Loving every minute of it. its just in a class of its own compaired to my old phone.

-------------------

Right i have a few questions guys.

what is the best root method so that when the time comes i will be able to return if back to stock completely if i need it for warranty purposes ?

How would i go about backing up its kernel/bootloader/radio/system/rom basicly everything thats on it stock now incase i want to flash it all back to stock before i root...

not sure its possible but i have heard that these phones come with a unlocked bootloader ?

and is there anything i need to know like what the best recovery is

i loved the tabbed recovery EX4 recovery touch that i used on my htc desire hd ? do we get something like that ?

anything else i need to know phone i have is the UK SG3 with Tmobile contract checked out the phone and its not simlocked at all on anything.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
here you go for root and cwm, so....root and do a nandroid in recovery, there you have your stock backup, you can reset your flash counter with the app triangle away, as Samsung introduced this crap on the s2. It's pretty can easy to flash this baby and seems to have the virtual unbrickable merits of the s1.

T&C......do your reading, understand what you are doing, sleep on it, then reread and flash when ready....same old same old! :D

Hi,

In gsmarena it's written that it does support 3G 850MHz, but in a few stores (clove, handtec) its written that it doesn't support.

Is it have several variants or the information on the stores is wrong?

Thank you
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
On LG's product site for the phone (LG DE):

Quadband (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) + UMTS (850/900/1900/2100 MHz) + HSPA+ 21Mbit/s
[LG Optimus 4X HD] lm007:
In LG UK it has HSPA+ 21 900/1900/2100

So maybe there are two variants.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
Strange.

The hardware must be the same, I'm in the UK but bought mine in from Germany as it hasn't been available.

Works out cheaper anyway.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mabz2k:
I'm not sure but i don't think 850 MHz is used in the UK or Europe, it might be a US frequency. On the UK LG website it says it's got 850 and 900 so it should work in the US and Europe. Unless there's 2 different versions of the phone it should be fine, obviously have the correct Sim card for the country your in otherwise you could get some hefty charges.

Last Part (Fastboot) of the Tutorial.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] derf1996:
The tutorial is too advanced for me xD. I had an idea, can I add the GB webtop file to the ICS rom and add the webtop line in the xml file?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Yes, that should work, too.

But why is it advanced?

Fastboot for the webtop_signed

DOWNLOAD

PART1 + PART2

This is the Webtop_signed of the 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU that was used to get on the 672.180.33.XT910.Retail.en.EU some times ago.

If you have an GB 2.3.6 Fastboot File of your Region and wanna use this webtop_signed, you can only download the FlashME.bat and add your File into the Folder!

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qibcf1inyb7ao8y

INSTALLATION

After you downloaded an extracted the 2 Parts you'll get an Folder called Webtop 2.3.6.en.EU.

In this you'll find the FlashMe.bat and the Webtop_signed.

Connect your RazR in AP Fastboot Modus with your PC and doubleclick the FlashMe.bat.

Your RazR will reboot after the flash was sucessfull

Now you can follow the steps to get your second system on your preinstalled ICS.

This is all you need. Download, unpack, connect in AP and click the FlashME.

Almost the same like RSD.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] derf1996:
Yes, you're right, but it scared me, I used to have a Samung Galaxy Ace and everything was much easier. I followed the tutorial and it booted correctly. Thanks a lot, I'm really grateful to you. Sorry if my english was bad at some ponit, I'm Spanish :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
No problem, my english is also not the best. But we try it ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MisterBigs:
My first post!!!

Anyway, I wanted to know if the GS3DebugFSRoot rooting method removes all the bloat on the phone? Should I just go with this method or should I go the Odin method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
First, Welcome to XDA!

Back to your question, I am pretty sure that the GS3DebugFSRoot rooting method does not remove all the bloat from the phone. I personally think that the rooting method is better than the odin method, because it is faster and is a smaller download (waaaay smaller). However, the root you get from GS3DebugFSRoot is as good as any other root (because of the way root works). You can use that root access to remove the bloat you do not want.

In addition, after using Noxious Ninja's root method, you can use the root you get to flash a recovery to your phone, which you can use from there to flash many roms/mods/hacks/themes/etc such as CyanogenMod
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
It doesn't remove anything, just adds root/SU.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MisterBigs:
Thanks mustbepbs and yosterwp.

yosterwp, you lost me there. Isn't here a major thread of bricking or some other damage to the phone if I start removing some of the bloat myself? If I root the phone how would I know what can be safely removed?

Here is a list of what I'm looking for:

I want to be able to install APKs

I don't want any of the bloat from Verizon or Samsung

I would like to us HotSpot tethering

I don't think I need any custom mods

I do would like the ability to set it back to stock (with no trace of it having been rooted if possible)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
Whoops! I guess a went a bit ahead of myself in that post. I'll look into your list in the order the criteria is put.

1. Umm, I believe you can install any apk you want even without root access (Go to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources and check the box). Now if the application requires SU, that's a different story and need SU access.

2. [This answers one of your main concerns too] I forgot where I found this thread, but I bookmarked this spreadsheet on Google Docs. It is a table showing what is safe to remove, what's risky to remove, and what you should not remove. However, if you are rooting for the sake of flashing a custom ROM, then you should forget removing the bloat, as the custom rom should be devoid of bloat to start.

3. HotSpot Tethering should already be on your phone without root or anything... Go to Settings > Mobile Hotspot.

3.5. If you are talking about not using that (because your plan prohibits it) --I'd rather not be the one who encourages violating contracts...

4. If you want to return to stock without a trace of being rooted, get ready for a HUGE download. Go to this thread and use your preferred downloading method. And remember to grab Odin from the link on the page. Thank the OP if you can. Then boot your phone into download mode. [(in computer with phone plugged in) adb reboot download] and then fire up Odin. In odin, hit PDA and then navigate to the large download. Finally just to make sure the flash counter appears to have not changed, go to this thread.

You should be good to go from there. I make no guarantee that my instructions will work for you, but it should point you in the right direction. And if you have any questions, let the forum know!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MisterBigs:
Wow! thanks for all the info.

One more question. What's your take on whether I need a Recovery tool?

I'm a software developer (web and Windows) and am planning on getting into coding on Android so I'm also looking for a crash course for that too. If you have a link for that I would greatly appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Just have Odin installed and on hand. While the easy root solution is nice, it's still a good idea to be familiar with Odin as you're going to NEED it if you get yourself in a pickle or want to go back to fully stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
If by recovery tool, you mean Odin, then i definitely would suggest getting Odin and the stock images for your phone. Hopefully you will never need it, but it is always good to have on hand. Familiarize yourself with it, especially if you are rooted.

If you are talking about a recovery partition, that is a definite must have when rooted! You can make complete backups of your phone in case something goes wrong as well. And it can do much more.

Now for the android crash course

If you are talking about developing apps, there is a user on YouTube, mybringback, who does excellent videos on developing apps on android for absolute beginners like me. I am not the greatest Dev (in C++ and Java), but his videos gave me a good foot into Java.

If you are talking about developing for the actual android system, then honestly, I have no clue. Many places will tell you how to download and build the source, but not much else... I am still trying to find a site that explains the source...

Hope that helps :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MisterBigs:
Cool. Thanks guys.

I'll be watching some videos now :)

If the cycle is anything similar to the 2.3.6 update, then phones selected for the soak should receive the update around this Saturday. The soak period is very short, about 2 days, and barring any showstopper bugs it should be released to the general public in about one to two weeks after that.

For those not invited to the soak I would highly recommend some patience.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lee1138:
I am a new owner of a Sprint Galaxy S3. For the first few days, it worked perfectly. But now, for the last week, call quality has been crap. I found that this issue is mostly when the mobile network selection is set to LTE/CDMA/EVDO. When set to CDMA only it's at least understandable. I rooted it so I can try to upgrade the radio. I installed the lg8 update, but that has not helped at all. Any suggestions? Has my phone developed a hardware failure?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beejmeister:
Good to hear it is not only me... and it may very well be related to the LTE/CDMA switch! I only just switched that on on Friday I believe and over the weekend all I had was folks telling me they couldn't understand me! I'll switch back and see what happens.

I'm in ATLANTA so was hoping to snag some LTE goodness but haven't yet run across any so I guess I won't miss LTE if I switch it off!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lee1138:
I think I just figured it out! I installed a CPU settings app and found that the cpu was running at about 2/3rd it's full speed. As soon as I cranked the min speed all the way up, my call quality improved dramatically.. I wish I knew how this suddenly became a problem, unless I'm just didn't notice the exact time of the call quality problem..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lee1138:
As I fiddle with it more, It looks like these cpu control programs are not working quite right and possibly setting the cpu speed to much lower than the menu says it is. I'm not sure how to get around this.

Anyone know what file I need to edit to set the defaults back?.. or a good free cpu control app that works properly on this device? SetCPU doesn't seem to have a free or demo version anymore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Felnarion:
Has anyone else install Freeza's boot animation CPU speed fix? Now that I'm thinking about it, this problem actually started after I installed that.

Basically, it manifested itself as, after coming back from sleep, calls would be "droppy" kind of like how they are with a really bad signal. Both sides were impossible to hear, but it would never actually drop (nevermind, absolutely full signal). But a reboot would help it until a little while later when I had to reboot.

This was on Blazer 1.7 with Freeza's fix installed. Does anyone else's situation match that? Also, does it go away permanently if the governor is set to performance?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cooljb:
I was having the same problem and after a little digging around in the menus I found under Phone dialer/call settings/Additional Settings is "Noise Reduction". It was on by default. I turned it off and call quality is much better. I was getting choppy audio on both ends of the conversation - very similar to my experience with a fancy Motorola bluetooth headset. It was cutting out more than just noise. Don't know if this is the same problem you are having but it's worth a try. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lee1138:
Ok, all of my working with it seems to be in vain. It isn't the cpu, it isn't signal, I think it's just a defective radio. Just need to have it checked out at Sprint and likely replaced. Can't have a phone that no one can understand me when they call.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lee1138:
Had my wife take my phone to the Sprint store for them to check it. Switching phones did not fix the problem. They say it's some kind of network problem. Their advise is to make sure the mobile network setting is set to CDMA and not use the LTE network.

I'm thinking of asking for a refund of the $10 a month they charge for 4g because if I try to use it, the phone is useless.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshh465:
Hey Guys,

I'm in need of some really n00b friendly advice.

When you flash a new ROM (i.e. CM9) in CWM the tutorials tell you to flash the file named Update.zip. My problem is that I can't seem to find one in the zip file I downloaded for my xperia mini.

I downloaded FXP131, and found the zip file to contain a boot.img, which will be the kernel. And 2 other folders named META-INF and System.

I know how to flash the kernel and expect it was just left in there for easy transportation.

But where in the world is 'update.zip'?

Am I meant to unpackage the kernel then re-zip the META-INF and System folder and then call that 'Update.zip'?

I've flashed roms for some of my other devices before, but they've always used flashtool or samsungs flashtool.

Please help me guys, I don't like sounding this inexperienced :(

update.zip

I'm wondering if the ROM I am trying to flash needs to be renamed as update.zip in order to work. It is krook's v.6 of JB for the Lenovo K1 tablet. Since the download site has to distinguish between wifi and 3G versions, as well as nvflash versions there are a number of different filenames, however does it need to be renamed after putting it on my SD card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3rdstring:
Generally speaking "update.zip" is used as a generic name. For example the update.zip I just flashed is actually named "rascarlo_maguro_ota_2012-11-01.zip". When you flash a custom ROM in a custom recovery you should be able to browse & flash whichever file you need.

The FXP131.zip file that contains the boot.img and 2 other folders named META-INF and System is the "update.zip"

Mayby not the best solution but dude... WMA ? why WMA ? WINDOWS MEDIA AUDIO... WINDOWS... dude.. It's like making FLAC file from MP3, you CAN do it but WHY?!

I would go for MP3 using VBR which give you good quality and lower file size or lower the bitrate there is less problem with MP3 than with WMA. But it's your way to store music. And if you happy with that - thats great.

Did you try .. winamp for android ? --- oh, you didnt want 3rd party app...

Like I said, WMA was made by Microsoft which is close for community. So I doube there is a easy/clean way to play those files without 3rd party apps.

As mentioned, my choosing WMA files is purely practical asI can store 4 times as many MP3's on my phone.

I had to settle for PowerAmp which not only supports WMA files but also seems to read all ID3 tags perfectly (on MIUI GB I had to download ID3Fixer to read artist tag).
