So I've been searching for a while now and thought maybe you guys can help out. I need the above product to use in virtual box in windows. And the one I need is the older version of it (version 1). And I'm having a hard time finding it. I just bought one from snapdeal which I thought was correct after going through reviews, but it wasn't (it wasn't specified in the item description either). So it would help if you guys found the correct product and gave me the link to buy it from India. Thanks!

Read some Stickies, there's guides written to fix this. It's in Android development, called softbrick repair guide.

If you're still confused do a search, this question was answered 1000 times. It's an easy fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Your device has a locked bootloader, you can't flash TWRP on a device with a locked bootloader. Don't just assume you can flash anything on any device, there are factors that change what can be flashed or even if anything can be flashed at all.

Your only options are:

1) flash stock firmware via Odin

2) follow this thread to unbrick Verizon S3

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581166

3) send your device to a repair shop that offers a JTAG service.

4) replace the motherboard in your device

5) buy a new device.

Is my device Hard-Bricked??

i dont want to go to a repair shop, i dont have enough money....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It's just softbricked, you don't need to use JTAG or the hard brick guide, just follow the softbricked guide with a ne1 stock ROM. The one by the pagel works perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JeRiCkY_pOpS:
i followed all your instructions, but i see in this thread "https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2586319" that it is needed to go to download mode to debrick the soft-bricked Verizon galaxy s3.....:(:( and as i said i can't go to download mode......and when i go to this thread "https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581166" this fix work on hard bricked devices for example "the device wont turn on at all, no odin mode, no download mode"

But i think my device is softbricked and also hard bricked:D:D because i can turn it on (like softbrick) and stating the message "system software not authorized by verizon", and also can't go to odin/download mode (like hardbricked)

What's happening in my Device?? :crying::crying::crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
The boot from SD card method that I gave you a link to might work in your situation.

Or, you can try buying a USB jig from eBay for $3-5, it's a tool designed to force your device into download mode. It isn't guaranteed to work but if it does you can flash the firmware. If it doesn't then you only lose $5.

If you can't fix it yourself then a JTAG service is your best option, it isn't guaranteed to work either and it usually costs around $50 plus it has to be shipped to the shop, repaired and then shipped back to you.

Or you can buy another motherboard and put the new one in your device. This is an option you can do yourself of you're careful.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
There's no reason why you can't get into download mode.

USB jig, or use ADB and force it into download mode.

There is absolutely no way you're hard bricked, booting from an SD card won't work in this case because your phone turns on normally. Just keep trying every method you can find to force your phone into download mode and work from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I agree, I don't see any reason why it can't get to download mode. Something should work.

Have you tried pulling the battery out, then holding the volume down+home+power then inserting the battery to "bump" it into download mode?

It's a little tricky but has been known to work pretty reliably.

I have a post on navizons tech support forum, and there have been two people with advantages who have successfully installed and ran the program...as far as I can tell the only difference is our roms.

And then in a terminal:

To access adb :

adb devices

To access fastboot :

fastboot devices

Rest of the commands go on as usual.

I would also like to know the answer. Today I will receive a brand new G5S Plus.

If I unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, decrypt data, and install Magisk, will I still receive OTA updates (including in a few months Oreo)?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] revengineer:
Installing TWRP will certainly prevent you from getting OTAs. Not sure whether simply unlocking the bootloader will disqualify you as well.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gewe:
I like to have my phone rooted (for things like backup, adblocker).

Since the data partition has to be decrypted for TWRP and Magisk, would the following order make OTA possible?

Create backup

Uninstall Magisk

Flash stock bootloader

Reboot

Let OTA install do its work

Reinstall TWRP

Decrypt data partition

Reinstall Magisk

Restore data partition
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] revengineer:
You need original recovery for sure. Flashing bootloader alone is not sufficient. I believe you also need to lock the bootloader. What I do not know is whether you need signed images of bootloader and/or recovery. The firmware floating around here does not included signed images.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gewe:
At the moment I am trying to create a backup of everything in the state directly after unlocking the bootloader.

I booted TWRP without flashing it, so I can create a backup. However, the backup freezes. I could create a backup of all partitions, except system. When I include system, the backup freezes. I tried three times. It froze at 13%, 21% and 1% (posted this here).
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] tag68:
You don't need signed images, and you don't need a locked bootloader to install OTA.

Signed images are only necessary for locking bootloader. Nothing else should be concerned.

Locked bootloader is only necessary for passing SafetyNet. Alternative is using Magisk, which pretends to the verifying routine the bootloader would have been locked. Then you should pass SafetyNet again, until the checks SafetyNet do are modified. Then it fails, until Magisk is updated to circumvent these checks also ... it is a cat-and-mouse game, and the author of Magisk (topjohnwu) is a fast one. But there probably always will be times where neither PokemonGo nor Android Pay are running fine. If you want root (my personal belief is, if you own a device, you should have the right to access and modify all data on it), you need to deal with it.

OTA update checks some things (system, recovery, boot, oem, maybe some more) are not modified. Mounting system r/w may suffice to mark the partition as changed and prevent installation of OTA. Failed OTA usually reverts to previous state and gives an error message, then you may read the logs to see what went wrong. Your device stays in a usable state in most cases, at least that's my experience.

Disclaimer: I don't own a G5S Plus, but I'm usually recommending it if I'm asked which mobile is currently a good one to buy. What I write here is to the best of my knowledge applying to many Android, at least most Moto devices. Some behaviours may change when Oreo arrives. Always do a complete backup before any action, and don't forget to treat /data/media in a special way if using Nandroid in twrp.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ns78:
I can't even unlock the bootloader...:crying:, let alone flashing twrp and rooting my device..... I have no idea where i am going wrong, i followed every step you mentioned. i tried running this command:

Has anyone got Link2SD to work on the R1 HD? It always seems to give the error: mount script cannot be created "mount:No such file or directory" when trying to create mount script. Any ideas what going on.?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
yes. the android toybox/ toolbox used by blu has been altered and the mount function is not working properly. Same issue some have had with adaway, and other mods. The solution should be to install busybox and fully symlink it to /sbin.

I have not done it but based on your reported error it should be the correct solution.

Where should BusyBox be installed? ( mines currently in /system/xbin ) which BusyBox is best for this solution? ( mines v1.27.1.YDS )
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
that should be correct. I made typo , didnt mean "sbin" meant "xbin"
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] darkensx:
Ok so what should be symlink then I thought busybox install took care of the symlinking. What's the command too? Also I'm trying to use Link2SD instead of the lovely Android m adoptive sdcard stuff basically keep sd as portable while using Link2SD so I can have my PC see the fat32 partition if i needed.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
the symlinking is done from in the bustbox installer.

so, you still have problem with busybox installed?

not so sure what to try next. Ah, check in the list of installed links for busybox and see if "mount" is shown as installed.

you can try to install the "toybox" from V12. It is untested method and you would need to know how to undo if needed.

link to the twrp install of that file is in my earlier post.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] darkensx:
Got it to work had to tell BusyBox installer to overwrite and symlink it apparently it's unchecked by default as its "not recommended to replace the systems version" :silly: go figure maybe under normal circumstances with a correctly functioning mount its bad but it fixed it stericson BusyBox installer did others weren't tested but I assume same result. But thanks for your help greatly appreciated it.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] darkensx:
Just a note to anyone who comes across this thread if you use Titanium Backup at all don't use "BusyBox X" it seems to break T.B.'s ability to detect root this might be just magisk... or both SuperSU and magisk. but i had this happen with other devices some on SuperSU Some magisk but un-install "BusyBox X" (install any other busybox) and problem goes away :confused: not sure what direct cause is in "BusyBox X" might be because X is 1.26.1 and others are 1.27.1 ( ATM ) seems its always one version behind.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] dark8899:
magisk is working well in the r1?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] darkensx:
yes but because of the way we have to initially unlock/root the r1 it doesn't pass safety net with magisk unless android is not passing safety net again with magisk. but like i mentioned some things can break root "busy box X" with certain apps. also xposed framework systemless and normal seem to work well.

Hi everyone!

I'm new here and had just been browsing the forums over the past few weeks to help me decide if I was going to get this phone or not. The TELUS store in my area received stock so I went in to have a look. As soon as I held in my hand I knew I was taking one home ;)

As I was finishing the purchase the rep did the usual upsell stuff and then asked if I wanted a case... to which I replied ummm there are no cases for this phone.

She then reached behind her and pulled out a case!

If there were other brands of cases to choose from I would not have bought it, especially for the $30, but it was the only one so far.

It will do until there is something else.

I just committed another 2 years of my life to TELUS and I drop my phones at times so a skin isn't an option.

I cant post a link because I'm new but you can search viva madrid America and see.

I can also post pics if anyone wants

Someone just needs to make a bumper to show off the ceramic back. From the two drop tests that I've seen, the ceramic back is sturdy enough to withstand drops from any angle (with the exception of maybe a sharp edge).
