Hey whats going on guys? So this is my first post because usually everyone asks the same questions in the other threads. I found it weird when I would open some apps and it would have this turn dial thing and say "please wait to prepare app for use" or something similar. Decided to download Kasperky and see what it found. It found 4 threats all in my system memory. I tried deleting it but it wouldnt let me. I have my iMac with me in my apartment. The windows comp I used to root is at my parents house. Is there any way to fix this? Im hurtin' :crying:.
Thank you in advanced!
GS3 and Mac do not play nice together. I had to resort to bootcamp.
As amazing as macs are, this is a biiig downer.

I know there is Rom toolbox that can flash a new Rom on your device reverting it back to either stock or a Rom of your choice that's all through the phone you can try that if you are rooted.
Or you can use the free version of mobile Odin and flash a new Rom etc

HELP. I have been trying to use GTG's ultimate unbrick and retun to stock for 4 days now. I got phone second hand and thought i was getting stock but rooted then found out he actually deleted preinstalled apps!!! I purchased this phone to get the OTA GB upgrade and can't until returned to stock. I installed the samsung drivers got confirmation from my computer , got to putting phone in download mode..which it does but ODIN will not recognize device so nothing shows in COM. I went through the steps anyway...nothing!! debugging on, debugging off, antivirus on, off.. I don't understand. computer..XP said drivers installed. won't work in DL mode. I try to install drivers again PC says already installed. I went to a friends with a brand new pc with win 7. "found new hardware, installing drivers. same thing...NOT RECOGNOIZED ....I ran into this very issue when trying to upgrade my captivate...get into DL then NOTHING. i AM FAIRLY NEW AT THIS BUT NOT STUPID. i read others that have same issue but i find no fixes.

I am using Odin from the unbrick app. Don't really know how to use a different version. Using the OEM USB cord. Funny thing when i go to control panel to uninstall previous drivers...they aren't in the list but when i search I find all kinds. When i try to install new ones it says they are already there and to uninstall first. Anyone know if when i do the search and they come up can I delete from there??

Nope. I give. Just bout ready to throw phone and computer down the street. Just tried those other drivers. Computer recognizes phone in other modes...so does Odin but that doesn't matter if it won't in download mode!! !.

Try Heimdall. Odin stopped working for me also and once I started using heimdall it's great and faster than odin

Heimdall under Linux works great for me - no clue how well it works in Windows.
It seems like Odin is pretty screwy and requires all sorts of settings Heimdall doesn't.

Also what windows are you using? I have XP and only the files for heimdall I have are for XP.
Are you still trying to get back to stock or unbrick?

So you were able to get back to stock? Have you had titanium backup? Best way to save and restore apps.
I'll try to get something to you for Heimdall if you Havnt found it in the morning

I'm running gs2usr's PA 2.21 as my daily driver which I absolutely love. Today I found out that my company is pushing out RIM's Mobil Fusion which isn't going to play nice with a rooted phone. Is there any way to spoof Fusion into believing my phone isn't rooted, or un-root it and still run PA 2.21? Or am I stuck with a boring phone running stock ICS?
I don't understand how a BES program would interfere with a rooted phone...
My understanding is that it's not so much that it'll mess with the phone as I won't be able authenticate on the server and I won't be able to access the corporate tools I need. Such as email.

Found a work around on this. I have two nandroid backups. One which is stock ics which I use at work and one PA which I use when I don't have to work. Kind of a dual boot option. And let's the flasher in me keep on flashing.
PS. For anyone who cares, rims Mobil fusion will not connect to the rim server on a rooted phone. I've personally confirmed this.

I've been working on rooting my phone 4 a couple of days, thought I had accomplished all I needed and then realized that I was still s-off. my ultimate goal is to downgrade to froyo and then upgrade with unrEVOked to Jellybean. The biggest problem I have is that my windows pc is flipping out on me and all I have is a mac. I also have a newborn and can't even begin to try and figure out vmware or dualbooting or anything. My wife's already having a hard time with me trying 2 finish rooting my droid. I've spent hours reading everything I can (still very much a noob, don't understand terminal, c prompt, or flashing) and have probably been just really lucky getting to where I'm at. Other posts I've read are wither windows only, s-on, or not 2.3.5. Help, I'm desperate!! I really don't want 2 have 2 pay the guy on FB either. Any help at all is greatly appreciated since I know how valuable time is 4 everyone.
Thanks in advance!

Why do you want to lose S-Off? You should probably wait for some time until you can donate some time to this, distractions can be extremely annoying on OSes like Android.
Mostly because I've been having issues with a couple of apps not being able to work because of s-on. Maybe you're right though, I need to take some time with it. Got my Windows back up but it still doesn't help since my usb connection with my phone's not working. Tried multiple cables, renamed usb slot, downloaded most recent drivers, but nada.

I just tried to load a cyanogen mod and got a bootloop... Still think I've messed something up. Yay for Titanium Backup.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm about to factory reset and try again if there's no other way. Thinking it might be a good idea since my usb is crapped out.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
If your USB slot(on the phone) is broken,you're pretty much screwed. Try posting in the evo 4g forums,they might help. And I don't understand what you mean by loading a cyanogenmod. Do you mean from the recovery?
Finally got everything working. My usb's data connection was hosed, different one worked. Windows is back up. Successful root to 2.3.7. Now to upgrade. Is there a way to get to ICS or jellybean from here?

My sidekick has been recently just replaying the start-up screen. Once in a while it'll fully boot but then it just shuts off after a few seconds. I haven't messed around with it at all so I can't think of what may be causing this. If anyone could help that would be amazing. Thanks a lot!
Could be many things, if you debugging enabled try to get a logcat. Or if you don't mind loosing your data use hiemdall or Odin to flash back to stock fully

Do I not need to be rooted for odin?
Nope, just put phone in download mode. If unfamiliar on how to use this I suggest hiemdall, Adam Outler made a one click hiemdall package which you can find in the first page or so of developer section, very very easy to use

The stock phone has issues id suggest you root an flash a nexus rom should fix a lot of issues
If you need text or anything "backup your mobile" or something like that works amazing

Some users also have had issues with the display ribbon cable coming loose at the hinge. You may also want to check out your battery..
Did you install any new software? There are apps out there that will cause boot loops on Froyo/Gingerbread.
Good luck. I miss the keyboard on my Sidekick, but I don't miss that crummy Samsung abomination that powers it.
Hi guys, great forum btw.
I have an ainol novo8 discover, (a supposed quadcore ipad mini alternative)
I really need a new rom for this device as the stock firmware is terrible. However search as I mite I can find nothing.
The device is rooted and using es file explorer I tried to remove the bloatwarw, to no avail, uninstall unsuccessful is what im greeted by.
My first question is how do I uninstall these apps? I have dissabled them through settings-apps but I want them gone completely.
My second question is where do I start when working on a new rom for a device? Please note that ainol have yet to release the source code for the ainol discover.
Anyway guys thank you all for your time and patience, and please be aware im a newbie to all this so please do try to simplify your answers.

You have to give some time for people to reply lol, check out Rom Toolbox, you can uninstall everything is you want.
in the upper right is a box "Type to find your device" put your device in there and it will take you to your phone, from there you can access the info you are looking for.
Fair point, sorry.
Just very frustrating device.
Ainol havent released there firmware yet anyway so I guess theres no way of creating a rom without it.
Thankyou btw for mentioning rom toolbox, with that es file manager and a factory data reset I managed to get rid of all of the bloatware (that I know of ) off the device.
