[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamthemandroid:
I followed a tutorial to successfully root my phone in the past, but I need to do it again and want to understand it a bit better this time. (I'm doing it using command-line heimdall from Ubuntu.) Doing "sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot", the tutorial provided a recovery.img which went on to install CWM. Then from within the rooted phone I installed another custom recovery. But do I need to do this as a 2-step process like this, or can I simply for the first time on an UNrooted phone do "sudo heimdall flash --recovery SOME-OTHER-RECOVERY.img --no-reboot"?

The tutorial also provided a CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip. What's actually the purpose of this, and do I even need it?

It also came with an s3pit.pit, but I didn't actually do anything with this. Did the 'heimdall' command that I ran do something with this, or is it safe to do the rooting process without it?

I'm asking because I'd like to root my phone not blindly following one tutorial which provided its own files (http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-linuxubuntu/). Surprisingly there are no other decent tutorials out there on rooting this phone from Ubuntu, any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can flash any compatible recovery in step 1. I see no reason to flash something you don't need. I recommend philz recovery (link in signature) but twrp is good. I would stay away from cwm as its not great if you want to go to 4.2 android roms

Having a recovery is one thing but actually you're still not rooted. You need recovery to flash a zip which will give you root. Unless you just want to flash a custom rom, in which case you only need the recovery and can skip flashing root stuff
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamthemandroid:
I wasn't aware of these distinctions, thanks. What alternative zips that give me root could you recommend? I would rather use one that is on xda-developers rather than on a blog post on some random website. Does it need to be compatible with the recovery, or would any 'root zip' meant for the i9300 work?

So is it possible to root the stock default ROM by just flashing a root zip using the stock recovery? Or is a custom recovery needed for this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Roots are in Development section as said CWM is rather out of date now .

Both TWRP and Philz work well .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamthemandroid:
I think I have misunderstood. In the first response it said "You need recovery to flash a zip which will give you root", which I assumed was the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip" I mentioned in the original post. I'm wondering about alternatives for this zip, not for the recovery (for the recovery I'll use Philz or TWRP as has been suggested).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You don't need an alternative. It contains 2 things. The su binary (what gives you root) and the super user app (a graphical "gatekeeper" to root). If you're applying root to a handset, you'll be using these things
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wahaha123:
Hey guys! Soo i have been using Nexus 4 for about 2 months now, aand I have been in reach with both my cousins s4&note2 ive played with them and i found the note's multi-screen and pop up feature useful. Well i dont like having to download on 3rd party on google, well either its buggy of i'd have to buy go use all the features.... So i'd want to request if it were possible to port the features, if we can, add in the new apps and features the S4 has as well. Thank you to people who would help and i apologize to those who would find this post annoying. Again, thanks in advance

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4c:
So I was watching a YouTube video on my phone yesterday when all of a sudden the screen went off? The screen never goes off when streaming a video so I pushed the power button and got nothing, tried again and again...still nothing. Pressed down the power button for about 15 seconds and the phone restarts, upon getting to my lock screen the time and date where set as 0100 on the 02/05/1970???

I had to factory reset just to make sure the problem was removed. Just wondering has any one else seen or had this issue?

Why no one ports the ViperS JB rom from sensation? We wholud have sense 4.1 an JB together!
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
Disable face detection in camera settings to get rid of camera FCs
[HTC EVO 3D] fdavila17:
That would be great but sounds like too much lol
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCLittleMonster:
I believe it's because of the kernel differences. The EVO 3D and Sense 4+, that comes with Jellybean don't mix and if you're S-On, with the stock HBOOT, flashing is difficult. Sense 4.1 seems to be as far as we can fully go with no bugs right now.

I've found that if I flash Viper 3D and then decide to flash a rooted stock ROM with Leedroid tweaks for ICS, or something, 4EXT SmartFlash doesn't kick in and it continues to bootloop. I've even enabled it manually to get it to work, but it still doesn't - does anyone have any idea why it does this? I have the RUU saved to my desktop just in case, but it shouldn't not work.
[HTC EVO 3D] bugerman:
i had same problem.solved by adb push boot.img,you can find it in zip of rom you are trying to install!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizer:
OK, Im looking to stream films from my pc to the S4. I spent several hours trying all sorts of apps last night, some worked some didnt but none did exactly what I wanted.

I would like a way to stream films but as the kids also stream their kids films to the xbox I need something that allows me to stream ALL films but the kids only the kids films.

On the iphone I used Airplay which had passwords set for the films I deemed inappropriate for children, the only way they could be accessed from the xbox/ipads/iphone etc... was if a password was entered but all the other films they had full access to.

So, is there some set up like this that anyone knows off that works with all of the different devices (Xbox/iphone/ipad/S4)

Another question can I get the mini apps in cm?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joancolmenares:
Hello all... After reading some threads I felt like I needed to start my own to clarify some things...

I have a friend who has a Galaxy SII (I9100) and she had some trouble with it...

SHe mentioned that her phone started acting erratic, freezing and saying that she didnt have enough memory (she only had 10 apps downloaded after a restore) and suddenly the phone restarted and a message saying that encription had failed. since I'm the one who fixes phones at work (from blackberry to iphone) she asked me if I could fix it.

The phone had pretty much like 80% batt left so I did what every mortal with a bit of knowledge would do... READ! I searched and the solution was to flash it with a newer firmware. I got the latest from SAMMOBILE and proceeded... For the record, the phone could get into recovery but recovery was messed up saying that a bunch of files were corrupt. I tried wiping and it showed an error message, so I proceeded to put it in download mode and set ODIN. Everything was going great... phone was detected,.. the process started.. Halfway through Odin FAILED... I restarted the phone and it didnt do anything... (crapping my pants started then...)

I started reading again (remembering the famous SDS on s3) and in different forums said that possibly some s2 came with the sds flaw and that that might have been my case. however, I always try to get more opions...

I tried using a USB JIG (which worked beautifully in other s2's that I have fixed) to no luck... With the battery in, the phone gets warm around the camera, but the usb jig doesnt do a thing...

So, I'm torn in two... My friend says that she thinks that the USB port was not working properly (she forgot to mention that at first) and sometimes it would appear af it nothing was connected and she had to jiggle the conector. I'm taking the phone to a service center tomorrow to check the port, but that is a pricey thing here in Venezuela... My second option is to sell it for spare parts...

Can I hear your opinions? Is it really hard bricked? Is it SDS?

I don't know which firmware it was running, and my friend doesnt know... my best guess is 2.3 since it's the one it came with and she never updated...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Is she hot?

It seems that she was on 4.0.4, so yeah, bricked because of the wipes.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joancolmenares:
ok... I assume it's bricked... but is it unbrickable?

Kinda...yeah; you'll need a mobo change.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Lol no, if it's because of the emmc brick bug then, maybe if you can still access recovery some repartition techniques might work but still don't get your hopes up, but if you have a faulty port then it will further worsen your situation.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
It all points to brick bug, never wipe on 4.0.4 (nor back up/restore).

She can claim warranty, samsung is to blame for this bug

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joancolmenares:
Well.. warranty will not work... the phone is like 2 years old and in our country this doesnt work for impored phones... it was not bought from a carrier.

Hi,

So i have a Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V and its on CM9. So my question is what is a modem cause i've heard flashing a modem......

Basically can you let me know what a modem will do and what the best modem is for my SGH-T959V on Cyanogenmod 9:) (PS: I live in a 4G area if that has anything to do with it)

Thank You!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
A modem controls your phone's access to... everything outside the phone. What's the best modem? Depends on your specific phone. My SGS4G phone behaves different from my wife's SGS4G, even though we got them from the same store on the same day.

Doesn't seem like much of an error to me. Except the fact it skips one of the sd's.

Well, report the results after updating CWM indeed.

But I think you're fine as long as you dont clean your external sd and internal storage (although it might lose it's connections to the apps installed on external SD). Or perhaps make a back-up of them to your PC.

Looking for a good shell. From what i've seen, GO launcher is the one i like most. also, it comes with dialer, sms, etc. Everything looks very nice. Another option is to flash this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2126053, but then I'll be stick to TouchWiz, so i don't like it very much.

As for task manager, Go package includes a memory manager/task killer, also Advanced Task Manager is not bad ....

Can you experienced guys please suggest me good shell, task manager and 'must-have' software for my android leo?

thanks to all
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Shaumaaa:
Well, I use Nova Prime here, but you can download TSF Shell. It is really good. For the task manager, you can use Clean Master(cleans cache and history also). Must have apps for me are Dolphin Browser, Opera Mini(for saving MB), Google Keep, Translate, Rom Toolbox, Market Helper, Titanium Backup, etc.

I suggest you to install NexusHD2 Jellybean(4.2.2). Really good one.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] BesoC:
First of all, thanks for suggestions :)

TSF is really great, but something tells me that it will drain battery dry in several hours :p Besides, market tells me that both TSF and Nova are incompatible with HD2. How did you managed to install Nova?

I do have NexusHD 4.2.2 :)

Same with Rom Toolbox. I even installed market helper to change country and device. Info changed, but market still treats my device as incompatible :(

P.S. Found a way to cheat market's security :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Shaumaaa:
You're welcome! Well, Rom Toolbox is "Pro" one, Nova is "Prime" and TSF, well, its TSF. :D

I downloaded every mentioned paid app from Google, they are all cracked. I can't buy apps in Serbia.

None taken. You said you noticed it on stock roms. So I assumed you don't try any custom roms. But it surely is not because of root method cause I don't have any slowdown/lag issue at all after using custom rom. On stock yes..after a while it will slow down but on custom none at all.
