AND SRRy for my bad eng
[Android] Shawn:
The device has to have a 3.x version of the firmware available for it. Look for your devices forum and then find an update it. Or, look in your settings for the update section and check for an OTA update.

[Android] vinhod:
In the update system says that its curentlly up to date, and i lookd for my device on forum but i dont find nothing
[Android] Shawn:
It most likely doesn't have an update at all then. Next best thing would be to look on Google.

[HTC One X] Squidinker:
Guys I've done a bit of a job on my phone...

I was happily using CM9, clockworkmod for backup which was great when I wanted to try another mod and revert back.

Then I decided I'd like to try CM10. Installed it and got the ring loading graphic but got no further. So booted into recovery and reverted back to backup. That didn't last long. 'The kernel' I though. Maybe I should update the kernel?

So I decided to install the BRicked kernel.

Sadly, CM10 still wouldn't work and had the side-effect of stopping me getting into recovery. No problem, I plugged the phone in to my PC, went to fastboot and flashed 5.8.4.0 through the One X One Click v1.8B which did the job.

However now, I can't find my backups in recovery - when I select Restore it tells me "Couldn't open directory" and "No files found".

And I can't flash CM9 again because when I "choose zip from SD card" there are no files found there either. Or folders (and there used to be a LOT).

So I've gone back to Fastboot and One Click and tried to flash CM10 and CM9 again but each time it fails with

"Can not find [android-info.txt] in zipped image!
FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)

So I'm rather boned at the moment.

Booting the phone gets it stuck on the CM10 loading screen.

Recovery won't let me access or recover any files on my SD card (unless they have wiped somehow).

One Click won't flash a zip.

I'd really appreciate the help of someone a little more knowledgeable please to get ANY working OS on there!

I had a similar problem trying Arhd eb3 kernel on Arhd 9.7 and it wouldnt let me use my sd card or use 1.8 one-click I just factory resset and left it of for a min and it worked
[HTC One X] Squidinker:
Did factory reset, it went to recovery, still no luck finding any files/backups. Rebooted and again, gets stuck on the CM10 loading graphic :(
[HTC One X] treebill:
Try

fastboot erase cache
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
It sounds like you have the wrong boot.IMG do you have the cm10 zip file on you pc if you do extract the boot.IMG and flash that with one click tool
[HTC One X] Squidinker:
I have no option to erase cache... just Hboot, Reboot, Reboot bootloader and Power down.

I've tried erasing cache on One Click but get:

FAILED (remote: (00030003))
[HTC One X] Squidinker:
Good thought. Extracted, did Flash Kernel (no modules). Reboot...

BOOM. Straight in.

You sir, get the thumbs up :good::good:

Thanks dude :D
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Just hit the thanks button and glad to see your back up and running

You type that command into command prompt, you need fastboot files.

On the GS3 which is faster using my paid VZW Hotspot or can I get more juice out of the WiFi Tether???

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] damengual:
I am a longtime android user, own all nexus devices, etc.

My brother is thinking about making the jump from iPhone to an sgs3, should he stay on touchwiz or should I help him get a stable ROM on there? Maybe AOKP jellybean?

Suggestions and opinions/experiences appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
I'd say stock for a bit then later aokp. Let him get a taste of both worlds...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Medlock87:
Agree. Flashing a frequently updated ROM might be a bit much for an iPhone user, and touchwiz is friendly enough!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
I'd say stock w/ either Apex/Nova launcher
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] IcOpRo:
I say let him run stock, maybe if he wants a luncher on top of it, but if coming from iOS I would let him run TW fully there are some really cool features in TW that he will enjoy so much .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I say run stock for a few months, or until he is throughly annoyed by touch wiz. Then start flashing. Let him get used to how Android works, the menus, eyv before throwing custom stuff at him. If he doesn't know how it's SUPPOSED to work, he won't know when it DOESN'T work on a custom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djkinetic:
Personal opinion but no god awful touchwiz...and with the USSD bug goin around even more reason for me to never ever reccommend anyone use it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MdX MaxX:
You say you have all the Nexus devices, so I'm assuming that means the Galaxy Nexus? How about letting him use your Nexus and you get an S3? That way he can get used to pure Android without having to root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dave the Knave:
There is no bug, Samsung fixed it long before it was made public and current versions of the stock firmware don't have it

That depends whether he uses Wi-Fi or not. If he does then AOSP/AOKP ROM's will not work for him.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
Maybe I'm missing something but, are you implying wifi doesn't work on aosp roms?

LOL What? WiFi works fine...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the_boris:
Not that it completely does not work. It works for awhile. And then disconnects.

Aren't alot of features that come on the GSIII tied into TW? I haven't switched to AOKP on this phone but ran it on my GSII. There are things you have to give up by going AOKP or CM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xidcat:
Like crap battery life, 26 hrs plus on AOKP. Lol. There are TW features that are missing (certain camera features come to mind). But to the point of the OP, if you haven't used TW much, you won't miss them. Yes, AOKP/CM10 are updated frequently, but you don't have to update unless you want to. If the build you are on is stable, battery life is great and you're happy, don't update. I flash every update, my wife is on an early August build. For a person new to the S3, I would stay stock for a month (30 day return policy). If they're happy, leave it alone. If the battery sucks, root it, load Titanium Backup, and kill all the S-crap and carrier bloat. It should be a learning process, done in steps. Android is fun and there are so many options, which (to me) is why it is better than IOS. Too many people rush into custom ROM's without acquiring the basic knowledge of how Android works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
If this guy is not a techy person and doesnt want to mess with his phone all the time, leave it stock. You are the one that will be hearing him complain everytime something doesnt work or messes up., he will be fine and not have to worry about having to do anything and everything will work like it is suppose to. But if the guy is technical enough and not the complaining type, I still say start stock and he can ease into roms after he thinks he needs a change. But coming from an iPhone he is used to keeping the same thing for long periods and should be fine stock TBH. Plus in another month he will get JB and might be all he will ever need.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xlazaruzx:
Let him play around with the TW for a while and make sure to tell him how Android really works. The problem with a lot of people switching to Android is they expect it to work like iOS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] deadkenny64:
I tried the CM10 and loved it except that it wouldn't upload my contacts to my car via bluetooth. Very insignificant issue for almost everyone but a dealbreaker for me as I couldn't use hands free calling in my car. Good thing is he can try a custom ROM and if he doesn't like it he can go right back to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] axis01:
While I'll agree with you on most of your points, OS converts aren't use to flashing every couple days and then fixing minor issues that may or may not arise. TW may have it's shortcomings but many of the cool features that come with the phone are tied to it. Just because many on here are willing to give up somethings to have others that WE deem more important, the VAST majority of phone users just want their to phone to work out of the box. In the OP's case, it would best for him to leave it stock till he has a chance to play with android and learn how it works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Killua_22:
I personally changed from my iPhone 4S to the Galaxy S3 and I'm not looking back(specially after seeing the pathetic excuse for a phone called iPhone 5) . I did have an Atrix when they first came out but never rooted it or anything, got a bit frustrated with that OS and changed to the iPhone 4.

I left the Galaxy S3 stock for like about a day. But then I decided after reading a bit on the forums that I wanted to root and Flash a custom ROM to obtain a few extra perks to enhance ICS just a bit(since I like the way the stock ROM feels and looks). So I downloaded the latest Ariel Rom, and also flashed Ktoonz kernel, and right now I couldn't be happier. My UI is just the way I want it and my battery life is amazing(with a few minor tweaks on the kernel settings).

So just like a lot of the guys here are saying. Just let him try the stock rom and kernel for a bit. If he decides that he wants something more, then he can flash the ROMs. If he really like the way the stock UI is, then recommend him to stay with TW, if he doesn't really like some of the stock phone features than he can go for AOKP. Simple. Is all up to personal taste. Not what others think is better just because THAT particular set up is perfect for them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Voicebox:
I would say whatever you run, help him get swype and whatever favorite keyboard you use. The most annoying thing about ios for me is the keyboard. Make sure he tries a few to see which he prefers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Erazo1986:
Let him run stock for a while and when he gets bored with stock, try paranoid ROM..its an awesome ROM.

There are currently no "Stable" ROMs available for non I9300 model Galaxy S III phones.

With that said, save the iOS convert the annoyance of discovering and complaining about known bugs that ROM builders (and you) don't want to hear about.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
There are plenty of stable roms for non i9300 models
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
I used an iPhone for three years and then got a Samsung Galaxy S3.

1) Stock is grand. I've been using it just fine.

2) Get him Llama. It will fix the most annoying thing I found in Android--you can't sync your ringtone and notification volumes. Llama does that and things way more awesome, too.

3) Use Nova Launcher. It's pretty close to the iPhone experience (like being able to uninstall an app from the home screen or make a folder by dragging on top or moving apps around without a ridiculous "you have no more space on this home screen" message...unsure what Samsung was thinking on these things).

4) Show him you can download apps to your phone from a browser. Mind will be sufficiently blown. :D

~Ibrahim~

P.S. Android takes time getting used to, but now I can't imagine going back to an iPhone--so, tell him to be patient, :p So many amazing things you can do without jailbreaking! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kevinchen1102:
very simple

the answer is very simple:buy an iPhone 5.lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfc70:
Keep it stock. I came from ios, and TW is ok. Most importantly, for me any way, is I need my phone to work every single day. I don't have time to mess with my phone. Once he gets comfortable with Android, try experimenting with different launchers. I am never going back to an iPhone, especially after the disappointing iPhone 5.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amgpower63:
For now, keep it stock. But once you get used to it and get tired of touchwiz, you should definitely consider trying different roms/kernels.

Gs3 is freaking awesome. I'm never looking back to the iphones :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Longcat14:
Keep it stock, but at least, root it and get rid of the bloatware, so that the phone isn't bogged down by it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mathewrice:
After reviewing my previous post, I realized I didn't clearly specify what I meant by "no stable ROMs".

When referring to ROMs, typically, that term is reserved for Custom ROMs since a stock ROM is usually considered as "Firmware" even though there are customized variations of stock ROMs/Firmwares.

Regardless though, my point still holds true as even the stock ROM/Firmware is buggy, albeit less than the custom ROMs floating around.

None of the custom ROMs for non-I9300 models of the GS3 are stable since neither the CM team nor the AOKP team (or any other ASOP based development teams) have released a "stable" build.

If no stable base build is available, all bugs inherent in the base build are present in the Custom ROM.

So with that said, care to enlighten us to which "Custom ROMs" are "Stable" by definition and implication of the word(s)...?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Any ROM not released by Samsung is considered custom on the s3. Cm/aokp are aosp based, not TW based, but that doesn't mean all tw based roms are not custom.

Hi,

I've a problem with the clock of my htc hd2.

I use the latest htc-WinMobile 6.5 on NAND and Xylos latest AOKP (NativeSD), started with clrcad/haret.

But: When I'm booting Android, then the clock sometimes changed to an other date (aug.2010). I correct the date and time in Android, reboot and start WinMobile and sometimes the time/date switch again : -( sometimes to 2014, sometimes to 2010... if I've 2010, then all certificates of the installed Win-Apps are invalid and I can't start them...

Does anyone know a solution or a reason why the happens?

Thanks all for the great roms and the cool NativeSD-Methode. It's realy fast and stable.

Try to boot into winmo, set date and time, save. Then reboot into winmo again and see that settings stick. Then boot into android.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DLCPhoto:
I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, Stock ROM, running 4.0.4 until the OTA upgrade yesterday morning. Prior to this, I had no problem connecting with my 3G Network Extender. Following the JB Update, I can rarely connect to it, and when it does connect, it drops it quite quickly.

I am Stock ROM - haven't had time or motivation to deal with rooting and such, and have been reasonably pleased with the stock ROM's so far.

I have reset the Network Extender by disconnecting from the power source.

I have reset the Phone, by pulling both the Battery and SIM card.

I have set the Network Extender to "Open" status.

I was on PRL 14012 yesterday, and had occasional connection to the Extender.

As of this morning, I went to 14013, and it doesn't seem to connect to it at all.

I use a bunch of Apps, but no Launchers, Dialers, or anything else having a major systemic effect on the phone that I'm aware of.

I have called Verizon Tech Support, who so far haven't added anything to the situation. They are supposed to call me later today for a status update.

They are already talking about a full Hard Reset of the Phone, which doesn't thrill me, as it would require reinstalling/reconfiguring all my Apps and Accounts.

Anyone else have a 3G Network Extender having any issues with the OTA JB update?

Any suggestions on what else I can try to get this working again?

My home has very poor signal, and my phone is almost unusable without the Extender.

Thanks.

I just spoke to someone I know at T Mobile today. I will say this is not a best friend of mine or anything but I don't see why he would lie to me nether. He said they received pan flips for T Mobiles unlimited data with no caps for PRE-PAID plans. He said the price will be $74.99 and launching sometime in November. This came about when I was telling him I would like to switch but I don't want a contract.

Again I'm also taking this as a rumor guys. And yes I know some of you pay $30 a month on straight talk. This is not about straight talk so let's try to keep that out of the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Makes sense, just figured they'd wait a bit longer while they push it on the Classic and Value Plans and get people onto some contracts if they can.

Oh, and Straight Talk is $45 :p .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
Lol OK thanks for the correction.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bchaney16:
Tmobile already has prepaid plans. The $30 plan you're talking about is 100mins, unlimited data + text. If you want unlimited everything it's $70. 4G data is limited to 5GB on both of these.

And like I clearly posted. True unlimited data not 5 GB of untrottled crap.
