[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jamison904:
OK if you did that good. If this is the case you just need to set the path to java. Hold on and I'll get the info for you

Add Android SDK Path and Java

In terminal do:

gedit ~/.bashrc

Enter the Following:

# Java PATHs
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/64/jdk1.6.0_##
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

#Android PATH
export PATH=$PATH:~/android/sdk

Now these aren't going to be copy and paste ready. You will need to modify them to make it work for our device. The good thing is they are very close and only little things like conditions and switches are off. This is were the fun comes in. But are doing one or two of these you will be able to tell what needs to be adjusted.

I forgot to change that. That command tells it that it is on the root of the partition but it is not. Take the package and place it inside of your home folder and try again. Or grab the right click terminal (tell you how in next post) then make a new folder on your desktop and name it Java. Then place the package inside the new folder called Java. Now you can right click and open the terminal here and continue with the commands. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Re: [Guide][How-to's]Rom's, Smali, code. Links to all S3 MODs and Tweaks!

Crap man not good. When you plug the phone into the computer does it recognized the phone? Does it make a sound like when you connect it? Try this first after connecting. Do

adb devices

Then it will tell you if it recognized the phone. Then if it does do:

adb reboot download

If you can get to download mode we are good.

Any chance you tried Odin but didn't turn off repartition? That is the only time I have personally seen a phone not respond and I have brought back many phones from beyond the dead. Also try connecting to a different USB port if nothing try another computer. Have you tried both windows and Linux? Thanks man and good luck

I tried odin and another usb port and the phone still does not respond. I think it's bricked. Last time I had this situation was when I was flashing the bootloader of my HTC desire I accidentally unplug the phone from computer. Then it does not respond any more. So I had no other choice but spend money to repair it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jamison904:
Re: [Guide][How-to's]Rom's, Smali, code. Links to all S3 MODs and Tweaks!

What exactly happened. Can you remember and give a detailed recall of the flash? Also could you upload your updater script from the ROM you were flashing so I can see what happened. Last don't give up yet. There if a jig that could put it into download mode. I made one before and it worked perfectly. You can find a guide on how to make one or even were to buy one. Try that before giving up. So reparation wasn't on in Odin? Did you get the failed message while flashing through Odin?

Well those are the wrong blocks. You are bricked but a softer brick. It is possible to come back from this. I have done it myself. What I want you to do it plug the phone in and leave it there over night. Let it get as much of a force charge as possible. Then we will try Odin tomorrow. This works for some reason. Just let it sit and charge.

Re: [Guide][How-to's]Rom's, Smali, code. Links to all S3 MODs and Tweaks!

Yeah man. Good luck and sorry. Very discouraging bricking on your first try. This is doesn't happen that often. Also once you get Odin working and can get recovery back let me know. You may need a zip to flash to format your partitions to the correct blocks. If you get that far and I hope you do let me know and I will make one for you.

The easiest would be to download right click terminal (you will need to reboot) and the whatever folder you have it in do a right click and open terminal here that way you are in the same folder already. Also make sure to type the period and then space once then type andadb.sh

Like this:

. andadb.sh

ok, finally getting around to doing this and have a quick couple of questions that i'm sure i know the answer, just want to make sure

i've downloaded the Samsung firmware and extracted it from the zip file, and also removed the .md5 from the end so its just a .tar file.

you then say to extract that into the Development folder i created and move boot.img, system.img, and cache.img into the original_update folder

do you mean to extract all the files from the firmware into the Development folder or just put the firmware file there, open it, and copy those three files out

and second, the cache and system img files end with .ext4. do i need to remove those like i did with the .md5? or leave them (system.img.ext4, cache.img.ext4)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jamison904:
Last PM I have from you was about and apktool error. Not really sure what you mean here but

I am assuming you mean for AOKP as you wouldn't compile a TW ROM. You can modify the build.prop from inside the zip once it is built. If you are wanting to add tweaks to it and have it be built with it you can modify the common_config file in vendor/AOKP. You can also change the name of the output zip and a few other tweaks in this file. Good luck.
