Checking if USB Debugging is available is just a matter of going to Settings > Developer Options and then looking for a tick mark checked near the option that reads "USB Debugging."

Unfortunately, I cannot speak for root on the Straighttalk SIII being as that I do not own the device (rather I own the Verizon variant). However, a quick forum search might turn up some results...

EDIT: It appears that there is something called "Cydia Impactor" that takes advantage of a couple bugs found in previous versions of android. According to other threads with talk about it, it seems that it works in general for gaining root. Source: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47412631&postcount=7. Note: Do install a superuser manager on your device right after obtaining root (assuming you gain it) as you don't want everything to have root access!

As for ROMs, what I stated above holds true for these as well. In theory, with an unlocked bootloader (if you have one), then flashing roms is only a matter of checking compatibility with your phone. But I'll save the details about that for now...

The stock keyboard didn't work out for me either. However on Google Play, you can download more keyboards that may prove to be more convenient for you!

As for signal strength, I am currently unaware of any way to actually boost it... However, I do agree that the signal strength I get on my SIII is slightly weaker compared some of the other phones on the market out there, but with a call to Verizon, you may be able to get a signal booster.

Hope that helps

okay, I found the debugging check mark .-. thanks

I have looked but, most of them are not the same model. I wanna be safe than sorry besides ive looked at 2-5 forums and they had to be plugged up to a computer. id rather have a simple root in area.

about the bootloader how can I tell if its locked or unlocked? if its locked how can I unlock it?

im not using the stock keyboard. ive downloaded 4 keyboards and they are the same as the original keyboard....its either im typing to fast or the phone dislikes me in every way.

funny story.....

Last night it was storming in st.louis large hail, heavy rain, thunder and lighting etc....well I was having a deep conversation with someone and the power was off/my battery only had 30% left and the last thing she said was "I don't want you to go :(" then I tried sending a kik message back and it wouldn't send or anything....I tried calling someone and hears what the guy said auto message "your phone as been deactivated" I was like "WEEEEELL aint this funny and very convenient" so I was gonna go to walmart then it started hailing again and I got pelted by penny sized hail...dude they may seem small but they hurt like heck! :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Do NOT try to unlock your phone as it WILL hard brick! I am saying this from personal experience. You will have to spend $50 for a JTAG repair.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] metalcorpse99:
Well I won't :D:D:D but, no one has told me how to root my phone yet.....how do I root with out plugging it in to a computer? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
Hmm, upon some searching, I found something called "Framaroot" that one can install on a phone (it's an app) in hopes of achieving root access. It supposedly executes various exploits to get SuperSu and the su binary loaded. Anyways, while our S3s are not exactly listed as compatible, the author does mention that if the phone share a similar processor, it may be compatible.

For rooting the sch-s968c samsung galaxy s3 from straight talk, and everything on roms this is the link you want. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2516498

Cydiaimpactor method does work. that is how I rooted mine. Works great. I haven't played with roms yet because I have not found the need. But these guys over at that link are playing around finding out what works and what does not.

As far as rooting without the computer I have not seen a way yet. But the cydiaimpactor method takes 4 to 5 seconds, and is very very simple.

There is not a lot more info I can give you because there is not a lot of info in the rooting world about the sch-s968c. If you find anything please share!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
Hope ya get it rooted. You could try poot also.. Need no computer and it claims to root all/most QualCom devices. Just know that anything could happen while modding the phone and if stuff were to go down it would take a computer to recover if you did hit worse case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Klown80:
Impactor is by far the quickest easiest way if you know what you are doing and have access to a PC. However if no access to PC try framaroot as suggested. Go to the framaroot thread here on xda and look for the download link in first post. If you read the first post it tells you the newest version out, always read first instead of expecting to be spoonfed or just jumping in this unprepared. Install the app on your phone and run it. If it fails then you need to find a computer to use Impactor

Hope this helps!

Is there any path I can take from NB1 to somehow restore using TWRP? Is safestrap an option? Sorry for my ignorance...just didn't expect to have a custom recovery / os any other way but using the loki patch.

You need to have mdl, 4.2.2, firmware order to use Loki and custom recovery and kernels. So, yes you can't go back to the setup you had before.

Hi there,

Recently I have charged my phone into lorry (V24) and then some day my phone stopped charging correctly. Now I cannot turn on phone at all as the last message I saw was "your phone is using more current than the charger is able to deliver.' What that supposed to mean ?

I have tried different chargers, I even bought a brand new battery and cover.. but that didn't work either.

I have had similar issue a half year ago it was a red triangle (locked or something) I managed to get off that triangle and my phone started charging again without any problem. But this time I don't have anything..

What could be problem ? How to sort it out ?

Regards
[HTC Incredible S] eddyys:
anyone ?
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Basically, it means that the phone is using more electricity than it is getting from the charger. Put in another term, its like a car is being filled with fuel and driving at the same time, but the car consumes fuel at a faster rate than it is filling at.

Are you using stock charger? Shouldn't be your battery or cover. Which ROM are you using? The red triangle is a totally different issue :)
[HTC Incredible S] eddyys:
Before the accident in lorry, everything was fine, I was using the same wall charger.. I even tried different chargers, (wall, laptop etc.) but none of them worked.I am using original HTC charger.

I believe it's something about electric shock, like when I charged in a lorry something went wrong and phone had more current than usual, so phone now thinks he doesn't get enough electricity to charge up.

I don't now which ROM, but I believe it's the newest, well one version before the newest.

Yes the red triangle is different issue, but in first place I had same issue when I charged into lorry I have had red triangle, but now I don't have anything..
[HTC Incredible S] :
I had this issue twice !

it was the USB connector which was broken

I found it in Ebay for ~3$ and it takes ~20mn to change.

there are videos tutorial ;)
[HTC Incredible S] eddyys:
Could you tell me please what exactly you had as issue?

Is there any way how to check if it's USB connector problem ?
[HTC Incredible S] :
easy

when I plug the cable, the orange/green led doesn't flash nore the sub storage, plus you have to "play" with the connector to make it works.

I did the test with severals usb cable before.
[HTC Incredible S] eddyys:
Hi,

I have changed the port, but still phone doesn't charge ... what could be the problem ?
[HTC Incredible S] Mohammad Hashir:
Assalam o Alaikum,

I also have the same issue, my IncS was not in use for more than 2 or 3 months, today I wanted to use it but It was not powering on so I plugged it to the charger, the small red light on the phone lit up, after 1 hour I tried to power it on but it didn't, so I pulled the battery out and charged it with the Desktop charger for half hour, put the battery back in the phone and again tried to power it on but still it didn't power on, again charged the phone with the charger but It is not powering on.. Also not going into Bootloader.. :(

Please HELP..!!!

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question, if I were to unlock and root my device would this void my warranty completely or is it only in certain situations? What happens if I put it back to original stock then send it in? Or is it a "Oh you unlocked it well now your screwed" type of deal?

Thanks

Kevin
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juvenall:
There really isn't a clear answer to this one, honestly. Over the years, I've sent hacked devices back without anyone caring, and I've had them sent back as "Modified, Won't Fix". It really comes down to factors like the OEM, their relationship with the carrier (Motorola replaced my water damaged Xoom because my Verizon rep got on the phone and ordered them to), the extent of the repair needed, and even the individual tech that ends up with your ticket. That said, my general experience has been as long as the ticket isn't directly related to unlocking, then they'll be cool with whatever. For example, a friend sent back his customized S3 after the power button became loose and I had the same issue with my wife's old HTC Eris back in the day.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 533y4:
Ok. So rooted my Note 3 in Oct and ROMd in Jan with XNote 7. I had it all fine and everything since. Well, I upgraded to XNote 12 and realized I couldn't receive calls and a few other weird annoying bugs. So I attempted to downgrade back to MJ5 using the Restore tutorial in the General section.

Alright, well I did the whole tutorial I Heimdalled the MI9_Fix.img.ext4 file and then started flashing the ZIPs. I did the SEC_CSC then I tried the 2400845 and it failed with a message about system/vender/lib.camerafilter.whatever.so couldn't be found and quit. I figured it was normal so and now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo with a padlock. It will go into recovery and Odin mode fine.

It also deleted my Safestrap. So I cannot get into SS recovery. I have tried the tutorial again and now Heimdall quits with error 87 and something about a I/O error.

I have also tried to Odin the MJ5 stock flash files (AP, BL, CP and PIT) but it does nothing. I cannot install a ROM and cannot use my phone.

I desperately need my phone for work, so if someone can help me out ASAP, so I don't lose my job, I would be SO grateful! THANK YOU!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posersk8r:
do the procedure again and follow it to the letter as i can see you can still get to dl mode, btw you're supposed to flash the sec_csc and 240058 AFTER you flash the system.img with heimdall.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 533y4:
I can do the ODIN part, then when I try the Heimdall part, it comes up with an error. I have tried it 5 times over. To a T... : (

And yes, I know you flash those BEFORE. That's what I meant to say, but I was in a rush...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroishi11:
Im in a similar pickle but my problem is that I need a way to get those files to the SD card because the thing is bricked. I can't copy the files to a bricked phone and every device in my house refuses to read the micro SD card.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
That's the problem right there. Over in my thread about the kitkat update fix people are saying it's not working for them but they are missing steps because they're not reading everything. I've used that method 3 times so far and it worked all 3 times. Start from the beginning. Delete all the files from previous attemtps, go to step 1, read everything, you will get it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 533y4:
Again, I have done this 5 times. No joke. I have redownloaded everything 3 times.

1) Download and install Heimdall from here for windows. You'll need this and this to avoid missing .dll file errors

2) Download the following files;

MI9_fix.img.ext4

https://mega.co.nz/#F!icMTnSQY!bMBNFmUnn2_K8olSTYpwIA (mirror provided by drakeymcmb)

sec_csc.zip

rldv.zip

2400258.zip

Put everything except for the system.img on your external SD card

3) Download and install the MJ5 partions. Use Odin to flash these files (match the file names with the different upload slots)

AP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip

BL_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip

CP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip

HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit

4) Now is the time to use Heimdall.

Reboot into Download Mode once Odin finishes.

Install the vcredist packages downloaded from step 1.

unzip the heimdall .zip file to c:/

go to c:/Heimdall Suite/Drivers and click on zadig.exe

click the middle menu button to select "Show All Devices"

from the dropdown, select MSM8960

click the "install driver" button.

you should see a success message

5) Navigate on your computer to c:/Heimdall Suite/ and open heimdall-frontend.exe.

IMPORTANT -- Go to the Utilities tab and click the "Detect" button

Go to the Flash tab on Heimdall, click Browse and select the HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit file downloaded from step 3

Click the 'add' button, then next to 'partition name' select system from the dropdown.

click the Browse button underneath the dropdown, and select the MI9_fix.img.ext4 image you downloaded from step 2.

6) Click Start. ***I usually check the 'No Reboot' box to prepare for booting into recovery

THIS IS WHERE I CAN NO LONGER GO ANY FURTHER!!! IT SPITS A I/O ERROR 87 AT THIS POINT! I CANNOT GET AROUND THIS! THIS IS WHAT I NEED HELP WITH!

7) Heimdall and your Note will report a bad flash at around 95% -- but don't worry -- your system.img got uploaded Reboot directly into recovery mode.

8) Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the sec_csc.zip you downloaded earlier (did you remember to put that file on your external SD card?). This will install the CSC files and run the preload checkin so you don't FC all over the place

9) IMPORTANT--After flashing the sec_csc, the Note will reboot.

Try to catch it in time to reboot BACK into recovery

Once in recovery, select "Choose update from external" in the recovery, and select the 2400258.zip you downloaded earlier.

This will give you a stock MJ5 system. You can choose to stop here if you don't want to root.

10) Extract rldv.zip to the root of your internal sdcard (NOTE **my script removes Knox apps). Reboot, then once SuperSu installs, Reboot again.

This leaves you with a rooted MJ5 device.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
