here for your data backup

http://www.s3forums.com/forum/galax...pst-backup-your-nv-data-imei-us-variants.html

there are a couple of ways you can restore, with a pc or with a flashable zip through recovery, I'm not sure where to tell you to find instructions for the zip though, sorry you'll just have to look, just type in some logical search terms for it

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

yeah you found that at AA51 didn't you? in the op about rooting the s3 after aug 7?

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

it doesn't hurt to do this just in case, the reason is sometimes in flashing it wipes out the imei for some reason, the imei is not in the rom its left from your stock, flashing doesn't overwrite some partitions in your system it pieces in around it, so if it gets wiped out for some reason you can put it back and restore data connection. Certain things from stock have to stay there and they aren't incorporated in the Rom because flashing the ROM doesn't even touch these partitions because messing with modem can brick you so its not messed with the Rom is designed around it, that's why you saw all the unbrick stuff and people bricking there phones before me and the guys figured out that it was because we needed a sim instead of modding the ROM or flashing modems so that's why I say bricking isn't an issue anymore, just flash and add 3rd party apps and insert a sim if its needed, if you flash and you get no data but can place calls then you'll need the sim just so the phone can find the APNs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrsELF:
Thanks for the tip on backing up my IMEI, after a quick search I found this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

I have terminal emulator installed, so I just had to type su (enter), then typed: reboot nvbackup (enter). My phone rebooted, and during the boot process I had tiny blue writing at the top of the screen saying it was copying. So I think I should be good to go :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I think you'll be fine, I'm still kinda new to this stuff myself, I just know my way around a little and I've done my other devices, bricked a couple and restored without a hitch, this stuff isn't that hard intil you get to debugging or modding your ROM itself which I haven't done much of and then there's dev which is very meticulous and takes years to learn, ill be there one day, you've got more programming and IT skills than I do, I use to do this kind of thing 20 years ago and haven't messed with it for a long time and things have changed SO MUCH!!! I'm loving it though, I've always loved a challenge because there's not much in this world that I have a hard time with I pick it up like a sponge. I think in a short time you'll be further than I am, maybe you can teach me a few things when that time comes, congratulations, you've popped your cherry on android and now you've been bitten with the bug, trust me, you're gonna start thinking about buying new devices JUST so you can mod them, then you're gonna start seeing similarities between devices and start porting parts of one to the other, to make your own ROMs instead of letting someone else do it and downloading it, a girl after my own heart, good luck in your android adventure. I'm here if you need me

[MENTION=5691352]N_psycho_PD_uh?[/MENTION] Just thought I'd give an update :)

I was trying to flash this ROM (cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-d2lte). But while doing so I kept getting this error:

"Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. please try another package or run a factory reset

E: error in /storage/sdcard1/cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-d2lte

status 7 installation aborted"

I ended up factory resetting it (of course after i had already backed it up). Then I was able to flash the ROM successfully. Then I flashed gapps, and was able to wipe the rest of the things, and then went ahead and restarted the phone.

IT'S WORKING!!! OMG Thank you SO much! :) I'm thrilled. Although this is SO different than 4.1.2... A little bit of a learning curve :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrsELF:
Well texting was working with the default app. Now I'm not able to send anything. I did download 8 SMS like it said in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557601&page=30 then I changed the settings like they said to: Just navigate to "settings > Multimedia (MMS) messages >MMS settings > MMSC" and enter "http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms".

Still not working :( Anything else I might be missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
[MENTION=6069680]MrsELF[/MENTION] where are you at? If you are having problems still then I can help you find what you need if you'll tell me what you have going on, if you are having trouble then just restore your stock backup, then find things you need, are you ok? Did you get the help you need?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
If you want a stable ROM with everything working you'll need to be on cm11 2/17 d2vzw as he stated above. All the d2lte ROMs are setup different and require 3rd party apps, and the later ones require a sim card to get service. Hope you get it fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
That's not true. I'm on the 11/11/14 CM11 snapshot M12 build with no issues of any kind it's the d2lte version I was on M11 previously also with no issues

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
so did you just flash it or did you need to edit anything to get stable?

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

gps, MMS, camera and everything? sim? no sim?

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

thanks for backing me up she needed it and you guys have been on the ROMs and have run the tests and fixes so I couldn't do much because I haven't had my hands on yet, all I've got is what you guys have posted so far and its a little mixed up, from one build to another for each of you it has been different, there's mixed info on what is working and what isn't. She needed it, I hope she didn't get a paperweight out of this and I hope she sees what the two of you had to say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
And since I'm on verizon I need a sim. I'm moving to straight talk soon, waiting for my sim card to come in the mail, also needed for 4G LTE service since it's a VZW phone

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
well there you go, you didn't have anyhing to worry about in the first place, we have ST phones and what is bugging for us isn't for you, our phones aren't the same, the ROM was built for your device specifically so you shouldn't have the problems we are having.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Ah. So yours don't take sim cards? Must be nice if that's the case. I ordered my sim card last week... Still waiting to get it and switch over

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
no, it doesn't take a sim for it to be on straight talk, but we still have to have a sim for data to work on these ROMs because the ROMs are built for the verizon phone and that phone is specifically designed to require a sim so it will get LTE, so it makes our phone act the same way where it needs the sim even though we are 3g, trippy but that's how it is, nobody ever considered using a sim for our phone because we are 3g CDMA so in everybody's mind they thought a sim had nothing to do with how our devices got data, they never considered that the verizon device we are emulating requires one so we would too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
That's a very good point. All carriers should be GSM in my opinion

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Are you running that on straight talk with working data and MMS?

Sorry, just read the rest of the posts. I should've specified that I was talking about straight talk phones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Who are you referring to?

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
My xda app didn't update until after I posted. I was asking you if you were on straight talk shapesblue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
No currently still on VZW, waiting for my sim card from straight talk to come in the mail

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
nope he's got the I535 on Verizon but he's coming to straight talk, go back and check the thread where we've been discussing hexacode just gave us our answers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Your confusing me lol

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
how?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
The hexacode part, I have no clue what that even is

a senior member here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Oh ok, now it makes a lot more sense

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
did you need a sim before you flashed your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I'm not sure what you mean by that

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
well from what we have learned about your phone (if its true and that's why I'm asking) your phone is supposed to use a sim on CDMA to get LTE

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

I'm asking becauss weren't you trimming one down the other night, so I assume you didn't have one in it when you were on stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I've had a sim card since I got the phone. Nope haven't had to trim one down, when I bought the kit to switch to straight talk it gave me an error so I had to call only to find out I needed a different sim than what came in the package. The package includes a sim for T-Mobile and AT&T and I guess from what the person told me they now have sim cards for verizon phones. Yes it's because it's CDMA, which brings me back to my other point that all carriers should be GSM. For verizon and sprint to be CDMA is just plain stupid. And that's correct it requires a sim to get 4G LTE

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
they were more into developing their 4g and coverage area to invest into conversion to GSM, basically they said f**k the world and focused intronational within US
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Yea and they were very stupid for doing that. All the phones they have with the locked bootloaders like att is just plain moronic on there part. They have to control everything

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
which is why I wonder if our phones are requiring a sim for the same reason, it gets 3g but it goes thru the sim slot to find it when its running the Verizon rom because the ROM being designed for verizon is going to run the same on our phone as your phone so I still wonder if no matter what we do we're gonna need a sim because your phone does.

---------- Post added at 02:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

it costs them less in returns, they got tired of people doing what we do and botching it then return it or trade it in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Its a very good possibility, will straight talk even give you the option of a sim card?

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrsELF:
Sorry everyone, I didn't get a chance to update last night (and I also have not read all the responses yet). I did get texting to finally work. I messed it up. It was working both incoming and outcoming, but when I was setting up my phone, something asked me if I wanted to use voice+. I had a lapse of brain function and thought this was google voice (I know I know stupid). Anyways after scouring other threads, and removing the stock app/trying multpile other 3rd party apps. I just couldn't understand what was going on, along with changing the apns. Well I finally realized that DUH it was working what did I do AFTER i had it working, thats when I realized that I had this voice + thing enabled, once I disabled that it's working now.

I am able to send and receive messages. Everything seems to be working. I did not have to use a SIM card. I also have the ST SCH-968C (the h1).

Thanks again for all the help, I really do appreciate it. I'm am beyond excited to have 4.4.4 running on my phone! Now I just need to figure out all the things I can really do with a rooted phone :)

ETA: Forgot to say, that MMS was working without needing any 3rd party apps or extra settings with the stock app with this cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-d2lte. I can't say for certain that is still the case, because during troubleshooting, I removed the stock app to see if that fixed the problem. I could reflash it to see, but I'm not sure I want to do that right now. Just thought I'd through this out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
ok, I was worried, you dropped out on us, glad to see you're running good, I wonder why you didn't need the SIM? Did you have to do the autoprogram after you did the factory reset or something? Hmm? I wonder what was different for you, everyone else that has used d2lte has had to have a SIM? Are you happy with it? If you're looking to tweak it some more then go check out init.d scripts, there are many that work on all android platforms, some are for specific devices, if you get into scripts make sure its compatable with your device first, the ROM has the hotspot function right? Also play with your performance control options, you'll like it.

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

you don't have to reflash to get the stock MMS back, just use file explorer and find your rom zip, use zip veiwer to look in the rom and find system/app, in there you will find the stock MMS, extract it or install it, whichever way works, after it installs you can push it back to system, better yet if all you did was uninstall it then just go into your running system/app on internal and as long as you only uninstalled the app and not deleted it then it will be in your system folder, just click it and reinstall it, if you DID delete it then pull it from rom zip like I said. Have fun! Welcome to the world of rooting and romming[emoji12]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
what gapps pack did you end up installing, were are trying to find answers to why you have working stock MMS without a sim when the rest of us are on sims and DONT have MMS, also are you sure MMS not sms was working before you messed it up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrsELF:
Sorry work has been crazy busy today. Haven't had any down time to get to play with the phone :(

I used this gapps-kk-20140105-signed

And yes I'm positive it was working. I had sent and recieved messages. But when I was setting up something else on my phone it prompted me to use voice+. That's what messed it up. I still need to go back to the stock messaging app to see if that works (it did before I used voice+). But again I'm like 99% sure that it will work. At least it did with the ROM and gapps I used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I can't remember at what point d2lte stopped working on ST, but it slowly went downhill. Everything worked for a while, then MMS stopped, then there was the big one where we lost everything (calls, text, and data) She must be back far enough for everything to be good. I was flashing every nightly for a long time until I lost data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
ok, we were trying to keep a poll of who flashed what, what results they got, what they changed and what effects it had, what got them the most stable and how they did it, these things will help us figure out where in the ROM we need to be working. We still need to confirm if stock SMS and MMS work, if not we are still at square one, if it is we might need to contact you for some things on your device and how everything is setup so they can test things here. I know you are a newbie, but you aren't anybody's idiot either. You did well in your first attempt and you fixed your own issues and that's a big thing, I think I can see you about a year from now doing some coding on these things[emoji2]

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svavrek:
So, I need to know which Kernel or app or anything I need to take my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 - STOCK - but rooted and make the knock knock feature work like the LG phones have. Installing this in the dash and since there is no front button, turning this on my be a pain in the rear...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svavrek:
Actually, I may have answered my own problem... I am installing this tablet in a custom mount and using it for my car as the main source of audio/video/nav. Since there is no home button, I originally wanted the knock knock wake function, but in researching this it seems that it works on certain kernels (that are not compatible with this device) and it also drains the heck out of the battery... So let me run this by everyone who may have input and see if it makes sense. To me, it does, but I may be underthinking the solution...

The OTG connector will be home to a hub that has one input (for power) and two outputs (for expansion). I am going to have the USB power input hooked up to the USB power in my center console, which only has power when ignition is ON. So, my thought is this. The tablet will not have power when ignition is off, but when you key on the USB will have power and thus will charge the tablet. On charge, it should WAKE, yes? The dev option for STAY AWAKE will be used to, when charging, always stay on... then the 1 minute time out option will turn the screen off shortly after ignition is off.

Make sense? Should work? :confused:
