[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deptic:
I bought a S3 from someone and he said that the phone needs to be re-flashed. when the phone turns on, it boots up fines. blue light at top, Samsung boot sound, the touch works as u can hear the water effects thing to unlock the phone. he claims he tried the LCD in another S3 motherboard and the LCD works, I don't know if he's telling the truth or not. Can a software cause the screen to not turn on. doesn't turn on at all. I flashed a stock rom with ODIN and did factory reset in recovery mode. i can also go in download mode as well. the phone works well, i used the POWER + HOME buttons to take snapshops on the screen to kinda browse through the phone, everything works, WIFI, bluetooth. it's not picking up signal tho. it's saying "Not registered on network" when i try to make a call, but it recognizes my sim card and stuff. anyways I don't know if he indeed went into the phone's root system files and messed something up or not. please help ! :(

first 4 numbers of IMEI is "3531" and :( no sorry, I don't have a "efs backup". ok i will do some research on this. meanwhile, any other suggestions ? all the help i can get would be greatly appreciated :)

WHERE have you checked your imei? In settings - about phone? Or on the backside of your battery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deptic:
both in the phone in settings and the back on the sticker. they match
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtnelson:
Ok. You could try another flash after clean wipe. Back up your efs first. And remember back up is important.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deptic:
OK guys good new :) . i was messing around a lil bit with the power button and by pressing it for a while before inserting battery and also pressing the power button for a few seconds after inserting, playing around both of those option eventually the screen turned on to samsung galaxy s3 screen then it went blank again. also the menu n back soft keys lighted up and started working again. after removing the battery and reinserting, went back to its original issue. atleast now i know the LCD is indeed working :). maybe it is a firmware/software issue after all. please someone help! :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Sounds like the pwr button to me though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deptic:
you sure ? because when the phone boots up it stays on all the time, it never reboots. or shutdown. i copied some songs over to it and was listening through my headphone for about 30 mins. i start to feel sleepy so i managed to pause it by randomly touch places of the screen till the music stopped. i fell asleep and when i woke up back, i was able to resume the song i was playing. by can a power button cause this ? please help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
If the pwr button is stuck, it might restart on itself or not turn on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deptic:
oh, no mine is not restarting. it boots up fine. what u think can cause the lcd to do that ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Maybe the connector is faulty? The connector to the lcd. Maybe tats why it can receive it sometimes but sometimes not.

an offtopic question, how much did you pay for a s3 that needed "reflashing"?

$100. i have the problem still. it would stay on for a while (the longest i was using it for with the screen on for about 4 or 5 hours straight today, but it went blank again, i would have to heat the motherboard again to make it come on back. any suggestions and / or solutions ? please someone help. its not a software for sure. it a mobo prob
[HTC One X] p3terr:
Im using the WinDroid HTC One X TOOL, I did everything the tool asks me to do, and I get a message saying i succesfully unlocked the bootloader.. but on the phone's bootloader says **LOCKED**

whays going on?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Well it stayed locked.....that's what's going on !

1: using the original usb cable

2: using a straight usb 2.0 port

3: flash the unlock code manually straight from your fastboot folder on the pc (flash without a toolkit) !

You get the screen on the phone with the lock and you select the desired unlock with the volume buttons on the phone ?

[HTC EVO 3D] freakified:
I'm running a Virgin Mobile Evo 3D with the ENG HBOOT and TWRP.

With KitKat roms I've tried (specifically the two latest versions of this one), I've experienced a lot of visual glitches that seem to increase over time, eventually causing the entire display to freeze and requiring a reboot. These problems only seem to occur on KK and not other ROMs I've tried. Is there any fixes that anyone has encountered, outside of hoping the next release of the ROM fixes it?

Thanks!

I am looking for the image of the unlocked bootloader. Can someone provide that for me?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
You'll need to explain what you mean. You want an image to flash that has an unlocked bootloader? cause thats not possible.

You'll need to unlock it manually.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] g33k3r:
Hamdogg, I specifically need the actual image of the unlocked bootloader partition. Basically through adb shell and running the following command to pull the aboot partition, which is the bootloader, and pull it into the sdcard, dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot.img

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If so could you possibly dump that image for me?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yeah I'll do it when I get back... might be a few days. Ahhhh actually its locked.

Umm... when my other one.. my C6802 gets back from repair I'll unlock that again and do it.

I have no idea when that will be fixed.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostangelintx:
Phone: AT&T LG G2

Software Version : D80010q

Status: rooted

I rootedafter the OTA download of D80010q

I have super user permissions according to Root Checker and Terminal Emulator apps.

I am having issues with Root Browser (also same issues with Root Explorer) It never asks for super user permission, as the other apps have done. It also doesn't show up in SuperSU app's log.

I mainly rooted to get rid of the bloatware that comes installed from AT&T. After searching Google, I found the list of apps safe to remove. Root Browser was recommended to remove these. The folder referenced is /system/apps.

Root browser opens, but never asks for SU permissions.

Browse to /system.

There is no /system/apps folder. There is a /system/app folder, but the apps that can be safely removed are not in there.

Any advice?

Sorry for posting this same thing in multiple places.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
I don't use root browser, but in root explorer, go to your root tab and tap the button on top that says ro (read only), which will switch it to rw (read/write) then you'll be asked for su access.... That's the big difference amongst file managers in regards to root access. Root browser has the same option, just don't know where it is because I don't use it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Darnell0216:
- Open up SQLite Editor - Select the Apps tab on top and scroll down until you see Settings Storage and click it.

- Click on Settings.db

- Click on system

- Click on the search icon on top right

- Type in the word "notification" in the Filter Value field and click ok

- Once the results load up, tap on "notification_panel_active_app_list" (should be the bottom result) and click on the pencil icon on top to edit

- In the Value field, you'll see all your toggles listed. All you have to do is add the word WiFiHotspot <-- just like that with a semi colon right after. Make sure there's no space after the semi colon then click the save button.

- Close SQLite editor and reboot your phone. Once your phone boots back up, you should now have the WiFiHotspot toggle in quick settings!

It's a copy and paste from my notes but same premise with all available Sprint toggles. If you get an error, you may need "TB Restore Fixer" to give SQLite permission to edit system files.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AquilaChill:
to clear up any confusion/anyone wondering this is what the OP means by data toggle, in the notification pulldown the scrollable list of toggles (some may call them power widget toggles) is the "Mobile Data" toggle.

here it is in MF9's notification pulldown (stock rooted, just customized by Wanam Xposed(plus Complete Action Plus & launcher is ADW EX). was curious if my S4 supported camera over USB OTG).

I'm also interested in this & thanks Darnell0216. its quite puzzling why samsung would remove it, why not just keep it in the inactive toggle pile by default?

Not a problem. Glad I could help. It was either an oversight or Sprint's choice, as other carriers still had it after upgrades around the same time (MJA). I keep this in my notes along with the full toggle list in case they decide to change anything in the future.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
If you just bought it, you won't need to worry about losing personal data I would imagine.

The best way to dump the PW is to perform a hard reset.

Hold down the two buttons with a "-" on them, then poke the little reset hole at the back.

This will clear all personal data from the machine and restore it to the manufacturer's settings.

if it's the windows password than you can simply hard reset and it will go away.
