[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
I thought you said you could access recovery and you had cleared cache. In that case you are buggered. If it goes through the flashing phase and reboots but you still cannot get into recovery then you have 3 options..

1. Flash another rom but no lower than 4.3. Carrier shouldn't matter.

2. Full on flash with pit file (dangerous and can perma brick).

3. Return the phone under warranty and state that the flash counter also clocks official flashes too, samsung should know this as they make the phone.. staff need training if they say otherwise.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Try the rescue firmware from general forum, follow the instructions exactly as it includes a pit.

It sounds like nand failure, so it's possible that you won't be able to fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crispin85:
Apologies for not being clearer, before sending it back to Virgin for the warranty repair I could access the recovery mode fine, when I got it back I couldn't - whether that was caused by the flashing of the firmware or something Virgin did I don't know unfortunately.

Thanks for the tip - I've flashed the stock recovery and I can now get into recovery mode! Looks slightly different but I can now access the factory reset/wipe cache options so that's some improvement.

I'm just downloading the stock international ROM as per this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847 but it's going to take a few hours. Thanks so much for your advice so far i'll report back once the download completes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crispin85:
No joy :(

I can however get into download mode and recovery mode now. Is there anything else I can try? Is it possible I can get a custom recovery image on there and flash it with something other than the stock rom?

I've got a feeling you're correct and it could be a hardware fault. Virgin say I can pay £100 to get it fixed, if they have to replace the entire phone that would prove it wasn't 'tampering' that caused it so I could potentially get my money back I guess, if I complained. I think that might be my only option now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crispin85:
Ok I just booted into recovery mode and I was greeted with this error:

Any ideas what this could mean?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
I say this to people who have this sort of problem but I mention the dreaded word and they tend to ignore it but will tell you what to try anyway.

Install Kies 3 for android 4.3 (there I said it Kies) on the top menu bar click Tools then Firmware Upgrade and Installation

Follow the on screen instructions, this process will wipe the phone and install the most up to date original carrier / phone firmware, after this the phone should work and you can then root, flash roms etc , it may work for you so try it, don't just dismiss it because it refers to the use of Kies
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crispin85:
Unfortunately I've already tried Kies, and it doesn't recognise the device when in recovery mode.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Make sure you are using the USB cable supplied with the phone and it is connected direct to your PC USB port, ideally the ones on the back but don't connect through any multi USB port connectors.

The USB cables and how you connect can make a difference

I have a z2 from Vodafone which is locked shut. But my catalogue have just started selling the z2 for £579.00 and 12 months interest free which is cheaper than direct from sony. It has the option to come without a sim so must be sim locked but would that mean boot loader unlocked or not necessarily. Tempted to get it and maybe sell this or get back and have both colours lol:D

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LimitsX:
Hi

I am highly interested in purchasing HTC One M8. I am coming from Samsung Galaxy S4.

I'd just like to know couple of things. The model I will be getting will be for wind-mobile in Canada, so it is similar to T-mobile in USA.

Now, with S4, there are restrictions such as I can't flash t-mobile or AT&T modem or rom at all. Is there anything like that with one m8? Can I flash other variants modem, roms without any such issues?

What about bloatware? Can it be debloated easily? For Samsung there is this KNOX that voids warranty. Are there any sort of mechanism for HTC one m8?

Also, can I install wanam-xposed module on the htc sense rom? And install the youtube adblocker module?

Lastly, how is the battery life? It is 2600mAH non-removable, so for mix usage of games, streaming music/video @ HQ from youtube, or listening to music locally, texting, whatsapp, facebook, and 50 min call on HSPA+ ? *not using LTE*

Thank you

What is causing this issue? it can't be kitkat related can it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agera:
I have similar issues..

This has happened once with my m8, I have recently bought a 64gb san disk and have seen this mounting issue as well no idea how that happened I ended up reformatting..

Also what is annoying me is the music stored on my sd just about every first song in each album starts off and in about 10 seconds or so it skips to the next song.... Its driving me nuts! I don't know why its doing this its gotta be an easy fix of some sort if anyone can provide the answer I would appreciate it. The same album works fine on the internal.. and running the stock HTC music app.

Is anybody else having troubles with the Google Hangouts 2.1 update?

Since the update to version 2.1 I find myself unable to use the app. When I open the app after it updated from Google Play, the screen stays white, turns black, and then hangouts eventually crashes. When I roll back to version 2.0 the app works fine.

I am on system software version 757 rooted. I might add, the 2.1 update works fine on my 4.3 Xperia Z.

Does anybody else share these symptoms?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
What format is the card in? Some CWM versions might not like certain formatting. Have you checked on the thread for CWM for your device to see if others have issues mounting their SD card? Are you able to mount the SD card via PC with other readers? Might need to either try a different version of the recovery if available or to reformat the card via PC (make sure you backup stuff to the PC first as it will wipe everything).

Good Day folks here at XDA Devs!

Today Im here to kind of show our first released game: Apollo Fights Back!

We are a little 2-man group named Black Wing Games, which developed said game in our free time. The game is a Runner-style Arcade piece where the goal is to set a highscore and build a Spaceship by buying the parts one by one.

As extras, we added Shooting Zombies and a few other Space-like events (say, Meteor Showers and Aliens for instance), which actually make the game feel more lively :) Also, the addition of a specific goal makes it stand out from the many other simple runners :).

I'll not stall you with my talk, so let's run a video wich will explain most of the basics:

Link has been updated for the Modified TWRP. Now installing 2nd rom is breeze. External SD card is now supported..Works in E-973 Canadian Edition

Yipee..;)

How many of you like the Stock Rom from LG? I know..It is most of you. Me too. But the fact is I am also unable to live w/o the KITKAT! This has resulted numerous times of installing roms, losing important call logs/messages, and a lot of weird things that I dislike! These days are past, and I now use MultiROM to taste every new flavour I like!! I don't have to back up and restore the factory rom now!

I am sharing it to you too. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs.

Statutory Warning: It is your phone. Do not blame me for anything. I am not responsible for any harm you do to your device.

Thanks to all who are linked with MultiROM!

Now the detailed steps:

1. Install TWRP-2.6.3.0_For_KitKat

2. Backup your rom(in my case it is the stock one) with TWRP.

3. Install Carbon Rom as the primary rom(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52327519&postcount=217) I have not tried with other roms. But this rom comes with a kernel with kexec hardboot patch.

DU also works! Thanks to [MENTION=313237]Buscador[/MENTION]

4. Install TWRP_2.7.0_MR_geeb

5. Now Install multirom_v22_UNOFFICIAL_geeb

6. Now Install any rom you like as your secondary rom. Reboot in Recovery --> Advanced -> MultiROM to install your rom. You can also select the backup that you performed in step 2.

The updated TWRP version supports ext SDCard. That means you can select the zip from SD card. Installing secondary rom in the extSD is not supported because of the slowness. In recovery go to Mount --> check external_sd to mount the externalSD card. Can any of you let me know if usb otg works in this recovery?

Working perfectly for E-973 Canadian version. Thanks to [MENTION=4398909]Aceangel21[/MENTION] for confirming.:good:
