[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ronnyckb:
Hello everyone at XDA.

Recently I bought a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 T-999 (Base Model T999UVALEM ). Howerver I am curious if this phone can be patch with Mobilicity "Canada Carrier" Stock Rom (T999VVLALE6 )?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lordazoroth:
I wouldn't, I've heard mixing the Canadian and T-mobile ROMs is a one-way ticket to brick. Stick to ROMs designed specifically for the SGH-T999 (T-Mobile version).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] option94:
We could port it. Why do you want that rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ronnyckb:
Don't mention it. I was so stupid and didn't look around before purchasing this phone.

I am a Canadian Mobilicity user, I usually buy T-Mobile phone, but this time i didn't realize Mobilicity carry GS3. With T-Mobile custom Rom there alot of junk apps. Such as T-Mobile Hot-Spot, Access T-Mobile else. Since I saw SGH-T999 and SGH-T999v are the same spec just wonder if I can load Mobilicity Rom to my T-Mobile GS3 phone. So that i can use their custom apps
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] option94:
You can jut copy their apps to /system/app/ and they should work.

I know im a noob, but why can't i post on sgs3 verizon synergy rom thread?
[General Questions and Answers] phishphinger:
Because it is a development thread.
[General Questions and Answers] codyvance:
So do i have to get permission or something?
[General Questions and Answers] phishphinger:
You need to post some more before you are allowed to post in development forums.

In the meantime,if you have a question about a ROM or other development issue, then post your question in the Q&A forum of your device.

Gotcha thanks

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jkim5708:
Is it possible . I would like to use My blackberry as bt modem . Any software out there that can make this possible

Tia
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
no software required.first pair with your bb device and then go to bluetooth menu where it shows paired device.now beside your device name you will see settings icon in a box.click it.there you will find connect to internet option...

ENJOY...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] lg777:
I tried that but only option as input device.

I can create a wifi hotspot on the 9900 though. You need to upgrade to a newer 7.1 OS version.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jkim5708:
My att 9900 says software is up to date Vera 7.0....how do I get 7.1?.. Also bt not Working for me either. I can pair the two but can't connect
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Droidlover123:
try this:

1.unpair your device first

2.install bluetooth ftp(medeivel) on your bb phone

3.then follow above process...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jkim5708:
Install bt ftp (medeivel) on bb phone. Not sure what you mean.

Im still stuck with being able to pair. But when i click on the settings box on the device (bb 9900) only option is unpair and rename device.

I would really like to get this working...thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] scottx .:
Can you not make the BB a wifi hotspot? I do the tether a lot but not with a blackberry and not with bt.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jkim5708:
Nope...seems as if my enterprise BB has been dummy downed. Will not allow me to update os to latest 7.1, which has Wifi Hotspot option. I had been able to bt tether all my other "toys" but for some reason trying to get it to work with my tab 2 has been difficult

I used rom toolbox to change some status bar icons on my rezound.

Before I try on my S3 I wanted to see if anyone knew whether or not it'd also work with our phones.

Thanks in advance!!

I can say this, I had installed the recovery needed to flash imo's kernel then decided I wanted to check Rom manager out, which I had to flash the recovery that Rom manager flashes which junked out something.. phone just kept booting into recovery, flashed my backup and all was good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 95talondsm:
I used Rom manager to flash synergy 1.1, 1.2. Wellnj flashed CWM 5.8 or w.e...non touch CWM and had no issues. The easiest way now is EZ recovery.. you can download it from the market..it really is simple..if you need help I can help you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afmracer6:
+1 EZ recovery is the recommended way to flash recoveries on the GS3. its super easy and free in the play store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Thanks for the replies. I'm good flashing roms. I was looking to change the status bar icons. I actually meant rom toolbox not rom manager. Sorry

Does anyone know if that works??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
ROM Toolbox changed my battery icon with no problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
I keep ROM Toolbox around for some of the root utilities. I haven't used any of the theming functionality. I have seen a few threads where people have mentioned that the boot animations do not work. I can confirm that the CPU settings seem to stick. I haven't set them to apply at boot but I have had the phone OC'd to 1.7 for a day.

I'm thinking that since the toolbox came out of the DX days some of the functionality won't directly port over. YMMV. Just keep a nandroid around in case of issues!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] C0ntr0lfr33k:
I've used ROM Toolbox for managing my backups with no issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I used rom toolbox to update my fonts. Worked awesome.

Tried to change some icons, not so much!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
That's true, they don't.

What's funny is, I hated the stock VZ boot animation/sound so much I wanted to smash the phone every time it booted. I tried using ROM toolbox to change it, & while the new animation didn't work it got rid of the VZ crap & changed it to the generic Samsung boot image (a blue swirly thing) with no sound which is all I really wanted anyway........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
I ended up flashing a zip invisiblec posted to get that boot animation. Samsung uses a weird pair of files for their boot animation. I haven't looked into them much because of their odd extension.
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
So I'm trying to send my rezound in for warranty, going through s-off procedure.

Get to wire trick prompt touch the contacts, and nothing, it's unresponsive apparently. This was using cat-5 too boot.

Anyone come across this before?
[HTC Rezound] Dalamar1320:
The timing is critical, and some find it very difficult to get it just right.

If counting out loud, 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi, etc. It would be almost like tap the contact count 1 missi tap again.

I used cat 5 cable and it took me about 5 attempts before I got it just right.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I just tapped repeatedly until the prompt on the screen changed (pc screen) and went to the next step verifying if it worked.

I've s-offed 2 phones and both got it on the second try this way.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
You'll notice that the message "do wire trick now" or whatever it says, happens at the correct delay. If you time your wire touches to match the appearance of the message, you'll get s-off right away.
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
Last time even touching them at the wrong time would at least reset the phone, now nothing happens at all, and I have been jamming it in there to make sure I made contact
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Lok inside the small hole you will see the tiny metal contact you need to have the wire touching, make sure the cat5 is right on it firmly but don't be too rough and also most people lose contact with that spot as they turn focus to the ground point over the sd card. All I'm saying is visually inspect that the wire is touching that point

Someone that works in a metal shop should really make a jig for this and sell it in the accessories forum... Hint hint :P
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I couldn't get it to work with cat5 because I couldn't get it to make reliable contact in the hole. I tried several times over the course of two days. Then I tried a piece of coax stripped to the core wire on each end and got it on the first try.
[HTC Rezound] Jonger1150:
Can S-off procedure be performed on ICS firmware?

Also, does it wipe the phone?
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
sd card corrupted, ready to just say screw it, take my chances, and ship it back with a relocked bootloader
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Did you try using a metronome for 1.75 second intervals? Also you were supposed to use a spare sd card just get a cheap $5 2gb one om pretty sure you can just format the corrupted sd card when your done.
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
I am using a spare, but control bear still wouldn't go forward when I swapped cards
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
yep going back with a relocked bootloader f*ck this ****

second try, and for the second time this morning I've gotten critical failure cannot find a seat
[HTC Rezound] Freedom First:
Just a tip that might help: Use a paperclip, but take a file to the ends to square them up (make them flat). You have a much better chance of making contact that way, and less chance of chewing the PC board all to shreds with the jagged ends of the paperclip. Bend the clip to reach both pads, and trim the legs to the same length (so it could touch both pads without having to bend or force it). Have one end already touching a pad before starting S-off script.

I'm a n00b, and doing this I got S-off on the second try.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
It would be wise to wrap the paper clip with electrical tape because your fingers could discharge and fry your board
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:
ruu'd back to stock, then unlocked rooted for the third time this morning

control bear still refuses to even start with the same critical error

at this point I'm just going to get the ota RUU, flash that, and send it in

if they pop me they pop me, but I can't s-off at this point
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
My vote is they won't even check it or care
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinicius.carvalho:
Hi There!

A few months ago I've installed clockworkmod 3.2.0.0, in a failed attempt to upgrade my MZ604 UK Xoom to ICS from 3.2.

I forgot about this device for a while. Today I received the OTA update for ICS. But after downloading, and when it rebooted, it entered into the recovery of clockworkmod.

I really don't know what to do. I tried to just reboot and think that it would bypass, but after starting it shuts down into recovery. Tried to shutdown, same problem :(

I now have a device that only reboots :(

Could someone help me how to apply the google official update?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
I have synergy 1.3 right now on my phone. Have rooted and flashed this rom with no problems so far by following what I have read on this wonderful site. I would like to try and flash Imoseyon's leankernal. I have read that this works extremely well with synergy's 1.3. I have been following the steps from this guide > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 and I have installed ez recovery. So couple questions.

1. I change the recovery to CWM 6.0.1, then hit the flash button and then the reboot recovery button?

2. will flashing a kernel change any settings on my phone for instance I am running apex launcher pro have everything set up the way I like it will all be the same after reboot?

3. is wiping cache/dalvik necessary? I have read elsewhere that when flashing kernels it is not necessary at all?

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
1. Yes. I selected the 6.0.1 from the dropdown and then flashed it. I then made a nandroid and tested restore. I came from twrp 2.2 and wanted to make sure it restored fine.

2. Flashing the kernel will not effect your apps.

3. I didn't but it won't hurt clearing caches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
Thanks for the fast reply exactly what I was looking for now I can go ahead and try this tonight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
:) Have fun! I flashed this morning and have been enjoying it all day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
I finished it up. I had to go back and reflash with 12-2 because the blue led wouldn't go away. Luckily I found that by reading farther through the thread. seems to be working great..thanks for your help again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Oops. Should have mentioned that. I found out that if you get the kernel from his "latest" link it is the 12 version and not 12-2. I posted in the rootz thread about that but it likely got buried with the problems peppe are reporting about using the kernel with 1.4.

Good to hear that you got 2 (?) flashes with no problems. How's it working on your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] killerT721:
Im also on synergy 1.3 and was wondering how much better does this kernel provide in battery life? Do we need to underclock to get bettter battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
Yeah they need to update that link I had actually read about it earlier when reading through the posts but forgot about it last night when downloading the initial link. So far so good. Very smooth haven't had a chance to test batter life will do that at work today giving it a full charge this morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 95talondsm:
Here you go. This is my battery life on 1.3 with the lean kernel and the app CPU sleeper. When I go to sleep I under clocked it at 384 ghz or something like that..then over clocked at 1.7 with the on demand govener and the I/O set to so..this is by far the best battery life I've gotten.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
That's pretty good battery life there! What are you underclocking? Min and max or just the min? What are you using to set your CPU clocks? I've been using RomToolbox. I have thinking about dropping the coin on SetCPU, but want to make sure it's what everyone is using to get this great of battery life. Sorry to thread hijack. I've come from a DX and didn't mess with these settings that much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
I have systemtuner but don't really know much about overclocking/underclocking at the moment. Not really sure what I should be touching. That is damn good battery life though.

Anyone think there a relative decision to release the galaxy s3 line of phones in red, white, and blue? Seeing how they were all in the Olympic mix

Sent front my SGS3 Epic 4GLTE Touch
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
I like the change. Blue is beautiful and black is too common. Metallic Grey would've been good, too. But nothing beats pebble blue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
I think it was a complete coincidence. I think the white and blue colors are much more aesthetically pleasing than black. They're calming colors. Black is just kind of the neutral default. As for the red one, I'd bet that was 100% AT&T's idea. It doesn't fit the calming nature of the pebble blue and marble white or the nature ideas of TouchWiz. It's kind of tacky, imo.

Also, if you're implying that those colors were chosen to represent the US or something, I'd say you're almost certainly mistaken. First, red, white, and blue are all very common flag colors. Who's to say which country they chose the colors to represent? Second, the phones are being released around the world in the same two colors, including to countries with no white or blue in their flags. Third, assuming, then, that they were chosen to represent the Olympic colors rather than a country, what about the yellow, green, and black versions they would have to release? Fourth, if they were to release phones in special colors for any country, it would have to be their home country of South Korea, which actually has the colors white, blue, and red on their flag but is not getting the red phone.

Really, I think it just came down to the most aesthetically pleasing colors: white and blue (at least the particular shade of blue they used). Almost any other color would have either destroyed the whole design language or just looked really ugly. I don't think a pebble green (or moss green or leaf green or whatever) would have gone over quite as well. Same with yellow, pink, violet, brown... I mean, if the phone isn't black, what other colors could you use that wouldn't be ugly to a large portion of the population? White and light blue, exactly what Samsung chose (Nope. Still not counting red. I think AT&T really ****ed that up).
