[Q] brick? modem n/a - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everybody.
Here is the story, a friend of mine tried to install a custom rom on its brand new galaxy s3 and messed all things up. He came to me and we installed back an original rom, but we got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
for what I understand, he isn't able to make the modem work, and the camera maybe. He told me he have done "something" to the efs partition, so I thought he messed up that. But esf files are all there and it seems the phone still have a valid imei (353*********151).
We were unable to recover it so we restored everything, resetted the counter, and bring it to assistance for warranty. They told us that there is a crack in the main board and they have to change it
They also said that there is a problem with the screen and it has to be changed. But it seems fine to us!
They also told us that those operations are not covered by warranty, and we have to pay 270 euros!!
Now we are looking for an alternative solution. It sound strange to me that is a hardware problem, because it happened when my friend started to play with the OS. Any suggestion? anything we can try before changing the mainboard?
any help will be appreciated!!

this is factory mode, use search

[Q] Is my Vibrant "Bricked"?

Hello, all.
Well .. I don´t know where to start, but I know that I am very sad. Last Saturday, I went first use ODIN to return the original version of Android on my gadget. Apparently, everything went according to the tutorials forum and XDA initially ODIN began updating.
I don´t know why, at the first stage of the upgrade, the Vibrant display stayed with color pink and stopped updating. I waited for about 30 minutes and nothing changed Vibrant and not restarted.
I decided to restart it manually and got the screen below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
From that moment on my computer (Windows 7) did not recognize the more Vibrant via USB. Likewise, I can not leave it in download mode (I've tried everything). It is as if the USB does not recognize anything...
I ask the more experienced here: You can still retrieve it? I'm in Brazil and apparently they will not support this case, even though I pay for it.
Please can you help me?
Sure.
I got the same problem with U. The same screen, can't enter the download mode. Is there anybody know how to solve this problem>? One more question, can T-mobile repair that?
Same Here
I got the same screen when I tried to flash back to stock from eugene373's froyo rom. Any help for us noobs would be really appreciated.
Any one have this problem pm me im sure I can walk u thru this

[Q] Lumia 800 freezes on Orange startup screen after failed update

Hi,
I'm really hoping somebody can help me.
I connected to Zune and went through the standard update instructions but the phone froze at "step 9 of 9" - I think this was during a reboot.
It just hung on the network provider screen (Orange UK).
Now, it won't go past that at all.
Orange support will provide a replacement but that won't help since I would like to retrieve my media.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
So, I did some digging and found this page:
"support.microsoft. com /kb/2484484#StuckAtSplashScreen"
Followed the instructions and got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I really hope it's not completely irretrievable!
Tried this too but to no avail...
"windowsdiscussions. com/restoration-error-c101002e-nokia-windows-phone-3445.html"
So, in the end, I managed to flash the phone using:
"youtube. com/watch?v=puTMCG_CiMk"
However, my problem now is, it's written over all of my old media files. I used to be able to undelete files from old PC hard drives however, not sure on how to do it with a phone - any ideas?
Thanks and appreciated!
Come on guys! What does it take to get some Noobie help?!
I've done a lot on my own but could do with some real technical know-how...
Unfortunately I can't help with this, however my sister has just emailed me to say her Lumia 800 ran flat and now won't boot past the Orange logo either.
She had updated to 7.8 a few days ago. Possibly connected...

[Q] Flashing Basics, who can tell?

HI,
After flashing a numerous HTC HD2 and Note N7000 i got now stuck with a Chinese Clone.
I flashed a lot of ROM on this phone and finally i got one working with playstore and working IMEI (which disappeared after the first flash)
I probably made a mistake to choos Format All in SP Flashtool and flashed the latest ROM that was working. All went fine and he started.
Then something strange happened. The whole touchscreen is working but on the wrong places, i can activate all menu's etc. But i have to click in the middle to get up and the back and menu touch are just on the screen not on the bottom.

Looking at flash tool it has a warning with manually format that calibration could be lost, is that what happend ?
I tried numerous other roms the install and work but not the touchscreen.
I found out which displaydriver i got (1-nt35590_hd720_dsi_cmd_truly) but no corresponding ROMS for my phone but ROM for other phone
Can somebody tell me if they should be mergable? Or how to flash the calibrationdata ? I inserted other nvram.img files with succes to get an IMEI. Is there a files i have to insert to get the correct LCD/Touchscreendriver?
I know that there are 2 preloader type that make my phone alive. After reading many hours i suspect that uboot.img could be the file, althugh i now come across ramdisk.img
(YES I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL ROM)
After four week straight in a row testing more that 50 ROM and not getting the original from seller the phone is send back to china. I looks like a hardware failure

Well I wish this was the case for you but it's not... If it was a PC it would be. But Android phones use like solid state chips called EMMC which stands for "Embedded Multi-Media Card" This chip is partitioned with the Phone's OS, Bootloader, Recovery, Internal Storage ((Where Your Documents Go)). And etc. So if you take that chip out and solder it to the other phone it would still be stuck in boot loop. You may need to consider Jtaging your device's flash memory if possible. Look up how to Jtag a hardbricked S3 and see what you can find. If that don't work than I don't know what to do to be honest. If this was helpful at all please hit the thanks button below. Wish you the best.
Here's a picture of the EMMC Chip for your device.

I had purchased my phone via my carrier (at&t). Since this happened within the 1st year of purchase (1 year warranty) they replaced it for free. They did however run lot of tests on the phone to make sure I didn't intentionally damage it. You can contact samsung in case you bought the phone online or other ways. I'm not sure how good samsung's service is in matters like this.
