[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Then I guess your phone is busted then bro, eh ?

Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, find it, download the 3 part firmware linked in the thread, flash that (which will wipe your phone), then flash stock firmware for your country/carrier again & go from there.

If that doesn't work, I recommend you download as many different stock roms as you can & keep flashing them. If it isn't a case of NAND corruption, you'll fix it by persevering, if it is then you're getting a motherboard replacement or a new phone.

If you had checked the download link on the site to which you are directing people, or read other postings on the topic, you would know that the download link is still, at the time I'm writing this, for the old ROM. Someone jumped the gun at Cingular and HTC will not be posting the ROM until Monday.

Actually the properties for the download link indicate the new ROM and not the old 1.8. The file is corrupted. End of story.

I am trying to get my nexus 7 2013 setup to use as my new headunit that will interface with my car stereo.

So I am using ElementalX version 2.9

My setup is as follows

OTG Cable>Stock Nexus7 charging cord>Startech 4port USB hub>USB DAC Behringer UCA222 plugged into usb hub >Powering this usb hub for my test is usb cable to power source

Having it setup like this The usb is powered and my nexus 7 is also charging. BUT the USB Dac behringer uca222 does not power on.

If I unplug usb dac from usb hub, and plug the dac into the usb port on OTG cable then the usb dac will power on. Also the USB Hub still has power.

BUT now the nexus 7 will not charge.

WHen I test to see if I can play music from nexus 7 through usb dac to car radio nothing happens, only music is coming from nexus 7.

So am I missing something or doing something wrong?

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Wrong question. Here's the right one:

[Q] Using the Internet, is it possible to search for the answer to a question that has been asked (and answered) dozens if not hundreds of times already?

[A] Yes it is! In fact, it's actually the number one rule of this forum to do so!
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Oh, a few other important points for you:

1) There is no such thing as "windows8 phone" (is your Shift key broken or something?) or even "Windows 8 Phone". It's called Windows Phone 8. (The OS family in general is called Windows Phone. It has very little to do with the OS family called Windows, although the next version of each is expected to bridge that gap somewhat.)

2) You are not on the forum for Windows Phone 8. You are on the forum for Windows 8. They are almost completely different things.

3) There is actually a forum on XDA for WP8. In fact, it's easier to find than this one...

4) Your question has been asked and answered many times there alone (to say nothing of the many other places around the Web). Short version: NO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] miamimuffin:
I just picked up an S4 SGH-i337. It is running 4.3.

I tried rooting it with the Lokifyed tool. It installed Superuser, but I don't think it rooted the phone because I could not install SuperSU and it could not install CWM either.

After that did not work, I tried using Odin with Chainfire auto-root, but it kept on failing.

I tried using Odin to put the stock firmware unroot file and failed too.

Sometimes it will shut off when I plug it in.

Any ideas on getting my phone to work?

Incorrect, you flash safe strap then there is another file posted by shabbypenguin

I'll get you the links to the forums that have everything one I get home, I'm running errands with my dad right now.

by the way I successfully Flashed deadly venom, but what you had to do is flash the venom Rom and Thenusing the deadly venoms magic tool, also flash the MDL zip file and lastly I had to flash 3 MDL files using Odin. So I flashed a 4.4.2 Rom on 4.3 mk2 and was still able to get to the custom recovery.

I tried to flash shostock and it doesn't load also the first time I flashed it, I flashed it in the stock Rom profile instead of the other profiles, It got stuck in an infinite boot loop going from SS to the stock recovery then back to SS

Give me a few hours and I'll figure out how to flash shostock after I help you fix your phones stuck booting process, I'm running errands with my dad but I should be home soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mejakola:
ok so you have safestrap installed good, now check this forum out and you need to flash this as well before flashing shostock.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291956

then im still trying to figure out how to flash shostock ill get back to you as soon as i find out how. im not sure if we need to use deadly venom magic tool or not...

next question, is your phone working at all? did you flash shostock in the stock profile or did you create another and flash it in like the rom 1 profile?

if your phone isnt working at all meaning you cant get it to fully boot but it still turns on and tries to boot, then you may have to Odin back to mk2. or whatever you had before.

if you want to go ahead and flash back to mk2 or mf3 stock heres some instructions.

you need Odin on your computer. you can find it by googleing it or it is in deadly venoms magic tool

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2680868

all you need from the magic tool is odin and the configuration file which are right next to each other.

i suggest using peazip to extract rar files btw...

peazip.sourceforge.net/peazip-portable.html

then you can find the stock files here

mf3, (4.2.2 the tar file download)

mk2 (4.3)

on the 4.3 thread, at the end of post 2 there is actually a dowload for odin availible.

now just flash it back. P.s. this WILL wipe your phone completely, if you dont have titanium backup, i strongly suggest getting it from the app store afterwards

hit the thanks button if i helped you, it'll be my second thanks.

Please do a lot more reading as your above incorrect statement will cause problems for anybody trying to install any recovery other than SafeStrap for MK2 based firmwares.

no i am not booting into cwm, i start the phone (yes sgh-i337 at&t usa locked bootloader, 4.3 mk2, rooted,)

so from power off i start the phone, get the custom unlock screen or the samsung galaxy s4 screen it vairies at times, then the next screen i get is not the swirling samsung screen, instead what i get is a screen saying safestrap is disabled (if stock boot option is active) or saying safestrap is enabled (if custom rom slot is active). then at the bottom left there is a button to go to the safestrap recovery,

on the bottom right there is a button to continue booting the phone, upon pressing continue, (or waiting 10 seconds for it to do so automatically) the swirling samsung boot appears followed by the at&t logo and sound effects..

if i press recovery then it brings me into the SS recovery where i flashed the shabby penguing cwm zip file...

so are you saying that after i flashed that file that we should be going to a different recovery alltogether and safestrap would be disabled? and a version of cwm enabled?

There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions. Idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself

I don't actually have the GS3 unfortunately, but in order to make XDA a better place, I thought I'd open up a help thread for those who need it. I won't be able to give S3 specific help, but I can help in terms of general questions. Hopefully some of the experienced S3 help out on this thread, because it'd make everything easier. Thanks!

First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.

Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in post no2, you might find what you need right away.

For ROM issues please do mention in your post about:

ROM name

ROM version and base

kernel version and its settings

any mods applied on top of it

flashing "style" aka dirty or clean

something like this

...and be sure you have asked before on the ROM thread unless you have less than 10 posts on XDA

Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read threads in post no2 (coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.

ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.

No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! No question is stupid in this thread.

Hey guys, i'm sort of a noob on these forums so any help would be great!

I've had previous experience with rooting because of my S2, no problems at all. I got my s3 about a month ago and I've been trying to figure out how to root it. It's a GT-I9300T ( Australian model ). It has a lot of Vodafone bloatware, however it's unlocked as i'm using an Optus sim card. I've also read that there aren't many differences between the international model and the T model, so any international ROM should work fine. It's running 4.3. I've read about how KNOX is built into 4.3 and makes rooting difficult by blocking the installation of custom Roms and disabling superSu. I'm not sure if i have Knox though, because i don't have a KNOX app installed; there are no KNOX related apps installed on my phone ( according to the all section of my applications manager ) and it says nothing about the KNOX counter in download mode. Is KNOX still present on my phone, and will i be able to install customs roms?

Also, what would be the best method of rooting? I have tried the saferoot method by Mrw0lf on YouTube, which is made not to trigger Knox. I've read about CF root and other methods involving Odin, have not tried any yet because i'm scared of bricking my phone. Any help or link would be helpful. Also, if something goes wrong; would i be able to flash a stock 4.3 ROM onto my phone using Odin? I'm downloading it now from sammobile and i was wondering if flashing anything through Odin would cause problems.

Lastly, is there a way to backup my EFs before rooting? I can't find them through the default file explorer and the folder is empty in 3rd party ones. I can't seem to find them when i go through my phone on my computer, i just want a backup before i try to root.

Anyway, vital phone info:

Model: GT-I9300T

Version: 4.3

Sorry for the long post, but any help would be cool. Also, i'm not that good with all the technical things behind rooting such as CSCs, basebands and such, so any simple explanation would be nice :)

Thank you! :fingers-crossed:
