No I know it doesn't wipe anything, but I'm asking, do I NEED to do a factory reset or anything to make sure it runs stable? When I used to install custom ROMs and whatnot on my phones, I had to always wipe data and cache to make sure it ran properly.

It is not must but I do recommend for best performance.

Search my thread for UBD word in both tab of listing (pda and csc), you have installed one of that rom at presently.

As your ap and csc both have UBD code.

Hi Dr.Ketan, just a question.

I forgot to write down what stock ROM my note 2 came with when I bought it.

And I already flashed a custom ROM (ARHD19)

Just wondering if there's a way to know my phone's stock ROM? :D

I could look at my friend's note 2 to know, but yeah, I'm curious.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Update with Kies this way

Kies - tools - firmware upgrade initialization

This will bring device to original state, but it will wipe device so backup imp data before this.

Assuming this method is safe with any ROM or kernel I'll be on :)

Hello Everybody,

Today, my xda became very wet, because it was falling in the water. I've open the xda and at this moment it's drying at home. The screen has a blak spot about 1 inch. Does anybody know what my chances are to get this device working again.

thanks,

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lojak29:
I seen someone mention that

People have been labeling tw roms and aosp roms incorrectly,There have been an unusual amount of brick topics lately, anyone else wondering if we are dealing with standard "flashing" user error, or actual misleading info on certain roms . Many of the most novice to longtime xda members have even been bricking over the stupidist stuff.

This device t999 specifically
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ziggy46:
bricking this(any) phone by flashing an incorrect rom isnt that easy to be honest... plus the worst that can happen by flashing is usually a softbrick a.k.a bootloop. (unless your an idiot and you flash stuff from a different device)

i mean i may just be way too experienced after 8 years of hacking away at android, but its not simple to brick a phone. its usually caused by lack of attention. for example, most people dont even read the OP of roms threads the whole way. they just download and flash and come back and say "why doesnt this work?"

im also curious how many people actually tried to use ODIN to restore there phone before they proclaimed "hard brick"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
I have literally 4.5 months of experience with Android and I feel the way you do so I think it's largely lack of paying attention or not doing the research and reading first. I've tried multiple ROMs on my phone and I've helped friends learn how to root and understand the process of installing ROMs and no one has had a brick yet.

If you jump out of an airplane without learning how to use your parachute what do you expect ?

The S3 most likely has a high number of bricks because it has a huge user-base - thus even if the proportions are the same as other devices there are more people by number who are trying things without knowing what they're doing and those people are going to end up with bricks.

I've certainly seen times when the ROM was to blame, but it's almost always not a hard brick. That's the chance you take with installing a custom ROM - sometimes there are bugs and stuff happens. If you can't accept that possibility don't flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ziggy46:
ahh the userbase! thats a good one thanks for pointing it out. i also believe that users from other variants end up here and flash the incorrect rom by google-ing "roms for s3" and going to the first xda link they see. which may lead to flashing improper roms resulting in the $400 paper weight

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
If anyone hard bricks this device they deserve it. You literally almost have to intentionally try to brick in order to do so.

On another note... I haven't seen many brick threads with ppl that actually broke their devices
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Hellstyrant:
Most brick threads I've seen lately are either softbricks, boot loops or not bricked at all, just errors from dirty flashing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
+1 i definitely agree with what you said. my friend searched on google "how to root galaxy s3" attempting to root her AT&T GS3, and almost ended up with a brick (she found an international s3 root method) had she not came and asked me first...phew that was close.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Reviewers:
It's just called common sense, not many have it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mgbotoe:
Most I have seen are soft breaks and user panics before either: clearing cachy and factory reset or Odin. They just jump straight to I have a break.

Google and XDA Premium have been my friend throughout my past few years with T-Mobile... since the days of my Behold, Memoir, Samsung Galaxy S 4g, and now my SGS3... I've found a great piece of mind in knowing I'm not a complete idiot, nor am I the first to screw something up.

And while I have made a few devices "boot-loop" from time to time, rooting is easy as pie. And if you happen to research before you do any job, you might learn a thing or two. I specifically love the threads (on any forum, not just here) where someone posts "READ CAREFULLY" followed by "DOWNLOAD LINK" and just two or three replies later, there has to be that one r-tard that asks "What do I do? Where's the download link? I'm so confused!". I want to piss in their coffee and break their mug over their face. Literacy is depleting; and there's little we can do about it.

Hilarious!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] moto211:
Things have gotten so much easier. My only brick was a g1 (HTC dream). Things were a lot trickier then. It had an IPL-initial program loader (bootloader) and an SPL-secondary program loader (radio). Some roms required the bootloader from the the HTC magic (mytouch3g). Not all dream radios were compatible with the magic bootloader. So you always flashed a magic compatible radio first then bootloader. One night when it was really late, I was repeating the flash I had already done I my own g1 but on my wife's g1 this time. I accidentally reversed the order and BOOM, hard brick. In that state, the ipl can't hand off to the spl. Only option was hardware jtag that hadn't been discovered yet.

She was pissed.

[LG Optimus G (International)] antztheman:
Hello there

I am currently having an issue with my Optimus G screen. When i rebooted the phone / power off, the backlight won't turn on. But after a few tries / sometimes even just clicked the power button to wake it up after waiting for few minutes, the backlight goes to normal (and if i never power off this thing then the issue seems to disappear). I believe this is a software issue. I am currently running on LG stock software.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem or at least tell me the method to be able to get the backlight back always? I don't wanna always face this issue if i power off this thing.

FYI, when the backlighting is not on i have tried to scroll the screen brightness to the max from settings but to no avail. Only with keep re-trying to power up for few times then i am able to get the backlight back on.

Thanks in advance!

I'm just wondering why is that some downloads are in Blu ray 720p. Isn't blu ray supposed to be in 1080p and also why is that the same bluray files are in different sizes yet they're still bluray e.g one is 8gb whereas another is 10+Gb. So my question is that which one is the one to go for, is bigger better and is does bigger always mean better quality?
[Off-topic] roofrider:
Bigger is better as long as it's coming from a big name guy.

It's a personal choice, i don't want 10gb files so i go for the smallest.

Btw can't discuss these here.
[Off-topic] xaccers:
The blu ray bit in the title means the original source was a blue ray.

1080 would be as close to the original as possible while 720 means its smaller but still better than a DVD rip.

All of this is very naughty and the people producing the downloads should feel bad about denying the film industry legitimate income.
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
It could be argued that it's basically treating the actual disc like a license, something the industry actually wants to do very much.

If my memory serves me correctly then I'm pretty sure that you can't download bluray discs of any quality, be they 720 or 1080. And I know that you wouldn't be talking about piracy on the forum as that's just silly. With those 2 points cleared up I think it's time to close this now :)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
1. Go to the kitchen option on the left side menu. Select the base for your new cooked ROM ... ex: 4.00.05, or 4.00.16 ... etc

2. You should see the top screen gauge in red. That means you have to check and uncheck some of the s/w contents untill it's green.

3. Select the EXE method and wait till it's "cooked" then down load the ROM file. Connect your XDA to your PC using the cradle and run the EXE and follow the instructions.

4. IMPORTANT: better to have a backup on SD card befor starting just in case.

Good luck ... :)
