[Q] Stock Rom - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I'm on stock rom XXALI5
I've rooted and deleted some system apps what i'll never use n now notifications won't vibrate? not sure if it did before tbh
Anyhow i just did a factory reset and the system apps have not returned
I didn't install CF-CWM so i didn't make any back ups
I now have it installed and i was wondering where i can download the XXALI5 Uk Fw to Reinstall if that is Possible i'm still a Noob!! to android
The main reason is so i can do a Back Up of Stock Rom and then install a Custom Rom tho my current modded Stock Rom is fine and stable just no Notification Vibration ?
Thanks in advance

Unless installing the new Fw posted here will be ok, n just reroot using CF-CWM ?
Is that Possible?

What notifications don't vibrate, all or just some say messaging, email etc. Things you can check is, is vibration turned on in settings/sound.
There is also an option to have vibration on or off for received emails and messages, both in the settings of the app under the "Notification Settings" header so you can see if that is checked.
Because you have removed the apks from the system/app, doing a factory reset will not reinstall those removed apps as a factory reset will wipe the data partition, so it is good to have a backup if you are playing with the system files or have them in a flashable zip incase you edit or remove one that puts you in a bootloop.
You can download original firmware from sam mobile and samsung-updates websites and flash in either odin or mobile odin. If you flash in odin you will need to flash cwm and re root the phone, if you use mobile odin you can tick ever root option so you won't need to re root the phone or flash cwm again.

On samsung-updates there is lots of regeon options but none for uk, so which one would work for uk ? Its all new to me

And as far as i know it was just text messages that was getting no vibration..
Just made a backup on my modded stock rom n now installing Pandoriam 1.7
Hoping all goes well :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Deodexed Stock XXJVT - root problem

I installed Deodexed Stock XXJVT stock rom from here, and everything went well. Than I wanted to root it. I did that with this kernel CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip, and it also went well. After that I wanted to "restore to factory settings" - format my user data. When I tried that, phone rebooted, than went to Android system recovery, and ask me to choose one of the options (see picture). I tried "wipe data/factory reset", but I got error messages from picture bellow. Tried again with same result.
Than I flashed phone with stock rom and stock kernel AGAIN. Tried to restore to factory settings, and 1. phone DIDN'T go to system recovery, and 2. erased all data WITHOUT any errors and with complete success.
Than I tried AGAIN (for the second time) to root with same kernel (again it went well). Than AGAIN tried to restore to factory settings (erase private data), and AGAIN problem mentioned above happened.
Now I have stock rom and stock kernel again. I need root for some things, but I don't know how to solve this problem. Could someone please help me with this?
Thanks.
hello
use odin to flash it see here
original rom xxjvt : http://www.techgom.com/2011/10/install-235-gingerbread-xxjvt-on.html
how to root it : http://www.techgom.com/2011/10/cf-root-for-gingerbread-235-xxjvt.html

you must translate page to english with google chrome
You've already done a hard reset, so just install cf kernel again. Most instructions say wipe before flashing, you have still removed previous files etc

Thanks both for quick reply.
@seghier
Thanks for these instructions. I did slightly different process. Maybe this why I got all these errors. I did use ODIN, but I flashed rom with "re-partition" checked (instruction says it shoudn't be checked), and also I used PIT while I am doing this and this instruction says I should do this without it. Check attachemnt picture for hw I did this.
Also, I did root with only PDA, and this tutorial says I should also PIT file included. See attachment for how I did this root.
I am a newbie so I am not sure if this could cause these errors? And did I do something wrong flashing and rooting phone my way?
Should I do this again following this two tutorials or not?
Also I am not sure what is DEODEXED means? Is there any differences between regular stock rom, and this DEODEXED one?
I just want regular stock rom and regular root.
oxeded rom is the original rom from samsung / deodexed is rom can be modified by users and you find in xda forums the difference
the method in photo is right
or you can install deodexed rom from here and the flash very easy :
http://www.multiupload.com/E9AT600ZUC
than use the files like see in image without pit or repartition
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/1808/ppppas.png
Thanks, I will try now.
I still checked "re-partition" because I was using before DEODEXED, and now I am flashing ODEXED rom, so I thought maybe it is a different partition type. Is this ok? Flash went okay.
hello
when you find pit file repartition cheked automaticly
tell me if you success with flashing
Yes I did, thank you. But this problem with unable to restore to factory settings, after do root, still exist, even on ODEXED rom. It is deffinatelly some bug.
if you have problems you can format your sd card but first save all your files and data files using cwm : than create backup
you can try other deodexed rom from : s i9000 developement
i used the original deodexed rom and work fine
I don't have external SD card, just internal memory. Backup isn't problem. I wanted to delete all my personal data, but this error happenes. Did you try erase personal data AFTER did a root?
try this
settings ----- sd card and phone storage-------usb storage : format usb storage
and that remove all your files : music photos ...etc
-for hard reset try this : *2767*3855#
-factory data reset : *#*#7780#*#*
save all your photos and music ....
I already bring back some things, and also I managed to erased all that before doing root, so I won't experimenting anymore for now. Thak for your help. I will try this next time I want to clean my phone completly.
i hope that work for you
and deodexed rom more better because you can add new theme or launcher or flash update without limit than oxeded rom
good luck
Thanks.
try a new kernel
working now? please give a feedback ?
Like a wrote before. DEODEXED and ODEXED both work and I CAN restore to factory settings. After do root, it can't ba done anymore. I tried every possible combination, but result is same, so I guess that can't be done (which isn't so importante to me because I already restored to factory settings before apply root).
I didn't try other kernel (don't know either where to find other kernel), because I already installed programs, made personal settings, so I don't want again to wype all that.
If someone of you could try this it would be okay.
try semaphore kernel is very nice :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
use this application to install kernel :
https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher
and this application for save all your application to external card and you can restore it :
http://fr.appbrain.com/app/app-backup-restore/mobi.infolife.appbackup
--------
and don t forget to make backup with cwm
I am not so experienced about all this. What is difference between semaphore kernel and that other kernel I used for root?
Also if someone else could try this, who need to clean phone anyway, because I just make everything to work OK, so I don't want to experiment again.

[Q] factory reset darky's rom

i have rooted my galaxy s through odin and i am using darky's rom 10.2, now i have to factory reset my galaxy s, so i wanted to ask that whether is it safe to factory reset my galaxy s from the privacy menu or not???
please help
Yes it's safe, but remember you're gonna lose anythin on your internal sd-card. So make a backup with titanium first of your apps (and data, like the history of whatsapp ).
If you want to get more geeky, you could do a wipe from the Recovery mode too by using the 3 button combination.
To go back to Original stock rom-i9000
To go back to the original stock rom, use the link:

[Q] Can I install the stock rom as a custom rom?

Dear All,
i have SGN 2.3.6 with stock rom, after making the root and installing recovery, I found that music player and gallery do not see any songs or pics stored in USB Storage, and it is not the nomedia file issue since I did not find it on my phone, I have a thread here but with no solution.
Q1: is this normal or something went wrong? and how to solve it?
Q2: If can not solve it unless I flash the stock rom once again, and then I will lose root which I need, So, Can I keep the rooted stock rom as my main rom, and install the stock rom as if it is a custom rom via CWM to try if it will solve my problem
Take a look here for all the info you need. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Using 'mobile odin' you can flash a stock ROM and either tick everroot to keep root or use a rooted kernel (chainfire). Better instructions in the link above

1. Confirm you have data intact in interna storage. if you can see data in yout data storage, then go to setting - application -- manage - All- gallery - clear cache n data
same way do for music player. May it solve your problem.
2. If you have CF CWM, you can flash stock ROM, you can read installation guide from my signature, it has been described there, How to flash stock ROM with CWM with keeping root intact.

Just I want to know if I flash the stock rom your way, would it keep all my stuff (names, settings, apps) or it will be like a format?
if you flash non wipe ROM, it will remain as it is.

If I choose :
Older ROMs (Directly Rootable)
N7000JPKK2 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OJPKK2 -------------------United Arab Emirates ---------------Download
will this be non wipe rom?
it is the same I have now (I mean the same version, it is not upgrade or downgrade)
After I flash, I will hopefully find everything I had before there plus the root and CWM and the gallery fix?
what is the different between putting music and pics in USB Storage and in SD card (I don not have an external sd card)
I m not sure, but if your version was/is available on kies, it is nonwipe
There is a new version of UAE released y'day. that is Non wipe version.
You can put media file any place Int/Ext card
I checked right now for any updates via phone (OTA), and did not find any updates
Iam upgrading now via Kies, I finished downloading the new firmware and now the upgrade is in progress, but it moves 1% each 4 minutes, is this normal, (Iam new with Samsung since I used to use HTC phones before)

[Q] Stock Bootloader

Hi there,
Not long ago i got a P970 and proceeded to root it and install CWM on my device using an all in one solution from this site, unfortunately it didn't seem to create a backup of the stock bootloader and i am unable to perform updates to the device as they all try to boot in to the stock bootloader to finish the update process which is ofc missing, does anyone have a copy of the stock bootloader for the P970, incase its of relevance i'm using one in the UK on the Orange network
I thank you in advance for any replies
Bump anyone got a copy of the bootloader?
If you flash stock vanilla rom it will overwrite CWM with stock.

Couple of small issues is that i dont want to lose everything i've installed and setup so far and the only images i can find of the stock ROM's are .kdz files which use the LG tools to flash and those require me to be able to boot to the standard software update tool found on the phone which doesn't seem to work with CWM installed as i can't do any OTA updates either.
dude, I already answered to you by pm. this cannot be saved, you have to flash again to recover the standard loader. AND, you don't have to boot or something else except going in s/w mode. just backup your apps / datas with 3nd party app then restore them after the flash. standard recovery is absolutely uneeded and is even useless. you might restore full datas with cwm by going into the advanced menu.

ROM Manager problem...

I installed the 5.0.2 CWM recovery to manually install the 4.0.4 update on my NexusS via Rom Manager application to avoid extra fuss since I will not be dealing anyway with custom roms, etc. Everything went fine with the update and indeed at every consequent reboot into recovery, the stock ICS appears meaning that it has overwritten CWM, as I wanted and as should happen ​​when installed over stock rom.
However, in Rom Manager still shows "current cwm version 5.0.2" even after clear cache & data application and uninstall / reinstall. Should I try manual stock recovery reflash or hard work for free and the program is simply... stuck??
maybe you have a nexus s 4g and put just nexus s? (or vice-versa).
your phone is unlocked and rooted, correct?
•neXus•S4G•ĄØKP•Mïlestøne 4•Aïr Kerneł 3.7•
It's locked and has always been cuz I rooted the simple way - without unlocking...
I flashed the correct version since everything worked fine at all stages. It's just that indication in the app that put me in thoughts...
SOLVED: Problem was a leftover folder post app uninstall in sdcard named clockworkmod. Deleted and when reinstalled the app to check, it correctly reported that I must install CWM in order to flash and restore ROMs. Rest assured now that I am 4.0.4 stock
