I am a little leery about updating the bootloader. I thought I remember reading some time ago to avoid updating the bootloader. Is it not as dangerous now?

My reply from the other thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bird333:
I figured as much. :). The link you gave has zips with modems in them. I am going to wait to see if he makes a zip just with the bootloader. Hopefully he makes it soon.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Or just flash your current modem (or the latest if you don't have it.) afterwards.

All modems are here (sorted by carrier and release date)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bird333:
Of course. :) Thanks for the help. I am updated now. I'll decide later if I want to go back to the old modem.

I am loving halo (I'm sure most people are)! Question, every time I boot my phone I get this error message 'Paranoid Updater has stopped'. Anyone know what the deal is with this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Was it coming from a dirty flash or a clean flash?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DKaine:
I got the message after a clean flash. Both times I wiped and flashed.

It's because Paranoid Updater doesn't work for the SGS3... since we are not an officially supported device, Galaxy is not part of the Nexus line of devices etc.

When I tried to just run the application, I got the message,"You're device is not officially supported yet"

I just disabled the application in settings, and I haven't gotten that message since.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Glad you got the error to stop. :)

The updater on mine doesn't give any errors.

We are technically now supported. We have a d2att heading under the ParanoidAndroid section of goo.im that ayysir is building under for the time being.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bird333:
Definitely clean. It had been too long since I updated. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DKaine:
Interesting... Also, good point, we are now official (how exciting! :cool:)... I'm going to wipe/format everything tonight/tomorrow (not just factory reset, completely start the phone from scratch, including wiping the sdcard) just to see if starting with a clean slate makes any difference with the paranoid updater, etc. issues.

I'll keep ya'll posted...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
This is going to sound dumb but we have to start at basics lol.

Verify that it's on in Settings > Toolbars

Make sure that the trigger area is set to Normal or bigger (any smaller and I can't get it to activate)

Make sure that the gravity is set where you want it (I prefer right)

Last but not least press and hold power and make sure expanded desktop is selected.

If all those check out normal and you still can't get it let me know.

Samsung Galaxy s3 i747 4.1.1 to Latest PA rom

Hey,

I'm new to the forum and new to flashing roms. I am currently running a Samsung Galaxy S3 on 4.1.1 rooted and I would like to flash the latest Paranoid Android Rom 4.2.2 (with HALO). I have been reading and looking up tutorials but there's nothing that's similar to what I want to do.

I understand that before the flashing process, I should Back up my SMS, etc. Once I back them up using a third party app, I flash the rom and restore the backups correct?

Now for the part that i'm actually confused about, the files that are uploaded to the Nexus forum, can I use these files or must I use other PA files specifically for Samsung Galaxy s3? If so where would I get these files and how would I go about finishing the rest of the flashing process.

If anyone who has experienced a similar situation could help me out, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Custom Kernel

Anyone using a kernel other than the stock kernel on this ROM? I've always used ktoonsez kernel but on this rom i get massive overheating that causes kthermal to throttle and then upon leaving the throttle and restoring my frequency values I get a reboot. It happens often.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I've been running stock kernel for most of the week.

I used to use the BMS kernel with good success.

Flashed the latest leankernel last night and haven't had anything bad to say so far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bweezy21:
I just realized that the stock kernel frequency table ktoonsez kernel frequency tables are not in sync. That's probably my issue. The stock kernel has a low of 384 which is not available on ktoonsez kernel...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pseudocrat:
Boot Loop

I flashed the most recent nightly of PA 3+ with the most current PA-Gapps. I used TWRP recovery to boot both zips at the same time, so is this the issue?

I wiped both the cache and dalvik, and I also flashed from a clean flash of stock after rooting with the rootkit which worked successfully. Just to make sure I wiped both caches before and after the flash, but I continue to get the boot loop. I thought maybe it was just taking a while, but I left it for 5-10 minutes and it never got past the animation.

Any help?

Edit: I fixed it myself by reflashing the rom, flashing gapps, and then wiping the caches - just as the instructions say. Just had to do it a couple times.

When not in PIE Expanded Mode, you can pull down Quick Settings and Toggle Halo (if it isn't already Active). However, I can't seem to find out how to enable Halo (if not already active, in PIE Expanded mode. Any tips?

Right now there isn't a way without turning off pie and using the notification bar.

Part of the halo build was to incorporate it into pie2.

Halo is still in beta. Long way to go

Aha, see I hadn't seen the newest update with that merge. Since that update backlight has been just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Steuartl:
Quick question, I usually never flash a new gapps except when doing a full wipe install of a rom however with the frequent updates to PA Gapps are you able to flash them in a similar fashion to a kernel? Like just go into recovery flash, wipe cache, davlik and fix permissions or do you have to do a full wipe first and flash along with a new nightly or such?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Yup should be fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Posted this in the main thread also.

Just an FYI for everyone else (especially the Canadians)

Last night I flashed the stock Telus 4.1.2 Touchwiz (I know shocking)

It updated my bootloader to I747MVLDMF1 which is not a compatible bootloader for this ROM, I'm also going to assume all the others as well.

Anyone who flashes this update will have to flash back to the previous bootloader or Odin back to an older release.

Just something to keep in mind until the build.prop gets updated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Boxy52:
This is true, however I was using a d2att recovery on my S3 and had several problems flashing ROMs built for the d2att so I just decided to change the updater script every time.

It worked for me, it may or may not be the solution for him but hey at least this way it'll let him flash for now right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
That's odd that you'd have issues. You are right it would work if that is his problem but it would be a pain in the ass for him and you for that matter to have to do that every time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lightning Lord:
I no longer have the phone in my possession.

I have my own Galaxy S3 that I'll be working on instead.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Boxy52:
Hahaha yeah, but it's not that big of a deal. I just fix it everytime. Small price to pay for the amazing customization that comes with new ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lightning Lord:
I can't seem to get the camera working.

This May Sound Menial But...

I'm getting extremely frustrated because I can't get Candy Crush on my phone running PA 3.60 (June 30th nightly build) because it says that my device isn't compatible with the app. I've tried various build.prop tweaks and Market Helper to spoof the Play Store into thinking that I have a Nexus 4, Nexus 7, AND One X+ but no dice. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I think you might be alone in this one. I've been playing Candy Crush for weeks on this rom. Did you flash the pa gapps? I've seen issues with low dpi on the non pa playstore. The low dpi makes the playstore think you have a lower quality phone and therefore not compatible. Have that issue with my wifes S2 have to flash a modified playstore
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] treygrizzard26:
I did a clean flash and flashed the pa gapps that are listed on the main rom page. It's odd because like you said, I may be alone on this one. Could it be that I'm in the recommended setup instead of regular phone setup in the hybrid settings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Go into hybrid properties > tools > reset properties

Go to the play store app info, clear cache, clear data, force close and open it and try to download candy crush again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] treygrizzard26:
Tried that but no dice... I guess I'm just gonna have to try another clean flash of it but with a different base. I just wish I didn't have to because this is literally the ONLY thing wrong with my experience. *sigh*
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I don't know what you mean by "a different base"

If you mean the stock rom you loaded before wiping and flashing PA it shouldn't make any difference. A full wipe will wipe the system which deletes the stock rom.

I'm also interested if other programs are "not compatible" I noticed it with my wife's S2 when I tried to get her Google Maps.

Best of luck, it sounds like something simple is being missed. Oversights are usually more the culprit than something serious.

Latest gapps - http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps/pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130702-signed.zip

Latest d2att - http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/d2att/pa_d2att-3.60-20130630.zip

Full wipe and keep my posted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] treygrizzard26:
Different base as in a different nightly build. I'm running the 06/30 build, so maybe there's something way deeper than my understanding. Although you're probably right about it just being a simple oversight (in fact, with my history with these issues, it's probably an extremely simple oversight), I'm gonna cover all bases and just do a clean flash. Also, that's the only app that I came across that showed as incompatible. Even apps with the same criteria (version of android, resolution, etc.) worked for me.

Thanks for all of your help!

Is anyone having issues with gaming?

I'm using the latest build that was posted on goo.im (I installed the pa_d2att-3.60-20130629.zip version first, just upgraded to the pa_d2att-3.60-20130630.zip one and...

Basically almost every 3D game I play seems to end with my phone locking up.

I never had any issues with PA 3.15 while gaming, and I did a complete wipe before moving to 3.60 and I've noticed that all of my 3D applications lock the entire phone up before the phone either goes back to normal (with tons of flickering and the occasional lagspike) or resets.

I've so far encountered these issues with both N.O.V.A 3 and Minecraft, and the only issue that seems to fix it (or delay it, I haven't played long enough to check) is going into developer settings and selecting "Disable HW overlays".

Anyone else getting the same and know how to fix it?

Also is anyone else getting "PA Updater has stopped working." every time they boot their phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I don't know about the gaming. Everything I play is smooth as butter.

The pa updated crashing is normal, it's not perfected yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Terezi Pyrope:
Huh.

Everything runs literally flawlessly up until it locks up.

I'm just praying that it's not a hardware failure, considering this wasn't a thing when I was on the stock ROM and when I was on PA 3.15

EDIT: As it would turn out, it's something with the newest ParanoidAndroid nightly releases. I've currently reverted to Illusion and I may stick with this ROM for a bit, but if I get another device that PA is supported on or there's a new major release of PA, I'll probably end up going back!

ParanoidAndroid 3.69 on Telus S3

Hi!

I downloaded the PA 3.69 (d2att) ROM to flash to my Samsung Galaxy S3 (from Telus), however I keep getting an error. I have had PA 2.55 on my device for month now, and everything has always been fine. So I decided to update, but when I try to install, I get a "status 7" error. I did a full wipe and everything, and still got the error. After some researching, I tried to edit the updater-script and removed the assert line, however this resulted in a "status 6" error, for which I could not find a solution.

How can I install PA 3.69 onto my S3?!

Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Editing the updater script will not stop a status 7.

You have either the wrong recovery, out of date recovery or an out of date boot loader. (Unless you flashed the latest MF1 boot loader than its too new)

A search for status 7 will find you a large handful of people with the same problems you have

I just did a fresh install from the Revolt ROM to Paranoid Android. I did the following before installing Paranoid android:

1) Wiped data/factory reset

2) Wiped cache partition

3) Wiped dalvik cache

4) Installed ROM - pa_d2att-3.69-20130801.zip

5) Installed GAPPS - pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed.zip

OK that makes sense than. You said you were on telus so it threw me off.

If your boot loader is correct and you've updated your recovery. Some people have to go back a step or two in recovery. You could also try twrp instead of cwm.

So you flashed pa and have no service or you reverted back to another ROM and couldn't flash pa?
