can you post a copy to the forum?

to make a copy of your radio rom, do the following:

( you will lose all data on your device, and your sd-card, so make a backup first )

- make sure there is no sd-card in your device.

- boot your device into bootloader mode

( by holding down the big action button together with the power button,

and hard-resetting with the pen at the same time )

now the display should say 'serial' and the bootloader version.

- insert a blank sd-card

- put your device in it's cradle

- start 'mtty' ( see this page )

- select 'usb' in the mtty program.

- type the followint command into the mtty window

d2s 60000000 00300000

( this will write your radio rom to the sd-card )

- when it says it is done, remove the sd-card.

- hard-reset, and reinitialize your device.

- put it in the cradle again.

- insert the sd-card, answer 'no' to the do-you want to format question.

- use 'psdread' to copy the sdcard image to a file ( you type this command on a windows or dos command prompt )

psdread -3 0 0x300200 sdradio.img

see here for information on psdread.

Hi

I am on 4.1.2 right now.

I was not able to update through OTA so i used stock 4.1.2 and flashed through odin

I flashed cwm-touch-6.0.3.1-d2tmo through odin .. and rooted.

EDIT :

Tried with diff CWM same error

I am not able to post link here i have taken snap of my phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: error 7

Here is a sure way to fix your problem, there might be other ways too but they would all be more or less trial and error.

Follow the instructions below.

Here is the step by step guide:

After you have followed these instructions your phone will have the new T999 4.1.2 jellybean pre-rooted firmware

and you will have a clean fresh start with a phone that works properly to start with.

Download the stock-rooted Odin flash

T999_UVDMD5

Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.2 firmware.

After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the

file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file

Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14

Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)

Good Luck!

I want to know if it is gonna work for me too. I am on CM 10.1 RC2, i tried to update to the latest nightliest and i always got this error: assert failed getprop("ro.bootloader") ...

Is there another way to fix this i don't want to go back to zero and start all over again :(

Many thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: errors

This will work for you too, after you are done you will have a stock rooted T999 Jellybean 4.1.2 rom.

If you like the CM 10.1 rom which you have in the phone now you might want to make a nandroid

backup of it before doing anything else.

The process I described in my previous post will not delete any of your pictures, videos or music you

might have on your internal or external sdcard. I would suggest NOT flashing any CM10.1/AOSP/AOKP

or ported roms they are all experimental and are only worthwhile for developers or for those people who

like to do a lot of experimentation.

If you want a really excellent custom rom based on the T999 4.1.1 Jellybean firmware I would suggest that

you check out the Wicked v10 custom rom. It has a lot of features and options and themes not found in any

stock roms and it's about the best custom rom you will find here in XDA for your phone.

Here is a link to it if you want to check it out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804260

If you decide to flash any custom roms I would strongly suggest to first do the step by step in my previous post

before doing anything else.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
First of all, make sure that you redownload the ROM, check that the MD5's match, and that you are indeed on the latest CWM recovery.

Secondly, I've heard of these status 7 errors, even when on the latest CWM recovery. There's times when installing certain ROMs where these errors occur, which usually happens when the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing and this portion of the script are called “asserts”. with this it prevents you from accidentally flashing a ROM intended for a different model.

Normally you can fix the issue by installing TWRP recovery but there's another possible solution for this if the TWRP method or the methods mentioned above doesn't solve it, which SHOULD, but take some serious precaution. You need to be very careful and do this at your own risk.

Follow this step by step guide

http://highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-fix-status-7-error-with-cwm-recovery-on-rooted-android/

Following this will remove the asserts thus removing protection upon flashing the wrong ROM. Do if you choose to follow this make absolutely sure that the ROM you're flashing is for the T999.

Also, keep in mind that not all ROMs will allow you to do this so it's always important to keep your options open.

I want to know what assert is failing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] btd0890:
Heyy

I followed your step and my phone is rooted now.

What is the next step now.I think i will have to install recovery first and than flash whichever rom i want to install??

re: recovery

Here is the link for TWRP Touch Recovery: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1404381&d=1350325570

Flash it using ODIN in PDA slot just like you flashed the rom.

It's the best recovery you can find.

Then you can flash any cwm/twrp roms you like easily.

Good luck!

Cannot Flash Or Root T999 S3

Hello all,

I just installed 4.3 through OTA and was not happy with this long awaited update. I am a flash junky and have flashed many phones in the past. The problem I am having I cannot flash the root, it does accept it and reboot, however, when it boots up up it states super ushers in not working. I did manage to root once, but when I tried to install 10.2 cyan mod it failed. In addition I went back to Odin and tried to install the 4.1.2 stock rom and it read failed. My question is there a new root that needs to be installed to over rite the stock 4.3 rom. I did see a pop up come up that read this application has been blocked, I believe it is a new feature for the 4.3, which is Knox. I just want to put a custom rom, this new 4.3 official rom sucks..Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vigz:
Someone has to unlock the bootloader on 4.3. There are new algorithms that are preventing installations of custom roms. If I remember correctly, in order to root the phone on 4.3, download CF - Auto Root for SGH-T999 and flash it via Download Mode. Once it reboots, head to Google Play and update SuperSU. Open the app and hit yes when it tells you to update the su binary. The latest SuperSU works around the Knox security. The "application has been blocked" notification will still appear but will not affect SuperSU anymore. It's an annoying notification that can be disabled with another app called Terminal Emulator.

Type this onto the Terminal:

su

pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
There is already lots of info about knox and 4.3 in our forums. But if you're going to another rom, there's no reason to root first.

Flash cwm

Flash rom

Factory reset
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GAlex1699:
Root or no Root

Hello, thanks for the reply. So, if I want to flash a custom rom there is no need to root. I have also rooted before installing a custom rom. I am currently running 4.3 stock filmware, thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Thanks for the reply and information. I believe you are correct because as I mention in my post I was able to have root access, and I believed I updated super but did not realize I did. Finally, if I gain my root acces will I be able to flash my T999 S 3 using TRWP or Clockmod? Thank you again. :cowboy:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vigz:
When I tried to flash CyanogenMod 10.2 on the official 4.3 update with ClockworkMod, it just resulted in a ton of errors. The recovery wasn't able to flash the rom at all. I tried other custom roms and the same thing happened. It showed a bunch of letters and numbers along with the word, "bootloader". I'll copy the recovery log when I get the chance, my phone is unfortunately bricked :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GAlex1699:
Bricked S3

Did you create a back up? Also is a soft or hard brick. If it is soft brick you can use odin and download the official custom rom from here:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vigz:
It's a hard brick. There is a guide here on XDA that should unbrick it. I'm just waiting for my microSD card to get here.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Hellopeople:
Can anyone port PA 3.50 for optimus g e975?
[LG Optimus G (International)] wargreymon89:
I tried porting, doesn't seem to work. Needs to be built from source I think. Houstonn should be able to do it, he did Sprint version. I might try it later if not.
[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
Houstonn has a couple of test builds of ParanoidAndroid 3.50 with Halo (their multi-window thingy) enabled. You can find them via the download link in his RootBox thread (E973 sub-forum). Just look in the test-build folder on his downloads server.

In theory, they should work, as the E975 is close to the E971/E973 that it's built for.
[LG Optimus G (International)] wargreymon89:
Tried his sprint version on my E975, all but data works I think, not sure if you can change apn or something to fix it quick. With some luck he can support geehrc also or teach me or someone to do it ^^
[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
The builds I'm talking about are for the geeb aka E971/E973 aka Canadian GSM/HSPA/LTE versions with 8 MP camera. Not the wierdo Sprint version. These should (from what I've read) work on the E975 as well, as the hardware is virtually identical.

http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/canada/rb/test-builds

Edit: In that directory, there's also a separate kernel for the geehrc.
[LG Optimus G (International)] INVICTUS79:
Confirmed... The rom and the kernel works, including chadouming houcha kernel for the E975. (But be adwised, the pa geehrc kernel and the pa rom are only test´s) You can even use chadouming houcha kernel for E975, with houstonn´s Vanilla RootBox and perhaps a few other rom´s made for the E973 that i haven´t tested yet;)...

But you will only be able to use 8mp cam for now, as phoenix_rizzen mentioned before... If that´s of any importance.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
It all depends on your specific needs. I use RasSaber + franco.Kernel, but I can't say it's the best (I haven't tested every other ROM/Kernel combination) or if it'll be the best for you. I prefer minimal customizations with speed, but others want customization and speed, others just customization, etc.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowblade330:
Yea they are all great kernel, it is just a matter of finding what you feel is best for you. I mean I jump around between all three kernels of Trinity, KTmanta, and Franco love using them all and I bought their apps. Each one offer something different, but in the end it all depends on how it is for you. As for me I went back to KTmanta from Franco using CarbonRom. There is no best just what is good to you.

Problem Confirmative

Dear all,

I also experience CF card not recognizable from time to time. I can ensure you all that it has nothing to do with XScale or the battery being drained. From my observations, it's random.

BTW, upon my newbie experience, I think that the CF driver is hidden somewhere in the Startup directory cos' everytime it happens, the only cure to restore it is through the soft reset, however, I don't seem to have successfully spotted out where it's hidden. ANy comments on that would be appreciated

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
I'm amazed at how hit-and-miss people's reviews of stock 4.1.2 are. I'm running true stock - in that I'm using the odin package - and it's the fastest, and by far the most stable, JB ROM I've ever used on my Note -- and I've run the gauntlet with them. I simply used ES File Explorer to delete everything that at all looked like something from AT&T, and then I went into my running applications/services, and anything that I did not use, or thought I didn't use, I went into Titanium and froze. Now I'm always at ~300mb of free RAM and my battery rivals anything I've experienced -- even a drastically underclocked and volted ICS kernel.

I did, however, accidentally delete my calculator in the process. I get a little aggressive with my cleaning of things. On the bright side, I found a CM calculator port on the market which is prettier and gets the job done.
