Hello everyone! I've been checking a lot on internet about what is happening to my S3 and after trying so many things I seriously ran out of ideas of what to do. I hope someone can help as I am really desperate. So far it was working perfectly but after last software update, when I am going to put the pattern to unblock the phone and use it, its not responding. Some times, not many really, after few attempts its working again but after gets block again i am having the same problem.
I'm not blaming the update cos i couldn't find anyone with the same problem. The only thing I did is that I tried to unlock it using Odin and Voodoo Galaxy SIII Unlock but I couldn´t after doing all the proccess (root included) so I used SuperSU to unroot it and I did again the unlock with a network code that a friend gave me, which shouldn't be a problem as, let's say, its a cleanest way to do it. I don't know, as I said I'm totally out of ideas and lost of what to do but its a nightmare try to use your phone and the tactile screen is not responding. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!
No ideas at all or suggestions?
Well, after all i have fixed it without any of this "genius" around here. The firmware downloaded from this website it didn't work properly and it was giving me this issue on my phone. I've installed a stock firmware reseting the flash counter and now its working without that problem any more. Thank you for aaalll your help!
Firstly, I apologiise if my question has already been covered in another thread, but I didn't find it.
A few months ago, an OTA Samsung update to my English I9300 screwed up and after trying to reboot, it seemed my phone was bricked and wouldn't get past the Samsung logo on startup. I didn't realise at the time that my original USB cable was broken (or I may have been able to fix my S3 with Odin)....so, unhappily, knowing I'd lose all my installed data and apps, I had it repaired under warranty by Samsung, I'd already rooted my S3 long before that, but it still came back from the service centre as good as new, working, albeit missing all my valuable data
Ok, to cut to the chase, last night, about 5 months after having my phone repaired, I took that leap again of rooting it with Odin 3. Now, this is where I'm puzzled.....after starting Odin, and flashing it with "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar" in PDA mode, the box said 'RESET', not 'PASSED', as one would expect.Is there a reason for this? I have since installed a few system root apps such as Titanium Backup, BusyBox, etc and run Triangle Away successfully....all reporting that my S3 is once again rooted; but, what I still can't understand is Odin reporting the flash as 'Reset' instead of 'Passed'. Can one or more of you folk please try to shed some light on this for me.....Thanks in advance

Cheers for that, it's quite a relief it wasn't an error.....just a result I hadn't encountered previous.
hey guys thanks for any help. here is my problem.
i got an s3 i9300T to fix for sister in law. she apparently went in to telstra and got told that if it was her fault she would have ot pay for the repairs and she needed a phone while its away so she just payed of the contract. not sure what she exactly wants except for her data back.
upon taking a quick look it had a familiar screen. the computer triangle phone screen. im like sweet easy fix with an odin flash.
i installed a 4.0.4 version of telstra software(will look what one later) and it magically booted im like sweet. then encounter the sim lock. had to wait a day for the information so i left it over night on charge. (she wanted her contacts as well apparently but at the time i didn't know what she wanted really and i didnt just think to take out the sim.) ended up asking what she exeactly was wanting and phone was looking fine. tryed to update through kies and apparetly wasnt not able to be done on that android version. i left it another day and noticed that it was stuck on that boot logo/splash screen. i noticed i can still get in to recovery and download so i tryed to reflash same software. unsuccessful half way i tryed to use a 4.1.2 version that would not get pasts a tz** (replace starts with letters i cant remember atm) i suggested to just keep in on wanrrenty as odin hasnt counted anything yet. but they seam more for data recovery. should i try something iive tryed again or not tryed. or just try flashing recovery and trying to get the data off that way?
as i cant access stock recovery atm and its back to the computer triangle?
i know i dragged on sorry hope i explained correctly.
sorry fail to understand the post and your problem.
If its SDS you cannot recover data but you can fix with a new motherboard .
as far as i can tell i cant get the device too boot or accept new firmware, and it looks to be the sds problem but im not sure.. i think ill try and install a custom recovery and see if i cant mount it and get the data back.
So I am going put this in Three parts(so you would know everything that happened),get to "the point" if you are in a hurry:silly:
Background:
(So I got my -fairly-new Galaxy s2 i9100G,Suffering from the disappointment of not being able to upgrade android and driven by the encouragement of a friend i decided to install CyanogenMod.)
So i followed the instructions on CyanogenMod website...However i followed the I9100 instructions not the I9100 G's.
so yea i "soft" bricked my phone,After filling a bathtub of worry sweat/tears and with help from the internet i used ODIN and flashed it then followed the right tutorial and installed CyanogeMod
The point:
My phone is working...fairly fine,No major complaints,However whenever i boot it for a second the screen makes these weird colours(pic i found on the internet attached) then the cyanogemod logo appears and my phone is working,It just happens for an instant every time i boot it.
The question-s:
1.Why is this happening?
2.how is this fixed?
3.whats the danger in short/long run would i face if i didn't fix it?
please take your time to answer the questions(especially no. 3) if you know the answer,I am patiently waiting for it ,Thanks
(my first experience rooting my phone have left my emotionally scarred but if it must be done,I will...probably do it)
Anyone?
*wind blowing sound* I do need a answer,if you don't know,maybe mention someone who might do? XD thanks
Hey!
So I have been using an android phone from 3 years now and I have been stuck in an huge problem! And I need your help in order to solve this problem. Here is the problem so basically I have a Freetel nico (Japanese brand) which is about 3 to 4 years now running on top of stock kitkat rom or in other words the same rom when I unboxed it. After few months my screen cracked on the bottom near the capacitive touch keys. After the crack the home buttom stopped working! I was all okay with that and the next day my notification panel started glitching and stopped showing any notifications which was really annoying. Now I knew that there some serious problem, so I taught of resetting the phone so I went in the setting and tried factory reset. After few minutes it didn't go to system recovery but the phone just restarted itself. I tried it once again and got the same problem, next step I had was to hard reset it by going into the recovery. When I hold the button and let go it didn't take me to the recovery this time also. So in conclusion I came to know that there was no recovery inside the phone (I did erase the phone through recover about 2 times before this incident everything went well during that time). Moving on I rooted the phone and installed SuperSU and other softwares that could install recovery mode to the phone. I got the same result this time also, I also tried installing a different rom through the stock system update app same result.... After a year of all this work I taught it would be best just giving it to the company service center but I came to know that the company had no longer selling this device and there is no service available .
After all of that tries above I still continued to solve this problem I tried ADB resetting it through pc no luck here also! So if you guys could recommend me some apps or softwares I could try in order to reset my phone please do let me know in the comments. Or you could also ask any scripts that you want to know from the phone which could solve the problem I can do that also!
Thank you
