Alright, I'll give it a shot. I got T999UVDLJA_T999TMBDLJA_TMB.zip from androidfilehost.com. It's the same as the one from sammobile.com for 4.1.1 except it won't take 8 hours to download.

In download mode I don't see anything about a warranty bit. At the top it says... odin mode, product name: SGH-t999, custom binary download: no, current binary: samsung official, system status: official, qualcomm secureboot: enable, and then the big green android guy.

Are there step-by-step instructions on how to go about this that are already posted? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put this in PDA or what options to check, or what to do to unlock after it's flashed to 4.1.1. I really don't want to screw up another bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Open Odin, uncheck everythinng except f.reset time, click on PDA box and select the 4.1.1 tar file, connect phone in download mode, flash, when you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, perform a full wipe, reboot phone.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrvLikHell:
Sorry, I know it had been asked many times before, but after just bricking two phones I wanted to make sure I'm doing this exactly the way I'm supposed to.

Looks like it was successful, showing 4.1.1 for the version now. After following instructions in the hidden menu and rebooting, it no longer says invalid sim and it shows three bars with an old ATT sim. The sim isn't active though so it still says "no service." But before, it didn't even do that. It used to say invalid sim and it asked for an unlock code. It also says "Your sim does not allow a connection to this network" after a while, which means it's reading the sim. So it looks like I didn't screw it up and now it's unlocked.

Thanks very much for all the help. What's your recommendation for what I should do with it now? I'd like to at least root it so I can get rid of the bloat garbage. Should I leave it on 4.1.1? Odin flash to 4.3 with the newest ROM from sammobile.com? Or is there a custom ROM that you'd suggest trying? Also, if I install a custom ROM, but decide to go back to stock, can I just flash a ROM from sammobile.com the same way I did the 4.1.1 ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If the phone doesn't ask you to enter a network unlock code with a non-T-mobile sim, you should be permanently unlocked.

I recommend using the software update option to upgrade to the latest stock ROM as it is the safest and simplest. If you want to flash it directly from Odin, just use the same method you used earlier except with the most current ROM release.

If you want to root any ROM on the d2tmo or d2lte, the easiest method would be to download the latest 2.8.6 tar version of twrp for the d2tmo/d2lte from here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2tmo/

If you want the latest twrp which is 2.8.7.0, you can use cygwin to create a tar file from the img. I don't see any difference between 2.8.6 and 2.8.7 on a d2tmo.

Download supersu.zip from here and place it onto an sd card or the phone's internal storage: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU (put the sd card in the phone now if you saved supersu to the card).

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Place twrp in the pda box, connect the phone in download mode, flash twrp, when you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, flash supersu, reboot. If you flash supersu to a knox-enabled phone, open supersu and allow it to disable know to maintain root access.

I recommend not rooting or flashing twrp until you are running the latest stock ROM because root and twrp will prevent OTA updates.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrvLikHell:
Alright, I followed all your instructions, Odin flashed to 4.3, flashed twrp, supersu, rooted, everything is working great. Now, Is there a way I can get it to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 like my other phone? I'm not sure if I should even ask about Lollipop...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
It's great that it's working so far.

Since the phone is the T-mobile version, the most recent stock ROM is 4.3. To get to Kit Kat or LP, you'll have to flash a custom ROM. CM12.1 for the d2tmo is pretty good.

Many of the KK and LP ROMs are based on AOSP or CM. You can pick one you like and try it out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrvLikHell:
It seems that's what I'm finding on the TMO forum as well, aside from a few people who seemed to have flashed stock I747 firmware to their T999. To flash CM12.1 I just copy the zip to the phones memory and then install it with the twrp menu, right? And then if I want to go back to 4.3 I just do another Odin flash?

I'm actually running CyanAOSP 4.0 on my Captivate, but it's been a while since I put that on there. Plus, the Captivate is unbrickable so I was usually kinda reckless with it and didn't always pay a lot of attention to how I got things done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Once you have twrp installed with stock 4.3, create a backup using twrp, flash the custom rom, flash gapps, and you should be good. If you want to go back to 4.3' wipe the cache, dalvik, system, restore backup you made with twrp.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrvLikHell:
Alright, I did all that, everything went of without a hitch. Didn't know about the whole backup and restoring it part. That's pretty cool. Running CM12 on it now. Seems to be working pretty well except I hate how you can only swipe up to unlock, but I can figure something out for that. Whoops, looks like it just restarted itself as I'm writing this. But with this setup it seems to be pretty easy make backups and change ROMs at will.

Thanks very much for all your help. I really appreciate the time you donated to my problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
We're all here to help each other out.

Are you flashing cm12 or 12.1? Try the latest cm12.1 or other aosp Roms to see it it still happens.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrvLikHell:
It's 12.1-20150428, Lollipop 5.1.1. I sorta have it worked out with an app, but this app doesn't show you that you're dragging your finger. I can live with it though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Try the latest from here: http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/d2tmo/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrvLikHell:
Just updated to the latest nightly build but it's still the same way. I think it's an annoying feature of Lollypop. I liked how on 4.4.2 you could swipe in any direction and unlock. Almost more of a flick than a swipe. The app I found lets me do that, except the swipe length requirement is a little longer, and it doesn't give any graphical representation of swiping, like a circle or water effect. But I'll live, or I'll try another version. I'm just stoked that all of them actually work now.

I'm still eyeing an I9300 though... quad core but no LTE, hmm...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The i9300 is nice but never cross-flash anything between the i9300 and i747/i747m as this is another good way to brick a phone!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrvLikHell:
Yes, I read about the differences. Different processors, core count, radios, etc. Almost a different phone. And they're always unlocked, no?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I believe so but you never know. The UK carriers may lock their phones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrvLikHell:
Another question, if you're still following this thread... How do you un-root the I747 running stock 4.3 with Supersu installed?

I should also ask, how do you go back to 100% stock, including the recovery, so it can receive OTA updates?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
i believe there is an option in superSU settings to unroot.

the 'going back to stock recovery' i am not sure. perhaps [MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION] will chyme in.

unless of course you made a nand backup of your stock rom before you started this (always a good idea) , then just flash that. (?).

its odd because it only happens with this phone, if I switch the sim to another phone, I never get them... (i also get the call didn't go throug/busy tone)

I usually get this only when I call another t-mobile phone (especially my SO)

Would updating the radio firmware do anything for this?

if so, is it like updating the rom? I'd like to do it if it'll do me any good

supposedly I have 02.25.11
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] monkey_knight:
it's kinda odd that you are getting a busy signal. at least it means that you're signal is going out. usually if you get a message on your phone that you can't get service, try again later, it means you have a weak signal.

in your case, maybe you're unlucky and you keep calling someone that's on the phone?

the part of switching phones and using the same sim...that sounds like something that could be fixed with a radio rom upgrade. i remember reading something about similar complaints in the past...

for radio rom upgrades, do a search and you should be able to find it...or i think one of mfrazz's rom release threads has all the rom links. just make sure that the radio rom file you find is for radio only. radio only roms are upgraded using the RUU like a normal rom, but will only effect the radio portion, so you don't have to worry about losing any information on your phone.

Hey guys,

I really do enjoy having the Moto app around, specially for voice commands, since I have a ton of tasker stuff on my phone.

I wish I could find a good way to keep the Moto app and still be able to use custom ROMs.

Is that possible?

If so, how?

Do you do that?

If so, how did you do it?

Every input is apreciated.

Thank you.

I haven't used it for a while, but you should try installing XPosed Framework.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeoswego:
The specialized Moto functions like Voice, their active display, etc need other parts of the stock ROM and kernel and will not work with a custom ROM like CM, etc. Like the other poster said, try installing Xposed and that will add most of the customization options of the custom ROM to your stock Moto ROM.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubizmo:
My wife's OnePlus One it's running the last official version of COS that was released a few months back. A few days ago she wanted to change some notification sounds, such as WhatsApp, and asked me to do it.

I went into WhatsApp settings and selected notifications, and went to choose a new one. I expected to be shown a list, but instead I was shown her download folder, with no tones in it, of course.

I know the sound files live in a subdirectory of System, and I can find them with ES Explorer. But I can't browse to them from the app settings.

I went into general settings and found the same thing to be true of ringtones and notifications in general. I tap to change but only get the download folder. It should ask me whether I wasn't to use Media Storage for this (it does on my OPO), but it doesn't.

Any idea what might be wrong, and how to fix it?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Probably somebody selected to use the file explorer as default instead of the standard media/sound picker. Try to clear the defaults for the file explorer which pops up, when you try to select tones. If that does not work, uninstall the app, choose the tones and reinstall it and make it is not selected as default next time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] NizzleFish98:
Recently I updated to OF3 and found out the hard way that there is no root method. Frustrated at the fact that nothing was available at the moment, I unhesitatingly updated to OF4 for the StageFright patch. Soon after that, I had the itch that a possible root method might be coming out for OF3 and flashed, through ODIN, the stock OF3 tar files to my OF4 S6. All booted up well and was looking flawless untill I noticed the circle with a line through it, indicating that I had no service whatsoever. Worried, I re-flashed the OF3 and got nowhere, so I turned to the AT&T support center where they had previously replaced my phone with an issue like this. I went in (under warranty) and gave them the phone to look at. 10 minutes later they realized that they couldn't do anything and replaced my phone on the spot with a brand new replacement running the original OCE firmware. I was ecstatic and relieved at the fact that I could achieve root once again. Anyway that was my tedious journey back to OCE. :good:

So you soft bricked your phone and got it replaced under warranty?

This isn't downgrading firmware, it isn't new, and it isn't ethical.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cavsoldier19d:
There are several unethical aspects on the other side to be argued. For starters, how about, is it ethical to be told what I can and can't do with a device I bought and own...especially if i paid for it in full? Is it ethical to not give me the ability to uninstall software I choose not to have on a device I own? Is it ethical to delay firmware updates that include high risk security updates for almost a year? Is it ethical to charge for Internet tethering when I already pay for Internet on a device that natively supports tethering? I can keep going if you would like....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
It is when you sign the paper that says you agree to all those things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cavsoldier19d:
Just because you sign the paper doesn't make it ethical or right. Again, one could argue, even if it's in your contract that says the carrier may provide updates whenever or not at all, is that ethical to do so in modern times and leave your customers vulnerable to attacks or security exploits because you don't provide updates in a timely manner? Its called unethical business practices in which all carriers get away with. They stick it to us, so I'm all for sticking it to them given the opportunity to do so. Either way, I'm pretty sure the carriers are getting the better side of this deal at the end of the day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
I don't like it either. But they are upfront about what you are and are not getting in your agreement. As long as they uphold their end, I don't see that as unethical. Scummy maybe, but not unethical. If you don't like it, vote with your wallet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Russ77:
Anyone buying any ATT device and expecting an unlocked bootloaders, root access, or the ability to do these things is either not doing their research or is naive. Especially those paying full price.

As the previous owner of Note 4, I have just upgraded to Note 5 while my mum is using the mi note pro.

Managed to run some benchmarks under cooling conditions, I placed the phones without cases on the top of a cupboard right under the air conditioner till they are very cool and ran it in the same position. I also ran them in normal conditions and I have 1 thing to say: Note5 ramps up like a marathon runner, the benchmarks will get better over repeated runs as if you were waking a slumping dragon while mi note pro gave the best results on the 1st attempt before dropping significantly in benchmarks after repeated runs. The irony of my analogy paints exynos 7420 as a better dragon than snapdragon 810.

I guess this means the snapdragon 810 has some serious thermal throttling going on. Note 4 on the other hand gave rather consistent results from repeated runs.

Feel free to ask me to run other benchmarks under normal, cooling or after gaming. I am also open to battery tests. Note 4 may be sold soon so better get the requests coming in for a real world test!
