Hi all. I'm trying to root my sisters evo.

Bootloader says s-off, but when I try to flash a recovery it says something like remote not allowed.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
What's your Hboot and how did you try to flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datguy_n_Disguy:

Have you tried renaming the custom recovery PC36IMG and putting on root of SD?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datguy_n_Disguy:
It wasnt in a .zip, i downloaded it as a .img
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
You need Amon or clockworkmod recovery in the form of a PC36IMG.zip file that you can place on the SDcard and run through the bootloader. You will also need a superuser.zip file to flash from your recovery to gain root permissions. Both can probably be found with a google search.

Power button fell off - per Verizon - "Known issue" affecting ~ 1% of devices

Here's one sure to make everyone happy: per Verizon's technical support when I called in this morning to tell them my SGS3's power button had fallen off: (and I asked "is that common?") "Well, I'm not supposed to say, but it's a known issue. We'll overnight you a new one by 3PM tomorrow." For them to say it's a known issue, per my insider in Verizon Customer support, we're talking at least 1/2 of 1% of them - divvy that up amongst the 10 million+ built during the first 6 weeks while ramping up for delivery to all major North American cell-phone companies, that means they are EXPECTING to see 50,000+ of them back between all of the carriers! Can you say "crappy build quality"? I thought you could. We deserve better than this, and I baby my new toy like it's a piece of gold. It's never seen a floor, much less been dropped 6" on a table.

Give me a break! (no, not literally - sh!t, I was just kidding!) :confused:

Those of you with let's say "Otterbox" cases that have some type of captive device for the buttons are likely going to live through it, unless it becomes a real pain-in-the-a$$. However, those of us with the standard holsters should expect them to start falling off of about 1 in 100 units. That just sux! :mad: I'm told that they've already made an engineering change that makes the button less easy to dislodge, but - frankly mine just fell off in my hand - or rather popped off when I unlocked the screen this morning. :crying:

I happen to have an i535 (VerizonWireless) Blue with 32GB, but it's universal in the first production run, after talking to my insider source, who works in their Atlanta center technical support as a 2nd level manager. :( My system info says it's "Hardware version: I535.10" (last line at the very bottom under "about device".)

From what I can tell, other than using a captive button type case, you're just SOL. I dunno 'bout everybody else, but for me this is simply unbelievable - but I spent 6 hours today doing my homework before I posted. ;)

While I'm carping, I've already gotten my 2nd battery replacement from Verizon, also. They say there is a "big lot" of bad ones. I got to the point where I was discharging from 100% to less than 30% in under two hours (twice, now) - without me even unlocking the phone. Curiously enough, the batteries VerizonWireless is shipping as replacements do NOT have the "Samsung" official pink hologram label. Go figure?!? :eek: Maybe I'm just fighting a bad one, and the new unit will not exhibit this problem? I sure hope so!

OK, not much to see (I can't find it anymore, or I'd show a pix - other than the side of mine with a hole in it); move along...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
So....I think you are blowing this way out of proportion. I've seen far worse production issues from other cell phone companies.

Plus if you think 1% is bad, you shouldn't look at those kind of statistics from other mfg of other products.

Example? Harddrives. Platter hard drives have a fail rate between 21-25% depending on brand. 1% is nothing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arkard1:
And the first production of the xbox 360 had like a 33% fail rate that it would eventually overheat and get the Red Ring of Death.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
It had to be way more than 33%. Those things were dying left and right. Wasn't it at least 50%?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Agreed with the above two posters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
I'm not trying to sound an alarm, I'm just telling people to expect it, and that it's a known issue. I suppose I did overreact a bit, but then again, I treat my little baby like a golden egg, and if mine just hopped off the side, they aren't made worth a darn. The fix is almost insignificant, involves adding a 1/10th of a cent piece of pliable plastic and tabs on the button to grab hold of from inside the case. If it was your $650 piece of gold ruined by a less than 5 cent engineering problem that should have been caught before the first one shipped, you'd be upset, too - wouldn't you? You should be, and I can assure you that another couple hundred thousand other people are going to be as well. Being 'first' should not = being a beta tester. The darned things should work out of the box before they ship, it's a classic case of rushing them out the door without a sanity check.

I'll live with my paper clip until tomorrow afternoon, and then spend 6 or 8 hours reloading everything on my phone including hours wasting time reconfiguring every single application and password on the phone. It's just a case of greed vs. speed, it's easier to fix that 1% after they fail than it would have been to fix them all before they shipped and not have 1% (or more, I suspect) of people waking up to find their phone basically useless (how can I answer a call if I can't unlock the screen easily?) and they did absolutely nothing except standard daily operations? Sorry, I might be overreacting at first, but it's just a #FAIL that could have been easily avoided - in $650 million worth out of $65 billion dollars sales - give or take. Fortunately Verizon (I don't know about other carriers) is handling it with free overnight shipping, but the idea that I'm likely getting a refurbished phone instead of a new unit just doesn't sit well with me. Sure - it's just as possible at this point I'll get a new unit, but - they say it's a refurbished unit just in case they do ship you one, and no amount of *****ing gets you past the 14-day limit on guaranteed new units, which itself is absurd. YMMV, it always does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Forgetfull:
bummer :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaben2:
yeah I had it happen to me the first day I had mine. They sent me a replacement no questions asked. This was within the first couple of days preorders started shipping. It only took them 4 days to get me a replacement though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
Yet again. Using the Xbox as an example. How many red rings could have been avoided by a few dollars difference to make the Xbox more efficient.

Same thing applies to cars what have you.

1% is nothing compared to other manufacturers. Your just mad it happened to you and that you are in that "1%" and I understand that.

Even when it comes to drugs. A 1% "fail" rate isn't much for a test group.

If you had 500 dollars and I told you that investing in xyz company you had a 99% chance of doubling your money and 1% chance of loosing it all, you'll probably invest without much thought. If I told you the same company you would have a 25%+ chance of loosing all your money you are going to think twice.

1% is nothing...

Great! I can't imagine how much fun I'm going to have putting it into Odin download mode so I can unroot it and put it back to factory specs. Should be a challenge. I just went into options and set the "use home button as power" (or however it reads) for the day, expecting FedEx "any time now". At least it lets me easily unlock, since "never" for screen timeout isn't an option even if you're plugged in (charging). Fun, fun, fun! :cowboy:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rizz67:
I have an ATT version but I am having issues as well. My button has not fallen off, but i am having sporadic restarts. It seems if i feather my finger over the power button (not depressing it) it will turn on and off the screen. Even sometimes just around the button would do that. Randomly i get a shutdown menu that pops up on the screen. It is obvious that the power button is flawed in the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] charlieg90:
Same thing happened to me when i was out with my friends a few weeks back... And yeah, you're blowing this way out of proportion. It just popped back in, hasn't been an issue since.

Yeah 1% is really nothing, but it does suck when it is you. I do believe the power button to not feel as solid as the volume buttons. It just doesnt have that click like the volume rocker does, or it could just be me :p

Need a better keyboard!

I'm dismayed lack of a stock keyboard after the ICS update. TouchWiz is evil. I tried SwiftKey but found it lacking because as a touch typist, the keys are all in the wrong place. If they'd include a more standard layout it would be perfect, because the rest of the features are amazing.

So... I need to find some keyboard that is 1) laid out like a normal keyboard, and 2) fast and responsive. The stock Android keyboard would do if I could get a hold of it. Any suggestions?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
From what I can tell, its all snake oil and Pygmalion effect.

The chipset is the same. All that has changed is the number being reported to the UI.

If you fire up something like netperf I'll lay money that the throughput on the link is just about the same for any of the available ROMs.

The "signal strength" reported by the chipset is "RSSI" Received Signal Strength Indication -- it isn't calibrated in any way for consumer devices other than to make the UI look good. The link speed isn't a good indication of throughput either.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ctrlaltdeln:
I'm sure you are correct. But where I used to get 6 available AP's, I now only get 2 with much weaker signal. My 5 ghz guest network will not even show up at 15 ft from router. At 5 ft away (with no obstructions or interference) I get 25% signal. I'll test throughput, although throughput seems excellent near router. Almost seems as if Rx power is low. I lose AP's at half the normal distance. My gs2 picks up the same AP with 75% signal, from the same location.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
The signal definitely is weak for me despite what people say. My wifi disconnects in places where it used to work fine before (for example when on my bed with gingerbread I would be connected with 1 bar, but with ics its constantly disconnecting and reconnecting at 0 bars
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Did it show up under GB? I've never seen my high-band 802.11n at all, but I always assumed it was that that I was using the wide-band modulation. If it was showing up, are you using 20- or 40-MHz channels?

I'm definitely interested in finding out if we have lost functionality going to ICS.

This doesn't surprise me. Internally, in Java, the "bars" are set to be 4 between a reported RSSI of -55 and -100. Stations that are below the lower threshold aren't reported in the UI. It appears to me that ICS ROMs generally report a RSSI to the Java world that is ~10 units lower than GB ROMs do.

frameworks/base/java/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.java

You might want to try

# wpa_cli scan
# wpa_cli scan_result

to see what the driver is reporting.

I've been tempted to just add 10 in the framework and enjoy all the reports about how much better a ROM it is. ;)

I still need to get netperf onto a GB ROM and do a little more testing. I think the sad answer is that the RF design, in general, is not good on the SGS4G, resulting in both poor WiFi and GPS performance.

Testing with netperf shows that the stock GB rom displays about "one bar" more signal than ICS AOKP. In this brief test (five, 10-second runs for each AP) the throughput for a relatively weak AP is about 10% lower for ICS than GB. However, the throughput for a strong AP is about 10% higher for ICS.

Conclusion: WiFi measured performance is comparable between GB and ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ctrlaltdeln:
I take it back..... 5 ghz network missing issue was on my touchpad. I get mixed up sometimes.

wireless range is poor , but in my small house it works. even a weak signal on this rom seems as fast as good GB signal.

This rom is otherwise awesome!

Can't mount internal SD card after using app

So I'm probably doing something wrong, but here is what happened.

Starting from a rooted stock ROM, in MTP mode, I ran the app and turned it "on". The external SD card popped up with no problem.

I was able to load my music etc. and it worked great (thanks for that).

After I was finished I unmounted the SD card from my computer and turned the app "off". I disconnected the phone from the computer.

I reconnected the phone to the computer, selected PTP mode and my internal SD card showed up but only for a second. I could not access it. I switched to MTP mode and it didn't work (as expected since I am using Linux). I tried every combination of off/on, MTP, PTP I could think of and nothing would give me access to the internal SD card.

As a last resort I ran the MTP.sh script using gscript and everything went back to "normal". I could mount my internal SD card in PTP mode.

I manually ran the Mass Storage.sh script and the external SD card popped up. All good.

Did I screw up something in using the app in the first place?

Thanks for the great work. I just want to figure out if I should have done something differently. If you need additional info let me know and I'll send it your way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elfie:
I tried it on my machine (windows 7 64bit)

1. Connected phone in MTP mode

2 Launched App, and turned it on. SD card showed up.

3. Ejected the card. Got a notification on phone saying MTP needs to restart. Clicked OK. Phone showed up in MTP mode again.

4. Switched to PTP. Worked perfectly.

The only thing I see different is the MTP restart notification. Just wait for it before you disconnect.
