Dear users,
I sat my Galaxy S3 GT-l9300 up with Team Win Recovery Project using Odin.Later on, I tried to root my new default system that I installed after a complete and successful re-install to the latest Android, using Odin. (Of course I donated!)
The root seemed to fail however - and when I loaded it up I would simply get a black screen. I forgot to make a proper backup before going ahead with the operation and so there I was, with no backups, an OS that wouldnt boot properly, where the only thing sort of useful I could and still can do -- is boot into TWRC.
So whats the problem?
The only thing that will help me at this point is if I can get ahold of a TWRC default fresh OS install backup that I can restore from my external SD card using TWRC. I need someone with an identical phone to make that backup for me and send me.
I will happily donate for the trouble.
So here I am asking..
Would anyone here please help me with this and send me a TWRC default backup that I can restore? What they would need to do is simply make a backup of their phone using Team Win Recovery Project (TWRC) -- zip or rar the backup and send it to me somehow.
I understand that some people have a lot of personal information on their phone and not want to send a backup of their phone, so I am hoping that someone out there maybe has a backup of a brand new unconfigured system that I could use.
It seems to be the only way for me to be able to get back into my phone and start doing everything over again with Odin (this time making religious use of the backup solutions before doing anything at all.)
Thanks.
Correct me if I am wrong but TWRC is a simple recovery correct? If so why do you not simple download a stock rom and flash it?

Because I cant boot up the system, thereby Odin cant find the device.
I try and go into Download mode and it just says "Odin" mode, and Odin cant find the device.
I try sideload mode in TWRC and Odin can find the device but it wont let me install anything, or even copy anything (so I need to purchase an ext card reader to copy over what I need.)
From what I can gather, the only thing left to do is count on mere luck and hope that someone out there has (or can make) a TWRC backup, export it and share it with me so that I can put it on my phone, restore the phone using the backup file and hopefully get a proper boot up and running once more.
From there I could get a proper USB connection, Odin would find the phone device and I would be able to start over again - by flashing the device, and try to root the phone once more. This time; with proper backups ready at all times.

As I understand, you can get into your recovery (TWRC), hence you could try to flash a stock rom via flash zip option (flashable stock roms can be found in the General section). This way you do not need Odin at all.

I tried flashing a rom that I downloaded through Odin -- which failed.
Sounds good, though.
Do you have a direct link to the rom you would recommend I use? :highfive:

Ok so i downloaded rom manager and selected the top option flash clockworkmod recovery and picked my phone ( im already rooted by using the one step click root) and then i picked install rom from SD card and picked my room (which is Bi-winning v3) and my phone turned off and rebooted and went into the samsung recovery screen i tried to reinstall packages but gave me a error , i even tried the "all clockworkmod" recoveries and no luck same thing happens boots me up to the samsung recovery.
Does any one know what am doing wrong or what i can do to fix this problem?? thanks in advance and im still on my stock android os have't changed anything.
First, you need to start with a clean SD card. Then, open ROM Manager, flash cwr etc. etc. When it is finished downloading, power off the phone and reboot into recovery. From there (this is where the clean SD card is needed) then hit "reinstall packages, then hit reboot. This should bring up the iconic green text. reply if there are any problems.

hmm so do i need to clean my sd before i flash cwr or do i do it when i reboot my system?? from the android recovery screen??
Is not very clear to me. Did you flash your phone previously? have you done ODIN, kies, etc? have you tried this?

Just download that update.zip he referenced (that I put there), and flash it.. instead of using Rom Manager.
it will root and install CWR for you.

i highly suggest you learn how to use ODIN in the Vibrant Bible. If you're doing anything that has to do with rooting and flashing your phone, be sure you know how to revert back to stock. You WILL NEED TO at some point or another or find out what if feels like to own a brick.

Hi,
I was searching the whole Forum for a working Link to Download a Stock Image for the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 EU(German).
It would be great if someone knows where to Download or can provide it on a Hoster.
Big Thanks

This is the EU firmware, verison 3_420 that I originally downloaded from Viewsonic's Euro website as linked in the post - it is in *.nb0 format.
I re-checked VS's website in different parts of the world and they all appeared to be offline or not accessible, with no reasons given.
Placed this in dropbox - kindly let me know if you can access & retrieve it, or if you run into problems. Some of my cloud storage are gone as I am uploaded it to the multiload server and it's ...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/ViewPad 7 Firmware v3_42_uk.zip
Below is the SUTL3 installation utility that you will need to flash it, please read & follow instructions - and, as always - backup first.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/SUTL3_v1.7.9.zip
Please proceed at your own risk as I am and will not be responsible if you (soft) brick your device - the files as uploaded are unaltered as it was originally saved or downloaded. Good Luck !
Thanks for your help...
Now i have SUTL and the Rom...
When trying to flash, it boots in the recovery but then aborts...
and says that the file couldn´t be sent to the device...
do i need an Micro-SD-Card(tried without) inserted to flash the Stock rom?
or do i need the stock Recovery(i have CWM installed)?
Greets and Thanks

Whether it's flashing the stock/factory rom or cwm, you need to have the mSD card in the slot, especially custom ROM or else it will not install. Try it again.
The stock recovery will format & if I remember correctly (it will unroot the device) - need to root it again & reinstall CWM, so please make sure you have the necessary files since lots of us "had" cloud files disappeared due to the megaupload & related issues recently.
Check & uninstall, then reinstall any usb drivers - I believe it will load from the device onto the computer. While still in CWM recovery, connect via USB cable and if you can read the mSD card, then it should be ready to re-flash the factory ROM.

Hi everyone,
An acquaintance has brought his gf's i9300 to me because he needs help. Him and his gf went on a trip somewhere. She took a bunch of photos. She stored them on the internal storage rather than the SD card. At some point, she tried to apply an OTA update and now it's stuck at the Samsung logo. I believe the update got corrupted or maybe she let the phone die while it was applying... Something obviously went wrong. He's hoping I can get it to boot without losing the pictures.
I know I can flash an Odin image but I'm pretty sure that will wipe what they want. There is a thread here on XDA that says some Odin images won't erase data, but the files are out of date (they are ICS).
I did go in to recovery and try to apply the update.zip from cache but it failed.
Can anyone just provide me with the update.zip of the most current OTA for the Hong Kong version of the i9300?
One other thing to note, when I go in to recovery it says it has CSC XFE. According to another XDA thread, that's supposed to be the region code for South Africa.
Any help is appreciated.
Pretty sure all roms don't wipe data on sammobile.com but further confirmation needed.
Anyway, sammobile.com is where you need to be
Not sure if you can use mskip's unified toolbox to pull the data off the /sdcard

Sam Mobile does not have the Hong Kong ROM.
The unified toolbox requires the phone to be booted to Android.
I did download the ZSDLL1 HK based firmware that can be flashed in Odin, but I'm not going to flash it unless I know for a fact it won't erase their pictures. It would be awesome if I could just download the update.zip, throw it on an SD card, and apply it from there.
Doing a lot of searching online but there is so much conflicting information...

If you've got access to Recovery you can try to do a nandroid backup before trying anything else, then I think you may be able to get the pictures from the data folder in the nandroid.
The phone is stock, non root. Everything is stock. It's his gf's phone. Are the S3s sold in Hong Kong bootloader unlocked from the factory? If so, I might just unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery like twrp, mount the internal storage as a drive, and copy the files over. Though I think I'll run in to issues trying to mount to the PC due to lack of USB mass storage support...
There are some data recovery apps on play store, and they are fairly effective, so even if the phone gets wiped you should be able to recover most pictures......just remember to try data recovery app before you start filling up your internal sd as it will only recover deleted data that hasn't been overwritten
There's no way you can apply an update.zip now. The process failed, breaking the os. Its all or nothing I'm afraid.

Also if you do flash a custom recovery, you can use the unified toolkit to perform an adb pull (option 11) whilst connected in recovery mode if all else fails.
I just cant see how you'll get back to HK stock
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Try this:
Download the .tar version of a custom recovery (I recommend PhilZ's CWM recovery). Flash it via Odin. This won't touch the data partition.
Now you can try and see whether you can connect the phone to the computer, mount the internal sdcard, and transfer out the data required.
If that doesn't work:
Using the custom recovery, try flashing the update.zip again. Else, download a stock firmware based custom ROM (maybe something on the smaller side, such as Wanam's de-bloated/light custom ROMs), put it into your external SD Card, and flash it using the recovery. Wipe the cache and dalvik cache, and reboot your phone.
Now, you can take the pictures out, onto your computer.
To flash back to a completely stock setup: first use Triangle Away by Chainfire to reset the binary counter, then get into download mode and Odin flash your region's firmware to get back to stock.
All the best man!

Yeah that looks like the best course of action. All that matters is trying to get the pics. I think after that they don't care if I reflash via Odin. Of course, if it's impossible I'm just going to tell them and offer to restore stock firmware which I've already downloaded.

These sound like a great idea. I'm already familiar with recoveries, I have Odin, I have the triangle away apk already (although it requires root).... I mean I myself have a USA variant of the S3. I'm pretty sure mounting in recovery is the only chance.
My only worry is that I seem to remember not being able to do this with my Verizon variant for some reason...
Also, if you can help me find the update.zip that would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
If you specifically use Philz recovery (link in my signature) that @Erahgon suggested, if you go into "Mounts and storage" you can use "mount /data".
From here, (assuming you're set up to use adb) you can use the following commands in windows cmd or Linux terminal:
Code:
adb pull /data/media/DCIM c:\users\myusername\Desktop
The "Mount /sdcard" options in recovery wont help.
OR, if you have an external SD card, you can follow the Instructions for Philz recovery to put aroma filemanager on the sdcard. This allows you to use a file manager from inside Philz recovery. You action this (once you have the zip in the correct place on external sdcard) Philz Settings > Aroma File manager.
Within there, you'll be able to copy the DCIM folder to external SD easily.

Wow thanks for this idea. But I went ahead and took care of it in a more roundabout way, which I'll detail for a future searcher.
I flashed Philz recovery. Then I flashed a ROM that was basically stock rooted. Then I gave the phone back. I didn't want to keep their phone too long. I figured that she got her data and hopefully maybe the inconvenience of having to restore apps along with this incident would teach her to store pics on an external from now on. The ROM also came with a 50 GB dropbox bonus, so I told them to sign up for that and start using it.
I remembered through research that custom recoveries will leave data/media alone (or internal sd) while still erasing all user apps when doing factory reset. And installing custom ROMs also leaves that alone. It took me numerous flashes, but I already had triangle away so I used that. The counter is unfortunately stuck at 1, but I asked first if they planned on keeping the phone or getting warranty service. They planned on keeping it, so I just told them if they ever needed to warranty it or something to just bring it back to me.
I also made sure to set SuperSU to deny root by default (except triangle away)... There was no way I was going to leave that power unchecked in her hands.
Thank you again for the help, everyone. When I get a chance I'll report my own thread to get it locked.
If any future searcher finds this and has questions, PM me.
Yup new bootloaders increment flash counter back to 1 every boot.
Have to prevent triangle away from booting the device once its done the deed. Them flash stock from Odin

Hi..first i would do is flash the original rom for your phone and your region with odin, unless you had that OTA update that installs knox and then going back will not work, if you are on the original rom yet just reflash it, and then check this post here and get one of the recoveries from @Silesh.Nair signature in his post as links are in my post already for that and get the tar file of the recovery and flash it with odin and once the recovery is done flashing you must reboot into the recovery right away again otherwise it will install the stock recovery again..this only has to be once and then it will go into the custom recovery after that when you boot up your phone.
Then put UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip onto your sdcard or external sdcard if you have one installed and flash it with the recovery and that will give you SuperUser status then and your phone will then be rooted as it works good doing it this way, by flashing the original rom or even a custom rom you should not lose your pics as that is usually left alone when doing this or can be synced with your google account if you did it this way.
This is what i would try first and see how it turns out especially when you flash the original rom..boot it up and see if you got your stuff back..unless the pics got deleted some how, use odin also to flash the original rom..just unpack it from it's zip file first and use the tar file inside.
Also do not wipe your internal sdcard as if your pics are on there it will delete then, you can do factory reset and the other stuff...let me know how you make out.
Hi guys, I have a Samsung A50 of my dad which he recently bought from a store. He works on a financial company and while being there he used
this phone to keep his company data which in some cases are also costumer data which he doesn't afford to lose. On an evening night m mischievous little cousin got his phone
and on the try to open the phone to find games he entered a pattern wrong multiple times which made to lock the phone. I have been searching for things to get this phone unlocked but I don't seem
to find any successful methods.
I get to see a `Lockscreen_FIXER.zip` (from 2014, 8 years ago) but I seem to not be able to flash it. I can successfully boot into recovery mode but can not flash it for some reason, I also put the `.zip` file to the `sd card` or tried `adb` with `adb solidate Lockscreen_FIXER.zip` but either that didn't work out as I clicked "apply update with adb" on recovery mode.
Is there any method to bypass this lockscreen only for once at last?! Thanks so much!!
Hey
Im not an expert i want to point out first
But i anyway want to give my opinion in hopes i can help a little bit
First: this isn't the correct place to post troubles like so, you have a safer bet on posting this on "Question & answers"
Second: If its only data and not apps
You can try properly flashing Twrp because unless the file is no longer supported to get past Android 11 lockscreen
Then its the Twrp you installed
Then connect your phone to your pc
If you have the correct drivers you should be able to see your files in file explorer then copy and paste everything important to your desktop
Then in Twrp just Factory reset so you can use your phone once again
If you cant afford to lose your apps as well
Then you're out of luck on that one buddy

Hello @Nashiro10, thanks for your reply. Okay I will ask in the proper place next time.
I see, at this point I care much more about data inside the phone rather than apps. I have a question when it comes to flash ".zip" files. How do I do it? In my recovery mode I got only "Apply Update with adb and sd card" and these two options needs an OTAPACKAGE as an update. Or I can do the flash using Odin while phone is in the "downloading mode"?
Thank you for your time!

If you want to flash Zip files then you have to do it through Twrp (Twrp being a custom recovery which you can find on this section) since its easier and you have a higher chance that if something goes wrong with the install you'll have an error code
And It know hows to handle more custom style of Files so its probably the stock recovery you're using doesn't know how yo work with the zip file you're giving it
And as far as im aware Odin only works to install system important files (STOCK SYSTEM, recoveries, Data, internal data, etc)
And also used to flash Twrp via Odin
BUT!
What i forgot to ask is that if you have OEM unlock activated in developer settings?
If you dont then you're out of choices because you wont be able to flash your zip file and you wont be able to flash twrp
Which leaves you to restoring your phone with Odin
Dont know if you can access your phone's data through the stock recovery
But if you can then do what i said in the first post then factory reset the phone through recovery

No, I don't have OEM unlocked because my dad populated the phone with data in a short time and to do the OEM unlocking you have to factory reset the phone and OEM Unlock. Idk either if I can recover data using adb because I cannot connect the phone with adb(unless I select "apply update using adb").
It seems I don't have so much choices and if I'm forced to do the factory reset then I will do it...
I don't know how some phone service stations can unlock the phone... what do they do lol magic? Because I had another phone which couldn't boot and they fixed it.
