Please halp

S3 problems, oh man have I got them.

So i decided to root/flash the old one click cyanogenmod to my s3.

To my despair it will no longer connect to any computer i try it on. Through multiple driver installs and uninstalls, of kies and the standalone drivers... nothing.

Through a factory reset, nothing. I completely uninstalled my usb root hub and it still wont show up, i used 3 different cables and it still wont show up. It charges and that's it, MTP or not, still nothing.

I stayed up angrily repeatedly ****ing around with this until 2am yesterday.

Im starting to lose my mind, please help D:

Have you tried reflashing the stock ROM and see if the issue still persists?

Edit - In fact, if ODIN still sees your device in download mode, it may be the ROM that's preventing you from connecting through your device in MTP or other modes.

question

hey everyone, first i would like to say thank you for this site it has helped me with many questions

so here is a few more i would really like some help with.

my son and i has bought I9305 lte, we bought them second hand of a guy there only 5 months old

but we would like to root them as i rooted my wife and daughter's sg2 thanks again to this site.

But from what i have read they are far more difficult because of knox.

so here is my question? knox only will void my warranty right but because i bought this phone second hand

would i still have a waranty anyway?

question 2 if knox is not a big deal where would be the best place to start?

Besides screen redraws which have driven me nuts, sometimes when i exit an app (usually the browser), the shadow under the icons is gone for like half a second and it reapears, it's like the home screen is almost ready to redraw.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeevanreddy58:
Status 7 error installation aborted

Please go thorough this

Step 1. Copy the ROM zip file to your computer and extract it using your favorite unzipping software.

Step 2. Once unzipped, browse to the META-INF/com/google/android directory. You will find two files called “update-binary” and “updater-script”.

Step 3. open updater-script with your favorite text file editor(EditPadLite7).

Step 4. Get rid of the line starting with “assert” to next semi-colon. Usually this is the first line or one of the first lines at the top of the text file.(starting line should be mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "/system"); )

Step 5. Save file.

Step 6. Rezip all the files you’ve unzipped.

Step 7. Copy the new, edited zip file to your phone.

Step 8. Try re-installing ROM, now it should install fine without Status 7 error.

Now u may get bypass set_metadata_xxx fails error.

To fix this

VZN Galaxy S3 switched to MetroPCS: "This SIM card is from an unknown source"

Hi guys,

I've spent the better part of two hours scouring the web for an answer to this one and so far no joy. Since switching my Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535) from Verizon to MetroPCS I have had an error message in the notification bar. It reads:

Phone activation

This SIM card is from an unknown source

I gather this is due to the VZN firmware but can find no way of getting it removed. My dad also purchased a VZN Galaxy S3 and he is using it for another carrier (AT&T), as well. He, too, is getting the same error notification. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, but man is it annoying.

Both phones are running Android 4.4.2 (KitKat). Neither is currently rooted. Is there any way to fix this?

Videotron to Koodo - unlock code problem

Moved from one province to another. Have an S3 I am trying to network unlock. My wife is in the same boat but with an S4. Hers wen off without a hitch (insert new carrier sim card, boot, enter unlock code, done) so I have no reason to believe the site I got the code from is shady.

I am running CM 11-20140805-SNAPSHOT-M9-d2lte. When I did the procedure, network unlock unsuccessful appeared. Been going back and forth with code supplier but no result yet. I cannot access the service menu as the *#197etc... and myriad other codes for it do not work. Not sure what else to include in this plea for help.

While I can't be sure, I have a feeling that going to my old provider to get the code will just net me getting the exact same code for even more money than I've already spent so not really keen on that.

S3 lost root, can't root and can't connect to pc

Okay, I am getting sick of this. Every phone I have always has a problem. My Gs3's battery connection had a problem but that's fine. I can live with it. And now my s3 lost its root?!?! I tried to root back using doin but my stupid computer won't even detect my s3!!!

I remember I spent like 1 hour trying to install Samsung USB driver. At first it failed then it didn't say anymore when I tried to install so I'm guessing it must have installed but upon checking "device manager" on my Windows 7 64 bit, I couldn't find anything about the driver and searching it everywhere else doesn't seem to be there. What's the problem? It was the same computer I used to root but back then it was only windows xp. Then I upgraded to Windows 7.

Now for no computer roots. Only 2 I know is framaroot and towelroot.

Framaroot didnt root anything. I chose install supersu and pressed aragon. It says success and i had to reboot my phone but when I did supersu wasn't installed and root checker said my phone wasn't rooted.

Towelroot was just a big fail. I tried the standard method and it says it isn't supported for my phone. I tried the mod string and changed it for Samsung phones. This works for alot of people with s3 but it's just so frustrating that only mine doesn't work. It reboots straight away, no supersu and root checker says not rooted

For those lazy people who don't want to read that huge story here are the questions.

=-how can I fix my s3 not getting detected by my computer?

-tried reinstalling kies and Samsung USB drive but still doesn't work.

=-towelroot and framaroot doesn't work on my phone.

-framaroot says success but still not rooted

-tried all modstrings for towelroot but still doesn't work and no root.

Hello everybody,

I have an Samsung galaxy s3 (I9300), and its getting hella slow and the battery life is way to short.

So i came across a youtube video with some one who was talking about CyanogenMod 11, Now i have some questions about this.

First of all , Can i use this?

I live in The Netherlands and i have a contract at T-mobile. I had it replaced due to a cracked screen so there is no T-mobile stuff on the phone. It's like a standard phone straight from samsung.

Is it faster and better then the stock version that all S3's have?

Is it hard to do?

I have flashed my ipod once with succes and i have flashed a old windows phone with succes.

and can you link the stuff that i need to download and an instruction or video so i have the things i need for MY phone.

Hi Guys,

A few years ago I knew how to put custom software on my SGS2. A year ago I upgraded to an SGS3 i9305 4G. However, I'm tired of the standard firmware. My battery lasts about 6 hours unless I install a battery saver.

So, I'd really like to install a GOOD custom ROM (I can't even remember if that's the right name for it). By good I mean fast, no bloat ware, and excellent battery life.

My phone is rooted with CWM but that's it. I can use ODIN if the instructions are clear, but really can't remember what else I need to know to get good custom software on the phone. Consider me a newbie.

Can someone recommend the a suitable custom software package, and include some basic, Clear instructions for how to install it??

Much appreciated!:D
