Will we see unlocked Nexus for Verizon in the future when we use only LTE? What do you think? Its only thing keeping me from leaving my unlimited data on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You mean when Verizon goes to LTE only? That'll be a long long way into the future before we see that. I can almost guarantee you by the time that Verizon goes to LTE only, they'll completely kill unlimited plans outright no matter what you do.

At that point who knows what the landscape of unlocked LTE devices will look like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
You make a good point, I guess it would make sense for them to kill all unlimited data by then.

I am running factory mode el29 and it keeps resetting on me when i do random things like messaging or browsing the internet. I will automatically get an instant reset when i press my power button more than once when i try to put it in stand by mode. I tried jigging it many times but my phone has never accept it. I've only successfully used my jig one time and that's about it.

Anybody have an suggestions? I have a SquareTrade warranty but thats the last thing i want to do. Any suggestions would be nice thank you:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
It's funny because I soft bricked last night.. But the information I'm about to provide, it may be a shorter easier route but I will just state what I did

I got into odin mode

Once I was in odin mode I connected my phone to my pc.. Let drivers install and my phone was recognize

I had a sfhub one click package (el29 stock rooted) used that.. Phone reset and I was stock rooted again

After that I ran the el29 cwm option from the epic 4G Touch package

Now I wanted to get back to ICS..

So I got into clockwork mod recovery

Flashed Rujelus format x2 zip (calkuins works as well)

Restored my Nandroid (or you can flash a rom(

Before I rebooted I flashed a ics kernel and then rebooted my phone and I'm back running the Blu Kuban.. No issues

I'm so excited I can't even process it! I've already put my $0.02 in on the thread in the General forum. But O.O.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Selim873:
I previously put this on the Xperia Play forum but I think this should be here since this can apply for every android user.

Okay, I know there aren't too many people from the Wii community here, but there's something of interest to maybe introduce you to, especially if you're interested in emulation on the Android platform.

I don't know if GBA emulators for Android support JoyBus connectivity via TCP/IP such as VBA-M for Windows, but this is something that the Wii and Gamecube community have been pondering about for a while.

Well, there's a developer that goes by the name tueidj on GBATemp, a Nintendo console homebrew forum and database, who coded a backup loader for playing Gamecube games on the Wii called Devolution. The name was because of the Gamecube's Prototype name, Dolphin, and the Wii's PT name being Revolution. Combining those names into Devolution, also because the loader will eventually be able to use Wii peripherals on the Gamecube titles such as the Classic Controller.

On the main forum topic for the project, there is a feature that is in active development that is VERY close to being released within the next few updates.

- GBA connectivity to a GBA emulator via TCP/IP

Long story short, this is what this means.

That can already be done using the GBA emulator for PC called VBA-M alongside with the Gamecube/Wii emulator for PC called Dolphin, running on the same PC of course.

Now, if joybus connectivity via TCP/IP becomes or is already possible on GBA Emulators for Android, you could use your android phone as a "GBA" connected to the "Gamecube" (Wii), so your phone could be your controller on Zelda Four Swords Adventures, your Sonic Adventure Chao Garden, or even your Tingle Tuner on Wind Waker.

What I dream of seeing is having the possibility to use our beloved Android devices as GBA's as a controller for Four Swords, a Tingle Tuner for Wind Waker, etc.

If this feature isn't on GBA Emulators for Android, I think this is something to give a quick word to developers about. VBA-M is infact open source so I'm sure that can help.

http://vba-m.com/index.php?ind=downloads&op=entry_view&iden=85

I hope a developer is willing to give this a shot! If I could, I would!

This is the future you guys! :laugh:

Welcome Aboard!!

If interested, check out the Discussion page for Devolution, a GBA Link tutorial may even be posted when the developer makes that feature available.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] silverton:
I'm confused about this counter... Is the purpose really just so samsung can say no to a warranty claim? Is there a limit to the number of times the recovery can be flashed? I want to flash the new touch CWM but am afraid to do so if I only have so many times to flash a recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neotoky:
Yes, the purpose of the counter is so that the manufacturer can reject service warranty if they see it tripped. I don't believe there is a limit of how many times you can flash. I might be wrong.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chadster214:
I just hope we can get a working Triangle Away on our devices.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lawful123:
cockwork

Does using clockwork trip the counter?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djricekcn:
no, it does not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KillaHurtz:
Brilliant! Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] M9x3mos:
Awesome!

Just to make sure I have this right then.

We can Root, install CWM, and then install custom roms without triping the counter?!?!

And then if needed I assume you can flash stock odin!

All with no trip of the counter?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
If we use this, can we use the Galaxy S3 toolkit to install CWM? Or for that matter, can we just use the Rom Manager app from the app store and use it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrRobinson:
yes

yes. Once there is a way to reset the counter people won't care as much about not tripping it. Unless the reset method is difficult or dangerous but for now as long as you never initially trip the counter you can simply flash back to stock and your phone is still covered under warranty.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
OK, I used this, and everything appears to have gone fine. I have root now. Curious though, when it booted back up, nothing appears to have changed, except superuser is there now. I thought it would have reset the whole phone back to factory new.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrRobinson:
Nope. it'll overwrite anything in /system you may have done. but doesn't touch sdcard or /data.

So that means if you had a cm9 or aokp loaded and used this you'd boot into a bunch of errors more than likely and would want to manually factory reset.

Edit: also i had no way to test this so you are confirmation it is working. prob should have put that in the first post but was late last night and forgot. So sorry and thanks!

(you weren't at risk of tripping counter, i've done this before, worst case was system image wouldn't flash and you'd have to load the stock one via odin)

Edit2: plus you are like 20 min from me so if I broke your phone I'd have come and fixed it ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
Speaking of if I ever need to odin back to stock, I have the stock T999 rom from samsung, and it has 2 files in the zip, a .dll and a .tar. How do I use these to revert back to stock? I guess the .tar goes under pda, where does the .dll go? Or does it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anthonykash:
If you're worried about warranty just wait firva triangle away, personally I have insurance. I'll toss my phone in a lake and bring it back that way lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrRobinson:
.dll goes in recycle bin.

.tar in pda.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
Lol, OK....

How Do We Know If We Tripped Counter

I have a question, how do we know if we tripped the counter? I used ODIN to flash Clockword.tar and then I went into Clockwork to flash Superuser and flash a Stock T-Mobile ROM from Whitehawk. Once I booted i downloaded busybox and installed it to complete the rooting process. I never seen any warning triangles, the only thing I worried about was flashing the custom recovery in download moad, but its not a ROM so it should not have tripped the counter and any ROM flashed I have done, all have been in Clockwork MOD Recovery, never in download mode through ODIN
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spazoid:
apps

new to this whole trip counter thing...what exactly does trip it?

IE does adding rooted apps such as google wallet trip?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] avataranjie:
Makes it so there won't be a number on your flash counter. Flash counter shows number=voided warranty
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrRobinson:
just flashing something modified via odin will trip it. once you have root you can do what you want to the /system or via cwm and it won't get tripped.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AllAboutAndroids:
Sorry bout that! Once given a chance I'll reupload the T-Mobile file.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggnoodle:
awesome! thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
Would be greatly appreciated
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hucesar1017:
I don't understand. I thought rooting your phone or flashing anything to it didn't void the warranty?

Adams video here on xda tv says it don't.

(4th of july vid)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Just use triangle away. Why is anyone still talking about this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] avataranjie:
Because there's a chance that other root methods will make us lose our imei but that problem is almost solved :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrRobinson:
depends on carrier. For att if flash counter is tripped or they know you rooted your phone i've personally known them to give the phone back.

sprint seems the most lenient on this I believe taking the phone unless the root was the cause of the issue. User can decide what he wants to do.

Cause this is quite an easy way to root in the first place and won't require you to use triangle away. Some people don't want to buy an app for one time use if there is a simple way to avoid it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
MRRobinson,

I appreciate the work behind this thread, however it IS actually pointless right now as none of the T-Mo hosted images match the MD5 you have in the OP. So, nobody can use it? :( I ended up going to long route again yesterday and triangled away the flash count. WANTED to use this method, but all come back with non matching MD5's, extracted or not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Fr0stbyteX:
I have also downloaded this image from the OP as well as copies from the other mirrors from this thread, and found that the MD5's do not match the one in the OP, even though all of the copies that I have downloaded are identical. I am wondering if the wrong MD5 is listed in the OP....

Even though Triangle Away works now (and it's free on XDA), I would still rather use this method to never trip the counter in the first place. Now that the IMEI is no longer an issue, I'd like to proceed but I want to make sure I'm using the proper image.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrRobinson:
more than likely the md5 in the OP are off. People have used the images there successfully so its prob just the md5's. but i'm not hosting it and I don't have tmo so can't verify myself. if all your copies are identical then you are good.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
True. Touche'
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WhoWhere:
I'm sorry I haven't been able to post this sooner. I've had a very busy day. I used this root method after downloading the file 07/28/2012. I noticed the MD5 didn't match up but had luckily backed up the MD5 prior to the OP being updated with the new MD5. The original OP listed a MD5 sum of: 057d7d1c39dd415ee9091297c53b8ceb for the T-Mobile image. The new OP lists the MD5 as: c2bae57ad0dcfecc8c07b38d0e8da506. Those who download the image should notice: the MD5 sum of the image remains the same as the old MD5 (from the test I did anyways). My MD5 sum checker confirms that it is indeed: 057D7D1C39DD415EE9091297C53B8CEB. After I flashed the file everything went fine and I am able to report that my T-Mobile branded S3 is running great. Of course I can't be held liable if you don't have the same result I did but the MD5 is the same as reflected in the original Root66 post.

I hope this helps. Have a great night
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] V6993:
soooo im wayyy behind. i got the phone in odin, and when i plug it into the laptop, nothing happens. how do i proceed on putting on the custom rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AMRivlin:
I am considering rooting. I haven't rooted since NexusS days.

Can anyone confirm even if I wish to stay stock:

First root wipes all my apps, from then on I can create a backup of apps and settings through CWM?

Would it be better to wait for Touchwiz/JB 4.1 stock, then root?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AMRivlin:
I have completed the root, with little issue. Is it possible to install Clockwork Recovery without having to wipe the phone? I would like to install that so I can install the google wallet fix.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrRobinson:
kies shouldn't come into play here. power off the phone (pull battery). without any cable connect insert batt and hold down vol down and power.

should enter download mode. open Odin and connect usb. should see phone connect. flash tar from OP.

If you see Kies anywhere on phone or on your computer re-read the above again as you are doing something wrong.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] atagent:
Pulled out battery, put it back in, without cable connected, put battery in, holding volumn up, home, power, and it does NOT go into download mode.

It only goes back to the same screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." No other option, nothing else pops up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cobra281:
tried to search but haven't yielded any results...

what's the difference between this method, and using the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT [SNAPDRAGON EDITION]" with the "triangle away by chainfire" reset procedure?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrRobinson:
I think when it is on that screen you can flash it with Odin. did you launch odin and try connecting to it? and flash a tar from the OP here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] atagent:
Yes sir, tried that also. It's alright, I went ahead and sent the phone back. Hopefully I'll get one that I can root right away without issues! Thank you for the replies! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spazoid:
Isnt that contradictory considering the directions for rooting in this thread require odin
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scooter1942:
if you flash stock firmware, the counter doesnt get tripped. the .zips in the OP are completely stock ROMs, except they have root access and superuser installed. somehow they snuck this under the radar
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jrwingate6:
I don't mean to be a Negitive Nancy or anything but does tripping the counter really matter all that much? I've had many tings go wrong with Rooted phones on T-Mobile (all of course had nothing to do with Root) while still under the one year manufacturers warranty and every single time, T-Mobile exchanged the phone for me. All they did was ship me a new phone and tell me to ship my old one back. Before shipping it back, I just made sure the stock ROM was loaded back onto it and I never heard anything from them. I never even bothered to un-root them.

In the end, once T-Mobile gets the defective phone back, I'm sure all they do is throw it in a bin with a note attached to it. Once the bin gets filled with enough phones, they probably just ship them back to Samsung.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redh0rse:
After getting a "FAIL" a few times I decided to do this method using Odin3 v1.85. Worked for me.

I pressed vol UP, power and home to get out of message saying that I need Kies to restore.

Held off installing clockwork due to IEMI disappearing.

Thnaks OP.

Rooting and romming doesn't void your entire warranty. Who cares if they know how many times you've flashed? Where did you guys hear this?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
Just an FYI, you need to hold Volume DOWN + home + Power to get into download mode. Volume up gets you into recovery. Plus, when phone reboots you need to let go of power button, else it will just keep reboooting.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I did send back the phone and the new replacement is coming tomorrow. Let's hope the process will be smooth. Will report back then. Thank you and good night!

There are always risks. There's even a warning on his thread that it could brick your phone. It has been tested for tmobile with success. I would only use triangle away if you need to send for warranty. If I were you, I'll flash stuff without increasing counter from now on through CWM. Use Mr.Robinson method if you ever need to start over with stock with root. I would also recommend mobile odin from play store or here

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dantemp:
Yes, I would like to know this as well. Why is the rooted ROM considerably bigger than the stock Samsung ROM? 500MB is a big difference. Anyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
I wonder if it has something to do with the original file being a .tar.md5, and the rooted file is just a .tar? Is the original compressed?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dantemp:
It's my understanding the files, .tar and .tar.md5 are the same, with the only difference being the one that ends in .md5 has a checksum integrated in the file. Not sure how it works, but I believe it would barely cause a size difference, surely not 500MB. So unless the OP can tell us why there is a 500MB difference in his rooted stock file and the stock file from Samsung, I have no clue.

Well, as much as I appreciate all the hard work from the devs on this site, I'm not flashing this until the OP can answer why there is such a big size difference. I'm definitely careful with what I flash. Anyone on Wind Mobile should know that Wind's phones, unlike the bigger service providers, come with no bloat. It's a little discomforting that the OP hasn't answered back yet. So until then, I'll patiently wait. 500MB is a really big difference in size.
