[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KageSama19:
Okay, Let me start by saying two things. Yes I'm new to this. And yes I looked in the forums for something similar.

Now, basically I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It is Model SGH-T959V, Firmware 2.2.1, Baseband T959VUVKB5, Build FROYO.VUVKB5. There are a few things I was wanting to ask the community.

Is it possible or a good idea to update it to JB, ICS, GB. And if so what are the benefits and procedures to do so?

Secondly, I've been looking into getting some custom roms. So far the only things I have found haven't been comprehensible. They either require a higher firmware version, have no explanation as to what the rom does, or have highly technical steps which are way beyond me. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what would be some good roms? What they do? And the benefits of using them?

If this has all been discussed somewhere else and have just missed it, please feel free to link to the thread and close this one.

First, you should start here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470716 Second here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V now you have all the source of instructions and guides to follow all you have to do is take some time to read and search. and now good luck to you and your phone..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KageSama19:
Well, as for the Odin thing a lot of people have said it can brick your device, and that's not something wanna do.

As for the other guides, I started it, I got to the point where I'm updated to GB 2.3.6. The rest of the stuff didnt say what it was for, so I was unsure as whether or not to proceed. Are they required for flashing ROMs? Or just extra stuff?

The last one didn't seem to have anything really useful, but I didnt look at every last thing.

And what about useful ROMs? I've looked around online and a lot people recommend Cyanogenmod, although no one has said what it does. I looked at the steps and it seemed over complicated to install for someone new to this stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Warrenforfree:
In this guide http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V it will guide you to rest of Custom rom's and kernel's that you must need to use in order to

start flashing custom rom and kernels. the rest is a guide which you can use and it will save you'r time from looking around.. The only rom which is very much stable to our phone are

GB and ICS while Cyanogenmod 10/10.1 are still in Alpha and beta stage..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KageSama19:
Yeah, I saw that as I looked through it more. Just a lot of it is way over my head so it's gonna take me a while to get to it

That's right, you will never get lost by following that guide because everything you need to know are already in there.. just take some time to read and you

will be enlightened as you go on the process..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KageSama19:
Well, my biggest problem is I keep looking for useful and cool ROMs, but haven't found any so far. So at the moment I can justify to myself to go through all those things just to not have anything to put on it. So far I like the GB look and feel much better than FROYO. I've found a few minor apps here and there, but so far nothing that has required flashing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
I'm pretty good with computers even though I don't really code (I do pretty much everything but that) yet I've had nothing but trouble trying to flash CWM 6.0.1.9 to a GT-I9300 version of SGS3.

Here's a brief list of the various approaches I've tried, as a result of my own intuition and following the advice given to people in similar situations across this forum and dozens of others. I might not have achieved my goal yet, but I assure you I'm persistent and thorough!

I've tried four different PCs at this point, three running Windows 7 (one desktop, one laptop, one nettop - all 32-bit) and one running Windows XP.

I've tried installing Kies, then removing Kies and just installing standalone "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones".

I've tried various USB ports on all the systems

I've tried various ways of plugging in the phone (you know, before/after it's in download mode), making sure there are no other devices in the USB ports, restarting before loading Odin, making sure Odin is run as Administrator, making sure Odin is running before/after the phone is plugged in, keeping the phone plugged in via USB with the battery out then putting the battery in and booting to download mode etc etc.

I've tried about five different versions of Odin at this point. The phone appears in all of them - sometimes the COM port is yellow, sometimes it's blue. Bit confusing but I've given to understand the colour differs depending on the Odin version.

Suffices to say I've been as thorough as I can think to be. But in all cases, the "GT-I9300_ClockworkMod-Recovery-Touch-6.0.1.9.tar" cannot be flashed to the phone... it just appears to start and then stalls, eventually failing when it's left long enough, with the word RECOVERY in a white box at the top of Odin but the file never getting sent to the phone, it seems. I have similar problems trying all the various different things when trying to flash an older version of CWM to a Galaxy Ace, except this time it gets stuck at the SetupConnection part and eventually fails. It's very frustrating!

Honestly I don't know what else I can try. I'm really hoping for as many suggestions as possible, because unless I can get CWM installed on the S III there's no way I can back up the stock version of Jellybean via Nandroid, install Cyanogenmod 10.1 and finally enjoy the benefits of a fully rooted phone.

Thanks in advance to anyone who throws out an idea that makes me look at this in a different way and helps me solve the problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Have you got Kies installed? If so make sure it is disabled I'm systray, also run Odin as administrator
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
I did have Kies installed, but then ditched it on all four PCs and just used the standalone drivers as mentioned, so I'm not having to worry about disabling Kies from systray or killing it completely via Task Manager,

As I understand it from reading lots of other threads across various forums, the drivers are all you really need Kies for. Unless there's something else it does I'm not aware of... as I say I'm trying every option I can think of, every combination of possibilities to get this thing done.

As I say, whether I run Odin as Admin or not doesn't appear to make a difference, sadly. I will say that all four Windows PCs I mentioned are logged on as the master Admin account and I have all the "nag screens" of Windows disable ("Open File - Security Warning" for example) too.

Thanks for the reply.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0cha5hake:
Try it with a newer version of ClockwordMod Recovery. That may help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
I'm tempted to try this when I get the chance, but the thing is when I open the TAR file under the PDA column in Odin and try to flash the S III it correctly identifies the "recovery.img" file inside, it just never seems to send it to the phone even though USB Debugging is enabled before booting into download mode. I'd guess another version (older or newer) would have the same problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Using Samsung USB cable ???

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
Yep, official Samsung USB cables that came with the phones (Galax yS III/Galaxy Ace).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
I wouldn't want to state the obvious, but have you tried flashing a different file?

The fault could be with the file, not with Odin/Windows/Phone

And as far as Kies goes, I know from experience that if you uninstall it, it still leaves bits of itself around so still worth checking in Task Manager that there are no parts still running in the background. As we know, Odin and Kies don't get along.

Something that springs to mind - what version of Android are you using? 4.0.x, 4.1.x, pre 4.x?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
Still no joy trying to flash the S III via Odin on Windows. To be honest it's far too much trouble for what should be a simple recovery flash so I think I'd like to do it under Ubuntu instead, I can make a Live USB stick and boot from that then install any needed files (I'm guessing Heimdall via Terminal could do it). Any tips on the easiest way to install CWM on the S III when running Ubuntu? I watched this video and I'm wondering how accurate it is...

[YOUTUBE]wWMlU10ir3I[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Ubuntoo no idea very little posted suggested a Google search might bring up a how to even if for a different model .

It reads like a critical step is missing in your attempts to root via windows for some reason .

It is a 5 min job for most users .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
I know, and I've been thorough, that's why I'm so confused I can't seem to do something relatively easy. Odin just hangs and never sends the recovery.img from the TAR file to the phone... it looks like it goes to start with the RECOVERY box above the S III's ID:COM port and then never flashes. It's so odd.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Are you rooted?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
No that's the thing - I don't want to root until I can do a full backup of the original Jelly Bean with CWM - getting CWM on there is basically the first hurdle. But at this point I suppose it might be a good idea to compromise, just to get it done. Not sure really. Don't have enough experience rooting phones to know for sure.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0cha5hake:
Not sure but I think you need root access to install CWM recovery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
With the S III you might be right, however I couldn't install CWM for the Galaxy Ace using different Odin versions like 3.04 and 3.07 either, and that phone is already rooted with CM 7.2 and already has an older version of CWM on it. Which leads me to believe that something is amiss with Odin and Windows, seeing as I've tried it on four different Windows machines (3 WIndows 7, 1 Windows XP). It's baffling and frustrating.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0cha5hake:
If the Ace is already rooted just flash a newer version of CWM in recovery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
I did. I was just making the point that even on an already rooted/CWM enabled phone a new version of CWM was not able to be flashed across via Odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chubby65:
Yes you need to be rooted to install cmw

Use chainfire recovery to root and install cwm recovery mate

Then you can flash touch version
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
I was under the impression that newer versions of Clockworkmod don't need Chainfire first, is that wrong?

I want to thank everyone who has chipped in so far - I'm learning a lot!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chubby65:
Not sure mate I've always used chainfire to root and install cwm recovery works every time for me

Tried the touch version but always reverted back due to too many problems
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
Just an update: using a new official S3 cable worked where the old one didn't. Let that be a lesson... To me, mostly!

Thanks all who pitched in with tips etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winol:
one question, why with ODIN?, why dont you flash it with, CWM? a lot easier
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekepliskin:
AFAIK, to do the initial CWM flash via Windows the easiest choice is to use Odin. When CWM is on there you can flash any custom firmware you want, in my case CyanogenMod 10.1. The Linux methods seemed more indepth.

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
Hey All,

I bought a Bell (Canada) HTC 8X C625a for use on AT&T and put my sim in, ran connection setup and all was working well. That said, now I've just noticed that when someone sends a text with media, I get a text saying "Get media content now (xKB)". When I touch the link, I get nothing but the same message over and over. I'm assuming AT&T is using a different APN than connection setup installed.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mobi:
That was not as easy as I thought... So first I got on chat with AT&T and they started out OK but ended saying they don't support unlocked phones of any kind. Then I went all over the net and found so much conflicting and useless info. Finally, I went to HTC and they've been pretty damn good over the past 4 days or so. I just can't believe that no one has had this problem before. Anyway, here are the instructions if you ever find yourself in this situation;

Start off by going to Settings>Mobile Network(or equivalent by carrier). Tap on add Internet APN. Fill out the APN with "pta" then click the save icon.

Next, click on Add MMS APN. This time, fill out the following information; Anything not below, leave blank.

Access Point Name: pta

WAP Gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net

WAP Gateway port: 80

MMSC address: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

Once again, click on the save icon and you're done.

Hope this can help someone else in the same position. :good:

Good luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
Quick question:

I'm getting a replacement GN2 on Monday.

Before running Triangle Away and restoring my current phone to stock, if I were to take a TWRP backup, could I simply restore the entire backup to the new phone without any issues considering it's all the same hardware?

I'm assuming that the other one will be an i317 as well, not a i317m. I'll verify though.

Yes, it's dumb, but I've never actually found a need to restore a backup in my life before despite the countless flashing.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
its a waste of time bothering to restore to stock, since they wont care if your phone is rooted if its being replaced..

never understand why people bother going through the hassle if they are getting a phone replaced..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
My phone is being replaced through Javelin Media, they're a marketing company that sets up Samsung booths. One of their employees damaged my phone, so they're replacing it and they intend on repairing mine and doing idk what with it. I'm not really sure if I should revert to stock or not honestly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
Might as well..it's easy to do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
or just flash a "stock looking" rom..those fools wont bother looking at it too closely
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
I was thinking of just flashing a stock rom all together. Because they intend on getting it repaired, I don't really want to leave any chance for them to say something about it.

Looks like reverting to stock is easy enough though, may as well do it I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
Lemme know if you run into any problems or questions :beer:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brad.S.:
Even though I agree with wase4711.. I wouldn't give these guys any chance to screw you over.

I remember your problem from the other thread.. And if your phone gets back modified to some guy like the one who did the damage, then they would definitely find any reason to say something.

You never know, there may be some people from xda working there. If they are paying for the replacement, one would think that they would go through the trouble to make sure that it hasn't been tampered with.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] silentecho13:
Just got the replacement today!

No creaks!

The issue is, I restored my old backup after having to rename the TWRP folder to match my old phones ID, but now it wasn't a "full" restore? My s-notes, ringtones, etc are missing?

I definitely don't want them to screw me over, so I'll make sure they get a phone in the same state as they sent me.

Just spent an afternoon backing up and rooting my Nexus 4 and putting it all back again. Not quite as slick and easy a thing to do the first time but we got there none the less.

Anyway, we got there and now I find that two apps I use quite often don't work on a rooted device. Yep banking apps and it seems there isn't a fix. Seems like I only did 98% of my homework.

Grrrr so with that and the fact my 4.2.2 update keeps saying 'verification failed' after it downloads over and over has got me feeling a bit deflated.
