[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] **shtrodel**:
I don't know. But what I do know is that the first time I used the debrick sd card it shows in the download mode the "warranty bit: 0" that wasn't there before. The second time I powered on the device it shows that the warranty bit is 1.

If thats help somehow recognizing the bootloader version.

I flashed (via recovery) the bootloader maximum 2 time, and via Odin few times (every time I tried another version of the recovery..something like 5 times).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] **shtrodel**:
I've notice that if I trying to get into download mode and release the buttons fast, the next time the device booting its showing this screen:

And when I'm going into Recovery mode its showing this screen:

Before I did the debrick the screen I has is the first one.

I thinks the second one is the debrick, because it always shows the first image for 1-2 seconds and it is rebooting and shows the second picture.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The screen without twrp is the first screen. The second screen is how the phone would look with twrp.

The fact that the warranty bit exists in download mode means the phone has at least a 4.3 bootloader.

If the phone had a kit kat bootloader before you flashed anything, flashing the mjb bootloader is probably what bricked the phone.

Are you able to confirm which rom version was on the phone before you flashed anything? This will help determine which bootloader and modem should be flashed to the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] **shtrodel**:
I didn't have the warranty bit in download mode before I used the debrick image, and I didn't flash anything before, the warranty bit appears only after I used the debrick image. So I guess I had the 4.1.2 bootloader (I remmeber that we were updating the phone once using Kies..about 2 years ago or something like that..).

I never flashed anything to this phone before the twrp last week after the brick happened. And My wife was using the Stock rom.

But 2 days ago when I tried following this thread I do flash (using twrp install section) a bootloader.(when the sd card inserted). I took the bootloader he recommended:

Thanks for trying helping!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
It's also possible that the internal memory in the phone is damaged. It does happen on occasion.

Sorry, but I am out of ideas at this point.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] **shtrodel**:
I thought damaged memory is the case at first, but if so the twrp 2.6.X version wouldn't recognize that my data is about 12 giga.

How can I assure this is the case?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
A couple of ideas that may be of some help.

If you can boot into TWRP again you can go to >> Advanced >> Terminal Command >> Select

and enter these commands to determine current installed bootloader and modem

getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband

Also, IIRC, once you are booted into your recovery, TWRP, you should be able to remove the sdcard with the debrick image and replace it with a blank card. Then, from with the Advanced menu of TWRP can you use the File Manager to copy folders/directories.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] **shtrodel**:
getprop ro.bootloader returns I747UCUEMJB (I thinks this is because I flashed the bootloader in [MENTION=4708506]theramsey3[/MENTION] thread when I tried to follow his instrucions.)

getprop | grep version.baseband returns nothing. I tried "getprop | grep baseband" and it returns 2 result :

[ro.baseband]: [msm]

[ro.boot.baseband]: [msm]

I already tried the File Manager option. There is nothing in /data and /sdcard directories.

Thanks!

Sorry I wasn't of more help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] logoster:
i believe TWRP (at least in version 2.8.x.x and newer) it will connect to your pc as a media device, which (at least on my i747) includes both the internal sd card (including the part i imagine your worried about, pictures and videos) as well as the external storage

at which point you should be able to copy files from your phone to your pc
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] **shtrodel**:
I thinks it called MTP. I don't have the internal sd card. I have the external sd card only, so I can't copy my files.

Do you have any other idea?

Added the log of twrp if it will help somehow.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] logoster:
reading the log, it complains about not being able to mount the data, system, and cache partition

which to me reads as the phones internal storage is dead or almost dead, or heavily corrupted.

while i'm no expert, you may have to go to an actual expert to get the data recovered, because if recovery can't mount it then i don't really know how you could get any consumer hardware to do so

Hi, I'm new here and I thought you guys could help with my problem. I recently tried to install a custom rom on my M7 (CM12) and it flashed successfully however now it won't get past the first screen when it boots. I have tried about 4 different CM12 roms, both unofficially and officially and it keeps happening. I have tried the Maximus (per this forum) Sense software and still nothing. It just sits on the bootup screen. My phone is basically useless at this point. I am running a HTC One M7 Factory Unlocked (US Warranty, which has been voided) on AT&T here in the states.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
Out of curiosity I opened up KIES 3 on my PC and connected the S6 Edge+ via USB. I get an "unsupported device" dialog box come up. It says "The connected device is supported through SmartSwitch, which is faster and more convenient." hmm.. OK, great, thanks. But no mention on what this is or where to find it. So on the Samsung support pages for this model, there is no help. On the KIES support pages there is also no help. So a quick "SmartSwitch" Google search directs me to a Play Store app, which I installed. But this app is only for transferring data and apps from another phone or platform.

I understand how to transfer data and media using Windows Explorer but I am wondering, how will I see if my device is up to date and what happened to being able to update over USB instead of OTA?

Kies is a great software. However, for a certain number of new galaxy phones, the app can't detect the device for some reasons. So if you have such a problem, then you can use Android Assistant instead, which is a great Samsung Kies alternative.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khals:
Hi everyone

Since I restarted my phone last night, my phone has been in a endless bootloop and I can't even enter recovery, without it rebooting again and going into the same endless bootloop again, around 2 seconds after showing the "Teamwin" logo.

I'm using ARHD, and if I remember correctly it's version 71.1. TWRP is "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7" and running ElementalX kernel.

I expect my partition is somehow corrupted, but I'm at a loss of ideas as to how I can recover my phone again. I would apreciate if I could somehow manage to make a backup of my data, but it that's totaly hopeless, I'm thinking of going for the ArtMOD ROM instead and starting fresh.

Is there a helpfull soul out there, that could maybe give me some insights as to what I can do from here? Thanks in advance! :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khals:
I was hoping I could install a stock ROM and start from scratch again, but I somehow suspect having used a modified ROM has gotten me in trouble now and the ROM Upgrade utility sees this as a downgrade. I've not been able to find a newer ROM for the .401. series than "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe". Although the updater believes I'm updating from 4.19.401.11 (the ARHD ROM).

I can get into FASTBOOT USB and the phone goes to the black HTC logo screen when trying to update, but quickly fails on the PC during the process at "Updating 1/5". When unplugging the USB cable the phone shows:"

RUU

Security fail!

Update Fail!

I've attached two screenshots, to better explain :)

Can some kind soul out there please help me getting a working phone again? What ROM I'll end up with doesn't really matter :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmbutt:
Since you're using unlocked bootloader, why don't you try RUU to get back on Stock ROM.

Here is the collection of ROMS

Download your ROM.

from Windows Command prompt

adb reboot bootloader #

If it didn't work, Press and Hold Power button along with Volume down of your phone,

When you reach to bootloader, get into fastboot mode.

Now follow the following commands to restore the STOCK Rom. (make sure your downloaded ROM are in the same directory where you have fastboot.exe, abd, and abdwin.api etc)

1) fastboot erase cache

2) fastboot oem rebootRUU

3) fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (RUU.zip is of course your downloaded Stock ROM). If it says Failed, try again.

4) fastboot erase cache

5) fastboot reboot-bootloader

6) fastboot reboot

Good Luck

Hope that helps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khals:
Thank you so much for helping out! :)

After several tries, tries and retries, I finally managed to get the phone back up and running with the stock ROM. I believe what finaly did the trick, was to use "fastboot oem lock" to get the stock ROM installed. From here, I'm now able to unlock it again and install a custom recovery (TWRP) and ROM (I went for ARTMOD). Thanks again!!! :)

I will post the images when i get home, just left from work.

Images:

Battery modes from top to bottom: Performance mode, normal, power saving mode, ultrapower saving mode and adjustable mode. In the last option you get to choose how your phone's CPU, brightness and connectivcity (WiFi, carrier data) want to run. Either Smart mode or performance mode. It also allows to choose which apps you want to recieve notifications from when the pohone is in standby. For example i have set my CPU and Brightness at smart mode and my connectivity to be active when in standby mode. Also chose which of my apps like facebook i want to receive notifications from. The rest will close when in standby mode

Automatic mode change: Smart change due to battery power level. you set at what battery percentage you want the phone to go into power saving mode.

and the second option is scheduled (3rd picture) mode change where you choose a certain time period, say 23:00 to 8:00 and a power mode for your phone to run during that time and also it deactivates connectivity.

Hope it helped

Hi, Guys. I recently flashed a new Rom on my T-mobile Xperia Z. However whenever I update to 5.0.2 Lillopop I cannot get cell reception. I live in Guyana so I bought the phone online and had it shipped and unlocked. I have tried both the c66103 and the c6616 however in both , as soon as I update to Lollipop I lose cell reception. All other updates up to Kit Kat 4.4.4 work perfectly. Any advice? I figure it must be something like a baseband problem. I have already tried flashing that however the baseband # does not change. Any advice would be helpful.
