Synergy .r73 and KT747 ...

Most of the issues you hear about are caused by overclocking (anything above 1728 MHz is just for bragging rights or quadrant scores), underclocking (anything under 384 MHz is asking for trouble) undervolting (don't get ridiculous here ... your CPU needs power), using a task killer and/or applying unnecessary tweaks (e.g., V6 Supercharger ... totally unnecessary).

My phone, wifi and GPS work flawlessly, and my 4g speeds are off the charts.

The theme support is pretty good, too.

Jb rom's will not come close to the stability of ics until the official release from samsung/vzw. Data issues being reported as well. I suggest reading for a day before doing anything. AND BACK UP YOUR IMEI BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
I've been reading, seems the main problem is the modem being used in some of the ROMs. Apparently they updated to HD and everything works fine after G7. I also heard about IMEI issues, how do I back-up? A lot of the instructions are confusing...

Read the entire first page min. Do the terminal method A, and the synergy method B if you plan on running a rom other than synergy. (if you flash synergy it does it for you.)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huskyjayboy:
I agree with this.

I've used Synergy r73 with Imo's kernel and KT747 kernel. I'm currently using Ziggy's kernel, which is the default on Synergy r73. So far so good and smooth!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
I tried reboot nvbackup but it just rebooted normally and didn't go to the bootloader thingy. Does that mean it didn't work? I had superuser access and everything, am I supposed to do the vol down + pwr + home thing you usually do to get into the bootloader or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huskyjayboy:
Did you see tiny blue text at the top left when it was rebooting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
yeah, a quick flash before it booted. is that it? and do I have to do the other backup thing with the program after it or should nvbackup do the trick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huskyjayboy:
Well according to that thread "You may see tiny blue text on the bootloader screen indicating that it is copying." So I would assume that's it.

To be honest, when researching this whole lost IMEI issue, I was so paranoid that I did EVERY type of backup that was discussed in these forums. I saved every backup file to my dropbox account, my phone, and my computer just in case. I'll admit, I'm a bit more care free when flashing now, but I have yet to experience a lost IMEI issue.

If you're paranoid like me then it never hurts to do the other backup methods.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
I think I'm safe then. I'm thinking of doing a new NANDroid backup with the IMEI thing I did though, would the backup include the IMEI?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
What the backup does is prevent the samsung system from overriding your IMEI during flashes. It's a bug in this system when certain scenarios are met, the system thinks it needs to reset the IMEI. The backups lock in your dedicated one. Multiple methods do not hurt, losing it can be potentially unrecoverable. Agree with above to be paranoid and cautious, do multiple methods. ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
I think I'll take the risk with the one IMEI.

So now I'm ready for AOKP and am really excited.

Gonna boot into cwm, clear all things, install AOKP zip, install inverted GAPPS (not sure if I should wipe before this but whatevs), boot, if everything works I'll download the Aperture labs boot screen, if not then there's a 3G fix on the AOKP thread that I'll install assuming I don't have an IMEI issue, if it still doesn't work and the IMEI issue isn't present then I install the G7 radio thing.

Is that how I do it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
backup IMEI (both methods)

backup any apps + data you care about

nandroid current setup

then in the same recovery session

- format all (system, boot, data, caches)

- flash the rom, kernel (if a separate one), inverted gapps, in this order

reboot and test

now flash any tweaks, bootanim, and new radios

test again and nandroid new setup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
yes it is, but its no different than g1 or f2... bottom line its still stock based touchwiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
Thanks Cripsy, did everything and I don't have one single issue! I love AOKP! 4G is fine, I'll have to go somewhere where I only have 3G to test if that works but I applied the patch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
you dont need to format system...wipe data/factory reset does that lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
...oh....

it's my first rom. don't judge, not nice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Have to respectfully disagree. Wipe data/factory reset wipes all user data ie data including apps/android secure on both sd cards/and cache. You can then boot into the same rom and resetup your user data. What is wiped as far as data depends on recovery you are using. No recovery will wipe system during wipe data/factory reset.

Formatting system wipes rom which is located on system partition. You now have no rom to boot into and will only get first boot splash. Must flash another rom at this point. This is why recoveries separate system wipe from the rest to avoid losing rom. Data, System and Boot are all separate partitions and have separate wipes for this reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I said that incorrectly...

the system is formatted when you flash a new rom, so there is no need to do anything else other than wipe data/factory reset before flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Some will, some won't in the manner your describing. It's pretty clear that most devs here ARE calling for a system format when changing base versions. And the cooked in system format within the zips (from my research, don't hold me too this) is only effective on the same base version.

Anytime your changing android versions, it's wise to format your system, problems are likely to arise if you don't.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Only if the dev wipes it in update script. Not all devs do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
you fine bro, just trying to make sure you get the correct information!

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Jellywiz does on the latest releases.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

from my understanding it works when switching bases aswell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You are correct. Jellywiz does format dev block 14 in RLS8. Haven't looked at any others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I thought so...also just want to add that I am not trying to go against the grain and argue with you guys. Just want to make sure that the correct information is passed along. Not saying there is anything wrong with formatting system at all. Just trying to keep my guide updated with the latest methods, and from my countless hours of flashing and trying different things, a simple data wipe/factory reset works for everything...even restoring nandroids. The only time I have ever had to Format system was on the first couple jellywiz builds. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I do it out of habit. Don't want to check updater script on each rom as I test many of them on Tbolt, Rezound and S3. I also flash as many as 10 per/day during testing for multiple devs. Have fixed too many reported bugs with a system wipe. I agree with nandroids and stock untouched RUUs as they are Image flashes and flash over entire partition. lol :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I should probably add format system in my guide instructions, as Im sure most new users dont check the updater script! Good Info thx!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
+1. Another 10 second wipe is worth it to me to eliminate any chance of bug being flash related. I only want to flash once and know bug is probably rom/kernel related. :cool:

Well I've never formatted my system Its always been formatted in the rom script I'm flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
Turns out Jelly Bean is quite stable (at least for me)

I'm going to guess the reason I haven't had any bugs is because everything was fully formatted and I followed directions. My only problem is the battery but I hear it may have something to do with the radio, I'll read up on HD before I decide to flash it. I hear both amazing and terrible things.

KT747 + AOKP = Magic

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naaney:
Hello guyz,

Yesterdwy my touchscreen stopped working at one particular spot but after a reboot it started working again. But should i worry about this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
Usually the touchscreen stops responding when eigher :

a)Phone is overheating (Was it very hot?)

b)OS (Android) is lagging like hell (Have any Resource whore installed?)

c)The touchscreen might be failing.

In 99% of the cases its eigher a) or b).

So check your apps if you got anything thats using all your phone's resources and also check if the phone gets very hot (Have you OC'ed it?).

Respect
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naaney:
No the phone was just in my pocket and then i wanted to send a message to a friend, i could type every letter except the "g" .And that was the spot that wasn't working. and no i haven't overclocked it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robekia1:
Sorry to open a new thread as i already did a very useless deep search.

Below is the Problem:

1- Phone didn't fail down (ground or water).

2- phone functionality was excellent including charging, Kies and everything.

Now:

1- phone is not able to charge while on.

2- Going to dwonload mode is OK but ODIN can't detect it.

3- Kies can't detect it.

4- Power off the phone and try to charge is useless (Never charge).

I perform the exact following scenario:

1- Power off the phone.

2- Take off battery.

3- connect the power cable and nothing happened (This is Normal).

4- PUT BATTERY BACK :confused:

5- The phone Start charging (This is very strange !!!!!!!).

6- Pressing power while charging in off-line mode cause the phone correctly load the ROM and charging is ok.

The problem is:

1- Powring off the phone and then on again, can't charge (Previous scenario is the only way to charge).

2- Till now, can't connect to ODIN or any connection of any type.

Can Someone help?:crying:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Check your Battery contacts, clean if oxidized and contacts are firm, not loose, some use paper or tape to keep them in place . Similarly USB ports should also be clean.

visit My Android Solutions to reasolve USB connection problems
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robekia1:
Still looking

Thank you for sharing with me this Idea, I did with no luck also.

I tried to clean it but it is really clean as i bought the phone few months ago and always keeping it clean.

I believe this is not the reason because the battery must not be able to operate the device in this case.

Yesterday, i tried many other ROMs with the same results.

When i thought about this problem from both sides (Hardware and Software), i found both are logic:

1- (Hardware Problem) because many ROMs with the same result.

2- (Software Problem) because it can charge under specific scenario..

I already visit your thread which is a great one and helped me already for many problems with another Phones.. (Thanks).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiej:
Hi, about ODIN and KIES problems, maybe you're not able to connect to the phone because of some drivers failure o conflicts...

could you try to use another PC (maybe you have already done that...)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robekia1:
I thought about the same before and tried from another 3 laptops with the same result.

BTW,

- I did NO change to the software in my laptop since last ODIN and KIES access.

- I did try disabling the Anti virus.

- I did try changing the Cables (i have many many).

- I did try using the same cable with the same laptop for another device and that device is OK.

- I did try with many other laptops with different cables for another device and all are OK.

- I did try with many power adapters with the same voltage and different power supply voltage (110 and 220).

in all cases, the mobile charges only under the mentioned specific scenario (Turn off, pull battery, connect charger then insert battery) but never do a PC communication under any case.

As i told you (VERY STRANGE WAY:eek::angel:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robekia1:
Currently, I'm thinking about any Tech. Soft. configuration that allow/prevent the device from being charge while the phone is ON.

We will need the experts input if such a config is currently present in any Cooked ROM, if yes it will help..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
you need to use only the original samsung USB cable or someone mentioned that Huawei also worked, other than that most cables will not have data connection only charging
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robekia1:

Hello, I have searched and read for days without an answer to this. I am a long time iPhone user, and jailbreaker/dev, who has just jumped ship over to Android. I have the US AT&T Galaxy S3. I am attempting to root it using a Mac. I have read the guides, and watched the videos from appdr0id, however, it is not working for me. When I use heimdall I get an error that it failed to initialise. I am guessing, from what I read, that it may have to do with missing Samsung USB drivers for my Mac, but I can't find them anywhere to download. Also, I would like more info about whether or not I need to place any files into the phones file system before flashing, which files, and where, as this has made no difference. I have heard great things about Cyanogen Mod, and would love to try it, but I am open to suggestions as to what to use post-root. Will someone please give some directions for rooting and flashing using my Mac, or some more detailed guides?
