[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarisrulez:
I had installed Samsung Drivers beforehand, before even rooting / doing anything. Did not had KIES until now.

Still cannot flash to stock firmware with Odin.

BTW in the guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 i see that it should be blue, but mine is yellow when I connect my phone to Odin: http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/9231/odin4c.jpg and mine: http://cl.ly/image/473N1E0Q3G2X
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IC3CR34M:
Some roms, mostly PA (paranoid android) just happen to have wifi probs.

I used to have pacman rom earlier and as it was a combination of cyanogen mod, paranoid android, and AOSP roms. It had a part of all three in it, so the wifi bug persisted. Went back to stock rom later.

Usually stock roms are the best and most stable for your phone, No matter how much the hype is, features are, or however big Nd bold letters STABLE is written in. Just delete the bloatware given by samsung to get ur phone clean and ram light. You can delete system apps by using titanium backup.

Happy to help :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarisrulez:
Thing is, that I am rooted, done with Odin, by following this guide: http://www.androidrooting.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-or-gt-i9300t-cwm-recovery/

So I have CWM, and with I tried Android 4.3 via SuperNexus, Android 4.3 via ParanoidAndroid 3.97 ROM, then, lastly CM 10.2 (4.3). With none of them did I managed to get the Wifi going.

Here is my current "About device": https://www.dropbox.com/sc/8hp04dn5o5flytd/LpoJCgZ7sK

Is this stock samsung firmware? Coz I can't tell. It seems stock, but maybe it changed with the rooting procedure.

So I repeat, only with this setup/build does the wifi work. With no other custom rom does...

I did backup and recovery to my current working wifi rom. That's how I recovered after trying these custom roms mentioned before.

Guys, help me pls, with at least flashing to the stock samsung rom with Odin or Kies (Odin failed, scroll up see my recent posts with screenshots)

Note that on my last try, Odin just froze yet again: http://cl.ly/image/0o0o0k2L3J3m

If not with Odin, then how do I restore it to stock samsung rom with KIES?

thx!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IC3CR34M:
You dont do it with kies. Kies is such bull**** software. Dont use it at all. You wanna backup, use TI(titanium backup) or nandroid backup. Take a system backup from CWM. As you said in your post, u want to go back to stock, dl the stock rom, do the same procedure u did to root your phone via odin (pda, etc etc), just this time instead of the root zip file, just put the stock rom zip file.

It should take some time, and aftet its done, your phone will be as good as new. To restore the backup via TI, dont select system apps. Only the apps which are in green font or downloaded apps. Other wise u will have force closes.

Also, when u flash the stock rom via odin from your pc, you will not have root. Just a note.

You can simply remove bloatware like live wallpapers, samsung "never gonna use" features like Svoice via TI by just uninstalling them, but note, if fiddling with system apps, them make sure u take a backup.

I have written it all in simple language so that you understand every essential part and have fun with your rooted phone.

Happy to help :)

Hi, i'm a noob with the sony xperia s. I bought this phone fo rmy wife about one year ago and it has been working fine until yesterday. It has never been rooted or flashed since bought and yesterday it just stopped working. When i plug the charger in the phone i get no LED or no response from the screen. When i try powering on i get no response also. I tried hard resetting by holding the volume up and power buttons for at least 30 seconds but no response as well. I removed the battery and checked the voltage and got 3.8V.

Can anyone please help me out in a timely manner since i am trying to avoid buying another phone right now!!! Thanks alot!!:crying:

hey there helpful guys,

i rooted my phone (got rec.clockwork), flashed my old aceS8530 with StockLite v8 (incl. kernel), and wanted to swap the mem.

i had a bad browser tool, so i could just overwrite the old vold.fstab with the new (bad) one - so the old (good) is gone to nowhere...

think if i replace the correct code, it'll work again.:confused:

now i got a better explorer (root browser) with which i can write.

tried nearly everything: repair the code by myself, wipe dalvik/cache/data - nothing ever happened.:mad:

problem: cause of no SDrecognising, kies nor PCconnection doesnt work, i cant put anything on SD, cant get any data from mail - except the message.

i'd like you to give me the original vold-fstab for my ace:

model: GT-S5830

android: 2.3.6

baseband: S5830XWKT8

kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL562111

build: StockLite v8

[Motorola Droid Bionic] theemaster:
Since apparently people can get this phone working on tmobile.. I was just wondering what your experiences were.. does it work easily/effortlessly? (I would likely use reseller lycamobile) and sometimes use Verizon reseller page plus
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andy_in_Indy:
I am not sure what you mean by "easily/efortlessly". It takes a bit of work and patience to root and modify the phone. Once modified, the phone is usually back at the new phone state, so you have to reinstall all of your apps and some of the setting. If you install the wrong settings, it messes up the phone, so it is best to only use Titanium Backup to reinstall the downloaded apps and the update and restart the preinstalled software. I was not able to use Titanium to reinstall my text messages, but it did restore my WiFi passwords.

Once the sim card is installed and running, I get an occasional "toast" message about a UI error, but none of my apps seem to be shutting down when that happens so I just ignore it (I think I may have missed a step that fixes that). Some apps are no longer available because they were tied to Verizon Service (Smart Actions had trouble so I left it off).

I seldom get more than 2 bars of HSPA signal. However, that gets me about 7 MB/s download when I am stationary (about a good as my home network on a cable modem and about 1/2 the speed of Verzon LTE) but the power consumption is much lower. I can expect my extended battery to only use 30% by the end of work vs. 40-45% with LTE active (both on WiFi). Off of WiFi I get just over 50% longer life than I did on LTE.

I have no issues hearing or being heard on a call. I get signal almost everywhere I did with Verizon in the Metro Indianapolis area, but I seldom have a good Data signal on I-65 between Indianapolis and Gary (voice works).

I hope that covers the questions you had in mind!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theemaster:
I take it after you do all this.. you can't just flip the phone back onto verizion.. after running say "tmobile" (you have to re-rom the phone or something right?)

I also assume you can switch to AT&T though without much trouble?

Does the phone have a external antenna port.. I would assume "no" ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andy_in_Indy:
It is not so much "re-rom" as you have to wipe the data cache clean, which means all or your apps and messages are erased.

I have not tried switching between t-mobile and AT&T (I don't have an active AT&T SIM card) but I don't think that will be a problem. The boot looping is caused when you change the settings in the build.prop file and you would not need to do that when switching between GSM carriers.

I can't remember if the Bionic has an external antenna port (my wife has one, and my daughter the other - I am on an old iPhone 3GS until I replace somebody's handset).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Andy_in_Indy:
There is an antenna connector or the phone. Pull the back off and it is visible between the battery and the lower microphone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iVAn94fi:
Hi Xda members!! My friend brought me his PURE STOCK gs2 after he tried to upgrade it via kies. The process killed his phone: when you switch on the device, the gt-i9100 logo appears, then goes away. Then appears the samsung bootanimation even with the sound. And at this point the phone is stuck. The Samsung logo keeps on glowing, but it doesn't go any further. I tried to access recovery or download mode via the keys combo, but they just don't work. I managed to go in download with the jig, and also by plugging the cable and pressing vol down, then inserting the battery. But this doesn't help either because flashing a stock firmware doesn't change anything. the flash goes well, everything is ok, but the phone keeps hanging at the Samsung's bootanimation. I searched for hours but didn't manage to find any solutions. I have even flashed the cwm/kernel by philz, but the result is the same. I have read entirely this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 , but it says

This made me understand that the NAND rw corruption isn't my case because i flashed the stock firmwares from odin ( before i flashed a XWlSW 4.1.2 then a XWLPF 4.0.3 to see if there were any changes) and both the flashes went perfect.. :confused::confused: In your opinion i should try a pit flash?? because i never tried it and i'm a bit scared :D SOOO at this point my brain is melting and i really don't know what to do.. so please if you can help me... :eek::eek:

Cyanogen calls the same model above flo

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PJ Clifford:
I think razor is the ROM designation and FLO is the designation for the hardware.

Hello, yesterday I was on my phone when it suddenly just seemed to shut off. I have cm10, and want to get rid of it and go back to stock. can i go back to the stock ics rom instead of gingerbread, and be able to do it on cm10 at the time? i can restore to the time i had my phone just rooted and stock ics. i just dont want to go through the trouble of going back to gingerbread stock rom and then updating to ics stock rom through kies. thanks in advance.

side question: is it normal for my phone to randomly shut off on cm10? from what i hear, its the screen of death. it happened to me 2 days after i flashed cm10 and then happened yesterday. (i flashed cm10 last month). if it occurs this often im going back to stock. im fine with the t mobile apps as long as no random reboots occur.

Sorry to hear but the nightlies are very stable and with use of one of the custom kernels (lz or blue lightning) the phone is stable. If you decide to go back to stock ROM good luck with everything:D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] boulos:
I too have been experiencing what appears to be the SOD. The bottom "soft buttons" light up and the phone is dead. I have to perform a forced reboot to get it working.

I keep hoping the next build will make it go away but it always comes back.
