[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
I followed the Guide for Beginners posted by empty43. Everything seems to go OK but run EZ-Unlock and it does not unlock it. When I run EZ-Unlock, I get the Unlock/Lock screen (which takes quite a while), I click on unlock and, after confirmation that I do want to unlock I get the message: "Bootloader unlock failed, are you rooted?"

I do not have the app Superuser on the phone.

I have ROM Manager installed, but I haven't tried to use it.

Do I even need EZ-Unlock or ROM Manager for what I'm trying to do. I assume that because I don't have the app superuser I am not rooted.

Any thoughts?

Note: I did post a question specifically on this in a separate thread but I'd just as soon work on it with you if possible because I have limited needs for the root. I appreciate any help you can give.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Haven't looked at that thread in a while, its a bit misleading. Ignore step one and start at step 2. I recommend the SuperSU download. You do not need to unlock your bootloader for what you want to do, just achieve root and thats it. Follow all directions in step 2 and stop at the bootloader part. You'll need a program like 7zip or winzip (7zip is free, winzip is a trial). Process wil take less than 10 min

Let me know if any issues/questions arise. This is foolproof as long as its done correctly.

Section 2, NOT step 2.....sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
Just before I read your response, I read another thread where the problem was solved by installing Superuser from the market. I did that and now RootChecker is reporting that my device is rooted. I expect that means I can go ahead and install SD Speed Boost. Is that correct or is there something else I need to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Awesome, yes you can. Open up super su first and let it update its binary code. Then you should be good to go

Great, Thank you so much for your help. Have a really good day!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Good, let me know if the speed boost works out for you, I'm curious myself.

And don't forget to hit the Thanks button on the left of the posts when your in the forums if your happy with the help received
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Lot easier than it seems some times. lol I also speed boost to 2048 on boot on all my devices. Can't hurt. Just not sure if it helps internal. It is designed for external sd. Would have to research this. Most roms unless fixed by the dev are set at 512. :laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Yup, no go on internal. Just assuming op is storing his audio with that high of a bit rate on an external sd.

Me too. I didn't read but hopefully it a class 10. My badass dell got to be tweaked to play that ****. :laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
Still good so far. I get one to two second of clicking clicking/popping when a I start the music then its OK. Card, by the way, is a Team UHS-1. Not really sure if it meets the specs (read 40Mb/s) but I tested it on one of my machines, using an adapter, and it wasn't quite as good as my class 10 cards.

I will do some "thanking" as soon as I figure how to do it. I believe NoScript blocks it but I'll figure it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
Just a post to update whats going on since everything is not perfect.

I have had a number of instances lately where the clicking/popping continued past the first couple of seconds. I am generally able to stop it but there is no single solution that works every time. Sometimes stopping and starting the music player works, sometimes it requires a reboot.

I just realized that the battery could be running down on my D10 DAC/AMP and that might be the problem. I'll report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
Charging the battery in the D10 didn't make any difference. I'll try a couple of different cables in the next couple of days.....I have a new OTG cable coming from China.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I wonder if the system just can't handle that bit rate? Be odd if it can't.

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/LeanKernel/Dark Horse Rises
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
At this point I would say that it appears something can't handle the bitrate. The questions is what?

I will try putting some music files on the internal memory and see if that makes a difference.

I will compare higher bit rate (I assume higher kbps is higher bit rate) songs with lower bit rate songs and see if that makes a difference.

I will try a few different music players.

I will try the HDtracks again and see if I can get them to play at all. Initially, before I changed anything, these would play but the system would have trouble handling the bit rate. Now they don't even start to play.

Thanks for the interest. I'll keep trying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chinook9:
Latest update to PowerAmp appears to have solved the problem....most of the time. I have problems so rarely now after the latest PowerAmp update that I no longer consider it a problem. This update reportedly improved performance with Ice Cream Sandwich. I expect that because USB host function is part of ICM that PowerAmp did a tweak that pretty much solved the problem. I will report back if this.

Note: I am also now able to play 96khz 2700kbps HDtracks. They don't play perfectly but they do play.

I keep getting a message that my phone storage is low. Now in addition to that, it's declining text messages from coming in due to the lack of space. I don't have that many App's installed, so I'm not sure how to free up more space. I cleared all the web cache and history, deleted every App that isn't essential. Are there any other things I can do to free up space?

Thanks,

-Adam
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
Install App Cache Cleaner from playstore.

No offense but you sound noobish.. go to Settings and check Storage.. (internal memory)

Btw which Rom are you using??

Go to Message >> Settings >> See if you have checked Delete Old Message option!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
None taken! This phone only cost me $20, so I figured that I'd go with an Android instead of a normal phone. I don't use it enough to eclipse the "noob" level. I just downloaded the App Cache Cleaner and it freed up almost 2MB! Now I got 26.68MB Available space. I'm just using the Rom that came with the phone.

Thanks,

-Adam
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Unaided:
Search on the market for 'apps2rom'. That will do the trick. ;)

The only downside is when you flash a new rom after that, the apps you moved to the system partition got erased... But it definitely worth the trouble!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mrcorey:
I've been very happy with how android assistant does both jobs. Plus you can use it to back up your apps. You might want to give it a try
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
You said you have less no. of apps in phone.. still you have only 26MB space left.

I think you have not moved the apps to SD card..

Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage Apps.. >> Downloaded Ones.

Select apps one by one.. if you see the option of moving the app to sdcard.. do it.

Many will have the option.. many wont.. but you will save alot of space in internal memory!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
Awesome! I moved all the Apps I could to SD card; Now I got 35.46MB avail.Thanks, that RULED!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Are you even rooted ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
I don't think so. I'm just running whatever came stock with the phone. There might have been a firmware update, but that's it. Can you root this phone for free? If yes, can someone send me a link for directions. Also, what ROM would you guys recommend once I have the phone rooted?

Thanks,

-Adam
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
What rom you choose to use is completely up to you, there are several and yes you arent rooted...you have to find a program called gingerbreak v1.2 or superoneclick....im not sure which one would work for you but i used gingerbreak....rooting simply allows your phone superuser access which in terms can modify system files and the like. I dont have a direct link as of right now but you can search on google for ( sweetnsour how to xda lg optimus t ) and it should be the first link as he (sweetnsour) created the thread. Also im pretty sure youve got new baseband which allows for better signal. V10 is old baseband, v20a,b,etc...is new baseband, all of the current roms now only support new basebands but before i get ahead of myself considering you dont even have a rooted phone, do some research, before you attempt any kind of modification to your device make sure you fully grasp the idea of what your trying yo learn or else you end up with a shiny brick

I'm eligible for a new phone in December, so until then I'm gonna stick w/ what I got.. especially now that I have enough free space for my phone to work properly. Looking forward to getting a 4G phone w/ flash capability in a couple months!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Your phone now has flash capability but of course you have to be rooted because it requires installation of adobe flash player and adding libs to the data/data/flash folder than setting permissions
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
Oh yeah.. I was told that my processor isn't compatible w/ flash. Does the root and lib files get me around that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Screenshots

First one is my app drawer where you will see the flash player is installed

The second is the location of the lib.zip i extracted than copied files from that folder into the data/data folder
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
So I downloaded the "GingerBreak-v1.20.apk" file from that thread. It says to save this file to the phone storage and then run it to root the phone. I thought that you couldn't save anything to phone storage w/ an un-rooted phone. I also downloaded the "GingerBreak_exploit_source_from_APKv1.2.zip" file. What is this for?

I was just checking out this video: http://youtu.be/ur-HCfoiENo. Anyone try z4Root?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rr0yy:
Each every Android version is rooted in their different ways. First.. You need to check which version of android your phone is on!! Go to Settings .. About phone. If it is on 2.2.x (Froyo) you can use z4root or gingerbreak. Gingerbreak is easy to use.. put it in sdcard(or if you have downloaded it.. it will be there already).. install it and then run the installed program. Done.

If you are on 2.3.x (gingerbread).. then you have to use something else.. these s/w like z4root etc wont work.

You have the link to sweetnsour's thread. Read everything carefully. Have complete knowledge before doing anything.. or else you will brick your phone!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adam79:
I'm running 2.2.2. When using Gingerbreak, you don't need the file on phone storage? it can be on the sd card? Also, in the video, the guy using z4root didn't have a sim card in his phone. Is this because rooting also allows you to essentially break into the phone and then choose which carrier you want to use? i.e. the guy in the video might not have had a carrier yet (which would explain not having a sim card).

Thanks for all the help,

-Adam
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pmvyas:
Gingerbreak works from the SD card directly. Copy Gingerbreak to the SD card & run the app to root your phone.:good:

Rooting allows you to remove 'system' apps or install a custom recovery & custom roms. It does not carrier 'unlock' your phone, which is a different process ! Google's your best friend for this....;)

Hope this helps.

Okay loving the specs so far but how much RAM does this phone have? Knowing how sense 4 was such a resource hog I sure hope this phone has 2 gigabytes of RAM. But seeing how they left RAM off the spec sheet I'm sure it only has 1.
[HTC One X+] batna.antab:
Yes, There's only 1gb of ram
[HTC One X+] strikerdj2011:
1gb same as current normal one x

Is the ram also with the same speed as the One X?

Iphone 4 had a single core CPU, the 4S has a dual core one. Thats a pretty big upgrade :p

The 2100mAH battery, the 1.7GHz CPU speed and a real JellyBean system is more than worth it for me, not to mention the 64GB of storage.

Is right at the top of the link. Not sure if you're running the cwm6 with what you have now.

There's also the direct boot el29.

And depending on what you're doing can change recommendations.

Going from jb to jb, jb to ics, ics to whatever.. Etc.

But i stand by el26 cwm5 by chris41g if im going to recommend something.

Personally, i use agats and rj's kuban kernels. But I'm not usually running aosp or aokp builds unless i just want to try for a few hours.
