Hey, all. So, the other day I dropped the corner of a canvas frame on to the corner of my S III's screen and the LCD cracked. The display is completely blacked out now, and the digitizer is unresponsive. I put the phone up on eBay and just accepted a "Best Offer." Of course I wanted to wipe my data before shipping the phone, so I tried blindly to perform a factory reset through CWM. I do think it worked, since now I cannot connect to the device through adb (I assume that "USB Debugging" has been reset and is now turned off).
Still, I'd like to be more sure that my data is actually wiped. I would love to be able to see my phone's display, and I thought of using androidscreencast for this, but then I remembered that "USB Debugging" is turned off. Is there any way to turn it back on with use of the display/digitizer? Or, is there any other way for me to be sure that my data is wiped?
Thanks!
Why dont you buy a new screen?
Edit:I mean why sell it, unless you are gonna buy a new phone

Well, a new screen would cost me $220-240. Since I have an upgrade available on my AT&T account, I can just get a brand new Note II for just a little more cash ($270 with new agreement on Amazon). This is what I have already done. Now, since I charged the $270 on my credit card, I am wanting to put a significant dent in that debt by selling my broken S III. I was offered $200 for it on eBay. Done, and done. It all made sense to me.

Oh ok then....well since it doesn't shows on adb then it should be wiped...

Yeah, I suppose I'll just have to trust that it is.
Download mode wait a second or two then Vol up then flash stock rom via Odin .should reboot itself .

This won't factory reset or wipe anything. Flashing a stock ROM via Odin doesn't wipe anything.

Ok,
I took my phone back to complete stock last night using odin, this morning I wanted to update the phone so my kiddo could get the new market, after downloading kies and running the update the phone will not turn on at all. it does not show when I connect a charger and I cant get it to go into download mode. Any suggestions or is this phone now done?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
I Tried this and it didn't work. I really believe my phone is completely dead!
So there is no sign of life at all? No leds or any backlight behind the screen? If not, then you are hardbricked. Kies is notorious for hardbricking phones.
You can call your carrier or Samsung and tell them your phone was bricked using THEIR software and see where that goes.
Sorry for your loss.
Nothing at all idk what they will say since I've had the phone since brand new

I had the exact problem you did. Tmobile sent me a replacement, and now I have a phone with no scratches or dings! :victory:
Well I've had mine since the day it came out, it it's out of warranty so t-mobile won't cover it, Samsung was not going to cover it at first but after it was said and done they decided to cover it since it was there software that bricked my phone

This happened to me awhile back! I called T-Mobile, but as I was out of warranty, no phone could be sent! Wish I would've seen this thread before I tossed it...

Try a reset or reflash the rom your using. Ice hasn't been released yet officially for the note so you must be on one of the leaks. Try reflashing

Problem is the phone automatically turns off in 10 secs every time even in download mode. I'll keep trying hopefully it will stick. Thanks for the tip though.

Wow that's a new one in me. I thought read someplace that certain roms react this way if the battery get to low and you have to go into cwm and do a cache wipe I think. Sorry that all I got .

If phone is turning off in download mode I doubt it is the ROM installed. Have you tried swapping batteries?
Also the issue seems to ONLY HAPPEN WHEN MOVING THE PHONE! SO I dont think Its a doftware issue. I tried changing battries same issue. It stayed on all NIGHT last night. Then when I go to touch it this morning it restarts.

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.
Edit: stuck power button maybe?

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.
Hey Ranger, notice you spend a lot of time in what I call the "trenches" in the Q&A and Gen sections providing assistance and guidance. Where I like to hang out and since I have the Note now...and still providing to the Infuse 4G community...
You seem to be a resourceful individual, sir.
Thanks Ranger!

Maybe one of your cables inside is loose and disconnects when you move it? I would either take your phone apart yourself or take it to a shop to get it checked.

Hey guys my screen went out yesterday. I took it to Verizon and I am getting refurbished rezound under the total protection plan.
I am rooted...unlocked....custom boot loader...and Rom...c
Do I need to try to relock and factory reset every thing?
Since the screen went out due to bad hardware...does me having custom Rom and software screw me when they put a new screen in the old phone?

Its hard to do without a screen. But if you use the rezound toolkit you can run the ruu and that will get you back to stock. the progress will show on the command prompt so you will know when its done. Like the post above said, better safe than sorry. Chances are they won't even check though.

Best to unroot if not and they see its rooted they can deny your claim and charge you full price. Not worth the risk

Didn't unroot. Didn't S-ON. That's just me, though. Mainly because I forgot. I had no problem with it from Asurion. Though, as others said, better safe than sorry. You never know.

Uhhh yeah, all Android phones come with a stock recovery. You can't do anything with it though aside from flash stock updates and wipe your data/cache.

What version software did it have loaded on it?
How much did asurion charge to replace your phone? Was it damaged or lost/stolen?
I'm debating whether I should buy a replacement lcd for mine since I've already s-off/rooted, customized, etc the phone...
or just go through asurion and do it all over again.

You have to know how to enter it!
Shut down the device.
Hold down Volume Down and hold down Power until you boot into the HBOOT menu.
Select the RECOVERY option using the Volume buttons.
Your phone will show the white HTC screen, then you'll see a black screen. It will take a while but it will say failed to mount sd four times. Wait until it turns into a red triangle with an exclamation point inside the triangle and from there, hold down the Volume Up and then press the Power button. You will see a small list, this is stock recovery

I paid today and it was $99. Mine was damaged.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Same deal. I had to replace mine back in January. $99 and got a brand new model as a replacement. I'm not sure how much it costs to replace the LCD, but if it's anywhere close to $100, I'd just replace the whole unit. you'll get a new product that is scratch and blemish free, the USB cover will last a few months, and you can root / unlock fresh.Make a nandroid backup now, and just restore to the new unit.
Please!! im going CRAZY trying to root my Gs3 i747!! My usb mini port got bad so i got it replaced and now it wont connect to computer! not even in download mode it doesnt even show the icon on notifications.

Is there a recovery already on your device? If there is and you have an sdcard try moving the root files to that card with a friends phone or something. If there isn't then you might be out of luck. Keep searching I'm sure there's something you can do.
