I have a s3 mini g730a, I've tired using the command but its not working for my phone. Is there another way of installing cwm? Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eatkabab:
Anyone know where I can find the newest update.zip for CWM on the i747?

I can't plug my phone into the computer due to a faulty port and it won't turn on because I was stupid...I can get into recovery though. Need the update. Can't find the damn file anywhere. Only find the international update.zip
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can download a zip of Philz Touch which can be flashed using a custom recovery.

Have an i747 ATT phone unlocked using on T-Mobile, running 4.0.4 (i747UCLH9). Tried to Odin both TWRP and CWM and they do not take. When booting into recovery, I get stock recovery. Tried Rom Manager but it hangs on "Flashing". Any ideas? Never had this much trouble with my Verizon S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Its because you updated via ota most likely. Otas update recovery during reboot since the recovery is otherwise in use for the rest of the update.

There are 2 files you can delete.

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

Delete or rename these and recovery will stick. If you arent rooted yet, use Towelroot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] philosoweed:
Thank you, That worked!! However, shortly after my earlier post, my cousin (his phone) decided that his bootlloader needed to be unlocked and used ezunlock for verizon. long story short I ended up using the sd card bootloader fix to boot his phone. His phone now boots, is rooted, and has TWRP installed (thanks to you). I cannot however enter download mode (choose to enter screen loads and phone reboots). Not sure how I can fix this bootloader problem, he is stuck without external SD because the bootloader image is using the SD slot. Can you go 2 for 2 and solve this issue? :)

Hi,

Sometime some simple things make you crazy, I didnt get the answer for "How to use or enable the OTG Cable with I8160". ?

I have absolutely no experiance of making or installing kernel/roms. Please let me know that will I be able to use a simple USB Flashdisk with my I8160 or not.

If not then what could be the reason.

If yes then please guide me for this.

:confused:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arroyo:
I8160 do not support USB OTG. This was answered hundreds of time on many threads here. Use search button next time.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husnain.mahmood:
It means change the mobile. right. :crying:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loof13:
Yes it does! Please use the Q and A thread if you want to ask questions!! This is the hundredth time we are mentioning this!
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arroyo:
@loof13

Did you managed to connect USB storage or mouse thru USB port in i8160? I did not found anyone who managed to do that. If yes, then it is awesome.

I have OTG cable and my i8160 is not responsing after connecting mouse, keyboard or pendrive. Even with "USB OTG Helper" app. Tried to power connected devices via USB HUB, but it did not helped.

The reason why it is not working ... its because i8160 do not give any power required to power connected devices. Ace 2 cannot work in host mode for USB. Tried this already in GB and JB (MB2 and MB4). Hafidzduddin confirmed that in kernel there is everything that is needed for USB OTG, but probably it is lack of something in hardware.

But all bluetooth mouses and keyboards work good.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr01nE:
It was mentioned that it supports OTG. Its just that we needed a kernel and drivers or stuff that would make it possible

So i will need to have kernel by hafidz.

I searched on forums and found that i have to short pin 4 and pin5 of mini usb connector. Did someone tried for i8160.

Does simple usb flash disk also needs powrr from phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr01nE:
I remember someone saying that if the phone cannot power the USB device, an external power source should be used. I don't really know what that meant but I'm guessing a USB hub that has a separate power supply.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husnain.mahmood:
Ok. So try the kernel by hafidz. Try external power supply.

But does this has been tried by someone with success.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spawnz0r:
ive installed CM11, and in CM11 there is an application called NovaThor, this app allows power to USB OTG devices, i'm trying to get my wireless pc xbox 360 controller adapter to work. it powers it, the controller connects - but i cant seem to get it to work. so in short YES the galaxy ace 2 i8160 does support OTG power... however i haven't got it to work besides power - this is without hacking the cable and using an alternate power source.

The premium suite you heard so much about... Most of its features are for i9300
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
just a tip: know what hardware you have (i747 vs international, verizon, etc) and that way you'll know what firmware you are able to flash to your device. always be absolutely certain. i say this because in the event you had seen an "official" samsung 4.1.2 firmware for the s3 (i9300), and you had downloaded and flashed it to your phone (i747), you would now have a very expensive paper weight. i'm sure you know all this. just a friendly reminder. cheers

Yea, I am very careful because my captivate was bricked by wasnt even done by flashing. It happened while I put it in download mode. But ive seen a lot of pages for the premium suite i9300 but none for the i747. So I thought id ask. Thanks guys. Cheers.
[HTC Droid DNA] cadetprewitt1992:
I figured that I'd post my findings, since I know many people want this phone.

Radioshack is selling the phone on their website for $49.99 for a new activation or $99.99 for an upgrade. That's the cheapest price I've found so far.

Want the phone today? No sweat. In store can match online prices. Neat!

I just ordered one today from wirefly for $50. I am soon excited can't wait for it to get here!!
[HTC Droid DNA] mwl1119:
I switched to Verizon last week and picked up the HTC Incredible 4G LTE which is a great device mind you but after seeing the DNA for $49.99 on Radioshack's website I returned the Incredible.

If you're looking to get this phone I'd suggest going with Radioshack's website over Wirefly because you get free 2 day shipping.

$100 AmazonWireless upgrade for me

But wow they've been scaring me with their 3 different discount policies.

First time calling, I was told i'd have to pay in full if i transferred family member's upgraded phone to my line.

Second time ( as i panicked and was set on canceling everything ) they said the policy had changed recently and that it would be fine.

I'll be glad just to have the phone

Here is my interpretation of their discount restrictions. Verizon doesn't like to mix with their third party retailers.

You shouldn't have any problems - got my Rezound from Wirefly, and just purchased the DNA from AmazonWireless.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bruner1981:
Hey guys. Yes I have searched, but have only found instructions so far for going back to stock gingerbread.

I need to send my amaze in to get fixed under warranty, and I'm assuming they won't like it if I send them the phone with an unlocked bootloader, rooted, and CM10 installed, and that's what I need help with. How can I reinstall stock ICS, unroot, and lock the bootloader of the amaze? And will it show as "relocked" or "locked"? Of course I plan on putting the root and unlocked bootloader and CM10 once I get it back, so I'm looking for a reversible way to do this. Thanks in advance!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Just to be clear. For your bootloader to say 'locked' you'll need to have S-Off and NOT unlock the bootloader again. But once that's done just flash the ICS ruu. Here's a link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647728
[HTC Amaze 4G] bruner1981:
Thank you. So I am S-ON right now. In order to make the bootloader say "locked" again to make HTC happy with my warranty, I'd have to be stuck with ICS and whatever updates HTC decides to give us from then on once I got it back from HTC?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
No. That's the only way for it to say "locked" if you relock it it will say "relocked"

So if you really want it to say "locked" you'll need to S-Off first. Then flash the RUU.

Once you get it back you can do as you feel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
What makes you think you will be stuck with anything? Everything u need to do is reversible and then re-doable.

Im just not really sure which part u think would make it stuck. Let us know and im sure we can explain the cofusion
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaytee20:
Boot into fastboot, type "fastboot OEM lock" in the command prompt. Put the appropriate RUU on your external SD card and rename it PH85ING.zip and boot into bootloader.

Edit: its PH85IMG.zip. sorry about my fatty fingers. Also, make sure to check the md5 sum on the RUU. I always had trouble with the download.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Fails after htc boot logo? If you are flashing an RUU, you should never see any boot screen until after its done flashing. What carrier are you on and what steps exactly r u fillowing to flash the ruu...?
[HTC Amaze 4G] fubag:
its not the actual boot logo but that black screen with the HTC logo that I think is part of the stocky recovery maybe?

I have yet to try the PHS.IMG method in fastboot.

Thanks for the help!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
So Raleigh finally has a few LTE towers active, and with the help of Sensorly I know where those are.

Seems though half the time it doesn't connect. I know it's not a tower issue, as if I turn on airplane mode on then off it will connect to 4G just fine.

I noticed under settings there's the Sprint optimize connection thing. Turning that on/off seems to have no difference.

Is there a file somewhere that I can edit to change the default connection lookup time? Since LTE is different from WiMax, where you don't "really" have control over the 4G radio, I'm assuming there is a time-out feature. A specified amount of time it takes before looking for an LTE signal. If this is true, is there a way to edit that to speed it up just a little bit? Say going from 10 minutes to 5 minutes? I'm not worried about battery life. I can't kill this thing in a day anyways and I'm lucky to have access to power 7/10ths of my work day.

Also I'm not sure if this is related to MA7, Deodexed stock ROM, or what but I am having issues with coming off Wifi to 3G, and 3G not being active. Have to cycle airplane mode a few times to get it to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
I'm rooted with stock and although my my phone switches fine between Wi-Fi and 3g I did have a little trouble switching between 3g and 4g. One thing I did that helped was switch the mobile network to 3g only then after it reboots switch back to the 3g,lte network, after reboot run a prl update. That may fix your issue. The problem may also be Sprint is still not done boosting the strength on the 4g towers and is still testing them.

Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
I am having no problems going to 4g from 3g or 3g from 4g but they are pretty far in my area. That might be the problem is there not that far by you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
Folks,

Your phone will connect to the strongest signal possible....if LTE is stronger it will connect and vice versa. When you toggle your airplane mode or power off/on it scans for everything at that time and will scan LTE and connect even if its weaker. As areas become more saturated it will connect easier :)

Edit:also turn off the sprint connection optimizer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
I understand that. My question pertains to how long in between scans for LTE (I've read anywhere between 10 minutes and 30 minutes) and whetheror not that time can be changed on a rooted phone.

What exactly does the sprint connection optimizer do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
Well the note 2 scans pretty quick...id say <5 mins or so. I can leave my station where theres no lte and drive 1-2 miles and be connected. Once it loses lte it seems to reconnect in under a min. The connection optimizer scans available wifi hotspots and attempts to offload your data on wifi networks you have used before. Ive heard that it connects to wifi spots that you havenrt xonnected before but I havent seen this. It will cut your wifi on periodically to check and so forth. I uncheck mine and freeze it in titanium. ...personally I think it isnt needed and is a waste.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
Ok cool. So you didnt notice any change with 4g connectivity with the sprint optimizer disabled?

I guess theyre just still working on the towers. My maket hasnt officiallyblaunched yet but close to 1/4 of the city's got connectivity.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
I havent had any issues connecting to 4g with it turned off. I think here in Indy we are like the 40-50% or so and its pretty lit up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Not true. Your phones data connection is set in a priority order. Wifi is #1 and overrides all, 4G is #2 (will override 3G and 2G even if it's a crappy 4G signal), 3G #3, followed by 2G as the final drop back if none of the others are available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
Ummm....what u talkin bout willis? Thats what I said.....scans everything and will connect to lte even if its weaker than 3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Oh I should've read that thoroughly. I see what you did there. First you were like it connects to the strongest signal possible then you were like it connects to 4G even if it's a weaker signal... What a way to contradict yourself kinda makes no sense which is why the confusion. :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
You said the samething I did except you said the order of the scan.......guess I should have put the scan order in....next time ill proof read it so I dont contradict myself, cause confusion or brain hemorraging :thumbup:

I was on HBOOT 1.58 which has problems with most roms so I wanted to downgrade my HBOOT. I used JuopunutBear to gain S-OFF and then downgraded my HBOOT to 1.50 and my radio is 1.06.00.1216. I then installed CM10. I could not get any data. I checked APNs and the APN is there. I then ran the retail RUU to see if it fixed the issue and it did not. I tried installing several different HBOOTS with no change. I tried a PRL update on the official OTA and the issue still exists. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you flashed the RUU before doing the wire trick per the instructions on the unlimited.io website you should be on firmware (baseband level) 1.09.00.0706. My phone automatically reactivated after doing the wire trick and gaining S-OFF. If yours hasn't done that you should probably call Sprint and ask them to reactivate it for you.

just need to downgrade radio (just guessing what radio you have as you never posted it) by putting the radio.img in a pc10img.zip and flashing via hboot or possibly just use one of the stock roms he has there may be easiest
