hello,

my android was acting weird last week, apps acting weird, rebooted on its own many times. i have 4.1.2 on a tmobile gs3 that i no longer have service on (wifi only). i checked and there was an update.

downloaded the 350 mb update. install failed and it said it was going back to the original OS version. i tried updating again. it downloaded the update all over again. install failed again. said it was going back to original OS version but i don't think it finished.

now it won't boot. there are usually 3 boot screens... Galaxy S3 screen, Samsung screen, and android blastoff. my phone gets to the first galaxy s3 screen, then reboots. if i let it, it will show the screen, reboot and repeat until the battery dies. i have to take the battery out to stop it.

i have not tried to reset it yet because i have data i would like to get off of it.

1) is there a chance of getting data off?

2) will i at least be able to use the phone again?

3) what do i do/who do i take it to? i don't have a reliable computer right now to do any diagnostics. my phone was my computer. :(

i am in the los angeles area if you have any suggestions as to any good places to take my sick phone. :(

thanks in advance. :)

jane

I accidently flashed a MetrocPCS LG Optimus F6 (LG MS500) with F3 firmware.

Now when i try to turned on the phone the backlight blinks twice and the colours around the home button blinks different colours.

When I try to connect in download mode it does the same thing and then the home button blinks red- it is not recognized by KDZ_FW_UPD.

Master Reset does not work either

[Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437 Questions & Answer] charliemopps:
I'll skip all the details but I bought a very nice, very expensive phone from china that ended up only connecting at edge speeds. It supported the correct frequencies but they were swapped, its data freq was voice on my carrier and vice versa. I switched carriers 3x to no avail. In desperation I just ran to walmart and bought a Galaxy Express i437 then sent the Chinese phone back at a loss.

Well, big mistake. The phones great, it suits my needs though it was a bit expensive. But AT&Ts network is complete **** where I live. I can't receive calls in my own house! I've it flashed with the latest version of Cyanogen... which actually helped my signal... but its still not enougn..

1. Can I switch to another carrier? Sprint seems to have a good network here according to the maps and people I've talked to.

2. Where can I find info on frequencies. I'm a pretty technical guy but I am baffled by these frequencies. I don't want to get stranded with no phone for another week and I dont want to blow another $300 on a phone that may or may not work!

3. Do I need to do anything to "jailbreak" my phone? Or does jailbreak just mean root? I'm suprised how little info I could find on the subject.

Yes, I do realize that I'll probably just get flamed with links to FAQs, but that's what I'm looking for! If someone just knows the answers to my questions, that'd be great to.

So heres the deal, every time I download a rom file it goes to internal sd/card0. As it would seem twrp doesn't recognize this folder and I can't figure out how to get the file where it needs to be in order to flash it. Details are as follows...

Galaxy Note 2 model sgh t889

ROOTED

stock rom

Perseus kernel

No other mods other than the apps such as Titanium backup and such.

I've also tried to download the file on my laptop and copy to phone but it won't allow it. I have the correct drivers and it starts to copy and then says it can't send apk file and on and on...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
I recently switched back to TW (clean rom) from AOSP because of some deal-breaking issues I was having. I was wondering if there were any sure fire ways of getting rid of that annoying wifi notification that does not go away. I did some searching and found some old ways of removing it that don't seem to work on newer versions.

Is there any way to remove this on TW jellybean?
[Fire TV General] Determined:
For those interested, Amazon FireTV JTAG pinout is very close to the standard 20-pin ARM JTAG. See atached image for the actual pinout. If anybody has an OpenOCD config file for QUalcomm Krait 300 (SnapDragon 600), please share. Rooting can be done by bypassing a couple of checks in the bootloader.
[Fire TV General] DroidIt!:
Huh. Question. Is it snapdragon 600 you want or S4 pro. I dug pretty deeply before I got the box to figure exactly what processor is in there. Amazon gives: snapdragon 8064, krait 300, 1.7 GHz with adreno 320. I couldn't actually find a direct match for those specs in Qualcomm info, but the only thing that matched those specifications was the S4 pro, the same thing in the Nexus 7. Not to derail what you started, just want to be sure you're seeking the correct thing.

from my N5

Edit: let me clarify a bit. Amazon says it's the 8064. I went to qualcomm's site and that wasn't listed anywhere. So through deductive reasoning: CPU speed and the adreno 320 match the S4 pro which is also in the N7 2013. I haven't actually looked what xda says it has, but that's how I came to the S4 pro.
[Fire TV General] Luxferro:
Being curious, I did some reading. I'm pretty sure it's a S4 Pro as well. 600 uses LPDDR3, has higher clock speed 1.7 vs 1.9GHz, and has wireless AC.

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/help/snapdragon-600-vs-snapdragon-s4-pro-t2157201

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Amazon+Fire+TV+Teardown/23856
[Fire TV General] DroidIt!:
Yeah they didn't match up to me. I see xda just says 1.7 ghz, etc and not the 600. I'm thinking S4 Pro too. Good to get a confirmation though. :good:
[Fire TV General] Determined:
The 600 was mentioned in some specs on the web, but it may have been a guess.

Actual JTAG device IDs:

4BA00477 (dap)

2071E0E1(cpu) <- googling this one yields nothing
[Fire TV General] robclark:
the original apq8064 was dubbed the 'S4 Pro' (before the new naming scheme kicked in). Later variants (apq8064t, apq8064ab, etc) are dubbed 'snapdragon 600'. The newer variants have newer krait and newer revision of a320 (gpu), clock bumps, etc.. but basically tweaks of the original.
[Fire TV General] jcase:
I've got a third FireTV hooked up to my riffbox now, but having issues. If I can get a successful read and write, I'll post a dump with a hacked bootloader to run unsigned images.

Issue I'm as is im not getting any response from RTCK. Fuses indicate that jtag was not disabled, and this isnt my strong point.
[Fire TV General] Determined:
No need to pull that dump, it is provided in the OTA (emmc_appsboot.mbn). There is a procedure (located at 0x88F01144 in OTA 51.1.0.1) that checks unlock code, if you force it to return 1, you will be able to boot anything as well as run "oem unlock" and other restricted commands.
[Fire TV General] jcase:
Not what I was referring to, sorry for my bad wording.

I have already rooted and unlocked mine, but I an unable to release the root at this point (will shortly, waiting on Amazn not confirm a patch is done for the root exploit). I was trying to say I would release a riffbox flashable binary, with a bootloader hack allowing booting of custom images.

Booting unsigned recovery with modified res images:

[YOUTUBE]xLR8zGhLLb4[/YOUTUBE]

I can't get a response over jtag, will put more effort into it this week.

emmc_appsboot.mbn itself can not be alternated, sbl3 validates it before continuing with boot.
[Fire TV General] Determined:
Hah! If you step through it using a jtag and skip the checks it won't actually need any changes.
[Fire TV General] jcase:
Hah? Stepping through it is impractical for most uses. For the few of us that have one sitting on our desk? Sure ok, for those that have it in their entertainment center? Not practical at all.

If you are going to jtag it, might as well hack it proper once, and not worry about having to step through it each boot.

If you choose to jtag and step through it, have it return a value of being unlocked will result in androidboot.unlocked_kernel=true being passed to cmdline, and /sbin/adbd will not drop root when that exists. Would be a easy-ish root through jtag without actually flashing anything.
[Fire TV General] Determined:
That is your [much appreciated] thunder. I don't have time to generate public-friendly hacks anymore. :)
[Fire TV General] jcase:
Thunder is over, I'm done after I provide a few promised ones come Blackhat (including this one). Too much of time sink, and the public factor of the amusement has long gone.

If you have gtalk/hangouts give me a shout to the address in my signature.
[Fire TV General] iNT0XiC8D:
There is also a serial debug port.
[Fire TV General] {ParanoiA}:
Are the pins known which is which?
[Fire TV General] jcase:
I'll try and verify tomorrow
[Fire TV General] Determined:
No JTAG Debug

Connecting to JTAG with OpenOCD needs a few changes in the cortex_a.c source to enable support for Cortex-A15. If you actually make those changes and play with debug registers, you will discover that DBGEN and SPIDEN signals/fuses are disabled, so debug mode is not accessible.

I have not yet tried flashing.
[Fire TV General] robclark:
ohh, openocd? I'm listening..

I have a number of snapdragon devices that I'd love to use jtag with.. but no windows machine for the riffbox sw.. openocd would be awesome
[Fire TV General] jcase:
I spent a bit trying today, I never could get a response from RTCK at all
[Fire TV General] Determined:
Ignore it, RTCK is not always available and JTAG works without it as long as your clock is within acceptable range. I used 1000khz-3000khz. Don't know if clock is configurable in riffbox that I believe you use. Also, does riffbox support 1.8v levels?
[Fire TV General] jcase:
Clock is configurable, I believe it does 1.8 but I'm not home now so can't verify
[Fire TV General] krasny2k5:
Hi!

One noob question, if you can develop a root method or a way to flash the device using jtag, what kind of device will be necessary to do it?

something like this? http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Blaster

thanks!
[Fire TV General] krasny2k5:
Any advances with JTAG?

thanks!
[Fire TV General] cz172638:
that's not true, i currently play with openocd, flyswatter2 and ifc6410 (another apq8064 box) and i discovered, that problem is how openocd handles writing to crtlstat register. seems openocd implements dap ver. 0 way, but not dap ver. 1 and dap ver. 2 ways. i'm currently diving to arm coresight documentation and openocd code.
[Fire TV General] krasny2k5:
Good to know that somebody is working in JTAG solution for AFTV box. Let us know your findings!

[Fire TV General] chiefdome:
Long time ago since last post?

Hi there folks,

is there any progress in finding a reliable jtag connection, i. e. with a busblaster to root it?

Found http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/hardware-root-via-emmc-chip-t2885344 which is of core a little bit risky in doing it because of http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/hardware-root-via-emmc-chip-t2885344/post55673788#post55673788

I know I can solder but I dont have the other required hardware especially the emmc-adapter to make the connection with the flash chip on the board.

I do have a busblaster and I did some JTAG on a pogoplug. It worked well with OpenOCD.

So know I just want to know if somebody is working on it because it would be a pleasure to me to get a rooted FireTV.
[Fire TV General] cz172638:
finaly got under control ifc6410 (apq8064) using openocd. patch is undergoing review.

how are these working out for everyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twizzlejr:
Checked out the illusion rom and there it works alright there are missing apps like the playstore Gmail so you can't add your account and when you activate halo your status bar doesn't display any icons like signal or battery other than those things the themes work and halo works great so it's good to see some asop on our phones

try downgrading your AP back to 4.3 im guessin your 4.4 now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
screenshots? OP? that idiot didnt include any whats this AOSP crap look like?

jk but seriously post your best screenshot for a thank you.

but seriously. overall smooth and fairly fast and responsive at least when compared to a TW rom. the themes and everything look great the original developers did a fine job. phone, messaging ect should all work along with sounds, video everything basically except wifi, including hotspot and the power menu. this is the same on both roms because theyre run off the same base. regular USB tethering does work tho. if your not hearing sound and have upgraded your ap is probably off or not matched with your modem. it was tested on mk2 with mk2 modem all works, and a revert mk2 with 4.4 bootloaders nc2 hlos and nc2&mk2 modem and same results it probably wont work if your AP is still 4.4 you can use my other thread to help you come down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jam97:

Funny you mention that.

I actually looked on his forum and it seems that AOSP eclipse never got published. The TW Eclipse I do have but I don't see why the links wouldn't work that nitro has up on that thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mfun89:
So based on what I see if I flash the echoe rom, then nc5 modules and supersu, everything should work fine and I will keep safestrap?
