[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegaso1:
Hi All,

I successfully root my Samsung Galaxy S3 I-9300 (UK version) last week, now I am trying to install a ROM (based on your reviews I'm going to try the Revolutionary HD), but I couldn't find detailed instructions on how to do it for this phone. I did this process few years ago with my HTC desire, so I'm not totally ignorant of the process. I reviewed the "[Q] Safe Guide to Root and Add Custom best ROM to Samsung Galaxy S3 GT19300 unrooted" but it looks to me that it is developed for Nexus and other phones (the main procedure with no doubt is very similar for sure), but would it be possible to have a detailed procedure for this phone? Starting from what software should I use to do which backups before proceeding.

Apologies if this had been already explained somewhere in this site, maybe I'm just too tired today, but I couldn't find it.

Warmest regards!

Did you mean Revolution HD?

Found this step by step: Install Android Revolution HD v40.0 on Galaxy S3 I9300 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Custom ROM.]]

But you should install the latest: [ROM] Android Revolution HD 52.0.

And I would use TWRP instead of CWM - TWRP I9300.

Or at least PhilZ - [i930x][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch. It is not being maintained anymore but will work well for now,

How to verify partition location for TWRP

Segio,

Thanks for your quick response.

I used TWRP instead of CWM as you suggested, installed & run the app following the instructions in:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/114

after selecting the phone model some files are downloaded and then I get the following message from TWRP: "Ensure the partition listed below is the correct one for your device. If you do not verify this then you risk bricking....../dev/block/mmcblk0p6" No / Yes

How can I verify that? Is it safe to proceed?

Warmest regards
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegaso1:
Done!

Sergio,

Thanks!, with your help I was able to figure out how to install Revolution HD in my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.

It looks great!

Thanks again!

Good to know everything went ok. Next step will be to try an AOSP Rom.

Take a look at: [ROM][Sep 13][4.4.4] I9300 AOSP NeatROM v8.0.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegaso1:
Sure!

But for the time being I need to figure out how to root & install a ROM (stock-like) to my wife's Samsung Galaxy 4, she's complaining that it is going slowly. I'll take a look soon.

Just by chance, can you direct me to a tutorial to support that model? We got it in UK, so it is probably the international version of it, need to check though, but what ROM would you recommend? I saw in the forum that Revolution HD its not even mentioned (does it support that model at all?!)

Warmest regards!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegaso1:
Hi All!

Few hours after installing Revolution HD my phone lost the ability of making calls! (quite annoying!), the calls just drop few seconds after hitting the "send" key, no income calls either. Any clues? Please anyone...

Rgds!

Pegaso
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegaso1:
Quick update,

I flashed again the ROM, but this time I didn't select the options to make it extra-fast (don't remember the screen name, but it was the only one where you have the chance of making choices) and now it resurrected! I can make & receive calls (for the time being!).

I'll be bothering soon anyway to install other ROMs (AOSP NeatROM seems nice).

By the way, and just if it easy to explain... why do you guys talk of "internal" and "external" microSD cards? As far as I understand there is one slot for mSD cards and I always understand that this is called "external", is there a part of the internal memory of the phone that acts like a "inetrnal" mSD card? If that's the case how to I locate it?

I hope this will just take a brief explanation...

Warmest regards!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svbarbosa:
Internal SD is a partition of internal memory where data as photos, maps, screenshots, etc are kept. Some apps store backups and large data there.

It will survive a "wipe data" but will not survive a "factory reset".

Double check your S 4 model before flashing, but it is probably a GT-I9505 (international Version).

If you want to keep samsung touchwiz flash [ROM][KitKat][12/09][GNH7 V3.1] WanamLite Fast & Clean.

Or go directy to an AOSP rom: [ROM] SlimSaberKat-jflte-4.4.4-20140921 [unofficial SlimKat builds] for jflte.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegaso1:
Sergio,

Quick update. I was able to re-stock to the original Samsung firmware using ODIN, so I recovered full functionality.

I can confirm that the model is S3 I9300.

Made a backup using TWRP

I realized that I flashed the wrong (or at least out-dated) version of Revolution HD, I got the one you suggested above:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-android-revolution-hd-52-0-android-t1797334

But when flashing it the MD5 sum check failed. I downloaded it again but same results.

Any clues?

Hi guys

I bought the Note 3, I'm trying to put TWRP recovery on. But there is a note saying

Use the 4.3 version of TWRP if you have never upgraded kitkat bootloader. Otherwise make sure you use the 4.4 version. These versions of TWRP have different DTBs and will fail to boot if you do not match your bootloader.​

So, how do I know if I have which bootloader?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octagonPerfectionist:
Okay, this is really weird. I tried flashing the no red text HBOOT file via RUU and it seemed to get rid of the red text, but now for some reason it goes through the entire boot sequence and boots into the OS while still showing the boot screen. I can get texts and notifications in the background, and it vibrates when I hold down the power button, meaning the power menu is showing up but nothing else will respond. The boot screen on my phone is actually the google bootscreen from the GPE version for some reason, because when I switched to and from the GPE edition it just stayed that way.

This is pretty weird, does anybody know what it could be?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octagonPerfectionist:
Alright, I tried flashing the stock hboot and the red text is back, but I'm still having the same problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octagonPerfectionist:
Aaand I managed to fix it by flashing the entire stock firmware via RUU. Still though, what was going on here...? Also, the red text is gone too for some reason, even though I never flashed the red text-less version again. Huh.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodhawk:
Red text shows only when your try to use a custom recovery etc etc. Stock boot doesnt even show that screen.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octagonPerfectionist:
Yeah, I realized that.

Do you know why my phone got stuck with the google bootscreen...? This really seems to be causing quite a bit of trouble, I've had to reflash the firmware several times after having it get stuck in that weird state again. It happened again after I tried to flash the kernel to a custom one, but everything was working fine before I tried flashing that custom HBOOT.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodhawk:
Did you by chance flash the wrong hboot the first time around?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octagonPerfectionist:
Nope, I downloaded the Telus one, the one for my device - my CID though was set to SuperCID, though I'm not sure how that would make much of a difference. I did switch it back to the Telus one while it was doing that thing, but I didn't reflash the HBOOT while it had the Telus CID.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodhawk:
That is pretty weird, im guessing either the Hboot was corrupted maybe or the version on the file was wrong. One way i would suggest would be to flash a full RUU or a full firmware.zip (1.4Gb + size).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octagonPerfectionist:
Where would I find the full RUU or full firmware.zip? It was honestly pretty hard to even find the small ~40MB one that I pulled the stock HBOOT from, since Telus isn't an american carrier. I couldn't find any of that stuff on HTC's website either.

Anyway, I never bothered trying to flash the modified HBOOT again since I didn't want to deal with that problem again.

Do you have any idea what's up with the initial boot screen still being stuck as the Google one though?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodhawk:
Nope this is the first time im hearing about this issue.

Ill probably look for it once im back home later today. Can you post your original MID and CID? Also what was the original firmware version ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octagonPerfectionist:
The MID is: 0P6B16000

Original CID: CID-TELUS001

How would I go about finding the original firmware version?

Thanks for the help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodhawk:
The base firmware the phone came with. Im not entirely sure if you can just change the CID/MID and flash a RUU from a different region.

But if you are running a custom ROM, it might be different.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodhawk:
Alright sorry for the super late reply, just been busy. I tried looking for the RUU but couldnt really find the executable. The best option would be to look for the proper zips.

Is the problem still there or did you manage to fix it ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octagonPerfectionist:
Well, I'm still running into the problem with the red text removal HBOOT not working properly, but honestly I think I can probably just deal with it for now. I still honestly have no idea how to fix the boot splash being the stock google one though. It seems kind of weird that it just got stuck like that. I don't have any urgent need to switch that back to stock for now though.

Thanks a lot anyway!!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not nearly enough info. Saying things like "cleared everything" and "nothing worked" doesn't help. You need to state specifically and in detail what you have tried, otherwise its difficult to help. More detail is always better.

What ROM did you try to install? Did you try others? What recovery and version?

Normally, if you want to replace the boot.img, just re-flash the current ROM.

[T-Mobile LG G2] jaed.43725:
So I was messing with QPST and it didnt workout. So I rebooted and noticed I didnt have signal. I read that I will have to flash back to stock, so I did. After that which should have fixed everything I had no IMEI. Thus I am unable to connect to the network. Now RF_NV_Manager keeps throwing some stupid error when I try to read or write.

I tried calling Qualcomm to get some help, but those people are darn worthless and have no idea what they even do for a living. LG told me to send it back to their place in Ft. Worth and gave me a repair ticket number. They however said they are physically unable (to damn lazy) to walk down the hallway and get a tech for me to talk to. And T-Mobile pretty much told me to bring it to a corporate store and if that dont work then to send it to LG (of course they tried to sales pitch me).

So does anyone have any idea on what to do? Is there a way to manually input the IMEI? Is anyone here a QPST pro that can help me get past the error? Any help is appreciated.

And yes I have checked about every site and forum I could find to no avail.

Unlock Your Bootloader:

As we all know, you are not required to be rooted to install TWRP, however, you must unlock the bootloader on your device.

You must email mobile@huawei.com asking:

You should get a response within 24 hours. In a situation where 24 hours has passed by than simply be patient or send another email. This is the 1st step to being able to unlock your bootloader (as of now)!

Here is a video to demonstrate to you viewers how you can go about unlocking your bootloader. :)

How I did it:

Win 8 pc.

typed "adb.exe reboot bootloader" in cmd terminal

typed "fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\TWRP.img" in cmd terminal

I downloaded zip to my adb directory, also had to rename it too "TRWP.img" as download was "TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img"

If it's likely to be feasible, would it be possible to have your permission to attempt a port, or do you think as the underlying processors are different

it would probably wiser to start from scratch?

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
The device configuration folder used to build TWRP is available on my github which you can find the link in the OP under "SOURCES". If you have any knowledge on this stuff then feel free to look it over and throw some patches my way. As it stands, mtp isn't working properly however, mtp has only been known to work for a very small select list of devices. A very small list. As for the time stamp, this isn't much of a concern on my part as it is merely cosmetic. However, the problem with it would most definitely be the result of the actual TWRP source and not the configuration folder (device tree). Feel free to look further in to it if it is bothersome.

Right now, my goal is to see if I can resolve the mtp issue if it happens to be at all plausible since the mtp featured in TWRP is still fairly new and has much more work to be done with it over at TeamWin. :)

Currently looking in to offmode charging as well. This is merely cosmetic. But would be nice to have.
