[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WillieWonka1985:
I've had my sgs4g for over a year. I've had my friend and her husband get a contract with T-Mobile with the SGS4g as well. My reason for rooting my galaxy was not a good one. but I am thankful that I have. Being that my friend had the same problems. I sometimes when we enter the dialer or the MMS SMS screen the phone will back out of that screen and we will not be able to get into it until sometime later. This is just one of the many problems we've encountered with the stock T-Mobile system. I have never been afraid of voiding my warranty because they are Expensive to replace even with the store warranty. rooting my phone is the best thing I have done with it. The only problem I have with the Roms I'm using is that I can't find any way to use tmobile contacts backup. I would like to end this note by thanking all of the developers and and yes even the newbies. An answer to any problem that you find can be fixed using a great amount of reading and Google search anytime a day seven days a week. Once again I like to thank all you developers. I am currently looking into buying a galaxy S3. I probably won't customize it right away but a lot of people are based that amount of bloatware. I am currently using CM9 ice cream Sandwich and I love it. I have been staying up all night reading all about the galaxy S 4G and RoMs kernels etc. and I look forward to one day being knowledgeable enough to help others on the FORUM. Sorry about my spelling grammar etc. as I am using voice to text. Thank you to developers as I look forward to trying out and testing all of your newer ROMs. I have enjoyed them thoroughly. There are endless possibilities TO THESE phones now that we have developers and this forum that I so greatly enjoy. I look at this as a great learning opportunity. There is my answer thank you for asking.:p

Just wanted the control of my phone that I pay T-Mo for. Not rooting a phone is like buying a PC and only being able to log on as a guest. F that. My money, my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] IAIRonI:
Mainly, I flash what you guys make so I can stay up to date with Android. Been doing it since my G1. Not only that but vanilla Android only gives you so much. I like the customization of these roms. There is so much capability with our phones that it's almost foolish not to flash something on em. And after flashing roms for so long you kind of just wait "patiently" for the newest versions of whatever rom you're using and flash away. Granted I don't flash many alpha builds but if something is missing like wifi calling or tethering it's not that big of a deal to me. I have a mytouch 4g as well and the initial ics roms didn't have working cameras and I still used em just so I could have ics so it's really about having the latest and greatest for me.

Also, I'm a fan of creativity. It's cool seeing what you guys come up with and lurking in threads to see what workarounds were thought of.

Hi Bryan and everyone else

My reasons for rooting SGS4G about a year ago were :

1. Having purchased this unique American device on a US visit I returned to my country and didn't have the language support I needed. I knew for sure that T-mo and everyone else will not do anything about it, and realized it is up to me to pick up the glove.

Hebrew fonts were only added on GB, so I had GB leaks before stock came out and Right-To-Left support was only added on ICS, but I managed to make it here on GB already. I know that there are only dozens like me but still I wanted to share it to help those guys like me. With the food came the appetite and I learned how to flash and make flashables.

I did brick my phone the 1st week I had it (trying to Odin a vibrant ROM to it) but even the technician that revived my phone (and not for free) wasn't able to root it & didn't want to deal with it, and I was kinda forced to learn it all by myself.

2. After owning an SGS i9000 in the past I knew I couldn't possibly stay with bloatware and non relevant apps (especially if I'm not even in the US) WIFI calling etc. It takes place, actually bothers you with notificstions and annoying reminders, so I rooted.

3. There are things like voodoo sound and bln (and off course Titanium) that are important for some of us, even necessities.

Hope I helped.

I rooted to get the newest Roms. I wouldn't have gotten ICS on GS4g if it weren't for Team Acid and you ;) thats the best reason I guess, getting ICS on a very Capable but abandoned phone( i hate carriers)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reclamer:
i can answer that with a few reasons

first of all, im a college student im in for android making of the apps getting into the software of it.. my professor said to me if you wanna know how things tick play with them tear them about watch how they are built how you can find weakness in the systems.

well guess what i did about two months ago i did a lot of researching about android and then i came across rooting... i read about that and that its what i need to do to me a dev. so i been on your forums since yesterday this site (XDA developer) has been the most helpful place.. i been to a lot of android forums so i have to root and flash CyanogenMod 7 so i can see whats all the fuss about the cyanogen mod. i know three people that have it so why not try it

second of all its for the newer roms :)

third- i have two samsung Galaxy s 4G let see what makes it tick and how its made

Goo day to you all

as the title i got today a new sandisk ultra for my galaxy s3.

when i inserted it into the phone i see i have a storage of 58.7 or something.

but when i use my card reader and windows i see only 27.8Gb.

i want to format the card to exFat for the option to transfer larger then 4Gb files but i can't because i want to use all the 64Gb space.

the card is original for sure!

thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] deliad:
Try mount the card via the phone by usb mass storage to the pc

Maybe its your reader
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ricey:
I had this issue too, it was because my card reader didn't support SDXC specifications. I had to use the built in reader in my fairly new laptop to format.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] likwaiw:
What version of Window you are using?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] james341:
First of all the card reader is old so maybe you are right and I'm using windows 7.

I have also an old mac book.

Maybe I will try with my wife Acer laptop in the evening
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
you won't get the full 64GB, after formatting you should about 59.5GB.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] james341:
used my wife laptop

everything went well

it was the card reader

thanks

[Galaxy S III Accessories] popboywei:
I have the 64GB class 10 from BB when they ran the 49.99 promotion a couple of weeks ago. I used the Easeus to format the card as FAT32 in one minute. And it had 59.48GB , which is what it's supposed to be. Idk if it's the same for the ultra . Just FYI

It may be possible to find your tab if you know your imei number or if you had lookout or some other tracking software installed .

If you have activated synchronization, you may have luck that the person who stolen your tab makes some nice photos that you see it in the cloud.

Plan B is for if you don't have Lookout installed. Hence, why it is called plan B with Lookout being Plan A.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] werkuh_:
Hi there,

yesterday my girlfriend flashed her mini pro. It was totally stock 4.0.4. The bootloader was unlocked using the testpoint method, flashing the Kernel and ROM (MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP), Camera and Keyboard went fine, no trouble came up. Today she realized that, with the Superuser App is installed, there is no root access. Checked that with Root Checker and it says even so. As the flashed ROM should be pre-rooted, is it sufficient to just flash superuser.zip?

Since I'm not familiar with the device I just like to be sure what to do next.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance :)

Easiest method:

- Root your device here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

- flash Siyah kernel or SpeedMod afterwards.

*** READ THIS***

- You must change your kernel from a stock/stock- based one. This is because there is a brick bug on your stock kernel, if you do factory reset on your stock kernel in CWM recovery after rooting, your device is gone

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frank_jarle:
I forgot something in my first post, should i use Odin or CWM recovery mode? I see there is some recommend Odin and some CWM recovery, but as i am new to all this i am not sure what to use, i found a guide for Odin, but not for CWM. I also read something about a counter will increase if i use Odin, why is this bad for me?

Frank
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Odin will increase your counter.

Use my method to root. you can then flash a custom kernel via CWM recovery or mobile Odin which will not increase your counter

There's no bother on Binary Counts as you can reset it using Triangle Away .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
if you boot your device in download mode, it will show you 'custom binary counter' or so.

The counter is 0 on a new device but will increase each time you flash a custom ROM/kernel/package not signed by Samsung via Odin.

If you go to a service center to claim warranty, the first thing their engineer will first check if the binary counter

I understand what you are writing about stock kernel, but then which kernel should i switch to based upon the details i have posted in my original, could you post link to recommended kernel? I am so new to this that i need to be teaspoon-fed with details, there is so many ROMs and Kernels out there that it is a jungle and the more i read the more confused i get all about this. I read one thread, which again link me to another thread. I think this task or what i need to accomplish should have taken less then 30min(?), but has probably driven me for 3-4 hours. Nevertheless, i enjoy doing research :)

I like to keep my phone as stock as possible, but with root access so i can gradually remove things i do not want or install other programs.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:

When the Epic was picked up a an "official" device, I thought that mean that the "base drivers" had reached a point where they were "universal" for Android versions.

Do base things like , radio, kb, wifi, modem, etc.. need reworked for EACH version of android.

Is it these files missing from the "base" CM10 files that go to all CM10 phone builds, that need recoded each android version?

Or is there some other aspect I missed. Is it all a kernel issue, with the CM UI being set across all devices?
