Some of you might know that I work for Verizon sales. I have had 4 inc2 come in this week all with the same issue. The phones will not boot past HTC screen. Factory reset freezes in bootloader. Have tried flashing a ruu but it freezes also. All of my customers phones have been stock unrooted. Any ideas as to what it could be.

Sounds to me like they bricked trying to root. Flashing an ruu theoretically should fix it but there may be a problem with the boot image

I thought the same but I really doubt that.

I wouldn't doubt it becausethere are very few things that just randomly hard brick a device. I have heard that otas sometimes cause them but it is really late for someone to be getting an ota on this device.

Does it just not turn on at all? Sounds like your Bluetooth is not functional if it doesn't even work in stock ota

I doubt its bad luck nine dif phone I'm doing something wrong I'm sure but wat cause I even went back to completely stock no root or anything took the ota same thing no bluetooth
Edit: I should also add that I'm new to samsungs and odin/mobile odin etc. I've dealt mostly with htc
Edit: i got 2 more first one i update to ics ota no bluetooth 2nd one i got was already ics with working bluetooth i downgraded to el29 then did the same process as all the other phones but this one works????
Edit: ok so the one phone I got that was already on ics Bluetooth works but its white my personal phone is black I wanted to keep it black but have Bluetooth working so I swap motherboards but then Bluetooth didnt work once it was in the black housing nor did the white one anymore I restored them both to el29 then upgraded back to ics now Bluetooth works on the white phone again with the motherboard from my black phone but still dont work on my black phone even though the mother board in my black phone worked in the white housing, I then realized if I put the motherboard from any of the other phones ive tried in that white housing Bluetooth will work. Is it the antenna? If so y would i have so many with bad antennas plus they all work on gb

Anybody know how to get rid of this "no Sim card" notification? Sprint's GS3 version doesn't use a SIM card.
But no matter what I do, I can't seem to get rid of it. Even tried flashing different ROMs, and restoring previous nandroids that I backed up before I started getting that notification. No dice. What's the deal?
94 views, and not one other person has dealt with this.

I just don't get it. I even backed up my internal sd card and did a factory data reset, and it still won't go away!!
All I know is that this happened right after I used the wipe cache/dalvik cache feature in Rom Tool Box pro (which I hadn't used before) because I was about to flash a new Rom. And after it booted up again, it just appeared and hasn't gone away.

There is an option under mobile connections in the cm10 builds where you choose where your connection data lies. There is a NV and SIM option. This may be the cause.

Actually, that did nothing. I saw the setting. But it doesn't really do anything in terms of getting rid of that "no sim card" notification. Sigh.
I just can't understand why I'm getting that blasted notification for no sim card. I'm on Sprint for crying out loud!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
So I've been trying for the last 24+ hours or so to remove this "no sim card notification. And I just flashed a leaked TW JB rom, LIG. And this one doesn't show a constant "no sim" notification. But it does show it in the lock screen. Ha! Jeez, this is driving me nutz.

Another possibility is that you're flashing a rewritten T-mobile rom and they never figured out the sim card issue themselves. The earlier leaked TW JB rom was leaked from a sim using carrier. Try downloading the LIF one or a previous ICS version. That or just go straight CM10 if you don't have 4G in your area.

Sprint phones do have SIM cards iirc... they are just built in and internal and are not ment to be accessible... can you make any phone calls? Other then 911.

Ok, so I completely wiped my phone, unrooted, returned to stock, did the hands free activation code, and still, when i rebooted the phone, it still has the "no sim card" notification. I'm completely fresh out of ideas.
I even spent two hours on the phone with Sprint techs and deactivated and reactivated my phone. They gave me all kinds of codes and proceedures to troubleshoot the phone, and still, no avail.
This is hands down, the weirdest thing I've ever encountered on an Android CDMA device. Makes no sense what so ever. Im just going to have to live with that pesky "no sim card" notification with every rom I boot. At least until I switch to Tmo. I'm done with CDMA.
I only found one other guy with this same problem, I pm'd him, but hasn't responded yet. I hope no one else geta this problem. It's just been the biggest headache.
*The pic below is after I unrooted and returned to stock. And still, there you'll see that fabulous "no sim" notification that I can't clear out* (sigh, sadness)

The only one i was on was Freegs3, i think it's L8 based, when it happened. Used the clear cache/dalvik cache feature in Rom Toolbox Pro, and when it re-booted, that's when it appeared.

Just wondering few things this device will be for a 12 years old kid that is addicted to social media and blablabla... Will this device be good to ditch his ipod ? Hes not really a gamer and how is battery life on this phone ?
Where is battery thread so i can get an idea...
Any known issue I should be aware of ? Thanks..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Locked bootloader. Battery life is fine if you set up an app like juice defender I can get two days. Would be much better for social media then an iPod because of Timescape which if I'm not mistaken encompasses Twitter facebook and some other social media items in one place. I've dropped the phone multiple times from different heights with just a body case from rock the quicksand edition and it's fine. Cleans up easy from smudges on the screen easily enough. Also has a micro sd slot if he wants lots of pics games music apps and so on
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
well definitely a very important issue for me, or maybe that exists in every android device: if it runs out of memory, it has a very big chance closing the app you are CURRENTLY using/navigating. i mean seriously wtf.. another huge issue is the drop calls, which happens randomly, so another seriously wtf.. i think i will go to a sony store and ask for an exchange and then see what happens..
for social media, i think windows phone can handle it in a more reliable way, but ion integrate more stuff in its apps
Odd I never drop calls and with a 16gb sd card I wont run out of space either lol

Could someone link me to battery thread please ? Couldn't find it and yeah for 150USD cannot ask more out of this phone it is going to be some good fun anyone knows if the Rogers version can be unlocked to work whit videotron ?? Searched a bit couldn't find an answer..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have been very pleased with my Ion. I would recommend you pick up a unlocked LT28i if you can swing it. But even if it is a locked version you can run the newest H firmware that I have found is very stable. As for social stuff I think its one of the best out there. Its the only device I know off that has Facebook built into the firmware (well except for its siblings). Battery has been very acceptable in my opinion. I on average get a full day or more before a recharge and even with very heavy use you can still get 8 or so out of it. If I don't use it much it will go more than 2 days. I don't know that we ever had a battery thread as its not really a issue.
You may want to call whomever you buy the phone through att sometimes gives unlock codes for Sims for their models. As for a battery thread there really isn't One but more of a collective bunch of threads helping people with battery issues. I made a quick guide on the ion general to help save battery but to give you a rough estimate I went 20 hours with medium use and only hit 30%.

I wouldn't know what happens if you're going through T-Mobile but I assume you'll be fine if you're polite and explain you don't know what's going on, insist you've been with T-Mobile because of their excellent support if they make a big deal about it. Asurion the insurance company working with T-Mobile will take it anyways because they just fix it and that's it and resell it. And because you pay a monthly bill they're making money off of you regardless and you still have to pay a deductible.
But you SHOULD really return to stock.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4
If they see that the phone is rooted, they'll just simply do nothing for you. That's why people say "your warranty is now void".
Do what is mentioned above or take your chances and hope the T-Mobile rep that is assisting you doesn't check to see if the phone is rooted or check the flash counter.

Oh, simple enough then! Just go to SuperSU and unroot.
You could even try to temp unroot if you think that's all you'd need to do to hide it.
Befire you unroot though, do you have a custom recovery or kernel installed? If not, then run triangle away, then unroot. If you do, reflash root66, then use TA and unroot.

What's the problem with the battery?
I like the features I get with my stock build, but I'm considering a root for better control over my apps, (Greenify, permission control) so this thread seems like a relevant question.
Is Triangle Away and unrooting all it takes to make it appear that I haven't done anything?
The warranty issue is the only thing stopping me, it's saved me a bunch in the past...

I rooted my phone once, but I will never do it again after what happened. Last year I rooted my GS3 and about a week later, my local T-Mobile store called my phone unexpectedly. The guy on the other end told me I was due for a price drop, but I would have to come into the T-Mobile store to sign the paperwork before it would take effect. 2 days later I stopped in to get the discount on my monthly payment. The T-Mobile employee said he would have to look at my phone just to verify that it was the correct serial number. He went into the back room and said he would be back in a few minutes. 10 minutes later, a police officer walks in the store and asks my name. I'm totally freaked out wondering what the deal is. He asks me to turn around a puts hand cuffs on me. The officer told me I was under arrested and being charged with "rooting a mobile device". I was booked and released, but I would watch what you do to your phone. Good luck.

Rooting a device isn't illegal. They can kiss my ring. Think about it, if it was illegal why are root apps allowed on Google Play? And also, why is XDA not been shut down?
Methinks something else happened there. Maybe you voided their warranty and tried getting a discount which may be against the rules. Or something. But I know for a fact this is legal. Unlocking is a different story however.
So my advice, root on my brothers it's the only damn freedom we have left here in America.
