[Android General] Z3R000:
Will this delete everything?
[Android General] Youdoofus:
nope. the whole process including what i just posted didnt wipe anything from my phone at all

just to clear this process up, whats happening is that your bootloader is likely borked. In the event that the phone cannot use the BL on internal memory, it looks for it elsewhere, in this case the external SD. The critical part of the SD card requirements is that it matches the size of the internal memory (eg, if you have a 16 gig internal, use a 16 gig card, 32 gig card for 32 gig model phone). The debrick image is essentially the bootloader itself. And which bootloader image you use depends on what android os you were running at the time you bricked it. Once you do the terminal commands, which move the fixed bootloader image to the internal memory, you no longer need the image mounted to the sd card and the phone will boot like nothing ever happened. Anyways, lemme know if you have any other questions, and ill try to be diligent about watching this thread to help where i can
[Android General] Z3R000:
THANKS!

Thanks man, it worked!
[Android General] Youdoofus:
Awesomesauce!! Glad to hear it!! This saved my phone too :D
[Android General] Youdoofus:
Actually, I got mine back up and running without flashing squat!! Just the debrick img file mounted to the sd card and it booted back into the os
[Android General] mapo01:
I am in your same situation

I am in the same situation you are. I flashed the same file and I was on 4.0.4

So I guess I need a 4.0.4 debrick file too.

Please any help will be highly apreciated.

Thanks.

Here are more details of how I was and what I did.

I had 4.0.4 im sure, but I don't know if 4.0.4 ALEM (may 2012) or 4.0.4 ALG1 (July 2012)

Then I flashed TWRP 2.7.1.0 and everything was ok.

In TWRP I flashed the modem from 4.1.1 (modem_CWM_I747UCDLK3.zip) to sim unlock the device with that modem.

Everything was good, I restarted and phone was working right.

I turned off and flashed with ODIN the file mentioned by RAFELO1: I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5

And after ODIN passed and after the progress bar ended on the phone... Magic, hard brick!

Wich debrick Image I need? 4.0.4 or 4.1.1?

Acording the uploader of the file I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5, the error aparently was not selecting Re-partition on ODIN when flashing the file.

I had never needed in the past to select Re-partition, in fact, always experts recommend to UNCHECK the Re-partition box.

Thats the reason of my mystake and my new bricked phone.

Anyone has a solution for me?

Thank you.
[Android General] Youdoofus:
Im not sure if the baseband is an issue when selecting the debrick image :/ and im not sure if this will work for you, im not saying that it wont, but the only experience ive had with debricking a hardbrick is when EZ-Unlock was used on a locked bootloader
[Android General] mapo01:
Ok thank you for your reply.

So when I sim unlocked the device I unlocked the bootloader too?
[Android General] Youdoofus:
not even a problem man :) and absolutely not, two completely different things
[Android General] Deepakg27:
thanks
[Android General] Youdoofus:
np, also if youre on any android os 4.3 or higher, the bootloader cannot be unlocked unless you own a Medusa box aka JTAG. If youre seriosuly interested in unlocking your bootloader, then http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/ is gonna be your friend. $50, i think.

also, and trust me on this, the thanks button wont break your device if you click it ;)
[Android General] dreamwave:
4.1, but if that doesn't work then maybe the modem got reflashed and you may need a 4.0 image. Also the individual x.x.X updates don't include a major bootloader on sammy devices so they can effectively roll back at least within the 4.0/1/2/3/4.x subdomain at will so some minor updates can be skipped.
[Android General] mapo01:
So you believe that a 4.1.1 image will do the work?
[Android General] dreamwave:
you don't need specifically a 4.1.1 image, just in general you need a 4.1 image. And yes, I believe so
[Android General] dreamwave:
You are completely welcome! Also are you sure it works without the sd? It is kind of debricked but not quite without flashing a stock image
[Android General] Youdoofus:
Well, did you see what I posted a few posts back about the terminal commands to move the bootloader img to the internal memory? Once you do that, the sd card is no longer needed
[Android General] mishra007in:

Thanks a lot buddy.....

By this post I could again bring back my phone( I 747) to life :) :) :)

Awesomesauce!! When I unhardbricked mine I literally was mid sentence saying "man, I just dont think that this is gonna w..." and the phone buzzed and fully booted!! I about s--t myself lol
[Android General] dreamwave:
lol indeed! Also what was the command to move it to internal memory? I'd like to add that to the guide but I couldn't find it in the stream :P
[Android General] Youdoofus:
Restoring stock bootloader

1) You were able to boot into the ROM

2) Plug your phone into a computer and use MTP mode

3) Move the debrick file onto your internal sdcard (/sdcard/debrick.bin)

4) Disconnect your phone

5) Open up a Terminal Emulator on your phone and input this code

Code:

su

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

6) Reboot

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

As soon as I did that command, I took the card out, pulled the battery, replaced battery and rerebooted. Boom, done!!

Also, in the if part, the file name would need to be modified to debrick.img if using the 4.4.2 .img

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CombustibleLemons:
I have tried googling but it does not really give a direct answer.

I have a rooted galaxy s3 with Resurrection remix which I love, but I am experiencing some problems with audio. Initially, audio would not really play out of headphones unless I let the audio play out of speaker and then put my headphones back in again. After downloading Soundabout to help with this, it seems now that audio only plays out of my headphones when I use the Google play music widget on my homescreen and do not lock the device, if I try to enter the google play music app whilst I am listening to something, the music instantly stops coming out of my headphones but then continues if I go back to homescreen again. This is also the same it seems with Sound cloud. I have seen some suggestions, one of which is to do a factory reset but I would deeply rather not do this, is there any other method of fixing this? Audio works but it is rather temperamental and seems to only work when doing having it in a certain way. I have heard about an app called Viper4android, but I have not actually tried it yet.

A side note, but it is not priority to fix at the moment, I am also experiencing a shorter battery life then when I had my stock touchwiz rom and also my phone seems to get hotter at the bottom (like it would in an intense game) but when I am just on the homescreen using it a lot with a fair few apps open and doing a lot, is this normal on this rom? It kind of makes me fearful about using the rom too much in case I somehow damage my phone. Anyway, my main concern is the audio problem but if anyone can answer that as well that would be nice.

Apart from these problems, I am loving this rom and would really like to keep it as the performance is phenomenal compared to my stock samsung rom. Please help so that I do not have to go away from this brilliant rom because of some problems.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] baj24:
So, I'm having hardware issues with my phone, but before I waste time calling Sprint I want to restore my phone to stock. I followed this guide:

http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...actory-settings-for-warranty-repairs-0149204/

I got through the guide and realized after I completed it that there was an error during the process and phone is still unlocked but now S-ON. I was S-Off. I can't get the phone to lock now (I assume because I needed to lock the phone BEFORE I went back to S-ON).

Can someone offer advice? Do I need to be S-Off again before I lock the device?

Thanks,

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
Since I'm in a pretty rural area in Germany and the next customs office is pretty far away and it's working hours are far from compatible with mine, I'm searching for good screen protectors available directly in .de or from somewhere where I don't need to worry about customs(UK, FR, etc). Amazon or another well known shop is prefered, if I absolutely must, I'd be willing to create an ebay account.

So, what I want is good front and back protection, for which I don't want to remove Sony's shatter protector. A matte finish is prefered and finger-print resistance should be as good as possible. I've read a little about protectors made of some special class here on the forums, but I've got no experience with it.

Viewing angles shouldn't get to worse with the protector(s) applied and I'd be very happy if the scribbeling on screen with a pen would still work after applying.

Of course, cheap is always better, but quality trumps price for me. So, would you please give me some suggestions, preferably with links since some products seem to be the same but sold under various brands.

I'm using Folix Crystal Clear ordered from amazon Germany.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
Thanks for your reply. What's the problem you're seeing with their matte ones?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wooki:
The problem with Matte protectors in general is, that the picture quality gets compromised and I didn't find any good one (tried many).

And with clear protective covers folix is the cheapest. They last long enough (around 2 years) but I didn't have any problems with them. Also they got nice stuff like cleaning cloth and "bubble remove" cards included.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fawxy:
I had my Galaxy Nexus for quite some time before someone at my workplace knocked it off the desk and broke the glass screen. When this occured, I ordered a Nexus 5 for my new normal use. Before the Nexus 5 arrived, another idiot somehow managed to get water on the phone and it wouldnt turn on. After 2 days in rice it still wouldnt turn on. An OMAP Flash got it back in "mostly" working order. The device always detected headphones even when there was none. And it also had an issue with random reboots which stopped being an issue recently.

So, heres the kicker. Just when the device was starting to work almost perfect again, it now starts having issues once more. The device wont charge on the wall charger or car charger. If plugged into a PC, it will boot up, but doesnt stay on long enough to do anything with it. The screen will flicker very lightly at first. Then after a few short seconds everything starts flipping out for 2-3 seconds before it shuts off and wont turn on unless left without battery or power for 2-3 minutes.

I tried an OMAP Flash, which didnt seem to help this time. It feels like maybe the GPU has finally kicked the bucket, but I cant be 100% sure. Its running latest stock OS, wont boot into recovery or anything other than Flashboot, ODIN, or Android. (When choosing the recovery option in fastboot it just shuts down. When using the button press for booting to recovery it just boots into Android).

Now, I do have my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 nowadays, but I was hoping to use this old device as an MP3 player and possibly emergency phone (since it is still active on the Sprint network). Any chance at saving this device?

Edit: Heres a YouTube video I took to show exactly what I mean. Unfortunatly the bad flipping out doesnt occur in this video, but you can see the flickering that occurs before it shuts off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KWpIIqVvgk

A LOT of people might disagree with you. The Nexus devices are typically better devices. I just feel that Samsung didnt do a good job with their Nexus, but thats mostly because its design is outside Samsung's comfort zone. The other Nexus devices work phenomenally.
