[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Takis Teh Greek:
I've tried all versions of des's roms. Even though I appreciate his work and devotion, those roms are NOT stable enough for daily use on pro.

Personally speaking, the best rom for pro right now is CM11 by CrysisLTU. I know it can be cool to have some of the neat features of des's roms, but they simply aren't optimized for our device (even though honor and pro are almost identical).

So, my advice is go for CM11 by CrysisLTU if you plan on doing some multitasking (eg Music & Browsing).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] desalesouche:
my next roms for u8800pro would be done with same device tree than crysisltu so... for the benefit of u8800pro users...

hope all would be fine...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Takis Teh Greek:
Great to hear. Looking forward to some neat roms then. :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Lihis:
I disagree, I have used CM11 build 20140621 for a month now as a daily driver. It's stable, it's not laggy or sluggish and everything works. But some of the builds is not stable and the performance is poor so they cannot be used as daily driver, like CM11 build 20140701 seemed to be sluggish when I tested it. I have not tested some heavy multitasking or playing high-end games (if you do not count 2048 :D) with these roms.

I should test CrysisLTU rom some time..

Lihis

Mokee 4.4.3 very amazing!!!

Thx a lot for port this perfect rom. But i use CWM and all working.. I think we must use TWRP for install 4.x.x

But no. All work good.

(Sorry for bad Eng. I am from Russia)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Lihis:
Remember to thank [MENTION=4479868]desalesouche[/MENTION] also :) if you need a twrp recovery, you can try this: recovery_TWRP_u8800pro. Compiled that from latest source's everything ok except charging animation..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Askael:
1 problem..

When the screen is off, the red LED flashes continuously. But when the screen is switched on, the indicator stops flashing. When the screen is off, the phone does not go to deepsleep. What is it?

UPD.

Pocket mod. All good )) I turn off this mod.

Cannot wait for baseband update, hopefully it will be pulled separate soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ruokuo:
So what does no-wipe mean?

Currently I am on NC1. If I want to odin to NE1 with fresh start, will this no-wipe affect in anyway?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kuronosan:
You couldn't just flash the system and kernel partitions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Means it is exactly the same as OTA. Does not wipe data. No difference flashing it and letting Verizon update it except Odin will unroot for you. Must unroot or hide root to take OTA.

Won't boot with 4.3 firmware. It all or nothing for now or we would already have it fixed in dump thread. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gherman222:
Worked like a charm! Now I'll wait and see how to root this baby. I already had the locked bootloader so figured I didn't have anything to lose. Thanks!

Towelroot works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] v1ncent:
Is there a version of this with an unlocked bootloader? I currently am running my S3 rooted and unlocked with 4.1.2. Do I need to run a ROM instead - and if so is there one that is stock 4.4.2 with an unlocked bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
They are currently at Work our beloved developers trying to bring us a rooted touch wiz version for those with unlocked bootloader in tact and the very first of it's kind I might add. Do not flash this if your bootloader is of value and be patient as the very best of the best of developers are collaborating to bring it to us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] v1ncent:
Thanks - I have patience and definitely planning on waiting. That's why I still have an unlocked bootloader :cowboy:

Hello, how can i load in this firmware another modem like VRLHD, or there is some other way to install modem ?

P.s i have issue with sms/mms/i-net cuz of stock modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Sounds like you borked your radios. Or your APN is missing. Only thing can do is run that tar. Can try running Verizon Software Updater in repair mode. It will wipe and then flash tar. If don't fix have to get new device from Verizon. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leroyinc:
hmm, i can't ask for new phone cuz im from another country, everything works on 4.2, but whe i updated to 4.3 i done with my phone :D

but what about Software Updater in repair mode, where is this ?

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

mms works, didnt know why wont work sms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Make sure you are in Global mode before try any of this. If go with Software updater it is going to update you to 4.4.2. Not sure if can stop after repair or not. If that 4.3 tar in odin don't fix this is about only option I know of. Since bootloader is locked cannot use the fixes we have for this problem. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
Is it safe to flash the modem only, in recovery, with existing mf1 firmware?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] junksecret:
I am on MF1 rooted and unlocked but I have had the phone since it's release and have no interest in installing AOSP ROMs. I do need root because I have to be able to use root explorer or similar so I can edit the "keys" system files to disable the "WAKE" function of the home key. I keep my phone in my back pocket and it constantly turns on if the home key has wake enabled.

Before I flash this I wanted to confirm that flashing this No-Wipe Factory Image with Odin, I can root with Towelroot and install Root Explorer? Would I also be able to install TW based ROMs like a new Clean Rom if Scott gets one figured out? Would I also be able to create nandroids using Clockwork or TWRP?

Lastly, Since my most recent install of CR 8.2 my phone's behavior has been a bit sketchy (random reboots, laggy, etc). I assume if I flash this stock image it should return my phone to whatever level of performance "stock" yields, without any of my current, likely self imposed, performance issues?

I have never had a phone this long and expect I'll get a new one whenever there really is a "next big thing", but I don't think we're there yet.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickjensz:
Going back to stock

So, if I want to go back to stock, this is the way?

I'm on beanstalked / MF1 rooted and unlocked of course. But I'd like to get the phone back to stock condition so I can sell it here soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RRF12:
If you want sell leave it unlocked will be worth more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dakota-boy:
I'm already rooted on locked boot loader running custom tw 4.3 Rom via safestrap. If i wipe my data and cache, then install this from factory recovery, I should be updated to 4.4 with no root and locked boot loader, correct? Then reroot via towel root, and install new safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
No, this is installed using Odin 3.07 on your Windows computer. Unzip the file so it ends in tar or tar.md5 then flash in the PDA section of Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Just a confirmation

If I Odin this Tar on my rooted, unlocked S3 with Custom Recovery(TWRP). I will remain rooted, keep TWRP but have a locked boot loader.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HamBone625:
No sir you would have to us safestrap would no longer be able to use twrp I'd just hang tight for the unlocked version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Ok, loose TWRP but I would keep root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HamBone625:
Don't believe so but towel root has been confirmed Woking to root 4.4.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
OK, but then how is this tar different then the official Samsung tar.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It does not wipe your data. So you can hold onto your pics videos, movies, files, etc. That's it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
plain and simply put, if you use this right now you lock your bootloader, no twrp or cwm, no custom roms, no custom kernels, basically youre screwed. all you CAN do is root it and use safestrap to make and restore kitkat backups. thats it, thats all, nothing more. youll be stuck like people who took the 4.3 OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Got it, thank you

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

My contract runs out at the end of August. If I stay wit Verizon, which is doubtful, I will probably end up facing the same problem with any new Verizon phone I get anyway. Before I decide I will check the forums here to see if any phone I'm considering can be rooted/unlocked and then give this phone to my wife because she don't care about root/unlocked. If I can't, then I'm done with Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kuronosan:
On Verizon? Only the M8, I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HamBone625:
Correct me if I'm wrong but the g2 as well.. And don't forget about Dev. Edition devices like the moto x
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
If you decide to re-sell the phone you will get more money out of it if it has an unlocked boot loader.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
You need to unzip the file and flash it using the "AP" button in Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dakota-boy:
I flashed the tar.md5 file in the pda section of odin with my phone in the boot loader mode, worked perfect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dividebyzero:
FYI: AP button is called PDA in some versions. Dont' panic if you don't see AP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imp3r10:
So I can flash this with ODIN on my rooter ML1 and it will keep root for me? Or will I still have to use towelroot once I'm on NE1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Will lose root. Towelroot should root it as the kernel was built before the exploit was blocked. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cbanning:
Stuck at the GS opening screen

I used Odin 3.07, think I had the correct tar.md5 file, Odin said passed, but the phone boots to the G3 opening screen, then nothing. Is there something else I can flash to either go back to MF1 or would prefer the OTA 4.4.2?

Fortunately, it's a back up phone, but wanted to sell the GS4 to eventually upgrade to the 5 in August.. thanks for the help, as always!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
theres no chance of going back to MF1 or ML1 if you flashed the 4.4.2 file, bootloader was updated again for 4.4.2. if thats the case might as well try using odin for the 4.4.2 again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HamBone625:
You can also try going into recovery and doing a factory reset it seems like a real simple fix but its worked for me before couldn't hurt..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cbanning:
Thank you all for the advice. I found another "factory" OTA md5 file, and it did install okay, lost root though. Am now on NE1, can I root that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HamBone625:
Towel root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kb8no:
So towelroot should root everything up to latest 4.4 NE1, right? Most especially it should root the 4.3 ML1 and NC1, right? Does this kinda make Saferoot obsolete since Towelroot is an easy to use app and works for everything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yup, pretty much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gherman222:

m on SS 3.75 with both stock rom and superlite

im having a few issues on both roms

1. Widgets stop functioning, are not clickable and dont display updated information.

The only resolution i found for this so far is to remove them and re add them to the page.

2. Same thing goes for apps after that have been used.

After leaving an app, could be any, if you try and click it to open it again, it is unclickable

3. When those 2 things happen, sometimes the home key, menu key, back button and power button do not operate.

Which means i sometimes cant turn the screen off with the power button.

4. When scrolling through pages of the phone, theres a distortion line on the top of the screen, just below the status bar

5. Trying to add google now widget on blank pages i get a toast message that theres no more room on the page

6. Is there a way to get wifi hotspot on this rom?

Any ideas, help?

I'm having an issue where my phone cuts off after it boots. Any way to fix this? I can't do anything in android since it won't make it 'setting up your phone' screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] capt730:
Can you boot into recovery (Vol Up + Home + Power) and factory reset it to see if that helps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kennydied23:
It didn't, so I used Odin a second time and that fixed it. Thanks for the quick answer.

EDIT: Used the file that wipes data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luv2increase:
I want to install this on my wife's Verizon GS3. Right now it has ML1, rooted, TWRP and MOAR ROM installed.

Obviously, the bootloader is locked already. Is all I have to do is flash this file via ODIN?

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
If your wife's phone is on ML1, MOAR ROM, and has TWRP installed, then the bootloader on her phone is not locked already. Can't have TWRP installed on a locked bootloader. Once you flash this on her phone however, the bootloader on her phone will be locked. Just thought you should have this info in case you don't want to lock the bootloader on her phone. If you do or you don't care if it gets locked, then yes you would flash this file in ODIN. Although the OP strongly suggests anyone with an unlocked bootloader not flash this since it will lock your bootloaer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Landshark is right, but both of you guys should be clear on one thing....if it says ML1 in "about phone", then that means she only has the ML1 Modem installed, as the FULL ML1 firmware package will lock you down. The presence of TWRP means that the bootloader is still unlocked! That's where I'm at right now.....MF1 firmware with ML1 modem (baseband). Hopefully this makes things perfectly clear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bramton1:
I just wanted to be sure I understand this right. A friend on rooted on MF1 (4.1.2) and wants to be get unrooted onto 4.4.2. I can safely use this file to go directly from MF1 to NE1, the phone will be unrooted again, stock recovery, and pics and SMS won't deleted (although I'll back that up to be safe)?

Correct?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RRF12:

Edit: D/L link in OP not working... Any suggestions where I can find NE1 zip appreciated.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
So I was was a little over zealous the other night and ran towel root on my wife's phone and then attempted to flash a custom recovery from ROM toolbox. Sadly I did not read enough to realize that she's stuck with a locked bootloader at this point. She now gets the stupid screen saying she needs to send it in to Verizon for repair. If I flash this in Odin, will it remedy that problem and still keep her /data folder intact?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kuronosan:
Probably.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] S. Prime:
Flashing the stock ROM with Odin will wipe all of your internal storage. I was stuck at the same point once after flashing a custom ROM, but fortunately I had saved everything to the referral sdcard. The good news is that Odin will correct you Verizon screen. Don't you really appreciate being locked out of your own device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I've done this dozens of times on my sgs3, but my bootloader has been unlocked for about a year and a half at this point. I can still get into her phone by pressing the down button at that warning screen, it's just a pain in the a$$ to deal with.

ML1 4.1.2

I would like to flash this over ML1 4.1.2. Can I root and flash in recovery or flash in Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Echo5Kilo:
I'm in the same boat, kind of. My wife's phone is running AOKP 4.3.1, Baseband version I535VRBMF1. It's having all sorts of problems; losing data intermittently, LTE shutting off intermittently, the list goes on. I tried wiping/ factory reset and reflashing AOKP 4.3.1 but still having the issues. At this point, I'd just like to set it back to bone stock. Not even concerned about having a locked bootloader or even root. She doesn't even use an apps that require root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galets:
So: is there an update? I do not see any TW 4.4.2 ROMs on xda for unlocked bootloaders, is it because no safe version is possible to produce, or devs just lost the interest?..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Not possible to boot the KitKat OTA on older firmware....yet (for those who want to keep hope alive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galets:
With that said... Hasn't the good boot loader been leaked? I got one, but afraid to try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Not to my knowledge. Only bootloader that has been leaked was the original VRALE6 pre-release bootloader in 2012 by an African Canadian Sock Monkey. That's entirely incompatible with 4.3 and 4.4 firmware.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3c:
If you can get Kies to connect, it should give you 3 codes, all starting with G900H. Mine where XXXU1... HOJV1... XXXU1... I then downloaded a firmware with the same initial codes, mostly the HOJV1 seemed to matter. Followed by country code in parenthesis. Might be worth checking if the country code matches your actual country? It seems matching CSC image version (HOJV1 in my case which was available in many countries) is enough to get a successful flash.
