[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mumonk:
I am very new at this, so I apologize in advance. I have the Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 running 4.3.

I simply wanted to root it so i could get rid of the bloatware and install Sixaxis and play emulators, but I didn't really know where to start, so I started looking around and found this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546505

So I basically did everything on there. I used Odin to install PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7) Did factory reset, wiped cache/dalvik. then installed the Odexed MK5 stock rooted zip, wifi fix zip, SuperSU update zip, and then the knox app remover zip.

Everything flashed just fine and it started right up. It had the Super Su app, but when I tried to install apps that need root permission it would say I don't have root access. I couldn't delete bloat apps and Super Su didn't show any apps and there isn't much I can do with it. So I guess it didn't work? Either way I wanted to try a different rom. Was gonna give Cyanogenmod a try. But every time I try to install it I get the little "Android bot laying on his back" thing and it says status 7. I tried to flash CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2, CM11. Nothing worked, same thing every time. Even tried different SD cards just in case of a mess up.

The phone itself works fine for now, calls and text work, wifi works. And it says there is an update, but when i hit accept, it reboots to recovery mode, does the "android fallen over" then boots back up.

Now here is my stupid part, I didn't backup the original cause the guide didn't say to. (Not blaming them, i should have know better) So I am assuming I have a messed up version of 4.3 and Cyanogenmod doesn't know what to do with me. I'm not sure. Here is where I am stumped and I have no idea where to go from here.

I posted this by accident in the wrong forum here

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/tried-rooting-s3-didnt-help-t2879278

But someone decided to help me anyways (thank you so much). They said all i need to do is update my recovery. so I went here

https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/

And now I am running PhilZ 6.48.4, but I am still getting status 7 when I try to install CM11. I have tried CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2 and CM10.2.1 as well. I have been at this for days and i am going crazy because nothing I do seems to work. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my phone? Thank you so much in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
only thing i can think of Is Odin the stock rom and start all over with trying to root......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mumonk:
I don't know how to explain it, but now everything is working perfectly....

I went back to the first site I posted about, Redownloaded everything, did the whole thing over, and root worked just fine. So I thought I would try my luck with CM11 and BOOM, working perfectly.

I have been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work for days and days and now, poof, it's all working. I dunno how, but I will take it. Thanks for the advice in both threads.

I was under the impression that you needed to be S-OFFed in order to be rooted

What I did:

Downloaded [SUPER-TOOL] Team PWN Stars' HTC One Max Super-Tool v1.2 FOR ALL HTC ONE MAX VARIANTS

Followed the tool's guide:

1- Unlock your bootloader
-this allows us to make modifications to the device

2- Use the RumRunner tool to gain S-OFF (in the S-OFF Tools Menu) I DID NOT CREATE THIS> All that the kit does is download it for you.
-this will be used later to make your device appear Stock

3- Install a Custom Recovery
-this allows us to "flash" files. It will be used to gain Root access

4- Root your Device
-this installs the package that grants you Root permissions.

OPTIONAL-
5- Lock your bootloader
-this will make your device appear stock for warranties and crap

Successfully unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev (at this point bootloader shows **UNLOCKED**)

Tried S-OFFing via rumrunner. This failed since my hboot is v2.49

Tried S-OFFing again following this guide: [FAQ] How to S-OFF @ hboot 2.49.000

After flashing both recovery and boot.img, i tried to do the next step "Factory reset the device"

Here the bootloader now shows **TAMPERED** above **UNLOCKED**

And selecting "Factory reset device" would boot me into recovery mode

I then formatted /cache, /data and then rebooted the phone

After the HTC One screen, the screen turns cyan then magenta while playing the 'boot-up' sound. It then stays in the HTC One screen

Thought that it was my ROM (it was stock 3.15, I believe. It was the one with the 'customizable fonts' update). I flashed a new one (odex): [ROM][International] Stock ROM Sense 6 | Kitkat 4.4.2 | 3.15.1540.1 | Rooted

Now it boots past the HTC One screen, and I'm greeted with the lockscreen. Unlocking it will show the HTC One screen again (and sometimes shows "htc.dialer has stopped working") and then restarts (I can swipe down to show the notifications bar but I can't pull it down)

If I don't unlock it, it would reboot after a while

Is there a way to more or less "revert" back to stock? Or at least have my phone properly boot?

I suspect its because I flashed in the boot.img? If this is the case, is there a "stock boot.img" i can use to fix it?

I just want a rooted stock :crying:

Hi,

[Nexus 5 Accessories] daniel_loft:
Probably yes. But you might have bad surprises due to certain angles of the phone's body (hard to fit the phone inside).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dragosmsm:
Maybe they fit but you will have surprises

Hello,

Having in mind that they have almost same sizes ,tey may fit ,but at more some accessories like cases ,the camera spot will not fit ,but I still don't know why you would wanna try to use a Google Nexus 5 ,accessories to iphone 6 because ,the accessories are not so expensive .Like for example I found Cellz where you can buy an iphone 6 waterproof case for 10-18$ comparing with other websites where the same case would be at 35-45 $ .Take a look :p

[HTC Sensation] g-member:
Hello guys,

I got this annoying issue and it drives me insane :p

Here's the deal:

I have a Sensation XE for 2 years now and i use it as a spare phone, rooted/super-cid/S-OFF from day one and installed many different roms past 2 years.

My girlfriend needed a new phone and i just had a kitkat rom installed but it was still full of bugs so i thought......

Let's install a official RUU and get this sucker back to stock so my girl can use this phone for a while :good:

Here all went wrong :(

I downloaded the latest RUU (europe version) and relocked the bootloader.

I succesfully installed the RUU and rebooted the device.....i see the Htc bootlogo.....and that is it......after an half hour still the same :rolleyes:

Did a reset in the bootloader, no effect...

Ok let's take another RUU and try again, this time i had to put the phone in RUU mode thru ADB, no problem....installed an earlier original ICS RUU succesfully.......rebooted and yeahhhhhh......STUCK AT BOOTLOGO AGAIN!!

Anyone any clue what goes wrong??

Now i'm @ Hboot 1.17 (after RUU) and S-OFF (doesn't matter right?)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try this

after ruu installation change the cid to the original one
[HTC Sensation] g-member:
What has supercid got to do with this?

Cid is just a region check.....
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yeah i know but if i remember well long time ago a few users reported the same issue

and changing the cid to original one solved the boot problem

try it

you have nothing to lose

edit:actually change it to the one corresponded to the RUU

[XDA Assist] Mr.Gorha:
I'm not sure exactly where I should be asking this since the Lumia 630 doesn't have a specific forum.

Basically I bought a Lumia 635 on Tesco Mobile (in the U.K.) and I want to unlock it myself. I don't want to install a custom rom or flash it or pay to get a code sent to me. I'd rather do it myself for free, so my question is, how are the unlock codes generated?

From what I understand, it's something to do with an algorithm using the IMEI number. Where can I find documentation to explain exactly how this works? Failing that, I assume the algorithm is changed every so often, however I don't know how many phones will pass before they change it.

What I mean by that is, would the code for a Lumia 630, 530 and 930 all be completely different or the same code?

I'd be happy to be pointed in the way of software that generates codes for older Lumia models that I could take apart and compare.

Downloaded the new ota for boost. I am s-off with unlocked boot loader and installed twrp. Do I need to go back to stock recovery and relock to install? Thanks
[HTC One SV] banderz777:
i get the same thing, guess I will wait and see what they say.....
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
[MENTION=4439144]banderz777[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2859705]biga1[/MENTION], If you are S-Off you do not need to relock the bootloader. If you are S-On then you must relock the bootloader. You will need to flash your stock recovery to proceed with the OTA, then after it finishes you may flash back your TWRP recovery.
[HTC One SV] banderz777:
I don't have stock recovery for jb 422 , where can I find it....
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Inside the original 4.2.2 OTA zip will be another zip called, firmware. Unzip firmware.zip and you will find your stock recovery.

Thanks really just wanted the stock recovery, I delected the OTA off my PC, so now back to donwloading it...... LOL should have saved it....:crying::crying:

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

@ biga1 are you S-OFF or S-ON ?, or just try locking your bootloader and see, you do still have the unlock bin from HTC.
[HTC One SV] biga1:
[MENTION=5537766]Modding.MyMind[/MENTION] I am S-OFF. I do NOT have my unlock bin from HTC anymore :crying:
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
The OTA is applying a lot of patches to your system directory. It is always recommended that you have all apps whether bloatware or not which originally came on the device to insure the OTA doesn't abort. If what the OTA is updating isn't found on your phone then it will terminate. You can get another unlock_code.bin by simply redoing the steps again over at htcdev.
[HTC One SV] biga1:
ahhhh. that makes sense. my phone is far from stock now and been debloated. I have my original stock backup that I can reinstall but is this ota update going to make a big difference? Thanks for all the help
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
I haven't accepted the update yet. Been reviewing the patches before I accept it. Also weary about the hboot image inside the firmware.zip that comes with the OTA. Not sure what affects it may have so I am snooping around a bit.
[HTC One SV] biga1:
Ok. I feel better. You have been my barometer for this device. Thanks for all your support for the boost users. :)
[HTC One SV] biga1:
Has anyone flashed the latest ota with success? And if so are there any notable improvements? Thanks
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
I haven't yet simply because my core.odex file is modified which will cause it to abort. But, I have mainly seen complaints about the OTA and nothing otherwise.

[NFC Hacking] TheKeyboardWarrior:
Hi guys,

So my room at uni uses a VingCard locking system and the card (when I read it using my Galaxy S4 (I'm running Android 4.4+)) is a Mifare Ultralight. The card reads fine on my phone, is there any way I can use my phone to emulate the ID of the card so my phone can open the lock to my room? The reason why I'm asking is because I've lost my card 2-3 times now and my uni charge me £20 to replace the card each time. This would save me a lot of hassle (and money) so any help would be appreciated. I've spent a while researching and looking around for a way to get my phone to emulate the card but it's looking unlikely so far.

A little detail I extracted from the locking company's website on the type of cards they use:

RFID Specifications:

13,56MHz technology

Compatible with the following standards:

- ISO 14.443A (MIFARE)

- ISO 14.443B

- ISO 15.693

Compatible with Near Field Communication (NFC) standards
[NFC Hacking] Vashiru:
Your phone generates a unique ID every time it's scanned. I once read about certain phones (I believe it was a Nexus) on which you could flash a custom firmware for the chip that allowed card emulation but by default it's not possible.
[NFC Hacking] ipois0n1:
there are already countless threads about that, even with the same chips,

you could look them up because there most probably will be already a solution
[NFC Hacking] nCipher:
If your phone uses PN53x NFC chip then in card emulation mode the first UID byte (UID0) is hardwired to 0x08. For MIFARE Ultralight emulation you need UID0 = 0x04. This problem is solved in EMUTAG Emulator on emutag.com.

i own right now S3 and Note 3 N9005

the note 3 is amazing you wont regret buying it its amazing been great for me with games and im doin pretty amazing stuff with it

but if ur gonna buy why dont u buy note 4 ... basicly an improved note 3 with S5 sensors looolz

for your S3 im gonna give you couple a good solution ,... forget the lag and have atleast 7 days with battery saver

download twrp 2.8.0.1 from their website or one of those

this rom is for i9300 only

s5 sensations rom for galaxy s3 gt i9300

this rom comes with a kernel use the kernel

if you dont like this rom try gammy its amazing too the latest one

but for me S5 sensations way better

راح تدعيلي

the steps is like

1-shutdown your S3 then put it into download mode ( power + home + volume down ) then a warning will pop up press ( volume up )

2-open odin and connect your s3 by cable

3-load the twrp tar ( dont unzip it or anything ) load it into ap and flash your S3

now you downloaded twrp when your done your device gonna restart

take battery out or before it start system do this

enter recovery mode so you can install the rom

1-your s3 off or before loading the system hold ( power + home + volume ) and you'll enter the recovery mode

put the rom in a memory card in s3 ( dont unzip it or anything )

2- click on install and go to rom

3- flash and use do the aroma setup

dont forget to use the kernel it works perfect with the kernel

good luck

If you want to game, easy choice. N9005.

The CPU is more powerful in that field (In gaming base-Ghz values matter. In everyday use not so much.)

And the Adreno GPU is designed for gaming. The Mali in the Exynos device is not.

Mine doesn't lag, and I get about 5-6h screen time out of a full charge. Screen off about a week in deep sleep.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3azmeo:
the s5 sensation just meant to reduce the lag and make your s3 function better but its still no compare to note 3

as for the battery life and gaming in note 3 ( stock ) were A++++ their amazing on note 3 ( no over heat problems )

and i recently triggered knox ( ما احتاجها ) and the note is more than perfect ... in ur condition i would take the note 3

go for it and dont worry bro
