[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JIW:
Noob with a stock/rooted GS3 here. This is how I did it:

1) Ran a full Titanium Backup - Precautionary step. Besides... I was due.

2) Ran Voodoo OTA to backup Root.

3) Used GS3 Toolkit (found on this forum) to help me flash stock recovery - First, make sure you download

the correct version for your specific model and carrier. If you're anything like

me then you don't do a whole lot of flashing and what not. I require some serious hand holding to

be confident that I'm not going to much up my phone. The toolkit provides very detailed instructions

and includes the necessary files so you don't have to hunt them down. Follow the instructions and you

will be fine.

4) Ran and accepted the OTA right from settings/about device/software update.

5) Ran Voodoo OTA to restore Root.

6) Used ROM Manager (from Play Store) to Reflash CMW Recovery for future use.

As far as I can tell, the only thing I broke was the Universal Search fix that I installed. But that's easy enough to remedy.

Hope it helps :)

Is there a way to get it back to normal? I'm having to research this a bit more because I'm a little confused with the status and interconnected meaning of 1) device status: modified 2) flash counter 3) triangle.

I know I don't have the triangle as I would have seen it on boot up.

Again I'm not exactly sure what the relationship and meaning is of all 3 with regards to my warranty, etc.

Thanks again!

Guessing after flashing twrp from goo.im, vol up+Vol Down+ Power Doesnt boot into recovery does it? Pls help thanks

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Ive updated and lost root. Tried uncle's method but now there is no recovery for my phone. Holding those buttons after powering off my device, gives me a quick 1/2 second view of the samsung boot up screen. And no twrp screen. What am I doing wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whelmar:
vol+, power and home. hold all buttons till you see the blue writing in the upper left corner of the phone. Let go all buttons, and recovery should launch. If it doesn't, flash via odin one of the universal recoveries. When the phone goes to reboot, pull the battery. There is a script in the system/etc folder that reflashes the stock recovery on boot...you don't want that to run. power up the phone with the 3 finger salute into recovery, flash the supersu file mentioned earlier in this thread...

after phone boots,use root explorer and navigate to system/etc/install-recovery.sh and rename the file.... use goo to reinstall twrp.

hope this helps.

I attempted this. I think I don't have the OTA file. I was reading this thread where some referenced a ZIP file you had put there of it (others mentioned renaming it to update.zip), But the only thing I found you put there was a .cfg file of the download, in yoru Dropbox. I downloaded that and renamed it to Update.zip, but I get teh following error:

E: Signature Verification Failed​

Can you put up a link to a zip of the update on this thread?

(By the way...Hello...I remember talking with you back in the Captivate days...or, was it WinMo...can't remember)

[EDIT]

Do I need to be on ALM1 before I apply this update? I am on G1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gunnyman:
All I did was rename the cfg file to update zip. I never had a signed update zip file

Hi

Can anybody tell me how to deodex the ChaCha stock rom?

i can find any guide anywhere

Regards
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
There are many ways, but I believe the easiest one is via dsixda's Android Kitchen. I remember it has an option to deodex a Rom, so find a guide for the Kitchen.

Here you go: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

But you cannot put RUU in the original folder of the kitchen, you need to extract Rom.zip from the RUU Installer and use Rom.zip for everything you are planning to do with the stock rom.

I'm having random freezes and reboots on every rom. At first I thought it was from related, but it seems like I'm the only one that ever reports them.

Ive already tried flashing other kernels, changing governors and Max/min frequencies, but the freezes and reboots persist. I've tried both sense and aosp based roms.

Does anyone think it has anything to do with me rooting with revolutionary?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you s-off?

Try reflashing your firmware.

:)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
If you are s off and you tried refreshing firmwares and if problem still persists, check battery for wiggle. If battery has any movement in its housing it CAN cause the reboots. If you find it DOES have movement, you will need to wedge a small piece of paper under the battery ledge in order to stabilize the battery. If the reboots are being caused by battery this will solve that issue. Another thing is if you are undervalued you could be under volted too much. Raise your value if that is the case. Strange thing I was getting reboots very often when I was running stock Rom. As soon as I rooted and started using custom roms the rebooting stopped.never found out what exactly caused them. I hope this helps and do hope you get your issue resolved soon. Best wishes

[HTC Sensation] ohshootrawr:
Sorry I haven't replied in a while, I wanted to see how effective the fixes were. My results:

First thing I did after reading dome suggestions was yo reflash the universal 3.33 firmware. The reboots happened just as frequently if not worse afterwards, so it probably wasn't the problem.

Second thing I did was trying to reduce the wiggle room in the battery compartment. At first, I thought the issue was resolved (about 4 hours without a reboot). However a reboot came. Then another. And more followed. I figured it probably wasn't the problem either.

Then I saw a post in the sensation q/a section about reflashing the 3.32 firmware. I tried it out and its been the best fix so far. 2 days running the firmware with only 1 reboot. The battery life seems better too.

These are just my results, I hope they're helpful.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jackpearce:
I just switched to t-mobile coming from Sprint. How does t-mobile apply discounts? I have a 15% discount. Will it apply to the whole bill or just the main plan not including add ons?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xanatos57:
My discount gets applied to the main plan before including added lines and features. Basically I get a discount on 2 lines with 1000 minutes. I pay full price for data, text, and my other lines.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jackpearce:
Thats what i though. Thats why they have my plan broken down then. I have the family unlimited plan for $99 and then a $30 per line add on for unlimited data. But they have all that rolled up into one big plan for $159. I am going to have to call them and make them change it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xanatos57:
Just as a forewarning, I'd keep at least half an eye on your phone bill. In the last 2 years T-Mobile has accidentally charged me for texting 2 or 3 times (I have their unlimited text option). If your bill for a month is a bit higher than what you'd normally expect, you might want to look into the details. Other than that, 15% off of $99 isn't bad at all over 24 months.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jackpearce:
I called to change the plan and the person I talked to assured me that the discount would apply to the whole bill. I asked for her to change it to the correct one but she said it didn't matter and gave me $20 off my next 3 months. I will take a chance this first month and see how it goes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xanatos57:
In that case keep me updated. I may need to have my discount apply to my entire plan. I'm hoping they changed how discounts work because when I first got my applied 4 years back I was told it was specifically for the main plan and any extra was on me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
It should be the entire plan but NOT tax/other charges.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wrightc88:
I noticed when I got to work today I had 4G LTE, guess it was implemented last night sometime. I went to check the weather and noticed it was unable to find my Geolocation. Checked Google maps and the same thing unable to find my location. When I got home, where I only have 4G service my Geolocation was working just fine. Has anyone had or heard of this happening before? I contacted AT&T and the tech said she heard of this happening but was unable to find an answer as she had read it online and had no access to find it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] daveschz:
Are you sure 4G LTE is actually live? It could be in testing, like it is where I'm at (Minneapolis). Until you see an announcement that it's live, you should consider it unfinished.

In Minneapolis I've started to see it over the last couple days, but data speeds are horrible (600-1200 kbps), and it's only downtown, as soon as I get out into the residential neighborhoods I lose it. So maybe wait till you're sure there's a problem before you go looking for a solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wrightc88:
Yeah its live, I'm in Pittsburgh same thing happened to me today. Soon as I hit the LTE area Google Maps and my weather app couldn't pull my location.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Birdsfan:
I had the same problem a few days ago when my area outside of Phila went live with LTE. Within several hours, maybe a day though all was working normal again.

Try restoring using one of the Sprint Ruu. If your s-off you should remain so I believe. Then you can unlock the bootloader using the HTC method and flash a new recovery.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
My N7 was flawless until some days ago.

Usually to turn on, I had to press the power button for 4s and it would turn on, never ever failed. Also on the boot sequence (the X of nexus), it took relatively low time, even when I had all of my currents apps installed (nothing changed).

For the last days, it's happening that sometimes the device doesn't wake up after pressing the button. I've checked and I have to press it for 20-25s in order to see the "Google" logo and have it start booting.

Also, the nexus "X" boot animation also randomly takes like 4x longer, and it seems to not have any relation with the 20s pressing issue, since it happened me both with the 4s and 20s pressing power-on times.

But both of those issues came together.

Anyone else with the same issue? Would a factory reset solve the problem?

Thank you in advance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] atn_chargers:
So I flashed my AT&T Note i717 to the T-Mobile boot.img. I think it was "t-mob-stock-boot.img.tar". So now my phone thinks it's the T-Mobile Note version. When I go into about phone, the model number even says SGH-T879.

Will this cause any future problems if I want to flash to an AT&T based ROMs? Will it have any problems if I flash T-Mobile based ROMs? When I flash the radio modems...will only T-mobile radios work or will AT&T radio works as well? I'm just trying to clarify everything before I do something stupid and mess up my phone. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] illest_one_7777:
This belongs in the Q and A section. As far as your inquiry

So correct me if IM wrong but from mg understanding.............

1. TMobile boot.img

So this is needed to flash any TMobile ROM the reason for this is that it makes the association to the ROM. No boot.img will cause the ROM to not boot up. So TMobile boot.img must be used for any TMobile or att roms if you are using a TMobile note. and att boot.img must be used for any tmkbile or att roms on an att variant of the phone.

2. The radio basically tells the phone what network it's connecting to. So if you flash a TMobile ROM there is a big chance you are also flashing a TMobile radio. If you are trying to use an att galaxy note with TMobile you have to find the appropriate radio in that Dec section. If you are trying to use the TMobile ROM on att network you must flash an att radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] atn_chargers:
Got it! Thanks. I have an AT&T note that I'm using on T-mobile...so for future references, there shouldn't be any interference if I decide to flash to an AT&T ROM if I flash it back with At&t's stock.img, correct? So just to double check, I can only flash to a t-mobile radio only if I'm running a T-mobile ROM? What are the side effects if I tried to flash to a T-mobile radio on a stock at&t ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] illest_one_7777:
That's about right. I don't think you can brick the device by flashing an improper radio, but don't hold me to it. I have done the opposite I have a TMobile note and have flashed TMobile radio with att roms with various success. In some occasions the ROM boots and the signal varies. It's best if you stick with att roms with att radios as opposed to TMobile roms with att radios. Results will vary by rom

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hfitzhugh:
I am relatively new to the rooting experience but am a big fan of the benefits. I only do basic stuff and am too paranoid to try flashing ROMs or anything too advanced. I recently downloaded the most recent update and it didn't go as I had anticipated.

I was taken to the reboot screen as if I was using Clockwork Mod. It asked me questions that I had to answer in order to proceed but the choices were strange. It would ask me, "do you want to install this unfamiliar zip?" and the answers would be, "No, No, No, No, No, No, Yes, No, No, No, Go Back." I picked yes for the 3 different choices and it completed the install.

After the phone rebooted there was a message saying that the update had failed. I called my brother who has an unrooted phone and checked to see that I in fact do have the update. I am wondering if this is what will happen each time I get an update and if there is anything I should be worried about. The phone is still rooted and I don't notice anything different, but I am just paranoid that rooting my phone will make it so I am unable to install the jellybean update next month. Thanks for the advice in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tbird462002:
that sounds like CWM or it might be the factory download mode but either way i dont think you should have to do that for a factory update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
So you are on stock, but rooted? Usually the rule of thumb is not not accept the OTA updates, but rather flash one of the stock, rooted roms when an update comes out. You might wnat to try something like the root66 rom, if not somehting like Synergy or CleanRom, which are still stock-based.

As far as this particular issue, as far as I knew, the OTA updates will usually always install. The problem is that they will sometimes revert back to un-rooted, and sometimes will even block the root exploit so you're stuck.

update will fail if you are using a custom recovery, i.e. cwm

I know that cwm versions 6.0+ have a new method of backing up files. After restoring an older GB rom that has an older version of cwm, I can no longer restore these new cwm backups. I'm not aware of a cwm 6.0+ existing for GB. I tried installing siyah's GB kernel, but it only had cwm 5.5. Does a cwm version 6.0+ exist for GB roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Our kernels come with cwm built into them. And since gingerbread kernels aren't being developed anymore I'd say no. Good luck, happy flashing.

I may be wrong, but as far as I am aware, CWM6 is only for JellyBean Builds. As Phalanx said, there is no V6 for GB.

CWM 6 is available on ICS. But i didn't think it existed for GB. Oh well, guess i'll have to start over.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Also, if you try to restore a cwm 6.0 backup from an earlier version of cwm, it will restore only the boot.bin, and fail on the rest of the backup. However, the phone will now have the cwm 6.0 kernel, and the next time you restore, it will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Here is what I do when I am wanting to restore back/forward from CWM5 saved nandroid to/from CWM6 saved nandroid.

RESTORING A CWM5 NANDROID:

1. If I am on CM Version with CWM6 and want to go back to a nandroid backup made while on CWM5 I flash this CWM5 based siyah kernel http://db.tt/owgZanij

2.Once I have installed the CWM5 Kernel I hold down volume+/- and power to restart recovery.

3. I choose the nandroid backup CWM5 based and restore it.

RESTORING A CWM6 NANDROID of Cyanogenmod firmware:

1. I flash this Siyah CWM6 Kernel http://db.tt/iHax4mvQ

2. Once I have installed the CWM6 Kernel I hold the Volume +/- and Power button until I am rebooted to recovery again

3.I choose the CWM6 (CM10 in my case) NANDROID BACKUP and restore

As long as I am on the correct version of CWM my nandroid backup will work properly. Even if the nandroid backup has a different kernel than the siyah kernel you just flashed. The nandroid restore will overwrite the kernel back to the correct kernel from the rom you were originally on.

I also use this method of flashing these kernels if I want to install a new rom based on Sammy builds or based on ASOP/CYANOGENMOD ROMs. So depending on which way I am flashing I prepare for it without having to flash a complete rom. Since flashing a kernel is much quicker. Just need to remember which way you are going and which kernel I want to get it done.
