Easiest way to do it is load them up onto a computer and if they display a thumbnail and play/view without issues then they are fine.

At that rate I'd rather just delete all my music since it's all on google music and I'm usually on wifi anyway. That's 20 gigs out of like 24 used on my SD card so... that would probably be the easiest route.

I have a Wildfire S with stock ROm and bought another one with Cyanogen-whatever-mod-7. I dont like it, so I want the same unlocked factory ROM just I have on the other phone. Is it possible to copy a ROM from one phone to another? If yes, how? I'm completly stupid about this ROM things, so please try to speak to me as you would speak to a child. Or a dumb... :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Thrawed:
Yes, but it would be far easier to just install a stock rom on your cm7 device.

Thanks. Could you tell me which one is the latest unlocked ROM in that list and what should I do to install that, please? I'm in UK (if this information is relevant).
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
Backup your rom via recovery......copy the backup to the other phone......restore that backup from recovery......

I'm puzzled by the fact that you have 2 WFSs
[HTC Wildfire S] tcxbalage:
Thanks. Which program should I use for recovery-backup?
[HTC Wildfire S] r.zikmund:
If you have rooted WFS (both) then do it with Clockworkmod recovery, it backups complete system/apps/sd-ext including call logs, sms etc

edit. sorry I didnt read your post carefully :)

you can use rezo609's All-In-One Utility (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1697985) to get stock recovery to your phone and I supose you will just make factory reset and will be on stock rom, but you should make Titanium Backup of your apps cause you will lose them

Hi,

Recently discover a way to obtain root on S3 without ODIN flashing.

The security hole is in kernel, exactly with the device /dev/exynos-mem.

This device is R/W by all users and give access to all physical memory :confused: ... what's wrong with Samsung ?

Its like /dev/mem but for all.

Three libraries seems to use /dev/exynos-mem:

/system/lib/hw/camera.smdk4x12.so

/system/lib/hw/gralloc.smdk4x12.so

/system/lib/libhdmi.so

Many devices are concerned :

Samsung Galaxy S2

Samsung Galxy Note 2

MEIZU MX

potentialy all devices who embed exynos processor (4210 and 4412) which use Samsung kernel sources.

The good news is we can easily obtain root on these devices and the bad is there is no control over it.

Ram dump, kernel code injection and others could be possible via app installation from Play Store. It certainly exists many ways

to do that but Samsung give an easy way to exploit. This security hole is dangerous and expose phone to malicious apps.

To be continued ...

In attachment, binary and source for root shell.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
Pretty cool and advanced method, thanks on the source of it. One had to actually come up with that or find the exploit even. Ironical since there's comments in the ramfs init files warning to set the permissions correctly.

Might be more meaningful if you posted this in the original development forum or the Note 2 developer talk forum as more people might be interested in it.

Posted too in GN2 and maybe a moderator could move this one to original development to avoid multiple post

Now that I've gotten jelly bean, Am I supposed to be able to expand notifications for text messages? Or quick reply? My emails seem to default to the expanded notification, and text notifications seem to look exactly the same. Galaxy s3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryano89:
Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Just check by pinching in sideways on the notification. I'm not on the OTA but that's what Samsung changed the expandable notifications gesture to on VRBLK3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
4.1.2 has expandable notifications, i think.

OTA was 4.1.1

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kperajis:
I just recently flashed Cleanrom 5.5.1 on my stock GS3. I factory reset the phone then flashed the ROM. Everything works great but today in my car I noticed that the Bluetooth is not functioning properly. I cannot understand a word the other person is saying, it is seriously garbled. However A2DP streaming works just fine.

Any ideas why Bluetooth is not working correctly?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zenboy444:
I have had the same problem since I switched from ICS based ROMs to JB based ROMs, I believe Cleanrom 5.5.1 is JB 4.1.2, right?

I never had problems with my bluetooth when I was using ICS or Cyanogenmod10 based on JB.

For me, the problem has been car specific. I have used the bluetooth with other cars devices without problem. The voices get garbled only when I use it with my car (Infiniti/Nissan). I have not been able to figure out a fix yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kperajis:
That is interesting...because my car is an Infiniti as well. Why would the issue be car specific? It has never given me problem on ICS roms.

What should I to do begin troubleshooting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nova5:
It would be specific due to manufacturer of the bluetooth module supplying Chip X. I think i'm running into this with an aftermarket HU. But I'll see after the weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kperajis:
Ok so I flashed back to the stock factory image of JB and still have the same issue. Since that is the same as the OTA update, would calling VZ customer care perhaps help me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
Hey XDA!

As most of us know, Wind released Jelly Bean OTA last night.

I'm having trouble updating my IC (Rooted stock firmware) -> Jelly Bean (Rooted stock firmware)

This is what happens:

My S3 downloads the software update. - Completed.

*Reboots

Starts installing. Until it Fails and shows..

---

CWM- Based Recovery V5.5.0.4

E: Invalid command argument

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

---

Then i choose the option 'reboot system now'

I'm back to my IC- Stock Rooted (Old software)

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Greatly Appreciated!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crusecontrl:
If I'm not mistaken you have to un root(voodoo) and use stock recover to do OTA. Or just dl the pre-rooted OTA and Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
The 'pre-rooted OTA and Odin' options sounds easy.

Where can i get the pre-rooted OTA file?

If you scroll down to the bottom of the first post. You will see 'wind' which is what I'm looking for. All of them are for the IC software. But none for jelly bean.

Am I mistaken somewhere?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] durvall:
Odin to the stock ICS wind and then run the update.. Must be non rooted stock to complete the update.. Get it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kalm_Traveler:
I just had the same error trying to apply the update with CWM.

What worked flawlessly for me was to simply push the root66 pre-rooted update with ODIN, right on top of the old rooted stock ICS.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
Yes that will work aswell. But all my settings and +2000 pictures will be removed etc.

From what I understand. I need to remove CWM and it should be able to update like normal. Once it's gone, I can update like you suggested, but will still have everything on my phone. I may loose the root, but apparently it's easy to get back.

Your thoughts?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
Hey Kalm,

I see what you mean. And the root66 JB is released for the t999 version of the sammy s3.

Mine is the T999V. And build is VLALH2.

Would there be an issue with that?

*sorry for the delay in response. My account has a 5min delay due to being a relatively 'new user'
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neysito:
Guys this is usually the difference about upgrading using stock firmware between OTA and desktop Odin.

Stock rooted with CWM + OTA jellybean = fail

Stock rooted with stock recovery + OTA jellybean = success but loose root

Stock rooted with CWM + Odin stock jellybean = success but loose root and CWM

Stock rooted with stock recovery + Odin stock jellybean = success but loose root.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kalm_Traveler:
I was on stock rooted with CWM and did the Odin root66 'stock rooted' JB push. Had to re-Odin CWM, but that was it. No complications.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neysito:
That's correct, if you Odin the root66 you will keep root and will loose only CWM (that can be reinstalled again). My T999V was rooted with superuser and when I Odin root66 jellybean it added superSU (Wich comes with root66), therefore I ended up with both, not a big deal to solve but something to keep in mind.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
Glad it worked for you!

Which network did stock root JB with? And was that the same network provider that your with?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kalm_Traveler:
Super glad it worked so easily too! :laugh:

I am on T-Mobile here in the states, I believe the .tar file was created for Tmo specifically - if that's what you're asking?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
Oh I see. I assume you used ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 ) the T-mobile UVDLJA. As Jelly Bean is only released for that model.

I was asking to figure out if you were on another network, and used a t-mobile software version on your phone to pull off Jelly Bean. Or even if that possible.

What you did, is ideally what i want to do. But Im on the Wind network and that link doesn't show a release for JB anywhere for that provider. Does that mean I'm out of luck?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
Side note:

I keep getting a popup to software update to Jelly Bean. Which i naively try once a while and keeps failing.

Does anyone know how to stop this notification from showing up. Just need to remove it temporarily until the main issue of upgrading gets solved
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kalm_Traveler:
It looks like he has some updates for Wind on that page as well, but I'm not sure if they're JB or not...or rooted for that matter. I'm sure it is possible to use the Tmo file to upgrade and modify something to let the phone still work on Wind's network though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Easy way is odin to stock ics then go ota route ...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
This may work but since the official Update is released I would prefer to stick with that one. As a method may exist to have the original jb on wind and reverting to that will be an extra step.

Nice tip though
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noob4lyfe:
Ok so heres my update so far:

I've lost the settings and a few apps. Although I backed everything up. I click import settings from my backup and it doesn't seem to bring me back to my personal settings. Basically does nothing. Theres Kies for you... Good for marketing, but practally useless.

Anyways. I went from: ICS (rooted) -> ICS (unrooted)-> Jelly Bean

Now. How do I root my Jelly Bean (sounds dirty huh)?

I may be missing it, but how do you access Google Now from the lock screen? Unfortunately, you still can't change the lock screen targets (which is just stupid), and Google isn't in the normal top position like it is on other JB phones with the ring on the lock screen.

I really don't get not allowing the user to decide the lock screen targets. I don't use the stock messaging app, but I can't change the target to open Handcent, so that a useless target I have sitting there.

I've got a HTC Sensation XE.

Build Number - 3.33.720.106

Kernel version 3.0.16-g31a4fc7

HBoot version 1.29

I've spent about 3 hours reading about Rooting, flashing custom roms and I'm still confused as hell.

From what I've read, S-OFF is a pretty complicated process for users with HBoot version 1.27+

We have to use the wire trick, etc.

So I have a few questions and need some help/guidance.

I'm sorry if my questions are silly but I'm very confused, I've read like 15+ different links in the last 3hours and its all messed up in my head.

Please help me understand clearly and/or refer me to a few Beginner guides(with advanced guides followed).
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
in simple words you have 2 options:

1)unlock your bootloader with htcdev unlock method

see here http://www.htcdev.com/

and then root your device

see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632553 or

2)use the juopunutbear method to S-OFF and root your device

see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661631

now to answer to your questions:

1)with S-ON involves the first option.but then before flashing a rom,flash first 4ext recovery

so you can use the smartflash feature from it(only for S-ON DEVICES)

2)with S-OFF you are completely unlock your device and have the ability to flash firmware,radios,rils(which you can not do with S-ON)

3)it is more advantageous.

but before flashing a rom the only thing you have to do is read carefully any installation instructions(the same goes for S-ON)

4)it is the same i assume

5)go with All other devices
[HTC Sensation] thetearer:
1. How is firmware different from ROM?

2. I thought firmware was the same as ROM?

3. After unlocking my bootloader with S-ON, I can install any custom ROM right? or Are there only certain ROMS that are available for S-ON phones?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
2)no they are different.firmware is flashing in a different partition and the rom in a different too

3)you can install any custom rom you want but you must have the appropriate fw version to boot a rom

if you have a gingerbread fw version you can install only gingerbread roms,if you have 3.32fw or 3.33fw you can install any ics or jb roms

but remember for S-ON devices use 4ext recovery to flash any rom and before flashing enable smartflash from it

edit:actually for S-OFF devices too it is better to have 4ext(but no need for smartflash)

about the first question i am still thinking the right answer:o:)

maybe someone else can tell you
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
technical definition of a rom: Rom stands for Read Only Memory and technically speaking it refers to the internal storage of a device which is supposed to contain the operating systems instructions.the instructions are stored in read only memory,, firmware is the read only operating systems that stay firmly inplace without modification access to the users of the device, firmware in computing is a software that is embedded in a hardware device. it is often provided on flash roms or is a binary image file that can be uploaded onto a existing hardware by a user. firmware is identified as the computer program in a read only memory or ROM integrated circuit.a hardware part number or other configuration identifier is usually used to represent the software. firmware is required for the rom. basically the firmware is the operating system containing the android operating system .hope this helps .best wishes

About the reboot recovery - after talking with a few members - I think it related to busybox not able to recognize or running the code. Unless we have an updated CWM with latest working busybox, I don't think this function is working. There is away to fix it - rewrite the code, in which out of my capability.

Temp fix for getting to recovery is using the new tab (20 toggles) or my new up date with recovery reboot.
