I figure to keep people from posting threads after threads saying "please help I bricked my epic" I figured it be easier to have someone do it for them. Since I have plenty of time I figured I do this. If you would like me to root your device simply pm and I will give you instructions on how I will remotely control your pc (if I do it remotely then make sure you have a nonstock usb cable for example a blackberry micro usb) or you can send it to me. If you send via ups etc then you'll be paying for back and forth.*Disclaimer*if anything happens which more than likely WON'T its not my fault BUT will try my best to fix it.
I doubt this will take off but why not put it out there.

Not a bad idea... in my opinion if you can't figure out how to root it you don't need it rooted though. The rooting methods are easy enough and qbking has made some easy to follow videos for everybody... my 12 year old niece rooted her epic following the video and she is no techie in any way! If she can do it everybody can! Not a hit to you though. I commend your efforts!

While I applaud the objective of your kind motives, I have to say that if someone can't root their phone on their own, they don't need it rooted. You have to be able to troubleshoot to fix problems, which requires an understanding of what is happening on your device.

Id say thats noble, but i agree that if you can't learn to root it yourself then you don't really understand the gravity of what root access is capable of.
Second, if I send you my phone, and you root it, flash CWM and brick it them I'm SOL... And if it works before you touch it, but not after, then it would totally be your fault. You may not be liable, but your hands make it your fault.
anyhow cool idea, maybe find a way to guarantee or insure your work and i bet people would pay 10 or 20 bucks for rooting.

why are you making multiple threads about the same thing?
Yeah man...just use Odin and go back to stock D118...fairly easy.
@ luvjones305
I would've expected someone who has been here almost a year to know how to search or at least not to spam the forum with reposts.
The "official update" will probably suck anyways. I would just wait until one of the developers has a ROM ready. I'm sure it wont be long
uh huh
first of all yea i signed up a year ago it don't mean im on here 24 hours like i don't have a life an if you cant help don't post nothing on here go cry some were else an i already search through here
It is physically painful to read your posts, I mean come on "yea"? Seriously? And that wouldn't even be such a big deal if you weren't a total prick to everyone, whether they were legitimately trying to help you or not. I am hard pressed to think of anyone who is anywhere near as big a prick as you manage to come across as (assuming you're actually not a total prick when not protected by the anonymity of the "interwebs").

So that means the forums are segregated now? Gotta stay with your own kind and can't look at what's going on with other devices? I'm all over the sgs family, nexus boys, general, android and ot. It's kinda nice seeing dev from all over. Integration is good.
I don't deny that, just trying to avoid the off chance someone flashes a Rom not for their Galaxy S variant and has a "DOH!"moment
Haha hell no man. I've already spent the 2 bucks at radio shack for my jig. Only had to use it once. I mostly just trawl the themes and apps for other sgs's but I love watching people loose their minds when an ota hits like the op here. Lots of craziness in general for yall right now.

Anyone remember tazz from the Eris forums? Well he said he would consider deving for us. If we can get enough people interested in donating we could get him an inc2. If not its all good. Just a idea.
EDIT: tazz has agreed to dev of we can get enough interest and a phone. Right now it looks like it will be around $250-300 unless we can find a bad esn on. I'm hoping we have 25 ex Eris users who are willing to donate. Tazz said he has to learn the phone first but should be able to do it. I'm thinking a month or so from now we can achieve the goal of a new phone.
Those of you that dont think it is worth it, just look at all of his old roms for the Eris. His work speaks volumes of his ability and his # of people that use his roms shows how much he cares.
I will update this thread as people pm me with how much they are willing to donate. I won't give out names. Just how much. Once we have hit about $250 we will start to collect. Remember the xda honor system

No doubt. I'm very hesitant to begin rooting/roming this bad boy without a good stock rom to revert back to JIC.
That post was from October 25. Fyi. Not all of us can donate after spending 600+ on our own phones. Not being negative, just stating that this message can be read by other devs to get their attention. Why is everyone here focused on one dev when there are a handful now who are more than capable?

Yeah, that post is from October and he still don't have the phone even though he was the first one here and has done A LOT already without the phone in hand. If you don't know then don't chime in. You want something, well you gotta give something in return.
There were plenty of bounties going around for different devs and they got there's within a week even though they hadn't done anything yet for the phone.
I know there are a handful that are capable, but it's obvious they haven't done it yet, Have they?
FYI it was a suggestion for you to donate not a demand. You were asking to get a file and I pointed to the best way to get it.

It was just my opinion dude. I never asked for anything, just bumped the thread. it's unfortunate that he hasn't had enough bounty to get his phone while others did, but we still got a great ROM and kernel from them. They didn't run away with the money. I appreciate what bubby has done and have nothing against him. My statement about not being able to donate was just to share that I would if I could. I am aware I am not being forced. there are great devs here and wish they could all have devices to help us move forward. All we can do is wait, not rushing anything, but raising awareness for other interested devs that could help Bubby.

Her phone will not stay connected on a call for more than 5 minutes at a time. It constantly goes into Airplane mode, and she randomly has data drops.
I've put her on AOKP 4, Liquid smooth & Android Rev HD 3.0, with Stock & Franco #2 milestone. NOTHING WORKS.
It sucks because I have no problems with mine, other than a bit of lag here and there (which may have been fixed with the Trinity Kernel).
So shes done. Already up and purchased an HTC one S. I really want her to stay in the GN but I think its just left a bad taste in her mouth.
I'm just really trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with her phone.
I haven't tried the newest 4.0.4 that was released a few days ago, but I honestly doubt its gonna do anything. Suggestions???
Stock anybody? All the way stock with ugla4 or uglc1 radio? Trying to force roms perpetually in progress is a bad idea and your desire to force customization on her left her with a bad phone.
teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
It's probably defective, especially if you've tried the plethora of software options that people are likely to suggest. Careful buying things out of frustration, though, especially things that are brand new to the market. The One S is not immune to QC defects and such. For instace:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...phones-one-day-does-htc-have-qc-problems.html
Get her GNex replaced. Or let her just go with the One S, I'm sure it's a solid phone. There are tradeoffs that she may or may not care about when one decides to use a non-Nexus phone. Just make sure she knows.
Why would you buy your wife a Galaxy Nexus and unlock it? I'm going to assume she's not Android savy or knows what you're doing, but seriously a bad idea just asking for trouble.
Just saying.
Also, that's a hard issue.
Let her keep the One S and keep it Stock. Its a good UX and won't break on her. Personally, I wouldn't recommend a Nexus phone to someone such as your wife.

He may have unlocked it just to try some different solutions to fix or alleviate the problems they were having.
But yeah, I think the more appropriate thing to have done is just take it back and get a new one. You paid for a working phone, don't ever hesitate to keep taking it back until you get one that works as it should!
I have heard that several people with that problem have had their GN replaced and fixed the problem. When I got mine, the verizon rep specifically told
me that if I had that problem to bring it back to get replaced. I think they had a bad batch of phones....

Did you try just ... stock? If that's doesn't work, then it is clearly a hardware issue.
Normal users should use stock IMHO. It's can be frustrating hobby otherwise

That's like the first rule about "mod-club" never mod your friends phone, unless you want to trade him yours when his/hers brakes.

Go for it, no copyrights, trademarks or patents on it. Might want to double check with apple though. Lol.
teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.

Agreed. Let people figure out root for themselves. ESPECIALLY WIVES AND GIRLFRIENDS.!!

Like what others said just flash stock 4.0.4 for your wife and leave modding to your phone. I'm running stock and it's fast and stable.

Sneak a root and turn off super user global notifications. Just like horse back riding without a saddle.

Stock ICS is just so damn good too. Shes not gonna be getting a bad experience.
ok my poor x girlfriend's 13 year old son had a heart attack now he in a coma.. so sad 13 years old i dont get it?? well its not looking good at all they are taking him off the machine that helps him breath tomarrow... she got him a tmobile gs3 for xmas.. and she wants to go in his phone.. but he has that pass code to unlock screen if i factory reset it in stock recovery will that un do it? i feel so bad for her she lost the father of her son to drugs he od.. now this thanks
I'm having a hard time believing this story. For all we know, your a thirteen year old kid who has found/stolen an s3 that has a pass code on it and trying to find a way to use the phone.
Whether your story is true or not, there's only one way to find out if doing a factory reset from the stock recovery will work, right?

bro im 32 year old man and would NEVER make up a story like that..
I can kinda see where his skepticism is coming from tbh. I know Ive had a few occasions where someone one would try to get help with something questionable by telling me some crazy, hardly believable story (some pretty out there too!).
Most times folks will just post their question and explain later if asked, so when we see a story like yours it does cause some to wonder about the legitimacy. Call it being gun shy I guess, but we just don't want to see the knowledge we share be used for immoral, illegal, or malicious purposes. (Yes, people do try to "trick" us, on occasion).
Considering your level of activity on xda, it does make it easier to trust you though. But try to understand that when you say you would never make up a story like that, there are plenty who would, and all we have to differentiate and decide is your username and our intuition!
And since you'd figure it out eventually anyway, yes a factory reset, from stock recovery, will reset the device to an oob state, including any passwords and other security measures. It'll also wipe internal sdcard where pictures and other personally important data are often stored.
Sorry to hear about all of that btw. Will keep you in our prayers. Take care.

Hi
I don't know why you would post about a personal death but yes when you factory reset and go back to stock it erases all of your current data.

Like I said, your story may or may not be true. Your post seems like some kid wrote it. Seriously, a 32 year old calling people on the internet "bro".

To be fair, lots of people on xda, older and younger, use "bro".
And I agree with the questioning of posting about any personal tragedy, as I have seen people use it as a cover of sorts or to entice an answer by tugging on the heart strings, but I have also seen people legitimately post these things, both as an outlet, and in anticipation of being asked why they are trying to do a certain thing.
I'm not making a call here either way as there really is no way to know. But it would be more suspicious to me if it were from a day old account with only one post.
I'm not trying to argue, defend or attack any of you btw. Just felt it was a point worth mentioning is all.

I'm sorry to hear that. He's in a better place now, no more suffering.
As for getting into the phone as Doc said you can get rid of the password but all the data will get wiped as well.

Thanks.. im going over to see her in a bit... he loved his gs3.. so she wants to keep it as her phone now..thanks again boss
So sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine...
There are never any words good enough.
I know it's probably not the time to work on it but when you are ready to, there are a few threads I've seen here on xda that can help you bypass that lock. Not sure how intensive they are but they are there. In case you want to try and save any pictures or something...

I owe you an apology. I wasn't saying you were lying, its just that the thread is a little suspicious to me and there's people out there that will go to any extent to get what they want. Sorry for the loss and sorry for jumping to conclusions.
