I think usb debugging isn't needed for flashmode.

reinstall flashtool(download the latest version!), maybe there are problems with the flash drivers..

Which ROM exactly you wanna flash, stock Kitkat by SONY?

My friend dared me to throw my gs3 at the wall for $500 (bought the gs3 for 400). The screen cracked of course, it won't turn on, but the touch key light still work, the notification light still work. I can play music with an earbud that has a play button. I downloaded Kies, but then it wouldn't connect, I opened up the folder, and it was blank.

Questions: Are there any cheap screens that I can buy? $20-$50?

What can I do about the memory?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duhvietboy:
And I do have phone tools.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
You broke more than the screen, the digitalizer most likely gave out too and that's a pricy part.

Chances are that you messed up your motherboard as well (the internal memory is in it), which is most likely why you're not getting any connection through usb.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tx Redneck:
Unless your "friend" welched on his end, you should have enough to buy a decent, used device on swappa. And if they didn't pay, it's just as well, that was a moronic thing to do.

Hey,

I have a really annoying problem with my phone. When I installed any (probably some work) JB or KK rom my phone randomly freezes then reboots. It does it like 5 mins after boot or even during the boot! IT'S SO F***ING ANNOYING PLEASE, I BEG U HELP ME FIX IT:crying:!

I googled, I looked around on this website and in the comments of the roms but theres nothing. So I created my own thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
What is your flashing process?

How clean is it?

Name a rom or two where you are having issue.

Sometimes you just need to go back to beginning (flash back to stock) and clear out that extra garbage. I just had to do that last night. Maybe about the 4th time ive had to do it in 2 years.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] szturchen_pl:
Hello everyone,

I've discovered quite useful thing about contacts manager, but unfortunately don't know how to turn it on or off, it starts, let's say randomly.

Sometimes when (on today screen) i press right softkey which is by default assigned to 'contacts' and i get a list of names, i see something like a pop-up window with letter 'A' and by using the jogdial on the left side of the TyTN i can switch between the first letters of the names in contacts. Then i can select exact name without scrolling through all of the contacts in between A and f.e. G.

Unfortunately i don't know what is the cause of starting this feature, people at HTC support don't know nothing about it, and told me that it must be some kind of software glitch :p however I find it very useful, maybe someone else got the same thing? And someone does know how can it be turned on that it happens every time i want to find a contact? that would really be operating with one hand then ;)

thanks in advance for opinions and advices
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
If it's what I think you mean, go to contacts.

For example, hold down down (on the dpad). It'll start scrolling the list for approx 5 seconds. After that, the large letter A will show up. Use the dpad to select appropriate contact start.

Otherwise use the sip to start typing your contact.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] padlad:
It works on all variants of the Tytn, you just go to contacts, press and hold down on the d pad and in a couple of seconds the 'pop up window' appears with a large letter, it just makes it easier to scroll through the contacts without having to get the stylus out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] szturchen_pl:
Thanks guys !!

That's the 'pop-up' that I meant. Pressing and holding d-pad works. However I occasionaly get it when using jog-dial. In my opinion that would be even better for operating TyTN with one hand. Any clues on this one?

I'm new to the S5 I already rooted my phone but I would like to flash custom roms. I been reading how to use SS what I don't get is can I flash on stock slot or I have to create one? I know on the guide says we are suppose to create a slot but some guys here on the forum say we can flash on the stock one.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wise7326:
I believe flashing to stock rom slot is currently disabled in SS.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoresteve626:
Why would it be "disabled"? I've been flashing custom Roms to my stock slot on my N3 AND S5 without any issues... even as recent as about 45 mins ago.

To the OP... A lot of people make a nandroid backup of their system and store it on their external SD card and PC and then flash whatever ROM they want in the stock slot. I prefer it that way so that I always have a correct reading on my storage space. Sure, every now and then I flash something that isn't for me or is very buggy but I just re-flash my backup and I'm good to go. Besides, having the ability to flash the stock firmware via Odin makes it a lot less scary as you can always go back to stock firmware if all else fails.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nylem:
Hello ,

I bought a SM900F from UK a while ago and it was unlocked. I was capable of using 4G network there easily with no problems, but recently I have come to Dubai and am not able to hop on the 4G network . I have checked all the settings and made sure I had the 4G sim/ 4G data bundle and so on , but still same problem.

As per Wiki : Etisalat	United Arab Emirates	1800	3	FDD	September 2011	[500]

Etisalat United Arab Emirates 2600	7	FDD	September 2011	[520]

My operator provides 4G on 1800 and 2600 Frequencies which are supported by SM900F. Just to clarify , this unit had never been locked .

So now im sitting here confused on what I need to do to get my 4G working , Im always connected to H and H+ .

Thanks in Advance ,

Nylem

Thanks for the reply ,

I have done that but still no hope :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Your phone should support those LTE bands.

Confirm that the band /frequency information isn't outdated.

Are you in an area where the carrier doesn't have LTE coverage?

Open a support ticket to investigate if the carrier has provisioned your account /SIM correctly for LTE.

Look at the various online forums and find out if others are getting LTE in your location.

Set what the LTE signal strength is in the S5 service menu.

Set a preference for LTE in the service menu.

Possibly you are getting 4G, bit the onscreen icon is just incorrect?

Try updating or changing your 900F modem.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nylem:
Thanks for the swift response mate ,

1) Band/Frequency are all compatible with the phone

2) The whole city is LTE covered ( specially mine that I live in the center ) .

3) Already working on a ticket with the carrier :D , but they say problem is from my side

1) I set the LTE Signal , Lost all connection

2) I put bearer as LTE , Lost all connection

3) Could be a possibility

Can you kindly forward me or show me the path to where I can change my 900F modem to a more international one , Thanks a bunch !

<3
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Something is probably misconfigured or misprovisioned. But regardless, the issue will only be solved by paying attention to details and a process of elimination (of the possible causes).

The most productive single thing that you could do at this point would be to borrow a known working LTE SIM from a neighbour and see if works in your handset. Whatever the result, it would narrow down the possible culprits.

Also, don't assume that the frequencies are correct. Confirm with the carrier that they haven't changed or added new LTE bands.

Make the effort to find out what forums your carriers' customers usually frequent and look at recent posts there for seredipitious insights that you won't find elsewhere.

Don't dismiss the icon idea out of hand. Are your

speeds

indicative of an LTE connection?

You don't need a more "international" modem. Just a more current 900F one. Or less commonly, an alternate or older modem if your current one has a bug. Do a forum search for threads about changing modems. There are a lot of them. Don't fixate on this - it's one of the least likely possibilities.

Also consider updating to Android 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 which is said to address some connectivity bugs.

I've had the developer edition since may 15th and I have seen very poor development on it since it's launch, now that the retail version has root I've seen more action even for the dev edition so my question is? How may of you have the developer edition and why aren't you developing? LMAO... My own answer is I'm not a developer but it bought i because I love root ASAP I get a phone plus I like to flash custom kernels and Rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
This is the main reason why most people hope and pray for retail versions to get unlocked/rooted. There's not as much support for DE phones, therefore not as many people working on them. Some other carrier's ROMs work on Verizon, so you can trial an error there. Only downside right now to retail is locked bootloader, so no custom kernels but this phone already flies
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] vfnewman:
I'm grandfathered into VZW's unlimited 4G. If I were to buy a subsidized phone, the first thing they'd do would be to force me into a tiered plan. For that reason I only buy unsubsidized phones. Since I'm paying full price, why not get the developer phone? I've been using a Galaxy Nexus since the release date and have been ROMing it ever since I got it, so I'm not new to this, and I don't know how I could survive without a rooted phone.

I just got mine three days ago. I haven't put a custom ROM on it yet. I want to make sure the build I use is compatible with the Developer Edition. For now, I'm happy with the phone and having root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jpcalhoun:
I've had the Develop Edition since early June. I previously had a S4 Developer Edition. I too am not a developer and I avoid having a phone I can not root. True, development for the S5 has been pretty slow, but now with root and Safestrap for the retail version there are a number of custom ROMs (a couple of really good ones) becoming available. I'm currently running the custom ROM by elliweg and loving it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xsteven77x:
From someone who has been in the XDA world since the advent of android, i will say that this is probably as good as it's ever going to get. Only thing that will change that is an unlocked bootloader, but listening to people in the know, the chances of that happening are .0001%. Devs generally don't wanna get a phone that they can't really develop for. And the handful of people on XDA who actually have the kind of knowledge to crack the bootloader do not seem to be very interested in our phone. I have kinda just accepted that if i wanna be a crack flasher i'm gonna have to get it a new phone.

A phone being super popular and garnering lots of attention no longer guarantees alot of development around it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
Ehhh I don't really agree. It's not that people aren't knowledgeable, it's that this phone can't be cracked for an unlocked BL. The S4 still hasn't been cracked in over a year now. The popular phones DO get the most attention, especially Samsung devices.

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] razzrmaxx:
Just to clear thing up in case you didn't know the Original software for the s4 did get the bootloader unlocked, of coarse then there was a patch to it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
Well yeah, MDK baseband, I never updated (cause I'm not stupid) and had that until I sold it and got the S5..missing an unlocked BL with AOSP stuff, but I can manage now that we have root and multiple sweet ROMs.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] shootind5nukes:
I positive this will be considered a stupid question but I'm curious as to why we can't dd an unlocked bootloader off a dev edition and flash it onto a non-dev edition. I know it's not possible, just curious as to why. Is it because the dev edition is a totally different phone so this signature doesn't match? Are we not sure which partition it's on?

I think because Verizon stinks

Good luck on any AOSP ROM. From what I can tell they're a long way from getting an AOSP ROM stable enough for anyone to use as a daily driver. That may change given enough time, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xenithxzavier:
Its slow going right now. I honestly Dont know another device from Verizon that has more active development though, which is why I'm going with s5. Figured I could bounce between unified Roms like slimrom and whatever's in the Verizon threads I haven't looked. There's also a new unofficial cyan build up in unified droif4lif3 from elelinux.

NE9

Anyone with Dev Ed. running an NE9 ROM stabile? I've flashed the NE9 modem in Odin, and an NE9 based ROM and having lots of issues none of the retail GS5 users are experiencing. Wondering if there is something different I need to be doing on a Dev Ed.?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] trueagle:
I have beanstown stock odex ne9 with ncg modem it is awesome. No issues had to wipe all flash and reload from scratch. It's excellent
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] t3t5u0:
Interesting, thanks for the response. I'll roll back to NCG modem and see if that resolves any issues. So by 'wipe all flash' I presume you simply mean a factor reset type flash in TWRP, or something deeper. I'm really cautious about not bricking my Dev. Ed. and don't want to flash any more than necessary.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] timeToy:
Dev. Ed. running NE9 here, no specific issues to speak of. I also have flashed the Modem and Kernel with Odin, I'm running BeansTown106's base with a lot of the bloat frozen and I have a few Xposed modules as well.

Did you flash the Kernel too? (the NE9 Kernel is dated Thu Jul 17 in Settings->About Phone.)

So I think we have to solve it by ourself - if somebody wants to help me accessing this sensor or share information, please let me know. I got much more experiance programming an app than hacking hardware. :-\

Good luck guys I got faith someone can do this!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisM75:
I seriously doubt it would be much use beyond a few metres, the laser is far too weak and the receiver far too small. Its designed to be useful only up to the point that the camera needs it, generally speaking a few metres, beyond that the camera doesnt need to focus any further, its just going into infinite mode.

If the laser doesnt see any return of the beam it will just assume the focus needs to be infinite, its also possible the camera uses both the laser and contrast or phase detection depending on the situation. Anandtech believes the laser helps the camera to decide which mode to use, turning on the macro automatically and near instantly. The camera doesnt even need to try to focus in order to work out whats going on. This is why its so fast to focus and switch modes.

The further away the focal point is the less useful the laser is and the less needed it is anyway, if the laser cant provide useful data the camera will use traditional contrast detection.
