Just a thought... I used CWM on the Epic for years before switching to TWRP once I got the Photon Q, it has more features and the ui is much easier to navigate. TWRP's file manager is very useful to have.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] penguinpal:
Newbie here ... so TWRP is like CWM and you prefer it? It has at least what CWM has surely. You have a link handy. :) I know nothing - like not even what TWRP stands for.

Guys!

I have the same problem!

My phone version XT925:

4.1.2

unlocked bootloader

no ROOT

Phone not loading to recovery! so I can't install SU.zip, to get ROOT and rename recovery-from-boot.p.

I am realy need your help!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
Do you have the Motorola RAZR HD? If so, then wrong forum! In general tho, the trick is to flash custom recovery, then hold volume up when rebooting in order to boot straight into the custom recovery before it gets overwritten.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Stock OTA update contains /system/etc/install-recovery.sh that will re-flash the recovery to stock any time you boot the android system.

Boot to custom recovery first before starting the android system after the update and remove this script by using the console or adb shell:

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Shouldn't having unlocked bootloader prevent custom recovery from being overwritten by stock recovery? I honestly don't recall having to do anything in order to keep custom recovery.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xaelith:
My guess is that Sprint and the other carriers are behind the stock recovery overwriting custom recoveries. The phone I came from (Samsung Transform Ultra) does something similar, and it only started doing it when Android was updated from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6.

If anything, having an unlocked bootloader allows the stock recovery more room to overwrite a custom recovery because an unlocked bootloader just simply means that the way the phone starts up can be customized (instead of being stuck with whatever the phone manufacturer or service provider offers). Put another way, an unlocked bootloader doesn't prevent anything from being overwritten.

Adding scripts that re-apply the stock recovery are the carrier's way of trying to prevent people from rooting their phones. I can't say for sure why they would want to stop the activity, but I imagine they see rooting as hurting their pocket books in some manner. I don't agree with the practice because I like having more control over the products I buy, not less. However, if I'm anywhere in the ballpark, I can understand their reasoning to a minor degree.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
There's no need to see more in it than what it really is: it is the standard way how OTA update updates the recovery.

OTA is set of commands for recovery to update everything in phone except recovery itself (because recovery shouldn't try to overwrite itself while it is running). So if OTA wants to update also recovery, it has to do it from the system, after the system has been updated from recovery.

mrvek: this happens only if you update to JB using the unmodified stock OTA package, not if you use some alternative way (like e.g. FXZ).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] 1stStep:
Hi guys, this is an old thread I'm sorry to wake up, but not being able to flash an unofficial TWRP (our Hazou's 3.0.2-0) in my BL unlocked 4.4.2 RAZR i (vodafone FR), please would you give me some clarification: all seems fine in the process but I don't get any "Success" message on the phone when flashing. Instead, it remains forever in showing "Flashing recovery ...".

So how do I make me sure the flash succeded? Do I only have to push Vol- button to go down from "Normal boot" to highlight "Recovery", then select "Recovery" by pushing Vol+, all this after say 1 hour waiting on "Flashing recovery ..." display?

Or could it be a problem of my fastboot binary version. What is the required version if any and how do I know the one I have (./fastboot with no parameters doesn't show a parameter to show its own version)?

Thanks you

[Edit] : Hoho, I did this, and I got a screen from TWRP :) , but while editing this post to make you know, the screen dimmed and I touched it in the middle no to hit any button before I understand, and then a big white lock appeared, graying everything and hiding nearly anything but a "Swipe to unlock" slider .... got frightened by english... but trying to calm myself I retrieved my English basics : "unlock" there was just a matter of current screen :)

I am in the us, currently on AT&T. Would it be worth it for me to buy an unlocked version of this phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonstantinKeller:
Tough question. Booming development, quad core processor, 2 gb of RAM, 1280x768 screen res, sexy as hell, pure google w/ no ugly ass skin overlays. I would say no, it's totally not worth it for $300-$350 /sarcasm :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InternetCliche:
I just mean, what carrier would give me a sim for it, and is there a deal where i don;t have to pay over $200 a month when i already have a phone. B/c right now, the $200 one x+ is looking better.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznxk3vi17:
Any of them that support GSM?

???
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonstantinKeller:
Oh, well in that case, if you already have a plan, buy the phone unlocked and cut your sim card, or go to an AT&T store and ask for one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
There's Straight Talk with unlimited everything for $45 a month. Can use AT&T or T-Mobile service
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InternetCliche:
The plan is really only worth it when you are buying a new phone too, as they reduce the price of the phone. Is there a carrier that would give me a cheaper price because i would already have a phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Try an MVNO. Like I stated above, ST is pretty good. There's also SIMple Mobile which uses T-Mobile towers and has a $40/month unlimited everything but 3G speeds
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geo411m:
T-Mobile offers value plans that are cheaper but you have to buy all your phones at full price or bring your own. I've got 5 phones on this plan with unlimited everything for for 2 lines for $140 and the other 3 lines have 500 minutes each and unlimited text/data (free M2M/NW etc).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silverh20:
Hi everyone, I'm running CM10.0.0 Skyrocket with UCLD2 modem. I live in Jupiter, FL and when I am traveling through town and pass through areas that switch between HSPA, 3G, and 4G, I often have to toggle airplane mode to get data back. Is this due to my radio? I was doing research in the forum about the various radios and I couldn't find a definitive comparison of the various modems to each other with a chronology of release. I'd guess that newer modems are better, but then I read that sometimes that's not the case. Anyone care to weigh in on why I lose data connection when traveling through different data zones? btw i checked my APN settings and theyre fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crashpsycho:
I too run into the same issue but when I'm at work I know that if you running jb data loss has been known to be an issue with it yes the newer the modem can potentially fix or issue depending on situation best option is test
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silverh20:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silverh20:
Thank you for the suggestion, I flashed it last night and so far so good. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silverh20:
Just an update, things still seem good with CI3 compared to my old radio. Only thing I notice is it doesn't really like 4G data, it'll say 4G and have good bars, and I can make and receive calls fine. But if I go online it'll stall, and I'll watch it struggle and then swap to H+ and be fine. That’s the only remaining quirk. Not sure why it's doing that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silverh20:
I know no one is following this post at this point but I thought I'd post a final update about how i resolved the last issue I mentioned in the post above, just in case someone else has this same issue and searches the forum later.

I fixed my reception with 4G accidentally, i flashed the Lightning Zap v3 kernel to improve battery and lo and behold, reception hand off is fixed!!

Tried a cm9 mini rom on dart and got a white screen. Huge difference in h/w or porting?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] F4uzan:
Dart ROM > Only on Dart, but portable to Mini

Dart are Hardware locked, so port is almost Impossible, altrough there is small chances to port it.

CM9 for Mini have different lib, apk, and hardware configuration.

roms like stock and cm7 (gb roms) are easily port-able until you have a working and compatible kernel

I've run various CynogenMOD, AOKP, Paranoid and OEM style ROM's for the last few months. My phone has done great at my home and when I go out. Well, when I go out everywhere EXCEPT one location.

My pool hall.

Whenever I go to this pool hall, my phone will reboot a few times a night. Almost consistently. I thought it might be a 3G vs. 4G battle of the wills. But my 4G has at least 2 or 3 bars all the time.

I also disabled my WiFi and it still happened, so that's not it.

Also considered someone might be trying to hack my phone, so i disabled NFC and it still happens.

Hi, can somebody recommend me a rom with good battery life? Actually I have Turkbey's 2.3.6 and I like to change it. I tried Turkbey ICS v12 but it has lower battery life than 2.3.6.

I know the tips to extend battery life but I refer to battery life between two roms in similar usage conditions and not for tips for downgrade the battery consumption.

Should I try ICS or JB or should I stay in GB?

Thank you in advance...

U run different apps than I do. U do different things with your device than I do. The reason he responded the way he did is there is no rom that anyone can say works better than another for ANYTHING because we all use our devices differently. Try one. If u don't like it try another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jufegoco:
It's true, but only when you compare to me, but in most of cases all of us has been tried several roms in identical caracteristics, with the same applications and we know wich of them have special features like battery duration. Same as we can say that "Turkbey" 2.3.6 based have more battery life than "Turkbey" ICS based, all of you can say that some rom have better baterry life than another in identical conditions . . . I understand you are saying, but I'm completely sure you have rom preferences for one or more features . . . if not, why you have your actual rom? Can you evaluate it for development, performance, battery life? This is . . . You can suggest!!

I agree with you if my question had been made "which are the best rom" because there are no the best rom for somebody. Each rom has its features and each one takes the most of it, but you can´t ignore there are some special features for each roms.

Thank´s anyway but I don´t totally agree with you . . . and I know what are I saying . . .

HTC made a slight change to the music app and removed the "previously played" list below the music icon when you open the app. It now takes one step longer to get to your actual music in your phone. It's a minor annoyance but I use my phone a lot for music and it makes all the difference.

I went ahead and bought the i9305. The sound quality is much better than the i747. This is using the "Ac!d" audio engine on the pandorium ROM for the i9305. Over much clearer and defined sound!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ollien:
Whoa, okay, let's get to work here.

You can get it by flashing a ROM (custom software for your phone) which requires rooting (getting access to everything) your phone and installing a custom recovery. However, if "tech jargon" confuses you I would NOT reccoment you do this, especially considering it voids your warranty.

Plug it into your computer, go to "My Computer" and choose I747 or something along those lines. Choose "Internal Storage", and then (if these folders do not exist create them) media, audio, and then notifications or ringtones, depending on which one you want. These have to be in the mp3 format

I don't know if 64 works, but I have this sd card, and it works great. Your phone will take care of the formatting :)

Short answer:No.

Long answer: Just be careful what you download, always check the permissions that an app has, if an app has something you don't think it should need, (like Words with Friends needing access to your CALL LOG) don't install it.

Google Play

I have an Otterbox Defender and it does not degrade usability of the touchscreen. However it does degrade the quality of the screen, not anything severe though. You would be fine getting a Commuter, if you just drop your case occasionally. I would personally always recommend an Otterbox, but that's just me.

You should be fine with any old charger, just make sure its 5V and about 1 amp, maybe a bit less.

Have fun with your phone :)

Thanks for you reply.

1. Without me getting confused on rooting etc, is Jellybean going to be available for the AT&T SIII? Is it even worth it? From what I hear the answer is yes. Also my local ATT store rep told me that the new Note has Jellybean on it? And is it as easy to install as any other update? Will it change anything I've done on the phone to that point? I just want to get going on my phone (preferences, settings, etc) and then have to redo it all later because I put Jellybean on it.

2. No driver software is needed to be installed on my laptop prior to hooking up the phone via the USB? I have various types of files on my laptop from my old HTC that I used on that Windows OS: MP3, MPEG 4, some Adobe PDF files, some .jpg files, some .AVI files, some .wav files, some .amr files... I think that is all. So for audio that I want to keep, I have to convert all my files that are not MP3 into MP3? If so, that sucks. Any advice how to do that easiest/free?

3. Is your card a class 10? Supposedly a class 10 is the fastest best for this phone (for HD video)? I went to the San Disk site, and under their Ultra series for mobile phones with 64GB it lists this model number: SDSDQUA-064G-A11A. San Disk retails it for $184.99, lol. The I just searched Amazon for that model number, but reading the reviews of this one, has me worried on the formatting topic.

4. On the chargers and such, is this site reputable: http://www.shopandroid.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-accessories.htm ?

Not going to use it until I get a case and get a bigger memory card.

Thanks again for your help!

:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ollien:
1.It's going to come out whenever AT&T decides to stop being an ass about not approving the update, it's nearly the flick of a switch.

2. Forgot to mention, you need Samsung Keis. Don't use it, it's a POS. Just install it for the drivers.

3. I dont honestly know. I just needed a card for backups. Once again, with your phone you do NOT need to worry about formatting.

4.I've never used it. 80$ is INSANE for a case. I would recommend Amazon personally.

Thanks for your reply back. I'll reply back this evening with follow up if you don't mind?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OmRomRom:
I saw someone mention case recommendations. That is honestly all preference and how much protection you want for your phone. I tend to baby my devices so I went with a White/Gray Speck candyshell case and Spigen SGP Crystal screen protector. The combo works perfect for me.

I have a class 10 San Disk 64gb card. I bought mine off of ebay for 79.99. You have to be careful on ebay with cards though. Some are counterfit. Just look for a US seller (if in the US) that has above 97% reputation that is selling it in retail packaging. I'm happy with mine. You may not need one that large, but like most people on here I have a lot of backups and custom ROMs. Lots of movies and music as well.

Like the other member said AT&T is taking their sweet time releasing our version of Jelly Bean. We are the only carrier that as far as I know hasn't had a "leak" released. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. There are many custom roms available that are running Jelly Bean already though. Just keep in mind that all ROMs have their own issues. Even stock (want me to tell you about 4.2 on Nexus 7? ugh).

The great thing about XDA is most people on here actually want to help. Just start browsing different forums. You'll pick things up in no time. Flashing ROMs and such is easier than it sounds.

Good luck! If you need help with anything you can PM me.
