[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I don't think it's possible to use the recovery we're using since we aren't using the same bootloader, so he might end up hardbricking it if he flashes it. Don't quote me on this though, since I'm not 100% sure.

Philz recovery might work though, but again.. I don't know. OP, Do NOT flash anything until you're 101% sure.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ryuken11221:
Well from what I read its not stable and its testing I don't like jumping into any flashing unless its a sure thing but that's really the only thing that's really stopping me from using it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ryuken11221:
That's is exactly why I'm hanging back and waiting it out if it doesn't come well then I guess its ment to be.....?

Spent the whole day trying to improve my wake locks... Or reducing them.

Does everything look good? Room for improvement?

I'm using a 6400mAh cell.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Uhm, that is awesome, especially given your use of Chrome, Facebook and YouTube.

It'd be nice to see the wake lock graph from the second battery screen, but I'd say your looking quite good. Also wondering the brightness level (auto, 50 percent, &c).

Aside from these few items of curiosity, overall a very good baseline. Thanks for sharing!

I'll show you it if you like. I'm using 50% screen brightness. Mostly WiFi, with a good dose of LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Do you have deep sleep app? Doesn't look like it, based on the dual draw for both mobile networks and WiFi. I'd say, given those results, you would only get better by adding a deep sleep option.

Overall just great performance and benchmark. Keep plugging away.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mansevolver:
What you're seeing is me manually switching between WiFi on and off. I have LTE in my home. So when I switch, WiFi off it goes to LTE by default.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Yeah, I will have both running concurrently or manually switch, but deep sleep app is one that'll provide the means for those two bars to halt and then come back on when your phone screen is off long enough. The bars for WiFi and network would have breaks in them if no items pushed through (messages, phone calls, &c).

Also, check to see if WiFi scanning during sleep mode is set to either never or only when plugged in (from settings choose WiFi, menu, advanced) instead of always. Another item in that submenu (there are a ton of WiFi options on this phone) is automatically switching from mobile network to WiFi. You can try it on or off to see which works best for you.

These merely delay the inevitable...devs and the manufacturer can provide tools to assist with battery drain while your screen is off, but they can do little to help with power draw while your phone is awake, since how you use it drives much of the depletion rate.

That extra capacity battery is pretty awesome, but how much extra time you get from it depends a lot on how you use your phone.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for confirming my results. Yeah I have WiFi scanning off. I get a solid 5 hours screen on time with stock cell.

I get 10.1 on extended cell.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
Hi

I have a Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M, which is already rooted and running 4.1.2. I just tried installing new ROMs on it via TWRP. First I tried Omni Rom kit Kat, then CM11, then CM 10.2, as well as 10.1. Every time it didn't work. I loaded the ROM and the corresponding GAPPS via SD card, wiped data, system, dalvik, cache, then tried installing from ZIP. I don't know why none of them worked. I read Omni ROM may not, and may only work on the ATT S3, but CM10 not working? I softbricked the phone a few times in the process, but was smart enough to back it up, and am currently at square one. Can someone help please?

I want CM11, or better yet Kit Kat!

Thanks in advance

Edit: I have the latest version of TWRP, 2.6. something
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I had problems installing Roms too until I flashed the latest CWM.

Also, I don't recommend updating your ROM to stock 4.3 unless you have to.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I tried with CWM and got a status 7 error
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What version of CWM are you using? You should be on 6.0.4.5.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I am using CWM 6.0.4.5
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What errors are you getting during installation? You have a i747m or i747? The d2att is the i747 (i.e. s3 on AT&T)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I am getting status 7. I have the Rogers I747M, but the d2att I heard works for the M model as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
Does the phone need to be unlocked? Does it have to do with the bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Under About Phone, what device do you have? Is it d2att?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I have SGH-I747M. Baseband version 4.1.2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
So you're running a Bell or Rogers version of stock rooted 4.1.2?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I think so, pretty sure it's stock. Yes, it's rooted
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I was on stock 4.1.2 and flashed to a stock 4.1.1, unlocked the phone using a free method and went back to stock 4.1.2.

I'm not sure why you're having problems. I flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM from here for my Bell s3: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

I then loaded Philz Touch Recovery and was able to flash Cyanfox, CM11, and Validus13 which are all based on 4.4.2.

I would avoid 4.3 bootloaders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
So it may be because the phone is locked? That seems to be the only difference between yours and mine. That and Philz touch recovery, but does the recovery program matter? I tried these ROMS with TWRP and CWM. Both latest versions
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You mean carrier locked? That shouldn't make a difference.

Since you're on stock 4.1.2 and have never been on stock 4.3, you could also flash the 4.1.1 stock rom, carrier unlock your phone, flash Philz, and then try to flash a rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
You mean unlocked from the carrier? If you're saying being carrier locked is not relevant to flashing a new ROM, then the only difference is that you used Philz recovery. Man, I just want some KitKat already on my phone. The bootloader wouldn't have anything to do with this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If you're on stock 4.1.2, you should be fine. I had problems flashing with TWRP so I went with the latest release of Philz. I was able to flash 3 different KK ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
Okay. I'm going to try Philz. Is there a good KK ROM you recommend? Also where can I find the Gapps for KK? I got it somewhere before, but I can't find it on goo
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
Which version of Philz do you use?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Get the tar or zip version from here. Tar can be flashed in Odin under PDA and the zip can be flashed from another custom recovery: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att

More details and and installation instructions are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860

I like Cyanfox myself. You can download it from here: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=d2att/

Gapps are here: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=_gapps/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
Thanks so much for you help. I just tried flashing Philz from CWM. Status 7,again, just like every other time.

I read back, and it says trying to install d2att, but my device is d2mtr. I'm confused, I looked it up and that's the S3 on MetroPCS. In about device, it says SGH-I747M which is Rogers, and that's the network it's on. Should I just try getting a d2mtr ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
That's probably why it is not working. The get prop line in the ROM's updater script is expecting a d2att, not a d2mtr.

Where did you get the phone? Rogers? What's the baseband?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I bought the phone used from someone. Behind the battery, and under About Device it says it's SGH-I747M. Baseband is I747MVLDMF1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
That is the correct baseband for Rogers/Bell/Telus which may be the same baseband used by MetroPCS in the USA.

Is there any Rogers software on the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
No bloatware. Removed the junk a while ago. There is one Rogers app I elected to install, though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I read somewhere else I may have to edit the ro.build.prop or something like that, and that it's a common issue. But I read it on threads that are at least one year old. So I don't know if that issue still exists or not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can force the ROM to install by altering the ROM's updater script but I would not do that because that could brick the phone.

I also looked on the Samfirmware website and could not find any firmware for a Metro PCS siii.

Can you force the phone to work on GSM only and still make a phone call? Are you currently on LTE?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I can find CM11 for d2mtr no problem.

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2mtr

I don't know about only GSM, but I've always been on LTE
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Here are the specs for the phone: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2412242,00.asp?tab=Specs

Do you have the GSM option under mobile networks?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
There is an option for GSM only
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Can you make calls on GSM only? I'm asking because the MetroPCS s3 is CDMA and LTE according to different websites.

I could not find a version of Philz for your phone but there is a version of CWM here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
CWM latest is installed and working. I backed up and restored using it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Did you install the d2mtr version?

Looks like ROMs are available for the d2mtr s3 in the Sprint forum. For example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2351024
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
GSM only didn't work. It said no network available
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
Nope, CWM is the d2att I think
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Your phone will not work in Canada unless it can connect to LTE networks and this leads me to believe that you should flash a recovery and rom that matches the MetroPCS designation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I don't think I have that MetroPCS version. I found this to be the model number for that phone.

SCH-R530 for Cricket Wireless, U.S. Cellular, MetroPCS

Mine is SGH-I747M on the actual hardware of phone, and under About Device. If it's American, it must be unlocked. How can I tell if it's carrier locked?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Rogers operates a GSM network in Canada and I would have expected the phone to operate in GSM mode like the i747m from Bell/Telus and i747 from AT&T if it wasn't a CDMA/LTE only phone. You can enter your imei here and check it: http://www.mobileincanada.com/ Maybe the website can give you more info based on imei.

Is it possible the previous owner flashed incorrect firmware onto the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
No idea. I flashed this when I got it a few months ago, but I forgot how. I think it was CF-Root.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I'm beginning to not want to anymore. Maybe just try out CM11 on my Nook tablet, and wait for the S5
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I may try flashing d2mtr CM11. I softbricked before and I always restored no problem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I think cf roots the os but doesn't load a ROM. Do you remember which rom you loaded? Flashing the metro pcs ROM may have flashed the wrong radio onto your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
I did the right ROM. I followed a guide for my model phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Did you get the firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-I747M&pcode=RWC#firmware ?

That link is for the stock Rogers firmware and would not list your phone as a d2mtr.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
Not sure. I do have the correct firmware, I'm without a doubt sure of that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If your phone is an i747m, then it should work via GSM only. Maybe it has the wrong modem installed. Seems odd that your device can't accept a d2att rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jay_xander:
Are you saying Rogers S3s are only GSM? As in no LTE?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If your i747m were running the correct firmware with the correct modem, I would expect it to make and receive calls while is GSM only mode.

Rogers, Bell,and Telus s3 phones support GSM, HSPA, and LTE.

If i boot into recovery it only gives me the option to download a custom OS or restart my phone, which does nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svaike:
Going to sleep I put my phone on the charger. When I woke up it was boot looping and damn hot even to hold. I managed to turn it off, went to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik cache - after that it booted normaly (it seems). During all night (~7h) it managed to charge only up to ~45%.

The problem that I have now:

when the charger is connected screen keeps locking up and unlocking rapidly - there is nothing I can do.

I am using latest LiquidSmooth rom.

Any ideas what the hell is happening?

Edit: setting "stay awake" in developer options helped to solve the issue with rapidly locking up and unlocking while charging. Still it's a mistery what has happened
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:

[HTC One S] bilal_liberty:
cm are good too on villec2, camera works although

Best aosp roms r avalible for ville (s4)
[HTC One S] KidCarter93:
As Flashalot mentioned, these types of threads are not allowed on XDA.

The main reasons for this are;

* It often causes arguments/disputes between users of different ROMs.

*It seems quite disrespectful to ask which is the BEST (I'm sure that's not your intention but that's how it appears).

The best way to find out which ROM is most suitable for you is to try them for yourself. Even though doing so takes more time, it gives you a proper opportunity to find out which ROM features you most prefer and you may also discover a brilliant ROM which wasn't even suggested by others.

For the reasons mentioned above, Thread Closed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MattDusza:
So I tried reading some other threads, but honestly, alot of it just sounds waaaaaay too technical to me. I have a rooted 4.1.2 Verizon S3. Im getting the OTA notification to instal 4.3, but I cant install it until I go back to stock and then install it after Im unrooted. But I dont know if doing any of this is what I'm getting for what Im loosing. I dont know what a difference in modems will make, or things like that, but the big one I see is that it locks out Bootloader and able to install custom roms. Does that mean I also loose my ability to boot into Clockwork Mod? Or the ability to boot to the rom installation screen (Vol Down, Home and Power, then Vol Up)?

So can someone just help me out, and to pull a phrase from the reddit book, explain it to me like im 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
OK, if you update to 4.3, it will lock your bootloader and you CAN NOT install custom rom/kernel or recovery (CWM/TWRP) any more. Your phone will be just like stock phone with stock recovery. The only option is you still can root. Just FYI, there is a work around called safestrap, basically it allow you to install custom recovery (CWM/TWRP) on a separate partition and so is your custom rom, don't want to get into this too much). Hope you got your answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MattDusza:
Thanks. Thats really what I wanted to know. Do you know if this is something that will most likely forever be permanent or something that a fix or workaround to re-implement that ability back in the future?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Based on history, we never hack the bootloader, the reason we could unlock the bootloader is there a leaks. So I won't hold my breath on this...However, currently we have a work around which called safestrap, an app that use a separate partition to install custom recovery and rom, kind of dual O/S. The negative is it support limited custom rom and cut down the storage space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
I have faith that loki will work for our phone. If it does all we would need to do is lokify our aosp rom after we flash them in safestrap or have a pre edited rom. I think all we need to do is have the right aboot.img or someone who knows more about what to do than myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MattDusza:
Is there a version of safestrap for the S3? I can only find ones for the s4 and the note 3 for samsung products.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Its in the development section. And just a FYI I was wrong Loki will not work with safestrap unless hash code applies the Loki patch to safestrap. I have a strange feeling Loki exploit is patched for our boot loader but we will see.
