or go sammobile now search for i9000 that give you list of stock ROMs for your phone

also search on site corresponding Odin and instructions
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
i got the rom form there but i couldnt find odin or any instructions, there was a download link to some tool but it didnt work
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
link to Odin and pit file

or here to get an idea how to search for flash program

prerequisites :

-Kies to install drivers

-Android SDK is good because you need adb/ fastboot utilities

so you are to:

-install Kies then restart PC

-install Android sdk

-connect phone to PC activate usb debugging on phone previously then enter from command prompt (cmd.exe)

adb devices

if you get output/anwer that's ok your phone is connected to pc and drivers are set

-open phone in download/fastboot mode then use Odin to flash firmware from sdcard

(search youtube for a tutorial to learn how to flash by Odin)
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
thanks, i was told that kies interferes with the virtual port which was why it couldnt start the connection, also a lot of the tutorials i have seen refer to multiple files, but the firmwares i have dowloaded have all been just 1 tar file, does this go in the PDA section?
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
firstly load pit file then add to PDA that tar ( in fact that tar is an archive that will unpack when you load it to PDA section )
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
ok i have tried to do the cmd thing but i get this :

C:\Users\Woody>adb devices

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

when you say activate usb debugging, is that something i need to do on the fone? because the fone wont boot
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
yes usb debugging on phone... if not don't care about skip this step

if you installed android sdk... go in sdk folder ~ \android-sdk\platform-tools\ there is adb.exe and fastboot.exe open cmd.exe in this folder ! (or add adb to path but not now )

so open cmd.exe in adb.exe folder the simple way is to use Total Commander and navigate to adb.exe folder then from Commands menu choose Open command prompt window now you just opened cmd in adb folder

because your phone is not starting is not useful to check

adb devices

is not working now but you have to start phone in fastboot/download mode and enter from cmd

fastboot devices

by this way you check your phone was seen by PC

now it's time to flash by Odin don't forget to install Kies previously
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
it seems to be working, maybe all i needed was SDK. it seemed to do the update ok according to odin, but the fone its self doesnt seem to be doing anything, theres just a picture of a box and a droid on the screen
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
android sdk is very important without it you have no adb interface so no chance to communicate

can you start phone ? or it restarts in recovery mode ? if so wipe everything data/cache/Dalvik-cache then restart

also try to remove battery...
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
ive buggered it, odin said it had done the flash but then it just kept turning its self off and on again, i left it for 5 minutes to see if it would boot but it didnt so i pulled the battery out, now theres a symbol of a fone, with a triangle and a pc, and it wont do anything
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
can you enter recovery mode ? I suppose you never had a custom ROM on this phone ..

also post a screenshot from Odin maybe something is wrong there...
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
ive never had a custom rom on this fone, i pulled the battery out and put it back in, its gone back to download mode so im trying again, it came up with some errors last time but i just ignored them, ill let you know what they are when it done it....
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/6nes1

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/r4xax

ive cleared the cache on the fone, and tried to wipe data/factory reset and it said E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/st.l10
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
now I see you have to flash again by Odin but un-check re-partition

also unpack firmware file and tell me what's inside
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
boot.bin

cache.rfs

factoryfs.rfs

modem.bin

para,.lfs

sbl.bin

zImage
[General Questions and Answers] Woody07:
i just did it without re-partition enabled and it has come up with the same errors, shall i try a different image?
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
ok disable re-partition and flash again don't unpack firmware

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

yes this is good you need to try another one unpack it then you should see something like this :

CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5

GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5

MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5

get this then load files in Odin accordingly also play with re-partition option in this case because you have all needed files now

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz561:
Hey all. Unfortunately, I can't post in the development forum because this is my seventh post. :crying: Anyways, I had a comment about the verizon root and hopefully somebody can either move this to that sticky or answer... Anyways...

I wanted to see what was done to the modified image to make sure nothing strange was put in it. I downloaded the 'orig' from fus, extracted the image, and ran a md5 check on all the files. I then downloaded your system.img file and ran a md5check on all the files. I found two files were added...

#

330a331

> 65bd72996c68f289c5fa0b81f0874127 app/Superuser.apk

2007a2009

> d1a9de9724c662a50a9a128e48b1fb37 xbin/su

#

When I tried to find the versions of those files and the md5 hashes, they don't match. Here's your version...

65bd72996c68f289c5fa0b81f0874127 app/Superuser.apk

d1a9de9724c662a50a9a128e48b1fb37 xbin/su

I then downloaded 'superuser' from http://androidsu.com/superuser/, which I'm assuming is the source. For the 3.1.3 version, I get this...

MD5 (system/app/Superuser.apk) = e0bc7b7284b68c9539b6ec6b306310e0

MD5 (system/bin/su) = 054c9a22d8900d50ce6172fd56bbf414

For the 3.2-RC2 version, I get this...

MD5 (system/app/Superuser.apk) = d0abb9413f712f2f7dd43ed47df6c2d8

MD5 (system/bin/su) = 96c672c1339da363232f42dd87b4a3cf

As you can see, the md5's are different which make me a little uneasy about it. I was wondering if anybody knew of the source for these. I think I just email'ed invisiblek the same thing, but don't know if it would get to him or not. Maybe somebody else knows the answer.

Thanks!

WTF?

Im confused, I see active topics saying the S3 hasn't got root yet due to the locked boot loader, I also see active topics saying it has been unlocked + rooted..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz561:
answer

OK, I still haven't got my s3, so I haven't tried it. But from what I read, you can flash a custom system.img and put su and supervisor.apk on it. This allows you to get 'root' on the device. Here's a reference...

Verizon Failed on on Odin now stuck at SIII boot screen

I tried the procedure with rooted.system.img and Odin 3.07 and it threw root Xmit Write fail. Then it just hung.

I pulled the battery and now it won't boot. I tried doing Vol Up + Home to do a hard reset to no avail.

I also tried Samsung-Updates.com-SCH-I535_VZW_1_20120705143513_fti2qg2lmf file through Odin with no success.

I've rooted phones in the past but never through this method.

I'm hoping I haven't bricked it.

I have a spare 16 GB card if I can recover something that way.

I can't reactivate my old Rezound because now the SIM card is invalid and they are two different sizes so I can't use the new one in the old phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikef:
The answer is that this type of question doesn't belong in the dev threads, but in the S3 Q&A forum. If MD5 doesn't match, then you have a bad download or bad copy, or the posted MD5 is incorrect.

Hi guys, I am currently on T-mo with a HOX completely stock no root nothing, recently calls have started dropping when I make or receive a call it will work for a while then just go dead but still connected then it will eventually drop the call, not sure if it is the caller at the other end terminating the call. Prior to this happening the phone completely lost signal, I tried rebooting several times, turning the airplane mode on and off, and replacing the sim card, nothing worked until I went into Hboot selected recovery upon which it came up with an error(Not Sure cant mount ??) rebooted and started working again, but I am still getting the calls dropping, I think it could be related to signal, although when I look I always seem to have a good signal.

[Verizon Droid Charge] jbrookley:
I recently rooted my phone with Tweaked V2.2 (which I'm currently using with Transparent ICS, which looks and works amazing, by the way. Thanks for that!). It does occasionally start to lag over time and the battery starts dropping fast (which, realistically, is probably an app I have on there, I'll need to sort out which one it is later). I'm trying to look at ways to optimize the phone and I have read a decent amount about Voodoo lagfix helping with lag and battery life.

The question I had was, does Tweaked V2.2 w/PBJ come with Lagfix installed or is it something I need to add/activate? I apologize in advance if this is kind of a stupid question or if there's a fundamental understand I'm missing. I'm by no means a master with all this stuff and I'm still in the learning stage of all that I can do with a rooted device.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Droid Charge] fadac:
I'm actually wondering the same thing. I just flashed to imoseyon's 4.0 kernel so i could convert to ext4 but im not to sure how? Does it do it automatically or is there anything i have to do? I plan to flash back to PBJ kernel after. (I'm really just trying to get wifi to work w Tweaked v2.2) but my phone is also very laggy as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
As long as you don't have the file /sdcard/voodoo/disable_lagfix, it will automatically convert to ext4 on first boot. To be sure, install Voodoo Sound and check the options. There should be a lagfix section in the app if you are running a compatible kernel (imoseyon is the only one for GB).

If you flashed the version of Tweaked that is labeled as having ext4 conversion included, you shouldn't need this. You can always check your status by running terminal emulator, and typing 'su', followed by 'mount'. Scroll up in the list and find /system, /data, /cache, and /dbdata. They should be ext4 if you're converted. The rest will still be rfs.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
shrike is rarely wrong, however, I'm not so sure that installing the EXT4 version of Tweaked 2.2 will convert you from RFS to EXT4 (not saying that he is wrong, just don't know that is the case). the conversion takes places at the kernel level (I think). IMO's kernel makes the conversion (to/from EXT4/RFS), and I don't think dwith included that kernel is his ROM package (I could be wrong though).

if you want to convert from RFS to EXT4, try my guide posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1763951

but first, make sure which version you have based upon shrike's recommendations.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Yeah he's correct on this. The ext4 zip of the rom, from a /system perspective, is identical to the rom-only and with-kernel zips. The ext4 version does include a kernel (the same as what is in the with-kernel version), but it also includes the tools and script needed to format the usually-formatted partitions as ext4. The only difference between the ext4 and the with-kernel zips is the fact that the ext4 version has the formatting stuffs included.
