inherited a _PIMPED_jellybomb domination and need some A's please!

i recently inherited a galaxy s3 (sprint) that has been rooted and the _PIMPED_jellybomb domination ROM installed. the phone does not have network service and when i try to boot into the bootloader a picture of the android shows up for about a second with the message "DOWNLOADING-- do not turn off target device" and then no matter i take my fingers off the power button or leave them on the screen cuts out and the phone totally shuts down and the battery charging screen comes up. what is going on? is the ROM corrupted? i made sure i was in a wifi zone thinking that the phone could not "download" because i wasnt in a wifi zone, but the result was the same. and whenever i try to access some of the ROM's features a error message comes up saying something about "unfortunately, settings have stopped"--- has anyone had any xp with this ROM? i thought it was jellyBEAN not jellyBOMBED--- PLEASE HELP!!

check the sticky threads of every section i mean dec section general section etc

though there are few ICS roms available none of them is all stuff working ROM for that u have to try different FROYO based ROM cause they have all things working you can also try CM7 a8.3 or cm 7 a9 mtd/bml or any CM based ROM they very few things that is not fixed yet (for eg coz of no openfimg support and poor gpu no games on GB based ROM) so they can be use everyday

Samsung Galaxy S3

Hi,

I'm really need someone's help. I'm not a developer and I need guidance.

1. I made a mistake and downloaded and installed a firmware on my S3 - 4.2.2 update for android

2. noticed it was in Jewish

3. It removed some of my phones functions such as the "developers" the feature you can use for USB debugging

4. I've tried to factory reset the phone like three times back to the original but the update I installed just doesn't want to go away.

Can someone kindly tell me how to ENTIRELY remove this firmware from my phone and reinstall a proper one?

PS. I'm using a macbook pro so if there's any software that I would have to download please take this into consideration and guide me accordingly.

Thanks in advance for your highly appreciated support in this matter.

Cm7 stuck in airplane mode

Hi,

I'm new to forum, but i've been using roms from this forum for a year.

I updated to cm7 alpha 9 on my samsung i5800.

Great rom but i got spontaneously stuck in airplane mode and i cant deactivate it.

I searched the forum and found problems on other devices with cm7 but none on i5800.

Does anyone have a solution. By solution i mean permanent solution and not somthing like flash again.

PS i'm sorry if i havent introduced myself somewhere if it is required.

And i cant post this under cm7 because i dont have permission.

will try that after it happens again, although i cant connect partitioning and radio control.

Meanwhile i reflashed it and i'm trying to cause the problem again.

starting the phone without sim and then with sim again resolves the stuck in airplane mode situation, however there's the issue that the phone enters and gets stuck in airplane mode on its own, which makes this rom not usable(unreliable) for everyday use for me.

CM 7.2 Alpha 9 MTD: Discharging while phone is off

Hello,

I am new to this forum and I love it so far =)

As I am not yet allowed to post in the development section, I wanted to report a problem with CM 7.2 Alpha9 MTD here.

I flashed CM 7.2 Alpha 9 and MTD Version after that as intended, using standard kernel.

Like some other already reported in CM 7.2, my battery is discharging while the phone is turned off. Even to that point, that I was not able to switch it on again in the next morning, turning it off in the evening before with like 40% battery.

How is that possible, is there anything consuming power while the phone is turned off? While using a froyo rom (Kyrillos' 9.7.1 with Fugumod 800 MHz), this problem does not appear.

Thank you.

its not due to proximity sensors because i dont put my phone on ear....
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubborn_d0nkey:
are you just flashing PDA or everything else too (except bootloader of course), if you are just flashing PDA then also flash phone (possibly CSC, doesn't hurt to try). Custom roms are often just PDA so get phone and csc from their base roms.

I know you probably flashed everything, but I dont really see anything else that could help, which is all im trying to do (:

Hari youre supposed to use memory card reader to partition the sd card as flash drive. I did the same thing. Remove the cable from the phone and format your sd card via your phone. If your phone doesnt read it. Restart your and then format it again via phone. If phone reads it and then connect the usb cable. Your pc should read the card. Then format it again just to make sure.

There are two types.

Soft brick: you bootloop (see the logo and the phone never fully boots). This is what happens when you pull the usb or the flashing tool exits when flashing.

Hard brick: this happens when you flash the bootloader and it gets corrupted. The term "hard brick" is used because the phone essentially becomes nothing but a paperweight or a "brick"
