[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Does anyone know if the latest MJ1 firmware has fixed any of the WiFi issues yet? I'm on the UK EE network and they haven't released the updated firmware yet.

I'm have the some stupid WiFi issues like many have already reported. I can especially tell on streaming apps like YouTube and Google Music where they are stopping and buffering all the time. I have turned off the "Auto network switch" in the settings but this hasn't helped.

my soft keys button died. the digitizer is dead. I need a virtual softkeys on screen. I can use those third party floating keys but they're inconsistent. I could use CM/AOSP rom but they're really horrible on network for me. Is there away I can get the home/back/menu buttons like CM rom on Sense rom? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I haven't seen anything like that for Sense ROMs. Your best bet might be an Xposed module, if it exists. If it doesn't exist you can request it on the xposed modules thread.

Can i restore .tar using Odin?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If your 'original' rom was before MG4 then no, it won't work.

Instead go forward, either MG4 or later, with your stock rom choice -instead of tinkering with your efs.

To my knowledge odin can only install a .tar if that container has a .img file inside. This depends on how you backed the efs up.

Edit: i tried to restore .tar using odin but it didnt help. I think the only way to use stock rom is to find another region who's using the latest baseband/modem but im not sure how the future update would be.I cant sell my phone ti'll i figure this out.Hope someone can help me out :(

Thanks but i dont want to stay rooted anymore as i need to sell my S3 :( It seems there is no other way for me to use the stock firmware as my efs partition is now using the mg4 format. I just wonder if I try to install ROM from another region that has the latest mg4 format or is using the same format. Getting the official update would be a different issue i guess. :crying:

return to stock fully by resetting the flash counter to 0 and then flashing stock firmware of your region. give it to a service center and claim it as imei problem. warranty=yes(free service) no warranty>(you need to pay)

DL stock firmware and flash through odin. You will then have 'emergency numbers only' situation.

Have the XXEMG Radio on your sd card and flash it through Philz recovery. You have the option in Philz to install root, take it.

Download Triangle Away and use it to get rid of your flash counters.

Transfer the zip file to the root of your internal storage or external sd card.

Turn off your phone then boot into Philz recovery.

Select install zip

Then either choose zip from sdcard or external sdcard depending where you have put the file.

Select xxemg4 zip and do the install.

When install has finished, back out and reboot system.

Do a couple of reboots just to bed things in.It will probably take a couple of hours for the radio to settle down..

Just an afterthought, when you have finalized everything, go into settings>app manager and uninstall Triangle Away. Then use My Files to navigate to internal storage or external sd card and remove any files relating to Triangle Away.

Sorry it took sometime for me to check and update again my S3(been busy these few days). Ok the good news is almost everything works.Imei and signal is back with stock rom.Now the bad news is,i cant get it back to normal status,it just says modified.I flashed back to stock and yes the status is normal but its back with the Imei problem.I guess theres really nothing i can do but let the phone stay rooted if i want it to work :( or maybe flash again a stock rom but from another region(atleast the phone would still get the official sammy update). Or probably wait for 4.3 official Rom. After this horrifying experience im just keeping my note 2 stock but rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uphall:
That's good/bad news! At least you now know that you can get back up and running again if you hit problems. I would suggest that you now back up your EFS partition and keep it somewhere safe.

So your current status is, stock rom installed, stock recovery installed but the bootloader screen still shows modified, is that right?

Try running Triangle Away again, it may or may not work, and see what happens.

I'm running the JB 4.2.2 official leak with Philz recovery installed. Just to check, I ran Triangle Away again and got back to Official in bootloader. I then flashed the stock recovery through Odin, done a reboot and booted into BL it is still showing official with the flash counter at 0.

So to all intents and purposes, I am now completely on the official stock rom and should a 4.3 update come through I should be able to install it.

Anyway, if you install any roms in the future, you know that installing the xxemg4 radio will get your status back to normal.

Remember to back up your EFS partition.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W@r10ck:
Im still on philz recovery even after i reset the counter.Do i have to manually flash stock recovery through odin after reseting the counter.But i noticed the first time i reset it,it did show official on recovery but as soon it booted to samsung i checked thr status under about it said modified.Do you think if i flash the official recovery it could make a difference. And oh i did a backup of my efs(quite a few of them)but it wouldnt matter right?as the partition format for MG4 is now different.If only theres a way to put back the old partition.Thanks a lot for the help man i appreciate it :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uphall:
You are almost there :good:

Run Triangle Away and get to Official status then just install the stock recovery through Odin. That should be you in good shape.

Apparently, the problem with MG4 is that it changes the efs partition structure. That is the reason you can't install older roms. As far as I know, the only way to go backwards is if you have an efs backup from before MG4 installation. You can then restore the older efs back up which enables you to flash roms prior to MG4.

My S3 came with 4.1.2 installed already on MG4, that's the reason I am unable to go backwards. So I went forwards instead, I have now installed MG2, which is on the same structure and it seems to improve my reception etc

Let me know how it goes.

droid razr maxx 4.1.2

This is what my phone says when it turns on! encryption was interrupted and cant complete, as a result the data on your phone is no longer accessible.

to resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. when you set up your phone after the reset, youll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account.

it gives me a reset button but when I press it my phone just restarts and says the same thing???

I had just rooted it using razr blade and it worked great but I wanted to have clockworkmod to be able to do any recoverys if needed. I downloaded a bootstrap recovery that I found and it worked fine. I did this because rom manager didn't support my phone, I gave it superuser access and clicked boot in recovery to make sure that it worked. it did, and looked just like clockworkmod recovery even said clockworkmod recovery. anyways I clicked normal boot to restart my phone and now im here... any ideas on what I can do??? I don't have any backups yet I didn't get that far.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LuckiestNut419:
Have you considered using a different recovery? BMM and Safestrap (i use the latter) are current ,proven, and reversible. As for correcting the problem, I'd just wipe the slate clean. That's what RSDlite is for.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nickmoogo:
so I can get RSDlite to wipe the phone and then use BMM and Safestrap for the recovery??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nickmoogo:
I cant get to the playstore to download anything so how would I install safestrap and use it?? and I don't have a backup on the phone so how would that work also??

[Motorola Droid RAZR] LuckiestNut419:
You were using RSDlite in fastboot mode, and the computer didn't recognize the device? USB debugging isn't an option when you're outside of the OS, so it's just a matter of having the right USB cable and Moto drivers installed.

The stock Calendar app on my Acro S completely fails to change its notification sound. I don't know for sure whether it was like this on ICS but on stock (rooted & deodexed) .96 JB it's just not working. I go in to Settings, tap "General Settings" and then "Sound" under Notifications and Reminders. I use Sound Picker to choose a notification sound, tap "Done" and when it goes back to the General Settings screen it still shows "Default ringtone". This happens with the standard Sony tones or with tones that I have created (my tones are .mp3 files, in \system\media\audio\notfications\ and with permissions set to "-rw-r--r--", like the standard .ogg files already in there.

Anyone else seeing this, or have any ideas how I might fix it?
