okay i think i understand....never has my phone disconnected during a flash with odin, ive always gotten a straight pass...exactly how important are the bootloaders anyways? if failures happen b/c of faulty usb cords, then im good...if bricking happens b/c of "unlucky chance" then id rather avoid it.... either way ill start the whole process tonight after i put the kiddos away so i can concentrate 100%.

thanks again for the tips
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marielacvn:
okay, ill take ur advice and use option c. froyo to gb using odin and possibly bootloaders, then from gb to ics, ics to jb using cwm

wish me luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Shawn:
Bootloaders prevent Rainbow fault I guess you could call it in ICS. You don't have to flash them but its recommended. If you have any problems, post and you'll get help pretty quick.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marielacvn:
so far so good, it seems i need to do the gb bootloader after all...got the rainbow screen....i have my gbbootloader file ready to go....only thing is i want to confirm where i put the file, i've searched and i can only find a procedure for heimdall not odin...do i put the md5 file in PDA or bootloaders?? also it says in heimdall to tick bootloaders, do i do the same in odin??? it also says to flash twice....?? ok im really not risking a hard brick, i'll be patient and wait

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1878458

i'll wait for your answer before i proceed....after this i'll continue to flash ics and then jb...

btw, am i supposed to flash ics twice?? that's what the [GUIDE] How To Flash JB says,

"9. Flash ICS Rom, then ICS Gapps"

but when i tried to flash ics a second time i couldn't (because of rainbow screen, and because it didn't show up in my directory....and where does ICS Gapps show up?

thanks again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
If you downloaded the bootloaders linked in the guide, then yes, they go on the pda slot. You only have to flash once.

Heimdall-one click is the one you must flash once before it allows you to flash the bootloaders too.

Edit: to fully install ics you must flash twice, because I believe that what it does when coming from GB is that it just flashes the ics kernel on the first flash, requiring you to run it a second time after rebooting for it to install the complete rom.

Ics gapps are often linked in the rom OPs, although you don't need to flash them if you are headed to JB.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Shawn:
That's odd, I flashed GB bootloaders in Odin from a rooted stock GB. But andros is right about going in the PDA slot. Maybe its just me that didn't have to flash with heimdall first.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Shawn what I meant is that heimdall one-click wont allow you to flash bootloaders the 1st time, so you must run it once and then a 2nd time but with "flash bootloaders" ticked on.

There's no need to use heimdall before flashing them with Odin.

Alright guys, I'm officially a jelly beaner!! Thanks again to all who replied and helped me out, couldn't have done it without your help :) everything seems to we working fine (with the exception of a few apps that aren't compatible, but they weren't that important ) only issue I have now is that I can't use my data plan and surf the web :( I configured everything just as I had it before according to my carrier and nothing ...... could it have something to do with the change in modem? When I scan for available network operators I get two options one says :NICMS and the other is just a number 71021... any ideas?

Also, when installing jb in the initial setup it asked which would be the defualt location to save I think I chose the sdcard instead of the emmc directory. ..can I change that setting?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Shawn:
I'm pretty sure you can change the setting, but not sure how. Also, your APNs might be messed up. There's a thread with working APNs. One sec and I'll link it.

Hi,

I lost my android mobile HTC Wildfire A3333 running CM7.2

I want to block access of my google account, facebook account, Whatsapp on the mobile from misusing.

Can anyone please help me out???
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
For the Google and Facebook accounts this is as easy as that: log into those accounts from a pc and change your passwords and delete the phone number entries.

To make sure that the account isn't already in use by someone else: check the mail accounts if you know all of these, mail forwarding and pop/imap access, filters etc. same goes for Facebook: disconnect the phone number, change password etc.

And hurry up if your phone hasn't been locked!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bittu4u4ever:
Thanks for the advice.

I have changed the passwords and blocked the SIM.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
if you had other services connected with the phone (or apps on the phone) like twitter, google plus etc. it couldn't hurt to revoke access for them, too. Noone will be able to open or hack your Facebook or Google account from them but could probably do not-so-nice things (and hijack the services' accounts of course).

Suggest me a good rom. My conditions are

1. good battery life

2. OAT updates needed for new rom versions .

3. Preferring ROM without sense

4. Preferable Jelly bean

5. Good sound quality ( beats )

6. Should be stable

7. Should remove hearing of mobile

8. Preferring htc camera app

9. good performance.

so please help me to find a rom according to my criteria.

May god bless you
[HTC One X] Baldilocks:
#4 makes #1 impossible at this point. :)

Besides, you should go through all of the different ROM threads to learn everyone's experiences.

[HTC One X] Watenaccio:
Use The CM Nightly. See tbaldens thread under Original Android Development
[HTC One X] steveoss:
Suggest looking at ARHD, is currently ICS, but already looks to be

working with early JB code and will most likely one of the first ROMs

to support JB. Can always replace the bits of sense you don't like :)
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Viper X :D

You can't wait all your 'criteria', in one ROM at the moment haha...

So one or two of your 'criteria', may have to be sacrificed.
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Gonna have to suggest the viperx Rom, may not be jb but once you have used it you will be willing to wait for the devs to switch to jb base. In the aroma installer you can desense it as much as you like, then flash a aosp mod for a more than adequate aosp feel and look
[HTC One X] raefonti887:
ViperX for OTA updates, but if you're looking for JB, I suggest you go for CM10 Nightlies.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Try them all mate, only you can decide what's best for you. We can all say try this that or the other but it's what comes down to personal taste that matters. Any of the current Sense based roms are excellent. Viper X has some fantastic tweaks that make it special. ARHD is highly popular, got a great dev behind it.

Then you have CM9/CM10/AOKP roms, they are fine for daily use bug minor bugs here and there.

Official Jelly Bean is due soon, so in the mean time start flashing and testing! Also kernels will help with battery life and such as well.

Good luck. :good:

same trouble

I had the same trouble and i came to the conclusion that it was the mute when phone is flipped over setting in the motions menu. may seem like a simple idea but its worth a shot. Hope you get your problem solved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I have that feature off.

I'm still not sure what the issue is.

I haven't made many calls after deativating the noise cancelling option.

I'll continue to monitor the situation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BJBes:
Consistently having the same problem here.:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Sprint closed out my trouble ticket, and said their Towers are working properly.

They wrote me an eTicket, and asked me to go to the Sprint store to have my S3 checked out. They said it must be a device issue, and if the S3 checks out ok, to call back and they'll open up another ticket.

I ain't wasting another 4 hours at a Sprint store between traveling to and from the store, and waiting for the S3 to be checked out.

Last time my S3 was checked out, I had to come back a 2nd time to pick up the replacement S3 due to a fault Screen Rotation. A total of 6 1/2 hrs.

I'm on my 3rd S3, and All 3 have had the problem, and I'm through wasting my time.

The issue is either:

- Faulty S3's. Not all customers are having the issue though.

- the way the S3 communicates with the Towers in certain areas.

I'll give it another 2 months, and if the issues remain, I'll get up and go. I'm not fond of the other carriers though, but I need my S3 to work 100% of the time as a Phone.

Having slow as molasses data is bad enough, while other Carriers have been way ahead of us for years.

14 years, and I've Never had these Fading Calls issues.

The problem is that you get caught up in the Never Ending Sprint Trouble Ticket Circle, either because they know what the cause of the issues are, and are not saying, or they don't know.

Believe me, either Sprint, Samsung or Both Know What the Problem is.......

With the above being said, I've noticed my calls are not Fading as Frequently the past couple of days as they have the past 2 months. But that may be due to the fact I've made very few calls. I definitely will be paying attention.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Same issues are still occurring.

Called Sprint to have my ETF waived due to consistently poor service regarding Fading calls for over 2 months.

Rep offered to connect me to account services.

AS was no help, and had quite a different attitude from years ago.

Apologized for the poor service, but the ETF stands as is because they are fulfilling the contract.

After being nice for over 2 months, and most of the 14 years, and getting the run around with the old - -

Must be the Towers

Well have the Towers checked out.

Here's your trouble ticket.

Then it goes like this:

The Towers are ok

Must be your device

Bring it to a store

Then it goes like this:

Your phone is ok

There's nothing wrong with it.

Then I call customer lack of support again:

Oh, your phone is ok?

That's what the store says, but the issues remain.

Ok, I'm sorry to hear that.

I'll open up another ticket for you......

Then the Continued same Old Non Resolution Endless Circle Continues.......

With Hours and hours and hours wasted on the phone, going to the Sprint store, going back to the Sprint store, calling customer lack of support again, and on and on and on.....

It's bad enough when Sprint Plays All their Customers (except for a few) with the BS Data or lack of Data Excuses for All these Years, and most of us Fall into the the Sprintlobotimization Mode, me included.

But that is coming to a Well Deserved End.

After almost 14 years with Sprint, I am Looking Very Forward to Leaving.

The past 2 Months have been Horrendous!!

Oh, the idiot rep had the balls to tell me they can help me to pay the $350 ETF by buying back my S3 for $149!!!!!!!

I laughed at them. You're kidding me, right??

I can sell it for more than double that.

Ok, there you go, they said. That'll help you out.

I verbally blasted the crap out of this Idiot!

I asked where I can escalate this?

They said they're it.

Where can I file a complaint?

They said the BBB

I said I'm also writing the PSC.

I asked what state to file in. State of residence or where issues are?

They said state of issues.

Anyway, see my Signature for what's next.

Good luck to everyone, but don't let Sprint Tread on you too much, and when it gets too much, just leave and save yourself Much Aggravation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Btw, just a little heads up about Verizon:

Even though I always said they had the best coverage, I always hesitated going to them because of what I thought was their extremely high and ala carte pricing structure. Meaning you have to pay for every little thing when other Carriers included them.

But after researching their plans recently, I found out that things are a little different now, and they are pretty reasonable for my needs. Here's the plan I'll be on:

Unlimited Minutes & Texts w/2GB Data - $100/mo.

Each additional 2GB Data increment is $10/mo.

For example:

If you want 4GB data total, you pay:

$100 + $10 = $120 + taxes & surcharges.

All Equipment Protection - $6.99/mo.

Includes equipment failure, loss, theft, water damage, etc.

The deductible is $99 for loss, theft, or water damage.

They have very generous discounts for employees of many different Companies.

I know what you're thinking.

Only 2GB of Data??

But if you think about it, Sprint Unlimited Data is for slow 3G right now, for most customers.

I will tell you this, and Mark my Words--

When and if Sprint's LTE gets off the ground, Unlimited Data will go Bye Bye.....

In addition, I have read that there are compatibility issues with the equipment they are using to upgrade their Towers, due to using equipment from 2 different manufacturers. This was posted on that Site that keeps up to date on the LTE build out. SEGRU4, or something like that. I posted the link to this topic a while ago. When I find it, ill repost it.

Sprint will not be able to afford to give away Unlimited Data at LTE Speeds to Tens of Millions of Customers, especially with the influx of iPhone customers.

They have to pay for the $$31 Billion dollars they laid out for the iPhone, in addition to the expenses for upgrading their network.

Remember that sprint has already matched the other Carriers regarding:

- Raising the ETF

- Discontinuing the Gold Premier program

- Increasing TEP

etc. etc.

Don't think for a moment that Sprint is going to keep offering Unlimited Data.

That will Stop in a heartbeat.

Anyway, some things to think about.

I made the mistake of renewing my contract 2 months ago, instead of just buying my S3 outright, or just switching Carriers.

As they say, it's better Late than Never.....

Hi, I'm new here & I've been searching countless hours through the forums & Google trying to find my answer but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

This is my first time I ever "root" my Android device, I've had experience in jailbreaking my iPhone in the past but nowadays even a baby can do it.

The thing is, I was following these guides here trying to flash this Jelly Bean rom:

(Apprently new guys can't post links to guides... okay..

*guide 1

*guide 2

I have a T-Mobile T999 Model so I got that nailed down.

When I boot into that recovery whatever I get a different screen than the one presented on this screen:

*picture 1

==========================================

When I'm around that step I get :

"Volume up/down to move highlight;

power button to select. (though in the tutorial it says home? wtf?)

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apple update from cache

==========================================

That's all I get, though in the tutoral it says:

"Copy the downloaded zip files from step 3 and step 4 to the internal SD card. Do not extract them."

&

"Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Scroll to the ROM file on the SD card and select it. Confirm installation by selecting Yes – Install _____.zip on the next screen. The ROM will start installing."

Though, the thing is. I don't have "Install zip from sdcard" just some big ol' robot in the background with some wierd stuff in his chest like blue wires. What happened?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] billard412:
You are still on stock recovery. You need custom recovery to flash roms. To get a custom recovery use odin. Found here-- http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421&d=1341114315

Download one of the attached recoveries and load in PDA slot of odin.

When you open ODIN, there will be 2 boxes checked. F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot. I recommend that you uncheck Auto Reboot so only F.Reset Time is checked. When the flash is complete,(green box says PASS!) your phone will not reboot by itself. From there Hold Vol-Up+Home+Power and boot straight to recovery.

Once you boot into custom recovery, flash this to root your current rom http://k0nane.info/rom/ecm/TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip.

Alternatively, you can just skip to flashing your CM10 rom (after a nandroid backup of course)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] taco7712:
Hello!

I've done this Odin portion already, I've already gotten past the Odin "PASS" & all that good stuff. The thing is, when I do Vol-Up+Home+Power I'm I'm shown only this:

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apple update from cache

I am not doing Vol-Down-Home-Power since that's just the other recovery correct?

The question is .. do I need a Sdcard to flash a rom into my galaxy s3? cause I don't have one..

Edit:

This is the recovery mode screen I'm shown when I do Volume-Up-Home-Power:

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tt c6:
I have searched the forum and online and have found conflicting reports on the specs of the Photon LTE's screen.

What is the glass made out of?

Is it Gorilla Glass? If so, what version?

I have used Zagg Invisishield on my TP1, TP2,a nd Evo Shift.

Is the Zagg worth it on the Photon LTE?

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I have the device, and there's no way to definitively "know" what the screen is made of.

Moto has a history with Corning, so it's quite likely there is Gorilla Glass here. Who knows what version - they say it is somewhat water "resistant", so perhaps that helps narrow it down?

Zagg screen covers are good. IMHO a screen cover is essential on any touch-screen based device, just for the protection of your investment. Hell I put them on my camera screens that aren't even touch-enabled.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsumner:
I just got a nice new i9300. My carrier is Hot Mobile in Israel (who BTW is mostly using towers of a company called Pelephone).

On the stock ROM that came with the phone all is Good. On the stock Israeli ROM that I installed from XDA, all is good. In fact even using any ICS ROM that I have tried all is good (wanam & Omega)

Any JB ROM I try (Omega, Wanamlite etc) gives me a lovely R to indicate that I am in roaming and I must enable roaming. To boot it seems that email doesn't really like to work (at least for the initial setup) in Roaming mode...

I know obviously that it isn't the hardware or it wouldn't work in ICS. I have tried the modem from ICS and although it has many problems (no audio) it doesn't even solve the problem so it doesn't appear to be the modem. I have checked and all the correct frequencies are enabled as well.

Does anyone have any ideas that could help? I even have the correct CSC, as wanam very kindly added it to his JB ROM (I ripped the CSCs out of the Israeli ROM). I don't seem to be the first person with this type of issue but all the searches I have done have yielded trying frequencies or different modems or blaming the hardware (non compatible which can't be the case)!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starseven:
I'm on DLI7 and also kinda "lost" my CSC for Austria and my Galaxy is most of the time also on "Roaming". (I've not yet restored my orginal CSC)

What kinda works for me: go to settings > Wirless & Network (More settings) >Mobile Networks > Network mode > WCDMA only.

Maybe you give it a try.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsumner:
Well, I did a Nandroid backup of my working 4.0.4 and went back to 4.1.1. I tried changing to WCDMA only and it made no difference I am still stuck on Roaming. So back to recover my Nandroid image it is (hey it's my first time restoring a Nandroid image so wish me luck).

Good News is I'm back up and running from my backup so it wasn't too big a waste of time to go back to 4.1.1...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsumner:
I'm really hoping somebody has an idea to help me. I really want to move up to Jelly Bean. No ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsumner:
Hopefully this can help somebody. Since I got things working.

I discovered the whole discussion about spn-conf.xml. I noticed that in the 3 different ROMs I looked at for ICS for my i9300 the file existed, and even the following line was in it:

<!-- Israel -->

<spnOverride numeric="42507" fake_home_on="42503"/> <!-- MIR @ PCL network -->

Which is exactly my case. So I added this to the JB ROM I was interested in and gave it a try. Low and behold life is good again and I am not stuck on roaming! So I am now rocking JB and we'll see how it goes!
