[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguy:
I'm with you to be honest. I cannot stand buying something that is already visibly damaged and before buying anything second hand I scour the device looking for marks and scratches - even the lightest ones.

I'm still sat on the fence at the moment wrt the bezel. Does anyone thing newer s3's might be better constructed, and I assume there are people who have had their s3 from launch and have had no issues with bezel cracking whatsoever?

For those that use cases what kind of cases cover the bezel? I'm not a huge fan of cases particularly because of the bulk they add, but if there is a slim case available it would at least be a solution of sorts should the bezel ever crack for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I recently bought an alu case. Its the only one that covers the crack. It wont prevent the cracking though
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chief_Death:
2 SGS I9300 here and both of them have about 2-3 cracks on the bezel.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yi Kwang-Sun:
My white S3 is still perfect, I keep it in official Samsung Protective Cover or the Slim one.

I am very careful when I insert headphones or usb charger not to scratch the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its more to do with expansion and contraction than not being careful
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprentzas:
Hi! I bought a new galaxy s4 gt-i9505 international version. Can someone tell me if it has locked bootloader or not?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

My rooted i9505 S4 has the same scripts as yours.

So, I would say that you are OK to root it,if you want.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprentzas:
So if I flash a custom rom that will be ok right? I do not need to unlock the bootlaoder first or something like HTC ONE X? and if I want to go back to stock I will follow the procedure like GS3? triangle away etc?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

No unlocking necessary.

Samsung is much easier.

And yes to the return to stock and triangle away.

Look HERE

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprentzas:
OK then!! Lets flash some ROMssss!!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven0731:
Can I root my S4 also?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven0731:
How do i root my S4?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrcdgriffin:
Okay need a little help I just tried installing a rom and it flashed but when I went to reboot it said that my phone was not rooted and asked if I wanted to install superSU and when I hit dont install it gets stuck at the galaxy note 2 boot so I tried it again but hitting install and it does the same thing. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuko303:
Got a custom recovery in? Guessing you do since you seem to flashed a rom. Anyways flash a supersu.zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
Not necessarily. I flashed a ROM and TWRP asked about keeping root. I said yes and it lost root or root app. I reflashed and said no that time and it worked.

It was Moon Rom or Sunsonic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JPull07:
So I'm wanting to root my s3,but it is running 4.0.4 and I would like to root it and put a rom on it but the majority of guides I've seen are for 4.1.2.i have Odin already and the Samsung diverts installed. Can someone direct me to a reliable guide I can use? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
from my understanding it is easier to root what you have than the 4.1.2 method..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JPull07:
Great, but I need some sort of instructions and haven't been able to find any yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I'm on phone so can't do it for u now until get to my CPU.

Its in the Dev. Section.

Thx, nice with more space :D

But what happened to pocketzenphone? Why was it removed from wm2003se? Also BatMemTime doesnt seem to work on wm2003se, it will stop functioning after certain other apps are started (I think it has something to do with how the apps shows their graphics).. Just pointing this out since it probebly shouldnt be under wm2003se....

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
Once a while ago i've cooked a wm2003se rom with pocketzenphone. If i did not turn off immediatelly after the welcome screen process (screen align etc.), after the first softreset, my today screen hanged and the only thing i could do is a hard reset. Also, later i saw on a webpage that it has issues with wm2003se.

About batmemtime: LumpiStefan has the PPC2002 version so it is possible that it is incompatible with wm2003se.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
No, it´s the actuel version compiled for WM2003. It´s ony the same version info....

Lumpistefan,

Thank you for the hardwork you've done so far :D

Is it possible to make a section which will allow us to upload our own softwares to be cooked while we're making rom :?:

Meaning a section will let us upload a cab file to be installed after it's done flashing, like O2 how they did to the Caller ID in their last rom.

Thank you for your patience.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
I don't think it's possible to make an upload section to add personal CAB-files to the ROMs and let them install automaticly.

Only CAB-files I've found are integrated in the Autoconfiguration.

Maybe an other option would be making an Textfield to make own Registry settings, or to include own tsk-file and/or ring-tone.

But we will see...

Thanks in advance

Xp supports upto 4.0.

Ain't it possible to use on 4.0?

Sent from my MB526
[Android Software Development] Snndev:
Friend here is the answer from MS Answers,so I can not fix that error :( . Needs to be compiled with older version of Visual Studio and have installed and developed this with lastest. Sorry

File is not designed for your version of Windows:

- If you're trying to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows you may get this error.

- Although many older programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will work.

- If the program is an older MS-DOS program or early Windows program you may get this error.

- If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you're running it in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

[HTC One S] rootrider:
Android 4.3 will come with a slightly improved Roboto font. Fontmaniacs can read more about it in a typeface teardown over at Android Police.

Those of you who want to use it, can download this font here in a flashable package. The fonts were extracted from a Nexus 4 system dump.

When flashing this package, it will replace some font files in /system/fonts, so it is a good idea to make a nandroid backup before.

Enjoy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CYNiK_sXe:
Ok, so I've tried to replicate this with different ROM's and I still get the same result. I have an AT&T i337 Galaxy S4 rooted with Motochopper and installed TWRP 2.6.0 via Goomanager, and tried different google edition roms and stock touchwiz roms. I'll install a rom, get it up and running [install my apps,theme,etc]. Then I'll do a random reboot, and the phone just stays at the Samsung Unlocked Custom screen, for about 5 minutes, then it'll act as if I just installed the ROM i just previously set up as if it was a new setup...I don't understand any of this, am I missing something (are you not allowed to reboot the phone). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any questions as to how I install my roms. 1.Boot Into Recovery, 2.Wipe Data format data wipe cache 3.Select Install on TWRP, 4.Choose Rom, 5.Choose Loki-Doki, 6.Let it all install 7. wipe cache and dalvik again 8.boot system 9.Setup android, install apps, themes, 10.Reboot...then it goes back into the Samsung Unlocked Custom Screen, wait 5 mins and I will have to run through the android setup again, as if it forgot that I just installed it. All my apps, themes, customizations are gone.

Happens with ANY custom ROM i choose, google edition OR stock touchwiz roms.

do I need to flash loki doki everytime I reboot? So for example...reboot, go into recovery, flash loki-doki, boot? I've never encountered so much problems with rebooting my phone with any custom roms...

Thanks guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
i dont use twrp but i've heard things about formatting /data causing problems. maybe someone with more twrp expertise can chime in with a fix.

you could consider some other possible options and if you dont have any success, you may want to consider starting over via stock firmware/odin. when you go through the root process again and twrp is installed in casual (i think 2.5.0.0), stay on it. dont update to a newer release. either that or change custom recoveries. after you've made a backup:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache & dalvik

format /system (not /data)

then flash the rom and loki-doki or an at&t loki'd kernel (like ktoosez).

wipe your caches again if you'd like and reboot.

let the phone sit for 5 or more minutes, reboot and just setup your gmail account stuff. not everything. give it another reboot to see if it stuck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TechSilver13:
I have been having this same issue as of late, and I am using TWRP 2.5.0.2 and 2.6.0.0. It seems that the only thing I can use is a CM type ROM, I can't get TW to reboot at all after the initial boot. I am factory restoring now and going to use CWM and then try SHOshock 2.1

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 AM ----------

Okay factory restoring through odin and using CWM or OUDHS works just fine. That's what you need to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ex-28:
i ran into this problem as well a few weeks back , the problem is twrp , if you do a full wipe where you type in "yes" and it resets to factory defaults , your phone will reboot 1 time only , after that it will get stuck on that screen , only way i found to fix it was to flash back to stock thyen reroot and install twrp again., then never do a full wipe where you have to type "yes"

hope it helps....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
No Ax, not more of the SAME questions over and over, please, do not get...But...NO Ax, get outta here....

TRY A DIFFERENT LOKI KERNEL for your device.

WHY LOKI-DOKI?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] the_liv80:
Not sure if this is entirely the same problem (sorry Ax if this is a duplicate from something else) but for non AOSP ROM's I've tried using loki doki and for every subsequent reboot I get the screen where it says AT&T recognizes an unsupported software on my device.

This has happened on two different ROM's which just caused me to be gun-shy and go back to CM, which allows me to reboot whenever I want with no worries.

For non-AOSP ROM's do I need to loki doki after every single reboot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
No prob, we cool, this is exactly why I stress a loki kernel, why? because you know that kernel works EVERY TIME. I have never used loki doki yet, nor am I about to start, I listed what, some 50 roms in my guide and I flashed every one of them with 1 kernel and 1 only. The wrong kernel does numerous things like, the unsupported screen, hangs at samsung logo, throw you into a bootloop, and in some instances will throw you into the recovery loop. I have seen many when I flashed the roms, but I worked my way out of 3/4 of them with out having to odin back to anything. Now no one get confused, loki kernels for att/verizon, your carriers kernel for all others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] the_liv80:
Thanks [MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION] - tried using the Loki kernel from your guide on both Omega ROM and Mint Jelly. Got a boot loop again on MJ and couldn't get passed the stupid acore process failure on Omega...plus, I had the added benefit of Omega wiping Data after I chose not to.

So.....ended up having to format and reflashed CM.

Odin stock, after it finishes do a factory reset. You should be ok after that.
