[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OpenSourcererSweg:
If you couldn't flash a recovery using Odin then you're probably right about it being on one of the newer versions(your phone), the boot loader got locked up tight and the only recovery we have available is Safestrap. This is a tough one. I'm no expert by far, take what I'm saying with a grain of salt and do your own researching before taking any action after reading this! I see two ways of recovering some or all data if the bootloader is locked(and the device storage isn't encrypted)

1. If you don't have equipment to directly read/write to the internal storage then point her somewhere that specializes in data recovery on smart phones.

2. Factory reset the device, try to recover "deleted" data.

If the bootloader wasn't/isn't locked down then you could probably flash a rom that didn't have the lock screen pin/pattern ect implemented. I don't have the i535 but I know that the prepaid version checks the system partition when flashing via Odin so this probably wouldn't work if it's locked but I can't confirm wether or not this is checked on the i535

Can you enter the stock recovery on the daughters phone just to verify if its updated or not. Should be a string near the top. If it ends with ne1 its on 4.4.2 and I don't recall the one for 4.3. If you're unable to enter the recovery because you have to enter the pin before there's an actual lock screen(with the clock, status bar, wallpaper ect) then it's likely encrypted and there's nothing that you can do about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wking46:
I can enter recovery mode and I do believe it is 4.4.2.

because of the delicate nature of her phone (being her passed on daughter's and she used 9 of 10 attempts to guess her pin) I pulled my S3 out of the drawer (coincidentally I stopped using it about 2 weeks after she passed) and everything is identical down to the recovery string at the top. I know it's running the same software and I have all kinds of old pictures and texts on it like she would have and I am logged into gmail on it like she is. I locked the screen on MINE and I know the PIN on MINE. I also saved a backup of my stuff so I'm using my phone as the tester since I was able to put in in the identical situation

I have room to play because of that. Once I have success on mine, I'll try what worked on mine on hers.

So far I've tried...

play.google unlock... While I have now been able to get her device to appear on device manager on google's site, they changed it so that when I remote lock it the screen lock pin does NOT change.

I called Google, Samsung, and VERIZON. None have the ability to change or remove lock screen pin.

I tried ADB, but it doesn't detect any devices when I ADB shell or ADB device.

USB DEBUGGING IS OFF (or we wouldn't be having this convo)

It has stock recovery and not CWM or TWRP (again if I could get one of those on there, we wouldn't be having this convo) (tried ODIN flashing TWRP on, but fails)

---------------------------

Every direction I head I hit a brick wall.

I've never heard of being able to recover data from internal SDcard after reset. Didn't think that was possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wking46:
FYI. recovery mode string is...

ANDROID system recovery <3e>

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OpenSourcererSweg:
With HDDs I know it's possible as I have done it before. The only issue is not overwriting the data when reinstalling a operating system ect. Flash is abit dififfrent but still doesnt overwrite deleted data as soon as its deleted. If you're willing to try it on your gs3 first then go for it. Since the data is very important, I would have her take it to someone who specializes in data recovery instead of trying to wipe it and get the data off it just in case.

Are you able to remotely install applications though the Google Play site or by other means? Might be able to get a shell from one of the ssh server apps if they run the server on startup. If you can get a shell you should be able to work from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wking46:
I can remotely install apps via google play site. If I could find a shell that works on startup... please let me know what that does for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OpenSourcererSweg:
SSH access may let you transfer some files on the device to another machine. (Assuming that it will connect to known wifi networks while locked)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wking46:
No such luck. Looks like all of them would need me to log in to set them up, which defeats the purpose.

I may have to wait and see if tech changes over time and keep trying until it does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OpenSourcererSweg:
Take a look at this, https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2015/06/16/remote-code-execution-as-system-user-on-samsung-phones/ may be able to remove the pin. Sorry if discussion about this isn't allowed or frowned upon. Seems like a pain and it may not work for the s3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wking46:
Doesn't effect S3 vzw. only S4 and up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OpenSourcererSweg:
Ah I read "swift" as Swype and my Prepaid Verizon GS3 came with Swype preinstalled.

I have an idea, perhaps try the Verizon repair software "repair" the device to back up data while in Odin mode? I don't recall if it will require a password or anything.I don't believe it required USB debugging to be enabled, don't know if it works while in Odin mode. I don't know if the backups are encrypted or not. You can try using sandboxie to see where it keeps the backed up data. I don't know if it will backup data while you're in Odin mode though. Worth trying I suppose. Don't have time try my The self or I would. Sorry for the rushed message, I'll be home in about an hour though.

I'm on radio 1.47 with black satin on tmob UK.

My mobile phone is useless when i speak to people all i can hear is a lot of crackle interspersed with words! I think they can here me.

Where can i find a radio to downgrade to and which is best for tmob uk?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] simjo:
No joy...

I have tried Black Satin on my phone and had no reception problems.

I have just tried my current set up (see sig.) using my T-Mob sim...I did not have any problems with reception.

There is the 1.48 radio from the AT&T rom listed in WIKI perhaps that will help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tony.wheeler:
bb,

I am on T-Mobile UK with the radio version 1.47 and have no problems at all. I am not sure that there was any advantage with the move to this radio from 1.43 and I have seen others indicate that 1.43 was a radio optimised for the UK so it might be worth changing to that.

All the radios are on this site here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms. You will also find links to the posts related to them so it may be worth a read. However, given your problem (which seems strange from what I have read and seen myself) I'd recommend checking you have HardSPL first then giving 1.43 a go. The highest numbers are certainly not always the best for everyone.

Good luck

t-mobile UK radio Problem

Try using radio 1.48, Im on t-mobile UK and using Schaps lastest 3.57a ROM with radio 1.48 its brilliant, no problems what so ever.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bobbyelliott:
Radio 1.47+Black Satin+T-Mobile UK = perfect for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DT39:
i tried radio 1.47 and hardly got any signal so now using 1.43 wich is very good, did try 1.48 before and seemed very good holds on to 3g more than 1.43 i think so i'm going to go back to 1.48 very soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tony.wheeler:
So many of use are in doubt about the best radio - now if only we had a tool that monitored actual radio performance over a day or week of normal activity that could provide some form of objective assessment of performance of one radio and circumstances against another.

I find that for every 10 people in favour of a particular radio there are likely to be 10 more that think it is poor. Clearly locality (country/band/Edge/GPRS and 3G/HSDPA are all factors but? Can anyone create a capability to record forum user input for any given radio that also took account of location and provider - then we might more clearly see trends.

It is all too easy to be tempted by the latest radio and sometimes our assessments might well be clouded by anticipation rather than reality. I find that the apparent performance of the T-Mobile network is variable for even a given static location - that makes it difficult to make a sound judgement.

Ho hum... Shall I go back to 1.43 or give 1.48 a try:(?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Taffowl:
I tried using 1.4.7 with Black Majic but it just didn't work that well.. I could here the other person perfectly however they could not hear a word I said.. I've upgraded to 1.48 and Black Satin and the reception is perfect (best yet) on T-Mobile UK.. only problem now is the wifi.

I've got a wireless N network and the signal in the house is full strength when connected however I have to manually click connect everytime using the option in the network settings.. The network is only using Mac Filtering so not sure what the problem is. I''ve tried to indicate that it is a hidden network but without joy. Anybody have any ideas?

Suggestion

Hi

Also T-Mobile UK - i have had problems with all custom roms - seems fine for a while then data dies requiring a reboot.

This changed with the new dopod release and 1.47.10 radio, then the latest sleuth 3.1 dev rom which is faultless for me.

I think the problem varies dependant on where in the uk you are, the sort of coverage you get - for the record im in Durham.

Steveapp
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mean-machine:
I'm in Cardiff, but I had issues in all South Wales with custom roms. The only one that worked fine with me is Orange 1.38.00.01 (I didn't even feel the need to try 1.48)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] neil@domino.org:
agreed, but I'm still running an older radio and its working fine also. The Dopod rom is the nuts.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] robt2379:
Hi All

Im on Tmob UK and live in the Southampton area. I get a good signal in the area and frankly all the ater radios I have tried work ok. My particular problem is in builbding coverage in that I work in a large communications centre and inside the signal is poor to non existant. This is where I find the difference shows in the roms and the best for me is 1.27. It is one of the few roms that seems to reliably deal with a loss of signal and then reattaching the data connection after a period with no signal. It also seems to have the best poor signal acquisition.

Ive tried them all and have always gone back to 1.27, no others have been better and most have been worse.

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
man...I really hate long winded posts, usually will skim but I did read it all ;)

sorry to see ya go, maybe another time on another awesome HTC ;) yes I am a HTC fanboy...from reading your post, nothing looks alluring to me. I do believe HTC needs to step it up or they will fold. This new A9 they are about to announce will be a joke. Hopefully M10 or whatever it's called will wow everyone. If I wasn't such a fan, I'd go w/ the Nexus 6.

good luck!
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
Thanks for your comments.

Not being on the M9 hurts most because of not being in the same community as folks like you.

Sooner or later we will hopefully converge on the same device again. I tried Samsung last year after initial M8 and came back to M8 (which my wife has now) and then M9.

The lack of unlocked bootloader might eat at me overtime. I keep thinking I really don't even need root. But just yesterday I received a Bose Souchtouch Speaker and found an "AirPlay" emulator in PlayStore that requires root !

The risk of losing root or not being on latest android because devs were not able to reroot make me uneasy. If a boot loader unlock is not found we may eventually lose root (assuming you want to be on latest Android because developers will move on).

One thing I have figured out networking wise. When on LTE the phone must switch to eHRPD to take the call. If you are on marginal signal switching can take a long time. It takes so long to switch the call goes to Voice Mail before it's done switching. If I leave the phone in CDMA mode it does not have to switch and fights to maintain a compatible voice connection even on a weak connection. And will always ring within couple of rings (usually immediately). When on weak LTE/eHRPD it's a crap shoot on how long it takes (it will eventually switch). This is not sprints fault due coverage. It's just some rooms at work are weak signal on all carriers.

The lack of Voice over LTE is a good part of the problem that might be fixed say in 5 years. I have not tried WIFI Calling yet. It was dreadful on M8/M9 (switching from Cell to WIFI or WIFI to Cell was sloppy and slow enough to not be reliable, I'm not expecting G4 to be better, it's mostly the same tech under the hood).
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] asacado:
I work in a phone store, so I am always always always researching the best "best" phone. Usually I rely on a few factors, root, bootloader unlocking ease, rom development and lastly features. You can have a crappy phone, but it has a great deal of development, or have an iphone with IOS.

The M8 and M9 are my current devices since my G3 crapped out on me. I feel that the G4 is not my go to phone since LG is gutting the G4 to make the nexus. The biggest question I can ask you is, do you want a development scene that will last the lifetime of the device or do you want a device with building development?

LG, in my experience has had a really slow development process. Now a quick disclaimer, I am not judging any developer, nor saying you should or should not get a particular device, but generally, HTC, moto and all nexus branded devices have the quickest root/unlock and development. You can essentially consider CM nightlies a "farm" status for minor bug fixes and flavored AOSP roms and stock alternatives. As for moving to the G4, it is stupidly close to the new nexus from LG, which I am very much waiting for. My M9 has been a disappointment not by development, but by a crappy radio and piss poor firmware not fully tested.

I want my M9 to be awesome. And I really have OMJ and Viper Rom devs for all their hard work to support the rom. As of right now, we're struggling to find a cure for no camera for the HTC CM12.1 rom. I am stuck waiting for the phone I want to have cm12, for my older one which has better service, and generally a 100% perfect rom. (Sprint HTC M8 on Candy5 is truly amazing).

While I agree the M9 is a failure, the future device you would want to get if you want quick and easy, go nexus, if you want moderately fast, go HTC. Samsung has proven to be extremely hard to root these days. The S5 had a $13k bounty just for root. Good luck in whatever you do end up getting.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] P_M_G:
Coming from another M9er with radio issues, I have considered this same jump to the Nexus but I just don't want something that big. I wish they'd have just made a new Nexus 5.

If the new Nexus is 5/5.5" then I'd likely move as while I like Sense, I have no love for Blinkfeed (it's far left homescreen and gets used max once or twice every few days) and I HATE that HTC is now updating everything in the Play Store, including crap I don't want updated (like Sense Home) so I have to be careful to never "update all" and am forced to go one by one.

GL with the G4 [MENTION=231937]mswlogo[/MENTION] sincerely hope it works out for you
