I can't get you. I'm on Lollipop 5.1 . Tell me what to do.
[Micromax Canvas A1] Akshatk:
ok......first of all flash boot.img of the rom(lollipop rom) on ur device using fastboot.

and then flash the recovery.img of philz using fastboot.
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
What does the "boot.img" file contain?
[Micromax Canvas A1] Akshatk:
ah......its hard to explain but it basically contains files required for the booting process....just do what i said and i think u'll be fine
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
Will it cause any problem? As there will be some files of KitKat on lollipop
[Micromax Canvas A1] Akshatk:
what kitkat files??......just flash boot.img of the lp rom and then flash the recovery img.....that's it.....what kk files are u talking about
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
I'm already on Lollipop. So, do I need to flash the "boot.img" again?

Yeah

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get into trying to dual boot my phone... both my desktop and laptop have ridiculous multi-boot schemes :laugh:

The main reason I haven't yet delved into this is a fairly simple question that I haven't been able to find the answer to: How much free storage space is required / will be used by installing an additional ROM and on which partition(s)?

I'd really appreciate if anyone who has this working could fill me in on that info :)

AOSP roms has very small footprint, that's why they are insanely fast... The roms itself with gapps only takes about a gigabyte, if it's CM or other aosp roms. If you dual boot 2 TW roms, of course it's gonna take huge space. It also depends on how many apps you are going to install on the second rom

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperCoolFool:
I saw that Rogers/Bell/Telus released a new carrier update for the SGH-I747M this month. I'd been running CM11, one of the one dailies from earlier in march.

I did a nandroid backup (CWM) then used Odin 3.09 to flash back to the stock ROM.

Stock ROM runs fine and now I'm on baseband/bootloader I747MVLUF0B1, android 4.4.2.

Problem is I can't install any custom ROM's or restore my nandroid backups. ROM or nandroids install OK, but all I get on bootup is the samsung logo for a second then a black screen. Left it all night and nothing.

I've tried several custom ROM's and it's always the same thing. I also tried installing some ROM's with TWRP but no go.

Would anyone know what do I have to do now to get any custom roms to install?

Previous baseband was VLUFNF2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you getting an error when installing the custom ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperCoolFool:
Nah, they go in like buttah....the only thing that concerns me is they seem to install pretty quickly.

No errors at all everything goes like.....wait for it.....clockwork! BOOM! (That's gotta be old in this forum)

This all started because I wanted the most recent bootloader/modem before I jumped to Lollipop.

I'll mention a few other details, in case they're relevant:

- When I first went back to the stock ROM, I forgot to factory reset the phone first. When the phone booted up, I still had all my old apps and data but now running on stock ROM.

- After begging for forgiveness for my ignorance, I then I factory reset the phone from within Android and let it boot. Rebooted into download and installed CWM via Odin. Booted to recovery and installed Supersu 2.46.

- Let phone boot up and check root and everything is working

- Boot into recovery, factory reset, cleared dalvik.

- Then I tried installing Matrixzone's cm-12-20150318-UNOFFICIAL-d2att ROM as my first custom ROM after going back to stock. I now know the way I was going about it was never going to work. I was just changing the build properties from d2att to d2can like the "old days", and I wasn't using TWRP, which I believe is required to get that ROM working as well as a couple of other modem tweaks. On that I would get some error and the ROM would not install.

- I then tried going back to cm11 and that's when all my problems started. I've tried several cm11's, my nandroid's and cyanide-5.0.2-RC-7.5-d2att. I get the same thing on everything except stock ROM.

Phone boots up, displays Sasmung logo for 1 second then goes blank and unresponsive. Can always get into recovery or download or go back to stock but no customs.

While I'd love to get a Lollipop ROM working on this, I'll take anything over Touchwiz.

Even my elderly grandfather, who's never even seen an android device before, told me I had brought great shame to the family by going stock.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Could it be as simple as the updater-scripts in the custom roms not taking into account the recent release of the newest bootloader and modem, OB1 .... wait for it .....code named Kenobi?

Check the updater-script on one of the roms you would like to install and see allows your bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperCoolFool:
Thanks for the response, I thought it might be something along those lines, but I had no idea how to find out.

I've looked at the update script for cm-11-20150323-NIGHTLY-d2lte and the last snapshot from december, but I can't see anything that mentions bootloader. Would you happen to know what I'm looking for?

Oh, and BTW, nice one on the OB1...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Were you able to look at the updater scripts? You'll need something like winzip or 7zip to look at the zip file's contents.

The updater script can be opened using a simple text editor. Look for the script in \meta\com\google\android
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperCoolFool:
I looked at the scripts for the most recent d2lte cm11 and also the last snapshot from december.

There's nothing in the script that I can see that mentions bootloader or modem.

I also read up on updater-scripts here:

It looks to me like CM11 just doesn't like the bootloader.

Have you tried flashing CM11 and a custom kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperCoolFool:
Thx for the reply...

I'm outside my "comfort zone" as it is, my android experience is pretty much limited to using a few CM roms on my Transformer and GS3. I don't know anything about custom kernels unfortunately, but don't mind giving it a try. (I'd need to be pointed in the right direction in terms of how to modify or create.) The most I've ever had to do to get a ROM installed was modify the build properties of a d2att ROM to install on my d2can, before they unified under d2lte.

Gentlemen, unfortunately I have to break character because, Great Success!

After a coupla beers and an episode of Homeland, I tried it out LATE last night, but it was a complete total miserable demoralizing soul-shaking utter failure.

Luckily for me, I wasn't hammered enough to be completely useless and I realized the order in which I installed the ROM and kernel was wrong. I need to install the ROM first then the kernel, not the other way around which is what I did the first time. (Makes sense as the ROM contains a kernel as well.)

By this time it's 1:30am and I'm cooked. Rolled out of bed this am, installed ROM then kernel and It's Alive! Restored my last nandroid and all is well in the world.

Small update in case anyone else has the same issues...

Well, I tried those Android 5.02 roms, matrixzone and Cyanide a couple days ago, and neither would boot up, and I installed ktoonsez kernel with both and I was using TWRP as my recovery. TWRP is supposed to be required to install those roms, but it gives me a problem once in a while where it won't list the contents of my sd card. I prefer cwm just because it always works, never tried philz or any others.

Anyways, I wanted a clean install anyways, so I just tried wiping the phone, installing the lastest nightly cm11 and the ktoonsez kernel but my wifi and cell would never work.

I ended up going back to stock to get wifi and cell back as it wouldn't work on any roms.

Even my nandroids wouldn't work anymore, it was driving me crazy, as I had a call to make and no other way of making it.

At some point after trying all day and getting nowhere, I restored my nandroid and forgot ktoonsez kernel and it booted, which really surprised me as that kernel is what saved got my phone to boot back up in the first place.

Didn't care really, wifi and cell was finally working and after a day of messing around I didn't want to think about it anymore.

Today I wanted to try some of the ktoonsez features (can you tell I'm bored with my S3 yet? Not sure what to get now that Samsung ruined the S6. Leaning towards the Oneplus One, they're not shipping to can but I have friends in US), so I install the kernel, and it breaks my wifi and cell.

I custom restored the boot partition from my nandroid to get rid of ktoonsez and get my wifi and cell back.

I never thought in the midst of all this set of troubles ktoonsez would be the issue when it just finished saving my butt.

I'll do some poking around over in that forum and see if anyone had similar issues. I'd still like to try it out as it has some cool features. FYI, I'm trying the AOSP version of the kernel.

As it stands, I'm running the latest cm11 nightly installed via CWM recovery, over my nandroid, without ktoonsez. Not sure why I can't install ktoonsez anymore. I'll do the clean install some other day.

Haven't given up on Android 5 yet, I want Android Auto!!! Can't WAIT to slam that into my dashboard!

ktoonsez kernel

I think I may have a lead on the ktoonsez kernel issue.

He has two makes of the kernel for the SGS3. One is for AOSP/CM based ROMs. The other is for TouchWiz based ROMs. The kernels are not interchangeable, you must use the correct one for the ROM you are on. So if it worked for a CM variant it will not work when you go back to TouchWiz.

Don't post questions in General section, there is a Q&A section for a reason.

For CM you need to unlock your BL because it uses another kernel.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sirputzalot:
Background:

I'm a post grad university student that takes a lot of annotated notes on powerpoint PDFs. My reason to root was because I wanted to be able to annotate my files and have them saved on a microSD since there isn't enough room on the device, with EZPDF reader then have that synced to my dropbox using dropsync.

My device is an Australian build number: KOT49H.P600XXUCNH3, Model: SM-P600, Android version: 4.4.2

What happened:

-I tried to root using Odin309, used the autorootp600mj4.tar.md5

-Appeared successful, superSU was in my app tray

-used Odin309 to flash recovery.tar.md5

-downloaded titanium backup and SDFix: Kitkat writable microSD apps

-tried to execute SDfix app --> didn't work, tried to access titanium backup --> no root access

-opened superSU --> "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"

-I think that's weird --> try to do the whole re-root process again using Odin

-This time, there is no superSU app in the tray --> go to google play store and try to install superSU and google play has error and closes --> test download random game and it works fine, I'm led to believe that this only shuts down when trying to install the superSU app

-Try again once more to re-root using Odin --> no surprise, nothings changed

-Uninstall titanium backup and SDFix apps and just leaving it alone for now

Current state:

For the most part, everything seems normal, I can still annotate but just have to deal with the tedious manual way of saving onto the SD card so this isn't an emergency, and I can still take my notes.

Main questions:

1. Where exactly is my tablet in terms of root? Obviously it doesn't recognize that it is (so probably not rooted) but the regular Odin root method won't work.

2. I would still like to be able to achieve my original goal of rooting to be able to use apps to easily write onto my SD card and have it work with dropsync: what should I do?

3. Where can I find the proper stock ROM/firmware in case I need to undo everything?

thanks in advance

Stock firmware for SM-P600 (Australia)

CF-Auto-Root for SM-P600 4.4.2

Make sure you're using the CF-Auto-Root for 4.4.2, and not the older one for 4.3

Follow the instructions in the post to the letter, including using Odin 3.07 that comes with it, not 3.09

Might want to reflash stock firmware in Odin 3.09, then attempt to re-root.

Should work fine as long as you are using the correct file.
