[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] admc6:
So here's my situation.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 I535 I have been using on Verizon's network for about 2 years. I am switching to a local carrier that shares towers with Verizon. I am trying to use my I535 on the local carrier. I got a SIM card from the local carrier, put that in my phone and I can make calls and receive text messages but not send them.

In order to attempt to resolve this issue I planned to Wipe the phone and put a custom ROM on to ensure that none of Verizon's software or settings is preventing the texting from working. Problem is I am running KitKat version 4.4.2 that has Verizon's bootloader lock.

I got the phone rooted via Towelroot and CW ROM Manager installed. (rebooted into recovery mode got the "Verizon found unauthorized software yada yada." Got the phone back to a "normal" state with 4.4.2 rooted.)

My questions are:

1. Do you think putting a custom ROM on the phone will resolve my ability to send text messages?

2. Texting works on these same towers using Verizon. Can the backend hardware at Verizon allow the phone to work properly, but not the local carrier? (I have verified Local carrier Galaxy S3 is a different model number)

3. Is it possible to overwrite the bootloader/rom via ODIN

4. Is it possible to brick a phone so bad that you cant even reload the default OS via ODIN
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
1. Sounds to me like it's not sim unlocked.

2. A custom rom may or may not work in this case, if your on the 4.4.2 OTA your limited to two current roms other than stock using safestrap, disregard the custom rom part

3. The bootloader is locked so once again your limited

4. And yes you could very well hard brick the phone while not doing something correctly

Thanks for the Reply

1. I called Verizon when I was planning to switch. They told me my phone is unlocked to use on any carrier. They also gave me the code '000000' if it isn't unlocked. I never received an error message or a place to put an unlock code when using the new SIM. Do you have a link I can reference to ensure that it is unlocked? I have done several searches and haven't found anything that works. There are several that say to type in secret code *#XXXX# but my phone just attempts to make a call and says "not a valid number". Any help is appreciated.

2. Are you saying that i would be able to put a custom ROM on like Jelly 'Beans' or Clean ROM? If yes, can you post a link for that as well? I have done some extensive searching and most of the results applied to phones that were pre 4.4.x release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I honestly know nothing about sim unlocking. If it's on 4.3 or 4.4 and it took the OTA your very very limited to what roms you can flash.

Is there anyway to find out what's causing this? Only thing I can think of would be Snapchat maybe.. That's the only app I know of that will turn it on if I get a message but it keeps coming on randomly with no message or anything. Sometimes it'll happen if I just turn it off, it will instantly come back on again.

Also when this does occur the screen orientation is wacky like it's supposed to be locked on portrait on the home screen but it will rotate any and every direction

[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
No clue. Does the issue go away if u uninstall snapchat?
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
Looks like it might've been the micro USB charging port. It was bent upwards and apparently shorting out my phone making things weird. I bent it back for not but who knows if it'll happen again. I found the answer in a Google search.

HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
No not the charging port. Called virgin mobile and they said pull the battery and rub with posts with a pencil eraser. Doubt this will work.. Said call back if it happens again and they'll send a replacement

Update: the screen wake problem hasn't happened again since I rubbed the posts like VM told me.. I'm surprised.

Does anybody have any tips on cleaning the tiny speaker holes at the top and bottom of the phone?

They're far too small to fit anything in there and I don't want to risk damaging any components.

Suggestions?

I've seen some folks use a toothbrush on my previous device forum (One X EVITA). Although others have raised the point that this is just pushing any debris

Hello..Agree this a great phone indeed..But feel sorry for what LG had done for this phone..it seems to be forgoten by G3 series
[LG G Pro 2] ray-lee:

the original G Pro got attention but with the release of G3, not much marketing for G Pro 2.

My colleagues moved to the G3 and they said it's worse than the G2. Laggy and battery life is poor. Wireless charging so-so.

If the GP2 had more attention, there would be a lot more after market accessories available too. Similarly, more custom roms and other dev work.
[LG G Pro 2] surya.putra:
Yes..agree mate..I still love this phone anyway.. After all, custom rom already available in development thread.

anyone?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
Pandora kernel is not supported by your pico so its bootlooping simple..

Or create a partition again then try if still not booting then the kernel is not supporting your device.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] yag1z:
but why? every pico isn't same?:confused: i tried, the problem is every kernel on my pico >:(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
Set the frequencies to 787 see if it bootloops if not its ok. But when you select 800 it bootloops then your device doesnt support 800 and beyond that.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] DubbaThony:
Hello all!

last month i had a strange death zones on my screen, so I decided to send my phone to get it repaied, but first I needed restock.

I had CM11, CWM, unlocked BL.

First, I used "all in one [p880]" to restock recovery and lock it (option 7 and 5)

Second, I wanted to flash system by s/w and relock BL.

and now I'm stuck without system becouse s/w fails allways. sometimes it dosen't start, sometimes it starts by "start upgrade". If I press normal web upgrade test and get info, it or freezes (need to restart program) or says, there is no device. I tried reinstalling drivers, tried flashtool, that fails on 17th second, and leaves no log only thing in log is result failed.

now, i can't run system, even stock recovery, only "s/w upgrade" and notice, that BL is unlocked... is my phone empty?

anyone have idea how to force it to flash? i need a phone, it was only I had...

Que room vietnamita usaste?, yo use la que es un archivo .b1 (la del pass: phuctoanstore). esa es la que use para armar la con android 5

No trataste de flasharla nuevamente a ver si se soluciona?... yo no se ya la cantidad de veces que he flashado esa room, ya que hay otras roms que me brikean el celular (o fix del android) y tengo que iniciar todo desde 0 jejeje...
[General Questions and Answers] bodorola:
mira flashee muchas veces y si puse esa room archivo .b1 (la del pass: phuctoanstore), inclusive restaure el backup y hace lo mismo asi que creo yo que se jodio el touch

[General Questions and Answers] cicklow:
el backup tmb esta afectado?... es raro que el backup te deje de funciona :/ ... en la ROM CM12 no funciona el MTK, solo en la original o la vietnamita...

Si fuera en el android 5.1.1 te digo como solucionarlo, ya que se saca archivos de la rom vietnamita para solucionar el touch... pero si ya la vietnamita no te funciona bien el touch es raro...
[General Questions and Answers] bodorola:
sino es molestia explicame como poner ese archivo total ya no tengo nada que perder gracias

Pasas de la ROM w3500 vietnamita a la de android 5.1.1

system/lib/libinput.so

system/usr/*

O descargas este ZIP, y lo flasheas desde el recovery->install zip

Hola! Ya deje un comentario en tu blog y al parecer tengo el mismo problema que bodorola, el tactil se desconfiguró y las teclas de navegación ya no funcionan aunque vayas a los ajustes de Resurrection, es como si la resolución no fuera la correcta y hay botones de navegacion invisibles en la parte inferior de la pantalla

ejemplo i.imgur.com /hft9KXA.jpg (no puedo psotear links)
[General Questions and Answers] Deyklax:
Funciona correctamente ?

Me encantó la idea de que ahora esté la ROM de lollipop para este celular pero por los comentarios se dice que el touch empieza a fallar. Me recomiendan instalarla o quedarme con android 4.2.2?
[General Questions and Answers] cicklow:
Edita build.prop /system/build.prop y elimina esto "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" (sin comillas)...

Puedes usar algun editor para build.prop o con es file explorer podes hacerlo... La resolucion esta bien... el w3500 usa 240DPI... pero puedes cambiarlo desde las opciones de pantalla a ver si eso te soluciona...

Tambien puedes ver de aplicarle el parche que coloque mas arriba...

Probaste con alguna APK del market para reparar el touch?...

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Yo no tengo problema alguno con la ROM, es mas estoy armando otra ROM (haciendo PORT de otra ROM "MinimalOS"), el touch una sola ves me fallo con otra ROM pero reinicie y salio andando...

Tengo las actualizaciones del W3500 con 4.2.2 (ya que existen actualizaciones pero Philips no las entrega)... solo que son en formato distinto al que se usa para hacer ROM, asique estoy viendo como armar la ROM original y que funcione todo...
[General Questions and Answers] Wassaaaa:
Probé lo de modificar la build.prop pero no funcionó, cambiando dpi tampoco y por el momento al instalar el parche se reincia el recovery.

Apps para reparar el touch no conozco, luego voy a investigar un poco pero lo raro es que esto tambien me pasa con la rom original vietnamita que posteaste

Mira esta imagen

i.imgur.com/ Gth3Qq2.jpg

eso me pasa, se ve bien pero se interpone esa barra de navegación invisible y se distorsiona el resto del tactil, desactivando los botones hardware solo deja un espacio en que no pasa nada al tocar donde estaba la barra de navegación invisible

Es dificil de explicar pero muy facil de entender a la vista, digamos que si hubiera una forma de "estirar" el tactil y que llegue a los botones hardware de navegación se solucionaria el inconveniente.
[General Questions and Answers] cicklow:
mmm es raro, el: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 lo que hace es ocultar los botones virtuales en la pantalla, como el w3500 viene con botones fisicos por eso coloque esa opcion en el build.prop...

He visto en varios otros foros que hacen un wipe cache y al iniciar tienen bien el touch...tendrias que ver de iniciar en recovery y borrar el cache y ver si se soluciona...

Lo que me extraña es que en la ROM vietnamita tambien pase, ya que esa no se edito en nada...

Respecto a calibrar: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934500

Testea este FIX: https://mega.nz/#!wwtyGIaR!-8iDwcAboYjgfySuLIf3awegnvtJI1GArFCgmiXNPPg

Son las opciones de pantalla y demas del w3500 original...

Lo tienes que hacer desde install zip en recovery...
[General Questions and Answers] Wassaaaa:
Lo de los botones virtuales los puse yo desde las configuraciones de resurrection solo para guiarme un poco en donde tocar, ya estaba desactivado por defecto :)

Y otra cosa, sigo teniendo problemas con el recovery CWM, se me reinicia a los pocos segundos de iniciar e instalando MTK-PhilZ o Easy Magic TWRP hace que quede atascado en el logo de Philips

De alguna forma habia conseguido hacer funcionar el recovery CWM luego de instalarlo varias veces para testear Resurrection Remix.

Voy a volver al 4.4.2, instalar recovery e instalar Resurrection + parche
[General Questions and Answers] cicklow:

ahora estoy armando una nueva ROM, esta funciona todo, hasta el sensor de proximidad... solo le tuve que arreglar la cámara, sonido y wifi, por lo demás funciona bien (hasta el GPS)... la estoy testeando bien a ver si da algun problema...

No probaste formatear el celular desde el Flash Tools?... en la primera opcion le das formatear y luego flasheas la ROM...

Probaste flashearlo sin la bateria? le das a download y luego conectas el celular sin bateria.

Colocaste bien el scatter? osea cada ROM que flasheas tiene su scatter, colocale el del 4.2.2, ya que puede que el del 4.4.2 no sea el mismo...

El flash tools es el 5.1552?

Es muy raro, en el recovery haciendo el key test registra los botones de navegación como parte del tactil con el numero 330 creo, me di cuenta que hay una pequeña zona muerta del tactil en toda la parte vertical derecha utilizando la rom resurrection. Por ultimo, estuve probando un poco ADB Tools para ver si podia solucionarlo pero no encuentro un comando para activar las "soft keys" o como se le llame, lo unico que pude hacer para aguantar y poder usar mi smartphone es reducir la parte inferior de la pantalla con el comando adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,75
