im confused..you have a list of just one rom that is said that can be installed useing this unofficial version of safestrape..but in this post you answer this guy,he is able to flash any touchwiz based rom ..question 1=.can i flash alliance custom rom over stock system in stock rom slot(dirty flash)

question 2=could i make back up of stock system,store it on external sd card then wipe everything 'system,data,cache,dalvic,everything except internal and external storage,for a clean install of alliance rom on stock rom slot? question 3=could i install alliance on rom slot 2 and just keep stock system in place..ive used safe strape once before had storage problems..took to much space useing two slots....id really like to jiust make a back up of stock system store it on external storage,and dirty flash alliance over stock rom slot to save space...im gonna continue reading thread and try find answers...for now im just gonna install the recovery just to make a backup of stock system,and install xposed framework and customize it with xposed...im sorry if you have answered any of these..

---------- Post added at 07:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------

i read another user said they had major battery drain,untill they flashed the superlite rom..can i just install the unofficial s.s just for the purpose of makeing back up of stock system incase of running into problems running xposed,and several mod's from xposed..and just keep useing stock rom..im not really convienced of useing the super lite rom yet...this is my mothers phone think she may want those apps for now..but i wanted still give her options to theme and add mods and have some fun..but i dont wanna use xposed without a back up..but if useing this recovery with stock system causes major battery drain..i better not do that..i have some experiance with safestrape..before on a note 2 on vzw,used safestrape i flashed alliance over stock rom slot (dirty flash) had to use touchwiz base rom,same os version and dirty flash,just wipeing data i think i remembered that correctly..that saved me space ...wish that was possible..but thread says only the super de bloated rom will work.

There are two kitkat roms only check the dev section.

dont flash 4.3 roms wont boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thegrim11:
I installed the B02 apk and I click install but it does not work, says installation completed but no option to reboot and it say not installed.

EDIT: I got it to install, I had to reinstall BusyBox. Also Whenever I install a ROM, it just boots into the default samsung recovery and not to the ROM i want.

Hmm. I was able to install cm11, but... CM11-M12 and newer nightlies boot up with incessant "com.android.phone has stopped" message. I tried CM11-M9, and that just gets stuck on the CM splash image.

I just installed this on a refurb I ordered recently, but I need to return it.

Would flashing the NE1 firmware (from here, maybe?) be all I need to do to get it back to stock 4.4.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] js290:
Search for "i535" at sammobile. Select 4.4.2, download and follow instructions there.

I just uninstalled SS v3.75 to try to put stock firmware back on device. In download mode, Windows laptop no longer recognizes the device.

*For those that use the Verizon S3 for RECREATIONAL PURPOSES and NOT FUNCTIONAL DAILY USE*

I was going to let you know that SlimKat WILL flash with safestrap but lacks some core functions after doing so (i.e. Wifi and Mobile Data). So if you are looking to test or just to have fun with an AOSP Rom, you do in fact have the capability. But again...this is only for those that dont intend on using this for actual cellular use. Just thought id share :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
You mean that slimkat booted on your locked s3 with NE1 bootloader ?

Tryed the latest weekly and sticked on black screen.

which version you have flashed on your device?

Edit: the downloaded file is courpted.

it's booted but I have missing file will download fresh one tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bbakes2012:
Sure did and yes mine is NE1. I have Safestrap 3.7 and flashed the Official 7.0 of SlimKat and Full gapps 8.

What I did:

Boot to safestrap

Made a backup of current stock rom

Factory reset x2

Wiped data, cache, system, and dalvic x2 (im a tad ocd about making sure the phone is completely wiped)

Made sure system was mounted

Then flashed Official SlimKat 7 rom

After it was finished I flashed Full Gapps 8 from the slim site

Reboot and everything worked besides mobile data and wifi

I did restore my stock TW rom as I do use this phone for means of communication, but I enjoyed a small time of seeing AOSP again. When I get a new phone, ill boot that back and just have it to play with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I got cm booted too but don't try to install now it's the same as slimkat but you will not reach to launcher.

here what I did:

Loaded cm ramdisk instead of stock ram disk

Add script to choose which ram disk to load slim,cm or TW.

For now this(ramdisk hack) will work on slot rom.

Bugs after my hacks:

Camera.

Wifi.

video playback.

Some graphic glitches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
You guys are kidding me right?! So if it will boot could u modify the system and data partitions to achieve a working hybrid Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brathnach:
Just in relation to the loading of slimkat etc. I did this successfuul a while back. However none of the radios show up (when you go into about phone). I posted here and probably rightly got cold water thrown on it due to non functional radios. But might be of some useful benefit to the discussion here. See second post down;

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
This will support cyanogenmod 11 and slimkat till now and the latest builds ( old builds will boot but with black screen).

-Uninstall safestrap from apk.

-Uninstall the apk.

-Install Unofficial-Safestrap-D2VZW-3.75-B03.apk.

-Flash the rom on the slot if you want to load the proper ramdisk, other wise rom will be more buggy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnsparkk:
Thanks for all your hard work! I just wanted to make sure that I shouldn't be flashing cm 11 onto my s3 yet? It's currently the phone that i use everyday.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ATGkompressor:
Couldn't get cm11 to work. Bored to black screen. But slimkat booted with out radios. There's gotta b some way to make this fully operational...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Be sure you installed safestrap B03 and the latest cm nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer-kondor:
So I acqired an Acer Iconia A500 tablet, and I kinda want to restore the OS on it.

You see, the OS ended up being a demo version of Android 3.0.1, somehow without Andriod Market/ Google Play store.

Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to root (please no GingerBreak, I already tried and failed)

I'm posting because the last time I tried to "fix" a tablet I bricked a Kindle Fire :(

So, what I would like to accomplish:

1) replace the OS with a new version of 3.0.1, or 3.1, or 3.2

or

2)replace the OS with a newer version of Andriod (4.4, 4.3, even 4.2)

but most importantly,

3) get the tab to have Google Play Store so I can download other apps.

I'm very much a noob when it comes to dev for this kind of thing.

And I need help, because I don't want to brick this one like I bricked my Kindle Fire (which also ended up being a demo device).

Thanks in advance!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TipsyMcStagger:
I rooted my Kindle Fire a year or more ago. I'm not a super user and simply followed a guide I found on Youtube. I don't even recall which one. Things have been working fine for months but the last time I tried to use my Kindle, it boots up to a TWRP v2.5.0.0 Menu (Install, Backup, Restore, Wipe, etc).

The only instructional guide I can find online is a step-by-step to unroot the Kindle for warranty purposes. I don't want it unrooted. I just want it usable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I'm traveling with my Kindle and laptop. This is not the machine I used originally to root the Kindle.

Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redzero36:
I'm not an expert as you can see by my post count, but if you can boot into TWRP then try to download another ROM and install it.

You can follow this guide on what to do, its the one I just used a couple of minutes ago and it solved my problems.sd_shadow's pre-root 6.3.3. 6.3.3 Can't be rooted yet but instead of using the link I posted you can try a modded stock 6.3.2 with root installed, but the ones I tried would try to update and cause it to reboot after 5 seconds. If you have a working TWRP and want it to be working right now you can use the link I put till someone who knows better replies since you can always re-flash the system with TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Use the mount options in twrp to copy my pre-rooted 6.3.3, to the sd card.

Unmount, and install, if you want latest rooted stock rom.

.

You will need to upgrade twrp if you want to try a current custom rom

I will go into more detail if you want.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TipsyMcStagger:
If you wouldn't mind more detail, yes please.

I literally followed a Youtube tutorial step by step to root this thing initially and never thought about it again, so I'm really no at all knowledgeable about the process or the jargon.

Okay, I've down loaded your .zip file. I selected Mount in TWRP. "SD Card" and "Cache" are already checked. On the right, it says "Mount USB Storage." There is no option to Mount ADB.

Bear in mind, this laptop is not the computer I used to root the Kindle last year. Is there some kind of driver I need to install to the laptop prior to doing all of this?

Yes you should install drivers, but if can mount sd card, and copy files to it, all is good.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TipsyMcStagger:
Okay...I'm not really sure where I stand. I followed your instructions above. It's now booted normally, but the System Version shows 6.3.2_user_4110520. I was expecting to see Version 6.3.3?

Honestly, as long as it's functioning, I don't really care. But maybe I should try installing those drivers and repeating the process? How do I go about installing the necessary drivers to this laptop?

If kindle is connected to WiFi, it will download 6.3.3 update, then try to install, install will likely fail, and reboot to twrp. In the unlikely event the update installs, you will lose root, and need a fastboot cable to reroot

Just wanted to follow up. I'm finally back with the PC I used for the initial Kindle root. I once again followed the instructions in your video and reinstalled your rooted 6.3.3 OS v1. This time, there's no doubt it was successful. Thanks very much for your help!

Do I understand correctly that this should remain stable and the Kindle will not attempt to auto-update the OS, rendering the rooted OS inoperative?

Tipsy
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
It should be as stable as stock, just rooted.

It is safe from updating, only till next update is pushed.

If there ever is another update.

But if you have twrp installed, update should fail.

Okay...I think I screwed up. I was in the Play Store and there was a Go Launcher update, which I installed. From that point on, everything went down hill. Parts of the screen were obscured, preventing me from making selections and nothing in my Newstand was usable. Also, Zinio, the primary app I use, would not load.

I figured I should not have loaded the Go Launcher update, so I went back to "Install" and reinstalled your .zip rooted OS. But it didn't seem to bring me back to where I was the other day. And I still have the same issues (Newstand and Zinio don't function).

Any ideas?

Tipsy
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Could be something else, but factory reset should fix it.

I believe Holo should work, used it on several device running Gingerbread, may not have used it on Stock kindle.

I appreciate your help. I think it's time for me to kick the Kindle to the curb and go buy a proper Android tablet. The reboot seems to have worked but nothing in my Newstand will open.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
Hi

I have noticed something strange happening with my phone. I have started charging it every night now so that it will be fully charged the next day.

When it is fully charged, I turn it off completely to save the battery, and to stop noisy email alerts. In the morning I turn the phone back on and it says 73% battery level, despite being turned off overnight, so nothing should be draining the battery.

If I leave the phone on Standby overnight the battery level is always 90%+ the next morning.

What the hell is going on? Does anyone else notice this quirk?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] da_mayhem:
You can try another battery and oberve if the problem would still occur..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] whizz:
It could have something to do with the difference in temperature? In the morning it's coooled off and maybe that does something with the measurement?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] nvgear:
Did you put ur fone into flight mode.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
Huh, I've never heard of that before, but then I never turn mine off. When you say "turn it off" I am assuming it is when you hold down the off button for a few seconds and answer yes to "really" turn it off. I think its very strange that it uses more power off than in standby. Maybe you have come across a nasty hardware bug. Keep us posted.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
Yes I do mean holding down until it tells you data may be lost are you sure.

And it is still doing it. If I fully charge my phone at night and then leave it on standby the next morning the battery gauge will say something like 96%.

If I turn it off, it is always under 80% the next morning, this makes no sense. I leave the phone in standby now with the volume off, and the backlight and power set to switch off.

I keep it in a cradle now, this is a stock photo, not my phone in the cradle.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] nvgear:
Charge your battery to FULL, then take it out of the phone when going to sleep, when you WAKE up, put the battery in, if it's at 100% or 99% then it's your PHONE. If it's at 96% like you said before then it's your BATTERY.
