Develop Bugs

Another OTA Update (next week)

Not sure if this was already posted, at least I didn't see it. Anyway, if it was, my apologies. Just wanted to pass along.
According to the Sprint website
12/15 update - for those devices where the update has started but did not complete successfully, there will be a fix available soon. The target is next week, but nothing 'official yet'. I don't have information on whether it will be a new OTA push or available only via the Service Centers, but will post an update as soon as I learn more.
It seems like there were more than a few issues on the whole EG30/31 thing so they need to do it again, lol. I'm just wondering if now they will take the opportunity to just combine it with the EL13 update.

What?!?!? A Samsung update that just causes more issues? Nooooo....

Wonder if that is going to be EL13, EK02 repacked with a full modem.bin, or an even newer build than we've seen.

I was wondering the same. Maybe a OTA that has CIQ stripped out. Sprint is obviously trying to save face right now. They are trying to keep us at bay. Look what happened once we started bombing everyone with CIQ info.

I wouldn't be surprised of Sprint isn't removing CIQ software.

[ROM] Alpha2 iml74k (I may have received a leaked alpha of aosp 4.0.3?)

Today I received a warranty replacement phone through tmo. When I went to root it I found two files on the USB storage. Alpha2.zip and sr2gs2.zip
I held my breath and flashed alpha2 through cwm. And to my surprise a vanilla aosp ics rom booted up. i will post the zip when i get home but nothing really works on it. its fast and snappy but no wifi audio or camera
When i tried to flash sr2gs.zip and it overwrites the kernel to a tmo branded one. i cant get it to boot past the kernel though
Heres the info i have. Ill upload the rom later today
Model msm8660_surf
Kernel 2.6.35.11 -dag0.43+
Build number ends with iml74k and contains a name with @themothership
DBTR-U6S#AOMN-L
Rom was preloaded with softAP and developer tools

hmm can you maybe upload the t-mobile one ?

Interesting

Ill upload both today. I cant right now since i am not near a computer. Unless someone can point me to a place i can do the upload from my phone

Very Interesting I wonder maybe that was a refurbished phone from a Dev....

Strange thing is each update is a little bigger than the last. LI1=7.4mb, LI2=9.5mb, and LI5=9.9mb. Wonder why if only radio/kernel updates.

Why not just flash the update in stock recovery? You can use ota rootkeeper to protect root.
Also the pro version of mobile odin will flash any of the full fw releases as well as the otas, and it'll reinject root during the process. (Its now my preferred method)
Most people arent going to want to give you their nandroid. theres too much personal info on it. Even those like me who make one right after flashing will be very cautious about this. Theres almost always something in there that is easily forgotten to clear. You could get lucky and find someone willing to do it, just dont get your hopes up too much.

Hey doc got some questions for ya. I came to the gs3 from nexus s 4g. With the ns4g I could always just flash new ROMs and updates in cwm. It seems the process is a bit more complicated on gs3. I purchased mobile Odin, and I've used the PC version a couple of times, but I'm not that comfortable with it. First day I got my gs3 I flashed Mr. Robinson's root injected uvlah2 and just stuck with that. A couple nights ago I finally flashed a new radio and it has helped my signal. I want to make sure my phone is ready for the jb update so what would you suggest?

I'm trying out a stock rooted deodexed build I made a little bit ago and it seems like the scrolling is a little bit different from FI25. Also, I haven't run stock in forever, so are these wifi icons the same as they've been for a while? :screwy:
And yes the recent apps "bug" is still there but can be fixed pretty easily.

Also, someone set me straight please because I thought #1 and #2 were changes already in FI25. Are we not creating a changelog for FI25 to FI27?

Damn it. I always forget that part. And yes it is a change from FI25 to FI27. I fixed the OP. Thanks!

I'm running Re-Calked 0.2.1 FI25. Last night I flashed Agat's 0.6.0. No problems at that point. Early this morning I flashed the FI27 modem.
Checked my phone later and had the dreaded LOS. Flashed back to the FI25 modem and all is well. I'm going to need my phone for awhile so I'll have to stay on 25 until I can get some free time to try again. I've only seen this on my phone a couple of times, and the last time was probably last December.
Anyone else seeing this? I'm in a good signal area, and my wife's phone had a strong signal at the time.
Hopefully this is an isolated case.

[KERNEL][MODEM][ZIP]Stock MC3 Kernel and Modem zips

Here are the stock MC3 Kernel and Modem in separate CWM flashable zips. I havent modified anything, just dropped them in a flashable zip for anyone that might want them. I needed them for my new ROM im building so I thought I'd share since I didn't see anyone else post them. Thanks to Sextape and the gang for the stock MC3 odin tar leak and for everything they do for xda and the community.

Hey mate, thanks for the contribution! Downloaded and flashed while running SlimBean build 3. Not sure if it's just me, but I seem to have poorer reception with the MC3 Modem than I do with the MB1 Modem. With MB1 modem, I had a signal of -98 dBm. With MC3 modem, I get -120 dBm. I ended up flashing back to MB1, thanks for providing a download though!

Ive noticed that different modems act differently in different locations. For example some modems work great on the west coast and don't work good on the east coast etc. I would just stick with whichever modem works best for you in your area.

check the jellybomb thread this has been an issue for all the new modem josh doesnt want to update to, hopefully he does sat some point lol. but just to let you know what you're looking for you have to manually edit some build prop lines to say MC3 instead of LJ7. doing this will also stop the update from popping up if thats happening to you as well. :cheers:

The build prop shouldn't affect what the baseband says in about phone, unless Josh did something completely different.

Agreed. The modem will refect the build separate from the build prop. Also packed this modem in a zip directly from the odin tar released by sextape AND tested the zip. After flashing it reflected MC3 and i had no issues. Several members of my team and other xda members have reported that they've flashed it through CWM and mobile Odin with the same results. I do believe that you must have flashed the wrong zip.
