Strange Display Output GT-I9300 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
got a GT-I9300 from a friend. I'm gonna try to fix this. But I figured I'll ask here first.
This Display gives me 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_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I thought about the Cable from MoBo to Display, but I'm not sure.
Thanks in Advance.

I guess dead eMMC. If you can find a reflow station, just buy a new eMMC and replace it. Repartition and then you're done.

Hi thanks for the answer.
So it's not the display but the missing of an OS due to the broken eMMC? mhm interesting.
But isn't the eMMC soldered to the MoBo? How difficult is it replace it?

Of course it is slodered to the MB, but if you have a reflow gun, some spare balls and an eMMC laying around, it takes about an hour or so. If not, see your local repair shop. It may as well be a bad connection, so best get it reflowed.

Okay, as I thought. I'm not as comfy with soldering stuff myself. I did not get into it and I don't plan on doing so on a friends device.
I will propably take it to a store then. How much would you pay for a job like that? The most shops in germany are overpriced as ****, so would be nice to have a reference.

How much would I pay? Well, the eMMC is about 24 euro on Ebay, and I'd say probably 30-40 euro for the labor. It's very complicated and the risk of doing something wrong is higher than average. Plus the software on it, your guess is as good as mine. The total should be right about 70-85 euro. That's how much I'd charge for the swap if i ran a shop with the tools.

Sooo... will the warranty still cover this?
Just a couple of hours ago just when I received the dongle(took longer then a month, but I can't complain ) I randomly tried GPS Essentials Camera feature and whaddya know? It doesn't work anymore. I think the camera just pop'ed from the board or something, but how? this thing is way to expensive to throw it anywhere like some nokia device. I've been so careful with it, sure I have some scratches here and there but I had nothing like this before...

Common problem. Search. RMA only choice.
Well I didn't notice anything like this to roll around in the forums so I'll ask here: Can I fix it myself maybe? or can't I because of some warranty stickers in the way?

As I can guess, you can't fix it completely by yourself. My tablet has the same problem and it is now in service centre. Waiting for the results.(Best variant is receiving it on Wednesday).

In fact, if you have warranty card, you can try and send it to your service centre. If it won't help, try to get your money back.

Enough said.

Couldn't you have said the person on Craigslist must have done something to it since you bricked it so soon after receiving it? That's what I would have said.

2 days ago I traded my HTC Vivid for a Galaxy Note with a dude on Craigslist (dumb move on his part) & within less than 24 hours of having it, I managed to hard brick it by flashing an incompatible kernel. Completely my fault.
LUCKILY, I took the phone into an AT&T store and played the dumb card. After about 45 minutes of going back & forth with the store manager and a warranty agent on the phone, they decided to send me a brand new replacement at no charge. Should be here Monday.
I feel like I really lucked out seeing as to how I traded with someone on Craigslist.. I really thought I was screwed!

Don't understand. Are you bragging about making a totally avoidable mistake or how you lied to AT&T reps? Either way I don't see too much to shout about.

I couldn't agree more
If people are flashing things they should at least be responsible for messing up.
And this also could be a good reason why apple is closed source

Oh gee, I hope AT&T doesn't see that Cory Peterson from Texarkana, Arkansas has defrauded them.

[Q] where to start ?

Hi i think my S2 is falling behind in updates so i consider installing a custom rom, i just dont know where to start ?
Can anybody help me ?
What do i need to know ?
Wich rom to choose ?
There is no "best rom" so try to google or look at forums to see the one that suit you the most.
If you need light one then try Slim Bean or if u need a lot of options go for CM10.
There is a lot roms so you need to find the one u like the most. Most of them are great, its just what u like/need.
Try reading this thread before starting and make sure you are confident in what you are doing.

You should probably buy a usb jig, find out where your nearest j-tag center is(for future reference), and a mb is about £100 if your out of warranty.
1.yes
2.almost everything
3.take your pick

There is just so much to read, maybe i didnt have to read it all
Almost every person who has busted their phone to one extent or another on here lately (and there has been quite a few) did so because they thought 'There is just so much to read, maybe i didnt have to read it all'.
The likelihood of you borking your phone increases exponentially depending on how little you read/learn/understand. Take your time, don't do anything to your phone unless you understand exactly what you're trying to do to it.

Thats right, you dont need to read it all.Because of the popularity of the phone, loads of threads have 1000s of posts-so for now just read the first few of the ones you need.
And in this forum, you find almost everything covered each week and it just like a bootloop the following week (same crap different people).
So read a few guides about odin/cwm/roms/kernel/efs/nand backup/brickbug/bootloop etc.
And look through the problems here.Youll find the solutions posted which will increase your knowlege.
Some people know so much about brick bug....they became experts by having their devices bricked because of that bug.

[Q] There is something wrong with the SCREEN!

Hi guys !
I have a big problem here please help me ........
I just bought a Fire HDX 8.9" from Amazon.com.
After a couple days, I found there is something in my screen.
It's like couple of super-tiny-red-dash-matrix, you have to watch the screen very carefully to see those things.
They look like the Attachment picture below, and they show more clearly in white background.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They are actually smaller and more blurred than the picture shows. And when I change the angle between the device and my eyes, the matrix will move up-down.
So, when I found this problem, I contacted Amazon and Replaced the device.
BUT, the Second device they sent to me, has the SAME problem:crying:!!!!!!!!!!
This situation very very confuse me. I just wonder is there any fellows have the same problem with me ? And what should I do?
MY device: Fire HDX 8.9, 8.9" HDX Display, Wi-Fi, 64 GB - Includes Special Offers.
(I'm a new international student here, so please forgive me about the bad language.)
Thank you all if there is any help or advises.
should I take a third shot?

Which firmware is on it? Did you rooted kindle, put some other recovery on it, than stock? Using safestrap and running nexus on extra slot?
No? Then that could also means, that there is some faulty batch of Apollos (bad screens or faulty HW) devices in Amazon storages, so you can end with faulty device again ... Or not. What you do, is up to you... :good:

Thanks for the reply.
No, I have not done any thing about the kindle. It is definitely the hardware problem.
I just wanna check other's kindle to see whether you guys have this problem or not. It turns out not.
I brought it when Amazon has the Valentine's Promotion. 64G ROM just need $299, I think it is a great offer. But......:crying:
I will contact Amazon tell them what I have found, and good luck for me........:silly:
