[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] limpkin:
Hey Everyone,

I'm having an extremely odd problem with a second hand phone I recently bought.

I first turned it on (stock fw) the bootloader indicated a 9305. However the sticker behind the phone indicates a 9300.

I flashed TWRP & cyanogen nightly without any problem.

I then noticed that the IMEIs are different (between sticker & *#06#), both of them being valid on an online IMEI checker (9300 and 9305).

Now I also get random reboots and sometimes a "baseband unknown" problem.

Just to be sure... could you confirm that cyanogenmod wouldn't indicate an LTE connection if the HW wasn't actually LTE capable? I'm very confused...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] limpkin:
update: I disassembled the phone and I can confirm the PCB is a gt9305's...

I've unrooted, done a factory wipe several times and each time my install for the 4.4.2 OTA update fails at 28%. When I press the menu button to see the reason why I get the following error (sorry for potato quality). It says that the AT&T Smart Wi-Fi apk has unexpected contents, but I don't even have that app and I never uninstalled it either. When I go to the Play Store I can download it and it still isn't a system app. As I said, I've done several factory wipes and I was hoping that would fix it since I hate doing wipes. Any ideas?

Any way to update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 without having to install TWRP/CWM/etc? I used CF-Auto-Root since 4.0 and updated to 4.1 and 4.3 without any problems. I don't really want to deal with custom ROMs or bootloaders or anything extra. I'd just like to update to 4.4 stock + SuperSU and nothing more.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tejajuloori:
get to stock 4.3 with odin flashable file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722660 then use the stock ota file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2788012, flash it in stock recovery from external sd card, bootloader will be upgraded using this method and you may not be able to downgrade to 4.3 after this ,but it will be stock as you wanted, use towelroot apk from towelroot.com to root 4.4.2 , install superusersu from play store and update binaries
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ark42:
Well thanks for trying, but this method wipes all your data, which is kinda something I'd want to avoid...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You may be out of luck then. Why not backup using titanium backup, and/or a nandroid, and copy your internal sd content to a computer. Then update and copy sd data back and restore apps with titanium? Sure its a little extra time and effort, but you'd probably be done sooner than finding an alternative.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] internetcommand:
Hey guys. I'm becoming very frustrated with both my PC and phone for various reasons, and would really appreciate a little bit of help...

A couple of months ago, Cyanogenmod nightly updates stopped flashing via TWRP on my device. Every time I attempted to flash, TWRP would dump the file and say the MD5 checksum was missing (which I know it wasn't). I tried re-flashing my recovery with new TWRP, as well as CWM, but neither fixed the problem.

Currently, any time I go into TWRP it mistakenly thinks I have NO operating system installed on my phone, although the phone boots into the stock ROM fine.

My phone also randomly decided to stop working with my computer, even though I have HTC sync and drivers installed. I'm assuming these two issues are somewhat related, since maybe Windows is not detecting my Android phone's operating system. What's odd however is that my work PC running Arch Linux with Android SDK/MTP/whatever installed is able to detect and browse my phone just fine.

If anyone has any tips on how to fix this I'd really appreciate it. I'm tired of running the stock 4.1 ROM, I'm not even able to update it as every time the phone reboots to install the update TWRP just dumps the file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Sounds like you're using the wrong TWRP. If you haven't updated to the new partition layout yet, you should be using the official TWRP. It should work fine. If you have updated to the 4.3 setup already, then you need to use a modified TWRP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] internetcommand:
I'm using the official TWRP as provided through their site for our devices. I've tried flashing it both through the "Goo" android installer and through Fastboot on Linux.

How can I tell if I'm 4.3? Or do you just mean Android 4.3 (currently I'm still on 4.1)?

Thank you for your comment :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
If you've never updated to Android 4.3, then the "official" TWRP still won't work for recent CM ROMs.

You need one of the ones from here: http://mdmower.cmphys.com/twrp-jewel/.

[General Topics] safer than safe:
The maps are the same. You can use iGO maps on MioMap and otherway around. I have tested this. I personaly prefere MioMap 3.2 because it shows the speed limit info on every road you are on at the tima. I have only tested this in UK but if it works elswhere that will be good because I do travel on the continent and it is handy to know the speed limit sometimes.

Happy navigating

What about on a laptop?

I have the same question but I would like software for my laptop. In North America I have been using MS Streets and Trips with a bluetooth GPS receiver. The software is cheap and works well enough for me. However MS Autoroute does not have address information for Poland.

Does anybody know of software that I can install on my laptop and use with a external GPS receiver?

Does anyone know if we will be getting 1 more major update to a future version of android with the ART runtime? It is likely dalvik will be replaced by ART in the next major android update so it would be nice to have 1 more major update. Has Sony mentioned anything? It seems to Sony updates phones to 2 major versions at most. My xperia p for example started with gingerbread, got ICS and jelly bean update then that was end. Xperia Z started on 4.1 , updated to 4.2, 4.3 now 4.4 so is this the end or is there more to expect in the future?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwatch:
I am hoping someone here is able to help me as my problem is doing my nut in.

Our puppy tried to taste my phone the other week so I had to replace the entire front screen ( glass and LCD ). The replacement phone had an issue where it wouldn't detect any sim cards at all ( I had no IMEI number, baseband or anything ). So i took my working motherboard ( I knew it was working as I could still ring it while it was in the old phone ) and replaced the mainboard in the replacement phone.

When I first put it together and turned it on everything came up as normal but somehow my IMEI had been corrupted. I dont know how but somehow I have managed to partially get it back.

When I installed my last ROM ( OMEGA V58 ) I created an EFS.tar back up which I kept on my SD card. This is it

I still have that sat there but no matter what I am unable to restore it. I have tried to copy it over from the SD card file by file, I have even tried to use EPS expert but I cant figure out how.

Could some one please please give me some clues or a point to a simple guide that I could use before I turn the oven onto gas mark 6 and stick my head in :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Efs backups in .tar format can be restored with Odin,SGSIII EFS backup / Restore,Philz recovery and other tools are you sure that the file above is in .tar format because screenshot say's different.Also if you copy manually you have to set all the permissions of the files to the same as what is is currently in your phones efs folder.;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwatch:
I have a RAR file on my phones SD car that is called EFS.tar

I have tried to install it using Philz but it says it cant find it even though I have but it in the clockworkmods/backup directory. In case I have ballsed things up in the EFS directory where would I get a list of the permissions so I can send everything over manually and use ES explorer root to manually set the permissions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazorMC:
Put the tar file in root of internal sdcard or memory card and select it from recovery (like when you install a ROM).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Yes that's the file I would try like [MENTION=3650141]RazorMC[/MENTION] said or just flash it with odin or try this >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/tool-backup-restore-efs-imei-sgsiii-t1901098 <<

I would probably backup your current efs ( even though it is corrupt) just in case anything goes wrong

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpentetdr:
I have note 2 with twrp recovery installed. I flashed cyanogenmod 10.1.3 and i have 2 problems:

-1: after the battery drains completely, i plug the phone and the battery shows up but it doesn't fill up (no animation, just an empty battery that normally would fill up). I long press the power button but the phone doesn't turn on. I have to do the 3 button combo, to start into recovery so i can turn it on from there. So i can see that it charges but if the battery completely died, i cannot start the phone normally.

-2: i have 16 gb but the phone has only 10 available, total space is 10,46 to be exact. I know that it should have 13,... But i think i have to format it somehow because part of the memory is occupied like i was using a samsung rom.

Any solutions?

Thanks !
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
1) It's a known issue with CM/AOSP roms that when your charge your phone by powering it off or in your case battery was completely that charging animations dont show the battery charging just a stuck round circle in the middle but your phone is charging fine.So just let it charge for 10 mins or so to gain enough charge to boot into your system.To boot your phone from this charging mode unplug the charging cable from the phone and press and hold the power button for 10 seconds or more until screen goes black and you'll see your samsung note 2 logo,let the system boot and plug your charger back in.

2)Samsung by default has implemented 5.4 gb space out of 16gb to run the system.There's a MOD available in note II android development that decreases system partition by 1.9 gb so after flashing that mod you get 12+gb of free space.I'll re direct you to the thread so you can take a look at do the exact steps as described the person posting it.

This is old, confirmed fake, but a very good one.

Someone simple spend waaaaaay too much time hacking an existing CM (10 I believe) to make it look like TouchWiz official.

There will never be official JB for our phone.

Plus, Galaxy Young lags with official JB as TheWhisp confirmed numerous times.

So best thing for our phone is CM 7.2.0.

Hello!

I've successfully rooted my phone, and have signed on with T-Mobile. However, while calling and SMS works fine, MMS and data don't work at all! I've googled around and the consensus seems to be that the Verizon software is the issue.

So, I've downloaded CloudyStock, but am totally ignorant as to how I should proceed. I've looked through the forums over there, but can't find a step by step. Could anyone help me out? I've downloaded FreeGee and QuickBoot if that helps.:confused:

[Verizon LG G2] mesiorni:
Flashing a ROM is easy via recovery. I personally flash any new ROM with an otg usb drive. Once recovery is installed, hit install button then directory/path/to/your/ROM.zip then swipe to flash. Its actually easy,and assuming all your software is correct, should boot right in.
[Verizon LG G2] grandpa_faust:
AutoRec installed, the CloudyStock ROM went off seamlessly...but now I keep getting a popup saying "com.android.phone has stopped" in addition to contacts and android.process.acore and they will not go away. Hopefully this =/= bricking the phone? Is there something I can do?:(
[Verizon LG G2] mesiorni:
No way is it bricked. For that,you would need cloudys support/thread. I've seen a thread pertaining to that but can't recall the specifics. Your not a bother, but I typically try to stay away from ROMs that have multiple issues mainly because my time is limited for trouble shooting. I found xdabbebs modified stock ROM ideal for a daily driver with Dori's kernel and g2 tweaks the most stable and dependable. I have yet to try cloudys mainly because of the issues of other users. I think your main issue here is having Verizon software on a T-mobel network. Your will probably have to flash t-mob KDZ files in order to correct your problems. I would think a mobile carrier would do this for you when you signed on idk. in the cloudystock OP post, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50630975 his link to basebands your are going from a vs980 to a d802 yes? Download appropriate file and install via LG flash tool. Hope this helps,let me know if you get this resolved. Just out of curiosity, in settings/about phone/ software, what does it say about your baseband?
[Verizon LG G2] grandpa_faust:
I flashed the VS980 version on, which I assumed was the correct one...should I try the D802 instead? That might be where I went wrong.

Baseband is 24A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046.

I know this is asking a lot, but if anyone is interested/feels like donating their time, I'd be extremely happy to host a Skype call to figure it out: Skype name is grandpa_faust

I think reading between 2 different forums is getting me messed up. What I had heard was that CloudyStock is "THE BEST" ROM for it, I just want simple functionality from my phone on T-Mobile (with wifi calling and wireless charging, hopefully!) Thank you for being supportive so far, it's a lot to take in!
