Verizon galaxy S3 (I535) - Boot loop)

Hi,

I have a Verizon galaxy S3 ( SCH-I535) running android 4.4 NE1 firmware.

Recently it went to a boot loop. On power on, it will boot upto colourful SAMSUNG name and reboot from there.

I can go to Download or Recovery mode. Tried factory reset and wipe cache multiple times.

I have also flashed latest NE1 (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2795659)

using Odin + factory reset. That also didn't help.

I tried Software repair Assistance. But it doesn't recognize the phone when connected to computer.

I took it to Best-buy Samsung experience centre and they flashed the image. Same behaviour.

Anyone seen same problem before? Any suggestions on what I can do next?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Your power button is probably broken. I would look up YouTube videos on how to fix it or take it somewhere to get it replaced.

Sometimes you can fix it by hitting it against something soft, but be careful while doing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoonus:
Thanks for the suggestion.

In the past, I had another S3 whose power button get stuck occasionally.

Hence goes into bootloop. I will push/release the button few times to get button to normal.

When the button get stuck, it would behave abnormally in recovery menu too.

Since power button is ok/select button, some random menu items get selected when its stuck.

In this S3, power button behaves normal while in recovery or download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
That makes sense.

I'm at a loss then, but I'm still inclined to believe it's a hardware problem if a completely stock image was flashed. I wouldn't know what else to look at though besides the power button being messed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoonus:
I am planning to send it to Samsung. I will update what they find.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoonus:
fixed by Samsung tech

Send the phone to Samsung for repair. Its working fine now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoonus:
NE1. I don't have the phone with me right now. I will post the complete info Monday.

Good chance if its on NE1 it's on the 4.4.2 locked bootloader

Interesting that they reflashed it back to a locked bootloader. Kind of in my opinion not worth the money

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoonus:
It already had locked bootloader (NE1) before I send to Samsung. AFAIK, they always flash to latest release during repair.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Right. So if they just reflashed to the same build what was the point of sending it?

Just came across this thread. I wanted MIUI 6 on this guy. Not like I don't have my slice of MIUI on my own Xiaomi, but was curious to experience it on an AMOLED device instead.

P.S. This is why I don't buy Verizon variants, and am never buying a modern Galaxy device AT ALL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] l3l4ck0ut:
too bad there isn't more development on our phones with NE1....i know this isn't the right thread to ask this in, but i cannot post on the ROM thread because its in the dev section and i just registered. ive been using this site for a long, long, loooong time (back from droid X2 days haha), but JUST registered. i know, shame on me, but...figured i can ask? if not, feel free to remove. but my S3 is on NE1, and i've been using super light rom for awhile now. SLR3, then 4, and i have SLR5 on a nandroid, but im still using SLR4. why? because for my work...i have to have a hefty case on it, and the home and back/menu buttons are gone so i've gotten used to soft keys on my S3. Back, Home, and Recent Apps. i just modified build.prop each time and added qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and rebooted, and it has worked like a charm each time. this time, though, it force closes the entire system UI no matter waht i do and i have to go back. but, i need those soft keys. the apps on the playstore do nothing but modify build.prop with that line of code anyway so no point. any ideas?

Hi there ,

I'm about to order one in amazon in the next few minutes ,

can anyone recommend on a power bank of 9000-1000Mah?

in addition , if there's one that can be charged and discharged simultaneously.

price should be up to $40.

thanks for your help!
[General Accessories] estoydadude:
I would recommend you get a 10000mAh once, you can search it on Amazon, get the high ranking and good reviews one.

Remember with the standard industrial design, you will expect to get 30% conversion loss, so with a 10k mah, you will be able to get 7k mah for charge.

I flashed my Nexus 4 at the beginning of the week and have been following the developers thread since then. Love it so far, great work devs. Problem I am having is (as the title states) my mobile data will not work what ever I do. Currently I am on Beta 3 Preview 5 with stock kernel and lastest TWRP. I have tried toggling the airplane mode and switching preferred network type to GSM/CDMA auto in *#*#4636#*#* and deleting the APNs and doing restore to defaults, but it still reverts to WCDMA preferred. MMS works (sending and receiving). My carrier is T-mobile, and the APN I have been selecting is the T-mobile US (epc.tmobile.com with no user, pass and server set, the rest of the settings I left on default). Any help on this would be much appreciated :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It's a preview version. It's kinda funky. I'd try reflashing. Took me awhile to get it so that I was Happy with it. Make sure it's a clean flash, wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Le90:
I understand that, I actually fully wiped everything when I first flashed it and had to do it 3 times to get Beta 3 pre 3 to work and flashed Beta 3 pre 5 two times as well. New user so the system didn't allow me to edit my posts earlier. I will try to flash again and see if anything changes

Hi,

Is it possible to bypass the lock screen security feature while my Samsung Gear Live is connected to my phone (Samsung S5)? My Samsung Galaxy Gear 1 allows me to bypass the lock screen security as long as it's connected to my phone. I was hoping that feature was also available with an Android Wear watch. Any ideas?

Thanks,

You can set WiFi networks or Bluetooth devices as trusted admins so the lock screen won't be used if your connected to any you have set. Eg set your home WiFi and watch as trusted. Then whenever your at home you won't get the pin lock. When you out and have your watch you won't need it. But leave phone on bus with no watch or trusted WiFi then it locks down. Its v good

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sichroteph:
Problem with this software or the tasker BTNear function, is the battery consumption it requires to track the device.

Here is an alternative solution i made here that take virtually no battery, and root is not needed.

The trick is that it will not track the device itselft, but the notification Android make when the device is connected/disconnected.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnus:
...dammit. That's genius. Why didn't I think of that before making a way-too-complicated set of Tasker profiles and actions? :|
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubelsteiner:
Wear Unlock will do it, but I experienced some battery drain (on the phone) that I believe was related to it (since it went away when i uninstalled it).

Either way, I found the app to not be as helpful as I originally thought, just because of how good the reception between watch and phone is. I have to basically leave my house before it would lock my phone, I was hoping for a solution that would lock my phone if I just stepped outside of the room. Plus, with Wear Aware I get vibrations when the two lose communication anyway, so its not like I'm going to forget it somewhere and wish it was locked anyway.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnus:
For me, the point is in case the phone gets stolen somehow. At least then it'll lock itself before I can get to a computer or another phone and lock it remotely.

You are a god

HEY MAN YOU JUST MADE MY YEAR. I have been stuck on terrible TouchWiz Stock Roms on my Galaxy Note 2 for the past 1.5 years because I use my screen mirroring with allshare cast dongle a lot. I have been trying EVERYTHING to get screen mirroring or cast screen to work on this device for over a year. When I heard it worked on the CCast I pulled out my Nexus 7 2013 and it instantly work perfectly. I was so bummed when I saw the Note 2 was not on the list of supported devices. I just installed your app then the sqlite binary from the playstore and used that to install the binary. Then enabled your app, launched chromecast and am now mirroring my screen FLAWLESSLY on my US Cellular SCH-R950 t0lteusc Note 2 using stock rooted deodexed 4.4.2 TW rom and latest agni-kernel. YOU ARE THE MAN. Seriously, thank you so much. Seriously. You have freed me from the samsung prison.

[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Great find!!

AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3, KitKat 4.4.2 stock rooted.

Works, but with no audio.

Overall performance is pretty good. It seems just a tiny bit slower than AllShare Cast (to AllShare Wireless Hub), I'd say 0.5 sec lag on Chromecast vs 0.5 sec lag on AllShare Cast.

Video playback of local content using the stock video player seems very comparable to AllShare Cast - in fact, I can barely tell the difference aside from the lack of audio on Chromecast playback. I wouldn't be surprised if they share the same base with just slight tweaks.

Chromecast seems to be a bit more tolerant of other network operations compared to AllShare Cast.

I'm very impressed by the quality of mirroring. If the audio worked, I'd be very tempted to use Chromecast mirroring over AllShare Cast.

[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
What do you mean by "Not Working"? Is the mirroring itself not working or is the Cast Screen menu not showing up?

It should be in the Chromecast app, in the slide-out menu.

Part 1:

The question had a different meaning (probably off topic as it's not related to Mirror Enabler) - what I meant was, "Is Miracast Screen Mirroring working" in the LikeWise ROM (4.1) with or without this HDCP value change?

Part 2:

I tried the HDCP value change but couldn't find the Cast option in Chromecast or anywhere else for that matter. What do you mean by "it works" with the value change?

I then installed the MirrorEnabler app and turned on options 1 and 3. I could see the Cast option but it shows "Disconnected" as soon I try to connect.

What am I missing?
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
The HDCP change (I believe) makes Chromecast appear in the AllShare Cast Mirroring Screen.

Your effort is appreciated by all r3pwn, but the option to test an experimental hack on a rooted device hardly makes it available to everyone. I have two Android devices that I use with the Chromecast: a tablet that's on an older version of Android and can't be updated to 4.4.4, and a phone that can't be rooted without breaking some things. So, no support for me until Google enables it officially.
