[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanu:
Water damage is not cover by warranty.

It's sad, they sell the devices and even show them on TV getting wet but the fine print in the warranty and the carriers have said they are not covered.

Basically treat the phones as you would any regular phone and consider any "water resistant" claims they have as maybe a bonus in case it ever did get wet.

Also keep in mind the phone is only rated to go so deep and be wet for so long, though I consider all useless since it's not covered by warranty for water damage still.

Insurance claim, with deductible, would be only option if it's damaged. Otherwise if it's working consider yourself lucky.

is there a way to root my verizon s3 on mac? I am running kitkat 4.4.2 the newest ota update. I am new to this and don't want to brick my phone but willing to try it :confused: thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roaddog665:
Don't know if you have found your answer to this, but probably would have more luck posting in the Verizon S3 forum. Anyway, you can use Towelroot on your phone to get root, no computer needed. Just search for Towelroot and download the app. It is quick and easy. FYI, you are on a locked bootloader, so no custom recovery or roms.

I have a at&t mega i527. A few days ago. I pressed update and it updated. I eyed to take the battery out before it would compete and now the touch screen is not responsive. I have tried everything. . Kies. Odin. Adb sideload. Nothing had worked. I even replaced the screen. Nothing I try had worked. Does anybody have any ideas thati could try. I feel like I've tried everything. Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kmt5150:
Back to stock you go...

Problem is tho, I do not know where the update failed in between 4.2 and 4.4.2. Go to THIS THREAD and try the 4.4.2 (UCUBNE7) BUT BE ADVISED that you cannot root UCUBNE7 at this time per THIS THREAD:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

It looks like we may be close, but my girlfriend's Active just installed a post 4.4.2 update that updated security policy manager to remove the root vulnerability that was found recently. Samsung/AT&T seems to have a team dedicated to stamping out root for anything KitKat.

I would personally stay pre kit-kat (UCUAMK2) if at all possible. That firmware is located at THIS THREAD:good:

[Xolo Q3000] Vineet3:
Thanks for this post, man. I'll try the Stock Recovery for the OTA I've been getting since months. Because I've read somewhere that OTA only works on Stock recoveries.

Edit: The Stock recoveries here are S003 and S011. Mine is S009. Which one should I try?
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
Save ur recovery and try S011.:good:

i have kitkat 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.67, software version s003_15072014, non-rooted

i have installed mtk vcom, sp flash and tried to port cwm, but sp flash tool used to stuck at download mode....any help?

i have attached the screeshot for the reference....

Thanks in advance...
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
First thing is

Please dont quote whole post.

it is posted by me only and just few post above on same page.

Ur screenshot is very poor cant see anything please re upload with good resolution.

after pressing that download button u need to connect ur phone in switched off condition.

r u doing this as instructed.??

Please explain the process ur following?

Ur porting cwm means??

Or u mean to say flashing/installing??

which cwm ur using please specify.?
[Xolo Q3000] Sagar_Patel:
ow! sorry for the way i had posted the thing but thanks for the way you replied- it was quite Quick!!

so, herewith i have attached the zip file (for the better resolution) and jpg file as well (size i could manage within the limitation of this forum) of screenshot where i stuck...View attachment 2989842

yes, i connected my phone in switched off condition after pressing download button...

i had followed exactly the same way as you have explained for the non-rooted device....

and it was newbie thing that i had written "porting cwm" instead of "installing/flashing cwm"...yes, i was trying to flash/install cwm...

recovery i tried to install is:- [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.56.2 - cwm 6.0.5.0

Thanks for helping me...
[Xolo Q3000] Sagar_Patel:
sorry i had just forgotten to mention the scatter file i had used....obviously yes, it is the same as you have uploaded as:-

however, i had to rename it as MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt as the scatter file i had downloaded had have the name as attachment.php

also note that i had put zip file of recovery [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.56.2 - cwm 6.0.5.0 and that scatter file in same folder as well....

kindly check if i had done any mistake there...

i have attached the scatter file to which i had renamed...
[Xolo Q3000] Sagar_Patel:
sp flash tool stuck at download mode?

ok may be i have found the mistake while posting just above the procedure i had done!!!

sp flash tool stuck at the download mode may be because i had done mistake (if it is?! ok, i cant confirm it until i can get xolo q3000 back to me or until someone here can confirm that yes, this was the mistake) as below:_

i had downloaded zip file of recovery

then i had downloaded scatter file of xolo q3000 as mentioned in my previous post

i had renamed the scatter file i had downloaded as MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt as the scatter file i had downloaded had have the name as attachment.php (may be silly newbie thing here!!!)

i had put both those files in same folder

and did rest of the procedure as mentioned by avi3230 (OP) here in same thread for non-rooted xolo q3000 just a few posts above...

...and what should i have done?

i should have downloaded only the zip file of desired recovery and then if i extracted it, i could find that there are all the necessary files including recovery.img and scatter_file within the extracted folder!!!

i would like to attach screenshot of wrong thing i had done:- image named as "wrong"

and what i should have done is may be here:- image named as "may be"

i think i was trying to install zip file instead of recovery.img that should be there in extracted folder of recovery.zip along with the scatter_file as well...so, here now i have got where and why i had confused

ok, if zip file of recovery has properly zipped, has properly downloaded and if it has properly extracted then you should find both the recovery.img and scatter_file within extracted folder....if not so, then you should put (get together) the scatter file and recovery image in "same folder" means in extracted folder....

confused? then i can only say sorry for my english but why i had posted the whole thing here? may be because someone can find that what kind of silly things those can be done by newbies....and if so, they can help....
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
OK dont worry about ur English or anything wrong u doing.

just follow these steps

this is considering ur running kitkat on ur phone (S003 or S007 build no)

download

1. SP_Flash_Tool

2. philz recovery - this or this

3. drivers - from here

extract drivers folder- mtkusball 0.9.2

open smartphone driver folder - x86/x64 according to ur windows os and install drivers.

or just select from autoinstall folder

connect ur phone in switch off condition to pc.

when asked fro drivers use MT65xx preloader drivers.

when u connect switched on phone and if asked for drivers use - android winusb drivers.

(please check in device manager after connecting ur phone in each case whether drivers are installed or any red triangle is ther)

restart ur computer.

extract sp tools in folder

extract philz recovery in a folder (it is in 7z or rar format just extratc in folder in winrar)

in philz folder u have scatter file, recovery.img boot.img and lk,bin files

start sp flash tools

select scatter loading

select scatter file from philz folder

deselect uboot and bootimg

press download button

connect ur switched off phone to usb cable.

flashing will be done

confirmed by green circle.

[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
please do a twrp that'd work flawlessly on both jb & kk. thanks.

i suppose you're aware of this. :D
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
Yeah already seen that no support for philz now.

TWRP is bigger in size and u need to change partition size of recovery.

which is another headache for TWRP.

I already have it but again u need to flash whole stock rom again as whole

preloader boot recovery will change.
[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
is it fully working on both bases - jb and kk? does it allow jb/kk rom switching? what are the drawbacks of flashing whole stock rom again?

what if we make full backup of data (call log/sms/mms/dictionary etc.) and also apps+apps-data using my backup app......

....... - can those be restored in the new setup and be up & running? if so, i don't foresee much troubles. do you?

you being much more experienced, please elaborate. thanks.
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
As TWRP is larger in size most of the time it wont boot in recovery.

also backing up of recovery wont work on 7mb recovery partition in any cwm based recovery.

So i feel we should stick to philz.
[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
just in case you haven't seen this yet. this too.

wish you (or someone else) can do some magic! ;)
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
I already have twrp made for device which is easy.

its size is more than 6mb which is the issue.

u can change size of recovery to almost 11mb but then it wont boot in recovery specifically on 6589 chipsets. then whats t use.

to make it boot in recovery we need to change values in preloader.bin which is difficult task.

if anyone working on ubuntu please make an kernel with drivers files from this source.

if using this kernel twrp is less than 6mb then everything will be fine.
[Xolo Q3000] Sagar_Patel:

Unbrick Xolo Q3000

I would like to thank avi3230 for personal help in order to bring my xolo q3000 (which is actually not permanently mine) back to life…

I was trying to flash custom recovery (PhilZ 6.56.2) to my xolo q3000 kk 4.4.2, S003_15072014, non-rooted

I had used spft 5.1352.01, but stuck at download mode…used firmware upgrade, but same result…

Tried again but this time, in a hurry, I had not uncheck all those options which are usually assigned with check mark when you select firmware upgrade instead of download and my xolo q3000 got soft brick…

I had posted on thread and I was lucky that avi3230 personally helped me through whatsapp!!!

He gave me link for stock firmware s007_27052014

http://xdaforums.com/q3000/developm...ing-custom-t2884381/post55599335#post55599335

I had downloaded and flashed it through spft 3.1344 and I have got my xolo q3000 back to bang!!!

Flashing procedure:-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982587

I had also flashed PhilZ 6.57.9 and it is working absolutely fine…I have checked both backup and restore…

I had also flashed TWRP 2.8.1.0. I had found working backup and restore but later on I was unable to go into recovery mode anyhow. So, I had flashed PhilZ 6.57.9 again.

I will flash same or any other recovery but this time through spft 5.1352.01 to check if there is problem in spft version, but right now I don’t have xolo q3000 for a while…

I would also like to thank m0han sir for tips…

Hey,

My phone got stolen some days back and after reading some post about thefts changing the Imei code of the phone, I'm really worried whether if I will get my phone back or no. :(

It was only 5 days old.

Is it possible to change the Imei code of the Z2?

Will the police be able to track the phone?

Or should I just forget about my phone :/?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
You can use google device manager or myxperia (if you activated) to track your device
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylan2610:
I've tried all of that, but the phone hasn't shown any response since 4th of July :/

There have been many cases of thiefs chasing Imei codes here so it's got me worried
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamza Murad:
Your phone is probably lost. It is not possible/ probably impossible to change imei. The theif will probably keep it powered of a few weeks and then sell it in the black market. (at nearly 50% it's original cost)

From there it will be exported to another country.

So it is probably impossible to recover it. However you should report the imei to your carrier as lost which will render the device useless for any network communication. (no sim will work on it)

Sorry for you loss.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylan2610:
Thanks (:

Il Report The Imei Number And forget about the phone :/
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamza Murad:
But do alert the police. It is possible that the thief could keep it for himself or not sell it. It's worth a shot.

And next time, insure your phone 700$ phone.
