Follow the instructions, but take a backup of your NV partition before proceeding. It corrupted my partition (no mobile network now) so now I'm looking for a solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwiscole:
Only solution I could find, was flash the phone with an older OS file

" Oppo A57-CPH1701EX_11_A.05_170120 Ok Tasted Firmware & Tool By Jamil Mobile.rar "

then connect the wifi and take the OTA update. That restores the GSM signal.

Very frustrating. Hopefully someone works out how to do this without effecting the GSM signal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jboywonder:
I already have a copy of the old OTA available from the site, what did you use to flash it?

Are you using tools that come with the RAR you mentioned? Any chance I could grab a download link if so?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myollnir:
Hi all, maybe you can help me. I'm new to this flashing stuff, so I kind messed-up my device.

I bought an A57, with chinese firmware on it.

Thinking that I could just convert it into an international version, I used the msm download tool to flash it.

However, an error occur during flashing which made me try the SMT mode.

The flash was successful.

However, when I check on my phone, I could only see a distorted white screen.

Help please.. :crying:

Safety Net

Hi guys,

Got a mate with a stock Oppo A57, he is technologically challenged so he asked me for help.

He installed and tried to play PoGo and it wouldn't log him in, I had similar issue after rooting my device so I had him download a safetynet checker which failed.

His device is brand new and never been rooted nor even had the bootloader unlocked.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and know possible cause and/or possible fix?

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3DC0D3:
I had this phone bricked for almost 1-2 months, now I wanted to see if I can get it back to work, I'll list here the extensive list of thing that I tryed before finding this weird problem:

All I remember from 2 months ago is that I had the pre-rooted rom 21.40.1220.1998, had a no signal problem, tried rebooting the phone and it started bootlooping, bootloader was already unlocked when this happened.

I tryed varius flashes from stock recovery, TWRP, even tried installing lineage, but I don't recall the exact steps that I tried at that time. I'm sure that were a lot.

Now, today, booted phone, it started on fastboot mode, tried booting recovery, no way. Flashed stock recovery package found on internet, got stock recovery back.

Then I started doing as follows:

Flashing the oldest stock rom package I had, installation stuck on opening update package for 1 hour, removed battery from the device

tried downloading the package same as the one maked on the first line of the recovery screen, flashed without errors, rebooted: bootloop.

tried flashing a more recent recovery and boot img from fast boot, making sure to do a fastboot erase of both partitions before. recovery doesn't start.

Tried installing TWRP recovery, and rebooting, no way, phone boots on fastboot.

done a "fastboot boot twrprecovery.img" to wipe from there the partitions. Got a mount error for each partition.

I went to the partition repair screen for system, and then I noticed the partition size was 0MB. WTF!

Checked all other partitions, all 0MB size, 0MB used, 0MB free. except for the cahce one, it is 27MB and empty.

Now, I'm pretty sure I need to repartion theese partions, but I don't know the original size. Someone here does have the partion size for system and data (and I gues also recovery?)?

There is any other way to fix this problem and get the phone back to work? I literally spend all the day trying every solution I found on internet.

Just received XZP from SONY store, Out for a small trip today ,take pictures for family, all the pictures are distorted, only the head in the middle is slightly normal, but the body still twisted.

See attachment photos the head around the lens surrounding site all the irregular distorted .

this is not a simple wide-angle distortion but a rare irregular distortion.Try to shoot real person in different angles, the problem will be more serious then the attachment screen take photos , you simply can not choose one normal photos

Is this issue can fix by the update ???

XZS forum are the same problems have been 2 months still no fix !

Now seems the whold world xzp is the same problem,

the flat shooting distortion is not the main problem, just for your reference .The main problem is the three-dimensional scene, when shooting three-dimensional scene will enhance the perspective several times, seriously beyond the reach of the human eye perceived acceptance , also seriously beyond the distortion of other mobile phones,The closer result you get will distortion more, No matter how you compose, how to adjust the distance and shooting angle,As long as leaving the center little center area, all will be serious distortion,again seriously beyond the distortion of other mobile phones!

see carefully all the picture in all pages from different users , Portrait photography and flat grid shooting.

What I meant get the phone replaced and see and when you're getting replaced do your testing and see if the distortion still persists. If it does that means something is wrong with the glass they're using and Sony should be aware of this matter.

And yes you can try a different camera app from play store to see if this is a software issue.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] AlexJumper:
I've posted about this here and there but I think that I have enough data for a wide audience now.

Let me start at the beginning.

I got an international I9305 from the Nordic region about 2,5 years ago, can't remember exactly which build of Android was on it, but it had a stock FM tuner app which I've used at school to check if the FM transmitter we built over the course of a class project was working. Shortly after that instance I got an OTA update( to 4.3 or 4.4.4, sadly can't recall) after which the app disappeared and I lost FM functionality(I had trouble rooting at the time, so Spirit FM was not helpful)

Currently I'm on a custom stock-based ROM made by [MENTION=5784234]MaHo_66[/MENTION] from his thread here, running the UFPB1 build on NEE CSC(Props to him for doing a fine work with these ROMs :D ), but either the ROM or AGNi do not implement drivers/libraries/dependencies for FM functionality.

So now I turn to you.

I'm searching for devs that have this device and/or are willing to help with this, I'm way past warranty and will try anything to restore FM functionality, just for the sake of proving that it works. (And maybe this thread helps other people who have this device)

How do I support my statements you ask?

The FM is built into the WiFi/BT chip, which is the BCM4334, or as Samsung references it, the SWB-B53, which is probably a modified/proprietary version of the BCM4334 made by Samsung itself, so not much info on it or a separate datasheet. So we know the chip is there, it's just a matter of gaining access to it. Though the service manual shows the connector to the FM antenna to be grounded, this might not be the case for every single motherboard (as I know mine has worked in the past, there's no way it's grounded(OR it's supposed to be because the headphones are used as the antenna, not sure on this one))

I've attached screenshots of the system info, SD Insider showing that the chip is in fact the one talked about earlier, and shots of the motherboard disassembled. The chip that's right under the power button is the one we're looking for. This proves that the hardware is there, we just need software to run it :D

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] AlexJumper:
Spirit FM would be a solution, but either the ROM or the kernel I'm running right now doesn't have drivers for FM, so it won't work for me :(

Basically I'm looking for a way to implement(port?) drivers from firmware that has them to my current ROM, or a way to flash said firmware through custom recovery.

I've tried to downgrade through Odin, but I've been unsuccessful up to this point.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
What's your problem with Odin? Maybe, someone or me can help? BTW. Which recovery are you using? What's your bootloader?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] AlexJumper:
Before I tried fiddling with rooting and whatnot, I was on stock 4.4.4 so that's definitely the Knox bootloader, after that I got TWRP when Unified Android Toolkit got support for all I9305 builds, then I was able to flash whatever I tried to through TWRP.

I got back to a 4.1.1 build following instructions from this thread, which describes a SIM unlock procedure but it also promises that

(Thinking about it again, I may have misunderstood that :D)

Anyways, then I got to flashing one of MaHo's ROMs, the build that I'm on right now is I9305XXUFPB1.

But when I was trying to downgrade to find a build that had FM functionality, in one instance I got bootlooping and no recovery access, in another Odin failed to flash(because of it trying to flash an older bootloader over Knox's bootloader) and I had to emergency recover via Smart Switch.

It flashed a newer build though, and since that, every time I flash older firmware through I get bootloops. (Or I just suck at making Odin-flashable packages :P )

Here's what UAT has to say, seems like I have the latest bootloader now

View attachment 4168400

Oh and I currently have TWRP 2.6.3.0 as custom recovery
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DJ aliasz3d:
Yes he doesn't need support it looks great I said that in regards to structuring a thread before I checked it out :)

I think your being modest considering you've got one pinned :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
In the attached screenshot you see my Bootloader I9305XXUEMKC, I think it's still the one from 4.3 JB. And I definitely suggest to upgrade TWRP to 3.0.2-1 that I also use. I personally won't go to higher custom TWRP versions that are out, because I read about some issues with them; e.g. @alias_ z3d had issued a warning in rodman01's RR thread.

How about just to flash through Odin Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root for Android 4.1.1 again, and - if that works - to start from there

Finally, this week I just rooted an i8190 via Odin and had initially a bad experience but finally a very easy solution. At the end of the ROM flash by Odin, the device automatically booted into system as this was ticked in Odin. It was constantly booting, I assume a bootloop, and after about 2 hours I lost patience. Took the battery out, inserted it again, and started into recovery (home+vol up+pwr). At that time, still the stock recovery was installed i.e. no real capabilities. But at least, I could wipe cache and data. Did that and initiated a boot into system. And that was it. Booting took about 2 minutes, and I had a rooted i8190. Next thing I did, was to flash TWRP 3.0.1 onto the i8190 by Heimdall.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] AlexJumper:
So my course of action is:

1) Go back to 4.1.1

2) Flash CF Auto Root

3) Flash TWRP

4) Flash whatever else

Am I correct?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
Affirmative. If I had to play with this device I'd try the following but not knowing if it works:

NO WARRANTY - Use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for bricking your device.

Flash the above linked CF AutoRoot tar.md5-file through Odin, which hopefully reverts you to the desired 4.1.1 (unless this file works try the other CF AutoRoot for 4.4.4 - that's actually the one, with which I rooted an i9305 months ago)

Flash TWRP 3.0.2-1 via Odin or apps like Flashify (the one I use) or Flashfire etc.

Further flashes depend on your desire. Other ROM (hopefully with FM radio drivers), baseband/modem etc.

Instead of using Odin you could certainly also take Heimdall. I used Heimdall only once thus far for the mentioned i8190 to flash a TWRP-3.0.1.img (explained here and here a bit more in detail).

I searched the web like hell for Samsung ROM FM radio driver but no joy.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] AlexJumper:
Ok so I got back to the 4.1.1 build from the thread I linked in my previous post, apparently my bootloader somehow changed..

View attachment 4169145

The CF Auto Root file though seems to be based on a slightly different build than the one I've got now (JRO03C.I9305ZHALI8 while I have JRO03C.I9305XXALI5), should I flash it or is there a possibility it breaks something?

Nevermind, it worked flawlessly :P

I also updated TWRP to 3.0.2-1.

Now to find a way to get to the builds I need :P
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
Super. I thought the main intention was to bring the device back to 4.1.1, and that was accomplished.

Is it (still) rooted?

If it is, I wouldn't continue with CF-AutoRoot as its only purpose is to get a device rooted.

If you still need root, I personally would continue but I don't know if you might brick the phone.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] AlexJumper:
No, I needed to get back to 4.1.1 as a start because flashing older builds was a pain with 4.4.4 and its bootloader.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
The e.g. i8190 has a FM receiver. Maybe it works if you grab some commits from firmware of the i8190 and incorporate it into your ROM. I know you can't compare S3 LTE and S3 Mini with their totally different hardwares but...:o
