That failed because as soon as I tried to reboot the phone, it lost all ability to re-mount the SD. It does that every time I restart the phone and I ALWAYS have to format the card and put it back in the phone to make it work. Is this just a CM11 thing? Because its a real nuisance.
[Defy Themes and Apps] guruzen:
Hello Defy Fans,

Three steps to make your CM 10/11 look like Android L.

1. Install Xposed Framework from http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.ro...osed.installer

2. Install Android L Theme from http://xdaforums.com/xpos...theme-t2803003

3. Set Android L Theme as a module in Xposed framwork under modules section.

Additionally, you can install KK Launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...launcher&hl=en

and set Android L Theme pack.

Do try

Hi! I'm a newbie here but I flashed my Note 8 to 4.4.4 Kitkat custom rom and im loving it. Though I need your help as I need Polaris Office back to my Note 8 before flash of custom rom. I tried the one in playstore but its unlike the one in the samsung galaxy apps store in which you could save to the device itself and unfortunately the threads and downloads of apk available are for older versions which lack some functionality. So with that may I please request to everyone to please post an extracted "Polaris Office 5.0 for Tablet" apk from the galaxy app store in the thread and also to help others in the same dillema as me. (Note: Polaris Office 5 from S4 or phones are different from the one mentioned above) The help would be very much appreciated. :)

Hi! I need some serious help. I accidentally bricked my phone while updating the Bootloader.

It's a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L (T-Mobile, but it works with my Vodaphone SIM)

Absolutely nothing on the screen, no boot, no recovery mode (just installed CWM), no download mode. Just a red LED when plugged in via USB.

Device Manager shows this: "QHSUSB_DLOAD"

I live in Egypt so there's no such thing as 'insurance' or 'warranty'.

I tried the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439367

Didn't work.

Is this the end? Or is there yet hope for it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Need to know the details of what you flashed and what steps you followed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kygies27:
I just installed the CWM custom recovery via Android Toolkit, and was preparing to flash Cyanogen. It said that an S3 needed a Bootloader update to install Cyanogen versions greater than 10.1, So I followed the links and I think I accidentally flashed the Bootloader for SGH-T999 (not the T999L).

CWM said it succeeded, rebooted the phone (did not fix root when it asked), and it just never turned on since (it's been a while)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kygies27:
P.s: Idk if this even matters when its as deep as the Bootloader, but the phone had been rooted for months before.

Oh, and I found this and am downloading the latest T999L in case I need it if ODIN can help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439367

And from yet more Google I found these drivers, but it won't let me post outside links

But Device Manager says "Driver is not intended for this platform."

That's all I got so far, will keep looking for a good driver and check this thread as often as I can
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kygies27:
This is gonna probably sound stupid, but I tried an emergency recovery with Kies, but it needed me to get it in Recovery Mode.

No change so far. Any help finding the right drivers would be very helpful.

It seems if I can just find the corresponding hex files, etc, this could work.

Or I could somehow reprogram my CPU and make things even worse...

I'm really stuck now.

P.s: I've ofc by now seen nearly everyone go for a JTAG repair. I will check the shops around here when they open, but I don't know if they can do anything about it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Jtag should be able to repair that kind of brick. Unfortunately, when its due to flashing a different devices firmware, our device methods won't usually work.

You can try the d ebrick method we have posted in development, but just don't expect much. (You never know though, you might get lucky).

I doubt following this instructions will work as they are for a different device. Big risk to try it imo. Might make it non-recoverable by any means. (The process might work, I don't know, but you'd likely need specific files for your device).

Jtag is probably your best option. And in the future, stay away from the toolkit! Its bricked a number of devices and the dev just ignores support requests, even from those who buy it...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kygies27:
Yeah, shops open soon so hopefully I can see what can be done.

I figured not to bother with the qualcomm tools, messing with things I didn't quite understand was how I got in this trouble in the first place.

But just to clarify something, the Android Toolkit wasn't what bricked it, I tried to install the firmware from a .zip on my SDcard viz CWM recovery, but it was the wrong one (I was so damn sure I was T999, not T999L).

Thank you guys for all the help, I'll post if the guy fixes it!

I know, I only mentioned it because you mentioned using it. Just warning you for the future is all.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yezz007:
Of course you can root it.

The risk is loosing your warranty, which is unavoidable. If you can't live without warranty, then don't.

There is alot of things you can do with root.

I personally think it's a bad idea too root SM-G900H, since the other version can be rooted without loosing warranty.

Try using Heimdall. Use this pit file ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53455783) with the 4.0.4 stock ROM from samfirmware.com and flash it using Heimdall with repartition checked. This is what worked for me when nothing else did. I was using Linux, but there is Heimdall for windows. Make sure you install Heimdall and Heimdall frontend as the frontend makes it a lot easier. Run the frontend for the above steps.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
I don't have a link for the drivers (I use Linux, so there is no need for drivers,) but a Google search should lead you in the correct direction. Also, make sure you run Heimdall as admin, or the device might not be recognized. To get the individual files, decompress the tar.md5 or .tar file.

You do not want to use "Load Package." Go to the flash tab. First try it without repartition checked. Use 4.0.4 from samfirmware.com with this pit file. I have an image below explaining everything hopefully.

I just saw the Windows 8.1 part. Windows 8 can sometimes cause problems with Odin, but it is worth trying Heimdall. If you have a Linux machine and Windows doesn't work, I would try that.

No, you do not have to do it in terminal. There is a heimdall.deb file and a heimdall-frontend.deb file. Make sure you are using debian based linux like ubuntu or mint. I have been working on my site today so it should be less confusing now. I'm not sure why they though it was a good idea to use the word view instead of download though...

Heimdall for Linux:

I've added a file called android.rules.zip to the Hercules > other folder. Download that file and extract it. Put the 2 ***.rules files in /etc/udev/rules.d and mark them as executable. Reboot the computer. Open heimdall frontend with terminal command sudo heimdall-frontend

Try doing the same thing. If that doesn't work, hopefully somebody else can figure out why it is not working because it should have by now...
