I just want to be absolute certain this is safe to flash over what I'm currently running...

Thanks guys

Edit: Image worked perfectly, thank you OP. A little laggy but the stock 4.4 image is actually really nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Yeah you are good to go as long as the android version is lower than the odin file you are flashing (it is). Just remember there is no going back once you upgrade.

Edit* Didn't see your edit :p happy it worked! The lag should go away after the os "settles" in.

Mohammad Afaneh, yuo just saved my life!!!! I have gone through two days of utter rubbish and dead ends until I came to this. I'd tried to down grade and gotten soft-bricked on 4.4.2 Custom Kit-kat. What's the proper procedure use if I wish to return to 4.3 JB. This bootloader business locked me up the first time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
There is no XDA method for downgrading once on 4.4.2. You'd have to use a third party service to do a paid bootloader downgrade service.

S3 Verizon 4.4.2

Hi Guuys,

A short introduction. I was studing in States and I purchased a S3 Verizon 4.4.2. Nowadys I moved to Greece and the local cellural provider informed me that "I can use this phone only for calls (with Global status) no Text - no Internet". The only way to have them all is to ROOT it (not only ROOT but custom ROM). I was trying to ROOT it following a lot of yours advices above and now I have stuck as below.

Could you

PLEASE PLEASE

help me in genaral, what should be done to resolve my situation?:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
You do need to have Global set in Mobile Networks

And yes, you will have have 4G HSPA on Vodaphone, Cosmote, or Wind

2100 MHz HSPA is probably the rarest thing you can do on a Verizon S3 since the other (read as: American) HSPA bands are blocked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XxD34THxX:
wait wait wait, through JTAG? Back to the ML1 that supported TWRP and then Cynanogenmod??!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Correct. Jtag is the only option to downgrade at this point

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XxD34THxX:
If its under 50 bucks I'd do it right away worth it IMO. Too bad we can't just simulate the JTAB through USB( I know why we can't, but its a pipe dream).

Anyways, I got worried that I screwed up this download until I realized it was zipped *facepalm*. Saved my friends phone when I restored a corrupted backup w/o knowing it was corrupted.

I currently need to unroot my Samsung galaxy S3 from Verizon (SCH-i535) and I cannot find the stock firmware anywhere in order to reset to factory conditions. I am so scared to use the wrong one in ODIN that I want to make sure I do it right so I do not ruin my phone. I have 4.4.2 and from what I have read you can not go back to Jelly Bean or any other previous versions, it HAS to be the stock rom for kit kat correct?

So can I use the link you provided above? I do want it to be a full wipe and start all over. Sorry I do not know anything about this stuff, I am slowly learning.

hi , can we downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 on SCH-i535 verison , i am from Pakistan and i am facing sim lock issue, sometime not all time.

I want to flash any custom rom instead of 4.4.2 , like 4.2.1 or 4.1.1 are good , 4.0.4 is also good.

Note : I am unable to flash any CWM

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
If you are on 4.4.2 you CANNOT flash anything other than bootloader locked roms specifically for 4.4.2

For flashing you have to use safestrap and as I stated only bootloader locked roms on the 4.4.2 bootloader specifically for safestrap. Do not attempt to flash anything else otherwise you will hard brick the device rendering it unusable

Hi there!

I know Dolphin has this feature built in, as I suspect other browser's do as well.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question?

In Dolphin, you swipe the screen from left to right, choose history and you can export it, or send to cloud. You need an account, as it asks me to sign in.....but I have not made one.

I did use 4.06.651.4 and it didn't work. When I run the ruu it gets to the end on the process and then says update unsuccessful. And can you explain more about the stock recovery. I thought I just need the bootloader to be locked and then I can run the ruu.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunkins:
Firstly, I have to say that this issue might only relate to Chinese-Simplified users, so if you do not want to spend your time on this, you may just skip it.

The phenomenon description:

The device is Nexus 5 32 GB UNROOTED (never rooted).

>set language as Chinese Simplified, and the Google Search bar (the Google Now entry) will not work. Input the key words and I can only get a whirling circle.

> Change the system language to Chinese Traditional or English (US/UK, etc), search via the Google search bar again, and it instantly works.

> Change the language back to Chinese Simplified and the Google search bar will be workable in the next ~1 day. After about 24 hours, I have to change the system language to activate the Google search bar again. I have "solved" this kind of issues for many times, but you know that this is not a "solution". Anybody know the reason for this phenomenon?

Additional information:

* This issue should not be related to the network condition because the Google search bar work immediately after changing the language.

** This issue only happened on my Nexus 5 but never on the *nexus 4*. My nexus 4 is always in the Chinese Simplified language condition and the Google search bar works well.

*** Switching the system language will also affect the Google maps cache. After changing (and changing back), the Google maps app will say that the cached maps have expired (in fact it was just cached hours ago).

So, is this a bug only on nexus 5? Is there a way to completely solve the problem and make the search bar work just like it on the nexus 4?

Thank you guys.

So I was on Jasmine with the updated NC2/NC4 flashed via Odin.

I intended on upping to Jasmine 1.6 tonight and I wanted to start 100% fresh. So I backed up my ext/int partitions to my laptop, then formatted my external, loaded Jasmine 1.6 and whatnot to my clean external, then booted into Safestrap.

I then wiped everything, even my internal partition (yeah, idiot move I'm finding). It rebooted (which i didn't expect), and I'm not in bootloop.

With the new tether method.

Can I simply:

- flash the NC4 TAR here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524572

- TowelRoot

- Install SafeStrap

- Proceed with Jasmine install?

I want to maintain the ability to take advantage of the insecure kernels and whatnot should the day come that we get access to those goodies. Should I not Odin the NC4 and instead roll with the MJE TAR?

Thanks for your help!

NM, I failed to realize that TowelRoot will work on 4.3 so I'm just going to roll with MJE.

Hi folks,

i Have a HTC ONE with this configurations:

ROM: ANDROID REVOLUTION HD

HBOOT: 1.55 S-ON

Recovery: TWRP

When i start my device and android is starting, i get an message about System process isn't running. Yes, my android is completely dead.

So the logic thing to do is start in recovery TWRP and restore the last backup, right? Well... When I boot with hboot and press to enter on recovery mode...

I get the HTC logo and the "entering recovery" screen forever. Recovery TWRP is completely dead too.

Using adb i can start a shell, view all my files on the device, perform any task.

The fastboot.exe boot recovery.img freezes the device and flash recovery doesnt work too.

Flash the rom doent work too.

Anyone knows what can I do?

thanks!
