I'm having a very hard time figuring which PAC-man ROM to download for my s3. I've got the thing rooted via towel root and have the free version of ROM manager, but don't know where to go from there. The model number is SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 if it matters.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] coyotefiveoh:
There are hundreds of threads and post regarding loading roms... ill give you a quick run-down though....

First you need to find & flash a aftermarket recovery program.......(flash via odin) Team Win Recovery (TWRP) or Clockword Mod Recovery(CWMR) I personally like TWRP alot more, and there are a couple other ones, but those are probably the most common.

Once you do that, try booting into recovery mode.... ( turn phone off, then press volume up, power, and menu all at the same time, hold until you see the samsung logo and in top left you will see recovery booting, wait till this screen has past, then let go)

Once done, MAKE A BACK UP!!! Very important step and save it to where you will remember, i personally like to store it on my external SD card.

Load phone back up, download rom and recomended Gapps (google apps) onto computer, connect phone, and transfer onto the phone. (again i prefer to put on my external SD card)

Here is the pac-rom you want. ----> https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/pacman/d2lte/release - choose the .zip not the .zip.md5sum

you will have to look up what Gapps they recomend for their rom... i personally like PA Gapps.

Once loaded, turn phone off, boot to recovery, factory reset, wipe data/clear cache/dalvik cache. Install rom and specified gapps from location you saved on your phone.

I suggest your do a bit more research before you attempt so you are 100% sure you know what you are doing.... i did give a pretty thorough guideline but always double check!!!

Also, i have not tried using pacrom, so i dont know what its like, but i have tried around 4-5 roms and so far my favorite is dirty unicorns, here is the link for the newest stable rom. I am using PAGAPPS stock package with this rom.

I've downloaded Odin but have no idea of what to do with it. As for TWRP, the download links appear to either be very well hidden or just down completely, and when I tried to install Clockword Mod Recovery via ROM manager, I get a message saying "unsupported device".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] coyotefiveoh:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

top right of screen it says "Get TWRP for your device"

find device and download to computer. Make sure you are running odin v3.09

turn phone off, boot into download mode. (volume down, power & menu all at same time)

open odin

plug into computer

odin will recognize

click pa and find TWRP file.

start and wait till odin says PASS!

Unplug and boot into recovery and continue as per previous instruction.

MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP WHEN IN TWRP!!!!!

If you still cant figure it out, do some more googling. its out there..... i learned how to do it last week for my first time and all i used was google.

again, i am not responsible for a damaged device from improper use and hold no liability what so ever.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackGuyRX:
I forgot to add, when I did find my device in that search bar and clicked on "direct download", I was taken here,( cant type URL, but it should say "/devs/s0updev/gooinsideme/") but there was nothing there so I clicked on "s0updev", but I'm not sure of where to go.

When I clicked on "Market Link", I got a message saying no app found.

Before flashing anything, you should determine which bootloader and modem version is on your phone.

If you run into problems installing the ROM, you need to know the bootloader and modem version on your phone when trying to get back to a stock or working ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackGuyRX:
How do I do that? Also, I'm going to purchase a sim card with a prepaid service for my phone. If I get it activated first, can I still add a custom rom later and not lose anything?

Sorry for asking so many questions, I just wanna be careful.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Is your phone sim unlocked? If not, I recommend unllocking it before installing a custom ROM.

To find out about your bootloader and modem, install the Samsung Phone Info app from the play store. Run it and it will tell you what you need to know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackGuyRX:
The place where I bought it from claimed it was completely unlocked. I have no idea of how to check for myself other than a couple of shady payware apps on the playstore.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can test it by trying a couple of sim cards in the phone. The sim cards do not need to be active and they should from two completely different carrier, rather than a carrier and its sub brand.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackGuyRX:
OK, I've downloaded the Samsung edition of Phone INFO and found my Bootloader info, but have no idea of where the modem info is. Also, I went back to the store I bought the phone and had them test with an T-Mobile card, and confirmed the phone was unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackGuyRX:
Okay, after getting ClockworkMod Recovery successfully flashed, I think I'm finally close to getting this thing going after coming across two tutorials from teamandroid. ("How to Install Android 4.4.2 KitKat on AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 with PAC-man Custom Firmware" being one of them) I've run into another problem though-

The download link provided for the ROM is dead. I'm not sure of where to get the latest rom and the matching Google Apps download. If I can get these, I should finally get this thing installed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:

In order to flash a custom ROM, boot into recovery, format system, Dalvik, data, and cache. Install ROM, install Gapps, done :)

Your recovery is too old.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackGuyRX:
https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

I found "Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T)- 6.0.4.7" Do I need to go back into download mode and flash this with Odin? Do I run the risk of bricking when powering off my phone since I already went trough these steps-

“wipe data/factory reset”

“wipe cache partition”

“wipe dalvik cache”
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If you want to update to the latest recovery, you can download the zip version, copy it to the phone's internal memory, and flash the zip file from your current recovery.

You will not brick your phone as long as you are flashing the correct files for your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlackGuyRX:
When I reboot my phone, the Samsung & Galaxy s3 logos appear, but it just boots into CWM Based Recovery, so I may have screwed myself somewhere, I don't know if I can access the phone's memory via PC. Can't I just flash the new data via Odin without having to access my phone's data via USB?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can flash via USB using Odin. In that case, you will need to download and install the latest tar.md file, not zip file.

https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/

If you have a micro SD card, you can copy the recovery zip file to the micro SD card, put it in your phone, boot to recovery, and flash from the SD card.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeon48:
Hi there, first post and I'm very grateful for anyone who reads/responds to this. Long time reader, ex-owner of nexus 4+5.

I'll try to list all symptoms and procedures I've tried here. I recently dropped my phone and smahed the screen - sent off to motorola repair center and it has now been fixed. It arrived in the post 2 hours ago, so I immediately plugged it in (usng the turbo charger).

As expected the battery icon came up, first the solid icon, then it moved on to the charging icon.

Half an hour later I checked it, it was still "charging" but not a drop of power had gone into it. So I tried a different cable with the turbo charger, a lower powered one. Exactly the same response.

When I tried to power the phone on with conventinal method, the screen went blank and no activity was evident.

So I managed to boot into bootloader by holding down power and volume down (i think) button while pluggin it in simultaneously. This worked.

I set up my phone, wifi, sim etc... but notice the batttery icon has not displayed any charge. I go into settings and the battery settings IS MISSING! As if the phone has no battery in it.

So I decide to plug it in via USB to my laptop, no response at all, not even a charging icon. Different cable, same again.

I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what the issue may be, as it's been away for 3 weeks being repaired and I can't afford another 3 weeks without this phone as I'm an android developer and need it to regularly test my apps.

Interesting enough, a piece of paper arrived with the repaired phone stating that a live call and a software update had been implemented on it in the workshop. Leading me to believe that it was fully functional after its repair.

Any ideasand I would be hugely grateful.

Thanks guys.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeon48:
Just an update -

I've been on the phone to motorola, they are sending a jiffy bag and it's going back to the repair center. This time under warranty.

I'd really like a fix now though :/ although I've tried everything under the sun.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
It seems some hardware issue. As you've mentioned that charger is not helping then I should say, charging IC has some faults
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeon48:
It's in a jiffy bag ready to go back to SBE for repair. My case has been "escalated". All under warranty, thanks for the input. I think you're right it must be a hardware issue, I've tried everything to get it to work but the batter is basically not being recognised.

I'm more annoyed now at the fact I've paid £100 for a "repair", and will have to wait at least another week for this turnaround :/.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmanaka:
Wow, £100? Were you offered the Motorola insurance when you purchased your phone? I bought it because I wasn't sure if I could get insurance on my phone since it's not yet available with my carrier (Verizon).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeon48:
I thought £100 was quite reasonable for a new phone with a smashed screen, particularly one as large and high quality as the n6. Not to mention the digitiser being attached.

I'm in the uk, apparently moto care is only available in the US at the moment.

My insurance, once the phone is returned, will be in the form of a ludicrously heavy duty case with built in screen protector!

1. The Arabic and WWE ROMs linked from the download page are not available on the public ftp site (yet?) and these look like Extended_ROMs.

2. The Arabic Extended_ROM looks to be an updated version: JASJAM_Arabic_1.31.304.101.zip, while the WWE ditto looks like the old version from 22/8/2006 (the latest is dated 23/1/2007). These links probably needs registration.

I am posting this through GPRS and am paying by the kilobyte so can't afford download/upload of this ROMs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] abubasim:
i-mate has changed the wording of the ROM download page. Previously it said that they will soon be release an AKU3 ROM. Now it says:

We shall soon be releasing a newer version of software for English and Arabic, incorporating some bug fixes and new features, so please check this page periodically.

Note the absense of "AKU3" and "ROM". It could mean:

1) Just an Extended_ROM update :mad:

1) It will be yet another AKU2.3 :mad::mad:

2) It will be WM6 :) (Highly unlikely.)
