Okay... I have read from post 56 until the end and from what i am gathering is that if you root your phone you will not be able to use sammy apps like allshare play or media hub and even after using TA and flashing back to stock firmware the allshare play and other sammy apps that are DRM dependent will no longer work? Someone please correct me if that statement is wrong?!

If that statement is correct and even after flashing stock firmware after using TA I am wondering if there is some kind of internal fuse that is getting blown kind of like the motorola atrix how it blew an internal fuse after unlocking the bootloader. I am not sure, but that doesnt make sense why flashing back to stock after using TA would still cause problems with the samsung DRM related apps.

Samsung account with access to that movie will probably do it. Hope they don't have an geoIP filter. They do have one on signup (which is why I can't do this myself) but hopefully not on playback! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Something to note if it hasn't been mentioned. From stock I rooted using Odin using cf root. Triangle away showed counter of 1. After using it , it went back down to 0. Under device settings> about phone > status. It shows searching. After downloading rom manager and flashing custom recovery it now says modified.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jirv311:
Nope not at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CAR1977:
Pm sent with my info. Hope it works out and help's you figure something out as to what is causing this.

Thanks for looking into this.

Any new info on this front?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chainfire:
Not yet, from my side at least.

EDIT: I have not managed to play that movie using your account yet either. It doesn't work on the stock firmwares I have, I may need to create a bastard child of a US and European ROM to even be able to test this properly.

That's why I keep seeing the flash counter 1. Is there an instruction to get back to stock firmware with flash counter 0? Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thatsupnow:
I just finished setting things back up and my flash counter is 0. First I odin flashed the root66 ics build, installed mobile odin pro and triangle away, got the counter back to 0. Then I flashed the root66 jb build with mobile odin booted it up, then flashed cwm touch and flash counter never increased. I've flashed a couple Roms and the counter is just staying at 0!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoBoZ:
I did the same process and my counter is at 0 also.

One thing to add, I flashed CWM Touch through Rom Manager
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bdorr1105:
The Same process probably won't work the same with ODIN on the pc, I don't trust mobile ODIN with correctly partitioning to Jellybean. The fact that the counter doesn't trip with mobile Odin throws up red flags to me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
I was looking at roms for the Verizon s3 and saw this. Wonder if it could help with the apps breaking? Towards the top they talk about Samsungs root checker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CAR1977:
Have your tried using Samsung media hub to watch Avengers? I am curious, I would love to go your route, but would like to know if it breaks the functionality of the all share cast dongle and media hub. Thanks in advance.

thanks a lot this help me out
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bdorr1105:
Again there is a reason it works with mobile ODIN and not ODIN on the PC. Just saying
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thatsupnow:
Why does that throw up red flags to you?

I'm not sure if it works or not I went straight to task650 aokp rom

sent from the dark side of the universe....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bdorr1105:
Because if mobile ODIN does not cause the counter to trip and does the same thing as the PC version, then it also should not trip using the PC. It must not partition the same because ODIN of the route 66 JB from ICS should not trip the counter because it is the official update. Installing a custom recovery through goomanager trips the counter. Think about it, you do the same exact steps with mobile ODIN so why should it be any different? There is something mobile ODIN does not do which makes me wonder especially on how it is partitioning? Just a thought
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Correct. There are 5 partitions that Mobile Odin skips.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neysito:
Thank you for sharing this. Whatever mobile Odin is doing or not is working. I just added a copy of the pro version to my Christmas tree, it was long overdue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] seshaz:
So this whole thread is over my head but I odined to stock jb used mob odin to install twrp, device status says modified but I can play my media hub movies like avengers and such.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdizzle404:
Have you booted into twrp and your still able to watch avengers and which zip did tou flash with mobile odin the twrp flashable zip in the development thread?

I just am not familiar with mobile odin or how it works lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike102871:
Odin stock rooted rom , removed bloat installed twrp via rom tool box, booted into recovery then into rom. Flash counter at 1. I can still play avengers. Flashing any kernel, even ones called stock, breaks avengers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] seshaz:
Downloaded the twrp tar file then flashed through mobile odin pro. But as soon as you flash I different kernel it says modified and no longer can play drm content
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdizzle404:
Cool man thanks for your findings just got mobile Odin pro so I'll see how she gos lo

Have you flashed any themes or anything?

Should I ota update then root? Or just Odin route 66?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Any advice on clearing the modified status even after restoring stock completely. In settings> status not download mode. I can no longer check for updates. It just keeps spinning. Normally it would say no updates available.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
How did you restore stock?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Used triangle away to clear to zero. Then Odin to stock firmware. Then factory reset. Verified flash counter is at zero and everything is stock except the status still shows modified. I've done it more than a few times since I keep rerooting to try ROMs out. I root with cf root method by the way. And use cwm recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Anyone successfully reset the status notification?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Did some research and found out that one method is to do another factory reset after Odin . or you if wish you keep root us cf root then restore a stock backup with cwm and it should also have the same results. will try today hopefully. Unless someone actually chimes in.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rickd88:
I think it will show modified as long as you have a custom recovery on your phone (cwm).

You would have to flash the original recovery back too.

Basically this is only good if you are UN-rooting and going back to full stock.

Not sure at all but that is my impression.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ringoshu:
I've gone through this whole thread and I haven't found my situation, so bear with me.

I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 which I rooted and installed a custom recovery (before I knew about allshare cast dongle incompatibility that would follow). I have the stock rom though, and I've tried triangle away and I can never get the counter to 0. Also, I've checked it right after in download mode and it keeps saying 1.

Just wondering if anyone has any idea what might be causing it.

After reading this thread, I'm getting more the feeling that it's pretty permanent once you trip it once.

Also, thanks for providing such useful information! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
When you open triangle away, does the app say your binary count is 1? Is super user granting TA root permissions?

If everything is normal, you might want to try asking in Chainfire's Triangle Away thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
What are you trying to accomplish? Did you want to get back to stock with the counter at zero? or are you trying for the green field of having a rooted rom and have the counter at zero?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Just an idea

what if you were to move your root.apk's to the system partition as a system app, then possibly this would not happen, i think you are right it looks for apps running as root, but i think it more likely it looks for user apps running as root, my theory on this is simply based on my ASUS TF300T. while its not rooted ASUS did include one or a few system apps that would otherwise need root to properly function as a user app, which means the app would still need root access as a system app, but because it is a system app it allows limited root access to the system and the specific root utilities or commands it needs to do its job( im talking about the ASUS App Backup.apk it will backup any app i have, paid, unpaid it doesnt matter, it will even backup system apps) because without rooting the device, the app cannot be modified by the non-root user only by the system or by an update from ASUS, leaving its root functions to be safe for the system, because it cannot modify certain root privileges that would break the system. and still does not allow root privileges to the user. this was when i got it my absolute favorite thing about my tab, it seems to have some sort of hybrid system/user root that has only a few user input options allowed by the app, but the app itself depending on the user input has root access.
[HTC Rezound] Geoi1006:
Looking to make the jump from Verizon back to T-Mobile and have a year left on my contact. Are people still looking for lines with unlimited data? Can anyone run me through the process of transferring accounts to new customers? We're planning on getting Nexus 4s and going the prepaid route as it would cost us roughly a third of what it would cost us to finish out our contract. Idealistically we'd prefer to go this route and sell off our plan with our phones as to avoid ETFs. Any insight or help is appreciated guys!

Edit: Should clarify that only one line is unlimited and the other has the 4 GB for the price of 2 GB promotion plan.
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
Its easy if your doing it over the phone all you do is call and let Verizon know you have someone that is gonna take over the line and they will be calling they notate the account and then that person just calls Verizon and gives them the # they are taking over and then Verizon does the assumption of liability "credit check" then that's it they take over the line. Or you and the person can go into Verizon and do it all at once in person. Whatever is easier for you.

I'd be interested in VZW lines.
[HTC Rezound] macher50267:
It's very easy. You call VZW and let them know that the specific person is going to take over your lines. Then the specific person calls VZW AOL # and accepts responsibility. It's as easy as that.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgraz0r:
Well oneclickunbrick will run in Windows also, it would take your phone to download mode so you can go on with Odin

Otherwise if that doesn't work I think you'll need to go to repair service

thanks. i will try this. if it doesnt work i will try jtag

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeyman08854:
I have experience with several mobile OS's.

I had an HTC Kaiser (WinMo device)

I later installed Android on that same Kaiser

I have an iPhone 4 (iOS)

and a Motorolla Xoom (Android ICS)

One of the most important factors that makes a huge difference in quality of life is how the OS handles audio when a call comes in. When my iPhone receives a call while I'm listening to music it pauses the music. When my call ends the music resumes.

This was not true of my Kaiser back in the WinMo days and it was a major detriment to the device.

More impressively, when I'm listening to an audio-book through the Audible app on my iPhone it handles it the same way, pausing at a call, resuming after.

My question is:

How do these new W8P devices handle this situation? Is it at all graceful?

Thanks for your insight,

Jon
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ren13B:
For incoming calls it behaves just like your iphone. I can't answer the audible question but I know apps can't pass marketplace certification if they interfere with audio on incoming calls. The app has to pause audio but the resume part I'm not sure about.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeyman08854:
Thanks for that :) I just think this is a huge QoL issue that doesn't get enough attention.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickler:
I've seen an issue on my CloudMuzik app when I ported it to WP8. When a call comes in on the WP7 version, it will pause then resume when the call is finished. I am seeing different functionality on WP8. It just pauses and... that's it. It will restart the song when you press play again.

Hi Guys

I have a strange icon at the top of my phone that looks like two hands cupping a small white object. This icon is not listed anywhere i can find LOL Any ideas? When I plug the charger in it goes grey and then white when I unplug.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
this icon means extended standby mode is active

and it goes grey because extended standby is disabled when you plug the charger (because it doesn't have to save the battery then)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newton1729:
I (rather, my 8-year-old daughter) have a had a Viewsonic G Tablet for a while, and would like to install a new ROM in it, in part because I suspect that the tablet may have been infested by malware. My goals are to be able to root the tablet, and to have full access to the Google market place (Google Play Store, as I believe it is called now.) After doing some reading on how to tackle this, I have noticed that, if anything, there is an excess of information, potential dependencies on the software version currently in the tablet - and many ways in which one can end up with a brick.

I would be grateful for recommendations on how to proceed. In particular, what is the ROM that members in this forum would recommend for me to use? I would like to minimize the probability to end up with a brick, which would seem to imply that relative installation simplicity is a factor. Also, do I need to reset to factory default before attempting to install a new ROM? Would this be advisable, or may be even necessary, in order to make sure to get rid of any malware potentially in place? The tablet is currently running the latest software update (1.2-5699) from Viewsonic, installed shortly after 01/31/12.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newton1729:
Addendum

I forgot to add two other desirable features: The ROM should support Skype with video, and should be optimized for video and game playing; that's what my daughter uses it for.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwinn8:
I doubt you have malware that couldn't be easily removed. But rooting/romming will make the device far more useful.

That sai, for best stability and compatibility, I would suggest a Froyo rom, as the other kernels aren't quite there. Particularly for Skype and such. VeganTab is the best one I have seen, but I also like Beasty Clemsyn, and that is what I am using today.

If you want to tinker more, the new Smoother jb/ics are great, but not perfect. I plan to get back to those in the near future, as they are still being tweaked.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newton1729:
Thanks for your feedback

Thanks so much for your recommendations. I have been looking into the description given in

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

for installing a new ROM. Do you know if this is up to date? I am a bit concerned about the comments in the link for VeganTab having to do with incompatibilities between the bootloader in recent versions of the Viewsonic ROM and the bootloader mentioned in the link above. I just need some reassurance from those who know better that, by following the steps in the link, I am not going to brick the tablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwinn8:
I haven't heard of anyone really bricking the tablet. Some roms have caused an SOD (sleep of death) but after the battery dies out, it resets and can be booted back up. Or you can press the internal reset button. Most of these happen on the reverse engineered kernel for newer roms.

Get yourself comfortable with the nvflash routine (it's pretty easy) and keep a backup original rom on your computer, in case you need it. Nvflash can get you out of pretty much any issue.

VeganTab is very old as you can see. If you're on the same bootloader as required for that, then go ahead. If not, then you're probably on 1.2,which is why I switched to Beasty / Clemsyn (it's 1.2bl capable iirc).

Hi guys

I'm having g some weird issues I have a gs3 from bell. I rooted it and been flashing all kinds of Roms and never having any issues going back to restoring stable Roms until I decided to try twrp recovery but I noticed that I couldn't restore anything backed up by cwm so I flashed cwm though Rom manager and since then whenever I try to backup a Rom it finishes then when I try to restore them they say md5 mismatch. So after a lot of research I managed to notice that cwm isn't making any nandroid md5 files.

So my question is have I flashed a bad version of cwm through Rom manager or may I have just screwed my phones files somehow I was thinking of uprooting my phone and rerooting it but I don't know if that will fix this. Please help

If I push normal boot or reset bootmenu the KFwill boot normally .
