It's stops when trying to flash the bootloader. Either you're using the wrong file or the phone does have a 4.3 bootloader. The download screen info provided in your post mentions nothing about warranty bit or Knox.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jack Test:
thanks for your response, yes the bootloader seems is 4.1.2, right now I am getting impatient about this, So I also tried to repartition it, reload the 4.1.2 bootloader. I can reload the 4.1.2 bootloader, that is only flash got success, flashed the 4.1.2 bootloader.

I have a second identical phone, So I can risk everything in the phone. Is there anyway I can just program it to 4.3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
You can flash a newer stock rom via Odin if you want to. If the bootloader is 4.1.2 and you have the correct stock rom, Odin should be able to flash the aboot.mbn file it Odin can't which tells me the file is wrong for the phone or the phone does have a 4.3 or newer bootloader.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jack Test:

I have a second identical phone, So I can risk everything in the phone. Is there anyway I can just program it to 4.3? All I want is just get the phone back. I tried to load 4.3 bootloader, but it failed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jack Test:
There is possibility that the pit is wrong, I tried to load the downloaded T999-16Gb pit from download site, maybe that file is not right? Since I can flash the stock boot.img by using Odin for version 4.1.2, the bootloader must be right???, Don't know what aboot.mbn would be affected by anything else.

I am wondering if someone can provide the T999 regular 16GB pit file, the early version of T999, Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
A pit file only needed if Odin cannot read the partition info from the phone and, based on the logs, a pit should not be necessary.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jack Test:
is it possible that the phone is upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.3 and got crashed. but the bootloader is still showing 4.1.2?

what other possible reason that I can't flash aboot.mbn?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Boot into download mode again and let me know what it says. It the bootloader was corrupt, that would be a problem.

Just to confirm: you're using firmware from sammobile.com and you are using the original Samsung USB cable to flash the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jack Test:
Reboot to download mode, it is saying the same.

I am trying to flash stock recovery, modem, bootloader, all stock version 4.1.2 Only it can flash 4.1.2 bootloader, the recovery and modem always fails. Also the stock rom got failed.

With the same setting I can flash my other S3 recovery without problem, so the Odin, USB cable should not be an issue.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Yes, this is weird. You have 2 identical phones? You can pull the pit file from the working phone and use it to flash the problematic phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jack Test:
the only problem is that my other working phone is running 4.3. I don't know what is the procedure to program it to 4.3 if my crashed one is in 4.1.2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
If you want, you can just flash the stock 4.3 rom from sammobile.com into the phone running 4.1.2.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jack Test:
So far not working yet, this is strange.

I am wondering if anyone has done this before, I would need some more specific instruction on how to flash 4.3 from a CRASHED (suspected 4.1.2) official firmware. Right now the S3 is in a soft brick state and recovery mode or power on only stays in Galaxy S3 logo. I got another S3 which is running 4.3, So I can retrieve whatever info from this T999.

The Crash S3 can reflash 4.1.2 bootloader only. Tried to flash recovery, official stock, modem, all failed. I would need someone who has done this before to help or who is knowledgeable on how we can get this phone back to work again.

Thanks!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Are you booting the phone into download/Odin mode? You're using the original Samsung USB cable? You're flashing things separately? What error messages are you getting in Odin? If you are using the stock firmware from sammobile.com, you unzip the file to create a tar.md5 file which you flash in the pda box of Odin 3.07.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] ZeroPDA:
After update (probably the problem was before update too, but after buying I did update almost at once) I noticed that speaker below are the same loudness. But speakers on the top of device are very, very quiet. Do all have the same problem?
[Huawei MediaPad M2] superqua:
I did not check the loudness of the speakers separately, but I have experienced a problem that might be related. If I lower the volume to one of the two lowest levels, there are dropouts on the audio when watching a video. Do you experience the same problem?
[Huawei MediaPad M2] ZeroPDA:
What application do you use? Where do you see "one of the two lowest levels"?Make a screenshot of the situation when you hear dropouts, please.

Also check speakers separately by increasing volume to the maximum and putting your pointer fingers of each hand on 2 speakers on the bottom of the tablet. Then you will be able to hear only two speakers on the top.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] superqua:
It's happening in different apps, like Amazon Prime Video and South Park for example. By "one of the two lowest levels" I mean: Lower the system media volume to mute, then raise it by 1 -> lowest level; raise it by 1 again -> second lowest level.

There are also no specific situations in which the dropouts seem to happen. The dropouts are usually just 2 to 3 seconds long. It sounds as if the sound is dampened.

Thanks, I will check the speakers separately later today. I don't have the tablet with me at the moment.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] ZeroPDA:
I just tried playing on the "level 2" loop video with MX Player and didn't hear any dropouts. I cannot confirm the problem on my device.

Please. let me know the situation with two speakers on the top. Do they produce any sound? If they do what is the level of volume comparatively with the ones on the bottom? My speakers on the top is almost quiet. If I cover two speaker on the bottom with fingers or put the tablet on my skin on my laps (knees) I can hardly hear two upper speakers. Please, confirm: is it the situation of all devices M2-A01L?
[Huawei MediaPad M2] gilgamesh123:
yes that was what i was thinking
[Huawei MediaPad M2] superqua:
The two upper speaker seem to work correctly on my device. The volume of the right one is a bit lower, and seems a bit distorted, but both of them produce sound when I cover the lower two speakers. The lower two are louder, but that was expected.

I also realised that I'm on a different firmware version than you. Mine is M2-A01LV100R001C100B006
[Huawei MediaPad M2] ZeroPDA:
My upper speakers are very quiet, but they work. What can you say about the volume of upper speakers?
[Huawei MediaPad M2] superqua:
As I said before, the volume on the upper speakers is just a bit lower than the volume of the lower ones. But I can hear them perfectly fine when covering the two lower speakers.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] pverflow:
my upper speakers were working loud and clear yesterday. today im pretty sure they are either not working or so low in volume that i cant hear them over the lower ones. Any ideas or suggestions? i did uninstall the harman kardon audio demo app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] TehPirate_:
My phone tells me "invalid sim" when I insert any sim other than Sprint. I don't get an option to insert an unlock code. I feel this is all software related as multiple have reported the phone is the same hardware wise on every carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Corwinder:
What was the first sim you installed if I may ask?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] TehPirate_:
AT&T
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Nextstep:
Apparently there is an unlock folder in the developer menu.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] TehPirate_:
That's for the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Corwinder:
When you put that AT&T sim it locked to AT&T
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] TehPirate_:
That's the best part, it's still locked to Sprint. Even with AT&T sim inserted first and completely reset to retry it. Still only accepts Sprint cards.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] slycyberguy:
Was anyone able to figure out OP's question? I have the same problem too. I have a Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge and I'm trying to unlock it with a T-Mobile sim card, but I don't get the unlock code entry screen. I just get an invalid SIM card message. Where can I enter the unlock code? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] slycyberguy:
Were you able to solve your problem? I have the same issue, described in the previous post.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] i.amjen:
Hello, I am encountering the same issue. Please help? TIA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] TehPirate_:
You either need to contact Sprint and have them send out a Profile Update to your phone to get it network unlocked or use a 3rd party service
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] piksifort:
Same problem here. Any solution? How to make my phone ask for an unlock code?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Outbreak444:
All, read this thread here. Looks like you can just call Sprint and get it handled or dish out some $$$, but I wouldn't recommend that.

Hey I'm new to this. Where can I find a trusted guide to root my acer iconia tab a3-a30? tis my first time trying and I can't find it anywhere
[Sprint LG G4] kt006:
This has been a long back and forth conundrum that neither Sprint, Cricket or LG seem to be able to help me with. I purchased a used Sprint G4 on ebay and had it domestic sim unlocked over the phone with Sprint. I used it perfectly with a Cricket sim (mms and lte worked perfectly). A few days later I had to send it in to LG repair for the infamous "camera has stopped worrking" error. After getting the phone back (same IMEI), the phone no longer recognizes the Cricket sim card. It recognized a Sprint sim card that LG returned it with but not the original Cricket sim. I've contacted Sprint and they've repeatedly confirmed (after many insistent calls and chat messages) that the phone is unlocked. Cricket tells me everything is fine on their end, and LG tells me to ask Sprint to unlock it or provide an unlock code. Completely at a loss so any input would be extremely appreciated.​
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
Try the unlock mod on the general page
[Sprint LG G4] kt006:
Don't know if I have that option. Lg returned the phone upgraded with Marshmallow zva

edit* Going to try to revert back to zv6 and see if it'll work then.
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
you have to be on zv6 first I'm not to familiar yet with this phone. I unlocked mine and had the invalid sim I had to do the build prob edit and then it took care of invalid sim but u have to be rooted to do the prop edit
[Sprint LG G4] kt006:
** update

-Reverted back to ZV6 and rooted using this : howto-downgrade-to-zv6

-Then followed the sim unlock guide mentioned here: Sim unlock guide

Only getting 3G but calls are working perfectly which is much better than nothing. I'm going to read around the Sim unlock guide to see if I can tweak a couple settings to get MMS and LTE working.
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
I had to dl a 3rd party mms app i used chomp. And play arou d in radio settings under mobile networks.

So now that people are starting to receive their phones, I figured it might be good to keep track of where the free Galaxy VR promo is for people. I took a picture of the order form and submitted mine today. According to Samsung it will take 4-6 weeks to validate.

Hopefully it ends up being sooner than that, but who knows. Post up here when you submit, if you get any issues and ultimately when you get your VR and what you think of it.

I pre-ordered the S7 Edge from Best Buy. When I picked it up at the store, they also gave me the VR Gear and the memory card.

Interesting, mine now says "Your submission is currently under review" not entirely sure what there is to still review. The copy of the receipt I uploaded showed all the details, seems kind of odd that it went from being reviewed, to fulfillment pending and now back to review.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] AndroiderM:
That's strange mine still says fulfillment pending. Hopefully they start to ship them by next week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] naiku:
Back to fulfillment pending again now, I wonder what caused it to be reviewed again. I also hope they start shipping them out soon, I am also waiting on a free SD Card so hoping that ships soon as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Xx_xBLADEx_xX:
This is very true... I don't have mine yet, "Fulfillment Pending" when I checked the status earlier, but... I did go to Best Buy to play with the demo unit and created my Oculus account. When I did this I received the 6 games for download right then and there. Also if you go to the offer page at the bottom where it states Here's how it works, it reads "You will receive your Gear VR in the mail in approximately 6-8 weeks. Redeem your 6-game bundle as a digital download after setting up an Oculus account (download expires at 11:59:59 pm PT on 4/20/16)"

Mine has been at fulfillment pending for the past week or so.

Has anyone actually had one ship?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] naiku:
Not that I know of, most of us here are all at the same fulfillment pending stage and have been for a while. I am getting the feeling Samsung grossly underestimated the demand for the phones and how many people would then be trying to get the Gear VR. Along with waiting on the Gear VR I am also stuck waiting on a 32GB MicroSD card that Samsung gave me for registering the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] garyd9:
I just noticed that the "terms and conditions" for the Gear VR have been updated on the samsungpromotions.com website...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] naiku:
I saw that on another thread, I hope I got in under the 300,000 limit. While it ultimately won't be a deal breaker, it was certainly one of the deciding factors in going with the S7 Edge over something like the Nexus 6P.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] AndroiderM:
called prize logic again since the terms were updated to see if I could swap vr for the $100 gift card but I had 47 calls ahead of mine. Needless to say I hung up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Tikerz:
So if Best Buy gave me a free GearVR because of their promotion, am I still eligible to submit for one through Samsung? Not that I need 2 of them, but still.

Keep one sell one or sell both and earn your self a little $

Nope, won't work. It asks you where you purchased it and then takes you this message:

"Thank you for purchasing your new Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge device. We've partnered with the retailer or carrier you've selected to deliver your Gear VR directly to you. If you did not receive your free Gear VR, please contact the carrier or retailer for more information. Remember, supplies are limited."

Must have gotten lucky, estimated shipping date is April 1st?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] garyd9:
I'm curious... with your estimated shipping date of April 30th, what does it say is the deadline for claiming the 6 game bundle? For example, on mine (with an estimated shipping of the 18th), it has #4 being:

(I'm just wondering if they realize that the date of 4/20 would be impossible and not bother putting that in the message.)

Yeah i was just reading that and trying to figure out how to set up an account. But it seems like you can't do it until you receive the head gear. :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] garyd9:
Find a best buy with a gear vr on display... pop your phone into it and it should start the process of installing and setting up an account.

If the BB employees give you a hard time, act like a clueless paranoid that wants to make sure that the phone you bought from AT&T will work with a gear vr from best buy.

Can you post the apk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Bjray:
It's not a single apk. When you insert the phone it tells you to remove it from the headset and let it download the necessary apps (around 5 or so...) after that the Oculus app gives you a option to download the 6 game bundle.

If someone tells me which apk's that need to be pulled I will try it.
