So I just sent my S3 looping through the air crashing in my bathtub. Although dry, it seems to have killed the display. I'm unable to unlock it. Which gives me some problems when it comes to accessing my data which is on the built in memory on the phone. This media transfer thing does not let me access the data when the screen is locked, and the touchpad doesnt seem to work
Ideas?
Thanks

I have one idea may be it works,very difficult if u r new because it may void phone warranty...
That is
Install cwm recovery by entering download modo which appears by volume down + power button+ home button
And then make back up in ur as card...
That's it...

hi all. I have a huge problem. I tried to fix the lag by using the file posted here and it didn't solve the problem so i tried to delete the lag fix from "remove" option on MCR program then it went to black! Ok, here is the important part. When I rooted the phone, I used sdk option to root the phone as my buttons were not worked for recovery mode (newer version i guess...) and now , as i can't use the sdk option to make it recovery mode, i can't fix the brick problem!! Can someone pls get into this? I purchased this phone from ebay and set up the phone for last 3 days....if i don't sove this, I'll be in trouble..Thanks all!
Get in to download mode flash stock odin and you be good to go

Have you tried this? This works for me..
For recovery mode this works for me,
Remove battery
Install battery
Press and hold vol+/vol-
Press and hold power button
Once you see the Vibrant Screen do not release any of the buttons (vol+/vol- and power buttons) it will go black then back to Vibrant screen, then you release the power button only but keep pressing the vol-/vol+ buttons... this should get you into recovery mode..
For Download mode this helps me,
Remove Battery
Plug in USB cable to phone and computer
Put Battery In.. wait a couple of seconde until it shows the battery being charge..
Press and hold the vol+/vol- and the power button..
This will power up you phone.. once you see the Vibrant screen and it turn black, release the power button only.. this should get you into DL mode (it works for me). good luck.
Well If you have the hardware locked vibrant you are out of luck. There is nothing you can do

nope ur ****ed... call tmobile and tell them to send you a new one.
one last question. I already set up all email acc and contacts..so if they fix it , are they able to see all my emails (i'll change password stuff but old msgs) and my contact lists? This is a privary reason tho.
it works on my T-mobile Vibrant.
just wipe the phone before you give them for another one

this has been happening quite often now. half way thru the call conversation after i took the call the phone would cut the call out and start rebooting itself. i have changed the sd card to a fast card with big memory. is there any thing easy i can do to fix it? would resetting the phone help?

r u sing a custom rom or a2sd or somthing it seems to be a prob wth the flash rom
Only if u are on stock rom.
Try this just remove your sdcard for one day and use ur phone. If it doesn't reboot than ur sdcard may be still b the culprit. If this doesn't solve ur problem shutdown ur phone press and hold volume down + home + power button. Ur phone will hard reset so all ur downloaded apps and contacts and msg everything will clear so better take backup of those.
I did that when I was on stock rom it solved my problem. Also check does ur button led flashes when phone restarts than some app which u have installed may cause that problem like call recorder or full screen caller id. U can uninstall them to check if it solves ur problem.

u sure it's i the right order with vol down + home + power?
i got the power off/plan mode menu after i did that.
I did the reset successfully. I didn't realized I need to turn the phone off first.
Did it solve your problem.

I am not looking for a call recorder. Just a voice recorder which does both. I tried almost all of the popular ones on the market but the phone shuts down a lil while after the screen goes off. I finally found Andrecorder which didn't show that problem. But all the good ones with better features like Total recall, Ultimate recorder, etc did.
2 days ago i found a sgs2 on the ground outside at the city. the screen is totally ****ed but it still works. so i thought cool, who ever lost it, should have been more carefully, but honestly i dont care.
but when i turn it on, i can se its on cynogenmode but i cant use cause of some screen password. i have tried everything from re flash og several types of roms, including stock, cynogenmode and exonys, but all appear but it wont install new rom. i cant enter factory mode, cause when i try it says need password. so i cant do a hardreset. i have searched the net for everything, and i have tried almost possible ways to get around that screen lock, but nothing works. so how can i get rid of it??? when i press volume upp with home and turn on button it askes for passworld, when i do it with volume down, i get into odin mode. i have tried 0000 and 00000000 but still dont work. any one can help?? pls

Well, not sure if there are any other options for our phone, but issue one would be the fact that we don't have any physical buttons on our phone.

Turn on your phone, restart, or hot restart > as soon as you see boot animation hold down volume down button. Keep it held until you get a long vibrate. After the vibrate you can let go. You should be in safe mode then.
To get out of it you can hot restart.

I think he means on the face of the device. Like, the old HTC Hero has physical buttons for home, menu, etc and a trackball .

A WORD OF CAUTION TO ALL ...
I tried this when I was having trouble connecting to my SDcard via USB and it did work, BUT... for some reason, it completely wiped out all of my widgets and home screen shortcuts.
Maybe this is an isolated problem with my phone, but be aware of this possibility before you proceed.

Did you have that issue after you exited safe mode? I remember that after I exited safe mode on my thunderbolt everything returned to normal.
I booted into safe mode once by accident, same thing, everything on the home screens was almost like a factory default, rebooted and it was fine again, everything came back to normal... Pretty sure Safe Mode on the Rezound is just like in Windows, it essentially just skips a bunch of custom and non-essential startup configuration parameters.

All the widgets and shortcuts were gone after I rebooted into normal mode. The same thing happened once before but I was in the middle of trouble-shooting some issues so I dismissed it as a system glitch.
On my Samsung Galaxy S3 (d2mtr) it keeps giving me a "Mobile network not available" error whenever I try and make a call. I can go on the web and social networking apps; download apps. The only thing I can not do is make calls. I looked under settings and saw that "Network Operators" is not available to enter. Any ideas on how to fix this??
EDIT: My IMEI number does in fact show up. Idk what is wrong with this.
EDIT: NEW PROBLEM. I was reading a tutorial about flashing back to stock firmware and it said to downgrade my bootloader. I used the recovery flash method and now I have a black screen. Can't do anything. Turn off, turn on. Just stays black with no response. Someone help fast Please

No sir I can not just stays on a black screen.
Plug it in your wall charger and leave it for 15-20 minutes to charge. Then retry. Maybe your battery is discharged. I've read similar posts. Good luck!
If you've flashed the wrong bootloader or it went wrong then you have a hard brick. Try a usb jig, but probable you'll need a new motherboard.
