[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] broadways:
So I have the odin pda tar file - PDA_S5360_DDLF2.tar.md5

I unzipped it and extracted the following files:

1) boot.img
2) param.lfs
3) sbl.bin
4) system.img
5) userdata.img

I opened system.img and added/removed some apps inside the app folder. Saved system.img and exited. Look below:

These are the five files again from pda.tar which I'm putting in the tar archive

1) boot.img
2) param.lfs
3) sbl.bin
4) system.img (edited using ultraiso: see above)
5) userdata.img

I used the following code in terminal to make the tar ball:

tar -H ustar -c boot.img param.lfs sbl.bin system.img serdata.img > Custom_PDA_S5360.tar

The I used the following commands to md5 it:

md5sum Custom_PDA_S5360.tar
md5sum –t Custom_PDA_S5360.tar >> Custom_PDA_S5360.tar
mv Custom_PDA_S5360.tar Custom_PDA_S5360.tar.md5

Now i have the custom pda.tar.md5 with me. I'm a little scared to flash it without knowing whether it could brick my phone or not.

I need some guidance and advise from the senior xda gurus.

Will it work? Or not?

Or will I end up with a bricked phone?

Am I wasting my time?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] alkesh95:
Connect your phone to odin and flash it...

If it doesn't work flash stock...

And if flashing stock fails goto service center and sae " I swear i am never going to use that online update again!!!"

alkesh saar ji,

thank you for the wise crack answer. but i don't have the time to run around the service centre to fix my phone.

im not sure what the actual reasons are for hard bricking a phone

A phone that gets stuck in bootloop but can still switch into odin download mode is not actual brick IMO

in the past, i have successful placed several windows and linux OS's on one bootable dvd. I guess what im trying to say is that im not familiar with the mechanisms of an android OS.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] alkesh95:
If you want to try then do as I said....

Wait why you are using odin method you can simply push apk via rootex or adb:)

Globally recognised and certified NOOB
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] broadways:
Do you mean adb install method?

After each time i flash stock, i root and remove things i don't need from system(youtube, maps etc)

Then i install my imp apps on system(by removing sd) using adb install

Then i shift dalvik to system

I'm trying to automate my work. I don't think i can do dalvik shift in an odin package but I think I can do the apps add/remove thing.

What do you think?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] alkesh95:
Do simplest method use root explorer to push apps to system and set their permission rw-r--r--

Globally recognised and certified NOOB
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] broadways:
I prefer automation.

I use batch "rm" commands in adb shell to remove apps from "system/app"

And I use adb install batch command file to install all apps in android.

The order of automation:

1) Flashing rom

2) Rooting

3) Removing unwanted app from system

4) Installing apps on system

5) Unrooting

Whole process takes around 15-20 minutes and much of it is done through batch files.

What I want now is to add/remove the apps in the pda.tar flashable file itself.

If I can achieve this, my time will be reduced from 15-20 minutes to 3-5 minutes.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mejori:
incognito works really well, i have flashed 3 gs3's with incognitos.. i have also used a 1xphone (samsung seek) to flash an evo:D

the gs3 on boost worked great and you can even surf and talk at the same time!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
Anyone know how to get the Samsung factor in diag mode?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
how does surf and talk at the same time work? can I enable this on my sprint s3 as well ? (I have 2 S3 boost and sprint)

oh no crap just tried it and data DOES work on boost s3 while talking. Nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] quick99si:
It's usually ##8778# for Samsung phones and ##DIAG# for HTC. If you're running a non-Touchwiz rom, it would be *#*#8778#*#* (or DIAG instead of 8778)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wcsc12:
Incognitos are the ones that I use. I've heard the Prevail is good as well but more pricey. I haven't heard of being able to with the Innuendo yet though.

You can talk and surf at the same time only on LTE (4g). If you are on 3g, you can only do one at a time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
That is incorrect. The S3 is capable of talking and surfing on the Internet on 3g. It is an EVDO capable device and most likely the last of its kind.

I have the 50 percent coupon for the samsung s3 accessories. I am currently Looking at the allshare cast for only $50 which is pretty good but it says that it is only compatible for t-mobile or sprint. I have been looking at some custom roms that are sprint or t-mobile based for our at&t and wondering anyones experiences in making these allshare cast wireless hub to work with our at&t phones. If it works can you list the rom you put in and what you had to make it work. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pmkeitt:
Are you talking about the allshare cast dongle? If you are and you have an at&t galaxy s3 i747. Then your phone is already compatible. It should off been installed on your s3 with the latest update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ranova:
do you see "Allshare Cast" in "more settings" under wifi and bluetooth settings?

Thats what you need. I believe it was enabled in one of the latest updates
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KentuckyHouse:
I think what the OP is referring to is the fact that on Samsung's site, where you can use the 50% off coupon on an accessory, under the Allshare Cast it doesn't list it as being compatible with the AT&T GSIII. I have the same question since I've also got the 50% off coupon and I'd like to pick one of these up. But obviously we want to make sure it works with the AT&T version first.

It may be that Samsung just hasn't updated the page yet, since the AT&T GSIII just recently got the app in the updated firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
How are you guys getting these Samsung Coupons? Is there a promo code that you apply or a direct link that you use?

I am currently using a tmobile based leaked rom and it does have the setting but I need peoples input if custom roms will work. Would like to know also about the at&t update if it works with allshare cast.

My only reason for allshare cast is to use xbmc on my tv and controlling it wirelessly with my phone :). Making it a complete multimedia phone. If the wireless charger came out also, ill be one happy camper lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] john99teg:

Just received mine yesterday and it works great on my att phone.

I did hear though that there are a lot of problems with custom roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Greatminds:
I am on AT&T too & I just ordered mine (the allshare cast), the samsung sales agent says that it might not work on AT&T Galaxy SIII. But I went ahead and ordered it looking at the info posted by you :). Thank you.

Currently I am running 'NexusMod-Triune-II-(UX)-20120918' and I do see the 'Allshare Cast' switch in the settings. However, I could not get it to work with my samsung Blueray DVD player BD E7500 which does support allshare (I play videos from my PC onto TV via this DVD player using allshare...that confirmed that the DVD player is good). I also tried going back to 'Stock_rooted_Odexed_UCALH9' ROM, but still no luck.

Just hoping it would work with the 'allshare cast dongle'.

Could you please let us know what ROM are you on ? just in case if it doesn't work I can look around and flash the same ROM.

btw, here is a 50% off coupon if anyone wants to use it. 'rE155806p'.

Thank you in advance.

I bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S3 and the Allshare Cast Dongle. But I dont see the Allshare cast option in settings. If there is an update how can I update my phone.

Any help is appreciated.

So far I tried this with Stock lh9, NexusMod, ASTRIODS Jellybean ROMs with no luck.

Btw - I got the galaxy note 10.1 tablet yesterday & that works great with the allshare cast dongle.

2. Re-Set the counter using Traingle Away and reboot (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22463153#post22463153)

How to get allshare working?

Hi,

I have SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 unlocked att phone. I also got the dongle but I am unable to get it to work. How did you get it to work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cfmarque:
Just wanted to share my experience with this device so far.

I confirm it works on AT&T SGS-I747 UCDLK3 stock unrooted.

The very first time it had some difficulty connecting, but I don't recall exactly how I got it to connect. I remember playing with the reset button, plugging/unplugging the power cord, restarting the phone, turning wifi on/off for about 5 minutes until I got connection. Right away the firmware started updating using the "AllShare Cast Dongle S/W Update" app which got installed automatically from the Market a few days earlier.

Now the hub has FW version LJ02 and connects right away every time, and I don't loose connection.

So I've tried different programs to watch videos:

I streamed a 720p movie from my desktop PC, played it with the stock video player. It was a bit choppy but totally viewable.

Netflix: works really good.

Hulu: would be nice EXCEPT sound is lost everytime there's a commercial, so you have to re-sync with the hub everytime and then re-start the phone to regain media volume control.

HBO Go: The movie plays on both TV and phone at the same time (in all other cases the phone screen goes dark). Sounds lags big time and video quality is lower that the other options.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
I'm on stock rooted FI03 with Agat 5.4 kernel. Somewhere I have lost the ability to view logcat. If I run an app like CatLog, I just get a spinning 'wait' cursor. If I try to record, I just get an empty file. In ADB, I get "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory". I have confirmed that there is no log folder in the dev folder. Just did a lot of searching on this and it seems I must have disabled logcat somehow (no idea how). Does anyone know what I need to do to get this working again? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
Anyone have ANY ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjohnson4580:
Do you have logcat disabled in your build.prop. it would look like this

# Disable logcat

logcat.live=disable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Try going in as su from adb shell or ternimal emulator and see if logcat -d gives anything.

Stock FI03 has logcat support - I've used it several times.

Also used with Agat's FI03 repack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
There are no references at all to logcat in my build.prop

su

logcat -d

gives: "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main' : no such file or directory"

The kind of stupid thing about this is that I think logcat hasn't been working for a while now, for some reason I didn't think much about it, but it became obvious to me this last weekend. The last time I can be sure it worked was 7/21/12, when I saved a log with CatLog, so whatever happened, happened after that. I make notes about all my nandroid backups, but unfortunately I had an External SD failure and lost the nandroids from around that time. I am pretty sure I went from GB to ICS FF18 before that date. Since then, I have been to FH13, FH23, back to FH13, and now to FI03. The last time I updated to FI03, I wiped data, which was the first time I had done that. I have always used Agat source kernels (currently using Agat 5.4).

The thing that drives me insane about this is that if this isn't caused by the ROM (FI03) or the kernel (Agat 5.4), then it seems there MUST have been something that disabled logcat, and it shouldn't be so difficult to re-enable it! As I think can be seen from my update history, I am quite conservative in the upgrades/mods that I make, I just don't know what could have caused this!

(For the sake of completeness, I also have a long standing issue where the app lib files in data/data/'app name'/lib/ often end up with dates one month ahead of reality. I only noticed this because of the sort by data freshness option in Titanium backup. This issue survived my data wipe upgrade to FI03. Probably no relation, but there is it).

I appreciate the help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
Well, today lacking any better ideas, I created /lib/main in dev. Rebooted and phone updated as if I'd deleted the Dalvik cache, the folders were gone from dev... I suppose this is expected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Alright, we just discovered that it appears to be a kernel issue.

If you need a logcat, flash over to either stock or a Kuban kernel and it should be working there. I've already notified Agat and a new FI27 based kernel is ready so maybe he can find the problem and implement in the new build. ;)
