I spent the afternoon flashing ROMs (method: wipe cache/dalvik, format /system /preload /data, flash rom, flash gapps):

Based on kitkat 4.4.4

AOKP (kitkat 20140731)

ArchiDroid (2.5.2 and 2.5.3 - tried with Archi, Boeffla, Yank555, AGNi kernels)

Dirty Unicorns (7.9)

Mokee (44.4 20140816)

Nameless Rom (4.4.4 20140821)

Paranoid (4.5 BETA 2)

NeatROM (7.4 - tried with default and GoogyMax kernels)

Based on kitkat 4.4.2

Resurrection Remix (5.1.5)

Based on JellyBean

Stock Samsung 4.3

Not even one ROM based on kitkat 4.4.4 worked...only Resurrection and stock samsung 4.3 allowed me to use the Sworkit app properly.

Now I'm using Resurrection Remix 5.1.5 (based on kitkat 4.4.2) with the default kernel.

For the life of me, I still can't understand why it doesn't work with the latest repos of kitkat.

Under Settings->Wi-Fi->Menu there is "Wi-Fi direct". Unfortunately, I don't have any device to test it with.

Alternatively, you can try to install SuperBeam from the PlayStore (https: // play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majedev.superbeam&hl=en).

S3 reinstalling the official firmware

Hello.

My phone has been bugging for some period, right after I rooted him. Since I'm no "heavy" user, I run official firmware 4.3. but I don't know which one I shoud download and flash with Odin?

There's bunch of numbers and letters, my phone is fabricated (or something like that :) ) in Poland, but I'm from Serbia and I can use it like SIM-free. I'm not sure if I can flash it with the latest firmware listed on sammobile site under Serbia (Telekom) or I must use the polish one?

Thank you.

Special problem (network) !!!

After getting my motherboard changed by a specialist/technician, it turned out to be that the network signal wasn't as strong as it used to be. it usually took time b4 signal came up after boot or while switching from EDGE to UMTS and vice-versa. So far the IMEI at the back of the phone is different from the one in the system, so i think its cause of the change in the motherboard.

I decided to move to a custom rom from "STOCK 4.1.2" to see if it would make a difference so i made a choice of ARCHIDROID 2.5.2 STABLE(KTU84Q), but during the rom installation i selected the "Update Modem [UBUGNF1]" option which actually changed my baseband to the latter resulting to an "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY" state for the phone...... I later got some modems from the forum to flash via RECOVERY but they didnt help in restoring my connection/signal. List of modems i tried are as follows;

BVLF2

DXLF3

XXEMB1

XXEMG4

Modem-RIL XXELLA...

I am from NIGERIA so we lack developers around here so i wish to request an immediate assistance to help solve this basic problem of mine, i need a solution to bring back my network signal because everything else is working just fine.

BASEBAND VERSION

I9300XXELLA

CarbonROM

Ehndroix

L-droid

Liquid Smooth

PAC-man

Schism

SpiritROM

Temasek

I always flashed the latest stable or nightlies available with no success.

Then I tried flashing the Cyanogenmod M7 snapshot (resurrection remix is based on this) and it worked.

The M8 and M9 snapshots didn't.

This tells me that something changed going from M7 to M8 or to be precise going from kitkat 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 and above.

What changed I don't know....:mad::mad::mad::crying:

Samsung S3 SGH-i747 verizon help needed

I am kinda new here and am now totally confused from searching the forums.

I have a SGH-i747 when it start up it says verizon and so does the case but all the posts I have read state this is a att phone.

I would like to use it on Straight talk but here is my problem, friend of mine gave me this phone because she forgot her pattern lock,

now the phone just goes to a screen "to many incorrect pattern locks" and it wants a pin that my friend doesn't remember either.

So I was after reading I found out I should be able to just boot into recovery mode to fix the problem with a data wipe.

No matter what I try vol up,home,power I just boot to the same screen asking for a pin.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this phone?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinc06:
Try with Odin 3.07, change usb port and/or usb cable.

Also, if you flash stock firmwares from sammobile you will need to re-apply root.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

I don't know much about this subject but from what I've read...Yes, there is a high chance that the device will be sim-locked again.

Flashing another rom can and can not change the modem driver. It depends if the rom you are flashing has a modem driver already included or not.

...

Someone already asked this kind of questions, feel free to check these threads...maybe they can be of help

Galaxy S3 shuts down by itself

Hi,

My Galaxy S3 shuts down by itself randomly. When it is shut down, it doesn't starts up by pressing power button. I have to take out battery and reinsert it OR connect it yo charger AND then press power button to start my cell. it happens even when battery is more than 80%.This problem is consistant when I goes to an area where mobile jammers are in place.

Baseband Verion: I9300ZCLLB1

Kernel Version: 3.0.31 - 866518

Build # JZO54K.I9300ZCLLB1.F3A268.2A408

Android 4.1.2

I purchased the device as is. I believe its original model is E210S and someone tried to change it to I9300 using custom rom I9300ZCLLB1

Can any one help me for the solution of this issue.

Check the "Model" name.

If it is in fact the SHV-E210S version or any other model different from the i9300, you could try to use Odin and flash a stock Samsung firmware for that specific model

Hi chanul, have you tried reboot widget (root)? It's available on the Play Store :)

There's an option there for a reboot to Download Mode directly from the widget. Alternatively (should the worst happen and you go into a boot loop) it would be worth investing in a USB Jig. You can find these all over eBay for around £1 - £2 and it'll automatically boot the phone into Download Mode for you when the device is off. It's better safe than sorry when flashing custom ROMs.

Hope this works out for you. :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swent:
Hey there

I'm in need of some help!

Phone: I9300 international 16gb

ROM: PA 4.2 beta 2/4

Kernel: stock PA/Devil v2.3.2/Googy-Max2 v2.1.8/2.2.0/2.2.1 final

Recovery: CWM 6.0.4.6 / Philz touch 6.25.0 / latest devil recovery

Problem:

I came from AOSPA 4.2 beta 1 or 2 (think it was 2) and wanted to try devil kernel with f2fs.

So I downloaded the devil recovery found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49979584&postcount=1116

and downloaded latest PA (4.2 beta 4 04/09/2014) along with day-0 gapps minimal package.

Also I saved devil kernel to my ext sdcard. Ready to go I thought.

Rebooted to recovery...

Flashed devil recovery...

Rebooted recovery...

Did nandroid backup to ext sdcard...

formated /system /data + /datamedia & /cache as f2fs

Flashed latest PA 4.2 beta4...

Flashed gapps...

Flashed devil kernel...

Wiped data & /cache just to be sure

Rebooted...

After the first boot i got

com.android.phone forceclosing over and over again. As soon as I press the OK button the message reappears, giving me no time at all to sort things out while android is running. Next I rebooted to recovery, formated again (f2fs) did a clean reflash, rebooted and got the same problem.

So I wanted to switch back to my working rom, rebooted to recovery, formated everything back to ext4 and restored my backup.

Just to be sure I wiped /cache & dalvik-cache before i rebooted to my old rom (PA 4.2 beta 2 with googy-max2 v2.2.1).

Boot succeeded but I got the same forceclose. This was the first time I realized something just isn't right. Reboot to recovery, restored AGAIN, flashed devil kernel on top -> bootloop. Tried clean installing PA 4.2 beta 4 without custom kernel -> bootloop, switched recovery to CWM v4.0.4.6 and tried restoring my backup from there -> bootloop.

Thought I messed up my partitions, found an Odin package with CWM 6.0.4.4 included, flashed it together with 16gb .pit file and re-partition checked.

As I had 13 partitions before I can confirm via ADB that it did indeed repartition my sdcard.

Restored my backup -> bootloop, for test purposes I tried latest NeatROM light.

Booted & working like a charm. No hickups.

Updated recovery to latest Philz touch (v6.25 somewhat).

Restoring my backup or flashing PA results in bootloops no matter how eager I format /system /cache /data + /data/media before.

/efs is accessible and seems fine. /preload not so much. I noticed it just after flashing Philz touch recovery that whenever I try to format /preload it failes. Can't even mount it (not in recovery menu, nor via adb).

Could /preload (/dev/block/mmcblk0p10) not being able to mount cause these bootloops? Why would NeatROM run just fine then (Sammy based ROM)? Is the /preload partition supposed to behave like that and if not, what could I do to get things going again?.

I'm pretty desperate for help. Thanks in advance for reading that whole text!

ROM name: Cyanogenmod

ROM version and base: 10.2 stable build

kernel version and its settings: default

My phone has no signal. It was working fine with the recent PAC ROM, no complaints. I tried to switch to Android 4.4 and decided to flash Omni Rom with the said android version. I did the usual routine of wiping and not backing up (I now know why I should), unsuccessfully flashed Omni Rom and getting a status 7 error, I then changed my recovery to TWRP, learned to sideload since my sd card reader in my s3 wont work. Learned I could toggle signature verification through Touch CWM which i then went back to. I sideloaded Omni rom android 4.4, it worked, but I noticed that I had no signal bars whatsoever, the triangle is empty. I went back to Slimbean 4.3, using adb sideload. But the problem persists. Now I have CM 10.2 hoping that its RIL would do something miraculous, but still in vain. My sim works fine with other phones. I haven't gone through CMs first run settings.

I do hope someone can help me.
