What you're missing (Like many other n00bs) is the ability to read which seems to be replaced with the overwhelming urge to just blinding flash anything to their device and then afterwards create silly topics which could have been avoided by doing simple things like reading what a kernel supports.

READ BEFORE FLASH!!!!!!

Or at least don't come crying when/if you brick device ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamodi:
your post totaly un usefull :)

i made a mistake and looking for answers and you not doing this so just stay away of this thread pleas
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Ok, carry on flashing random/incompatible kernels/roms to your device and see what happens. I for one will have absolutely no sympathy for you whatsoever.

Enjoy!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
after restoring the nand bkp, reboot to recovery and then,

1)wipe cache/dalvik

2)fixpermissions under advance

3) reboot ur phone and see.

4) u should also ensure that ur on the same CWM recovery (the one used to make the bkp) while restoring the bkp, to avoid conflicts :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamodi:
will try this and give feedback

i think i did it before but i still get the error android.process.acore force closing

any way i will do it again to make sure

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Always flash roms for your model not your carrier
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Do not attempt the N7100 roms...

You "will" brick your device...

Only roms located in the development section for the SGH I317, 317M, 7105, 889...

And only then when the OP clearly states a compatible build with "your" device...

And might I suggest that you run backups of your EFS folder...as an insurance policy should you have any issues later...

Also a good backup of your stock rom...that includes all device partitions...

Happy flashing...g

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RileyKA:
Up until switching to Verizon recently I have only ever used Nexus Devices. I like the Stock Android that comes with a Nexus Device. Now I have an SCH-i535 Galaxy S3 and I hate it. I have rooted and installed custom bootloaders on this, I even tried using the root66 ROM for a while until VZW pushed an update that killed it, since then I have been completely stock.

I have used an AOSP ROM on my wifes Inspire 4G for a while and it wasn't very stable, kinda turned me off on custom ROMs.

Now I think I am ready to delve into custom ROMs again with my S3 and want some recommendations from the community on what would give me the closest experience to a the stock Nexus version of Android on my S3. It would also be awesome if I could get Google Wallet working on it too but that is not a requirement.

Thanks in advance and try not to flame me too hard as this is my first post and I really am too lazy to read every post on every ROM to find what I'm looking for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
if youre too lazy, youre going to run into issues.

the best thing you can do is read and try roms. wallet will work with any rom as far as i know. theres a thread in the themes and apps section you should look at.

youre thread will most likely be closed like others do of this nature.

every device runs differently so your results will vary.

some roms have smaller faetures that cause people to stay. theyre all kinda unique.

if you like youre stock features checkout touchwiz roms. if you want something closer to nexus check out the AOSP roms.

if you like stock and the look of AOSP checkout the touchwiz ones that have AOSP themes.

sorry for the vague answer, but figured id give some help before the thread is closed.

good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RileyKA:
Thanks for the reply. I see that someone posted pretty much the same question as I did . I think I'll watch that thread also to see what comes up.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] upsnake:
Hello,

I was attempting to install Meanbeam.

Evo -LTE of course. I did the back up and the factor wipe then in TWRP, choice install and selected the rom from the sd card. The problem is that it has be "installing" now for about an hour and a half. It appears to be froze.

The last two lines are installing update... and formatting and mounting partition...

S- on. I was attempting to following Mikeys directions for S on phones.

At this point is there anything I can do or just let the phone sit longer?

Thanks

:)

Edit. I was able to get it to abort. (somehow, I am not entirely sure) haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Were you able to get your issue resolved?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SkedAddled:
If your device is not in an S-Off state, I believe you'll have to flash the MeanBean boot.img booter via the fastboot command. This is what I had to do after achieving an unlocked bootloader and installing a custom recovery, such as TWRP or ClockworkMOD.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
MeanBean has a kernel installer built in to facilitate ROM flashing when S-on. You have to flash the ROM zip twice, once to flash the ROM, then again to flash the kernel (boot.img).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] upsnake:
Thanks Guys.

I was able to get it to cancel out of the stuck install screen, I am not exactly sure what I pushed to get it to that, but.

I had an older version of TWRP.

I rooted a while ago and was just getting around to flashing a new rom.

Once i upgraded to the new TWRP the install went perfectly. :)

Today, I've download a Dopod rom "ba_dopodcht_12406_110_10600_ship.exe"

Afterward, I've unzipped the exe file to several files.

Before ugrading my Eng OS to Traditional chinese, I try to fix the country ID error first.

However, while execute ,

"xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0X2004030522"

The screen prompt out such error,

"Warning: this does not look like a nbf header, possbile you provided the wrong password"

I think it is the 0X2004030522 problem, would there anyone can told me how to solve it or the correct password for those 3 nbf file?

Well if you want to read it that way the answer is yes,

but if it does not work then the answer would be no.

I Never tried it!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] vastloper:
The method is working allways when the device is still running.

However when the device is jumping into bootloadermode then it checks again.

With some upgrade files it works when it is in bootloader mode and with some other updates it wont work when your device is in bootloader mode.

It does work with o2 and with latest update from qtek.nu

I am scared to try i with chinese versions since i can't read chinese :oops:

Not sure if it applies to the RAZR but with my Electrify M it was not possible to RSD back to 4.0 after I OTA upgraded to 4.1.2. I would be cautious of a bootloader lock with "no way back" ;)
[Droid RAZR M General] motrinHD:
you think this had anything to do with the recent Android malware scare?

They can solve the unlock exploit for people that haven't unlocked yet. RSD can only do so much.

Well I for one am excited to see they are still developing on our device. From what ive been reading the droid razd hd and hd max are also getting this update. With the last update Motorola said it wasn't a android update too but it actually was. Hopefully it is this time too.
[Droid RAZR M General] netizenmt:
From what I read on droidrzr.com, this release is just bug fixes.
[Droid RAZR M General] CamoCustom:
You are correct, its just a MR for bugs, not sure if I should install it or not. I mean, what could it hurt? I am already unlocked....
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
I've seen in several places that this update will close the unlock and root exploits. However, if you're unlocked already, it shouldn't re-lock, but it will eliminate root. Why did you unlock, if you're still willing to take OTAs? Just wait for the update to make it into dev's hands, and they can release a "safe" version.
[Droid RAZR M General] CamoCustom:
Yea, you are right. I wont install it, I did pull it though, and have it readily available for anyone who would want it.....
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/1...the-kernel-exploit-for-unlocking-bootloaders/

Using RSD to get to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 should allow for the bootloader to be unlocked again (since its just a kernel fix)

Sad to see we wont be getting official 4.2 anytime soon.
[Droid RAZR M General] jimmydafish:
[/COLOR]It is not possible to downgrade the devices once updated unless the bootloader is already unlocked, therefore that won't work.
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
You can RSD on a locked bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M General] CamoCustom:
But you cannot go backwards from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1, that is what I understand.
[Droid RAZR M General] aviwdoowks:
Get the imei first & check w/ vzw for a clean number.
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
keep in mind that you can still root. all the clean ROM (not to discredit or diminish the dev in any way), is the stock ROM less all of the bloat ware (and he added in a power menu mod). so you can accomplish all of that via root. the key advantage for unlocked bootloaders is to install a custom kernel, and the clean ROM still uses the stock Mar/Apr kernel.

so, with a little research, you could still keep this device, root it, freeze/delete any bloat ware, and still keep the same updated kernel (which supposedly improves data connections).
[Droid RAZR M General] WillisD:
It's not the kernel that improves data connection, that is the radio that controls that and not everyone got the new radio with the build
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
Strange. Will have to test this out when if I get my hands on any locked devices.

Tip for all: UNLOCK AND DONT UPDATE
[Droid RAZR M General] AKShotgun:
Do you think this update is to prepare for 4.2? Also there is a soak test beginning for the razr hd. Its easy to say anything the razr hd gets we will get.

[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
Before you unlock, can you try RSDing to 4.1.1?

This would confirm whether or not you can downgrade on a locked bootloader
[Droid RAZR M General] dbreezy187:
With my experience on the d4 and the xt912 (razr) you can not downgrade with a locked boot loader... a few have bricked their device with no chance of return... once bricked they could not rsd or use Matt's utility...
[Droid RAZR M General] WillisD:
It will brick it, seen too many posts from people who have done it with d2, DX, dx2, etc
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
Really? Cause I can downgrade my X2 and D2 to Froyo without any sort of problems. (Might want to note to always charge to full and wipe data when RSDing)
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
If you updated to 4.1.2, you can't downgrade on a locked BL, it will fail flash (not brick, it just won't even try to flash...). If you're on 4.1.1, you can, that was changed in the 4.1.2 upgrade

[Droid RAZR M General] CamoCustom:
He has been Helped :good:
[Droid RAZR M General] tucstwo:
Thank you CamoCustom, It's come to my attention that there are ALSO 2 different OTAs being dropped for the M as well. The One CamoCustom sent me which is labeled "98.15.66" which updates you to 98.18.78. But there is ALSO in the wild another labeled "98.16.1" which updates one to 98.16.3. Does ANYONE have a copy of this OTA? I'm still in the process of ironing out the exact differences. Can one use either one? Is one better than the other? Are they inter-compatible? Why two different ones? Rumors about Microsoft patents that required different OTA pushes. But who actually IS on this "other" system version that requires and OTA labeled 98.16.3? These are things I'd like to get worked out. So far, I can only comment on the HD OTA. But that doesn't help you folks! I'd like to promise you it's safe to flash any of these OTAs willy nilly. But I'm just not prepared to say this at this moment. Thank you guys
[Droid RAZR M General] pricematthew4143:
the update is 98.18.78

[Droid RAZR M General] motrinHD:
and I'm getting this one.

have any complications happened from installing this? losing root, possibly not playing nice with a unlocked bootloader?
[Droid RAZR M General] tucstwo:
That's the one! Would you be kind enough to pull that from your /cache folder, put it in Dropbox and share a link with me? I'd really like to try and figure out why they're pushing two for the M and how different they are! Thanks you!
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
If you are already unlocked, you're good. You can't root the standard way, but all you need to do is flash a SU zip and you will be rooted.
[Droid RAZR M General] dbreezy187:
I have not yet rooted nor unlocked yet.... do you think that might have a little to do with it... I don't have a working PC so I couldn't root n get the update
[Droid RAZR M General] tucstwo:
No, it does not. But I would absolutely Not flash this update before unlocking. The word is, they've patched it. So you will be SOL forever.
[Droid RAZR M General] dbreezy187:
That kinda sucks for me...
[Droid RAZR M General] tucstwo:
Why?

Are you able to copy that update from /cache to your SD card? I'd really like to look through that one as well. I have 3 of these 4 OTAs, thats the only one I can't get. :(
[Droid RAZR M General] motrinHD:
thanks! I went ahead and updated. didn't flash super su tho, I used voodoo rootkeeper, it worked for me:)
[Droid RAZR M General] tucstwo:
Either way is fine. SuperSu is more useful if someone makes a mistake or forgets. One just needs to remember to reflash their recovery :cool:

Here's the OTA that I received this morning...
[Droid RAZR M General] dbreezy187:
No... I've not rooted nor can I and to my knowledge once installed it deletes itself
[Droid RAZR M General] tucstwo:
Oh, and you installed it before rooting and unlocking?
[Droid RAZR M General] meisjohn:
I'm in the same position. I tried the standard rooting techniques, and they don't work anymore. I had the sinking feeling that this OTA was going to

There's nothing in my /cache directory.

When it started it said, "98.16.3". When it was finished it said, "98.16.1". So...I dont know.
