"borked on the Rezzy"

No it's not.

Careful what you say about a phone you haven't had for like 4 months.

If you consider possible bricking not "borked" then I don't know what is.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Haven't heard of anyone bricking on Flyhalf's builds.

Seems like a lot of people are completely unaware of Flyhalf's work.

[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I used to only support phones with amon ra recovery installed. I gave them one chance when I first took them under my wing, once they changed recoveries I knew they were ready to be shoved out of the nest.

However that was before flyhalf. I've changed recoveries to TWRP because of the need for some stuff I'm using to flash from internal sdcard, and I never could get amon ra to flash from internal on my rez.

Also on some new rom builds there's an issue with amon and nandroid restores corrupting partitions that some have had so that's something you need to pay attention to in your rom threads.

I don't think the latest TWRP will wipe boot, just to address a question above unless there's been an update on that in the last few days. But that's probably a good thing for a lot of people lol. Especially users of kernels that extract the boot.img during install.

Regardless, Android is about options, and I really appreciate flyhalfs work. Since flyhalf came along I probably get about 10 less PM's per week from New users who borked something with recovery. Thank you flyhalf for the recoveries and for saving the support guys from reading so many repetitive threads.

I saw Koush ask you for your source so he could fix the official CWM to work like yours. I can't think of a bigger sign of approval.
[HTC Rezound] xzatious:
Amon ra for sure. Clean simple and reliable. I've never had a problem using it.
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
I think people who have had little or no experience with

Flyhalf

's TWRP and CWM should not be posting that AR is the best, as they cannot compare it to the competition. Furthermore, even people who have used all three extensively do not help the community by posting that AR is the best simply because it works perfectly - I have been using Flyhalf's TWRP since he released it, before which, I used Con's since he released it, and had no problems with either.

Just my two cents. And this is not addressed specifically to xzatious in any way - there have been very many posts along those lines, and his is just the latest.

Also, as pointed out before, it seems that some people are unaware of Flyhalf's work, and I think some of those people are also unaware of the fact that the developer himself has posted at least twice in this thread (as quoted above) and so remain unaware of his work.
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
I've used them all and have to say because of fly twrp IS the best...its no longer opinion... its a fact. Its 100% stable and does more than amon. Including flashing multiple zips at the same time...ar has 0 arguments now... the end.
[HTC Rezound] slacker126:
Amon RA is still by far the most reliable there is TWRP has come a long way but you can still run into occasional issues while flashing kernels and such
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
Absolutely not. Kernels flash perfectly.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Vr themes do work. They just didn't work on cons port of TWRP.

99% issues that TWRP have is because TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2.

Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary.

This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated.

Recoveries is about preference and I see it funny when guys on here telling others to NOT install CWM when the ones I put out clearly have no issues or even TWRP. :) If guys like those recoveries, then let them use it. Why tell them not to use it just because you don't like it? Why don't we just say don't use CWM 5.8.1.4 and below. I don't see anyone telling others not to use a specific ROM because it might have a glitch. I dislike AmonRa so I updated/fixed 2 recoveries that I like way better.
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
They don't know what they are missing bro. Great work. I appreciate it a lot.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
I haven't tried twrp but I heard it doesn't do vr themes? Either way I won't switch from amon because it works for me, no bugs and if it's not broken I'm not gonna fix it :p

I got my wifey phone that she wants rooted I have unlocked it one time n put meanrom on it n all it did would keep rebooting over n over idk what I did wrong n I had s-on instead of s-off maybe that's where I went wrong or the rom was trying to put on it was for the wrong hboot but if anyone can help me out this n if there is any jelly bean roms out yet that I can put on it n she running the newest ics from sprint
[HTC EVO 3D] kevin130:
AOSP ROMs wont boot on hboot 1.4. youd have to get S-Off and downgrade. Its probably not booting cuz you didnt turn smart flash on 4ext reccovery. If you dont have the recovery install it. 4ext.net Acheiving s-off is easy. Use the wire trick.
[HTC EVO 3D] galaxys3man30:
OK thx bro ibwoupd thank but im out thanks for today lol I will thank it tomorrow n but I have hboot 1.58.0000 what Rom will work for that or do I have to down grade to 1.3?
[HTC EVO 3D] kevin130:
No problem. If you want to use the latest ICS kernel that you would want to stay on 1.58. If you want AOSP ROMs then you would have to downgrade to 1.4. If you want to downgrade you are going to have to get s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] galaxys3man30:
She wants jelly bean if its out yet I've haven't really looked for yet but if I got it unlocked n s off is rooted for to do any rom I want to put on it
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Just to clarify a typo, you need a non 1.58 hboot to boot aosp jb ROMs. I recommend 1.4 as Kevin does. Have you seen ramjet's easy guide to s-off?

That depends on what ROM you want to run. Some current Sense ROM's like Viper3D and Cool ICS won't boot without the 1.58 or JuopunutBear 1.58.5858 hboot installed.

Just got the Galaxy S3 from AT&T and pretty happy with it. However, I need to encrypt the file system but don't want to deal with a tiny keyboard everytime I want to get past the lock screen. In a perfect world I could encrypt it with a password but retain the PIN unlock screen. I would settle for just PIN for encryption and lock screen. Unfortuntely I am stuck with a password to unlock it and this is just not going to cut it.

Any ideas on how to encrypt the filesytem and retain PIN unlock?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TFordham:
Ok...short history.

Had Frosty JB on my phone, but being a flash-whore, I downloaded Slimbean to try out.

Did all the usual wipes, and on the main recovery screen, instead of choosing to find the zip file, I chose Roboot. I didn't think that would cause any problem. Just go back into recovery and choose the zip file.

Uh oh....now I can't seem to get back into recovery. When I try the different button arrangements, all I do is go to the main "Samsung Galaxy S III" logo....and it never changes.

Am I f****d?

Help! I've flashed ROMs on my Vibrant a 1000 times, and was having no problems with my new SG3, and now this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Is slim an international rom?

If you can get to logo thers hope for now.

Try download mode. Hold volume down, home and power. Then press vol up when asked. Connect to pc and use Odin to flash stock firmware.

For recovery, hold volume up, home and power. When you see the blue text flash at top of screen release power but hold other two until you get recovery.

Only flash roms and mods from this forum!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Try power + home + volume up to get into recovery. Something similar happened to me where volume down + power would not let me into recovery, but the other combo would.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
Keep trying different combos for recovery or download mode, as long as it's on it should be recoverable
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
If it boots to the logo screen then it is still alive... Are you on twrp? If so then hold volume up+ Home + Power. As soon as you see the blue little letters on top left then let go of power. Once you see the logo then let go completely. Always works for me when I try to enter recovery that way. Can be tricky at times.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TFordham:
You guys are the BEST!!!!!

I thought for sure I tried all of those combinations, but I must have missed one. Got into recovery.

Put the update.zip in your internal storage. Not in a folder. Just right out there in the open.

Codeworkx and Entropy have been trying for quite some time now but Samsung has responded in a somewhat optimistic fashion. The story is in the portal if you haven't seen it yet.

I'm posting this here so we can get as many people as possible to contact Samsung via all the social media avenues we have(twitter,Facebook,google+, etc). Lets tell them what we want and the possibility that we may go with another manufacturer for our next device(I.e LG Nexus device, hopefully open source).

As am I, but Samsung needs to start giving it up. And look at how much emphasis they've placed on the whole emmc brickbug issue. They have great design and hardware elements, but if there are less devs to support the continuity and customization of these Samsung devices, then it makes all the more sense for me to jump ship. I don't like the other manufacturers, but if they are more supportive of developers in terms of code release, etc. then that's where i'll be heading. Or I might just buy a Nexus device. Samsung needs to stop being so darn stingy.

Agree with this. People are becoming more tech savvy each day, and even my dad wants ICS/JB on his phone. He is 50, but he readed on the net about the update, saw some videos and know he is looking to buy a new phone shipped with ICS that will receive the update to JB. I told him that he should buy a phone with good dev support in case he decides to root and flash rom (had to explain what that was, but he got it pretty fast). He agreed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Xander_25:
So true. One of my co-workers was a staunch Blackberry fan; when his phone tanked and he went back to our telecoms provider (the S3 had just been released), he convinced them to upgrade him to an S3 instead of replacing the dead BB with another one. Now he's complaining about the JB update taking so long, etc. , and he can't wait for his warranty to run out so he can root... lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Even my friends who mostly go for iPhones where I am (so many of them it's ridiculous) are on average more tech savvy than I usually think, but the people with Android phones more often want to learn about rooting and roming and they come to me for that and I always lead them here. So it isn't just the tech geeks now.

thats the thing... they don't NEED to do anything but provide the hardware and warranty. it doesn't matter to them, as a large corporation, if people mod the phones or not. people will still buy the hardware.

the relatively few of us that want the full support are nowhere near the amount of people that just don't care... which is exactly why (it makes me feel dirty saying it) apple can get away with phones that are nothing more than functioning paperweights compared to what we do with out phones. the masses dictate the sales, not us as a small group (in comparison).

samsung will just come out with a better version of TW to try and get people to not want full support, thats a better business model for them when you think about their users as a whole.

it's business 101, do whats best for the masses, not the few.

Exactly! Business models aside, providing documentation is such a simple thing and other manufacturers do it. If they(Samsung) really want to distinguish themselves from their competitiors(Apple) DO something that the competition doesn't(Apple's proprietary business model). Just maybe, then that niche market may matter more than you think.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CallMeAria:
Well that's the problem right there, I don't think Samsung does want to distinguish itself from Apple. It seems more like they want us to think they are just a better version of Apple (well, not us, but rather current iPhone users) . Which fits in perfect with their marketing strategy of trying to convert iPhone users to Samsung users. Once Samsung wins/loses the battle with Apple they likely adopt a different strategy.

But they just don't care about the development community as much as overall sales. Just look at how many millions of EACH flagship model they sell. Even if you took the whole xda community and assumed they all had a Samsung device it still probably wouldn't be more than a blip on Samsung's radar. The only thing on their radar is the millions upon millions of iPhone users they want to convert.

Of course it's a double edged sword. If Samsung wins that battle then the development community just moves further out of Samsung mind. If Samsung loses then the niche markets will probably be the first place they turn for more consumers.

The sad part is distinguishing themselves to a niche market won't help sell phones, it runs contrary to their profit schemes and overtaking Apple, I'm hoping they give sources as it would be good PR and improve their image which COULD lead to more sales. Providing documentation would guarantee a lot of people who have S2 on XDA would stick around, instead of buying newer phones, its not a simple choice, they might even have to worry about agreements with partners, might not be as simple as you think
