[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
if you Odin back to stock you won't have root or the apps you added...and yes; before you do something major to the rom make a backup. In Philz recovery there are 2 factory wipe features 1. to just remove the user data [Google accounts, contacts, games and other play store apps (except for ones you made into system apps those will stay)] then there's 2. "full wipe new rom" (this one removes everything except for the recovery, bootloader and modem; you will just have to flash a new rom in the recovery before you reboot)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
I saw you mention this in another thread:

"Philz has the option to root the phone in Philz settings tho.......so one doesn't need SuperSU zip just the recovery and to download SuperSU and BusyBox from the play store "

I have PhilZ Touch 6, CWM Base version v6.0.4.5, "d2spr" and don't see that option. Do I need to update to philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte to see that option?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
So by flashing the superuser.zip from Philz recovery I changed the ROM? So I no longer have L710 VPUND8 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
x2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Should I update Philz 1st, before I try to restore stock L710 VPUND8?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, if you had ND8 before, then you still have ND8.

Are you flashing ND8 from recovery or Odining the stock ND8 tar? If flashing ND8 from recovery, yes update PhilZ first. Then you could just flash the already rooted stock ND8 ROM in [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION]' thread in Development (non-original). Either Odexed or DeOdexed, whichever you prefer. Then there's no need to use any option to root it. It'll already be rooted.

You should still update PhilZ because I have no idea if the older version will work well with ND8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Not sure if you have read how I got to this point , , ,but:

Odining was suggested to me, but because I already have Philz could update it, I have yet to install Odin.

Not sure I understand what can be flashed and still be considered stock. As my phone says L710 VPUND8, but it came from my Sprint MVNO w/Philz & already rooted, with some of their custom apps as native/system
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I read some to begin with but no, I haven't read everything. I just saw your yes or no question so I answered it since I knew it. :)

If it's already rooted, what are you trying to do?

There's all sorts of levels of "stock", as far as technically being different states, but close enough to still called stock, at least in some discussions:

I was starting to create a list, but I decided to keep things simple. Some people might disagree with this, but I'm basing this information on how the word stock is used in these forums: As long as your ROM is stock-based (not AOSP/CyanogenMod/etc or a ported ROM from another phone), then you are running at some level of stock. There's a variety of levels of being stock.

Technically, stock should only mean completely stock, unrooted, no custom recovery, Odexed, no custom kernel, etc, but we, including me, often don't bother specifying "stock-based", and just say "stock', except where there's a reason for me to distinguish between the two.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
I hope you won't regret that "Yes."

You have been very helpful, I am not yet use to app names being used as verbs, and knowing what it is actually being done by that "black box app" So, thanks.

My phone was rooted when it came to me, but I lost root when I flashed superuser.zip. Now I am trying to get root back by the method mostly too succeed. I did not think I needed a Nanoid (at the time) because just assumed a hard reset would "reset the device back to when you got it.":crying:

Before I lost root I did have titanium Backup installed and did backup my apps&data, not that that helps me now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Argh. Just lost everything I just typed. Darn fumbly fingers (on the PC not phone).

Anyway, it's moot now but if you're phone was already rooted, why did you try to flash superuser.zip?

Yes, absolutely then, download the latest PhilZ zip, check the MD5 hash of your download and make sure it matches the MD5 they provide for the PhilZ zip. Flashing a corrupted kernel, modem or recovery can be catastrophic. Flash the latest PhilZ zip from your current PhilZ. Reboot recovery. From the Settings menu choose Re-Root.

If that doesn't work google for towelroot. It may be a Play store app, not sure. I've heard it's succeeded every time as well, but I've never used it personally so I don't want to recommend it first since I have zero experience with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
okay so the easiest way to root your phone again would be to flash the latest

Philz

over your current Philz recovery then reboot back into recovery to have the latest version then flash this

ND8 Rom

and just read everything [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] put in his Original Post just to make sure you understand everything......

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

TowelRoot isn't a playstore app (it was in one of the XDA TV episodes and was created by one of the developers here) then when i got the S3 and it was already updated to NDC you guys said something about not having a root method for NDC i decided to try TowelRoot and made a short Guide on it in the Q&A forum cause it did work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I just don't want [MENTION=5980607]noknot[/MENTION] to be confused. The PhilZ you linked to is actually the md5 file for the zip file. He would need both the ".zip" and the ".zip.md5" if that's how he'll check the MD5 hash (letting PhilZ check it for him with the option set to check that when flashing, but for his knowledge, he'll want to disable that option for most things he'll flash because I believe PhilZ produces an error if you have that option checked and the .zip.md5 file isn't there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
There was no Superuser App installed when I got it. From what I had read, I thought I needed one to act as a gatekeeper. I was able to download/installed 'Titanium Backup' without any warning or additional permission required other than the one from Google store.

Read the Google store description for Superuser-ClockworkMod, Looked on my phone and saw a empty ClockworkMod file so chose that

one. Went back installed Superuser app and got a 'SU Binaries out of date" warning. There was an option to cancel or update binaries, I

choose update, it could not update and directed me to the superuser.zip. I followed the instructions (if you are having trouble

updating SU binaries) eg., flash from recovery superuser.zip. Superuser was now a system app and root access was gone. I did not

realize I was reinstalling Superuser as a system app, thought it was just a simple update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Thanks, that looks like I have a lot to read and look at. I am not in any hurry, my phone works and I want to do it correctly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
:eek: i didn't know im sorry (/.\)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Are there any issues in having this (now useless) Superuser App hanging out in my system? I turned it off. And hide so I don't have to look at it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's okay, man! I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally downloaded the .zip.md5 instead of the .tar.md5 (@noknot ignore that, that's something else that you can't flash from the phone), and I don't notice until I actually go to Odin it.

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Not that I'm aware of. If you don't notice anything weird, then no. As far as I know, either you're rooted or you're not. If you're rooted, SuperSU or whatever SuperUser app you're using is doing it's job. If you're not rooted, then SuperSU won't even be in the equation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Thanks, At this point on my Android learning curve I am easily confused!:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
I will be careful the next thing I flash. :good:

Is Odin used mostly when you can't boot into recovery or are there things it can only do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! Odin is a program you use on the PC with the phone connected to it with it's original USB data cable - it's only for Samsung devices. It can be used to absolutely completely and irreversibly put the phone completely back the way it comes from Samsung/Sprint. It overwrites the bootloader, modem, recovery, ROM and internal storage. In other words, everything but the SD card if you have one in it.

The answer to your question is: that is one instance in which you would use Odin, but there are others. Yes, there are other things that only it can do as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Do I want Odin ver. 3.09 or 3.07

nothing really just disable your firewall for now or just the spam/virus downlopad protection in Google chrome if that's what your using but i never had that happen in Firefox (some sites have "reported viruses" and such so the browser Dev's add them to the list for reported sites but for the most part the viruses are contained in the ads and that's why you need a ad blocker) that last part is just my two cents :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] angelofdooms:
I had some similiar problems, If you have philz touch recovery, you dont need to flash supersu, all you gotta do is, go into recovery and go to Philz settings and click on re-root system(superSU), then itll tell you to go to the play store and download supersu and once its installed you can go to the app and itll pop asking you to update binary, click the option that says TWM/CWM and itll restart ur phone and update the binary and you should be good to go if not, you can hard reset ur phone and if needed re flash philz touch recovery and repeat the steps listed above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
.....you have to click the option that says "Normal" not "TWM/CWM" <-----that's just my 4 years of using SuperSU talking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Yes, After (6th_Hokage, g_money, and roirraW "edor" ehT) helped me sort out my problem and possible solutions, "bilgerryan" provided the solution: Boot into Phliz recovery select re-root system. . .reboot. . .done, got root!

At first I thought he was messing with me. . .sure there is a RE-ROOT option (6th_Hokage had mentioned this too) I thought it was a joke to play on the Noob. But sure enough it was real and solved my problem (that took me a lot longer to create) then it did for them to fix.

(I did not even have to update the binaries or go back and delete "superuser app" Philz did it all for me)

Thanks to All

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luke342w:
Hello.

Firstly, I'd like to apologize if I'm posting in the wrong section, but this one seemed the most appropriate and I haven't found any questions or threads about this anywhere on this site or elsewhere on the internet.

I am using the Viper's Audio equalizer app(vipersaudio.com/blog) and it works magnificently with Google Play Music and some other music player apps, that do not have equalizers of their own.

I, unfortunately, have a faulty sd card, which unmounts and remounts randomly(which is verified, as it does the same in my pc and even after I format it, when it's completely empty). These spontaneous dismounts and remounts always empty my music library and it takes DAYS for it to stabilize and fill up my media library with music from the sd card, again(until it's stable again, media library dependent apps show only music from internal storage(most of it is on the sd card, though) or not even that).

In that time I have to use a file explorer(more precisely, the ES File Explorer), to listen to my music. ES File Explorer does not use any equalization apps nor does it have any equalization on its own, thus not making such good sound as Google Play Music makes with Viper's Audio mod(and I'm talking major difference).

I would like to ask how to enable an equalizer app(in my case, the Viper's Audio mod, but it could be useful for all equalizer apps) in an app that does not use any equalization apps and doesn't have any equalization availible on its own?

Or even better-this actually would be the answer I'd prefer to get-how can you make the device use an equalizer app for ALL the sounds, that the device produces?

I obviously have root, I understand very much of the advanced root android stuff and have modded some system files(but am not a developer), I mostly use Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100, with Neatrom AOSP with latest KitKat(4.4.4), which works perfectly-I hope I listed enough useful information and I do apologize for writing such a long essay-and to clarify, this is NOT a devjce specific question-I added the device details just so that they may help with answering.

Thanks in advance for answers

[General Questions and Answers] AndrewTKD:
Hi. I just changed the runtime from dalvik to ART and i heard that ART apps are 10%-20% bigger than dalvik apps. Do i need to redownload my apps?
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
No you don't need to.

When switching from Dalvik to Art. The new runtime just pre-compiles the applications boot up sequence. Sort of like odexed systems but more intuitive and less lag is present.

This does increase the size of apps and uses up a tad bit of extra space then you had on Dalvik.

No need to be worried, your experience with ART will be better.

Again let me answer your question - You do not need to redownload your apps.

I screwed up and dropped my phone in water.

With lightening reflexes, I snatched up the phone and pulled the battery within 10 seconds.

I blew out the phone with a compressor, the put some denatured alcohol on it, which I blew out immediately.

I then let it dry for 8 hours.

After getting the phone back up, everything seemed fine. But I then discovered that when in speakerphone mode, no one can hear me.

If I am in normal mode, the mic works fine. If I am using voice controls, the mic works fine, if I turn on speakerphone I can hear them, but they can't hear me.
