Hello All,
I had Jellybam 10.2 and had trouble moving to 10.3 update. So....
I tried to flash a newer version of Philz CWM 5.10.9. it failed and threw the screen on the phone to Phone -> Yellow Triangle -> Monitor, followed by: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I tried the Vol UP & Vol Down and Power button to get in to ODIN mode download mode - just futile - could not get it.
I installed the Kies and the USB Driver - the phone is recognized as a Samsung Mobile CDC Composite device and Samsung Mobile USB Modem but it shows as Unspecified - Gadget Serial in devices and Printers in windows 7. Kies is unable to connect to the phone.
Have I bricked the phone? Is it time to move on and get myself a new phone? Any assistance would help.
Please advise. Thanks
Brenda:crying:
No. You should be able to recover the phone easily.
You can find the various resources you will need in the Download Repository.
Make sure you have the correct usb driver installed on your windows computer. Look in the add/remove programs dialog for Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones. This should be present because you installed Kies, but if not you should install it first.
Download a stock firmware. I would suggest the latest version, UCMD8. You will need the full version.
Download a version of Odin3, preferably v1.85, if you don't already have it on your pc. Open oden on the desktop.
With the phone off, connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. Now hold down all three buttons vol-, vol+ & pwr. When the first screen appears, hit vol+ and you will be in download mode.
Now put the firmware tar file in the PDA slot of Odin. Start. Done.
Let us know if you have any questions.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 from T-Mobile and I tried rooting the phone using the procedure below obtained form an external link as I was running Android 4.3:
**********************************************************************************
Requirements:
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 with USB data cable
CF-Root zip package (Download HERE)
Also download Odin3 v3.09 Flashing Utility
Make sure that you’ve installed USB drivers on your PC.
Go to Phone Settings>Developers Options and Enable USB debugging.
Before you start rooting your phone, make sure that you’ve got good enough battery charge.
Last but not the least, Proceed at your own risk.
How to Root T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999) on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Firmware
1. First of all, extract the CF-Auto-Root-d2tmo-d2tmo-sght999.zip and Odin v3.09 files to a new folder on your desktop.
2. Now from the extracted folder run Odin3-v3.o9 application on your PC.
3. Next Reboot your T-Mobile Galaxy S3 into Download Mode:
Turn Off Galaxy S3.
Press and Hold down the Volume Down+Home+Power buttons at the same time till you see a warning on your screen.
Further hit the Volume Up button to continue.
4. While in download mode connect your GS3 to PC via the USB data cable. Just make sure that Odin3 detects your device.
5. Also make sure that only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Times options are checked and rest leave the default Odin settings.
6. Finally click the PDA button and from the extracted folder select the CF-Rooted kernel file and hit the START to flash the kernel.
7. Wait for Odin3, When completed, Odin will notify you via the PASS!! message in Odin and at this stage your phone will automatically reboots.
**********************************************************************************
I used Odin3 v3.09 and got a "Pass" message at the end and the phone rebooted as stated in the instructions.
However, it seems that my phone starts up but doesn't load completely. I have device encryption on my phone (as required by work to access work e-mails) and have to enter a password before I can get to my lock screen and though I can enter my password to get past the first lever of encryption, it doesn't load past the Android screen. The snapshots below show both the password entry screen and the android screen on which my phone freezes and doesn't load past.
My question is, is the website above lacking in some directions and did I mess anything up? I'm assuming the phone is not bricked as it still is able to turn on and I'm able to still enter passwords. Is the only way to correct this through a hard factory reset perhaps?
Any assistance on getting the phone up and running would be appreciated!
