Woah I definitely wouldn't use rom manager.. That has been known to cause bricks.. If i was you I would make sure you have a good download of that miui rom by checking the MD5

Odin or mobile Odin the el26 kernel from the kernel repository

Boot straight into recovery afterwards

Wipe everything

Flash rom

So I just restored a Nandroid backup from earlier today. I am using LiteRom 0.5. I did a backup so I could flash and test the Dev preview of CM10. The backup and restore were both successful, but when I boot up, I get these messages such as "unfortunately, Google Play has stopped". And it's not just Google Play, it's Talk, Messaging, Camera, Clock, etc. I also have no data, even with data on and a wifi connection. Can someone point me into the right direction?

Nevermind, I just ended up flashing a new ROM.

the flash counter tells Samsung if you've been flashing custom software if you ever need warranty repair.

An app

Is there really any reason to be afraid of this and to avoid it by all means? From what I can understand there is a way to reset the counter to 0 so it does not seem to be a threat, but again I cannot be sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Not really. Its mostly just personal preference at this point.

I still use the root66 fw though because I flash and experiment so often I wind up needing odin eventually. Figure if ive got to odin, I may as well use the pre-rooted fw.

Some say the toolkit is easier, but as long as you know the steps, it doesn't get much safer than flashing stock with odin. Not at all difficult either.

But if your bootloader is unlocked just install a custom rom. Most are pre-rooted anyway. Seems like a better way than just rooting.

Hello. I just switched my recovery to TWRP and i wiped my cache/ dalvik/ factory reset my phone, in preparation to flash some ROMs. So i tried flashing several ROMs and they either ended up failing or it claims to be successful and when i try to boot up it bootloops the htc splash screen. So i'm stuck on recovery since I can't even boot into a ROM. I need help!! I have S-On and i'm unlocked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Six6tring:
It seems like TWRP has always been wonky on the Evo. It was even bricking them on version 2.1 I think. My advice would betoswitch to the smelkus mod version of Amon RA. It has never done me wrong.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
I never had an issue when I used to run TWRP 1.0. Having said that, I've been running Smelkus recently and haven't looked back. You might try switching recoveries and running the superwipe function and wiping the Dalvik cache in Smelkus before and after you flash a ROM and see if that clears things up. You can do a search on XDA for Smelkus recovery to find the OP and download link.

Just curious, though. What ROM are you trying to flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zin0:
Thanks, I got it flashed.

I've tried several ROMs like Nitrous, Blackbean, Team Dirt's ICS 4.0.4 ROM and the RemICS ROM, DigitalKarma, MokeeOS, and Holo. I just finished switching recoveries so everything

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evilone69tmg:
If your not sure. Then it ain't. Go here to see how to Partition your SD Card. Most Roms have A2SD baked in and not having your card partition will cause issues.

Are there anyone here coming directly from SGN v1, who will share their experiences with regards to the differences between v1 and the new Note II? :) Is it worth getting? :)

the difference is great and yes its worth getting. its a huge improvement in everything.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChimpNippl3s:
I swapoed fron note1

Note 2 is smoother

Quicker

More fun

Better spen if you use it!!!

Better sound quality and deeper base

Jb is smooth as butter even on stock rom

Screen is better but I can tell its smalker width wise albeit a few mm

Im personally pleased I upgraded altho it isnt a major upgrade as toi me my note1 was and still is a quick and nice phone after putting on custom rom

You would still be happy to upgrade tho and pleased you did!!!

Note 3 got a **** load to live up2 lol

Oh yeah and solit screen multiwindows is cool 2

And this is all b4 the devs create even more magic than they are doing now

Get it get it get it GET it :)

Also come from original Note and only the immense battery capacity is already worth the trip! (Running for over 16 hours now, 4+ hours screen time, battery at 47%...)

After that everything else is bonus: speed, Jelly Bean smoothness, big memory, etc., etc., etc.

Go for it, you'll be in another dimension :)

Only thing I regret a bit is that with the thinner screen, there's only 4 icons on a row instead of 5 but after a bit of screen rearranging everything is fine.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweetPAIN225:
Hey, talking about battery life, I have a couple of screenshots to illustrate it. It is way faster than the NOTE1, if you compare both on stock. S Pen is better integrated but only works with Samsung apps. Everything else is integrated. From bluetooth 4.0 to NFC and WIFI direct. I do find the screen of the NOTE1 better, but I guess it is something subjective as most people think the exact opposite.

In the other hand, you no more have the opportunity to copy apps on the external SD so depending of your usage you should bear that in mind. Plus, and this I believe has more to do with JB than Samsung, there is no more UMS support. For windows users it is barely noticeable, but for mac users like me, it is hell!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AviatorBobo:
Dear SweetPain,

Thank you for your post :) i have also read elsewhere that its not possible to port apps with the sd card :) this initially led me to believe that the Note2 does not support sd cards... But this doesnt seem to be the case? :)

In anycase, its not a concern for me! I dont have that many progames and games installed... When I log on the phone with my gmail account, it will automatically download and install my 20-30 programmes... In 10 minutes it will be ready to go! :)

Atleast this is what I am hoping for...

Refurb certified like new S3 that i never used , just turned on, looked at it then off again.

I have the back cover and hyperion nfc battery with no box or charger

I having issues getting 350 for it , swappa, and craigs

Not posting it on XDA bec i dont know how to do it lol

But am i asking for too much ?

Thanks in advance for your input
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jimbo12484:
Its not an unreasonable price but having the box would def be a plus in your favor . People tend to like to have all the original packaging when buying a phone if u lowered ur price by 50 u should sell it, craigslist is ur best bet for sale, start high until u get you asking price . Hope this helped ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
I sold my Sprint gs3 that was six weeks old for 275.00. I was really disappointed in that price case I wanted 350.00 but it depends on your area. My area has been hit hard with the economy so in order to sell it had to go low. I was asking 350.00 for almost 2 weeks with no one interested. I lowered it to 300 and the highest offer I got was 275.00. Good luck with it. U might get 350.00 but you'll be holding it a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I don't think that's too much.

I had someone interested in mine for $425 but mine was brand new with accessories and box. I decided not to sell, but if I can get $425 for mine you should be able to get 350 for yours.

If i sold my gs3 i wouldnt take anything under $350 for it.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neverendingxsin:
I've got my old thunderbolt rooted running thundershed 1.6 CM7, my friend needs a phone to use for a few days until the new battery for her droid incredible 2 comes in. Am i able to just swap out the sim cards and activate her number on the phone without unrooting? I'd rather not have to go through all that hassle if its only going to be for a few days. Any help quickly would be appreciated :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I don't know if activating on cm7 is possible but you can activate the phone while it is rooted. Maybe make a nandroid backup and switch to a stock sense rom to activate the phone and restore back afterwards. You will need the new sim and you will need to have them call Verizon to activate the sim. Do not dial *228 it can screw a thunderbolt up big time.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neverendingxsin:
Thanks for the quick response :) I figured i probably couldn't on CM7 but wasn't sure since i've never had to do this before lol. Does her getting a sim cost any money or is it simply just going to verizon and asking for one? I ask because her current phone is an Incredible 2 with a verizon vodafone sim card in it right now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
No that kind of sim is different. That is a GSM sim. The thunderbolt needs an lte sim. You can order them over the phone through customer service which is what I do. Usually takes two days if you get them during the week. If you order on a Friday you'll get it on Monday. If you get one from the store make sure it is a corporate Verizon store or they will try to charge you for it. I say it is better to do it over the phone yourself because at the store the rep is going to want to handle your phone and if you don't want them to know it is rooted then I wouldn't suggest that unless you just don't care.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyco2008:
But really they don't care, hell they're either afraid to root or root themselves (speaking from lots of experience), but they don't like make a note of it and damn your warranty.

They also have no idea that you can unroot and make it look as though you never rooted.... boy.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Although all this is true it is still not worth the risk. They can note your account though and when you try getting a warranty replacement charge you hundreds of dollars for a replacement when they see you don't have one. I have heard of people that were charged after sending a phone in for warranty replacement and they noticed it was rooted.

Probably redundant to ask, but which ROM and did you full wipe? It could also possibly be a battery problem; perhaps try another ROM and see if the same issue comes up.

it was just the cm9 nightly. there was nothing else on it but webOs. it was brand new, took it out the box, installed cm9 nightly, gapps. other than than i didnt do anything else to it. when at the slide to unlock, the screen shuts itself off after maybe 15 seconds and i'm assuming goes into a low power state. i'm kind of wondering if that low power 'trigger' is what is causing the reboot. its never happened to my other touchpad.. its really strange

Oh how I envy you. I uninstalled Android, formatted my touchpad, loaded it up in WebOS Doctor and security wiped everything. Then I reinstalled android and immediately cleared the caches and did a backup. From the backup, no matter what ROM I install (all the latest versions), I get random reboots all the F$&#-ing time. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do. Minimum and maximum CPU values don't alleviate the problem. It's frustrating beyond belief.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You should try deleting and remaking the media partition, where android is stored, through novaterm. Then webos doctor it, and reinstall android. No matter what ROM I used to have a scratchy sound from the speakers with the screen off until I did that, and now it has not happened since. It might help your RR problem. I know even acme uninstaller doesn't clean everything!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x000x:
hm. i've never fiddled with novaterm before, is it related to novacom? would just running webos doctor work just as well? i'm thinking i'll just start from a clean slate. even use new cm9 downloads etc.
