[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
So I'm probably going to be selling my S3 in a month or 2 and moving over to AIO/Cricket ... ie. at&t/gsm.

Not sure which device I should go with. I'll most likely buy a phone off ebay; with $350 being the ceiling.

Nexus 5 is tempting, but we're more than halfway thru the nexus cycle and I've heard iffy things about battery life. A camera at least as good as the S3 and near-stock android experience are important features to me (if I can flash bug-free AOSP roms that's fine)... 32gb of storage thru internal or microSD would be good too.

Anyone else in a similar boat? Thoughts?

I'm trying to follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705260

But the instructions don't work for me. The only way I can make Odin detect my phone is if I start the phone normally (no usb debug, no download mode), connect the usb cable, and when prompted on my phone, select 'firmware update (kies)'.

Then the box on Odin goes yellow as OP says, and it's writen 0:[COM3]

Is that correct? Can I go ahead with rooting like this? I'm going to be installing Beansprout.

Edit:

I tried it anyway, and it failed (0 success 1 fail)

How can I get it to be detected in download mode then?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Hey there,

I am assuming you have no trouble getting into download mode, and Kies is not running at the time?

Kies didn't work for me when it came to appropriate drivers. I ended up using generic Android drivers for stuff like ADB and download mode. The drivers in this package may work for you:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Y.June:
Unfortunately the new drivers didn't help, it's still not detected while in download mode, only when the phone is booted.

Yes, I can enter download mode (robot with a shovel).

When I first tried, Kies was running (didn't know it wasn't supposed to). I uninstalled to be sure it wouldn't run. When that didn't work I installed it again but made sure to close it before trying Odin.

Does it matter if usb debug is on or off? The OP doesn't say either way.

The phone is only detected in Kries firmware update mode (shows up as COM3) or Usb debug mode (shows up as COM4)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
State of debug mode shouldn't matter, only matters for ADB (I think). But I would leave it on just in case.

I don't think the availability of COM ports makes any difference either.

Sorry, I am out of ideas for now.

Beanstalk install instructions:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2091900

Coming from Froyo(2.2) Gingerbread(2.3) or ICS(4.0)
Obtain CWM, this can be done using Jscotts Odin back to stock (Follow instructions and use SGS kernal flasher to obtain CWM)
Run Qksters IMEI backup script here
Make certain you are on ICS, this can be done by flashing Entropy's CM9
It is recommended now that you remove your SD Card
CWM: Wipe Cache / Factory Reset
Install ROM
... The package will start to install..
... Phone will reboot into the install screen again...
... Continue to install [Automatically] If not manually flash again
... Phone will reboot again and be at the recovery screen...
Install Gapps
CWM: Wipe Cache Partition
CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot

So the idea is to get gingerbread on my phone (with Odin) and then use SGS kernel flasher to install CWM.

If I understood that right, I wonder if I can just use SuperOneClick to install gingerbread, then use the kernel flasher to install CWM.

I do have the kernel flasher on my froyo, but I guess it needs to be gingerbread.

Edit: well, scratch that, 2.3.3 superoneclick download not available :/

Edit: firmware 2.2 is froyo, right? I mean, it says that, and build number froyo, but my kernel version is 2.6.32.9

Alas, another edit! I could try installing jellybean (guide page 1, page 2) but again, that needs superoneclick for which there is no download available unless I'm mistaken.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
2.2 is Froyo. Kernel Version 2.6.x has to do with the Linux counterpart, not much to be concerned about at this point.

My concern with SuperOneClick is that if something goes wrong, you will be unable to flash back to Froyo. Best to get Odin working in Download Mode first.

A quick search ("no odin in download mode") found this thread (on a different Samsung device):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2561137

So your fix may involve a different version of Odin, a different USB cable (and as a note from some place else) you may want to make sure you are not using a USB 3.0 port (2.0 preferred), and connected straight from the motherboard (no hubs). This may not be a requirement for Odin, but I've seen the recommendation (and it's a requirement for certain HTC tasks).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Y.June:
I got Odin to work and install! After uninstalling drivers and rebooting over and over, and installing the samsung driver that was in that link you posted.

Thanks!

This is what I was typing before I got it to work so I'll post it anyway. It might be helpful for someone:

I found a samsung.com link for installing gingerbread. I can't link on forums yet so just google this:

I did try it,it was detected fine, and started installing after Kris Mini put the phone in download mode. But a bit after installing it failed. However, the website does have some more troubleshooting info that could help someone. The website does say kries 3 is not compatible with this model, you have to download kries mini.

Here's the troubleshooting info:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OfficerJimLahey:
Glad I could be of help. If the ADB/Driver package post was helpful, feel free to thank it. :)

With regard to the rainbow bug, if I recall correctly the ROM's don't have that issue, so you may want to explore Cyanogenmod or Beanstalk (et cetera). I found CM 10.1 useful* (albeit with a few minor bugs), although it seems everyone has moved on to KitKat.

Just a thought. Gingerbread is a bit long in the tooth these days, but you may be set on sticking with stock for a while. (For the record, there is nothing wrong with the OS itself, it's that the app selection is starting to narrow.)

Good luck!

* I tried CM 10.2. I'm not sure if it was my phone (Rogers), or a bad download, but I could not finish the install and CWM was so borked I had to Odin back to stock and start over. I thus gave up on trying anything newer.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jucarez:
Hi there, guys.

I did a wide search in Google/XDA/whatever and didn't manage to find anything related to my problem, so I'm posting it here :good:

My S3 Mini (I8190N) runs flawless and quite smooth on NovaFusion/Maclaw 20140524. Using Gravity Box for enabling navbar (since the I8190N loses its capacitive buttons when changes the kernel) did the trick and fully usable...

Except for one little BIG bug: everytime I receive a notification (Whatsapp, Gmail, FB, SMS, calls, doesn't matter which app) while the screen is off, it reboots. Every. Single. Notification. :mad: Cause of this, my battery lasts just a couple of hours, since is rebooting non stop, and I lose a lot of important things (calls, alarms, SMS, you name it)

I tried some things:

- Installing today's NovaFusion release (didn't solved);

- Clean installing 20140524 again (nope) and clean installing today's release (nope again);

- Removing Xposed and Gravity Box (I thought it could be some incompatibility, but nope);

- Disabling lockscreen (to test if the problem was with lockscreen itself, but no).

Following the logic, it appears to be something related to notifications waking up the screen (the phone even vibrates a little before restarting again), but I didn't find any configuration related to this.

So please, anyone? Any advices? Any solutions? This issue is getting me heads off :eek:
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Strange bug indeed and i have no idea why. The vibration on boot is always there to tell that bootloader boots. Its easier to troubleshoot a black phone that way, according to the service manual.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meticulus:
Since there seem to be issues with the capacitive button lights on your device, I would assume that the problem is with BLN (Back light notification) which activate the capacitive button backlights when you receive a notification and the screen is off.

I would suggest that you check to see if BLN is enabled and disable it. There is a BLN Control App in the Play store :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jucarez:
This makes a HUGE sense! :victory:

(still weird, tho, that only the I8190N loses its capacitive buttons on new kernel, but not entering this discussion haha)

Will try this, [MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION]. Thanks in advance :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williamsss:
The camera use to work great, and It only doesnt work if I sign into my google account (works if I sign into my brothers google account).

works without signing in, and doesnt when signed in? thats very weird! uninstall any xposed if you have any installed, then try again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williamsss:
Google play services updates when ever I sign into either account, but the camera only stop working when I sign into my account. Xpposed isnt installed. and the only way to get the camera working again is to re install the rom. (signing out doesnt fix it)

Seems to work up till the part where google+ wants to upload my photos and vids then it stops working

I left it alone without signing in and it borked the camera too. I have no idea what it could be.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try this, if youre up for an adventure. delete your camera app. uninstall it from the market and delete it from /system/app/ using a root file explorer. delete the gallery as well. reboot, no camera installed, right? now flash this file in recovery, its the camera and gallery app http://goo.gl/orWkC0 thats the older camera app btw. now go to the play store, install the new camera. and try again.

I have tried all these modems *sigh* but still having big problems with networks. My phone is 60% of the time off on both sims, sometimes one does better sometimes the other.

Certain modems are better than others but are far from stable.

On my previous P780 with V51+S820.zip I had no problems getting a signal.

I'm on SLXROM v25a currently.

I am out of ideas, may this be a faulty HW?

V51_modem.S820.for.P780 (currently installed);

V16_modem_P780;

V52_modem.S920.for.P780

V52_modem_P780

I downloaded all relevant zip files from a Russian site (Lenovo-forum, i Russia).

But I did not solve my problems, I continue having the same issues described in the previous post.

If on the Lan it only works if I use local ip instead of DDNS name.

Doesn't even work (other then read, shortly) if I use the Wan ip.
