Update: installed Mobile Odin, downloaded and rename bin to zip.

When I open the app, and click on 'Open File...' nothing shows up with the zip file. Am i missing something here?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Above 'open file' click Update/Ota instead. Itll let you choose the zip. The choose file part is just for full fw .tar

Ok, returned phone to stock - recovery, kernel, build.prop...everything. Tried to flash update using mobile Odin....no luck. Then tried flashing thru regular recovery, started but stopped with error 7. something about build.prop.p Anyways....doesn't seem my T999V would be using this anytime soon
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] icrzymonkey:
Cool,saw that... Just doing a NANDBACKUP just in case... right now.

Oh man I'm excited for this. Is it possible for someone to extract the modem and make a CWM flashable with it so we don't have to go back to full stock?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
Same here. Hmmmm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] icrzymonkey:
Dam i was getting all happy, about it,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
You have no idea.....LOL.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] icrzymonkey:
Nope...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey guys, sorry I hasn't worked. I w ish I could troubleshoot it better for you but not having the same model makes it kinda hard to do.

Anyway for anyone who wants to try one more thing you csn download your original stock fw and use odin to flash it normally to guarantee full stock then try the ota from stock recovery. You will lose root but can try ota rootkeeper, may or may not work.

Anyway, at this point im not sure thatll even work so you may want to wait. You're call.

Im wondering if it may be a generic build thats being used to work on all 3 carriers.

I have no idea if I can find anything but ill take a close look at the ota and see if I can figure it out. Has to be later though.

Anyway, on the bright side you know its being worked on!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aklyrical:
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? HAHAH OMG thats so beautiful.. I'm going to cry;

Guys.. I skipped all over comments hopefully Red or Wildchld can make it flashable for us!

Edit: ITS VIDEOTRON so it's prolly going to be in french :l

wonder when the WIND/MOBILICTY will leak

ahhwell this should be good enuf

EDIT 2: So I've tried to do it on my WINDMOBILE.. it says installation aborted;

I went to my nandroid stock fully stock no kernel changes no nothing ..Changed the bin file to .zip and renamed "update" I think it's only for Videotron

Is there anything I'm missing?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah, nothing shouldve changed. It checks your phone and if it doesn't match what its looking for exactly itll abort the install.

So you think its videotron? I haven't had a chance to look yet. I do know in the metadata it had device =d2can. Ours it d2tmo, att is d2att, etc.

Thats why I thought it may be generic for all Canadian carriers to test....

Anyway, maybe there will be a brave soul from Vtron willing to try. Im just bummed I got you guys hopes up and it didn't work.

I dont know if Wild or Red can make anything out of this. It pattches existing ics files, so it'd be very hard to do without the correct model.

Unless they have some special trick I haven't heard of (which could always be the case). The way ive been doing mine is to patch the build, pull it and deodex it and go from there. Cant do that with this one...well, maybe....but its doubtful.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] VoRt3x6969:
OK.... but can someone can help me with this.... i have to ideal how to do

i downloaded the Bin file and renamed to ZIP and extract but i don't know how to flash with Odin and witch option to choose and witch file get etc...

is there any YouTube video or something to help me

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup! Just flash in recovery. And if you dont like it you can Odin back to stock.

To get recovery, tuurn off phone then hold vol up, home and power when you see the samsung logo release power but keep holding other two. May take a few moments.

Make sure the ota is on external sd first.!

Then choose update from ext sdcard, find the file and hit power to select it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Odin wont work for otas! Use recovery like I posted above.

And you dont extract it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] VoRt3x6969:
I can't flash in recovery im full stock and don't have the "recovery" im getting the Downloading splash screen and can't do anything

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] durvall:
How is this ROM compared to the T-MO Leaks?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You are in download mode. Most likely Either you were pressing vol down instead of up, or you didn't let go of the power button at the right time. Try it again, vol up +home+ power. It can take a few tries sometimes. I let go of power a moment after samsung logo starts coming up.

Yes. Stock recovery doesn't read internal. If you dont have an sdcard in then rename file to update.zip and copy to /cache/fota.

Then choose update.zip from cache partition or something like that in recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
No one knows yet! :o

No successfull installs reported yet...:banghead:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] VoRt3x6969:
Got it!!! thanks

You are right i was using Vol down instead

now i have to find an external Sd card loll :)

but thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] icrzymonkey:
ok I have tired everythin to install this and nothing is working.... tried ODIN mobile did not work, tried installing from CMW get signature error.

Whats missing here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You shouldn't need an sdcard. If you dont have one copy the ota zip to /cache/fota (maybe a 2nd copy at /cache just in case) and rename it to update.zip.

Then once in recovery one of your options should say something like apply update.zip from cache.

May be slightly different but itll say something like that.

Download ES file explorer if you need a file browser that can see /cache
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sluma:
did not get sucess

I attempted to update from recovery on a stock none rooted phone and this is the error that I got(I'm on WIND btw :P)

assert failed: file_getprop("system/build.prop" "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/d2w/d2can:4.0.4/IMM760/T999VVLALH2:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/dvw/d2can:4.1.1/JRO03L/T999VVALI3:user/release-keys"

Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(status 7)

It looks like this build is expecting to upgrade from android 4.0.4 with build number IMM76O.T999VVLAH2, however since I'm currently running a stock WIND build of IMM76D.T999VVLALE6 it fails. Not sure if that is a videotron phone or not. But it's definitely not a public WIND stock build of 4.0.4. At least they are including the Canadian AWS GS3 versions now :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] icrzymonkey:
I get the same error and im rooted with stock rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Nice catch! That would pretty much explain the problem.

Sorry guys but it does look like this ota is intended to patch a build that was never publicly released. We had one of those too. From what I can tell all of the T999V models have the exact same build, so unless im wrong on that you're just outta luck on this one. :(

Basically its a patch to an internal build that was never leaked.

Keep an eye on that link in the op and on sammobile.com/firmware for any new ones.

Really sorry everyone. I cant believe I didn't think about that before...:(:banghead:

Thank you sluma for pointing that out! Very much appreciate it!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
Videotron built is also IMM76D so not sure if there is a t999v running IMM76O built...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djide:
All this means is Sammy hasnt forgotten about the Canadian galaxy s3. So patience people we will definitely be getting Jelly bean.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
I was messing around and checking the files inside this zip and I compared it to the t-mobile leaks, and there are some files that are not on there which don't seem like t-mobile only.

For example this file doesn't contain "aboot.mbn" "rpm.mbn" "sbl2.mbn" "sbl3.mbn" and "tz.mbn"

Not really sure what these files do maybe they do nothing or it can be that these files are messing that we are getting errors..

Edit: I checked the t999v stock rom and it contains these files so, it means there are not t-mobile related files, so it could be that these files are not presented that are causing failed error...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The .mbn files patch other partitions in the phone. Secondary Boot Loader, Trusted Zone, etc.

There could be many reasons they aren't included with this particular ota. But they aren't the reason it doesn't work. As stated a few posts ago, this will only patch a different build than what anyone has. You have to be 100% stock on whatever build an ota is patching for it to work.

Open the joycenter click on ime and select usbjoy

Enable analog (the little A on the top left)

Connect the xbox controller

Enable joy2touch (top right)

Press search

Choose the xbox controller

Press import on the right

And select the desired profile

this morning, it took me half an hour and an open window to get a lock,

now it jus took me merely 2 min

i used non-ssl btw

did you place the gps.conf in system/etc?

try rebooting..

use google maps to test

I live at the ground level, I have more 3 levels above me, and the wall to...:)

By the way, if parabolic dishes can't have obstacles within "X" meters to have satellite signal, I'm not expecting to have it inside of an apartment :)

Just a question... Why when I go to HIDE MENU / GPS TEST and select "standalone", if I don't change the settings back to "MS_ASSIST" GPS don't find satellites???

Strange, cause during the test, in "standalone", he catch the satellites as well as in "MS-ASSIST" :confused:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] The Troll:
standalone is gps itself..

assist is *i think* a-gps..

point being, *i think* its only relevant to the test..

I think it required roots, because you must have write access to system/etc

MyTracks problems

Hey everyone, first post here and I didn't feel like making a new topic, and this thread seems the closest I could find to my issue.

Have any of you tried using Google "My Tracks" with this phone? I just received mine, and had been using my old LG Optimus Net with My Tracks to record a gps track of my runs.

With my new 4X HD, there are substantial gaps in the track (this was while testing within a car). I haven't tried tweaking the recording settings in My Tracks yet, but this issue never occurred in any of my other Android phones. My Tracks is using all default settings.

I noticed that the track never broke up when I had the screen on, it was only when the device was locked. I tested a similar applicatoin (RunKeeper) on the return trip, and it worked perfectly. Any idea what's going on here, and have any of you experienced it?

Is anyone on JellyBean willing to test My Tracks next time they go for a drive, to see if this is an issue that might be fixed in the next OS update?

Here are two screenshots showing the issue I'm having.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pierg75:
I always use endomondo and never had problem with the GPS.

2/3 years ago I remember testing many tracking apps but the most reliable always seemed to be endomondo or locus.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Insomniac535:
Thanks for the reply. Would you be willing to do a quick test of MyTracks (with the screen off) next time you're in a car? I'd like to figure out if this problem is specific to my handset or if it's a common issue with this phone.

Today I tried to install the patch by the 3 methods mentioned in the initial post, but I could not do it, even having access to root, RW permission, everything and anything.

Then experimented fourth method to install the patch (no-ssl in my case)

1 -> Download file.

2 -> Open "gps.conf" with a text editor, and copy all the text to the clipboard

3 -> Go to Folder "System/etc" create a file named "gps.conf" and long press it to edit as text, paste the text and save.

You are done!!

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Belteral:
Hi,

I've got some trouble with my GPS on my 4x HD.

I did not have many occasions to use it when I was on rom 10h, but as I recall it seemed to be working rather correctly the few times I tried it.

I upgraded recently to rom 20a and have a growing need of the GPS.

However I have great difficulties getting a stable fix.

Most of the time I cannot lock on enough satellites to get a fix.

Sometimes I do not see any setellite at all even after many minutes of standing still on an open ground.

Sometimes I get a fix but satellites signal remains very low (usually arround 15%) and I lose it after a few seconds even if I do not move.

I have tried a number of methods to improve the quality without much success.

As I had flashed the first unofficial v20a, I reverted to stock 10h and then followed the normal process to get stock v20a OTA.

I have tried a number of apps to remediate : GPS test, GPS status... I seem to be getting a faster lock when using GPS test, but I usually lose it almost as soon as I switch back to other apps.

I rooted my phone and installed agps patch (I tried both SSL and no-SSL). I definitely saw more stallites than before, but quality remains very low. Also tried LG specific, which did no good at all.

I have tried fiddling with the options of GPS test in the hidden menu, to no avail (in fact the options I choosed were never saved, I might be doing someting wrong there).

Now I am considering downgrading to v10h for good, but I would definitely prefer to stay on JB.

Do you have any other ideas, or are experiencing similar difficulties ?

Many thanks.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Newbleeto:
I'm using CM10.1 latest nightly, and also have been getting wildly inconsistent gps results.

Sometimes it won't get a fix at all, no matter how long it tries.

After using the patch, it seems a bit better, but still can take up to five minutes to get a fix.

This is getting frustrating, I'm starting to worry there is something wrong with the hardware of my phone!

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Wenque:
I have recently updated this app and uploaded a standard apk for it that can be installed as usual. See here.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] jphillip:
In my experience, the GPS is extremely sensitive to CPU availability. If I'm listening to music, and then start using Waze or Ingress, my GPS is terrible, very rarely getting any lock at all. If I open up GPS Status, it shows that there are a couple of satellites within view, but none of them strong enough to get a lock. If I turn off the music, I'll often get a lock within 5-10 seconds.

I don't know if this is normal for this phone (mine is the P880g), or if I've FUBARed it through various mods. I've just installed the gps.conf file and rebooted, and so far I'm not able to get a fix indoors (which is honestly kind of expected), but I have to wait and see if the usual performance has changed at all.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ipred:
As i am having also GPS signal problems as many other owners of 4x and have tried all the methods i have a question before i install this apk :

Do i have to revert gps.conf ( i have it replaced with the known patch ) to it's original state before i install the apk?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Belteral:
Well I think I've exhausted about every possibilities. I've rooted, unlocked, installed any possible kind of mod or custom rom (one at a time of course, since I don't want them to mess up together) and got no real result. Sometimes I get a fix, albeit never qiickly, and the next without changing any parameter I won't see anything. Trying to reduce memory usage had no effect either, even when shutting down all apps and most processes, and running only a gps test app, I got no better results.

Now I am pretty sure it's a hardware problem, as I don't remember ever having a good gps fix even when the phone was brand new and pristine. The tweaking around might have worsened things a bit (thanks jphillip BTW, I didn't know the term FUBAR, at least my colloquial English has improved thanks to this problem) but I never was on solid ground to begin with.

So I sent it back to consumer service, got myself a nexus 4 in the meantime, and miracle! That gps works perfectly, I get almost instantaneous fix in pretty much any situation, in fact I didn't even know that gps on a phone could be that efficient.

Thanks everyone for your advice.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Wenque:
No, you can start with your current gps.conf. If GPS remains so problematic you could also try turning off all data connections (mobile/wifi) before using GPS. In that case it reverts to the default, which is to download position data from the satellites themselves.

Also, after you have finally obtained a GPS lock (which can take a number of minutes using the default or be faster using assisted GPS when it works) the next time you try to obtain a lock should be much faster, provided not too much time has passed (say, half a day). This is because the position data might then still be sufficiently up-to-date. In other words, if you know it advance you'll need GPS in an hour or so it can pay off to first do the potentially long wait for the initial GPS lock so that the next lock is faster when you need it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bs360:
after 2years of testing ROMs and mods I didn't succeeded in getting a REAL working gps:

- tried many gps.conf... and I didn't see a real improvement

- tried many ROMs: I'd say that given the same gps.conf, the ROM has an influence. As already said by " jphillip", the GPS signal is really sensitive to CPU usage (which depends on the ROM and on the active apps). You can easily test it with "google maps" VS "sygic" for instance. With "goggle maps" you'd notice a more precise location (cause it's supposed to be lighter than sygic). Another test is with apps like runtastic: running with or without mp3 playback make a difference.

Since apparently some users have declared a working GPS I'd assume that all the other cases it's an HARDWARE issue.

My conclusion, in terms of workarounds, for using a "running" app are:

- just before starting, make a nice reboot of the device (this always helps a geek)

- open of any "gps status"-like app

- after having the lock open the running app

- make a breath and start using it. Important: I've noticed that at the beginning of the usage, the precision it's not that bad. After the screen-timeout occurs, I've noticed that the position start drifting. My guess is that is better to keep the screen always on

Have a nice run!
