For the Kies way, It starts working, but then it turns off suddenly.

For the other way, I don't know how to do it, because I think CWM got deleted off my phone.

EDIT: When I removed the SIM Card, I was able to install the firmware. However... It freaks out whenever I put it in recovery mode, not letting me select an option. Oh, and When it gets to the purple oval with the samsung logo in the middle while booting, it shuts off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
You said you were able to successfully flash the firmware. Good! Was this via the Kies option or the recovery option? If you flashed the firmware, then you are there already. Can you try booting into recovery again and doing a wipe/factory reset? If this doesn't work, then we can try the 4.3 restore.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] minieli:
via the Kies option.

It won't let me wipe/factory reset. It keeps rebooting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] minieli:
So how will we go about doing the 4.3 restore?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Except, of course, you'll need to be able to get into recovery mode fully to use this option. You may try downloading TWRP for your device via the following URL ...

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar

Boot your phone into download mode and flash the recovery *.tar file via Odin

Check if you can successfully boot into TWRP. If so, you can try the hard wipe thing here. If not, it gets more difficult and you may need to go back to Odin.

If TWRP recovery works ....

1) Try doing a hard wipe/reset. If this works and enables you reboot successfully, order a drink or something. If you still cannot boot successfully, then try next step below.

2) Download the 4.3 stock recovery zip for TWRP posted in the following thread. Verify the MD5 and save to an external SD card...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

3) Place the SD card in your phone. Reboot to TWRP recovery and select install. Wait for flashing to complete. Clear your cache/dalvik and reboot to system

If you still cannot get to recovery ....

4) There is an Odin flashable *.tar file for i747 on 4.3. There have been mixed reports on its success, however. Some have reported using it successfully whilst a few have reported a brick. You have little to lose, however, and a brick, if it happens, would be likely recoverable. Scroll through the thread to find the file posted by Recognized Contributor Enewman. Download this file and flash via Odin

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722660

I'd have also suggested flashing 4.1.1 via Odin, except there is a risk that your phone is already on the 4.3 bootloader and flashing an older would result in a brick.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] minieli:
The problem is that I can't flash anything because I can't get into download mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXFl4sh:

Follow NexTech00 instructions to get into recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916015&page=2

EDIT: Take your battery out and then try to getting into download.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
I thought you could get into download mode easily enough before? If you have difficulties getting into download mode, you may try using a jig as you will need download mode to effect any of the various solutions. There is no reason to panic, however. Your phone is never bricked as long as you can get into download or recovery mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] minieli:
I love you. However, there's a problem...

It's wildly inconsistent when booting up. One time I got all the way to signing into my google account, but some times it reboots after getting at the swirling pink and blue samsung logo.

Now I can, apparently. Something changed. Now I can get into download mode, but not recovery mode. So, now, what's the next step?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Can you try using Odin to flash 4.3 via then instructions posted earlier in the thread or follow the steps in the thread advised by xXFl4sh? The Odin should do it though.

After flashing 4.3 did you perform a factory reset?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] minieli:
I hadn't flashed 4.3 at that point.

my phone shut off in the middle, and it said that it failed. Now I'm back to the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please connect to kies and try again" screen. I can still get into download mode. What now?

It apparently tripped my warranty bit too

and it shuts off within 3 seconds when on download mode. I read something about "sudden death syndrome". Is this it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
Start from something very simple. Check if your power button is not stack or push in all the time. I fixed mine by removing battery and i put drop of vegetable oil in power button, maybe not drop just little and i push button couple times.

There's a simple app for this call SMS Backup & Restore, just take a backup before you wipe store it on your external card. Then re-install the app after and point it to the backup and it restores all your SMS messages.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bc1313:
I have a Galaxy Nexus with latest Cyanogenmod installer firmware. I woke up a few days ago and the phone had overnight got itself into a crash, reboot cycle. It starts up, gets to the homescreen and then crashes, usually 30-60 seconds after the homescreen has loaded. I have tried many things to reset/format the device to start again and none have worked. Here is the list of things I've tried:

In CWM Recovery:

Wipe data/factory reset - Reports successful but when reboot I am greeted by my old wallpaper and apps followed by the crash within 1 minute.

Restore from backup - crashes during restore

Advance Restore - all partitions restore successfully except /data, phone crashes during recovery of /data

CM Installer:

I tried using CM Installer by connecting to my laptop in Recovery mode and running the Windows CM Installer software. This looked promising, the install process appeared to be working with both the phone screen and laptop showing that the install was proceeding. The CM installer on the laptop reported that CM had successfully been installed however on re-booting the phone I was greeted again with my own wallpaper and apps followed by the inevitable crash.

Wugfresh:

I used Wugfresh to try to flash the stock ROM. I did this from Bootloader using the Flash stock/unroot with bricked phone option and even went into advanced options to enable force flash mode and I have not checked the option to keep userdata. This also appeared to work according to Wugfresh however when I re-booted nothing had changed and all my userdata remains with the crash following shortly after boot.

I have also tried flashboot and ADB commands to erase and/or format /data, all report success but when rebooting clearly haven't worked.

I've come to the conclusion that something is wrong with /data. The crash is being caused when the phone tries to access something in that partition. It seems that when flashing a new ROM by any method, the installer successfully writes all other partitions and that while it thinks that /data has been re-written, it actually doesn't.

Further info from Wugfresh log regarding "userdata" when flashing:

erasing 'userdata'...​

OKAY [0.035s]​

formatting 'userdata' partition​

Creating filesystem with parameters:​

Size: 14539534336 (etc etc)​

I have tried many ways to erase or format /data or userdata and somehow it still remains. Can anyone please help?

On my first attempt to flash a ROM on my lovely phone, I accidentally check the box to wipe my internal memory where my TWRP stock recovery was. The ROMs have all failed, and the RUUs have failed as well. I wasn't sure what might be left on my phone, so I probably made matters worse by booting into the bootloader and selected to to a factory reset.

At any rate, I have no TWRP recovery that I can use, and that might (just might) get me through this brick since the flashing and RUUs aren't working. Is there any way to get my hands on a TWRP backup somewhere for the M8?

[Dell Venue] wkukielczak:
Hello,

I'm working on little Android SDK project. We (company I working for) decided to buy some Intel Atom based devices for testing SDK and mini-apps using it. We bought Dell Venue 7 and I have problem with connecting it vie USB to my Linux powered PC (Ubuntu 13.10).

I have udev rules for most known devices. What I have done for now with Venue was:

lsusb

which give me

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 413c:b11b Dell Computer Corp.

so my id vendor is: 413c. In /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules I have:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

I have applied similar rules to 31 vendors for now, and never noticed any problems (eg. with samsung tablets which also need udev rules).

Unfortunately Venue 7 is not visible by ADB:

~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
????????????	unauthorized

I tried to find answer on XDA and Google, but from yesterday I stucked.

My device details:

Dell Venue 7 3730

Android 4.3

Kernel v. 3.4.43

Developer mode unlocked, USB debugging turned ON, my PC was authorized, when device asks me for this.

Device is ordered few days ago as fabric-new, but there was no Dell branded software (I don''t know if any should be). Device is NOT rooted

[EDIT 02-05-2014]

Last I found solution. Everything in my setup was OK. One thing I've changed was my udev rule to line without "GROUP" so now it looks like:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c", MODE="0666"

but this was just small improvement to working setup

My problem was simply stupid - I used not supported cable :). I was using cable which I used for lot of my devices, but actually when I changed to cable distributed with Venue, all starts to work.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] upncoming:
Sorry, but it's not going to work with this phone.

Orange Dominicana uses the 900 band frequency for 3g (WCDMA). On this phone that band is locked for being used with 2g (GSM). That's why you're getting Edge.

Unfortunately, the T-Mobile version of this phone also locked the 900 band for GSM. That means the NV data hack won't work for you either.

Sorry. Hope that explains it, and I hope they at least launch LTE service on a compatible band for you.

Now the button is gone completely (can see straight through to the internals). Anyways, I have loads of pictures which I need for a project on it!

I have read that leaving overnight an app that's constantly switching colours, with full brightness, could help a bit on that. I also read that leaving a blank screen (white image) on the same conditions (overnight, full brightness) would help as well. My question is, how true these both things are?
