[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] toeshot:
I have done some testing of ROM's and Radios and I am posting my results here. Sorry I am starting a new thread on this but the 4.3 is all over the place with what is said and what is not said.

First Just so it is known where I am testing From.

Samsung Galaxy III Rooted and Running DocHoliday 4.3 no KNOX and no CIQ, rooted. Warranty Bit not tripped.

Installed Official 4.3 ROM from Sam Mobile Warranty Bit Not Tripped

Went to root with Odin root66. Odin failed Warranty Bit tripped and has remain tripped.

So now as for the testing I have done with ROMs and Modems

ROM..................Modem.................Modem Working

MJC...................MJC ....................Yes

MD5...................MD5.....................No

MD5...................MJC.....................Yes

LJC....................LJC......................No

LJC....................MJC.....................Yes

I tried to one click ODIN LJA but would not Odin

So it appears Once you put in the Official 4.3 ROM from Samsung you cannot change the bootloader and the only radio that will work is the MJC. You cannot Odin any ROM besides the official 4.3 once you have already had the Offical 4.3 installed (this may not include future ROMS like the 4.4).

You can flash any ROM from a zip file but you will have to use the MJC modem.

You can Odin recoveries TWRP and CWM or use the TWRP and CWM Respective Managers. I have used both recovery managers and they both work for installing recoveries.

I hope this clears up some things for some people and helps some.

For people who are haveing a hard time with installing and reseting a counter I have a step by step below.

1. In Odin Flash (twrp 2.6.3.0)

2. Use adb to reboot recovery (adb reboot recovery)

3. Flash custom rom (T999_4.3_UVUEMJC_deodexed2.zip)

4. Flash custom Kernel (T999_AT&T_UCUEMJ2_Insecure_kernel.zip)

5. Installed and used 'Triangle Away' to reset Custom Binary Counter to 0 (Optional)

6. Use Odin to flash official MJC ROM (Grabbed from SAMMOBILE.COM)

Phone is back to stock and working, It still has the 'Warranty Bit 1' set though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nickcaper:
With the S4 for Tmobile , Ive tried this method, Knox does not allow any kind of write to thhe phone using odin.

It says FAIL every time. Triangle gone also us useless.

WHat samsung has done is placed a set of rules in the bootloader which checks teh phone to see if it fits samsungs rules as a legitimate rom, modem and kernel.

If your phone doesnt have a match for any of these it wont let anything install.

For me, I cant install a 4.3 factory rom. Somehow knox knows Im nolonger factory and now will not let me go BACK to factory. It makes me stay out of warranty so I cant get a refund or any warranty work.

I can install some custom roms but some dont work. It has something to do with the kernels they use. It seems there must be certain requirements knox needs to allow installs and this also is dependent of whether your phone was rooted before or after knox was installed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] toeshot:
When you say it fails, is it Odin that says fail or will the phone won't boot? when I odin the official 4.3 ROM it says it fails at the end but the ROM actually installs and runs.

Have you tried booting the ROM after a failed attempt? I would be curious to know if it works or not. Wish I had a S4 to test with :(

I've had the white and black Galaxy Note 3. I must say that black one felt much better in the hands and has a better grip with the PU leather on the battery door compared to the white one where it feels like hard plastic and has no grip. I currently own the white one and do not like the way it feels, I ordered several battery covers from amazon and ebay and they all lacked quality. However, this one not only looks amazing, but feels great just like the material they used on the black note 3 back. Best of all, it's the same exact size and weight of the OEM back cover, doesn't add any additional bulk or weight. It's a steal at only 9 bucks and free shipping too! I received mine in less than 2 weeks. Comes in several differen colors.

[Sony Xperia M] bfbones:
Is it possible to swap the sdcard-mounts?

ext-sdcard = sdcard0

internal storage = sdcard1

It's annoying coming from an older device and all images aren't loaded -.-

Already tried some steps via adb, but it's impossible to umount sdcard1, but I am working on it. Maybe I make a script.

Any cool ideas?
[Sony Xperia M] ansebovi:
if u r having xperia M ...then there is already two types of swapping for it..search in Xperia M android Development

one has the swapping like u said and another has swapping with data from playstore saved in sdcard1 [default it will go to sdcard0]

but if u r using M dual..i think u need to find a way..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raysalmon:
So I currently have a 4.3 Purity Rom Nexus 4 and wish to do a fresh update to 4.4 (s). I'm in Fastboot and am unlocked.

I downloaded the factory image from Google, extracted, took the .tar file and dropped it in the 'google factory image to flash' folder in 'Unified Android Toolkit"... As I selected to flash my factory image, everything loaded fine and checked out on Skipsoft, it even flashed the radio with no fuss, but each time I try it always stops and says: "error: cannot opening system.img"

Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balus3u:
I suggest you to try the wugfresh nexus toolkit , I found it to be more easy to use most of the time than skipsoft's .You don't have to extract the factory image while using wugfresh ,and it is normal to see two error like missing img ..I don't remember the exact error but in the process wugfresh toolkit mentions that.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] speedfreak007:
Hello,

I'm using growl v7 at the moment on my galaxy w and it's very smooth (i was really surprised by it), but from time to time, the phone just lags as hell. I'm using the following productivity apps:

- any do

- gmail

- imap account

- outlook app

- swiftkey

I don't have facebook installed and use light browser. I also installed turbo boost.

I don't need the latest version of android, I just want a rom that keeps on running fast with the productivity apps i mentioned. do i have to go back to gingerbread or ics?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] speedfreak007:
I'm running OneOfAKind v30 and Hurtsky's kernel REV9 and it's simply flying. I don't mind the somewhat dated UI, cuz now the phone doesn't lag and keeps doing what it's supposed to do. Much better than 4.2.2 and 4.3.1 IMO
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] XR-7:
I would also choose Stock or CM9 - and if you need the camera often, then there is no way around stock, in my eyes.

Unfortunely the Camera in CM9 is barely ok for daily usage, in my opinion.

If the cam is not much needed, CM9 is a major step in terms of smoothness, although the Stock-ROM's overal performance is solid.

If the decision results in CM9, i would recommend to use the vanilla-version - modded editions are rarely maintained or really testet, and you never know if there will come the one bug that causes you trouble in your producitvy apps / missed phone call.

// edit: Ok, sorry, i had not seen that you already made a decision ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CRIME INC.:
First off, I'd update twrp to the newest version. 2.6.3.4 I believe. Second you need stock ROM,stock kernel,stock everything. So you may need to fastboot flash the stock images in order to update. Or just sit tight a day or so and wait for the source to be released,so you won't have to reroot, and just flash an updated 4.4.1 rom

I downloaded 4.4.1 zip, and revert volume mod to stock zip, saved to phone.

Made TWRP backup

reflashed the stock kernel via fastboot

fixed my renamed files in /system/app

Made sure SuperSU survival mode was enabled

booted into TWRP, flashed 4.4.1 zip

Phone rebooted and i have 4.4.1 with sustained root.

Reflashed faux kernel via twrp

Speaker volume definitely increased, no more need for FauxSound or the Volume Mod.

There are a lot of posts about getting a Bluetooth headset to work with Microsoft Voice Commands properly, I think we can say that unless there is a new bluetooth stack, we have given up hope.
