Specifically for #2, yes rooting can making a huge difference.

Generally there are either TouchWiz (Name of Samsung's "skin" atop Android on the S3) roms that have huge amounts of customization like Hyperdrive or a debloated and "lighter" rom for better battery life, less lag, etc. On the other side, AOSP or stock Android can come in many different forms, 100% bone stock, All-in-One Roms like PAC, or simpler roms like CM 10.2 or AOKP. I prefer AOSP based roms a lot more than the TouchWiz roms because they generally seem very snappy and give me more internal space too!

AOSP Roms I Recommend:

Bam Rom (not on XDA) http://get.bam-android.com/

I used odin to root and went two weeks with just a stock rooted phone. i downloaded team venum jellybean and used CWM to install. at the end of the installation when i went back to reboot i got a "may have lost root" would you like to fix, after doing this and the rom loaded i had lost all root permissions...Anybody know where this noob went wrong? You can be brutal in your repsonse my fellow internet travels, any help would be thankful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JuggZaPoppiN:
Did you double check if you still have root access? You can check by installing root checker from the play store. If you do still have root access make sure you still have super su installed. If not install that from the play store as well. Worst case scenario of you don't have root access. Just root again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypnosis4U2NV:
Looking for some help in fixing a GPS issue which started after I had the phone do an NV Rebuild within the hidden menus as described in this post here.. After a reboot, it hosed my voice and data abilities.. Read a post further down which recommended entering terminal, typing "su" and then "nvrestore".. Did that and my phone bricked.. Went ahead and ODIN'ed back to original ICS stock and re-provisioned the SIM, everything works but GPS.. GPS usually takes several minutes to acquire a lock and when it does it gets about ~40ft error precision which jumps radically up whereas before I attempted the above I would get ~12ft precision locks in seconds.. This leads me to believe that there is underlying GPS code within the phones system programming that got screwed up when I attempted the NV Rebuild mod I detailed..

I have a backed up copy of my IMEI/MEID/EFS data (efs.sbn) as detailed in this thread that made long ago in the phones infancy stages.. I don't know whether or not to even attempt a restore of this data using the adb method provided or if it will even make changes to the partitions that the GPS code is held in..

My request, if at all possible, is to be able to re-flash the partition this data is in with a working copy..

Looking forward to your help..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It's risky, however if that method worked for people to restore it then it might fix your issues.

I'm not 100% sure if your gps issues are even caused by your NV rebuild. You could just have a bad phone, and a messed up restore would give you more problems than gps not working properly.

If you used a synergy backup or the built in one I would say give it a shot, this method should restore it as well if you're feeling gutsy enough. Not sure if I would do it, but I don't have frustrating gps issues so that's probably why.

I have no idea where the files are, have you tried using an agps patch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypnosis4U2NV:
While I do understand that hardware could be a cause for the issue, the problem started immediately after preforming the NV Rebuild option.. After ODIN'ing back to stock ICS and re-provisioning the SIM, I experience worse GPS locks.. I have also tried all the AGPS patches and GPS.CONF edits, including Crypted's versions.. Nothing has fixed it, in fact, the GPS behaves pretty much the same across the board..

I'm pretty confident that there are some GPS initialization scripts written in the phones hardware which tell it how to compute location and satellite locks..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I believe you, just trying to narrow it down, but I do know NV rebuild can cause tons of issues.

I would try a restore in your case, if it happened immediately after the NV rebuild then it should theoretically fix it. I think it might work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypnosis4U2NV:
I'm considering a restore using this method:

adb push efs.sbn /sdcard/efs.sbn
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/efs.sbn of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
reboot

The only problem I have is what's mentioned after:

This time we wrote the backup file to the EFS partition. After doing this you need to dial *2767*3855# to re-provision your phone.

So assuming I make a nandroid backup of my phone, I would have to wipe it clean again with the SIM re-provisioning and then restore the backup.. I also don't know if any of that information is even stored in the EFS dump using the method I extracted it with.. Using EFS Pro, you can see the system partitions being backed up..

Hey ,

I have T- mob010 s-off with their latest radio, root, recovery.. etc. My question is I have Hboot 1.44 dated May 3. Is there any reason I would want the June/July update they pushed? And if so how would I achieve that.

Another quick question since I've been away from the scene for a while, Super cid is only to switch carriers, right ? If so should I do it before I go any further playing with the phone that can cause me to be unable to achieve the CID later or vice versa?

Any other tips or fun stuff I can do? I have briefly read about the google conversion, isn't that just their rom that can be flashed or is there more I should read up on?

Hi there,

I would like to know what you guys and girls think of the S3, I'm wanting to buy a new phone but I have heard a few bad things about the S4 regarding the camera, and the sim reading. But I haven't really heard anything bad about the S3. So can you tell me what issues you've had, do you recommend the S3 over the S4

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Read all the other similar threads about our "experience". We don't want to repeat ourselves every 5 days.

S4 is better. Android "developer" is very ambiguous. If you're a rom developer, you'd want to stay away from anything with Exynos. App developers probably don't care.

Fact remains though, the S3 is pretty ancient. Im gearing up to the last 6 months of my 2 year contract. The S3 is far from flagship by today's standards

Many Samsung Galaxy devices has lag issues 'cause of poorly customized Touchwiz, even Gaaxy Note 3 has lag issues, even with 3Gb of RAM, so that's why we have some custom roms.

I agree with his statement. Out of the box (stock) the s3 has poor memory management and lags more than anything with these specs should and it is indeed down to poor software.

Yes you could flash a NS4G radio onto a E4G, but that would require modifications to the OS as well. Nobody has seemingly wanted to do that for toroplus.

something should come up with your phone asking you if you really want to unlock the boot loader. then you have to select yes. did you went trough that? did you go to the boot loader after doing all that, and did it say "unlocked"?

and Btw, if you want to run the RUU, the phone must have a locked bootloader (if i recall correctly. i'm suddenly not so ure). to lock it use

fastboot oem lock

after that, you can unlock the boot loader again anytime using the exact same unlock token you had with the command

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

EDIT: Actually, i realized you don't have to re-lock the bootloader to run the RUU.

also, please tell me, can you get the phone to boot into the boot loader? are you S-Off?
