Galaxy S3 SGH-I747

Clean factory reset (phone worked perfect it had 2000 pictures and video from my 13 year old)

Rooted with Kingo root (was late so i put it on the charger for the night)

Before i could put and other recover apps on it

Woke up and it said "updating" (but i never told it to update anything i was asleep)

Now it vibrates and is stuck in a loop (trying to install update)

Won't load into recovery mode ( Just keeps restarting)

Will load into download mode (so i downloaded Oden and a stock rom)

But i'm either doing it wrong or its not working (still stuck in a loop (either update loop... or recover mode loop that never gets to recovery mode...

I also have Android studio installed on computer.

What is the simplest way to recover this phone?.... My 13 year old daughter is going to hate me! :eek:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] totalsus:
Was able to get my sgh-I747 from only loading into download mode to both recovery and download. By flashing a root and then installing CWM recovery... Now I just can't find the right Roms/Bootloader? I know its fixable if I can get into either or both download and/or recovery modes.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Has anyone tried using a hardware game controller to the Asus Zenfone 2? Either via pairing with bluetooth or USB OTG.

What are your experiences? Do you have recommendations?

I plan to use it mainly on PPSSPP (damn, The 3rd Birthday is hard to play using touch controls) and maybe some Android action games, but PPSSPP is the main reason.

From what I've read, I can use the OEM PS3 controller using USB OTG, but that seems to require root, correct? But I would prefer the non-root solution, as I have no plan to root, not yet at least.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] raynan:
I'm using a SteelSeries bluetooth controller with emulators now and I've used an otg adaptor with an xbox 360 controller. Both worked just as well as any other fairly modern phone once you get the keybindings set up properly. Neither required root for me to use.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Oh okay, thanks! I'll look into those.

Is this the one you're using?
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] raynan:
That's exactly it. If you have "fat fingers" or large hands, it may be too small to use comfortably, but it works well and has a good amount of controls.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
I just went for the sure-fire PS3 Controller + USB OTG. After I saw video reviews of these bluetooth controllers, I just knew they weren't for me.

I was about to give up on this until I read that root is only required for using bluetooth with the PS3 controller, USB OTG does not. I've tried it out and the controller works without a problem in PPSSPP as well as GTA3 for android.

I also read about those gamepad clips that could clip my phone on to the PS3 controller, I'll get one of those in the future.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] mbolinao:
I saw one in DataBlitz, forgot the price though.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Ordered from Lazada already for 550php (710php including shipping). It has a 1 month shipping duration but that's better than buying a GameKlip for 1800php (ad I saw in Juantamabayan), which is a certified ripoff as the price is 2x the original selling price of a GameKlip.

In the gadget shops I've visited, they only sell the PS4 controller clips. I've tried them and they do not work with a PS3 controller, because of that goddamn touchpad in the PS4 controller.

I've seen workarounds and DIY clips online, but it just isn't worth the time and effort, let alone the potential damage a DIY rig might cause to my phone or PS3 controller.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] mbolinao:
saw this one in the mall earlier, same one in DataBlitz. They both have for PS3 and PS4.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Ah nice. What branch of DataBlitz did you find that? I took a look at DataBlitz in Cyberzone in Megamall a while ago but no dice.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] mbolinao:
alabang town center. you can find that too in any small over the counter stores (not those walk-in stores) that sells gaming and mobile stuff. like the tiange type, that's where i found this. DataBlitz may have the same price. if not, most probably just very little difference.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Ah gosh that's gonna be quite the commute. Manila boy here.

Anyway, I have one pre ordered from Lazada. I'll just wait for it. But man, that's really low priced. Seems like Cyberzone does not carry accessories for "old" things anymore, tsk.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] SenpaiCham:
I saw on one of the Facebook group for Asus Zenfone 2 Philippines, one of them is using iPega controller but according to some reviews on YouTube some function doesn't really work well but now I'm looking for a MOGA Controller to test, sadly there's not a single Moga controller I can find here in my location.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Have you tried Lazada?
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] SenpaiCham:
There's no Moga Pro / Moga Pro Poewr Controll on Lazada. That's why it's hard to find one specially in Bicol.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Good luck on finding that controller. :good:

If all else fails, a Sony PS3 controller + USB OTG works like a charm. Its almost as if the controller is an OEM accessory to the ZF2.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] SenpaiCham:
PS4 Controller + GameKlip + Rooted Phone works well, but in some games my phones tends to restart itself when I press X or O button.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Oh okay. I haven't really played anything outside of emulators so I haven't had any troubles with the PS3 controller + USB OTG setup.

What games were your playing when that happened?
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] SenpaiCham:
Modern Combat 4

Modern Combat 5

N.O.V.A 3

Those games
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
Oh okay, I'll try to take a look if the same would happen to me.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] magrendz04:
There is this thing called ipega PG-9025 which you can order from Lazada.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
I have seen those ipega controllers. Not worth the price for their build quality, imo. I just went for a PS3 controller and USB OTG.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] magrendz04:
I see, that really depends on the user I guess. I'm glad that you found an alternative already. :) Cheers :good:
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Capataz:
I'm sorry but I don't think I could try these games out for you. I tried downloading Modern Combat 5 and I was reminded why I don't play high production exclusive games for the android.

I downloaded the game for 800+mb. Then I booted it up, then demanded me to update to another 800+mb? And I couldn't play without an Internet connection? Count me out.

I hope someone knowledgeable chimed in.

Hey all,

I'm looking to designing my very first app, I have experience with website design but brand new to apps.

I would like to create an app similar to Yik Yak where users can submit text and other users can up or down vote it. (I'm not looking to use the GPS feature like Yik Yak)

Any suggestions on what website/software I should use. Cost isn't a huge issue, it seems like all the sites are reasonably priced.

Thanks!

[AT&T LG G4] example508:
I'm coming from another ATT phone, the galaxy s5 active and I've always wished the bootloader was unlocked because custom roms look great. There was a big bounty for that phone to get the bootloader unlocked but it never happened. I consider the G4 to be more in the spotlight so I assume devs will be more focused on it. The I know the TMO is already unlocked but that wasn't because of any hard work by devs from my understanding. What is the likelihood that we will see a bootloader unlock on the other variants?
[AT&T LG G4] ExTREmE99:
there's a chance. for the G3, dev's figured out how to trick the stock bootloader into thinking custom roms/recovery..etc were legitimate LG/AT&T roms. who knows if this will happen with the G4 though
[AT&T LG G4] Heisenberg420:
there's always a better chance with flagships as they get the most dev support. You could always get the international g4 h815 where the bootloader is unlockable through LG. Hopefully they will add support for US models as HTC has
[AT&T LG G4] darkriff:
I have read that lg does not have plans to unlock this bootloader. It's all on developers hands.
[AT&T LG G4] InflatedTitan:
This phone is so sick.. But I have to admit I'm pretty let down on the bootloader situation... Even if we were just able to get some debloated, optimized roms id be happy AF... I still have hope tho.. But I also see the community falling apart and hardly any activity. Devs will probably move on to the new nexus....
[AT&T LG G4] Nowak4G:
I think once the next LG flagship comes out, an unlocking method will be released that most likely will work on all. Devs wouldn't want to waste an exploit that LG could then patch on the new device. Kill two birds with one stone type of thing. Just my thoughts.
[AT&T LG G4] cogcaviz24:
I agree with inflatedTitan. My only con with the G4 is the lack of ability to root and rom the phone. I loved doing that with my previous devices.

Same here. Never was a fan of lollipop's look. Still snappy since i got it first few weeks it came out. Battery still strong. No probs with in call volume either. Notification volume is louder from what i read also.

As it turns out, speed difference and real world performance is nil if any. Looking back, kk may be the windows xp version of android, light and quick vs heavier fancier more features of newer versions to come.

Did you do a full wipe before downgrade?

Lollipop was worse. I tried fullwipe installation of 5.1.1 but still had those issues mentioned. When I downgraded I had an old TWRP backup so I just deleted everything but storage in TWRP and restored the backup and it seems to be fine for me.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boyanmetal:
I just downgrade my Z3 from LP 5.1.1 to KK 4.4.4. Yes, use that method from that link. But be extra cautious while using the Flashtool to downgrade to KK 4.4.4. REMEMBER to WIPE App Info, Cache and User Data at the top right of Flashtool. I forgot about it and my phone went to Bootloop problem. Had a hard time on figuring out on how to stop the bootloop. If anyone forget about it and went to bootloop, just totally switch off the Z3 by pressing power + up vol together. Then run Flashtool again. This time round don't mind about USB Debugging etc cause you cant go in anyway.

Hi,

so I was reading up several articles talking about the recent discovery of the Stagefright vulnerability and was wondering if this could pave the way for new root-methods, which weren't possible before, since it enables the attacker to execute code with system-group privileges (at least in some cases).

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback about this idea.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zadeek:
I'm confused on how to explain the problem I am having, but will try to be as short-winded as possible. It doesn't matter what I am in (app or settings etc.) but after I hit the back button ( < ) it takes me back to the top or beginning of the screen. For instance, the CNN app, I scroll down to the middle of the page, click on an article to read and tap the back button, it will take me back to the very beginning like i just opened the app. Not where I left off in the middle of the page. Amazon app acts the same way. I thought it might be an app related problem, but it does the same thing in my Settings menu. I can go to Settings/General/Default message app, and when I tap back button it goes back up to the top. Not a huge problem, but can be frustrating at times. Just curious if other people are having this problem or is it just me. If it matters I have Sprint as a carrier and I have the leather model. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noeman5:
Hi All, I bought a Note II (verizon) on ebay (I know, groan) the owner said it was stuck in a boot loop and couldn't do anything with it. I figured it was just an update gone bad and I could easily fix it by flashing the stock rom back in. However, when I got the phone, it was a completely different story. I can't get it to do ANYTHING! I have tried 2 different batteries, charged them via the phone's USB cord and an outside charger and can't get it to even acknowledge the power button push. If I push the power button and hold it, I get a weak red flash from the led closest to the earpiece (prox sensor or light sensor?) The led will flash on briefly, then off and if I continue to hold the power button, it will flash again after 7 seconds.

Only once in the hundred or so times I've tried to boot this thing up did I get anything, it went to ODIN and asked for a download file, then froze. I had to pull the battery and since, I haven't been able to do anything with it.

The seller contacted me about a week after the auction asking me to wipe his old files from it if I got it working, I told him of the problem and he said he didn't have that problem and when it left his hands it was still powering up but getting stuck in a boot loop. Did I blow $50 on a dead phone? Any tricks I can try?:confused:
