[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperBommel:
Hi,

Perhaps an easy solution: It happened to me that after entering the confirmation screen (power, home and vol down), I released home and power first. This lead to a reboot, since the vol down (=cancel) was still pressed.

Could you please try to release the vol down first, while keeping the other two buttons pressed? Then release home and power.

Good luck!

Custom bianry count

Hi

I recently rooted my S3 using CF-Auto-Root and also installed TWRP recovery, with great help from members on this thread, all is working well and can do a lot more now on my S3.

My question is what would be the best way to get the "custom binary count" reset to zero ??

Its at two just now it was at zero before I rooted.

And just for referance what is the maximum "custom binary count" ??

And does a large count cause a problem ??

My S3 has stock rom 4.3 installed.

Sorry for all the above Q's

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Did you find this thread from Chainfire: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/2014-01-15-triangleaway-v3-26-t1494114

It contains some helpful information. The S3 doesn't show the famous yellow triangle as the S2 did, so it's not that ugly;)

You probably only need to reset your counter in case of warranty issues.

Great I will check link that you provided.

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Thanks for info had a look at link and a good read through have decided not to try as my S3 is working fine and it has a low custom binary count anyway, what changed my mined, well all the warnings about the fact you can brick your phone has sort of surperssed my urgency to try and reset binary count so I have backed out from trying.

Thanks again.

Maybe it caused by the hardware button, but can't test/verify/test it unless i have knowledge/tools to check the hardware.

Can't use adb/fastboot.

Tbh, i want to save some money by seeking help from fellow xda member. Sending it for a repair may cost me unless it is the last option.

Worse case, it is a dead s3, replacing the motherboard will cost almost half of the phone itself.

If that is the case, then my wife will be happy, because she just got herself S5 upgrade. [emoji55]

And yes, the phone power on itself when inserting the battery and just keep bootlooping.

What does it mean?

Tried as u mention, but still the same result. [emoji29]
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExTrEmEe:
Yea same problem that i had, your power button i stucked, and it's always pressed, so when you insert battery phone recognize press and power on, and bootloop is caused by that button, when you hold power button for 10sec, phone will reboot, no matter where you are, it will reboot, so that's why you are getting bootloop.

Try this first, remove battery, and any protection case for phone, if you have. Smash power button on wooden table edge, or on anything else, but watch out don't hit it very hard as you can broke screen glass, but don't be too easy on it.

Keep trying this, it will help you, it's funny way, but i repaired my phone that way, and worked for me almost half year. Changed button 7 days ago, because it stucked again, and i didn't had tools to change it, so i opened the phone, and removed button completely. It fixed bootlooping but i could not enter download or recovery mode.

So try that smashing, and report results. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emannxperia:
[emoji4] [emoji3] [emoji2] [emoji1]

IT WORKS!!!

Thanks a lot.

Tried smashing the button 4-5 times, insert the battery, bootloop.

Tried smashing it 4-5 times, insert the battery, still bootloop.

Tried smashing it again 4-5 times, a bit harder, insert the battery, no automatic startup, press power button and yea, bootanimation appear, no more bootloop.

The culprit is the power button which appear to be okay but actually stuck and triggered all the time, causing the "bootloop symptom".

Thanks again.

I'm glad you fixed it. ;)

And one thing, don't rely too much now on that button, as it can broke again, try to not use it as much as you can. For example, you can install Xposed framework, and Double Tap To Sleep module, so when you double tap notification bar, it lock phone, or you can set gesture on custom launcher, like double tap on screen, to lock. For waking up, just use Home Button. Also good thing will be to remap your power button to, let's say long press Menu Key, so when you long press it, it will work like long pressing power button, or if you don't use menu key too much, you can set it to be power key. Here is simple module that allow you to do that, Xposed Additions

Help please!

So lately I've been flashing a lot of ROMS in my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300. Specifically Archidroid 3.0.2, I've reflashed it for about 10 consecutive times to try different configurations available in the Aroma installer. Suddenly, my phone is stock on a bootloop and I can't install AD anymore. everytime I tried, I always caught on bootloop. so as with CM11 M12.

Now I flashed the official firmware available on sam mobile via Odin. I still find my phone on bootloop whenever I reboot it. I have to remove my battery for a minute and put it back on to reboot successfully.

PROBLEM:

1. Bootloop! whenever I reboot my phone, install new rom or even recover from a backup. :confused:

2. Phone reboots when I play Clash of Clans or use FB with my data network, resulting to another bootloop. :confused:

Phone: SGS3 I9300

Current ROM: Official - JB 4.3 (downloaded from Sam mobile)

Previous ROM: Archidroid 3.0.2 - KK 4.4.4

thanks guys!

So is there any way that i can reset my device even a hard way or something

As computer Odin won't work as I can't connect my device to my PC

PLEASE I NEED HELP FROM PROS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperBommel:
Sorry, can't help you with the real problem, just an anwer to what you found about root access. It depends on the ROM. Either you can enable root access in the developer options (only visible if you clicked the build number in "settings"->"about phone" seven times) or you need to flash SuperSU. OK, too late now, but just in case you come around this issue again.

I don't know I tried some ways, but nothing resets the phone

i'm charging using a wireless charger that is great for me

And using custom recovery

That allows me to do what ever I want with my phone

And using Android to connect my phone to PC

And that was working great

til i used this CM12 crap

That needs manually enable root access

And the developer didn't mention this in the thread

So I installed superiors

And I think this destroyed my recovery or something

The only thing that is working is my downloading mode now

Tomorrow i will take it to some technical guys hope he can do it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExTrEmEe:
ahh, forgot about wireless charger. xD

i had broken power button, and also like you playing with roms, till moment when i screwed rom. So as i didn't had power button, only way to get into recovery or download mode was from system, but i could not boot system, so no recovery, no download mode, nothing. Then had to disassemble phone, and short out contacts where was power button connected, and after half an hour i suceeded, booted into recovery, reflashed system and everything worked, and also leason learned,

DO NOT play with flashing, if you have half working phone. xD

Is there any way for me to boot into the recovery mode without having to use the buttons?

Here's the thing:

I accidentally flashed the wrong kernel and now my device refuses to boot. I can fix this simply by going into the recovery mode and flash the proper kernel. But the problem is, the volume buttons no longer work and I can't go into the recovery mode without the buttons. I tried to reboot to recovery through adb when the screen goes black after the kernel boot logo, but the never responded. adb detected a device, but was not able to identify the device.

Is there any way around this? Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I purchased my Samsung SIII a few months ago, I rooted it shortly and got TWRP installed as a recovery and all has been running well as of late, however I recently wanted to install gravitybox, so I went to install the Xposed framework which suggested I backup first. So I went to backup my device first but to my surprise I could no longer access my recovery. The only way to access it is through rom manager through the boot into recovery option, rebooting and pressing volume down + power does nothing, however holding down + menu + power allows me to install a custom rom with thanks to ODIN which I believe installed when I used the all in one rootkit. I have tried to use the TWRP installer app however that did not work either, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my recovery back?
