[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Well the one in the marketplace may work fine for you but everyone else who has tried version 1.4 has posted so many messages because it didn't truly unlock their phone and gave them a soft brick. The reason it may work for you is because the dev finally fixed it. I just know that there have been numerous threads of people getting soft bricks from version 1.4.

As for Liquid, it is their spin off of CM10. There are a few notable differences but I honestly don't know how to describe them properly, you would just have to flash it and mess with it yourself.

I agree completely about CM10 being buggy as hell, I personally don't care for it but without it we wouldn't have half of the roms we do.

The upside to Liquid, PA, and some of the other offshoots is that the devs over them are busting their ass to get all the kinks worked out, and from my testing they are better than CM10 bug wise. Everyone's phone is different though and something that works for me will not work for someone else. For instance I can successfully over clock my phone to 2.1Ghz where a lot of people can go above 1.7 or 1.9 without losing stability.

As for you question about PA, I thought there was a setting to get rid of the double menu, but I just took a quick look and couldn't find it. I very well may have overlooked it though, as I said it was just a quick look. You could try googling it or asking in the PA thread and seeing if anyone can point you in the right direction.

Check the PA thread for the answer - go into PA settings, go to the app settings, find the settings app in there and hit reset. My guess is that it is a bug with the current version of the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GoodVibrant-ions:
So what ROM did you end up using? Any that you'd recommend?

Greetings,

I was wondering if I download some of the OTA firmwares from sammymobile.com and install it on my SIII I9300 would I still be able to get automatic software updates on my SIII (Settings>About phone> Software updates)

To be more precise, currently I am on stock 4.0.4, and I have seen that sammymobile have OTA firmware 4.1.1 for my mobile provider(HR VIP, Croatia) but it also says it is still unofficial.

Not that I care much for those automatic updates or stock firmwares but this really intrigues me.

Thank You all in advance for your answers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
No because your device status will change from "normal" to "modified"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] art_arev:
There is official 4.1.1 for Croatia. Not sure if it is your service provider or not. As long as your phone is not carrier locked you can use this one. Or you can use a firmware for any of your neighbouring countries

Cheers

Hello Good people of xda forum

please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.

My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.

My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.

My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.

I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.

I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.

I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.

Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?

My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.

I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.

Thanks all.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suicidal Chicken:
There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.

I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.

I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng.rego:
Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

same problem after chainfire install

i have exactly the same problem as you. i rooted my phone and after installing chainfire from android market the phone does not get past the logo screen.hard reset,recovery nothing works. can you please tell me the method you used to recover the phone and maybe a link to the factory rom or files that i need to download. people say one has to flash the rom, but how exactly does one do that. big help please. my phone is from india.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeway82:
Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896696

Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.

Download also the odin files included in that first post.

Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can

easily find them.

Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).

Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you

see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.

Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.

Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.

A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.

Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.

From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.

There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.

If you any further questions, just ask.

Good luck.

Hy there. I need some help. I upgraded my phone month ago to 4.0.3 and it is an official rom...(I used Odin because I had the same problem) I don't really know what to do with kies but it says upgrading not supported via kies... my binary counter is on 1. But when I want to upgrade my phone in the software update option in the settings (using wifi) it says that there are no updates. I KNOW 4.0.4 IS OUT. Some informations..:

Model number: GT-I9100

Android version: 4.0.3

Badeband version: I9100XXLPQ

Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505

se.infra@SEP-94 #3

Build number: IML74K.XXLPQ

It's important for me because I want to stay at official roms and I want to use kies to get OTA updates. It's easier..I think.

Please Help!

Thanks. I'm downloading the new rom. But in Hungary it says only 4.0.3 is available... but it's newer than mine so... i try it. I hope kies will work after this process. Should I do a factory data reset or it's not important?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeMoM&aVirusTI:
No don't need to wipe data ...your just updating from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4

When installing totally different releases...ex ICS to JB ... then you would wipe everything

If you had Kies & all required Samsumg / Android drivers working properly ....then it updated to Kies 2 ....then you can try uninstalling all Samsung /Android drivers on your system & then reinstall using Kies 2 engine.....that may resolve the detection issue
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeMoM&aVirusTI:
Check out Tsar3000.com also .....but I took a look for you ....Hungry 4.0.4 isn't available yet

...so just keep checking Tsar3000 ...they will have it soon ... ..If you don't get Kies fixed by then

Either someone wants to sell him a rom or he wants to sell one - cant see any other reason for asking that particular question... jus my thoughts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Yea seriously.

As far as selling roms goes, you can. BUT it's seriously frowned upon. Though it helps if you built the ROM from the ground up. When I had my Epic 4g, team Bonsai left the xda forums and stopped uploading their work for whoever wanted it. They instead made their own website/forum and sold it there. A lot of people didn't like this move but it made sense to me. Building a ROM from the ground up along with your own kernel is not easy at all. That takes a lot of work. They chose to lose all the xda baggage (noobs, douchebag mods, ect) and charge for their work. But this also meant that their supporters would always have timely updates and the best support. And they had a lot of supporters. The bonsai ROMs were badass.
