Dear Sirs
I got a brand new SG3 and the moment I got it, I was restoring data I backed up from my old phone (SG2) via kies
I noticed Kies is alerting me to update the firmware to 4.1.1, and I did it.
Now the DEVICE STATUS shows as Modified!!!
Anybody can help.? And how can I restore it to Normal again?
regards, and many thanks
Put your question in the topic in brief rather than nothing. You might get a response that way.

Hi all,
Hoping someone can give me a bit of guidance/ advice here. As you’ll see I have very limited knowledge so apologies in advance for the dumb questions.
Bit of background, I flashed my Galaxy S2 about a year ago with the Litening Rom, using Odin. The only backup I made was using CWM as advised to do so. The phone has worked great since, absolutely love the SG2.
Tuesday night, without any warning I lost all network services, IMEI number and Baseband. Through looking a few threads on here I think this means my EFS folder is corrupted?
Looking to fix the problem I have downloaded Lyrquidperfection EPS pro but am having trouble even getting the phone to be recognized by my laptop – it connects intermittently but then drops out. All I’m getting from EPS Pro is “device not connected”.
Any ideas on how I can a) get this working? And b) what are the chances of me using the software to get a working EFS folder from the backup I made using CWM??
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello Xda community,
Alright after exhausting all other options i have decided to turn to our community in hopes that i can come to some sort of resolution for this matter. Okay i own a Sophix Tab-840g past warranty my problem is my software was causing freeze and reboots i left it that way for a while because it wasn't bothering me. So i waited long enough for them to make a new firmware and i upgraded, however upon doing so i was not able to use the touchscreen. Also, i have no back up...... was a bad move in retrospect. I did some research and found that that the freezing was due to the actual firmware and many people had tried to update running into the same situation where the touchscreen stopped working.
The only difference between when i did it and when they did it is the company had there older firmware available still. That is no longer that case they only have the new firmware and after calling they no longer have old software available. Other people reverted back and atleast there tablet worked, however I CANNOT get the old firmware ANYWHERE........in there guide they talk of the use of update "update-tab840-v02-20130315.img" when using there batch program. The only firmware available is the new one “upgrade-tab840-v03-20130607" i'm looking for the older update "update-tab840-v02-20130315.img" to fix my tablet or a way to fix this touchscreen hard reset is out of the option i have already done this method a couple times, i tried installing from sd, and from the computer all with the same error. Thank you so much for reading this and also for any help i procure. I will be uploading the version of my firmware i have no and the old one if i get it so this can the fix for this dreaded problem with so few forums talking of a fix.
Thank you,
Captainsploof
P.S. having trouble uploading firmware at this point keeps saying page unavailable during upload 8/18/2014
Hi all,
I was hoping to be able to ge some advice on what to do or how to try to recover the files that i have in my phone.
My phone stopped working without any apparent reason and i have a lot of things that i didnt backed up.
When i try to start my phone , i´m new at this so please bear with me, what shows it's the " Samnsung GALAXY SIII GT-19305N " screen, as it would if it was going to start normally, but it does not go further than that.
The only button combination that i have gotten to work is home+power+volume down. That takes me to a screen that says that installing a custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and in applications, etc etc.
I have never had another ROM or OS installed in it.
I did however have it rooted by an application called kingroot if i dont remember wrong, to be able to install a game-assisting app.
Thank you for taking your time to read this , hope someone can help me out.
Hi,
I will move your thread to your devices Q&A section here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help
You will need to register on XDA to respond to anyone who replies.
Good luck!
Flash a stock rom via odin and it should revive the phone. Make sure it's the same version as what you had before it bootlooped and it wont erase anything.

Hello guys.
Few days ago I recieved my G Watches from service - motherboard and battery was replaced with new.
Android version was 5.1.1m but watch didnt worked good enough.
So I tried to restore them to default stock.
I Tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/general/restore-unroot-lock-bootloader-t2824710
But seems now I get like stock firmware with locked bootloader, and I cant activate watches.
Connecting them to my phone - and then its only "Just a sec..". and after it says, that cant get Internet connection. Tried both WiFi and Cellular - nothing helped. Sometimes it shows "Oops, something got wrong. Try again?"
And also - I cant anyhow to change firmware or even unlock bootloader - adb doesnt recognize or shows unauthorized status.....
Im tottaly messed up and confused..
Please, help me with this.
What can I try?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.
Hi,
Anyone got any suggestions or pointers for my question
I wanted to check if it is possible to flash the latest Oreo firmware directly to my samsung s7 that is currently running on 7.0? Current BaseBand is G930AUCU4BQK2
Basically what happened was that i lost all my contacts on my phone, I ended up downloading Dr.Phone to my laptop, which i used to try and recover my numbers. What i didn´t know was that dr.phone rooted my device which has caused me nothing but headaches.
I now want to flash my phone and get updated to oreo and have my phone working normally again. Since dr.phone did whatever it did to my phone I lost use of my finger print scanner, had to disable samsung health as it kept trying to open on its own, my phone is lagging and freezing constantly..
I just want my phone to be normal again and unrooted and updated.
Lastly my phone is an AT&T device, that i bought second hand in Dubai, if i flash stock firmware is it going to carrier lock my device to AT&T again?
Any advice and help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently downloading some BRA1 files that I found shared on another thread which i plan to flash to my device to start with.
I also plan to download G930AUCU4CRE4_Oreo.zip following that from another post, as i have been advised bootloader 4 is the best option to stick with and believe this is the right one but am not to sure.
i am hoping this will solve my issues and get rid of what ever rooting Dr.Phone did to my phone and give me a normally functioning phone again.
If you anyone has any insight they could share I would greatly appreciate it. Also if I am doing this right as I am a little questionable and could use the advise before i go ahead as i dotn want to end up bricking my phone.!!
