ok, i've been searching and i can't find any guide in how to install omega v40 on stock s3. anyone has a step by step guide on how to flash this. including guides on the things you need to back up. as in a detailed step by step guide. everything i need to do with a stock s3. A noob guide if you want to call it. :cyclops:

no need to answer this. thank you again EtienneBordeaux for the guide..

Now, another stupid question, is omega v40 a Samsung based ROM? :p

That's not how sudden death works. If you followed the sds thread, sds happens when you can't even open the phone or can only get to download mode but receive a pit error when you try to flash a firmware.

Is it stable?
[Galaxy S III General] cassezek:
Im stuck in using the Unified Toolkit, my current build model is not in the list which is (XXELLC). What build model should i choose to root my device.
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Choose the closest build which is XXELLA. Or use another rooting option (cf-root 6.4 or cf auto-root).

P.S.

Don't be harsh on Optimus guys, he/she is still a kid on the sixth grade (according to him/her) ;)

[Galaxy S III General] cassezek:
Which one is safer, 6.4 or autoroot?
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Either one is safe unless you do something stupid while flashing the root file (like unplugging the usb cable or removing the battery). I prefer 6.4 though because it already comes with custom recovery (CWM). In auto-root, you still need to flash CWM custom recovery manually. After that, flash philz recovery in cwm. Refer to my PM to you.

im done with rooting. Im doing the titanium back up now. then ill start with philz recovery. is that OK?? cause i want to preserve the "out of the box" setting so i could go back to stock. is that right? hehehe
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
I think you are pertaining to nandroid backup(search here in xda how to do it), titanium is used for backing up apps. You can also go back to "out of the box state" by flashing stock rom on odin. By the way when using titanium, just backup your user apps and not the system apps to avoid conflicts on your future roms to be flashed. You can backup system apps but know what to and what not to backup.

Sent from my GT-I9300 with Omega v40 + Yank555.lu v3.1g
[Galaxy S III General] cassezek:
ohhhh. ok, ill have to repeat titanium backup. after titanium backup, should i start with philz recovery, then ill do the nandroid.. i think i got the sequence now.

question about the nandroid, does this include my phones personal ID details e.g. imei, the important ones?
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Flash philz recovery first to be safe.

It is up to you, for me I do a nandroid backup whenever I try a new custom rom. Hey mate I need to go, I am done working on my files. Have work early in the morning.

Just follow the guide that I gave you and you are good to go.

Sent from my GT-I9300 with Omega v40 + Yank555.lu v3.1g
[Galaxy S III General] NadMaj:
+ 1

next step is flash a recovery of your choice..... download the tar file and flash it using odin.... then you can make a backup using your custom recovery before flashing omega v40 (you said it's the rom you wanted).. it's nice to see there's an active filipino here willing to help others... sorry spent all my thanks today so thanks ettiene.. big day for omega we just released the first version for the note 10.1.. :)

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

yes.... if you flash omega you'll be asked if you want to back efs so as long as you do a nandroid backup and that you'll be fine.
[Galaxy S III General] cassezek:
@EtienneBordeaux and @nadmaj thanks for all the help. i think im getting used to this now.. i hope i dont get my phone bricked. hahaha .
[Galaxy S III General] cassezek:
after flashing omega 40 and yank555.lu. i have this exclamation mark on boot screen. i usually get this on accessing CWM but not the system. but after the flashing the rom and kernel above, exclamation mark (red) started to show. why o whY? is this normal?
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Did you even sleep? Flashing till dawn? :D

Anyway, that red exclamation is because of the new bootloader from your previous rom XXELLC. Flash an old bootloader to get rid of it.

Here try this one, flash thru cwm. This is the bootloader that I am using.

THIS IS NOT A CASE OF SUDDEN DEATH.

Just wanna share my experience. I was walking around the mall and I was actually texting people and using WhatsApp. Then I tried to check my phone and it wasn't responding and the dreaded blue notification light showed up. It wasn't blinking or anything. Wouldn't respond to anything. Thought it was sudden death for sure but I held the power button for three minutes and then the phone started responding. Was having mini heart attacks before the screen finally turned on.
[Galaxy S III General] blyx21:
Good things is not sds. Maybe your gs3 jst hang. Some times it really happen maybe because too many apps been open.
[Galaxy S III General] offgrey:
I think I might have died if it was SDS. My phone's a grey market unit eh. I've been following the whole issue since it popped up on XDA. I immediately updated to XXELLA even before they revealed that it really did fix SDS and I had only been using my phone for a month then. In any case, I actually just wanted to share my experience in case anyone goes through the same thing and panics. You might wanna try holding down the power button if it really doesn't respond to any of the physical buttons before you do a battery pull. After it finally started to respond, I noticed that my home screens were re-loading.

music player & radio acting wierd

hi guys..

just wanna ask if you guys experienced this.. i flashed the globe ELLC stock rom and used it for 2 weeks and i noticed that when i'm listening to the radio and shifts to mp3 using my earphones i can't hear any sounds from my earphones.. even when receiving calls (earpohnes unplugged) i can't hear the caller's voice but they can hear me.. but when i plugged my earphones i can hear the caller.. weird huh.. never experienced this on the previous roms that i used.. at first i thought that the earpiece is broken.. but when i flashed to another rom (EMA2) my phone is working fine..

is it the ELLC rom?.. any thoughts guys?

Finally got my phone back from the service center. It took a lot of phone calls, wasted time and money, and a lot of patience.

It was really hard for me to convince the repair guys that the problem wasn't software (they flashed my phone 3 times or more). I just hoped they listened to me from the start. It could have saved both parties the work, time, and money.

After getting my device back, I immediately downloaded the eMMC brick bug app to see if mine shows as an "insane chip". It was a huge relief to see that my board was indeed replaced. So without second thoughts, I immediately rooted, flashed a custom recovery, and restored my Nandroid backup. :D

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

I think I read somewhere that it could be a bug in the firmware. If you aren't using any mods, then that might would most likely be a bug.

Also, which app are you using to play music? That could be a suspect too, you know.
[Galaxy S III General] blyx21:
It happens to me also, it's with the customer kernel I installed. What I did is just disable the audio amp mod built in with the customer kernel.

It's just scratch resistant. Your keys or coins won't scratch the screen but the dirt on those things... That's another story. There might actually be sand in it which will scratch the screen. Chances are your screen has microscratches you can't see unless you really really look for it.

Want to share my experience. I have an SGS3 that is less than 1 week old. I rooted with CF Autoroot. I installed Font Installer from the Play Store. I used this software before with my CM Flare and changed the font more than 10 times already. With my SGS3, my phone hanged the first time I changed to font. I rebooted by pressing the Power button long enough and got my phone working again. The second time I changed the font, my phone hanged again. This time, it did not reboot after pressing the Power button long. I tried various combinations of taking out the battery, wiping cache, full wipe -- all to no avail. The phone just hangs at the Samsung logo.

Finally I flashed a stock ROM from XDA and got my phone working again. I was still in the flashing mood and decided to flash Omega ROM v41.

Been happy with Omega v41 for 3 days now. :)

The s3 of my girl had a problem for a while now, we do have the same setup because I am the one who flashes things on her phone but mine is just fine.

Here's the problem, whenever she downloads something (ie: playstore or file sharing site) her download suddenly doesn't continue at some point (ie: stops at any random %). The download won't stop (the problem won't occur) if she do something in the internet like browsing while downloading, but if she leaves it be and wait for the download to finish then the problem will occur. Hope you get my point because it is kinda hard to explain.
