Is it possible to install a stock ROM once 4.3 and a locked bootloader is in place. I've looked all over and I seem to read conflicting stories. So...

I have a Samsung S3 Telus (AT&T) version running the latest 4.3 as of May1st, my bootloader is locked and I have a tripped flash counter.

If someone actually posts a I747MVLUEND2 rooted image can I flash it?

Can I flash an older version I747MVLUEM series?

Oh yeah my phone is NOT rooted.

I think you didn't understand the question. You pointed me to a thread about unlocking.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
With a 4.3 bootloader, you will need to install a custom recovery to flash ROMs. If you want to restore a stock 4.3 ROM, try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

With a 4.3 bootloader, you cannot use Odin to flash a stock ROM unless that ROM was specifically compiled for flashing via Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] horga_83:
No this is not possible. I have a LOCKED boot loader. I can't flash a custom recovery as far as I know.

Also how would one know a ROM is made to be flashed by Odin even if it was possible? Maybe I missed something here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I re-read your original post and I'm a bit confused. You have a Telus s3 (i747m) or AT&T s3 (i747)?

I have never heard of an s3 having a locked bootloader. All of the phones with a stock 4.3 ROM have a bootloader that cannot be downgraded.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] horga_83:
Sorry, I have a Telus I747M.

It seems all AT&T and Telus S3's have a locked boot loader after the upgrade to 4.3. This means you cannot flash CWM recovery to the phone anymore.

So, I beleive I can't fix it to put CWM recovery on but I may be able to flash a stock rom, I'm just not sure at this point what I can do. Based on your response it is not surprising I'm confused, there seems to be a LOT of conflicting information.

There are some stock ROMS that have already been rooted and I'm hoping I can flash one of those without bricking my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
sir, the one who got the wrong idea is you

the only S3 with locked bootloader is the verizon version

i747/M doesn't regardless of which version

which occurs to me that you might have done something wrong trying to root your device

though i've never tried this tool to root but many people succeeded rooting their phone with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1963790

so try it out

but again, you said to flash a stock rom... you can do it via Kies(is that how it is called? it had been so long since i last used it) or you can just use ODIN to flash it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
Regardless of the subject of that thread, the posts I indicated directly speak to your 747m downgrade question.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Can understand why some may be confused about the question. If you have stock 4.3 already (which is the latest version available), why would you want to flash another stock ROM? If you are talking about flashing an older stock ROM, yes it is possible, and there have been several posts on how you can successfully downgrade the system only without altering the bootloader. Attempting to downgrade the bootloader will, of course, cause a brick so downgrading ROM only is a rather complicated process that should be attempted only if there is a very worthwhile reason for this. So far, there are very few arguments, if any, for downgrading from 4.3 to any older stock ROM version. If you are trying to flash a rooted version of the same stock, you need to be sure it's one with the same bootloader. You may, however, find it easier simply keeping the current system and rooting via Safe Root. You can, however, flash a custom ROM if it won't attempt to mess with your bootloader . As far as recovery goes, even if you have stock 4.3, you can still flash custom recovery via Odin or other prescribed installation route. I'm not aware of 4.3 preventing the flashing of a custom recovery. I have an AT&T i747 with stock 4.3 and I've flashed custom recovery several times.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] horga_83:
So when my bootloader says Qualcomm secure boot = 1, that means what exactly?

I haven't tried to root my phone yet.

Well actually it's a stock ROM that has been rooted. As per this page:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I think that means secure booting has been enabled. Secure booting has nothing to do with having a locked bootloader. From what I have read in other forums, a locked bootload would not allow you to load a custom kernel.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjne:
I bricked my MT6577-based phone. I ran an app which re-partitions the drive, and this stopped the phone from booting -- the initial boot splash screen appears (in this case an Android icon), but it doesn't get to the point where it loads the OS (which would be represented by an Android icon where the droid's eyes and 'jetpack' light up).

I have placed the phone in recovery mode (power+vol up), and connected this to my PC (Windows 7). The PC does not recognise the phone and flags up an "unknown device" (code 43), so I cannot do anything with the flash tool or MTK tools.

I'm assuming that the original ROM is still intact, but can anyone confirm: is this phone recoverable? I should point out that it appears not to be possible to get a copy of the stock ROM for this device, I have searched at length with no success.

If it's dead without the ROM, a single line to the effect will put my mind at rest at least :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnabbiswasalsodeep:
Reinstall the drivers and then connect your phone in recovery mode

Use yuweng's ctr recovery porting tool and get the custom recovery

Then in wipe menu, wipe data and emmc partition then try

Otherwise you'll need the stock rom to he flashed by flashtool

If stock unrooted is what you're going for, yes. You will have to grab the 4.2.2 tar and odin it. Back up anything important because if after running Odin successfully, and the phone boots up but hangs on sprint splash screen. You will have to perform a factory reset.

So is anybody else having trouble deleting emails with the TyTN's PocketOutlook (not activesync because I already have an activesync account)? I use Fusemail, IMAP4, and have the delete settings set to delete immediately.

However, the next time my account syncs all the deleted emails come back. This doesn't happen to emails that I move to another fodler though

WTH????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] efjay:
This is a problem with how MS have implemented IMAP in P Outlook. I dont think it properly supports the Purge command which will remove emails permanently.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 100thMonkey:
well two things, I found that Flexmail didn't run very well on my TyTN. Secondly, I found that by changing the deletion action to returning the mailbox rather than move to next message, I am able to press and hold the scroll wheel to bring up the menu options which is working out for me

I installed the latest flexmail, and it was crap, then on uninstall I couldn't get outlook to work again...wouldn't even start, could be somethin I did....but I would recommend just getting a pop addy, or any other client than flexmail.

FlexMail 2007

I am fairly new to WM and IMAP, and I also had trouble with FlexMail the first couple of times I installed in on my TyTN, but I have just reinstalled it and made sure that I did NOT set it as my default client for Mail or SMS. Seems to be working much better and I am not getting the strange behavior that I had before (ie inability to disable Mail button even in sleep mode, not receiving voicemail SMS notification, etc.)

The one thing that does not seem to be working as advertised is IMAP IDLE mail check. I thought that it would wake up my unit from sleep mode but that does not appear to be happening.

Best,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p51d007:
I'll be darn if I can figure out what is going on here.

4.1.2, stock except for custom kernel brick bug prevention.

I've had this rom running since it was released (this is a note international, GBT via amazon, used in the states)

Never had an issue, but I've started to notice a couple missed calls. Today, I saw what was happening.

Incoming calls, the ringer only rings for maybe 1/2 second, phone continues to "ring" but you never hear

anything! It's like it has been silenced as if you quickly pressed a button. That's how it acts without bluetooth.

If I have my bluetooth (jawbone ERA) turned on, SOMETIMES, if the screen is off, it NEVER rings, on the speakerphone

I'm using to dial my Note, I hear it ring 2 times, then go directly to voicemail. Sometimes it does that, sometimes it does

not, otherwise, the phone ringtone plays for a split second, headset continues to ring normally. Screen shows the incoming

call, but no ringtone. I haven't tweaked, installed, updated anything to cause this. Just one day it started doing it.

I'm about to do a clear reset, but it's just a PITA to set it up. Device is going on 18 months old, first issue I've really had

with it other than a bad USB port or a worn battery.

Any clues?

edit: Found the issue...I use call control as a phone number blocker. In settings, I had on for blocked calls, "remove partial ring" turned on. Once that was turned off, everything started working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hemal.mehta:
So i decided to flash CWM recovery on my Note 3 via CWM (I had phillz recovery installed already), now the phone just wont boot up. It keeps saying Recovery Booting above the Note 3 logo for 2 seconds, then the phone restarts again showing the same message. I pulled the battery out and then inserted it back in but it boots the phone automatically with the same recovery booting message and restarts every 2 seconds. I cannot boot into recovery or put the phone in Download mode. Have I finally screwed my phone up? Any help would be very appreciated.

Can you Boot into download mode and Odin to stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hemal.mehta:
I cannot. I have the battery of the phone out right now. As soon as i put the battery in the phone, it tries to reboot into recovery without me even pressing the power button. Then it again shuts off and tries to restart every 2-3 seconds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hemal.mehta:
Just some additional info, I flashed CWM recovery through Rom Manager. After flashing it, it asked to reboot the phone. As soon as the phone rebooted, i started having this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] unleashd:
I'm in a similar situation. I used to be able to use the phone controls (power-home-Vol Up) to be able to go into recovery mode, but even that has stopped functioning. The only way to get the phone to boot normally after that is to pull battery, put the phone in download mode and then cancel download mode to boot up normally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: download mode

I think the only way to get your phone into download mode now would be

to get a USB Jig from eBay or some online store.

They are under $5 bucks shipped.

Once you have that you would simply remove the battery from your

phone and then plug in the Jig before putting the battery back in.

The usb Jig is basically meant to be used for those

phones which will not go into download mode any

other way.

I have a Jig and as soon as it's plugged into the phone when the phone

is powered down it goes into download mode within 2-3 seconds.

Soon as its in download mode you can remove the jig and start a

clean Odin flash of the official stock firmware for your phone.

Good luck!

I encountered the same issue after flashing CWM Touch to my SM-N900T (Note3-Aus) running Infamous Rom on the BioShock kernel. After being stuck in the loop for a fair while I removed the battery, went to grab a cup of tea before completely raging at the phone, went back and put the battery back in. The phone did not boot automatically this time, a good sign I thought to myself. I then went on to hold down VolumeDown + Home + Power to see if I could get into download mode. I successfully booted into download mode and selected the reboot option. My Note3 then went on to boot successfully. Hopefully this helps :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] atlzonly89:
I recently had the same issue......heres step by step:

1. with the battery OUT, grab the usb and plug into phone and computer

2 press volume down, power, and home at the same time.you should be in download mode at this point, and just press volume up to get into download mode.

3. open kies. and at this point you'd want to restore back sto stock as follows:

4. go to tools, firmware upgrade and intialisation

5. follow the on screen direction and then just wait.

6. if you want to re root, then feel free to once the phone is up and running.

Same problem has happened to me, do you guys know if the jigs are universal? The ones I see on amazon and ebay dont list the note 3 at all so I just want to be safe. Since upgrading to nf9 the recoveries have given me major issues, TWRP was really buggy so I switched back to CWM and this happens.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Theaccomplice88:
I love skins for my devices. It gives them a custom look while preventing scratches. That is why I jumped at the chance to receive a free EXO skin of my choice. They have quite a variety to choose from on their site. For me, it always comes down the the wood designs, this time I chose the wood grain bubinga. The skin itself also has a slight texture with the wood grain that is a wonderful added touch that makes it feel more true to life. I love dark wood looks, as I currently have a skinomi wood grain skin on my Asus Transformer Prime tablet and keyboard dock.

This is the first skin that I have ever applied with a hot air dryer, and it certainly helps form the skin to the back cover. However, the skin isn't perfect in it's coverage of the back. I lined up the camera, flash, and speaker holes perfectly. What was left was slightly off for the outer edge of the skin. The right side was too close to the edge, while there was still some white showing on the left side. It's not too bad since its barely a millimeter off, but it is definitely something that I noticed.

The rest of the skin went on smoothly, but I was surprised to notice that mine did not come with the home button piece. I most likely wouldn't have kept the piece on anyway depending on if it caused issues with the fingerprint scanner since I use it daily. The sides have stayed in place pretty well over the past few days without any movement or peeling of the edges. Another thing that is slightly off is the top edge of the screen cover. I have the speaker, camera, and sensors aligned properly, but the notification LED cutout is a little lower than where the light is.

The skin itself isn't too thick, but it does make swiping the fingerprint sensor a tiny bit more difficult. I was even able to put a case back on over the skin, albeit with a little difficulty. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the skin, and look forward to more skin choices from EXO skins in the future. Here's hoping this review fixes the slight errors on the back, as well as possibly introducing more wood grain choices.
