@galactic bear: What happened when you try to update it past 4.0.4?? Did it try to update through the custom recovery?

As far as the post goes that I gave you the link for, under Section 1 where there's those 3 bullet points and it says download 1 of the following, make sure you do the 1 that says root and unlock bootloader it's the third bullet.

Think of it being similar to Windows. You have 95, 2000, xp, win7 and win8. All of them are windows just different releases. So if you take your computer with xp and install 7 on it it should be fine. Just like if you install liq. Smooth 4.2.2 on a device running 4.1.1 your essentially upgradeing the Operating system.So now the 4.1.1 phone becomes 4.2.2. That's it in a nutshell.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shaftamle:
Assuming you're rooted, either flash the stock root mb1 or restore you're nandroid backup. You did make a back up, RIGHT? THIS is why we back stuff up.

Thanks Shaftamle

Hi Shaftamle,

I just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 (bought a used one off e-bay so that I don't lose my unlimited data plan).

I plan to root my phone and was doing some preliminary homework. It looks like you have answered most of other people's questions, so thank you for helping out so much. I think I can root by myself with the information on this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stvnx7:
Thank you, I will do as suggested.

I am running into problems in Step 3. I used Clockwork (non-touch) and it says "success (0) / fail (0)". I do have "auto-reboot" unchecked.

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Step 2 went well.

Geez you must be a very patient person. Trying to help 3 people in one thread. These QA threads seem to be getting slammed with more and more people screwing up Odin during a flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
Seriously, how hard is it to follow directions?

All you need is ODIN and a stock rooted Touchwiz.tar. Once you have that you're golden. Install v1.2 to your phone from here to unlock your bootloader and then install this to flash your recovery. This whole process can be completed in about 10-15 minutes tops.

Wow, That's a huge post.

It is a lot of new terms you're going to have to learn. In the general section under the forum tab are plenty of guides aimed specifically for users like yourself. There's noob guides on what not to say, guides to Android terms, guides for how to develop and program for Android. I'd check there first so you could understand what we're talking about.

Most of us have no developing or programing experience. If you want to somehow get into that then there's also plenty of guides available to help to understand how the coding actually work. Unfortunately it's a little above my head, but they are around and available.

This website mostly caters to anything Android related. This includes the Kindle fire, but development for Windows and ios is extremely limited for what you'd find on this website.

You could learn a ton of stuff on this website that would teach you a lot about Linux, but I think that's all you're going to get for a non mobile platform.

Any other questions?

Nevermind I only read half your post, now for the 2nd half.

Rooting can do a lot for you, but it's difficult to get clear cut responses for what you're looking to do. It may be possible, but I can't give you a specific example of an app or modification that will give you abilities you want out of your device.

I'd just read around beginner guides. Basic reasons to root is to remove bloatware, customize the phones display (theming), custom rom implementation, running root apps to increase battery life and performance, etc. It all depends on the user, everyone's reasons are different. And yes, it will void your warranty.

[HTC One X] Psygnosys:
Hi, I'm having a problem with the phone freezing on booting D:

Unlocked the bootloader.

Installed ClockworkMod recovery.

Made a backup.

[Not sure] rooted it.

I tried to install a ROM [CyanogenMod 10.1], but that made the phone freeze on the HTC screen instead, so I tried to restore the backup, but now I'm stuck on the HTC One Beats Audio screen & ADB won't recognise the phone is connected [I've got the drivers & it worked before].

Can anyone offer any help? Would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Make a full wipe in the recovery then install the CM10.1, gapps and the vendors ! Don't reboot....go from the recovery to the bootloader

Adb reboot bootloader

Then flash the boot.img from the CM10.1

Then reboot the phone !
[HTC One X] Psygnosys:
Thanks for the reply.

I can't get ADB to recognise that the phone is attached to the PC though, despite having the latest drivers [HTC Sync] & the fact that it worked earlier. I've done kill-server & start-server a hundred times.

Any idea why what I've tried so far would make it unable to be found?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Hold the power and the volume - button together until the phone reboots into the bootloader, from there you can go in to the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device. Copy the needed files and do as i described in my first post.

You don't need adb, you need to perform fastboot commands in the bootloader. The rest is done in the recovery
[HTC One X] Psygnosys:
I already have a CM10.1.zip on the device, so erased the cache & flashed boot.img from that in the bootloader, then went into recovery & installed the .zip, but it's still bootlooping, just on the HTC screen this time though.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You need to flash the vendor installer in recovery also... find it in cm10.1 thread.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Install :

CM10.1

GAPPS

VENDORS

please read carefully ;)

VENDORS
[HTC One X] Psygnosys:
Okay, thanks for the help people!

I'm having an issue with getting the files onto the device to flash them now though. As I said, I had ADB working [how I got the CM.zip on there], but now it isn't & as there's no removable media for this phone, I don't know how I can get these onto the phone D:

In the device manager, it recognises the phone as a ADB thing, but checking the devices [adb devices] returns nothing.

I tried mounting USB in recovery but I got 'unable to open ums lunfile'.

Any ideas? Thanks again for the help so far.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
CWM is out of date.

DL this: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

Copy to fastboot folder and rename recovery.img

Phone into fastboot mode, type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then mount and it works.

Perfect, this did the trick! Big thanks :)

[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
There's a lot of discussion around about that update, ports and roms to come. I don't consider myself a noob either until I commit some mistakes, like posting in the wrong place or not reading anything around (either general or development sections have info on some future projects).

Check the ViperS thread, they are planning a release soon (just don't go asking for ETA's like that).

Also check general discussion, there's threads with a self explanatory title.
[HTC Sensation] looneylv:
When there will be a fully functional Sense 5 UI port then it will be POSTED HERE! Work to some new port is not easy! A mighty lot of bugs and not working properly functions and a lot of testing testing testing.... ;) So you - home user get almost the full 'official' experiance!

ViperS is working on something and I guess sometime in this year their project will be finished for sensation!

I repeat myself its a

very hard work

to build completely new port on some framework that isn't 'officially' supported by HTC... :D easy part is when its is already done and on that base you build you'r ROM.... Need to wait and eventually there will be one... If you cannot wait there are skins... or new phones!

Well not sure what u mean, of course, i could port HTC ONE rom, but we have problems even with perfect donor rom (VILLEC2), and dont wana even think how a port would end up, also porting sense it self onto VILLEC2 port is posibble but its also tricky, and would produce bugs.

So theres no point to bother as HTC gona release sense 5.0 relative soon for ONE series...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] difovo:
Hi, this is David. I have the optimus 4x, and i have to admit that it's one of the best devices i've owned so far, i've just been wondering about a few issues that shouldn't exist with a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. I will list them here and wish anyone could help.

1- The Camera

Not the video focusing issue which is fixed after the V10e update, now it's photos turn. When i open the camera, everything looks sharp and great, but it's not after capturing the photo because when i look at the photo in the gallery, it's somehow out of focus and the picture looks ugly overall. I've tried resetting the camera settings and tried other camera apps but no difference.

2-Game lags

That's something i saw people talking about and they said that these games aren't optimized for Tegra 3 because it was new in the market. So now why they're still lagging, even very basic games like subway surfers.

3-Incoming call screen lag

This screen is represented in two ring buttons (accept or reject) with waves coming out of them, i have to say this screen is very laggy so i can't just swipe my finger to accept the call but i have to do it slowly and wait a second before it's done of accepting the call.

4-Youtube

Sometimes a video lags once or twice in a 5 mins video which doesn't happen when watching other videos in gallery.

Yes, i know that's too much issues but what makes me confused is the device's overall speed when browsing the web and others... Even the benchmarks are showing excellent scores that sometimes beat the HTC one X. So what could be the problem?!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mmm273:
2. - on my , lags also Tegra optimized games ... so LG FW suck ... wait for JB, and after that (if stock dont fix it) come CM
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
Odd... I've had two different Call screens. One was with the circles to swipe like the S2/S3, the other was with square buttons to tap. Don't remeber in what app I was when the screen changed tho.

I've never noticed the lag in the incoming call screen, or maybe I didn't bother with it. As for YouTube it naever game me issues.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] difovo:
What about the camera focusing? It bothers me the most
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mmm273:
camera focus for me is perfect ... i didnt try video rec. but camera is for me without problems
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
one is when you recieve a call while device is locked (the swype one), the other one is when you recieve the call when it's unlocked (button one)

i have no lag on youtube, gaming is great with a slowdown now-and-then (NFS MW, for example. Vice City played with no lag at all), and camera is as good as any smartphone, even though i didn't quite test it as mmuch as i should've.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
Oh I see, I got the button call once when I was messing around with my phone (First day I got it).

Vice City gives me no issues whatsoever, no lag at all just a short audio pause once in a while but hadly noticeble.

NFS works well IF there are only 2-3 card rendered on-screen, otherwise the framerate just drops. I believe it's the reflections... if there would be a way to disable them on other cars and keep them on yours the game would run smooth. Funny how the lag itself gives me a warning.. if framerate drops be sure there's a roadblock ahead.

All the other games I've played so far are smooth (Asphalt 7, NOVA 3, Shadowgun.)

As for the camera, I haven't really tried it. I'm not the photo-taker kind of guy.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] difovo:
These 3 games you mentioned are laggy with me, the framerate drops alot which makes the games almost unplayable...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
I don't know what's wrong with your phone. It's rather odd.

I'm on Stock ICS with v10h (no flashes, no root, I have the phone as I recieved it). I'm halfway trought Asphalt 7 same as for Vice City.

NOVA 3 gave some lag issues on the first level then it stopped. Shadowgun (Specially the second one, the multiplayer) gave me no lag at all, everything is fine.

The one thing that bugs me about the phone currently is the poor battery life. Think that if you have 2150 mAh your battery would last, but nope. It's the poor LG software and bloadware that sucks it up, I might root my phone once JB rools out to get rid of some useless services.

I have been using my GN2 since they came out and have pretty good experience flashing/trying different ROM's. This morning I tried to flash JellyThunder and flash showed as complete. When I did the reboot, now my phone is stuck at the Samsung Galaxy GN2 logo. I tried entering into recovery by using "volume up" + "power" and still a no-go. I have pulled the battery multiple times and same thing. (always stuck at logo).

Next I tried to use ODIN and it does recognize the phone through com port but when I try to flash new recovery it just sits there and hangs. No error message or nothing. Did I just brick my phone or what? Please, need your help!

Hi,

You will have some infos here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1967843, mainly the last pages about kernels / roms and some CPU settings.

There is full of examples you mainly need a custom rom with some optimizations (Bionic / Krait / Linaro) and a custom kernel, all this stuff is here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1912 and with some reading and tests you can get about 24 000 in Antutu, with overclock obviously.
