info for the T

jeez person, i have to be politically correct, i haven't checked your profile yet, haha,,,,Wow, thank you so much for all the answers! ya, i've always been a little confused on the recovery term, the bootloader and download mode. you know on my sph-l710 i was playing with all kinds of things and i never did anything bad enough that i couldn't use 0din to repair. that's why i had to get a new phone, i wore the on\off out and the usb disintegrated. i figured i d keep it as a backup because its stock and it runs great. then i was given a triband in place of it and didn't know it. i had problems rooting it but got it, nothing would work through odin except twrp so i loaded philz through recovery and i've been ok ever since except the first time i installed liquid i lost cell service and sound. all sound.

im going to try some things because i get the feeling you'll answer my questions if i get them right. i believe that triband \phone may have had a problem. it got harder and harder to get into the bootloader and then poof, it stopped.

i really need it. anyway so i was thinking cm 12 also. that never fixed my cell service so i hope it works. i will let you know.

thank you very, very much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
To get data working properly on the triband while on any cm based rom, you need 2 things. 1. The virgin mobile apn fix ( pretty sure you said you were on virgin,lol) and 2. The modem-firmware fix zip. Number 2 is so that you can run regular d2spr roms on the triband s3. I will get you a link if you havent stumbled upon that on your own yet.

And.... And.... Happy flashing bro!

cm12.1 is running solid for me. I've tried all the marshmallow roms and they are awesome, but still a little laggy and glitchy. But getting better every day. AICP is my rom of choice usually and I highly recommend it also.

triband

i am on a sprint tri band but its weird because its a government thing. i have seen that virgin mobile apn fix although i have the boost mobile. im not sure what to do with it. i am going to go with cm 12. i ran it for a long time on the triband thAT DIED BUT HERE'S MY QUESTION,, gosh, i always hit that caps key,, if i flash this rom am i immediately going to lose phone and sound?,,would you give me the links to all these things and the order to put them in? please when you get time? i ran cmod 12, i ran liquid 3.2 lte, i ran aicp 12- all ran very well with no cell or sound. i did flash the fixes all after loading the roms and none worked.. thanks man. i will say this, these triband models run very very well as a stock samsung. they are just so loaded with crap. this one came with all the odex files; is that normal? one other thing, how to get a 64gig sd to work correctly in them?

i have, universal boost apn fix an all the stock s3 and ndc modem updates. all flashed none worked but remember i think that phone had a problem. thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
So you are on Sprint as your carrier? If you are, you don't need any apn fix.

1. cm12.1

Just get the latest nightly, do not get the cyanogen recovery (it's useless)

2. Get a gapps package. I use http://opengapps.org choose arm , 5.1, then the size package you want.

3. If you are on boost, then use the boost apn fix, if sprint don't bother.

4. modem-firmware fix

Boot to recovery, make a backup of system, data, and boot.

Then wipe/advanced wipe and choose system, data, cache and dalvik. Do not wipe internal or external storage. Then install the files in the order I gave them.

Then reboot, and sit tight.

You should have already gotten the updates, do not flash any modems or anything. The ndc modem is not for the triband, throw it away.

Alternately, you can flash octos m , it's built for the triband. octos

Its a good rom too. If you use that one instead of cm12.1, then you don't need the modem-firmware fix. Just rom and gapps.

But read through their thread first. Their instructions may have changed. And dont be afraid to ask questions there, the developer is incredibly helpful. You will also encounter other triband owners.

efs, effin triband__haha

let me go get this stuff. yes im on the sprint network.i backed up using philz, its backup system has things i cant find anywhere in twrp. what exactly is efs. i backed up modem etc.octos? does it have anything over cm12? ill get back. thanks man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Philz is old and outdated. Most newer roms and rom updater scripts require twrp. It is the most advanced recovery out there. You don't need efs backup. Just system, data, and boot.

Octos is a good rom, it's based on cm. Then they add a bunch of their own features. And they are the only developers that currently build a rom specifically for the triband s3. And they offer support for triband users.

I asked if you were on Sprint as your carrier because many carriers run on sprints network. Boost, virgin mobile, ting, freedompop, just to name a few. And if you're on any of those you need their apn fix.

Nag, nag, nag,

NAG, NAG, ok, you win, ill put twrp back on. its impossible to know all those little do's and don'ts to install this stuff unless i guess you were getting it as the stuff was being developed. i think i tried octos and it wouldnt load some time ago but, once again,you are changing my mind.you are the first person ive met as patient and full of information as anyone could ever want. i've really enjoyed this and ive learned a lot. so if im going to go with octos i don't need cm12 at all right or like kt747 or whatever that was you had to load it with a base system, right? im going to do this tonight so you might want to shut your computer off, haha. just tell me what exactly to do with octos,and, can i just load all this stuff into the zip cue and it will load in the order i load it in right? cm12 really isn't that big of a deal. i really think 80% of my problem was that phone.but not knowing that and trying time after time to do different things and failing gets confusing.that fixing modem symlinks is that going to be an iMG file? twrp will install it? ok if there is a file we've missed or something let me know. i'll do this tonight and tell you how it goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hilla_killa:
Madbats instruction just follow those to the T youll be fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
If you want octos, forget cm12. You won't need a modem fix either. Just rom and gapps. Get the build for d2refresh (that's the triband). If you want cm12, then you need modem fix, it's just a zip you flash along with rom and gapps.

Just go to the thread that says octos m for d2refresh. It has everything you need. They just put up a new build.

im sure glad you came back. i wet and got everything but i didn't know triband was d2 refresh. i got it. thanks. will my 64 gig card work? google play music seems to think it doesn't have the music in the right place so nits in a constant download mode. everything else is fine??? thanks man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
It hast to do with the way marshmallow handles permissions. You will find many apps requesting permissions at various times. Maybe play music needs permission to access sd card. Also sd card is not named sdcard1 anymore in Android 6.0.1. It's 6DDA1 or something like that.

Titanium will have trouble finding backups too. If you use titanium backup and have trouble, just ask, I'll walk you through it.

octos

as far as i can tell all im dealing with is android 5.1. im pretty sure this octos i finally got on here is 5.1 also. lets see if its going to boot now because it insisted it was loading onto a d2spr. now figure that one out because i cant. odin would not work at all. jeez.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Ok, did you read the octos thread? It is marshmallow. And it clearly says that you need their triband twrp to flash their rom. So that is likely why you're having trouble. Read the thread.

The triband is also referred to as spark. So follow those directions listed in the thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pgellen:
octos

i read it. i used refresh all the way through. i did what you said. i did miss what version it was. sorry about that. IT is optomizing apps right now. it look good. thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I hope it works. They usually say to use their triband rom, you need their triband twrp. Which you can install by just flashing it in your current twrp.

But hopefully it works out, although I think you'll be back here, lol.

You said it odin isn't working, what isn't working about odin? What were you trying to do with it? And lastly, do you have the Samsung USB drivers Installed? If you have the drivers, and are flashing the correct files, odin works every time.

The octos m weekly build is on this page. It's mm, and you would need mm gapps.

If you are flashing one of their old lollipop builds, then I'm confused.

One last thing, you are certain the new phone you got is a triband right? I gotta ask. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pgellen:
octos

i used all triband from twrp to the os.it says its activating cell service. im praying. believe me. i flashed twrp refresh through recovery, then loaded the rest.i think its going to work. there is bars and a 3g up there on the status bar. i think were in business.as high as you are on this rom it makes me excited. i can wait to get into setup. ill let you know. the apps optimized fine i think its ok.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

haha, i don't blame you for asking. ya, its a triband. i am not sure what is up with odin.Octos is booted and updating. i just got a beep out of the phone so were already one step up on the other triband. i don't know if you remember but on that last triband, it died. so i don't know if the problems i had with that were from the phone or what. with this one i haven't had that many problems. microsoft did an update last night but didn't finish until this morning. i don't like that. the phone works also. i did it right i just did it all through recovery. with your help. thank you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Did you flash gapps when you flashed the ROM? If yes then you're good. It's fine if you used the lollipop build, it's just a little behind. No biggie. You should have lte. Do you have lte in your area?. If you live in an area that you usually have lte, yet your phone is only giving you 3g, there may be an apn issue.

But it sounds like you got it.

i did but i flashed 5.1. i am downloading 6.0 right now. i get up at 2 am everyday to get two grandkids 70 miles away to school. i can be an idiot sometimes. how do i test for lte? i thought this rom had a lot more controls in setup. i guess i was thinking liquid. man, i liked that rom. the pie controls and that circle app on the side\. i really liked that stuff. someone needs to kick them in the butt! i have a friend that would jump right in and start helping them. hes very good. wish i could program.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Did you just try to flash marshmallow over lollipop? No no no. Gotta wipe and clean flash for that. Hope you made a backup before you tried to "update". You can only update lp to lp or mm to mm, not lp to mm.

im getting a signing key mismatch. any suggestions/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Not sure what that is. I never said to do final lp first. I was suggesting mm the whole time, lol.

Did you do a clean install of mm weekly? Wipe, system, data, cache and dalvik. Then install rom (mm) and 6.0.× gapps. For mm you gotta use mm gapps.

laugh it up funny man! i got it running very well., regardless of your instructions!! dont take that serious, i appreciate the time you have given me. i have heard of that error. its a signing thing between the firmware and each individual app. doesn't mean i know how to fix it but ive only got it on samsungs smart switch. which, im past that anyway. do you have some time or would you rather wait till tomorrow or are you tired of my ****?

nevermind. i just found it. the file system is different. i've been trying to figure that out but i got it. i know i drove killa killa crazy and i shouldn't even talk to you guys when im tired. i been up since 3 am and it starts again in 5 hrs. im too old to raise kids. ive read through more threads than i can stand. and its really not easy to find what you need in there.you been great thanks.ill have another triband next week and ill start trying new stuff again. how do i check lte again. i don't download anything over data lines anyway so do i care or should i care.the phone and sound work great. thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
That error is probably from flashing mm over lp without wiping system or flashing the wrong gapps.

You should have wiped and started over. You're making this harder than it has to be.

1. Latest octos m weekly

2. Open gapps = arm 6.0× - whatever size you want.

Flash the octos build of twrp for triband, it's a zip, just install through recovery. Then reboot recovery, wipe data, system, cache and dalvik.

Then go back to recovery home

Tap install then rom (octos m zip)

Add more zips

Select your gapps

Swipe flash/install

Sit and wait.

Done

hey,, wait, wait,,,i have been up and running since yesterday afternoon. running very well. i wanted to talk about sd cards and well, i found a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THIS MORNING. I JUST SPENT ALMOST 200 MILES ON THE ROAD with no bluetooth headphones. . I NEED A CUP OF COFFEE AND THEN ILL GO BACK TO WORK YOU ARE DEFINITELY RIGHT[caps sorry],,,this is a neat rom. but you are angry for some reason. i can guess why i suppose i can probably figure the bluetooth out. im actually better with flashing stuff than people give me credit for.no sound through blutooth. where are the app and priapp folders?

i sure hope those little smart alec jokes didnt upset you. i was just playing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Naahhh, I don't get angry. I'm having fun. Bluetooth should work. For that, try posting in the octos thread. You looking for system app or data app? You need a root file explorer. Then look in system/app and system/priv-app.

Glad youre up and running. You mentioned an error, I was addressing that.

So did you end up on lp or mm? Just curious. I assume you found all the goodies in tentacles.

Surprised you got it, I tried to mislead and misdirect you at every turn. Lol. (See I'm funny)

From your success it looks like that last triband you had was a dud. So not your fault.

Octos devs are pretty helpful if you pop in their thread to ask about the Bluetooth trouble.

i believe that you may have done just that! you never said anything about an update being the operating system. you got to remember, us old people from the dos age, who, by the way, were very, very good at what we did, an update was an "update"! gosh dang-it! im just kidding.i don't know how busy on the other threads you are but id rather work through this with you.i need my bluetooth. but , since i cant leave a message with octos fix it team,,did you tell them i was coming?,,ill figure something out.so after all themisleading of the alzheimer rommer, after all the abuse ive taken, i learned a hell of a lot and i thank you. i knew how to do it but the triband threw me off.
