[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasonpantuliano:
First a little background. I am not new to the android world whatsoever. I don't post much but have been lurking for years. I had a Verizon GS3 and just recently switched to T-Mobile a few days ago and obviously bought a T-Mobile GS3. My vzw phone had no problems. But for some reason my T-Mobile phone will not boot any kernel I try to flash. Roms flash fine but when I flash a kernel everything goes fine in recovery but my phone won't boot past the splash and I end up having to restore a backup. I know I'm flashing the right kernels. I am on touchwiz based ROMs and haven't tried any aosp Rom because for the first time ever I actually prefer an OEM skin to aosp. So basically am I missing something obvious. Anyone else having thus problem. On Verizon I had to root and unlock the bootlosder. From what I understand tmobiles bootliader was not locked down and all I had to do was root. Like I said. I've tried every touch wiz Rom and every touch wiz kernel with each Rom and none will boot past the splash screen. I always wipe dalvik and cache but even tried wiping data every time too and keep getting the same result. Any input would be appreciated. . Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Shouldn't need to do any wiping of any kind. I only use AOSP/AOKP, though. May I ask why you even bother with custom kernels? They honestly seem like a waste of time to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasonpantuliano:
Im just flash happy. Like to try them out. I've been on Verizon for many Years and am used to the developers over there. I'm still getting used to the devs over here. Don't know any of there work. I'm sure its all good though. Been using imoseyons lean kernel since the thunderbolt back in the day and have stuck with them. Just my personal preference. I'd like to try some of tmobolrs kernel devs work but like I said I can't get a single one to boot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
What kernels have you tried to flash? There are a couple that have ICS builds. Also, what version of CWM are you using?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasonpantuliano:
I've tried all the tw kernels. Every single one with 2 different ICS tw ROMs. I'm not using the leaked jb tw. I'm stickung with the more stable ICS ROMs for now. I just don't understand. I've tried every one. I've been flashing a long time and don't get it. Im kinda new to Samsung though. First Samsung was the galaxy nexus. Didn't ever use Odin with it. Does anyone flash kernels with Odin. Maybe I should try that. And to answer your question I've tried twrp and the latest version of cwm from rom manager. And of course I'm using the ICS TW version of the kernels im trying.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
It could just be your phone doesn't like them. There is another guy on CM10 and AOKP that can't get custom kernels to boot either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The kernel source code was never released for any build from UVALH2 and beyond. So most of our kernels will only work with UVALEM and UVALG1 builds.

We got kind of lucky I think and ktoonsez att kernel was brought over and works. I think there's one or two others that work now too.

As far as described here go I think we've got some of the best! For an outstanding rom you should try FreeGS3. It works with most of the kernels and is an awesome stable rom. If you want a later build try wildcards XquiziT v70 based on UVALH2. Use ktoonsez kernel with it.

And just to note, the stock kernel is surprisingly good. So give it a fair shot as well. Though I can definitely see some potential advantages of custom ones as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasonpantuliano:
Thanks for all the info. But now I can't even get any other ROMs to boot. I don't get it. I keep having to restore my Xquizit v20 back up. Its driving me nuts

Have you done full Wiping?

Wipe Data/Factory Settings

Wipe cache and dalvik

Flash Rom

Fix Permission

Reboot and don't touch it for 10 minutes

Reboot.

Wipe cache and dalvik

Flash Kernel (Must be compatible with ROM)

Fix Permission

Reboot and don't touch it for 10 minutes

Reboot.

See if this will work. Sometimes you have to let it breathe so it can adjust itself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you tried uding odin to flash MrRobinsons root66 UVALH2? This will take you to fresh full stock plus root. Then try roms again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] countryboy092782:
Whatever you do................

Be sure to double check before you flash that kernel. Had my first SGS3 for 12 days before hard brick set in. Terrible disease it is.......! I had to adopt a replacement shortly after to cope with the pain of the loss. Back on my feet again now though and soarin' higher than giraffe vagina on the things I learned in my days off for mourning. I can tell ya I've personally flashed the lean kernel and kt-747 with no issues. My problems were with siya mainly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ke-ironman:
Guys, I have a serious problem.

It's similar to the one of the thread-opener.

The diference is that I cant get ANY ROM to boot, WITH the stock kernel.

And i do like the guide says: wipe/factory reset, wipe chache, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the ROM.

Everything works fine til the ROM finished flasing and runs a reboot.

My S3 shuts down screen, then turns screen on with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII-GT-I9300" and then thats it!

All i can do is to go in download mode or recovery mode. I can also flash CWM and so on, but after flashing ROMs it won't boot!

Is it possible that i broke the device by formating internal sd-card with the stock recovery tool?

Did it, after I tried to install Wickedv6 ROM and after both times when it rebooted it just reinstalled stock ROM. So i thought, ok delete the internal sd-card, so no stock ROM on it any more.

Also tried this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875923

Same problem.

Also tried to fix the problem by rooting and then flashing ROM. No help.

Please help guys!

Best regards
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
This isn't the I9300 forum, but if you flashed a T999 rom, you bricked your phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ke-ironman:
Wow, you scared the **** out of me :D

But i just tried to flash stock ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

It worked out!

What is the right forum for my GT-I9300 to post then?

And why isn't any other ROM working? :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The forum you got that stock rom from is the international one. This is the US Tmobile T999 forum. The two phones are NOT compatible.

Only flash, well...anything, from that forum. Our roms will brick yours and vice versa.

I just moved to the SIII from a Mytouch 4g and one feature I used a great deal there was tapping an SMS message that contained a link and it would bring up the menu where I would share it with Pocket to read later. Doesn't seem that I can get the share menu from tapping the SMS. Any simple way to save links there to another app? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] mbiggs31183:
So I'm hesitant to update to JB (waiting for the official release, lovingly tweaked by our community) so I'm sticking with ICS for the time being. On my Transformer Prime I was running AndroWook and loved it, but no such rom for the Infinity.

So, in your valued opinion, what would you say is the best ICS rom and why? :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
There sorta is only one, Zeusrom.

We're all waiting on ASUS to release JB so we can get CM10 and AOKP going.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mbiggs31183:
Well, you've still got Maniacs ROM, 9.4.5.26 with Tweaks, and a couple others that are stock with a few perks. Any thoughts on those?
[Asus Transformer TF700] androidxen:
You are sort of answering your own question... Maniacs hasn't seen an update in awhile, the others are stock with a couple perks. Zeus is close to what Androwook offered, though definitely not as heavily modified due to the slower pre-JB development growth of the Infinity community.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambytes:
I have my Tf300 for about 1 month and i have, at the top middle of the screen a little screen lift (like the nexus 7) and i want to know how to fix-it (i don't want to return the tablet to asus).

Thanks alot!!!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MercuryStar:
Aside from pressing gently on it to see if something has simply come loose (which probably won't work) most other ways of trying to fix it will probably void your warranty. So you may as well try and return it. OR put up with it, if you choose.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambytes:
It's very like the double-side tape inside is not enough strong to keep the screen... If i press the screen where is lift, after 1 hour the screen begin to lift... after 2 or 3 days it reach the maximum and it's like 0.5mm lift... just enough when I pass my finger it's not flush.

I've try to remove the back bit it's like double-taped too.... and I cannot find any "disamble" tutorial for the TF300... it's not a problem for me to loose my warranty.

But i really want to solve this little problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] leo5111:
i dont like system tuner so wondering if theres other tools..thank you :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hammerfest:
What don't you like about system tuner?

I have tried quite a few before I bought system tuner pro. The question is, what are you trying to actually DO?

I haven't found a utility that does everything that system tuner does, but I have found/used several utility's that do one or a few of the things system tuner does, as I said above however, what are you actually wanting the tool/utility to do (IE use it for)?

EDIT: leet post, ohh yaaaaa
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] leo5111:
well for 1 thing,change z-ram settings, also just the layout of system tuner i dont care for it :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hammerfest:
Well, I havent used z-ram in quite a bit (havent had the need), so Ill say sorry about that cant help you there!

As for the layout, I dont like the button screen being the main screen, so I changed the layout or "main" screen back to the task manager, then again, I have the widget on the desktop set to go to the task manager as well, but you can set it to go to any of the tweak pages, or even use system tuners widgets to shortcut to where you want to go, generally bypassing most layout issues.

Then again, for an app I generally only open once in a great while, complaining about the GUI is not something I would do. Now if I was opening it often, I definitely would say something to the author about possible changes...

wipes battery stats in recovery, charge fully (let is sit overnight to be safe) wipe battery stats again in am. let it drain to around 15% let it charge full (again overnight if possible) then see if you good, i have ocd so id probably wipe stats again just for safe measure.

if this wont help more info will be needed to trouble shot your problem

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shared_ptr:
As far as I know, battery stats are wiped every time you unplug from power with a full charge.

Also, battery stats have nothing to do with the battery % indicator.

Please read this and this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
yes I've read similar articles to those before, thing is I don't belive it wil give you more battery life, that's just silly. for the occasional time my battery indicator has been off, and rebooting alone doesn't work, wiping the bat stats does. now maybe this has just been a coincidence but it has never failed me. if it happens again ill just plug and unplug my phone to see if it helps... or ill just stick with wiping the stats and won't complain if it doesn't work
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raygarcia95:
hey guys... ive done the battery status wipe but no luck my phone reads the wrong battery percentage:(. idk what to do now. last thing im thinking is reverting back to stock froyo, were battery stats were being read correctly. also i found a gb rom called PantsRom, its based on the stock gb update for the HTC Vision, with all bloat gone and rooted with stock Vision kernel. im going to try that rom out today after i get off of school and see what happens. will post back then. again THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE AND THE HELP!:o
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raygarcia95:
just flashed PantsRom (Android 2.3.3) left stock with all bloat removed. (no overclock) will post back to c if battery is correct. Hopefully itll be okay :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raygarcia95:
battery still wont read correctly. last thing i have left to do is to go all the wayy back to froyo and loose root.. well c what happens then

EDIT - Even after reverting VERYTHING back to stop the battery did not seem to be reading correctly... UUGGHHH!!! PLEASE HELP!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob232149:
Have u tried running the battery down to nothing?

Run till the phone simply wont stay on and try to charge it to full from there (like over night)

then maybe wipe battery stats again

however i do believe battery stats are wiped every time a full charged is achieved like mentioned above.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raygarcia95:
done that several times.. right now im running the phone with the wrong battery % STILL hahahaha, i jst carry my charger everywhere just incase..

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
probably won't have time for that, maybe some other nice feller here would be. but as for now your best bet is to root and put a custom rom on it so it will let you bypass inital setups, or you could borrow a friends tmobile sim and just go through the setup and never reset it.

if you choose the rooting setup you need to start by finding out what your running, power on while holding camera and write down everything on that screen
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:

does this help?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well are you able to borrow a sim card for a bit so you can do the initial sign in? If not you will need to do a little extra to turn on WiFi from the sign in screen
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
No i am not able to my friends either have at&t or verizon like me
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
@ the sign in try tapping the 4 corners to see if it will bypass

if not then your best option is to follow the cyanogen wiki (google it) in the link on the dream there will be instructions to root and instructions to bypass using adb, feel free to ask if you get stuck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
i have tryed using the cyanogenmod wiki rooting methhood befor. i got to the android sdk part and whenever i did what the wiki asked didnt work. did everything it asked for.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well what part is that? to root you do not need the sdk. if you are trying to bypass the startup screen then you will. you will need adb.exe from platform-tools in the sdk and the proper drivers. possibly you will also need to update java

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacra:
@ tsorius

You've got a 2708 radio, so you have to either (a) flash a ROM that states it is compatible, or (b) flash a 2708 kernel after flashing the ROM of your choice.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blue_wolf2001:
Im sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but I really need help. I have tried searching all kinds of post for hours and cant seem to find a fix to this issue for EVO lte. After I flashed to the Jelly Bean rom (codefire) my SD card is no longer recognized. I am unable to access the card when it comes anything on the phone (camera, music, even flashing gui/goo manager). Now I will say that I can reboot into recovery and the card can be seen, but I can't flash back to ICS since the kernel was change. So if anyone can give me some detailed information on what I can do it would be greatly appreicated.

So I noticed this a few days ago. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds. It will work for a while and then it will no longer time out. If i reboot the phone everything goes back to working order. Ive tried this with and without smart stay on and got the same results. I do not have any applications installed that would cause the screen not to time out, plus it works from time to time. Any ideas as to why it may be doing this?

Hi all. I'm running the stock rom, fully updated, on my Sprint GS3, and it's rooted. I bought a 64GB SanDisk microSDXC and formatted it in fat32. Transferring files to it directly from my PC with a USB adaptor gets me ~6MB/s transfer rate, but when transferring files to it through the phone, the speeds are at a crawl. Nearly 500 KB/s.. Is there any way to speed up these transfers? I have an otterbox on the phone and having to pull it out to transfer files everytime just seems like something that can be avoided.. Thanks for the help

My 16GB is almost full, and the culprit is mostly GameLoft gamedata.

I definitely want at least 64GB internal in my next phone, + 128G external, and 1080p flexible samoled+, wireless hdmi, ~5", 12MP, ... better stop myself here. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
that must be including an external sd card right?

I regret not getting the 32gb.

i dont think the 1080p would be such a big deal on such a small screen
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
1080p comes in handy when you connect your phone via MHL-HDMI cable to a 1080p display. Currently, WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet, which means 720p upscaled to 1080p. Also, if you've got eagle eyes, the S3's 320dpi still isn't good enough.

In any case, 1080p displays are coming, along with GPUs efficient enough to drive 'em. At some point we'll have to make a disconnect between the phone's display resolution and it's output resolution (when 4K and 8K TVs become more common in a few years).

You have eagle eyes? It depends how far you hold it from your eyes as well. There will most likely be no difference - except for people that like to think they see the huge difference while they are staring like - :eek:

Not sure where you interpreted a diss launching pad from.

There are many web sites discussing this topic. I dont need to get into the specifics (especially since this is partly my field of work).

1080p on screens this size is pointless.

I am now asking you nicely to stop posting in my topic. If not, I will report to moderators.

Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
My point was 1080p is pointless for the SMARTPHONE's screen. Obviously not for a 1080p external display (which still has its stipulations - depending how far you are sitting, etc).

Regardless, I have reported you.
