Yea. It is looking like a situation of ( [MHL | Unlocked Bootloader | Basis Peak connectivity] == Select any two )

I can have MHL and an unlocked bootloader, which is what I have now. I could go back to an AOSP rom and have Unlocked bootloader and Basis Peak, but I'd lose the MHL because Touchwiz. Or I can "upgrade" to 4.4.2+ and lose the unlocked bootloader but keep the MHL and get the Basis Peak.

I have an iPhone 5S issued through work. I hate using it for personal stuff but for now I guess I will just hook the Basis Peak to it. Then I will upgrade my personal phone to a Nexus 6. I'll leave the GS3 with an unlocked bootloader as a backup phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] siriusgamer:
If you don't mind me asking, why couldn't someone take the bootloader and Knox out of 4.4.2 and make a flashable rom like they did with ML1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Kernel won't boot with old firmware and bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ls3c6:
HELP! I'm trying to odin to 4.4 to sell it, I have several USB to micro cables and several computers. In download mode or booted I quickly get "usb device not recognized" from my S3 running this almost stock rom... which shouldn't matter in download mode for odin anyway right? What do I do? Other phones including new note4 work fine with these computers/cables.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
I would download and install the drivers again. Plug it in in d/l mode and make sure that it finishes installing the driver.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ls3c6:
Upon closer inspection it looks like the last pin on the micro connector has broken :/ charges fine, data not so much

your help would be apprecited. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
If your phone is showing i9300 you have the international model. DO NOT FLASH VERIZON ANYTHING ON TO IT. You need to go to the appropriate forum for this model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Yes, you need to be in the Intl. forum. Here's a link: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deshwani:
no, it is not, i have installed original 4.4.2 firmware of Verizon i535 S3 and its installed successfully, just stick under the battery is showing i9300.. what can it be? it is refurbished cell phone or fake? can you guide me?

also i am having serious problem with waking up the phone, my screen is black when call is coming while ringtones is coming, while using it is ok but when i leave the phone for 2 minutes my screen is not waking up and after 8 to 10 times press the lock / home button it comes! while black all touch is working but not displaying. can you help me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
The phone you are describing is the i9300 international version of the s3. You may have successfully flashed i535 firmware but you are also very fortunate to not have a brick. I think that anything you do from this point forward involving Verizon firmware is at your own peril. Our software and kernel were made for a Qualcomm based phone. The i9300 is a Exynos based phone. I can't believe that it even booted.

I'm sorry, I honestly don't think that there's anything I can do to help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yea. The kernel usually bricks them. Binaries don't match that probably why it is so wonky. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deshwani:
yes it is verizon i535 qualcomm and thatz the reason its accepted that firmware, but its sticker under the battery is fake, i m having screen wake up issue thatz the reason i installed fresh rom but problem is still there, dont think so is it hardware problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Something not right if it has Qualcom but I9003 sticker. I9003 and I535 are 2 different animals. No telling what you have. It will say I535 if able to boot after flashing the firmware. We actually flashed I9003 rom on I535 without the kernel and it booted but nothing worked right. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
My only suggestion would be to Odin back to stock and see how it behaves. If you are 100% certain that it is a i535 then I suggest you use VRBMF1.tar.

With the mixed bag of firmware you've got on there now it's never going to run right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Use a program like Advanced signal status to easily get a read out on your device hardware and radios. If it says CDMA radios, you may have a Verizon model despite what the sticker says.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo

Have you underclocked the kernel at all? Maybe a slight voltage bump at minimum clock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
+1. Good call. Radios the giveaway. lol :cool:

i need a screen wakeup solutions, software is not a problem eaither it is verizon or i9300 i am ok for it, problem is screen wakeup, sometime i have to press unlock / home button about 25 to 30 times then lights up, also in incoming calls i cannot attend because screen is black! have anyone solution? is it hardware or software?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
You need to Odin back to VRBMF1 and start over from there. There is a mixture of software on your phone that is causing your issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deshwani:
how to back to VRBMF1? is it 4.1.2? and as i am on 4.4.2 and will it be install and back to 4.1.2 directly from 4.4.2 without any problem? please advise to proceed ahead
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Download this app from the Play store Device Info. This will tell us which bootloader your phone is currently on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deshwani:
first i was there as attached picture, then i installed this: ALL_VZW_I535VRUDNE1_I535VZWDNE1_1542239_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 through odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
If the screenshot is the point at which you started, that phone is not a verizon i535. It is a i9300. Flashing verizon software is not going to make it a i535. My rom will only work on a i535. You need to go to the i9300 forum or maybe SamMobile and downloaduu the correct firmware for your phone and flash it.

There is nothing more I can do for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deshwani:
but when i downloaded device info and hardware info from play store it was showing device dwvXX and i535... so isn't it correct? or device info or hardware info are not showing the correct device? also if it is i9300 then i535 software never installed on it or may it would have been bricked because it is a totally different processor
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Hopefully it will Odin back to I9003 firmware cause if flashed NE1 it is now 4.4 and it now has a locked Verizon bootloader. Would have to use safestrap to even flash this rom. Which will not work due to Kernel mismatch. Have to safestrap NE1/4.4 roms only :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Doing OK. [emoji4] Not a lot going on. Guess this phone is basically dead except for cm and the other derivatives. The 4.4.2 fiasco just kinda turned me off. I haven't done anything in the last several months except a couple of small mods for the s4.[emoji53]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I hear ya, brother. Well, I think I'm going to try the HTC One M9 or the LG G4 next. Nexus 6 is too big to me and the S6 is not tickling my fancy. I was dead set on the S6 Edge, but $300 for 32gb & NO expandable memory? No thanks.

The M9 has the micro sd still and so will the G4, from what I've read rumored about the G4. I keep reading about the M9 & how HTC overclocks a cheaper processor to get certain high speeds, etc etc., so I'm leaning G4. Idk just yet but my GS3 works just fine still & I'm actually about to try LP5.1 CM12.1 now. I was on CM11 for the longest. Happy and healthy, brother O&S. Talk soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
Busted my moto X second gen the other day. Got N6 (thank God all company phones lol) N6 is huge but as dog said, you get used to it. I just had to reinforce the front pockets on work shirts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
That LG G4 is looking real sweet to me though. I still love my GS3 though, it cracked a few months ago and I went & had it repaired bc it's too damn good running LP 5-5.1 CM12. Lol.

I'm kinda sorta thinking about getting the Moto X. Looks like they at least have "kinda-root" now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
I really like my X 2nd Gen. It's a good device all around. That was until I broke it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Lol. [emoji13] Haven't seen it in person. Is it considerably smaller than the n6?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
Ya. Its much smaller probably about same as s4. It just the right size.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Great. That's just what I'm looking for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skyss07:
Hi guys, I am now planning to install this rom in my GS3 SCH-I535 having MF1 4.1.2 version. I want to ask a question if after I flash this rom, other people says that it is recommended to install its modem version which is ML1. What if I want to go back to 4.1.2 and I already installed the modem version ML1. Can I still go back to 4.1.2 with MF1 modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You can go back to anything as long as don't update bootloader. Can use any modem you want. Don't upgrade bootloader. Once upgrade the bootloader you are screwed. This rom I think is 4.3 but runs on unlocked bootloader. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skyss07:
Thank you for your clear answer sir. Much really appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I'm on N6 but my son lost phone so he is running my S3 on ATT. This rom is as hacked as it gets for S3. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skyss07:
I just want to update my version from 4.1.2 to 4.3 and also try others stuffs like CM or anything build on it. Although this is not my first flashing this kind of things but I need to make sure that I am on the right track now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Will not stay with CM. The signal sucks as they have to build RIL for this device. There some nice options for CM but device will be broke and unusable. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skyss07:
Last question, if I want to go back to my previous stock rom which is 4.1.2 with MF1 modem. I have a Nandroid Backup though, If I restore it, thus my modem and firmware will go back to MF1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Roms and backups do not contain modems or firmware.

HaHaa. They dreaming. Takes JTag to downgrade it. Then can't run anything over ML1. due to kernel restrictions. This rom was the last for upgrade on original unlocked bootloader. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Yep, kinda turned me off if you couldn't tell.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] user32:
Thank you to all for making this happen. Great Job !!! I too almost took the ota. Not to take anything away from the good work....just had Qs.

1 can I use the corporate security fix for emails so I I'm not forced to use a pin?

2 I've been on synergy and got use to some of the little things....

-How do I unlock additional features like lock sound and slow and fast motion(rarely use it but good fun with the kids). I was hoping cam features would be similar (like drama mode).

-Also noticed when friend tried to share a vid via group play...it wasn't an option. Maybe it's a s3 shortcoming ....no biggie.

-I second the request for widgets on lock screen

- any known Samsung Kb with numbers that work? Ie note 2 s4 keyboard. I tried several ports but none worked for me

Lastly, for now that is lol, is there a mod that would allow the rotate the lock screen....helps when phone is docked in car in landscape...

Sorry for all the Qs, just so use to synergy and want to stick to 4.3

I had more Qs but some of the folks on here answered a bunch of me already...so thanks to all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] caveritt:
I literally have everything and more than I have ever had on any TW rom. This thing rocks. Way smoother than any other ROM I have ever used including CM11. I love this thing. With the xposed modes, this thing is soooooo customizable. I am just shocked at how happy I am with this thing. The only thing that I see else where that I would love to have is the mutli-window functions from hyperdrive on the S4. One of my employees has it looks really cool, but I will be happy with this until my S3 is dead.

Thanks again for all you devs and themers do. You guys are amazing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Its not necessary to freeze or remove apps using TB, you can use settings. And anyway apps you never use don't cause a problem anyway, If it makes you feel better hide them or disable them, but it won;t make your phone faster. Better to leave them there and disable by settings,

Play Store

First thanks to all the devs that have made this happen. I do have one small issue. The play store won't load. Says no connection with the retry button. Have had this happen in the past and it has kept me from using other roms. Not sure how to fix it. I have deleted cach and such for google play services, framework, search, play store and got no where. Tried creating a new android id with TiB and restoring an old id. No dice. Removed my account and readded it. added a different account. all with no change. removed my account, rebooted phone and then added the account back. nothing. getting frustrating. cant seem to force it to work. rebooted numerous times.
