[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
It's really annoying when you got softbrick hahaha.

but yah, like lumin said, what ROM u use when u soft brick ur phone.

WIPING EVERYTHING THEN FLASH UR ROM

will fix softbrick just backup ur files on ur SD or

WIPE SYSTEM-DATA-CACHE-DALVIK FLASH ROM

will fix also but no need to backup SD files

that method always saves me from softbrick..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lyyesol:
Well I have Froyo KD1. And I installed a Bali Kernel made for the Vibrant and not Vibrant Plus using SGS Kernal Flasher. And now I am soft bricked with no USB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You won't be able to do much without being able to use USB. All the one click methods that will restore your phone to the factory state will need USB access.

Why is it that you can't use your USB port?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lyyesol:
Got the phone from my brother. Had the charging port problem and so I took it from him to screw around with. I soldered the USB but I only got it to charge. But it won't sync because I may have soldered a few pins together. But best I could do. So it worked but had no USB.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tscloud:
Is it possible w/ this setup? In actuality, all I want is a TCP/IP connection b/w the Nook and another machine. I have a Razr Maxx running eclipse-1.2 and as soon as hit Settings>Tethering & Mobile Hotspot>USB Tethering I had a USB0 interface on my Ubuntu laptop. Both sides get IP addresses, I can ping, I can VNC using Ubuntu Remote Desktop and AndroidVNC and things look good. Ultimatly, I am trying to run VNC client on the Nook connected to RaspberryPi for use as portable display using keboard/mouse/etc connected to the Pi. Using wifi for communication would < ideal.

On the Nook however, I do not even have the "Tethering & Mobile Hotspot" option. Is this even possible? Like I said I am not interested in sharing Internet connections or anything of the sort so I am not concerned w/ iptables enties or anything like that (unless I need to be of course). I can use VNC Viewer on the Nook w/ vncserver on Ubuntu over wifi. I could not get Remote Desktop to work but I think this is an Ubuntu 14.04 (recently upgraded) thing. It worked w/ 13.10. Thus is an Ubuntu thing I've got to think though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nyran20:
I was trying to go from stock to Cleanrom 8.1. After installing the modem and flashing the ROM I can't view my SMS messages which is a problem because I have Google two step authentication on. My phone vibrates, but I can't see the text message anywhere. As a result, I can't get into the phone =/

The last thing I did was flash d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip however I've since factory reset it and it still doesn't work.:confused:

M8 got CM11 earlier this week. And the phone was released a couple weeks or so before S5. So I imagine you S5 folks will see CM11 within two weeks maybe.

Apparently though it was six months before Note 3 got theirs. According to something I read last night.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Syph:
I apologize if this has been answered. If so, just point me to the right direction. I've searched and did not find my answer, I think my frustration is getting the best of me.

Anyway, I was on stock 4.3 odex root. All was well. Followed the guide in the development forum to upgrade to 4.4 odex root. Steps were simple, I flashed 4.4 tar with Odin, flashed the latest TWRP with odin, then flashed the ND8 4.4 zip through TWRP. Phone boots and works (though it wiped out everying, sucks but whatever), however I do not have mobile or wifi signal.

Can anyone hhelp fix this for me?

Edit: Disregard. Didnt see that the OP in the ND8 stock thread added right in the first post that radios dont work at the moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just ODIN the tar again and root it using a custom recovery. Data works 100% with the original.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Syph:
How do I do that? Sorry for the silly question, I've always been used to flashing an already rooted ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MrrD:
This is the Stock ND8 tar that edor's talking about: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533

Download that, it's about 953 MB, and Odin flash it. It does not give you root permissions so if you want root, flash CF-Auto Root or something like that through Odin also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you for answering him, I was busy out of town today. Might want to mention to unzip the file you download to get the 1.5GB tar inside.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tbaig99:
I have a s3 And I have rooted and flashed roms many times. I have done many titanium and nandroid backups but I was wondering if doing one of those would backups my efs folder and would finding the Efs folder and saving would do anything?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The EFS partition doesn't really have too much to worry about anymore. At least as far as the IMEI is concerned. Cant hurt to make a copy of it of course, but ive never heard of it being any kind of issue on the Qualcomm based S3's.

What you do need to do is open a terminal emulator and enter the following. (Ill post an explanation of it when I get on my computer)

su

reboot nvbackup
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tbaig99:
Nv Backup

I did that and it rebooted and said something in the corner. What should I do now?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You are done! Sorry I havent posted back. Never made it to the computer before my bed last night!

Ill post it in a few min.

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

This is a copy/paste of what I usually send to folks after helping to fix a missing IMEI. If anything is not clear, just let me know and I will try to explain better...

This is how to create an On-Device backup of your NV data using Samsung's built in utility.

It will backup your NV data across several partitions. These are partitions you should never have a need to mess with. So the backup is essentially permanent and you only ever need to do this once! You also cannot wipe it by flashing the usual stuff in Odin or recovery.

The really cool part about this backup though, is that if any NV corruption is ever detected, it will auto restore from the backup during boot up! This basically means it will protect you from ever having to worry about IMEI loss or other NV related problems!

If this had been run at the factory, or at least at the devices first boot, as I believe it should have been, I am convinced that we would never have had so many of these kinds of issues! No one who has run this backup has ever reported any problems with IMEI loss or NV corruption!

So, here is what you need to do:

Install

Terminal Emulator

from the store

Open and enter the following:

su
reboot nvbackup

Thats it! Your device will reboot and create the backup. There shouldn't ever be a need to force a restore, but in case it does happen, just enter this:

su
reboot nvrestore

Ok, you're all set! You are backed up and protected!

Happy Flashing!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tbaig99:
Thanks

Thanks for the help. I once flashed back to stock touchwiz and it messed with my I Imei But I fixed by flashing to the latest firmware. It wasn't that serious thought which was good. I just wanted to take extra precautions. But anyway thanks for the help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
In those cases the imei isnt actually lost. Its just not being read correctly and flashing the firmware like yo u did usually fixes it.

Lost imei's are common though but this backup will protect against it. Now that youve done so you shouldnt have much more than the usual stuff to worry about when flashing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] friedchocolatesoda:
Where exactly does it store the files? I did this a week ago and I'm just curious to see what it looks like.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You can't see it. I think is stored partly on modemst1, modemst2, fsg or grow, and maybe others.
[Acer Iconia A500] BillAngus:
Iconia A500 Device will not boot. Recovery procedure gives a little ANDY ... followed a while later by a DEAD ANDY.

Is there a recommended OS image file I might use?

Is it possible to re-install the OS from SIM card using the Device ON and Left Volume Down trigger?

Where might I get the file, what must be done in terms of file re-naming, if anything?

The device does not load to the point of being recognizeable by a connected PC.

Hey guys!

My question is how to upgrade from Hemli v.1.2 to 1.3 if I´m not able to see \storage folder, where I normaly put the Extrom folder (including cab.files).

I can only see the virutal drive named \RAMDISK.

Can anyone help me?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
extrom folder should be on Storage Card, if you do not have one then you can flash the rom, and later to copy extrom folder to your device and run autorun.exe manually
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] radiowavedev:
Hi all I am new to XDA but not to the forum or nodding community. Basically I have the HTC one M8 with an update that seems to have blocked firewater (1.12.605.11). I have tried a few times but firewater just looped and suddenly the phone will reboot. No damage seems to be done but I am curious what is required to get S-OFF on this update. I have searched the web but all firewater posts seem to be dated April 7 when firewater came out far before this new update. So is S-OFF even possible at this moment? And is their possibly a way to rollback to the older software? I would think not coming from my motorola mentality of nothing is moddable but HTC might be different? I appreciate any help to this question and hope I am not asking it again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xRogerxC:
It is not necessary to rollback the update. Firewater S-off can be used even with the latest OTA. I suggest moving over to the Verizon HTC One M8 forums here. You can find a video of the proper steps here, and a step by step tutorial here(make sure to use second method (weaksauce method)). Hope this helps!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
As mentioned above you are all set to S-OFF your phone. :)

The latest OTA has been confirmed to not hurt root and confirmed to still work with firewater S-OFF tool.

The post above mine has great links.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] radiowavedev:
Well I tried once again before updating and still nothing so I updated and it worked without a problem. Seems that I was on an old update not a new one. Thanks guys.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ed Murray:
Hi all, I hope this is the correct Forum for this thread. I did search for a clear thread on how to do this, but I couldn't find one with all the info I needed, so I apologize in advance if this has been asked 1000 times.

I'm relatively new to Flashing ROM's.

I would like to install a ROM I found here (ATT_UCUEMJB_I747S3Rx_3.0_AROMA_4-13-14.zip)

The instructions clearly state that I need the d2att_I747_MJ2-bootloader_MJB-modem.zip

I have read several threads that say this bootloader is bricking phones, and much more info that makes me want to be sure I have my ducks in line before proceeding.

Can someone please explain as detailed as possible the tools and steps I need to take to install this ROM onto my phone?

Galaxy S3 i747 ATT - SIM Unlocked, Safely Rooted and on Straight Talk currently. Before Rooting this phone received the OTA 4.3 Update as well, so it is up to date.

My weakest area so far is with the bootloader. I don't quite understand the process and would really appreciate all the info I can get.

Thanks all
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If you took the 4.3 OTA AT&T ROM update, your phone has the 4.3 mjb bootloader.

To confirm which bootloader is on your phone, boot into download mode and let us know what it says on your screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ed Murray:
When I do Volume down + Home + Power it displays a screen that Cautions you about installing a Custom ROM, and then says "Press Volume down to exit or Volume up to Install custom software.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Boot into download mode by pressing the up key. That screen won't tell you if you have Knox installed or the 4.3 bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ed Murray:
I Pressed Volume up key and this was displayed in the upper left corner on that screen with the large Android Image. It also said "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!"

ODIN MODE

Product Name: SGH-I747

Custom Binary Download - No

Current Binary - Samsung official

System Status - Custom

Qualcomm Secureboot - Enable

Warranty Bit - 0

Bootloader AP SWREV - 2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You have the 4.3 4.3 bootloader on your phone. Do not attempt to flash any lower stock ROMs via Odin as this may brick your phone. You can no longer downgrade your bootloader too.

In order for the phone to work with the mjb bootloader, you would also be running the latest modem which means you have the right items to install the SRX ROM.

You need to install a custom recovery before attempting to install a custom ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ed Murray:
Do you recommend a particular one?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I like the Validus ROM because it is has great battery life and nice blacked-out theme.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ed Murray:
I looked into that one as well. Not sure about the blacked out theme though. Is it okay in all light sources, etc?

Now I looked around into Custom Recovery install and found Clockworkmod.

I even found an app from Playstore (on this site) that is supposed to find and flash the correct one for your device in just a few moments (Rashr)

but it doesn't recognize my I747 I guess. Plus, I don't want to do anything in case I brick this phone. Forgive me for being noobish here but I'm just concerned and like to measure three times, cut once.

Any chance you could clarify this procedure for me?

I have backed up my current ROM and apps, everything using Titanium Backup and believe I'm ready to do this today.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ed Murray:
So, after finding a noob tutorial on installing Clockworkmod, I gave it a shot.

I renamed the file to recovery.img and placed it in the root of my sdcard.

Using the terminal emulator I used the command line in the instructions and it gives me an error that says the file or directory does not exsist

Any Ideas?

EDIT: Installed Rom manager and CWM is installed.

I downloaded the SRX ROM, placed it in the root of the SDcard. I believe I must do a full Wipe (Cache and Factory Reset) and then I can install Zip file, correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Yes, it's your first install if that Rom. Full wipe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ed Murray:
All good

Just to update the thread -

I installed the Rom and on first boot it didn't get past the Samsung Boot screen, even after waiting 10+ minutes.

2nd try was succesful and the ROM seems stable but I havent had much time to play around with it yet.

Thanks all for you help with my first ROM install :good:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djh816:
While this would be true if everyone used the same code base, they don't. Hence why my post on the first page of comments asking about a Cyanogenmod version (as the one posted here does not work with Cyanogenmod). He said he was working on a version that should support Cyanogenmod but then never posted it here. I was just looking for a status update.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Keithn:
I meant that the AOSP builds/kernels have been including all variants so looking in the other section could find you what you are looking for. I'm currently just pulling an apk from task650s AOKP that allows screen off gestures. There is a kernel that works with cm but I didn't have as good battery life as the stock cm kernel for me so far and haven't played with it much yet. Maybe looking into some other kernels would also help with this one.

I have a LG G Flex and my screen has the blue tint. It is especially noticeable on the top part of the screen and is blotchy blue. The bluish tint goes along the top of screen towards the right of screen about a quarter way down . Other than the bluish blotchy area I described ,the rest of the screen is white.

My phone is set at 50% brightness. At 100% brightness the blueish tint isn't as dark and is barely noticeable.

I have read of others having same issue. If you Google it you will read lots of complaints about the bluish tint in different areas of screen from the top to the bottom.

I bought my phone about 7 days ago at Best Buy.

I had upgraded to Android 4.4.2 on At&t. I Had considered possibly exchanging it for another one but I think bluish tint may be normal.
