[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MyndMayze:
Boot in to recovery mode and reflash the rom (doing so will install the kernel that came with the rom).

Volume +, home, and power. When the phone powers up with "Samsung" with small blue text in the upper lefthand corner release the buttons as soon as that screen disappears. Do a full wipe; factory reset, cache clear, and dalvik cache under "advanced", reinstall rom and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
There's no need to full wipe. Just bit into recovery, wipe cache, under advanced wipe dalvik cache and reflash ROM. Problem solved and your phone will be ready to go.

I'm trying to root my Sprint SGS3. I've tried using Odin tar files and Odin One-clicks. Yes, I have debugging checked in developer options. Yes, I have the correct drivers installed. Yes, I'm following the given directions. Yes, I'm in Odin mode on the phone. Yes, I have the correct files I need on my phone and laptop. This is the issue: EVERY time I try to root, no matter which method I try, Odin gets as far as "Get PIT for mapping.." and stops... and eventually (ALWAYS) fails. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong or not doing right. Can someone, ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME?!?!? Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hutecker:
Hey guy I recently got a Galaxy Note 10.1, the Wi-Fi only version (N8010 I think?). I really want to get Jelly Bean on it as soon as possible. I know there are a ton of ROMS out there for the Wi-Fi/3G version and most people who have flashed those onto the Wi-Fi only version have been successful. I just had a few questions for you guys as I'm still a noob at this.

1. Do I have to root my tablet to be able to flash a ROM on it?

2. Is there a chance of bricking the tablet? Is there any danger involved?

3. Will I still get OTA updates when they become available?

4. Anyone have instructions on how to flash Jelly Bean onto it?

5. Where could I find ROMS that will work with my tablet?

Thank you guys for taking the time to answer. If any of you have any experience with the Wi-Fi only version let me know. Also I live in the US if that is of any importance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaw51:
The U.S. version of wifi only is the 8013. It is what I have. There is always a risk involved with everything you do, even breathing. Every breath you take you take the risk it is not poision and feel the benefits of not suficating our weigh the risk of being poisoned.

For flashing the roms on here you need a custom recovery, like cwm. There are guides on this in the development area. Darkman-rs has some very good stuff out. I have some stuff for the 8013 as well. Check out everything, get a good feel, make a backup of your stuff, like apps, nand backups, copy your internal memory to something else, whatever else you feel like doing. One day when you have nothing going on, sit around and play with things, talk to the google machine about stuff. I have done a lot to this tablet, nothing I couldnt recover from. Always have a backup on your external sd card just in case, like an extra sd card in case you wipe the one in your tablet

Oh, and have fun!

Also, the thread for the roms should have the info on installing.

Was anyone able to use chainfire3D on JB?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacentre:
I find that the original, stock Camera app as well as the JB 4.2 one, often causes my phone to hang up and I have to do 1 or 2 15sec hard reboots to clear it.

When the app starts, I can see the camera full screen live view but none of the buttons or menus. When this happens, I can't kill the app or escape to Home screen and have to re-boot the phone with a 15sec power button press. The phone will usually hang up at the Samsung spash screen the first time but will usually reboot properly on the second attempt.

I'm on the Ultimate JB XXLSC 5.1 ROM and understand that custom ROMs can sometimes have bugs. Just wondering if anyone one else is experiencing this and if there's a fix.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I need help deciding what cellphone from sprint to get upgraded to, since they told me that now is the time that I can qualify for an upgrade, Right now I have an evo 3d, and I love this phone, but I have noticed that everybody's jumping to the lte's phones, I was thinking on upgrading to the evo LTE, but after reading on many android forums it seems that not many people like it, so the same goes for samsung s3, unfortunately those are the only ones that I qualify for, I don't believe sprint has the note 2, but of all those 3, which one you guys would recommend, thanks in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] FanOfSkynyrd:
If you "qualify" for an upgrade now, you will still qualify for it 2, 3, or even 6 months down the road.

Seems to me if you upgrade now, its just for the sake of upgrading. You said urself, u love the 3d. If there isn't a phone out there that excites u, then hold out until there is one that does...that is what I am doing.
[HTC EVO 3D] fitusv:
Thank you FanOfSkynyrd, I will wait and see what the next year brings

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark8503:
I downloaded Google voice and followed the set up y voicemail still goes through T-Mobile. I made sure in the options that it is set to Google voice buy its not working. I never used voice before am I missing something? Is it because I didn't port my number to Google voice because I would rather keep my number with the carrier. I guess I just want voice to be like the vvm app that I used from Sprint. Sorry for this noob questioni just don't know anything about it. I searched Google and YouTube but they weren't very helpful.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ackliph:
I'm going to assume you're on a prepaid plan.

You can't set up google voice in place of your T-Mobile voice mail. AT&T and Straight Talk allow it I do believe, but not Monthly4G from T-Mobile.

You can start giving out your GV number to people and set it up to ring your T-Mobile number. In order to get the mail to pass to your Google Voice and not get caught up in your T-Mobile VM. You'll need to set up to prompt people to say their name and you press 1 to accept. This isn't foolproof as you will still get VM's with your T-Mobile account, and it will be of the person saying their name... BUT you will get the actual VM in GV, and it will be transcripted, saved, and awesome.

It's annoying. But it's the only way I know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark8503:
So I'm switching to straight talk att next month because my T-Mobile voice coverage isn't that great. When I'm on strait talk Google voice will work like a vvm? With my regular phone number?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ackliph:
Yes. When setting up the GV app from scratch it will prompt you to change your VM. You can also do it manually. Basically instead of forwarding missed calls to st VM, it forwards to your GV number thus going to VM. If you do it manually, make sure your cell number is registered in gv.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
You could attempt to set it up yourself.

Open the Dialer App, Press Menu (bottom Left corner) and select Settings.

Than Select "Voicemail"

Change Voicemail>Setup

Or still under Phone Settings. Scroll down to Call Forwarding

and set "Forward when busy" "Forward when Unanswered" "Forward when Unreachable"

to your Google Voice number (+1GVOICENUMBER)

and make sure your actual carrier supplied number has been added to your Google Voice allowed numbers.

Hi,

Did you click the top tab to actually Flash ClockworkMod Recovery? if so then it will say the recovery version below the RECOVERY section of the app.

A few tweaks you can mess around with.

If you are into achieving a better visual experience on the GS3, download the script at the bottom of this post!

[Mod] Hold menu to kill. Tested on d2vzw tw jb. Link- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34382173

Quicker response and app loading

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags= =m=y,o=y

Better overall system response. Add each of these values separately. Been tested and verified for the GS3.

debug.composition.type = gpu

debug.composition.type = cpu

Disable scrolling cache for faster scrolling.

persist.sys.scrollingcache = 4

More accurate + sharper rendering.

persist.sys.smoothscrollbar = true

Helps diminish screen ghosting such as text drag and other obvious things.

dev.pm.gpu_samplingrate = 1

Less logging is more speed

debug.mdpcomp.logs = 0

logcat.live = disable

A debatable setting. Some like 0, some like 3. I prefer a setting of 3 as it appears to be a more precise image rendering. 3 will actually produce more video resolution in my testing. I have screenshots to prove it if necessary.

debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer =3

I'm going with Google on this one as it's value is based on screen refresh rate of 60hz. Should not be set to more than 90 but I usually go with 95. It's been said that anything more is a waste of resources.

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec = 95

I will ad more build.props in the future.

For those who miss the good days of chainfire 3D.... Anti aliasing is here in my script.

Anti aliasing and 32 bytes per pixel. The FPS may also get unlocked on some roms. Download and drop it in your init.d folder + reboot. Using an overclocked GPU is suggested.

FYI.. Using the current script set at a 32 bit color depth with cause a loss of detail in bright white scenes. Also known as blooming. However, this will give the effect of a higher contrast ratio. 24 bit color depth will provide full detail.

Use at own risk. This hasn't been tested on all roms and kernels.

32 bit color depth

I was already running a couple of these and added the rest and everything seems fine. I used build.prop editor without any issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
No. what I was trying to explain is that the refresh rate of 60hz is used as part of the equation to calculate the value of max events. This doesn't change the refresh rate.

As far as the script...

Move the script file to /system/etc/init.d and reboot.

Don't use rom toolbox.

Hope this helps you out.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XxGoKoUxX:
The whole process is pretty simple on what I have done. I will explain my situation here and my question that has got be baffled.

So it all started about two weeks ago, where I was flashing LiquidSmooth on my phone. I had a Touch-type CWM. It isn't mega old but it's pretty old for CWM, I haven't updated in a while (as i've seen there are updates to recent ones).

Anywho, I did a complete wipe, used the darkside wipe, alongside with the darkside cache wipe.

I think this was my fault, so please correct me anyone if I am wrong here. I accidentally hit "reboot phone" instead of "reboot bootloader"

I got a permabrick from this whole ordeal. It was a permabrick because It said QHSUSB_DLOAD in the device manager, looking this up further confirmed my reasoning. I didn't want to jtag because that invovles removing the phone to pieces and soldering on wires etc. etc.

So I resorted to send it out to Samsung.

All is well when it came back. I made sure this time the whole phone was setup properly.

So I use Odin install for CWM and SU was installed via CWM. I install an older version of CWM (non-touch, i believe 1st revision as i've posted in one of the threads).

I kept stock ROM, everything was working okay and suddenly, KERPLUNK, it went back into permanent brick after I deleted cache partition, dalvik cache, and battery cache wipe. I didn't do fix permissions or anything, just hit reboot afterwards.

This is a super head scratcher here..... Anyone know where I went wrong?

Any insight here is greatly appreciated! :good:

P.S. I am now sending in my phone TWICE to Samsung for repairs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
If you are on the most up to date CWM, do not use the scripts. They are no longer needed, and will cause problems( hard brick though, never heard of) The second time, im stumped. I suggest go to TWRP and ditch the scripts. Latest TWRP does not need it

I finally jumped in the water and flashed twrp! Yay!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
All the steps you say you did don't point to a brick. But one thing caught my eye! You said you were flashing liquidsmooth? What File did you flash? Did it have Hercules in the name? Because if it didn't then it's not for our phone.. I only ask because a lot of other people made that mistake
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
great call on that I had to educate a few users that the d2tmo is not for our phone but indeed the S3. Good catch on your part and it sounds like user error as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XxGoKoUxX:
:D

Could you please educate me with a link referring to what TWRP is? Sorry, i'm still fairly new to the scene and all i've ever been educated upon is CWM.

Nice! What is TWRP and how is it like?

I've flashed the hercules ROM. I know this for sure because Liquidsmooth was working, it was extremely glitchy (playing games gave me pixelated actions sometimes, and using something like gameCIH/Game Guardian was unworkable). So i decided to ditch it and was getting ready to flash Jedi Mind Trick.

After the whole hard bricking ordeal, I decided to stick to stock rom, and even on that, I just flashed CWM and SU ONLY. Rebooted, and deleted the cache's (like i've posted to you) with absolutely no success. It baffled me that I bricked the phone AGAIN too! :confused:

Yes..... there is something wrong, i feel it is a user error also, but i'm very unsure where to even start

Once again, all of your insight is well appreciated! I just do not want to hardbrick my phone AGAIN and have to send it to Samsung. I am not allowed to even think of a replacement because this was a b-day present a year or two ago from my fiance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DM_Sledge:
You say that it is bricked again. Do you mean by that, that you cannot get into recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Flash this in recovery, reboot recovery, and you will have TWRP!! :D

TWRP 2.3.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XxGoKoUxX:
Yes, it is perma-bricked, meaning the only method of fixing the brick is jtagg'ing

Upon plugging it into device manager, I get the prompt "QHSUSB_DLOAD" and phone doesn't even boot on no matter what combinations I make.

Thank you LoopDo, I will do this after I get my phone home again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I have this phone, and none of the steps you listed would brick the device. Even with no ROM on the phone, you should still be able to get into recovery.

Is there something you aren't telling us?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XxGoKoUxX:
Nope, wouldn't be a reason why I would lie because then the problem will never be resolved.... I'm kind of nervous on reflashing ONE more time after the phone comes home again....

The phone has been fixed once AGAIN, and it is in the process of being shipped back to me.

Phone will be home Wednesday and I will give it ONE more try :(

Wish me luck!

P.S. my PC has been glitchy lately, so that MAY or MAY NOT contribute to the permabrick, then again the brick doesn't happen until I flash stuff via CWM.

P.S.S. I've since re-installed Win 7 again, it hasn't been glitchy since :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DroidDonX:
You most likely flashed the Wrong Liquidsmooth ROM (incompatible Kernel), and it hard bricked the phone. It happened to me the same way, and I had to send it in for JTAG.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cipsaz:
I have bricked my phone installing the Liquidsmooth ROM too. I downloaded the wrong ROM, though. The thread should have a big ****in warning to double check the ROM you are about to download, otherwise your phone is a toast. There were more people who bricked their phones by installing the Liquidsmooth.

Well, I got it back from the warranty and the phone looks good. Installed that Liquidsmooth again and played for a day. Tried other JB ROMs. Most of them are OK in terms of battery life and smoothness, but there is something wrong with the signal. People always say my voice isn't clear. I got tired of all this BS and testing new ROMs and went to back to ICS and won't look back, not anytime.

Don't use darkside scripts, btw. You don't need that anymore.
