[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michelleyabc:
Hello,

I require some help as my phone has been acting really weird recently. I first bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 earlier in September that was loaded with ICS. I am currently in Singapore and I got the phone from Starhub.

I attempted to root the phone in ICS, and succeeded in doing so. There were no problems at that point in time.

Recently, there was an update notification that kept prompting me to update to Jelly Bean. There were a few options if I wanted to postpone it: Update now, Remind in 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours. I found it really irritating, so I eventually just clicked to update it now.

The update went as planned, but when I restarted my phone, my SuperSU refuses to work. When I go into it, it tells me "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" But when I click "Continue", it says Installation Failed! I have tried going to settings, disabling Superuser, and then attempting to use superuser to update the binary. It did not work. When I attempted to disable superuser under settings>SuperSU, it says "Uninstallation failed!"

I attempted to de-root using a guide from GalaxyS3Root website, which told me to download Odin Lite, Odin Kernel and Triangle Away.

However, Triangle Away refuses to work with an error message "Unfortunately, Triangle Away has stopped".

The Odin Lite also refuses to work by saying "Could not detect device model".

Am at a loss as to what to do now...

Tried using Titanium Backup as well, but it seems to be unable to back up my files without using Root.

Please help!! :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
You have several options. Easiest ones: just backup your stuff and either flash the lastest leak (ELK4) which is already rooted and has extra goodies or simply wipe your phone (get into recovery and factory reset it). Your rom (JB) wasn't rooted to begin with so you won't have root anymore. There's probably a way to do it without wiping but i usually don't bother. It's generally less of a hassle to backup and wipe.

Edit: oh sorry, missed the part where you couldn't backup without root. To be honest, i never use titanium, it always causes problems when i restore stuff. I just backup what i need by hand (sms's with a sms backup app, find my save's files, etc)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michelleyabc:
Thanks

Thanks for the speedy reply!

To backup my stuff, I just have to plug my phone to my computer and drag &drop everything, yes?

Sorry I'm very new to the whole android thing, and I'm not very tech-savvy to begin with. When you say Flash the latest leak, how do I do this?

If I factory reset my phone now will I brick it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agusdallalba:
That's such an overkill. Just boot into recovery mode and root your phone again with Odin. There are plenty of guides around.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldshi:
this is because after the update, your phone is no longer rooted.

Triangle Away is not required for rooted, it just resets a counter to 0. nothing very much to it.

I think the best thing u can do right now is.

1. titanium backup to SD.

2. load a new rom via odin 3.04

3. install cf root to root the phone via odin 3.04

4. install titanium backup and restore your phone.

i know it can be very annoying because all the singaporean ah beng hp shops has no idea now to repair the phone.;)

Hey guys-

I use Good for Enterprise on my gs3, currently running stock ICS. I want to flash the new stock rooted JB leak (11/15 kernel) but since Good is not officially supported on JB with this device, my supervisor is telling me not to do it since it could cause the app to not work right. I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader just itching to flash this...

Getting new PINs for the app are not an issue, since I am one of the Good admins in my company.

Anyone know if it is ok for me to do this? I think he is being ridiculous about this, considering we know it has gs3 support and JB support. Sprint has has JB for weeks already!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sthpaw01:
Doesn't this app check for root? The company I work for uses Good and a buddy had a S3 rooted (Sprint) and the admins said he couldn't use it because he was rooted. If you put on a stock not rooted image then I would think it would work unless JB gives it problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crackerhacker:
Try it. Make sure you do a nandroid backup first. If you run into a problem you can just revert back to what you were using before you flashed and pick up like you never wiped all data apps and info are restored.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droideris1:
I have been rooted for a few months now, and have not come across an issue... I have read that it checks for root also, but maybe the way my company configured it, it doesn't matter?

I am the guy in my office that configures the PINs and i can see device status for everything, and mine seems normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sthpaw01:
Go ahead and give it a try if your comfortable doing it like the above post has, make a nandroid and go at it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droideris1:
i decided to suck it up and give it a shot... IT WORKS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I don't really know what this means but if it means a future employer of mine doesn't notice I'm rooted, thanks for asking this question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drobins9:
Good on JB

Your employer can choose whether to allow Good on a rooted device. Mine allows it, and Good works fine on my GS3 with the first JB release.. Except for the "secure browser".. Apparently that does not support JB yet. :(

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
Can anybody please recommend me the best Custom Rom to save battery?

Thanks for every answer.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] manos_mand:
...

hi i use 2 programmes to save my battery

1)autostarts (you can close programmes to use ram and battery)

2) smart ram booster (close all programmes and you have more ram and more battery)

i have install mach roms and i have problemme with all .

with this programme i have battery for 2 day with full use.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] -Anderson-:
Stock rom has the best battery whatever tweaks,roms etc.Go for retribution extreme barebones or M!-U! For good battery life.

From my jellyblast powered Galaxy acei
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
Stock rom feels for me like very low battery :confused:.M!-U! sounds interessing
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
Which Custom ROM are you using often? Because my Custom ROM installed with the programms is just like 5 hours full use:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Viprdxd:
Optimised battery i would think is a combination of both Kernel & Rom Apps, the stock kernel runs close to the 832 MHz frequency at most times even when the phone is idle. I always found my battery went fast when on stock firmware. RB's Kernel supports different frequencies and thus depending on the load on the CPU this can help save battery consumption. A bareboned ROM will also help keep power consumption low but the trade off is less app functionality on your phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Androidnow:
See retribution gave me a very poor battery back up with 3G and wifi. But its quite fast. Right nw i am on stock deodexed XXLH3...with domscript and rafaels kernel. It gives me a 3/4th of a days use....with 3g and wifi.

Battery back up with simplicity V2 was quite good. But it has some app issues. (extreme bareboned). Kies doesnt recognise my fone. So had to restore my XXLH3 back up.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
So wich would you recommend me? Simplecity Or deodex Stock?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Androidnow:
Go with stock....simplicity V3 would be released.....wait for that...V2 has some bugs.....but a good Rom...... Its based on XXLI1. So try using the stock deodexed version of that. Maybe that stock version has good battery life ( report back and let me know abt the battery drain, If you are going to use that )...

Otherwise XXLH3 is a good option.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Viprdxd:
Are you running WIFI and 3g permanetly all day? If so this will drain your battery pretty fast regardless of what ROM your using i would assume. The Simplicity ROM's are fast and smooth, but at the moment i would wait for its v3 release, im currently using Jillie Bean Beta2 which works for me. You need to be realistic about how much battery use you will get out of your phone, if its being left idle power off functions you dont need.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Androidnow:
I agree with you. I do that with every rom i use. And till now simplicity was best at that. XXLA2 Roms didnt last long than these newer versions. Maybe there wud be some stock battery management tweaks. As of now...the battery has been getting better for me with every new updated stock version. I dont know about other users. I just check and try to bring out the best battery back up possible. And yes...thats what i told him above to wait for V3 simplicity.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
Thx!

Now I'm using deodexed XXLH3 with Adrenaline_Engine and V6_Supercharger and the battery really holds very longer. Thanks you ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] nikhil_dabral_29:
or u can try mindcr rom v2.4
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
I already tried. Battery is in simplycity v3 better.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] nikhil_dabral_29:
ya agree with u...:good:

I also tried simplicity v3. ..

battery was good..

but mindcr is also good..:p
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Munchkin86:
Hey I'm about to maybe falsh to newest Simplicity V3.5 version.

But I have a question about this rom.

In the description it is said that it is based on "xxli1", right now I'm running a German Ace i with "XXLD2"

Can some one tell me if "XXLI1" will also support German language.

It is possible to import the language afterwards?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
You have to make a new thread!

Yes it supports german because I am using german too
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Androidnow:
Why do you think he has to make a new thread for such a question?.......Simply go and ask this in the simplicity thread. Thats it. Dont choke the forum with each and every question, when you can ask it in its original thread.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
Yes I simply mean these questions have to be asked in the right place!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] hunt3r_:
I used ace cream for whole two months.Battery was pretty good.In addition used rafael baugis kernel with undervold and 156 as lowest freq.Also I installed juice defender :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] dNik17:
Best rom is one that suits your needs if your having battery problems stop using wifi/3g so much, listening to music/watching video or making/receiving calls...

Any rom that is designed to remove bloat or cook yourself one from a nandroid backup of fresh stock stock, remove all the bloat ware, use raf'e latest e3 kernel and modules install cpu control app set 156mhz-832mhz and use Lionheart gov bfq scheduler. I dont got problems with mine also use Adrenaline Engine and V6 scripts to speed and make smooth. Change your build.prop to extend time between wifi network scan. Google will unearth all sorts of interesting possibilities

Or

get a new battery surly it cant run out so quick on our device can it?

If you want 2+ day charge go buy a cheap burn phone like an old 2g style £10 fone from tesco or someting...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanillajuice:
I've been trying to format my 32GB sdcard to a filesystem that can read files over 4GB. Main reason being I use HDMI connection to view 1080p movies on TV.

Anyway, I've tried EXT2, 3, 4, NTFS, exFAT, and all of them come up with the "broken sdcard" message from android when I try to mount the sdcard.

I'm using kernel version 2.6.32.59-MB860-MROM and using the lastest MROM based off CM7. Anyone have any insight on where I can go from here? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
The whole entire Android system assumes the user storage (internal or external) is formatted as FAT32. This is much harder to change than you think. A simple reformat won't do.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tananaev:
You need to have at least part of your SD card to be FAT32 because many applications are using it to store configuration and data. You can have two partitions on your SD card, but I am not sure if video player will be able to use any partitions other than FAT32.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanillajuice:
I found a way to format my external 32GB sdcard to NTFS and still have it mounted on the phone. Pretty easy actually. I'll post it here for those that might be interested:

-Used Paragon Partition Manager 12 on my Windows machine to format my external SD to NTFS

-Atrix wasn't reading the card so I tried a program called Paragon exFAT, NTFS, & HFS+ by Paragon Software. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5wYXJhZ29uLm1vdW50ZXIiXQ..

-Paragon was not able to mount my sdcard automatically as it just gave me an error, so what I did with the rom im using was mount manually to /mnt/sdcard-ext. Should be good to go after this.

Been using it for a few days and everything is working well so far. Only annoying thing is everytime I connect by usb to my comp and enable usb storage I have to manually remount once I disconnect.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnRM:
Hi,

Is it possible to do a complete Nexus 7 backup to PC, via the USB cable, without rooting or wiping the device ?

I don't really mind having to root and wipe if it comes down to this, but I have lots of paid-for apps on this device and I don't really want to lost them and have to download them again, some are huge in size such as NFS Most Wanted, GTA III, etc...

I have had a good look through the forum before posting this, but there never really seems to be a simple straight answer to this - I'm still a noob virgin with Android :p

Any help most appreciated.

John.

Sarcasm, Thanks for all the help. Twats.
[HTC One X] Zorachus:
Having used so many Samsung phones with AMOLED screens, it was always recommended to use black apps, and dark wallpapers to save battery life, that white is a big battery drain on AMOLED.

Now with the One X being S-LCD2, I thought we don't need to use black as much ? Is white apps, and lighter wallpapers OK on this phone ? White is not a battery drain on the One X ?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
No, it's backlit, which is why it's brighter.
[HTC One X] peedub:
AMOLED can turn off the pixels that need to be black, saving power. LCD, on the other hand, can not.

The One X has an LCD screen, so there's no advantage of more black. Exactly the same amount of power being used, regardless of the colour shown.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
That's not a clear description.

With OLED, the pixels emit light, on black, they emit no light and require no power.

With LCD, the pixels block light (either reflected or backlit), the backlight is always on, always requiring power.

There are many other aspects, such as contrast, brightness, colour gamut, aging effects etc.

[HTC One X] mike877:
Hi guys

I have problem here

I tried to unroot my phone because i wanted the stock rom again..

But somehow it went wrong and the bootloader is relocked with a security warning under it.

I also have a bootloop, so i don't know what to do right now :(
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I think you relocked it with custom recovery, and maybe also your ROM.and boot.img don't match.

Did you restore a nandroid backup? Flash a boot.img? Or just relock it?

I suggest you run an RUU if you can, to find out which:

fastboot getvar version-main

Or main-version, can't remember.

Get it from htcruu.com, I think. Damn, my memory is shot today.
[HTC One X] mike877:
it says endeavoru
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Good, I realised that after posting, so check my modified answer.
[HTC One X] mike877:
Well i did something with custom recovery.. but my memory also is **** today haha.

I only tried to unroot my htc by deleting the su file and the other file, which the name i have forgotten..

I was following a guide, but later on i saw it was for stock roms only, and at that time i had a custom rom..

Maybe that's the problem?

Anyways, i haven't got any nandroid backup, just a titanium backup.. but that one is on the phone right?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Grab your version-main and then look for a backup or RUU. There are threads for both, in the dev section, and probably sticky.

[HTC One X] mike877:
well maybe you should find your ruu first?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You can run the RUU ....and correct me if i'm wrong !

Put the phone in bootloader menu with the bootloader LOCKED (what you already have)

plug the phone in the pc (fastboot USB mode)

Run the RUU from pc WITH admin rights !

help

thats the problem..

i cant find the ruu for 2.17.720.2

can u send me a link or any sort of help would be much appreciated..

So how do i use the backup ?

And i cant flash CWM or any recovery.

eventually after I flashed the ROM I saw that he named the file for my phone:

Liquid JB v2.0 RC8 (D2TMO) but I flashed this one: Liquid JB v2.0 RC8 (D2ATT)

which is probably the AT&T version, first of all I wanna say to this DEV - thank you very much for not making this clear to everybody that you have different roms for 20 different phones on one spot, now my phone is bricked thanks to you, yea yea yea you flashing is your own responsibility but how you could not make this thing clear just take a look at his thread it doesn't say nowhere that the right rom for me is somewhere down there, I assumed that the link on the top is the newest for my phone.

My phone is dead now, it doesn't wanna turn on, it doesn't wanna go into download mode, it doesn't wanna go into recovery, please help.

Thank you in advice!
