Never download OTA updates if you are rooted, especially unlocked. There will be an OTA update that is safe for us to use here on the forums. Too many benefits to list. Overclocking, better battery life, get rid of bloatware that slows the phone down, full control of how the phone works and looks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
I guarantee jb will be released here long before verizon does it. In fact check out the progress in the tmobile port thread in development. It's only been leaked for two days. I predict a beta build by Monday at this rate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Yeah like the others said, wait it out. Allot of great devs around here will have JB ready to go and much better than stock.

Its moving crazy fast over there Incubus is busting his tale on this and it looks like its almost there. There is data and sms/mms is working for a lot of people. They are on Alpha 4. Incubus said when it goes beta sms/mms will be working! This could be today! They were on Alpha 2 this morning. I'm going to give it a run tomorrow and see how its doing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Wow that's incredible. Just saw that lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josbor11:
just checked out that rom looks nasty gonna wait til it's fully functional though. If I flash that will I have to reinstall all my apps and reset everything up on my phone though?

say I just wait for the OTA official JB update, does it work the same way or will my apps and homescreen setups remain?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Since a clean install is highly recommended then yes you will have to resetup everything. But you can backup using titanium and restore your apps :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noobabuser:
TiBu will backup your apps and all their data along with call logs and sms/mms as well. What you're looking at losing is the shortcuts and widgets on your homescreen(s) since you'll be moving to a new launcher (unless the new ROM has the same version of TouchWiz???). I found it useful to take screenshots of my home screens and send them to dropbox so I can place the new shortcuts exactly where the old ones had been. It takes me about a half an hour to do it. Which is a lot better than the two hours it took to download all my apps and set up a virgin S3.

My P6810 had when I bought him from a guy P6800 firmware. Odin would not let me write P6810 firmware. I think because odin see my device as P6800.

Hi and expect anybody could help me. I recently updated my GT-I9100 by Kies to Android 4.0.3, but that was not working fine. I wipe de cache and reset to factory, but my problem was the same:

I can't lock the phone by any means, is not wotking PIN, Patron, Face, even the slide, I can config but doesn't works. And one thing more, If I push the power button by one sec to show the Options menu (where you sould activate silence mode, plane mode, restart, activate data or power off the phone), the phone is turn off inmediatelly.

I back by a ROM to Android 2.3.4 and works fine, the I installed another ROMs (even one to 4.0.4) and the previos problem is allways the same.

What can I do?, Some body could help me?.:good:

I've had a lots of phones in the short year and half with Verizon and I can honestly say the Maxx has really got a spell on me. I love this phone.

It's battery last me over 4 hours on LTE which is something my old Nexus could never do even with the a 3500ma battery. The speaker is loud, and the camera is great especially video.

This is the only non vanilla ui which I actually like. It may not be stock but it's only lightly skinned. I don't even feel a need to root the phone.

I just wanted to put that out there.

I just got a plain RAZR as a replacement phone after 3 Galaxy Nexus. I haven't sent back the Nexus yet but think I will stay with the RAZR. It is a nice piece of hardware and the radio is definitely better. Now all I have to do is get past the development side and I will be all set. :rolleyes:

Over and over again. This is Android. Everyone is using and making better other's work. The Bill is using Jokersax's work, Jokersax is using CyanogenMod's, Faux's, Motorola and other's work and CyanogenMod is using Google's work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
I was running the new Jellybean ROM just fine but decided to revert back to the AOKP ICS ROM. I did a backup of my JB rom in CWM and then did a restore of the backup from the AOKP ROM. But I forget to do a factory wipe. The ROM booted up fine the first time and then after a reboot it was just endlessly running the boot animation.

I could only boot into download mode so I tried to use PC Odin to flash a ROM I had but the program gets stuck at factoryfs.img. Please can anyone offer assitance?!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You don't have to do a wipe when restoring a nandroid backup on our phones, since it overwrites the entire data partition anyway. I'm wondering if ClockworkMod versions could be at the root of this. You didn't say which JB you were using, and I am not up on AOKP, but did the JB rom have CWM 6.0.1.1? and AOKP have the 5.x version? I think these are supposed to be backward compatible, but I'm wondering if restoring a 5.x backup with the 6.0.1.1 version could be at fault here. Just clutching at straws for a reason.

As far as recovering, go to the Download Repository, and first try flashing the complete firmware package with bootloaders. If that doesn't work, then try flashing the critical parts individually, i.e. secondary bootloader and param.lfs. If that doesn't work, there is a pit file there also, so you can flash the stock package with repartition. I assume you understand the risks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
I was using the SuperNexus JB rom. They did have different cwm versions but not sure which they were. Luckily I found an md5 file that would load 100% using pc Odin. Any tar file I tried to use first wouldn't load. Then I was successfully able to use the gingerbread stock with root tar listed in the unbrick section and then install a kernel with cwm to do the restore again. So I'm back to the AOKP. Only took 5 hours to fix this time. Ugh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] benjamingdelacruz:
Mind posting that file? It might come in handy.

I found the file on this site: http://www.droidreader.com/2012/05/how-to-un-brick-or-fix-soft-bricked.html

It's the Recovery Package for ICS that I used: http://hotfile.com/dl/146748985/809318f/I9100XXLPH.zip.html

The zip contains an md5 file which PC Odin was successfully able to load entirely. I suppose the md5 fixed something that was screwed up which prevented the tar files from completely loading.

Then I was able to successfully flash the kernel + rooted UCKH7 system package found here. Next I flashed a gingerbread Siyah kernal found here in order to gain access to CWM and restore my previous backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
thats all i9100 stuff. Please dont confuse the masses posting that crap here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
Well that crap helped unsoft brick my phone. I only had to use the md5 file in order to get the correct TAR files to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Which .tar.md5 file did you use? And which proceedures in the tutorial did you follow?

I'm surprised you were able to enter download mode to complete this step, since the I9100 package you used previously contained bootloaders. The secondary bootloader for the I9100 would change the button configuration for entering download mode and recovery mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
I tried using files:

I777UCKH7 OCD With Root.exe

UCKH7_stock_root.tar

uckk6_stock_rooted.tar

ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar

I9100_CODE_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

None of the tar files would complete. The md5 was located in the zip that I downloaded from the previously mentioned site. The file did load a ROM whose hard button configuration didn't match my phone model. Only the menu and home buttons worked and home was actually back. But I didn't have to do anything in the ROM. Download mode was still VOL Down + Power button.

After loading the md5 file I was able to use the exe but when the ROM loaded I wasn't able to get past the setup wizard. I would click on the android in the middle and either it wouldn't respond or different processes kept force closing. I remember one was a google framework process and there were like 2 others that popped up.

Everytime one of the other files failed I had to redo the md5 because the tars would get stuck again. So after several attempts I finally was able to use the UCKH7_stock_root.tar file to move forward with restoring my soft bricked phone.

Maybe someone can list the md5 file of the UCKH7_stock_root.tar incase PC Odin gets stuck like this for someone else? Though I'm no expert so I can't be sure if the tar vs md5 was what fixed the issue. I just know that file helped even if it wasn't the right one for my phone and, to my knowledge, caused no other issues once I used the correct tar files. I'm happily running the new AOKP JB ROM with no issues thus far.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertHarvey:
I foolishly took my new S3 for a swim the other day, and now I seem to have a phone that will not connect to the network anymore.

Events so far:-

1. Took phone for 90min swim while turned on

2. Stripped, cleaned and dried phone

3. Phone seems to work in all respects but will not connect to network

4. IMEI is still there, SIM card reads data. Connect to network says connected, but when I try to make call says not connected

5. Left phone off without battery in overnight

6. Now have null IMEI and will not read SIM

So after searching the web and these forums I have tried

1. Rooting Phone

2. GSII Repair

3. Blowing stock ROM in over the stock Orange one already there (This phone had never been changed from the factory settings until swimming trip)

Still to no avail. I do have the IMEI written down, but I do not have an EFS backup.

Is there anyway I can recreate the EFS partition with my IMEI, or is this phone now a pretty ornament as far as GSM connectivity goes?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xssjaakie:
The best thing you can do is, disassemble it for as much as possible (if that can be done without damaging it)..

then clean the PCB with pure Alcohol, that way you rinse off all the dirt/minerals etc that will cause corrotion soon otherwise.

I'm not sure if this is solely a software problem, if there is dirt in ur phone shortening stuff (like anything of the radio)

you can get weird problems, i had this with a tiny bit of dust one day in a old phone. Therefor i think its a hware problem

I would wash it in alcohol anyway, after taking off the screen, and for the rest as much as possible.. then dry it for 8hrs +/- (alcohol vaporates easily). After that , see if you still have software problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertHarvey:
Thanks I think it's as clean as it can be. No sign of any physical damage. Stripped right down to seperate pluggable components. It is either an electrical problem now or NV data being lost I think.

Hello everyone!

Here is the official CM10 boot animation that many of us have been waiting for! I've tested it and it works beautifully on the Infuse.

Instructions:

1. Download to your phone's SD card

2. Flash in recovery

3. Allow the device to reboot itself. It will reboot back into recovery (this is normal)

4. Reboot manually from recovery. The Samsung and CyanogenMod boot logos may seem to appear longer than usual. This is normal when you change the boot animation and adds only a couple of extra seconds. Please be patient.

5. Behold the glory of the official CM10 boot animation

Please note: I take no responsibility for the work done on this animation. I'm just simply passing it down to the Infuse community. All credit goes to the CyanogenMod team and Cameron Behzadpour. This is the 480x800 version that is compatible with our device.

I thought that was just me. Thanks for also confirming this. I'll add it to the OP. I was experiencing the same thing with the nexus boot animation.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
Is it possible to just put the boot ani in with a root explorer or does it have to be flashed?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
You should be able to but I haven't tested it. Make sure you download the zip. Extract bootanimation.zip from /system/media/. Copy the file then mount /system as writable. Finally go to /data/local and paste. (Can anyone confirm this? I haven't done it in a long time)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
The boot animation zip on my phone is in system/media. The reason I ask is because the cm9 one is like 200 JPEG split between the 2 folders an the new cm10 one is like 100. I was nervous something might look for those other files.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
Ah this was useful "In ALL versions of Android since version 2.0, the use of /data/local is recommended as it is the first place the OS looks for the animation. If it cannot find one there, it defaults to /system/media. /data/local has at least 2 advantages: 1) the file size is not as limited as s/m allowing for larger animations or larger image sizes in them & 2) if you put it there and it is a bad download or any other reason it may boot loop, it is easier to remove from /data/local with a simple adb line and your device defaults back to the default one in /system/media."

I like it also but is there a way to add a Flashing 10 in the Center for the CM 10

[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
There is definitely a way to add a flashing 10. I have a lot of work to do now that I'm back at school, but you can find custom numbers and use Paint.NET as a substitute for Photoshop, and it's free.

http://www.getpaint.net/

Secondly make sure you have Boot Animation factory.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678540

This process is not as hard as it seems. Download the zip in the OP and extract it. In the extracted folder, you'll navigate to system>media>bootanimation where you'll find yet ANOTHER zip. Extract that and inside is the magic of the boot animation. About 100 different pictures in two folders that make up the boot animation. Edit each one to your liking in Paint.NET and add whatever effects you want. Repackage the boot animation zip file with the program of your choice, then repackage the WHOLE thing so that it can be flashed within recovery.

Use Boot Animation factory to preview your new boot animation and make it usable on your phone. It's just a tedious process. When editing the images, just make sure that you don't change the size of the image on accident. :cool:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ixijimixi:
Thanks for sharing. It worked just as explained

It's a nice change until I find a good Fallout startup to go with my phone's theme...or until I get bored with the whole HEY! Shiny object!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
Kudos for having the patience! I'm glad it turned out for you. If you want to really get adventurous you can make your boot animation completely custom with that method. Maybe you can start making a glowing Fallout logo boot animation for multiple devices and post. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ixijimixi:
Hmm...good idea. I made up a quick & dirty Aperture Laboratories (from Portal) startup screen a while back, so I know I can pull off at least SOMETHING...assuming I can stick with a ROM for more than a day :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
This is what I do for bootanimations, j use gimp (free...but you can use,any software...paint-lol, or just any image) to get the basic single image made at,480x800

Then I get a video editor...I use one on linux called lives (free)

I create a clip using the picture...usually picking 100-150 frames...at 25fps that's 4-6 seconds

I then mess around with the video effects...add swirls, spins, color changes, zooming in/out...etc

When done all the images are kept ins folder so I take that folder and copy it to windows...I boot into windows and use bootanimation factory to turn it into a proper bootanimation zip (can never get it when I do it myself)

If you can't locate the folder the images are saved you can save it into a video...you can then use software to extract the frames...anyways that's just a quick way to make boot animations instead of manually changing each image...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
A video editor is a great idea. I might have to boot up the old Linux box and try that program. I figured there was something out there to extract the frames. Thanks for the tip mg :)
