! UPDATE Nr. 1

- Screen capture of the version and build information added.

! UPDATE Nr 2

- Correction: The system version is 6.16.217 NOT 6.16.219. Issue was typo and confusion with the versions. :- (

=====================================================================================================

This ICS update (6.16.219.XT894.Verizon.en.US) was applied to a rooted version 6.13.219 of GB. The update is passive and will not affect the contacts, applications, or data on the phone.

The process was as follows:

1. To keep root, open Superuser and update the su binary

2. To keep root, install OTA RootKeeper, select "Protect root", then "Temp. un-root", then "Restore root"

3. Place the update files in the \cache directory:

a. Blur_Version.6.13.219.XT894.Verizon.en.US.zip

b. Blur_Version.6.13.219.XT894.Verizon.en.US.crc

c. downloadfile.apk

Note: the 'crc' file is most likely not required, but I included it just in case there was any checking done.

4. Open RootKeeper and select "Temp. un-root".

5. The 'downloadfile.apk' will execute and you will be notified that the downloaded files are recognized and given the option to 'Install Now' or 'Install Later'.

6. Select 'Install Now' to start the update. It will take approx 15 min.

7. When install is complete, (To keep root) Open OTA RootKeeper and select "Restore root"

8. You're done; enjoy!

If anyone is interested, I will post the files this evening (8/14/12).

Thanks for the correction; typo confusion with the versions. ;- (
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
It can be confusing. OTA updates are named for the system/OS you are updating FROM and then the number differences are really in the middle...

OS 6.13.219 to OS 6.16.217......can make it very easy to see a 6.13.219 file on your device and confuse it as greater than a 6.16.217 version....

Just have to keep in mind it will always be named what OS it is going to upgrade, not what OS it is going to be.

Download the files, unzip it so that you have the Blur_Version.6.13.219.XT894.Verizon.en.US.zip that is inside and put that file (Blur_Version.6.13.219.XT894.Verizon.en.US.zip) on your external sdcard.

Boot in to recovery (hold volume +, volume - and power) use volume - to highlight recovery, volume + to select it.....when Android triangle appears, press both Volume + and Volume -. Install .zip from sdcard, choose external sdcard, choose the zip you copied to your external sdcard and press power to select it.

Wait.....

Done.

Believe it or not...work. I do some IT consulting on the side and I needed something to allow me to work in an emergency but was small enough to carry with me anywhere and everywhere. I own a full license for Teamviewer which works well on Android. I also have email addresses at 4 client locations so this is my "central hub" for work and personal mail. I love that I can VPN into the sites, access file shares, remote into servers and workstations, etc. (Just made a hell of a lot more sense than an iPad) I also do my accounting on it and can print my invoices right on site as I have the printers setup with Google cloud print and with PrinterShare it's no problem to send my PDF invoices right to the printers.

Oh, and the other usual crap...Netflix, web browsing, and browsing several forums with Tapatalk. Before I forget, I also manage my stocks with Ameritrade.

Just wondering if anyone else has installed the Casemate Screen protector for the i747 S3? I've been having trouble with first one I installed -- the edges of the screen protector don't seem to want to stick down, so around the entire edge of the screen the protector isn't sealed. I have a feeling dust will slowly creep in and eventually peel off the screen protector. Is this just me or as anyone else had this problem?

Anyone got any recommendations for a better screen protector?

Hello android world... Brand new root and flasher here. I flashed ic evolution v2.2 to standard HTC sensation. Everything running great except a little battery drain this first couple days. But my question is.... I'm I only 3g speeds with a 4g phone?? Seems a little bit slower or am I being fooled by the 3g icon. Im T-Mobile and believe I pay a little extra for 4g. Anything helps. Much obliged.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QUIRKnIT:
Late last night, as I was going to bed, my phone was throwing the "charge me" sound and notification flash, it was sitting at 14% charge. So I decided to plug it in, as any normal person would do.

When I woke up this morning I found the LED flashing red/green and the phone was so hot to the touch I had to put it down. Which is saying A LOT because 1) my hands are fairly numb to anything short of burning my skin off and 2) that was through my case, which is a Body Glove Kickback case.

Now, I immediately unplugged as I knew what the flashing lights mean, but here's the kicker -- once it was unplugged it only had 32% charge, I had been asleep for 7 hours, clearly enough time to charge a phone.

Once I realized this, I started messing around with phone (after I could hold the damn thing again) and found that I had a case of image persistence, which was caused by my phone being set to leave the screen while connected to the charger. I've changed that. I'm hoping that I can at least fix this today and figure out what caused my phone to act like this last night.

Nothing was different than any other night. I used the same charger in the same outlet, with my phone in the same spot, as I have since I purchased the phone.

Any help is greatly appreciated! As my GoogleFU has only led my to the screen burn thread and useless threads upon threads of people saying what apps they were using when their phone got hot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
Ive never had a phone get so hot that though a case i cant hold it.

did you set that automatically? or was it random?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QUIRKnIT:
I haven't either. I've had phones get really, really warm -- but this thing was so hot that when I grabbed it in my somewhat awake state, I woke straight up and immediately dropped it on my bed. I'm not one to exaggerate, it was insane how hot it got.

And I'm assuming you're talking about screen on when charging? Yes, I set that. A while back when I needed my screen to constantly remain on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
That's pretty crazy. If you have insurance, I would try get it replaced. It obviously shouldn't be getting that hot, and the last thing you need to be worrying about is weather tonights the night your battery will explode. I'd be afraid to keep it on a charger at this point - even with the screen off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] QUIRKnIT:
I was considering taking it to the store, I'll see how the rest of the day plays out. I left it on the charger to full charge and it didn't even get close to as hot as it was this morning, so that's why I feel like waiting it out. I'm going to leave it on the charger for a few more hours and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JrixZero:
Hello Forum,

I have downloaded ODIN for flashing and recovery, and as of the moment I have the Samsung Galaxy 5 (USA) Model. Now, I have previously flashed and recovered stock with it but I don't know which files do what.

I have a PIT file, a BOOTLOADER, and a PDA file. Could someone give me a depth description of what each one does? I doubt I'm suppose to use all three all the time in case I've bricked my device or flashing.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dstarfire:
PIT stands for Partition Information Table. It basically tells odin how big each partition is, how their arranged, etc. It doesn't contain the actual contents of those partitions, just how they're laid out on the drive.

The PDA file is your actual system image, and is usually compressed as a .tar (or tar.md5) file. It will contain a kernel and one or more partition images which contain the actual contents of the partitions that're described in the .PIT file.

To flash with Odin (or Heimdall, for that matter) you need a .pit and one or more partition images. I'm not too sure how you'd use the separate bootloader file in Odin. I'm still something of a n00b at this.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
You actually don't need a .pit file to flash with odin. All you need is the .PDA file. I believe the .pit file is only for if you want to re-partition the drive as well. Forgot to mention make sure only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked when flashing in odin with a .pda file or you will brick your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JrixZero:
Thank you guys for that, I figured more or less what you are saying. I just needed confirmation! :good:

Using Odin to flash the TerraSilent Kernel

I would like to flash TerraSilent Kernel 1.3.5 for Galaxy 4.0 (YP-G1) USA. I have downloaded Odin3 v1.7, and would just like to confirm the steps, as this is the first and only Android device I have and wouldn't like to brick it. (This is the also my initial step to flashing the EtherealRom V2.4 ROM.)

I have the Samsung Drivers installed. That is all I need to use Odin right?

Steps:

Download the TerraSilent_usa-1.3.5.tar file

Put Galaxy Player in download mode (Power Button + down)

Connect the Galaxy Player to the computer

Start Odin

Ensure only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked.

Select PDA and choose the "TerraSilent_usa-1.3.5.tar" file that I previously downloaded

Then click start.

I have some other questions, I have been reading up the forums and would like to clarify something with the .pit file. Is it only required when you would need to to re-partition the drive? and therefore installing a kernel does NOT require a re-partition of the drive, am I correct?

Which of the following scenarios would REQUIRE a re-partition of the drive (and thus a .pit file when using Odin)?

- Flashing a Full STOCK ROM (with Recovery) for e.g here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531850

- Flashing a Stock-based ROM such as EtherealRom V2.4 ROM

- Flashing a Recover such as CWM

I'm new to this Android ROM scene so I just trying to get a better understanding of this all.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
True all you need is the .tar file to flash. The pit file is usually unneeded when flashing a custom rom. However, make sure you turn on USB debugging first (Settings->Applications->Development-> Check USB debugging) before flashing anything. Sometimes just not having that checked gets you into bootloops and cause problems.

PIT files are used when you get your partition tables messed up. I believe this means you're not able to boot into the device or access download mode anymore (basically for Bricked devices). So you 90% (made up statistic =P but you get the point) of the time when you are flashing back to stock, you just need again the .tar file (unless as I said previous your device is bricked). You almost never need a PIT file to flash a custom rom from stock, and Flashing from CWM only requize a .zip file that's still in the zip form (meaning don't unzip it with winRAR, 7zip, and similiar programs

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DirtyDroidX:
OK after doing some research and testing on over 10 devices I have came up with this MOD , that has been working for me for 2 days now. This should work on most devices. We all no Samsungs GPS hardware is not the greatest. Some with the S3 have no issues some where in the same boat as me. For myself I could never get a lock in navigation, if I could it would take 10 min up to 30 . If I ever got a lock ,it dropped signal frequently or was inaccurate, so much that it was no of use. Now on maps it would eventually show my position but it would be off , for example, show me on the next street or on the other side of the highway. So If you find yourself in this situation feel free to give it a try.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

You need to be rooted to be able to grant R/W capabilities. To be safe , always make a nandroid backup and back up the original file you are replacing. My self or XDA are not responsible for any malfunction to your device or anything else that may occur, while hacking your phone.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

1) Download new gps.conf file>>>

http://db.tt/5xvFneRt

2) Replace it in /ect . Rename the original one from .conf to .bak. using a file explorer with R/W enabled , so yes you have to be rooted!

3) Download GPS toolbox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

4) Reboot.

5) Enable standalone GPS and Google services NOT Verizon services.

6) Open GPS status select options/tools/reset . Then options/ tools/download

7) Reboot

8) Open GPS status and wait for lock . Mine took 5 min a friends took 3. Then open up navigation .

9) Profit

★★NOTES★★

Always enable standalone GPS and Google location services ,FIRST! Then open up GPS toolbox to get a lock. The first time you do this it might take up to 10 to 15 min based on your location. After getting a lock threw the app, then open up navigation and you should be good to go. After using this yesterday I'm locking on in under 5 sec with 9-15 sat locked on. If you have bit used your GPS in a while, open app and reset and download again , then reboot. Then wait for lock threw app and your back on track.

Hope this helps a few and I will be updating this when I finish implementing other things.

If this helped you hit the thanks button :)

just saying, but shouldn't you go get your phone replaced, have verizon check it, if you have gps issues? many GS3 owners including me have zero issues with GPS. I did have GPS issues with 3rd party roms, synergy and clean both. once back to stock rooted, no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
The gps on the S3 is the quickest and most reliable i've had the pleasure of using, out of the box. I can't express enough how impressed I was by this, because i've become accustomed to having to fix it to make it work properly, and have done so for a variety of androids for my random co-workers I meet on the road.

That said, if people are having issues - and lets be real here, once you start flashing stuff anything can happen - it's good to see people diving in to work on the problems.

To that end, OP (or anyone else interested), here is a thread with a very detailed explanation of what I did to fix gps for another device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16822068

...which may be of some value to read through in your research for this issue.

Please forgive the dead links, I was away from dev for a while and didn't realize goo went down and lost what I had there. I am working with another forum member to get my works hosted again.

Meantime, the text of the gps.conf file is in code blocks in the op of the thread I linked, so in this particular case the dead links shouldn't be a problem.

Hope this helps a bit.

After executing fastboot oem lock, my phone won't boot past the Hboot screen.

When I installed Conrom I temp flashed amon ra. After that my hboot said Tampered but everything worked great.

Now it says Tampered, Relocked, Security Warning.

How do I get back to the .12 OTA or Conrom for that matter?
