Don't waste your time!

Hello Everyone,
If any of you see all these posts out on the net about unlocking the boot-loader of the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini SM-G730A do yourself a favor keep going on to the next article, you'll saving yourself allot of grief! All of them are full or bologna to put it frank! I have broke it twice now and am convinced it isn't worth the trouble. I have found that odin and the original image can be restored and put the phone back in working order. I have also been able to root the device with little trouble but that is it. Anything else and the unit just keeps rebooting in recovery mode and then you have to wipe it out again and start over. I, on the other hand, have been successful at rooting and unlocking my Motorola Atrix HD MB886 and it is working great. But the Samsung is a for sale or a drawer phone because it is not going to be unlocked anytime soon I fear.

[Q] xPosed caused signal loss??

After installing xposed on my S5, I kept losing service. Sometimes wouldn't even realize for a while (had my daughter call me on my work phone asking what's up with my phone)
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem or if it was caused by a specific module I used?? I had most of the Galaxy ones installed as well as the Framework (only mod that worked was to add custom text to my notification bar)

No signal issues here. I'm using wanam, app settings, gravity box (to swap recents/menu), greenify, isis root bypass and g touchwiz.

Same issue here on xperia Z1, android 4.4.4. Installed Xposed, activate framework and reboot -> signal loss. Restoring ROM, ejecting and then inserting SIM card did not help

It's not xposed... I went back to stock unrooted and the problem still existed. Called AT&T and they had me go to get a new SIM card... it's doing it still today GRRRRR I've gotta get rid of my custom boot image (flashing android) and Dr. Who sound byte on boot then I'm calling them back and getting a warranty replacement. I'm honestly severely dissatisfied with this phone. When it's time for an upgrade I will NOT be purchasing another Samsung device.

I would just flash back to stock & see if it comes back. If that doesn't work, the radio may have just coincidentally gone bad in the middle of modding. I see a lot of S5's & no problems with signal so I wouldn't give up on Samsung yet if this is your only issue.
BTW if you go into your settings, about device, status screen, does your imei still show up?

That's not the only issue...I'm upset about the bootloader being locked and the charging port flap no longer stays shut.
My IMEI is still there it only works on WiFi now AT&T is sending me a warranty replacement in 4 business days I'm about to use my BF's old S4 in the meantime

I feel you on the bootloader issue.. everyone here does lol. I haven't seen the flap problem but you're definitely not having the best luck with the S5. Hopefully it's a fluke but make sure you're completely stock when you send the old one back b/c if they find any evidence that you voided the warranty (flashing, rooting, etc) they don't notify you, they just bill your account $400 and keep the phone.

Oh yeah I odin'd it yesterday, it's back to stock completely. Didn't even install an app on it since it has no signal LOL. I'm using my BF's old S4 and running 4.4.4 AOSP ROM right now... I don't know if I'll want to go back to my S5 when it comes in... Oh how I missed AOSP

Did you try one of the USSD codes for a Hard reset on your old S5 (*2767*3855#)? Sometimes they fix a little bit more than a normal factory reset.

I thank you. Yea I'm finding it hard to get signitures as I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, just don't want my info allover the net. So if you would help spread the word amongst the developing community that would help, this applies to anyone who cares about what we do here. Again I thank you for your support.

That is not part of stock android. You'll have to install an app that allows this. There are many different apps and launchers that will let you have a small bubble next to an icon with a counter. Do some searching on the Play Store.

Flashing MM firmware via Odin

I'm considering flashing firmware via odin but it's been a while have a few simple questions someone could help me with.
I've got tablet from O2 and it's SM-T715 version.
Can I flash any firmware?
Are there any issues with MM update?
Will I lose warranty?

I got a S2 a few days ago and it was stuck on an EE version of 5.0.2 and said there were no updates. :crying:
I then followed this thread below to flash MM using Odin. It was a breeze and is certainly worth it.

Good Luck. :highfive:

I don't know. What I do know is that I wasn't paying so much for a tablet still stuck in the dark ages.
Maybe someone with more experience can enlighten us?

Fair enough does you're data work fine, make calls and are there any issues?

I've not encountered any issues but it was midnight when I flashed it so I've had little time to inspect.
Can't comment on the data as I use it Wifi only even though its the 715. (Tip to anyone using a 715 wifi only, put on airplane mode then turn on wifi to stop cell battery drain even without a sim card in the device.)
Way less bloat on MM though!

Took the plunge and data calling etc works.
Also knox wasn't tripped so warranty is OK.
Just bought mine few days ago.

Verizon Galaxy S8 Root

Well I happened upon an old S8 sitting in a drawer (G950U - Verizon - Android version 9) and am desperately trying to have some fun and root this thing. I cannot for the life of me find a good guide/video that works. Can this phone actually even be rooted? Not sure if anyone will even see this post but figured I'd give it a try. Thx!

I have a verizon s8 too and looking to root also, update here if you find answer!

My wife hates I wont upgrade. My s8 still going g strong (2nd model I got through insurance like 3 years ago).
Anyways, I know that FOREVER we weren't able to root
SM-G950U.
Then a different root came out where it's one you have to do on a PC. They claim the s8 has a 10% brick rate (doing everything correctly)...which steered me away. If I do everything correct I want 0%.
Tonight, I was researching and besides coming across a few posts on here...aupposidly our model is on the list of a 1 click root app.
-kingroot=no
-oneclickroot=yes
I will be trying in a few days and will update this thread (and a few older ones I saw people asking in)
