[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Since you unlocked your bootloader, you can flash any custom kernel (Doomkernel or newer Lupus kernel). They all have CWM or TWRP recovery.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaPsycho:
Thank you for the reply.

Is the Doomkernel & Lupus kernal like CWM, sorry for the dumb question. if so you can, can you point out a tutorial with step by step.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
You could check tutorals at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836530

You could also check sticky threads in q/a and general section

Maybe cwm installer (or xparts) don't work on unlocked bootloader, and that's why you can't install it. Or, as i recall, only some versions work (v5 is working, as i recall)

Before all that, make backup of your apps with titanium backup, just in case.

Custom kernels have embedded cwm recovery (two things in a single file).

Any Linux Love?

Fortunately, I don't have Windoze installed on my system. Unfortunately, the only rooting methods I've stumbled across involve using a program that does not have a Linux port. Anyone know of any methods to root Sprint's Galaxy Tab 3 from a Linux OS? Odd that this isn't the standard, what with Android being Linux-based, and all. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00BY0815:
How about a virtual windows? Ypou probably dont need more than VMware or something.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0mp13371331337:
I was looking to avoid virtualization when it comes to modifying the firmware of external devices. I've had mixed results pushing things to an old android phone from a virtual machine and would really much prefer a native solution. Though if that's all that's available, I guess I'll have to plug it in, cross my fingers, and hope that those bits are able to make it through the virtualization layer in one piece. ;)

Thanks for your input, N00BY0815!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparytrainor:
You don't have to do anything special, just visit the kingo app website, download the app, enable usb debugging on the phone, and run the app..
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0mp13371331337:
Running the app through a virtualized Windoze installation, the process is a bit trickier than that, but yes, once the virtual machine recognizes the device, the app should be able to root it. Like I said, I was just hoping for a native Linux method to avoid virtualization. :)

The first question would be, why would you want to. The TW features (s voice, gnow, multiwindow, blah blah) are written for the hard keys.

But if you really want to try this. It was written for the S3, But may still serve your purpose.

I know why I'd like to have the AOSP Navbar in TW on my note 2. Because i love to use my stylus, but its a pita to have to use my fingers to go back, home etc. with the Navbar I can strait use the stylus without the hassle of using the hard keys with my fingers or holding the little mini button on the stylus to draw an arbitrary design i create to do what the navbar can do natively.

But alas i've come to find somethings in aosp just dont work right in TW. and i tried the navbar on the note 2 awhile back but I just wasnt impressed. got some FC's here and there etc.

good luck and post up your results. would love to hear if it works for you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AfXv237:
Hello,

I want to buy a second-hand pebble blue S3 for 220euros. Apparently it is in good conditions, it works perfectly, everything is in order. I wanted Note2 but there is no longer in stock (~350euros 2hand). I want to know couple things about this S3. My brothers have S1 and S2 and no serious problems so far (owned for more than 2 years)

1. Is it a durable device?

2. What problems could I encounter?

3. Is there any way to check the history of the phone? (e.g. how many hours have been spoken)

4. I am not going to root/mod it in any way, which genuine software version seems to be the best?

5. Is there any differences between white and pebble blue version?

6. Compared to Note2, is it a major difference? (apart from the screen size)

7. What about the price? Does it seem right?

I would appreciate if anybody would sincerely answer my questions.

P.S: I do not want HTC/LG alternatives as I do not trust them. (already had experiences with their products and they're rubbish).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smala:
As far i know..

1. It's up to you... do not try harmful things (installing wrong roms/mods) and it will be solid as a rock.

1a. If you install the correct mods/roms (which one is ok for your phone) it will fly!

4. the latest Official (4.1.2 At the moment; watch out for EMG4 new EFS Data format) firmware

5. Colour? :cyclops:

Read the threads here about Sudden Death and Freezing. I had fits with the freezing issue. While mine is working fine now (after a LOT of pain), I would not recommend it due to this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCraig:
I'm about to sell the phone, honestly I would recommend you go and get the Note II if you are on a budget, this isn't the best phone ever, it could have been the best phone of 2012 if it had 2GB of ram, 1GB just isn't enough anymore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moster2:
I dont see any reason not to get this phone, if you get it that cheap in a good condition. 2gb are not really necessary. The only downside it has is the UI touchwiz which is kind of slow and overloaded, but this is still an issue on the note 2/3 and s4. But to be honest, other custom UIs from htc and so on are not really better.

The sudden death syndrome also shouldnt affect you, as long as the phone was updated to 4.1.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AfXv237:
I found a cheaper one, at ~210 euros, white, 16gb. I know that 1GB RAM might not be enough, this is why I wanted Note2 (i like the bigger screen too). Unfortunately, I am worried about the durability of the Note2 because theoretically it does not come with Gorilla Glass. I work in kind of severe conditions, I'm a mechanic (ofc the phone will sit in a comfy hard leather). Also, is more than 100 euros more expensive and I'm a bit tight with money. Regarding the S3, I've read about the update that fixed the sudden death syndrome, but I've also heard that the phone might stop working after 150-200 days (at least some people said so). Should I be afraid of this or not?

Update: the cheapest Note2 I've found is at ~330 euros. The extra 120 euros are not justified. My brother has S2 (same 1GB RAM) and it does just fine, not to mention that even the S1 handles pretty well with 512MB :D .

In conclusion, I am going to buy a 2nd-hand S3 i9300 (used ~ a year or less). It looks and works normal, as it should. Considering the fact that I am paying over 200 euros for it, I really want to be sure that I am making a good decision. So far, S1 and S2 did an amazing job, so I am expecting the same from the S3. If are there any problems/reasons not to buy it, please enlighten me up. (apart from SDS if it isn't already fixed or it won't get fixed after software update)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
I just want to say, like you, I went with the exact same reasoning about the 1gb on the s3. I upgraded from the s1 and also thought Samsung did a good job with the s1 and s2, etc. Well, not so. Thing is, they bloated the phone so bad that 1gb is really REALLY short. All i'm saying is that way of thinking is wrong and I thought you'd want this clarified.

That said, 1gb is not the end of the world (just the end of multitasking lol) and for the price you're paying I do believe it's totally worth it. Phone is still a beast on most cases and you probably won't be disappointed.

About the sds, had one s3 failing 1 weak after buying. Ics was the firmware of the moment and therefore not safe. Was replaced by a new one and never had another issue. If you can use the phone for 1 day before buying you can check for random freezing and rebooting. Those are really clear signs of imminent failure. To be honest, I've not heard of anyone's phone falling on a 150, 200 days timeframe. People do complaint about a bit of lag from time to time and and like to think thats the 'fix' working.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AfXv237:
Thank you for the 'gold' info. about 1GB RAM not being enough for S3. Obviously, I/we tend to mix things up and compare an unknown thing with a related known one. But at the end of the day I have no other choice, I just can't see any better option at this value. Moreover, I had couple occasions to play with it a bit and I find it really fast, responsive (while surfing on the internet for instance). Anyway, I am not going to push it to extremes. Mostly surfing the internet, talking, messages, FB, maybe music, couple games (just in case I get too bored when I am waiting or sth :D ). After all, every phone freezes from time to time, it isn't something specific to S3.

Thank you for the precious info, mate. :good:

And I'm trying to figure out the steps to rooting and installing a custom recovery so I can flash a custom Rom. Anyone have the tuts on how to do this?
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
This guide by Ecstacy42

1. Unlock your bootloader here. Select "All Other Supported Models" and follow the instructions.

2. Download the Rom, Kernel, and a recovery, verify the MD5 checksums, and then copy the rom and kernel zips to your internal SD card. I'd recommend one of the WWE versions as they don't have a lot of the AT&T bloat.

3. Boot into the bootloader (it says how in the guide showing you how to unlock your bootloader)

4. Select fastboot, plug your phone into your computer.

5. Type "fastboot devices" to make sure it's connected, then type "fastboot flash recovery whateverrecoveryyouused.img".

6. Boot into recovery. Make a backup. Then wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.

7. Reboot into fastboot, then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" using the boot.img from the Rom you downloaded.

8. Reboot into recovery and install the rom zip using TWRP/ClockworkMod.

9. Reboot into fastboot and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" using the boot.img from the kernel.

10. Reboot into recovery and flash the kernal zip.

11. Start up your phone, if you flashed a DeOdexed Rom it'll take a little while to boot up.
