I am going to take you up on that.

I don't think I can video chat, I don't have a Web Cam.

But I would really appreciate the help, I think it would be awesome if you gave me a walk through.

I will PM you tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h311sdr0id:
Well I got one, and you can watch what I do on it so that you can get a better visual. Today was a bad day. Its started snowing BAD and I had to climb a 120-ft tree to hook up my emergency grid antenna (and lay 160ft of line) so that I could have a backup connection for my server and still have a 30Mbps connection at the same time. My ADSL keeps bogging out because of the weather and it was really bad today. And since I live 10,000ft up a mountain in the middle of nowhere, I have to have an internet connection.

It's all done now. Its 23:09 MDT right now, and I will be up for a few more hours. So if your in the USA, just send me a text. It will be faster than trying to catch PM's and emails at an exact time.

Thanks for working on this. Real life has gotten in the way of me messing with my phone for the past several months. I haven't even had time to try out any custom ROMs. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h311sdr0id:
For sure Brother!!! I talked to miloj and them to get permissions and then changed some stuff around.

I am almost finished with the next version that will give both options so you can install SuperSU or SuperUser.

I am also working (right now actually) on an AIO that will incorporate SuperSU and SuperUser, Boot Unlocker, Recovery, and BusyBox.

If you have time and would wanna go in on this, let me know Brother.

If you factory reset do you lose your root access?

If you factory reset from your phone, you will lose root.

At least every time I do, I have to re-root. But, with this tool, is it really that bad? It doesn't take too long...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schism169:
if I am running the earlier version of this tool, would I just rerun the newer version of this tool or flash the stock and reroot?

or does it even matter if I have the latest version?

It really doesn't matter at all. I just needed to build a new base for what I am going to add later on.

JB LEAK #2 (DL'd from invisiblek's goo.im)

I just wanted everyone to know:

I downloaded the new JB Leak (#2) (COMBINATION_I535VRBLJ1_I535VZWBLJ1_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5) and I was still unable to use this exploit to root the stock ODIN flashable .tar.md5.

There are a couple of other options that I need to explore as well.

I know I am not alone on this, but I just don't know what to do to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h311sdr0id:
Did you completely read the OP and check to see which versions this tool works on?

Which stock ROM are you trying to root? And what version is it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hijqx:
I think mine is in the list.

My phone has the IMM76D.I535VRLHE running 4.0.4 ICS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
You won't be able to use this with any JB release. The debugfs method worked because of a bug in android source . it has since been patched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h311sdr0id:
Yeah... invisiblek told me that awhile ago. It sucks that JB terminated the use of it.

I have been waiting on a source :cool: and basically just been doing a lot of trial and error with similar devices and other root methods. Hopefully one of them will pay off. I have been using my other SCH-I535 to do a lot of testing on.

I have faith there will be a way. Hopefully sometime soon :)

-h311sdr0id
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hijqx:
My phone still have ICS on it, what do you mean JB terminated it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h311sdr0id:
Your fine of your still mobbin' ICS. If you upgrade to JB though, you won't be able to use this tool because JB has stopped the use of this exploit. DebugFS will no longer work on any JB or JB Leaks (you never know what could happen, but 99% sure that we are not gonna ever see if working in JB ever).

If you want root with any if the JB Leaks or JB OTAs (when they roll out), check the first few posts in Android Development (for our device) and you will see a few options.

open1your1eyes (I know I spelled it wrong, will update when I am at a computer) has a bunch of options if I remember correctly.

We will keep trying though. All I have to say is "kexec". If there is a will, there's a way and you never know what will come next.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinvam:
Unfortunately I bricked my S2 by flashing a bad zip so I sent it off to cell-dr.com. Randy, at cell-dr told me that after the JTAG repair the device will be in Download mode and that he can flash a stock ROM. However, flashing a stock ROM would overwrite some of the data I would like to recover such as text history and photos.

I can ask him to unbrick the phone and leave it in Download mode. My idea is to

Use Odin to flash CWM. By doing this I should be able to mount USB storage and have an ADB, correct?

or

Use Odin to flash Siyah and a Modem, which should hopefully allow me to boot into the already installed CM10?

What do you guys think? Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
i don't think you can recover your data back.

You definitely have to lose something here.

Personally, if I were you, I'll be happy my phone is back.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinvam:
Theoretically it should work if I use Odin to flash a kernel with CWM. Even if I can't boot into Android itself, ADB from CWM is sufficient to pull the texts db and photos. That's all I need. Then I can Odin everything and start fresh.

Any problems with this?

Hi,

I have a new phone with a MicroSIM (on a new contract) and a few months left on my old one which has 3GB data usage/mo as opposed to the 750MB or something I have on the new one, so I want to use it for tethering with my new phone, but want to sell my old phone...

Is there like a dongle you can put the SIM in, and then connect to it through wifi? It's a T-Mobile SIM

Cheers
[Networking] The Genuine:
Microsim Adapter

Hello,

Option 1: buy a 3g dongle at your simcard provider

Option 2: If you have 2 android phones you can use one

with the old sim with the 3gb data.

Install wifi hotspot.

Then you can connect your new phone to the

old phone and use the internet from that.

PS: you can also get internet on your pc that way.

---------------------------------------------------------
[Networking] LooieENG:
Hi

Thanks for the reply

I'm doing option 2 atm, but thought option 1 would be easier.

What exactly is it I need to buy? Is the device you're talking about one which takes SIM cards, and then acts as a wifi hotspot?

Thanks again
[Networking] The Genuine:
The Device is a USB stick.

You just put your sim card in it and put it in your laptop and your done.

Sorry for late response.

Does anyone know of a GB based Droid 3 rom with the option to set the keyboard backlight to always-on? Any extra personal comments on whichever roms you like best and why is also welcome.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hobox10:
I haven't found any references to keyboard lights in any of the roms still so if anyone knows first-hand I would really appreciate it. It's probably the most important feature I'm looking for for one of the Droid's I'm working with.

I am curious myself. Ever since I have had my droid 3, my keyboard light seems to come on and off at random times. It will light up when I first slide to reveal, but then it will go out in the middle of typing. Then back on. Has anyone else had this problem? I wonder if any customs roms have better keyboard light controls.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
Hi everyone,

After hours of searching / googling i've decided to ask my question here as im stuck (Im also a noob).

I received my international version GT-i9300 (XEF) which i have found to be 'French' version. Samsung Zeis amd Sammobile says the firmware is up to date PDA:LFB/PHONE:LFB/CSC:LF1 (XEF)

But i'm having the 'crackling' noise when listening to music problem. When the screen is off, i get a random crackle / static noise, which, from what i read, this problem was addressed? (something to do with a power saving feature not supplying enough power to the DAC or something like that...). Its not the end of the world, but its pretty distracting when your trying to listen to music.

Is the French firmware outdated? Has this problem already been fixed? Should i flash it with my local firmware (Australia XSA) or should i just wait for the JB update, proported to be released in October?

Thanks for any help you can give!

CS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
This is wayyy outdated man!

Hook up your S3 to your pc,launch kies and update the phone! :D

After that,poof...no more crackling noise...:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
But thats what im saying, Keis is telling me it IS updated!? Why is the french firmware (XEF) so old?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
OK so im thinking i might just flash this phone to my local country firmware, being australia (XSA i assume), but i have no idea what im doing...I read the sticky instructions on using odin to flash, it seems straight forward, but i dont know which firmware to use.

Can i use the latest firware on sammobile, or do i have to flash in order? (there are 3 firmwares, ALE6, ALF2 and BLH2 on sammobile for Australia XSA).

Also if i flash the phone, will it recieve updates as normal? I saw some guy showing how to reset the flash counter and was wondering if i'm going to mess up future updates if i flash it manually...

Sorry for the noob questions, im totally lost...wishing i had of just bought one locally :crying:

Thanks for any help!

CS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
You can flash any whole firmware (no OTA files).

If it is a normal release then you should get normal updates.

You will need to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

Buying locally would have got you updates but currently Aus roms are locking the dock icons, so be glad you don't have one of those. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
Thanks for the info Kangburra!

I'm new to Andriod flashing, this sounds a bit intense (resetting the counter / triangle away), i think maybe ill just wait for a french update, however the hell long thats going to be... :( If it wasnt for that static noise with music, i would have given this phone 10 out of 10..

CS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
Since you didn't buy it locally, you have no warranty anyway, so what exactly are you worried about resetting the flash counters for?

Whilst Odin may initially seem intimidating it is really quite simple. If you really want an aussie firmware flash the LH2 you mentioned (putting the file in the PDA section of odin). Though you might as well just flash LI5 (latest JB leak :P)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
You don't need to Triangle away, and it is only another app to install, if you are happy to follow the ODIN instructions you will be fine. :)

I agree with above, try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835931
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
Thanks for the info guys.

Im mainly concerned about getting myself into a whole bunch of sh!@ :D I agree, ODIN looks easy enough. But rooting, triangle away, etc. I can see its going to get complicated and ill be stumbling in the dark trying to work it out...Dont want to stuff up a 500 dollar phone is what im worried about...

I'd assume this french firmware will get JB at some stage, i could probably just wait for it i guess..

CS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ausboy 2011:
Just flash li5 :D pretty stable release
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
Ok another noob question...sorry about this...if i was going to flash to JB (with the link provided, thank you for that btw), do i just flash with the latest version, or do i need to flash sequentially from oldest to newest, because i noticed the OP in that thread has a bunch of older revisions in his post.

CS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
Just the latest one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ausboy 2011:
Nope flash latest using Odin
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
Alright, well, sounds pretty dam straight forward to me...I'll it a shot tonight when it finishes downloading.

Thanks for your help again!

CS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ausboy 2011:
:) no worries bud
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
So i downloaded that JB firmware and updated the phone and it exploded! Ha. Seriously, once you know what file to use, its quite easy.

Been listening to music last 10 mins approx and havent heard the original static / crackle problem i was having with the outdated french firmware. I did noticed though that it still says XEF in Kies though. Does that matter? Probably not...

EDIT: also, Kies is telling my device does not support upgrading via Kies....does this mean i have to manually upgrade my phone whenever there is an update...?

Thanks for your help everyone, i appreciate it!

CS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
You installed a rom which will only be released in a month approximately (you're on a leaked version) so of course Kies doesn't know what to do with you =)

Flashing through Odin is always the fasted method as you've seen, so I'd recommend sticking with it anyway.

(Actually Kies uses the same method to update your device, just dumbed down without any options)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromesphere:
Ah k so Keis might just start working once the firmware has been released. Only reason i keep going on about Keis is that i'm probably not going to notice updates if a program doesnt tell me. Im not around these parts much :D Would be nice to have Keis auto-update. Oh well, shouldnt have to worry for 6 months now anyway lol

If you're going from ICS to JB you should let your phone restore from Play automatically so you don't install any incompatible apps or data. Otherwise, Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox Pro are both awesome for things, RTP just does a bit more.
