I'm Back, Baby!

I'm not sure how it went down but prior to this, I was unable to use SEUS. No matter what I did, I couldn't repair it. However, since your post, I was able to use SEUS & Flashtool to get back to where I was before I screwed up my X10a. I'm currently running Wolf's Rom (many thanx!!!) & am very satisfied w/all your help homey! You da man!

I noticed you are running ICS on your X10i. Any help so that I may partake of that deliciousness?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdX9170:
Ur welcome :D i don't think u need help :) you just flashed a custom ROM.. the procedure for installing ICS is the same. Although it'd be better if you are on stock before installing it.. just look for an ICS ROM that u like (I'm using feralab n it works like a charm).

Get the kernel n ROM.. as usual, put the ROM zip on ur SD card, flash the kernel, install ROM from recovery :)

Although before installing:

1. In recovery go to mounts n storage

2. Format system data n cache

3. Mount system, data n cache (note that if the mounting is successful the options should change to unmount system, unmount data, unmount cache respectively)

4. Then install ROM

5. The installer is GUI based so it'll guide u really well through the installation :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] k1llua:
Hi,

i have a sgs3, rogers, and i rooted it last week to try out some roms, yesterday i used my backup in CWM to restore to the original software i had on the phone.

Since then, i cant get any decent connection to the network, and it caps out at edge, when im lucky. I addition, to even get to edge i had to fix the imei in the phone because when i restored it soemhow got reset to 0

So, now i have followed the steps to unroot the phone and reset all the counters and get it to say that it is unmodified, and nothing has worked.

i have been seraching for hours today to try to find a similar situation, but i cannot find anything...

I dont know what else to try, i have used the triangle away program and followed the steps that are associated with it.

I would like to get my phone back to stock, with full conection if possible, and at the very least be able to get it reset to saying that the system is official and the phone is unmodified.

Any help is appreciated, im out of my wheelhouse with this problem..

Thanks,

k1

in download mode i get this readout:

Name: SGH-I747m

Binary download: No

Current binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

doesnt matter what i try, i cant get it to stop saying custom

your going to have to use odin to go back to stock and that might fix your data issue it did with some, didnt with others go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

and download the tar you want and flash it, it will ERASE your sd so just be warned, if you dont want your sd erased you can use mobile odin, which is in chainfire's thread or the play store, his thread has a free version though but you will have to dl the flash kernal for you phone which is also in his thread, i would suggest downloading the tar from mr robinsons thread then flashing it with mobile odin and then see what comes up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] k1llua:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jthrasher47:
Did you try a factory data reset after odin?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phateless:
Factory reset only affects the /data partition, and the flash counter stuff is stored in the bootloader partition, isn't it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] overlord727:
Did anyone else see that his imei got set to 0? I'm pretty sure he has to restore his imei if he wants a working connection beyond edge.

That should work. I have used Mobile ODIN to flash back and forth between recoveries. You can find ODIN flashable files here.

Is there a way to replace the Samsung Kies calendar with another one? I really don't like the Samsung Kies calendar. Also, I use smooth calendar widget, so it would have to be compatible with that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RN-Dude:
Try Business Calendar Free. Haven't tried it on the GS3 yet, but loved it on my old EVO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WasabiWa83:
​

This is my third theme for the GS3. This was tested and based on CleanROM 2.5. If you try it on any other ROM based on the G7 modems, let me know. If you do try it and it borks your phone, though, I'm not responsible. And in general, I'm not responsible for anything that you do to your device. The app icons that you see are from a paid Apex theme in the PlayStore. Just search for Black Go Apex Theme Pro. I'll be making some of my own eventually.

Please do not use any of my work included in this theme without permission first. This stuff takes time, and I would be happy to help you if you just ask first.

Works On:

CleanROM 2.5

What's Themed:

SystemUI.apk

framework-res.apk

SecSettings.apk

lidroid-res.apk

To Be Done:

Tons of more images that I want to change in framework and systemui as this is just the first release.

Various other apks

All I ask is for thanks if you like my themes. If you want to donate to me, save your money and donate to Scott, thisiskindacrap, who MIKE D, or rcw95 on my behalf. That's where I'd use the money anyway for all of the help they give me.

So I installed this and everything is fine but there is no battery icon, just the percentage and when I click it off the is no stock battery icon...

Stated in the op. Gonna try to fix it tonight. Not really sure what I did though because it happened with my synergy theme I just finished.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WasabiWa83:
I'm working on it. There's multiple issues with the theme overall that's ticking me off. I'll figure it out. I might see if I can make it an aroma installed theme to get it to work correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rwc95:
I sent you a PM on fixing the battery icon issue, let me know if you didnt get it, it acted funny when I sent the pm so not sure if it went through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WasabiWa83:
Updated theme is up in post 2. Includes the battery again. THANK YOU, rcw95 for helping me fix that crap. Stupid/tired error/computer hates me.

Also, there is an odex version and a deodex version. Try the odex version first. If that doesn't work, then try the deodex version. Make sure you have a back up before you do either so you have something to fall back on. If they don't work, I'll fix it eventually when I can figure out why it's not working correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antawnm26:
Geez, I want to try this theme, but scared its still a no go with clean rom 2.5

Sorry to be a bummer but installed both but both didn't work, meaning status bar completely missing. This was done on separate trials.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WasabiWa83:
Ok, new release is up. This one was completely rebuilt by thisiskindacrap in order to fix the crashing issues. This should be good now. If it's not, I'll keep trying. Make sure you have a backup before you flash. If you ever wanted to donate to me for any of my themes, make sure you donate to thisiskindacrap or rcw95 first. Those guys have helped me a bunch. Please let me know if this new release fixes the issues that some were having.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
My GS3 is still 100% stock, I have not even installed the T-mobile pushed update yet, I keep postponing it. So I'm 100% ICS 4.0.4 stock out of the box. I've added a bunch of widgets and stuff like that, but I have not rooted.

I had been using an iPhone(s) for the last 4+ years, dabbling with the occasional Android device, until I got the GS3 from T-mobile, and getting 4G speeds is amazing, especially after being in EDGE LIMBO on the iPhone for so long.

So the core of my question is WHY ROOT. Rooting is NOT like Jailbreaking an iPhone, since it seems like I can pretty much do 99% of anything with the phone without rooting. To me, seems that rooting only offers the AdBlock feature and WiFi tether option, then the ability to flash roms - and it seems like Flashing roms on this device can introduce problems like loss of IMEI and I've seen some reports of 4G no longer working or slowing down from the stock speeds.

Forgive me, because I know iPhone chatter gets peoples blood boiling over here, but that's what I have to compare against, my experience with rooted android devices are pretty limited.

SO: Without making this message long and boring - What are the serious advantages to rooting? And is it worth it? And at the risk of sounding like a jerk, I'm not a phone noob, just an android noob. I've had smart phones for A LONG TIME, all the way back to the Nokia Symbian phones...................

Some information if anyone cares, and just in case this info influences the information.

I'm in T-mobile USA. I've got the unlimited data/1st 2Gb at 4g plan.

Stock out of the box GS3 16gb model (32gb sdcard)

Primarily a Widnows user, but my MacBook air is dual bootcamped - but I use Windows 7 99% of the time ;)

On my previous android phone (LG Thrill/optimus) which I rooted, the adblock thingy prevented me from viewing many of my emails which I do browse - like Newegg, Amazon, Groupon. They were all considered spam/ad's I guess?

I don't *THINK* having a Wifi hotspot would be something I'd ever use, but you never know.

My T-mobile plan was ancient until last year when I switched to a more modern plan that offered 4G instead of only t-zones, and I do not have the hotspot option - so I can't do hotspot without rooting (at least I think I can't)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of rooting, just wondering if there is any significant advantage? While I like the idea of flashing roms, most of the time I'm not a fan of beta testing stuff... like I heard CM10 was awesome, but apparently there were issues with the camera app not working 100% of the time........ that's not acceptable to me, especially since I have a new grandbaby and snap TONS of pictures now a days.

On another phone I had, which was a Samsung galaxy S 4g (small tiny t-mobile phone) and as I recall the LG thrill too, by modifying the build prop you could increase the hsdpa+ settings and get better data access at faster rates.......? Not sure if there is any way to get faster data speeds on the GS3?

Well, I guess that's enough for now............................. Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I found jailbreaking iOS to be pointless. But feel the opposite about rooting Android. But the thing I like the most about Android doesn't even require root; flashing new firmware. Today I'm running CM10, tomorrow I'm running AOKP. Because I can. Rooting facilitates my addiction.

If you root, Android is your playground. Titanium Backup is amazing if you like to flash new firmware (I use it differently from CWM nandroids). Root Explorer gives you total control over your file system. AdFree to block ads, as you mentioned. Terminal Emulator (all the fun commands require su). Making a fully touch-based game work with an XBox360 controller.

Maybe rooting isn't right for you. But it takes two minutes and has zero downsides. Back up your IMEI before you start flashing (Terminal Emulator > su > reboot nvbackup).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] waiters:
With root u can control things like cpu speed, and voltage table (and if you have a custom kernel you can overclock)

You can also freeze apps you don't need, access files you normally wouldn't be able to like /etc/hosts to block ads.

You can also install some fun apps that require root like dsploit and droidsheep lol

Rooting opens up your phone to do a lot more.

Not really. I've been back and forth between stock and pretty much every rom. Currently I got tired of f'ing with my phone and I'm on stock and I plan to stay there until CM10 is stable and has better battery life.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] maxcaos:
When I first got my s3 I to didn't see a huge gain in rooting since they came out with apps like Foxfi that allow wireless tethering without root and having the latest ICS was great but having the options too use titanium backup to backup all of my apps and their data and upload it to a cloud service and using other root apps like CPU sleeper and ROM tool box to under clock my CPU so I can save my battery rooting your phone is just for more convenient controls over the normal if you feel like you don't need to root then don't you still have a great phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kitsunisan:
You need some punctuation in your life.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
I've been receiving [incessant!] prompts that an OTA update was ready to install on my phone.

So - I unrooted my phone and replaced the stock recovery using this process.

Following that, I checked that I no longer had root, and booted to recovery to confirm it was the stock recovery... and then back into the phone to finally tap the "install" button when prompted.

The phone rebooted into the stock recovery, started to install the update... then, in red text - an ERROR message (that I failed to capture because after a few minutes the phone just went to an android with a red ! triangle over it).

I had to pull the battery since the buttons didn't do anything and there were no other options. The phone booted back into recovery, and then I got some sort of confirmation message in yellow text that sounded like "success", and I was still in the stock recovery.

So, I selected the "reboot" option and booted back into the phone.

All seems well (I'm still 100% stock, not rooted), but I am completely unclear if the update worked or failed.

If I go to "system update", I get messages in all four categories:

The Update Profile, Update Samsung Software, and Update Firmware all return the same error message.

How can I check the status of my device?

Any ideas what these errors indicate?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
Looking for an answer on this- either:

1) What does "Error: (Code:4)Client Authentication Error" indicate when checking for updates in the System Update category?

and/or

2) How do I check to confirm if the OTA update completed successfully?

On a side note - I'm also interested in learning what is/was in that update. The answer to 2) might help me find a thread specific to that OTA update.

Help is appreciated, thanks.
