[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhonePenguin:
Hi, I recently bought a used Sprint Tab 3. It's a data sim card version but I only plan to use it for wifi. Previous owner did a factory reset. Everything works fine, I rooted it to get rid of bloatware, no sim notifications, sprint crap etc. However, when I go to settings -> about device -> status, it shows a user name, eg. "usersname@sprintpcs.com" plus a phone number, MIN, PRL, etc. Tablet shows as connected to 3G network even though there's no sim card. If I enable airplane mode and reboot, all the fields show up as unknown and mobile network as disconnected, however the username remains.

I believe that info is from the previous owner, but where is it stored? I'm guessing the tab is getting it from the network even though there is no sim card in it to authenticate it which doesn't make sense. Removing all Sprint related stuff does nothing. I tried wiping the whole tablet and flashing a beta CarbonRom that was in the forums and the info still shows up in the about device status. I flashed back to stock rooted. Only difference is that android 4.2.2 has the username option while kit kat doesn't. Since I had made a complete backup of the tablet, I wiped the efs partition just for the heck of it and rebooted. Interestingly enough it removed the Sprint boot animations and replaced them with stock Samsung ones. Folder was recreated by android. Everything else is still the same. I was expecting the tab not to connect to anything anymore but I guess not. For all the doom and gloom that is said about wiping the efs partition, I was a bit surprised that it didn't absolutely nothing. There wasn't even a nv_data.bin file in it (although my S3 is also missing this file for some reason too.)

Any suggestions? I was thinking about trying to contact the person that sold it me, maybe he hasn't taken the tab off his account yet or something. If anything I can just keep airplane mode on with wifi enabled, still wondering how the tab is getting that info. I'd rather not have anything of the previous owner on it.

I have a Bell SGH-i747m.

Is it ok to flash i747 roms to an i747m? I've been doing some reading and it looks like what could go wrong is that it could change the modem. In that case can I install any i747 rom and if I find issues change the modem following the info from this thread?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831898

I've already installed Cyanogenmod using the automatic tool. Can I flash roms while Cyanogenmod is installed or should they be flashed from a stock firmware? (as a side note I have installed and flashed Clockworkmod Recovery)

Are there any issues flashing roms based off of other carriers? (Rogers based rom flashed to a bell phone)

How do I make sure I'm not downgrading my bootloader and bricking my phone?

Finally, are there any comprehensive lists to find nice custom ROMs and their features or is it just kind of a game of picking through the forums? What are your favorites or what are you using currently?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I'm not an expert but I'll try to answer your questions.

You can flash i747 ROMs onto an i747m but you cannot flash i747 modems and bootloaders on an i747m.

There is no need to return to stock before flashing a new ROM. You may have to wipe cache, data, Dalvik, and system before flashing the new ROM.

You can flash stock Rogers and Telus ROMs to your phone and it will work.

Make sure you are aware of a file's contents before flashing to ensure the bootloader and modem are designed specifically for your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Imo, modems should never be included with a rom. And thankfully I have never come across one, so you dont really have to worry about that.

I agree with audit13 on everything but one small point. Unless under specific circumstances, I dont feel formatting /system before flashing a rom is a good idea. All roms do that as the first step in the flash so its already covered that way. But more importantly, ive seen lots of people format, then have an error and cannot flash their rom. They are then left with no OS on the device. Ive also seen several times where they ended up having to flash their firmware via odin and start over completely.

I know some will disagree with me on that, but I just dont see any real benefit to manually formatting the system partition.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ZombieLee:
Thanks guys

I'm looking at Dirty Unicorn http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/rom-dirty-unicorns-t2844362

Assuming I don't have to worry about the modem, is there anything I have to worry about with the bootloader? I don't see one specified and I don't know what bootloader I would have right now.

Also I've been reading that gapps are just google apps. It sounds like you just flash the gapps file the same way you flash the rom. Is this right?

And lastly, is there ever any issue with flashing a rom thats based off an earlier android version than the one you are currently using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
From a terminal windows, this should tell you the bootloader on your phone:

su

getprop ro.bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ZombieLee:
Thanks

My bootloader is I747MVLUEMK5 . Looking in the about phone section in settings that is the same as my baseband. Are the bootloader and baseband related? How would I tell if its compatible with Dirty Unicorn?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Look at the updater script in the ROM as it will tell you what bootloaders are supported.

You can always try flashing and see of it works. Make as nandroid before flashimg the new ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ZombieLee:
I was able to flash DU and I'm using it now, however I'm experiencing some huge battery drain (25%/hr normal use)

I think its possible I did not clear everything correctly before I flashed. I've read the old rom can conflict with the new one if its not completely wiped which might kill the battery. I did a wipe fata/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik like most guides described.

Reading the post on the DU G+ space https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109738128866939227235 however, it says

I'm not sure how to wipe data, internal storage, micro sd, or system. I saw there were some options to format these areas in CWM, but I didn't want to do anything hasty.

I'm also confused because if I format both my MicroSD and Internal Storage I will have deleted my rom file, and my phone doesn't seem to connect to my computer while in recovery if I need to put the file back on the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Choose "format data". This will wipe the entire /data partition including your internal sd card, so make sure youve backed up everything first!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ZombieLee:
Thanks! To be clear, this means I'll store my backup and rom on my external SD card and direct CWM to the zip from there?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If you are asking if you need to store your backups on external sd, yes. It wont touch the external storage unless you specifically tell it to.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] trugoy:
Hi, I'd like to upgrade my Xda Neo to a more recent ROM edition, like

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co..._Edition/AKU2.3.1_LvsW_Edition_2006-11-28.exe

I have an "old" italian rom, and my device is a G3.

I am not scared about having my neo in english after the update process,

but I'd like to have my T9 dictionary in italian, and, if possible, also the keyboard layout,

the autocompletion for entering text (is that still controlled by T9?), and the smartdial application.

Is there a way to do so?

Shall I take some cab somewhere?

Anybody could give me some hints?

Thanks very much.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] imparator:
As far as I know; The t9 language of the ophonepad is selectable to different languages including Italian. the t9 of the keyboard itself is the language of the ROM only

Is there a way to verify if I'm on running ART runtime already?

What happens is, when i tick ART on dev options, it asks me to restart. After it reboots, i check the runtime on dev options again and it says there "Use Dalvik" still.

I'm running on Neatrom v2.2 ART compatible.

I agree with [MENTION=2902434]Pandemic[/MENTION] there is no good or bad rom try different roms from developers and settle for the one that meets your needs.

Calling one rom best is quite insulting to other capable developers.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meme7:

Open device manager and check what does it show when your Nexus is connected.

To all those wondering about this rom I can say it works 100%, its 4.4.3 based and i've tried the 2 issues other 4.4.3 roms had to see if this Rom had it and it don't. MMS send in full resolution in full size you just need to edit the apns in the messaging app. Also you can download stuff in Internet browser while other roms can't. Here is a screenshot of the apn you need for MMS to work correctly. Awesome job [MENTION=586648]sun_dream[/MENTION].

You are correct, its a stock 4.4.3 rom with Power Saver/EPS/Horizontal Quicksettings/Beats Audio enabled. It's also the only 4.4.3 Port Rom for Verizon that fully works.
