[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kobrax:
I used the toolkit. Complete root newbie 3 days ago, I now have ROM Omega v28 running Jellybean 4.1.1 flashed siyah kernel, switched my sd card with my 32gb ext card so now I have much more space for storing apps and games and over clocked device to make it run faser

Flashed a fair few mods so my s3 looks ace and performs like a dream

Root using the toolkit 5.0 as in the post above it only took about 5 mums and that was only because I was really slow and cautious.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliteBlitzer:
Would i be able to install Cyanogen mod if i root it with toolkit?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kobrax:
Yes you would. The method you use to root is just that, a method to give you the super user access you need to do all the weird and wonderful things you can do with a rooted device.

Once rooted, using the toolkit will install clockwork mod recovery on your device and you would use this to flash the ROM of your choosing. It takes just a minute or so to flash the ROM too, I was surprised and pleasantly so at how quick and easy it all was.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliteBlitzer:
Argghh, is there any full guide on how to root, install jelly bean then flash the cyanogen mod?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kobrax:
I used the following you tube guide.

Just don't worry about the toolkit versions being different its just been updated since then

It literally takes minutes..

Watch the video a few times over like I did though.. And the toolkit tells you what to do next.. It's all very clear.

Once done, install root checker and it will confirm if you are rooted

With the ROM I don't think you need to install JB, the ROM should be ICS or JB and come included with the ROM

I was determined to go with CyagenMod but I went for Omega.. So glad I did...

Ok that YouTube link

Once rooted to flash a ROM you just save the ROM zip file to the SD card

Boot into recovery (power button, home button and volume up) and just choose the option 'install from SD card' find the ROM zip file, confirm the install and sit back and let it do its thing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliteBlitzer:
I have successfully rooted my device, thanks for all the people that helped me root it. Now, should i go for omega or cyanogenmod? Cyanogen does look nicer to be honest.

Hey a little help here. I have this issue right now (stuck on samsung logo) after trying to root with Odin. I am following the directions on another post to go back to the official firmware but i'm having a problem locating the S/N. This is a replacement phone i got out of warranty last week. I was able to root/unroot my old phone but that was still in GB b/c I didn't update it due to the bugs in ICS. Well this one already had ICS and now I'm having a ****load of problems.

The only numbers I see on the phone behind battery is the

IMEI

SKU

FCC ID

Where do I find the S/N to put into keis so I can go back to the official firmware?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Is it not under the IMEI bar code on the sticker under the battery?

Should see S/N then a number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PiercedWithAttitude:
No it's not there :(

All it has is

Model: SGH-1717

IMEI: ######/##/#####/#

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
And I take it you received no box with the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PiercedWithAttitude:
No because it was an exchange from the warranty device center b/c the last one stopped charging. All I received was a new handset and battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Thats weird. Maybe cuz it's a refurb they removed the serial number from the sticker? Can you get into recovery to restart the phone?

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Once the phone is operational, you can find the serial number in settings, about phone, status.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PiercedWithAttitude:
if i do so by pressing the vol up + on button and releasing the power button when the screen comes on then No i can't. It just stays on samsung logo again.

I can still enter into download mode though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Try holding power, and vol up and vol down until it vibrates. Then release power but still hold up and down. See what happens then.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnrippa:
I can clear this up for you OP.

The problem is that the PDA.tar you flashed was intended for rooting gb and not ICS. To fix this we need to install the proper kernel.

So

Step 1: enter download mode by holding power and the volume down button until it vibrates and release power. It will prompt you to hit volume up to entry download mode. Do so.

Step 2: flash CWM using Odin just as you would have in the original instructions.

Step 3: with the phone powered down remove your external SD card. Take it to a computer or do whatever device necessary to move one of our ICS rooted kernels from dev section onto the external sd. Dagr8 or flapjaxx is fine. If you don't have an external.....get one

Step 4: put the SD card back in the phone and boot into CWM recovery. Flash the kernel zip. Wipe system, cache, dalvik and reboot. Enjoy your note again OP

Step 5: download ROM manager and update CWM. Flash away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PiercedWithAttitude:
Thank you very much. IM going to.find the necessary files and do that tonight
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnrippa:
If you have the device running again then no need to remove the SD card. Download right from the phone but do everything else.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzuneoj:
Well, I've been playing around with a different kernel\ROM setup using my old 4Gb class 4 card, and I'm not having any sdcard errors at all. I'll keep messing with it, but it seems to be stable this way. If it works like this for a while I'll try putting the other card back in to see if it brings on the errors. If so, I'll just have to give up trying to use this card on this phone.

Ice Cream Pureness + LuPuS is fantastic... but I don't seem to have any signal and the baseband is "unknown". It doesn't really matter right now because I have no service, but this is a bit worrying...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
We had confirmed reports class 10 doesnt work on the xperia play. No changing the kernel doesnt make the difference. You need to know the difference between the read and write speeds of the sdcard because class 10 serves a different purpose (digital cameras/video recorder). Otherwise you've been gyped. You need class 6 and below sd cards.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzuneoj:
UHS-1 is different than just standard Class 10. It is a new rating for high speed writing AND reading. Speed really should not be an issue with this card. I just ran CrystalDiskMark on the 32Gb Sandisk Ultra and the 4Gb GSkill Class 4 card and these are the results:

Speed wise the cards are very similar, except that the Class 10 has significantly higher sequential AND random write speeds (random writes are very important for running apps from the card). The Class 4 is a bit faster with the 4kb reads (in MB\s and IOPS) with a queue depth of 1, but I would hope that a 25% difference in read speed in one situation wouldn't completely disable the Android OS and cause data corruption. Its still faster than the random read speed you'll find on many cards.

So, if it isn't a lack of random read\write speed, what is it? The Class 10 designation alone doesn't somehow make a card incompatible... its just a symbol on the package.

Is there any electrical difference between a faster card and a slower one that would make the faster one incompatible with this phone? Maybe its TOO fast, even though the UHS-1 cards are advertised as being made for tablets and smart phones?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzuneoj:
Well, after seeing that the LuPuS+Ice Cream Pureness combo was stable with my 4Gb card, I put the 32Gb in and after a while I did get the mmc errors again while copying files. I really feel that I've tried everything at this point, aside from formatting the card with an EXT file system and making it unreadable on my computer.

I still don't understand why a card would be incompatible like this if the read and write speeds are good enough and the card has no physical problems.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzuneoj:
Okay, I've made a discovery on another forum:

http://maemo.org/community/maemo-users/n900_microsd_card_i-o_errors_and_corruption/

This is exactly the problem I'm having, and they fixed it on an n900 by editing the DTO (data time-out I think) settings in one of the driver files for the sdcard controller. Basically, some drivers try to tell the memory controller to change this setting dynamically to determine the "optimal" setting for each SD card... where as, any card will apparently work with a standard setting anyway (maybe there is some performance or power benefit to adjusting this). The problem is, changing this setting dynamically is apparently problematic with many high speed cards, resulting in a timing problem and data corruption.

I guess its a fairly common problem with various handheld devices...

http://talk.maemo.org/archive/index.php/t-72789.html

My question is, does anyone have the means and the knowledge to see if the Xperia has a similar setting like this in its drivers? I only have a basic knowledge of programming and zero experience with linux kernel programming... so, if anyone finds a possible solution and attempts to make a fix for it, I'd be willing to test it. In the mean time, if I can find some kernel source files (doomkernel's CDMA source link is broken) I'll try digging around a bit myself. I have no idea how to compile though, even if I do find a similar setting.

Also, it'd be really nice to be able to post this topic in the development forum, but I'm still working my way up to 10 posts...
