Hello all,
Just a off the wall question I was wondering if anyone knew the answer too.
I have currently the original 7 inch galaxy tab and using with a regular phone sim card with t-mobile. I just switch the sim from my phone when I need data on the tab.
Normally when I did this at first I got a redirect saying that I need to be on a special plan. Untill I found some instructions here that had me backup my EFS directory after rooting in then deleting that folder and rebooting. Was able to successfully use it like that for quite some time now.
Is that something possible with the new 10.1 tabs?
It's still WIP, So far there has been some progress, but that has been on halt with hopes that ICS will enable this. Since only the Phone modules/files are needed, as the tablet itself has a modem.
Hello,
Last week my Galaxy SIII accidentally fell in the toilet
Since then he recovers pretty much all of his fonctions, the only problem I have is when it comes to recharge it.
When I plug the charger in when the cellphone is turn on, nothing happen. The cellphone doesn't seems to recognize that the charger is plug in. Then if I restart it and let the charger plug in at the same time, when it restarted the charger seems to be recognize and I'm able to recharge it.
Do you think I need to change the usb port?or maybe it's just a matter of software?
Do you think that a factory reset will do the trick?
I'm open to any suggestion, I only have this cellphone for a month and a half and can not afford another one right now, especially if I have to pay full price.
Thanks in advance for your help.
First factory reset second flash a stock rom third its hardware .

Unless your device somehow hit thw toilet bowel a dew hundred times+ it's hardware related especially seeing as it feel in water & water is conductive
If you're really up for a gruesome challenge then you can order a new part and FIX IT YOURSELF: http://rounded.com/samsung-i9300-ga...tor-charging-connector-spare-part-microc.html
I RECOMMEND getting it replaced somehow though

Thank you for your answers.
I will probably give a shot to the factory reset, but I'm just concerned of what it's going to do to my phone?does it erase everything?I will have to reinstalle all the apps?reenter my contacts?
After watching the video about reparing the cellphone by yourself, I think I'm going to let that to someone who know what he is doing because it seems very tricky.
It erases EVERYTHING however if you sync your samsung & google account it should restore all your apps but not your pictures etc, I advise just making a backup with Samsung Kies (don't backup misc. If you were rooted but I wouldn't anyway)

Hi everyone,
I'm one of those "lucky" guys whose Galaxy S3 was affected by a sudden and unexplained death.
Despite having a microSD card i had kept around 700 photos in the internal memory, since I didn't think my phone was gonna commit suicide like it did 4 days ago. Since they told me at Samsung technical service that they're gonna probably have to replace the mainboard, that means everything stored in the internal memory will be lost.
Thing is a had performed a CWM backup days before the "incident" so I'm wondering that if when a get the phone repaired from Samsung and root it again, then perform a CWM restore...that would restore my pics. I've read equivocal things looking up Google, some people say CWM (Nandroid) doesnt backup anything from the internal sdcard, others say it backs ur photos up too....
Can anybody shed some light on this, please?

Thanks for answering chubby. I stored my CWM backups in my external microSD card so I'd able to access that data again once rooted. Definitely no chance at all of the pics being somewhere there in the backup?

Ok, cheers mate. I'm really gutted too, it's incredible that such an expensive phone comes with faulty hardware like this.
I think I'm gonna contact Samsung again asking for a compensation or something like that, they should pay up for 3 weeks without phone and the loss of data.

When i sent mine off for repair it went as 16GB model and came back as 32gb model so it's worth asking

My S3 had all the symptoms of the sudden death problem. It died on overnight charge and would not boot pass the Samsung logo.
Installing the same firmware that was on the phone before it failed did not fix the problem. But... Installing the latest firmware did and allowed the phone to boot normally and I was able to retrieve ALL data from the phone memory. I'm posting this because several people have said that it is not possible to retrieve data from the phone once this problem occurs.
I still intend to leave my phone in for repair but I was at least able to get my data. :good:
I don't think you had actually reached full or half sds. If you had, people were correct that you couldn't flash it.
Before my sds I had several filesystem corruptions which I recovered with backups and rom flashes but these were pre cursars to the actual sds issue.
Everyone should use dropbox auto upload for photos and foldersync for other data as a preventative measure

This may work if your phone is actually recognized by a pc. If not, like mine, I don't think there is a way to recover the internal memory (unless it's possible to remove memory modules and read stuff off of it??)

You need to create your own post with all the required info instead of posting in a dead one.
Hello everyone,
Few days ago I wanted to try out encrypting my samsung note 3. The process took over few hours without anything happening. I then decided the encryption failed and restartet the phone. It then asked my to reset it to factory settings, which I didn't do (yet). Unfortunatly I didn't make a backup before trying to encrypt it, and I would really like to keep the data, especially pictures.
Now is there any way I can still get the data? Or even the slightest possibility?
USB Samsung Kies, Samsung Smart Switch can't access the device.
Now is there any way to still get atleast some data?
So many people had this problem nobody can solve it, I been looking for 2 days to solve it.
Please help me I don't want to lose my pictures from last 4 years. :crying:
Thank you!
I can pay 100$ if somebody can help me with this
My ex distroyed my external drive with my phone backup on it. I have rooted my note 4, however i did a factory reset and somehow screwed up the SU app. I have not touched the phone in months, but it appears now I may need to try and recover the original partition, if its even possible. I cannot get my PC to recognize the phone because i cannot seem to enable USB debugging no matter which PC i use. Possibly a result of my screwing up the root?
anyway, first I guess I should start by asking - is it even possible to try and recover an original partition after being overwritten a few times? If it is, and here's another stretch, is there anyone out there who might be willing/able to investigate the possibility with me remotely? alternately, is there anyone you might refer me to who could possibly do this remotely? Im happy to pay for services. My ex is trying to take my kiddo from me and I have no evidence to defend myself without my text history.
thanks in advance for your time.
regards,
J.
Yes and No.Firstly you should consider the fact that Your phone drive has nothing to do with a factory reset.A reset would only wipe data and system partitions.Secondly you should consult a professional because your issue is very serious and I don't want you screwing around.But I can assure you after 3 years of a phone being factory reset many times and using it some tine without filling up the storage fully and running a data recovery software I was able to retrieve my brother's old photo.That he took while buying the phone.So There is a lot of chance you can get them back just contact a professional.
