Try flashing a new kernel.
Don't work... wipe/re-flash.

What all should I wipe when I flashed I wiped user/factory reset, system,boot, dalvik, and Android secure. Anything I shouldn't have wiped?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

You should be good, would be ideal to do each about 3 times.
So, I would just re-flash a kernel.
Oh, and (the built-in) WiFi tether does not work with 4G (or if it is not unlocked).

I'm using miui and its don't work neither but juss flash a kernel and it shuld work?

Fyi about miui, if you had any wireless tether app downloaded then neither the app nor the native tethering will work.

So confused

Hey idk what's happening to my Evo but since I rooted I been having issues with the camera isn't working , I tried like 8 Roms already including cyagonem, mikfroyo... now I'm running Vaelpak 3.2 remastered and I love it but camera still doesn't work, just once and after that blank again,pleasea any suggestions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
What hardware version are you? Try looking in settings under hardware information (ex 0004). Are you flashing kernels with theses roms?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Is you camera not working? Or getting the messed up colors? if you've got the purpley/green look, your camera is broken.
It's 0003 and no man I just flash the Roms, but in this one I flashed like 3 kernels, Netarchy 4.3.1,4.3.2 and still nothing wat do u suggest?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well netarchys kernels are only for sense. If you're running a sense rom right now try this stock kernel. Your camera is guaranteed to work if it doesn't then you have some problems. This is the stock #15 HTC kernel.

Have you tried flashing the stock sprint rooted rom and clearing/wiping EVERYTHING in recovery(before you flash). I would suggest you start completely from scratch man. Did you update anything while on sense roms(firmware, htc updates etc)?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Double post. Oops
No man I didn't update anything,just flashed Roms and that's it, and I think I need to go back to stock to see if it work, where can I download that Rom?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had a 0003 and had the same problem. Never did find a fix. Had to do an insurance claim. Now I have a 0004 with cm7 stable. I have flashed all the nightlies pretty much from 1 with no problem. Have not flashed a custom kernal to this phone though cause it scares me to have the same thing happen. If you find a fix please post so I can fix my 0003 and maybe sell it.

Here's the stock rooted rom.

You can grab the "deodexed" or "odexed" version to test it. If this doesn't work I have one more thing we can do report back and let me know the outcome. The first mediafire link will work just fine. Make sure you wipe first before the flash.

Lol ill be here dude. The only difference between "deodexed" and "odexed" is deodexed is for theming. They're both pretty much the same so if one doesn't work then other will have same results. If that rom doesn't work then we move to the last procedure. "Operation this is bullsh*t"

As far as I can tell by examining the install script, this is not a permanent install.
Everytime you reboot, it will go back to the original CWM and you will have to run the install again to get this recovery.

You are right. It works perfectly. Does backups and installs but won't stick. How can we make it stick sfhub? By packing it into a stock kernel?

Yes, pack it into a stock kernel and flash/install the resulting kernel.

Idk why but WiFi tether for rooted users isn't working for me. Other devices can't pick up the signal. It doesn't even show up. I'm rooted and everything. I tried all the different settings.

Mine hasn't worked for a while either so I gave up. It used to work fine right when I unlocked and rooted, but then after a few weeks it stopped working as you described. I've uninstalled, installed, tried all the settings, wiped cache and dalvic, basically everything short of completely wiping the phone and starting over.

rooting, wifi hotspot, custom ROM on S3

Hello,
Wife is wanting to get me a Sprint Galaxy S3.
My current phone is rooted Sprint Epic 4G Touch running Calkulin ROM. Charging port does not work, but I have spare batteries and a wall charger to charge them. I was curious to know if the S3 can be rooted, wifi hotspot works with the Android OS itself or via a third party apk, and if a custom ROM can be flashed on it.

The Hotspot Mod is HERE. If you want a Rom that is very close to Stock, you can check out The People's Rom. Or if you prefer a Rom that can either look Stock, very Themed, or anything in between, check out MOAR.
Thank you again. Is the process for installing the hotspot mod the same as installing a ROM?

TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11
Had some scary moments this morning at 7:30am. Phone started to be unresponsive and widgets would replicate themselves on the home screen. I cleared the davlik cache. Reboot the phone and experienced the same behavior. I also flashed the rooted Android OS zip file. Same behavior. I ended up doing a factory/data reset and phone was back to normal. Verified that device still had root and the Hotspot mod appears to still be part of the Android OS. I will verify that later on. Not sure what happened as the phone was working fine up until this morning. any ideas?
I think I have figured what was causing the strange behaviour. I used Titanium Backup to freeze what i thought was the stock voicemail program, since I use Google Voice. I unfroze it and froze the correct one. I will do a backup in Clockwork Recovery just to be safe.
