I tried posting on Rootzwiki but looks like ya shifted to this forum haha, I tried to get my phone to not vibrate in regular volume mode and it constantly vibrates on text and calls even though it is unselected and also the "help text" under lockscreen is unchecked yet it is continuously coming back. Any experience or advice on this?

Thanks.

anyone having problems when using gmail app? my phone is freezing up and need to reset

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
For the vibration I think you have to check the settings of the actual app you're using to make sure Vibrate is off or not select.

I hope you restarted your phone after the counter reset. It took me a few tries to get the Allshare Cast dongle to connect properly, it's kind of buggy and you have to "catch it" at the right connect moment or it doesn't work. Try with Allshare Cast option off first, when the red light is blinking on the dongle press the reset button until it turns blue, then turn on Allshare Cast on the phone and have it connect. After a few tries I was able to get it working. The Triangleaway app was the first that helped me though, if the counter isn't 0 it won't work for sure.

I redownloaded VRBLJ1 Download #8 from Link 1 and I do not get the MD5 error.

Please download and run this MD5 checker: Link Here

Make sure the MD5 is C0AEA189C9F870BBEDC26D99810DCEA4.

Which recovery are you using? It works fine in CWM since this is what I prefer but I have not heard complaints from TWRP users either. Make sure you uninstall any SuperSU or Superuser app you have right now completely even if root isn't working and try reflashing it.

Doesn't work. Downloaded numerous times and keep getting MD5 error

Has anyone actually managed to get this thing to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Have you checked the MD5 of the file you're downloading? I have downloaded it several times and it should be always be C0AEA189C9F870BBEDC26D99810DCEA4. If it's not then somehow you got a corrupt file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Worked for me on my first try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edthesped:
It worked like a charm for me. I had issues getting into recovery but that was due to my not knowing how to properly get into it and not reading directions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Worked for me first time, no problems. Be sure to check the MD5 after you download - sounds like you're getting a funky save. ;)

Creds for the pointers about Google Now -vs- battery life. I was thinking that this was a real battery ho, but it's because the darned thing is constantly trying to get a location fix and I'm indoors 12 hours a day (working) this weekend. Anybody else getting the blow-out of Google Now when you try to get to the settings? Every time I do I just end up back at the home screen with no settings screen, notice of the ANR or anything.

This version is looking good, but it still needs some work! :silly:

By the way - 90% of the issues people have been reporting in this thread are because they just aren't following the OP instructions TO THE LETTER, in order and not skipping anything. If you do, you should be golden.

SuperUser loading late for some reason?

I'm having an odd issue. It seems that (for some unknown reason) SU loads late - maybe even after the boot cycle is fully complete.

It causes all sorts of weird things to happen, like certain (root needed) programs come up "Not responding" until the phone has been sitting there for 2 or 3 minutes (more?) after booting, and if you try to load certain root-required programs before it _is_ loaded, the phone goes into a funk and/or warm boots - i.e. goes back into the boot cycle after giving a little shiver.

Has anyone else noted this issue, or is it just me (as usual)??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FAUguy:
After using this J1 no wipe ROM for 3 days, I've ended up having to flash the HE Radio on it again. Even though the J1 radio seems a bit better than I5, it still gets stuck in 3G a lot, and requires you to toggle the airplane mode on & off to get 4G, though it only lasts a while before it goes back to 3G. After flashing the HE radio, the 4G is more stable (but same dBm) and doesn't change over to 3G as often.

Let me start over. At some point, my phone accumulated approx 11gb of information on the internal sd card. I have not been able to locate any actual files that add up to this amount. I've tried factory reset multiple times and wiping everything - with no success. I wanted to simply ODIN to stock, wipe it all and just start over.

I downloaded your MF1 file and attempted to ODIN it but it failed. I went to boot into recovery, but it now says I need to update my KIES or something like that won't boot into the recovery. Right now, I'm trying to ODIN with the MB1 file... we'll see how this goes.

The older files I have on my computer are the old roo66, VRBLK3 files. I think everything else is deleted. I have not used Casual yet, but I'm assuming I will once I get something ODIN'd to my phone.

Let me know if you have any advice or ideas on how to clean this guy up. Thanks.

I'm trying to update to the latest JB 4.1.2 from I535VRALHE ICS 4.0.4. I have it rooted with BeansTown106.jar. I would like to stay on stock without unlocking bootloader. Is it possible with this method. If I can update my S3 to the latest radio and firmware would even better.

Can somebody point it out on how to do this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Use Odin 3.07. It is most reliable. You always flash everything in PDA. Don't change anything else. If doesn't boot when done factory reset in stock recovery. Must have usb debug checked in developers settings. It will go direct to MF1. Will not wipe data. It is same as taking OTA. :cool:

Are there any other firmware/model(I saw) needs to be done after that?

In video, the cache is being wiped. Should I boot into stock recovery and do it?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Never hurts to wipe cache. Sometimes it bootloops on splash or bootani after flash. If does cache sometimes works but I just factory reset mine and it then boots. Don't need anything else if just want stock rooted. That file is same as OTA and Beans will do just root if that's all you want. Myself I would use Beans to unlock and flash recovery to protect the bootloader from the 4.3 OTA. Can't tell any difference between just root and the full unlock. Just have more options. Once take 4.3 OTA can only root and no going back if don't like it. :cool:

Wiped too much - Need Help

My Verizon Galaxy S III was operating just fine. I had not accepted the last VZ OTA so I was operating with the previous version with it rooted. I was having a slight problem with a couple of apps which did not seem to be running correctly with hangups. My idea was to simply to boot into TWRP and wipe the Cache and the Dalvik Cache. I made an error and also wiped the System. That was a big boo bo. I believe I had rooted the phone using a file D2VZW-CASUAL-R634bBeansTown106. I had installed Super User, RomToolBox and TWRP.

Since I wiped the System I can still get the phone into TWRP. I tried to restore using that app and it.

I have tried some other things within TWRP but the the message OS not found.

After I found this thread and read through most of it, I wanted to try this to get some OS on the phone. When I go to the links and try the download I get some error message related to Java. I have Java on the laptop so I cannot figure that out.

Any suggestions on how to get this one going again would be appreciated.

None of the options within Odin seem to be available.

That message was showing since I first entered D/L mode and before the cable was connected.

I don't know if I should disconnect to restart or give it some further instruction to proceed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I take it the bootloader is locked if on any firmware 4.3+. Can only flash a 4.3+ firmware. There is no backing up. Not sure there is a no-wipe for these firmwares. Would have to search the threads. Trying to downgrade will brick it for sure. :cool:
