for those experiencing random reboots

This came up in the d2spr thread: https://plus.google.com/104277415207525128383/posts/iAVpVPYqMtM

tl;dr version

I haven't been experiencing random reboots, so i haven't tried it...but i thought the info might be of help to those of you who are...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
Why is Google Talk not included in the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
ok so i flashed and loaded this up.

1 - continuous fc of AOSP keyboard

2 - Gapps would not fully take. some apps would work, some wouldnt

3 - screen flicker was pretty strong

i flashed an older AOSP to fit the ROM and things just went mad on the device..couldnt get past the startup screen and pixelation was distorted.

i tried..but i dont think MIUI wants to be loaded on my GS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
Be sure to do a full wipe. As far as gapps goes. Are you installing them with the ROM? They're already per built so if you are don't and for the screen flicker. Go I to dev options and disable hw overlays

Sent from my MIUI powered S3 thanks to StrumerJohn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
Here is the Flashable Google Talk app for those wanting it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
i did a COMPLETE wipe.

system / data / cache's. formatted everything including internal SD

i did the HW overlays fix..still was persistent

its whatever. ill tinker some more later see what i can come up with.

thanks tho

anyone know if this build is still unable to send text messages?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AvatarOfFrost:
people are saying that sms works, it's just sending mms that is broken. receiving mms works as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyoung38:
gottcha!! Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiwong20:
its not kernel related. if u look at the status section in settings/about/status it doesn't reconginize your phone number or MIN, it is is related to the system being able to read are MDN

there is a way to get mms. you will need to edit the apn-conf.xml file.

Change all the mmsc lines for the verizon apns to:

mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=XXXXXXXXXX"

replace the X's after the equal sign with your phone number. save and reboot.

it is alot of editing u need to use root explorer or rom toolbox to edit apn-conf.xml in system/etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyoung38:
sounds like a plan thanks --- im gonna have to come back to that tho....for some reason im getting zero service at all...went back and restored my last back up twice....service and data just fine...and this is before and after the 4g fix...not sure what it is but i know ive had issues with miui coming from certin roms, gonna tinker some
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrowa2:
That's been happening to me too. I had to flash a stock TW ROM, go into mobile settings, click CDMA/LTE/Auto under the mobile data mode, to get my signal back. Even after this, flashing back to MIUI V5, I would get no signal. The only way to go back to normal for me was to restore one of my backups of liquid smooth, and then flash to MIUI V5, only to lose data once again when I start fiddling around with the settings. Think I'm going to stick with liquid smooth for a while until this is more polished. Thanks for all the work devs!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] xxxxchrisxxxx:
I am looking to theme my stock SMS bubbles to different colours other than those available.

I have searched everywhere and cannot find any collection of themes for this.

I am running edgarf28's XperianZE Rom.

Can anyone offer any help with this...?

I did particularly love the red and grey of the MIUI theme for the S3 but that theme isn't compatible with my current ROM version...

If possible, I'd like to just theme the SMS (stock).

Please don't point me towards GoSMS etc.... I don't want to install a third party SMS app.

Thanks for any help.

you need to know about to:

1- How to decompile and editing System apk files. i suggest you to read the manuals about the APK MULTITOOL. (google it)

2- How to edit 9.png files

-------------------

you need to edit : System/app/SecMms.apk

when you decompile it, goto SecMms.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi folder

you can find the 9.png files that started by message_bubble***.9.png names.

edit them, and recompile SecMms.apk

copy edited SecMms.apk file into system/app folder on your phone.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] xxxxchrisxxxx:
Thanks for the advice.. looks a little tricky for a beginner.

Is it possible for me to somehow take the SecMms.apk file from another rom and drop it into my SecMms.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi folder?

Also, if i can do this.. do i need any particular file browser etc to access that folder? Can this be done post Rom install, or does this all need to be done within the flashable rom zip file prior to flashing?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bluepratham:
there is no path secmms.apk/res/x/x

first u need to decompile ur secmms.apk

u can do it after installation also..no problem in that..replace secmms.apk directly, if u have another secmms.apk with those colored bubbles u want
[HTC Droid DNA] RBThompsonV:
OK!!! So, I was going to wait until the morning to write this.. but I figure... eh, it's sort of fresh in my noggin'

In my search for the purchase of a RIFF box, I stumbled across an amazing tinker in Philly... His name is Oleg. And since he offered his Riff to me for no charge, just the experience of the DNA... I offer our experience to you.. at no charge...

Mind you... we had NO clue as to how to actually go about rooting a post 2.04 DNA... but, we got there...

MOST of these steps are probably redundant and/or totally not needed... but... From start to finish (to the best of my recollection, and deffinitely including all of the important parts....

1)disassemble your phone (youtube it)

2) and this is important... if this is your first DNA... dont expect it to go back together like it is mint (We managed to save the void sticker, and completely assemble the phone without a hitch... but broke a tab on disassemble.. so, as of now, the bottom left hand side "clicks" if squeezed, and I think there's a "chunk" under the back plate (Small dot on bottom right of screen after assembly... either plastic piece or over tightened screw)

3) wire up your riff box

4/5/6 (This is in order.. but I dont know for sure what step was the "magic one":

4)REINCARNATE your DNA

5) Full Boot

6) Change CID from VZW_001 to 22222222 (In my opinion, this was the key to doing everything... as we had some steps in between 5 and 6... but showed no success)

7) (again, I dont think this helped.. but we tried.. and failed... ) attempt Facepalm S-Off

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155069

(again, DID NOT WORK FOR US!!)

8)Attempt Bootloader Unlock as per:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2109862

(Your CID SHOULD read 22222222 since you set it with the JTAG)...

When you readcid... I promise, you get a little bit of a rush...

9) Finish the rest in HTCDev (If you dont have an account and/or they're being slow... feel free to PM me (Or PM me in advance, and Ill donate my cell phone number to you so you can text me)...

10) if you followed HTCDev and put in your token, they sent you an unlock token.. once flashed, you will have an unlocked bootloader

11) (I couldnt remember how to flash a custom recovery from within the phone)... so: Fastboot Flash recovery "Nameofyourrecoveryfile"

BAM!!! UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!!!!

As for "you dont trust me taking your phone apart... well, man up and take your own damned phone apart indiferenc ...YES: You're blacklisted for sort of, in a roundabout way, being a douche)...

(Im sure Ill edit this post tomorrow when Im less tired, and it isnt 3am.. and there is no alcohol in my system)

Until then.. KNOW that it IS possible to do, with little pain and suffering... the biggest thing you need are a set of balls to do it.. the most expensive (other than the phone) is the riff box... and you NEED to know how to solder (pads are a little more than 1mmx2mm)
[HTC Droid DNA] RBThompsonV:
Sorry, all I have at my disposal right now is the ****ty webcam built in to my laptop... But:
[HTC Droid DNA] LakerStar25:
I think the reason you weren't successful in s-offing was because you can't do it without the bootloader being unlocked first. I'm sure if you did step 8 first then step 7 it would have worked. I'm sure if you try to s-off now it will work.

Sent from my 5 Senses of DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] RBThompsonV:
Actually, we did try it after the fact... and from shell, it looked like it worked.. but when we rebooted bootloader... S was still ON...

Installing Hatka now to tinker with a new ROM :)

Will try S-Offing again in the morning
[HTC Droid DNA] michael8780:
What error where you getting when trying to s-off error 99? I had gotten 99 and it took me doing a factory reset wipe all data and then doing 4 full power downs then did s off and I got the correct error 92 ( which your supposed to get ) and it worked like a charm
[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
Wow. Didn't realize my douchy question had you so distraught, enough to personally black list me in your OP. I feel special :) I just thought that if I'm to ship my phone across the country to someone to rip it apart and jtag it( who is not a professional with any credibility ), that I might inquire on the skills this person has doing just that. And apparently, you don't have ANY experience and that my concern was not so unwarranted. Wasn't really going to send it out anyway :) gl
[HTC Droid DNA] Grimmity:
Any pictures of the soldering and the process in general?
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
Any pinouts?
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
I bet it wad the 9pin EJTAG config.
[HTC Droid DNA] RBThompsonV:
Sorry, thought I commented yesterday on this...

It's a 10 pin configuration (if I remember 9 actual solder points and 1 ground clip)

the pics are on the RIFF box software
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Always a grnd myfriend. Good show!
[HTC Droid DNA] enzyne:
hey RBThompsonV i sent you a pm.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bujjet:
S-OFF Achieved?

[MENTION=404007]RBThompsonV[/MENTION] - awesome thread and thank you for posting. Any chance you were able to achieve S-OFF w/ your Riff Box technique?

EDIT - Also, I don't have the Riff Box or it's software but was wondering if there was a link available for the DNA pin connections? I am sort-of new to soldering and wonder how difficult it would be to reach/solder all the connection points (or for someone else with better soldering experience than I have).

I guess in other words, is this a soldering job for an absolute professional or can someone with average soldering skills accomplish this?
[HTC Droid DNA] RBThompsonV:
Yes, my phone is S-off through the JTAG method...

Not sure about a pic of the DNA jtag points... but it's a 9 pin with ground connection like any jtag pad...

I wouldnt recommend just anyone do the jtag... But, generally, if they have a Riff box.. they're probably a pro anyway :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muneer khan:
My Gnex which is 3 months old stuck at boot animation twice in 3 months. first time it was on 4.0.1 ICS and now on 4.1.1 Jelly bean both stock. on the both occasions i did factory reset and lost all my important data. Is this an hardware issue? because i got the problem after turning the bluetooth on for sending the photos on both the occasions.

What is the best thing to do so that my data is safe when next time this situation comes.

I came to know that with usb debugging on we can backup the data even in the boot loop. is it true? and can i keep the usb debugging option always ON on my Gnex.

If this is an software issue then it is very sad since it is coming from the stock android and on the nexus line.

Today 22/5/2013

Again Gnex stuck on bootloop, this time i got the problem, whenever i switch on bluetooth on the phone to connect it with my laptop, it is going into the bootloop, on the previous two occasions, it got stuck when i was trying to transfer through bluetooth though only with laptop, it works fine with other phones.

Is this a hardware problem or software problem, Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tritonesub:
Nowhere near enough info for anyone to help. Was this after you flashed a rom? What gnex variant do you have?

Sent from my Mahjong Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
Best thing to do is root your nexus. Get on the latest update. Another thing you could do is backup your sdcard to your PC using adb or any other means. Or use a cloud service to backup your data.

If you can get into recovery then you should be able to adb pull your data. I usually leave debugging on but not sure how safe it is.

Scent from my bud
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
You might want to look into hak5.org's tutorial by the koz on how a phone with debugging always enabled is open to some exploits. Though, that comes with the territory. I'd reflash the system.img. To keep the data safe, backup often. You may be able to pull it if needed, and adb backup, but you'd need a custom recovery first. Which means root or unlocked bootloader, which comes with a data wipe. Could it be the bluetooth device with which the phone is interacting? Or do you have the issue as soon as you make the phone visible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muneer khan:
I have a mangru stock Gnex yakjujp build. i had this problem when the phone was in 4.0.1 ics and 4.1.1 jelly bean both stock. never flashed or rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muneer khan:
Thankyou for your response.

second time when my phone stuck was on latest installed jelly bean OTA 4.1.1. I lost everyting important photos, temple run statistics and other games statistics.

please post the link or steps to install adb and adb pull data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muneer khan:
Thankyou for your response.

on both the occasions as soon as i selected the photos and send via bluetooth the phone got stock, dont know wheather this is a hardware problem or software problem. i transfered the many photos like this but on the two occasions i got the problem.

Question about number 8

I recently had to revert back to stock and mistakenly chose the root66 4.1.1 rom. I'd really like to get to VRAMC3 because i can't seem to get my bootloader unlocked (trying to get into recovery brings me to a not custom recovery) and I would like to get to the VRAMC3 4.1.2 ROM. Being on the root66 rom means that I'm rooted but i dont' think my bootloader is unlocked. would placing the recovery file on the root of my sd card mentioned in the OP help my situation or hurt it?
