[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Apcoolboy:
No buddy, I used to think same that ctfs may be for special edition (SE-kate). But its not, as kate version USB board contain one extra antenna as it has extra modem. We are lucky enough that USB board of kenzo (Those sub pcb have same pins as Hennessy (MTK version)) because kate's USB board is not available anywhere on internet (some source offers but shows out of stock right now)

CTFS may be of Hennessy version which I believe designed to work with mediatek chips thus getting trouble with snapdragons chips. Still works in kenzo as they share same architecture and both are 15 pin connectors.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Black_Stark:
I have ctfs purchased one and also my old hmfs original board. I m using ctfs right now on kenzo. No network issues.

I dont know which 15 pin u refering.

As far as i know. Mediatek henseey comes with 24 pin and Pro kenzo has 30 pin connector for flex cable going to mainboard. This info i got on aliexpress.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Apcoolboy:
Service charge 350? That's much more. Anyway good that your problem is gone. Did you asked them about board if they offer for sale only? (199 is good if they can offer only board no service)

I need to get Data from my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-1747 and it won't boot past the Samsung Logo.

Someone told me to...

"Get TWRP image for your S3 model, flash image using Odin, boot into TWRP recovery, mount storage to PC and recover data."

I'm very new and sorry lol. Could someone help me with the steps necessary? I have no idea what TWRP is. My phone is not rooted. Is there a guide with photos or a video? What do I need to download for Odin? How do I flash?

My phone is in the most recent Android for it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanadaChino666:
I went to the post and it said I need to download to my phone from play store.

How?

My phone is not rooted and is stuck in Bootloop.

Please and thank you if you could help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
Before you do anything, try to figure out if you can boot your phone into these 2 mode:

Download mode - With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power

Recovery mode - With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Up + Power. (Take a picture of your recovery mode because it will tell your bootloader version)

If you can't get into those mode, your phone is likely to have a bigger problem.

The instruction is for Samsung i9305 but it will work on d2att. To flash TWRP into your phone, you need to follow this instruction. (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/i9305/install). Also you need those files:

Heimdall suite - http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/#downloads

TWRP image - https://twrp.me/Devices/Samsung

The only way to flash stock firmware into the phone, is with the software Odin. It's basically starting your phone with a fresh firmware through 'Download Mode' with your phone (With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power). It will erase everything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
There was a link in the thread to the official TWRP website with instructions for using Odin to install TWRP for the d2att which is the SGH-i747: : https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys3att.html

Download the tar version of TWRP from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/ I recommend starting with version 2.8.7.0 as a starting point.

Download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ntid=1168421&usg=AOvVaw0aq_x8M8nbsqDFAFe9tFoy

Download and install the Windows Samsung USB drivers: https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows. I assume you are using a Windows computer.

Make sure the battery is fully charged. Open Odin, do not check anything except f reset time, click on the PDA box and select the TWRP tar file, connect the phone in download mode to the computer with the original Samsung USB cable, flash the TWRP. When you see the word reset, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination to get into recovery. Once in recovery, mount the data partition and copy of the data.

WARNING: flashing a phone always involves risk and you could wind up with a bricked phone and/or loss of data. Proceed cautiously and at your own peril.

Any ideas how you get the text messages and S3 Notepads out?

I've mounted it on my computer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanadaChino666:
If I use TWRP to backup my phone, will it really bootloop if I reinstall the backup?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Omarkoopa:
Yes it will, you need to figure out what's making your system bootloop and resolve it or wipe data and cache.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackBeast888:
Any idea how to investigate?

How do I wipe data and cache on TWRP?

Would backing up Data but not system, help restore files like the memos, text messages etc?

Because I could backup the Data and then wipe factory reset and then reinstall the data backup.

How do you factory reset from TWRP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Omarkoopa:
The data is what makes the system bootloop in most of the cases and since you're not rooted it is certainly the data what's causing the problem so restoring it would solve nothing.

The option is there on twrp to wipe data and cache.

---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------

To inevstigate hmmm

You need to remember what you did before the bootloop happened

For example if you installed and app try to remove it and it's data using the twrp file browser.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackBeast888:
Wiping Data and Cache will erase my files, yes?

I was uploading a file to Google Photos before the crash and loop
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
Yes. It's like a factory reset.

I think you can try to remove Google Photos apps via adb and see if it does fix your bootloop issue. Since you have a backup, you can undo your steps. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559925.

You can get adb here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
​

Before proceeding, I recommend copying what you can to a computer by mounting the data partition. Then, I would create a complete backup (system and data). Once completed, copy the back to at least one safe place, preferably 2.

Now, try wiping the cache only and reboot. It may be a cache problem that is preventing the phone from fully booting.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to provide instructions to back up text and notes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanadaChino666:
I wiped cache and still nothing.

Is there any other options besides factory reset?

Can the backup bring it back to the way it was or will it make it bootloop again?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I haven't used twrp for a long time but you could try restoring the backup and wipe the cache before booting.

Note that restoring your backup will overwrite what's currently in the phone storage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanadaChino666:
Unfortunately I can only backup the current bootloop state lol.

I think there's no other option except factory reset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackBeast888:
is there any other option besides factory reset from here lol?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
The only option maybe you have is using adb to uninstall apps one by one and hope it fixes the bootloop. You can try maybe to clear the dalvik cache + cache but I think you have done that.

I have been in this situation before. It's not fun at all. The only way to backup/recover data in a modular way, is with apps like Titanium Backup [root] and Helium. Backup your app + data when the phone is working. When you have a bootloop, do a factory reset and restore the app data incrementally. They are really great apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanadaChino666:
Can these apps be used while it is in bootloop? Lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
Unfortunately, no. You need to run the app in a working phone. Titanium backup requires root and Helium can work with or without root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanadaChino666:
Okay, I guess I will factory reset, seems to be my only option.

Helium is on Google Play?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
Both are on Google Play.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackBeast888:
Any idea how to factory reset?

I wiped using TWRP but it won't wipe the internal storage for a full wipe and factory reset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Omarkoopa:
When you wipe chose the manual option and check everything except system and sd card for a full factory reset.

But you only need to wipe cache and data for the phone to boot back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackBeast888:
do i need to flash the firmware?

because i used the automatic and it isnt booting still.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Omarkoopa:
Weird! I suggest you wipe everything including the system and install the full firmware using odin.

Don't forget to check your model and baseband version to get a matching firmware version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
I am guessing you have Samsung SIII d2att. If you have a different phone version, this does not apply to your phone. Before you do anything, you need to know the version of your bootloader. This is the list of bootloader oldest to newest:

I747UCUEMJB

I747UCUFNE4

1747UCUFNJ1

1747UCUFNJ2

In general, you want to avoid flashing to an older bootloader. I have heard you can downgrade your bootloader up to I747UCUFNE4 but I have never done that.

Flashing firmware I747UCUFNE4/I747UCUFNJ1 via odin

You need to set your phone into 'Download mode' - With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power. You can youtube how to use odin to figure out how to use it. I haven't use it a long time.

Flashing firmware 1747UCUFNJ2

I believe this file (d2att_I747UCUFNJ2.zip) is to be flashed through custom recovery, twrp. You don't need odin for this one. Make sure you wipe everything in twrp: wipe -> advance wipe -> check everything to wipe except sd card. Then install the zip file.

Flashing firmware CM 12.1

If you want to try something new. You can install a custom rom, CM 12.1. This is what I have and it is much better than the Samsung stock rom. You need to install those 3 zip file in twrp. Make sure you wipe everything: wipe -> advance wipe -> check everything to wipe except sd card. Then install the zip files.

My phone works again after flashing but I couldn't get my text messages.

I got my memos I think.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
I am glad you've got your phone back. Make sure you run Helium or Titanium Backup on your phone and the backup is store on your sd card (you need to change the app setting). Helium is straight forward, for Titanium Backup I just run the batch action script on all my user app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gh-thomas:
I’ve been in the same situation. If you still have your TWRP nandroid backup and your system is running again after a factory reset, then you can restore your text messages using Nandroid Manager.

This worked for me. You can also restore the apps with it or download it from the Play Store. For app data I had to use Titanium Backup after I installed the apps. You can also restore the app data from the nandroid backup with it.

Another question...

Can the ram be expanded on an S3 like a laptop?

My phone has been holding me down for so long and I like it and was wondering if it is possible to make the ram more than 1.5gb.

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

Can this be used in my situation?

I have no backups since the flash wiped out everything

I was able to get my memo files out though as they can be opened by MS Paint.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
The short answer, no (more total amount of ram). But you can claim more of free ram with custom rom. They remove all the bloatware from the phone. Also you can decrease the number of Google apps. Both makes more free ram and internal storage on your phone.

Also stock rom is stuck on Android KitKat. I have CM 12.1 (Android Lollipop) and I have noticed a better performance from the phone. I think android Lollipop has a better memory management than KitKat.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackBeast888:
What is a good custom?

I could go with deleting some bloatware and perhaps completely deleting uninstalled apps.

I think what caused the bootloop was that apps did not complete uninstall even though it did not show as installed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nehc_rm:
I only have tried CM 12.1 and I am pretty happy with it. People also have recommended CarbonRom KitKat.

CM 12.1 - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76983817&postcount=28

CarbonRom KitKat - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76779694&postcount=604

You can do that. I have used Titanium Backup to remove the bloatware apps. It does a good job.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71754201&postcount=2

It's not easy to troubleshoot bootloop. You can try to read logcat with Android Studio to see what triggers the bootloop. Use adb or twrp file manager to remove the app+data. I didn't have the patience to go through the step. I just flashed my phone.

If you have an uninstall app issue, I think you have to do wipe davilk cache + cache. I am not 100% sure. Somebody else can confirm this. I have not encountered that before.

I am stuck in a rural area with only Verizon as a carrier. I get decent 4G LTE reception, so that is good. I have virtually no other internet options, besides satellite. I purchased a galaxy S4 hoping to install Lineage OS, only to find it has a locked bootloader.:confused: Have been using Stang5litre ROM, but often the 4G radio disappears, plus keep getting "Android optimizing" when powering on that take 15 mins to complete. So I would like to get a new/used phone for internet access. Was hoping to install Lineage OS, as I have read good things about their support. I don't have too many wishes, just a reliable phone that works well. I will tether this phone to my home router, so hiding that from Verizon/Straighttalk is a must. I will run IPVanish app on phone, then tether to router running OpenWrt through SSH tunnel, so root is a must. Would like unlocked bootloader also.

So from the rambling above does anyone have advise for what phone I should purchase?

In my humble option I wold go this route( first phone). I have not personally bought from him but two friends did and had good luck. You could also try your luck on eBay or swapa or whatever online merchant you chose and get a used s5 but like I said that's a gamble because only certain ones can be bootloader unlocked and most venders out there won't be able to help you. The g900v s5 isn't the only phone that will work in your situation but your options are very very slim. Verizon makes it very hard for people who don't want there bloatware. I have been in your situation pm me if you want any advice and I will try my best to help.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] Stefan3DX:
5 months ago I have received a Huawei P9 Lite 2017 (P8 or Nova Lite) and I gave it to my girlfriend after 5 months (I get bored of it). After I put back an original Android version and locked the bootloader back to give it to her in warranty, I have experienced a 99% stuck at factory reset. No buttons were working (key combinations) either erecovery, or fastboot.

After 24h+ I have developed this solution:

1. Discharge the phone to 0% (let the 99% emui reset to discharge the phone)

2. Let it charge for 5 minutes after complete discharge

3. Press the down button and connect it to computer and the phone will boot as usual

3.1 If 3 doesn't work press the power button while charging and volume down until the u see Huawei Booting logo(the blue one)

4. In the phone enable OEM unlock and enable debugging

5. Enter in setting and reset the phone

6. It will block again at 99% but on Factory Reset Low-Level

7. Turn off the phone and press volume down+ connect to pc and it will enter on fastboot mode

8. Using an ADB or a tool, boot to erecovery (I used smth called like SRT tool for Huawei)

9. In eRecovery connect to WiFi and simply let the recovery reinstall the OS and enjoy your phone afterwards.

If this was usefull, let me know. Have a great day.:svetius:
