Dude, come on... have you ever heard of an NL2 update?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurbineTester:
Why no in fact i haven't, but before yesterday i hadn't heard of N"eye"2 either, or towleroot, or safestrap. I'm what you might call a noob with this particular piece of hardware. So did you have any idea why my search string did not turn up the thread mentioned (or anything else constructive) or were you just trying to get your post count up? ;)

Thank you for that post, i am rooted and did not have to erase any data. Have a great day!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MCASTILLO:
Hello everybody,

I have a problem, my samsung galaxy s3 is with factory firmware, it was my daughter's phone, so I do not remember which version of Android had, and was not rooted. This is the problem when I wanted to restore data factory, stayed in endless reboot, it just stays on the Samsung logo, can someone tell me how to fix this please? I'll be waiting your help is this, Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If it hangs at boot, factory reset.

If it boot loops, remove battery and put it back. If it tries to turn on by itself it's a bad power switch.

You may just need to flash the stock firmware via Odin on your computer though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MCASTILLO:
Thank you for your answer, where can I find the factory firmware, please?

I think that my device need 4.3 bootloader, the problem is I do not remember which android version it had, I hope, you can help us, please... :):):)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Try to boot Download Mode. (Hold volume down, home and power. When it vibrates release power only. When you get to the warning screen, press volume up.)

Do you see a build version? Warranty bit? (If the warranty bit is there it's on a 4.3 build)

my firmware thread is stickied at the top of the Development section. It's also linked in my signature.

If you are on 4.3, you can ONLY flash the same or newer builds. I'd suggest NC2 just to be safe (it's the latest).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MCASTILLO:
Right now, the device is in my home, but I appreciate your help, I going to see your very good information, I will be in contact with you, again, thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dynamite972:
I'm having a very weird issue with my SIII.

I recently got an LG G3 and transferred my the SIM from my GS3 to that new phone (in order to keep unlimited data). The S3 should still start without a SIM, however, I am getting no response. When I plug in the phone, the charging light comes on briefly then goes out (sometimes it stays on). I can not power it on, boot into recovery or download mode. I have tried multiple batteries. I have left the phone unplugged. I have charged both batteries with external chargers. Is the phone dead? Did my power button crap out? Was the timing with my new phone activation just a coincidence? Or is something else going on here?

I would rather not put my old SIM card back in to troubleshoot for fear of doing anything to lose my unlimited data after a shady upgrade transfer to my new phone outside of Verizon's rules.

Any ideas on what could possibly be going on would be helpful.

Hi,

This thread has info that I think can help. Pay attention to the beginning of post number one. It says you either unlock your bootloader at Sony site, or root with a locked bootloader... And there's a link to the guide to Root while locked.

If you need more help, you can post in that guide above, or you can ask anything about your device here...

I need help flashing my SGH-i537, i was dumb enough to try unlocking my phone by pressing *#9090# something like that and as soon as the menu appeared i press option 2 and that was enough to erase my IMEI number. after that i tried odin (one click odin) and it failed. ever since i have tried odin and kies back and forth... kies does not connect to my phone, my pc finds it but kies doesn't. odin completes flash process just about 95% and then fails.... many time without success..... should i try a different stock firmware? a different odin version? is there a way to fix my phone or trash is the only solution?? thanks to all respond in advance.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rglewisjr:
I just got the xperia z3 and am having an issue with group texting, i.e. mms group texts.

It seems as though the z3 will allow outgoing group texts, but incoming group texts come in as individual messages (not part of the conversation). This seems to be an issue with the native texting app. From what i have found online, that is the way the native texting app is. Really sucks for a $630 phone.

So Textra seems to be a good option to help with this. This app does seems to allow group mms messages in normal format. YEA! However, this seem to only work well over the cellular system. Tmobile seems to not allow MMS messages over WIFI. Textra has a specific T-mobile workaround that claims to turn off wifi when sending or receiving MMS messages. This seems to mostly work, however this has intermittently turned off my wifi, and also generates warnings that my calls won't work over wifi.

At work, my cell cell phone signal is poor, but wifi is good. I would like to be able to use wifi for calls as well as group messages.

Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasat:
In Textra settings what has worked for me the best is to select the option that says about T-mobile wifi calling fix, not the one that says that will disable the wifi temporarily. I have a d6603 (Unlocked) but it's the same way I have it on my T-Mobile Galaxy S5.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
A lot of people at the iPhone forums are having this issue with T-Mobile...yes I have an iPhone don't judge...so yes I think this issue is more of a T-Mobile related issue then a z3 issue
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonshipman:
The group mms is a Sony issue. The wifi calling/txting is the Tmobile issue. To get texts they modify the stock msg app, so if youre using another msg app you aren't going to get txt over wifi.
[General Questions and Answers] vt-xda:
I've just rooted and installed Debian to SDCard successfully on an Acer Iconia A1-830, bu am having some problems connecting to it locally (at either 127.0.0.1 or localhost) using either VNC or RDP.

I can easily connect to it from another computer over the local network (using rdesktop on a linux machine) but I can't connect from the tablet itself using AndroidVNC or 2X Client (free edition).

The successful connection is via sesman-VNC protocol to port 3389. But again, this is from a remote computer, not the tablet itself.

Unsuccessful tablet clients:

Using RDP, the 2X client fails at port 3389 with an error code [1b/00020005] RDB Internal Error. There's no further explanation.

With AndroidVNC, client, the connection is simply refused at 5901, (ECONNREFUSED) despite using the same connection parameters and login as the networked machine connection. I've tried ports 5900, 5901, and 3389.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the tablet desktop through the remote client VNC connection -- so I know the Debian install is running and functioning well.

Can anyone explain why I can't connect locally? Is there some kind of firewall internally that stops connections to the localhost? I've checked the hosts-deny file and hosts file and don't see anything there that would explain it. Any other suggestions?

Thanks! I have a query :)

Hi. Firstly thanks OP I managed to root my phone fine.

I just had a followup question to the question you have answered ICUAL. I don't mind deleted apps being gone forever but what happens if I do a factory reset? Will everything be working fine just w/o those deleted apps? Second, will the device stay rooted or do I need to re-root after factory reset?

Other less pressing queries:

Also, could an update to KK cause issues or at the most would the worst be that it just isn't rooted any more?

Lastly, could there be any issues getting my Razr i repaired due to root. I'm just outside of warranty anyway :( and my battery is failing so I suppose even if I can find a place to repair it, root wouldn't matter.

Thanks! :)

[MENTION=5410185]quixoticduck[/MENTION]

I try to answer:

After FactoryReset it is still rooted. Just install SuperSU again.

A FactoryReset will only delete Accounts, settings, userdata, and apps from Playstore.

If everything is working fine w/o some system-apps, it should also do so after Factory Reset.

If not you can easy flash stock rom with RSD-Lite.

After KK-Update Root is lost. The System-partition will be deleted.

I hope there will be a root-method again without unlocked BL...

Root is no problem outside warranty. Just backup your personal data.

And you can replace the battery by yourself, it's not that complicated
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagoban:
Correct me if I'm wrong but when updating the Android via OTA you won't loose root when using voodoo rootkeeper, correct?

Only when flashing via RSD you loose it all.

Edit: jcase, who developed the exploit for 4.1.2 using my phone is also on a break and is not working on any new exploits, so most likely there won't be any root with a locked bootloader anytime soon (unless you use the voodoo rootkeeper

Of course it is not working for KK since it was developed for JB. It will also never support KK. If you want root support on KK with a locked BL, either keep root when upgrading from JB or see if there is a new exploit with the Saurik Impactor that works for KK

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blindman75:
So I flashed CM 11 and I am really enjoying this ROM. When initially setting up I mistakenly let Google restore my apps. I was not aware that SU was already built into CM 11, so I ended with SuperSU and SU installed at the same time. A few of my rooted apps were allowed root access, but now every time a new app ask for SU permission it is denied.I have deleted SuperSu and rootchecker says I have root.

Does anybody have a suggestion?

You're right. App isn't installed to /system and it goes to /data. I don't have a good word to call it. Maybe "internal storage", which is kind of confuse too, since Moto X does not have any external storage.

Do you guys notice any space issue for installing new apps? My current phone only have 1 GB for "internal storage" even it has 16GB in total for storage space. 1GB sounds a lot but I only can have 80+ apps. Some app is very large, for example, Chrome is 65MB.

Kit Kat 4.4.2

Would provide add'l info but can't even boot it up right now.........

Long and short....... phone was not rooted or modified on any way (for once). Only issue I noticed before it died was that the display would "freak out" with some colored lines once in a while....only for a few seconds. Last night, when I went to go into an email app....... everything crashed. All apps put up not responding messages, the UI crashed and the phone shut off before I had a chance to shut down correctly.

Now all I get is the red Motorola logo. I can get to the diagnostic menu (vol down, power, then vol up when the logo disappears). Recovery results in the dead android icon. All other options EXCEPT AP Fastboot Flash result in going back to the red Motorola logo. The phone is recognized in device manager when I plug into laptop, and the phone says connected to USB, and "device is locked". It does not show up as a drive, however (I did not have USB debug set to on if that's the reason).

I'd obviously like to save the phone, but more important are the pictures, which like an idiot I didn't back up. So, what I've tried:

1. Downloaded Moto drivers and made sure phone shows up as Mot Single ADB Interface (Fastboot Vanquish S driver)

2. Downloaded RSD Lite 6.1.6 and installed. Seems to recognize phone, as it lists USB port. Phone info, however, all says N/A

3. Downloaded KitKat stock ROM, which included the XML file, the recovery image and one or two more images. forgive me, but i left the file at work so i can't be specific.

4. When trying to flash that file with RSD, I get a "getvar" error and the flash fails.

Any ideas? Please keep it as simple as possible...... I'm no pro at this. I'll get the exact ROM filename tomorrow, since that might be the issue................

Question...... my pics are obviously on the internal storage, not the external SD card (dumb again)....... is there a chance that this process will not delete those files? I think the internal is considered SD0 on this phone (and maybe on all android platforms), and I read that the internal SD might not be overwritten.

UPDATE: I just read a post that said to delete all the lines with "getvar" from the XML file. I will try that, but in the meantime, if I'm doing anything completely idiotic, I'd like to know.

SECOND UPDATE: Found another site to download the ROM from.......... this time is gets by the "getvar" but fails at the first "flash" command....... see attachment

Thanks

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmac718:
re:XT926 (mostly) dead

I'm not sure if I was on .15.............. but the file i was trying to flash is 10.1.........so i'll try to find the file you suggest. thanks.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amedeh123:
The "dead android" logo is normal, you have to press a combination of keys to "unlock" recovery:

When you see it, hold both volume keys, then quickly press power button, and you should have options.

From stock recovery you can try either clearing cache, or clearing cache and data (if you dont mind losing your files) to try and see if it comes back.

Seen a similar issue (stuck on boot logo) on a xt925 and a moto G before, and simply clearing cache solved it.

Hope you can recover your beloved device, and make sure to report your results here ;)

EDIT: So, I reread your post and seems like you cant go into recovery anymore, so reflashing seems to be the best option. Usually seeing the red logo is a good sign. Dunno about the specifics on flashing a xt926, but yeah, you have to edit the xml file.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmac718:
Re: almost dead

Thanks........yes i think the recovery option is shot. And for the life of me I can't find version .15 as suggested in another post above. I just searched the general forum for over an hour and only see .10

UPDATE: Damn.......... that sequence worked. saw the dead android and hit your key combo. now have options to:

reboot system

apply update from SD

apply update from ADB

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

remember, i'd really like to save my media. any idea what the best selection would be?

UPDATE 2

Tried "Wipe Cache Partition". Seemed to complete the function (android icon came alive with electric).........but did not help phone to reboot

thanks so much, even if it doesn't save my data. Progress at least.
