[Q] Can't start my Phone - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Recently I've had the problem with /0 folders in my phone memory. Basicly my phone diplicated itself a lot. I decided to clean things up. (Ofc i copied all and made a complete back-up onto my computer).
Once i cleaned it up i couldn't transfer files from my computer onto the phone with USB. Basicly i couldn't download a new ROM and put in my phone.
I did a factory reset etc and all those godies, nothing unusuall, but now, my phone wont start. It's stuck at the first boot screen.
CWM works fine, no problems on that. I tried to reroot my phone, didn't get any error but the problem is still there. I believe i might have bricked my phone.
Any ideas on how to fix it, sort fo desperate atm.

unless something in windows updated and is now causing the issue??

Don't think so, The problem came after i cleaned up my phone memory, I'm guessing a file that got deleted couldn't restore even after i went back to my backup.

You can always push a file using adb if it recognises the phone

All problems solved. After i manage to install another ROM (Was a bit complicated at start for some reason) All other problems fixed.
Thank you both for all the help <3

[Q] Can anyone help me?

I was running axura 2.2.5.7 and decided to give darky's 8.0 a try. I performed a back up then flashed the new rom (Darky's). Now I have NO SERVICE (no call text or data) and when i went to flash back to axura, my backup was no longer there. I also cannot get my computer to recognize my phone to flash to another rom. I'm currently downloading kies. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Have you tried download mode?
Search the forum on how and what if you couldn't get into download mode. Then odin back to stock. Also, Darky is for I9000, NOT Vibrant. Please read before flashing anything. And if you want to mess around, read up about the worst scenario and the solutions FIRST.

Make sure ur phone is in mass storage mode or it wont recognize it and make sure you have the samsung usb drivers installed. I read in another thread that darkys rom wont work on our vibrants. If you can get the computer recognize ur sd card then transfer axura to it and then flash again. Remember to disables lag fixes.

You can also remove the sdcard, put it in the adapter and plug it into a reader that's attached to your pc...

Possibly try getting your device into download mode and start over from true stock via Odin and make sure to repartition.

If you have not flashed any roms or kernels just do a factory reset. If you have flashed then flash back to stock then do factory reset

My phone was rooted using zedomax's kernel, and is now running siyah. I had to reformat both my sd card and my internal storage so my backups are gone, and I'm unable to connect it to my computer to change kernels or anything of the sort. Every time I try to unroot using odin it refuses to work, and I'm just completely at a loss. I want to delete everything on my phone including the rom and basically reset everything on the phone. Is there any way at all that I can do that or am I stuck with a rooted phone that won't let me even connect it to the computer? I'm extremely frustrated right now, and just want my phone fixed.
EDIT: New update, I am unable to mount my SD card.
A search would have lead you to the 'return to stock' thread.

I would say try mobile Odin and use dropbox to get the stock files on your device. I would be sure to read very carefully first. Maybe even try a different USB cable or a different computer. Also make sure your PC has the kies drivers installed. When you use Odin make sure Odin is running before you connect your phone to put it in download mode. Good luck

Its pretty easy, install the dropbox app on your computer and phone. You put the stock files in your dropbox sync folder on your PC and upload them. Then download them from your mobile app

thanks a lot man. I'm incredibly frustrated right now and your advice seems useful.
This is probably a really dumb question, but what files do I need?
If your phone charges I doubt its a USB port issue and more likely a driver on your CPU or your missing a step in the return to stock thread.

OK. With the one click app open and your phone disconnected and turned off you need to hold down the volume down button and connect the micro USB. Then when the warning screen comes on press volume up.When you do that does a box on Odin turn yellow and say something like com6?

Every rom causes problems, freezes......

Hi there,
i tried a lot of word combinations to get a thread with my specific problem but i didnt manage it to find one.
So here is the deal:
i have german galaxy s 2 (9100, bought in september 2011) and i flashed it last year with darkyrom HD something gingerbread-style.
so it was rooted and all that stuff.
it worked pretty fast and it was stable and it looked sleak.
Last year in November i put Ressurrection remix 3.x (dont know which version of it) on my phone.
It had a lot of crashes, freezes and while playing ingress it always drained around 20% of the battery within 10-20minutes.
So i stopped it. I put the last version of it 3.1.3. of it onto my phone with a full wipe, cache partition, factory reset onto my phones and the problems went keep going.
As an example:
-I couldnt access options where i can select ringtones or to see what is on the sd. it crashed and went back to the "main screen".
-Yesterday i tried around 15 roms, and nearly everything except militant rom keep crashing while iam installing them.
-Sometimes it crashes already while iam installing the rom, sometimes its after a couple of hours, that i cant access the rom any more.
-The newest problem is, that sometimes the power button doesnt respond, when i push it (in jelly bam)
Please explain, what iam missing or is my phone just broke?
It never fell down, no water or anything freaking other things.
I hope you can help me.
should i send it back or what is wrong?

just hang around with the stupid official one?
If you did everything from Factory reset to changing kernel, and everything is still bad like that. I think that there's something with your phone's hardware.

so everytime, when i want to switch of the screen, i have to wait, or take of the battery. and switching on is only possible with the home button.
whats wrong?
Given you have the same problems on stock, hardware problem. Back to stock, reset counter, send it in for warranty service (if you have warranty), if not, take it to local mobile repair shops.
reseting the counter... with stock? how to do that? i thought this is only possible with root? and i thought, as soon as i root, there is something already on the counter?

You have two option. Either flash a custom kernel (siyah, for example), then reset the counter using triangle away app. Then flash a stock firmware using odin. This wont increase the counter.
Or, if you have a USB jig, flash an older bootloader (have to careful here), then simply plug in the jig.

I'd advice you to read about flashing with odin and watch a couple of videos on youtube before you put yourself up to it or else you're gonna have a bad flash, and that means trouble.

Possible corrupt CWM backup on android

Hi
a couple of weeks ago I tried to flash a rom to my Samsung S GT i9000 Android 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD.XXJW4, I had root and went into cwm recovery and made a backup first. This is a bit hazy now as it was a while ago and I have tried so many things since then, but I think something must have happened during the back up??. Bottom line is the ROM didn't work and I had to reinstalled the back up (and have done so many times).
I have tried all different Roms from ice cream to CM but nothing works.
My problem is that every time I do a recovery of the backup it really causes problem with the phone.
If I try and install any programme from playstore or market (both via the phone or pc) it immediately closes when I try and open it up saying it unexpectedly closed. Shut down the phone and restart it - yep the app has now gone from the phone. Same thing happens with APKs.
I have tried uninstalling the back up via windows explorer, ADB, clockwordmod recovery a file manager on my phone. Doesn't matter what I do it is always there when I start the phone back up. If I uninstall any apps through settings / applications / manage applications, turn off the phone then back on and they are back.
I have tried to clear it by installing stock roms but the back up and all its files and apps etc are still there. I have tried factory formatting the phone via settings/ privacy, I have tried using the numbers and hashes on the keypad, I have carried out full wipes in recovery and the dalvik cache etc.
I have made further backups but they are deleted from the phone just like the apps.
If I take a photo or video and close my phone down they are deleted.
If I access Facebook and update the news feed to the current date, when I restart my phone it is back to the last thing I looked at prior to my backup.
I think the problem is that the phone is using the backup some how and this is stopping me from deleting it. Something like trying to uninstall a system file on a computer when it is running.
I think I have watched just about every video ever created on this topic and every thread on the internet to no avail.
Bottom line is the phone works to an extent. I can phone, text, use the internet etc but cannot install or delete any apps.
I would be really grateful if anyone out there has any ideas that I could try

So in Odin/heimdall you flashed all partitions and pit? And the phone still didn't return to stock? Then the issues you're having sounds suspiciously like hardware, but I can't think of a hardware issue that could cause this.
Are there various stock versions Sammy put out? As in can you try an older/newer one?

Not really, if pit is checked then all partitions should get formatted, but it wouldn't hurt to do so.

That's to all for your replies. I am in Turkey at present on holiday but I am trying your suggestions, I did flash a pit with the repartition box ticked but still no joy.

[q] not booting in my trend plus

Hi developers
I bought a new SD card, 32 gb for my samsung galaxy trend plus. A toshiba one. It was fine untill i saw that my screen was on, but black. Couldnt do anything. Rebooted and when booted back it was fine. But after some time it got black again. Rebooting wouldnt change anything. I see the samsung logo but i cant see my bootanimation. It is just a black screen. I removed the SD and re-tried, i thought that may be the issue. But nothing. I got to recovery and realised its all good. 100% functional. In fact i could mount my SD and do pretty much anything. My phone is rooted. What to do?
I would prefer not to format because I have very valuable pictures and music in my internal and apps in my SD aswell. Thanks in advance.
I am using linux so if any programs should be downloaded please indicate me the linux ones. Thanks so much and sorry if im being greedy or what

You cant flash Stock rom with SD. If rooted u can get a custom ROM in sd and flash it in recovery. If not rooted consider going to sammobile.com and getting the stock rom for your phone and flash it via odin! That will do the trick

You cant flash Stock rom with SD. If rooted u can get a custom ROM in sd and flash it in recovery. If not rooted consider going to sammobile.com and getting the stock rom for your phone and flash it via odin! That will do the trick

Try to boot into download mode.
Then, connect your phone to your pc and open Odin 3.0.7 (firmware version!)
It should recognize the device and you'll see something will be added at id:com.
In the pda box, add your stock rom which you downloaded and flash it!
That should fix it.
If not, your device is hard-bricked and can't be fixed.
Don't forget to press the thanks button if I helped you!
