[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Start with an RUU. Run the RUU on your PC. Stop at the first screen after it's done loading, don't proceed, but don't close the window. Start/Run and type %TEMP% and hit enter (this will take you to your user temp folder). Sort the folders by date and open the newest. Here you should find Rom.zip. Use this as your base ROM in the kitchen. Root it, deodex it (or not), zipalign it, etc - and you end up with a flashable ROM from an RUU

I saw this on the xda homepage and it's pretty awesome. I love the lockscreen shortcuts on sense, but I remove almost all the widgets and random stuff you don't need and use Apex launcher, but if you remove the stock launcher the lockscreen doesn't work the same. So this guy figured out how to keep the shortcuts, change them whenever you want, and remove Rosie!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SensationNation:
I am a super-noob coming from an un-rooted HTC Sensation and I have an S2 coming in the mail that should be rooted within the night I get it. One of the things I hear a lot is the importance of wiping before you flash. What data do you lose from each type of wipe? For instance, if I were to wipe /dalvik, would I lose app data, and /cache lose something else? Also, how do you get yourself out of a SOD?

Thank you. I look forward to the flashaholic world.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Any cache wipe doesn't wipe any data from apps... You should probably look up "cache" for a general understanding of what it is.

Wiping data/ factory restore, will..well...wipe all user data meaning bringing it back to factory. Your sd cards (int/ext) doesn't get touched unless you choose to wipe then. Emmc is your internal btw
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NextGenROM:
Wipes get rid of all data! DOES NOT REMOVE ANYTHING ON SDCARD!!! It also Wipes the cache partition.
[HTC EVO 3D] charleskim:
So I've looked everywhere for help on my cracked lens cover, but any search query that I do leads me to the results with to the EVO 4G...

Anyways, does anyone know how I can remove the cover?

I purchased the repair piece on Ebay, it's listed as the "New Replacement Back Camera Back Cover Lens For HTC EVO 3D G17"

I have a crack going straight through mine, and HTC told me they will charge over $100 to fix it...
[HTC EVO 3D] marcy73:
I replaced the whole back chassis and followed the steps from the guide on repairsuniverse. Just google "repairsuniverse", then go to /htc-evo-3d-take-apart-repair-guide.html (forum won't allow me to post urls).

It worked like a charm. The only step missing in the clip is that you have to transfer the bluetooth chip that is mounted on the chassis.

Hope it helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] charleskim:
Thank you so much! I appreciate the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spikeguy4:
Ok so I have a few questions if you guys would allow me to pick your brains. :D

I have installed cm9.1 on the galaxy s2 (SGH-T989) using clock work recovery. The phone is rooted using superSU. Pretty standard as far as it goes here. However:


1) I have no wifi calling option and its running android 4.0.4 (ICS). Is this normal for this rom or do I need a different kernal or modem/radio to make this work? Because stock has this feature and its really important to keep message/calling costs down and get service in dead zones.


2) I cannot get 4G data. Only "H" and 3G. I got Edge/2G/3G/4G with stock. Is this normal or do I need to do something else to get this to work?

3) What are good custom kernals to use for this phone because I looked on the sticky and there are only three listed and some are discontinued. Also what are the major advantages of a custom kernal over samsungs stock? I.E. What does it add/modify?

4) Do custom radios change signals your phone can pick up? What exactly does changing the radio do?

THANKS!

~NEW!~

1)Since no wifi calling is a deal breaker for me I'm going to try a new rom, so! I'm looking at darkside and akop. Any opinions on these roms or experiences you guys have had with these good or bad?

2) CWM vs TWRP ~ GO!

Just trying to get better informed. Thanks everyone! :highfive:

Also if there are guides I missed that explain these things I'm sorry just link me to them if you would be so kind. :) Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Z-Man™:
No wifi calling on cm9 bro and h is hspa aka 4g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
This and stick with stock kernels for now. Different radios work better in different areas, so just try until you find the best one for you.

Good questions for any n00bs out there. But Damn lol @#2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spikeguy4:
Haha yea after I got the answer I felt dumb I just never saw the little icon use "H" to explain a radio type and didn't think about that related to 4G as standing for hspa. Also I learned hspa exists using WCDMA. Cool. :victory:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NextGenROM:
The "H" means HSPA+ which is 4g.

Only Touchwiz ROMs have Wifi Calling (CM9 is AOSP Based)

The best kernel to use is the Darkside Venom Kernel for CM9 AOSP http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775075

As far as radios go they can change the amount of signal. Certain radios make signal better in different areas. I PREFER THE GALAXY NOTE RADIO FOR Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)

HOPE THIS HELPED!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Darkside, only tw roms have wifi calling, aosp roms like cm9,10 and aokp dont.

Is there a kernal i can flash with the stock rom that would give me iptables/netfilter?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
I No longer support this thread due to the lack of time I have lately. This video will show you how to get up and running on P+ with 1x data only.

This wil work for the Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular variant.

Yes I can get 3G but, the method is not allowed on this forum.

Please don't PM me asking how to get 3G as I will not reply.

Wow awesome Nevell. Thanks so much for this.

A few questions.

How different would it be to flash Straight Talk?

After flashing can I load ROMS like CyanogenMod and such without issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
On the Sprint one yes but not on the VZW one. As far as flashing to ST you would need a donor phone. I won't go into details but that should be a start for you.

Why not just trade your VZW GS3 for a Sprint GS3 on your local Craigslist?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ranchosteve:
I do have the sprint one, but I wanted the GSM capabilities of the Verizon one cause I travel over seas.

Not true if your doing an esn you need the code for both of them. But for anything else then you only need the code for the Sprint one.

The Sprint password will not work for the verizon model. That is a Sprint generic 16 digit Samsung password. I can guarantee you if he is getting a request for a password he is on modem LG7.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MajorCinema:
So mad that it was this simple

Ok after a lot of poking around yesterday i found somethings out.

1st- the reason people was getting kicked off of verizon was because they would return the phone back to walmart or where ever. The phone have a meta scan on it where verizon know if it has been purchased or not.

Keep your donor and dont do the stupid crap of returning it to the store.

By the way, this type of stuff makes it hard on us later on.

2nd- i appreciate the help of the obvious talk and text method but 3g is not that hard to get. I have spent a lot of money and time to be lead in the wrong direction by some people who come on xda and get free info then turn around and charge your fellow researchers and info diggers for the service. Looking back through this thread and pm's comments from people who have done it successfully, has been misleading and patronizing. These are the same people thats going to juice you of info.

Not going to call any names out, but you know who are and im sure of it!!!

Thanks anyway.

Majorcinema out!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Lol well that was um insightful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
Ok so my update on my 3g quest for sprint s3 to Verizon prepaid:

So far I tried

Setting only 2 profiles both active with all the donor info.

Downgraded radio/Baseband from LG8 to LG2.

---after downgrading I was able to use QPST efs explorer and view/manage files, which I couldn't with LG8. But it still timed out when trying to read the phone in service programming. Just a note.

Still no 3g. Stuck at 1x still.

Any other ideas guys?

I'm sooo jealous of you 3g having folks lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skarloey28:
Set the phone to CDMA Only, use a EVDO Hybrid PRL and use correct passwords.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
thanks skarloey,

do you have suggestions on which PRL number? or if you could attach one?

btw this may be a noob question...

does PRL matter from location to location?

since i've been getting data at 1x speeds when i have my mobile data radio turned on its been killing my battery really fast. more so than when i leave my wifi radio on.

i wonder if this is a PRL issue? i'm located in los angeles county. or does it matter? i thought PRL's was a list of nation wide towers to connect to?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MajorCinema:
Mj bald after this. Lol.

Whats messed up is, i got 3g working but now talk and text not working. In about/status everything is connected in look normal but when i try to dial out i get "there was an error in processing your CALL" message.

Im going to be MICHEAL JORDAN bald by the time im done with this. Lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
you know i'm pretty new at this, but u might want to give this a shot. when i tried copying exactly everything over from my fassy to sprint s3 i couldnt get calls and text to work. the MIN got changed, and i was getting the same message. have you tried messing with your min for nam1 and nam2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MajorCinema:
Thanks zen!!!

i was thinking that but i have tried some of everything.

In cdma ws/nam2 do it have a problem with writing dir_number?

Mine say bad perimeter
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
yes on my sprint phone, it wont let me write to both of those fields (with any software). but my fassy has those fields.

on my fassy i get some weird number for the 2 MIN numbers on nam1 and nam2. like 0000004xxxx or something.

when i use those numbers on the sprint s3 my 1x goes out. and my phone goes out sometimes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pcwireless:
Most likely because you activated and ota both the vzw prepaid donor phone and your 3G phone, or imsi is different from donor and s3. You'll have to use a different donor and activate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skarloey28:
PRL location does matter but many should be fine through out the country.

Don't say I never gave you anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
Just out of curiosity...

Do nv items and CAVE settings have any role in 3g authentication? Will tweaking these settings make a difference?

I can't write any cave keys to my sprint s3 with any software. And what do nv items do anyways?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pltctytc:
can't get it activated

brand new verizon s3 never activated

flashed to ppc per video with cdma ws(have done maxx prior no problems)

esn change done prl 52775 etc

BUT

verizon's OTA auto activator never finishes programming

always cuts off after a few seconds and then redials and cuts off ...repeats

any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Your not supposed to dial an ota number
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pcwireless:
Yes, you are correct.

Yes, thanks, that worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pltctytc:
i don't dial anything it does it on its own

its a pain cause it locks me out of the phone while it tries activating. unless i put it in airplane mode and dial the service menu #.

when it doesn't activate it claims no sim or doesn't recognize it then redials
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skarloey28:
So use a previously activated VZW SIM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pltctytc:
i did. the one from my razr maxx

i should have the maxx back this morning and the sgs3 goes in the trash
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Or you can send it to me as a donation device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pltctytc:
lol thats a good one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skarloey28:
This has to be one of the easiest phones to flash. It's a Samsung with a Qualcomm chipset... doesn't get any easier. There seems to be a lot of girl scouts on here crying that they can't do it. That isn't a very good attitude to have. We can not possibly hold everyone's hand through the process. Nevell provided a VIDEO TUTORIAL! What more could you want? If you can not figure it out maybe it's time to take it to a professional. :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Most people's problem here is that they are trying to flash it to Verizon Prepaid. Which in essence is the same but, requires some additional steps to get everything working. Now I don't have any Big Red GS3's atm but if I did I would make a video on how to flash it to VZW PP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangboycic:
I think a lot of people have it basic flashed, the problem I'm fighting with is trying to get full 3G up and runnig, I just can't get those darn HA/AAA keys to stay written! once I get that I'll be happy :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skarloey28:
I have a Sprint model and VZW model on VZW Prepay. My point is you need to have knowledge of this before you just jump into it. You have to understand how the phone works and how the towers authenticate the phone. As much as everyone likes forums for the use of sharing knowledge and helping each other, without these concepts you will be doing more harm than good. If it makes you 3G seekers out there feel any better Verizon just announced yesterday they will only have 1X and 3G till 2021. They claim by then there LTE network will far exceed their current 3G.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Whoa there! Now I provided the method of flashing it to PP. Some of you tried to adapt this method to VZW PP without any prior knowledge of flashing anything or flashing to VZW PP at least. Now as far as with holding information. Some of the steps to flash to some companies are just not allowed on this forum. Grant it if I had any more VZW GS3's I would make a video on how to get everything working on VZW PP minus the parts that aren't allowed on this forum of course. But, there is no need to FLAME!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skarloey28:
I wasn't always a great woman scout but I also didn't start off trying to flash LTE phones. I flashed 3G phones first and worked up to more difficult phones like the Thunderbolt, Rezound, Incredible LTE, Samsung S3. Verizon LTE phones are the most difficult phones to flash.

I also did not learn about phones from forums, guides or tutorials.

This is not hard. Set phone to NV, Write your PRL, Write MIN and MDN, write HDR/PPP Usernames and Passwords, write profile NAI and Teth NAI and HA/AAA Passwords. If you want me to do it for you download teamviewer and I will gladly do it for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangboycic:
It's set to NV and acts like it writes my keys correctly, but upon reading the data the HA/AAA keys come up empty, am I really the only one having this problem?

The Sprint model will not show the passwords after they have been written but they have indeed been written. The passwords are not your problem if you have indeed written the correct passwords.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangboycic:
Just verified that I've written the correct passwords, Of course the phone shows 3G, but on a speedtest I'm only seeing 128kbps down, I should be getting 1500kbps. Also noticed that the MIP profiles aren't even saving my Mobile IP behavior as simple, it keeps reverting to MOB+Simple

Yes, Running 3.8.7, just downgraded the modem to LF9 to see if that would work, still no luck, I'm unlocking with the password provided in Nevell's guide, and using the correct MSL when reading the phone, I have to be missing something if no one else is having this problem
