Okay thank you all, actually I'm testing PacRom and it looks great for the moment :) only one SystemUI Fcs since yesterday :D

About ART, I have lose 1500 point in Antutu with CM and somde lags... I prefere keep Dalvik because I use a lot of module xposed ^^
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone98RC:
I understand that you want to keep Xposed, but prefer Dalvik to have a greater AnTuTu benchmark score is ridiculous! ;)

ART runtime, is "officially" better than Dalvik runtime, but is under development still and requires more free storage space.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharky_974:
Yeah but if ART had less score than Dalvik, its maybe because the s3 don't support ArT very well etc...

And I have lags on Art :/

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone98RC:
You are on a little different Boeffla kernel, which use the Samsung proprietary drivers instead the open source smdk4x12.

According to Lord Boeffla, it should be worst than the known Boeffla kernel.

What's your experience with?

Thanks, we can be useful also for OP [emoji6]
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinayhvora:
Nope... The Samsung sources are actually better than the smdk4x12 which are synced to Samsung sources upto Update7(hence outdated, with crappy performance/battery life) whereas current Samsung sources are upto Update14, that's why he decided to make the NG Kernel in the first place...

But don't u think this is getting a bit too off topic for this thread?

[G2 General] MoArTea:
Hi mates,

Bought an second-hand D802 without checking the lock status. It worked when I tested it, but after a couple of hours it gave out the "SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted". The phone automatically rebooted after 5 seconds and when it restarted it just said Invalid SIM.

It kept doing this many times a day. I needed to restart it 3-5 times to get it back with a signal.

Took it to a friend that has an Octopus Box, he struggled to Repair the security, even got the IMEI 0 but managed to restore it. Unfortunately with no success because the phone is in the same state. He software unlocked it again but with the same "Invalid SIM - Please insert a valid sim and restart".

I read throughout the forum that an EFS restore from another working factory unlocked D802 might get rid of the Hard Lock status, but no one confirmed a success for any G2 model.

Does anybody have the slightest idea of what can be done ?

Thanks!
[G2 General] MoArTea:
Ok so I downgraded to 4.2.2 and now testing to see if the "SIM card removed - The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted" error disappeared. It displayed the first time I started the phone but let's hope it won't reappear. If in 2-3 days it will be all ok I will put out a guide for everyone that has this error with the G2.
[G2 General] cbrk07:
Having the same issue. My phone is the d801. I had a backup efs but restoring it hasn't helped at all. Flashed stock kitkat rom and it worked for a few hours without the problem but now it's back up again.
[G2 General] Vlad Paul:
Wich is the phone ? state now? I hope you solved the issue.
[G2 General] cbrk07:
I too flashed to 4.2.2 and it worked for a few hours but then started acting up again. Luckily after scouring for hours discovered it could be my sim card. Went and replaced it and now back up and running :)

but for anyone else there is a better how on returning to 4.2.2 than the one here on xda. Google pastebin Restore Stock G2 Firmware and there's a step by step with photos.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChocaHermosa:
I bought my s3 in March of this year, and everything was working just fine until May. It's an awsome phone and I love it. However, since May, my phone no longer connects to 4g EVER and the 3g comes and goes and never stays connected for more than 10 minutes while in use. I've NEVER even come CLOSE to reaching my plans provided 2.5GB of data, so I know that's not the issue. The phone has never been dropped, or wet, as I am always very delicate with my phones. I have never placed it too close to the TV...

I contacted Boost mobile. They gave me a long list of things to try. I have tried EVERYTHING: making sure the mobile networks is checked, preferred network setting CDMA/LTE, soft reset, clear browser cache, update PRL, profile update, software update, firmware update, ##72786#, and even did a factory reset. Nothing helped. Boost said there was nothing else they could do for me, and that I needed to contact samsung.

Samsung said the only way for them to find the problem is for me to send them my phone, and wait 2 to 4 weeks for them to revise it and send it back. That's not an option as I need my phone monday through friday for my job. (UPDATE: I got so irritated with this problem that I went ahead and bought an LG Volt, since I didn't have the money to buy another galaxy. It's nice but I don't like it as much. I'm still afraid to send the Galaxy into Samsung. They have expressed to me that if they can't find an issue(just my luck), or if they find the issue to be my fault(IE I put the phone too close to a credit card magnet or some dumb crap like that), then they will charge me not only for the parts and labor, but for the return shipping... and we all know that they'll charge me way more than the phone is worth.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if there's anyway to fix it without having to send my phone in to samsung? I have been told, also, that I could try reflashing the phone to it's original firmware and software, but I am afraid of screwing the phone up since I've never done anything like that before.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcatank:
First off, Welcome to the forms.

Secondly, you came to the right place. On this form you'll find crazy people like me who like to do custom flashing updating all the technical stuff. And then there's section of the form where people just want a normal phone and just want the basic troubleshooting tips. As with any user will have to search through the forms because there's a high likely chance that someone already has or had your issue just at different time.

There could be multiple reasons as to what you're experiencing. First off I think you should confirm and verify that you will do live in a good 3G or 4G location so that any further test can be actually validated. Secondly if you're not being able to connect to data it seems that you need to reactivate your phone by getting back on the boost/Sprint network. A full factory restore with data wipe and then updating over the air with firmware, PRL, reboot should work. Make sure you are set to use LET, under mobile data, and that you have enabled Automatic connections to the tower. Reactivate the phone again, if still not connected, reboot.

If you're still not having connection and I think you probably need to do a reflash via ODIN. This is pretty much what Samsung would do I'm except they have their own proprietary tools. Here on XDA we just have great developers.

Good luck.

Thanks button if this helped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
You could definitely flash the stock ROM and kernel to your phone via ODIN. However, the safest and most foolproof way to do this would be to download Samsung's KIES software here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP

Once in KIES, you would plug in your phone to the USB port and, if needed, download any drivers for your phone. Then, you would follow this path: Tools --> Firmware Upgrade and Initilisation. This will give you a warning that you will lose all your stored data on the phone, and will offer you to make a backup -- a very limited backup -- of information on your phone. If you don't have any worthwhile information, I'd skip the backup and go right to stock ROM restore.

Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChocaHermosa:
tO rcatank, I have already done all of those things. I have a new phone (which I don't like as much) that is connected to 4g almost always.

I download KIES onto my computer or the phone? The phone already has something called "KIES Air" on it, is that the same thing? And then one I download the KIES software and hook up my phone and go through the prompts you've provided, it does the rest itself?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
No, Kies Air is not the same thing. To do a stock restore, you have to hook it up to Kies on your PC via USB. Follow the steps I showed you, follow the steps on the screen, and Kies will take care of the rest.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
+1 on this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChocaHermosa:
Ok, thanks very much! One more question though... does it matter that the galaxy is no longer activated? I mean, obviously to test it to see if it works I'd have to re-activate it. But for this process, does it need to be activated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
Without it being activated, I don't think you'll be able to receive data of any kind. In order to test 4G capabilities, you are probably going to need to reactivate.

But, to restore it via Kies, no activation is necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
When I looked for my Nandroid Backup using Root Explorer I found I had to tap the "0" file over and over before I finally found it. At each level there are all the other files under "Storage". Why would I have so many different levels in the "Storage" directory?

Is it because of all the times I've flashed roms or something? Is it necessary? Is this an Android 4.4.2 thing? It doesn't seem right to me.

I've attached a screeny. Notice how many 0's in the path to this file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dancershrink:
Are you wiping the internal storage when you flash roms? This was necessary when moving from 4.1 to 4.3 roms and since that time instructions for flashing suggest wiping everything but the external SD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
There have been a couple times when Recovery has corrupted my SD Card. I've been reluctant to wipe internal storage because if I wiped it and wound up with a bad SD I'd be screwed. Can I remove the card, wipe internal, replace the card and flash a rom from external storage after?

Besides why don't they warn us about the multiple layers of files if we don't wipe internal. Why doesn't the CWM Recovery wipe that stuff on it's own then replace it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Ok I wiped internal storage and solved the problem. It's still weird though. I never had this happen til I got Kitkat. I like KK though and don't plan to go back to JB. It's all good now. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Don_Perrignon:
Updated AOSB and lost root. I could start the whole process over, but I'd lose apps that I NEED to backup. Is there a way to re-root on the ROM I'm on?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] prasanth21:
Its common to lose root access after installing a custom ROM update.

Nothing to worry about. Simply download the correct super su for your phone.

Reboot into recovery, clean out the cache and dalvik cache and install the zip you downloaded.

IMPORTANT: after installing it clean out the cache and dalvik cache again.

After rebooting you should have root access.

Hope this helps!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ladelmono:
Hello! I have my Xperia X10 bricked, and my USB only charge, it never have been detected by the PC, so i cant unbricke. When I try flashing with a ROM, it show me "Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.". So I think maybe Restoring a Backup of somebody with 2.1 may work. So if somebody with this phone want to help me i will be very grateful. Thanks you so much.

Hello

I have ordered Lenovo S660 and did some research about custom roms while i wait. So far there is no kitkat for it. But the specs are almost identical, they both use same MTK 6582m chipset, same resolution qHD, same amount of ram etc etc. Now for the question part.

Is it possible to flash S650 KitKat Vibe UI 2.0 to S660 with only S650 kernel and /system? I plan to modify it, adjust partition table names and flash via CWM.

If so you can do a restore as the whatsapp directory and its sub directories will be in there with all images at the time if the backup.

If you did not do a backup and deleted the directory there us no way to restore I an afraid.

PS any full nandroid backup would have those directories in, fingers crossed for you.

from my experience not much is different, .kdz IMO is a bit easier as you only need the 1 file, with .tot you need correct .dll file also....supposedly .tot is a little safer to flash, but I have never had a problem with either, based on what files i see here on XDA .kdz seem to be the prefered/more common method of updating the G3.

but in terms off how to flash, just google "how to flash a .tot file XDA LG" pretty sure you'll get a detailed guide, if you intent on using .tot over .kdz....

Hope that helps you a little :)
