[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
Hey Guys,

I know there are several posts out there that exist which ponder upon how exactly to root the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, but majority of the threads reference to Gingerbread, and not the ICS. I previously owned a MyTouch 4G, and had rooted it, and had upgraded to this phone few months ago, as it was on a nice sale, and I would like to install CM10 on it once again. I am not familiar with the instructions as to rooting this device either, as I am completely lost.

Can someone please provide me a step by step instruction for rooting this phone so I can install ROMs? I would really appreciate it, and would love to contribute back by creating my own (updated) how-to for rooting this device.

As for specifics, this device is running Android Version 4.0.4.

Thanks!

This is the guide you need for ics:

Let me know if you have questions. First and foremost, get rid of kies on your computer, kill it with fire. Then plug in that Blaze so drivers download. Then start the guide.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
Thanks for the reply!

I got all the way upto Step 3, where Odin had given me the green box. When I reach to Step 4, it mentions to go on the ADB command, what exactly am I supposed to do? Can you happen to make that entire step more noob-friendly?

Additionally, how would I flash the SuperUser zip file? I am assuming I would run this through ClockWorkMod?

Sorry for all these silly questions!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
No, don't worry about adb, use the other method to get into recovery. Holding the volume and power buttons. Hold all three (volume up/down, power) slow count to ten, let go of the power button (keep holding the volumes) and keep holding until you get into recovery! Then once there, go to install zip, select superuser zip, flash! Rooted bro.

Some words for you. I think you'll be able to find cm10 "stable", it's not the one you want. Look through the last few pages of the cm10 thread to find the best one. Last I checked [MENTION=4145127]thomas.raines[/MENTION] 4.1.2 (cm10) version of ParanoidAndroid is available to flash, it's super stable, and super awesome. If you go above 4.1.2, there are small bugs (do a bit of reading in the op's of those ROMs), a side effect of a great piece of hardware being left behind by Samsung. If you want to go above 4.1.2, you'll need to update your recovery. Read through the development forum, that thread is in there. Any questions, feel free to ask! Happy to have another active member!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
You mentioned about CM10 by a different dev. Is the CM10 ROM offered throuh CM's site itself (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=t769) good enough? I was intending to download the most stable ROM offered.

Thanks for the great support!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
The ParanoidAndroid build is my personal opinion. The "stable" CM10 isn't that stable (I only know this by reading through the development thread for that rom). If you're dead-set on using Cyanogen the stable build isn't great (again from what I read) and there's a much better build somewhere in the development thread. The ParanoidAndroid I mentioned is CM based (very similar) and, imo, a better rom. But it's your choice, don't let me sway you. Try them both and see which one you prefer, really. But I do know the stable one posted isn't the one you want. And FYI, CM10 = 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
Haha, should of taken your word on that earlier. I installed the ROM, re-backed up everything, till I find out the Camera has that "No External Storage Message"... I will have to check out that ParanoidAndroid ROM. Thanks for the help, look's like I am on my way to rocking a rooted Android once again!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
Quick question, I couldn't find a link to the official CM10 based ROM you had mentioned, can you possibly provide the link?

If best, what is the most stable ROM available for this device? I would prefer to avoid experimenting as I am in school and don't have enough time to do so :(
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
I'm sorry man, I just realized that the version available for PA isn't what I said. That's my bad. I'll chat with [MENTION=4145127]thomas.raines[/MENTION] and see if he can provide a link or something. I'll get back to you on that one.

As far as other stable ROMs, this is AOKP, it was the first rom I Flashed after I rooted, so it has a special place in my heart. I checked the rom link, it's good:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1989825

I haven't ran it in a long while, but I remember it being stable and fast.

This is Liquidsmooth, another I ran that was also stable. I don't remember much about it but I saw that I had it in my signature for a little bit. I won't stay with a rom if it's not stable, so since it was in a sig, it must have been good:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2284763

Try these two and see what you think. If you don't like em, I'll figure something out with thomas and see if I can't get PA back up.

This is a VERY slim gapps package. I'm running it right now on my phone and my Tab. When I say slim, I mean it has Play store and all syncing abilities. That's it. No Search, Gmail, Hangouts, etc. If you want something with all the Google goodies, look around. I'm not one to run gapps with a bunch of Google stuff so I don't know where to look for an updated 4.1.2 package.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240652

So, experiment. Have fun. And if you need speakerphone, scanning camera, then you want to stay at 4.1.2. If those things aren't important, look into the kitkat ROMs, they're excellent. If you decide to go kitkat, you MUST update your recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
Thanks for the links, I will install both! You mentioned you install the slimest possible GAPPS, why is that, if I may ask?

EDIT: I reflashed the AOKP ROM, no luck. I am going to flash the other Liquid Smooth ROM and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
Sorry for the double post again, but I went ahead and installed the AOKP ROM you had posted.

When I go through CWM, it picks up my SD card that I am using, but for some reason, when I have the phone booted up, I go to my camera and get an error that reads similar to what I was getting with the original CM10 which is "No external storage available". Any ideas on how to fix this? I did hit to mount my sdcard on CWM, but no luck. Did reboots and what not, still no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
Hmm... In the camera settings, is there an option to change the directory of where a picture saves? Or, and you should check this first, open a file Explorer and go to your ext sd card. Do you have a folder named DCIM?

I don't like all the Google Apps mainly because they cause a ton of wakelocks and I don't ever use them. I use Chrome, but DL'ing that from the Play store asked me to Greenify it, keeping it under control.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
My external SD card does exist when I go to file explorer, and can access all my files on it. I cannot save anything at the moment (from Screenshot, to downloading, to viewing gallery) as I get that dang "No external storage available" message.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
Is the DCIM folder there?

Also when you download files what browser are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
After installing a new ROM, it looks like I still get the error. Any workaround to this? :(

EDIT: DCIM folder is there, if I were to download anything it would be through the browser.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
Alright, so here's what I'm thinking. The stock cameras (if I remember) don't have the option to save to external storage. It was this limitation that made me use a different camera app. So, go to Play Store and get Camera JB+, it has an option to save to external SD card. Find the option (long press the screen, go to settings) change it to external and see if that helps. Or, go into stock camera and see if it has that option. Same with the browser, within settings somewhere there should be an option to change storage location.

If none of that works, my last suggestion is to format both internal and external in recovery. Of course this deletes everything, so transfer all files you want to keep to a computer then format both. Reflash rom on clean install (format cache, dalvik, data, and system) then Reflash everything.

In fact, what did you format/wipe before you Flashed the rom and gapps? This is important and might be the issue...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
I originally was running ICS Stock, after that I flashed to CM10. After that, it was AOKP 4.2.1, and now it is Liquid Smooth's 4.2.1. When I plug my phone into the computer, I cannot access the internal memory card either (just noticed this).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
SO... I have fixed the issues!

I found the Stock ROM, flashed that, and suddenly my Camera worked again. After that, I decided to reflash AOKP, and now everything works fluidly! I can't tell what exactly the problem was, but it looks like I have resolved the issues.

Thanks a lot for your help! I look forward to learning more and contributing to the community!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
That's excellent! Glad it worked out. Just a question, before you flashed AOKP, did you do any formatting or wiping in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
I did the usual Format and wipe Cache, I usually do those every time when I would flash a new ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
As long as you're formatting system and data as well, you're good. Glad you got it working!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] darkgiant:
Haha yeah, so far so good! Really like this ROM. Thanks a bunch once again!

I read a report about some faulty code (something about a camera daemon) that was keeping the camera in memory after it was no longer needed in KitKat builds....apparently Google's working on a fix...

This could be it. Or maybe your problem is different...if you're rooted, you can try wiping cache, dalvik, and battery stats....

Hi,

My phone is not rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
are you on Wifi ? Saw your wifi always ON, but no wifi icon on your status bar.

if you are not on wifi, but your wifi always on, try to off "always scan" in the advanced wifi setting.

Other than that, you can try to off your google location. go to account, google, location. OFF it.

if still not work, since you are on stock non rooted, try to do factory reset, go to recovery (vol up + home + power), and do wipe from there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Dork Knight Rises:
You can still backup your data and try a factory reset...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sn3aks:
Hello,

one of my friends got her S3 stuck in a boot loop, it can go into recovery and it is detected by odin. So I thought I could just flash the official firmware and this may fix it.

I went over to sammobile but they changed something with the firmware section since the last time I was there.. I can't find older firmware.

The phone is I9300 and I am looking for the latest firmware for Egypt.

Do you guys have any idea what I should do?

Alternatively, I am trying to save the data here, do you know of any non wipe firmware? I am trying to get her phone up without losing data.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.

If you want the latest firmware then just download it from Sammobile.com, you will have to factory reset before it will boot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sn3aks:
I have looked into the Q&A but I didnt feel my question falls in there, as Q&A is mainly about the S3.

I have looked at the threads containing a collection of official firmware but nothing related to Egypt.

I did my search before I post. I could not reach a desirable result that is why I asked.

Apart from that, thank you for your answer. I hope someone else can help me with an answer that will resolve my problem.

Thank you.

Note: funny thing about your quote, I already mentioned I looked in Sammobile and didnt find Egypt. Missed to read that?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tovagulet:
You don't need to install an Egyptian firmware on your friends S3. You can basically install any firmware made for the GT-i9300. Doesn't matter from what country it says its from.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
I didn't miss reading that, it was irrelevant as you had missed the basics issue. Don't ignore the posting rules, they do apply to you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sn3aks:
Tovagulet - Thank you

boomboomer - I apologize if I missed the posting rules. Again, I didn't feel my question fit.

Thanks for your help

[General Questions and Answers] FFTony:
Sorry I could not tag your question due to failure with the mobile app. For starters I did not worry about using the auto-root option since I am not worried about tripping Knox counter. I prefer to flash twrp or cwm via Odin and then flash the current version of supersu from the recovery or if you are looking to install a custom Rom you can just flash it instead. Nothing against CF auto-root but this has always worked for me.

Hi Guys,

I am currently on saturn 3 custom rom, and I wanted to go to stock ICS and start new. Yes I found a topic to get to ICS using RUU but with S-OFF

Also I Found a topic to get S-OFF using moonshine, When trying to get S-OFF by Moonshine there is a warning that I should not be in ANY Custom ROM, What should I do first so I can install moonshine.

I am new in the forum so I cant post it in where moonshine topic exist. please someone help. I am experiencing hanging with this rom so i am fully decided to back to stock
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
If moonshine don't work for you, you can try rumrunner.us.

Make sure you follow the instructions!

In case, i offer also stock 4.1.2 roms for k2u & k2ul.
[HTC One SV] jhun24:
Hi thanks for your reply, I have tried it but I cant s-off it also using rumrunner.. If you give me the stock 4.1.2 can i update the phone via OTA to get 4.2.2 just like the unmod phones? Whatever may be the answer please send me the link to the stock rom.. Thank you very much! I am using K2_UL with HTC__044 cid

PS: thanks for your Saturn III, but I had a problem with the ROM, occurred twice, it stucked in boot logo the one with the saturn planet picture. and never gone to a usable phone, All I have to do is to factory reset the phone and delete all files. I happened twice :((
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
This can have many reasons, but most people report its stable.

Anyway, i don't work anymore on this old base.

Follow the link in my signature, to get the links for stock rom, because i'm away from my pc. Look under Jelly Bean 4.1.2 roms.

But i doubt, you will have success with OTA update with it. Failed already for others before! I still recommend thr S-off way.

At least some words: rumrunner is confirmed working with Saturn III, so i guess you have to check your configuration.
[HTC One SV] jhun24:
Hi again, I tried to reinstall the drivers again and it worked now.. im on s-off already. now I am ready for the next, back to stock. Thanks a lot!!

I will be reading your thread about back to stock.. :D you are great man!

Great you had success.

Please ask any questions here in the forum, not by pm.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] Cashmoney21:
Having read other case threads and looking at what's on sale from case manufacturers, I'm surprised that no one else mentioned weight. This is a hefty device by itself, and I don't want to add an additional pound or more of weight to it. Some cases available at amazon Canada weigh in at 450 grams! That's practicalally like adding an extra pound of heft to the alreasy heavy note 12.2. The idea for me at least, is to get a case that's light, slim and non intrusive. Any one else seeking the same or has found something like this?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] vagelis:
The slimmest one available is the Samsung OEM case. It adds very little thickness to the size of the tablet, maintains the same texture and soft feel, and even has some sort of magnetic hold 1/3 of the bottom of the backside, so that the front cover sticks to it, to form a perfect angle for typing (using to compose this note).
