[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dmavs3113:
Hi guys. I just got a new phone sent in because my previous was messed up. Turns out I can't flash Roms because there isn't a way to way to unlock the bootloader on the verizon s3 on 4.3 yet.... which sucks because I had it unlocked on my previous s3 so I could flash roms easily. Anyone know what I can do to flash this rom? I already have root, just can't unlock the bootloader...

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I responded to your post in Beantstown106's Alliance thread. No need to waste space posting the same question in different dev threads. That's poor forum etiquette.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dmavs3113:
Sorry just trying to get as much help from users of my favorite roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Just use safestrap method. If you look at the sticky threads on the main verizon s3 android development forum there is a big thread for all the need to know 4.3 information including your issue.

Don't think there's many s3 users left I'm stuck for a few more months not sure what I'll end up doing may jump from Verizon to prepaid not sure yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Huhh?? Galaxy s3 (at least the 2gb ram version) is still at the top of the chart. They just started offering them as free contract phones in many places, meaning a lot of people will still be using them for another 2 years. Not to mention the new 4.4 update for a majority of s3 carriers about to release. I still have a year left on mine >¬<
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Especially considering the plethora of new ROMs out now, both AOSP and TW.

It's a smorgasbord that keeps me jazzed about this phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maxpowerSr:
S3 is still a great phone. My contract is almost up but I will be sticking with the S3 for a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] acgr4me:
I don't see myself jumping ship anytime soon. My S3 continues to work great, especially with some moar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsannes:
I'm at the end of my contract trying to decide if I want to go to prepaid or stick with Verizon. Love the service hate the price.

But on a deferent note . I rebooted the phone the other day after a battery change and I lost touchwiz as a launcher. I have my third parties but no touchwiz launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
In case you didn't know this app existed go to the play store and search for "Default app manager" it has a green arrow on it. The rest should be self explanatory. It allows you to set default apps for every function of your phone. It's easier than fighting the clear defaults function in app manager.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] conadg:
Had to do a clean install yesterday. I would plug in my phone to charge and it would reboot and become totally unresponsive to touch, buttons still worked. Reboots at least 2-4 time per hour sometimes more. Clean install seemed to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsannes:
I'll check that out but my touch wiz launcher still is not selectable. Not sure what the issue is .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Sounds like you had bad values set for voltages. Did you over/underclock or touch ktweaker?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] conadg:
havent touched or messed with anything reboots are back same as before, im left scratching my head. Cant have this happening so i guess another rom it is unless some suggestions are offered.:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Well the rom is undervolted by default, as are many roms. What you can try doing as soon as the rom boots is go to ktweaker or whatever app you like and raise all of the voltages by 5 to 25 digits. After that the phone should be much more stable. Some individual phones just can't handle being undervolted, such as mine for instance. Dropping the phone or wear can trigger unstable voltages as well.

It might be an issue with battery connection as well. Try removing the battery cover and placing a piece of paper folded once behind the battery. That solved the same problem I had with another phone. My money is on the first, tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
I have to say.....I spent the better part of a year flashing every damn kernel in existence, messing with voltages, overclocking, underclocking, etc... What I discovered is, ultimately, undervolting is absolutely pointless! All it does is add instability to the system! You'll notice that you will still get very decent battery life if you 1.) Don't bother overclocking above 1512 MHz and 2.) Make sure that every step in frequency is using 1150 mv! That's it! Although, some people will still prefer to overclock, in that instance, you MUST slightly increase the voltage(s), but even at that point you are, yet again, introducing instability... Many people, including myself, at the end of the day just want a phone that works on command, without the fear of wondering if it's going to reboot on you at the worst possible time! It really broke my heart last Christmas season when my 2 and 4 year old boys were getting their picture taken with Santa...and as I took my phone out of my pocket to take some pictures, the damn thing rebooted on me! Sux!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
So I just confirmed the undervolting with ktoonz kernel. I just reflashed and went back to ktoonz kernel and immediately after I opened the camera my phone rebooted. I didn't touch anything before then. I opened ktweaker and raised all the voltages by 10 and the reboots stopped completely. I played with the camera for a good 10 minutes taking pictures of all my bunnies. (my family raises rabbits :eek: ) and a few test videos. Phone runs excellent now.

What you'll want to do is after you go to voltages hit menu and select stock voltages then increase by 5 twice or however many times until the reboots cease.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] igloohed73:
Does anyone happen to have stock S3 camera app they could share? I would really appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
From 4.3 or 4.1.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] igloohed73:
I would prefer 4.1.2.

Please don't die yet! Just one last update for bug fixes...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] igloohed73:
Anyone ever have all traces of there ext SD card disappear out of the blue.

Woke up this morning had a notification about my card being unmounted. Its like its not there.

When I get home I'm gonna check the card in my laptop to make sure the data's still there.

Other than that idk. Didn't do anything out of the ordinary to bring it on.

Weird, I'm at a loss?

EDIT- Whole card has been wiped. WTF! 2nd time a SanDisk or my phone has done this to me randomly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingerBlastJ:
think i asked this before but never got a response

any chance of getting TW KK 4.4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Not without a tw 4.4 build for the gs3. Last I heard the gs3 will not be getting 5he 4.4 update. But who knows?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Z:
It's not a ROM related issue but simply your SD card being corrupted. Since it's already wiped, format it to FAT32 through your computer and try to mount again. This usually happens when you edit files on your SD card in your phone (changing metadata of your songs through a music app, etc).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FingerBlastJ:
I read somewhere that maybe in may. but i need it for my wifi door lock, might force me to buy an s5 prime for a gazillion fafillion $$$$. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] igloohed73:
I really didn't think it was ROM related, just wanted some input. I don't remember messing with any files, definitely not music files, but it's quite possible I did edit something unknowingly.

I didn't realize cards were so easily corrupted when editing though. You opened my eyes a little & I'll be much more careful here on.

Mostly lost mods & widgets not a huge loss but...

Anyway I just ditched the card & threw a 64 gig one in I'd had for a while. Its all good.

Thanks for the input.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Anything is possible but no android device ever has gotten 4 major upgrades and gotten an update past 18 months since it's initial release. I wouldn't get an s5. The note 3 is better and with the an android overhaul in the near future I would skip the s5.

I am happy with my S3, so I will be holding on to it for awhile, but what's wrong with the S5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
#1? No root. #2 locked boot. #3 new features don't really entice me. Seems like a s4 v2 to me. #4 os will be obsolete soon. Android is moving from 32 bit to 64 by next year. #5 HTC and lg both put out better phones.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
I've been editing music files on my phone for years and not once had my SD card done that. Perhaps I've gotten lucky?? ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Verizon, as well as most other carriers of the 2gb ram model of the s3 confirmed and/or released rumors of a kitkat update for the s3. Simply because of details I mentioned in an earlier post: still a very popular phone, many people picking it up free with a 2 year contract, and the current android version is riddled with terrible bugs and battery drain. I love trying to show someone a picture only to have my gallery freeze and half my pictures go corrupt. For absolutely no reason of course.

I thought I heard somewhere that you shouldn't use sd cards bigger than 32 gb in most android phones or it causes problems. It may also be a problem related to the card having a bad connection or getting wet from sweat or water.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] igloohed73:
The card in mention was a 32 GB card. My phone nor my laptop even recognize it at all.

Water, definitely not, sweat possible. Who knows. Just gonna start backing up my cards & move on I guess. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Well i tried. How old was it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] igloohed73:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chiz511:
After updating from 8 to 9, my phone will no longer charge (or recognize that any power source is connected) from the 2.1 amp car>usb>miniusb charger I have in my car...

Can anyone suggest a way to resolve this, or even another potential fix for this?

I've tested power from the fusebox to outlet, outlet to charger, charger to cable, and tested the cable with another phone. Also my phone will still charge with other cables from my computer or wall chargers, and with the cable in my car from these sources.

Help!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Samsung kit kat? Nah Samsung designed crappy touchwiz, Google designed the kitkat launcher. 4.4.2 should get rid of most if not all touchwiz garbage. Although I guess it wouldn't surprise me if Samsung made some modifications to it since they can't leave anything alone. Either way I am hoping it will still be better than touchwiz and alleviate every touchwiz related problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
I love touchwiz. The kit Kat launcher is terrible. Bad enough Google shoves it down my throat in their gnow app. Shoulda bought a nexus if you don't like tw.

I partially like the Google launcher because it's so smooth and stable. However it offers absolutely no customization whatsoever, which is very, i repeat, very odd considering it's android. And what really irritates me is that Google released an update to prevent xposed xgels from working. I really don't understand their reasoning for doing some of the things they have been doing lately.

On the other hand I've given some of these 4.4 aosp builds a go but they come with more problems than my ex-girlfriends. And touchwiz combined.

It's referring to the 4.4 launcher updates. The ones in aosp and 4.3 are irrelevant I think. They don't update the same. Either way he's discontinueing the xposed module.

Need Help...Phone APK

I wasnt receiving voicemails and my clients were bringing that to my attention.

I tried downloading verizons bloat mail since i deleted it, thinking that was why people couldnt leave me voicemails.

I had google voice providing all my voicemails for 2 phone numbers and it worked until this issue.

But now every time i start my phone i get a voicemail notification and i cant uncheck stop showing the notifications in app manager.

The phone apk i have is version 4.3-L710VPUCMK3

Can someone post a phone apk so i can try and fix this.

I tried doing a dirty flash which didnt work and dont feel like doing a clean flash.

Thanks peeps!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Go into ktweaker.

Click on voltages.

Click cpu voltages.

Hit menu button and raise all voltages by 5 and repeat this step twice, for a total of 10.

If done correctly, no more reboots. If still having reboots then you got the poop end of the stick and need to raise by 5 more (total of 15)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] acgr4me:
Where is everybody???

I have a question. Is everyone still on this rom or have people jumped ship? I am just wondering because I keep trying new roms and I keep coming back to this one. All around this has been the only rom, that I have had the least amount of problems with, the most stable rom. If you have jumped ship can you tell us where so we can try that rom out as well? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n3wt:
I've been stuck on Alliance for a while now and have had no problems. I landed there after trying almost everything else. But having read everything about all of the various options I think going stock and hard coding any options/features you want to be the best course. ...I may change my mind once I get unlazy enough to try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] acgr4me:
Has anyone had any luck with a kit kat rom? I liked Paranoid with the new notification drop down but the data/signal drops were to much for me. My phone would sometimes act like it was in airplane mode. Are there any kit kat roms with minimal data/signal drops?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Not sure but AOSP roms are notorious for bad signal. The RIL is "home made" in a way (not official for the carrier)so it doesn't ever work quite right...especially if you are in a fringe area. If you are in a strong signal area like in town its better but that is most of what kept me off of them...4g then 3g then no signal then back again. Thats just kinda how AOSP works unless on a google edition device....anyone correct me if im wrong.

On a side note I know PRDOG uses stock and hard codes mods into stock. I am not sure how hard it is to do that you would have to ask him how hard or easy it is to do that. .i would be interested to find out as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] acgr4me:
I would be interested as well, I would be willing to learn to do that.

Wasn't our phone going to get Kit Kat eventually? I thought we were on the list to get the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FireStorm8428:
I just wanted to thank all the devs of this and the the original sprint version for the great software I've enjoyed for easily the last year +. Also I want to thank you all for the tech support and your knowledge. Today however will be my last day with my old gs3 I just got a gn3. I will be trying to root and ROM it and if there is ever a moar for gn3 I'll be all over it! I just wanted to thank you all for keeping this beast of a phone going as long as it has.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Yeah we are supposed to. But being on Verizon we probably won't get it until android 8.0 comes out..lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
I'm not really looking for a solution just yet....more or less just trying to see if anyone else running the latest MOAR has experienced the following.... Whenever I toggle GPS on, in the battery stats built into Android you can see that it is staying stuck on, even though I've toggled it off. Anyone else have this happen? I also noticed that gsiff_daemon (in /system/bin) has a .bak added to the end of it out of the box...

Edit: Taking the .bak off of the end of gsiff_daemon solved it! Now GPS isn't stuck on! BTW....amazing job on this ROM guys! Thank you to all who contributed to this....it's very much appreciated!!!

I'm running MOAR 9.? in Rom Slot 1, if I want to unwind everything back to stock 4.3 ... no recovery total stock, would I need to Odin the stock Tar file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
If you are using safe strap I would ask in that thread but if you were rooted and unlocked before 4.3 you could get the tar and flash in Odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
i got bored with this phone and lost hope for development but i did decide to mess around and take the 4.4.2 OTA. not locked down after all. theres an updated version of safestrap that works after you use towelroot. rooted, safestrap, bloat removed. had a locked bootloader anyways so figured i had nothing to lose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wpgibson:
Thanks. Exactly what I did, safe strap with Moar in slot 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
That only works with safestrap though. For the people that are unlocked and not using safe strap it will lock you down permanently so be careful

yeah, thought i was clear when i said i had a locked bootloader already but yeah, this will lock anyone down that has an unlocked bootloader.
