non-rooted stock, and you should be fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
Yea I did, I'm currently searching how to do this process post-4.3 update
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
update: so i can get into TWRP just fine, cannot reflash 4.3 update, getting an error no MD5 file found, and "assert failed: apply_patch_check ("system/app/Bo.. it cuts off from there.. then says E:Error executing updater binary in zip

if i reboot it just hangs at the ATT logo

what I have done so far was backed up before this brick started, then factory reset, data and all cache, since the factory reset I haven't gotten past the ATT logo.

Not going to sleep tonight until this is solved, I know someone can help me since I can still get into TWRP

Was thinking of trying to ODIN back to 4.1.1 then flash 4.2 then flash 4.3 but I am pretty sure that will hard brick it right?

$5 paypal to whoever fixes this for me!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
wellppp think i bricked it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JEdad26:
I had similar issue before.

Here is what I did to recover

1. Make sure you are using TWRP 2.6.3.1 (I used 2.6.3.0 tried the steps below, the device was stuck at AT&T logo, I thought you have the same version?)

(TWRP 2.6.3.1 is available here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar, you can flash it with ODIN v3.07)

2. Download a "almost official stock rom" from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47816011&postcount=18

3. Put the rom in SD card.

4. Boot into TWRP recovery.

5. Wipe->Format Data->Yes

6. Wide->Swipe to Factory Reset

7. Wide->Advanced Wipe->Check Dalvik Cache and Cache->Swipe to Wipe

8. Install->external_sd->AT&T_I747UCEMJB.zip

9. Reboot and done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
Wish I saw this earlier, probably would have worked. It doesn't even turn on anymore. Thank you for the help though. Just going to put in a claim and say I ran it over with my car or something
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JEdad26:
Did you brick it because you downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.1? you might still have chance to unbrick it although I've never tried it.

Here is the thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
Also would have probably worked if I had any life at all from this thing. I think this was destined to break, I believe hardware failed.

It broke when I tried flashing d2att_I747UCUEMJ2_bootloader_modem after flashing boot_CWM_I747UCUEMJB
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
UPDATE: Able to get back into Download mode, TWRP and it still hangs at the ATT logo. Was able to do that by sticking a debrick dump img on my sd card and doing that method. Now I am trying to fully follow thru with that thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068) but I still have never seen a stock 4.3 that i can flash via ODIN, i asked them where I can find that. I may try these directions in the meantime (Also, I tried to update to TWRP 2.6.3.1 and ODIN froze on the checking .md5 step so, maybe that's the issue to begin with?)

1. Make sure you are using TWRP 2.6.3.1 (I used 2.6.3.0 tried the steps below, the device was stuck at AT&T logo, I thought you have the same version?)

(TWRP 2.6.3.1 is available here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2a....3.1-d2att.tar, you can flash it with ODIN v3.07)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serstylz2:
Welp I'm finally back up.. here's what I had to do

First, had to get a debrick img from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068&page=3

Then carried out these steps

First:

I used "Win32DiskImage" Located here But you can also use dd to write the image to your sd card in Linux.

On Windows:

Open Win32DiskImage. Brows to the Debrick dump you have for your device. Select the drive letter if your micro sd in the drop-down, click write. Bam done.

On Linux:

For ease of example, and method. Open Gparted on your Linux install or live cd, check the dev your sd card is in the drop down menu. For example mine was /dev/sdb/ then use "dd if=/path/to/debrick/dump.img of=/dev/sdb/" This method also works. Be careful you are selecting the right dev or you will overwrite another disk on your system. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Second:

Put that SD card in your device insert the battery and if the SD card is written correctly with a proper debrick file. You can put a jig in the device and it will boot straight to download mode. If you dont have a jig hold Vol Down + Home + Power the device will boot to download. If it does not, either the image didn't write to the card properly ( I had to write it a few times with Win32DiskImager, DD worked fine the first try), the debrick dump is no good. Or your trying to debrink your 4.3 bootloader downgrade brick with a dump from 4.1.2 compatible bootloaders. this will not work the blown efuse will still prevent the bootloader from booting from the SD card as well as the EMMC. You will know pretty fast if it worked, as the device will vibe with the jig or it will vibe with the button combo almost immediately after being pressed and held.

booted to Recovery, then basically whipped through these steps

"You will need to copy all of the files you are going to flash (you can download them below) onto your 1GB or larger SD card. You then Need Put your Debrick SD card in the Phone, Remove and reinstall the battery,Put the Phone in Recovery Mode (Must Be Either TWRP or CWM Instructions and TWRP Download Below), Dismount the Debrick SD card, Insert your SD card with your Bootloaders, ROM, kernel, and Modem into the Phone, Mount the SD card, Flash your files one at a time, wipe the cache and dalvik between each file, Once you are done reboot the system, You Might have to put the debrick SD back in and do another battery pull, boot up the phone, after you get in the phone reboot it without the Debrick SD card in. If it will not Boot on its own see the link below."

My original problem came when i removed the debrick SD and inserted the file SD, i wasn't mounting so i was confused for a min. Then the ROM i was trying to flash was the "update43" from the OTA 4.3 update thread, that does not work, ended up using the "almost Stock" from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47816011&postcount=18

And I was good after that. Basically I just went a long way to do what the tuts had already said to do, and the screen flickering is also gone along with the random reboots i was getting.

Very thankful for this forum and you all
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
I would like to try tablet ui in all the apps and system,so please suggest suitable DPI.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
about 280 to 290

If you are rooted I would use xposed an app settings and just do pre app changes as some apps dont play well with the changes
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
Thanks. Ya am using xposed. I have installed Phab7 module which makes status bar at bottom like tablet. Also using app setting modules for chrome, youtube etc.

Wanted to try changing DPI and see how it goes , well will give 280 dpi a try and if I feel comfortable then its good otherwise will stick to current Phab 7 and app settings modules.

One question.

If I change DPi of system UI to 280 in app settings modules will it give tablet like bottom status bar as in Phab7 module?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
- DPI 290 and lower = Tablet statusbar (split)

- DPI 320 (and lower) and 800x1200 DP (in App Settings) tablet mode for apps
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Emilius:
There is 4 dpi densities. 160, 240, 320 and 400. 160 and 240 are full tabled UI. 320 and 400 are phone UI. On 280 you got some kind of Phablet UI where some apps look like a phone UI (Play store) and some app like tablet UI (Chrome).

I have set dpi density to 240 on my ZU and it is just about to be to small but to me it is still okay. If you like you can enlarge font a bit. (Settings/display/font size) I just like tablet UI so much.

UI, UI, UI how many times I sad that? UI, UI.... ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
That depends on how you're doing it. There are, like you say, only four official DPIs (160, 240, 320 and 400) but you can kick it into tablet mode way before 240 if you also adjust the DP. You can't do that by editing the build.prop, so we have to use a module like App Settings to set the DP to 800x1200, and then you'll get tablet mode at a higher DPI (without the split statusbar of course, since that required the DPI to be under 290). Yes, i've tried tablet mode at 400 DPI. A million cries could be heard across the universe when i hit "Apply". It's that bad.

320 DPI and 800x1200 DP looks right since the stock DPI for the Ultra (except for the GPe version) is 320, so all UI elements are properly fit. Anything under 320 is too small for me (personally) since i want to actually hit stuff with my finger when i'm standing on my legs, but that's just me though and people can set it to 20 DPI if they want too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Emilius:
Yes i know about DP. I use to have Xposed with module for that. But then you have to set apps manually. That is way to much work for me and then I can not use ART cache and whole phone is a bit slower and battery is affected too. That is the reason I just simply put in DPI density to 240 in build.prop and forget about it. 6.44" screen is big enough for that. Anyway to me it is but like you sad it is just personal opinion.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
True, it's a lot more work with App Settings, but if you don't want a "One size fits all" it's the only thing to do. There are also a lot of apps that i don't want in tablet mode, so the build.prop way of doing it isn't my style anymore. But like we've both mentioned already, it's all about personal preferences.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
Thanks guys for all the responses.

Will give changing DPI to 240 in build.prop a try as I am already using app settings module.

[MENTION=3716584]simunovic[/MENTION]

So at 240 dpi status bar will be at bottom too? as I am more comfortable with bottom status bar.

[MENTION=655433]LordManhattan[/MENTION]

Also if I change system UI using app settings module to 290 will it give tablet statusbar (split) as you mentioned.Or do I need to change something else too in app settings?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Emilius:
I don't think you can move status bar to the bottom anymore. Tablet UI dues not have that in 4.4.2 KitKat anymore. I am not sure about App setting module but regular way (build.prop editing) I don't believe is possible. You can try Paranoid Android ROM if you like. There is all of that and more. Personally I like that "old way" Tablet UI. To bad they changed that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
I am using stock 4.3 rooted so its possible on having status bar at bottom. Currently I am using Phab 7 xposed module and I have status bar at bottom.

Ya for kitkat it wont be possible.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
Tried 240 DPI via build.prop and really love it. Really makes best use of big ultra screen. Has two status bar notifications one in phablet mode and other phone mode. Overall pretty impressed with it,going to stick with it. Also changed status bar to bottom by Phab7 so in end got what i aimed for:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Paranoid Android is only in Beta for Android OS 4.4.x at the moment, they don't include hybrid settings until it leaves Beta. Even so, they are saying that the combined bar as we knew it is gone.

ETA: The only thing that I don't like about the combined bar is that it is hidden on the lockscreen, meaning no quick access to notifications.
[Themer General Discussion] Xonq:
Hi,

I've been using Themer for about 3 weeks now, and I've found out just now what causes my phone to crash system ui on long press home button (recent apps) every time. If any downloaded Theme is hiding the notification bar by default (well almost every theme is), it will crash the system ui with the message: "unfortunately, system ui has stopped". Rechecking the box in advanced settings prevents the FC, but since Themer does not automatically rescale the applied theme, it's cut-off at the top. NOVA Launcher has the same feature with hiding the notification bar, but does not crash the system ui.

[Themer General Discussion] alldroid:
I use hide the navbar on all themes m8 and never had this problem,what version firmware are you running on ? also have you tried a complete removal and re instal ? please remember unlike nova themer is still in beta format and as such has some niggles ,which we are assured are being worked on.

I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong place. I'm in the market for a cheap tablet. Most of the time, it'll just be an e-reader for the kids but I need it to run a specific app that my own personal tablet will not. I'm looking at the Acer A1-810 but I don't want to buy it only to find that it doesn't meet my needs.

So I'm here asking those of you who own this tablet if you can download the Ibotta app on it. While it does meet the specs required by the app, some devices simply will not allow you to run it. If someone could please check on this for me, I'd be eternally grateful!

Hello fellow Gears, my Gear is rooted and I have Null 20 installed. I currently cannot go into the Notifications tab in the Gear Manager to make changes to my notifications. When I tap on the button it hangs the app, and eventually it force closes. I have done some google searches on this topic with the fix being uninstall/reinstall Gear Manager. This did not work for me. Could this be a result of having a Null Rom? Because it didnt start happening until I installed Null on my Watch.

I love Null roms and they have gotten me to the point where I really enjoy my Gear watch. It can do all the things I dreamed it would do when I bought it back in November. Someone please help with this issue. I can't believe that I'm the only one.

Thanks in advance!!
