No that recovery won't work on your phone.

Flash this in recovery. It's a zip version of the recovery. Rom manager sucks.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NicholasQ:
I'm at a loss guys. I've done all the suggestions people have made. My brother's s3 just crashes constantly. 4+ times a day.

This is what I did...

Used mskip toolkit and rooted his phone. I chose its default all in one step. Installed recovery and booted into stock rooted.

I then downloaded the latest PA for his att s3. I checked md5 sums and everything was fine. Did a full wipe. Flashed PA.

Rebooted and he got constant reboots. So I came here for help. Flashed underwear kernel which helped just a tad. Then flashed the newest suggested kernel and new camera. He still gets random crashes.

I feel bad because I suggested him to try PA because it is awesome. But it's turned out to be somewhat embarrassing because he hates it now and just wants to go to stock.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
He flashed the all star devs kernel I suggested from 4/9?

Stock kernel values? Under volting or overclocking?

At this point it sounds like a bad download or a bad flash or an improper wipe...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] (null).exe:
Sorry if I noob out on the terminology and say some stuff wrong...

Anyway, I just flashed PA 3.15 and gapps 4.2-20130603 onto my I747 and now it's not booting all the way. I get to the splash where it draws the Fish/Shark and says "ParanoidAndroid 3+" and the fish starts cycling through colors, and then it just sits there forever.

I'm using CWM 6.0.3.1, and came from Stock ROM rooted with Ashaman 2.30 full debloat.

I updated CWM to the above version, factory reset, wiped cache, wiped davlik, then flashed PA followed by gapps (no reboot between the PA and gapps) flash.

Should I just go back to stock and start again? Or did I miss something?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NicholasQ:
I used the latest kernel you posted in the other thread. No under volting or overclock whatsoever.

Idk if it's a bad download because I checked md5 sums. I also did a proper wipe. Factory reset, everything. Ugh

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DKaine:
Have you tried the other kernel that was mentioned in the thread, KT747?

Also, were there any problems with the phone running stock, or just the rooted stock? I know that the first device I had had battery issues (as in the phone kept draining the battery super fast).. But when I had flashed it the first time to PA, I had random reboots as well due to a bad flash. Part of the reason was due to a corrupted rom file, possibly due to severe network congestion / issues when downloading.

I would recommend doing a factory reset, then going into mounts and storage and then formatting /system, /data, manually just to confirm a clean system before flashing.

IIRC, there was one release of PA that gs2user had specifically said to flash the KT747 Linux 3.4 kernel otherwise the build would not work. You're looking for the one before 4/19/2013. I've been using 04/06/2013 since it came out.

Older ktoonsez kernel link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ivwuxkhrc45ddqt/UTGAT_Rfip

Edited to add: I haven't used mskip toolkit to root the phone, I've only used Mr Robinsons no tripping flashing instructions using ODIN and I have had excellent results, rooting both my brothers' and dad's phone to rooted stock. Maybe try that route instead?

Did you wipe system? I find my self always doing that and it always works
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NicholasQ:
i appreciate the help, but like i keep saying I checked the md5 sums. so it's not a bad download. idk what else is wrong. I can't figure out why he's having so many problems and other people are not.

i read the OP of the PA thread and found nothing about requiring a new bootloader or radio. But maybe they just forgot it?

Should he be on a particular bootloader? radio? I'm all out of ideas..

used mskip, rooted phone, did super clean wipe of system and data, installed PA with gapps. rebooted. got tons of crashes. tried new kernel.

still crashes. tried another kernel. still crashes. :confused::rolleyes::eek::crying:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Boot loader isn't your problem it would never flash.

If he's up for it flash back to rooted stock and do it again.

At this moment I think he's the only one having problems...

This is my only last resort suggestion. Odin the stock rooted rom. Go into recovery. Wipe, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot, setup phone but don't install or restore any apps, reboot recovery, flash the all star dev kernel I suggested and reboot.

Have him try the phone for an hour or two just phone calls and texting etc. Simple stuff. Some phones don't agree with some kernels and he might have to wait for an update. Also sometimes when restoring apps (wasn't mentioned if or how he did) that can cause issues if he used titanium backup.

If you're still having problems after this suggestion there is nothing we can now but suggest waiting for the next update to be released.

I know there are people that will never be able to run kt747 kernels on their phone. Always gives them problems. Such is life I guess.

If all else fails ayysir updated his tmo build to 3.56 and some of us are running it. It changes the build prop to tmo instead of at&t but it works flawlessly. (except the camera is buggy, I just flashed the camera I linked you earlier. )

Just a bad/incomplete wipe. Have to wipe system.

Already mentioned above. It's still early lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Steuartl:
How do you go about changing the build.prop for using the d2tmo PA with Halo? I have seen something in Rom toolbox but is it something you can do prior to flashing?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] (null).exe:
Thanks! I re-wiped system and cache and I'm in business now :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
You don't have to change it to flash it. The checker that verified you have a tmo phone has been removed by ayysir so we can flash it without changing anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Steuartl:
Ohhh okay that's awesome! Is there a way to do it anyhow for aesthetics?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Steuartl:
So i just read on the PA google plus that people are getting issues with FC's and UI crashes as a result of dirty flashing or apps from previously etc, I am currently on the CarbonRom Halo beta but plan to switch to the d2tmo PA from the forum here today, if i do this and then the code gets released over the weekend and we get an unofficial (proper) port of the beta would i have to do a clean instal of that anyways? ie should i just wait a couple of days before switching off carbonrom to avoid having to reset up my phone again or will i be able to dirty flash a newer halo over the one that was posted a couple of days ago here?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
If in doubt do a full wipe.

Even if there is a new version coming out this weekend for the at&t you would still need to full wipe because of the new systems implemented over the last few months in the system and kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Steuartl:
Ah okay, that's kinda what i was worried about hah. I will prob move back over to PA when i get bored today anyways. is there an easy way to backup account info? i run app and system data backups on titanium and then convert to a zip prior to any full wipes anf then flash that once im on the new rom but that doesnt seem to do much in the way of accounts or stuff i still have to set up all the apps again sadly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Sorry for the wait. I don't know of any way other than the Google account backup and the backup titanium restores. Tibu has always restored my accounts on apps like Facebook, instagram, etc

This gapps has the new Google keyboard from the playstore included because now it'll be updated and changed. PA feels it's worth including now. This gapps package and the subsequent will delete the stock rom keyboard automatically and include the new Google keyboard.

Is there a way to turn on kill all button in running apps screen? Can't remember for the life of me where it was in CM...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
There isn't one,

In pie you'll get the recent apps button.

When you load the recent apps that button is replaced with the clear all button.

It will clear all apps but the most recent one.

This works on full pie or with half pie (notification bar on)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gravedigger76:
Got it. But without PIE its not available? Maybe a feature request :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Don't know what to tell you.

Works fine on PA.

Check that your version of Halo (the app from the app store) is version 1.5

You can always flash PA and try than.

Also just remember, even though Halo is released it's still in Beta. Lots more work to be done.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Theonesalmon:
Yea I understand how to use pie... I just don't like the limits on what can be placed in it, and I'm not a huge fan of the style.

I will be sticking with pa though, the customization is incredible.

What I enjoyed about the nav ring was making the nav bar tiny, as small as it could go with still being able to trigger the ring. Then I would also make it invisible.

It made it so that swiping up from the bottom of the screen would bring up my favourite apps and shortcuts such as chrome, phone, email, etc...

I did it to mostly impress girls.

I believe there was in 3.15 (I am flashing 3.60 right now) a means to select quiet hours... Iirc, it was in the sound settings control panel. I don't remember seeing anything for sound profiles, but I could be mistaken, as I have never used this feature.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Steuartl:
There are options where you can set the hours specifically but i never go to bed at the same time and im always using my phone up until i go to bed so when i tried setting specific hours i found i had to turn it off. the sound profiles were so convenient to add as a pie button and flick between lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I don't know if there is a way to "make" a toggle. I know some roms (CM and AOKP) HAVE toggles.

OK I have my brothers gs3 on the latest PA from ayysir and still having crashes and camera and galley crashing. Even installed the camera fix, and gallery still crashes when clicking a pic. His screen stays hot constantly too which is weird.

I guess my best way to proceed with the process of elimination is to make sure EVERYTHING is up to date.

If somebody could help me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

This is what I need to know...

What us the latest boot loader I should be on?

Latest radio?

Latest recovery?

Kernel?

Please don't suggest I don't need to worry about these things because NOTHING else has worked. I've done clean wipes, tried new kernels, camera fixes etc. I now want to make sure the lowest level stuff is up to date. It's not making sense that some people are getting extremely stable usage when his crashes so much.

one last quick question: is there a way to have no navigation buttons and no pie? for people who like to JUST use the hardware buttons...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
TWRP is at 2.5.0.0

CWM is 6.0.3.1

The latest bootloader you should already be on or it wouldn't have flashed.

Radio's do not affect issues like you describe, nor do they get flashed over with a ROM so you can change to the latest radio but it won't change anything you are having problems with. Latest can be found here

Kernel is really a trial and error. I'm using the latest BMS kernel with 0 issues.

Now you said you flashed the camera fixed, did you flash the modded gapps he posted to fix the camera issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NicholasQ:
I flashed the camera fix zip that just replaced the camera. At first he would crash after taking a pic. Now it can take pics but when he opens gallery and clicks, it crashes.

I am not new to flashing stuff, I've been doing it a couple of years but man, I am feeling stumped. I don't understand this. I did all the fundamentals and his phone is still having issues.

I will say that PA itself is even a little unstable for me on my nexus 4 as it is with many other nexus 4 users. A lot of us get crashes daily.

But the gs3 is getting multiple crashes daily and running hot. I know you said you're running fine, so it has me throwing my hands in the air like wtf?!?! I don't see anywhere where I went wrong.

Do you know if any of these kernels (even stock PA) is using a slight undervolt? I'm seriously all out of ideas. I'm trying to fix this damn thing but it's not cooperating. Now I have my annoying brother *****ing at me for basically "ruining" his phone. I'm definitely returning it to stock tonight if I can't find what the hell is wrong. This is making no sense. And I am sure I am very annoying with all my posts about this. I am sorry about this guys. I honestly am just lost. I've tried everything, it just won't work. Maybe he just has a POS model. Idk.

The only thing left is that somewhere in the rooting process, the toolkit screwed something up... That's the last thing I can think of but can pin point anything exactly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I don't know about any nexus 4 users other than my brother and he hasn't had one lock up yet... I flash his phone every week for him.

I can't give specifics but a lot of threads I help on start with "I rooted with x toolkit"

If you are going back to stock for your brother I'd say go completely stock. Root with odin and try pa again. Humor me lol.

What do you have to lose at this point?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DKaine:
Actually, KorGuy123 beat me to it... But every post I have seen that started with "I rooted with x toolkit... and whatever errors" I have also recommended starting from scratch and using Odin from the computer.

Have yet to have any problems with flashing when using Odin on my computer.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NicholasQ:
i understand what you guys are saying, but if all the toolkit is doing is flashing the exact same files that you would do manually, I don't see why it causes problems. But that's probably what i'll do, just go do everything manually.
