Bug report

Product the bug was found in: Sony Xperia Sola MT27i (HU, Telenor, black)

Platform: OS 4.0.4 ICS (6.1.1.B.1.10)

Severity: 'normal'; the bug makes the product unuseable for gaming purposes but does not prevent it to be used for its original purpose.

Priority: 'normal'

Summary: After I installed the ICS update I noticed that the "glove mode" is allways on in many games even when I did not unlock the screen using it, and even when the feature is completely turned off. This problem was not present in GB. The problem is mainly in 3D and other 'heavy' games like Oscura, Dead Trigger, Aralon HD, Pocket CS, and possibly more, however not present in all games, Osmos and GTA3 works fine.

Steps to reproduce problem:

- Unlock the device the normal way without glove mode

- Start any of the following games: Oscura, DeadTrigger, Aralon HD, Pocket CS

- The glove mode will be turned on inside the game

or

- Turn off glove mode in settings

- Unlock the device the normal way without glove mode

- Start any of the following games: Oscura, DeadTrigger, Aralon HD, Pocket CS

- The glove mode will be turned on inside the game

Expected outcome: The glove mode should be turned off inside the game

Actual outcome: The glove mode will be turned on inside the game

Reproducibility: allways

Comments: a reasonable solution would be a blacklist in the settings to forcefully disable glove mode and floating touch in selected installed applications.

Hi,

Sorry for all the recent posts, just got a question about the recovery menu.

I am going to flash the clockworkmod recovery menu to my s5830 but just want to know - if I want to go back to the stock recovery at any point for what ever reason, do i just flash the 'recovery.img' from any 'original firmware' download using odin?

thanks

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freshjr:
I have read and understood the guides, but from experience, you can't always just ODIN back to stock and have it work.

I found that ODIN'ing back to stock, from a rom that had voodoo lagfix enabled, seems to somewhat brick the phone. Where the after the successful ODIN flash, the install script doesn't run properly, and the phone gets stuck at a black screen.

To fix, you have to hunt down EUGENE's unbrickable rom, because for some reason, his ODIN package works and gets your phone working. Then you have flash back to stock. But EUGENE's rom is hard to find, because it is not hosted anywhere anymore.

Is there anything like this I have to watch out for when downgrading from jellybean and ICS? I haven't been around for this transition.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
As long as you have the Odin files and know what your doing, go ahead and flash.

Then if something goes wrong, we can look at the symptoms and treat it accordingly.

It should go well, if it doesn't give us a shout.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
I think you have read the misfortunes of others that probably didn't read before they flashed etc. I'm not real familiar with voodoo lagfix but I haven't heard of it causing Odin problems. And none of the ICS or JB ROMs have it. Another thing, if you are using Odin, coming back to stock from ICS or JB, you need to check the repartition box.

I will try to find Eugene's for you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
It's fairly straight forward. First flash it to stock Eclair 2.1 or Froyo 2.2

Put this temporary CWM "update.zip" into the internal storage of the phone. Also put in the rom you want to flash. (If on Froyo you might need to run the 3e_recovery_installer first.)

Boot into recovery. Depend on the bootloader its either both Volumes + Power button, or Volume Down and Power.

Flash the update.zip twice, the green CWM screen will appear.

Wipe data and cache.

Flash your the rom. You might get an error, flash it again, the general behavior is it will permanently install a new version CWM and reboot, then stuck at the logo. Remove insert the battery, boot into recovery again and you will see the new version of CWM. Flash the rom again for the third time and it will work.

*If flashing the rom don't work and it doesn't install CWM, then do incremental upgrade. First by flashing CM7, then flash CM10.

Wondering if anyone can shed some light..

I am currently rooted and using CWM for my recovery and AOKP for my ROM...

i found a thread here that has all the STOCK roms and kernals for Samsung S3.

My question is simple really..

When i flash back to the STOCK ROM and STOCK KERNAL.. would i lose my ROOT? and would i also lose Clockwork recovery?

Thanks

If you just use mskip's toolkit from the dev section, you can flash back to a stock rom and if you want/need to, you can also flash root and recovery from his tool as well after flashing back to stock.

These replies kinda confused me lol...

I don't want to use a toolkit..

I just want to flash the .zip ROM and kernel via CWM..if I do that do I loose my root and CWM?

Or do I need this mskip toolkit to accomplish this? Meaning get rid of root and CWM..

Help anyone??:crying:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asad_612:
Solution!

I had the same problem, because I had already taken the 4.0.4 update. The problem I (and I suspect the others) were having is the reboot after Odin installs the CWM. It happens so fast, there's no time to unplug the tablet and do the button dance to boot into recovery. As a result, the normal boot goes through, and runs the install-recovery.sh that Ryan79 mentioned in system/etc, restoring stock recovery.

Here's how I solved it:

1). On Odin, uncheck "Auto Reboot".

2). Install CWM6.

3). When it goes green, unplug the tablet (still in "download" screen).

4). Reboot manually into recovery (hold power + Vol. left, release power, hold vol. left until CWM screen comes up). I did this straight from the "download" screen. The tablet powered off after a few seconds of holding the power button, then came up to the samsung screen, then I released the power button and continued to hold the volume button until CWM6 loaded.

5). I installed the cwm-root-gtab2.zip file.

6). I selected YES when the "Stock Reboot Fix" question appeared.

Rebooted from recovery, Successful root! Looks to me like the "fix" simply renames the install-recovery.sh, removing the ".sh" at the end. I have now rebooted a couple of times normally, and can still access CWM6 through the buttons.

HOW TO ROOT YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII I9300

[YOUTUBE]BWupPvT5wbc[/YOUTUBE]

Step 1. Download Odin3.07 from HERE

Step 2. Power off your Galaxy S3. Then hold down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together until you see the warning screen.

Step 3. Hit Volume Up button to enter Download mode and connect a microUSB cable from your Galaxy S3 to your computer.

Step 4. Next, download GalaxyS3RootNew.zip, unzip the files and run odin3.07.exe by double-clicking on the file.

Step 5. When ODIN program opens, you should find a highlighted yellow box with a random COM number. If you don’t see this, download and install Samsung USB drivers below:

SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe

Step 6. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE, hit “PDA” button and select the file CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.

Step 7. Hit “Start” button. This will install ClockworkMod Recovery on your Galaxy S3 i9300. If you get stuck on this step, just try a different USB port.

Step 8. Once ODIN is done flashing, you will see “PASS!” in green highlighted box.

Step 9. Your Galaxy S3 will reboot once into CWM Recovery and automatically install root and Superuser app.

Step 10. Once your phone reboots, you will find an app called “SuperSU”, this is your superuser app.

Step 11. Download and install Titanium Backup app from Play Store to verify you have root, a Superuser request window should pop up.

That’s it! This should take you less than 5 minutes to do and does not affect your phone in any way but give you Superuser, root, and custom ClockworkMod Recovery.

I highly recommend you to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and make your first backup ROM at this point, which will save everything including the stock ROM, your apps and settings.

HOW TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP

[YOUTUBE]4zWSK7cO3xg[/YOUTUBE]

Step 1. We will first reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery by holding down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 10 seconds.

Step 2. Once in ClockworkMod Recovery on your rooted Galaxy S3, choose “backup and storage”.

Step 3. You will have an option to “backup” or “backup to internal storage”. The first option will backup to your microSD card while the latter to the internal storage.

Step 4. Your rooted Galaxy S3 should now be backing up. Backing up ROM takes 5-10 minutes so go ahead and get your cup of coffee and come back.

HOW TO RESTORE FROM A BACKUP

[YOUTUBE]-1riGc59vYE[/YOUTUBE]

Step 1. To restore ROM, simply use the same “backup and restore” menu then choose “restore” or “restore from internal sdcard” depending on where you backed up your ROM.

That was easy right?

So, don’t delay and make a backup ROM if you just rooted your phone, you will thank me later and save yourself time and headache when things go wrong.

3 times is a little overkill don't ya think? In fact I remember seeing a ROM thread in the development section waaay back in the first few weeks of launch and a dev had in his set of instructions to wipe and factory reset 3 times before flash. A moderator made him change it because it was unnecessary to wipe that many times and stated that it would cause issues... what exactly, I can't remember but it sounded legit. Just my 2 cents :o

But.. great reference guide! :)

Good guide for the Noob and to refresh if have a brain drain..

One thing that could be added is the difference between saving backups to "Internal SDcard (Memory)" verses "Ex-SDcard" As how many times have we forgotten this important element and done a full wipe and to find we have lost our backups..

Personally I always have a feely new backup put out to my NAS so that I have it encase of such cases.

shouldnt we use triangle away ?
[Galaxy S III General] Nick Fury:
You maybe could if you wanted.

Ive never used it but from what ive read if you mess up while using triangle away it could do damage to your device.

This is why i havnt used it and so would be unfair for me to add it when ive not tested it.

If i find a simple syep by step guide and i successfully use it myself then i will be adding it
[Galaxy S III General] georgeskhater:
So i understand that i can go back to stock without using triangle away even if i had flash a custom rom previously?
[Galaxy S III General] Nick Fury:
Yeah of course you can.

The only reason to use triangle away is to reset the flash counter back to zero.

The reason this would be good is if you needed to send your phone back to Samsung for any reason as they would not see that you have flashed anything on manually.

But yes you can always go back to stock unrooted without triangle away.

Hope this helps

Hi all. I'd like some detailed information on the significance of unlocking your bootloader or leaving it locked prior to flashing a new ROM or kernel to a recently rooted GT I9300. I have read in various places that it does need to be locked and in some places that it doesn't.If anyone has credible info can they please post the link here. I may add that EZ unlock was used without verifying if the boot loader was unlocked or locked which led to the phone going straight to the download mode screen . Managed to recover back through CWM but now trying to ascertain whether to flash or not and what possibly could be the reason for this behaviour.
