But if AT&T is also still on ICS

and Rogers is also, then I can't get JB STOCK at all at this point? Just don't see the point in flashing AT&Ts rom via ODIN if its going to be ICS.

I've tried CM10 and another JB ROM but I've been finding a lot of bugs and inconsistencies and want to revert back from the custom ICS ROM I've been using to a carrier stock ROM.

Help with installing TWRP

I am trying to install TWRP using GooManager. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3 from AT&T. I am currently running the WanamLite rom. I'm trying to follow these instructions from the official website:

I try to verify it, but as I don't even know what it supposed to be, its kind of hard. The filename that GooManager gives me is "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-d2can.img". I thought it would be "d2att" instead of "d2can" so its confusing me. Can someone tell me whether this is the right file or not?

The other installation method provided in the website sounds really scary. Especially "Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!".

So, please help.

EDIT:

I also have another question, which is for installing GApps. I'm planning on installing this rom. It provides a download link with a large list of versions. I'm thinking that the version i need is "gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip". Is this correct?

Now, as I"m adding everything back, I see everything is perfect except the text field where I enter a text message shows three lines instead of one.

I've looked for ten minutes straight all over my settings and can't figure out how to reduce the text field to only one line at a time! Any help? It just takes up more room and its bulkier :/

So I'm wondering if I flubbed a setting, but I upgraded my AT&T S3 to 4.1.1 last night and on the notification toggle it used to have one for "mobile data" I use this all the time since I generally keep mobile data off unless I need it since I have the smallest data plan and also to conserve battery. I don't want to have to go into settings -> data usage -> check off mobile data everytime I do this. The only options I have now are Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Vibrate, Screen Rotation, Airplane mode, power saving, driving mode, and sync. If they took this out is there anything that can add it back in? I'm not using anything custom, this is just the stock that came from kies.

I tried Power Toggles, but it adds a whole other row to the dropdown and another icon to the top of the screen when it's running.

Enable NFC when screen off

Had the screen off mod working via http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28045027&postcount=1 on ICS. But since the update to Jelly bean it won't work. I really miss this. Does anyone know of an app that will enable this? I've looked at all the threads I can find and tried even flashing a couple of the "other" nfc fixes to see if I can get one to work but I can't and have to go back to the stock nfc.

NFC tags are awesome for automation and even better when you don't have to unlock the screen.

Sorry for the noob post.....I mostly lurk and learn...but I'm at a loss for direction. Maybe I'll just have to wait.

Kies Not Recognizing Firmware

Hello,

I am very new to the forum (10 minutes) and have been searching around a bit, but with no luck. A while ago, I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 (Rogers) and with the new Jelly Bean (4.1.1) update, want to update that. I managed to do so via Odin, only because Kies won't recognize my firmware anymore. I'm not saying this is a huge deal, but I was wondering if there was a way to get Kies to recognize the firmware.

Thanks!

Kernel Flash/ROM Flash Question

I have an AT&T SG3. Currently I am running the Slimbean Rom. The Kernel it comes with is a cyanogen mod kernel. I want to try this Rom with a different kernel like leankernel. How do I just flash the kernel, but use a different rom. I searched the forums and it looks as though there is a way to do it, but I don't think I am using the correct search terms because I can't find on how to flash just one or the other....I'm sure its in here I just can't find it. Do I flash the kernel the same way I flash the ROM using TWRP? Thanks for anyones help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jgaf:
Yes, you flash the kernel just as a ROM. Before flashing wipe cache and dalvik cache, then flash kernel and then fix permissions. Remember to make sure that the kernel you are installing works for the ROM you are using, depending if its TW based, aosp/aokp/cm etc. And always, always, do a nandroid backup just in case :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jd1639:

k747 Kernel Flashing question

Really having fun trying out new roms and kernels. I came across the k747 kernel I want to flash, but the instructions state that the are a few drivers that are changed in this rom and simply reflashing a new kernal won't change them back. My question is, would a nandroid reinstall my original drivers too, if not how would I go about fixing the wifi driver it says it changes? I don't want to try this one if I can't go back if I don't like it. Thanks for any help!

After the JB update earlier this week, every time I plug my headphones in, the screen turns on and unlocks; all without touching anything. Is this a new "feature" and if so, how can I disable it? It's caused a lot of problems when I plug headphones in with the phone in my pocket. I've looked everywhere I can think of in every option and can't find anything.

Does anyone else have this happen?

My only idea is that it has to do with how I disabled that "ContextAwareService" right after I got my phone because I hated the notification screen options. But now I also don't see that service anywhere on the phone. Has it been replaced or removed with the JB update?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kostazu:
64GB external SD card in addition to whatever internal storage you have.

On stock touchwiz, the phone may be able to format the external sd cardproperly.

On CM 10, you'll need to format it FAT32 to get it to work. This Windows utility will do the trick:

For the life of me, I can't find a single definitive list of LTE frequencies supported by the i747m (i.e. the Canadian model, as opposed to the plain i747 that AT&T sells). Most of my usual sources are turning up conflicting combinations of 700MHz, 1700MHz, and 2100MHz.

Is there a firm, reliable way I can figure out which of the three the i747m supports? Is there a possibility that it differs by provider - which, given the shared baseband, seems to be unlikely at best?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
The ATT and Canadian versions all have the same bands... LTE 850 and 1900... and for calls, its quad-band... 850, 900, 1900, 2100
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
This just isn't true, given that there's no such thing as an LTE 850/1900 network here in Canada; those also aren't the LTE frequencies AT&T uses (which are, apparently, 700/1700/2100 MHz). Are you perhaps thinking of HSPA+ instead of LTE?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Yea think I goofed on that one... thanks for clarification... OP here's a better explanation

The LTE standard can be used with many different frequency bands. In North America, 700/800 and 1700/1900 MHz are used; 2500 MHz in South America; 800, 900, 1800, 2600 MHz in Europe; 1800 and 2600 MHz in Asia; and 1800 MHz in Australia.[31][32][33][34][35][36] As a result, phones from one country may not work in other countries. Users will need a multi-band capable phone for roaming internationally.

From:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_(telecommunication)#Frequency_bands

AT&T uses 700Mhz for LTE

http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=187&p=231
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
Thanks for looking that up, but if 700MHz is the only frequency AT&T is using right now (some more poking through that last link of yours suggests they have 1700/2100 allocated but not actually in use right now), that just confirms that the Canadian model, at least (if it's operating on different bands than the AT&T i747), is (also?) using something else, given that the Canadian networks don't currently use 700MHz; it sort of the opposite of the AT&T situation in that they are currently operating 1700/2100MHz LTE and have a 700MHz band allocated but not presently in use (here's an old news release from TELUS showing this, for example: http://about.telus.com/community/en...og/2011/04/06/telus-to-deploy-4g-wireless-lte).

Question about returning to stock

Hi guys, I have a couple questions that I'm hoping you can answer for me... but first, a bit of background info.

I recently rooted my device (US AT&T S3), installed CWM and then flashed CM10 (stable). While there were a lot of things I really liked about the ROM, the hardware support was bad, which meant that a couple of my apps didn't function properly and my battery life was in the dumps. This could have been my fault. Anyways, today I decided to go back to stock. I had flashed before the 4.1.1 update (I was on 4.0.4, I believe), and I used Odin and the method described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 (unfortunately, I cannot post on that thread because I have not posted over 10 times yet). Everything seems to have gone fine.

My questions: Do you think I'll be able to install the next update OTA (how "stock" is my phone right now)? My flash counter is at 3 or 4 right now - will I have to reset that before I could install the next official update OTA? How would I go about that? Would I have to clear that to send in the phone for any official kind of repairs?

Thanks in advance. This website has been a tremendous resource for me - you guys are fighting the good fight.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
You'll still be able to OTA since the ODIN to stock restored the stock 3e recovery... flash count doesn't matter when it comes to OTA, only warranty... So if you ever need to reset that, root the phone, use TriangleAway, then flash back to stock again...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtl171:
Yes. IIRC Samsung checks the flashcounter during warranty repair as youre not supposed to flash unoffical roms (?).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
You should just go ahead and delete that post man... Very little of it is accurate... All the OTA requires is the 3e recovery... PERIOD... rooted or not... and he flashed the prerooted stock, which has the 3e recovery... and since he's rooted, he should go ahead and use TriangleAway...
