Gyroscope 'offset file missing' ?? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
noticing today that my camera quick start didnt work, i was wondering if anyone has had this issue before?
i have a blue S3, rooted and i cannot say that i noticed this before.
Once i go to calibrate i get this message: Unable to find Offset file. Try again
anyone knows what that means? i dont know where to look and what files are those. Do i need to reflash? I have a second S3 which i could copy a file if mine are corrupt...
thanks
vas

I'm hoping this is a software issue. Reflashing stock firmware didn't fix it. But if it was a hardware issue, would I be getting a message?

Don't think this is a hardware issue definately looks like the 4.2.1 update broke something with the camara gyroscope open feature. I didn't get the error message you are seeing however my GS3 worked with the feature on the 4.1.1 version FW most likely Samsung just missed this in trying to get the 4.2 update out before the end of the year.

But I'm only on stock kernel and 4.1.2 at the moment.!

Anyone?

wipe phone flash older firmware and test .

So you mean hard reset and flash with 4.1.1 ?
How come my other s3 didn't have this issue?
Has this come up again on 4.1.2 ?

That's why I'm asking. What's the point going back to 4.1.1? If this was more common on 4.1.2 then others would/should have similar problems.
I did a hard reset on 4.1.2 and same thing again.

Check if your gyroscope is still recognized by the phone: dial *#0*#->Sensor and play with the gyroscope tests.
If the folder /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lsm330dlc_gyro is not present on your phone, then I would guess that the kernel isn't picking up your gyroscope.

Is there a way to replace that folder?
Like from a copy paste or push feature?

Full wipe and reinstall:
Does that mean, Odin or mobile odin, stock firmware and kernel as before, then hard reset ? Or something else?
In the above order or different?

[Q] I need help returning to stock GB 2.3.5 ROM

I was on Samsung GT-I9100 / I9100XXK14 / 2.635.7-I9100XXK14 before rooting and flashing custom roms. On 2nd flash I lost all sms and call logs (nothing else) while using Titanium Backup Pro. I also had backed up in Kies. But found out I can't restore from Kies becuz it doesn't recognize custom rom. Purchased TB after I lost original XXK14 firmware due to a botched backup on my part. Can anyone help me get back to my XXK14 firmware temorarily so I cans restore sms and call logs?

Saw this link earlier but the XXK14 download link is broken and I'm not knowledgable as to what other stock roms I can use here in the U.S. on AT&T (not sure that carrier is an issue other than the fact ATT is GSM / HSPA+ 21 Mbps). I'd really appreciate directions to an alternate XXK14 link and/or another compatible GB 2.3.5 stock firmware.

I've checked and can't see anything there. Thanks.
Alternatively use Check Fus, Google it.

Here is what you need to do
1. Get Check FUS downloader: LINK
2. Run FUS Select you Carrier / Region / Model and Download the Stock firmware for your phone.
3. Backup anything you need. You will need to wipe the data and the cache from Recovery mode before you flash the downloaded Fware..
4. Use ODIN and Flash the Downloaded Stock Firmware to your phone. You will loose the root access and you should have your stock back. Yeah before Install Wipe data and cache.
Lemme know if that works. If any doubt... just ask. Dont do anything wrong i'll try to help if i know the answer.

Did you try the "firmwares" link??
I have concerns about you flashing your phone if you can't navigate a website... No offense. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's really easy to find.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 5. I foolishly flashed it yesterday to yes you guessed it, ICS 4.0.3. Now as far as the phone itself is concerned, everything is working pefectly fine. No issues whatsoever except now I've noticed that my carrier has changed to T-Mobile UK even though the phone has full functionality on the Virgin network still? Also I get the "This device cannot download firmware" message now when connected to Kies.
Have I totally ruined my phones chances of downloading any official firmware in the furture now? And how can I correct the display of my carrier? I'm guessing I will have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and re-install. But doesn't that do something to a ROM install counter someware on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

You are fine. Nothing has gone wrong. Use the FUS and get the stock firmware for you phone. Flash it via ODIN... Read the above few posts.
For your Flash counter and Bin counter, You can reset it back to zero. Look for Triangle.apk . TO use that you need to have a rooted device. Super user permissions... so run Triangle while you have rooted device? If not then root it to reset the bin or flash counter ( If you want) or just flash back the stock Fware..
No you havent ruined you phone. You can download all official firmwares. Just wait for the offical ICS for your region.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify... If I re-install the stock firmware there will be no need to root the device and install the program that resets the counters?
Also, I've noticed that Virgin Mobile UK isn't listed under my territory?
Thanks again.

From memory the only CSC that has Virgin UK is the CPW one Carphone Warehouse . Flash that or enter network settings manually .

Bricked after factory reset, I can't even see CWM. Help!

So the thing is I'm using ROOTBOX ICS rom, and because I'm willing to gift my phone to a cousin I did a Factory Reset, then my phone turn off and when it tries to wake up, after Samsung logo, it makes like a blink on the screen... every 3 seconds.
I can't enter CWM Recovery using VolUp+Menu+Power, however I can enter Download Mode using VolDown+Menu+Power.
So guys, give me a solution here please.
Thank you so much.

If you don't want to flash a stock ROM, root, and flash a custom ROM again, you can use one of odin flashable files for custom kernels, not all have one but you can check (Dorimanx for example)

Probably not. Did you flash wrong zip for model.? Can at least try a jig before you sell it for parts.
