Galaxy S3 Cyanogenmod

Hello,

I have one short question:

I'd like to change my original stock to cyanogenmod but I am kinda confused about how many versions is available...

Can you recommend me any version ?

I dont care It is Android 4.x or 5.x (C11 or C12 ?)

I just want to have ~stable soft without useless garbages and have all usefull features working (camera/ wifi / 3g ).

Thanks a lot.

I've got two Virgin Mobile L710s running 4.4.2 that I successfully rooted a few months ago. They're both running stock roms, and we keep getting prompted to install a system update. Of course, the update fails and the message returns.

Galaxy i9300 and similar korean Galaxy Pop

hi all,

i bought Samsung Galaxy Pop SHV-E220 Korean which is very similar in specification to Samsung Galaxy S III i9300 ( i visited to gsmarena to explore ), i am using it since 10 months, all is fine and rooted also. Now i want to change its stock ROM with a suitable one like CM 11 etc. custom ROM ( KitKat ).

i knew it that its all my risk to flash a ROM, i can't blame or even complain to creator/owner of it, just want to ask that as i failed to find a ROM specific for Galaxy Pop but Galaxy i9300 has some ROMs here, as both are very similar, can i flash a custom ROM built for i9300 here on it?

So my power button recently started acting up, it's super sensitive and sometimes it will be stuck and I'll be in a bootloop, or when I shake my phone the button will somehow be ''pressed'' and the phone will go off.

I have an S3.

So my plan was to make volume down my power button and disable the actual power button.

Hi, got some difficulty flashing.

Just trying to flash liquid smooth onto my old s3, but having some difficulty.

Previously loaded with a temasek rom and with devil recovery, pretty sure that the partitions had been reformatted to f2fs to boot. Well, I tried to reformat the partitions to ext4, complete wipe, install rom, gapps and then wiped cache and dalvik. Tried many times to boot, got it to load once but resulted in an unresponsive touchscreen (still works in recovery though). I didn't do anything specific to get it to boot this time, it just hung on the Samsung screen for over 10 minutes, saw a liquid smooth writing (which I thought was a boot loop) for about 20 minutes and then the intostart screen but unresponsive. Needless to say something isn't right, and it can't take half an hour just to reboot the phone!

I would go through odin, and start from scratch, but it's no longer my phone and the phone is no longer recognised by my pc (I guess the connector has been damaged, I had to get the volume buttons repaired this morning just to access recovery!). It can charge, just not specified under device manager on the pc... therefore can't seem to use odin at the moment.

Question is does anyone have a solution? Is there a specific recovery (do you have to use TWRP)? or am I doing something wrong? I've loaded lollipop onto my xperia z2, and a friends galaxy s4 but I'm facing issues with the s3... I have no idea why it just won't boot but if anyone could give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated! I've been banging my head against the wall for hours now! The only way I can get the phone to work again is to restore from my backup... something is definitely wrong here but for the life of me I can't figure out what!

I'm sorry. I linked the wrong ROM's version for your phone. I didn't see you have a S III variant.

You can find the official softwares on sammobile.com/firmwares/

Just type in SHV-E210S and you get the lastest ROM. ( the latest: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/39419/E210SKSUKNK3_E210SSKTKNK3_SKT.zip/)

You can use KIES too to download the ROM to your phone but I would not recommend it. Use Odin instead.

Steps:

1. Download the driver for your phone on your desktop computer: http://www.mediafire.com/download/a4hd8y0c1iakysk/Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.49.0.exe

2. Download the ROM and Odin 3.09 provided on sammobile.com

3. Do a factory reset on your phone. (You'll lose every data on your phone. Save them. Like photos ... )

4. Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

5. Start Odin as an administrator

6 Connect the phone to your desktop computer/laptop and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

7. Add the firmware file to AP / PDA

8. Hit the START button and wait till your phone reboots.

cleared agps, done, nothing

i dont know why when i tried *2767*3855# it didnt do anything (it were supposed to do a hard reset, but it didnt)

i have used serveral roms and kernels, nothing worked

changed modem and ril (changing ril just made me lose signal so i got it back)

i've basically done everything on earth and still nothing

tightened screws up, nothing

messed with the antennas and sh*t, nothing

NOTE: been pretty carefull doing all this, please dont tell me i screwed it because i didnt, i get my self pretty enlightened before doing anything.

NOTE 2: all the mentioned thigs i tried before are not currently on my phone cause im on 4.1.1 now, you know, tryin to make gps work.

Hi,

I try to find a ROM that supports the full features set of the WM1811 on a I9300. I have seen it a long time ago and I can't find it back using search here on xda or using Google.

Where can I find it?

What I am looking for is understanding how to extend the I2C/SPI command set from the kernel and what is involved. That ROM or kernel looked really complete at the time but now I might have a need or at least I want it was all about. I guess we are talking about kernel device drivers?? Sound very interesting.
