i wish...

mobo is for a Toshiba 5517 laptop that I stupidly screwed up the cpu socket when upgrading to a dual core cpu(2.5ghz)

went a little past 1/4 turn n ducked up the pins in the socket.

8gb ram, Bluetooth, new 250gb ssd ready to go in whenever I get around to it.

tablet got crushed under the seat of my car while looking for said tablet

unlocked the bootloader to my lg p769 with it.

i don't believe in tossing out electronics for minor isht that I can replace myself...

Revert to stock?

I have Superliterom on stock slot. I didn't keep the factory image on a different slot, because I thought it would be no problem to flash stock if necessary.

Now I need to revert to stock.

I tried odin to flash stock img, but even though odin said it passed/was successful, I still have towelroot/safestrap/superlite.

Can someone help with the proper procedure? Sorry if I missed this somewhere. I did spend a good deal of time searching, but didn't find it. Thx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Just checking, did you use the full wipe tar from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2791801

(I.e. this file?) From what I understand it should wipe everything and then return you to stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chanoman66:
Hi Thanks for the quick response. Sorry not to have replied sooner. Work,etc is pretty hectic. I did download that zip file, but Odin did not see that as available, so i couldn't use it.

The .tar I used was the the attachment that he included in the post. I'm sure that I am missing something, or not understanding something. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I can help with the theming
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
The easy part of theming framework is done we have now all png and colors.

The hard part is port style and drawables all missing strings the we will have almost 4.4.4 if I think so.

Yes!

Definitely interested, and I'm available to test :)

What version will this new update be based on?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AmbiguousXup:
Hello, So I installed Superlite ROM and got it up and running. my only issue now seems to be that I do not have MTP access anymore. My Phone charges just fine over USB but I can no longer use MTP to transfer files from my PC (or Mac via android file transfer) to my phone. All it does is charge the phone. I installed using version 5.0 of the ROM using the default options. Any guidance would be appreciated.

EDIT: I am an idiot. I didn't install the NE1 modules. It worked like a charm afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
MTP on the stock slot worked for me without adding modules.

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rev.joseph:
I too have the issue where installation with "all bloatware included" fails with: "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed".

I am on NE1, rooted with TowelRoot, busybox installed (tried both pro and free installed in /bin and /xbin), and Safestrap-D2VZW-4.01-B03.apk downloaded from the provided link. The ROM will install with default options or with no bloatware selected, which is a bummer as theming is the feature I was looking forward to having the most.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

flash on stock slot.

the rom slot is bugged!

Thank you for the confirmation and assistance.

Can I have my stock image on Slot 1 and your Rom on the stock slot instead?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Yes just backup you current rom and restore on slot rom the if all ok flash SLROM on stock slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] legend221:
Thank you so very much on Stock Slot with this Rom and everything is working perfectly, connect / charge via USB is not restarting the phone anymore.

Just a slight recommendation to add the above posts on the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
That's not a new issue. It was said somewhere in this long thread that reboots happen plugging in USB when not on stock slot. Probably should be in OP to cut down on confusion, though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I know I read here that people using this Verizon S3 for another network provider were having trouble texting MMS messages but I'm not sure if it was figured out. The answer is to use a texting/MMS app other than the messages app included in this ROM. The messages app seems to default to looking for a Verizon SIM and other MMS apps must set things up correctly. I am using a Tracfone SIM and got pictures to send using the Messenger app by Google. Maybe this could be added to the ROM? If not, it's a free download from the play store.

Is there gonna be a SuperLiteRom 6, Mohammad?

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
OK, I'm back to the Messages app. Here's why, and I don't understand it. My friend has Verizon and is not getting my texts while my other friend with T-Mobile does. Messages works with SMS texts, so that's what I do and sometimes rely on it. The Messenger app appeared to work and gave me a verification time that the text was sent both times. Does Verizon's network block certain apps? I'm gonna try to uninstall Messages and re-install it and see if it recognizes my Tracfone SIM when setting things up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Easier said than done. I used apk extractor and got the apk file but I could not uninstall the existing messages app and this apk won't install with the other on the system. I tried to turn it off and force close after clearing the cache but that just removed it from the system and it wouldn't reinstall. I wound up wiping the system and reinstalling a backup. Back to square 1 :(

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Got another MMS app that works with the same Verizon recipient from my Tracfone S3. The app I used is called Textra and has MMS settings and APN is configurable...though it found it automatically for me on this Verizon S3 with my Tracfone SIM. The app's in the play store for free and here's a screenshot:

I want to add more memory to this phone. The only way I know of doing that is with swap space. I used a swap app to make the file but it wasn't getting used by the kernel. Is that a limitation to our locked kernel along with CPU clocking?

Hi everyone!

I can't manage to install the rom. I followed everything from the start : Verizon S3 I535 on 4.4.2 NE1, rooted, installed busybox and Safestrap v4, created a memory slot, activated it, but everytime I try, Aroma stops at ~11 % at the following error message "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed". I tried to change many Aroma settings but nothing seems to work.

Here's the Installation Log : http://pastebin.com/8QBzDFQe

Please take a look at it and tell me what's wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I also noticed on the Safestrap app, it says "safe system not active": I don't know if it's related to the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Wow-beyond me. Never had this happen to me and never read about it happening to anybody else. Hopefully mohammad.afaneh is still following this thread :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...et-set-metadata-recursive-some-changes-failed

This may help. I never recieved this error, but I had my s3 a while back. My suggestion is to use and older or maybe if there is, a newer version of safestrap, as it seems the error is the recovery (safestrap) not recognizing or being able to read some of the update-script. As for the safe system not active, make sure you have the rom selected to boot.

Edit:I used this safestrap version when I flashed SuperLite so maybe you should give it a shot. Make sure you dont have an ecrypted device however.

navigation bar/soft keys?

first of all, thx for this! this rom runs flawlessly if u follow directions! love it! just one little thing...I have to have the soft keys at the bottom and on version 3 and 4 I could just add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the end of build.prop and reboot, n theyd be there! but now, I do that n it says "system ui has stopped" continually, over n over. so I gall back to the nandroid I made right before. why is it doing this? ive tried it with es file explorer, root explorer, even ADB

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] l3l4ck0ut:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:
Maybe try clearing caches after changing? Or perhaps system ui doesn't have proper permissions set? Im afraid I cant help much, last time I used my s3 was when the dinosaurs ruled the earth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sezi01:
Hey there......had the same error also after 55.5%. Was really angry for I thought the universe wasn't on my side....that was until i discovered the problem. Using busybox pro or any other versions of safestrap installs some sort of script that makes the ROM unreadable on some Verizon GS3 devices. i also think Knox may be part of the problem. (Please bear in mind that I am no developer, so the authenticity of my diagnosis may be flawed.) Well after several days of toying around both phone root files and google, this was how i got mine going.....

1) uninstall all safestrap recovery

2) uninstall all busybox

3) flash stock 4.4.2 NE1 ROM via Odin

4) boot into stock recovery by holding volume up+ home+ power buttons

5) wipe data and cache (factory reset)

6) boot normally (at this point you will no longer have root access)

7) download towel root

8) download super SU free version

9) Open towel root to root phone. after root success, open Super SU and update binaries (pop-up appears asking to disable Knox. please accept to disable)

10) download busy box free, install busy-box

11) download and install Safestrap 3.75 B01 (this is very important)

12) install recovery

13) create new ROM slot (optional) and try to flash custom ROM again.

this was what i did to get Superlight Rom working on my device again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] l3l4ck0ut:
thx for the reply... but it works fine until I put that last line of code in for the soft keys at the bottom. right when I do that is when the problem starts. I can just fall back to my nandroid, so it's no big deal. n I JUST fresh installed 4.4.2 from Odin right before I rooted n flashed. still think it could be the same issue...? it's perfect until I add that last line of code into build.prop for soft keys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tomen8r:
Good for you!!!! I tried the same steps but Towel Root is busted and says device isn't supported on my S3 with NE1 baseband. Where did you get the Towelroot.apk from? Their site?

Help I am such a noob. I installed Safestrap yesterday. If I create Rom slot 1, do I also need to wipe data and Dalvik cache? Do I also flash the ne1 kernel that was on the Galaxy S3 sch-i535 Safestrap page?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
I don't think you have to do that because it's in its own "slot".

The kernel is optional I think (which are limited after the lockdown update), when I had my S3 I didn't have to flash anything extra.

I installed this ROM on my S3 years ago and loved it then and it still works fine but I'm having trouble with Google 2FA (Second Factor Authentication) along with GAPP (Google's Advanced Protection Program) and I imagine it's because Verizon has this phone with a locked boot loader stuck with Kit Kat. After all these years is there anyway to get out of Kit Kat and onto Nougat or Oreo?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Not sure, but if I got my hand on my s3 will try something in my mind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Thanks! I've been using a moto G4 for the last 2 years and saw that the S3 has NFC that seems to work in your ROM and the G4 doesn't. I wanted to test it out but can't because Google 2FA wants to open a web page in the S3 that doesn't work but in G4 running nougat there is no web page for authentication.

Maybe gapps just need to be updated. Would the new gapps (Google apps) work with your ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Just update them from play store!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Just regular play store updates and don't flash the new gapps zip in safestrap? I did the regular play store update and it only updated around 15 packages. I think it's holding stuff back because my G4 running nougat gets that amount of updates every couple days and the packages in my S3 are years old.
