[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polo79:
Thanks to you as well. Ok. The instructions are a little sparse. I have a small netbook currently running ubunto, I could use that? Also, I would root with regaw and htc method and then use netbook for rest of instructions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] popper668:
read the first post in the thread, it does work just follow the instructions. :o
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polo79:
OK. I got rooted with regawmod, then was successful in the downgrade to 1.12 hboot. Now I am stuck on trying to RUU to 2.13 from 1.22. I keep having it fail on updating though RUU. Is there any other way to get that done? Can I just flash Fresh 5.1.1? Or am i not able to because i'm not S-off???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Y don't u just do the lazypanda s-off now since you are stock. U don't need fresh rom to do it. The new base is installed when u install a new rom on the new base. Just flash radios separately which u can do once s-off or just being on 1.12 I believe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polo79:
Yeah but the instructions state to not do it with 1.22 (what i'm currently on) and only to do it with 1.13. Or am i mistaken?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Why would you downgrade hboot and then run ruu to install the latest hboot? If you downgraded to 1.12 you should have no problem running lazy panda. Am I missing something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polo79:
On unlimited's site it says the rom requirements to run lazy panda is 1.13 RUU. I was confused on that as well but it hasn't been successful. I'm currently 1.12 hboot with 1.22 software version. So at this point just run the lazy panda?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Someone in mac's development thread stated they were able to run lazy panda on 1.12. You should ask about it in that thread and see if anyone can help
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] popper668:
i ran it out of the box no RUU just ran it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Was that you that mentioned it then? I was having a hard time remembering who mentioned it lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polo79:
WHOO HOO! I'm S-Off!!! Ok am I finally ready for customer roms etc and I guess i need to flash radios of course.

edit: Thanks guys!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:

Hey Guys!

Does anybody know if / how i can remove the HTC-RUU Update and root/S-off the Phone again to change to a Custom Rom or to Stock Gingerbread Rom?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Not on the phone in your signature - this is the Desire S (Saga) forum, not the Desire (Bravo) one.
[HTC Desire S] stef2287:
Hey SimonTS, thanks for your Reply. I know that this is the Saga Forum.

Sorry I didn't describe the Problem in the first Threat accurately . I own a Desire (Bravo) (as it is in the signature)

The Problem I have is related to the Desire S of my girlfriend. She has installed the RUU update and is not being happy with it. Since I have not dealed with the saga, I wanted to ask if it's possible to remove the update. As far as I know the bootloader will be changed while the update. Is it possible to unlock it?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I'd suggest you have a read through the Index Sticky first.

There should be no reason at all why you can't downgrade her phone, put a Custom ROM (either GB, ICS or JB) on it etc etc - but how you do it will all depend on the current state of the phone of course.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madzyadzy:
Hi Guys

So, to start off I'm new to android. I was an owner of iDevices for 3 years and only 4 days ago made the decision to purchase a galaxy S3. I'm loving the new learning experience and messing with Android and this BEAST hardware!

Here's my question though. I currently own a MacBook pro and want to root this S3. When rooting an android device is a new ROM automatically installed or is the stock ROM just modified to allow root access? I Like the TouchWiz interface and don't want to change the appearance of my device (just yet anyway). I just want to be able to perform root-only tasks.

An answer would be much appreciated! :laugh:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkbishop:
I am hoping somebody can assist me with my Galaxy SII phone. I attempted to root it this morning and was able to connect it to Odin3Excution V1.81. The main title shows "E4GT FI27 Stock No Data". Once I connected the cell phone it generated a 0:[COM4] message. It went through all the steps but got stuck on the very last one (I believe it is the very last one) <ID:0/004> modem.bin. After waiting approximately 30 minutes, I disconnected the phone and turned it off. Once it turned in, it gave the following message "Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".

I attempted to get into recovery mode by using all possible button combinations (volume down and power), (volume up/down and power) but I still get the same message. I started Odin again and connected the phone and it went through the same load steps but it is once again stuck on <ID:0/004> modem.bin. So at this point of time I am not sure if it is a matter of just waiting for this step to clear (however I have been 45 minutes patient and it never gets past it).

Can someone lend me a helping hand to get this issue resolved? Thanks in advance and I appreciate any assistance that can be provided. I have included an image of where I am currently stuck.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matcarroll:
Hi. Hope you can help me with something which is really annoying me.

Got my s3 right at the beginning on o2 with o2 firmware. When making phone calls the reception was crystal clear. I have updated various different versions of ics and jb and ever since the first update a few months ago the reception/radio quality has been poor. It started when I flashed a non o2 firmware, I flashed a stock btu firmware. Since then I have tried various firmwares on various providers and always have the same problem. If I change my phone to gsm only the call quality is fantastic but as soon as I put to auto it sets to hsdpa and goes back to poor call quality, even if I have a full bar for reception. I have since changed the csc to btu on phone and flashed various firmwares again and I still have the problem. I cannot have a £500 phone and be forced to use a 2g signal!

If it was poor from day one I would blame o2 reception but I have lived in this house for 7 years and never had this with other phones, also as said this phone was great originally but after flashing various firmwares it's rubbish now. I am currently using the new o2 jb update released today (my phone csc is btu) I hoped this flash would resolve issue but it hasn't.

Hope this makes sense and hope anyone can give me any tips to resolve my problem! Current signal strength 89dBa 12asu and still poor.

Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same problem however I am on the 3 network. My phone was working perfectly, then I installed the latest 3 branded jellybean ROM, had the exact same problem as you reverted back to stock ICS and the problem is still there. Can you tell me is the bad quality call both ways or just one way? For me it can hear people perfectly well, however the receiving end there is very bad quality. Also my Internet is incredibly slow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matcarroll:
Mine is the other way round, who I speaking to can hear me clearly but it's terrible from my end.

I have used Odin to flash a whole o2 Rom by clicking the pda option but it made no difference. Doesn't matter what stock Rom I flash and change the csc and factory reinstall it won't go back to how it was originally. As mentioned I can resolve the problem by using 2g/gsm network but then using the internet is terribly slow. Should have left it alone!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matcarroll:
My phone was originally o2u csc on o2 firmware and was good.flashed a btu firmware and this made it bad reception so flashed back to o2 firmware and it was very poor still so I flashed back to the btu firmware and changed csc to btu but I still have bad call quality. I presume because I flashed a o2 firmware from sammobile it will be back to a o2 modem?

My 3g data is about 4mb down and 2mb up.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dev.karayi:
I have tried many AOSP roms (actually mostly all of them) for i9100g (cyanogen was first ) and the major reason i did not stick to any of them for long time was because of the bad support for hardware accelerated Video play.

Most of the videos play on stock rom without any problem out of the box

Has this issue been addressed or can it be addressed ?

Is there any developer who can look into this??

This would help me and many others to permanently transition to the better performing AOSP roms.

I am a die hard fan of AOSP and wanting to know whether this has been fixed in any of the roms.

Since cyanogen and AOKP seem to be the base for most of roms for my device, i request them to fix it. Others will be fixed automatically.

To try to fix the upper useless post:

"The device serial number (as reported by 'adb devices') appears to be set in the kernel, under arch/arm/plat-s5p/devs.c (look for 'device_serial'). This may be different for your device, I'd suggest a grep through the kernel sources for the device ID that is reported by adb devices. Change the string, rebuild the kernel and flash it on...

Looks to be different on ICS by the way..."

edit: you need a dev to give you an answer. If adb uses s/n to verify the phone, and it does, rom dependables wouldn't be a surprise.

Have you tried to play a bit in adb?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
So I want to go back to stock to try to flash the leaked official TW-JB for Bell using this guide http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-ota-update-leaked-for-bell-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747m/ . However I have a few things I need to fix. Firstly I flashed KT747 which says I need to revert back to the stock kernel so that the drivers reset. Do I flash the kernel before I odin back to stock firmware? And also my main concern is will this guide work? I tried it once a while ago and it said there was an error during install (Error 7 I believe). It might've been because I was still using a kernel from my previous rom, my mistake. Thanks for the help!

EDIT**** READ

The Update in the link provided (not firmware) is broken! I have found another version instead and it works! http://www.hotfile.com/dl/171511232/8603d3c/SGH-I747M_I747MVLALI-OTA-I747MVLALH_BMC_325174257.zip.html

USE That, thanks would be appreciated though I doubt many people will view this thread. It was Error6 before but now it flashed fine no problems. Did not have to revert back because firmware contained kernel and reverted Wifi and BT drivers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ATS2:
Check the OP for KT747. Ktoonsez has a link towards the bottom of the OP that gives you a download you can flash to restore the drivers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Every official firmware i've flashed (all Samsung) has contained a kernel, i wouldn't expect this one to be any different so chances are the 4.0.4 .tar contains the official kernel at the time of its release. It wouldn't hurt anything to flash it before hand although more than likely it will be overwritten by an updated kernel (possibly the same one) in the 4.1.1 .tar anyhow. The status 7 errors come from using an unsupported recovery version in my experience, try updating your recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
The method suggests using the default recovery :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
I only suggest that if you were going to flash the stock kernel before you used odin to flash the stock .tar's. My point was the odin flashes of OEM firmware should (in all my years with android they have) format and flash the system, cache, boot and recovery partitions including the kernel with official software, the only exception being the data partition in some cases. In all likelihood you will have to format this on your own after the flash via factory reset in the stock recovery due to a boot loop, though this is by no means guaranteed. Worst case it doesn't flash the stock kernel and you get stuck at the boot logo and have to flash the kernel manually, which will work from the 3e recovery providing it is the OEM signed update.zip. I would put this chance at less than 5% however as these official .tar's are what Samsung distributes to licensed repair centers, which also happens to be where the majority of the leaks come from.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
Everything was running fine. On first install it did get stuck on bootloop but then factory reset/data wipe solves problem.

Nice comparison/Review dude ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Iron Doktor:
Nice comparison Gerhard.

I haven't had a chance to play with a Note 2 yet, however the biggest thing that would put me off upgrading is the lower screen resolution. It may be slightly bigger, but the drop in res and aspect ratio is disappointing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Shrink:
I see no compelling reason to upgrade either. Happy to wait for the next generation Note or whatever other wondrous thing Samsung or Google have to offer in a year or so.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Koguchi9:
Nice comparison.. Once the note 1 gets the JB update we will then get a true sense of how much an update the note 2 is.

Also you didn't talk about the aspect ratio. Personally 16:9 is only great for videos... Everything else 16:10 is a large improvement.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andrekua:
There are some minor differences. Hovering in Note 1 does nothing, but if you hover long enough with Note 2, it will load the menu. While I'm not sure whether it is configurable, the hovering works better in Note 2 due to its higher sensitivity. You have to hover near to the screen with Note 1 but with Note 2, it was at least twice the distance (or possibly more, I did not measure).

The rest would have to rely on how much updates Samsung are willing to provide for Note 1 Jelly Bean updates.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
As a Note 1 user for a year, and having now had my Note 2 for a few weeks, I can say that for my usage patterns, which are quite heavy, the Note 2's battery life blows the Note 1's out of the water.

Put simply, on my Note 1, I would regularly get 5 to 6 hours worth of screen-on time on my phone from a single charge, whereas on my Note 2 is is more like 9 to 10 hours screen-on - that is in excess of a 50% improvement and means I haven't ever felt the need to carry around a 2nd

battery with my Note 2 (even though I have a couple) whereas I would not leave home without a spare for my Note 1.

I was never unhappy with the battery life on my Note 1, but on my Note 2 the battery life is quite literally epic in comparison! :)

The only thing I honestly miss about my Note 1 is the 16:10 aspect ratio, because I do use remote desktop and Citrix apps from time to time on my phone, and you do miss those extra 80 pixels in that scenario. However, in every other respect, the Note 2 is a vastly superior device to the Note 1, and I loved my Note 1! (Technically, I still love it as I've kept it as a backup device!)

Dave
