[Q] HUGE problem after Kies/JB 4.1 Update! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I will try to make this short and sweet...
"backed up" phone prior to letting Kies update my phone.
apparently everything but my photos/videos was backed up. (stupid me for not double checking that AND the version it was updating to)
updated phone. phone is pretty much useless now. (EVERY SINGLE APP freezes and crashes eventually)
wont connect VIA USB... knows it is connected and so does the computer. computer now refuses to install (it tries) anything involving MTP. all other drivers are installed. Kies can see the device.. tell me how many photos... but by the time I try to transfer anything Kies or the USB app on the phone freezes and crashes.
ive tried everything under the sun that is basic. uninstall drivers.. uninstall kies... reinstall things.. reboot. safe mode... USB debugging.. etc. NOTHING will get my computer to pull the files or the phone to stop crashing the programs.
I NEED to get these photographs from the phone.. there are at least 2k of them.
what are some options I have or things I could try?
and DO NOT say factory reset.. thats not an option until I get desperate.. do that and try some recovery software for photos.
thanks for any help. I have about a week or so to figure this out... so I can return this stupid galaxy express I had to buy just to have a functional phone.

Have you tried using a micro SD card and transfer your photos internally via a file manager app.

do you have a suggested app? and is this possible without going into the gallery cause that I cant even open... just freezes and fails

Why dont u just make a nandroid backup and wipe. Then flash the latest stock rom through odin. If that fixes the issue of freezing apps and your mtp problem you can restore the backup and should be straight.

Edit: also are you familiar with adb? You could boot to recovery and pull the photos with adb from there. And how much space is free on internal storage? The issues your experiencing sounds typical of full internal storage

you have to break that down a bit... only time I have to work on this is coming off of 12 hour shifts and im not too functional lol
there is space on internal I think about a gig or so left. the phone did NOT have issues prior to updating to 4.1. ALL problems started after 4.1.
also just tried installing a file manager... wont install. play store app freezes

Well to me it sounds like some issue was caused in the upgrade. Are you currently using a custom recovery? I ask because I have a feeling a factory reset will be your fix and with a custom recovery you could backup then wipe so you can troubleshoot w/o losing everything
And in the future once u fix this I recommend Dropbox which will automatically backup all those pictures so u dont have to worry about losing them again. Regardless of what you want to do to fix it we should be able to pull the pics even with mtp being borked

You could try rooting your phone and flashing a recovery. After that, go into the recovery and fix permissions. This won't delete anything and it's worth a shot.

no the phone has nothing special installed. looked into the custom recovery... and its not going to work (at least I dont think) cause I dont have a solid USB connection... as in it does "connect" per se. the phone knows its connected... the computer knows its connected but it doesnt show up as a drive like it used to.

In download mode, you shouldn't have problems like that.

Captivate Glide Recording Failed on Camera

I have looked everywhere before this post so my apologies if this is an incorrect posting, my ATT captivate glide camera says RECORDING FAILED nearly every time i open the camera app, i have tried clearing cache through multiple apps and through the recovery boot, and multiple camera apps like pudding camera, i've uninstalled every app i can think of that may interfere with the camera as well, i have also rooted my device hoping this would help, a reset will not help, a reflash of the rooted rom will not help either, i am open to try anything suggested as i trust the developers in this forum, i posted this as a new thread to see if anyone else has the same problem, thank you for your time and effort, it means a lot to us that are learning
Never seen that and I use the camera pretty regularly. Bum device maybe?
Never had this problem as well, I think you might have got a defective unit.
if you use your external SD card as storage, better check that one. If you use internal SD, you can check if you have a DCIM folder in it, try creating it manually if you do not see any.
i tried the dcim folder idea, now have a folder in usb storage, sd, and external sd, no luck but thank you
I found a thread with a promising solution, i deleted my camera.apk with titanium backup and got a camera mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104051 , it's working now, i hope it continues to, i will post an update later if anyone else is having this problem, thanks to all involved

Need firmware
i checked my firmware using *#34971539# and it displayed null.... i need someone to upload the actual firmware please, or at least tell me what version they have.... thanks
Firmware
OK, here's where I'm at now... someone was kind enough to upload me the firmware, i install it and reboot my device and it works for about 5 minutes then fails again, i honestly think something is running in my device that is interfering with the camera.... if anyone has any ideas they would be appreciated...
I'm gonna try this again, camera still only working intermittently (about 10%).... in the service menu my cam firmware is null, a phone to cam fw write just reboots my device, i put the rs_m5ls.bin in the root of my SD card before write, not sure if i am doing this correctly, if i do a cam to phone fw dump i get a m5mo_dump.bin in the root of my SD card as well, I've formatted cache, data, system and reinstalled ICS ROM by jayjayjoker, I've flashed the stock GB firmware from samfirmware via Odin, and tried the firmware write every way i could think of each time... can anyone please explain how the firmware works with the ROM and driver, maybe i will understand it better or even detailed steps on the correct installation of firmware, I'm sure I'm missing something and the only info i can find is all spread out and not necessarily clear when i do find it, if any of you devs have any ideas please help.... thanks for your time, this is very frustrating
Hi can anybody assist me please I am trying to install the new camera all onto my Samsung glide, I have read that I use Root Explorer go to system/app and rename camera.apk and install the new file in its place.
But my problem is root explorer says that the system file is read only and cannot be renamed how do I get round this rather than using the Odin for my computer.
My issue with the camera is when in landscape it works perfect but when I switched to portraits the screen goes blank.
Many thanks.

Sudden Boot Loops - I'm Lost

I've been using my Galaxy Nexus for a month or so, with the official JB ROM (JR30C or whatever, deodexed and rooted) and today I opened Gmail.
That's it. I opened GMail, switched accounts, and my phone has been bootlooping ever since.
I wiped everything in CWM multiple times and reflashed it, and I can't get the phone to do anything else.
Any clues?
Do you have a working nandroid? Have you tried flashing a different ROM?

I do not have a working NANDROID. I wasn't sure about the Internet policies at work, but it looks like I can at least make it on here, I'm not sure I'll be able to download another ROM.
I'm confused though, I mean I know it would help to try as many options as possible (to fix it) - but this ROM has been working for weeks. And the phone died randomly, not due to a recent file change or a botched program. The only boot loops I've experienced before were on the Nexus One, and it was always due to a buggy/bad flash or a corrupted ROM download - this one just developed epilepsy on its own...
Here's my plan, since these are the only things I can manage to download due to restrictions on Internet usage at work.

ODIN won't rewrite my bootloader, recovery, or userdata, since I already OEM unlocked, but will reflash a stock image.

is your (sd)storage recognized? thus is a similar symptom to when the stirage goes bad.
Hook the phone up to adb, boot it, and let logcat run. Maybe that will turn something up.

Hmm, you know, I'm not able to find the option to mount to USB in CWM...and just in case I forgot where that is, when I plug it in, I get the "hardware failed" noise from Windows and not the usual friendly "plug in" sound.

I'm at work, and I only have my work computer. Group/secpolicy won't allow me to install anything, no admin rights, etc.
Would it even do anything? The phone barely makes it through one second of the boot animation before it loops.

Got more than one additional ROM on there via adb/recovery - my clue that CWM hasn't actually been able to do anything since the phone start looping is I'm still getting my custom boot animation.
I'm using the toolkit to reflash a stock image now. What a mess.
Even reflashing a stock image via fastboot did nothing. WTF happened to my phone? Won't stay on long enough to get a logcat
I'm having the same problem as this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827685&page=2
I just got finished trying to flash 4.1.1 using ODIN. It still shows me the custom animation from bigxie's ROM (which has supposedly since been overwritten 2-4x times).
Screw you Samsung...this phone is a month old, I flashed -once- to rooted Jelly Bean, and the phone dies when I open the GMail app.
EDIT: WTF - I write screw you Samsung, it boots to the Welcome screen! Just long enough for me to see that my files aren't on it anymore, then it bootloops again. And again. Now it's re-stuck in a bootloop.
And now I'm at the homescreen. I can't rely on this thing like this...is my flash dying or something?
Nobody?
It worked long enough for me to re-enter all of my different Google account information and now it's dead again. Now it only flashes the boot animation for a split second for bootlooping.
I'm thinking of a hardware defect.

Mee too. As you can see from my signature, I gave up and bought a One S yesterday night from Craigslist. Feels like a true successor to the Desire / N1. It's nice to finally have an AMOLED screen that actually seems color calibrated after the ugly mess that was my RAZR and my less than perfect GNex. It's a damn shame how much more painless flashing a recovery was on this thing.

[Q] Newbie questions

Hi all.
My first post here and a couple of questions.
Per instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283 , I was able to root my phone using TWRP and odin.
The phone works fine but many of the apps are missing (maps, youtube etc). I was able to download the maps 6.14 apk and install it, but the gps takes forever to lock now. Is there a s2 specific app that was somehow wiped out by the rooting process?
Also, the stock browser is set to full screen, but when typing in the address, the address bars flickers on and off and I can only see the google search suggestions untill I press the keyboard again. Im using stock samsung keyboard.
Don't know if it's normal, but the phone doesn't pull my contacs from the sim card before or after root. I used to have HTC Mytouch from T-mobile and the names and phone numbers all came up as soon as I insterted the sim card into that phone when I bought it 2 years ago.
Thank you.
Sorry forgot to add.
The phone is ( was?) stock JB 4.1.2 (t-mobile) and the only thing I did was root it.
The only thing I can think of is to re flash the stock ROM in Odin. Then redo installing recovery. I followed roughly the path to root you described and didn't have any problems.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you know if the settings and data will be wiped out if I try to reinstall ? I dont have a spare phone I would hate to lose the apps and the texts and etc.
Well, if you have twrp, install it first and make a backup that INCLUDES the preload partition as well as data, system, cache, etc. Then you don't need to worry. But odining stock job over stock job should be harmless since it won't overwrite data -- just be sure repartition isn't checked
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Well, unrooted, rerooted, wiped clean, reinstalled stock 4.1.2 and nothing ...
The gps is crap with all the .conf files tried. And no matter what, once I install SU , the damn apps disappear after reboot. Plus considering that it's a 1.5mhz processor, its slower than my old HTS 1.2mhz Mytouch and even 1mhz ZTE warp. Probably gonna send it back. Too bad, since I like the screen a lot.
You're missing apps can be redownloaded from the play store. As for your GPS problem, download and follow the instructions to install AGPS from this thread and you should be fine.

Thanks , but I already tried that.
As for the apps, it's really not a big deals, but the fact that the SU app makes them disappear is a bit of a concern. , plus the fact that gps works like crap even after the patch and several new gps.conf files , make this phone an overpriced and kinda overhyped toy. Frankly one shouldnt be looking at patches and fixes on a phone this "good". If an old ZTE and Htc work without a hitch, then this thing is about $150 too expensive for what it is.
And for the life of I cant understand why wouldnt sucksung put a damn led light on the case to alert the user of missed calls or texts instead of us having to resort to the nolite and such..
Thank you for all the help though).Thank you though for the help.

Make Sure you Flash it Correctly.. Since you have TWRP Flash other Rom of your preferences and then DO THE CORRECT Wipes!.

Appreciate the advice.
But Ive done that already. The gps ,when it does finally lock, takes forever. Regardless of the .conf files. And no matter what, after SU gets installed and the phones is restarted some apps are simply gone.
Instead of stock ROM I would give you the suggestion of trying out cyanogen mod since imo its actually much better everything wise over stock ROM
Give it a whirl and tell us what u think

[Q]What went wrong with my Liquid Smooth ROM?

OK ofcourse as all noobs do when they start a noob thread they state that they are a noob... Well I am a noob. and I need help as we noobs tend to ask for. I Apologize but I have done a fair share of reading and before I go of and destroy the phone further I wanted to give my own thread a try.
ok...
So I got this ATT GS3 everything was cool from the store but I wanted to reverse Apps (I Tinker with code here and there). Which would require a simple root. Great... Followed the Simple self explanatory TUT "How to root your phone without tripping the flash Counter". Started doing my thing blah,blah,blah. should have been satisfied. (Here is where the Noob Kicks In). Saw how sick the liquid smooth rom was. loved the look was just tired of stock. so I did it. flashed the rom (No Backup whatsoever just exported contact list :crying At a first glance I was in love still doing my thing.... then I started noticing the glitches (mainly video related). got a newborn and could never just bust out the camera and play proud daddy. So I decided to go back. this is where the big problem Happened. My PC doesn't recognize the Phone via USB(I've tried 4 other computers). Ive read atleast 10 threads and they all say I should go in the dialer but no one has a custom ROM. So Now I cant even debug apps on my phone. I don't know what to do?
From 4.1.2 to Liquid Smooth 4.2.2
Please Help
Sorry if that seems long.

Yes Using Odin would be a dream but my PC does not recognize the phone.... so IM stuck. there is a ODIN App now does anyone think I should give that a try?. Like I sed I just don't want to make things worst. all suggestions would be helpful
Do you have android debugging checked under developer settings? If no, try that. Had that problem awhile back and that cleared it. Also, have you tried using another USB cable to connect to your computer? Also have run into problems connecting to the computer because of that. Mobile Odin might be your only option if you can get it on your phone. Just search and read carefully.

ok so I used mobile odin to flash the stock image back on the phone... For Future reference After you flash stock image you go back into the phone in recovery mode and wipe all data (Cache,Dalvic, Factory Reset) I had a crazy issue that side tracked me for about 45 minutes. I got a Flashing Samsung Logo. just put it like this I was already on craigslist looking for another phone. anyway USB debugging still doesn't work but. atleast im back to stock incase I gotta deal with Samsung or AT&T I can prolly slide through
Weird.
When you connect your phone to your computer does it charge? Ive had this problem recently and the phone would charge while connected to the computer, I just couldn't use mass storage. Buying a new cable fixed it though. I'm at a loss.
Maybe now you're on stock try the dialer commands you mentioned in the O.P.. If you haven't already.
Anyway, good luck. if you figure it you should post what you did.

Updated to 4.3 and now I lost hundreds of pictures and videos from gallery

I updated it on 12/09/2013 and I can only see pictures back until that point and not before! I noticed it too late..
Man I tried every thing I could. ****, I downloaded the entire internal memory and converted it to VHD so I could run Recuva but still most of the recovered files are in huge zips and cant open them with any 7zip/winrar type of software. I downloaded other picture apps and they dont see it either. The SD card has it's stuff still there so thats not a problem.
I have been told its because the first roll out of 4.3 was bad and some people had issues. I want to able to downgrade to 4.1.1 but for some reason most of the methods out there are for people who have a non-stock 4.3 OS and not the OTA update.
Can anyone help me? I really want those pictures/videos back!
So, how can I go back to 4.1.1? It might be my last chance to get it right. I have Clockwork recovery and tried to put on the stock tmobile OS but it always fails via Odin and Rom manager. Phone still works. please help!

Take a quick look in data/media/0 or data/media/legacy
Easy way to tell instead of looking thru all your folders.
Is the space still taken? If yes, then it's there somewhere, if not, then they are most probably done for.
