This is my first post, so If i did so in an incorrect way i apologize. I have been looking for hours and cannot find a specific fix for my issue. I am at a loss and pretty desperate for help. I have BROKE my phone and cannot seem to do anything to fix it.
First my phone had been running successfuly for a cpl months on a CM10 nightly rom came up and it came up and said No sim card. I read the forums and thought that by installing a different rom i could fix it. When i went to install AOKP JB build 4 through TWRP recovery. I mounted my drive through USB and windows said it had to be formatted (ie it was corrupted). I did so and loaded the zip file over
I went to install the zip and did the normal process and flashed the boot.img but upon reboot got suck on the unicorn initiating swagger screen. Looked at the forums and found that this was due to needing to factory reset. The problem is that I tried to factory reset and TWRP says I have no factory reset and am not able to do so
I am currently stuck. I had to reformat my sd again and I have no rom installed. I have a slab of hardware with nothing working. I am beyond my capabilities and have no clue how to fix this. Please help.
don't factory reset in bootloader it will corrupt your sdcard. try formatting it in windows. or try this method [How to] Fix corrupt/unmountable internal storage on the HTC One X/XL
I had a similar problem trying to update the Jellybam rom with the wrong boot.img.
I had no access to the sd and the sim card. I solved my problems by flashing a new recovery then fixing the partition and installing a sense based rom and my sim card started working again.

have you tried RUU'ing at all yet?

I know there are other similar posts on XDA, but i recently rooted my friend's Captivate and flashed the Cyanogenmod-161 Nightly. I am running the same ROM on my Captivate and have had no problems at all, but on my friend's phone his SIM card is not recognized and in the about phone settings it says unknown for the baseband. I've looked around and have learned that its probably because something went wrong with the radio/modem, but I don't know how to fix this. I've tried flashing back to JF6, but I get the same issue. Step-by-step instructions and a link to where I can download the correct radio/modem would be awesome. Thanks.
Have you tried doing a full wipe then flashing a new rom (before any technical stuff come into play)?
Yes, first I manually deleted all of the folders on the SD card (not the root though) then I did a factory reset from the settings menu. Then from the clockwork recovery menu I wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache partition, and wiped Dalvik cache. After all that I flashed the latest Cyanogenmod nightly (164) and it still said unknown baseband. Is there a different way I need to be hard resetting the phone?
If I were to make a nandroid backup of my phone, and restore it on my friends phone, would that fix the problems?
I have been reading this site for awhile, even have the paid version on my phone, but have never posted before so I cant post in the dev forum. Anyways heres my issue, I used the NV flash to flash my G2X. Everythings been working great with weapon. Then tonight, I decided to install some fonts and boot animations. After like the third font, I got a low memory error. I took out the sd card and put in a bigger one. I moved my rom manager app from the phone to the larger sd card. Went to restart my phone and now it is stuck in a boot loop. I tried putting in the smaller sd card and the same thing is happening with it. I tried to use the nv flash to flash back to stock and still same results. Any suggestions?
Have you wiped before installing zips?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
yes
Should I be wiping the dalvik as well?
Im an idiot
I got it, since I had moved clockwork mod and everything to the other sd card, I didnt have a rom on the phone. I just downloaded one to the old sd card and it booted. Cant do nothing with the larger sd card as it is unwritable one that came with samsung epic
Just to let you know posts should like should not be in the dev forum and should not be in this forum either. This type of issue should be posted in the Q&A forum. That is what it is for.
Roms are not run off your sd card. They have to be flashed to the phone's NAND.
So my phone's warranty just ended and I thought I'd give rooting it a shot. I had no problem getting CWM on it. And then I thought I'd upgrade to Jelly Bean. So I searched around for a good guide and ended up with this one. Now it appears I'm stuck on a LiquidSmooth bootscreen. I've waited at least 20 minutes, to no effect.
Now I don't have an external SD card, but I do have a USB cord. So I went in to CWM and tried the "Mount USB" option only to get the "ums lunfile" error.
Did I just brick my phone? Can this be solved with an external SD card? Am I just installing the LiquidSmooth zip wrong? I've looked around the forums and don't think I've found my problem elsewhere.
Thanks very much.

Pretty new to this myself and I had a similar problems with CM9 stable 9.1. I believe it had to do with the version of CWM that I was using. After I was stuck in the bootloop as it sounds you are, I went back into CWM and restored the nandroid backup I made prior to the installation of the ROM. After that I updated to CWMR Touch v6.0.1.4 and installed ParanoidAndroid. That install went fine. Due to a few issues I went back to CM stable 9.1 and everything is working well for me with it. Good luck and just keep reading here and searching for the issue you have on Google.
First, here is a great guide you should read to see if you didn't miss a step.

One seem to be related to your problem.

Also, you can try to wipe cache and delvik cache + factory reset then re-flash your .zip
As for using microSD cards, that how I proceed myself. copy .zip to microSD then put it in the phone and flash from externalSD, never have an issue and also I can store few ROM and some Kernel to flash when I want since I just become a flashocolic when I discover this forum.
Good luck!

Hi all
I hope that I am posting in the correct place
I need help with my Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
Recently the phone died on me, it was stock rom and with the updates through some of the apps, the phone stopped working correctly. I don't use the phone for making calls, etc, but need it for pictures and a few other apps. The phone is from T-mobile.
I tried to reset the phone and that worked until all the updates were back on and then back to the same problem.
So I decided to put on a custom rom on the phone.
I have tried the following roms:
cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-d2tmo
I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME
RevolutionaryS5-V3
Slim-d2tmo-6.0.1.alpha.0.1-UNOFFICIAL-20160516-1346
I first installed CWM recovery and then transferred the roms over to the external sd car (also the internal card), went to boot manager (vol up) and installed the files.
It looked like the installation worked but when selecting reboot, the phone would not come back on.
I then loaded up Kies and reset the phone back to factory defaults and only then does the phone load back up after reboot.
Every time I try the custom rom - I run into the same problem
At first I thought the phone was bricked and found info about the jtag and then found something about using an SD card with the following image installed on it - tmobile-T999_4.3_debrick
With the SD card in the phone I can boot to either menus and also able to get the phone to boot to the slim-d2tmo rom. But when I pull the SD card, the phone won't boot. Nothing, no power, nada
I am not sure what I did wrong, followed the direction on the site and thought I did it correctly.
Not sure if I deleted some file, or partition needed or what. I would greatly appreciate some help with this.
Also I would like a custom rom that is stable and fast. I don't need all the bells and whistles but one thing I would like and that is for the camera to be able to take pictures using voice. I know the stock rom allows for this. Not essential but preferred.
Please help with detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance.
After writing this I just loaded up T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_T999UVUEMJC_HOME.tar and managed to get the phone back up and running. Then tried the cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-d2tmo - which I kinda like but it will not boot up without the SD card in. I can manage to get the phone booted with the SD card and get into the new custom rom, but I have to keep pulling the battery, insert the SD card and then try to boot. Don't think it should work like this
Please help.

You did the right thing with the SD card, the issue with it not booting with SD card removed is not an issue, that's the way its supposed to work. After restoring boot with the SD card you've got to do a few other steps to correct the device so that it boots without SD card and then you've got to return the SD card to normal function to use it as storage again.
There's a thread in the Verizon Galaxy S3 I535 forum for unbricking with the SD card and the further instructions to restore full functional boot without SD card.

I appreciate the help. This should work on my phone even thought it is a T-Mobile and it is a SGH-T999 ?
Any chance you know of the link to fix the booting issue?
I really need to get this sorted out. I am about to trash the phone and get some cheap $80 best buy special just to use the apps I need.

The method is the same, you just use your debrick.img for your device instead of the Verizon debrick.img.

So I feel like such a dufus.
I think I know what I did wrong. After going back and forth reading everything, which all looked like what I had originally, I realized that everyone was talking about loading the zip files from the sd card. Thought I did this, but what I was doing was loading them from the external SD card.
So after having put the stock rom back on the phone (and basically gave up) I decided this morning to try one last time.
I downloaded:
OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170127-2232-d2tmo
open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro
Connected the S3 to my PC and copied both files to the phone. Did not have the external SD card plugged in.
Then went to boot menu (vol up) and cleared the cache, davik and data. Installed from zip (local phone this time) and within 10 minutes (or less) the phone was up and running without any issues.
BAM - awesome.
Seemed too good to be true but worked like a charm.
I wonder if that was the problem with any of the other roms I tried?
Anyway, thanks to all for your help.

I don't know what you were having issues with but I've always flashed my ROMs from extsdcard. Unless I'm missing your meaning.

Then maybe it were the roms I was using. All the roms I tried would not boot my phone after installation. I had to add the following file to my external SD card -tmobile-t999_debrick
This was the only way I could get the phone to boot back up after I installed the roms.
Or maybe I was using the wrong roms - I have no idea.
I guess my thought process was not correct and that you don't have to put the roms on the internals storage and can use the external sd card to install the roms?

Typically, you install custom recovery then root then place new ROM on extsdcard then flash the ROM in recovery from extsdcard. Its actually recommended to keep your ROM zips on external if you have it instead of internal because if internal gets wiped or corrupted then you've lost your ROM zip. It's also recommended to create and store your nandroid backups on extsdcard.

Hey everyone,
I dropped my trusty G2 and decided to get a cheap G3 as a replacement.
After successfully flashing LOS I noticed the sim card doesn't get recognized.
Tried rebooting, reflashing, flashing an older nightly, nothing worked so far
I've read a thread about reflashing the radio firmware only, but that didn't seem to do anything for me

Several times I found that errors of that kind were fixed after flashing back the stock ROM and then flashing the custom ROM again, maybe it is worth a try, especially if the SIM card is working for the rest of the users of the custom ROM.
If you have made a nandroid backup via TWRP of the stock ROM (which always is recommended to have), simply flash back your backup of stock ROM via TWRP. If not, then have a look at this thread or simply google for other threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3054303
Two things I would try.
1:Take SD card out and format it on a Computer/PC.I use the free Minitool Partition Wizard for this,
https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
But be careful and make sure you are on the right drive as you don't want to wipe the Computer hard drives.
2;Do a,"Factory Reset" after wiping the Dalvik cache and the Disk Cache.
