Merry Christmas Everyone!

I feel a bit embarrassed. I've flashed my share of ROMS, but I have ran into a bit of snag upgrading to the latest Cleanrom 5.5.1

I'm currently on Cleanrom 3.x

I downloaded the vzw s3 ez-unlocker and made sure to click "unlcok" to unlock my bootloader (even though the status says "unknown")

I am using ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.1.2

I have verified that i have the correct MD5 checksum for cleanrom 5.5.1

I did the format/wipe cache/wipe davlik cache, then installed cleanrom 5.5.1

Install goes fine, but I get suck on the first screen (white Samsung GALAXY SIII with black background). It would sit there for 15min. or so, before I pull the batt.

after a few battery pulls, I restored to previous backup, and phone boots up fine.

So I did another flash, this time, in addition to all the steps above, I re-wiped the 2 cache partitions. Now the phone boots straight into recovery mode...

has anyone experienced this? Any insight on my situations? Thank you all!

Bad download maybe I would start with that...Merry Christmas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lohp75:
You need ez-unlock v.1.2 at the highest. If u get the latest one it has issues gallor. Merry Christmas!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oilfighter:
MD5 checks out though... and I've downloaded twice already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
What version of ez unlock? You need to go to rootzwiki and download version 1.2. (There is a link under description in the app store.)

It will hold the unlock... Other versions the unlock does not stick.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:
not that it is causing your problem, but use twrp for the recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anthony92170:
stay with what you got twrp can and has caused issues. flash modem rpm and then rom and see how it goes. If not try unlocking all over and reroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:
only issue it caused was when on a wrong version, besides THE DEV recommends twrp........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wisiwyg:
^ This... and, after you install v1.2, make sure you uncheck auto upgrade/update for EZ Unlock in your PlayStore settings or it will automatically upgrade to the less-than-desirable v1.4. I actually wish the dev would remove v1.4 and put v1.2 back up. It is an absolutely fabulous tool that isn't represented well by the v1.4 update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oilfighter:
Thank you all for the replies. I followed the suggestion and downloaded ez-unlocker 1.2, verified that I have the state "Unlocked", and reflashed. Same result.

So I ended up re-download the ROM, uploaded straight into the phone over AirDroid (previously, I copied to SD Card, then moved to the phone's internal memory using ES Explorer), and rechecked the MD5.

For some odd reason, this time the flash took!

Thank you all for the help, and happy holidays!

Really strange how some phones act so different. Glad u got it working.

Still really sick...

I will check in another day or two. I have not been this sick in years...

Feel better bro. Bummer to be sick and have to work during the holidays :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thornev:
Get well soon, Scott. Thanks for a great ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Amphibliam:
Does this ROM use the stock kernel or a modified one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mark-in-dallas:
It uses the stock Kernel, and that's what Scott refcommends sticking with. Although I'm trying the Faux Kernel now undervolted, and everything seems to be running fine.

Just don't run a custom kernel and come back asking about issues. :)

Get better Scott and Merry Christmas to all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anthony92170:
yes dev recommends twrp but if adding themes ect twrp has caused issues I use cwm since evo days and never any problems. I think a lot of problems is unlocking and rooting. but go with your gut on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JGonzo1299:
I have CLEAN Rom 3.1.. i was waiting til the ROM was built on the official OTA.. which to my understanding is already released? I only say that it was cause my aunt just got the S3 for christmas and it had Jelly Bean K3 release on it, stock.

Anyways, my question is can i flash Clean 5.5.1 right over 3.1 or will i have to wipe my data/cache/davlik , etc? I'd rather not go through the process of reinstalling everything and setting my phone up again. I'm lazy....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anthony92170:
Sorry to say this i recommend a clean install because correct me if I am wrong but I believe it's all different framework. plus you avoid any conflicts and problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toronto_fuze:
Thank you for making my phone so much more desirable. Get well soon brother.

Had some major issues with battery with the rom (5.5.1 and 5.5.2) with stock and leankernel but once I installed faux and set it up to some settings shown in a screenshot awhile back, it seems to be several thousand times better. Sometimes you just have to play around with settings to get the right performance it seems... So defintely play around with settings and kernels if it seems your battery is pretty "meh". Or try going back to an older cleanrom if it worked for you. 4.5 seemed to work the best for me.

Will report back in a few days to see if this is still the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moun7ain:
I was having some problems with applications running in the latest Synergy so I gave this a shot. Boy, I am really happy I did. From the installer, to the actual rom, this is well polished and fast. It appears to be handled professionally, and I am very pleased.

Thanks for an awesome ROM. I look forward to more of your work.

Got my GS3 yesterday to replace my GNex and when I initially powered up, it notified me that there was an update waiting (4.0.4 -> 4.1). I delayed it (I think the longest I could delay it was one week). After that I rooted and ROM'd it with this ROM. Normally I wouldn't ask this but this ROM looks so close to Samsung stock....I won't have to worry with the OTA with this ROM right? I know I never did with any that I used with the GNex BUT they never looked and felt so true to stock.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chocu1a:
OTA & CleanROM are the same version. The reason this looks like a stock TW rom, is because it basically IS. Only it has been cleaned up & improved for speed & reliability.

Enjoy your new toy.

Don't forget to install the latest rpm and radio since you didn't take the otas

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
What is an rpm? Where do I find the radios?

While I am here. I've noticed two things with this ROM that I'm not used to with my nexus: I get persistent notifications about WiFi and keyboard (select input method everytime keyboard (samsung) is open and occasionally even after). I also miss the autocorrect for typing. Where do I fix these issues?

Thanks!

But will I still be nagged by vzw to update when a new one comes out? I wouldn't think so since I'm not EXACTLY stock but I'm not used to sticking so close to stock when I rom and I'm curious as to how it functions in this regard....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightstalk3rs:
Love the ROM! Super fast and battery has been great so far! I do have one problem though. I'm not exactly sure that this is a ROM specific issue, but I know it doesn't happen on other ROMs I have used, such as Synergy.

Has anyone figured out a way to make it so that when the screen is off and you hit the home button that it just wakes the phone up, instead of waking the phone up AND returning to the home screen? I've been searching Google, XDA, etc for hours now and it seems to be a common problem, but nobody knows how to fix it other than installing and activating S-Voice (which would create the home button lag that I'm sure many of you are familiar with).

Any ideas or help with this would be great! It's not exactly a deal breaker for me, but it's so much more convenient to hit the home button to wake the screen instead of the power button. Thanks so much!

When i try to flash the ROM, TWRP says its unable to open to open zip file. I wiped data, cache, davlik.... but i also wiped the ROM so now i have nothing to reboot on.... please advise. Thanks

You need to have s voice installed from aroma installer and go to s voice settings and click "open via home key" after that you can disable s voice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Did you check the MD5 sum before you flashed? And try to restore from a previous backup if you have any. And if you don't have one then try installing a ROM into a MICROSD card and install the ROM into your phone from there using your external storage.

Yeah i cant even reboot it into recovery now... its still the power buttons, up volume and down volume like the galaxy S Fascinate right?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
A few more questions....

1. I discovered what an RPM is by reading over at Rootzwiki. It looked like some people had mixed reviews on installing them, though all of the negatives that I saw seemed to be using non-TX based ROMs. Are RPMs specific to Samsung TW-based ROMs? I never heard of them when flashing on my Nexus,

2. As far as the keyboard and WiFi notifications: I did a search and came up with hits on a lot of stuff - but not what I was looking for. Is there a fix for these notifications?

3. Finally, when searching for the answer to #2 - I saw some mentioning flashing the 4.2 GAPPs packages but never saw mention of outcomes of such flashing. I'd LOVE to go back to the 4.2 Keyboard and 4.2 camera. Did people have positive/negative results when flashing these 4.2 packages?

Sorry, but I'm trying to get caught up to speed on these things and there's 950 pages here. I'm trying to adjust to the new terms (RPM), new and different ROMs when coming from the Nexus forums. And there seems to be soooooo many more variants of the GS3 !!

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
If you have a computer near you, then you can transfer the ROM from your computer into the microSD card using an adaptor and then use the microsd card to install the ROM.

RPMs are all based for the phone, which means that there are no RPMs that are specific to any ROM.

WiFi notifications can be fixed by going into the settings, WiFi, and unchecking the notify me option in the WiFi section.

Can't say much about the 4.2 gapps since I never used them though. Sorry. :(

And we all feel that way when it comes to new phones. No biggie since I was also the same when I first moved into the GS3 from the DInc2. :)

Easiest way to get rid of keyboard notification I'd to go into settings... Language & input and disable all keyboards except the one you use... If you don't wanna use the stock keyboard then just uninstall via titanium backup or other similar app

NVM im an idiot. the file was not completely transferred from my phone.... I guess thats what i get for trying to transfer the file to my phone while i was already late for work!. it was only 661mb.. and the original file is 700 something.. got it. on the sd card using my co-workers phone. its installing now.

No, but you may be able to take a lesson from your experience. Alway be sure you have a nandroid backup to fall back on before you flash... JIC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
+1 on that for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightstalk3rs:
Thanks for the suggestion :) This is the way I was referring to in my previous post, and for me it only works if you keep S-Voice enabled. It works the first time you disable it before a reboot because it is still running, but once you reboot, it does not work anymore. I'd prefer not to keeping it enabled since it creates that home button delay lag of like almost a second as it waits to see if you are going to hit home again to launch S-Voice.

I'm not sure why this is not a problem in the Synergy ROM because even though it installs S-Voice by default, I never launch it, thus not activating it. I even freeze S-Voice with Titanium Backup or delete it through Root Explorer sometimes with Synergy, and I have never had this problem. I saw a bunch of posts around the web, and a lot in XDA of people reporting this as a bug, and that you can change the way the home button acts with the Galaxy SIII by editing the file "sec_keys.kl" in system/usr/keylayout. I couldn't seem to get it to work and even copied the file from Synergy and it didn't work.

I'm not sure why this happens, and I know a lot of people say just use the power button to wake the phone up because that works fine, but the home button is just more natural for me to hit when holding the phone. Nonetheless, this doesn't change the way I feel about how awesome this ROM is! I appreciate all the work Scott puts into this, and the reason I switched from Synergy to this is because this ROM is just super fast in comparison on my phone!

Keyboard notfication

I tried to go in and disable any unused keyboards and, while two are checked, they are both greyed out and neither can be unchecked. When I installed CleanROM it did ask me about Swype and I must've chosen it because it's there, I tried titanium but didn't see an option for disabling what must be a system app (because it was installed alongside the ROM). I also went into app manager and 'disabled it' but nothing changed. I hope I don't have to rewipe/re-flash to get rid of the notification.

Any other suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
So what exactly you trying to do?

stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o0BlacknesS0o:
My suggestion would be to dirty flash the rom... which means to just wipe cache and dalvik first... No need to wipe data then just flash the rom again but don't select swype (i personally don't select swype since you can always just download the beta) then reboot

This is what I recommend if you plan on using the stock keyboard

If you plan on downloading another keyboard then do the above and after reboot open titanium... Hit backup/restore find samsungime or Samsung keyboard and click on it then hit backup(just in case for later) then select again and hit uninstall

I hope I wasnt too confusing lol... You could just uninstall swype without dirty flashing but that would live certain swype lib files which could cause problems if you ever tried to install the latest beta

Also download another keyboard first if you plan on getting rid of swype and stock keyboard

I'm new to TW so this may actually be TW as designed - but the ringer control is strange (to me). When I am on the home screen use the rocker switch try to move the ringer down to vibrate sometimes it controls the ringer volume but other times it controls the media.

I cannot figure out how to make it exclusive to the ringer when on the gone screen.....I understand that when I am in playing a game/media/etc the rocker controls the volume of those media. That is not my issue.

Its been a while since I had my S3. Had it stolen about a long while ago and now I finally got my replacement today. I totally forgot whats the best order to flash everything and what not since JellyBean is now on here. Last time I had my S3 was when CleanRom was still in ICS.

If anyone could help and tell me the best order to install everything? My idea is to just wipe everything, flash the rom, the 5.5.2 patch and reboot. Then reboot to recovery and install the RPM radio and the KTK kernel. Is this reccomended?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moun7ain:
That sounds correct. You can probably do it all in one recovery session and be okay. Also, you don't really need to flash the RPM. They haven't been shown to do anything.
