Doesn't kies have some sort of emergency recovery? I never had to use it but without the mj5 files how does kies work?

Wow, so if all they do is OTAs from now on does that mean that EFR will never work?

Not even stores have the update to help out. Att or best buys with the samsung kiosk. Which is worrisome. I'm used to being able to just go back to stock to solve these issues. Now it just hope nothing happens to you phone that requires a firmware install.

KIES 3 will work in the sense that you can use every thing BUT:
The EFR tool
&
The Update tool
Everything else with KIES 3
should be fine for your gn3.
And to reiterate, as I stated before... This thread is not about KIES itself, it's about the tool inside KIES: "EFR tool".

I think your barking up the wrong tree here. Kies restore is available for the note 3 for Tmobile, Verizon and Sprint. Leads me to believe At&t are the ones being a$$ holes.

But seriously guys no clue whats up, but heres what I got when trying to run:
Update Firmware Tool & EFR(Emergency Firmware Recovery) tool
All I know is I was hoping to use EFR to get back to MI5, and no matter if I
tried to use the "Update Tool" or "EFR tool"
the image I posted is the message I got.
BTW the image is from like 10 min ago.

I keep getting device not responding while trying to connect to kies. Is there a service on the phone that kies needs to be running? I froze a bunch of stuff in TIBU and wonder if I froze something that it needs.

unsettling and upsetting.

Hey Freak- Keep us posted on your progress. I can't believe Samsung or AT&T would disable the Emergency Recovery in Kies. It seems to me it would lessen the amount of warranty returns. This phone is looking less desirable with each roadblock we encounter.

I found the service that was causing my issue. You need to have wssyncmlnps enabled for Kies to make the connection. I had froze it because it was using a lot of battery.

but this shouldnt make a difference using Kies. if the phone is soft bricked you would not be able to access this anyway. I went to best buy and the samsung kiosk. they called up samsung and the rep told him that the firmware was not supported/released for kies or any download interface. att could not do it, best buy could not do it. they had to just replace the phone.
Which i do think is stupid. Why have so many replacements when you can just release the firmware and same your reps time and money on the replacements.

RSD Lite and Fastboot. Got the files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853522. Also I didn't want to share specifics until we got the OP's phone figured out and fixed, which we did.
That happened to me the other morning it was bad. I used the firmware before the latest update through rsdlite and voila it came back to life! I wish we can use beats installer but sadly we cant. At least we didnt hard brick the device.

Hope this helps
Okay to start off I have bricked my phone through beats installer, I was pretty ticked, as most of you are. I brought my phone back to life and want to put everything I did to do so. I will put everything I did, if it actually helped or not, you would have to ask a Dev. Before I start thanks to Matt for the help.
Okay the first thing I did was go into recovery and wipe EVERYTHING (including cache)
I then attempted to flash the software from my sd card (I was desperate and had no idea what to do lol)
After a little more reading and finally getting my phone to charge (i wanted to let it charge for a while) I found out about RSD Lite (http://www.tucows.com/preview/853731)
I booted into my bootloader (fastboot) and connected to my computer. I had already opened RSD Lite and it recognized my phone. I then selected the software for my phone I found on a thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853522) and started the process. It around 10 min, so be patient.
A guy I talked to did the exact same thing for at least 2 hours and it finally went through. Keep at it and don't give up, hopefully this will help you get your phone working again

Same here. I guess you have to do clean install (did factory reset after update). I will try to backup my data with native app and to do factory reset. Maybe lag will be gone.

[Q] Help, Google account and play store don't work anymore!

Hi everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 mini and rooted.
The Google play store and the youtube used to function normally before the root, but after I rooted my device I opened the Play Store and it said "No Connection" but I had internet connection, the browser, facebook and these kind of apps worked normally. I tried to remove my google account from my device and tried to re-add it. Had no luck in adding it, it said Can't establish a good connection! even though my device had a good internet connection.
This happened also to my brother's Galaxy Wonder (Cm10 rom and rooted) but I fixed it by re-flashing the rom and everything went just fine afterwards.
My device has the stock rom and I don't want to change it.
What should I do? Please help me!
Model number: GT-I8190
My android version is 4.1.2 and baseband version is I8190XXAMD3
Stock Rom and Kernel.

I've also read now that freedom is not compatible with any play store 4.x.x.
What can I do to reverse this? I uninstalled it but nothing works.
Maybe it's time to install stock firmware again & try a fresh login with nothing else installed.

Ok if I have got no other choice. But how?
Settings then factory data reset?
Do a factory reset, if that don't help you I would recommend you download your AMD3 for the i8190 and install with Odin.
Download your firmware from here look under i8190 4.1.2 then your country. Don't know where your from, so don't know which country you got to pick. If UK then pick BTU.

One more question though, which one should I choose?
- I8190XXAMD3 / OXAAMD3 DBT Germany
- I8190XXAMD3 / XEGAMD1 Germany
- I8190XXAMD3 / OXXAMD1 BTU UK
- I8190XXAMD3 / OXXAMD1 TPH Portugal
Look on this map to see which one is closer
Israel is marked with number 5 on the right down.

Yea but it's not AMD3, or it doesn't matter?
You can try Turkish firmware if you like if that don't work for you then roll back to German AMD3. Strange though no Israeli firmware, because every other country has there region.

What error message exactly are you getting?
How do you know it's because your rooted?
Did you try the recovery method described in the root thread?

The error message is shown in the screenshot attached.
I installed the new gear manager 1.4.1
I can revert back to the older versions and they work fine.

Just updated my galaxy gear. AT&T rooted and working perfectly fine.
I tried to unistall and still same problem when I install the new version. It even happens when the watch is off too. I think the new version detects if you have a rooted phone.

The gear has nothing to do with it. The new software will not open and gives me that error message telling me that my device is not compatible.

Ah, your phone is rooted.
Isn't there a way to root your phone so it's impossible to detect?

I don't believe so. I can do that if I make it back to stock so it doesn't show that I previously rooted it.

I just updated mine while being rooted. I had to uninstall updates then then update. Try that and see if it helps. Had to reboot as well. When I just tried the typical update like normal it kept locking up my phone, that's when I rebooted uninstalled then started over like when u first pair your gear. Everything works and I'm on the new version and rooted gear as well. Last time I did the update I had to reset my gear and lost root but this time it didn't.

How does one update firmware??

Okay, I'm a Noob.
I just downloaded the new GG software update, but in order to view full notifications, apparently, one is also supposed to update the firmware.
How the heck do I do that??
(thank you in advance if you can help)

When you see the word reboot on it you have to tap the button quickly like 5 or 6 times and that'll take you to the options select recovery by pressing the button again and hold for 3 seconds no more no less it can be tricky.

I see the firmware d/l in this thread and will do that later on today. So can we use this update on the USA GG or is it region specific? Also how do we update the GG Manager software on my GN3? I cannot find the stupid Samsung App store on my GN3. Thanks again.
I have a Galaxy Gear watch from Sprint. It is currently on MII firmware. Am I able to update this even though the firmware is UK?

Yes you can. I was on the same thing(got mine at best buy) and used the UK version which apply to all the US versions it does not matter if you get it from sprint or att it's the same. The update is a lot better.
