I give you kudos for searching at least one sub-forum.

But you lose 20 demerits for failing to do a simple "bootloader" search from the forum tree (it was the first hit in the results).

Hello! I need help!

I flashed a rom yesterday and I backed up my rom before flashing. Today I was trying to restore my backup and the system did not find it. I can see it using Astro file manager under clockworkmod and backups. But on recovery it won't show. And the recovery shows three backups that I don't remember doing but two out of the three are not accesible. Please, if you can tell me how to make clockworkmod see my backup. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
Did you backup to the internal drive or external sd card. Try going to your backup and restore then click the restore from external sd card to see if it is possibly there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sergioosvaldo1:
I don't have an SD card. It was saved on my internal drive. I tried to but it says I can't because there is no Sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
Did you format your internal drive before you tried restoring the backup. Usually my cwm just populates the ones I have done or if I want to pull one of the ones on my sd card I can. I will try moving my backup and see if I can replicate the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sergioosvaldo1:
no I didn't I'll try to move it to an sd card and see what happens
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
I moved my backup to another folder and cwm did not find it. I'm not sure if you possibly moved it from the clockwork folder or not. I hope you figure it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
If you are still having problems try going into rom manager app. Should have a manage and restore option. From there it should have a list of your backups and will let you restore from one of those.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Another thing to try is to make sure your recovery is current and up to date. That same thing happened to me (with TWRP) and it turned out it was due to me flashing a 4.2 rom (which changes the file structure of your sd) and having an older recovery that didn't support it.

Hey guys, hope im posting this in the right place, I have just upgraded to the galaxy s3 and absolutely love it. I just got it rooted which is the first cell/tablet ive had rooted lol I did this to be able to really unleash it to run faster (main purpose) and among other things that come along the way, the possibilities seem endless! Im just a little stumped on this, I need to get SetCPU downloaded (been doing research and have yet to do it) but what im wondering is, is with the stock kernel is it possible to overclock it? or is a new kernel needed? Ive seen many different answers and just want to make sure before going about it since it is my first root. ive been looking stuff up for a few days now and have a pretty good idea what to do, but more advice wouldnt hurt!

Thanks in advanced guys

Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
I think you need to have a kernel that will allow you to overclock. Are you planning on flashing a custom rom?

Also, as a first timer, make sure you always have a nandroid backup before doing anything. It'll save you a lot of trouble as you explore root abilities.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hawkaholic2014:
ok thats what i thought about the kernel, any opinion on which one would work the best? ive been reading on the flashing and still some what lost on the whole process, but plan on looking into it more before jumping into it...

also i planned on installing titanium backup as well, is this what you mean as a nandroid backup? sorry for all the noob questions lol

thanks alot!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
There are a lot of kernels out there and it's best to just research thoroughly. Flashing a custom rom is essentially replacing your current stock rom with another custom built rom. YouTube helped me a lot when I first started with the rooted scene.

Here's one you can start with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuELTbfrH_U&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Titanium backup allows you to back up all your apps which is useful if you plan on switching roms. You can restore all your apps to the new rom via titanium backup. Just make sure you don't backup system apps because it may not be compatible with the new rom. Only user apps. By nandroid backup, I mean backing up your entire phone. The app I linked below is nandroid and it uses your recovery to create a backup while allowing you to use your phone in the process. Normally you'd back up via recovery such as cwm by pressing power+home+volume up and it'd make your phone useless until the backup is done and you reboot. Nandroid backup is like titanium backup but it backs up every single thing. If you were to switch to a new s3 with the same specs, you can root your phone and restore your nandroid backup. It'll install everything in the same order and set up as your previous phone. Because it backs up everything, it is a fail safe that allows you to restore back to a point in time before you screw anything up, which makes it important to do before doing anything root.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hawkaholic2014:
awesome man, this is really helpful, im glad i posted on here lol ive been looking up all this, and i think at this point im pretty happy with the rom that is stock, nothing really strikes me as i need to change it in order to love it,after all its a huge step from the last phone i had before this one, and it i dont really 'need' to flash it in order for other things to work then it can wait. ive been looking up the Siyah kernel and it seems like the best one to go with (but if you feel different let me know lol) but i just need to look up what all needs to be done with it for it to work the way it should. ive seen many other overclocking apps out there, and i was going to do the setcpu but then i seen a review for ExTreaks, it seems like it does everything setcpu does and more, but then again i could be wrong.

thanks for clearing up the nandroid backup, i will for sure be getting that first of the long list of stuff to install. being new to this all, its all pretty overwhelming how much you really can do by rooting, i dont see why i never did this before lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
You said you have an S3,??? Stay away from Siyah kernel thats for an S2 you'll hard brick your phone installing that kernel.

Look in AT&T original development thread for kernels appropriate for your device.

Before you flash anything READ,READ, READ I've hard bricked 2 S3's because I didn't take the time to make sure of what I was doing.

If you have more questions you can pm me I know a few things.

I flashed CWM 6.0.3.1 with SIII Toolkit, and now after trying to apply the latest cm10.1 nightly the phone indicates it is rebooting into recovery with the little blue text at the top left, but then black screens until i remove the battery or reboot into ODIN mode. Is there any way to fix this through ODIN mode or Recovery reboot?

Edit: I got the OS rebooted properly and after fiddling with the Toolkit with the proper img file, ODIN still crashed on flashing the tar I compiled, so I forked out the $2 for ROM manager to do it for me and everything seems to be fixed.

Hi all,

Occasionally, when i activesync my phone stop working!

I can dial and speak and I know that the person on the other end of the phone can hear me but I cannot hear them! - (tested phoning myself)

I've tried everything to do with settings but I don't think it's anything in particular. I had reapplied the ROM 1.60WWE and this can fix the problem (whatever it is) sometimes. Currently I have reapplied it twice at this point in time to no satisfaction. Last week I applied it a few times and this did the trick!

Sound works everywhere else: ring, wav files etc but not incoming thru phone.

I have noticed a correlation that following an activesync that this has occurred however I'm still not certain it's this. activesync is crucial to how I use it so need all to work.

Does anyone have an idea or would you suggest I have it replaced?

Thanx in advance,

Chris.

Hello how are you. while you use the forum but this is the first time I make a query.

I commented what my doubt.

I installed lately about 20 different Rom to my phone, not only installed if not modified each, at this time I have the ROM << | | The Ultimatum | | >> modified by me.

But the problem comes to me every time I install a CM10 any either.

the subject was moving so I can not correct ie is fluid displacement

(ACA IS THE PROBLEM NOT EXPLAIN HOW WELL ARE MY BEST BUT TRY).

The point is that it seems that the touch tubiera some kind of rebound, ie if I go very very fast finger lift andlor rapdio also very very fluid displacement is. ie the phone has no problems in a matter of the speed the problem is in the touch or configuration of this.

I went to usb debugging and where it says show location of pointer I avilidato and looks at the lines you draw on the screen that eventually turns red is when I pass your finger across the screen and the sac is seen to be like that reboratara the gesture performed and snag a rebound scroll to follow the movement see hope I understand what I want to ask.

I modified the settings 0.01 for 0.001 and still as indeed I have changed many settings and still have the same problem,

correct very many script installed for the problem but I could not come up with the solution.

so I've had to stay with cm7: S

in any cm7 I tended the same problem

in cm9 I forgot to also feel the same.

from already thank you very much for your help.

I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.

What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.

Will I loose all my settings and data?

Need to wipe before installing. In TWRP, hit Wipe>Swipe to wipe

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sim-X:
I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

entire story

Ok first I unlocked my bootloader using the htcdev method, then installed cyanogen recovery. Did not s-off the device. then proceeded to root the phone, booted it up and it worked fine.

Then I proceeded to install a custom rom my first choice was android revolution hd, I WIPED EVERYTHING FIRST, INCLUDING SYSTEM DATA DAVLIK AND CACHE. i flashed the rom and when the device booted up, it booted straight into the bootloader, if i tried to go to recovery it would just boot back to the bootloader. the device remained unlocked so i proceeded to reflash the recovery.

Figuring that it was the rom i decided to flash a new rom a proven rom so i tried viperom. the problem was that i did not have it on my internal sd. so i simply tried installing it from a flash drive but realised that clockwork recovery could not mount the external flash drive so i reflashed the device with twrp2.6.

twrp2.6 for some reason does not work well with the sprint m7 i looked around the forums and found the twrp2.5 was my best option. as soon as i flashed twrp2.5 it worked perfectly and i was able to mount the external flash drive and proceeded to wipe everything again and install viperom.

I installed viperom but it would try to install and it would attempt to but i was never able to see it because it kept rebooting on its own. again thinking it was the rom i installed a cm10 nightly, this time it installed perfectly but after about 2 minutes it restarts on its own. i saw on the forums the added zip thats in viperom that fixes an issue with the battery, figured it was that but still nothing.

So i proceeded to use the ruu method of reinstalling the original rom, halfway through the process i realized that i had software 1.31 not 1.29, luckly a quick search and i found that viperboy posted the link to overcome that problem i followed the instructions and voila! im back in business. so i unlocked my bootloader again and thought that my problem might be that i was s-on. so i proceeded to use revone to go s-off.

Once i was s-off with twrp2.5 and an unlocked bootloader i reinstalled viperom through my flash drive and the same thing happened ( note+ only does android revolution lock u out of the recovery) the rom never installed completely, so i tried cm10 again and once again it loads and reboots the device every two minutes or so.

My last attempt was using twrp i copied viperom and cm10 onto my internal sd once again figuring the problem might be loading it from the flash drive..... but no luck, the same exact problem occurs of the m7 rebooting. so as of right now i have an unlocked bootloader with s-off twrp2.5 and rooted sprint m7 software 1.29 hboot 1.44. I have no idea why its giving me this problem, and again before anybody asks again yes i did do full wipes everytime, unless theres another method of wiping, i use the advanced setting in twrp and wipe everything except usb.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
If you are on 1.29 are you flashing 1.29 based Rom's? Or vice versa are you on 1.31 flashing 1.31 based Rom's. If the answer is yes I would guess you have faulty hardware. I would get everything back to stock RUU, s-on and locked bootloader and go to sprint and exchange it.
