ROM: Read-Only Memory

The /system partition is read only by default on Android devices. So, on a technical level, this is a ROM.

It's also an OTA, but it's

not

the update.zip. The update itself requires a 100% stock device, which we all know is annoying to acheive as one has to flash back all old G3 images, then update to J1 via OTA just to acheive stock. The update.zip also patches most of the system as opposed to replacing, which is what this does. This is a full stock ROM release built from the OTA after updating my device.

No extra bells and whistles, this is just to get the JB ROM out to the masses. Gonna start working on a ROM soon, but probably next week as I'm going out of town.

/system right now is only de-odex with init.d support. Kernel also has init.d support and custom bootanimation.zip.

Might release this 1.7ghz kernel I built later this evening, though :) Silky smooth with a stock ROM even. This JB update is probably the best thing that'll ever happen to this device.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] nexttonomy:
Love the rom! thanks very much Hyde!

any chance you can get the sd card swap working on this again?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tdawgg777:
yes! this exactly, ever since the sd card swap was implemented in your other rom i cant imagine the tab with out it got a few large games on sd now and dont want to switch files around twice. any way we could implement on our own? if not i may wait till you have it sorted on jb to update
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] keymaster911:
What you want and get. Is 2 different things.. MrHyde and I busted are asz to get this thing rooted. Not even telling how many devices I bricked. So sit on ur fingers and relax. It will come when he has time.. :D:D:D

I don't know that it'll work as is. If anyone wants to try, do so at your own risk. Just drop the script from /system/etc/init.d/ from doubleshot ROM to the same location here.

Reboot and hold on to your butt
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
Between finding a root, unlock, and getting recovery I'm impressed I never bricked it! Only recently did i, typo..... Hah

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
I assume its what defines what's trusted to interact directly with the devices hardware.

Either way, if you're coming from ICS and you've yet to flash it, you'll need it if you want to run Jellybean.

I tried th jb doubleshot rom it was smooth. Only issue was google maps kept redrawing screen

I went back to ics but ill give this a try

What sort of redraw issues? It works great for me.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tdawgg777:
When i have it in nav mode weather i have a destination set tor not the screen flickers and all street names disapear and after a second or so they start to come back. Did it all last night. As soon as i restored ics doubleshot it was fine. Not sure if what i discribed is in fact a redraw but it was bugging me to see it flicker all night. I drive a cab so i got maps open and in nav mode most of the time.

Edit

I should also mention it doesnt happen when stopped only when moving
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
Ah, ok. I'll give it a try tomorrow morning on my way to work and see what happens.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axman15:
Is there a particular reason why my Nexus 4 is not working with either Korektel or AsiaCell in the Kurdistan region where I am now? I cannot get this thing to work att all and am baffled.

My model number of my device is LG-E960 if that makes any difference. I was totally looking forward to having a multi-use SIM card smart phone wherever I travel but now all I seem to have is an expensive paperweight with wifi capabilities :-/

Any help at all would be appreciated!

Don't put ur imei here ...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axman15:
The SIM card I have used here are sold via convenience stores, the store owners are not much help at all and I haven't been able to find an english speaking source for general questions for the carriers yet.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
You need to make sure the carrier you choose uses one of these GSM frequency bands:

- GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

- 3G (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axman15:
Issue resolved.

Thanks for the help with my issue. It turns out that the problem was that the store I had bought the SIM cards from was cutting them down incorrectly, I did not see them physically cut the cards so I imagine they were simply cutting the cards down free style, so when the Micro SIM was inserted into my Nexus 4, the SIM card wasn't making contact with the proper points, so of course there was no way the SIM card could even communicate with the phone and the phone with the network.

After about 2 SIM cards from the shop that failed to work I was beginning to suspect either I had a malfunctioning phone or that they were incorrectly cutting the SIM cards.

I happened to be talking with a work associate of mine who said he had a Micro SIM card cutter, and he offered to cut a SIM card for me on the chance that the cards, once I put in the card that was cut using his SIM card cutter the phone picked up signal almost immediately and I was able to fix my problem.

So to brief back to any interest parties, Korek DOES work on your Nexus 4 in the Kurdistan/Iraq region as long as the card was cut down properly. I will be investing in a SIM card cutter to make sure I don't run into this issue again. I am quite pleased with this phone and spent the last hour or so setting it up and I have been happy with it's crisp performance and I look forward to exploring more of it's capabilities.

Thanks all for your assistance.

all roms will have SOME bugs on them, even stock ones. I suggest trying a few 4.04 touchwiz based ones such as KOODO or JK, and moving from there to a AOSP based 4.1 or 4.2 rom or a 4.12 leak.

Embryo 6-8, just awesome my favorite to date, another one I liked was JMT but that was ICS 4.0.3, it ran great but I felt that I downgraded since my stock ROM was 4.0.4. Others I tried were AOKP 4.2.2 M1 B5, just too AOSP looking for my taste, had random crashes, Jedi Jelly this one just stuck on booting.

So:

#1 Embryo 6-8, overclocked to 1.78 using samsung governer

#2 Stock 4.0.4 Koodo

#3 JMT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johnboy228:
Okay, I have seen many post on hard brick and also seen the many suggestions. Tried all but it seems that I just have to bite the bullet and turn it in to either Sprint or Samsung. I loaded a international rootbox mod and hard bricked my phone. It recognize by my pc by the usb connection and assigning a com port. It dose not load the flash drives though. Odin dose not recognize the usb connection. I tried qubking777 methods(which seem to be used for only soft bricking), tried to put it every mode possible, and even removed the sd/battery then connect to usb. It gets a red led light for about a couple minutes but nothing in trying to flash via Odin. If anyone has anything new that I can try without jig/Jtag would be helpful. I have been claim to be a noobie at this from friend at work and know that the pc world is different from the smartphone world but some of the concepts are the same. That if you think the same way as I do. So please no crazy remarks that is any demeaning ways. I do have some experience with root and mods when I did this HTC EVO original.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
Its done the only way to fix is JTAG if you don't want to go through Samsung or sprint which would be insurance fraud anyway
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
To my knowledge, none of the Jtag methods worked on the G S III [currently].
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I've seen people report that they work. Never tried it myself, but thats just my 2 cents

@OP............have you read the numerous stickies, questions, threads, posts about what to flash and what not to flash? kennyglass123 and numerous others have made

sticky

threads about how to get started, what to do and not do after you root

Cmon dude, even though they may have the same name doesnt mean that software-wise theyre the same

I have an EVO 4G and an EVO shift 4G, but i dont go flashing roms between the two just because theyre similar

When you're doing this kind of system level, you need to know what you're getting yourself into, in the end you couldve just asked in the thread if it works for the sprint s3 or <insert carrier here> s3, and you wouldve gotten a "no"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johnboy228:
The mentioning of me doing things to the EVO and talking about the same thing was saying that I am reading and not jumping into stuff i do not know about when working with the S3. Yes they have different ways of rooting and flashing what not but the technology and concepts are the same. The only thing have jumped into over my head was that I grabbed the international load of rootbox mod because there was no clear indication what mod was what from their website. Once I loaded that and reboot, now I am a bricked. I am just trying to see if there anything that I haven't tried yet. It seems that I have indications that the phone has not gone to far and I can do something. Maybe something that works the with bootloader to get it to a point to clear and flash a restore..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
The technology is not the same either

The international version is GSM while the sprint variant is cdma, the international version is quadcore while the sprint one is not

Software wise, the partitions line up, but incorrectly

The boot partition on the sprint variant lines up with the misc partition on the international, and a couple other partitions line up incorrectly as well

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Phones completely done dude. You can't do anything to recover it without getting it jtagged. You have no boot loader the partition for the kernel on the international S3 is the partition where our boot loader is stored so when you flashed that international rom it wiped your boot loader and wiped other important partitions

Thank you for pointing this out. The OP also gets defensive when it's pointed out. He uses all the wrong stuff but when he breaks it he finds the right section to seek help. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

he claims he is reading and not jumping into things, I guess he skipped over the word INTERNATIONAL as opposed to the one on this section SPRINT.

OP and as you wrote "please no crazy remarks" this and the others are not crazy it's just amazing how you did not find the right section to begin with but had no problem finding it now that you messed it up?

So you guys want defensively. You getting it. Believe it or not, technology is blending together. I have background in IT field to see the history of it all for almost the last 20 yrs. Yes different manfactor and carriers define these phones but that is the only thing that seperate these from computer is the phone portion. Yes I have been following this fourm for a while which lead me to the rootbox mod page in the first place and known where to paste certain threads. I don't even know why I thought there was some very intelligent people on here that are nothing but very disrespecting when someone is looking for just the slightest information.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Johnboy you have to understand we get three or four of these every week from people who do not read and just flash away. They find a rom on the international thread and flash it. Voilà 600 dollar paperweight. Then they do fraud and claim hey don't know why their device doesn't work. Who pays all of us with the continued rise in cost on our device.

It's funny though how every single one of them find their way to the right place and forum when they mess-up their phone. Amazingly!

This is the best place and forum to find the right information about your device. Swallow up a little pride own up to that you made a bone head move, and move on and stick around. You will find lots of support.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
I'm going to save some time and update your status for you. As you'd see this imformation if you searched...

The drivers its requesting is the "QHSUSB_DLOAD" driver. Its basically a piece of hardware waiting for firmware to be loaded at a factory level. You will not talk to it with any software you currently own, hence the jtag requirement. Spent months hoping to do the same. You won't I promise. If I'm not mistaken even Samsung doesn't fix it in the state its in. I believe they send it to qualcomm, could be mistaken there tho so don't quote me on that. And props to edfunkycold for telling it like it is. Needs to be said and youll probably recieve an infraction now for not holding his hand and telling him it will be okay. Telling people the truth tends to get you in trouble on here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johnboy228:
I know that I am going to get plenty of flack for this but after a week in working this issue. I had given up and turn it in for new. Even after building a jig that did not do anything at all. I know the jig works because it sent the new phone into download mode immediately but it did not reset the flash counter. Sorry for not finding a fix or even had to turn my phone in. In my field it takes breaking something to make sure you never do it again. So now I know not do flash anything for the GS3 I9300 for the the Sprint model.:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AxAtAx:
Man, you are wasting your time, get the damn thing JTAG, period. If you are looking for a free fix, it AIN'T happening....the international rom hard bricked...period.

BTW, being an IT guy, you should have known to read before applying....you are more knowledgeable than some of the noobs. And by your negative responses, it is for sure a tech reply!
