Hi,

I have rooted my GS3 and applied the OTA Update to LH9. All is well and many thanks to the wonderful DEV's who made the task so easy.

I installed the Tether and Cell Standby Fix from the same thread that I used to apply the OTA Update here. That in effect enabled me to turn on the built in WiFi HotSpot instead of using a third party app.

My Stupid question is this...

Will using the built in WiFi instead of a third party, somehow inform AT&T that my phone is being used as a HotSpot?

do not use this..:rolleyes: there is a 4.2 gapps thread in this forum... it would only make sense to use that..

This happen alot, you should first go to the General section and read the stickies before you start messing around with your phone, dont want to turn that $600 device into a $600 paper weight.

Ok so i wont flame you for this, but.. if you go to the Original Dev. section there are plenty of Roms that are very stable with little to no issues. The best thing you can do is READ everything you can! and then.... Read some more.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

short answer.. Yes.

longer answer: They can tell if you use it to tether to a computer but someone said if you tether to another phone or a tablet you can get away with it if you dont use alot of data.. So either choice will result in AT&T contacting you if you arent using a tethering plan. Fyi Im tethering to my computer as we speak. this is the first time so we'll see if they are really on their A game lol

Yeah, I understand that. I already know what ROMs I'm going to try out. Maybe my question wasn't all that clear, I just wanted to know if there were any common issues with the device in case I needed to return it for a manufacturer problem. That way I wouldn't waste my time having to reflash Stock to get it exchanged. So far I've tested everything I can think of, so now its up to me to decide if I go AOSP/AOKP or Stock ROM based :)

A very easy way to root/install busy box/flash CWM recovery is with this tool kit:

The clockwork mod recovery is an old version but you can go to their website and download the image file. Then use the toolkit to create a flashable .tar file from that. Everything else should be good to go.

Just got my S3 and installed CM10. It took me a bit longer to get into cwm cuz I'm used to the Infuse. After I installed CM10 and JusTun Bean Gapps, the "first boot" application to put in gmail account for sync and whatnot did not appear. I reflashed and all that just to make sure it was something I did and it still did not appear. GMail and Play Store FC because of the account not present, Was it something on my end or has there been a problem with this. Both CM10 and JusTun Bean are the newest updates.

*EDIT*After searching a forum, searching individual posts on a few threads, I found that you need to install 4.1.2 JusTun Bean then 4.2. Stupid me not paying attention.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Yes it will, or you could just reflash the rom wiping cache/dalvik cache and that will return original kernel.

Unzip the .7z file to get at the .tar. Just unzip once. Odin will then recognize and flash the .tar

Hey guys, can I flash a kernel for the Verizon S3, or will that be a problem. I'm pretty sure that would be a problem if it had a modem as well, but I just wanted to be sure :)

EDIT, just to be specific this is the kernel is question
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bruce Lee:
The nandroid backup will restore both the ROM and the custom kernel. If you want to change kernels you have to flash one through your recovery and follow the devs directions with how to flash it and which things to wipe in recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tdiliplane:
no only use the firmware for your phone unless the dev. specifically states it will work with other variants.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natefish:
I think you have to turn it on manually in settings. Is there a toggle in the notification dropdown for it? The only other option would be to Google for "at&t mobile hotspot app apk" or something like that.

Is there an easy way to compare minor features on ROMs? For example, I'm still on the stock ROM for my sgh-i747 and there are a few very specific things that I want to keep if switching to another ROM.

One example would be the motion-shortcut for the camera on the lock-screen, where you touch the lock screen and twist the phone and it unlocks straight to the camera: a very minor feature but one that I use every-day that I find really nifty. Another example would be the voice control for the camera.

Most OP threads for ROMs that I've seen have lists of major features and tiny, isolated features in change-logs.

Short of asking other members or flashing the ROM myself, I've yet to find a way to check these sorts of things.

On my old HTC Desire Z running the mimicry ICS ROM, the latest update to Google Music worked great. The newest build supported gapless playback, and switching songs was fast even when I was listening to a regular album (non-mixed tracks).

On my stock Galaxy S III, I find it can often take quite a few seconds for it to switch tracks. In both cases, songs were stored on my microSD card. Any idea what could be causing this?

It could be a challange

So.... Yeah I'm a Noob, and I did look through the other threads but wasn't able to find an answer.

:confused::confused: I have a AT&T Galaxy S III, and my Question is. Is it possible to wipe, and unlock my phone so I can re-install a different firmware version from a different model phone from say the S III from Japan. I would think I have to root it first, so you can unlock it, then Un-root it (maybe to instal the new firmware) see this is where I start to get lost:eek:. I know the sites to get what I need to do it (I think) I just don't if it can be done. Please help thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Devhux:
Short answer is no. If you were to flash a ROM not designed for your phone you would likely brick it. At the very least it wouldn't work because the hardware is different.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natefish:
You're going to see lists like that because devs are mostly only going to list what is different from stock. The different types of roms (TW, AOSP, CM, AOKP) all have their own minor differences that you discover when you use them, but devs will only list what makes their roms stand out from others and/or what major bugs have been fixed between releases. So, if it's a Touchwiz rom you're looking at, it's going to be very close to stock and you can just look at the change log for what will be different.

Another thing I would suggest: if there is a minor feature you're not sure about, search the thread of that rom for it. For example, I'm picky about A2DP Bluetooth working on whatever rom I use, so I always search the thread for "A2DP"

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:

What issues will you get if you OTA update?

Rooted

Custom Roms

Unlocked Sim

Secondly, what do OTA's generally consist of? New OS? Patches to exist OS? etc?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Updates to the software, yea...

If it's just rooted with the stock recovery, the OTA will work, but remove root... If there's a custom recovery installed, it will fail, because it needs the stock recovery to flash... if it's unlocked using a different provider, im pretty sure whatever provider it's on isnt going to send an OTA to a different companies phone...

Stock and Boot Animation Changes

Just coming over from an S2, and pretty much had a custom rom on it from day 1. However, I'm going to stick with stock (rooted) on the S3 for awhile I think.

So, on a stock (rooted) ATT GS3, are we are not able to have custom boot animations? I flashed one but of course it didn't make any difference. most discussions are about custom rom animations, but I did see something file format (qmg file) and needing two files vs a zip file?

EDIT - found the answer, this process works great. A little more involved than just flashing it but once you make the changes in /system/bin AND changes to your bootanimation.zip files you can just replace that file in /system/media to change ani's.

Bricked?

I was following the steps here. Seems I installed ClockworkMod fine. Copied the latest ROM and Gapps to the internal SD card. But when I tried to install zip from SD card, I received an error status 7.

I was stuck in recovery mode for a while, unable to do anything. Now the phone is off and I can't get it into download mode. When I finally release the buttons, it vibrates once and briefly shows an image of a battery.

Not a happy camper. :eek: Advice greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

The alternate state I can achieve is getting stuck on the Samsung logo.

Fortunately (?) it seems that Odin recognizes the phone.

I'm downloading the AT&T image from here but, since I can't get into download mode, not sure what I'm going to do once it's downloaded.

UPDATE 1:

I'm in a slightly better mood because I read that removing the battery might help. And it did. I was able to get into download mode again. I flashed (is that the right word?) the latest CWM recovery v5.5.0.4 because I read that might be the problem. However, I still get status 7 error, installation aborted when I try to install cm-10 from the sdcard.

UPDATE 2:

Thankfully, it looks like I'm OK. Installed the AT&T ROM mentioned above and am back to a functioning phone. Rooted again using this video and am now using ROM Manager to try again.

I'm currently on stock rooted TouchWiz and I've previously run CM10. I'd like to try one of the AOKP builds (Task or straight-up AOKP), but reading through the known issues for Task's rom made me reconsider. It seemed like there were just too many possible deal-breakers in spite of the fact that I've heard many people say it's much more stable than CM10. So are there any JellyBean AOKP roms that "just work"? I don't want to have to deal with disabling HW overlay, bluetooth issues, not being able to save pics to sd card, etc., etc...

Changing CWM

Well I have two questions to ask

I found the CWM TOUCH v6.0.1.4 version for my Samsung S3 I747M and installed it unaware of the LTE version. I have also installed a custom rom in the meantime. Then I found the LTE version of CWM a few days later. What's the easiest procedure to re-installing this or do I need to?

Second question is What's the procedure for changing from a custom ROM to a new ROM? Is it the same as making a NANDROID back up and wiping cache + restoring back to factory? Or is there more I need to know?

Backwards flashing CM10

I started on my phone stock rooted. Tried all the ROMS and ended up liking CM10 stable the most. I started flashing the nightlies and started getting random soft reboots.

My question is can I just re-flash back to CM10 stable from the 11/30 nightly or do I have to restore my phone to Stock rooted (my CWM backup) than reflash?

I'd ask in the CM10 thread but I'm still not at 10 replies lol.
