I would try another file download location (which you did not specify where you downloaded from). You might also try and redownload and ensure to do an MD5 check. Of course this means factory resetting again and ODIN.

If nothing else, download rooted ROM from Mr.Robinson's post and unroot it. This will keep your flash counter as is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
Thank You for your quick responce. I downloaded the rom from a video i found on YouTube.(doesn't seem reliable huh...) How do i do an MD5 check?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Follow this thread for downloading stock roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1968625. After unzipping most should end with the file name .md5. ODIN will do the md5 check automatically for you. Just pay attention to the prompts.

If you find that this does not work, go here and download rooted rom to be flashed via ODIN. You can then remove root.

If the file is not ODIN flashable with an md5 at the end, look for a long string of digits and letters that should be right by the download. A good example to know what I am talking about is to take a look at the site for rooted stock roms. Notice the md5 under the Old image AT&T file download link. Download and extract this file and follow the directions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
I tried Mr. Robinson's rooted stock rom, and it has the exact same issue.... Is it all just in my head? Please do help. My S3 isn't perfect anymore and i'm really OCD about it. I regret ever rooting.
[HTC One S] skyzent:
Hello, I broke the microphone of the mobile phone, every time I make a call, my party can not hear me, can you hear me speak only if I change the call to "hands-free". I wanted to know how to do to use the microphone in the "hands-free" every time I make a normal call, so that I can talk to anyone without having to change the call to "hands-free" and be able to stay on the front speaker.

I have s-off and all root permissions installed.

ROM: cyanogen build nightly 10.1

I hope in your help

[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
Is there anything that you could have done to dislodge the microphone? Have you altered the sensitivity? Has the phone gone for a swim?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ToreB:
Hi folks, i'm planning to upgrade my Norwegian Qtek1010 to WM2003 using the ROMkitchen image tools.

My unit is running on ROM 3.16.13 and radio 3.19.01.

Can anyone confirm that 4.00.11 upgrade will work here in Norway?

Also, where do I find a radio upgrade?

If I upgrade the radio stack and for some reason must restore my original 3.16 ROM, will the unit still work?

I've seen that downgrading the radio part may cause problems.

Best regards, Tore
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] gu:
Hi Tore.

As far as I know, WM2003 does not affect the radio part, so it will work anywhere, including Norway.

The latest upgrade for the XDA can be found on O2's website, but this upgrade is not supported by Norwegian distributors, at least not by IdeData (I guess that is where you bought your Qtek). However, IdeData has told me that they are testing a new radio stack these days. The upgrade will probably be available on their website within a few weeks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ToreB:
I couldn't wait any longer so I upgraded my unit with the XDA tools and a cooked ROM image. Of course I saved a backup of the original ROM image. I am running on my original radio version.

Everything is working perfectly, and I have noticed some neat features of WM2003:

-When entering SMS a character counter shows if you exceed 160 characters.

-Incoming SMS does not wake up the unit, only audible/vibrating warning.

Excellent if I have the unit in my pocket.

-A notification is given when an outgoing SMS is sent.

-Incoming calls and SMS' is represented by name without having to use the PPC2002 patch

-All buttons is disabled when unit is shut off

(for those liking the wake-up, there's no "More-tab")

-GPRS can easily be connected using the "phone shut off" dialog box.

(but disconnect is not that easy)

There's also the opportunity to include a lot of nice software in the ROM kitchen.

Some bugs have however occoured:

-The green hook-off button does not always answer a call or fire up the phone application.

-Sometimes all windows "tag" boxes for switching thing on and off, for example the box for enabling the Screen Taps in Settings/Sounds and notifications. It works when tapping the screen where the box is supposed to be, but the rectangle is gone.

Sometimes they are all there, I have no idea why...

I hope this helps others in doing an upgrade.

Best regards,

Tore

I'd say most of the enthusiasts are waiting for the upcoming "Daily Driver in a few weeks".

But there are plenty of developers, developing stuff! :)
[Ubuntu Touch General] ks3rv3rg:
Subscribe to the mailing list and you'll see just how active development really is, no where near dead.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Flippy125:
This. There isn't much use for this build with the consumer crowd. This build is more for those building apps for Ubuntu Touch
[Ubuntu Touch General] maxal:
I subscribed to the mailing list and I have not had any news at all.
[Ubuntu Touch General] jusada:
I kind of agree. I got my gnex just for Ubuntu touch, but in waiting for it I've found myself falling in love with android all over again. Its so nice on nexus devices. That's why I'm ordering my nexus 4 Friday. Can't honestly see me flashing Ubuntu touch on it, maybe on my gnex. Sad but true. Though I expect others will feel different.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Logseman:
That was an irresponsible mistake by Mark Shuttleworth to say. Ubuntu is piggybacking on CM, how can he guarantee compatibility with all those phones?
[Ubuntu Touch General] Shiftone:
Especially when we android devs already know how hard it is getting support and sources out of some of these chip manufacturers!

But that said - we're an enterprising bunch and I think we'll see support for many devices already out there. You only have to look at the amount of ports that already have GUI up and working.

To answer the OP - as others have said - it feels dead as no one is really using it yet because it is so incomplete. There's no point us here on XDA jumping up and fixing it because Canonical are already hard at work at their end. As soon as we start seeing alpha (May), beta and RCs you'll see this OS jump to life on a lot of devices here on XDA.

It'll be interesting to see how these ports fair when they make the jump to MIR and stop using CM code though.
[Ubuntu Touch General] jusada:
This is true, I really wanted this to happen. It seemed like something fresh and new. But I kind of feel the preview was just to appease people, it feels like it will go like Ubuntu for android. Big promises, but no end result. A daily driver was meant to be out any day now but I wouldn't hold your breath. I think they have bitten off more than they can chew. Look how long its taken Mozilla to get an os up and running. I'd like to be wrong, but we will see. Great idea, great design but questionable execution.
[Ubuntu Touch General] liawim:
Be al little patient people....its still in development. The the first phones with ubuntu will come next year...but the progression behind the screen is enormous. And its not only about the phone but is about one OS on all your devices. Tv, pc, tablet and phones.

Its going to be awesome...:)
[Ubuntu Touch General] jusada:
I don't think patients is what we're on about. The only person setting time limits is Mark Shuttleworth, its more about if it ever happens. Don't think anyone minds if it take a week, month or a year. Its the promises and then not happening that frustrates me and I'm sure others. I was excited about Ubuntu for android over a year ago, was even going to buy an atrix. Now I've gone and got a gnex and for Ubuntu touch. Then a week before its supposed realise, all of a sudden its a dev preview! The first videos and info left that info out and its running on cyanogen mod. That's not quite what we were told ether. All that aside the point being, I'm not against it intact I'd love it to happen. But in using this stock device I've found myself not really wanting to move and also expecting it not to happen. I can't help but feel the reality was more about getting people to use Ubuntu PC rather than touch. Its almost like any publicity is good publicity. Its not about time, its about truth and the truth is people are getting no feed back, where are they at, what they need, there's a whole community of developers at there disposal and there not using them. I had gone off android, Ubuntu touch has only made me love it again. I'm not trying to start an argument, its my view. Ubuntu to me just feels disorganised. Google doesn't!
[Ubuntu Touch General] jbseal:
I think that Canonical made ​​a mistake in announcing the DEVELOPER PREVIEW how they did, because it seems that many people do not know the difference between CONSUMER and DEVELOPER PREVIEW , and then come here in despair waiting for the OS.
[Ubuntu Touch General] TingTingin:
Canonical release the dev preview to appease the us then it died down were still gonna have a long wait b4 am official release after that happens if we die down again then we're dead

S4 INFO
[Ubuntu Touch General] jusada:
Yes and no. When it was enounced there was no developer tag. It was a week in before that was added, I can't help but feel that the "developer preview" was originally going to be complete but they realised they couldn't manage it, so they realised what they had as a "developer preview" it kind of feels like they messed up and tryed to cover it up. I might be way off base here, it makes little difference to me as I've already said I'll be staying on android for now. Least on my nex4, witch will be my every day phone. I might try it on my gnex if it ever emerges but I won't hold my breath. . . to be clear I'm not annoyed at it taking time, I'm just saying to everyone don't expect it soon if ever. We will see.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Wesp1024:
Not even close - there are already daily drivers and you can already test all the core apps on Ubuntu desktop.

Soon these will head over the the phone. Besides that you can already load your own apps onto the OS.
[Ubuntu Touch General] darkforester67:
Ubuntu touch is dead?, seriously?, how could you say such a thing when it's still in development... Mark Shuttleworth said it'll be ready for daily use soon so just hold tight and wait a bit.. Honestly I don't like posts like these because it makes the community lose hope in the OS when it's not even ready yet.. -.-

Isn't that what open source is recycling (or piggybacking) from other peoples work. Why rewrite what's already there I would have found it idiotic if they didn't use cm.

Next your going to say they freeload off debian.
[Ubuntu Touch General] jzero88:
I would have expected a lot more of builds/ custom roms from devs etc. Obviously there's a difference between consumer and Dev preview.... I love assumptions.

Just seems a bit slow
[Ubuntu Touch General] mgale88:
No. Many development updates every day.
[Ubuntu Touch General] HereticSins:
Nope! I'll rather have a fully functional os than a buggy one. If all I gotta do to get it is wait, than wait patiently I shall.

[Ubuntu Touch General] sebbo90:
Fingers crossed we get a daily driver build next week then as shuttleworth said. I really want to start testing my app but can't afford to be without a phone
[Ubuntu Touch General] liawim:
Do you have a source about the daily driver coming next week?
[Ubuntu Touch General] sebbo90:
Well shuttleworth said on march the 2nd it would be usable as a daily driver for devs in a couple of weeks. So I'm hoping that he is right on his timings.
[Ubuntu Touch General] 3DSammy:
This seems highly unlikely as they are so busy with the following schedule gleamed from the #ubuntu-touch IRC channel and from various UDS (Ubuntu Developer Summit) videos.

1) Happening now: Merge all current builds, apps ... etc into Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring)

2) "Alpha" release called Raring 13.05 for May 2013 which will include among other changes the MIR which replaces Android's SurfaceFlinger as the compositor.

3) First Ubuntu-Touch Phone form factor release is scheduled for Oct 2013 Ubuntu-Touch 13.10

4) Full convergence including the touch and desktop with Ubuntu 14.04 release, April 2014

NOTE: The "Phone form factor" is defined as both Phone and Tablet touch devices although the Canonical core team thinks "Phone" first. They all are using the Nexus 4 as their common test device. A few have other devices including Tablets.

I would not expect a daily driver, for the Canonical supported devices (Nexus), any sooner than May but more likely later in the summer even for the most forgiving definition of a "daily driver". I am not trying to be negative just a realist.
[Ubuntu Touch General] sebbo90:
I agree that may does seem more realistic I just don't get why shuttleworth would say it would be in a couple of weeks if it won't. It's just annoying
[Ubuntu Touch General] BukaKing:
Outside of everyones personal wishlist, the definition of a daily driver would be a version of the stack where an update doesn't wipe your personal data, including your installed packages, or at a minimal, a way to save and restore these before and after an update.
[Ubuntu Touch General] 3DSammy:
If you have enough free internel/external SD storage then use nandroid backups to "freeze" a specific image.

As for updating try adding the ppa on the device over ssh, as there is no terminal yet.

Accessing the device over SSH:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes#Accessing_the_device_over_SSH

Add Daily PPAs on the device itself:

> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/daily

> sudo apt-get update

> sudo apt-get upgrade

Although I have not added the Daily PPA I regularly swap between Android and Ubuntu-Touch nandroid backups using these instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39255942&postcount=6

You can use the same nandriod backup/restore method as mention in that link to have multiple copies of Ubuntu Touch so you can experiment safely.

I hope this information helps.

not Dead

its not Dead but it will no work with all cellphones or tablet it need special hardware requirements like if you are installing windows 8 RT. well that is a Great sounds
[Ubuntu Touch General] nicetaco:
Yeah, doesn't seem like the tegra 3 can handle such a demanding OS
[Ubuntu Touch General] Logseman:
Tegra 3 can run 1080p videos like a champ. The issue is on the drivers most probably.

Shuttleworth made an extremely irresponsible remark when he spoke about «daily driver quality» when Ubuntu's performance relies on so many external causes that Canonical can't control.
[Ubuntu Touch General] mike253:
No.. its not dead. Very much alive. Hashcode and Dhacker have both made big contributions towards getting Motorola devices supported by both CyangoenMod, Liquid Smooth, AOKP, and probably MIUI (based off cm, least the port is) here soon if more development happens.

About Ubuntu Phone..

Id be happy if they fixed the rotation and removed static data, enabled CDMA/World phone radios (like the droid 4) and allowed you to actually use the apps built in.. aka the daily driver. But that'll probably be a while, but hey, that's why they have other roms out there to experiment with.

On another note, once I get it as a daily driver on my phone, I'm fully moving over to ubuntu. Just for the integration system. I used to have it on the desktop but needed to move back to windows 8 due to a project that required vs 6 :( and that fact that I upgraded video cards from a gt210 to a HD 4650 and the amd graphics drivers are terrible..
[Ubuntu Touch General] tunizizou:
Like Desktop Ubuntu , i think ubuntu is build for more advanced users , people that know open source and not closed with windows or osx

it's same with phones , people are accustomed to use android or iOS .

Its absolutely not dead.. If xda is all you follow then you might consider joining mailing list , IRC's, blogs and Ubuntu forums ... That is the traditional way to develop Ubuntu..

The current status and main focus is to get the core applications up and running. They are making good progress there and they are shaping up.

In order to get out of chroot and to stop talking to the hardware over sockets it is necessary to get Mir in a usable state.

When that is done, I am sure xda will be full of Ubuntu phone stuff..

Mark Shuttleworth created a flashy video where he shows off an OS that looks like all it needs are 3rd party apps. Then a person finds out that basically nothing is functional in it, except it boots, and that's because it's a pretty inelegant ripping of Android code. It's dead. Firefox OS actually boots and can be used. Sailfish OS actually boots and can be used, for goodness sakes, TIZEN ACTUALLY BOOTS AND CAN BE USED!

This hack is just distracting talent from projects that are actually going somewhere. Never forget that Ubuntu itself has no actual software from Canonical.
[Ubuntu Touch General] ojdon:
All those projects you've pointed out have had one or two years worth of development... Ubuntu Touch's development has only been a few months... A bit of an odd comparison, don't you think?
[Ubuntu Touch General] dragon_76:
It's a chroot of Ubuntu on top of CM 10.1...you are telling me Android, CyanogenMod and Ubuntu have only been in development for a few months? Again, Mark Shuttleworth tried to play Jony Ive and Steve Jobs rolled into one (watch how he attempts to mimic Mr. Ives speech patterns) creating a video talking about this revolutionary OS, THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN DESKTOP FORM, that will have a new interface for tablets and phones. All the apps shown off in the video were fake. Jolla is the only other one to create a video, and we saw at MWC, Sailfish is functional.

BTW, Motorolla has been chrooting Ubuntu on Android since the Atrix 4G 2 years ago.
