Are you on a stock ROM. Custom roms can cause problems when trying to change numbers ect. So flash a stock rooted rom and see if the problem occurs again

so i tried to find one but still didn't work do u know of a good completely stock rom w root i think the correct problem im having is the epst codes correct me if im wrong

The codes, if I recall correctly, only work on Sense based ROMs. Custom ROMs CAN cause issues but for the most part they SHOULD work fine. If you are having problems on a sense based ROM then you can flash the latest stock rooted ROM and you should be good to go. If worse comes to worse you can RUU back to stock and then run the code. I am pretty sure that your grandfather isn't going to care if the phone is rooted or not.

Koodo SGH T-989D

The tutorial for Rooting and all these ROMs present in android development section, are they the same for the T-989D Canadian version? Flashing them would work? I'm tried searching but it would just bring up roms based on T-989D. Just need a quick confirmation before I root and flash. Thanks.:angel:

I'm pretty sure that if something can be flashed on T989 (T-Mobile), it can be flashed on T989D (Telus/Koodo). I understand that the are just some small differences wrt access to download mode and recovery. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2079776
btw, I have a T989D on Koodo

Short answer is yes! Everything you will find here is working perfectly fine on the canadian version.
So go ahead and root/flash away!

I have a T989D on Koodo which I've been messing with quite extensively, and yeah, everything is basically the same. The download/recovery mode linked above is the only major difference.
One thing of note, if you end up messing up the device and need to fully reflash from Odin, the t-mobile stock may not work. I tried over and over to recover from what was essentially a brick (ultra, ultra slow) and it just stayed that slow, even though it did seem to boot and connect and everything. It was totally unusable, however.
I found a different one that did work however, I can't seem to find the post anymore but I'm sure you'll be able to get it if you need it, there seem to be others out there with the same name, but not quite the same filesize. That shouldn't really matter as you'll doubtless go back to a custom rom anyway, the point is just to get you back to something that works.
For reference, the name of the one that worked for me is "SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Odex_zipaligned_signed.zip" and it's 422 MB. This post seems to have a Koodo stock zip as well as the T-mobile one, it's about 100MB less but again, that really shouldn't matter so long as it's Koodo.
Hopefully you'll never need to use it, but I just wanted to let you know that even if you have to recover and some files don't seem to be working, keep trying, because the correct ones are out there! Just may need to search a bit for 'em

A few more things SGH-T989D owners may want to be aware of:
1) This is an excellent resource: [ROM][Stock]T989UVLI4 (4.0.4) ♛ T989DTLLE4 (4.0.3) ♛ T989DTLLG2[ODIN][TWRP/CWM]
2) You might want to search and replace all "T989" with "T989D" in build.prop
" " replace all "TLLG2" with whatever radio your new ROM is using.
If you're on Koodo you might want to assign that to the ro.carrier property
3) If you've got a data plan with you might want to search the web for your carrier's apn info and insert it into "Settings|Wireless & networks|Mobile networks"
Note: This stuff is optional in the sense that your stuff is probably going to work if you don't make these changes. I haven't always updated all this after switching to a new custom rom, but I did notice that I showed up on the Telus network as a T989 as opposed to a T989D on the Koodo network. Really they're the same network but ... I don't know. Maybe I just over think things... I do like the fact that when I plug my phone into the computer or go to the play store or whatever that my phone reports as what it actually is and what radio it uses etc. I don't really care that much as long as my stuff works and I have access to apps that are appropriate for the hardware I'm using. YMMV.
Note2: Most of this info can be gleaned from your stock rom's "CSC" folder and build.prop file. When I have a little more time I'll write this up so its more understandable for those new to flashing Roms. Just wanted to mention that there are a few other tiny, nearly insignificant differences btw the T989 and T989D so that the OP and/or others can address these points if they choose to. At least not be surprised if it looks as though they're using data on a network with a different phone.
Note3: Maybe the only thing that matters is an imei number from your SIM. I don't really know. Be glad to be "told" by anyone that knows. I just know that these things are different even if they don't make a bit of difference in practice.

Re:Koodo SGH-T989D
Hello I'm new to posting on the forums, sorry If I've missed the answer to this question already!
I have a Koodo SGH-T989D that I got in September, before that I was using a non smart flip phone . So I'm quite new to this whole rom business, but even android/ smart phone os in general.
I've been able to flash many roms in the past couple months and have a good understanding of what it is i'm doing. Never had an issue I couldnt fix myself actually, so I've never made an account.
This latest problem has me puzzled though, I've totally lost data connection on my s2x while using any radio. I use SGH-T989D_TLLG2_Koodo_radio but I tried UVLI4 just to see.
However I did change a few things up from my usual routine to flash 4.2.1
1: changed twrp to 2.4.1.0 from 2.2 cwm flashable zip
2: moved all my zips to sd card and formatted internal memory(to eliminate possible issues)
Before this I was using twrp 2.2 and only doing a clean install, not formatting internal sd without any issues or instability.
I've been on [4.2.1 | 4.2.2] AOKP :: jb-mr1 :: build 3 and very impressed with it, except this one issue.
In the thread there is a post that refers to getting data working with koodo, so I think its an apn/proxy setting. I just am not sure where I would have to change these settings.
Just restored a recent nandroid backup and everything works fine.
Can anyone help me out, any insight or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Go to settings > wireless and network, more... > mobile networks > access point names > then hit your options button > New APN > enter the details found on the page linked above.
Hope that solves it for you.

Re:Koodo SGH-T989D
Thank you so much, worked right away!
The reason I didnt just look up koodo apn settings is because I had no idea what they were.
And Until now I've never had an issue.
Is this something to do with aokp 4.2 or is it because I formatted my internal storage?
Since mid December I've tried out about 5 or 6 roms just to see how they compared to stock. And all I have to say is wow!
Thank you to all those who make this possible, it really is a great community.
I was on stock koodo rom and unrooted until december because my charge port stopped working after like 3 months...? So I went looking for info and I was brought here, haven't looked back since.

When to check for proper apn info?

Ususally associated with radio upgrades; but rather than get too particular, its good practice to check the apn info after any ROM upgrade. If you think about it, any of the hercules upgrades are going to be the same across the board for any given update. Where they're different is where we want to pay particular attention. In this case, carrier specific information.

i flashed Hyperdrive rls14 to a boostmobile Gs3

my friend just got a gs3 today from boostmobile and he told me to root it and since i saw that the version was sprints the rooting went well. When installing the cmw recovery it gave so many options that i didnt kno which one to install so i installed the one that said us phones. Then when flashing the rom the 1st time i put it as if it was sprints it went to home screen but the camera wasnt working... my friend was pissed then i tried the metro politan us one thats and it changed the version of sprint of that company but im still having problems with the camera i just want to kno how to install it right or a rom thats stable for the boosmobile gs3 not stock android either or at least how to make kies download the proper drivers so odin can recognize the phone and i can restore it any help would be appreciated

I would suggest checking out THIS THREAD. Also, did you make a Nand before Flashing ? There may be some helpful info there.

No i didnt im soo F**** if i cant get his camera working or i rom thts stable for boost mobile and on the tread was kind of help but kind of didnt still answer my question

You could try freeza's Stock Rooted Rom. It may resolve your Camera issue. But I'm not sure about the other settings for Boost Mobile. If that does not resolve the issue, you may want to ODIN back to Stock. But again it may affect your Boost Mobile settings.

Samsung Galaxy S III - SCH-S960L

Wondering if the new Straight Talk model SCH-S960L was going to be supported in the Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit anytime soon? I just purchased. I also have a SPH-L710 on Sprint that worked great. Too afraid to use the same settings on this new SCH-S960L just yet.
Thanks!

SlimBean Rom works on SCH-S960L
Not sure if I'm on the same page, but I just flashed the SlimBean rom for the Sprint SIII to my StraightTalk SIII last night and haven't found any issues. Calls, texts, data, etc all are normal.

What did you use to root it? The Sprint ROMs should work since it is a brother of the sprint model with a few tweeks for strait talk. But with the GS2 from strait talk that was a ATT type phone you still had to use a different recovery to get it to work but you could use any of the ROMs..... so any info on how you flashed Slimbean would be great, thanks

I'm also wondering if the sprint s3 options in the galaxy toolkit are ok to use on sch-s960l...I read that the camera may not function...also I WILL donate to anyone one who can provide step by step, comprehendable instructions to root and flash slim bean with no issues.

This post should work. (QBKing77's video here) All I did was copy SuperUser zip file to the phone, ODIN'd ClockworkMod to the phone, rebooted to CWM, flashed the SuperUser, rebooted and it was rooted. Really not much to it, seemed too easy to me, but it stuck, didn't lose root after reboot.
I did notice some wonky data issues once I flashed SlimBean. My first post was edited to show that it pretty much locked onto whatever tower I was closest to at the time of the flash, so when I was driving around, once I lost connectivity to that tower, I had no data. Still could call but no data. Had to reflash SlimBean to connect to the next tower, but again, lost it since I was still driving around. Back to rooted Stock now.
Lately I've been trying to install CM 10 but they have a check to see if your phone's build.prop file has the SPH-L710 value in it (ro.phonecode or something), and obviously since we don't have sprint phones, ours says SCH-S960L. I edited the build.prop file and put the sprint code in there, but then it said the ro.bootloader value was incorrect. That line isn't even in the StraightTalk's build.prop so I added it, but it still didn't want to flash.
Next step is to edit the ROM itself and remove those checks. Kinda skeptical about that, since they're there for a reason. But, for the sake of research/advancement of mankind, I'm gonna try it anyway.

You can edit the assert prop in the updater script of any d2spr rom. I personally use root browser from the rom toolbox from jrummy. Extract the rom, then go to META-INF>com>google>android>updater script. Open the script as an editable text document. You will see the ro.bootloader lines. Simply take out those lines, or modify them for your specific bootloader. If you downloaded the official update when you activated your phone, it will more than likely be S960LWYAMD6. Save it, then simply rezip everything, and flash. That's it. Just remember it's probably not a good idea to try this with any rom that includes bootloader or modem updates. But you SHOULD be fine with anything cyanogen-based. It's worked flawlessly for me but all phones are different, so use cation and always flash at your own risk.... Well, hope this helps some people out there. I've been having this same issue for a while and couldn't find anything that helped, until I got bored one day and just started messing around with random stuff. Haha. Happy flashing

Stock Recovery
Hey guys!
Just wondering what my options are for getting the upcoming update to Android 4.3. I have a rooted SCH-S960L on the stock rom with CWM recovery (Touch version) 6.x....I was told that I would need the stock recovery installed in order to install the upcoming 4.3 OTA, but how do I do this? Where can I get the recovery.tar for use w/ODIN to reinstall the stock recovery? If I use KIES to reinstall the factory firmware will this also reinstall the stock recovery? Could I use the Sprint L710 stock recovery.tar since this is essentially the same phone? What should I do?
Anyone with helpful info PLEASE HELP!! THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

I've read on that Straight Talk doesn't update their phones at all. So what is on it is what will stay on it unless there are custom roms for them. Which I am currently looking for. The topic I read it in mentioned a gingerbread phone that was never updated despite the same phone on other carriers being updated. The ST Customer Service forum had a post saying check their Terms and Conditions(which not sure what that had to do with updating their phone).

https://github.com/Shabbypenguin/an...mmit/b131f82f667433af4d8895d55f00bfc8a2a1c94f
ask your favorite rom devs to add this to their d2spr device trees. it will make it so that there wont be any more need to edit updater scripts, i already sent this info to carbon rom d2spr dev. if/when he merges you guys will be able to use carbon rom without editing anything, just flash in recovery
edit: seems CM will be the first http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54652/ starting nov 27th you can download sprint d2spr builds and with a sprint based recovery they will flahs just fine for you guys.

Straight Talk does update their phones. The S3 was updated by Straight Talk not long after Sprint updated their S3 to 4.1.2.

how did you root the sch s960l I have this phone and I want to root it bad. I emailed customer service at straight talk and they told me they would not be updating the phone to 4.3

They also said that the phone woukd be stuck on ICS also...
As for rooting use SKUNKAPE1's guide on here for rooting the Sprint S3. The only addition to his step-by-step is to install STERRICSON's version of BusyBox once you finish up with the TeamEpic root.
Will tell you though that most of the Sprint S3 roms will not be fully functional on this phone however...everything usually works except the cammera/gallery app. Xposed framework mods do work very well however.

[Q] Just recovered from bad encription and need a little help

first of all i was lucky all I had to do was go back and use a root 66 image to recover using odin.
Now i know i will sound like a newb sorry please bear with me if you can.
From the start i was on 4.1.2 on SRx Mod i decided Hay i should encrypt my phone (bad idea i got stuck in a boot loop) so after searching for how to fix it i was told to use the unbrick then i wad told to use route 66 i choose route 66. I have since successfully flashed rooted 4.1.2 but i have a few questions.
First route 66 lets you choose which recovery you wish to use. now to install a recovery (my first root it came with CWM) Should i just download the app and install CWM with rom recovery or use Goo manager to install TWRP? or should i use odin to flash it? if i should flash it where should i get the correct files?
Second.
Say I would like to update to 4.3 and take advantage of roms again. What is the safest way to go about this. Depending on rls I have been able to update via recovery and a new rom and i have had to use odin. I believe (not sure) safest way to go from a major rls to another it should be done with odin. Like going from ICS to JB so should I use odin again to root to 4.3?
So to shorten my question
How do i install recovery on a freshly rooted (re rooted via route 66) Also i am currently runnning 4.12 to update to 4.3 do i need to use odin and a 4.3 image to be safe? or can i install a 4.3 rom and it will update.
In all now that my phone is working I am weary of just trying and want to do it the correct way and now i know trying to use encryption is dumb!
THANKS in ADVANCE i appreciate your help.

When it comes to Recoveries, choos if you want CWM or TWRP. Both are good. Based on that get either Rom Manager app for CWM or Goo Manager for TWRP. Let the app install the recovery for you.
If you want 4.3, then look for Stock Mod Rom in Android Development section. Flash that rom via CWM/TWRP. Make sure to follow the instructions in the Rom's thread. Particularly the part where it wants you to flash ATT insecure kernel. The Rom is Rooted. Do not flash 4.3 via Odin.

Thanks for the refresher
I have been away for a little while and i wanted to make sure. SO to get it straight
Right now I just got back from boot loop with route 66 via odin.
To go on i simply get CWM or TWRP with the respective program (rom manager or goo manager)
Then get the 4.3 rom from the rout66 thread and update to 4.3 via recovery.
If not which rom do i use.
Edit:
Ok now i think i understand your post you directed me to use a specific rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303
So from base 4.1.2 i can update to any 4.3 rom i choose? I just want to make sure as most major releases have some issues at the beginning maybe everything is sorted and their is no problems,
One thing i want to ask is can i choose another rom as sometimes i like to switch to and from touchwiz
So i guess my question now is once i install a recovery program of my choice (i always used CWM so ill probably stick with that)
Can I install any rom no problem? as far as changing versions only go up to 4.3 dont go back down with a recovery flash?
SO AFAIK right now that everything is all good and i wont mess my phone up again when loading a rom.
Is their anything i SHOULD NOT do, Beyond common sense i know not to flash a rom for another phone ETC
I appreciate your help I haven't been following the development for a couple months So i am Rusty also its been a while since i had to start from scratch with odin and at that time we did not have the GREAT list of Official Images so I got a rooted rom that had CWM already installed. I want to get to how i was before when i was enjoying the work of the devs and loving it. being in stock reminds me of how much work the devs do YOU GUYS ARE GREAT (if any even read this thread)

Do not do the Red Striked part. Search for Stock Mod Rom by @saranhai

Thank you to be safe i will use the ROM you suggested although this is the only thing that worries me as i never have or really want to flash modems
YOU MUST FLASH THE T999UVUEMJ4 MODEM OR T999UVUEMJC MODEM FOR T-MOBILE GALAXY S III IN ORDER FOR DATA TO WORK; OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT HAVE DATA
AS USUAL, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE! ONE WRONG MOVE (Especially with the Modem) AND YOU COULD END UP WITH A VERY EXPENSIVE BRICK. PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

I hope this is the ROM you are talking about and if so what do i do about the modem issue as I am coming from 4.1.2 IDK if i have the correct modem installed. All i have right now is Route 66 rooted 4.1.2 and CWM recovery I also created a Nandroid as soon as i got recovery so i can ave a pretty clean android to go back to if anything happens.
I am sorry i may be annoyed if i were you possibly so i hope you are hanging in there with me i really appreciate it once i do this ill be back in the game and wont need any more help. I just need to get this part sorted, THANK YOU
So other than the modem thing I think i got it, i just hope i dont have to mess with the modem IDK if I'm ready to try something that could hard brick my phone after just recovering it

Flashing the modem won't brick it. It's the exact same procedure as flashing the kernel, and the risk level is pretty much the same. As long as your device is the T999, you don't have anything to worry about. Just check the md5 on the download to make sure its not a corrupted/bad download. Even if you flash the T999L/T999V/I535 modem, it shouldn't brick. It just wouldn't get signal till you flash the correct one again. Many, many people have flashed the modems with no problems at all.

I really didnt think you would answer my post!
Anyway so even though the warning says i can brick it with a modem change really all that will happen is that i will just not get Data until i install the correct one got it.
And unless anyone posts otherwise The first 4.3 rom i should install is Stock Mod Rom by @saranhai and also flash the modem T999UVUEMJC via recovery?
I tried the modem map but i had no success with getting to to work, first it said the link was not supported and i needed to revert to GMaps Classic so i did but i got the same results. Random places all over the world (some in the sea) some said city and modem some were simply city's so i think its out of date so i suppose that the worst that can happen is that i get no data i suppose i can try the other modem listed on the roms page?
If someone knows (as their are two maybe its east west cost or something of the like i live in southern California south of la but furthest from the border of Mexico in San Diego so north San Diego county but anyone that knows the area may know of the massive military base i live south east of Camp Pendleton
(off topic but if a war comes to our shores i pray i am dead already or something divine as i live very close to a large Marine Training base and camp/base in General and right next to it (on the coast) is a dual Nuclear Reactor Power plant and one reactor has been malfunctioning and AFAIK its just being maintained to keep anything catastrophic from happening (which i believe IDK for sure was the reason why it is still running but not producing power)

Many people warn about that because on many devices it is true. just like a kernel or recovery though, if you flash the wrong thing to its partition, it can brick. I.e. If you flash a recovery to the modems partition.
A lot of times people bring habits from their old devices. In our case, while it is possible, it's highly unlikely you'd brick flashing the modem. We know it's not going to flash the wrong item/partition. Several people have tried flashing the I535, T999L, T999N modems and all that happened was they got no working signal. Flashed back to the correct modem and all was good again.

This would be my recommendation, yes. Just follow instructions in the OP.

The map is definitely screwed up and I apologize for that! I meant to start a new one a while back but just never got around to it. Still on my to do list!
Good Luck!

Well thank you guys both I appreciate you gave me the correct info fast Perseus71 and thank you for clarifying DocHoliday77 And an extra thank you for all the work you do for the S III community!

i was just about to do this althoug i downloaded the rom and the modem but now what about the "insecure Kernal" I dont want to mess my phone up again sorry for all the questions its just after you mess up your phone when yoyu come back to roms and its just like getting a traffic ticket for a little bit you drive like you just got a ticket REALLY SAFE with no nerve so sorry but thats my mindset i just messed up my phone and dont want to do it again (i just finished paying for it too so i donk want to break my just paid off 600 dollar car lol.
so yeah AFAIK the post sys all i need is the modem but do i need the kernal too as it may not be listed as it is know its needed at one point when updating versions?
THANKS AND SORRY this is probably the last thing i need as i was just about to flash but just got worried

If wifi doesnt turn on, then try the kernel. If everything boots and runs as you like, then its up to you.
