Zero issues here... I use 2 different BT things too, my earbud and a external speaker. Both paired flawlessly, perform the same, and I have not had either device drop connection that I can recall. I have been on 3.0 (2 before that) and experience the same behavior on both... PERFECT!

I am on the newer NC3 just for reference.

I'm trying to help out a friend and update his Galaxy S3 SGH-I747. He originally had cyanogenmod installed but he restored his phone back to stock and flashed a stock recovery back to the phone. When he tries to do an OTA updated it downloads but fails to install? His current android version is 4.1.1 but his baseband is I747UCUFNE4 which if im not mistaken is for android 4.4.2 what would be the easiest way to get his phone updated to the stock 4.4.2 software?

Thanks, I had found the last link (....2789917) by doing a Google search (i.e., searching within the forum was less successful).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Hey bmoliver and BWolf56,

I am in the same boat as your friend where my baseband (bootloader) version is I747UCUFNE4 but the software version is stuck at 4.1.1. AT&T is identifying a OTA update, downloading but the update is failing.

I tried the method described in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789917. But when I am trying to flash MJB bootloader, it is failing. I read elsewhere in this forum that downgrading from UCU to MJB is not really advisable.

I am stuck in 4.1.1 and my phone is half functional at the moment with the camera, nfc, bluetooth not functional :crying:.

Was your friend able to get this resolved bmoliver?

I tried searching for a I747UCUFNE4 md5 file that I can flash using odin (just a hope that it might work) but could not find.

It would be great if one of you can point me to it.

PS: I am a complete newbie to this entire thing and so far from what I read, my phone is probably soft-bricked and am hoping that someone would guide and help me get out of this.

EDIT: One more thing that I observed is when I am trying flash something in the download mode, I get the error and "sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 0" and it fails

Thanks,

CJ
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
You don't want to downgrade bootloaders, that will brick your phone.

You'll have to flash NE4 with Odin (or a NE4 custom ROM through custom recovery) to get your baseband and software matching.

The thread you linked should work if you follow it to a T. If something doesn't work, let us know and be specific about what happened.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks for the info BWolf56,

Sorry for asking a trivial question (just getting accustomed to the lingo used here) .

When you say I should follow it to a T, are you just referring to follow all the steps.

I tried two things

1. follow each step, but failed at step 3 since I was trying to downgrade my bootloader.

2. I jumped from step 2 to step 6 and tried to flash 4.4.2OTA.zip in recovery mode but that also failed. I dont remember the exact error I got, I can try it again to give you more details if you think it is safe.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
If you jumped to #6, you didn't flash a custom recovery, which you need to flash the OTA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I did install TWRP 2.6.3.1 which I am guessing is the custom recovery (as part of step 2) and then I tried to flash the OTA. Am I missing something here?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
What error did you get when flashing it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I just tried flashing it again and got the following error.

I loaded the zip into my internal SD and went to recovery mode (twrp gui, Power+Home+Volume Up)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Sounds like you'll have to use Odin to flash Stock.

Your build.prop is most likely borked (or has been changed to something it's not). d2u is not a variant of the S3, nor does it exist.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks a ton for helping me identify the problem.

I just have to look if a stock file to flash using odin is out there somewhere.

I will post in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789917 to see if enewman17 or someone from the community have a tar or md5 file that I can use.

I will try that and update on how it goes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
You can grab the stock ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33570269#post33570269

Just make sure you grab the right version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks for the pointing me there.

I could not find the stock firmware for NE4 though.

They only have MJ2, LK3, LG1, LEM versions, no MJB either.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
There isn't a NE4 stock for Odin. I just noticed the post hasn't been updated in a while.

I though I could find it on Sammobile.com but they have LK3 as their latest too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Since you somehow have the 4.4.2 modem, you can not flash anything older than the 4.4.2 firmware. Currently there is nothing that you can flash to fix this. Normally, I would say to flash an older modem, but if Odin is seeing it as already updated to 4.4.2 (SWREV 3), and the only thing you have that is 4.4.2 is the modem, flashing anything older will likely hard brick.

You need either the full stock firmware, which there is not one, Thanks AT&T!, or a recovery flashable firmware for 4.4.2. Enewman17 has this, but it will not work for you because of how the modem is flashed. For some reason, he has it patching the 4.3 modem rather than including the full updated one like with the other partitions. If someone makes the same thing, but with the already updated modem, you could probably flash that. No guarantees though. Running 4.1.1 firmware/bootloaders with a 4.4.2 modem is a scenario which is highly unpredictable, so anything you try to flash might cause more problems, we just don't know.

I've PM'd enewman17 to ask if there was a specific reason he updated the modem the way he did. If there is not an issue doing it like i mentioned someone can try to make a new package like that for you to try.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks Doc!

Hopefully enewman17 can come up with a solution for this.

Just an information which I was not able to completely comprehend but maybe pros like you or Bwolf56 will be able to.

I opened Kies and this is what it says.

Firmware information

This is the latest firmware.

Current firmware version: PDA:LK3 / PHONE:NE4 / CSC:LK3 (ATT)

Any thoughts on how do I get the PDA and CSC updated (not even sure what exactly they are)

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Ok, enewman17 just put this together if you want to try it. This includes the full NE4 stock firmware minus system, kernel, cache and recovery.

So flashing it will preserve your current Rom, kernel and recovery, but will otherwise fully update your base firmware/bootloaders to NE4.

This should be perfectly safe to use, but seeing as it is untested, I cannot make any guarantees that it won't make things worse. (I wouldn't post it if I thought it would, but there is always the possibility)

Flash from custom recovery such as TWRP.

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

If you want to fully update your system (rom) to stock NE4, enewman17 has a thread in the development section with stock rooms you can flash via recovery after you update your firmware posted above.

In a desperate measure to get it working, here are a couple of things I tried.

1. I tried flashing the stock ROM enewman17 uploaded in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2788357.

I tried both the Odex and Deodex version. Both of them get flashed successfully but when they boot up, I keep getting the following errors and it fails to boot up.

a) Unfortunately, LogsProvider has stopped

b) Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped

c) Unfortunately, the process com.android.acore has stopped

d) Systems UID inconsistent etc.

2. I tried flashing the 4.4.2 OTA ROM in step 6 of the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789917.

There were a bunch of E:unknown command [install_error] and then it says the flash was successful. However, upon rebooting, it gets stuck at the AT&T logo screen.

Any thoughts, [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION], [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION], [MENTION=3856950]BWolf56[/MENTION].

Now, I am kinda stuck with nothing working :(

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Sounds like there was an error while compiling the zip enewman17 did. TWRP isn't very precise on the error, but seems like an updater-script issue. Chances are that it's something he'll have to fix to make it flashable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Flash it again, but afterwards copy log to sd. Post that here.

As for your other problems, a factory reset will probably sort them out for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Sorry for being away for about a month. I was desperate to get my phone working, so found a spare phone to use. I got back to my S3 just yesterday.

Thank you [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] :highfive:...I cleared my internal sd before flashing the Deodex version enewman17 uploaded in the thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2788357 and it worked like a charm.

I was able to succesfully flash the ROM and phone is functional again now. Thanks a ton :good:.

There are minor issues with the ROM though

- Some apps like Spotify, Whatsapp cannot detect an internal or an external sd card in the phone and don't work.

- Sometimes my 4G dies even though I have full AT&T connectivity but gets resolved if I restart the phone.

I am not worried about these as my phone works now.

I will dig through the forums again to see if there has been an updated new 4.4.2 ROM in the past month that can resolve the minor issues too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
For the sd card issues, you need to flash an insecure, permissive kernel. Also you have to edit a line in the platform.xml.

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

Look for

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>

Change to this (add the 3rd gid)

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>

Im not sure about the mobile data though. What is your baseband?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Sorry for asking a trivial question, but where would I find the permissive kernel.

I installed the android terminal emulator and opened the platform.xml. The <group gid = "media_rw"> is already included in the file.

As far as the mobile data, my baseband version is I747UCUFNE4.

Whatsapp on a whole functions fine (I am able to send and receive texts) but the issue comes when a friend sends a picture or video or some type of media. When I click it to view it, it throws a pop up "The download was unable to complete. Please try again later."

I have tried reinstalling the app but still the same issue.

Thanks,

CJ
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I found this permissive kernel on one of enewman17's post "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789917&page=24"

Stock Kernel, insecure, init.d, sdcard R/W, selinux permissive

http://www.mediafire.com/?oooglrsrna0vony

quick noob question...will flashing this kernel affect the current ROM installed or the data on my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
It wont affect your data. It might change the modules used in the rom though, so if you decided to flash a different kernel later on, you might have to reflash the rom first. I think this is only with certain custom kernels though. Not sure about the one you linked.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeletiko:
Hello..

I would like to know where can I find a ROM to flash to my HTC One M8 (CID HTC__102), exactly equal to the one that comes from HTC (without any modification)?

I thought that this ROM was called stock ROM...but I currently have "Android Revolution HD 8.1 by mike1986" and the ebay seller of my HTC told me that this version is stock... although.. when I try to use some features (for example, "add google account".. I get the error "Cannot connect to google server") they do not work.. and besides this.. if ROM says something like "(...) by mike1986" I believe it's not the original ROM.

If "stock rom" does actually mean an original rom,..is "stock odexed 1.54.401.10" file of mike's site an original rom from HTC? How can I know that it works with my CID?

What's the difference between using the above mentioned stock ROM or a Nandroid (for example the "CID HTC__102 1.12.401.17 - TWRP Thanks to MaximN97" that I saw in this XDA's thread?

Thank you in advance for your help, and my apologies for such noob (and maybe dumb) questions.

All the best,

Trust me... reflash ARHD 8.1 with a clean start and you will love it!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossMacgill:
HTC__001 is unbranded, and anything else is branded or region specific, I would say your better off with what your CID is, so use HTC__002.

Also, might be an idea to stop making new posts, on every question, and keep to the same post, as they are all related to the same thing ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
The rom by Mike is the stock rom but made into a "custom" package. You can even update official ota's with that if you flash the stock recovery after that.

It's the same as a nandroid backup. They are considered de-bloated.

In your case it doesn't matter which one you use (nand or mikes) because they both work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeletiko:
Hello Ross,..

I just made a new post because that particular question about what was "ROM stock" was really confusing me (as almost everything about flashing ROMs:p:p), since everyone was talking about mike's ROMs when I'm asking about original ones..I simply don't want a custom ROM..because I don't needed to..for me is much more important to have full warranty.

In what regards to CID.. and I believe I didn't say that I wanted to change it.. just asked at that time if the de-odexed file was applyable to HTC__102 version.. but never mind.. I will use the Nandroid..

Thanks.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin433:
Hi!

I used my xperia Z2 in a pool with freshwater as far as i know, and took pictures. I've tried it underwater a few times before and I never had problems with the phone until now. After taking a few pictures and recording some 30 sec to 1min videos, the screen suddenly began to flicker and then it died. I dried it as much as i could, and opened the flaps to see if water had entered the phone, and saw some small drops of water inside it, and also noticed that the headphone jack had alot of water inside, which must have been "stuck" inside there, as I had to use a headphone jack to get it out. There was also some condensation under both the front- and backcamera. I tried to turn it on the next day, after I didn't see any condensation under the cameras anymore, but unsuccessfully. I plugged the charger in, and now the red LED turns on (screen doesn't turn on), and turns off after a few seconds/minutes, but it does not react to any buttons. I've also plugged it into my laptop with Sony PC Companion installed, and I hear the "device connect" sound, and also the "device disconnected" sound when I disconnect the USB cable. Is there anything I can do to save it, without having to send it to Sony now?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HugePotato:
Should have put it in the rice for a few days and wait till it dries off. One day is not enough because the phone is quite sealed and its hard to get water out of there. Turning it on could have been stupid thing to do and could have destroyed the phone. Anyway try to put it in the rice in a dry place for 3 or more days and then try again. If it doesn't work then sorry bro.
