I don't read everything, but so far the extent of what I've read is operator error... I don't think I've seen anyone brick their phone yet doing things properly... even on failed flashes, it just fails, and doesn't flash... Seems as though ODIN is doing some error checking now, instead of trying to jam something onto the phone... it was almost always changing the cable for the stock one when it failed like that... It seems to only want the stock cable...

It would only really be needed if something messed up, and I honestly don't see you messing anything up... there's no one-clicks though, just ODIN, and a stock kernal and ROM...

Stock

If I flashed CM 9 from stock and then want to go back to stock OS (shipped with the phone, touchwiz and all), what is the procedure? I am sure it is posted around the forums but I can't seem to find anything. Thanks.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
You'll need to flash the stock ROM and stock kernal with ODIN, and after flashing, be sure to wipe cache in 3e recovery or else it hangs on the bootscreen...

What is the process for going from CM10 to something like DietICS or other Touchwiz based ICS roms?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jpisgeek:
ROM Manager issues

I just flashed the nightly of CM 10 on my phone today. All is working great, even the clockworkmod touch recovery. However, when I try to do anything in ROM manager it tells me I have to first install a recovery. So I try to install it from within ROM manager and get the following error:

Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection and that your SD card is inserted and has free space!

I have a stable internet connection and almost 7 gigs free on my SD card. What can I do to fix this? I previously had an AT&T Galaxy S2 with CM9 installed for about a year. This is the first time I've attempted to get root or any custom roms installed on the S3. With my S2 I would simply go to get.cm every morning and download the newest nightly. Once it was finished downloading ROM manager recognized it and it would prompt to wipe my Dalvik Cache and reboot into recovery to install. I fear this isn't going to work with this error appearing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I followed the i747 unroot guide on Galaxyrootdotcom/Highonandroid and for some reason I still have root access?

Is there a way to unroot it without erasing everything all over again?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crakerjac:
So I'm running the SlimBean rom and I've now seen two restarts now.

I've run LogCats in the past but it seems that the buffer is cleared on a restart. Is there something I can do (or another app I can run) that will save this data so I can see what caused the device to PANIC and restart?

I'd like to help out with the community and something like this would be a good way to get my feet wet. I just need someone to help me get the ball rolling... A mentor per say.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
What your looking for is the last_kmsg in the /proc folder. That usually logs the reason for the reboot. There is a command for terminal to pull it to the SD card but I can't remember what it is ATM. You can also get it with a root enabled file explorer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] prbassplayer:
When it happens look at or provide /proc/last_kmsg if one none present you can cat kmsg. I believe it's

Su

Adb shell

Cat /proc/kmsg

This is top of my head so take it with a grain of salt, hope someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crakerjac:
Found a kmsg file in /proc but no last_kmsg. I tried running the Cat /proc/kmsg through terminal emulator but it looks like I'm viewing current log events.

You guys gave me a good place to start. I'll start probing around and see what I can figure out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] prbassplayer:
It is. Supposed to do it and make it reboot. Also better idea to use a computer not terminal emulator
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crakerjac:
That makes much more sense. I'll try that. I was hoping Android would capture some sort of call stack when ASSERT/PANIC conditions are hit. But I suppose I'm using to working with less complex systems.

I'm new to the SGS 3 but have some experience with rooting, unlocking, flashing etc. My question here is (and I googled for many days now to find an answer) how can I set the CMOS time? When booting into TWRP the date and time is of by years....it shows something like August 1970. I don't think the device was around at that time (otherwise Samsung would have won the suit against Apple... ).

Various Issues on my SIII / Using Jellybam 5.2

Okay since my brother is being of NO help to me after talking me into this, time for me to ask my stupid questions here...:confused:

I recently rooted (yesterday) and flashed my first rom which was the 5.2 version of JellyBam to my At&T Samsung 1747 model SIII.

Since then I have had to go through a laundry list of headaches to attempt to get back things in functioning order as they were. I am new to android but in no means new to hacking my hardware. I even purchased the pro version of Titanium backup to do so which I was met with multiple errors after batch restoring my content. I sorted that out doing trial and errors one by one to see what could be restored without error.

Anyways... I am now past the headaches of getting my apps back and working, my problem I am having now is that something seems to be automatically killing certain background processes such as my textfree app running as well as beautiful widgets toggles not functioning correctly which I would assume is related to the same issue. With the widgets I am trying to use my one touch wifi toggle.

What happens is it will turn on the wifi okay, but when I go to turn it off with the toggle button it says "Unfortunately, beautiful widgets has stopped." without telling me anything beyond that. With the textfree app, it works fine, however it will not notify me of new messages until I open up the app and click refresh. Any way to allow these processes to run in the background without being automatically shutdown, which I can only assume is the cause of this?

Any help with this would be much appreciated as at this point I am so over this alternate ROM/rooting bs I am tempted to go back to stock. Although I really don't want all that bloatware and would like better battery life which is the main reason I chose to root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MoritzG.:
can anybody help me on this? i have already unlocked the phone. thanks guys:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eddied042092:
Have you already checked the rom thread to see if its just an issue with the rom you flashed? Or you could check your developer option at the end of your settings menu, near the bottom there should be an option to kill the apps as soon as you leave it or to restrict backround apps.

Other then that i personally wouldnt know.

Sorry, Hopefully somebody else can help you with this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droid_funktionz:
Yea, Ive been reading around on that thread right now. I am going to post on that thread now and see if anyone else knows anything. I checked that developer option you are referring too and it doesn't seem to give me any options for allowing apps to run in the background. Thanks for the reply though.

Update: Nevermind...I cant post to the Jellybam thread. Great limitations there guys. Keep the people that need help out of the spot that they might actuallyget it... Good thinking admins! Sure this isn't the Apple forum??? :good:

EDIT: Figured out the textfree thing. Just deleted and reinstalled the app. Working fine now. Must of been something with not liking the titanium backup data. Wasn't data syncing or something. Still a no go on the beautiful widgets Wifi toggle. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Which is weird because the other toggles seem to work fine, just not the one touch wifi one. Oh well.

germany operates on a GSM network so technically you should be all set. just throw a (german) carriers sim card in your unlocked s3 once you arrive.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
Okay, at the risk of sounding like a total noob, what exactly is the diff between the "Original Android Development", and just "Android Development" forums?

I am very familiar with flashing roms, and so on, but this is something I never really asked about, nor can I find a real clear answer thru searching.

The reason I am asking is because I was looking at roms in the "Android Development" section and I was wondering what the diff between say "SynergyROM AT&T S3 | JB 4.1.1 | Multiwindow | PDroid | 1-23-13" that is in the "Android Development" section and the rom in my sig would be?

The rom from my sig is from "Original Android Development".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MoritzG.:
So 3G/hsdpa should work too if I understood you correct, right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I asked the same question when I first got my gs3.

Android development is for ported roms or roms that are not built from source. You will find mainly touchwiz roms and some variations of aosp roms. These will not be from source.

Original Android Development is for roms that are built from source. These will be aosp roms. You will not find touchwiz roms here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
Okay, so the difference depends on the origin of the rom. So I should have no problems flashing roms from "Android Development".

Thank you for the reply. =-}
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
Not really a stupid question, but here goes..Battery life since the jelly bean update on stock, unrooted devices has been abysmal at best for the ppl I know with the galaxy 3. After searching, this seems to be an on going theme for users across all carriers, not just AT&T. What have users done to counteract this updates adverse affect on battery drain?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
You shouldn't have problems flashing roms from either forum. Personally what I like is having one fully functional touchwiz rom setup that I enjoy. Then make a nandroid backup of it. Then having a fully functional aosp or aokp rom setup, and making a nandroid of that too. Right now for touchwiz I'm using dandroid which is a really nice touchwiz based rom, and tasks aokp rom for my aosp rom. I mainly stick with tasks for an every day daily driver. If I encounter anything that needs touchwiz support, I just backup, then restore the touchwiz rom. Takes maybe 10 mins max. That way I get the best of both worlds. It would be nice if the gs3 had a dual boot function where I didn't have to backup and restore, where I could just choose which os to run upon startup. Hopefully that will be something that comes along soon to the gs3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
I am having an issue with Screencast Video Recorder with most of the roms I have tried, so I may try a touchwiz rom to see if it sorts the problem I am having(I've tried everything, including disabling HW overlays).

Good idea having a rom setup for each and just using diff ones depending on what your current needs are.

Thank you for your reply. =-}

Download Mode Trouble

I have an AT&T Galaxy SIII and have finally mustered up the courage to try and root it... but I can't get into download mode. I simultaneously hold 'Vol Down' + 'Home' + 'Power' and either nothing happens or my phone turns back on. Not connected to anything via USB, and this is the first time I've tried to enter it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
I found what always worked for me is this. First power your phone completely off. Remove the battery if necessary.

Now, hold home, volume down, and power until you feel the first buzz.

At this point, I let go of the power button and continue to hold volume down and home until the download mode prompt appears.

Now you simply let go of the two buttons and press volume up.

Good luck!

I think if you hold it too long it just boots up normally. Try not holding it for so long that's happened to me before
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSchatz:
Ok, quick question everyone, does anyone here see kernel splash screens? This is the screen before the boot animation, where it just says "Galaxy SIII" on a black background (for those who don't know)

I haven't seen it on a normal boot since I flashed away from stock, but it will always appear before recovery no matter what ROM/kernel it is. When I'm booting up fully (not recovery or download mode) I only see a black screen until my boot animation starts. While this is in no way a major problem, that screen has always been reassuring to me after flashing anything and I've come to miss it. Is this normal?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
I always see the splash screen you are referring to before recovery loads. Maybe the rom you are using removes it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSchatz:
Normally I would agree, but the splash is kernel based. I also see it before recovery, just not on normal boot. Plus I've been ROM jumping for a while and none of them showed it. As I said not really a pressing issue, so thanks for the input anyway!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
You know I do a lot of rom jumping also between stock and customers so I am probably wrong and only remembering stock roms. Flashing roms is a sickness and I am so addicted I lose track. :eek:

Porting Vengeance HD to At&T???

So back with another stupid one :silly:

Anyways I pulled a stupor last nite and accidentally installed the Vengeance HD ROM for verizon on my At&t S3 phone because I didnt see on the thread that it was for Verizon only. Unfortunately their doesn't seem to be a At&t version at this time offered by the developer.

So also everything on the phone seems to be mostly functional minus i cant use my mobile data...

I was wondering about trying to follow one of the various "porting" tutorials to make it work on my phone. Any advice on this? If I screw it up do I risk the chance of a non-recoverable brick?

Also if anyone just knows of an already ported version of this ROM that would be great. Any suggestions are appreciated. I am basically trying to find a nicely modified ROM that is fairly close to my S3 stock ROM but de-bloated and with enhanced battery life. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
you can take a risk and try porting yourself or just head over to the android dev page and check out a few tweaked but stable TW roms. find a good daily driver there while you take your time researching/reading up on porting, etc. there are developers putting out some seriously rocking roms right now. take advantage of that and make the most out your phone from these already-existing works. cheers!

Task650 JB ROM 4.2.1

I recently flashed Task650 JB Rom and I noticed that I am constantly on 3G. I was running the stable CM10 rom and I always had HSPA+ coverage in my city. I did a full wipe/cleared data/factory reset/etc. when I flashed this ROM. I noticed this so I did it again and then I was still only showing 3G. My network setting is set to "LTE/GSM/WCDMA" and I have rebooted and no dice. So for comparisons sake I reflashed stable CM10 and a stock TW ROM and they both showed HSPA+ signal. I noticed that the data speeds on TASK650 ROM is a little slower compared to these two, but I assume thats because of the 3G signal. I really like the TASK650 JB ROM and I would hate to switch it out before I exhausted my options.

Any recommendations on "fixing" this issue? I live in an area that is fully covered with HSPA+, (zip 88011). I have attached a photo of the coverage map below.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I also have a Telus phone unlocked with fido. I first flashed the fido image thinking that would be my best bet. Turns out it has more bloatware than the Telus image. I also noticed other small things (can't remember off top of my head) that I did not like. So I flashed the Telus image and it worked perfectly, with less bloatware too. In the end I'm no longer using that image file as I'm running tasks aokp. But I'm a firm believer of starting with the software that is intended for the hardware. In this case it's a telus phone, I would use the Telus image.
