Take a look at this post for rooting LH9:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32218479

The method is mrRobinson's thread (the one mentioned in a previous post) requires downgrading to an older stock version (LG1) so you would need to upgrade again after doing that. Also, people have reported problems downgrading from LH9 to LG1 without doing a factory reset.

Edit: The method in the post I referenced is roughly the same as the one from the galaxysroot site the OP mentioned.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Apocalypse487:
Make sure when you root your device, that the files are for your current build, android version, carrier and etc. If one thing is out of place you can possibly brick your phone. I'm still learning myself. The most important thing is make sure that you read everything 3 times. Make a check list. It helps.

The best jellybean rom I think is ParanoidAndroid. It's CyanogenMod 10 based. CM10 is short hand.

Hey guys when i switched to CWM recovvery and selected backup to external sdcard it said 'android.secure' couldn't be found skip backup of applications.

So it did not backup my app data, what should I do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hompsar:
Titanium Backup. Make friends with it. In my opinion a must have for any Android device. For backing up everything you'd need when trying out roms to freezing/deleting (be careful with the latter) 'bloatware' (carrier nonsense) it will be a necessity. And life saver.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KentuckyHouse:
I couldn't agree with this more. TB is an amazing piece of software and a real lifesaver. Also, since we have external sd cards, make sure to change the settings in TB so your backups are saved on it (if you save it to your internal storage your backup might get wiped during a session of flashing another ROM). If you purchase TB Pro, it includes an option to save your backup to Dropbox (it's well-worth the money and supports the developer too).

OP, I was a longtime iPhone user (I've still got the 4S in a drawer) and I always jailbroke too. Android can be confusing at first, because the terminology is different and just because it's a different operating system. But if you read (and read and read as someone suggested earlier), you'll get the hang of it. Once you do, you'll realize how much easier it is to root and play than it ever was with jailbreaking an iPhone. Another plus...you aren't in constant fear of losing your jailbreak (or root, in this case) because of an update. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mathewrice:
You think you know, but you have no idea...

First things first...

Did you understand what you were really doing when you were jailbreaking your iPhone?

What was going on in the background, how the jailbreak was working, what was involved in the jailbreak process or even what the different types of jailbreaks were e.g. userland vs. bootloader (hardware level) exploits [are you familiar with the term "exploit"].

If you think what I am talking about is confusing and if you weren't aware of these things, you might want to avoid rooting and/or flashing custom ROMs.

Android as a platform is much more open than iOS, so lots of features and functions don't require rooting or flashing custom ROMs.

Before I purchased my GS3, I was a die hard iPhone owner, year after year since the first iPhone (with the exception of the recently released 6th gen iPhone and a few diviations here and there to blackberry and old Android phones).

Before I even considered messing with my Galaxy, I read, read some more, and then a little bit more. Regardless of all the reading I did, I had a moderate level of understanding of what I was doing and how my actions were affecting my phone.

All the advice in the world won't save you from bricking your phone if you don't have a general understanding of what these tools are doing to your phone.

In the iOS jailbreak community, the developers behind the tools leverage Apple's fall-back restore features to nearly eliminate the possibility of bricking your phone. But that is also inherent to the platform since there aren't custom ROMs available to install to an iPhone (for many reasons).

To summarize,

It sounds like you need to learn a little more about the world you've been playing in previously before you start playing in the Android world.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bronos:
Hey man thanks for the advice!

I figured it out eventually. I just had to read and actually try Rooting. I now know most of the terminology of android. It's pretty straightforward. Of course there are some errors. But seriously Android is absolutely unbelievable (especially 4.1.1 and JB) have features I could only dream of getting supported on the iPhone.

If I do get errors there is usually a fix or something I can look up on how to avoid it. If a day comes when I do brick I should be alright if I do brick AT&T should be able to replace it for me. I've been a loyal customer to them and my family included.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pforsb01:
I highly recommend this guide to rooting. I used it just a few days ago and it worked perfectly.

I tried AOKP and CM10 but have actually settled on this stock ROM for now. I like being able to maintain the 'motion' features which aren't standard on the others. Google Wallet works well too which is a big plus for me. There should be an update in the next 24 hours to "Milestone 5".

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Link3737:
Using AOSP JellyBean, CM10, and MIUI 4.1, I have experienced an issue where the audio coming through the speakers in the phone is either at max volume (no matter what volume setting I have), or completely silent (turned off).

Is this a known issue with JellyBean on the E4GT (Seen across three separate ROMs), or is this a hardware defect in my device?

Any help is appreciated.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
i have an unlimited prepay t mobile data plan i use to mess with various gsm htc phones. i picked meself up a t mobile 3g flyer,fired it up,and while it looks like 3g and 4g are working,little arrows and all,data is not really working. :mad:

ive tried adding a different APN,and flashed leedroids HC with phone enabled rom in efforts to get it working.

im assuming that t mobile somehow knows i have a phone data plan,and as such is not letting the data work correctly.

i can make phone calls and send sms just fine. but no data.

question is simply,anyone know of a way to make this work??

thanks for any info :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
Did you get it from T-Mobile or is it an unlocked international unit? If you got it from T-Mobile, you may have to get the MSL to unlock the system first.

I do the exact same thing with an international unit and a T-mobile prepaid SIM card and my data work great. I'm on the $3/day of usage plan, as I normally have either wifi access or my phone has a 4g connection and I can tether the 2 via wifi.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
thanks for the reply. any idea how to get the flyer into diag mode? i found !!3424! on the calculator works for the view,but its not working on the flyer :mad:

it is a t mobile branded device,so if i can figure out how to get into diag ill give this a shot :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
update: i still cant figure out a way to get to the diagnostic menu to find the msl and unlock. i believe the t mo flyer is not subsidy locked,as when i put my vzw lte sim into it,it does not prompt me to enter an unlock code.

i dont know if the difference here is the fact that youve got an unbranded international unit,or the fact that youre on the $3/day prepay. i called t mo and played dumb,and eventually they confirmed that i would need an internet "broadband" plan,wich would make the sim card not work in phones,and be more expensive :mad:

hoping maybe the $3 prepay plan maybe is what is letting it work,i ordered another sim that i plan to activate with the same

failing that,i guess i need to either sell this one and find a international unit,or find a way to make the t mobile unit "look" like the international one to t mobile.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scotty1223:
got my sim,set up the $3 prepay,still no go. is there a way to make the t mobile branded device look like an international unlocked version?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinigenEddy:
Hey everyone! So here's the story..I've had plenty of experience with rooting Androids in the past, but today, when I came across my Nexus One, I came across quite a few problems. The ROM i decided to settle on was HyperSense Nova, and after following all the instructions in the OP carefully and using BlackRose to change my partitions and ultimately flashing the ROM at the end, I realized that phone was stuck in a boot loop.

Does anyone have any advice as to where to proceed from here? Any advice at all would be extremely valuable; thanks!

Hello

I have a problem with my one x, it does not capture well the mobile network, while on another one x and others smartphone that captures very well the network

I gave him a flash with ruu last updated 2.17; May I always the problem

So I wonder if this is just a software problem that I can adjust itself, or it is a hardware problem and that I should return the phone in this case to the dealer

thank you
[HTC One X] Aevum:
Some roms and some versions come with the radio configured to WCDMA only, meaning that it will only connect to 3G and HSPDA networks, most phones are set to WCDMA when available and GSM when not, so the phone skips from one to another depending in signal strengh.

in settings go to mobile network, there should be an option there called network mode, see if its set to WCDMA only or GMS/WCDMA Auto.
[HTC One X] octopus82:
Thank's

when I put this option in gsm only I have not network at all; but when put it into gsm an dcma I have network but it is unstable, sometimes I have one bar network, sometimes two and sometimes full but it leaves immediately after, and when I called I got a notification for setting the time zone so that it is already set

Still not good.

When I restore to an early backup, my CSC is fine, but IMEI is not there.

I cannot find the stock FIRMWARE for OPTUS or Vodafone with a matchin CF pair. A lot of the file share links are not working.

1. Anyone know an alternative way to fix and restore the original IMEI?

2. Anyone know where I can get the stock firmware with CF file as well? (Sammobile doesnt provide the CF files)

Thx.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JISIK:
first change your rom

for example cm10 to cm9

if you were lucky, imei would be restored

second if you back up imei before error, use ktool app to restore your original imei

third if you use siyah kenel once, find your back up file in your sdcard

if you have nothing, sorry to hear that:thumbdown:

This page is dedicated to make a stable ICS-JB for the Motorola Atrix

Brief history about the project:

- Un unstable ICS for Motorola Atrix was leaked

- Developers worked on integrating kernel and drivers into existing build

- Kernel was found to be very unstable and new kernel is being ported to Atrix

- While we wait for the kernel, an ICS CM9 build is ready for anyone willing to join the challenge

Next step:

- Developers should get involved in fixing/enhancing the current build

- Code submission is done by forwarding the changes to the head development team for inclusion

Build source code is all available to anyone willing to participate. The build process follows CyanogenMOD builds.

Source Code location: https://github.com/MROM/android/tree/ics

[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Right before the boot loader unlock was leaked, edgan managed to port 2nd-init to the atrix. Due to the timing, I don't believe anything was made to take advantage of it but perhaps it could help out those with a locked boot loader?

2nd-init, from my understanding, is a technique used on other Motorola phones to run custom ROMs on the stock kernel. It seems to have gotten the Defy pretty far, seeing as they have solid looking CM10 ROMs going on the moto GB kernel.

Here's a link to edgan's thread. I don't recommend anyone try this as existing ROMs will NOT run on it, but for the devs here it might be worth a look.
