AFAIK that new /lib partition is needed because otherwise / or /system will be too small. So, as I understand it some time you'll have to upgrade hboot or you can't use the latest ROMs...

to a first approximation, it appears to work fine without blackrose.

I installed ARHD3.0 on my IncS with HBOOT 6.13 this morning and no problems so far.

Hello guys,i00m stuck at the cyanogen mod 7 logo.

I've flashed the fxp 125 and nonw nothing works.

I've unlock the bootloader and then flash the .ftf that include the fxp 125,the kernel and other stuff.After that i reboot the phone,go to recovery and install the update.zip of fxp125,plus the gapps.And now i'm stuck.What can i do?:confused:

package:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
Same happened here

Wanted to test it and got stuck there to.

Try reflashing another fxp kernel after you flashed the ftf file wich is kernel and rom

Remember with flashtool you can select what to flash

Exclude checkboxes

So if you have a different full rom ftf file exclude the rom and flash kernel and loader
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit25:
hey

why why did you flash that update.zip

u f'd up man.....

repeat the process only this time plz dont flash the update.zip

1. flash the kernel using flash-tool....

2. fxp logo appears on powering on ur phone press the back key and volume down key like a freak repeatedly

3. now do factory wipe, wipe cache partion, wipe dalvik cache....

4.install custom zip from sd card....only fxp 125 and gapps nothng else

NOTHING ELSE

reboot....

VOILA....

pm me if still you stuck

Did You wipe data?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_anfeta92:
Yes,i wipe the data....anyway which kernel is supposed to flash?The one in the package is ok?Should i select the kernel when i choose what file to flash?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Yes, if you mean the left column. No if You mean the right one. So just choose the left one. If the kernel comes with the rom (in the same archive) then it should be ok. Else make sure You didn't take the CM9 one
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_anfeta92:
The problem is i've just read the discussion about that .ftf and people says it won't work because the kernel in there is from cm 9...so i've search for the correct kernel for FXP and i've found that the correct kernel is FXP 124.The problem is that the mirrors (fiberupload) just won't let me download the kernel...with the free download you have to wait...but after a 20 min wait on a page that sad wait for the download i just found impossible to download it.Are there other mirrors to download the FXP 124 kernel???
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
Try searching theres a fxp 123 or 124 full ftf file wich i used a while back ...

You can exlude the rom in flashtool and just flash the kernel

Im not at apc but i believe its exclude system

Or google

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuntstubble:
Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can advise me with the following problem. I bought a unlocked S3 in Belgium (no branding, network locks etc), and the other day I noticed the latest firmware I9300XXBLFB on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

As I use OSX I found out that I needed to use Heimdall to flash it.

I download the ROM, unzipped it, then I renamed the tar.md5 to .tar extracted that which gave me the following files:

boot.img

cache.img

hidden.img

modem.bin

recovery.img

system.img

Now the problem began with the PIT... I required one, and stupidly went off to google in search of an S3 .pit file.... which I found

So I selected the .pit, added the files to their relevant partition, and flashed....

Upon rebooting the phone had updated, however there was no factory reset, everything I had previously was there (to my surprise), but the system info showed the correct rom, baseband, blah blah.

Yesterday I noticed I could not access any internet services. Say I open GMail app, and tried to open a mail, it closed the app after a number of seconds (without displaying the mail contents btw).... no error, just back to the main screen.

I also had problems using 3G or WiFi... nether was stable.

So I reflashed yesterday evening.. at which point I found out how to read in my own .pit file off the phone... but of course I've flashed someone else's previously. I did an MD5 sum on the one I extracted off my phone, and also on the one I downloaded off the net and they still matched.

Still I had the same problems, so I thought perhaps I should drop down a ROM version.

I grabbed a zip file with I9300XXALF2_I9300OXAALF2_I9300XXLF2_HOME.tar.md5 and proceeded to flash it.

Now the phone won't fully boot, it just sits in the Samsung animation and the blue LED pulsing.

I'm guessing I've stuffed up the PIT... the big question is now, what the hell should I do.

FYI I can still get to recovery mode and Odin mode.

Any help / advice would be really appreciated guys.

All the best and thanks in a advance

PS: I just this minute reflashed using Heimdall the I9300XXBLFB. Now it boots up, on first boot it said Updating Android optimsing applications 1/65 and proceeded thru to the point it asks me which language I want... this normal??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
UNZIP THE DOWNLOADED ROM ONCE FROM .RAR TO .TAR/MD5 FILE. AND PUT THE SINGLE .TAR FILE IN PDA SECTION IN ODIN AND FLASH IT. Really, start to read before you do anything :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrbNRG:
the instructions don;t mention requiring a pit, also, why remane .tar.md5 to .tar when the instructions say "Click PDA and select *.tar.md5". seeing as you can still connect with odin, you onlt have a soft brick and you can still use odin and flash something properly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuntstubble:
Erm, think you need to read first... I said I use Heimdall because I'm on OSX.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuntstubble:
Once again, I'm using Heimdall not Odin. I'm on OSX not Windows.

Secondly the tar.md5 file is a tar file containing all the components that make the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Oke, my bad. I don`t use heimdal so can`t help you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Go to recovery (power on with pressing VOL-UP + HOME + POWER when the phone is off) and do a factory reset / wipe data.

This wasn't caused by using a .PIT, though: never use a .PIT ever again, never ever.

OK the phone is running, but it's bizarre ...

Basically I'm connected to my WiFi signal, and Chrome works 100%... but the normal browser does'nt... just hangs, then closes.

GMail if I open it I can see all the mails, if I click on one, it just sits there with the circle going round, then closes, although if I scrolll thru all mails it does load more... very strange.

Seems any default apps that where installed have connection issues... It's really pi**ing me off....

Hi,

I downloaded GalaxyS3RootMac which contained a file called

Thats the one I used ... stupidly ... so I guess I overwrote mine own one...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laum:
I had this exact same thing with browser. That was caused eather from wrong csc or that I mistakenly flashed the firmware using phone field in odin and not pda. Try to change your csc to something else using *#272*IMEI#. That wipes the phone.

People read the damn topic before posting.

Usb jig is for accessing download mode, which he can do just fine without.

The phone is softbricked, not soft-hardbricked.

I've never used Heimdall but afaik it has caused issues in the past.

Is anyone you know using Windows or can you install Windows as Bootcamp on your Mac?

If so, please try again with Odin, but factoryreset your phone before and after.

Please also confirm you're actually on hardware i9300 or i9300T, not e.g. i9308
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuntstubble:
Hi, well you're completely correct I could go bootcamp although I prefer not to. If all else fails I'll do it that way. Sadly today I can't get my hands on a Windows system to use.

The phone is a Benelux model I believe (bought from Mobistar), under that battery it says i9300 from what I remember.

Indeed it feels good. Fluid and fast, but needs some more features such as :

- animation speed

- icons without that square around them

- option to have icons without labels

- option to make status bar not visible

- slide gestures, toggle notifications... etc.

What I like:

- graphics of digita clock

- launcher menu option well integrated

- transparency of widgets, though it would be amazing if you can set different transparency for different widget

- good flow, smooth and fast

This is just my opinion. Hope it helps. I'm using it right now and will keep it to see it's progress.

Im coming from a 14day trial period with the evo 4g lte to the S3 and love both phones. they are both great. I like the S3 as a phone just a little bit better but I miss my evo 4g lte purely because I got twice as good battery life then my s3. How is it the evo dominates the s3 in this regaurd. Both devices are/were rooted with good battery saving roms. I can get a full day of medium/light usage without charging the s3. But I could get 2 days easily with medium to light usage. What gives?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nabbed:
You are confused.

First of all, your screenshot is useless - you don't show the actual graph, screen on time, nor voice calls.

Second of all, I own both phones at the same time. SGS3 is somewhat better at battery life than evo lte. Either 1) your sgs3 battery is defective, or 2) you haven't used sgs3 enough to allow calibration of voltage to battery capacity, or 3) your signal strength is not the same as with evo lte - lower signal strength = more battery consumption.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] QWIKSTRIKE:
With light usage I got over 14 hours of battery usage and 90% battery strength left. With the bad signal reception at times I get 14 hours and 65%, which tells me it also depends on reception. Now let me just say that bar fro bar -dbm for -dbm my SG III is on par with my Photon in weak signal and strong signal reception every where that I have been. I still have my Photon comparing signal strenth bars, and -dbm for signal reception, and hands down they are very close -dbm and signal wise. I usually dont see more than 2-3 difference in -dbm.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Iphony89:
I returned the evo lte for the s3 days ago and I couldn't be happier. I was getting great battery life with the evo but then I realized that it was because I didn't like the phone and all I did was make phone calls and send texts.

An airave will definately help. You'll have full bars in your place (only annoyance is it will drop your call if you leave the house when your phone drops off the airave).

Actually anyone can do wifi calling if they have a Google voice number. It's just that T-Mobile has it built in and doesn't require Google voice. An app named Groove IP is great for this. However I don't think it would make much of a difference in battery life over a regular call.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Aridon:
keep in mind guys, the forums are combined. GSM users are almost always going to have better battery life than their cdma counterparts.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] r3a1ist:
Yeah but you cant swap in backup batteries on the eve lte . backup battery usage negates all battery usage issues.

Truth but like you said only T-Mobile has it out of the box.I have use groove IP in the past and is not too bad actually.good thing about my plan is the T-Mobile wifi calling is free minutes even if I'm outside the us.is not perfect but it works fair enough :)

Hi all,

I have a one x on Vodafone Australia.

When I got it from Voda, it came with 4.01 software version 1.26.862.2 which isn't receiving any of the OTA updates (apparently because 862.2 was not released to the public so I must be mistaken even tho voda have seen it!?!)

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to update to .3 or any of the new software versions and where the RUU's may be found?

HTC and Voda have been as useful as pissing in the wind.

[Networking] zaprenki:
Hey!

Suppose I have an android phone without a SIM-card in. The phone connects to internet via my local Wi-Fi (from wireless router with firewall to modem to network), so it has an IP-address. I suppose also that even without a SIM-card the phone is connected to the mobile phone network because for example I can ring emergency number 112.

My question is: is there any possibility that the _phone network_ gets to know the phone's IP-address? By which way?

Thanks in advance for your answer :)
[Networking] Reilly1812:
Don't see how it matters in reality. Your phone is being assigned a private ip address, most likely one a 192.168 network since very few change that in their wifi config. The phone really won't know what your outside address is.

Still Charged Up
[Networking] zaprenki:
Well, my question is actually quite practical, here's my situation:

I' ve bought a mobile phone from some most-likely-junkie-girl at the street. It's a brand new android-phone and it seems to be working flawlessly, she gave it to me for little more than one third of it's market price. I don't know where it comes from, and I really don't wanna know. I do suppose though that the phone's IMEI has by some way been blocked in the mobile-network. I haven't tested by inserting a SIM-card yet.

My question is how safe is it to use this phone as a "home-android-machine"? I mean connecting to the internet via local WiFi. I've done a factory reset and I'm going to install a custom ROM anyway. Is there a risk that the mobile-network by some way discovers the phone's external IP-address which can be tracked back to me? Can I even try being a bit more risky and connect my Google-account to the phone while connected via WiFi? Is there some risk that traffic through local WiFi sends to mobile network?

--Thank you for not posting any "moral" answers, it's _not_ moral advice I'm seeking through this question.--

Thanks...
[Networking] Mr.Mischief:
I don't think phones are usually tracked down. Just blacklisted and forgotten.
