[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack_fry:
Hi,

Details about phone: Samsung S6 (G920I) I can't remember the exact ROM im on (yes im a noob). However my build number is LMY47X, which when searched by most views comes up with this rom (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-w/development/rom-aosp-alpha-1-t3107740) Android version 5.1.1 I have TWRP v. 3.0.2-1 as my custom recovery.

So my phone keeps restarting randomly been getting worse over the past few weeks. So I want to try a new ROM (had my current one for like 8 months). So I made a ROM back up just in case through TWRP and backed up all my user data through Titanium and exported both of it onto my PC.

I found a ROM I want to use "XtreStoLite" ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423) but I have a few questions before I try to install it.

First of will this work fine for the current setup I have?

Since I'm on 5.1.1 and they have a ROM version for 6.0.1 will I be able to install this version or do I have to use the 5.1.1 version? I've tried updating to 6.0.1 on my current ROM but my provider won't let me update OTA. Only way is to remove root and return it back to the stock ROM which I don't really want to do if I can avoid it.

Please help, any information will be greatly appreciated, feel free to ask any questions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast69mopar:
This ROM will work for your device. Based on what I read in the OP's post on how to install this ROM there are two prerequisites. You will need to use Odin to flash a Marshmallow bootloader and a Marshmallow modem for this ROM to work. This is an excerpt from the ROM's OP:

How-to Install:

Install Marshmallow bootloader & modem and install custom recovery:

- Install the correct MM bootloader & modem for your model with Odin (see post #5 of this thread)

- Make sure that you have an working TWRP custom recovery installed.

If you follow the OP's instructions you should not have any problems. Make sure you read, read and read. The OP has given an excellent guide. Post #5 in this thread has the download links for the Marshmallow bootloader and modem and instructions on what slot to put the files in using Odin. Good luck and happy flashing.

Also, if you wanted to stick with a Lollipop ROM the OP still has links to his Lollipop ROM's available.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adriangb:
So the Android Authority review said that the dialer is not compatible with Google Voice. This is huge for me. Can someone test this? Try a 3rd party dialer?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
But if you put the phone to your ear, it lets you use voice commands to choose who to dial.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adriangb:
Sorry, but that has nothing to do with Google Voice. What you are referring to is the voice feature of Google Now. Thanks for the reply though
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] macallik:
Going off of the article, I think that it means that you are unable to route Google Voice calls via the stock app. Some potential work-arounds might be to use Hangouts Dialer to make calls and/or if possible, download the stock Android dialer APK or a 3rd party dialer and make all Google Voice calls through that instead.

Will have to wait for more information/reviews to see what the full extent of it is.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adriangb:
That is what I figured, but this is very strange. This is the very same issue I have on my Mate 8. Unfortunately, at least for the Mate 8, using a 3rd party dialer does not resolve the issue. Hangouts dialer lacks noise cancellation and other essential features.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adriangb:
Update: got my device. Seems to be working flawlessly thus far!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] GiancarloMorr24:
Just to clarify, Google Voice works with your Axon 7?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
just use hangouts dialer. It works with google voice.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adriangb:
And get worse call quality, more dropped calls and worse coverage? No thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
How does google voice and the hangouts dialer differ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adriangb:
It routes your calls via your carriers normal network, for example VOLTE or 2G. It also allows your device to use it's native noise cancelling features, which are much more optimized than Hangouts Dialer
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] adriangb:
Yes, it seems to be working flawlessly
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] GiancarloMorr24:
Awesome. Thanks.

Hi All,

Need help with resolving the issue on my rooted phone not allowing any settings to be persisted.

I rooted my Moto X 2013 XT1053 using the below guide: (still on stock rom)

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-how-to-root-5-1-unlocked-t3140217

Issues:

App settings are lost after reboot/restart

Cant save settings for most apps (whatsapp, ES Explorer, Uber, CF.Lumin etc..)

Cant recieve or send attachments in whatsapp

Behaviour observed: - Most issues are observed on apps that are updated or are not system apps.

ES File Explorer File Manager - I have the old free version of it installed and it can store its settings without any problem. But if I install the latest version, it cant save any settings and cannot do any write operations.​

CF.lumin - save the settings but looses them when ever I restart/reboot my phone.​

WhatsApp - downloads backup, and allows regular chats, but cannot download or upload any attachments. And looses all configuration when phone is restarted. have to start form scratch and reconfigure my account each time.​

I have searched for a while now to resolve this issue, installed FolderMount, Mount /System RO/RW, edited the platform.xml file... but none resolved the issue.

Can some one please help me with a working solution that I might have missed.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
Greetings,

I really don't want this to be a repeat post, so I have spent many days now searching for this answer, not just here on XDA if I was honest, I have links to prove it ;)

The aim is to give a little new life to my old phone, and get off the 4.1 build it is on.

With that said, in summary, I have tried a few different custom ROMs; Cyanogenmod 11 - 13, stable to nightly. PAC MAN ROM for Lollipop, some other roms for KitKat I found else where, but in all these I have not been able to get 4G to work. I understand about updating the Modem, and got the latest version from DocHoliday77's post for the Galaxy S3, in point of fact I tried every modem version for 4.3+ on there :D

But for all this, and it's been time consuming I never managed to actually get 4G to work as stated :(

I tried playing with settings in Test Mode (*#*#4636#*#*), changed preferred settings, added APN's, rebooting during certain phases of the moon :)... but somehow it all avails me diddly.

Finally I have genuinely tried searching for info on if this just isn't going to happen and that's how it is, but somehow I found lots of posts about other models or networks that made it work more than something saying this won't work (putting aside the info on CM 11 that states it's a known issue and won't work on some build I forget).

Which leads me to this post: I wondered if anyone could point me in either the direction of a 4.4+ custom ROM or other ROM, compatible for SGH-T999 (T-Mobile Galaxy S3), that has working 4G. Or how I can get 4G to work on one of the ROMs I have already tried, kind of partial to a nice CM but I am willing to venture.

Also happy to just hear other input about giving new life to the phone so any feedback welcome :)

Thanks for your time!

NOTES

======

Using TWRP 3.x for flashing

Phone is rooted

IMEI is visible & fine on custom ROM

4G works on stock ROM

not experienced at this but willing to read :)

Edit: something I had not noticed before, I install Gapps for most of my tests but never use it. I just tried to download from Play Store, it acts as though I have no connection; waiting to download appears, then eventually it says waiting for network. Yet I am able to browse the net fine with the phone floating between 3G & H+. I don't know if that might help, so figured I should add it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Is the phone running the latest bootloader and modem? Maybe both are needed to properly get 4g on all Roms?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
That's a really good question, let me see if I can find out how to get my bootloader info and I'll get back to you.

May I ask what the latest bootlader is for the SGH-T999, or where I could find this so I can compare it? I couldn't seem to find it, though the most resourceful post I did find related was T999 UVDMD5 Firmware / Bootloader by mnasledov, though it is also a little outdated it appears, I haven't read my entire way through it yet sorry, I also know the phone is a little outdated too :).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
So that wasn't too bad to find out :)

I don't have the latest bootloader if that should match the baseband I install.

Where after a ROM install I get my baseband to T999UVUEOH1, but the bootloader stays on T999UVDLJA.

I haven't quite found where to get the latest bootloader just yet, though I did really spend the last few minutes discovering about the bootloader; if you or someone could find the time to point me in that direction that would be awesome :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Simplest way to make sure you have the latest would be to flash the most recent stock rom from sammobile.com in Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
Thank you very much [MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION], I do appreciate the time you took out to help me and I also appreciate the point in the direction of what next.

I'll go dig into that for a while and see what to do to be sure, before I start :)

Looks like this is the latest one, so I will give this a shot : PDA T999UVUEOH1 & CSC T999TMBEOH1, version 4.3.

So just as a quick question, since I've never upgraded the bootloader in this fashion etc., from what I have read this is a one way street correct? And since I am upgrading to stock, then I guess will I lose root, which I will have to go back down the path of for a reinstall, or could I flash my old back up over this from TWRP and in that fashion have the latest bootloader, but keep everything I have for the moment as I investigate a ROM that will offer 4G.

I guess what I am getting at is even if having the latest bootloader and some other ROM with the latest baseband doesn't give me 4G still, can I go back in terms of the OS version to my 4.1.1 and keep things as is with a newer bootloader?

I will investigate this myself too, I just always preferred some additional input when discovering things where possible.

I do appreciate your time, thanks again!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
No, you cannot run stock 4.1.1 on a 4.3 bootloader unless it is a custom 4.1.1 rom based on a stock touch wiz rom.

I do not think it is a problem to run the latest bootloader and modem as the latest custom ROMs often require an updated bootloader and modem.

Once on a 4.3 bootloader, you can't downgrade to something older.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
Thanks again [MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION], that matches what I have read, I appreciate the confirmation!

Looks like I will be undergoing a re-root etc. so I'll get my information together, have a little more read, see what I need to back up and then jump down the rabbit hole :)

I'm grateful for your time and help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
If you decide to run a custom rom, just flash a stock rom, then immediately flash twrp via Odin, then install the rom and gapps. No need to root before hand.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
Ahh ok, that would have made the most sense. However I didn't have an opportunity to check back on this thread until now so even though you had awesome speedy reply I missed it.

I did manager to successfully flash the stock ROM from Sam's. It did also update the bootloader so THANK YOU very much for that.

I had to fiddle a little to get Odin to recognize the my Galaxy S3 in the end it was simple: after I installed Kies to get the drivers on, I disabled WI-Fi (I use it for my dev work, and then it didn't try to spend time getting other drivers and it all went great. But that's just a note incase maybe one day someone else reads the thread and wonders how, this might help.

I'm just actually restoring a couple f things on the stock ROM, I figured I would have it ready in the event a custom ROM doesn't suit immediately, as I find one I like, then I have a back up of the stock ROM on 4.3 to revert to. Incidentally I just used TWRP manager from Google play store to install TWRP, hopefully it's the same as the flash, except now I know I rooted when I didn't have to :)

[MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION] Thanks, I know I keep saying that but I appreciate your time the same way I would hope someone else appreciated mine.

Incidentally once ready I will post an update here about the success of getting 4G on Cyanogenmod 12 or even 13 maybe, or someone of the other custom ROM I try, to share that info.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
So just an update, I can confirm even with both an updated bootloader and matching updated baseband there is still no 4G on Lollipop Cyanogenmod 12, haven't quite tried any other yet, that was the one I liked the most but I will carry on and get a list as I have time then update here.

If there are any further suggestions I'm all open to them :)

Thanks again@
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
Do you get 4G on a stock ROM? You have an LTE capabale sim? You get 4G on another phone with the same sim card?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
Right, this SIM gets 4G on 2 other phones it's been in, on this phone on stock ROM it gets 4G too. Reverting back to stock backup in TWRP, from CM12 looks like it tripped knox I think it is, so now the warranty bit is 1 oops. But I managed to Odin back to 4.3 stock, so now I also need to see if I can try to flash maybe to CM 11, which is 4.4.x, or if maybe I'm stuck here. If I can find out I certainly will update the result of 4G testing.

You've been really patient & helpful thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shack70:
First let me say I'm a noob. I've rooted and jailbroken devices but I admit it's all from falling instructions. I rooted my s3 a while ago and installed twrp 1.0.8.7 yesterday. I did a full wipe including system and all catches and installed the latest nightly of cm13. Everything is running great. I don't know if this helps but maybe it's your process. Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
That's really helpful thanks [MENTION=5679372]Shack70[/MENTION], since updating to 4.3 I have only tried CM 12, I can certainly give 13 a shot, & you have 4G working then please?

incidentally I have actually recorded every step I performed, in the event I repeat this again or I had to explain it. But my process maybe at fault I agree; I rooted my phone with towelroot. Installed TWERP manager (3.0.2 something, maybe I should try 1.0.8?), rebooted into recovery & first thing was take a full backup on stock. Then I did a factory wipe, & advanced wipe. Then installed the ROM, wiped dalvik/cache. Installed Apps, wipe dalvik/cache, reboot :)

Hopefully that's not too much? I just wonder if any of those steps raise alarm?

Edit: mind if I throw a few questions on here at you please [MENTION=5679372]Shack70[/MENTION]?

what do you wipe from the options please?

after the install, do you run any other wipes please?

how did you get TWRP on your phone? Not sure if that or version matters but I'm willing to try :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shack70:
In twrp I wiped system and all caches before installing the rom and gapps. I installed an older version of twrp using Odin and updated it to 2.0.8.7 using the twrp app in the play store. Yes I have 4g/lte. I've seen it switch from lte to h+ to 3g depending on my location so I'm sure it's working correctly. The camera and Bluetooth also work fine. I hope this helps, I'm still learning and most of what I've done is just by following others instructions here at XDA.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
I definitely appreciate the reply thanks!

I gave the latest nightly CM 13 a shot just now, 7/31/16 version essentially. Not finding any issues with the ROM, can't get 4G to show up no matter what though :confused: , even with changes and attempts to APN settings etc. None the less maybe to give my phone a rest I'll just stick with this a while and decide if a newer nightly comes out I want to try, or better yet a stable version at some point. Then I can verify how much I really miss my 4G I guess.

All the previous attempts, including this one always results in 3G to H+ network with no issue, it's just that 4G that never shows up for me.

Incidentally without a serious search around I couldn't even find TWRP 2.0.8.7, it's not on the TWRP manager version I have so curious, I ended up just going with 2.8.0.7, thinking maybe it was a typo? :)

Otherwise I basically run the same type of install you mention, I also clean dalvik, cache, system & data in my case. Just to confirm that.

I have a slightly off topic question here, if I decide to go back to to stock I was wondering, if i went from UVUEOH1 4.3 JB build, to the previous UVUENC2 4.3 JB build; because I've seen this available as a clean route 66 version, is this still considered a downgrade and a bad idea? I'd be flashing with Odin from [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] post here.

[MENTION=5679372]Shack70[/MENTION], thanks for the input, thanks for the guide on your steps, glad I've confirmed I'm doing the same even if I can't get my 4G, hopefully someone on a Galaxy S3 T-Mobile, went through this found a solution, and maybe will let me know what they did too, not sure if you are on T-Mobile or not.
[MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION], also thanks, you've been replying plenty too and I appreciate that also!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
One small thing I just came across looking over the logs of the install.

When flashing CM 13 with TWRP, I noticed it said the Target: samsung/d2tmo/d2tmo:4.3/JSS15J/T999UVUEMJC:user/release-keys.

Is it normal and OK for it the be referencing a different baseband/bootloader than what I actually have on my phone?

UVUEMJC vs the UVUEOH1? Where the one as named by TWRP flash is 2 versions older than what I have installed? Not necessarily stating this is an issue, just asking please if this is normal, and I also understand it could be something I have overlooked in my reading, it's been a lot of reading :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
I would not worry about the referenced baseband as flashing CM13 does not change the bootloader or baseband during the flash process.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
That makes sense thanks [MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION], just a few of the questions I had building up.

So that my previous question doesn't get lost, and although I know it's a dying phone for users hopefully this might get some visual :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audit13:
I am not sure if you can flash from oh1 to nc2. If you can, Odin will allow it.

Personally, I would stick with the oh1 bootloader and modem. I think the Route 66 is a prerooted rom. You could achieve the same thing by flashing twrp and then flashing supersu from twrp to have a rooted stock rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
there you go again with the reply, thanks! :)

Yeah I took route_66 to be what you said with a little clean up already done in it, that was the appeal to me. But I can stick with OH1 no problem, just experimenting with different custom Marshmellow ROMs now, CM13 is very nice, but I have an issue so I am going to try OctOS next to see if that's better :)

EDIT

Found a work around for my CM 13 issue so rather than torture my phone I'll stick with this and see how it works out.

I'll spend that time to investigate and research difference between the two ROMs OctOS looks really nice at first glance!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cdsbj6508:
May I ask, how you did your work around?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Morrigon:
Hi [MENTION=1789140]cdsbj6508[/MENTION],

My issue on CM13 was actually related to Bluetooth, I should have put that in my first post sorry D'oh!

I never quite got my 4G to work, I did manage to get a reply from Shack70 where he mentioned he encountered an issue with 4G and his workaround, that did work, was to go get a new sim from TMobile. I will probably resort to that myself, but I have just not found the time for it yet :(

If your issue is about 4G then I am sorry I wish I really wish I had a reply to say I got it working without too much change, but alas no. However the fact another user has reported they had success by changing their sim is certainly positive enough to give it a shot if you would like to :)
