Those are your basic answers to this question that i posted the bit at the top well as 99.99% refuse to search or read the faqs i am not going to make a special link just for you sorry .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Well thanks, TBH why are you even on XDA then? I have helped many people on both Xperia Play and LG G2 sections hence why i am a RC glad to see your so welcoming. All i am trying to do is fix a phone for a friend i have tried those links already don't give me some BS saying i don't search when you don't know whether i have or haven't, to be clear I HAVE TRIED ALL THAT INCLUDING FLASHING TO 4.0.4 AND 4.X AND CUSTOM MODEMS.

I Also know my way around flashing CWM zips and Odin Tar.gz files. So don't assume i am a noob and don't know what im doing and just need a answer quick (infact this is the exact reason why i never ask for help on XDA regardless to me always helping others, People give you to much **** for no reason)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Ok so used rescue FW and now back on 4.1.2 and EE is working fine but still O2/GiffGaff isn't. Seriously whats up with this? is it locked? if so how come we were able to use GiffGaff before and made atleast one phone call to my phone from it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hierarchy666:
I seriously don't know where he got that 99.9% statistic from.

If your imei is not blacklisted then your phone is probably locked, either that or some hardware failure, but i couldn't be certain, I'm not 99.9% sure. Best of luck mate..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
No one asked you to make a special link have some respect fma965 is a respected member of XDA and as his own stickies and threads in many forums and I remember him well from my Xperia Play days:good:The only thing you seem to contribute is links to stickies and to put everybody off posting any questions at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Yeah i dunno, Never seen him before but started looking at his posts and they are all the same stuff. My IMEI can't be blacklisted although it is a Ex-Contract phone but it has rang my phone atleast twice and i have rung it atleast once (When a giffgaff sim was inserted) and yet now i can't get GiffGaff working at all (before it was working some times) EE still always works though. Any ideas? Yeah it could be a HW Fault.

Basically my friend bought the phone for £70 from a friend, It was stolen ages ago and he reported it to the police he was then contacted by the police saying they found the phone, The owner got it back but no longer needed it so sold it to my friend. (DONT READ THIS AS THE PHONE BEING STOLEN AS THATS NOT WHAT IT SAYS :) )

Thanks, I'm glad i helped :) Now all i need is some help in return :D obviously if people don't know the answer then they can't help and thats fine. But if you do know the answers or have ideas then please let me know.

UPDATE: Just to make sure i haven't missed anything i went through essentially every page of those threads, Guess what... Didn't help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Good to see you on here fma965:good: I'm not going to ask you the noob questions about apn etc etc..But I will though keep my eyes open if I see anything regarding your problem I noticed you said you had problems with O2/GiffGaff you probably know this already but GiffGaff piggy backs on O2 network so if it is working with other networks then I would start looking at the O2/GiffGaff connection or not as the case might be :D.. I don't think this sounds like a efs problem could it be a problem with O2/GiffGaff blocking it (none paid bill etc can put a block on it) not from you but who ever had the phone before.But then you had it working partially on GiffGaff strange.. Will keep a look out for you anyway good luck hope you solve it.;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Hi thanks, Yeah just to clarify i don't own this phone its for a friend so doubt i will be in this section much, Yeah i am aware GiffGaff and O2 are both on O2 masts. Yeah it does seem like a weird issue doesn't it. Also you mentioned APN's etc, Well my friend seemed to have internet on this phone without even registered on a network.

I have also tried the sim from my LG G2 which is on Three and same issue, Only EE works which makes me think its locked still (especially considering it was on EE before my friend got it)

Thanks any way.

Now i understand this is a grey legal area so i am not expecting detailed information just a yes/no, If i was to use the EFS backup from another friends S3 i9300 which is on v1 still and then restore it to this phone and patch the correct IMEI back in would it work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Just a couple of things before I leave you alone :D You mention internet while not registered on network yep that's true I bought a S3 off ebay hoping to repair it and I did a imei check on it and it was blocked but still had internet (I got my money back from seller he forgot to mention he had not paid the bill when he owned it :D)

Now your second point about not working on other sims apart from EE apparently if you upgrade to 4.3 roms and unlocked your phone without a paid code ie through Galaxy Sim unlock or similar programs then the sim unlock stops working! Now the only problem with that is I have a S3 which I unlocked with Galaxy Sim Unlock last year(on a 4.1 stock rom) and now switch between 4.3 roms 4.4 roms etc with no problems (lucky me) so that bit still confuses me...

So in conclusion I think you may be right about being locked in to EE and perhaps it needs to be unlocked seems to make sense I may be totally wrong ;)

Also your last question no comment:D

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Thanks for checking in and also confirming that this wasn't the same old repeated problem as it clearly isn't :)

OK so i can't find the IMEI in the nv_data.bin file so im assuming its been encrypted (old samsung phones didn't do that)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
OK after more hours messing i am pretty sure its due to the phone still being locked to EE and it must have been some weird glitch that got GiffGaff / Three working. So yeah can i unlock EFSv2 via a unlock code ? Can i do it for free at all?

It works on EE all the time, I cant unlock it with various tools as it's efsv2, do people ever read the problem before answering? I have told my friend to buy and unlock code to unlock it to all networks as after further testing me believe it's locked and it was a glitch it worked on giffgaff. I already tried flashing modems and only post mg4 works due to efsv2.

Thanks for trying but no luck so far, waiting for friend to get money to buy unlock code, and places that are cheap online?

Hey there

I am trying to flash Android Revolution 51.0 (found at the top of the list here http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.co.uk/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html) but am experienceing a problem.

When I start to flash (via CWM) it the freezes on a screen that says "press next to continue the installation". The button just doesn't press and I have to hard reboot. When the phone boots up it's just back to 4.2.2

Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
So I got it to work but now I'm stuuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Why did I get into this!?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Are you s-off?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Nope, S-On. I cleared the cache by a command prompt in windows and managed to get into recovery and load a nandroid in CWM. So I'm back to where I started before trying to flash Revolution.

I just want to update to the lastest version of Android available for my model. I'd love to unroot and return to stock but so far I have not been able to follow the guides I have found as they require S-OFF. If someone can show me a way to return to stock I will bow down and hail you as the all knowing Android God that you are!

I'm in the UK and on O2.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Both options will require s-off. You should flash arhd 31.6 then s-off with rumrunner. After either flash arhd 51 or go back to stock
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Thank you.

I don't really want to install Revolution if I can avoid it. Can I just S-Off with Rimrunner without first installing arhd 31.?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
If you have a working rom yes. I was suggesting arhd 31.6 because everything is already included in the rom tp successfuly s-off (rooted + unsecured kernel)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Thank you.

The whole Rumrunner thing just seems so complicated. I just don't trust myself to get it right.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
btw there is no RUU for your version. So if you want to go back to stock you'll need to do it from a Nandroid backup. Rumrunner shouldn't be hard to use if you follow the guide step by step. However if you feel you can't do it atm, just don't mess with your phone and take the time to read all you will need to know before.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
I think the lack of RUU is what stopped me dgoing ahead when I looked into this before.

When you say to do it from a Nandroid back up, where would I get this from? A previous one on my phone? Sorry for the stupid questions!

At what point of the Rumrunner process do I use this?

I massively appreciate the help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you don't have to use it to s-off, it sonly a backup in case you must go back to stock. S-off is required if you want to flash arhd 51 or if you want to complete go back to stock (remove bootloader tempered flag and set to LOCKED instead of RELOCKED)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Oh man, I'm really confused. I should have definitely looked into all this more before rooting. Ha.

Is arhd 31.6 Kitkat? I can't find a link.

EDIT: Found one, it's Jelly Bean. Is there anyway I can update to KitKat? arhd 51.0 didn't work as previously mentioned.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
yes arhd 51 didn worked because you need s-off and your best chance to s-off is tu use arhd 31.6 first
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Thank you.

Nothing has made me feel this dim-witted in a long time!

Thanks for all the help, enormously appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
OK. I have flashed 31.6, used Rumrunner to gain S-Off and removed the Tampered flag.

I would now love to unroot, re-lock and go back to stock. I know I have to use the nandroid file Alray linked me to earlier in this thread but I'm not certain on the process. Please could someone help me out?

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
wtf... this exercise was for what ?? how about you look around a few threads how to go back to stock..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Thanks for the reply. The excercise is so that I can return to stock. I've looked round loads of threads and (as I have previously confessed) have been left a bit stumped. That's why I have very politely asked if someone could help me out.

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uxepro:
Man, i don't know why this guys made you s-off and everything.

You don't need S-off to install ARHD. The only thing you was doing wrong was using CWM. To install 4.2.2 android rom you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 or higher.

:)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
But wait your goal was to flash arhd 51.0 ? and now you are asking to revert back to stock lol... make up your mind :rolleyes:

if you want to flash arhd 51.0 then now with s-off it should work fine.

if you want to go back to stock just go to nkk71' guide (you can find the link in SaHiLzZ signature)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Thanks again Alray. I'm totally tying myself in knots. I want to update to Kitkat (hence me talking about arhd 51) and if possible go back to stock in the process. I initially thought that returning to stock would be impossible for me to work out but with your help I seem to have got part of the way there so thought I'd try and finish the process. Sorry for the confusion, my bad.

I'll check out the returning to stock guide you mentioned. Does the Nandroid file you linked me to earlier work in place of the RUU?

You've been a great help. Thank you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
if you cant find a RUU for your phone (zip or exe) then use a nandroid backup. This is a little more complicated than using a ruu but with the guide you should be fine.

Did you tried to flash arhd 51.0? (using latest twrp as uxepro suggested?)

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Follow post 1 and (4 or 5) of the guide depending if you are using a cwm or twrp nandroid backup.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
In an earlier post you told me there wasn't an RUU for my version (UK O2) and you linked me to a nandroid backup.

I didn't try arhd 51.0 as I'm not sure how to remove CWR and replace it with TWRP.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
AFAIK there is no for your version. you can try to googe search to be sure. Almost all ruu are listed on crushalot's site (htc1guru.com) and there is none for your version but there are some nandroid.

there is a 1.27.206.1 cwm nandroid and a 3.62.206.1 cwm nandroid on his site.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Cheers, I'd found that website and couldn't find an RUU either, guess I'll have to go with the Nandroid.

P.S I am aware that I am super-crap at this. I shouldn't have rooted in the first place as I didn't look in to it properly. The benefits of being rooted just aren't needed by me. I will be happy to receive the better late than never OTA updates from O2 should I ever manage to revert to stock.

I found this guide which seems a little more idiot proof http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...actory-settings-for-warranty-repairs-0149204/

I'll give it a try.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
I'll highly suggest not to proceed with this guide and head to nkk71's guide instead. If you have question you can post there, nkk71 and many others member are very active in this thread and they will help you if you need.

If you want the latest version of android, then why just you don't flash that damn arhd 51.0 ? arhd is always up-to-date, every time a new android version come out, arhd release a new rom...

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

and btw that guide you linked explain how to use a ruu...... and they tell to go back s-on, what is not really advised...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpsya:
Because I have CWM and need TWRP and I don't know how to swap them. I've obviously Googled it but there is that much info relating to other devices/variants etc that I can't find what will work for me. If you know the method then please share.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you just have to download latest twrp from their site then place the .zip file in your adb/fastboot folder. then boot phone in bootloader, select fastboot
