dealextreme, gotta love them koreans!

you're saying that that non-official battery works better that stock samsung? i recall seeing 1800 mah....

still.....bettetbatterystats might help to identify the drain source of the device.

if nothing funny shows up...and you already travelled thru different ROMs...than we might be talking hardware or callibration, and you guys dont want that.

from sii xda-ded
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PATRiOT96:
It was working at that moment, of course my battery only lasted 3 months (chinese) :P

Still the original one is ****ed up as well so its a hardware problem!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snamer:
Hey... he said that if the phone isnt charging it still has the information. If it take and replace the battery the phone turn on without pressing power button.

In battery stats he can see everything, battery %, all processes, everything normal.

He have 4.0.3 and u ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PATRiOT96:
I am running Biftor 4.7 but its nothing to do with software. I've tried over 20 ROM's and still happens :P

Purchasing a new battery won't help either, if he has the phone's warranty make him go to Samsung Support, if he doesn't try to find stores in Coimbra that fix smartphones and request them to check the battery/usb connections, you will probably ending up buying a new usb connector/connection.

flash original rom, pack it up and send it away and pretend to be mad at the guy who sold it to you.

works like a charm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GBP85:
If I'm creating a duplicate post, I apologize. However, I am trying to find a zip of CWM Touch 6.0.2.3.

As I am creating this post, I see that there may be a recovery in other forums. Is the recovery the same across all devices? I just want to make sure I get the right one for my S3.

Thank you,

The one and only GBP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktmdave7:
Just made these .zips...

CWM 6.0.2.3 (SGS3 T-Mobile)

CWM 6.0.2.3 Touch (SGS3 T-Mobile)

Flash either of them in Recovery Mode.

CWM SITE
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GBP85:
Thank you, I really appreciate your help.

So I know how to do that the next time, how did you create the zip file? When I was at the CWM site, all I could download was an IMG file.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dscott973:
Try using twrp its nice and user friendly if you want an alternative touch based recovery just download goo manager from the play store and give it a try can't hurt
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktmdave7:
HOW to create a .zip (flashable rom when new version comes out)

1. Started with older CWM .zip ROM that I knew worked in past...

2. Download Newest CWM Recovery .img file from CWM SITE...

3. Extract older CWM .zip and rename to newest Version number... example "Recovery_CWM_v6.0.2.3"

4. rename newest CWM recovery .img to "recovery.img" and copy to your extracted folder. (Write over older version)

5. Re-compress with WinRAR or 7-Zip and make sure it's .ZIP format, not .RAR or another type.

6. All done

*** All your doing is taking recovery image and updateing into newly created .zip

*** in flash mode, the Recovery option to INSTALL (or flash any zip) always reads META-INF\com\google\android\"updater-script"

the script it reads for this example is...

ui_print("Please Wait");

ui_print("Flashing recovery");

show_progress(0.200000, 10);

package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p18");

show_progress(0.100000, 0);

ui_print("Success!!!");

so you can see it 's just gonna put "recovery.img" in your "mmcblk0p18" Partition which we can see is the recovery partition.

there are many partitions like System, Data, Flexrom, Cache, Dvalk Cache, SD Card, etc...they all have same start with different ending numbers mmcblk0p18

I agree with dscott973, that TWRP v2.3.3.1 is the best RECOVERY ! I'd change to that one (my opinion)

You can do the same thing by puting TWRP image renamed to "recovery.img" in the same format as this thread example (and rename folder accordingly),

but very important, always make sure your using the same type. Make sure your using for Samsung Galaxy S3 (TMobile type).

Example : Don't mix Verizon or AT&T type (just know what your doing and label it correctly)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GBP85:
Thank you for your help. I'll take a look at TWRP. I just wanted the latest recovery because I'm considering upgrading to 4.2.1. I've read that the older recoveries struggle with the new file system, due to multiple users.

Merry Christmas

^So true, found that out the hard way... :silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] justinjrdawson:
ok. new noob here. so i have downloaded the file to root and install cwm on my gs3 from rootgalaxys3.com. the cwm in it won't allow me to flash a new rom. 'assert failed' is the only thing that keeps showing up. i looked into it and i think i have to upgrade my cwm version. so i found this link to the touch version for the galaxy s3. after i download it and i go to throw it in to the PDA slot in odin. its not there. so i extract it and i find 'meta-inf' file and a "recover.img" i can end up putting that in to the pda slot. BUT it ends in .img... is this ok or does the file have to end in .tar to flash properly and work?

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Beniuec:
Download ROM manager for cwm or goo manager for twrp and flash recovery from app in goo manager hit the menu button and flash recovery script. I dont know how to do it off hand in ROM manager but it is in there
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktmdave7:
The 2 files I posted earlier here are for FLASHING in RECOVERY only, not made for ODIN install.

another separate way to install Recovery is...

A) Download app from Market called "Terminal Emulator" (it's like using ADB commands on cell phone instead of PC).

B) use the same "recovery.img" from either of my 2 Zips earlier posted and then copied it to External SDCard (name of .img file has to match same name as in text below)

C) Run Terminal Emulator and enter these 2 command lines (Cell has to be ROOTED for su permissions to work)

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

D) Check to make sure you have Recovery.

-with cell being off, Use {Volume Down, Home, Power} to load up recovery and check it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
To directly answer the question, you can only flash .tar files with Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabrand:
Hello all, I am very new to all of this ROM and Kernel stuff so I'd like some help from you all, if possible. I would like, if possible, to use Paranoid Android on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (International) but I don't know how to go about doing this. I recently installed Cyanogen Mod 10.1(?) on my phone and I am bewildered and dumbfounded by the amount of functions and what their purposes are. I'm also very, very interested in themes but I can't seem to wrap my head around how they work and how one applies them to your phone.

All in all, I am very new to all of this and I would like some help if possible! ^.^
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
install the Paranoid android rom in the same way u installed CM10.1 on ur phone ma8:)

just follow the install instructions on the main page of that paranoid android rom thread.

also check for themes in the 'themes and apps' section that are compatible with paranoid android rom and follow the install instruction again there:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabrand:
But, how do I do a factory reset if I already have a rom installed? Will I have to go into Download mode and restore like I did when I was installing CM10? Or what? What do I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suburbadroid:
do you have clockworkmod installed? you need to have that to wipe system properelly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
for doing factory reset u have to go to recovery ma8:)

and also use the same recovery to flash the new rom (paranoid android in ur case)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabrand:
Yes, I believe I have it installed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
then use the same to do factory reset as well as to install the paranoid rom:)

PS- since u have stated in ur OP that u have recently installed CM10.1 rom on ur phone, then u should be aware of the steps u followed to install the same right:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabrand:
So after doing a reset/restore, I follow the steps in the CyanogenMod Wiki except I switch out the CyanogenMod rom with the Paranoid Android rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suburbadroid:
ok if you have paranoid android already downloaded, copy it to sd card. to get into clockwork recovery.turn phone off.Now press and hold home button then at same time as your holding that press and hold volume up button, now with still holding them press the on button (keep holding down for 6 seconds) then youll boot into recovery.then wipe data, then cache then advanced settings dalvik.then flash new rom.and reboot phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabrand:
I'm confused. O.o

I have no done a factory reset or whatever it is called using the ClockWork thing. My phone is back to how it used to be before I installed CyanogenMod.

What I want to know is if I can use the steps included in the CyanogenMod Wiki in order to install the ParanoidAndroid ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Yes :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suburbadroid:

Gents, I've been working on this for a bit now, and I think I'll share it here. I'll try to keep this post short.

The line below with the icons is the link to the store page. I'll make it super corny so you can't miss it.

Minecraft Nether Portal Live Wallpaper

It ain't much, but if you love Minecraft, you may like this.

Make your device look like a Nether Portal! (A normal one is 2 wide by 3 tall. If you're in landscape, it reverses them.)

Unlike (stock) Minecraft, you can set a denser grid, with more portals.

Particles & sound are optional. Frame rate is both unlimited (As fast as your device can handle) or, limit from 1FPS to 60FPS (assuming you can handle it).

Unless you have a Galaxy Nexus like I, you may need to fiddle with settings to get it looking right, in terms of particles. I'm working on this. :silly:

To be honest, the sound drives me insane.

tl;dr for the lazy people: I made a Nether Portal for your device. [LINK TO PLAY STORE]

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j3nnning:
hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I was helping a friend to flash his stock X8 to a custom ROM.

I was going smoothly throughout the whole process, until I'm stuck here now.

What I did was unlock the bootloader using this guide.

Then I rooted his phone and installed xRecovery.

Next thing was I tried to install GingerZaraki, I formatted the microSD card before placing the ROM file into it, then proceed to flash it. I skipped a step (which I really shouldn't) which is flashing the kernel 1st, because I assumed that the kernel would come with the ROM.

Now apparently I'm wrong with this assumption, as the phone cannot boot pass the splash screen (Sony Ericsson screen), and I can't boot into recovery.

I tried flashing the kernel using FlashTool, but apparently there is an error while flashing

Any idea what to do?
