Guys, need some help.
My friend's unrooted S3 had some problems.
1. Installing some apps wouldn't work. Error 24
2. Installing new apps work.
3. Tried to update the phone through system update as she's still on 4.3
4. Error trying to install it.
5. Bootloop occurs. Can't get pass boot screen.
6. Removing/reattaching phone boots up the phone automatically.
7. VOL + & Home & Power button to recovery doesn't work as it's always stuck on bootscreen.
Any other method to factory reset without PC?

QUOTE(Gamerjim @ Feb 23 2015, 09:50 PM) if can't boot into recovery most probably u need to flash back stock rom with odin.. n yes, u will need a PC.. I looked around and found the fix. As farfetched as it may sound, the phone boots up normally now. The fix? Knock on the power button area with a solid thud. Apparently, S3 have a tendency to have the power button connection lodged inside. Had her to factory reset and it's a working phone now. Thanks anyways guys.  |

QUOTE(ToniV @ Feb 23 2015, 11:33 PM) wow !!! thanks for sharing.  i hope u dont need to hit the power button every time. maybe u should avoid using the power button to lock the phone. instead use an app. Specifically, hitting it with it's own battery will work.  Will tell her to use an app for locking the phone then. |
