[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MegaMan X:
for the first page, I found out something that would be interesting for owners of the T999v model specifically.

Even though the T999 & T999v are supposed to be identically the same, it turns out they are very different. I found out via the hard way that the T999v can not accept any T999 radios, as you will get an unknown baseband, IMEI, and IMEI SV afterwards if you flash a T999 radio. Flashing any T999v ICS radio back to the T999v will restore the baseband, IMEI, and IMEI SV.

As such, I was trying to get a T999v Jelly Bean radio to go with a CM10.1 rom. I was able to rip the T999v Jelly Bean radio from a KIES source:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2099315

I was also able to find out two things:

1.) If you flash the entire Wind T999v image (meaning the stock Jelly Bean image from KIES), it will update your radio and rom to Jelly Bean. Afterwards, if you were to install a custom recovery, and flash CM10.1 (I tried Nightlies from Jan 11 - Jan 14), CM10.1 will not recognize the radio and will think it is a CDMA phone. In the phone status, IMEI & IMEI SV status are no longer there, replaced with a unknown MEID & PRL status.

2.) If you flash just the radio in any non-AOSP rom, it will work fine. If you flash the radio on any AOSP-based rom, you will get the MEID/PRL problem mentioned in 1.

In conclusion, I think all the developers developing AOSP-based rom needs to work out the kinks regarding this radio specifically. The solution is instantly rectified when flashing any of the T999v ICS radio. So it has to be the ROM and not the Radio that's causing the MEID/PRL error.

That is great that you put that all out there, but... there is a thread here for all things involving t999v http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775616 I don't have it and usually read right over anything to do with it in every thread I search, and/or read through. I think there are more threads pertaining to T999V model also.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Yes we heard you and agree that this should be stuck.

Now it is for everyone to send new Users to this thread and that way we will hopefully curtail all the "Best ROM" threads.

Non XDA ROMs

Are there any non xda roms? And if there are, can they be listed here?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Google?

And I wouldn't list them here just on the basis that this forum is moderated and a very reliable source for quality and safe development and hack sharing. Just my opinion.

You can always join other forums/sites and find out for yourself.. But u will not find any site as reputable and as quality as XDA.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
Thank you for the reply. I don't want to sound offensive so I'l try not too. I am sure there are other very reliable sources for quality and safe development and hacks other than xda. To avoid a war over this I'll not respond to any argumentative related post. You are welcomed to message me if you feel strongly about your position.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
I don't think that he is trying to be argumentative, just saying that Google would help find outlets other than XDA for ROMs and such rather than asking on XDA.

I'll try to clarify what GalaxyS3Guy was trying to say. You can always link to ROM/kernel/mods/...downloads (example: Mediafire, Dev-Host, Dropbox,..). However you cannot link to another site that has pay-per-click links or a forum of its own (example: Rootzwiki, AndroidForums, DroidForums,...) as that is a violation of Rule 11 (see below).

Plus not to mention that you would not get support on this site for a ROM hosted on another forum/site.

11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.

•Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
Got it, xda is a closed community and I will of course and as always respect the rules.

Serenity rom now has multi view working!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
'bout time somebody did this. THANKS!!!!

Awesome - so many people have wanted something like this.

You left some out though. I've tried most (but not all) of the ones on your list. Some I used for just days, some for weeks. Today I switched to one I don't see on your list and it should be on your list: Synergy. :good:

I also tried GalaxyMod, but, I didn't know at the time that I had to flash another kernel to get the WiFi to work so I went on to DarthStalker less than a day later. My battery life was not good enough on DarthStalker so I moved on to Synergy today (w/ faux 015 kernel). I may try going back to DarthStalker if I can figure out how to get the awesome battery life that I had with the Team Sonic Resurection 7.1.1 (which is the ROM that I have used the longest, by far).

There are two reasons I left that 7.1.1: tethering wasn't working for me, it doesn't have pdroid (oh, and Flash stopped working for some reason). IMO there should not BE ANY ROMs without pdroid.

I'll look into adding it but with plenty of precautions to people as it seems it isn't ready and good to flash right away. They need to read before flashing anyways.

Good job on the Bible! It has helped me a lot with getting ROMs on my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
Suggestion

Suggestion, Separate the T-mobile ROMs into two sections, T-Mobile ROMs and Ported ROMs, with the ported ROMs being the ones that do not support wifi calling. After all if the ROM doesn't support wifi calling it isn't truly a T-mobile ROM. I think this will help newbies.

Looking into it, from what I've found there is NO Odin for Mac working... there seems to be something called Heimdall that could work...not sure. ..I'm working to careful as I'm on t mobile 4.1.1sgh T999UVDLJC and OS Mac 10.8.2 Mountain Lion...so I'm proceeding with caution as nothing I've found speak specifically to my OS...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Doubt anything will be labeled with the latest update of ...LJC if you try and it fails nothing will happen. I just rooted my brother's S III on his LapTop and it didn't work the first time, cause of the new update... so had to do the root 66 method. Nothing was harmed though. I'm almost positive no one has harmed their device using ODIN to flash something that is meant for their device.

Went through the Op and the subsequent Kernel Post. Looks good. If you wish/agree, kindly also post the distribution channel of each Rom. Not all are on Goo.

Would it be possible (or Advisable) to Post latest Recovery Versions' threads ? Also it would be really cool to see All the Radios mentioned. Doc has an excellent Thread over here. Perhaps that can be linked ?

If I really have to be picky, I'd suggest post the Rom Links as Hyperlinked word <Rom Name>, rather than the full XDA URL.

P.S. - In the Op what do you mean by needing SGH-T999 Writeup ? What are you looking for that's not in here ? Are you looking to describe how LTE is crippled ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I'm not gonna post stickies in a sticky, its pointless. This is meant for roms and kernels, since there wasn't one. I know all the stickies and where everything is on this forum for the most part, doc does has a great write up... naddict has a flashable recovery list in the dev section and dees as well.

I'm not sure what you're talking about with LTE at all so I'll read my op and look for anything involving LTE.

I don't want to give a download link directly to roms cause I want the users to go look at the op and read, kinda the point... And I'm not going to update the download links everyday they change. You can make a post and upkeep if it if you want.

T-Mobile SGS III
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Apologies if I came across incorrect. My apologies. Wasn't my intent. As I said, those were just suggestions if you agree to. At no point I wanted you to must make the said changes.

As to the LTE, the OP does not make a reference. There is a comment early in the OP

It was to this that I replied wondering what it meant and if you were planning to refer to the LTE antenna issue.

As far as ROMs are concerned, no I am not suggesting providing download links. Rather I was referring to the ROM OP Links you do have right now in OP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Like do a full write of a rom that I'm not willing to test or haven't had the honor too yet. I don't have the LTE version and won't and haven't even really looked into it at all. Kinda just ignoring it for now to be honest haha. If the time comes and there is more then Docs thread for the flashable rom, then I'll get into asking someone for assistance with LTE stuff. Until then, meh.

And no need to apologize. I come off as a prick but I just respond with no emotion really sometimes so it just reads that way, yes my employees and co-workers like to get angry with me too lol.

Hi All,

I am having troubled battery stat since I last flashed to a custom rom.

The battery will NOT reach the CHARGED status, and hence the battery stat did not reset and go on for days.

This morning I have decided to do a full wipe, but it appear that the same problem persist, at 68% on AC (most of the time stop at a random value) , it says NOT Charging.

I also thought that it could be the battery that was giving the problem, so i tried with a spare battery that i have, same results. Even when i Swap battery the stats stays.

Screenshot of battery stat. with AC power connected after a full wipe

Many people (myself included) have been having similar issues as of late. I too have separate batteries, neither of which is older than 6 months, and both exhibit similar behavior.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dholl2000:
SOLVED

HI, wow, old thread - the good news (for me - hopefully for others) is that I did fix.

The root cause of the problem is that I flashed cyanogenmod which requires Kernel 2.3.4/Gingerbread 2.3.4 (I believe from memory).

It appears you must first flash the kernel by 'fudging' the 2.3.4 kernel onto the device - there is no official way to complete this.

My Alcatel had only 2.1 (Eclair).

Despite Alcatel saying that they do support upgrading to 2.3.4 - my experience conflicts with this, they don't

- and their software does not advise of any upgrade available - so don't bother.

Please see and follow the Moonstone Rom installation - this will guide you safely in getting 2.3.4 onto your device (if Alcatel like ine)

link to moonstone-Rom/and-guide here:

http://ot-990.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/themoonstone-rom.html

When Moonstone is on the device you can safely follow the guide to get Cyanogenmod 7 on your Alcatel.

This is the easiest way I found to get Cyanogenmod 7 on my Alcatel.

I can't comment on your device (softwinerEvb a13 tablet) - but if you are advising you are getting the same problems as I did -

then check what Android version you are using and make sure this matches the Cyanogenmod version you are trying to flash.

Hope above helps others.

I have an HTC HD7s from AT&T and I can only update as far as Mango, so I'm missing the Refresh and Tango updates.

Is anyone else able to update to those, or are we all stuck at Mango?

Also, what about the Windows Phone 7.8 update, is anybody able to get that one since Microsoft announced that all Windows Phone 7.x devices will receive a free upgrade to it?

Thank you!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
The Tango updates aren't getting pushed out in official updates for the HD7.

To get the Tango updates you will have to either use WP Cab Sender and the Tango update Cabs, The Zune forced update trick or flash a custom rom that has Tango or 7.8 RTM 8858.

As far as the 7.8 update we probably won't see it released officially for the HD7...maybe, only time will tell.
