Hi guys,
I am selling my S3 and looked online at the best way to securely wipe my data from my device. So I encrypted as instructed then used an called IShredder Pro to do a further clean.
I am now unable to decrypt the phone and when I restart the code is not accepted.
Restart takes me to recovery and I cannot factory reset, wipe or even reinstall the custom rom on it.
Can anyone help??
Thanks in advance..

I noticed that dialing a few contacts gives these type of errors. Can you give any solution for this without being reset. If flashing or reset is compulsory then how to backup and reinstall stock rom. Please tell me the steps involved. And one more, where can i get the stock rom?

Hi
I've unrooted my phone because I'm missing SkyGo and also couldn't get updates easily via Kies. Titanium Backup won't even show as an icon, SuperSU gives an error when starting and ROM Toolbox says root access is required. All of this would confirm to me that my phone is not rooted and in addition the phone's status is 'normal'.
So why does SkyGo still tell me my phone is rooted and it won't support rooted devices?
Also, when I connect to KIES to look for updates, why does it tell me my firmware is not supported?
I downloaded stock 4.1.2 ROM from SAMOBILE and the build number is JZO54K.I9300XXEMA1. Baseband version is I9300XXELLA.
Do I need to do anything else?
Thanks, Paul

Thanks for such a speedy response. Being a bit of a novice at all of this, will I lose any data or settings if I factory reset? Do I do this by holding down vol up, home and power or through "Back up and reset" in settings?
Thanks, Paul
you will lose all the apps and data

One the Sky Go post .
Two contact Sky Go developer or forum Sky .

A factory reset after flashing stock firmware is the only thing (if I understand correctly ) you can do.

Regarding other threads, I have searched for quite a long time looking for the information on Sky Go and Kies that I need but haven't found solutions. I might be looking in the wrong places, but no luck yet.

You'll lose data but a factory reset is your only option.

What about Skys own forum ???
jje
I suspect Sky won't help you Unfortunately.
The reason they do not allow access from rooted phones is from a security point of view. .
It is much easier on a rooted phone to find ways of recording from the app etc and sky obviously won't allow that .
So I guess your decision comes down to what is more important to you. ..
The ability to watch Sky Go?
Or the functionality and features of a rooted phone.
I personally chose the latter. ..
There are plenty of ways to skin a fish

Hey there. I wanted to update omega mb5 version to new mc3 version. Unfortunately i downloaded the mb3 (4.2.1)version and was dumb enough not to notice it until it was flashed -.-
So the problem now is, i dont want to factory wipe the phone, but flashing the correct mc3 version resulted in an infinite loop (the omega android just walks forever)
How can i flash a new rom without losing my data now?
Thanks guys!

YOu could try just flashing it by coping the rom to an sd card but to be honest your gonna end up full wiping for it to boot properly.

So nothing i can do really.....damn
try wiping /system before flashing
try to wipe cache and dalvic cache.
and always do titanium back ups before flashing.
also, you can make a backup and then wipe, reflash, and restore just the data
Thanks for the help so far

tried that right now, unfortunately doesn't help either.
Since i want to downgrade form a 4.2.1 to 4.1 version, is it neccessary do to something about the "0" folder?
And if i should just move that content to the root: how can i do that, since all file managers(with root privileges) tell me it is not possible.
It cant be that hard to downgrade from 4.2 without losing data
EDIT: I'll try if reflashing 4.2 will at least boot so i can use my phone....if it works i'll just do a titanium backup. Hopes-up-mode activated!

Why can you not make a Nandroid backup ???
Downgrade preference is for a full wipe .

Hey,
I have a Galaxy Note I717M under bell, running complete stock, and recently, it just decided it doesn't want to turn on anymore.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode, but when I try to boot into system I get stuck at the samsung logo.
Is my phone soft bricked? Am I able to flash a new rom and move on? If so, am I able to recover all my data that's currently on the phone?
Thanks in advance!

In recovery mode do a factory reset first see if this solves the problem.
yes you can still flash ROMs.
if not flash stock ROM or custom ROM.
press thanks if I helped you.

Looks good, but judging by the end of that post, the phone needs to be working because it'll ask me for a password on the device at some point?

I guess its for encryption of the data, try once and see it may work
As you are stock on everything
its the only way out.
try to do these steps in fastboot mode it won't be any problem most probably.
I'm trying to dump some files so i can try and make a custom ROM how ever i was told that i should restore so that there are not any junk files in my system folder. how ever when i try to restore using the settings app i get stuck in a infinite boot screen. im unrooted and am using the stock recovery i have been able to get my device working again by flashing twrp and restoring an nandroid how ever i want a fresh EMUI install that i can use to dump the ROM. Thanks in advance.
