I know the term, but I'm not 100% confident in what you mean by Nandroid. So I will just explain what I did. Prior to flashing root66, I used CWM Recovery to create a backup file on my SD card.

I downloaded ROM Manager and re-installed CWM Recovery. I then rebooted into recovery and wipe all data, wiped the cache partition, and wiped the Dalvik Cache. Then, I restored the backup I created before I flashed root66.

Next, I rebooted the phone. It's still telling me I have 12 GB of internal memory. One thing that is different from before is I have about 9GB of free space now versus roughly 1GB of free space before. I've attached a screenshot of this.

Another issue I am having, which I had before is I'm getting an insufficient storage message when I try to install certain apps. What's weird is the error doesn't come up with all apps, only certain ones. I've attached a screenshot of this error message as well. Lastly, I put a screenshot of part of my partition table in case you are able to see something I'm not, in there.

If you have any other thoughts on what might be going on, I would greatly appreciate your insight. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
What you did in CWM is the Nandroid. I didn't want you to restore anything before flashing Root66. So please can you wipe everything again and then flash Root66 ? This time don't flash CWM after Root66. Just check the Spaces.

P.S. - Continue using the phone in that fashion (Just Root66 nothing custom). For now at least.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halebopper:
Sorry, I may have miscommunicated. I restored the Nandroid after I flashed root66. I did check the internal memory space before I restored the Nandroid and it hadn't changed. I'll flash root66 again and get back to you. Please standby. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
If it still continues to be the case, this post has correct .PIT file. You use Odin to flash it. I think you know that already.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halebopper:
Thanks Perseus71! I'm on a new computer today. So I'm downloading root66 again so I can flash it. If the issue remains, I'll flash the PIT file. I downloaded the file at the link you sent me.

Do you by chance know of a good tutorial on flashing the PIT. I presume it's the same process with flashing anything and I use the PIT button on Odin. However, I'm paranoid that I'll brick my phone and prefer to be over cautious than presumptuous. Thank you sir!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halebopper:
And the saga continues... man this is frustrating!

I flashed root66 and checked the storage in settings. It's still at 12GB.

So, I did some digging on flashing the PIT file. Everything I read said to accompany the PIT file with the ROM. So, I rebooted into download mode, then plugged in the micro-USB, and Odin recognized the device. I unzipped the PIT file on my computer. I then clicked the PIT button on Odin and selected the PIT file on my machine. Next, I added the root66 ROM via the PDA button on Odin. Then, I clicked the Re-Partition checkbox so that the Auto-Reboot, Re-Partition, and F. Reset Time checkboxes were all checked. I hit start and then Odin failed on me.

Here's what Odin said:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> root66_TMO_T999UVDMD5.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> __Xmit Write fail

<ID:0/004> Removed!!

<ID:0/004> Re-Partition operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Am I doing something wrong here? Please help. Thank you again for your time and assistance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halebopper:
I think I may have really screwed up. Ever since Odin failed on the re-partition, it is no longer recognizing my device. When I go into "Devices and Printers" in Windows 8, it's no longer displaying SGH-T999. Now it's displaying "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM7)"

I'm afraid I just bricked my phone. I hope you have better news for than this. Please help when you can. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Do All of the same above but do not hit Re-partition. Here's a good Guide. Make sure you have latest Odin ( v3.09) and its running as Admin on Windows.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halebopper:
Ok. Good news. I was afraid to reboot the phone from the Download mode after Odin failed (for fear that I might not be able to get back into Download mode). However, I did reboot it, and the phone rebooted fine into Touchwiz (courtesy of root66). My computer then recognized the device as SGH-T999 once again. (Thank you Jesus!)

So, I have now rebooted back into download mode. I've download Odin v3.09 as you suggested (was using v3.07 before). I've selected the PIT file and root66 (via Odin's rebranded AP button). However, when I select the PIT file, Odin automatically checks the Re-Partition checkbox. You told me not to check that this time. Stupid question but should I just uncheck it?

I haven't done anything yet as I'm now terrified after the last experience of venturing out on my own. Waiting on your guidance. Thank you again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halebopper:
Update: I figured it was relatively low risk to uncheck Re-Partition so I went ahead and un-checked it and flashed the PIT and ROM. It succeeded. The phone booted normally. I reboot into recovery, did a factory wipe and wiped the cache partition; then reboot.

Total space is still reading 11.95GB. Although, apps do appear to be installing fine. So that issue is resolved.

I discovered an interesting piece of information. I downloaded the app Partition Table and was able to get a picture of the internal memory card (see "mmcblk0"). It says it's "unmounted." See the attached screen shot.

Any ideas on where to go from here?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
If you are up to it, get a Root Explorer such as ES File Explorer. Make sure to turn on its Root Features. (That requires granting Root Access to it.)

Now go to /Proc folder. You will see 2 files. Mounts and Partitions. Post them here please.

Also see if you CWM can mount all partitions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halebopper:
Thanks man. I'm on it, but I'll have to get back to you tomorrow. I really appreciate your continued guidance. Talk to you soon.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halebopper:
Wow. Long time. I got buried with work and marriage. Sorry. Here's the files you requested - https://www.dropbox.com/s/yj95lfa1pasn7z2/M&P.zip

Corrected T999 PIT

Perseus71,

I was reviewing the thread that this post was linked to, and this is actually a bad PIT file. According to a user on the thread, it was allegedly extracted with the wrong shell commands and does not work.

The correct PIT file for T999 32gb (as well as 16gb) can be found in this post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44674359&postcount=28

I just wanted to post to correct PIT for anyone who may stumble across this thread with a similar issue.
[Java for Android App Development] if0rg0t:
Is there an app that measures the cumulative keep awake time per app versus time ... Along with battery percentage vs time. This would be useful in diagnosing apps that have excessive wakelocks and correlating there keep awake time periods with periods of excessive battery drain. As it stands right now with apps like better battery stats and the stock Android battery app,, you only know the cumulative keep awake or wake lock time as a single number rather than as a graph plotted versus time to overlay on top of the battery drain percentage graph. One always ends up speculating as to when that keep awake time actually occurred vs the battery drain.

So ideally I would want all of those statistics that come up in the stock Android battery app along with wakelock time, such as a CPU time total CPU time awake time etc versus time. A simple way to implement this would be to listen for battery percentage drops like many of the battery monitoring apps already do, but also record all of those other statistics and the current system time at the same time.

Is there anything already out there or anyone willing to add this functionality to their existing app?
[Java for Android App Development] PsychDrummer:
This is a very late response because I found this thread through searching a question. But, are you trying to figure out if huge number of wakelocks that don't hold the device awake for very long cause battery drain? If so, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I have a wifi wakelock that kept the device awake for less than 1 min over the course of 3 hours. However, the number of wakelocks is over 2,000 so I'm trying to figure out if it is affecting the battery life.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dazbo:
Hi

A good few weeks back I had a problem with my wifi card. I own the O2 XDA Mini and the card is an SD one. It had been working fine, then all of a sudden it just stopped working. When I plugged it in, the screen came on but the LED on the card did not light, meaning it is not working.

Anyway, when the card is plugged in, everything freezes. I have been trying to get this sorted with the manufacturer who said hard reset and reinstall with a new driver.

Now, I was going to update my ROM so thought would do it all at the same time. The one thing I also had a problem with was all of a sudden my GPRS as well as my active sync comp connection did not work. Could not connect for unknown reason with GPRS and

"cannot start communications with the desktop computer. remote networking could not start due to a critical error (Error 608).

Please reconnect your device. If the problem persists, restart your device using the instructions provided by the manufacturer" comes up when I try to connect to comp.

Anyway, after the hard reset and ROM update, it worked, GPRS and activesync. Then I tried the new drivers for my wireless card and plugged it in. The same thing happened - screen froze and I lost my GPRS and active sync again!!

Now I have tried everything I know. I have been in contact with XDA but they have not replied yet.

Can anyone please help me as I dont want to do a hard reset again!

PS - I have tried uninstalling WLAN software, but it part fails due to one of the files being in use. I deleted that file manually but still no luck. I thought maybe comms is being taken up by the WLAN card and thats y i have other connection probs???

Thanks

Here is your root in english, no need to watch video.

Supersu has been uploaded too.

After root install superSU and do as promted, it will remove the installed root app.

Crap well I used it. Right after I rooted I did remove the superuser install the one I traditionally use. Deleted the original and updated the binaries twice. I guess I will have to live with it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] revjwb32:
Freegee loaded. Got twrp installed
[LG Optimus G Pro] Vicpdx18:
Well the problem with vroot is that it supposedly Logs and uploads IMEI Numbers to servers in china(possibly). The idea around that is well they could use those IMEI numbers to take a stolen phone or Chinese phone and give it the uploaded US IMEI and then create a activation outside of the US.

cant get in tried several times tried with CWM and TWRP ,,,,,, never get the back and menu button flash ,,,,, you do mean the (home) big button right Just being thorough

Kingo has removed the collection of IMEI numbers from their code and are in compliance.

vRoot may collect your IMEI so use at your own risk.

I used vroot but have always been careful of any Chinese hacking programs.

I never let my phone connect to the network before flashing it with a clean rom. I also never let my pc connect to wifi while rooting or after until I completely removed the app from my system.

Hey guys u can get nexus keys on ur CHD just by doing a simple step...

For this ur phone needs root access so it should b rooted.

And then download ES file explorer or any root explorer through which u can access ROOT folder.

After that go to build.prop and open build.prop and add this line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" just add this simple line Reboot and u r done :D

To disable in the place of 0 just change it to 1 and reboot that key will b disabled..:D

I'm on about to buy one of these phones, both on the same +- budget [280$ include shipping, tax, vat], if you have another other option on this price I would like to hear.

I want a strong phone [quad-core], durable-strong, available replacement parts [on ebay etc], xda community, good camera...

I know some of these requirements are valid to the one and non to the other and vice verse, thats why I can not decide between the both.

The Optimus G is pretty old but with better camera and 2gb ram [include sd card]

The Moto G is new, durable, strong, updated, don't realy know about how bad its camera...

Whould like for some recommendations...

thanks!

[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
My first impressions of the G Flex:

Plus Side:

-The phone is thin and light

-The speaker gets decent volume

-It's fast and does everything with pep

-Battery life thus far seems to be fantastic

-Camera seems to be very serviceable

Minus Side:

-The screen has a texture/graininess to it reminiscent of the first generation of amoled phone displays. This is very noticeable in apps such as facebook.

-Dual Window doesn't work with every app.

Overall, my first impressions are mostly positive. Despite this, I wouldn't recommend this phone to the average consumer due to the display. The display has this grainy texture to it that really shows itself in apps like facebook. While I don't think it's a terrible thing outright, I definitely can see where this would be a point of contention for many people (especially those with an eye for detail).
[LG G Flex] gamingforfact:
I just picked up the phone as well. The above posters initial impression is the same as mine. The graininess is present on mine as well. Im still sitting in my car and thought it was a defect.
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
If I go into the store to check it out, what should I do to test this? Open up a browser or specific game? Also, what brightness setting? Thanks
[LG G Flex] azharisadig:
Not sure about that, here are 3 photos with brightness 100%, 50% and 0%
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
I don't think you really have to test for it per say. It seems more like it's just something that comes with this new technology, than something that is a defect. That said, you can pretty much see it anywhere the screen is not black. It seemed very ostensible in the facebook app, and it's even fairly apparent on the lock screen. I don't think it's necessarily a deal breaker or anything (I actually don't mind it too much), it's just a bit different than what most people are used to. As a result, I think many people may see it, and consider it to be a negative, hence why though I think this is a great phone, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to the average person.
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
I'm talking about the display. A screenshot won't show that.
[LG G Flex] Evofusion:
Ah I see. I'm coming from the note 2, so 720p is all I've had :p thanks for the warning though I will check it out but I might still get it regardless while I wait for note 4
[LG G Flex] mysterioustko:
Honestly, I don't think this has much to do with the resolution, as it does with the technology that is in use. One thing I have noticed is that it is less apparent with the brightness higher. This leads me to believe this is more so a function of the technology being so new. It reminds me of the Galaxy Nexus display in some ways. I don't think it looks bad, but I don't think it's going to blow you away either. All in all, I think it's just different. If a person comes in with the expectations of a screen that they are used to seeing, they may be disappointed. If they come in with an open mind, they may find the screen to be decent.

I don't use facebook. What other apps? Tapatalk? How is it for surfing the web?
