Ladies and Gents,

Does anyone know who I can contact to request the addition of s sub forum under HTC Evo 3d for Virgin Mobile Android Development? I have thested the Sprint roms (which work) without MMS, and would like to spur the community to create VM specific versions.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Might not be necessary considering it's already a CDMA model, and that's where you're currently posting.
[HTC EVO 3D] bsoplinger:
Yes and no. The software is that odd mix of Sense 3.6 and ICS that's in the leak ROM. But otherwise development for the Sprint phone is based on HC and Sense 3.whatever. So anything that modifies existing /system files has a good chance of not working properly on the new VM phone. OTOH, mods that add to /system work just fine.

Common Problems:

I created a bug thread check that first!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1722363

Standard Troubleshooting For Many Flashing Problems:

-Try Rebooting. Most problem will be solved this way.

-Was it fine before your Nandroid Backup? If so, restore your backup.

-If you flashed something and are having issues, did you wipe your data/cache/dalvik? If not then do it and reflash.

-If you are still getting problems, the file is most likely corrupt or outdated. Try redownloading and making sure the file is updated for your ROM + Version #

-If the file is updated and NOT corrupt,

SEARCH FIRST IN THE FORUMS OR GOOGLE!

You will be surprised on the answers you can find in 15 seconds of searching.

-Can't find any solution or workaround? Then make a post in that thread with details of your problems, as well as ROM, error messages, etc.

I am getting random Force Closes (FCs) after flashing ****.

Did you wipe your data/cache/dalvik? Also go to Mounts and format /system. If not do a Nandroid Restore to the backup you should have done before flashing and then wipe data/cache/dalvik and then reflash. See if you still get a FC. If you do, there might be a problem with whatever it is you flashed with the ROM you are using. Check on the thread you downloaded it from for support.

I am stuck in a boot loop.

If you flashed a new ROM and you are stuck in a bootloop, you probably didn't erase your data/cache/dalvik. Try that and reflash your ROM. This will fix most boot loop issues. If it was from something else, make a post in your respective threads or in Q+A.

I am stuck in a NAND Backup!

Pull your battery and restart the backup. You might also want to erase the NAND backup that failed by going to your respective NANDROID backup folder on your SD card.

I am a MAC user and I downloaded ____'s ROM and it doesn't work.

Macs will recompress the file. Use Firefox to download and make sure it doesn't recompress the file. It should work then. Either that or use a Windows based PC.

I tried to NANDROID BACKUP and I got an error message saying "Run 'nandroid-moble.sh' via adb!"

Your SD card is full.

I am having issues with Google Wallet saying it is no longer secure. What is wrong/how do I fix it?

Rooted Application Reviews

This will be a section where I will do reviews of rooted applications. These are based on my own usage and your mileage may vary depending on what apps/etc you use and what you use it for. I will take requests to do certain applications and I will post up a schedule to do reviews so you can send me questions ahead of time. Please also note, that I am on a Sprint device. I have bought a few paid rooted applications and utilities but I can't buy them all. I hope that I can get some donations going so I can buy more of these applications to review. If you are an application developer and would like me to review your application, please PM me and I'll toss one up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each application will be broken down as follows:

Application Name:

Developer:

Developer's Site:

Version/Build:

Application Description:

Stability:

Features:

Bugs/Issues:

Final Thoughts:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application Name: Titanium Backup

Developer: TITANIUM TRACK

Developer's Site: http://www.matrixrewriter.com/android/

Version/Build: 5.4.1.1

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xMiwiY29tLmtlcmFtaWRhcy5UaXRhbml1bUJhY2t1cCJd

Paid/Free? Both.

Price: $6.58 USD

Application Description: You can backup, restore, freeze (with Pro) your apps + data + Market links. This includes all protected apps & system apps, plus external data on your SD card. You can do 0-click batch & scheduled backups. Backups will operate without closing any apps (with Pro). You can move any app (or app data) to/from the SD card. You can browse any app's data and even query the Market to see detailed information about the app.

Stability: Very stable. It works with all ROMs I've used across many devices.

Features: TOO MANY! Look in the Play Store for features

Bugs/Issues: Very little if any.

Final Thoughts:

Titanium Backup has been on all the phones I have used and it is VERY VERY VERY handy. I highly recommend everyone use this for backups. The pro version allows you to auto upload your backups to the cloud so you don't waste space on your device plus other features. It also helps you get rid of certain apps and freeze them which can be really handy. There are some quirks but not with the application. What I mean is if you restore the wrong application or an application that is not compatible with your ROM, it will cause FC errors. Same thing with deleting a system application.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rogermhoffmanjr:
Just wondering, does the process that flashes cwm recovery through Odin, then flashes the root through the recovery, does that manipulate the kernel at all? And if it does will I have to worry about signal issues or low bars? I want to keep my phone as stock as possible, but want to remove bloat, and possibly tether. But want to maintain the integrity of the kernel by not making drastic change to it. Can someone explain to me what this root method actually does to allow access? Thank you for your time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sekigah84:
I will update this to combine all information across carriers soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] teh roxxorz:
Basically hold down the power button, but when you see that blue flash that says recovery at the top of the screen, release the power button.

Basically flashes the CWM recovery, install su, binaries, ect. The kernel is still stock, and you'll be able to remove bloatware and use rooted apps.

Rooting SGH I747M?

Hi everyone, I just bought my Canadian GS3 model number SGH I747M. I was about to root using the method provided by the geniuses that have helped us out but noticed the suffix at the end (M). Does this mean that the root will not work for my phone as it is for a Canadian carrier? Should I unlock the phone first or wait for a specified root for this model number. I believe its the same as the AT&T, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sekigah84:
I can't comment on whether or not it is the same or whether or not it will work. There have been people flashing ROMs from other carriers and soft bricking their devices. I wouldn't recommend doing it. You are welcome to try but know that there is a pretty big risk in doing so.

Try searching to see if anyone tried already. I'm sure someone did out of curiosity.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] teh roxxorz:
No prob man.

I'd recommend against it; some have soft bricked, most have. I do believe ports will happen, and some changes to the updater scripts of the rom will have to be modified.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Ozark_8125:
So... this is the FIRST new phone I've ever had. I've always done used in the past as this is the FIRST time I've been on a contract (yuck). Therefore, it's the first phone that's been on their dime to fix... I've seen some conflicting info about rooting voiding the warranty or not in relation to the manufacturer warranty. I think I saw something about a 'counter' that trips if you root the phone - is that the same same in this situation or should there be a 'odin-one-click-to-stock' that would wipe that counter (do they really check that hard??)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] 1Android:
Edited:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
That is an ATT rom and you will lose all branding etc from your Rogers/Bell carrier (and gain the ATT ones), and may have to manually put in a APN (not that hard).

I would wait until they post the Rogers/Bell firmware so that you have something to go back to if there is a problem.

Questions, assistance for Sprint evo-4g root

Hi all,

My phone was rooted quite a while ago with a friends assistance. I was paying pretty close attention to the process and it has been working great since the intial root, minus a few quirks that I learned to straighten out, with of help of all of you fine folks out here!

So, my question is and please bump me to another forum if I am in the wrong location:

Is there anything newer, better (and stable) that I can update/upgrade my phone to, ROM wise or any newer kernels that may do it good?

I am posting what I can find about the phone and if you may need more info, I can add that with a little assistance on where/how to obtain it. I have re-started reading up on this whole process again so I can have more of an idea how to make this work for me and keep me outa some hot water later...

Android Ver: 2.3.5

Well it depends on what you want. You can try the ICS roms in the evo section [ where this should be post ], and the kernels, well I'd recommend the mason kernel. Additionally, there is a remixics rom by team dirt that is based off of the G S III.

How to assure NO OTA update

Getting my GS3 from Verizon today.

I noticed that there is an expected OTA update that will "probably block this root method"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756885

When the phone gets an OTA update, do I have to allow it? I want to make sure that I don't get the update so I can successfully root the phone before it is too late. My first android phone and I don't know if they are automatically installed from Samsung and Verizon.

My reason for wanting to root the phone immediately is to assure myself the option of installing roms and specifically the Jelly Bean rom when that becomes available. Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Red7521:
I just want to clarify if what I read is to what I understand. So once I flash a different rom on and I would like to get back to my original I would just load up my back up using cwm. Should I wipe everything like I would as if I am flashing it or it should just kick all that out when it loads up the back up? Also I rooted it using the no trip method. To my understanding it only trips when odin is used so when flashing roms and stuff the trip won't go off right? I've been down the root road but flashing and having a counter was a first for me.

Thanks amazing article

That's for the information.. It's definatly a must read for all noobs out there including myself.:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] teh roxxorz:
Yes; if you flash a rom, do a full wipe [wipe everything but the sd card]. if you need to restore a backup, you don't need to wipe anything. if you flash a file with odin, you will increase the flash counter, but flashing with mobile odin will not trip the counter.

Backing up

Hi everyone! I was wondering when you are rooting you phone does all you apps disappear? Also I know when you install cwr and install a new rom all over your apps are gone because you have to wipe data (and some other things) in the process, is their a way to back up your apps. I have heard of titanium backup and my backup but if you backup all your apps and then wipe your data you will no longer have that app. So how do you get those apps that you have backed up with root (and previous rom) once you flash a new rom and those (backup) apps are no longer there because you had to wipe data in the process of flashing a new rom (hope that made sense)??? Lastly if you have paid for apps and then flash a rom and clear all your data will you have to repay for those apps or just redownload them??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xsorifc28:
I've been through the following thread yet I'm still confused.

If I flash the image, will I lose all data (contacts, pictures, apps, etc.) on my phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sekigah84:
Rooting does not cause you to lose any data because nothing is wiped. Titanium backup saves the backup to your internal or external sd card. When you wipe data it does not erase your SD cards. Paid apps are linked to your Google account so you won't lose those.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sekigah84:
Pictures are saved on your internal SD card under DCIM. Contacts are linked to your Google account as long as you have been saving them to Google instead of phone.

There is an alternate way. You can flash using the toolbox and then use Triangle Away from the play store to reset the flash counter
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] EverythingAndroid:
So when you do a backup it saves to your sd card so after you flash a rom you can look through your sd card and reload all those apps?

Will you lose all your messages?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sanjsrik:
Can I make a suggestion, the thing you're all going to need is titanium backup. Do a backup before flashing any new ROM, also do a nandroid backup before flashing in recovery. Once you reboot back into your new rom, reinstall titanium backup first and you can restore all your applications. As for messages, etc., use handcent or go messaging to backup before flashing your new rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] teh roxxorz:
You would re-install titanium backup > set the directory > restore apps.

Unless you messaging app, like go sms includes backing up sms by default, you need to use a 3rd party app, like sms backup, to back the, up, otherwise you will lose them. Also google voice will keep its own history of it, if you've linked you sprint number to it.
