I want to start creating ROM's and need a Linux based OS so I'm downloading Ubuntu 12.04. Is this OS a good one to use, or should I have downloaded an older version?

I'm a complete n00b in Android developing, so I'm currently in the process of reading FAQ's and guides on here and Google.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] LiVeRpOoL-FaN:
hi, 12.04 is relatively new and has compatability issues regards compiling (did for me), I used 11.10 for cm7/9 if you wish to compile aosp ics/jb then use 10.04.4 (lucid) 64bit this is used by android aosp team to compile, you should have no problems with it, providing the build environment is setup correctly :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ROFLkopter:
Where can I get v10 or 11 from? I've downloaded and installed 12.04 but couldn't find the others.

[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
Got the phone today and I'm considering installing a Svc7 based on leak#2 as the only system. Not a fan of GB Motoblur so I'd rather not have it take up internal memory.

I still have some reading to do but here's what I'm aiming at:

Install leak#1

Allow OTA to proceed

Root

Install scv7 leak #2 as only systen in boot menu manager

Keep an eye out for leak#2/final based ICS and CM10 roms to add as 2nd system

Can you see anything obviously bad about the process outlined?
[Motorola Atrix 2] r_scotter:
You may want to stay on leak #1 for the time being. As of right now there's no way back to GB from leak #2 if you have problems with your phone.

Sent from my MB865 running SCV7
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
This is stated in many stickies so why don't you tell me about a specific scenario that would require GB?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JDogg1329:
If you screw something up and need to FXZ back to stock, if you get into a bootloop on leak 2 you're done.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
I see your A2 is softbricked. Was it related to ICS updating and did you figure out what caused it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JDogg1329:
I was fxzing back to GB from ICS because ICS kept crashing and rebooting, the fxz ran successfully but didn't work (bootloop), which apparently is normal, but my battery is also dying so I couldn't use RSD to try again. I'm having even more problems now with my phone not recognizing that a usb cable has been plugged in but that's another story. SCV7 says leak2 in the title but it's based on leak1, basically it's all the good stuff from leak2 but the bootloader is from leak1 so you CAN fxz back from it. There are NO custom roms for Leak2(OTA) and everyone is saying to stay away from it for now, there's really no reason to install the OTA.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
Ok, I suppose I could run a leak#2 ROM as a second system for now and reconsider only when CM10 becomes boot menu compatible. Also I suppose the amount of Gingerbread left over after installing leak #1 minimal. Thanks all!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Road, please read the following thread and threads within it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897042

Because the atrix 2's bootloader is locked we rely on the fxz to get us out of binds. We only have a gingerbread fxz right now. This is why we're recommending everyone to stay on leak one.

It's just not safe to be on the official. Plus leak two has been baked into scv7.

Almost everyone has fxz'd at least once. If not more.

The choice is yours. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Try timmytim's Team Shogun ROM. Its awesome.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
I've gotten to having SCv7 as the first system. Maybe I'll test Shogun as second system when I have more time, right now I'm enjoying the AOSP-ish experience in SCv7. Smooth sailing so far. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
Very sorry for Off-Topic, but the ROM here is ICS leak #1, isn't it?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683893
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
From what I've gathered it's Leak#2 with the leak#1 bootloader(allowing for fxz to Gingerbrad)
[Motorola Atrix 2] XploitMachine:
Alright!

This is the one I needed, so that I can FXZ back to GB anytime. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
Wait! Checked the link again, it's pure leak#1! I'd recommend Shogun or SCv7 which are leak#2/official OTA-based AND will let you go back to Gingerbread if necessary.

'Dirty USSD' Hack Wipes Samsung Phones

(found much more about in german papers)

- Do you think this vulnerability affects our G3 ?

I assume, it probably is... but that it's more than unlikely to happen

- Is there a way to disable single ussd-codes?
[Galaxy 3 General] h4r5h:
Yeah, according to Gizmodo, our device is among the list of potentially compromised phones. :eek:

http://t.co/n5yDZ3dh
[Galaxy 3 General] jeyd02:
According to them the OTA update could resolve the problem....
[Galaxy 3 General] D@rekills4:
Yes.

The Samsung Galaxy 3 is very well exploitable with this vulnerability. I have tried it.

For now the best you can do is keep at extra dialer with you so it asks for an dialer open when you tap a "tel" URL.

Just make sure to not set any either one as the default.

Dylan Reeve has provided some good apps.

After getting deeper into the subject, I will prefer the TelStop app but running a big memory using dialer app in background (and won't use it).

At the end it does the same...

thanks anyway
[Galaxy 3 General] twinky444:
This code shouldn't do anything if you are on AOSP/CM7 ROM because it hasn't the SamsungServiceMode.apk

or I'm wrong?
[Galaxy 3 General] D@rekills4:
The exploit works on Cyanogen Mod 7 port by marcellusbe.

Tried it myself.

This exploit (according to Samsung) is fixed in Android 4.1.1 and a few Android 4.0.4 phones of theirs.

Also, this exploit can be triggered from stock browser and a few other.

I use Opera Mobile and it is safe against this exploit.
[Galaxy 3 General] h4r5h:
+1 to that!

And don't know about Opera Mobile, but I tested it in Opera Mini as well as the Stock CM7 Browser and found both to be vulnerable to this exploit!
[Galaxy 3 General] D@rekills4:
I just want to say that Opera Mobile will protect you against this exploit only if it is being used in an iframe.

But if the page redirects to the Tel URL then it cannot be helped.
[Galaxy 3 General] simbawimba:
one article i read said it only affected phones with touchwiz, anyone know if that's true?
[Galaxy 3 General] D@rekills4:
This can be exploited on all phones which have USSD code to wipe data and which allow the direct execution of the Tel code.
[Galaxy 3 General] mankokoma:
... NEARLY ALL devices below Android Version 4.1.1 are affected, as nearly all manufacturers are using USSD codes.

In which way they are usable to harm your phone (e.g. only popping up your IMEI-number) you have to check for each single device.

I think meanwhile a list of USSD codes for every phone is available somewhere.

[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:

not as yet. I will do a full backup of my device (including IEMI!) before I attempt that.
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Cool thanks. So am not famililar with wiping except through CWM - do you just use the Samsung wipe in settings??
[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
Dial *2767*3855# in the stock dialer, that is the quickest way.

but you will get NO warning, the phone will just begin to erase itself, so make sure you are ready!
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Yes thanks. And is that a complete format of the SD card or a wipe like the CWM wipes which keep some settings on your SD card?
[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
as far as I am aware, it wont touch the SD card
[Galaxy S III General] Kaibosh:
Great stuff Mick.. Any chance that there might be a version with just the root/cwm (after tested of course) as opposed to an entire firmware with root pre-injected..

Yeah, I'm a give an inch take a mile kind of guy :) Fantastic work in getting root happening by the way - and I'm in way trying to belittle what you've done, or the work that you've put in on doing it..

And to anyone reading who've used Mick's root - not wanting to be preachy, but remember the thanks, and equally as important, the donate button.
[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
Thanks for praise, glad it was able to help you.

This is my first ever attempt at making any sort of android rom/etc... the i9305 is my first android phone (aside from a couple of pre-paid ones I have as spares)

So I am still learning how it all works, etc.

I would definitely like to make an image just with cwm or root, rather than an entire patched firmware... I will work on that over the coming days and see what I can come up with.
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Hey just out of interest, how did you learn all of that??

Would you mind elaborating on this a little?

I had intended on doing the same thing but from my own brief research I couldn't determine which files to include in the repack or exactly where they should go.

I am assuming you have packed an su binary, but which version and from where?

I've also assumed that you used a 'nix box to pack and repack with simg2img or something similar...

I'm not lazy.. honest :) I have a newborn and its so damn hard to find the time to research or play with my new phone at the moment... heh.

oh... and is it yaffs or ext4?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
I used an ubuntu VM to create the image, and then odin on windows to flash it. However you could use heimdall on linux too.

the system.img file is EXT4.

you need the su binary and a root manager like supersu

su goes in /system/xbin

root manager in /system/app

mkext4 and simg2img to extract/repack the image

[Galaxy S III General] T-01A:
Quick question...before and or after the root is it possible to use a 3G sim card in this phone? I am using docomo and due to there being very poor 4G coverage where I live at the moment I don't want to upgrade and pay the expensive 4G plans fees when I can't even really use 4G. But since I am a heavy user and always looking for the phone with the highest specs, I REALLY WANT THIS ONE! I know it will come out in Titanium Grey which is the one I really want....any idea when and where this color will come out with these specs (GT-i9305)?:confused:

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] sinpapa:
In your case you would purchase a device that suits your coverage locations. No point buying 4G when there's no coverage. 3G/4G sim cards are the same. 4G is activated from a network point of view ie: product plan code which enables 4G/LTE coverage.

If you do buy the 4G device, your data will only access 3G....
[Galaxy S III General] T-01A:
Thanks for the reply.

From my understanding there are some 4G devices that will not accept a 3G sim card due to hardware and or software. (ex.micro sim etc)

Yes I do understand that purchasing a 4G device when only having 3G might seem stupid to some, but as I said in my previous post, I am a power hungry consumer and the GT-i9305 compared to the i9300 is boosting a faster CPU and an extra gig of RAM which is something I want!

Besides that, docomo expects to have 4G coverage in my area within the end of the year to the beginning of next year. So I just wanted to make sure that the GT-i9305 will have no problems accepting my docomo 3G sim card and work on the network itself until the 4G network is up and running. Which then I will have to get an LTE plan and new LTE sim card from docomo.
[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
I have the I9305 with a micro from optus and there is no 4G coverage in brisbane as yet. I get HSDPA+ (3G) no dramas and when the 4G goes live, or I go to a city with 4G i will get LTE reception
[Galaxy S III General] jinda_pir:
Before i bought the phone i checked the optus coverage map and my suburb wasnt in the map. But i had a feelings i can probably get half 4g strength coverage since im not far away from the border and im actually gettin 3 bar of 4g in my place :D
[Galaxy S III General] snuffy22:
Hi Mick,

Nice work on the root!, the community appreciates it! :good:

Are you planning any other modifications? could i perhaps suggest you attempt to include the missing FM receiver firmware stuff that is included in the i9300, apparently our i9305's have the actual receiver built in but not the firmware components to use it.

has anyone else noticed that we cant change out the icons in the dock on the i9305 (4.1) but i9300 (4.0.4) users can... i don't understand why Samsung took that functionality away from the touchwiz interface in their jellybean release... i really want to swap out my browser button for chrome damn it :)
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Optus and Samsung has done a STUPID thing with this firmware,And I think T-Mobile/Germany as these 2 carriers use same base firmwhere well There is No FM radio in it, But the I9305 Does have FM capabilities If you ask me I would get the I9305 Off Mobicity They come in white and blue and these Do have the FM radio and are unlocked and will work with telstra and optus 4G

And If you are an optus customer Why arent you complaining regarding the FM radio as I called optus and they actually said it does have FM radio so I made them go and double check and yes they did confirm this again. I would be calling them and complaining so atleast someone higher might get on to this and sort it out, if no one calls and leaves it to developers then Optus wont bother as they think people dont care if it doesnt have an FM radio, I mean its a simple and usefull thing why in the hell would you take it out?
[Galaxy S III General] snuffy22:
heh, i actually work for optus (totally unrelated department, fixed networks side), will see if i can find the relevant people and politely pose this question to them and see if they are planning to bring it back, as i really miss the FM radio
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Great haha Yeh i am sure there specs say radio As I called and i made them even go to techncal support crew and confirm it and yes they said the I9305 has FM radio.. Well Let them know that people are talking all over the forums about this and some are even selling there phone :P Might make them take it seriously. Nah but for real i seen people on gum tree selling it the first day they got it you never know lol A simple utility like this is useful and people like listening on the way to work. Can you try and download Spirit FM and see if this 3rd party app works in the mean time? I will NOT buy it off optus because of this, I am getting the import version which I have seen in on youtube and I seen the FM radio app in the app drawer which means the import version EXCEPT T-Mobile has it.
[Galaxy S III General] snuffy22:
no go with the spirit fm, pops up an error advising no fm accessible

full error message:

Error: No FM Accessible

SU: 1 FM:BC2 Su:0 Bt:1 Ht:0 Mo:BCU

call me crazy but i cant even find the S3 (normal or 4g) on the optus website anymore.....
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Hey anyone know a way to remove the Optus boot animation and shut down?
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
reason it says that is because of firmware i was just speaking to a guy in uk which bought his unlocked white version I9305 and FM radio works perfect

maybe they took them off the site but if you call optus tommorow and ask them if i9305 has fm radio they will say yes then say well mine doesnt and complain abit... unfortunately you might be out of luck as there firmware was probably meant to have no FM for some stupid reason I dont understand. Maybe when more different firmware becomes available on Sammobile you may be able to flash it and get it working. Cause once I flashed a custom Rom and the FM radio was not working soon as I flashed it back it was working perfect, just an example showing that rom can trigger the fault it definitley is a Rom Problem not the hardware
