How do I get this phone fully ASOP'd
Related
I had my wife's vibrant rooted a while back. Now when I try to update from 2.1 to 2.2 it says "No firmware". So I started doing update with download mode and all and ended up with 2.2 but my phone won't recognize the sim card or let me make a call anymore. Wifi and all works but phone wont. So I had to flash back to 2.1. Any clues? In the process of going to 2.2 and coming back I semi bricked my phone a few times but thankfully was able to get it back alive.
Thanks.
Problem: Phone will not charge while powered off. Phone freezes on "Galaxy S III" screen. I can sometimes get my phone to boot up if i try installing the clockwork.tar or stock image file(boot-stock-sprint-sph-l710.tar) in Odin. When i can get into my phone and it boots up my battery is at 1% and a message pops up saying "charging paused: battery temp too high". When my phone is off and plugged into a wall a yellow triangle with a thermostat appears and doesnt seem to charge.
Background: My phone is the Sprint version of the GS3. My phone is rooted. I haven't touched any files pertaining to the system nor have I tried removing any bloatware. I haven't flashed any ROMs.The only posibile thing i have done that may have caused this is restoring apps in TB that were originally on my Droid X (only restored data on 2 games and amazon app store. didnt restore any system files or apps).I installed CWM using Odin(not adb). I rooted my phone by flashing the superuser.zip file in clockwork recovery. My phone was rooted for over 24 hours and functioning fine prior to bricking/battery problem. I currently can get into download mode but not CWM recovery.
My current plan moving forward is to try and get a new battery/find someone close to me with a gs3 so i can charge my battery before messing with my phone. I am afraid that if i try flashing anything in Odin now my phone may die in the process and mess my phone up any more than it is. One i get a charged battery i plan on trying to get back into CWM and restoring my non-rooted backup I made, or wait on a Full stock Odin package for my phone.
Also does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 battery is compatible with the US Variants? I found this on Ebay -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-2100mAh...Accessories&hash=item3a753b6680#ht_2405wt_952 and figured it might be worth a shot. I had a similar charger as shown in the picture for my Droid X and it worked fine.
If anyone has any ideas as to why this happened to me or has any advice/suggestions i would greatly appreciate it.
I have an Android Razr that WAS rooted. I kept having issues with the OTA JB upgrade so I unrooted, went back to stock and updated. Now I am having issues with getting the phone to root again. I also have a warranty issue with the charger not fitting into the phone properly.
I know that with the phone being rooted, Verizon will not warranty this. Is there a way to erase the footprint on the phone of it being rooted in the past so I can get a replacement?
If not, What do I need to do to re-root this device and use a different rom?
My charger will work if I leave the phone alone... My battery life has been cut in half since the upgrade n matter what task killer I use, turing off WiFi or whatever else I have tried.
I have tried the RS lite and all goes well until the end when I get a recipe failure. Now I cannot simply reboot my phone, I must hard reset each time and select BP Tools to reboot.
This is annoying and I cannot find a strait forward answer.
Would someone help me out here?

HTC One Tmo US fully stock and fully updated:
Ran the update. Verified it was all charged and, after it downloaded the update, left it and returned an hour or so later.
The phone was just sitting at the "HTC quietly brilliant". Left it for another hour and same thing. Did a factory reset and a cache reset. Still wont boot.
Instead of sending in the phone and getting a referb I want to root the device. However I can't turn fastboot off since the phone wont boot fully. Any ideas on how I can get the computer to see the phone so that I can request the token code to get my bootloader unlocked? Please HELP Thanks
Hello all,
I have a soft-bricked Galaxy S3. I have no idea why it soft-bricked. I was using Google Maps to find a place and put it in my pocket. When I got there and took the phone out, I was greeted with a black screen with the white Galaxy S3 I-9300 logo that wouldn't go away. Tried taking the battery out then putting it back in and powering on: no dice.
I cannot access Recovery Mode with the Volume Up shortcut; the device bootloops. I can only access Download Mode with Volume Down shortcut. Even stranger, plugging the phone into the charger causes the battery icon to appear, then freeze.
Now, most advice I've searched for says to flash firmware or a custom ROM or do a factory reset to get the phone working again. I'm worried about doing this because it will probably delete the data on the phone. I don't really care about the phone anymore having bought a new one; I just want to get the data. Please let me know what I can do to recover it. Again, the phone doesn't matter. If your method requires me to break the phone in half, so be it as long as the data remains intact and I can retrieve it.
Thanks very much for reading!
