I cannot understand what the hell is happening to my Galaxy III. I bought it about 3 months ago and there is no problem until now.
Two days ago, suddenly the phone became frozen. I turned it off and could not start up again.
I almost got crazy with this issue.
This phone I bought from my friend, who brought it to me from USA. Quite new, in box ! Of course !
Now no where in my country accept to do A/S for this phone. And I am afraid that I have to spend much money to repair this new phone and it can be scratched during fixing.
Actually, I also do not know where I can have it fixed.
Getting around on the internet, I came here to ask for your advices, Galaxy III experts. Please help me !
I knew that someone already experienced this issue with Galaxy II, and it was so bad that he just could sell that dead phone with very cheap price.
I really regret not buying an HTC One X when I saw it. That time I was very confused between choosing a cheaper one (HTC) and the more fashionable one (Galaxy III). But my ****ing friend persuaded me to buy Galaxy III from his shop in USA. And now, that ****ing guy disappeared. I cannot contact him. Is it possible he cheated me with something fake ?
Can you explain what happens when you try to turn on your phone? Does the screen come on? Bootscreen?
I read an article about gs3 dying randomly, and samsung replacing even rooted ones no questions asked when this happens. Maybe this something else?

Well, i'm going to uy a new phone this year, and i get trapped in this fight, should i take the iPhone 5 or the Galaxy S3? Or should i wait to the next year (I am in Brazil) and take a Nexus 4?
I'm not the type that switch phones with big frequency and i would be pleased if you take that in consideration. I will be very thankful for your answers.

Hello XDA!
I opened this account to say thank you.
Last week I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile, m919) and began rooting it. The guides I read made no mention of the KNOX issue and I wound up with a soft-bricked phone.
I can't even begin to describe how I felt. I was literally sick to my stomach thinking I had just bricked a brand new phone.
Thanks to the guides and discussions found here on XDA (and a few on other forums, but mostly here) I was able to recover my system to stock and new phone is up and running again. This whole thing has been an emotional roller coaster, but also a learning experience. I feel much more informed now and confident that I have a place to find answers when I have a question.
I owe you all a big thanks.
I opened this account to thank you and be able to click the thank button from now on.
AND, I'll go out on a limb here and say thank you on behalf of thousands, if not millions of other lurkers who have gotten help here and just not taken the time to say thanks.
You guys ROCK. I don't even want to think about what would be happening to me right now had I not found this place.
Cool.
You can give back to the community by helping others who own that phone and run into similar issues in the Q&A forum. :good:
Your welcome
Always good to hear a happy outcome
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
i know the feeling, had the GS4 for 3 days before i soft bricked it.
had no idea that the update that recently came the day before locked the bootloader.
After searching threads here for a bit figured it out and was able to get to stock and "undo" my stupidity.
XDA , its devs and contributors are a priceless resource.

Hello peoples,
Title says it all really. Bought a used phone, apparently the seller stopped paying the equipment contract at Tmobile after or shortly before they sold it to me. After 30 days of me using it with no problems, it suddenly couldn't get a signal at all, and the tmobile store said it was "locked for nonpayment" from the original owner. They apologized, said they cant remove the lock, and gave me a loaner phone to use for 2 weeks while I figure out getting a new phone.
I have seen ebay sellers who offer to remove a phone from the blacklist, but they want you to DL software on your pc and allow remote access etc. All stuff i wouldn't do in a million years.
If there is any way to fix this problem so I can actually use my expensive phone, please reply here or send me a message. thanks for any and all help.
(The phone is a Tmobile Galaxy S5, running cyanogenmod 12.1 but can be flashed back to stock to fix this problem if possible).

Thanks for the idea, I will post there
So a month and a half ago I found a galaxy s7 in the street, since then I've advertised online and around town and have only got responses from thrives. After waiting long enough I've decided to try unlock it myself as it is blocked by the original owner, I was wondering if there is anyway of resetting it by fast boot commands or any other way ? Please help, shame to let such a good phone go to waste.
