[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira.pwr:
Sorry for open another topic about Galaxy S lll I9300 brick, but after search a solution I haven't found any, because this looks a strange brick (at least for me, this is a friend's device and it's been a long time I don't put my hands on a Samsung to do some mod).

I try to explain better as I can, sorry for my poor english in advance.

My friend told me it bricked during an official update, I don't know if debug is enabled and right now I can't see or enable by myself.

I can boot up but I only see the splash screen, I can boot up to download mode, I can boot up to recovery (stock).

The problem is Odin fails any flash I've tried, Heimdal fails too, sideloading (with a custom rom and in recovery mode) fails too, flash from external sd fails again.

When I boot on recovery mode I see a lot of errors (like: can't mount cache, can't mount this, can't mount that ect..).

I wanted to try to flash a 4 file fw, maybe it works different then a one file fw, but I'm not able to find one in any place, could someone give a help?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spyder1384:
Definitely seems like an odd one. Have you tried flashing a stock ROM in recovery via external SD at all?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira.pwr:
Yes, but seems external sd isn't recognized, when I select it to flash I see only . ./ symbols.

This is how appear in recovery mode, trying to flash from external sd and when I try to wipe data/cache.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spyder1384:
Never seen that before but I would guess your partition is screwed. If you can, find a stock PIT file along with a stock ROM and try flashing through Odin. I would suggest a little more research first, but I think this might solve your problem.

Let me know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira.pwr:
I,ve searched a fw with 4 files (wich one is a .PIT file), but all the links bring me to an empty site, all files are removed, I don't know where to find it.

EDIT: seems with .PIT file repartition fails using Odin....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spyder1384:
What is the exact model of the phone and what firmware was the update trying to flash? Post it and I'll see what I can find when I get some time tonight.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spyder1384:
Have you tried flashing bootloader only at all?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira.pwr:
Sorry for late answer, I've tried a pair of fw, both with one file, I'd like to try with a 4 file fw because of .pit file maybe helps. I didn't tried With bootloader only, I don't know where to find it.

Hey guys,

just got my S6 Edge, loving it so far. (As much as i hate TouchWiz ... )

I do have a one single problem that freaks me out. (the other like lags and extremely high Ram usage .. well i can live with that..)

I've seen it happen only while i text i WhatsApp , the things is when i send a text it changes to English language automatically.

i use two main languages, and yes the phone itself set to English. so it might be it, but is there a solution for this one ?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukino805:
Hi, I got the S5 SM-G900F few weeks ago and all the time it was trying to figure out how to turn on the LTE.

There is option for it in settings but it doesn't connect to LTE either way, so I did a little research and found something about changing band selection mode, but that didn't work for me.

I have original 5.0.0 rom. I have virtual carrier, which is using O2 network. 1800 MHz 2600 MHz 800 MHz are the only LTE bands used by this carrier in my country and I know the coverage should be fine because of my friends can use LTE with different phones on same network.

I only found one solution which I didn't try yet, because it requires rooting the phone, which I would like to avoid for a bit, because this is my first phone with android ( Sounds almost unbelievable in this age, right?) and I would like to learn to use it well enough first.

So if you guys could suggest me any possible fix, I'd be really gratefull.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neobrick:
Hello There,

My phone is an L55U(China Unicom variant of D6633). I have been using D6633 non-rooted stock rom for some time. and received lolipop OTA. It was okay but somehow it had problems like not able to read pictures in sdcard etc.

Recently I switched to pre-rooted stock ROM following the procedures shown in

http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/stock-firmware-23-1-1-e-0-1-customized-t3084544

When using this rom, the google apps constantly crash, so I switched to another stock rom shown in

http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361

(D6633_23.1.1.E.0.1_HK_SuperSU_XZDR2.8.20 thanx to [MENTION=230581]alvinlim28[/MENTION])

But this time an even more irratating problem occurs. The phone mobile data is disabled no matter how I try. I tried to swap the simcards and it seems only the data roaming can be used.(my two simcards are local Ortel D and roaming ChinaMobile, as I now live in Germany).

Also tried restarting, limiting the simcard in GSM only mode but neither worked. Other functions are fine so far. I am now dowloading the pre-rooted RU ROM but it may take a while. Later I may test with that one.

plz help. thx

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SadbutTrue999:
I'm very new to the process of modifying android/firmware/rooting/etc... I want to regain FoxFi (wifi tether) functionality on my Verizon HTC One M8, which was lost with Lollipop. I had been fighting the update for months but it forced itself on me a few weeks ago. I believe my only real option is downgrading to Kit Kat.

I have a long post typed up with my plethora of questions after browsing around a number of forums and blogs the last few weeks, but there are so many basic terms, commands and things I don't understand... I figured it might make things go smoother if I just ask my stupid questions first and then proceed. Plus, I'm an engineer and am generally good with technology, and have wanted to pick up the skills needed to do software version changes/rooting etc for years now. I'll keep the other post typed up (took a while), but won't send it until I get some feedback here... so as to avoid undue spam and clutter.

So, with that all said, dumb question time. Please be kind, lol. Note - if there is an entry level video/picture-laden tutorial that will likely explain all of this, please point me that way and I'll get up to speed as much as i can on my own. There seem to be many tutorials out there but almost all of the One M8 ones seem to have lots of terminology in them I don't get ,yet:

1) What is an RUU?

2) What is the CID? (appears to just be a build # or software version associated with new updates)

3) What is the fastboot folder? What is "hboot"

4) Whats an ADSP?

5) Which SDK/Sync manager will I need on my PC? I have the basic HTC Sync manager (some links suggest its needed)

More questions as they occur to me, thanks all!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zphantom55:
Well, hate to burst your bubble, but even after understanding all of these terms you can't downgrade to kit kat after taking the lollipop update. On Verizon htc ones, all system partitions/folders/files are write protected and cannot be modified with fastboot or RUU's in order to downgrade. As of right now, the only way to remove the write protection on lollipop is with an HTC Java card (this process / state is called s-off). Several people on xda have them and might help you out, particularly dottat.

Sorry for ignoring the main question here, I'm just offering what I know and I'll leave the explaining to someone a bit more knowledgeable with htc stuff to answer those questions. (I'm stuck in the same "lollipop lockdown" boat as you)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SadbutTrue999:
Appreciated, no worries!

I had noticed dottat was a prominent figure in many of the downgrade threads, so perhaps I'll try to reach out to him directly.

Apparently someone successfully rooted verizon htc one m8

Link to steps
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crmcsh01:
You can downgrade back to 4.4.4 as long as you are S-off. It takes some patience to root and get sunshine to S-off. Just make sure you do not try to run an RUU (Rom Update Utility) of an earlier version if you are still S-ON. I would say that if you just want to wifi tether, S-off your phone, flash a recovery, then just flash a 5.1 Rom that has wifi tether working out of the box.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SadbutTrue999:
So the order of operations is:

1) disable fastboot

2) root

3) unlock bootloader

4) go s-off

5) use RUU

?

As far as what i'm looking for... with Lollipop, tethering itself works, but they make you go through the verizon service (whereas past Android versions could be bypassed with some certificate trickery, which is what Foxfi did), and I don't want to pay $30/mo for something i was getting for free the last 3 years. I also want to root the phone for a few other applications.

I'm not sure what 5.1 Roms would support FoxFi on this phone out of the box (i've heard Samsung's Galaxy S6 continues to support foxfi with verizon and Lollipop, but i'm not sure i could use that rom), which is why 4.4.4 might be easier.

Questions:

1) Is the above order right?

2) Can you disable fastboot with Lollipop? I didn't see the option when i tried.. and i'm seeing some places online saying you can't. What then?

3) I downloaded ADB.. how to you get a command prompt up when connected to the one that lets you send commands to it? Seems basic but ADB has a milllion settings.

4) What else am i forgetting?

Just trying to figure out the first steps... its easy for a newbie to get buried in walkthroughs and new terms. Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dbrits:
When it comes time to flash a ROM, I'd humbly suggest CleanROM. It's stock ROM with the Verizon bloatware removed, and it's already rooted for your convenience. Like you, my primary reason for installing a custom ROM was to be able to use my phone as a hotspot. (Verizon will have to pry my unlimited data plan from my cold, dead hands.) CleanROM's native tethering app works out of the box, so there's no need to even install a third-part app like FoxFi. Sadly, it appears that the developer is no longer supporting this ROM, but it's suiting my needs for the time being.

Anyway, I just purchased a used M8 running stock Lollipop last week and here's what I did:

1. Followed the directions here to achieve s-off. (There's nothing in these directions about disabling fastboot.)

2. RUU (because the phone was used and I have no idea what the previous owner did to this thing and I want to start fresh); I followed dodtat's instructions for Option 1, plopped the 0P6BIMG.zip file on my SD card, and let the phone do the rest.

3. Installed a custom recovery (the latest version of TWRP - installation instructions are on the linked page)

4. Installed CleanROM via TWRP

5. Enjoyed free tethering :)

Good luck!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SadbutTrue999:
Glad I'm not alone! :hifive:

Thank you! That ought to get me started, I would think.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
You can use tethering for free on lollipop with s-off.

Not sure about foxfi but with the stock Verizon app.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SadbutTrue999:
Just to be clear... the 3rd step (of 21) in that first link you show is "RUU". Does this mean I should do it twice (and if so.. with different versions?), or will one RUU do it?

Sounds like his method to achieving S-off is just a series of checking the right buttons within a factory reset phone. Is that right?

Hmm, really? Interesting. Stock verizon app works fine, only used foxfi because in the past its met my needs.

Quick question... I've downloaded the java developer kit, ADB, and Android Studio. How do I verify they're working when i connect the phone? Is there a way to send a harmless ping/command/etc to the phone to check?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SadbutTrue999:
Few more questions regarding the s-off instructions:

1. Just did a factory reset. Also deleted everything on the SD card. Questions

a) Is a straight delete on the sd card ok or do i need to format? IF the latter, what do i format to?

b) How to I check the 'status' of the bootloader? Is that in one of the hard reset/fastboot menus? Or can i just let the thing start up and check it in the system menu somewhere?

2)

And if I do option 1, as you did... its the file here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934537709

that i rename 0P6BIMG.zip

right?

3) Both kingroot and TWRP seem like they can be downloaded to the phone after the fact. And both seem fairly straight forward. Do I need to do anything else for them to work?

4) Lastly... I believe i can do this all with the SIM card out? (seems like perhaps that is ideal, actually)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SadbutTrue999:
Just followed quite the droid root alice in wonderland rabbit hole...
