Phone wont boot after Kernal Flash

Hey guys,

So I was running the Ultimatum 1.3 ROM and it was working fine. I tried to use WiFi but it wouldnt work. I then realized I had to reflash the ktoonsez kernel in order for it to work. So i reflashed it and now the phone refuses to boot up. It just goes to where it says "Samsung Galaxy S III" on the screen and then it goes black and nothing happens! I gave tried just about every method i can think of and it wont work! I have reformated and reflashed the rom and the kernel and still nothing works!

I need this phone working again ASAP! Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! :crying::crying:

You flashed the AOSP kernal with a Touchjizz ROM... What did you expect would happen? Flash the Touchjizz KT kernal...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] proper69:
I've searched and haven't succeeded.

I'm with rogers. Had AOKP flashed lean kernel. I went to flash an update I got an error and aokp wouldn't flash. I odined back to rogers stock Lh1. Flashed cwm went to flash aokp error again. I read somewhere it could have to do with build.prop or something. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] proper69:
so odd. ive been flashing since the captivate came out. I always clean flash, factory data reset, wipe cache/dalvik, wipe system and data,install rom, install gapps. For some reason last night i was getting an error after installing lean kernel, and even after going back to stock rogers. Well i went back to stock rogers again last night when installing aokp wouldnt work.

The phone was getting service and not, i thought my phone was borked and ready to go to best buy and get a new one(insurance). I wake up in the morning i have lte service, all day no problems, get home hook up to my computer to find that my device was wiped of everything. But then installing aokp worked again. Oddest set of events ever.

anyways the latest aokp seams to be super fast and i hope i can get some lte going on it.

Thanks as always task.

New LTE toggle isn't working for me. LTE stays connected all the time. I tried it on 10/3 and 10/3b. Is this happening to anyone else, or am I going to have to wipe?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
you dont need to wipe. you need to actually read the changelog.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MdX MaxX:

Hello!

Im currently using the cm10 rom last update and i have cwm 6.0.1.2, and i noticed some cool options in the aopk rom.

Can i just flash the aopk rom or I need to wipe the device first? I dont want to install everything again :(

I read that the battery usage is better in the aopk, is it true?

and last question, i need to install gapps again for the aopk or its build-in?

10x and have nice weekend... :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TonyStark R.I.P.:
There are very detalied directions here and yes you need to flash gapps again. The one you have for CM10 is fine.

Not sure why but its begginning to sound like my rom control is missing some things. I just flashed the 7/26 release, did full wipe before as well but, I still dont have full rom control options.

ALso, my battery wont charge past 40% for some reasons. Idk if it actually isnt charging or its just saying it isnt charged. It does show that its "charging", just never goes up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:

This was an issue for Canadian carriers. It was fixed in the latest CM10 build, and I'm curious if AOKP/JB now has it resolved.

Have any Canadians tried the 07/26 release to see if we can select LTE?

I tried to get music to play via Bluetooth in my car this morning on the new build and it didn't work (still plays through phone speakers even though connected via Bluetooth). Doesn't look like a A2DP fix made it in to the 7/26 update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theMAGNUM:
I'm loving this ROM but during the last update 7/26 I somehow lost root and cannot get it back..I updated superuser from market and tried to update binaries but it is stating that I don't have root therefore, I can't update the binaries. I re-tried installing root again but it won't stick. I also wiped everything again, and tried to install the rom with GAPS and fixed permissions, still no dice.

Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions, or answers for this? Needless to say, I'm pretty frustrated over here. Phone works and all functionality is also working besides root access.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] magn2o:
Before I flash, could anyone please confirm, with the JB 7/26 release, whether or not Picasa sync is working in the Gallery (and doesn't affect the camera)? :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pdubcramp:
Obviously you tried to restore your nandroid backup?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theMAGNUM:
Yes, I was successful in that. However, root is still missing and not sticking despite re-flashing the root zip through CWM. Also, I've tried to delete superuser but it will not let me, it'll only let me uninstall the updates.

Thoughts?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pudge12:
quick question, im not sure how restoring data might affect going from ICS to JB. Normally I would make a Nandroid, update, restore data. Will I be able to do this, or how can i keep all my data, like pictures, downloaded ringtones, and app data? Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pdubcramp:

4.2 Jelly Bean Update

Task I am pretty sure you heard of the new 4.2 update that is coming out for Jelly bean soon, when this update is pushed to the public do you upgrade your ROM to this update right away or does it take time? (Which I am sure it does)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TonyStark R.I.P.:
That's pushing the edge bro, its the same as asking for an ETA.

It will happen when it happens;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aXiMus:
Unfortunately updating the modem didn't work.

I tried the Bell JB TW Leak and I get the notifications, but I miss running AOKP. Tried YouMail as a solution, but I don't care for a 3rd party having my VM. May have to wait until the next modem update.

I am seeing a few others are having the issue with other devices so it must be something in the way ASOP/AOKP handles notifications.

Thank you folks for you suggestions.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
First be sure you have lte coverage... did the stock ROM say 4g lte or just 4g?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jfp999:
I know I have lte coverage because on the stock rom it would indicate lte and I got lte speeds 30+mbps. On AOKP, I get H+ but no lte. I went to an lte covered area and I got absolutely no data at all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aXiMus:
What recovery, modem and rom revision are you running?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
1.) You are basically asking for an ETA. You know full well that i don't give those.

2.) I do not play with rumors about new updates from google. it's a huge waste of time and all speculation until it's a reality. when they release it. they release it. when aokp updates to it. aokp updates to it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jfp999:
NVM, I figured it out. I went to APN and switched it to ATT LTE (pta) instead of the default ATT (wap.cingular). Out of curiosity, why is it set as default to wap.cingular? Thanks, everyone for the help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
mine defaults to the pta one
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jfp999:
Hmm... That's interesting. The only thing I've changed is a different kernel. Is it possible that a custom kernel could change those settings? Oh and BTW keep the great work, Task!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
kernel wouldn't have anything to do with it. but either way. whatever apn it defaults to is really unnecessary considering that not everyone has 4G. so for it to default to one or the other wouldn't really make any difference considering everyone needs to choose which one they need to use for the type of service they have. glad you like it. ;)

Does this Rom ever have what some call milestones? Or is it more like some of the Roms that change ever day or close to that? I was just wondering is there certain releases that are more stable than others? I don't have any serious issues, just wondering.

No milestones. And yes. The latest updates are generally more stable than older updates.

Ok so something i never understood why have both rom control and ktweaker and how do i only allow ktweakrr because rom control keeps overwriting the settings i set in ktweaker
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Huh? Ktweaker and ROM Control have nothing in common other than the performance settings. Don't set the performance settings in ROM control.

P.S- Not really sure what you never understood though. Not everyone using ktoonsez's kernel so not everyone has ktweaker. Therefore they actually use the performance settings in ROM control.

Hello,

I want to ask a question that probably asked but i cant find the answer.

I read in the thread od aopk that they recommend to fully wipe the device before every update for best performance of the rom, i want to know if that what everybody do? Every update we need to config everything from the start? Ringtone, wallpapers, homescreen with all the aplications? It looks like a lot of work to do every 2-3 days, and what about the call log and all the sms? Everything is deleted?

Maybe there is a better or shorter way to restore all the data and i dont know it...

Thanks for the help, great rom!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grubby0:
Not everyone fully wipes their device before flashing updates. Some people just wipe cache & dalvik and flash rom and gapps. But as a rule of Task's and good practice if you encounter any problems you should factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik and even throw in a format system for good measures. This does increase the time it takes to get your phone back to where you had it but also decreases the chance that you encounter problems from "leftover" stuff. With Titanium Backup used to restore user apps with data only, AOKP BACKUP, which will restore most of your rom settings and nova or apex backup depending on which you use to restore desktop, you can have your phone back in as little as ten minutes. But if you have a lot of extra stuff like kernel changes and what not it could take longer. I have heard some people causing a full wipe to take an hour to restore their phone as was. Either way you should not report any problems until you have fully wiped and made sure the problem isn't on your end. Just to note I usually just try to run an hour or so with nothing restored just to make sure the rom takes to my phone without any problems, then I start restoring other stuff, but this is just my practice. Hope that helps.

EDIT: When you ever have doubts always follow the directions in the OP of the ROM thread! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gilad.pryzler:
wow, first of all thank you for the long detailed answer!

i will try to work with titanium and aopk backup.

i dont have any problems with the rom besides it takes me at least 2 minutes to lock on gps signal, but i dont want to fully wipe the device

fo these.

Lockscreen Weather Icons

So, like a couple of you, I wanted some other lockscreen weather icons but theming wouldn't replace them despite the icons being in the right place.

I did eventuall find a workaround but it is rather involved.

What you have to do is extract the framework-res.apk, open it with 7zip and replace the weather icons in the "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi" folder with whichever weather icons you like.

I've uploaded a copy of a flashable zip with the Tick weather icons so you can test it out. The framework-res.apk was pulled from the 10/16 build so it's primed for today, but when that framework-res.apk changes, we'll have to do this again.

If you'd like to do this yourself in the future, replace the weather icons in your current build's framework-res.apk located at /system/framework/ (the icons themselves are in "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi") using 7zip then replace the framework-res.apk in the zip at "AOKP Tick Lockscreen Weather Icons.zip\system\framework\" and flash.

I'm somewhat helpful!
