[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
It is true, I know you are having a hard time getting your head around it, but the i9300s sold in China have issues. The bootloader is different. I spoke before with a dev on here, odia, who suggested ways to fix the issues. I suggest the OP have a look at odia's threads.

To make something clear, using dd commands to re-write my bootloader does not work, but some have claimed success. Worth a shot, as it also has not bricked my phone. I have tried using dd to re-write sboot, param, and tz, but have had no success.

On this phone, mine is CHU, these seem to be locked. It seems the providers of the phone in China reworked the partitions in some way. Unless you have a gt-i9300 with a CHU or CHN product code, I would suggest you refrain from claiming the problem does not exist.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hierarchy666:
I did this method before... after that i rebuild the efs folder with z3x. Mine was flashing wrong stock rom. Accidentally flashed CHN stock rom. No way i could flash other stock rom besides CHN but i could only do it with the method you described above.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tencen:
Thank you very much for your reply. Actually it's a great pleasure to find somebody who really understand the situation. I was bored and tired replying to those who say all GT-i9300 are same and none has a locked bootloader

GT-i9300 is the international variant of galaxy s3. Even though officially there are no variants of GT-i9300 ( except GT-i9300T) they have simply made this GT-i9300_CHN a variant of GT-i9300, by flashing a stock rom in which gapps have been replaced with Baidu and putting a locked bootloader in order to make it the only usable rom with this phone. My phone GT-i9300_CHN is not operator locked or country locked. It's really unfair that they have made this phone useless. They really have no right to do such thing to this international variant of Galaxy S3. I hate this, what's the use of an android smart phone (specially one like Galaxy S3) with no Google apps? Baidu can never replace Google in android. (at the time I bought this phone I was new to android and this is my first android smart phone. So I wasn't aware of this difference before before buying)

Ok. So what do you think if I flash a different bootloader on this phone ? I found a small collection of GT-i9300 bootlaoders on XDA. Linkhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189063. (I'm new here, so pardon me if I'm asking a stupid question)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tencen:
Thanks for your reply. According to your post I think your GT-i9300 was not bought in China and it's not this GT-i9300_CHN firmware what was installed by the company. It was you who flashed the Chinese firmware and now you cannot get rid off this firmware. Is that accurate ? If so , please let me know which firmware you got pre-installed when you bought it.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
If you can flash thru odin, ur bootloader is definitely not locked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hierarchy666:
Downgrade bootloader to ICS 4.0.4 flash this through CWM. With this file you can easily reset the stupid flash counter with triangle away.

I9300XXBLH1_I9300OLBBLH1_SIN My original rom when i bought it.

Dummy EFSv1 file for repair (Please backup your original EFS before downloading this and save it into your computer)

But you have to repair the EFS with Z3X and the s/n with SRS (free tool) this file is flashable using odin thus it will make your imei and s/n default 0449+ & s/n 0000.

No other DIY method. If you want to know how drop me a PM. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tencen:
Thank you very much. Just let me know whether it's possible to solve the problem of the bootloader with this method. I mean is it possible to install a stock rom with google apps or it only let us to use "triangle away" to reset the flash counter and repair IMEI ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
It shld allow u to install rom with gapps. Supposedly tat is a stock rom which seems to be.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TECHgig:
hi

i am using Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos i9082, pls suggest me

the best App for Battery Saving.

THANKS
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iceyhotguy:
There is no such thing as a good, let alone the best, Battery Saving App. Battery Saving App only provide a placebo effect and even at times end up using more battery than before.

If you want your phone to last longer in terms of day-to-day battery usage, tweak it yourself.

- Disable/Remove all bloatwares that you don't use through Settings > Applications > All applications

- Use apps like Greenify and BootManager to limit the apps starting and running on their own in the background when you don't want them to

- Frequently clean the recent apps menu by Long-pressing Home button

I can say this because my phone lasts 16-18 hours on heavy use and 28-32 hours on regular use by following all of the mentioned above.

[HTC One V] soumojitdas:
Hey Guys! First of all congratulations on buying our Beloved One V and secondly on having gathered all the courage required for Rooting and Flashing on this tiny friend of ours! :laugh:

Now the first thing, I am not going to tell you how to root your phone, because there are already many threads on about it. So I'll be sharing my own experience and the mistakes that I've made; so that you guys, all the newcomers don't do the same mistake and suffer as myself!

Remember always to flash proper kernel with the desired ROM of tours. This is the most important thing!!!! ALWAYS FLASH PROPER KERNEL!!! It is usually included in the ROM zip and named as "boot.img". If you are not S-Off; you have to flash this image using the fastboot commnands in the fastboot usb mode! Always flash this zip othewise your rom will not boot up and cause you troubles.

Now what happened with me(Over a year ago) was; I rooted my one v and was very excited to flash and try new ROMs. At that point of time I didn't study very well about the Kernel thingy and after flashing a Sense Based ROM I tried a CM 9 without flashing proper kernel! And that's it! My device won't boot up and my god I was scared like hell and finally ended up going in the service center; where after almost a month I got a estimate of Rs. 7000 to fix my phone. But in the mean time I studied and gained proper knowledge and obviously I didn't repaired my device at HTC. They returned my device and all I did was flashed the HEllboy kernel and it booted up.:laugh:

So guys please keep in mind to always flash the proper kernels with your desired roms(If you are not already S-Off).

Thank you guys. Hope this will help a lot of Newbies here. :):):)

This morning I updated my Omni-version from 4.4.2-20140214-n7100-NIGHTLY to 4.4.2-20140218-n7100-NIGHTLY but after that small update my wifi was turned off and greyed out to turn it on.

Any clue's why my wifi stay's off?
[General Questions and Answers] Ancientsthe:
Roll back to the 4.4.2-20140214-n7100-NIGHTLY version and my wifi was fine again
[General Questions and Answers] Ancientsthe:
After the roll back got message to update to the latest version omni-4.4.2-20140217-n7100-NIGHTLY.

Strangely this was not omni-4.4.2-20140218-n7100-NIGHTLY I got yesterday morning.

But happy about that because I think the 18th bugged my wifi and the 17th is working great.
[General Questions and Answers] Ancientsthe:
Well guess somebody else also had some trouble with the omni-4.4.2-20140218-n7100-NIGHTLY version also because it's no longer available.

The only thing that's left is the MD5 file: omni-4.4.2-20140218-n7100-NIGHTLY.zip.md5sum. :good:

My guess this post on Omnirom.org homepage from UtkarshGupta had something to do with the wifi problem I did see:

[General Questions and Answers] Mwero:
Hi Guys,

I'm relatively new in this forum but going through the related posts previously put here I haven't been able to resolve my problem.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SHV-E210K (originally from Olleh, South Korea) phone that I want to unroot using triangle away so that I can upgrade the phones' firmware.

Problem is that after installing 'Triangle Away' and starting the app, I get the below error message:

Triangle Away

Could not locate magic header.

This may be because you are not rooted, or your device is not supported. On many devices you need to be running Android 4.0 or newer.

If your device is not yet supported (but you are rooted), a dump file can be made that might help bring support to your device.

Create a dump file?

Really wanted to unroot the phone so that I may be able to do firmware upgrades on it.

Would really appreciate any assistance I can get.

Attached is the dump file, "TriangleAway.zip"

Thanks in advance.

My phone specs are:

Model Number: SHV-E210K

Android Version: 4.1.2

Hi,

Not everybody want to use Xposed stuff for various reasons... and use GravityBox just for have the 3 dot menu...

When someone made a guide to modify some parts of the system, spent some time to write the how-to, etc... no offense, but just say "you could use an Xposed module, much easier", not very nice.

It's also the pleasure to do some modifications by yourself, learn to decompile/recompile, understand some stuff, make your own mods, etc... ;)

:)

Consider we do these guides to help people to understand Android, and also because we like modding

it's funny and also interesting

persistent menu button

clear all recents

cool colored battery%

what else???

If I need something more I will install custom Roms... not xposed)
[Motorola Atrix 2] guruggk1988:
Hey guys although I am not new to xda developers , I have certain doubt's regarding installing jbx kernel , I read the post by d trail and its little above the levels for an amateur . so p.s. help me in giving a guidance to install the kernel. I am using pacman 4.3 in sys1 and mokee 4.4.2 on sys3, he battery drain is too much in mokee gets down by 10% every hour so I want to try the kernel for power optimization....
[Motorola Atrix 2] PhoenixNghi:
Ahh... installing JBX kernel, this is an awesome procedure, thanks to AROMA installer, trust me, haha

Commonly we just use BMM to install the JBX.zip like installing a ROM.zip

But there're some exceptions.. for example: we can not flash JBX on non-kexec ROMs because of ICS kernel...
[Motorola Atrix 2] mfbutan:
I think guide allready have on the jbx kernel thread
[Motorola Atrix 2] cecial:
i think you have already installed BMM.

then take mokee 4.4.2 for example,

1. download the latest version of dtrail's kernal, or Shurikkb's (because it is verified that his kernal have better battery life, you can find in dtrail's post)

2. flash it like a ROM, (boot to BMM recovery, switch to system3, then install package from ..., no wipe, no clean)

3. then enjoy, for details, please read in the post
[Motorola Atrix 2] guruggk1988:

i read the faq's about the jbx kernel, i downloaded the jbx kernel installed it now, after that what should i do , i am unable to understand the procedure

You did install it, right? So go to About and find Kernel version, you'll see JBX there
[Motorola Atrix 2] Hello_Motto:
Issues with JBX 3.0

Hello,

I have another question regarding JBX. I am running the latest version of Gummy (M.1-02-19-14), which comes with JBX kernel already integrated. I have read good things about the latest version of JBX (02/27/14 build) and have been trying to install it over the old kernel. The times I manage to load the rom with the new kernel, I have no signal and the phone appears to be unable to recognize my sim card. I have tried unchecking the exposed framework and 10% battery fix in the installer without avail. Any help with installing this latest version of JBX would be greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Atrix 2] dguamache:
Hi, I'm relatively new here, I have many doubts about the JBX kernel. I do not understand the Aroma installer. Is there any option to dial in specific?

just install the jbx kernel just like how you flash the kernel by going to recovery clicking on install zip from storage , you dont ahve to change anything in the kbx kernel everything works fine :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] guruggk1988:
i guess u better stick to shurikkb 25/2 build , its awesone , even i faced issues with the 27/2 dtrail like no signal , but shruikkb is marvelous:good:

Hi All,

I have a rooted Asus tf300t.

I wish I could increase performance, staying with the stock rom.

Right now the tablet is very laggy and slow and also some games are very laggy (asphalt8, modern combat 4), and would like to see if performance improves with an overclock.

How can i do that? Wich app can i use? is there any guide?

Thanks in advance.
[Transformer TF300T General] cmdmoto:
Have you tried GRIMLOCK's kernel, overclocked to 1.7GHZ? he has a few around here in the Dev section. Make sure that you have the right one for stock rom and make a back up.
[Transformer TF300T General] Feazzu:
Thanks for the answer.

But i don't have a unlocked bootloader, so i think that i can't flash it. I don't want to unlock bootloader to not void the warranty.

am i wrong?
[Transformer TF300T General] cmdmoto:
Yes, you will need to Unlock your Bootloader, but if you decides to go down that route make sure to you Nvflash your device first. That way in case you brick your device, you will have a way to fix it.

I bought my device refurbished and my warranty was voided after 30 days, so it didn't matter to me. Your situation might be different.
[Transformer TF300T General] Feazzu:
Ok

Thanks again for your reply

Now I think about it a little bit on and i see if i should unlock it. ;)
