[WIP] Safestrap 3.72 compatible ROMS list [KitKat NC5]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tulsadiver:
Once you get safestrap I highly recommend Foxhound or Duxter. Venomous is good too if you don't mind a lot of red. You can change out the wallpapers. Baja is another good one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeathStalker77:
What about those of us WITHOUT SafeStrap?

If u don't have MDK.... Then u have to use safestrap....

sent via safestrap 3.72 and echo v25.1! !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeathStalker77:
Aww crap! I was hoping the MDF was older than MDK, and therefore easier to work with :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
That's not your build, your build is nc5. You'll see a lot of guides in the general section on what you can do with nc5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shadowng:
i was checking HyperDrive ROM and is only compatible with MDK Custom Recovery.

but i have "MDF v1.0 Release 2" with Safestrap (root)

i can install Hyperdrive RLS17? :crying:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's already answered in this thread. From your screenshot:

You have Baseband version NC5, which may mean that you have the NC5 bootloader.

You have Security Software MDF 1.0 release 2. That has nothing at all to do with the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shadowng:
Thank you very much, I thought it was the MDF which stopped me.

Is this a personal computer, or a business computer?

The reason I ask is, only people in the Administrators group can change the date and time. Messing with the date and time can break Windows Domain Authentication if your PC is part of a Domain.

it is a personal computer, also if you have got any solutions it would be really appreciated.

I would go into control panel and make sure your account is in the Administrators group.

what do you mean by "make sure your account is in the Administrators group", do you mean like if it says administrator under your account name like in the image below?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ironic:
Hi,

I could get S3 from a friend for 95$. All is okay but there is some dirt (like hay) under the display but this does not matter.

Is it still worth to get a S3 or should I stick with my S2 (poor battery and yellow-ish display). I don´t have much money atm because I have to buy some more things soon :(.

I tried the S3 now a few days and i like it very much, because of it´s good display and the brilliant battery life. My S2 battery life was so bad, few minutes display on and -15% battery.

I appreciate your help! :)

Greets
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAMPPLE:
I have a S2 and my battery life is not so good, anyway... Is your choice:) I heard one bad thing about S3 and it's sometimes the phone has lag in the menu or something like that but I don't know why... So again if you like it, buy the phone :) AGAIN IS YOUR CHOICE:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Moto G is better value
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obdan_van_darg:
If you don't have a lot of money (and even if you have ;) the S3 is still a very good machine. I'm pretty sure that not even one app exists in the Play Store which wouldn't run on the GS3. The only reason one I could imagine is a KitKat exclusive app, but no developer would do such a stupid thing.

The GS3 is superior to the S2 on every level. Neither the S4 nor the S5 is better enough to make me Switch. And with the new Generation of custom ROMs (Glamour for example) you even get all of the S5 features on the S3.

So: should someone still buy an S3? Hell, yeah!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ironic:
Thanks for the answers! :)

[MENTION=5896064]SAMPPLE[/MENTION] I have rooted and greenified the S3 and i can´t feel any lag even with power saving :)

[MENTION=2706741]boomboomer[/MENTION] I want to stick with samsung or htc ;)

[MENTION=4844465]obdan_van_darg[/MENTION] I will have a look at the glamour rom, thank you! :) And for KitKat we can upgrade to a custom-rom :victory:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lesliescott06:
S3 is a better option to go with rather than sticking to S2 if the performance is really good and the price as well. Mainly check out the mobile speed and check out whether its not hanging.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ironic:
Yep, testing it since a few days and it´s not lagging or anything else. All stable!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
well for $95 its a good deal now even more that you have a n7 so you dont need aosp.

for that price you can´t buy those low-mid end Samsung phones,(and tbh they are all almost the same, same hardware with one or dual sim and other sizes and other names *cofcof s3 mini,s4mini,sduos,s3slim,s3duos,s3neo,s4duos...*)

so yea, go with the s3 but see if you can get for $90 and then buy a cofee for you :P

I don't know if are there any other guide to build Cyanogen Mod for Samsung Galaxy W GT-i8150 Wonder on this Forum.

But i would like to share my experience to make your life more simple.

Requirements

Ubuntu (I think any version is OK).

Some packages for Ubuntu.

Java.

The source for Cyanogen Mod.

Repos for our phone.

An open mind.

Good internet connection to download everythings.

Download Ubuntu

Download Required Tools and Packages

Enable i386 Architecture:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update

Install Java:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

Install Git Core:

sudo apt-get install git-core

Download Packages for Ubuntu:

Then you have to apply this one too:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so

Now you muse create file to for USB configurations:

gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Insert the following code

Make sure to have permissions for that file.

sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

Install Repo

Create The Working Folder

Download Cyanogen Mod Source

I use CM-10.1 as booted example.

Download Phone Repos

After downloading Cyanogen Mod source, you have to enable your device, so do in this way.

Apply Patch For Camera

Download the patch that i attach in the thread.

Copy it into the root of Cynogen Mod

chmod a+x cm-10.1

./cm-10.1

Press enter after finish.

OK, Let's Compile The Rom

Hi,

I' am trying to connect two Smartphones over GPRS. At first I used TAPI to establish a connection between the two devices, but I don't want to use a CSD-connection. Then I took a look at the Connection Manager from EVC++, but I think with the Connecttion Manager you are not able to connect the two phones by there phonenumbers, like with modems or tapi.

Is it even possible to do a data call over GPRS? Or is GPRS just used to connect to the internet?

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Screenshots:

Disclaimer: Do not install this if you don't know what you are doing. Incorrect flashing of a recovery can lead to a hard brick! Bugs in the recovery could result in data loss so always have a backup! I am in no way responsible for anything you do to your phone and offer no guarantees.

I have an i747m so getting back to stock recovery can be done by flashing a stock ROM via Odin. Since you have the i747, I don't know of any method to get the stock recovery back on your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tailgunner9:
Stock Recovery

Surely there is easier way to get CWM recovery out of phone and back to Stock Samsung Recovery than having to install the entire Stock OS firmware????

Can I replace CWM Recovery for Stock Samsung 3e Recovery by flashing attached file in Odin 3.07 PDA on my i747 4.3???? Think all 3e Recovery are same no matter Android firmware? Or does it have to be from a 4.3 firmware? Are all 3e Recovery the same/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I'm really not sure as I have never tried it before. To get back to stock, I have always used Odin to flash the entire ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tailgunner9:
Wish someone had old i747 with 4.3 could try it and see if the file would get it back to Samsung Recovery 3e.

Seems like it would be possible since you can flash CWM & TRWP on one in place of the Samsung Recovery 3e
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
One issue with the 4.3 bootloader is the fact that you cannot simply flash back to stock using Odin if something goes wrong.

I think there are different versions of the stock recovery because updated versions of CWM and TWRP are required to flash newer custom ROMs. Also, some phones have different partition layouts. For example, Samsung phones have an EFS folder that can be accessed by an end user while this is not the case with a Nexus 4.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tailgunner9:
Makes Sense!!!! May I ask you what is an "Easy Way" to get my i747 S3 4.3 to 4.4.2 since I cannot do the OTA I get and that you know WORKS. I am rooted with CWM for recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I don't know of a sure-fire way. Whenever a person alters a phone's operating system using official or unofficial methods, there's always a risk that something will go wrong.

Since you have CWM, you could flash a custom Kit Kat ROM? If you want the latest TouchWiz ROM, have a look in the development thread. You'll need the newwest version of CWM to flash Kit Kat.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tailgunner9:
Rom Manager shows it has latest CWM Recovery. Did not really want a Custom Rom, always like the Stock ones on phone. Guess I am just stuck with 4.3 then. Thanks for your HELP!!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I prefer custom ROMs because they tend to perform better than a stock carrier ROM in my opinion. I prefer a dark UI which TW doesn't have.

Since you have a custom recovery, you could create a nandroid backup, flash a custom KK ROM, and try it out. If you don't like the custom ROM, restore your backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tailgunner9:
That is very true I have backup of my 4.3. Unless something would screw up and could not get phone to life to get to Recovery. Just stay with the 4.3 Will never install CWM again and loose 3e Samsung Recovery where you can not get OTA Updates. Thanks again audit13!!!!! They should make CWM & TWRP where you can good back to Stock Samsung Recovery. My opinion...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Sorry I couldn't help you more. I went from a stock Bell Canada 4.1.2 ROM to a custom KK ROM.

Have a look in the development forum. You'll see some amazing KK ROMs. If you wait a while, I'm sure you'll see some custom KK TW ROMs based off a stock TW ROM and kernel.

THANKS
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verny94:
Stock ROM is possible to flash only by Odin.

Imho rooted stock doesn´t exist. You must root it after instal. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloris:
easiest way to to flash latest available rom for your region/carrier using odin, then root using towelroot. i'm using the latest uk btu which is still FNB8. I've tried loads but always seem to come back to this setup, it's the most stable for me.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to be able to root/unroot at will?

Easiest way I found is if you have custom recovery Philz. With this you can go into Philz setting, restore root and then install SuperSU from store. Then to unroot just choose "Full unroot" in SuperSU app and you're done.

You can also use twolroot to root the phone then install SuperSU to full unroot.....although I've found that this can take a couple of attempts of rooting/unrooting before the UNROOT will hold for some reason. At the moment I'm on totally stock ROM, stock recovery, but I rooted with towelroot to make some adjustments using xposed/wanam and to edit the snd_soc_msm files for louder music and remove bloatware using rootexplorer, and have now finally got unroot by rebooting/clearing cache at each stage of the process (i.e. when i root, when i install supersu, when i update the binary in supersu, then i reboot one more time once root is confirmed working, then full unroot and uninstall towlroot app and reboot/clear cache once more).

So now I have a sort of custom stock rom without root, sky go player working. Perfect setup until I get brave and a new update comes out.

::EDIT::

there are also pre-rooted stock roms in this thread,

not sure if the procedure for unrooting would be the same though? or even if you can using these roms?
