just copy files after booting into OS and then reboot back into recovery and flash it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lozohcum:
But after OS booted only media mode works, can't mount sdcard. Media mode is mega slow
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] championswimmer:
oh ok ok Mass Storage mode comes in M1-R3

hang on till that is released :p

since i was currently running yesterday's build I forgot that the released version does not have it

still havea a check

Problems I experienced on this rom:

but rom it's still quite good, I hope you will add FluidEngine to next release, it reduces lags and speed up rom a lot

Keep working, you are doing good job :)

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] championswimmer:
i do not have a tipo dual.

i cannot test the dual SIM functionality
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Yperion:
FXP has released some sources that is their work till now, if can be compiled separeted i can compile them, but my netbook cant handle a full android compiling. So if you know you can answer me, and if you will i can do the testing/fixing the code until it works and you compile it.. :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] diogobuique:
If you can give will be going to work great!! The FXP will no longer work on the code for Type Dual SIM and Sony also will not update our Android.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] championswimmer:
i have seen FXP changes

they allow one sim to function on Tipo Dual
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Yperion:
Can i compile the sources as it is, or i must make a full android build to get them work? Also because is not pretty clear, if we add them to cm10 will work or not?

ps: the main problem is to run cm10 with gsm, if this happens then *maybe* someday we have dual sim working.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ic3tea:
So now Sony Tipo Dual can have 1 sim function in the lates FXP CM10 ? :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] diogobuique:
I could make a donation to the group to develop a CM Dual Tipo! But no one is interested ...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] championswimmer:
the changes are intrusive as FXP says... i.e. tinkering with it might leave the whole radio framework unusable

also dual sim mobiles are not the norm over the world. there are lots of places where tipo dual hasn't been released only tipo

I have installed aokp_tapioca_ss-ota-eng.kxp_milestone1-r3 on my tipo dual, but it does not boot. I don't even get to the Sony logo, just a vibrate and that is it. Anyway, that is not the problem, as I can reinstall everything with sony pc companion, but I really wanted to test this ROM.

I have stock rooted with CWM. I have wiped the system partition before install, then installed the r3, then the GAPPS. Tried it twice, both with wipe system before and without. Same result. Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
Don't use this? The dev isn't supporting it anymore, it's still at milestone 1, and there are other ROMs out there. I really don't think it's the best idea ever to use this ROM right now.

Right after that flashed the rom zip file and gapps.

Got the swagger screen; was worth watching :D

But my problem is whenever i tried to reboot it is not rebooting as before... it does reboots at times.. which take a lot of time. i tried twice or thrice repeating the same process again and again.

Am i doing anything wrong ??

So this is what happened. I was in the middle of using navigation on Trickdroid 7 and my S4 started to reboot and kept rebooting every 15 to 20 seconds. I was able to re-flash trickdroid 7 and everything was ok for the past month- yesterday I flash trickdroid9 everything was OK and I decided to go back to trickdroid 7 because I use wifi a lot. Thats when things got squirrely- I did a factory reset before and after the flash and it would just hang at the HTC logo and disappear. Now, I'm stuck at it being in CWM only, can't seem to even be able to get to the bootloader anymore. even by power and volume down.

Any hope of recovering? Any input would be appreciated.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Paleogryph:
New forum member here, and I'm assuming this would be the place for an authoritative answer on why I can't root my Sprint GS3:

Model No:	SPH-L710

Android v:	4.1.1

Baseband v:	L710VPBLJ7

Kernel v:	3.0.3.1-329968

Build No:	JRO03L.L710VPBLJ7

HW V:	L710.14

For starters, I have two friends with S3's who have rooted/modded no problem. However, neither has a Sprint GS3, which I think is why I'm having these issues. The problem I'm having is one I've read about in these forums as well as other Android forums:

No root access after a "successful" install of CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7.zip.

I have followed the instructions here:

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sph-l710-sprint-easy-root-99304/

and here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726088

The first thing I realized is that I can only get to the ClockWorkMod Recovery menu if I remove the battery after a successful install of that in Odin. Then I put the battery back in and boot to the ClockWorkMod Recovery, which allows me to "install zip from sdcard", etc;. Then I choose to install the zip via the menus, it takes a few moments then shows it is successful.

At this point, by all the info I have read, the phone should be rooted and BusyBox and RootChecker should be good with my phone.

It isn't and they aren't.

I have ran through this exercise perhaps 20 times or more and still no root.

I have seen several others post in Android forums, including this one, with the same issue, and I have seen no one offer any meaningful suggestions. I'm wondering what the common denominator is here?

I think the fact that I only get one "usage" of ClockWorkMod Recovery after the initial install of it, is the problem. If I reboot again after that first use, it defaults back to the stock Android Recovery Menu. I have read in the forums that "some people" have that issue, and that there is no workaround, other than removing the battery, then boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery and Root the phone. My friends with S3's don't have that issue. Once they install ClockWorkMod Recovery it is there and they can boot to it whenever they want.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated, as I want to be able to manage my phone correctly.

TIA!:o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dhunt4949:
.tar file

You have to flash a .tar file in odin that has root access for your device. CWM is just recovery. just do a search for .tar files for your device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
What he said

Also, CWM is replaced by the stock recovery as a safety precaution by the system (when it detects that stuff has been tampered with), theres a flashable zip by Team WIN that fixes this

I dont have the link handy but try googling it with "xda" at the end

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Paleogryph:
Tar file

I didn't specifically mention it, but I did, and am continuing to, flash the clockworkmod.TAR file to the phone using Odin.

I have been assuming this tar file is ClockWorKMod Recovery, the menu I am able to get to on the next boot to allow me to then attempt to install the CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7.zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Paleogryph:
Success!

I flashed with the SU recommended by evo4gnoob at this forum post:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadooder:
I'm not sure how it works on Motorolas, but I used to have a Samsung Captivate. Even though I had done a complete backup in ClockWorkMod before, I flashed a ROM but was then unable to flash back with my original IMEI. It left me with a generic IMEI and I was locked out of the network. I don't want this to happen again, so how do I backup absolutely everything including my IMEI on the Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Yeah, it would probably be best if you forgot most of what you know from Samsungs. The Atrix has the PDS partition which I guess would roughly be the equivalent of Samsung's EFS, but at the same time it's far from it. Most notably, unless you have a really rotten luck, it's almost impossible to screw up IMEI on the Atrix.

Over the past month or so I have tried several times to update my S3 with the Jelly Bean update from Verizon. Each time I try it I get a message that the software failed to install.

O I need to unroot the phone and lock the bootloader in order to update? Anyone else had this problem? Right now I am on Android version 4.0.4 and I think the update is 4.1.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] djteotancolis:
I believe for the official update you have to be unrooted and have a locked bootloader unless you do it from kies where it can revert it complete to stock and unroot it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
You are 100% correct. Update will fail due to custom recovery. OP, why not download one of the many JB ROMS from the development section and flash it? Not only will it update your phone, it will be much better than stock as well as easier to install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bshpmark:
I have not yet ventured into flashing other ROMS but am certainly willing to give it a try. I know there are many available but can you suggest one or two that i can try.
