[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadmod:
Hello, together, up until now I was on Omega 4.0 (Yes very old rom^^) and due to many problems I wanted to set my Phone back to zero.

For that purpose I took the firmware with three parts and the 220 PIT for devices with 16gb, Now in the Odin log it shows for almost an hour now: "NAND Write Start!!"

The progressbar doesn´t move a bit and the phone itself isn´t showing any change either -.-'

Directupload.net - n79fcdue.jpg

Also the downloadmode looks different to my mind?...

So what should I do?!

To my knowledge the battery doesn´t load while flashing, so I can´t keep this up forever!

I have no clue what is going wrong and I am afraid I am bricking my 500€ phone!!! :( Please Help!

Here the complete Odin log:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Ok first question is have you used PIT file .

The site you got the firmware from may give more information as XDA say never use PIT .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadmod:
Believe me, I will never use it again -.-

It just always worked fine on my old P1000 and gave me simply a Internal SD cleaned from all the garbage I loaded on there over time.

But on the S3 it seems to just **** everything up^^

I used the GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit

Found it here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/origina...ersicht-firmware-listen-anleitungen-mods.html

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Why have You used old pit? Mx.pit from May is that proper you should use to flash. You have no choice now, disconnect your phone and try to enter download mode.

I don't wont to scare You, but its look like flashing has stoped when bootloader was transfered and this is worst thing that may happend.

I hope You don't bricked your device. If its boot into download mode use this (Odin with proper pit file inside):

Now trying to flash without PIT, just in case the file system is wrecked: What is the right PIT?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadmod:
The same **** happens without PIT and regardles of the firmware version!

Is there any way to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadmod:
Hell yeah!

It works again! :)

Mx.pit did the job :)

phewwwwwwwwww the suspense killed me reading through this thread

glad it aint bricked

an awful situation
[Acer Iconia A500] dman918:
I currently run Flexreaper and am going to upgrade to the latest "extreme" edition. I either have to upgrade the bootloader to ICS or use a special kernel. So, should I go ahead and upgrade the bootloader? What is the benefit to doing so? What is the easiest method to do so (is it Civato's in the dev section)?

Thanks for your help!
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
You'll gain ability to flash any new ICS and JB based ROM. HC bootloader supporting ROMs is a dying species and sooner or later you will need to upgrade anyway. You also gain unlocked fastboot access with the ability to boot or flash any kernel or recovery image (there is no checksum checking).
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
And there's multiboot -- you can basically run two roms beside each other or run a full debian install for added features (things like LibreOffice and VLC) at native speed (chroot is slooow).
[Acer Iconia A500] lcd047:
No, you can't. You can boot two kernels, not two ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] masterleron:
I was just wondering which one is better for speed, battery life and their UI's. I have given up on the Sense roms, too slow and buggy.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] prairie-dad:
I know I've seen your name in the forums before, but forget what you're using now. Have you tried either of the EliteMod versions (one CM7, one ICS?) I'm using the latter now and very happy with it for speed, battery and UI (Apex launcher.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
I second this, for ICS either elitemod or Andromadus mimicry. Apex launcher.

Though for gingerbread, I'd say elitemod CM7 or g2slim.

Also for an even faster and lighter launcher there is lightning launcher.

[G2 and Desire Z General] masterleron:
Yeash, I must ask a lot of questions then, lol. I am currently on Gen. Y Vision B5. However I have found it very slow and buggy. I have also tried Andromadus Mimicry. It was the best i'd seen, but I wanted something which had better battery life.

Will have a look at EliteMod Now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PNuT.:
ILWT for me...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dryize:
MIUI

Better battery life + Good Look = its definitely MIUI

from my experience MIUI has the best battery life.. abt 2 hours of music, txting, wifi, browsing and total of 30min calling, yet i always come home above 30%
[G2 and Desire Z General] GrievousMcG:
I know that I've asked this before but does these ROMs set the phone's CPU to a default speed? Or do you do that yourself by using something like the SetCPU app?

I'm in the process of rooting my phone and will be looking at GB ROMs such as MIUI, ILWT and CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dryize:
MIUI doesn't have a built in feature to set CPU speeds. But most other CM based roms does have such option built in. Look for something like Performance->CPU in settings. There you can set a CPU governor too
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
I thought MIUI was discontinued for our devices?
[G2 and Desire Z General] prairie-dad:
It is confusing because of the several Miui sites. But that is the impression I get, too. I just spent a certain amount of time looking, and failed to come up with anything current.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Yes they discontinued support for the vision after gingerbread. Anything found that is android 4.0 or higher will be ports, not to say they will be good or bad but they won't be specific to our phones
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dryize:
Yes it is... But it is stable and it has every feature needed. I have used MIUI without restarting for more than a week. No glitches though. But sure can use extra stuff like miui_bulletproof_pack, though Im not using it.

Its a stable rom + with super cool look + good performance and good battery life. What else do we need :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] tylerjholmgren:
I've tried both and performance and stability wise I'd go with glite not that slim isn't good

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] masterleron:
Tried G-Lite, however it had some simple bugs such as the screen timeout not working. :confused:.

Back to Mimicry.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arsonist63086:
G-light hands down its fast stable gives you the option of choosing kernels before flashing (conservative HTC kernel or full featured kernel capable of 1.4ghz Oc) . As for issues their ain't none I've been using g-light since it came to play . The screen issue must of been a bad flash
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anks.manuja:
Hi

I just upgraded my Note GT N7000 from RocketICS ROM to [ROM][GT-N7000][JB][4.1.1] CyanogenMod 10 - Official Preview [#4].

I backed up all my data using Titanium Backup 5.5.1 including contacts and other user data.

Although everything else seems to work fine..I am not able to restore my contacts data using the titanium backup. The restore is successful but I am not able to see the contacts.

I also tried to sync my contacts through my google account but only half of them got restored.

Thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R@J$3K#@R:
I think by using titanium backup,you cant restore contacts

contacts app and the app data like contact preferences get restored

Andtry to sync again,you will be getting all your contacts back
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pratikverma28:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatimgame:
Hi all!

Is there any ways of changing back the /system and /data partition to it's old place?

400Mb it kinda small.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
No your stuck I'm afraid. Have a look at the Helly Bean rom which will use a different partition layout. That will have more space for apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Besthiroeu:
Just move apps to sd card in settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpurohit:
you can mover few apps to system partition, this will give you more space.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
^And lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatimgame:
Can't add all my apps to SD, because the OS would die of the lag.

It would be good to create a data forder in /system and link it to /data (it may be stupid).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
App data is stored on /data when you move to sd natively. The rest of the game has to be read, so no lag at all. data stays on fast chip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatimgame:
But the data that stored on my lil bit slow class6 sdcard makes the system slow.

By the way I can't see that speed up after the partition change. I hope pawitp will change it back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishears:
You can do it yourself quite easily by compiling CM10 from source. All you need to do is revert the kernel and os changes that were made by Pawitp. After that you can build your own nightlies. Take a look at the guide to compiling CM10 from source thread. Also, here are the commits you'll need to revert:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_aries/commit/0c3f5d384b092e6d9874faed0c1122c95e6ca32b

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_aries-common/commit/8778488c4920d2245164a8c99f89e85f664e6a50

As you can see from my signature, I've already done this myself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatimgame:
But if I would build my own nightly I couldn't use Devil kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishears:
You can if DerTeufel is open source ;) Semaphore can be used. Stratosk is open also Kasper (Mackay kernel)

You have many options. The choice is yours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roccatgaming:
As we stand right now, with all the kernels/ROMs flying around... what would be a choice that would give us more space for apps? I only got 366 MB now on CM10 and in the last year the app sizes has grown (generally speaking). After installing all Gapps, some mandatory day-to-day apps and a GPS app I am kinda out of space for any other apps. That's sad... 4 years ago when I bought the phone I had ~100 apps installed (of course, the phone worked like c**p but the space was there).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anx7501:
I searched but could not find a registry tweak/entry which allows a complete disable for the Sense "Recent Documents" background task. I am NOT reffering to simply hiding it from the Sense tab menu. I am trying to completely disable background search and parsing of documents placed on the storage card.

Even if I disable the 'Documents' tab from the Sense menu, or even turn off Sense, the phone will continously search, as a background task, the storage card and parse any newly discovered documents, pdf, doc, xls, etc. Either turn off Sense (Settings/Today) or hide "Recent Documents" tab, then insert storage card with new documents and device.exe process will consume CPU resourse untill document search and parse is complete. Upon re-enable of document tab and Sense, the new documents will appear immediately, having been alreay indexed. I want to disable this background feature completely but have not found a soluiton.

Using the device with no storage card, or one with no documents, allows my Tmous HD2 to run faster with less lag and lower battery drain. By disabling background search and parsing of documents for the "Recent Documents" tab I can improve preformance and still have the many documents I need and use on my storage card.

Thanks for any help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nav200:
the phone doesn't seem to detect any storage so camera,gallery,etc don't work after I flashed hydrog3n rom and NEAK kernel. I can't seem to enter cwm either so it seems like my only option is odin but the phone is currently with my father who isn't familiar with all this and travelled back to Brunei today.

Any help is appreciated

good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nav200:
so I linked him the fix but it seems that it doesn't work because the internal sd isn't being detected but when he opens the gallery, he can see al the photos he's taken in the background but the error still pops up. So is it safe to say the gallery fix works?

thanks

If he can see his pictures, then I think it's fixed.

He can download another file manager from market

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawiseguy77:
Ok so im planning on rooting my gs3 as i do with all of my phones. However im am very confused on this imei thing. Now that the bootloader is unlockable does the imei need to be backed up? And if i dont back it up what happens? This is just very confusing as ive never had this issue with any other phones. Thank for the community help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
When flashing Roms (mostly AOSP) there is a small chance you will lose your IMEI. It's nice to back it up so you won't have to hassle later trying to get it back. Always back up things when you flash because even though you do everything right, things can go wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Yeah back it up using QPST. I found it over at rootzwiki. The bootloader doesn't have to do with that. It's very sporadic it seems for people losing IMEI.

If you don't back it up and you lose it, you won't have data or basically a connection to Verizon. There is a way to restore it if you didn't back up but it leaves you in roaming. Backing up using QPST is very easy, do it! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Check out the new backup method thats a flashable .zip in cwm recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawiseguy77:
thanks for all you repsonses guys. Guess when in doubt backup everything!!!! i should know better, but i guess im geting a little lazy. with all the awesome devs out there i guess i expect perfection lol:p

SynergyROM has incorporated the flashable backup into their build. I can't confirm that it's working as my IMEI has remained intact, but the backup folder was created and populated during my last install.

I'll second synergy thread as well. Great info from eschalon and TrevE.

I also did qpst backup as well. Doesn't hurt to be cautious.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pig Vomit:
Sorry in advance for what seems to me to be a rather noob type of question (yes, I did a search!).....

Suppose one wanted to go to stock LEM from stock LH2 on an unrooted phone. Could you do this using Odin without tripping the flash counter?

Taking this a step further....

Suppose that while on LH2, you had upgraded (some debate on whether this was smart or not) the rear camera firmware from ZDFF02 to ZDFF03. Once back on LEM, would you be able to flash the rear camera firmware back to ZDFF02? Or is this not possible because ZDFF03 is considered by the phone OS to be a later firmware than ZDFF02? I'm assuming that flashing back to LEM wouldn't also automatically change the camera firmware back to ZDFF02.

And another question comes to mind for those who flashed the OTA Jelly Bean firmware. Anyone bother to check the camera firmware versions? Is there yet another camera firmware available?

***Answered in another thread. Camera firmware in OTA Jelly Bean is ZEFE02.***

Thanks in advance for all replies.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sarni84:
Odin stock official image would not trip counter...besides there is a fix called triangle away from market it works flawless. And brings the counter to "NO" so no worries.

I think camera firmware update was only available on newest update Cuz trying on lem was a no go.

And finally didn't try it on Jb firmware but I'm sure when u went back to other ROM or ROMs u would be back to what older firmware there was.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] raidrom:
Ok this is silly .I ordered an andida 2000 mah battery and I can't edit sys/class/power_supply/battery/full_bat . I can't even access it in terminal with Su . I tried to Change the value from 1620 to 2000 and even tried editing subfolders to But it will not stick .I tried in es explorer changing permissions editing then changing them back so nobody can write but it still reverts back .

Is this kernal related ? If it is can kozmik make it avaible to change the value via aroma ?there is only these options 1620 stock .1800 .2000.or the extended at 3500 mah .

I fear this is kicking out and charging to full capacity and that's why most batterys suck in these phones .

Anyone have advice ?

Current setup .- unlocked HTC raider . Holics 1.3 . Kozmik beta 13 . S-off .Jupunbear hboot .TWRP recovery
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
I tried accessing the "battery" folder using Root explorer, and it caused Root Explorer to FC. (S-Off, pure velocity rom, bell raider)

I have the 2000mah andida battery also, and would like to ask: Is what you're trying to do necessary? What do you expect to happen if you can successfully edit and save the changes to that file?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] raidrom:
Well it is part of the hardware files that controls LEDs and etc . What I believe is that it is sensing a full charge at 1620 mah and kicking off . With a green led indicating so. Just like you can leave you phone on the charger all night and it won't over charge it right . HTC has made it in the folders ad. Safety net . Where I'm sure other phones have N auto detect feature .just a thought

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lamebmx:
Hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong here. But you are right, the /sys/ folder is very kernel related. They are not files that can be modified like normal. I will leave you something to do for homework! Browse the /sys/ folder and find your vibe in a terminal. Now this stuff links to your hardware, you cant open and edit the file. But you can "echo 1 > vibe" replacing vibe with the "file" of your vibe and of course no quotes. Now with your phone vibrating push a 0 to it with ........ echo 0 > vibe. Welcome to an excellent question that delves into linux hardware hacking!!!!! As for the mAH with these newer batteries, I am a lot less clear. Unless the battery has the info encoded to it, it should calculate that value from charge/discharge rate, change in battery voltage & change in time.

edit, should be able to use cat to get info btw ie "cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/full_bat" will show its full value
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
Neat.

Running

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/full_bat

produced a value of 1620. I assume that is mAh? I currently have an Andida 2000mAh battery in my phone. Does this mean the phone isn't identifying my battery like a 2000 mAh battery? Or.. does it mean I could be missing out on extra life that this battery could offer?
