Hey all,
I just went from ICS to Stock 2.3.6 and the first thing I noticed is that after the flashing process where de phones go to recovery and loads for some time it asked me for a password... I tried many things but without luck, i flashed TWRP and wiped data and everything then it went away and I could normally use my phone...
Now I set up a Pin lock on my phone and I know 100% sure i know the pin because im using it for a year or so now but it keeps telling me the pincode is incorrect, so i cant unlock it.
Wiped everything again and did the same thing but again it keeps telling me its wrong while I know its correct...
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Well, according to this: "I wiped data and everything then it went away and I could normally use my phone...", it seems (at least that's what I think) that you have set a software-based pin code (instead of the simcard code itself) from which you thought it was the simcard code all the time. so your simcard code remained unchanged. This is just my speculation, try the original code. (if you can still find it) Because wiping any partition would never delete information (pincode) on your simcard.

No its not the pincode of my simcard that it asks for thats still there and working fine it asks for a password which i assume is the pinlock on my phone, i also tried without a lock on my phone and it still asks for it.
On this thread the OP has posted a phone its exactly like that!

I just set another lock with the pin 1234 and it still says Fout Wachtwoord ´Incorrect Password´

It may sound as im advertising, but what you can try is flashing broodROM RC5 with odin, a bunch of people actually reported that if your stuck in "your" situation, a flash of broodrom goodness can do miracles. I have never experienced such problems but you can always try and flash my rom, if it works again then install stock

I just installed Broodrom Business edition and the first thing I did was testing if the problem got solved, so I set up a pincode even wrote it down to make sure I dont go paranoid but it still says wrong password and I cant unlock the phone anymore, wiped cache+dalvik cache+data/factory reset and even did a system wipe but still nothing, im using TWRP by the way...
I really hope someone knows how to fix this I really hate the situation im in right now and I really want to know whats causing it...
Flashing ICS ang going back to GB seems a big mistake of me...

I just flashed Broodrom RC5 and everything went as expected, only Odin didn't say PASSED this time either but it went well luckly.
The phone booted and i set up an lock screen i locked it and it still says pincode wrong! Now i need to wipe date etc to have access again.
This is really pissing me off...
What can i do now?
Where is the lockscreen located? maybe i can access it and change some values or something?
Or can someone thats using Broodrom rc5 give me his framework file or some system files that the lockscreen may be using?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry man. Pin code security comes from you sim card. Changing your system files wont work. You can Buy a new sim card, Try to find puk code or go back to your provider and tell them you lost your puk code.

I am now on 2.3.6 and I already wanted to try that but when I connect it to kies is says 'Your device is not supported' or something because I got this firmware file from samfirmware I think.
Is there a way to force update to the firmware Kies was giving?
Btw i noticed when I set a pin screen lock and afterwards I press 'No Screenlock' it doesn't ask for the pin to confirm, and as long as I can remember it did when you wanted to remove the screenlock(back in the days when it was working lol).

I've used Darky's 10.1 ROM for a while,
Today, I've installed Mcafee EMM, which passworded my device and encrypted my sdcard.
I then uninstalled it, and boot the phone. and it started decrypting and got stuck for 2 hours.
Everytime I tried to reboot, it got stuck in decryption again.
I then went and flashed again Fiecto tar and pit through Odin successfully.
But, when the phone booted it asking me for a password.
I'm stuck. I don't know the password.
This f..... app changed my system files.
Can I flash the device completly ? how ?
Is my phone dead ?
I know you probably have already done this but have you done a factory reset and wiped cache partiton?
Try entering random passwords repeatedly, this had worked for quite a lot of people with similar problem but different root cause, worth a try

The title says it all. I have no data signal at all. I'm running PrimeHD v9, stock kernel, 11w50.
Today it just dissapeared. I was using my phone pretty normally, and today suddenly data stopped to work. I've tried full wipe, wipe dalvik, wipe cache, reflashing primeHD v9, i also tried prime HD v7, and stock 2.1
i've done some search on this forum and i also tried the getprop ril.MSL thing, and tried my SIM card on the other phone where 3G and EDGE worked normally
please help, my x8 without internet is useless
wow 11W50.
Mmm. try repair/update your phone to 2.1 with se pc companion,then root and install recovery and flash primehd. Should works!
maybe you must check your APN setting and your wireless settings..

You said your note came from repair and it was on download mode. I think it was NOT REPAIRED AT ALL. Country or region has nothing to do with manual flashing. You only need region when using kies to update.

Tbere is no need to try different roms as every rom is like same. Not much difference. Maybe your device is hard bricked and writing isn't possible. Get your motherboard replaced.

Since I am not able to connect to a network I am lost as to what to try. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I have gotten the stock ICS rom from samfirmware.com, Installed using ODIN and it all went green.
However, after restart the touch screen is not working !
I have tried the following:
1. First the Default (XXX) ICS rom
2. Second, the Actual ATT ICS rom
3. Flashed CWM and it is working
4. Then tried AOKP unofficial rom, not starting
No luck so far, any help is much appreciated please.
The touch screen was working after step 3?

One more note now, am not sure if that is normal if not.but after the latest flash ( preceded by a data wipe and format ) I can now see zip file I have placed on sdcard but can't access them for flashing and/or ad new zip files from pc
In cwm do a factory reset, wipe and format system and data and then boot. I'm hoping that will solve the problem.

Am trying to get a new ROM flashed, but when the device powers up [ without me going through the wizard ], i can't write anything to SD from my PC.
Any info around here about flashing CM or AOKP using ODIN for this I957 ?
Not with Odin that I'm aware of. All are zip files and would go thru cwm. If you get only to the Samsung logo, my experience has been a factory reset usually gets you past that and if that doesn't work flashing the stock rom with Odin does. And I'd flash the honeycomb rom and bring it back to they way I bought it, then upgrade to ics

I should mention something that has gotten me worried, i flashed a TWRP recovery to check if the touch would work there, but it didn't.
Not sure if i should be worried about HW now, or try another TWRP for instance? Or perhaps TWRP shares another flawed tab wide configuration with the Android image ?
It's not twrp, I use it on my tab and it Works fine. If you were the only one who has this problem I'd say hardware for sure. But at least one other person has the same problem after updating to ics. It seems like there something with the firmware interfacing with the touch screen.

Everyhting worrked fine after that i was able to call and send messages etc. But today i tryed to root the phone, With multiple ways actually, CF-root, thru CWM. but there was some problems, Bit off topic but after i flashed the CF-root i was rooted, But SuperSU asked me to update binary and after that i wasnt rooted anymore :/
and the problem thru CWM that it didnt root at all, Dont know what the problem was...
*knox warranty gone, didnt even know about such a thing before i searched abit...*
Well anyway now i flashed stock rom again, The same that i flashed earlier and now my phone is buggin with the sim card, It will detect it but its not detecting the network or twhatever it it, So its only allowing Emergency calls...
i have tryed pulling the sim out of the phone etc but hasnt worked
I was wondering it it can be phones fault, For the trys of rooting etc.. Or can it just be the sim cards or the providers error?

Well, I tryed to read all of those, And what i got from them is that flashing stock ROM should work, if not then flashing MODEM could work,
In the other hand, if the /efs is corrupted or something, Then if i dont have backup im ****ed
Is there anything i could do other than sending it into repair?

Edit:
I looked my IMEI from *#06# on dialer, it looked alright but at the end theres " / 01", Should that be there?
The /01 is a check digit.... That should be there. ... Cant share from my Wikipedia app but.... Search for IMEI there, it'll describe it in detail...

Ok thanks.
Well i checked my IMEI behiind the battery, Its the same that is in the *#06#,
And the IMEI Shows on the setting/about device/status, I can see IMEI and IMEI SV, But stuff like IP address, Network are Unkown and Service state is Out of service. Im bit confused what the problem here is
I would try your SIM card on another phone just to make sure, you can usually get a duplicate for free or cheap if thats the issue.
If the SIM card issue is working fine, get hold of the PARAM and WIPE images for your model and run them through Odin, then flash a recent firmware.
At least that is what I would try, but I'm not sure if knox bootloader is going to make it easy for you or not.
Maybe someone else knows more?
Good luck!!!

The sim card cannot be dublicate, As when i bought the phone, Around 4-5 months ago, The normal sim card got changed to the micro-sim that fits into s3.
Im not totally sure what u mean with the "get PARAM and wipe images", and i have flashed the stock rom couple of times, Heck i even ran the Kies FW recovery thingy that does the same thing.. and yea, That ****ing Knox...
WIPE and PARAM are images similar to the firmware ones you used to flash your phone. Except that what they do is completely wipe and re-partition (Think of it like formatting your PC before you install Windows) and then configure the device for the first time. This way we can make sure that it isn't an issue with the way that the firmware was installed (issues can arise if you flash too many times or different roms / versions of android are installed without wiping in between) I don't own an S III so unfortunately I can't help you finding them, though I'm sure someone else will be able to link you to them...

Thanks for the quick replys.
SO installing stock rom thru odin, OR Kies both can fail? if i understood correctly.
Does the region matter on those?
You are most welcome I hope I've been of some help. And yes, there is always a possibility of something going wrong if you do not wipe first (Not so much if you're upgrading from the same rom and android version eg: TouchWiz stock 4.2 to 4.2 , but yes if for example 4.2 to 4.3 or from stock to custom, or vice versa etc..)
As for region, if the model is the same there really shouldnt be an issue, at most you'll have a wrong CSC which would involve having to configure APN settings manually.... But to get that far first we'd need the phone to register on the network.... Which yours isn't doing at the moment... I do not think this is the problem.

So, If id now do full wipe/factory reset, And then flash the stock rom again, Whould it be possible to get the settings back, Or are they now kinda saved thgere?
I think its worth a try..
A wipe will clear all settings, but if you use the right region most will be configured automatically for you (I'm assuming you're refering to the APNs)

Did not help, Im at the same point as before, And it should be the right region as Kies also detects the same region code.
Well, Yea, akward....
I dont know if this did it or was it just the derpyness of me trying something. But what ever
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915
I flashed this param.bin, But It did nothing, as i guessed tbh.
Then i went to the access points, And then i realised the network operators. I had to register into network there
Yea, Well it is fixed now,
Fix: The problem was probably it just removed me fromt he networks when i tryed to root. And then iu need to register into network again.
Thanks for alesa1988 for quick awnsers
You're welcome, I'm glad it is now resolved
