I know it's common knowledge that we can't flash current ROMS due to not being able to make calls after (I made that mistake myself, but luckily had a nandroid to restore).
Is there anything I can do with a stock rooted sprint galaxy nexus to help with development so that we can enjoy some of the great work you developers do? I'm not an expert but I am comfortable with adb, really I've only used it once (to root this phone), I'm just not shy about tinkering. Anything I can do to help please let me know.

I was begging for one the day folks got their Nexus. They are in the General Sprint Galaxy Nexus thread.
I'm not asking for an eta; but are we close to seeing ROM development for the Sprint gn?

Its your choice. I'd say go ahead and root it. But read about what your doing. Nobody can tell if you should or not. there's not a definite reason not to... that I know of.

DO IT. Flashing roms is an addiction though. Just a warning.

I'd say go for it, if you're at least moderately technically inclined.
At the very least unlock the bootloader (this will wipe your phone so backup any photos etc!). Rooting can be done later if you do that first.
If you have to ask, no you probably shouldn't.
No question, definitely root without a doubt.

This.
If you don't root your phone, it's not yours. You're not responsible for it if it gets messed up, but you are limited in what you can do with it. You're a licensee, not the owner.
I am of the opinion that I should own what's mine.

I just recently rooted my phone and am relatively new to flashing ROMs but I'm totally addicted. I would agree that you should do as much research and read thoroughly through the forums. Great experience for me so far.

Same. You really do learn about your device and the way Android works. I've had some good and bad experiences with flashing, but I've learned a lot. It's fun and you can apply so many mods to make your device unique to yourself.

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

That's slick!:good:
hard brick - a pretty paperweight (tonight)
should have been more careful, soft bricked the phone, 2 times trying to change the dpi.
once trying to flash a rom - the rom flash, took it to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, not impressed but i'll take this downtime as a time to relax.
Another way to avoid a brick; Don't use a mod, theme, tool or ROM until it's confirmed by multiple people in the community that it's working properly. Read the last 3-4 pages of a thread

I agree with you, I ended up with a soft brick stuck at the samsung glowing logo after trying to unroot because I got a crack the front plastic near the headphone jack. I managed to reset the flash counter and install the rom but odin failed at the end. Now I'm hesitant to flash another ROM. Anyone else here waiting for JellyBean Rom? Definitely take your time and always make sure your computer installs the drivers before doing anything! I got BB to exchange it for me since they couldn't get it to boot and the mystery crack wasn't my fault. I only had it for like 3 days IN A CASE TOO. Happy Flashing dudes.
I'm just glad i saw a forum for the gs3. I would've bricked my phone after i got it.
Another bricker my own fault went to unroot to take in for service and went and loaded a wrong .tar file of the stock system. Anyway...not looking for sympathy..just wanted to say thanks for the forum that gave me the tools to fix my mistake :thumbup:

Original is usually built from scratch/source. Android development is based from stock, leaks or ports

I think I just made that mistake...wrong directory in a mirror...
ANyhow I ended up with a QHSUSB_DLOAD device...looking hard to unbrick...
Okay, so I've hardbricked my AT&T Galaxy S3, or SGH-i747, or d2att. I was trying to flash a kernel and some devs think I rewrote my bootloader and therefore it is no longer there. However, my saving grace is only in something this dev calls "block 5"...
If anyone has a rooted AT&T GS3, I would SO SO SO appreciate it if they could run this code (I didn't write it but it's not malicious):
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/blk5.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All it's doing is getting the image for block 5 from an att gs3. Someone PLEASE help me, I'm begging here. From there someone could either email it to me or put it in a public Dropbox folder so I can get it to my dev friend...
Lol, how do you even rewrite the bootloader?

Hi, I am attempting to help hooloovoo666 determine if his device is permanently bricked or not. I don't know what is on mmcblk0p5, thats sort of what we're trying to figure out on the device. If there is a /proc/emmc file that has actual data in it that you can grab off the running device, there may be no need to send this block over. I am suspecting since the device wont even boot that he accidentally ovewrote the bootloader.
Based on the device layout, there is no user data stored there so there shouldn't be any personal info.
If you wouldn't mind joining #Cyanogenmod on freenode that would be helpful.

newer phones arent coming with flash stock. so if you want flash you need to find the apk. if you arent smart enough to know where to get the flash apk you dont belong on this forum.

Someone has a temper today! Just posting a link isn't too hard, isn't that easier than being a ****?
First off, the OP never said they wanted the flash apk. They wanted to know how flash preformed on the Optimus G. All the other posters talked about it performing on other phones. I gave a little insight about flash not being on newer phones and that you would have to find the apk. Yes saying that if you don't know how to find it then you shouldn't be on here might have been harsh. But it sounds like your are a little butt hurt. It's ok. There is a thing called the search button that usually will provide anyone with a multitude of answers. I could provide a link but, couldn't you have done the same thing rather than coming on here and calling names? Or maybe it's because you yourself don't know how to find it.

If you aren't smart enough to know that asking the original question doesn't necessarily mean I don't know the apk can be found through a search, then you don't belong. ..anywhere
Yknow it is possible someone had gone through the trouble of installing the apk since this phone has been out longer on carriers other than Sprint.
Grow up, sheesh.
For all the grownups.
I installed and tested... and as usual - it works ok. I only really use it for one site anyway- tiltview.com

Rooting isn't working as well,tried several root kits,including the Galaxy Nexus Tool Kit that i've found here,as well as Others.
Any help ?
