hi. i have an 8125 and i was painting and fell from the ladder. i wasn't hurt all that much but the the screen on my 8125 cracked and now there is bleeding everywhere inside my screen.

does anyone know if i can replace the screen easily by myself or where i can even get a screen?

i think someone was going to sell me a broken MDA (screen good) and wondering if that screen would work for the 8125.

thank you.

Hi!

There was similar discussion some time ago:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=51395

Actually I broke my screen too this weekend :( I ordered replacement from ebay, such as this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140005879931

I am going to try to replace it by myself according to Wizard service manual. In my case only touch screen is damaged - not LCD, but it seems that these come as one unit. If I will find that these can be separated, I will have spare LCD part. In my case I have O2 XDA mini s - I do not know if lcd is the very same as in Cingular 8125 you have.

Gutted for you m8. Hope you manage to get hold of something cheap.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kristsp:
Update to my previous post - after much tinkering I was able to replace broken touchscreen of my mini-s.

Some notes:

According to Wizard service manual there are two LCD versions:

p/n 60H00032-00M - LCD Module, (LTP280QV-E01 Samsung)

p/n 60H00037-00M - LCD Module, (TD028STEB1 Toppoly)

It seems that these are not interchangeable but I might be wrong. I was trying to replace my 60H00032-00M with new 60H00037-00M (whole module with lcd & touchscreen), however it did not work - LCD switched on but was all white. Then I managed to separate touchscreen from new module and replace it with my broken one. Seems that it is working now. It is possible to replace just touchscreen but care must be taken not to break it and some very fine soldering must be done.

To theorist - if you want to replace LCD by yourself you should check for exact part number of your LCD and find similar one - that should work.

So now I have spare and useless for me 60H00037-00M LCD Module (LCD only without touchscreen) that probably is in working order as I suppose that it is just not compatible with my mini-s.

Not working on my note 3 (n9005 with kitkat NC2 stock deodexed rom)

The initial setup worked fine, the ad at the top refreshes and changes, but the menu button and all touch input inside the app does not work. Besides the status bar obviously. The back button works to exit though. Tried to capture a screenshot to show. 'Drm content is protected' or something like that. So i thought id write it down and try to explain why it doesnt work instead.

Very good idea. But the silly placement of the ad will make me not use this even when this is fixed. Let me know if i can help though, as i do see potential in this. As long as i can actually use it, and the ad is moved off the main screen. I dont know where else to suggest you put it, as i cannot use the app to look around currently.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Elv13:
Hello,

First of all, sorry for not posting in an existing thread, but this forum prevent users with less than 10 messages to post to the dev forum (where all the relevant threads seem to be). So here we go. Last year (yes, I am lazy) I hard bricked my S3. I had CyanogenMod 4.2, but some google play update soft-broked Android (apps using GooglePlay service would crash on startup). So I tried to upgrade, but the recovery said I had to update the firmware first for some reasons. I looked at XDA, looked at the "System info" page from the setting, it said the model number was SGH-T999, so I took this image and flashed it. The phone would not do anything anymore. I later found out that the model number from the setting page is incomplete and I had in fact an SGH-T999v.

Now absolutely nothing happen, no LEDs when charging, no screen, so circuit noise when I put my ear close, nothing. Over the last few months I tried to find someone with the right JTAG, but had no luck (I haven't found one, and the eBay price is simply not worth it). I tried this before ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439367&nocache=1 ) with no luck.

Looking at the forum, I havn't found any solution (there is a lot of signal to noise ration when searching for "hard brick"). So as you might have guessed if you read to this point, is there a way to unbrick the thing?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Plug into the computer. If it says QHSUSB, or something to that effect, only jtag, or the method you linked above will work. From what I can tell you need to use a debrick image that is the same or newer than the firmware you are running. If you had updated to 4.3 firmware, only an image made from a device running 4.3 will work. And the sd must be at least 16gb, preferably class 6 or 10.

Also, make sure the batrery is charged still. It can drain fast when trying to fix it.

(If the debrick image is good, it should charge while turned off).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Elv13:
Thanks for replaying, here is the dmesg:

I see there is a "DLOAD" string, Is there anything good in that. How do I know if I am in download mode if the screen doesn't open and adb doesn't see it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you see the QHSUSB_DLOAD, it means its bricked. Only a jtag repair or the debrick method in development section will fix.

Look in device manager on the computer, does it have the QHSUSB DLOAD there?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Elv13:
I already know it is bricked ;) I have no doubts about that

I use linux, so dmesg is as close as I can get to a device manager, lsusb also show

Whan you say "jtag or debrick method in development section will fix.", if that method the link I mentioned above. I have tried with a 16gb class 10 sd card. What is supposed to happen. My naive guess would have been than adb would list the device, but it doesn't
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Elv13:
just to be sure I did this:

badblocks -s -w -t 0xff /dev/sdc

before flashing the rom using dd. It didn't worked. I also plugged my scope on the 2 pins on the back (I guess they are to "download" the raw radio signal) and nothing happen when I press the vol down + home + poweron buttons. At least no noise my scope can detect.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
When you have the debrick method working, you should be able to at least boot download mode, possibly recovery and system as well.

Id try again, with a different sd card if possible. Otherwise youll probably have to send it somewhere for jtag.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Elv13:
ok, last question. There is 2 images

I picked the "not for 4.3" one. Before the brick, I had 4.2.2. But I tried to upgrade to the newer firmware to upgrade to 4.4. Did I picked the right image (as a mater of fact, I already tried both, but I am curious)? I have no other SD card to test with, so I guess it is time to consider being lazy and sending the thing to jtag

Thanks for your help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You mean you were on 4.1.2 right? If so, the first should work, unless, when you attempted to update to 4.3 it wrote the 4.3 bootloader. Like I said though, id try again. 1st with the 4.1.2 image, then with the 4.3 image.

Also, one of the canadian carriers has 2 4.3 builds out. If you are with this carrier, the first 4.3 image likely would not work on the latest build. This probably wont apply since you bricked while on 4.1.2 and havent been able to boot at all since then.

It's your call if you want to send it for jtag repair, its not cheap though. Maybe someone will let you borrow another sd card?

---------- Post added at 04:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

Just reread your op. Did the brick occur when you tried to flash the T999 firmware? How did you ago about trying to update? I only ask because odin shouldnt have tried to flash when it detected your model was not the T999.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Elv13:
Maybe ODIN cannot detect the difference between T999 and T999v? I was on Android 4.2 (CyanogenMod 10.** nightly), the last build before they forced users to upgrade to the newer firmware. I was trying to install KitKat. Yes, I tried to flash the T999 firmware on a T999v, the device shut down to never give a sign of life again. I was aware of my mistake a few minute later... At first I wanted to try to JTag it myself, but I haven't found anyone with a Riff JTAG so far and 200$ is more expansive then the phone itself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Odin should detect all variants. Im really surprised it bricked your phone as it should have failed at the md5sum check. I checks the bootloader version in download mode, so it wouldnt matter what rom you have. Were you using an older version such as 1.85?

Another option is if you have insurance. Still expensive, but less than $200.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PhillyKing:
Thank you!!!! Soooooo much! I at least got my phone to boot and Odin was able to see it. I still have more to do but it's progress! I should've finish doing this before ordering a JTag but I'm sure it'll come in handy in the future.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhunzi10:
Hi everyone,

I got a live demo unit Galaxy S5 (g900x) from work, and I've never used a Samsung for rooting / flashing purpose before. I was wondering if I could in fact flash a stock rom, and root the device, in order to use it as a full multimedia device ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
If Samsung continued the demo unit path as per the Galaxy S4 then the S5 demo units will be missing important hardware components, a physical connection between the Sim port and the system board being one of them. It was impossible to use an S4 demo unit as a phone for example. It was also impossible to flash a standard stock rom without the device refusing to boot, the partition table was also different.

Of course, this all might not be the case with the S5 demo units and they might simply be stock units with a modified firmware. But, if not, you have little more than a small tablet on your hands.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhunzi10:
Thank you for your answer, I knew I couldn't use as a phone, but at least I wanted it as, like you said, a small tablet. The problem is the retail mode app that keeps launching itself and wiping the device, even if I disabled it. That's why I was hoping to flash a stock rom or at least root the device.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Definitely sounds like a similar situation to the S4 demo units, I remember they would wipe anything on the data partition on every boot. I'm not sure if the issue was ever overcome.

Check out the following post, not sure if it could be applied to the S5 model.

Do not flash a stock rom on it because most probabably you will end up in bootlooping

Try this (PLEASE BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE FLASHING)

-root it with CF auto root

-make a nandroid backup (THIS IS ESSENTIAL) of everything

-maintain pit, modem and bootloader files from the demo rom (from your backup) and pick other parts from a stock rom (european open rom will do)

-flash all parts with odin

-now you should have a full working mini tablet without gsm and gps signal

This method is similar to the one used on Galaxy Note 3 and i think it will work, just do the backup before for safety and i'm nor responsible from any damaged caused

Let me know

Hello guys..

i'll make it as short as possible

entering PIN for WPS enabled network isn't possible in any ROM except for HyperNonSense ICS Rom..

although this ROM is super fast, but I still need to be able to do it on the new kitkat ROMs, does it need to be implemented by the ROM maker?

can't I add this feature maybe by flashing a zip file or with Xposed framework or an app or something ?

if it needs to be implemented by ROM makers, it will be so much appreciated from developers to add it , this is a wish not a request ;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzeeboy:
Hi there I have a I9300 (International Version) of S3

So I'm just getting straight to the point

I had bought a s3 from a private seller from ebay and it was running 4.1.2.

I have a bit of experience in using Odin and I had downloaded some UK BTU android 4.3 version from sammobile.com which I usually use to update my phone.

But today if went wrong

I never did root because I never did like it and never made an efs backup

I had flashed I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md5 file to my phone and everything went perfectly fine

BUT THEN!

I tried calling some of my friends and I noticed that my sim wasn't being recognised

It didn't take long until I realised that my IMEI number had been to some random 0049***** number (I had found out that this was generic and was'nt my real IMEI Number)

I had then checked the IMEI number on the back of the phone and it did not match what was said in my phone settings

I have now clocked that it was the 4.3 android which was screwing me up

I have never installed any custom roms .etc and have only ever installed official ones from sammobile

So why would my phone's EFS get f***ed up and I also did'nt do any in Odin like phone efs clear

My phone had also ran out of warranty so I can't play dumb either

I have researched and found that it is possible to edit the nv_data file.etc like on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804117

I have also tried downgrading but now odin wont allow but probably has something to do with samsung (downgrading policy)

I have also NOW made a backup of my efs folder and my phone is fully functional but my IMEI AND my SERIAL NUMBER was changed

Be honest do I have a realistic chance of recovering my phone or would I have to shell out of repairs and if so how much would it cost?

Sorry for the wrong link.

Maybe this?

- Try to reflash latest 4.3 for your country (this will most likely solve the issue if your efs is not broken)

- You can also try the methods in the link (there are many)

In my limited experience; downgrading to 4.1.2 after 4.3 gave me bootloop and it can't read efs2 (from 4.3)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Izzard-UK:
Hi all. My friend and I have swapped our phones. He wanted something more pocket-friendly and more like a phone, whereas I wanted something with a bigger screen to sling in my bag - so it seems like a good compromise.

However, the way the Universal handles power/standby and the backlight seems quite different and it's baffling me. I'd appreciate some help getting my head around it.

On my Wizard, after I'd got it all figured out, I would just pull it out of my pocket and press the power button on the top to instantly turn the display and backlight on and see what was on the screen. Then I'd press the button again to turn the display and backlight off and put it back in my pocket. While in my pocket like this, all buttons except the power button were locked, yet it would still receive calls and get my e-mails and texts: ideal. If I wanted to shut the whole thing down I would *hold* the power button and it would shut down completely.

Now I've got the Universal. Pressing the power button seems to have the same effect, but holding it now turns the backlight off. Here are my questions:

1) Why would you want to do that?

2) Why is there a separate backlight button too, if holding the power button toggles the backlight?

3) How can I turn the device fully off (apart from removing the battery temporarily)?

4) How do you generally use *your* Universal? Do you just close the screen and toss it in a bag/pocket? Or do you leave it in tablet mode and press the power button?

Thanks for any thoughts!
