Haven't gave up on you yet, my phones still alive :P , I hate to ask, but do you think new ROM will be up within 24Hrs?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well I should be back home in a hour or so then im gonna scrap version 1.0 and do a total rebuild. Im gonna try the ATT based rom once more and if that dont work im thinking I might try a tmo base
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
The galaxy mod Rom is based on the tmobile base! Can you please try to work with either the note 2 port or at least stay within an att base? I like using roms with a base of the carrier it was made for.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
Galaxy mod uses a Verizon base
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Im gonna try and stay with a ATT base. Thats my goal anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Hey bacon what windows pc program do you use to zip files with?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Oh yea more info for you guys.. the guys goo im graciously accepted my application so I will also be uploading to goo im as well....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bidi1985:
Tell me we will see something tonight ....and I will be up all night.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxsashixx:
Hehe sorry for giving you guys grief! Didn't know it stopped at 98% :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
No not tonight but im thinking tomorrow evening....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ok I rebuilt it. Now im gonna zip it and upload it....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jawonder:
Here here !, lets have it .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ahh haa found something else I think I screwed up the first time... this time instead of using root explorer to zip which never really compressed it and left it at over a gig this I used 7zip on my pc which actually compressed it to 801mb. Im thinking root explorer screwed up the signing of the zip as well. Ok ill upload it to goo im and post a link when its done but here is the thing I wanted to state first.

I dont have time to test it tonight so im gonna leave it up to you guys.

Do you wanna wait and let me test and upload it tomorrow? Or do I have any takers for testing tonight?

If someone or hell all of you decide to test it I have to edit the op saying tonights version is untested... so its up to you guys let me know. If even one wants to test ill upload it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
hell ill test it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jawonder:
I'll test too no prob .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
I'll test.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ok ill start the upload. Also I dont think this is gonna change your modem. So you should be ok there. Let me know about the modem and any other problems. It should flash this time I hope. I redone the build prop and updater script using note++ instead of wordpad which changed them to read only text files. And used 7zip instead of root explorer to zip so im keeping my fingers crossed. Wish I had time to test it. Be sure to make a backup and check the md5
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tutchthesky7:
I'll test when its up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:
I just put my 32g in the phone...no formatting and it worked no problem with stock.also worked on aokp and cm and neither of those support ex fat so it must be fat32. I'm getting a 64g soon..that should be fun since they come ex fat...we shall see.

Dude...I'm dying to flash this lol....just had to throw that in there!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 315phatboi:
I to would love to try this rom been

! waiting with fingers crossed that all goes well
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
The rom has finally finished uploading. I updated the op with the link and some more info....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] el3men2od:
no go for me,it fail to install
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bidi1985:
Same here
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jawonder:
Downloaded the zip and was about to try but i saw that the same problem exist so i'll hold off .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Unhived__Mind:
Doh...bummer...guess I'm holding off also...don't stress though bro..we all want a note 2 port so we got patience :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 315phatboi:
got it

:good:ok guy I think I got it working this is what I did I opened up the zip and seen that the zip had a folder that had all the system stuff in it so this what I did moved all the system things to the main part of the zip and it flashed but now im at the Samsung logo waiting to boot up into system sorry for the bad words

stuck at Samsung logo and recovery is broken
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Its probably his updater script that seems to be the problem. Can someone extract the updater-script out of the meta-inf folder and post it for me. I wanna try this rom out too.

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

you know when you move all the things to the main part you basically only have a boot logo. the files have to be in the system folder
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 315phatboi:
if you open up the zip you'll see a folder and inside that folder is the meta-inf folder the system folder and the boot.img and and installbusybox files i moved everything out of that folder and put it on the mian part of the zip
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
holy crap you are right i overlooked that. to fix it you are going to have to unzip the whole rom and rezip it not just move the files. ima create a android of my current rom and see if that works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
If no one else does it before I can get to it ill post the updater script and build prop for anyone who wants to take a look at it. I found a different base to use last night browsing around while this was uploading that I think might be better anyway. And yes its still att based it just has a updater script that more closely resembles my port rom so less changes mean less less screw ups. Im not giving up. There has got to be a way to make this work im gonna find it. Does anyone know of a free tool either pc or android phone that will test the code of my updater script for errors? I dont think its in the build prop because the only thing I changed in it was the ro.display.id and build date. Oh and added one line from the port about multiview
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Yep you are right. I should have took those folders and zipped them and not the whole parent folder. I think that will work. If it does let me know and ill fix it and reupload
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
your updater-script is perfect. your files arent on the root directory of the zip. see screenshot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Whew thats an easy enough fix. I cant believe I done that. I didnt zip the last one that way but ill fix it and upload. So by moving those files it did flash?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] russell8smith:
Man I can't wait for this ROM to get up I tried the Verizon port of another and got my WiFi toggle to work but then my data stopped lol. I did get to play with multi window man this is going to bring a whole new hype to these phones thanks devs for all yalls hard work. :D:thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
give me 10 minutes im nandroiding my current rom. and ima try. could you pm me?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 315phatboi:
yes it flashes but it gets stuck at sansung logo and breakes everything even stock recovery too
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
confirmed, it doesnt boot past samsung logo
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ok I think I might know why. I took down the link. And took it off the server. Im about to scrap busybox from the rom build. From what im reading it can cause hang ups on the s3...

If im barking up the wrong tree someone let me know...

If you see anything you might think is causing this feel free to weigh in
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalshadowx2:
I read the post and tried too doesn't work.. Why not just try to ask the devs and port the clean rom from note 2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
i seen some weird files in a couple of the folders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
+1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I sent him a pm and waiting on a reply
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I have no idea but im about to get rid of it because it is not in the galaxy mod rom so its apparently not needed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
i also checked drew garens note 2 port and those files arent there either.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Yea I did to. I google searched and asked another dev and he said they are junk files left behind from a compiler and if the mcreg file was at the top of the apps it would stop the install unless it was in the updater script to pass it over which its not. So im gonna check all the files rezip and upload
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
is this rom running on your s3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalshadowx2:
I was gonna ask the same thing. If this rom never ran you should have gotten testers first...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
also i would suggest that you change the title of the thread to indicate you need help or that its a Work In Progress.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I just another problem. In the port rom busybox is in system xbin folder where my update script should have been telling it to install from in the base rom and miracle whiz busybox is run from a separate folder. Ok now im gonna zip and try to flash. If I have success I will let you all know...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalshadowx2:
Seeing that this is your first rom just to avoid rom troubles you should make this a WIP topic. Cause There hasnt been a full rom to flash that has worked yet. I havent given up hope and im patiently waiting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
Gary did you have this booting at all?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I made changes and started to flash but got a call from school about my one of my daughters. Hope nothing is wrong cause they wouldn't tell me nothing over the phone. .. will be back a little later
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigdbag:
This guy is starting to sound like drew garen .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoestar:
What are you guys using for a boot.img? Might try the ktz kernel and see if that helps the boot. I've had bad luck with Note 2 ports and I'd rather not brick another device, so I'm steering clear until it is working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wali01x:
guys lets be respecful not get it out of hand. he's doing his utter best and xda rules states, if you can't say anything good.. don't say anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
How?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
Stop right there
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Im using the boot img that came with the stock jb base rom for s3. Ive been thinking I need to try a different boot img too but im not sure about which one to use to keep from causing a brick... im also certain the one from the note 2 port would brick the phone. Still waiting on permission from a dev to use his base. If any of you know a safe boot img to try im game. I think thats the key....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wali01x:
try taking any stock i747 or i747m boot.img, I believe as long as its unsecure it should be okay without bricking anything or anything in general.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
What do you all think about using the TWRP boot img with exfat support mentioned in the op? It is working great on my phone now. What im not 100% sure on is does the boot img contain the kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jthrasher47:
That is not a boot IMG. That is a recovery.IMG so no it does NOT contain a kernel......:confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I just thought about that and said note to self why did you even ask that stupid question? Duhh.... im on the hunt for a boot img to try. God my brain is fried if im asking stupid stuff like that... im sorry guys I knew better than that....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jthrasher47:
Its all good man we all have those moments. I might ask ktoons for some advice if I were you to see if maybe he could help you modify the stock one to get it working in sorry but when it done to kernel deving I'm as good as useless lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Im thinking about trying the boot img from serenity note port. Im comparing build props and there nearly identical. And if his boots on a ATT i747 it should work with mine. I sent him a pm for permission to use it but no answer yet. According to xda rules can I use any boot img without permission since its not the whole rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] roughneckboren:
Keep it going brother. Got all the faith in the world. Don't get bothered by the haters. This is exactly what xda is for.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
^^^THIS^^^
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Im working on it. Thinking very very hard on a new base
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:
We are still with you bro!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jthrasher47:
Well since he is known to take other peoples stuff without asking and try to pass it off I don't see went but just to be a better person I would credit where it came from if you use it. But it should be no problem as long as you do that
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Unhived__Mind:
Haha ZING!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
well this time i got it past the AT&t screen to the boot animation where it just boot loops. somebody give me the most common causes for a bootloop. i believe this new base is gonna work if i can get by the boot loop
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jthrasher47:
Could be many things framework permissions improper libs etc... if you get a chance to upload it maybe we could try it out and try to find the problem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
You think I should try copying the lib files from the port rom to the base?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
Go for it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ok guys im calling it a night. I got it past the AT&T screen to the bootanimation where it sits and loops and vibrates over and over. So im gonna upload it so maybe you guys can take a look at it and see what you think. Im not putting the link back in the op but im loading it to the same server and the link is in one of the previous posts. Its the droidsrc one and if I happen to be asleep it will be ready when you see it at 875MB.

It will be the file called miracle-whiz-1.1

Oh hell it will be the only one there. Ill go delete the other
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoestar:
See if you guys can adb logcat and record errors. That will help a lot.

My suggestion would be to talk to a person who has ported a Note 2 ROM before and ask for advice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
If I tried the stock boot img extracted from the official firmware would it brick the phone being that it isnt unsecured?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy044:
As long as the boot img is for the 747 and flashes to the right partition it will not brick your phone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well I pulled the one straight from the official firmware but seen in the post where it said unsecured and wasn't sure. The updater script tells it where to install it and I hadnt changed that so I might try it...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy044:
Yea try that or even kt jellybean kernel. Also look at libs and look in the etc folder at the init.qcom scripts
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ok now im going out of my mind.....

I just tried to flash 3 other roms and they all do the same thing as the rom I built does which is either boot loop or hang at Samsung screen. Of course I do full wipe as I never dirty flash ever. So now im not sure if its the rom or my phone. I need someone to download the rom from....

http://gary.droidsrc.com

And let me know if it boots on your phone.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
Downloading
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DLM2583:
No links to the down yet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Look two posts up lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ok im taking version 1.1 down off the server. I tried a different base with it and the dev of the base said I could not use it. So im either going back to the original base or gonna find a new one.. sorry guys I hadnt gave yet....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Dang im getting worried about Bacon. Hope testing for me didnt break his phone...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
It didn't. I was out watching gangster squad (great movie BTW) and the download failed so I didn't get a chance to flash it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Smh I know its up to them to let you use but damn they could of understand it ain't like you gonna steal their shine its a whole new forum. But once again its their ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well I was just looking at the build prop fix for ATT for galaxy mod and seen some things in my build prop that different so I added a few lines of your code and im hoping thats gonna fix the first version I was working on. I added a line from the note 2 that I felt should be there and its nowhere in yours so im thinking that might be why it was hanging on boot.

@Bacon yea I took it down because the dev denied me use of it for a base. He said I could personlly use it but I could not publish it. But thats ok this build prop of jookdakang has me feeling positive. .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Man I hope so I would assist you on it but I'm scared I might brick. I dont have the cash for a new phone man. Want me to talk to a couple devs I know personally?

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Upload your updater-script and build.prop. I'll get this working. I will also make all the changes I feel necessary to the ROM to get it to boot but I'm afraid to flash it. What method are you using to port?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well it still didnt boot but im not 100% sure its not my either. I tried flashing a couple of other roms (serenity, galaxy mod) and they also didn't boot on my phone. I tried putting them on my external sd and internal storage just to make sure it wasnt my sd card and still the same.

Now I do have a question for you...

In my updater script where it says to extract system on the line after that it says to extract the data folder. But I didn't want to install the apps that were in the data folder so I deleted the folder but did not take that line out of the updater script. Could that be why its not booting? Because its told to extract something thats not there anymore?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Oh yea ill upload the script and built prop in just a second
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Can you also check your pm?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
attaching updater script and build prop for ya...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I did and sent a reply...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxsashixx:
wow this thread got massive LOL
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ok here is an update..... the rom may work or it may not. For some reason unknown to me no rom I flash will get past the Samsung screen. So ive wasted two days when in truth this rom might work. Ive tried flashing 5 different roms known to work and known to boot but they never get past the Samsung screen. And yes I always do a full wipe, cache, dalvick, factory reset, and format system times 3. Ive tried wiping caches and factory reset before and after installation. Ive tried flashing from both internal storage and external sd. I can restore my nan backups though. Im using twrp with exfat support metiioned in the op....

So if anyone has a clue to why I cant flash anything please feel free to weigh in......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tutchthesky7:
May sound kinda nooby , but:

Try not formatting system

Try flashing a different kernel ( most likely the case i think)

if all fails, stock via Odin?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:
How we making out here fellas, has anyone flashed successfully?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Im kinda at a stand still because I cant test the rom. Check out this thread to see why

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36815630

Im hoping to have the problem corrected soon and start back to work on this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
Do you wipe /system when flashing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Yes ive tried flashing with wiping system and without. ... it dont make no sense. 5 different roms all the same. They hang at the Samsung screen. And I know their not flashing because not one tripped the flash counter. Now whats really weird I can restore my nan backups from internal and external sd but cant any rom from either
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vwood2121:
I flash different rooms all the time and it has never tripped my flash counter. I always have flashed with clockwork recovery on all phones. Twrp has always had too many problems. Especially now wit that exfat format.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BaconStep:
Maybe go back to stock and reroot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:
Maybe try a.diff.recovery,ditch the twrp.with exfat..even try cwm? Ive been using twrp 2.3.3.1 and its been flawless.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jawonder:
I think that's his best bet right now .
