[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
I have gone to CM9 and CM10 and back to stock via the Odin method at least twice now. No problems here. Have flashed Paranoid Android too. Used Odin to flash over the rooted image file invisiblek gave us (not the root66 image) multiple times. Have used Odin to flash the newest LG1 modem file. I have tried flashing CM9 and CM10 using TWRP 2.2.0 (it doesn't work), and I have used CWM 6.0.0.8 and CWM 6.0.1.0 both to successfully flash CM9 and CM10 and I am running dhacker29's 7-26 CM10 build as my daily driver.

The very first time I tried a kexec based recovery/rom was when I used CWM 6.0.0.8 to flash the early kexec CM9 build that required you to manually flash in recovery to boot every time. After using it a couple hours I used Odin to go back to stock. On initial boot after Odin'ing stock but before any rooting or otherwise, I had no data. Used the reprovision code and it came back no problem. Not since then has that happened when going back and forth between kexec and touchwizz.

Still no problems with IMEI. I guess the more you do without issue the more emboldened you become, but I have a backup phone on standby. :D

no, this IMEI bug was around long before Kexec on the VZW GSIII, the other carrier models such as ATT/TMobile/etc....were having these issues way back in the beginning and they have never used kexec based kernels/recoveries because they don't need them. So this problem is neither specific to kexec, locked vs. unlocked bootloaders nor the SCH-i535 device itself.

THIS THREAD in the other carrier forum sections dates back to the 5th of July and the problem existed before then. Also notable is THIS THREAD which is where a centralized speadsheet of information is being compiled and cross referenced.

Maybe Titanium Backup will enable their app to make a backup for you once its determined just what all you do have to backup to get everything nailed down.

Maybe someone could come up with some generic data that could be input into an editor and then you just copy your stats from your box the phone came in when new. Or would that get into cloning an the illegal side of it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] henrys01:
It's happening to S3's from the other carriers that don't need kexec to load CM so that's probably not it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] claribanter:
Tried flashing both basebands. Odin unrooted stock rom>Clear data/cache>Odin baseband>Clear data/cache>root>push efs>reprovision. Nothing helped. Went to verizon store and ordered a replacement. While I wait, I could try something else if we want to experiment.

Thanks a ton for this helpful tip. I haven't tried CM9 or so because of fear of losing IMEI. I may try later since I backed up this...

I just restored my IMEI from 0 to normal :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] djricekcn:
there's lot of thing on this thread right now so...are you referring to post one of the thread?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
No. If your IMEI turns to 0 (just one 0), the restore method in the OP will not work. I just fixed it with some help (from peoplearmy) and am wondering whether anyone facing the issue of seeing their IMEI as "0" would like assistance unbricking their device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Peoplearmy:
This is not a sure fire way just yet since we've only confirmed with one person (PureMotive) that their IMEI has been restored. It is however promising news and we are still trying to get more people with missing IMEI's to step up and give it a shot. Like PureMotive said it will require different steps from what has already been posted on here and it's not as easy as running a few commands but it is a repeatable process nonetheless and we are indeed excited!!! :)

I take that back confirmed two IMEI restored. Mine was from a backup I made in QPST. I then purposely forced my phone to wipe IMEI (not without much stress though trust me!!) and then restored IMEI...I am however on AT&T so there may be a few differences though maybe not too much. Of course good news is PureMotive is on Verizon.

Hi, I installed the wrong ROM for my phone. I intended to install TrickDroid TMO-US 6.2 but I downloaded and installed TrickDroid 6.0 by mistake.

I also flashed the kernel/boot.img associated with TrickDroid 6.0 as well, but I'm not sure if it was successful or not.

Can I just flash TrickDroid TMO-US 6.2 from CWM Recovery mode without wiping everything? How do I retain my apps and data, I've flashed other devices before and I'm tired of setting everything up over and over again.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
Just use Titanium backup and back up your app and data.

Full wipe and flash T-mobile 6.2 plus boot.img (or use TWRP recovery, no need to flash boot.img)
[HTC One S] coronangel:
I dont think it would be smart to do so since they use a different base. just to be safe i wouldnt do so, just use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data and do a clean install of Trickdroid 6.2 TMOUS.
[HTC One S] hodeez:
Thanks guys! I'm assuming Titanium backs up to SD card?
[HTC One S] Pheroh:
Yes it does by default but you could change that. You could also do a cloud backup to dropbox, box, or Google drive.

You don't need to backup system apps. Just yours. But you could if you want to.

i new to android platform ...switching from iphone. I love android and i dont think i will ever switch back to iOS but i have few questions.

Curently i am running Kyan ROM based on stock ROM.

1. How can i flash only the kernel?

2. All those ROMs do they come with stock kernels?

3. What is a good kernel for GS3?

thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] crash822:
Most if not all kernals posted ATM are flashable in cwm. Just put the file into the SD card, boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache partition then use install from sdcard to install the kernal.

I don't know what the best kernal is as you haven't specified what carrier you are on. Just try them and see which you like best. Keep in mind it takes a few days for it to settle correctly

I am on phone so expect errors

Hi guys,

I was testing a bluetooth headphone and noticed the volume quite low even on the highest setting the headphone could give.

Is there a way to increase the volume the phone provides over a bluetooth connection with those secret codes?

I was trying this method but the code doesn't work at all:

Samsung Focus Audio Level ChangesIncrease Speaker Volume

1- Go to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634# or start the Diagnosis app by clicking it from your app menu.

2- Input *#0002*28345# to get to the Audio menu.

3- See the last option named “Device Gain (max/min)”... Hit the “Get” option next to it.

4- Now from among the 3 fields: in the second one enter 1600 and in the third field enter 0.

6- Hit “Set”.

7- Tap “Start” button at the bottom of the app.

8- Exit Diagnosis by clicking the windows home button then restart your phone.

Increase Headphone Volume

1- First and foremost make sure that your headphones are attached to your phone, as the fix won’t work otherwise.

2- Go to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634# or start the Diagnosis app by clicking it from your app menu.

3- Input *#0002*28345# in the diagnosis screen.

4- Navigate to “Device Gain (max/min)” and hit the "Get" button next to it.

5- In the 3 fields, enter these values respectively 5, 1100 and –1100 (some people use 1500 in second field but I think it is too high)

6- Hit "Set".

7- on the next line below change the AUDIENCE.CFG to "on".

8- Tap on the "Start" button at the bottom of the app.

9- Exit Diagnosis by clicking the windows home button then restart your phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @denny:
i have tried everything and i ended up using audioboost from play store , its a little rough around the edges but it gives it a good boost

In the Stock Music Player:Settings > Equalizer > Custom > Move the Levers all the way up,all of them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
or use voodoo louder, Its a paid app (99p) and works well (Needs kernel support, So check before buying)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mephisto_POA:
Do they add distortion? Increasing the boost in the equalizer won't affect the quality ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
Does voodoo really work when using bluetooth headphones? I think it only works or if the headphones are plugged into the 3.5 mm jack. But maybe I'm wrong because I don't use bluetooth headphones.

Ok so i bought the N7000 and i am genuinely dissapointed by the volume level in headphones. Coming from iphone 3g everything is top notch except for the volume level. I am on stock Samsung ICS 4.0.3 and even the videos are not loud enough. iphone 3g which is like 3 yrs old had an awesome loudness level and quality. Anyway to increase this? :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
Honestly are you people deaf? At least you must be hearing impaired. When I turn up the volume to the maximum it hurts my ears. It's by no means convenient anymore. I don't want to insult anybody but I am really wondering how someone can claim the sound through the headphones is not loud enough. Maybe your source is not loud enough because like I said, I cannot listen to my mp3 files at the highest level, it hurts. So here are my propositions: Either check your source (sound files) or buy voodoo louder.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Have to agree with altae there, although I use in ears which are notably louder than cans or over ears. If it really bothers you try paranoid which has quite major amp settings so you can max way beyond stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LAKAME_MAN:
I listen to music with the lowest volume and it still hurts my ears.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
Perhaps you need to change your choice of music:laugh::silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ethan3686:
I need a fix that works with stock ics. Dont want to root. And yes the NOTE is not loud enough. Like it or not. Htc has higher loudness too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Poweramp offers slight volume boost... Just checking, have you tried adjusting the music volume in settings?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LAKAME_MAN:
:D

I listen to jpop.

Nothing strange there.

Though the speaker is not loud enough.. I don't understand the complains 'bout the headphones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
I can agree on that, the speaker isn't that good. But I bought it as a phone and not a ghetto blaster so I don't really care.

Sent from my Galaxy Note running ICS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ethan3686:
ok so judging by the replies i think i should root and use voodoo loud. Does it really crank up the volume high?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
It does but not that much (according to the dev. 1.5 db). Samsung has already increased the max. volume with ICS.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
I flashed a new ROM this morning. I usually only back up user apps and data, but this time I backed up all user data and system data. Something towards 300 items to be backed up.

I have done a restore like this before and TB has usually said something like 'the android device id is not the same as previously, would you like to restore the old id?" but it hasn't asked me that in a while now.

I restored everything. It kept my txts, my widget layout, and restored all my accounts and sync, apparently. Most impressive is that it kept the info for bluetooth and is still paired with my car! I haven't used it much to this full extent, as I said.

My question is, after flashing a new ROM, does restoring like this cause the ROM to get messy, as opposed to going in and downloading and setting up the phone manually? It kinda concerns me that TB doesnt ask everytime if I want to revert to the previous android device id. Maybe that has something to do with me only flashing the same ROM (but different versions of) instead of different ROMs from different devs...?

Anyone have any suggestions? I Just want to be sure I'm using TB right? >_>?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
You generally should not be restoring system data. It can cause more problems than its worth with some roms
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chinchillables:
I restore system info sometimes, but ONLY a few things.

WiFi access points

Settings/Bluetooth

Contacts/calls (sometimes... this one I think puts back MMS stuff which is why I do it)

Email Account Settings

Accounts

Application Widgets

I NEVER restore any other system info other than that. I DO restore my previous ID though, as I believe it works with your registration keys for apps you actually paid for, etc. I know some games, apps weren't working properly until I restored it.

I have a rooted Xperia Arc S, and I am interested in changing my Rom. At the moment I have MooDed ICS 90.4, but I was wondering if there are any better Roms I should use...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnoguti:
Hi,

I know some people already went through this and i'd like to hear from them how they solved it and what are your thoughts about this issue. (I'm not sure if i solved it yet...)

It was all ok yesterday night. Received calls, sent messages through Whatsapp, Facebook, read articles on Flipboard, and set up the clock alarm and left it on the screen (in that dark mode with blue numbers - my phone is set to never sleep when charging).

And no, the phone didn't drop/suffered a hard impact or anything liquid came near the phone.

Plugged my phone to charge on the wall, the charging bolt icon appeared on the battery icon and i went to sleep. (The battery was at 34%)

I woke up this morning, battery was 100% charged as expected, so i unplugged it. Just after that, the phone went off and i couldn't turn it on.

I plugged it back on the wall and the charging battery icon appeared. It was showing an empty battery charging all over again. I tried to power it on. Google screen showed up, followed by the loading X from JB, then turned off.

I unplugged again and left my phone quiet for a while and then i tried to turn it on again. Turned it on all the way until the lock screen, but the battery icon was empty (with a "!") and then the phone went off again.

I've tried to follow some workarounds i've found on Google but none of them worked for me.

-Hard reset, trying to remove battery, sim card

-Cleaning the golden contacts on the battery compartment/battery/sim card with dry soft cloth.

-Trying to plug it on pc without the battery (couldn't recognize the phone - weird, because i've connected it many times and it was ok with it's drivers properly installed - no beep after 5 seconds)

-Power it on after plugging it on the wall

What i've just tried and seem to work (i hope so)

-I took the battery and sim card off the phone for a while. Put it all back after some minutes and turned it on. After the JB loading screen appeared, i waited a while and then plugged the cable on phone/wall.

Looks like the phone is working now, all my settings, pictures, data, music still there and the battery is charging all over again, from 5% (!?!?!?) but i'm not sure if it's really charging. I don't know if the phone will turn itself off again if i unplug from the charger.... Anyone has any ideas?

Could it be any software issue? (I've installed "Battery Widget? Reborn" from Play some days ago. It's a really beautiful widget for battery info but i don't think it's the problem because i've charged the phone a few times since then and it was all working good)

And i don't mess around too much with the phone. Just rooted to change from yakjuvs to yakju and update from ICS 4.0.2 to ICS 4.0.4 and then to takju/JB 4.1.1.

(My GSM Nexus is running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 - JRO03C, XXLF1, all stock and rooted. And yes, standard battery that comes with it)

Thanks!
