when writing the title i saw a similair thread and they said he blew his digitizer, posting this question anyway just to see if somebody can confirm that.
Hallo,
First off some details:
I have a galaxy s3 i9300.
I was attempting to install android 4.4.
Due to "error 7" this was a lot harder then it should have been ( the versions of cwm that i could get to work gave error 7 and newer versions did not load)
Eventually i installed philz touch version 6 wich was able to install this kitkat file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=11372
(back-to-n00t_ROM_V9).
However the screen stopped responding, the solutions found using google (take our battery, factory reset, unscrew the back and check a connector) did not work.
I think i got android 4.4 running, the other buttons work fine and i can acces the recovery and the download mode.
During my process i downloaded a kernel of a s2
(https://emilgeorgejames.wordpress.c...ogenmod-11-kk4-4-4-on-samsung-s-ii-gt-i9100g/)
Which, as far as i can see might be the problem, however i dont know anything about kernels etc. i tried installing s3 kernels from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-galaxy-s3-stock-kernel-bootloaders-t2189063) which did not solve the problem.
I installed android 4.3 again from here (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9300/), i installed the Netherlands version which had a pda of i9300XUGOL2 and a CSC I9300TNLGOC1 (what ever that means)
Currently i am downloading I9300XXEMG5_I9300ODDEMG1_INU from (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/17479/I9300XXEMG5_I9300ODDEMG1_INU/) since that matches the kernal version i mentioned above.
Take note, i am very new at this, i spend some time today and yesterday trying to get android 4.4 working which is all the experience i have with this subject.
In advance, thank you all for any help you can provide.
I hope i dont have to buy a new phone, i just wanted to play pokemon go
pls help to get below answer from you
*is touch working on recovery mod(philpz touch recovery)

Hi thanks for the reply!
The touch screen is not working in recovery, i guess i`ll try installing cm 13 anyway.
I tried what is shown on youtube before and it did not work unfortunaly.
I installed cm13 nightly build from here: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9300
Screen is still unresponsive.

so my bet is you made the phone go to emergency (touch)-firmware flash and it failed... this occures if you flash a wrong kernel or a kernel that was broken due to download (that happens sometimes... thats why there are md5sums out )
we can fix that but first:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A i9300 ... then proceed
1. make sure you are on a correct i9300 kernel
2. make sure you are on my latest twrp for i9300
3. make sure to flash latest cm13 official for i9300
if you boot to twrp and the touch dont work then install "minimal adb and fastboot" (no link... google... ) to your PC
then open adb and connect the phone while in twrp
then enter this command in terminal:
adb twrp mount system
adb shell ls /system/etc/
and show me what you see

I definitly installed the wrong kernal at one point, cause im stupid and tought what could go wrong?
I tried to follow your steps.
1. i think i have a correct kernal installed now, i instaled one from (forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-galaxy-s3-stock-kernel-bootloaders-t2189063) i removed the http:// else i cant post the link.
2. i installed 3.0.2-1 for the i9300, however it asks me about unmodified system partitions and to exit that screen i need to have touch screen enabled. It twrp needed or is philz touch / cmw also oke?
3. How do i flash cm13? I have odin but the only cm13 files i could find were either a zip or a recovery.img The zip is on my sd card and installed atm i could reinstall it again from sd card if that also works and then reboot?
thanks for the help
Try to restore your Stock firmware with kies, flash twrp with odin and then install cm13.

Okay i did the following steps:
back to stock with kies
installed philz touch 6
installed cm13 md5sum: db517fbbacdb167b06f5b483dbdce
installed twrp 3.0.2-1
Now i cant use anything in recovery since i cant go passed the partition system.
Using adb i can give commands and i tried your commands.
However i have no clue what to place on the etc part in: "adb shell ls /system/etc/"
When literally typing that it returns: "ls: /system/etc/: No such file or directory"

ok so on sony devices (wich uses rmi4 ) you can flash it directly... on your samsung thats not possible... because you use tsp_malfes .... BUT
1. flash a full stockrom ( for your device !!!)
2. get a usb otg mouse and connect
3. use the mouse to controll your phone now
4. go to dialer and type *#*#2663#*#
this should initialise a touchscreen firmware update
if it suceed... your touch should work after reboot
if it suceeded and your touch doesnt work after reboot it is maybe burned due to overvoltage
if it failed give me the error message

It never started the update, it gave an error called:
Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code
I could try to bypass it by using method 2 mentioned here: http://www.technobezz.com/fix-connection-problem-invalid-mmi-code/
Which is to add + signs after every *. However i dont know if thats a smart thing to do.
edit: I called somebody to make sure i dont have connection problems.

Root LG P500 Fast
this tool was originally created for the lg p350, but some people tried it on their p500's and it worked
I post here so all of you can root your devices with only a few clicks
Disclaimer
I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, dead SD-cards, or any misfortunes that happen to you
This tool is fool proof, and if doesn't work, then YOU have broken it, YOUR phone was already bricked, or YOU Haven't followed the instructions properly
Do not Blame any developer for any problems. If it bricks devices, then it won't be published
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You do not need to boot into fastboot. All instructions are given to you as you work
If your device can't be detected then it will go through checks, such as seeing if pc can see the device (windows 7 only)
It will also download and install the drivers for you silently if your computer doesn't have them, or if they are not working correctly
To use
download the zip here
extract to where ever you want
run "antdking's p500 rooting tool.bat" (could be called "antdking's p500 rooting tool" depending on your system)
follow the steps
If anyone wants to suggest features, post on here
If anyone wants to alter code, or add code (only if you know what you are doing), then send the suggestions to me, I will check them and add them
If people from other phones use this and it works, please post on here, or the original thread and I will post it into your forum as well
enjoy

It might also root the optimus hub as well
in fact, most phones that can be rooted with superoneclick should be able to be rooted with this

Hello.

Use "unlock root" (google it), just install the program and click "root" while the cellphone is connected to the PC.
Issue
Thanks for putting this together antdking
I came across an issue rooting my LG Optimus One with it, the batch script gave an error with something like "invalid option for su: --install"
Fixed it by adding single-quotes around the busybox command on line 409 like this:
adb -d wait-for-device shell "su -c '/system/bin/busybox --install -s /system/bbin'"

No. Rooting will only allow you to flash a custom recovery, which you need to do seperately after rooting.
Options for Custom Recoveries -
1) AmonRa 2) TWRP 3) CWM
I use AmonRa which I find most stable & functional. CWM installation from ROM manager could brick your phone.
Once you have installed your recovery, then you can flash any custom ROM you like from this forum.
Hope this helps.:good:

Hi guys,
As title says, I just lost my lock screen after flashing the official jb. After made few tests and feedback from various people, here what I've done to solve my problem. I just want to share with everyone. So I'm making this guide as noob as I can.
All this done from terminal apps (download from play store) and yes, rooted phone is mandatory. Type in to terminal emulator everything I wrote below (each line mean new command, press enter to execute):
su
cp /efs/imei/keystr /efs/imei/keystr.bak
echo ON >> /efs/imei/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/imei/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/imei/keystr
reboot
p/s: you might received an error after entered cp command because you don't have any keystr file, so just ignore it. If no error, mean you just created backup file of keystr named keystr.bak, you can restore it later by using this command:
mv /efs/imei/keystr.bak /efs/imei/keystr

Hi guys,
As title says, I just lost my lock screen after flashing the official jb. Below are the details:
1) using cm10.1
2) full wipe (using full wipe script zip as downloaded from apriliam3)
3) installed official jb from odin
> at this point, I started to lose my lock screen
4) afraid of this bug came from cm10.1, I tried to flash wanam leaked jb, and the lock screen just fine.
5) So after waiting for wanam to release his v14, I flashed again and the bug say hi again to me.
Got pissed off, I even try to use so many type of wipe, from philz to nukewipe.
Yes, I can get my lock screen from any other rom except from this official jb based.
Hope someone can answer this or at least give me some idea.
p/s: sorry to mentioned name above, I love your work, but I can't post directly to your thread as I don't have enough privilege to post there.

Did you check the lock screen settings?
If so, flash stock 4.1.2 (now that is hot).
Oh....you already been there. That's not a bug, no bug can be present in 3 diffrent roms.
Re-flash, wipe all data & see if it pops up again.

yeah, i think so, maybe it's my device. just now i re-flashed LSJ(oxx) with PIT, yes, i re-partitioned and re-formatted my internal-sd as well, booted and everything working fine. so i decided to give one more chance to LS8(oxx) and the result as expected. now, again, reverting back to LSJ and not planning to install LS8 yet.
here the new thing that i found out when i'm using LS8,
- my power button act weird, it's not just can't lock the screen, but even mid-long press will directly reboot my device(suppose power menu will come out right?)
btw thanks man.
Re: Official JB - Lock screen not working
np man.
just so we're clear.....you get your lockscreen in jb leak? not in ls8....am I right?
Keep away from that spanish ROM then.
Man..I too am thinking about going back to leakland...no media scanner there

Re: Official JB - Lock screen not working
Yeah, just finished setting up my leaky rom.
Everything working fine now. So, from my made up theory, the Europe rom might not works well with my Asia device (lsj is global build). Maybe I should give a shot for China rom or I'll just wait for Singapore rom.

After flashing the stock rom in ODIN go back into download mode and flash Siyah v6 beta4, boot into recovery and then do a wipe data/factory reset. This should fix the lock screen issue.
If not just flash latest Wannam rom, Its better then stock sammy anyway.

Thanks mate, but I've done exactly as what you suggested and just they don't work with my phone.
p/s: Actually I don't really mind now. Switched back to Samsung 4.1 just because of it's most "workable" mail app, splanner and I love the Samsung keyboard with swipe function which has multi languages support.

:good: so many thanks for your hint. after reading linked post, i did some search for /efs of i9100 device and got the correct path:
# /efs/imei/keystr
Same issue !
kunterk said:
yeah, i think so, maybe it's my device. just now i re-flashed LSJ(oxx) with PIT, yes, i re-partitioned and re-formatted my internal-sd as well, booted and everything working fine. so i decided to give one more chance to LS8(oxx) and the result as expected. now, again, reverting back to LSJ and not planning to install LS8 yet.
here the new thing that i found out when i'm using LS8,
- my power button act weird, it's not just can't lock the screen, but even mid-long press will directly reboot my device(suppose power menu will come out right?)
btw thanks man.

I face same issue as described above. No lock and pressing power key for long gives reboot. I just flashed official LS8 using Odin 1 day back. I had same problem with 4.0.3. In addition to that, FM Radio doesn't pick up any station. Applications resets to default doesn't reset. Thank you.

Hi guys,
As title says, I just lost my lock screen after flashing the official jb. Below are the details:
1) using cm10.1
2) full wipe (using full wipe script zip as downloaded from apriliam3)
3) installed official jb from odin
> at this point, I started to lose my lock screen
4) afraid of this bug came from cm10.1, I tried to flash wanam leaked jb, and the lock screen just fine.
5) So after waiting for wanam to release his v14, I flashed again and the bug say hi again to me.
Got pissed off, I even try to use so many type of wipe, from philz to nukewipe.
Yes, I can get my lock screen from any other rom except from this official jb based.
Hope someone can answer this or at least give me some idea.

edit:
i will write down as simple as i can on how to fix this issue. first of all, u will need a rooted rom / kernel. in my case, i've flashed this wipe script, wanamlite v14, dorimanx kernel and installed terminal (from PlayStore)
my steps:
open terminal and login as root: $ su
go to /efs/imei/ folder: # cd /efs/imei
check if keystr file exist: # ls
if you can see keystr listed, just remove it: # rm keystr or...
if you can't see it, just create new keystr file: # touch keystr
edit your keystr: # vi keystr
in vi editor, prees "i" and type "ON" without quote and save it by pressing "Volume Up + E" and type in ":wq!" without quote and yes, with colon
now just reboot by type in terminal : # reboot
much easier method that i can think so far(i don't use this method as i'm too lazy to install root explorer):
install root explorer (from Play Store)
go to root folder "/" and find efs >> imei
when you in there, if you find keystr file, just delete it and make new file by pressing + icon (as far as i remember)
then click the file and choose edit. use your favourite text editor. type in ON and save
reboot your phone
and now, you are good to go and play with your power button all night...:silly:

Suppose the vi is the most basic text editor. You also can use echo as replacement. Eg. echo ON >> /efs/imei/keystr
Additional, you can set this too, just to make sure system can use it properly:
chmod 0744 /efs/imei/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/imei/keystr
Do this to factorymode as well. Hope this solve yours.

Hello. I am new to forums in general. In fact I made this account just now so I can get some help as I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere.
I am trying to flash clockworkmod to my Galaxy S4. I have successfully rooted with the help of Odin and Motochopper. I downloaded Rom Manager from the playstore and used it to flash(?) CWM 6.0.4.4. When I try to boot into recovery a yellow triangle with an exclamation point appears with the text, "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." In the top left corner of my screen it also says Secure Fail: Kernel. If I reboot into download mode and press the volume key down, my phone resets and boots up normally. What is going on?
I have tried using these methods but they don't work.

If your rooted. Put the twrp image at the root of your sdcard. Internal storage.use terminal emulator to flash it. The link above in the earlier post will direct you to the twrp site.

Just find a ROM specific for your phone (search xda for desire x) and put it on sdcard. Either with an external SD reader or through recovery. Then wipe all in recovery, then flash ROM and gapps if needed
Then reboot

Long story short: I think i bricked my HTC Desire X. After rooting (succesful) i tried to remove stock T-Mobile apps. They were re-installing after reboot. I did some research and found many solutions, one of them was to install custom kernel. So, i grabbed neXusKERNELv3 and using WinDroid HTC Desire X Toolkit (Fastboot Commands > Flash > System Image) i flashed .img file to my phone. After rebooting nothing happens - HTC quietly brilliant logo, vibration and blank black screen.
One of the solutions of this problem i found in the internet was to install custom rom, but to do so, i have to acces my sd card, which i cant.
I have acces to bootloader and recovery (phillaz touch 5).
Anyone can help me? I'm noob, i just wanted to get rid of those annoying T-Mobile apps!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English, im not native english speaker.
Update: I turned on the phone and left it alone for some time - after HTC logo and black screen nothing happens for some time and then htc logo appears again, and there is black screen again.

Dude one thing, your phone isin't bricked and you said you have Phiz touch recovery right? You can mount your SD card from there (I believe) then...
Before you do any of these make sure you have an unlocked phone (I know you said it. Rooted and unlocked bootloader), java and hansoon 2000's toolkir (optional, if you don't want to use CMD.) and an updated phone (you should have the 1.25 Hboot by now.)
1. Download a ROM and extract the boot.img to the folder where you have "fastboot.exe"
2. Boot your phone to recovery then mount your SD card from there.
3. Copy the ROM on to your SD card. (Oh you know that.)
4. Reboot back to bootloader and select fastboot
5. Plug your phone to your computer using a USB cable and open a command prompt window (CMD)
6. Type the following codes...
Code:
fastboot devices
Then
Code:
fastboot erase cache
And finally
Code:
fastboot flash boot (name_of_image).img
7. BACK UP YOUR STOCK ROM
8. Do a wipe data/factory reset
9. Wipe dalvik cache.
10. Flash the ROM that you placed in your SD card.
I hope it worked lol. Goodluck bro!
In addition if you don't have card reader
1. Flash TWRP or CWM recovery
2. From recovery open "ADB Sideload"
3. Flash the rom.zip with ADB sideload
For more info: http ://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com.tr/2013/12/ow-to-use-adb-sideload.html
4. Flash kernel (boot.img) via fastboot
Done

I've flashed boot.img from fastboot command. It worked..To be frank, I dont know how it worked..but it worked :laugh:
I just purchased the Sprint variant of the HTC One Max and decided to unlock the bootloader to root it. I followed the instructions up to the point where I have to have to run the fastboot command in CMD. The example shows the CMD changing its directory to \Android. When I try to do this, I'm given the error: "The system cannot find the path specified." I tried just doing fastboot command, but came back with "fastboot is not recognized..."
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Android SDK, Java Runtime, and HTC Sync are all installed and updated.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the quick reply.
This worked, but when I attempt to run the command for the fastboot I get an error saying "The program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer."
Was this something that was supposed to be installed from one of the Android SDK installs?

Sounds like part of it didn't install correctly. Rinse and repeat. Maybe something got hosed in your earlier attempts.

I happened to have found the file in a different folder. Should I just drag and drop it into the adt folder?

It was in the sdk\platform-tools folder.
Does the command line have to be directed to the folder containing the fastboot application file? Inside said platform-tools folder is the fastboot file as well as the ApbWinApi.dll file.
OH! I think I got it! I'll report back with final details...
Keep your fingers crossed!!!

Yep! Unlocked the bootloader successfully! Now, I'm trying to Root and the instructions I'm following are good, but I'm stuck again - It says to run CMD and use the command "adb devices." It comes back with nothing found, yet, according to the instructions my phone's serial number should be listed. I placed the Superuser.zip file in the phone's storage (per requisite) and tried to run the command with the phone on normally and again in the bootloader.
No luck... Suggestions?
Edit: USB Debugging wasn't on... Trying again...

If you are unlocked you can simply download a custom recovery for your phone into your fastboot directory and boot your phone to boot loader (fastboot) mode. Flash your recovery using your appropriate fastboot command. Then boot to your new custom recovery and flash the su.zip you copied to the phone from recovery.

Good deal. You may want to investigate s-off'ing that thing too while you still can. Just make sure you download the right version for your phone and run as admin

Would that solve my next problem? (I'm such a sputz)
I'm rooted, but I can't uninstall anything with Titanium Backup. The last time this happened on my S3 I was told to install SuperSU and install updated binaries. I did that, but when I reboot and go back into SuoerSU it acymts as if it never happened. Apps I uninstalled are still present, too.
Would S-offing solve this?
Edit: Also, I get an annoying pop-up when I start the phone up that says vDN client has failed. Even before I unlocked and rooted. Any way to stop this?

You need to flash an insecure boot.img to disable system write protection. S-off would allow you to recover your phone using both signed and unsigned ruu. The advantage of that is when you hose your phone and there's not a current ruu for the version your phone is on - s-on user would be screwed because you cannot downgrade. Just one of many reasons.
The fc problem I'm not sure. If you aren't using that app you can disable it in the stock app manager. Same goes for stuff you might normally remove with tibu. Be warned too that future otas will likely fail if system apps are missing.

i have noticed someelse posting about the vDN client failing.. it your providers bloatware if i remember correctly and i think @dottat has a good suggestion! disabled it
So I somehow lost root privileges... After S-offing, I was asked to update the SU binary through the Superuser app (not SuperSU) and I did so. When the install finished, I went into Titanium Backup and was told I'm not rooted.
Went back into Superuser and it didn't prompt for an update, but SuperSU did. Attempted and failed.
Went into recovery and tried to recover root - no luck.
HALP!

Make sure you aren't running both supersu and superuser. I prefer supersu

Huzzah! Thanks again! Hopefully I can actually freeze/remove system apps without them being brought back after a reboot. Also, in the picture provided, what is that icon in the notification bar just right of the GPS icon? And, is there any way to hide some of the icons?

Don't use Superuser by ChainsDD anymore.. Personally I would love to continue to use it but he is basically no longer supporting his Superuser app and binary and hasn't updated it in a very long time. SuperSU by Chainfire is constantly being updated therefore made to work with all current versions of Android.. Quite frankly it's all the same basically anyways I just liked the skull and cross bone look lol... Chainfire is a monster as well and has a ton of root related apps and cool things going on. ChainsDD I guess passed the torch on to Chainfire???

Also I have no idea what that icon is next to the GPS icon.. You must be on Sprint, I'm on Verizon and I don't think I've seen that icon before..
