[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
Is there any easy way to check which boot loader i'm using?

In case this helps, here is what I did last night to get my phone going again:

I followed these instructions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2660566

(grabbing the AT&T unbrick image here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B612qYHFMILfWUlMTTEwdUstcXM&usp=sharing )

That got me back up and running into Cyanogenmod (I believe version 4.4?) From there I continued on with the steps

I then flashed I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 with Odin.

I've tried a few little quick things i've read about typing in a *# number to get into service mode but that didn't change anything or fix IMEI. I also just rooted it (a few walkthroughs I was starting to look into required a rooted phone.

I also read a few times that people said to just flash the stock rom/modem onto the phone again? I'm just being very cautious this time around :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Install terminal emulator and type this in: "getprop ro.bootloader" without the quotes but with the spaces. Press enter and let us know what it says on the screen.

The LK3 firmware is 4.1.1. What is the baseband on your phone? If your baseband is LK3 and your bootloader is MJB, this may be why you have no imei.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
i747ucdlk3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
SO your phone now boots from internal storage and the bootloader is LK3. What is the baseband?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
Sorry yes, after I used the command to copy the bootloader over from the debrick file, I was then able to use the phone without a SD card from that point on.

Baseband says I747UCDLK3 as well..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Weird that you have no IMEI when you bootloader matches your modem.

If you still have Philz on your phone, create a nandroid backup and try a custom ROM to see if anything changes.

If nothing changes, you may need to use nvwriter to inject the imei.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
Thanks for the advice, I will try this when I get time (at work right now). I've never used Philz, had to look up what it was! I've always used CWM. Would you recommend I use Philz? I will get a backup before I do anything else and reply back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Philz is based on CWM but with a few advanced features. Either version should do the job.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
made a backup and installed slimkat 4.4.4 but IMEI is still 0, guess i'll have to go with option 2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
Restored my backup so that I can do the IMEI stuff... but when i try to 'inject' my new IMEI file, it just says "0 NV- items have been written to phone successfully" :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Unfortunately, I can't help you with NVwriter as I have never used it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
Thanks for all you help. I'm thinking about trying another factory rom. I have 4.1.1 right now, I need to find 4.0.4... All the links i'm finding to download it are very slow!

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

Okay just an update... used EFS Professional tool and was able to use the Qualcomm NV tools in that to get my IMEI number to show up, but now mobile data doesnt work at all :laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Can you make phone calls? Who is your carrier? Is the APN present?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
AT&T, no phone calls/text/data do not work now. The APN looks to be there

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

Ok well this is weird. As I said, have signal but nothing was going out or in. I flashed back to my original backup from right before I did the IMEI change. The IMEI is still set but now the phone has came on a few times and will show 4G for about 45 seconds, then go to G, then finally, "E." Calling and Texting are working again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Does the "E" stand for Edge? Can you check to make sure the APN settings are correct for LTE or 3G? You're getting closer to a working phone:victory:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] westgoingeast:
Hi All,

I am looking for help on flashing a new ROM (probably a recent version of CM) to my SG3 I535 running Android 4.4.2. I was able to root it using towelrot and ended up soft bricking it when I tried to use ROM manager to reboot the phone into recovery. I then used Odin to flash back to stock.

This is where I am now stuck. My research shows that maybe I need to unlock the boot loader? But am unsure if that is actually my next step or how to get there. Any help or a guide in the right direction would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
With being on NE1 4.4.2 you can't flash a custom recovery other than safestrap. Your lucky you didn't hard brick it trying to flash a recovery with rom manager. You can't unlock the bootloader at this point, that was last available on 4.1.2 and it is no longer an option

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can use any charger. But if the output is any less than 2.1Ah you'll charge quite slowly. You also need to use the original cable or a cable with a 24AWG or better rating.

Woah, good to know... I use the OEM charger/cable for the main, overnight charges.

Otherwise the other ones I have kicking around are:

3ft and 10ft - USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core (Gold Plated)

6ft - USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male Premium (Gold Plated) - not as heavy gauge as the above

So if I use my the cables mentioned above is it an issue? Or would I just expect slow charging? I use those for PC connectivity and charging at work.

Anything less than 24AWG will result in at least slow charging, and in some cases it won't charge fully.

About the gallery. It opens it instantly but it takes few seconds to liad the photos. Until then it is white screen with blue bar on top :D

Phone dialer has no lag, it opens instantly and it is ready to use the same second. Same goes for contacts, no lag.

Battery life, to soon to judge but on this charge it took 12% to get 47 minutes screen on. It was moderate usage.

I must say, samsung keyboard is bad. Screen is big but typing is not so good. Will change keyboard for Android L.

It must be the higher voltage output (9V-1.67A) that the Note 4 somehow takes advantage of instead of the standard 5V - 2A that is present in the Note 3 and most other chargers. I hope we quickly see some 3rd party wall and car chargers that offer fast charging.
