Isn't this somewhat of an inconvenience for say regular users. I mean who wants to factory reset their phone every time Tmobile or Google pushes a firmware update ? Ahouldbt I just be able to update and get going with my day. ? BTW I'm referring to those who are running complete stock and not flashi ng updates to their ROMs. In that case I would recommembd factory wipe.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
Yes. Just mentioning what to do to avoid issues. Inconvenient or not, that's how you reduce/avoid issues with new firmwares for the time being.

Rooting after 4.1.2 update?

So, I've recently updated my T-Mobile S3 to this 4.1.2 ota update. I've rooted once or twice before, but I've never flashed a ROM before. I've been wanting to root and install Carbon ROM on my S3 via Goo Manager, meaning I have to root again. Is there a tutorial out there for rooting after the T-Mobile 4.1.2 update? Do I just follow a same guide for when it was on 4.1.1? Is there anything special to do now? Please, I'd be grateful for any help.

Forgive me if this seems like a silly question, btw.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
I agree. Wasnt trying to sound rude. If my phone continues to lag, id factory reset. Just hate having to reinstall all my apps and lose texts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 1slow4G:
Exactly, but this lag is freaking annoying

No lag at all and excellent battery life when paired with the latest faux kernel, 19m. Turn off entropy and the phone literally flies. And use greenify, tames maps and search from eating battery. Do this, and you will be content ...maybe ;)

So, has anyone else's weather widget not worked since the update? What is not working is it will not get an update. The widget itself still shows the last update I got was 5/10, and when I click update, it shows the refresh symbol for about a minute, then stops without updating. If I click the widget, it is still showing the last cache info, and will not update within there either.

After the update, every time I reboot my phone, it goes back to Samsung keyboard even though I have the default set to Swype keyboard.

Anyone have the same issue?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tamasrepus:
Not a silly question at all!

I was rooted on 4.1.1 but Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper failed for me (kept crashing when trying to restore)—I had no longer had root after the OTA update and had to figure out how to re-root again.

Many of the older Galaxy S3 exploits (including the one that used ext4's debugfs tool) unfortunately no longer work. However, the motochopper root for the Galaxy S4 did. Try that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Or just flash recovery through Odin? Seems like less hassle.

Some people would like to keep their phone as stock as possible (I'm personally proud my flash counter is at 0 w/out having needed anything like Triangle Away).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Does anyone else feel this way?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tamasrepus:
I've the same problem. Any ideas on workarounds? (other than "don't use SwiftKey". yeah, great idea guys)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
It's a problem with all keyboards. You need to disable the stock Android keyboard. You will need root to do this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
I'm completely stock also. Haven't really found a ROM I consider dd. I'd like a stock android look and function but if everything works 100%. Reading the threads makes me discouraged. And I'd rather not root just to flash a tw ROM that can do just want my stock ROM does. I mean even if its optimized there are features I just don't care about.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brad0112358:
OTA update still available?

Since there are only a few reports of anoyances, I thought I would try the update.

After taking the necesary steps (via triangle-away) to return my Device status to "Normal", clicking on software update briefly shows "Connecting to server" then declares "The device is up to date". But my Android version shows 4.1.1. Did T-Mobile stop providing OTA updates to 4.1.2 for some reason or have I missed something? Has anyone done an OTA update today?

Thanks,

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daygeee:
Please, I installed CM 9, then CM 10 on my P5100 but screen auto rotate does not work. I have tried enabling auto rotate in settings and also tried with and without a custom launcher (Apex launcher) to see if enabling auto rotate in the launcher would be of any help. All have failed. Auto rotate on the Stock ROM works fine. I want to know if this is peculiar to cyanogen mods or maybe I am getting something wrong. I love CM 10.1. Would also welcome suggestions about other ROMs that might not have this problem. Thank you.

Irulu AL101: No Sound, Dicky Auto-Rotate

Greetings.

I had reached a point of near Android-Nirvana with my non-phone 10” off brand (but still pretty nifty) tablet: all of its/my issues had been resolved or accommodated and “we” were actually approaching something akin to productivity. Then, of course, things went bad. Perhaps you can help?

The tablet in question:

Model Number:	IRULU AL101

(Currently selling for ~$120 with combo USB keyboard/case & shipping included on ebay, though I bought mine months ago)

Android Version:	4.0.4

Baseband Version:	1.5rc4

Kernel Version:	3.0.8+, Nov 5, 2012

Build Number:	crane_al101-eng4.0.4 IMM76D, 20121113 test-keys

The problems:

Auto-Rotate acting oddly.

No sound.

Note: I normally use the tablet in a noisy industrial environment while wearing ear plugs, so I can’t be sure if the sound stopped working the same time the auto-rotate stopped working properly. Earlier this April, I went on a trip and used my tablet as an Internet clock radio, so I KNOW the sound and I THINK the auto-rotate were both working properly then.

The no sound problem is, of course, self explanatory. The auto-rotate problem requires some explanation.

a. When I switch auto-rotate on, auto-rotate switches on. Excellent.

b. When I rotate the tablet, the screen rotates properly. Excellent.

c. If I suspend the tablet (short press on the power switch), the tablet suspend. Excellent.

d. If I turn the tablet back on, the tablet turns on. I am greeted with the tablet locked screen, which rotates properly. Excellent.

e. If I unlock the device, the screen instantly rotates back to the normal landscape position, and the screen will not rotate again. Not excellent.

f. If I inspect the settings, I discover that auto-rotate has become unchecked.

I have done everything a clueless newbie with a computer running a slipshod OS supported by crappie/nonexistent documentation might (e.g., reboot; remove apps; “factory reset”, etc.), but, other than wasting my time and engendering in myself a deep longing for ZDS DOS & CP/M-86, I have accomplished nothing.

Other than taking myself and my tablet to one of Google’s campi and immolating us both in protest, can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks in advance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bert111a:
Did you ever solve this problem with this tablet? Mine just started doing it. The only other thing I noticed is that the sound will start up if the screen is off, but only once it starts a new music track. Also video playback problems at the same time. I just wondered if you were able to.solve your issue without a factory reset or with a reset. Thankyou for your time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monsieur Declasse:
Dear Bert,

I’m sorry (for both of us), but I never did solve the problem. I went as far as trying to reinitialize the tablet, but the feature that back’s up and restores the firmware (or whatever it’s called) doesn’t work on any Irulu tablet I’ve ever tried (which is two or three).

I eventually just bought another one (and a few spares). I certainly can’t prove anything, but I think installing an app might have corrupted it. I have treated my new tablet like a Windoze computer — i.e., I’ve tried to avoid installing software that can be done without — and thus far all is okay with the replacement unit.

If you have any success, do report back when you have a chance.

Good luck!

MD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bert111a:
Well I have the firmware tools from the board manufacturer, I had recovered this unit from being bricked before. Anyway I loaded a full fresh firmware flash for it formatting the system partition as well. The problem still persists. At the moment my current working theory is power issues internally. For some reason when the screen turns off the sound will return. So I in hooked the backlight and got some static over the speakers. Its almost as if the power is being drained from the sound processor and the tilt sensor causing them to stop functioning. It could also be an issue similar to the trod on xboxes, solder joints under CPU coming undone because of heat. No heatsink or heat spreader on these units. If I can't figure anything else out I may try reflowing the solder. The person this tablet came from lost all paperwork that came with it otherwise I would return it.

If you want recovery mode instructions, firmware and firmware tools let me know. Most of the info I found to help me get that unit back online before was in Chinese. Also Hecate what you do install app wise. These tablets are "rooted" with full system access. Easy to mess up the basic software. These tools should work with all of the irulu tablets. Worst case I do have access to the firmware archive and can get the firmware you might need.

Sorry for rambling here, I have ADHD can you tell. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monsieur Declasse:
Dear Bert,

Thanks for the feedback.

At the time this problem appeared, I made some fairly extensive efforts to restore the tablet, which included obtaining the Chinese utility which is supposed to reformat the tablets internal memory and reinstall the operating system. I confess that I can’t recall all the details of what I did, except that my efforts resulted in a broad and impressive variety of failures.

I think I might still have the software/etc. lying about, so I don’t need to avail myself of your very generous offer. Thanks anyway!

Fortunately, other than this issue, I’ve had no trouble with the tablets (the original or its replacement) whatsoever.

Cordially,

MD

I've been searching for a while now, and it's a little confusing as to what to do to return to stock.

Need to install factory rom without root.

Install factory recovery

Relock bootloader.

Correct?

Does anyone have a link to a factory rom that doesn't have root? Or one that can easily have root removed?

Hi,

I was upgrading the software upgarde on my device. I successfully upgraded the Pocket PC software on the O2 XDA, but when I tried to upgrade the GSM radio/GPRS software of the O2 XDa, it gave some error and after this my device is not starting at all. The only mistake I did was that "I did not remove the SIM card before upgrading the GSM radio/GPRS software" The device does not start even after cold booting the same. When I start the device, the O2 screen comes and after a quite long time the main window does come but I cannot do anything. I tried to tap on contacts, time, tasks but nothing happens. I can see the windows logo wall paper but cannot do anything. Please help on how I can restore back my O2 as a cold reset also does not work. :?

Hi Rudegar,

I tried the procedure given by you. I was able to write to the flash successfully. After writing to the flash it gave a message "Checksum OK, Please cold reboot to reset".

I did a cold reboot. After starting the O2, it showed the O2 logo screen and after quite a long time, it asked me wether I want to format the SD card or not. After that it took me to the default screen of XDA wher eit showed options like "Add today's date, Contacts, Schedule etc etc. but upon tapping any of the options the O2 behaves erratically. If I tap on today's date it takes me somewhere else. Inshort it does not work.

I again did a cold reboot and now the device is in its original position i.e not going after the O2 logo where it gets stuck up.

One thing I would like to mention is that all these activities have been done putting the O2 on the cardle only as the battery is totally discharged and the device turns on only after putting it on cradle. Even after the cold reboot it does not start unless I put it on the cradle whichis connected to the mains. Is it Ok with this or am I doing something wrong? The battery does not charge and hence I have to do it in this way.

Please suggest what wrong am I doing? Any suggestions from anyone will be welcome.

Hi,

Someone posted the original O2 ROM on this site and I downloaded the same after which I was partially succesful in flashing the ROM and reviving my dead O2 back to half life. :roll:

I burned the ROM on

to my SD Card and flashed the ROM on to my O2. After

successfully flashing the ROM I rebooted the device.

The device now starts Windows but it takes atleast 15

minutes to start. I get the today screen. WHen I cick

on start the start menu appears after a delay of 10

seconds and all applications run normal, however all

this happens only on the Cradle only.

When I go into the Battery Settings it shows "Battery

Status Unknown".

Also none of the phone functions work. The SIM card is

not recognized and in device information it does

dispaly the "IMEI number" and the "Protocl Version"

I am only able to use inbuilt phone applications.

Is there some problem with my battery cause it is not

charging even on the cradle.

Device Information does not show Radio Version, Protocl Version & IMEI number at all.

Can anyone please help me? :cry:

hello all,

it means that your radio stack are dead. Currently, We don't have any real method to fix this problem. When the radio stack is error, you can not upgrade it or do anything to make it work. We can only upgrade or downgrade the radio stack if it works. Also if you try to upgrade the radio stack, we realy need to flash the chip using a speceial tool or need the sd card which build in radio stack with we can only flash in bootloaading mode. Howerver, in some case, we can fix it but .... I think it is just lucky or the xda error when battery problem.... in this case, just disconnect the battery few minutes and connect it again by pressing the battery hole.

Regards,

Hoanghon

p.s. I have dead xda. I killed it when I upgraded the RADIO STACK. Therefore, if you are really need to upgrade the radio stack, I recommend use the official upgrade for secuirity. or just upgrade the rom only.

Note:

To eliminating the error, you need to upgrade the rom or the radio stack, you need to check if the rom fix the radio stack or the stack you are trying to upgrade it fix the rom or not.(ie, Tmobile Rom have to use it radio stack built for Tmobile pocket pc...... I know that in some case when we mix between the radio stack and OS it works but I don't think it work propertly. Anyhow the mixing bettween radio stack and OS is very dangerous if it doesn't suppport then you have to reflash the radio stack or rom(the OS is Okay but the keep upgrading the radio stack may cause the radio stack killed)
