[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MhikeiMPC12:
I dont think the rom caused the brick. i deleted /system by accident. the rom was for my device i flashed it before no problem. The phone wont boot off the sd card. it did burn to the sd card, but the phone wont boot up with the debrick sd. no the phone wont boot off the debrick sd. nothing happend when i attempted to boot with all 7 debrick imgs i tried. the red led turns on only when i plug the phone in without battery. nothing will show on the display. no error messages, nothing was showing on the display. yes every time i tried a debrick image, i tried it, and completly wiped it so i can try the other images.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Did you try several micro sdcards. Cards will sometimes work in one phone for debricking but not in another. You may need to try a handful of name brand cards. Reports indicate the best results with class 10 cards of either 16 or 32 Gb.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MhikeiMPC12:
i dont mind needing the sd for the phone to boot. i just want my phone back!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MhikeiMPC12:
i tried only the 16 gb class 10 i got, and the 2 gb. i will try getting a 32 gb sd tomarrow.

Hmm, i was wondering if i flashed the aboot mbn in the .tar (the stock rom .tar)and rename it to img, would it allow me to get to download mode?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MhikeiMPC12:
a friend told me about sp flash tool. im gonna try that and see what happens
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Sorry I've been gone all day. too much RL going on!

OK, I looked over the script and that is for the i9300, the international, Exynos based S3. It's a very different device compared to our Qualcomm models.

I can say for sure that your aboot partition was overwritten with the kernel and the modemst1 partition was overwritten by whatever was intended for the userdata partition. If what was supposed to go on /data was larger than the modemst1 partition, you might need to use the pit file to repartition. (Probably not, but it's a possibility. )

the way it's scripted, it looks like /system would've flashed to the right place. Consider yourself lucky though, as both aboot and modemst1 are included in the bootloader/modem packages, so that part won't require any event Tra work.

I just got home so give me a few and I'll come back and catch up on everything else you guys have discussed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MhikeiMPC12:
ok. so what debrick img would fix this? would i need to jtag? i dont mind getting the jtag because, a jtag is cheaper than buying a 64 gb sd
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You said earlier you had updated to OB1 I think it was, is that right? If so, you will need a debrick.img created from that same build. AFAIK, we do not have one of these yet. We will need to find someone running the same build who is willing to make one.

As for the sdcard, I do not recommend using a 64gb card. For some reason the S3 has often had trouble with those, even when it's running normally. A 16gb card is all you need for the debrick process. The higher the class the better.

Should you use jtag? That's up to you. It would save you the hassle and possible frustration of doing it yourself, but you may be without your phone for a few days.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MhikeiMPC12:
ok that makes sense now. i downgraded from ob1 to the other builds before like when i got cm12, and then i got the first build of 4.4.2, and then i ota to ob1, and then the brick. so cant i just use debricks from other build?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] placroix74:
My debrick img was created from a 4.4.2 device, too. Only it was I747MVLUFNE6, while mine is I747MVLUFNK2.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MhikeiMPC12:
Yea, the imgs dont work. does any1 have OB1 and are willing to create a debrick for me??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MhikeiMPC12:
THis is probably a dumb question, but since my s3 is still bricked, i was wondering if i got a riff box, and the electricity box, to jtag, would using a hot glue gun instead of a soldering thing do the trick?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Surely someone's got one running OB1.

If anyone sees this and wants to help, I've got a script that makes creating the debrick.img very easy to do!

That I cannot say. Never used one myself. But I thought I should mention that I've heard mixed results with those. Seems like it works fine for some but not others. May have been user error, but I can't say for sure.

If you have to go the jtag route, before spending on a box, check some services online first. Mobiletechvideos.com has always been a very good service 7 sd by lots of xda members, but I have seen cheaper ones as well. Search Google and eBay to see what you come up with.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfnodfs:
Problem: Power button is not working on my D800. It doesnt turn on or off when I try to click on it. If the phone is off, the only way to turn it back on is plug in the USB. However, the phone still reset if I hold it for like 10sec. I can't get into recovery by holding the power button and down.

History: The phone was recently bricked into qhsusb_bulk mode. I followed the instructions on this board and re flashed some files. I think this is when the power button stopped working. After that I used LG Flash tool to restore to stock 4.4.2.

If anyone can help, I would very appreciate.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] law086:
I just upgraded from a Nexus 5 to a 6P. I'm on a Cricket Wireless "Pro" plan. I was able to use my hotspot on the Nexus 5, but when I switched to the 6P, the hotspot doesn't work any longer. I get the authentication message that I need to buy the option, blah, blah.

I tried the tether_entitlement_check_state hack, and that didn't work.

Any clue why this worked on the 5, but not on the 6P? The 5 was on Android 6.0, so it's not the version of Android.

Any help would be awesome. I have a very hard time accepting that I have to pay anything extra to use my LIMITED data the way I want to.

I'm in the same situation (cricket pro plan, 5 -> 6p). I called cricket support this evening to ask about adding the tethering option and was told that the Nexus 6P is not a supported hotspot device in their system. He wouldn't add hotspot for me even if I was willing to pay for it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akenis:
Well a rooted 6p isn't in their system either, did you ask him about that? what are your reservations about rooting at this point?

Mainly time. I'm an old with three kids. I was looking forward to having a phone that I didn't have to root. I went back to unrooted for the last year or so of my N5 and was fine with it. Not crazy about the permanent fuse thing either. Not sure why that bothers me though.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akenis:
Agreed...I flashed stock on my 5 and 7 and mostly happy. Even relocked boatloaders. Got tired of updates I couldn't do and nuisance notifications. Too much time wasted fiddling around. I miss TB and restoring data, but 6.0 backup should be fine once developers get onboard.

Funny that it was primarily wi-fi hotspot that got me started years ago. Then we got it stock, and now its blocked again! Hope we can work something out.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duhfux:
Hi,

I have Galaxy Tab 4 10.1, and a bluetooth keyboard I bought for it, and I am using CM13.

The keyboard works fine, and pairs nicely, but when I used the keyboard with the original OS, I was able to do more with the keyboard. I could press Tab to navigate through the icons on the screen for example, which made things much easier.

I couldn't find any advice so I opened this thread. Is there something extra I can install which restores this and other features?

Thanks

Okay thanks for your answer. I'll have to see if anyone else has had my issue though. The keyboard worked as yours does when I tested with original android OS, arrows moved to icons etc, but things were limited in CM13.

Am I allowed to post a link to my keyboard? I won't in case. It's on ebay uk, Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" T530 / T535 Bluetooth Keyboard Leather Case + Stand.

This is still unsolved.

I'd have to go back to regular OS so I can use the keyboard but I don't really want to. I can't afford more keyboards to see if that helps.

There must be something I've missed.

Edit: I just had another go at using it, I tried pressing the return key to see if maybe the box around the icons was invisible. It is invisible.

Seems like your phone is ****ed if you cant use the phone with a stock os. Did you flash the correct modem and bootloader to match the os version ?

I have had a few brinks over time and tried a few stock os's and I couldn't get it back but after 10 different stock os versions I got it back to work normally. I don't know why it is but some times different stock versions can have a different effect on your phone and bring it back from the dead :)

So you got 2 options. 1 take it to a repair shop as Sammy will charge you an arm and a leg to fix it with the knox counter triggered. 2 Keep trying with different stock os and hope for the best but do remember the modem and bootloader for each version.

last time i flashed the os was from kitkat to lollipop before flashing poprocks os. i have not flashed anything or modded/installed any tweaks within i suppose the month of the phone breaking. i still had the stock os from when i updated to lollipop but it didnt help. never touched the modem besides what the poprocks might have changed. only flashed firekat, stock lollipop, poprocks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enettrek:
I have just gotten the note 4 . The connections area in settings, nor the quick features tool bar, have no hotspot connection options. Below are steps I've taken to not only get it back but also to allow for hotspot to work.

1. I odin'ed back to ANK2 to use galaxy tools 3.1.5 to grab my MSL.

2.. I odin'ed back to the BOB7... Did a factory reset at this time...

3. After it restarted I looked into settings and saw no hotspot options..

4. After going through ##data# and MSL, adding ",dun" to the end of the APN settings, I still do not have hotspot options for activating it.

5. I also tried the QuickPanel Restore 2 that I saw in the forum. All to no avail of bringing back the settings.

Currently my phone also has updated itself, even though I disabled updating in the settings, to OG5.

I know if I root it that there's a chance it wouldn't work there either. What should I do?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enettrek:
Yes it's active on sprint. I have a grandfathered 1500 minute shared plan with unlimited data that it's on. The device replaced my HTC One Max.

I'm a taxi driver so I'm always on my phone. 3 must haves in my work are

1.

2way call recording (as it saves me from writing down things while driving) which isn't root necessary with the note 4 (root was mandatory on every phone I've had in respect to this, sometimes custom kernel too) with skvalex's awesome call recording app,

2 a hotspot which I was hoping I'd not have to root,

3 decent battery life

The note 4 seems like an awesome phone even without root access and if I could gain root without tripping knox I'd have already rooted it quite honestly. But with this issue with the hotspot not showing up in the menus at all it leads me to think it's a problem with the phone.

Yeah I just spotted thiis the other day and started a similar thread. Apparently it is only available iff you are paying for the service now. They got wise to the work around or something. If you deploy a native hotspot unlocker then you can get the functions back as the phone is still programed for the feature. But in order to allow devices add the mac filtering configur dhcp or anything that use to be in the hotspot tetheriing menu then you will have to go through native hotspot unlocker to get to the set of menus. It really sucks but they want you to pay. I gained the fuctionality back through using this unlocker below, but ended up going to a custom rom to get the menu back. If you like stock you might consider a stockish or deodexed de bloat or a preerooted or what I use which is Hybrid X.

Link to the Native unlocker (says for GS5, but works for GSN4) http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/app-gs5-native-hotspot-unlocker-t2980905

If you use this it will add the quick access Icon to the drop down menu, and then if you long press that it will take you to the actual hotspot menu, but it does require root.
