u havent understood my question.i was asking about flashing the stock version from samsung not the rom from omega based on the stock firmware.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sh4d0wDr4g0n2:
It may work, but there is the possibility that you will suffer from strange bugs. I honestly don't get it why everyone is always making such a big deal for a full wipe. You simply restore your apps etc and you are ready :) AND you can be sure you have flashed the rom in the cleanest way possible with the least chance of issues.

And don't forget that 4.1 and 4.3 use a different "structure" on your sd card...

Yes you will lose root, but you can ofc root the stock firmware
[Galaxy S III Android Development] e-thug:
Finally... no more of this dual version / leaked 4.2 nonsense on XDA!

I'll be happy if this ROM will still be JKay compatible.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Oh I agree with you no biggie here, sync, click TB and just place widgets. Was just wondering but yeah every major release I always did full wipe lot less time than dealing with minor bugs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 7wajahat7:
Man, we will get stuff from Wanam ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
Let me explain what happened when I flashed the leaked german 4.3 version over Omega v50.1 without a full wipe. Basically I recompiled the stock rom (deodexed, zipaligned), similar to what indie does, only without Aroma installer. While booting up I got the usual "updating programs" window and after a couple of programs passed, the phone re-booted. I didn't even bother going through that again, straight back to recovery. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dollyaja:
Ah,,can u more spesific for about different structure on sd card? Do I need to wipe the sd card or move it somewhere-restore after flashing 4.3. I usually keep my data like games on android - data/obb so after changing roms I just need to install the apk which I kept It on my external sd card and restore data only with Titanium Backup
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sh4d0wDr4g0n2:
Since android 4.2, Android will create a folder called "0" on your SD, all your data from apps etc will be stored there. So if you have Android 4.1 you should move all your stuff in that folder :).

Or you could just back up everything using TB and let it restore (it will do everything for you).

I hope you understand what i mean :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] steven8590:
I think he is referring to the internal Sd card not the external. Ideally you format the Internal sd card as well because you will have double the data. I hope I understood well what you are meaning about SD card. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sh4d0wDr4g0n2:
I'm indeed referring to the internal SD card :) I'm sorry I didn't make that very clear.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
I just say no because it's a complete new firmware with different system partition, file partition and many other changes. I'm pretty sure there would be problems if you go from 4.1.2 to 4.3 without wipe. Plus I want to prevent that some, maybe not so experience user, get it wrong and then posting: why you say yes we don't need to wipe now my phone started the third world war or something. That's way I said simple no. :) For more questions just ask, no problem mate.

I really get you wrong. :) Yes you will lose root if you flash the stock firmware from Sammy. And for etas about stock rom I really don't know it. That's something only samsung can answer you.

Edit: God damn it I'm really getting slow and old. :) Much thanks to the bunch of the other great guys who are already answered to the questions in a great way!

Ah I see, I think I found about "0" folder when i flashed one of custom roms ( I forgot ), my android- data/obb stored in that folder. Thanks for reminds me :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Its there by default..(or should be if the ROM installed properly).When the screen is locked and in black hold down the volume keys to skip.It works with stock and PowerAMP players but Im not sure about others.If its not working then do a non-wipe flash again to properly install everything that didnt set the first time.

After reboot ma S3 I can see only starting screen samsung I9300 and nothing else. Phone is stops. I tried restore my date but process is stopping. I tried format factory after format factory when I restart my phone is only starting screen samsung galaxy and nothing else. What Have I do ? I remove battery for few minutes is the same situation only starting screen.

Whats is wrong ?

What can I do to use my phone
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HLG114:
You can take out battery for 10-15 minutes and then, flash other rom : stock...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DeeinSouthAfrica:
We have all been here. The best thing to do is take things slowly. We know that it is complicated, but one thing at a time. Start by downloading another copy of the rom as it may be corrupted. Then go to recovery and flash again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
I switched to cm10.2 for a short time, then came back to omega. One thing I'm really missing is the volume button long press track changing while the screen is off (I'm using original headphones & their volume buttons did the same action.

Is there a way to get this option on omega rom(4.1.2) latest version? Don't mind if it's an app or something I install in recovery etc....

I'm using googy max kernel btw.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bartman007:
Hi mate, looking back at your post history, I can see that you are trying a few mods and themes, are you still using them?

Also if its a fresh install, it can take upto 20mins before it even hits the update screen.

Best try megawipe:

Megawipe and others *READ POST*

It will wipe everything on your phone, so make a backup af everything, including your SD Card. Then install Omega ROM, it will be like a brand new phone.

Also can you tell us what S3 you have, International, AT&T......???

The more information you supply the better we can provide help.

Peace

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
If you can get to recovery then do this to start off.Might help without loosing data.

Manually wipe cache partition and dalvik

Go to Mounts and Storage and manually format system and cache

Now flash as a non wipe install and hopefully it will boot up and this way you wont loose anything

If it wont gets stuck at the last stage of the flash the hold down power+home+volume down to get back to recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot.

If this doesnt work then try one of the other posts and format everything.Try this first to not loose all your stuff..(except mods you flashed separately).

Hi I just installed the rom. I am really happy with it. What can I do with the file named 0 ? Thanks. Greetings from Greece.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrimPivo:
Where this file placed? This is file or folder?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerko:
Oh sorry. A folder.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

50.1

Also I see that a lot of space has been occupied. Recently I had 8 GB free now I have only 3...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrimPivo:
Dive inside this folder. What's there? I bet you'll find a lot of files from root folder.

This is a new multi-user thing in Android - personal folders for different users, and for default user it will be data/media/sdcard/0, for second - data/media/sdcard/1 etc.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerko:
Yap
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrimPivo:
And I guess you came from 46.1 Omega (or something else with Android 4.2.2 inside)?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerko:
A long journey but yes!

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

So slhoud I just delete the folder?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
If you look inside that folder you will find all your stuff from 4.2.2 so pass it to the sdcard folder (internal memory 4.1.2) first then delete it.

[MENTION=3612790]Chris_84[/MENTION] - Hey Chris! Hope you are doing great. I am returning to the thread after quite a bit of time. (v45.1 has been so solid for me except known issues with App updates in Play Store random reboots and odd music play lag)

Thought of taking your view point on whether 4.2.2 to 4.3 will be no wipe or do you suspect surprises? Well, 4.3 is still an unknown territory for Sammy build on S3 so I guess no one can tell as yet but I am hoping it to be a no wipe unless there is something different in 4.3. I ask cuz I never followed 4.3 that much.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
We'll share it mate ..:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Hi mate. I'm doing fine. Hope you too. :) You mean Samsung stock rom or Indies magical build? :) If you flash Indies rom you will always have the option to install the rom as no wipe but also as always the team and especially indie will recommend to do a full wipe if you flash from another rom or rom version, like from 4.1.2 to 4.3. Because there will be a lot of changes like the folder structure for example. Hope I'm getting you right my friend and answer your question the way you expect it. :)

Awesome! Can't wait to fill my phone with this magic!

Always more important is quality, not the amount of time till you get the thing :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ReBORN ViRUS:
[MENTION=3612790]Chris_84[/MENTION] : Thanks for the response bud. Yes, you answered it perfectly - as always! :)

I meant 4.2.2 indie (v45.1) to 4.3 indie (proposed v51). I am hoping for no-wipe because I "guess" 4.2.2 and 4.3 structure (broadly speaking) is similar, right? I say "structure" realizing how non-technical term it is :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MysteryIII:
Will the provided Themes work on 4.3 (like Kalagas)? Or do they need an update?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mputtr:
a rule of thumb here is that if you're upgrading within a minor version (4.2.2 to 4.2.3) no wipe is usually fine, but when jumping into a major version (4.2 to 4.3) it's in your very best interest to actually wipe because you don't know what have been changed and chances are things can get goofed up. Better safe than sorry.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
It's a pain but I'd do it for 4.3, but restoring lots of apps makes it lags then I'll wait a day or 2 .. for some smoothness
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
Indie will make sure to release v51 without the apn bug. One more thing I should add, for all 4.3. first-timers. When selecting Yes "disable recovery flash" in cwm or philz recovery, you might lose root access. So press "No" for that option and also "No" for "fix root".

how to remove dual boot and cyanogenmod 10.2

I'm planning to install Omega 51, as soon as possible :fingers-crossed:

Now I've googy max 1.7.8 kernel (dual boot) with Omega 50.1 and cyanogenmod 10.2 (android 4.3). Recovery is philz touch 5.18.5 i9300.

With Omega 51 I don't need anymore cyanogenmod. In internal sd card memory I've lots of strange directories (dual boot etc.) and I'd like to clean everything.

First of all I'll make a philz touch backup of data, system, ecc. modem and efs, obviously. And then?

What's the best option to clean complete internal memory card and keep only a new "stock" Omega rom 51?

Will be possible to restore call logs and sms from cyanogenmod 10.2 (4.3) to Omega 51 with super bakup?

thanks to this great team for the best assistance I've ever seen before. Andrea
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Hi mate! Never used super backup so I couldn't tell if it will work. For your storage thing. Best thing for you is to put all your important files like music, videos, photos, maybe some folders with skins for uccw for example to your external sd if you got one, also put the omega rom zip on it. Then boot in recovery and select in mounts and storage format sd card. That's it. After that install the rom from your external sd and reboot.

Edit: Before I forget. Once you done you can put back your files to your internal sd if you want to. :)

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

As already said I also recommend a full wipe because Samsung not only change some structure, they're also updated some graphic modules as far as I know. But I'm glade I answer you the way you like it. :D

Fix for lost root access

Ok guys, the solution for the root issue in the upcoming v51 is as follows - Download Chainfire's latest SuperSU and flash in recovery... http://download.chainfire.eu/351/

After that you can press Yes for "disable recovery flash" and "fix root" message in CWM or PhilZ, root access should stay intact.

Edit: Please wait for developers to fix cwm sources!
