R: [Q] CWM deleted, no Boot, paranoid android, siyah kernel

That's not at all the same thing...custom roms change from one to another but a recovery needs to be solid, the thing holding all of your stuff together in the safest way possible. Of course i could trust a rom developer, but since android updates oftenly i will probably change rom just as often...not the same for recovery. Recovery needs to stay put, solid, stable, updated and trustworthy.

How can i know this philz guy wont make any new versions of his recovery after a month to come, or how can i know if i choose to switch to clockworkmod again because philz stopped development the backups will still be compatible?

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Thats why im still on stock...alyhough i am considering switching to foxhound...(because it is perfect for s3 and well updated).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
PhilZ recovery can make backups compatible with CWM and TWRP. You can change your recovery any time.

and good luck being on stock.

actually, having an updated rom is more important than an updated recovery. recovery just needs to backup and restore to be useful.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killbubble:
R: [Q] CWM deleted, no Boot, paranoid android, siyah kernel

Yeah but i dont wanna miss faster backups...if they update i might miss it...cause philz doesnt have its own rom manager app...even though i prefer it to cwm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
So, you advise not to use PhilZ because if he's stops updating it, you'll miss it too much? You're clearly posting nonsense on purpose
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killbubble:
R: [Q] CWM deleted, no Boot, paranoid android, siyah kernel

No either im not speaking english or your browser is not too keen on arial font: i'm afraid, since philz recovery is a clockworkmod very much enhanced, if clockworkmod updates the backup process and makes it faster, philz might have stopped updating HIS recovery and i would not be able to have faster backup process unless i restore clockwork.

Also i said that IF philz does indeed update his recovery, i won't know cause he doesnt have a rom manager just like clockwork mod (so i would be forced to go chek xda every once in a while)(please dont spam by reposting you already said having an updated recovery is not so important, that is not the point).

Antways ive already updated to philz, as soon as i found out it could compress backups and make me earn one gig of free space...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
most ROMs don't have version notifications, doesn't stop me from using them, and it shouldn't stop you. about the "faster backups" nonsense - that's nothing but speculation. PhilZ always updates with the latest CWM base, and his updates are much more frequent that koush's.

And the fact that you flashed it negates all of your points
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killbubble:
R: [Q] CWM deleted, no Boot, paranoid android, siyah kernel

Only difference is in philz i have no updates reference except having to open up my browser and go to the xda thread every once in a while. In a rom, even if i do not have notifications, most usually there is an ota update section in settings. If there isn't there are rom managing apps on the market that can do it for you. Much simpler than visiting a thread...

No it doesnt: maybe you like pizza more than cake because it has the cheese and crunchy crusts and stuff, but you admit it is too oily and the cake is way better under this perspective. in much the same way i was making a comparison between cwm and philz...

Also the fact that you know philz updates his recovery very often makes me understand you often do check you recovery for updates, and most probably update the recovery often(even though this is not required for my statement as long as you go check for updates...), so that nulls your previous point where u said updating recoveries isnt very important.

2 - 0
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
There are tons of great ROMs without any OTA or version control apps support, doesn't make them less great, so you're wrong there.

I was talking about the average user. For an average user, updating the recovery is not important. I'm not an average user far from it. I always have the latest software running on everything I have, I like it like that.

You're trying way too hard :)

I am a newbie in Android phones..i just got A [Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 s6500D] 2weeks ago and i was encouraged to root my phone and install [Rhan's Rom Iced Plus v3.2.5] from sir payas0's thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1895153) and sucessfully installed it on my phone..before I did that( when I just received the phone from my brother), i tried to use my BH-503 in this phone and it worked perfectly, and tried it as well as in my sister's Galaxy Ace Duos..but when I rooted my phone and installed this ROM, the bluetooth headset DOES PAIR and CONNECT, but still when I play music through the Music Player, the sounds came out it the speaker of the phone and not in my bluetooth headset..I hope you can help me through this matter..thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbad614:
In the post it is suggested to file an insurance claim.....I don't think it is right for XDA to sticky/pin a thread that suggest defrauding your carrier.

Although I agree pointing out the fact of "not flashing other carrier's ROMS," I do however disagree with suggesting fraud. The statement in the post contradicts itself. I have flashed ROMS since Android/Blackberry has been around and if I bricked it.....I bought it.....Warranty does not cover "wannabe programmers."

Just my 2 cents.

Just for reference:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2156714

DO NOT FLASH INTERNATIONAL ROMS!!!!!

Just a reminder to avoid you making an expensive paperweight. Flash only ROMs made for you carrier!

If you do screw up, man up and pay your deductible for insurance instead of trying to fraud your carrier for a warranty replacement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JungleKing76:
The thread clearly states NOT to defraud the carrier. The post recommends a claim against insurance. This is not contradicting since the insurance is through a third party that the user pays for and not the actual carrier.

Insurance is there to cover any damage you cause. What is the difference between a "wannabe programmer" and someone who drops their phone in the toilet?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbad614:
The difference is: the Carrier insurance is for physical damage/loss/stolen.......not self inflicted software failure. Contact any provider: insurance is not in place to save you after you have "f_cK'ed your phone up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Agreed. I have no problem sending someone to get a refurbished phone through insurance. That's why you're paying for the insurance. I only have problems with people trying to get Sprint to pay for their mistakes. In the short run, they save a couple of bucks. In the long run, that practice will only lead to increased prices for us all.

Coverage

Total Equipment Protection has got you covered for just about any situation that may derail your day. Whether your phone is broken, beaten, lost, or stolen, we quickly re-connect you with all the people and places that matter to you.

Total Equipment Protection covers you for the following:

Loss

Theft

Physical or liquid damage

Mechanical and electrical failure due to defect or normal wear and tear

Flashing and bricking your phone does not get covered under this-----this is why deductibles go up...over use of insurance by people who should not be flashing their devices....

:D fyi, I still love you guys. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LouRock:
This rom seems pretty snappy. Looks great also.. Awesome work here man, keep up the good work. :rolleyes:

LOL.. just getting one in before the removal..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbad614:
As far as this being off topic, it is because it is in a sticky----in this section. :D :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
A bricked phone is a damaged. I bought my phone. I damaged my phone I pay for my insurance.

If you accidentally drop your phone how different is it really from accidentally bricking it?

"Contact any provider" wahhhh I cost a multi billion dollar company a hundred or so bucks. So so sorry for costing them a fraction of a second of revenue. They lock MY phone's down. I'm still paying those bastards ten bucks a month for 4g I don't have yet.

They can bite me.

I'm giving them ten dollars a month for nothing. If I **** up a phone, I'm ok with letting a billionaire pay for it.

I won't defraud them. I'm going to pay my deductible.

But I'm not going to pay 650$
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbad614:
It's not about that......It's funny how a thread like this can bring out the "Trolls." This thread is only about changing the sticky so it does not suggest going by way of insurance.......It should just be a simple "You are SOL" if you brick your phone.

Please, "Trolls" go back under the rocks......go flame somewhere else. Goodness!! :D

And for the record......if a phone gets bricked because of flashing a bad ROM.....it's like throwing it at the ground......because you sure did not flash the ROM by accident.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Interesting, I did not know that it does not explicitly say "bricked phones."

I was looking through the detailed coverage plan (with all it's legalese), and came across the exceptions and none of them seemed to invalidate the warranty based on modified software. The closest thing I could find was this section (In Section II, exceptions):

H. Loss caused by or resulting from use of the Covered Property in a manner for which it was not designed or intended by the manufacturer. Loss caused by or resulting from failure to follow the manufacturer's installation, operation or maintenance instructions.

This seems to be limiting their liability for things outside the phone. Like you cannot claim the cost of fixing your car from when you ran into that building while texting behind the wheel (not following the manufacturer's operating instructions).

I don't know... I was trying to look through the document with an unbiased eye, but I do like having the safety-net of having insurance in case I brick my phone.

Let me know if you find anything in there that voids the coverage based on modified systems (ROMs, rooting, etc).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbad614:
This is not about pointing the fingers and telling people they are wrong.

It's about the things that go on without being said. I do not think XDA should be outright saying to file an insurance claim.

That is what this is ultimately about.

Sorry if I have caused a lot of corinaries/ruptured veins. :D

I bought this phone used from eBay and it worked fine for about a month.

Then the Wi-Fi stopped working. as you can see in the pictures, the wifi button (slider) is disabled/grayed out and if you go into the menu, it is stuck on "Turning wi-fi on".

I've tried everything from downgrading to 2.3.6 GB (currently on official ICS 4.0.4 through Kies) to installing Cyanogen mod ROM but it wont work. rooted then unrooted. everything else works great.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've attached screen shots to this post.

Thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheVJ:
Yup. I did. I have other devices on home wifi that have no problems connecting. In addition i have tried at starbucks and work wifi. Still no go.

The WiFi on the Galaxy S2 wont even turn on to recognize/select networks (SSIDs) to connect to. As you can see in the pics, the Wifi ON/OFF button is grayed out/disabled.

Did you try flashing a different radio since the issue started? If not I would try it, maybe downgrade the radio to UVLI1 or even try re-flashing the same radio. I know I had this issue once before but fixed it somehow, I think it was just a reboot for me but if you tried all of what you said in the OP you would have rebooted a few times.

I know this thread is nearly a year old, but I had this problem and figured out a fix that worked for me so I know its still relevant.

My fix was:

- reboot into latest cwm recovery (v6.0.4.3 touch for me)

- click "mounts and storage"

-click "unmount /cache"

-reboot

So far it has worked every time and wifi screw ups have happened rarely ever since. Hope this late post helps at least one person who was as frustrated as me!

Ok, with these known I know how to help you: on that bootloader you cannot install any roms except ics sense-based. For all others, downgrade your hboot to 1.49 (lots of topics for that round here, you just download the P86IMG to root of sd card, reboot in bootloader and accept the install). Then you will be able to use any roms you wish. Have fun

[HTC EVO 3D] gentrithumolli:
When you download a CUSTOM ROM it should say if it works with hboot 1.49.For example i have Elegancy ROM and it works for hboot 1.50 or lower.

Why does the Signal suck so bad on the SIII. I am rooted and running the cleanrom with the latest radio and it still sucks.

I ended up retiring the SIII and went back the Mot RAZR MAXX and wow what a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
It doesn't suck for everyone. My call quality is better on this phone compared to my incredible. Dbm's are plus or minus 5 compared to the incredible as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kendive:
Well I tested it side by side in several different places here in Florida and this a good strong signal area and the SIII just can't keep up with the Razr MAXX.

You think I got a dud for a SIII and there is probably nothing I can do about it other than get another phone. I can sell it and buy something else.

It's works great is most areas it's just when you get in the areas where it may down to one or two bars. Hell I had two bars and 3G and it won't even send a text. It will fail sending. I use the MAXX in the same area no issues at all.

I feel the SIII has a weak antenna in it.

For me it's not work using. I want a phone that will work in the areas I am in. I never had an issue until going to the SIII

Yea I always keep a couple of extra of phones just for that purpose. I tried turning off the 4g and going 3G only still the SIII sucks in certain areas and the other phones have rock solid service.
