[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
Well, knowing my country, if I told them I found a better deal, they would probably screw the device up more :D

It's not that big of a deal, the replacement part with only the volume buttons seemed way too cheap to work (imo), although I got really surprised when they told me how much it's going to cost. Oh well.

I'm hoping that it's going to work after the repair, I flashed two different ROMs thru Odin, and they had their own pre-boot logo (eg. Telekom), they all just bootlooped, and since download mode is working, I'm positive I'll be able to get into recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
I'm quite confident that it's a case of finding the correct firmware and is why it's necessary to figure out where the phone came from. Do you want to risk flashing a btu firmware?. Btu is essentially the unlocked debranded i9300 international. I'm not 100% sure which countries had access to the btu version. For definite it was available in the EU but if you are outside that continent you'd have to research. I can give you a gdrive link to get it, saves using those links that take forever to download.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
I'm 100% sure that the device was purchased in a Telekom store in Hungary, but flashing the firmware according to that didn't work either.

Also, when I first modded this device (the vol+ button wasn't working at that time either), I made a mistake and wiped the internal storage without having an OS installed, so I flashed some random Spanish ROM via Odin, and it worked.

TL;DR: Had official CM 4.4.4 running on the phone, classmate asked me to upgrade it, so I made a backup, flashed 7.x.x RR, but the contacts were gone, so I tried to restore the backup of the 4.4.4 CM, and I got stuck at the pre-boot logo, where it says 'Galaxy S3 GT-i9300'

It would be nice if you could link me to that firmware, even though I don't have the device on me, anything could happen :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
Bootloap after flashing stock rom is common, the fix is to boot into stock recovery and perform a factory reset then reboot, i noticed that your volume up isn't working so you can't boot into recovery, but i can't advice anything but fixing it, moving around the main issue might bring more and worse issues.

Regards Migo
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Ahh right gotcha!. I think I know what could have happened. When you upgraded to either 4.4.4 OR (and most likely) 7, did you have to install another bootloader to the device?. If so, there's ya problem!.

Failing that it's going to be a compatibility issue of the 2 OS's. This is why devs stress that you must flash back to stock when changing firmware or roms as there can be remnants of the old OS that will cause problems. All roms and firmwares etc are 'compared to stock' so in some instances they need remnants of the stock firmware to be there..

What worries me though is that having to flash a Spanish firmware to it to get it working. Was it originally Spanish moved to Hungary or has it been worked on before.. The plot thickens..

Anyway, here's that link for the btu firmware https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4vTiHTBB629OVlvY0pkcXN4ak0/view?usp=drivesdk

As I said, you may get very unexpected results flashing that if your phone is carrier locked or if the phone has ever been unlocked by "galaxsim unlocker". If it's unlocked by carrier or nvdata then this is basically samsungs own, carrier debloated, stock firmware for the I9300 international. Do not attempt to flash this to a 9305 as you will "doorstop" the device.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
Yeah, that was my plan, but since I wasn't able to hold a constant vol+ input, I wasn't able to get into recovery, and I couldn't find any way to wipe the internal storage, or boot into recovery thru Odin (I also tried to get to the recovery via adb, but it wasn't enabled, so that didn't work either).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
I don't remember reading about flashing a different bootloader, nor actually doing so. What I did was as simple as copying over the RR and GApps zips, wiping all the necessary partitions, and flashing.

Having a Spanish ROM flashed was completely random back then, I went to some random site (can't remember its name anymore) where I could get .tar files, and downloaded the first one, which turned out to be Spanish. All I needed it for was to be able to boot, download Flashify from Play Store, and boot into recovery from there.

The phone was most definitely purchased in Hungary, first hand at a Telekom (perhaps Telenor, but then it would've had to be carrier unlocked, since my friend was using a Telekom SIM in it).

I'll save the btu firmware for last, as long as I can get into recovery, I suppose I won't be needing it. I guess it is carrier locked, but galaxsim unlocker has never been used on it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
Alright so, I just went to pick up the device, flashed TWRP, wiped everything, and installed RR successfully, thanks for all your help [MENTION=4460858]shivadow[/MENTION], appreciate it!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otoko77:
I buy a Lenovo a916 phone not long ago;most of the phones have support for otg,so I tried in it,but it didn't work. I tried using different tools and procedures: I rooted it using Kingroot (it makes the phone really slow), and used differents apps, like SMP,version 3,25; USB OTG Helper, and USB OTG checker. I checked my phone, and there were two errors. I manually fix them (using es explorer, changing permissions and modifying some files), so the app said that I can connect the otg devices, but... nothing happened. Maybe I did something wrong. Can anyone help me? thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcAlex42:
Hello,

I've been recently trying to root my Asus Zenfone 3 Max (ZC520TL) using SP Flash tool,

however, I haven't found the correct scatter file for my device. Does anyone know where

I could find a MT6737 scatter file? Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r&xp:
Hi. From my experience, correct scatter files that work (not just any random scatter file) reside in a ROM/Firmware zip.

Doing a little searching, I found that you can download stock firmware for you device from Asus officially. They offer them in the support section.

Here is the link: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/

Should you download the official firmware specific to your device and unzip the file, (in all probability) you will also find the correct scatter file which you are looking for (something like xxxxx_scatter_file.txt).

(also keeping in place a stock rom is never but never a bad idea :) :) )

However... You mentioned that you need the scatter file to root??? I have not any idea as to why you would need SP Flash tool for any other reason than flashing stock. :confused:

Unless you are flashing full custom rom which cannot be flashed through recovery perhaps? :rolleyes:

Anyway... Good luck!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcAlex42:
Thanks for the quick response!

I needed the Flash tool because I was trying to flash TWRP, and from there install superuser. I did as you said, but when I tried loading the scatter file

the program recognized it as invalid. A huge thanks for the help though!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r&xp:
Ok... No worries!! We will probably figure it out in the end.

By the way, I am not sure I understand exactly how you were going to use SP Flashtool to flash TWRP. From my experience it does not work that way. You need platform tools (adb and fastboot).

platform tools here ----> https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

It is with these that you will unlock bootlader, and after bootloader is unlocked, first flash supersu, install busybox and lastly flash twrp.

Please look at my how-to root and twrp section. It is not for your device, but it will give you a good idea of the process: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-3-8-tb3-850f-unbrick-root-t3598727

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DarkSeL:
Why doesn't the S8 have album art cover or any type of artist picture? I have tried Spotify and Play Music.

My old WindowsPhone7 device had beautiful animated artist pictures. iPhones just show the default album picture.. S8 doesn't have anything at all? Someone tell me I'm missing something.

Shouldn't be relevant but I'm on T-Mobile USA.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jackfrost3821:
Samsung GS8 does show album artwork on lockscreen. If you touch music player, it even expands into full-screen. I've only tried with Play Music and it works.

You may want to check if Play Music has all permissions for lockscreen interaction.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DarkSeL:
What do you mean by touch music player? For me touching the song name shows the small picture but it disappears right after I do anything like unlocking the phone or turning screen off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jackfrost3821:
You can see my attached images in previous post for the reference. After touching song name(first image), lockscreen music player expands (can be seen in 2nd image).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DarkSeL:
I see. But that thumbnail view doesn't stay after you unlock or turn of screen. Anyway I wouldn't call this full screen.

Looks like I found my first gripe with the S8 :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jackfrost3821:
Ohh yes! You are right. Thumbnail view disappears after turning off the screen. I'd much rather prefer it to be a default lockscreen view for music.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] PieceofSlice:
Come on baby light my fire

Hi there!

I have a question regarding the installation of the following ROM: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-developement-t3518598

I already checked my bootloader, the menu says that it is unlockable.

Is the following procedure correct:

1. Unlock bootloader (like described in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2743694)

2. Root Phone (like described in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/general/eagleroottool-t3390663)

I also found this Tutorial: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/general/unlocked-bl-root-sony-xperia-m2-android-t3214498 so which one do I use?

3. Install TWRP (I found no tutorial yet, maybe somebody can help)

4. Backup Stock ROM, Wipe and Flash LineageOS and openGapps (I've already done that on other devices, so no help needed here)

Thanks a lot for your support :)

[Sony Xperia M2] dokuz:
Here what you need

First: You need to unlock your bootloader. To do that go to this link: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ follow instractures and get your unlock key. Then use flashtool to unlock bootloader follow this one: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/issues/guide-beginners-how-to-unlock-t1971363

Important unlocking bootloader deletes your data (I mean factory reset) make backup

Second: Update bootloader. Install bootloader update from this link: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/development/ubl-xperia-m2-bootloader-update-ftfs-t3288148 I recomend flashtool to update bootloader. To do that turn of your phone -> Open flashtool -> cınnect your phone while pressing volume down button -> press flash button on flashtool -> choose the one you downloaded before

Third: Install TWRP the one for xperia m2: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-0-1-0-t3570670 to flash this you need adb download from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 open adb console -> turn off your phone -> connect wile pressing volume up ->then type this one: fastboot flash recovery receveryName.img

You dont need to root your phone if you want to flash a custom rom just go to recovery ( volume down and power) wipe cache - dalvik cache - system then go install choose the rom thats all :good:

Have a nice day :)

Far from fast charging, the stock charger is painfully slow. I'd let my battery get down to about 20% last night, put it on charge and woke up 6 or 7 hours later and it was at 87%. I put it on an old Sony charger and it was up to 94% in a few minutes.

I noticed that on the stock charger it says "Charging on USB", while on the Sony charger it's "Charging on AC". It's like it's just not seeing the stock charger properly at all.
