I guess I'm going to another computer. Hopefully I get some better results.

---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

What operating system do you have?

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 AM ----------

it still fails, same as earlier. I don't know what else to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Surgeman:
I'm running windows 7 x64...If you're running 8 I have seen some instances it will give failure errors...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] UnselfishEel98:
I'm on 8. I went to a different computer that has 7x64 on it, but it still failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Surgeman:
Have you tried loading the pit file also?Or tried a different usb cable?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] UnselfishEel98:
pit file? And I can try a different USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Surgeman:
Try a different usb cable first....The pit file is your partition file for the internal memory...If it's corrupt it will fail also...If you need the pit file send me a pm and and email and I'll just email it to you...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] UnselfishEel98:
Does anyone have the pit file for 4.4.2? I still can't get my phone working. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] meraz9000:
you don't need the pit file. Also if it fails it could be due to a bad download or your usb cable/port. And I can also confirm that purchasing the OEM LCD assembly will fix the bootloop for galaxy megas that were repaired with cheap screens. The touchscreen firmware gets updated but that update is only intended for the samsung controller and obviously the chinese knock offs don't come with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Surgeman:
Yes Sunderwear it will take the OEM screen to resolve the boot loop issue since we have no way to fast boot the phone to replace the original driver...I have feeling that unselfish is going to need the pit file to restore it back up with the new firmware....Something on his end is corrupt and making his phone reject the flash...If you have the Binary 4 pit file could you post that also...The older pit files for the i527 are Binary 3 and won't work...

I've also sent him a pm and told him to try to recover it in Kies recovery in download mode..Hopefully Kies will bring it back up for him...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] meraz9000:
here's the pit file I used.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] UnselfishEel98:
Okay, I'm trying again with a different USB port. (By the way, that PIT file is the same, so it must not be that.)

Sorry for all of the replies, but if i use the old firmware file to try to downgrade, the one in the link you gave me earlier, will it flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Surgeman:
If it's updated your bootloader you can't downgrade...Put it in download mode and see if the ap swver is 3 or 4?If it's 3 you can...if 4 no you'll have to update to kit kat unless sunderwear has the bootloader for JB....The bootloader will have to be downgraded also...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] UnselfishEel98:
Its 4... Dang, even i f I could, the file I downloaded has a bad md5 too.

i527 AT&T Mega touch screen not working after trying this method. Anyone else having these issues?

oem screen issue

Just wondering what kind of trouble people are having a replaced mine. and after the update. i would just boot loop. when i booted into recovery it said something like non authorized att software has been found. so i did all the odin steps. and everything was successful. but it still boot loops. and when I go into recovery it just says booting recovery then restarts. just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. Thanks!!!!

My screen wasn't oem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] billa:
Is it safe to Odin flash the bootloader files over 4.4.2? If not, any other method to load them?

Thanks,

BillA
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] superhtchd2:
so if the screen has been replaced the phone boot loops in 4.4.2? i just got a mega off ebay and was on 4.2.2 i updated it and now its stuck in boot loop. has no recovery , can put it in download mode though. cant tell if the screen has been replaced or not. anyone have a stock mega and have a bootlooop issue after taking the update? this sucks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Oxicottin:
Yep your phone screen was broke and replaced at one point.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] superhtchd2:
well i just got lucky, took the phone to my local att which has a repair center inside. didnt mention the screen issue just said i just got a ota update and now the phone is stuck in boot loop. they tried to flash it twice with no luck. they gave me a brand new mega no charge. im go phone cust also. and bought the phone used on ebay. got lucky on that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Oxicottin:

Replacement screens cause bootloop

Hello I own a repair shop in Hamtramck Michigan and I can verify that we have confirmed that the after market screens are the cause of the Galaxy Mega boot loop problem.

We have 2 mega's both AT&T and they will not accept an aftermarket screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alex852:
Appreciate the help man. I got our 2 fixed now. I bought 2 new screens from this seller:

http://www.ebay.com/usr/gadgetfix?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2754

Now, we have 4 Megas 6.3's working!!!!!!! This gadgetfix seller is legit, and they work for 4.4.2

Thank you for all the help guys!:)

Will post results after flashing. :)

How did it work out?I'm having the same issue and need to find a really cheap oem screen.. wish I could just downgrade back to jelly bean and have a working phone ughh someone please help!*
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
I haven't received the screen yet. I'll be sure to post pictures when it arrives
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
Success. The screen boots and works fine. Seller name is nypc tech. Item number 360999705453. Please order your screens now at $90 before price jumps up. I just order the more screen from him/her. Remember if buying from another seller, the digitizer has to be synaptics or it won't boot.

3g issue

Hello guys, am having this particular model and the pain is I don't have lte yet in my country but we have 3g networks operations here. Ever since I had this phone, I have not been able to turn the 3g on. It always on edge. I have use the key combination to bring back the hidden TESTING option trying to change it to wdcma only but the network does show even though it does on a different fone. Was running 4.2.2 and it was having the same issue. Thought I could get the 3g after flashing the 4.4.2 but it still the same issue.

Need help pls.

Do I need to back up or anything?

Hello guys I am usually really good with android phone with roms and stuff but havent done it in awhile my phone wont update for some reason with OTA so I found this and was wondering should I just flash it with odin or do I need to download a program to back up my phone? I just dont want anything to go wrong I seen that some people got repairs done to their screens and it messed their phones up but mine is pretty much brand new so hopefully this shouldnt happen.

Any tips would be helpful before I try this

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] alex852:
In my case, two of the 4 Megas I have, did not update properly because we had aftermarket cheap screens. The new update 4.4.2 actually scans your phone to verify you have genuine parts. Before you update, I would of course back up everything (pix, mp3, videos, downloadable stuff, contacts, etc.). I woulds also see if you plug it to Kies, it might update something on the firmware, so it allows you to update via Wifi OTA. If it still doesn't allow you to update, just back up everything on the phone, and follow the instructions on Page 1.

I did update the firmware on my son's phone using the instructions on page 1, and its still working flawlessly. Too bad he just broke his screen yesterday, so I'm on the lookout to buy a new OEM screen that supports 4.4.2.

Good luck my friend!

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

The seller I posted earlier told me he cannot guarantee they will work for 4.4.2 anymore, so WarriorPluto, I took your old advice, and just place an order for 2 of the screens you recommend that will work on 4.4.2. Will post results once I receive them. Thank you!!!!! Again, my kids broke their phones... AGAIN $127.80... this should be their Christmas present. Too much money spent on screens!!!!!!

Have a great one!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] otfcorey_:
Thank you I will try tomorrow or something and let everyone know how it goes hope nothing goes wrong.

Okay, I have an ATT Mega i527, running 4.4.2 and want to get root. So, If I do all of this in Odin, I should be able to get root? I haven't been able to get it on any of the other programs (Kingo, Towelroot) so far, should I try this or just wait it out for someone to release a root method? I've seen some recent buzz about it either happening, or about to happen and being released soon. What is my best option at this point to achieve root of my phone? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] abrham57:
Root

There is no publicly known way to root the i527 on 4.4.2. There is a website that will root it for under $50, however.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JoshRyan1978:
Do you mind telling me what that website is, please? I am getting so frustrated, I may just decide to pay and have someone who knows what they are doing do it.

Latest rooting method.

Hey there im a noob but have some experience lol. I can vouch this last root method works, but since i have done so it messed my signal. I have the ATT I527, I Checked to see if my apn settings had changed or baseband. Sure enough it turned my modem into the sprint version l600. I dont know if anyone else has had this problem? I have also disassembled my mega and checked for a broken antenna so far it seems this root method messed it up.

OK so here is a legit question....Does anyone know how to check the screen model without pulling the phone apart. Just had a new screen put in my Mega because I butterfingered my new nexus 6 and well the screen for the nexus is still close to $300.00 installed, and the mega was $150.00 installed, (always buy the Fu(king insurance folks, unlike my hard head.... grrrrr!!! I butterfingered that also) I called the repair shop and the screen they installed on my phone was the last one they had, and they had not done one for a while, so no one knows who the manufacturer was.... They couldn't tell me if it was OEM or not. I had not been to this thread in a while so I didn't know to ask before they put it in. would like to update, glad I read read read before do do do.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Rohan8900:
Im lost, Must you load all the files at the same time or in the order they are given individually, because there are no instructions here, and also it will not let me load the AP file into odin, it gives the error "md5 error! Binary is invalid." anyone can confirm that this actually worked seeing as odin doesn't even accept the files.

I used Kingroot as well.

Downloaded the apk, installed, ran it, and got root.

I'm running Kit Kat as it was installed on the phone when I got it.

I got a great deal on the phone and it was brand new and unlocked when I got.

Seems that I may have wasted my money though. There's no real dev support for it, so I guess I'm relegated to just removing the AT&T and Samsung bloatware, and changing the launcher...
