USA VZW S3 / SCH-i535

Hello everyone,

I am new to posting, but I have been reading these forums now for a few years. I had read through 30 pages in this thread but had not seen an answer to the question I had, so I was hoping it was to ask it at the bottom of this thread, to keep continuity for everyone else.

I was wondering if this had been updated to work on the US version of the Samsung Galaxy s3 / SCH-i535 yet?

I have been researching online as to the best possible root and rom process, but it seems that many of the forums and pages which I have read are not all that "start to finish" oriented, as in step by step instructions, so I am going through and trying to piece together all the information from over 300 websites and videos which I have read through in the last 24 hours...

I have chose to use Liquidsmooth as my rom of choice (LS-KK-v3.2-2014-10-05-d2lte..zip), I have downloaded the appropriate Clockwork Mods (recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-d2vzw.img and VerizonGS3_CWM6.0.1.2.tar), I have downloaded ODIN Pro v3.65, I think I have downloaded the correct GApps (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip) but am having a problem putting it all together.....

I have Win32 Disk Imager and SD Formatter installed (left overs, from when I rooted my old Nook Color) and I think the process is kind of the same, where you use SD formatter to format the SD card, then you use Win32 Disk Imager to flash the recovery image onto the SD card and the custom ROM will be dropped onto the SD card after the recovery image has been created, but I am not sure that is the best or most accurate way......gaining root on the Nook Color seemed much easier than it does with the Samsung Galaxy s3 --- it was only 7 steps and you were done.....maybe I am just over thinking things, I don't know but if someone could point me in the correct direction, I have been all over these forums reading everything for a long time now --- this place is where I learned how to root the Nook Color, so I was hoping I could learn to root and install a new custom ROM on my GS3 too.....if someone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it....

I think once I see the process done from start to finish --- prepping SD card, flashing recovery image, dropping custom ROM, booting it all up, etc --- that I would be better able to understand the process.....can anyone please suggest a good resource for the above?

Thank you in advance for all the replies and assistance.

Can't get to the custom recovery mode

Hello,

I've been trying to root my S3 by strictly following the instructions the ToolKit is giving me. However, the rooting process always ends to a point where I can't get my device to boot into the custom recovery mode. And yes, I've tried several times the 7th option in the main menu of the software (Fix device booting to Stock Recovery after flashing Custom Recovery). Doesn't work at all. I always get the stock recovery screen, no matter what. There's a guy who has has the exact same problem and he has explained it with screenshots on StackExchange (I'm a new user so I can't post a link to a site, but you will find the StackExchange question if you search Google for "Samsung Galaxy SIII: SkipSoft Toolkit: rooting: unable to boot Custom Recovery after flashing"). Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello,

this tool is a blast...great!

anyway it does not work for me...

i have tryed several things (also Odin manual with other Bootloader Recoverys) it is the same whith all of my tryings :(

i have a S3 i9305 LTE 4.4.4 Android

The USB Debugging is set (this was the easy part)

if i now try starting ODIN (i have 3.09) and want to set with pda/AP the file it say SUCCESSFULL

Also in the top LEFT it says PASSED...so no error at all

But if i start the phone to recovery (vol up+menue+on) it always starts the standard android recovery and not the new

tryed with philz and some versions of cwm recovery.

is there something i have to do before?

unlock the bootloader or something and if yes how?

Tryed also the Skipsoft Androiud Toolkid V9.0.1 (which finds the phone and also passes Odin successful)

nothing helped until now

regards

EDIT: the only thing i recognizes what is different to all the instructions...in the instructions the COM Port should turn YELLOW if you connect in download mod...my Odin turns mint green...don't think it's a problem but maybe an hint

Having issues rooting for first time

I'm running kitkat on an international LTE model s3 (GT-i9305N) and can't get it to work. I go through the entire process only to find that when I go to install through ADB from the recovery menu I get red text saying:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

When I reboot I don't have SuperSU installed and if I try and reboot into recovery it is still stock (even though I tried to install TWRP). Any ideas as to how to fix?

Thanks,

Edit: I just realised that the device is supposed to boot straight into custom recovery after odin (at least I think, correct me if I'm wrong), but it doesn't. Any idea why?

[solved] Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled

I'd like to use the Unified Android Toolkit 1.4.0 (Samsung Galaxy S3 V.9.0.3) to renew software on my I9300.

I have the latest Samsung drivers installed, I connect my phone in download modus and wait for the toolkit to be ready.

I could flash whatever I like, it hangs all the time at 'Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled'.

I know this has been asked several times before, but I can't find any solution for it.

I need to do that, because the I9300 isn't running at all. I can't access recovery mode. I can access download mode. The Android itself doesn't start.

Solution: I moved back to heimdall.

I am a gt-9300t galaxy s3 from australian vodofone on windows 8.1 machine. I double checked the driver compatibility and it's fine. I have installed android sdk and included adb in my path variable.

Urgent - please help!!!! app&data backup S3 and restore S5?

Hi,

yesterday I crashed the display of my S3.

I already had the donate version of unified android toolkit to root and backup my S3.

Now I am thinking either to repair the S3 or buy S5.

Is it possible to restore apps and data from S3-export to S5?

If yes, what is best practice?

Thanx in advance.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodrigoDavy:
I was wondering why you usually need an specific Android build for pratically each device in the market. With Desktop OSes like Windows and Linux-based we have the convenience of being able to install them in any PC as long as they have the minimum requirements and you have all the drivers. With Android, you need to download an specific build for your device, and sometimes there are absurd situations like users who have a 4G or dual-chip version of certain device having to wait longer for an android update.

So what do you think is the reason we can't just download Android and install it in any device we wish? Drivers? Lack of some sort of comom BIOS/UEFI/Firmware? Lack of standards for mobile devices?

[Palm Treo 750] b00001:
I am having a problem with the volume on my Treo 750. I would like to make the volume louder when I am on a call but I have the volume control at the max setting. I came across this link for the older treos: http://mytreo.net/store/product.php?xProd=165

Seems that there has to be a registry key that will "UP" the volume output from it's "stock" settings. Can anyone point me to the Registry key that I could tweak to do this? I just need to make the phone's earpiece louder so I can easier hear the other party while on the phone.

Thanks!!!
[Palm Treo 750] fire00:
wow that's funny cause I just wanted to create a new topic with the subject "how to decrease the overall volume when on call" :-)

with all the Treos 750 (I had 3) the volume was actually too loud when set on the lowest level.

So when somebody is speaking quite loud, it isn't so convenient, it's too loud.

But anyway - Hello Folks, does anybody know a reg-entry how to play with the volume when on a call?
[Palm Treo 750] cjmedina:
this is what i did, it increased all my sounds

HKCU\Control Pannel\SoundCategories\incall Then change the value of AttenuationCategory from 4 to 1

note i did this to all the categories
[Palm Treo 750] fire00:
thanks man!

you mean that reducing the value in registry results into increasing the volume? so in my case, I like to reduce the volume, I should incrase the value? :-)
[Palm Treo 750] b00001:
Thanks for the info, Mine was set to 2 when I opened the key. I changed them to 4, made a call, could not really tell a difference. Then changed to "1", made a call, I think it may be a little louder. Or it may be wishful thinking. I will leave this setting at 1 as I will be on the road tomorrow and make a few calls to see.

I changed both keys Attenuation as well as InitVol. They have beside them "(0x4)". Is this the possible value ranges available for that key? So if I am on 1 now, I could go to "0" which would be the max?

Thanks!!!
[Palm Treo 750] b00001:
Nope. Does nothing.

Anyone else???

Bought a Luge to unlock and use on T-MOBILE

Currently enjoying hspa+ speeds so that went well, but the random reboots/no sim errors because of fast dormancy and modem stats are very annoying

Searching all over leads me to believe I can not root or unlock BL on this device but I am trying to make sure of it

Towel root will not work because kernel was built August 25th but maybe I can still do it via adb or downgrade?

Build is 185.46.15 not the conmon 183

Kernel is 3.4.42 gb412cc4

Any luck?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
183 or 185 doesn't matter, it's the last number you're concerned about, .15. No, you can't root or unlock .15.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s5610:
Not quite so. You can use system.img *.15 update along with boot.img *.10, but you can't root kernel (inside boot.img) that is shipped with *.15 (OTA or firmware), because...

That's why. Luge has new kernel, all other things don't matter.

You can only downgrade system.img from VZ 4.4.2, not kernel, sorry. No kernel = no root.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiya Buddy:
Hi Everyone,

Having a problem here with a SM-900 Note 3 sent back to the US here by a relative. A relative asked me to purchase it off Amazon with their credit card (prime shipping), so it comes from a trustworthy source. AFAIK the phone was unrooted (Knox counter 0) and apps were installed through the play store. The phone is stuck at the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-900" screen. The logo is not steady, instead it keeps flashing every 3 seconds. Recovery mode does not work, or at least the phone keeps flashing the logo. Download Mode, however, works and the phone stays turned on steady. Kies keeps saying connecting and Jodin3 keeps saying my phone isn't connected. I have tried all 4 ports and 3 separate usb cables. I don't have access to a Windows machine only an iMac. I'm not sure what is wrong. I'm going to try downloading odin to my mac to see if it will work. If all else fails, I plan on contacting Samsung to see if they will fix it seeing as it was purchased only 4 months ago. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
If you were using a Windows PC, install Kies 3 to get a correct driver to be installed, then download a stock firmware for your device and flash via Odin. That could help to fix the problem.

I'm not familiar with iMac so I don't know what software can be a replacement for the Odin.

You can try Heimdall.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiya Buddy:
I managed to go over a friend's house and use his windows machine. I got the correct file and used Odin and it said "PASS". Unfortunately, the Note 3 is still having the same problem with the splash logo flashing every three seconds. Not sure whats wrong. Could it be hardware related? The battery contacts on the phone are fine. I don't think there is anything wrong with the battery itself because download mode works just fine. It seems to start the phone up its having trouble getting past the initial splash screen. Safe mode is not working either. Looks like I might have to put in a call to Samsung for warranty repair.

1. You will have to download one of the latest firmware of: HERE. I supose you don't know the CSC (country CODE) of your device. We don't know what firmware had your device either. Try to flash one of the newest for avoid active KNOX to 0x1 in future if you have to come back to one older firmware. Flash the firmware of the correct country if you know it ofc.

2. ODIN don't works in Mac.... use HEIMDALL. Lil guide: HERE

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiya Buddy:
UPDATE:

Vndnguyen; Sorry for the long wait as the past couple of weeks have been hectic with a family member in the hospital. Samsung Customer Support was obviously unhelpful but someone managed to find the true country of origin of my phone. They said (Samsung CS) based on IMEI it is from Taiwan. Now that I know the proper firmware I have downloaded the corresponding country version from Sam Mobile. Currently leaving Odin running to see if that does anything to fix it. Regardless, I will still post a screen shot and the log file.

P.S. It was confirmed the battery was not the problem, a Samsung Rep at a Best Buy store pulled out a battery from a working display Note 3 and used it in mine, but still no dice.

Hey Guy,

I have a friend that works for the mobile division of BestBuy and he saw an email that Samsung sent them that says Lollipop should be released within a few days. The email doesn't specifically give that information but he says it shows instructions on how to update the demo devices to Lollipop and how to reinstall the retail demo software after the update. He said usually those kind of emails are sent within days of the actual updates which would mean that most of the units on demo (Note 4, S5, Alpha and possibly Note 3) should be getting 5.0 within a few days. This update affects DEMO units which are not carrier branded which could mean, as usual, some carriers might keep that update for testing until they are comfortable it is fully compatible with their network.

This is good news for us, as Samsung has already started pushing Lollipop to some European countries.
