Many can, but for best purposes, why? You can have a lovely rooted, stock version that I believe they just updated. Otherwise look at qbking's vidoes on Odin/Heimdall to stock. No real reason to, unless you plan to sell or repair it.

When was this update?
And lately i havent been receiving any texts and was worried that it may have something to do with being rooted? idk..
and i know nothing about rooting/unrooting so when the day comes and i have to use my warrenty, id like to know how to unroot it.

Check the dev section, but not receiving texts may be an issue way easier than going back to stock. Also, be sure to state anything you've played with that makes you think it could be attached to s/u status. Lots of people will be happy to walk you through a variety of things that won't make you lose all your data.

honestly i love the whole rooted idea. I rooted my phone to use a screenshot app..but i feel like i can do more with it...the thing is..idk how. I wish i can get themes on my phone but everything seems so complicated. I probably wont unroot now...but since we're both here, any ideas on how to add themes to my phone? and maybe even reset to the default theme.

Did you flash a Rom after you rooted? What instructions did you go by? Be aware, it's 12:33 here and your questions may get differred to everyone else until morning. If you're on certain main Roms, you might be able to easily flash to either a new Rom or theme with little effort. This is where it can get tricky though and retracing your steps out loud will help people walk you to what you need until you get more acclimated to searching and "shopping" for what you what in here. remember your thanks, donations and verbal support, people like to help here

i did nothing after rooting. All i did was use 1 click root and enjoy the apps. I also know nothing about ROM or any other terms :/

Here is a link with instructions on how to unroot:

but I don't think you should. There are plenty of good roms that you can use to make your phone better than a stock phone.

Nothing is complicated about putting ROMs or Themes on your phone Its developing them that is Complicated!
Follow the link in my sig to qbkings videos and you will be wondering why you thought it was complicated to begin with!

As long as you have a backup of your data on your card, your phone will live on as it did when you last clicked the wrong button. Bricking is everyone's biggest fear, but mostly because it's an inconvenience not a sentence.

The Root is right. The word "brick" is used too much. I can only remember a couple of people actually bricking a phone thus making it useless. 95% of the problems can be fixed with Odin. I didn't know a damn thing 6 months ago. I had to Google "rooting your phone." Now I test ROMs,themes, and kernels for developers. I could never go back to stock now. Rooting really frees the phone to make it your own. Flashing ROM's, themes, and kernels is easy and if you have any questions, there are people like me that are glad to help. Also, qbking makes great videos if you are a visual learner or want to see the process before you do it.

I agree with JohnCorleone, there have been many times where I thought I had bricked my phone, but there is usually a way to fix any problem. This site is great for finding out answers to your questions. And if you need help with a rom or rooting you can PM me. I'll try to help if I can.

Yeah I actaully bricked.... from vision kernel it sucked but I got a new phone for free haha

Did you come to xda thinking we are mind readers? Shall we all take guesses at what apps you're referring to, or if you're rooted, unlocked your bootloader etc etc etc.
And no, I don't know the answer because I haven't got a bleeding clue what apps go missing, etc etc etc. So instead of taking the hump, try writing a post that might help people, to help you. ;-)

That's fair enough, that being said im new to this forum or any for that matter, it was honest mistake not being clear enough.

As a newbie, my phone is stock, nothings been done to it. The apps are ones that have been moved to memory card.

Well don't act like you don't have a clue it souds like your just being lazy every body knows computers get glitchy when the memory is low if this isn't his problem then it's probably something els wich We would then need more details on and Im kinda interested in hearing more about it but I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with memory .

Not sure what that has to do with knowing what FW they're using, if they're rooted, bootloader unlocked or not, all of which if provided in an OP instead of a vague post like "is there a way to fix apps disappearing after switching phone off, its becoming annoying.", helps other users to help them.

If you mean after reboot some apps in the external memory disappear ( I have this problem) then you have to give the device a minute after boot without touching anything then you will notice that all your apps is back again but remmember if you went to the apps drawer immediately after the reboot the apps will diappear again and you might need to reboot again in order to see them (in short be patient) I hope this will help you

just force stop the laucher (settings,applications, manage aplications, all, sony ericsson home, force stop), press the home button and your apps should be there.

Actually, no it isnt near full. I dont have too many apps because im mindful of the phones low memory seeing as not all downloaded apps can be moved to external memory.

I would like to revisit this as I have an OG DROID with Chevy SS 5.6 ROM which uses the Xperia Arc Launcher. Sometimes the app drawer will just lose a bunch of my apps or it will take 5 pages of apps and spread it across 20 pages, some pages only having one app on it. I can manually resort it to alphabetical and the apps will fall in line, but some will go missing. Also, the home screen will lose my widgets however, I cannot put them back because the launcher thinks they are still there even though the space appears blank and open. It does not matter if the apps are stored locally or on the SDCARD. Any help is appreciated.

Network Unavailable

I'm currently at home, on WiFi and 4G is on. I'm bone stock, not even a two days old. But yet randomly in different apps and tools I see network unavailable issues. I see it most frequently in Facebook and S-Voice.
Also, unrelated....
Can I use ROMs on my SIII? If so, which ROMs work well? I would also like to make sure it still has TouchWiz as I like the UI it provides .
EDIT: I'm not seeing it a lot in Google Play. This is really starting to annoy me.

I would recommend going into your carrier. If you are having issues on a brand new stock device, your phone may be defective. Have you had any problems with any other phone on that carrier?

It could be a malfunctioning wifi/data driver/device in the phone itself. It may not be your carrier causing your problem, but the phone itself.

How did you purchase the product? You can take it back for an exchange and explain what's going on. If you purchased it through a private individual, it's more than likely still under warranty as long as you haven't gotten it wet and it still is running stock (flash counter is still 0), you can send it to Samsung for a replacement.
I've never heard of anyone experiencing issues with a bone stock s3 like this, which really leads me to believe it may truly be a defective phone you will have to exchange.
The only other thing I could think of is if there is a delay in porting your number to your carrier if this is a brand new carrier. If you, however, have had this same carrier for a while then that is certainly not the case.
On your side note: Yes you can most definately flash custom ROMs to this phone. You can use the following links to see a list of compatible ROMs and features.

I purchased it through Amazon Wireless. It was upgraded from my previous iPhone 4 which I had no problems with. I did have to change my plan though.
The problem happens but usually if I refresh it will start working again. It'll happen only 1 in 3 times but extremely frequently in the Facebook app. I haven't really installed any apps besides Chrome and Facebook.
Even though it wasn't purchased at AT&T, could I still take it to them? Or would they be clueless?

They might be able to assist, but more than likely you would have to deal with Amazon.
Try this to see if it works: shutdown the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery and start the phone.
If not you will need to try to do an exchange unfortunately.

Done. Oddly enough, I'm not seeing it anymore. Weird that it seemingly fixed it. I will post back if it happens again.

sometimes it happens, a lot of things can be fixed that way it seems. If you do experience it again, I would recommend contacting Amazon at that point. =p Good luck =)

Also, is it true I can update my Galaxy to jellybean? I'd like to do so. I'm currently on version 4.0.4.

Yes you can. ATT released stock 4.1.1 JB or you can flash a custom ROM like CM10.0.0 for 4.1.2 JB or if you are experienced cm10.1 for 4.2.1 JB.
CM10.1 still has some kinks though so you may want to wait if you want a stable experience and stick with 4.1.2. =)
If you want to update Stock try Settings->About Phone->Updates. If it says no updates found you can update through Samsung Kies.

My apologies, I've been running a custom ROM so I didn't realize AT&T won't offer an OTA (Over the Air) update for JB. You can follow this guide to get yourself up and running on AT&T's Official Stock JB: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00050358&fm_seq=55362
Quick word of warning >> If you update to JB 4.1.1 using the method I showed you, flashing a custom recovery (needed to install custom ROMs) will trip your flash counter. Of course installing custom ROMs will trip your counter anyways. Just a word of warning in the event you don't wish to trip your counter.
The flash counter is used by Samsung in the event your device needs to be warranted for any reason. If you trip the counter, Samsung can tell your device was modified and will void your warranty.
BUT... There has been development in an app called Triangle away that can revert your flash counter so it looks like it has never been modified.
I wanted to warn you of this in the event you wish to root and install ROMs. Especially with your network problem in the event you need to exchange your phone.

Mic problems on AOKP ROM

So i'm on to like my third GS2 because it seems like i always have bad luck with ROMs or there is common issue that i haven't yet noticed. I am currently not even rooted but i have this itch to just root once again and flash my beloved AOKP that i love dearly. The problem is that every time i flash the ROM everything is fine and smooth for about a month, but then people start telling me that my mic and my end of the call sounds really bad. I always test speech to text and google now and the phone seems to understand and hear me perfectly, but the issue of phone calls remain. I really wanna know if this is a common issue especially with this ROM so that i can stay away from rooting and flashing for good now or if there is a way to fix this or if someone has worked their way around this. Any help or info would be appreciated, thanks!

AOKP to the death bro i feel you on that and do you have the newest radio installed MC6 (baseband) any of the newer ROMs all recommend to use the newest radio but on a side note yes the issue is know but not everyone gets it but ive never actually had that problem every phone acts differently and behave differently not every phone is created equal

Do I need to install the MC6 radio separately? I've had the issue with all my GS2's :/
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

yes just download this and flash it in recovery http://goo.im/devs/Void_Dweller/SGH-T989_UVMC6_radio.zip and see if you have any improvements also what radio are you on now ??

OK thank you. Well like I said in my first post I am unrooted and stock right now. I just want info at my reach in case it happens again because its a stressful situation where all my calls are impossible and I want to be able to fix it right away if it happens

I flashed original aokp milestone1 from this site: http://aokp.co/devices/hercules and everything is fine and well but i'm having problems with it freezing in usb mode. I treid flashing the radio but it would keep aborting it and not flshing. I will try re-downloading the radio and slim bean rom which was also being aborted and try again. do i need gapps when i flash slimbean as well?

OK so i was able to flash the radio you told me to but it was no use, my side of the phone call sounds like if i was talking through a fan, this is really frustrating now :/ any ideas? I will try flashing slimbean again and keep you posted. thanks for all your help up until now, i appreciate it bro.

OK so i re-downloaded the slimbean rom and also flashed the 4.2.2 slim gapps and i am so happy and satisfied that my phone actually works the way it's supposed to now. I only have two small concerns now that i hope you can help me with.
1. When i connect to my pc my phone only gives me the options to connect as a media player or a camera. It's as if it dosn't even have a usb mass storage option? I also noticed it has no developer section in settings.
2. Everything is small. I know you might know this and it might be normal or default but is there any way to change this and make it normal? Is it something to do with Dpi? It's kinda annoying lol

1a. Mass storage mode had major problems so it was removed for now.
1b. Go to settings/about phone and tap on build number seven times to turn on developer options.
2. Go to settings/interface/general and follow the directions to change your DPI to 240.

Ok so i realized that using it as a media device i have the same options and usability as if it were in usb mass because i can access both internal and external SD storage, and i changed the lcd density to 240 and everything looks just the way it's supposed to. Thank you guys for all your help, i'm such a happy camper right now with this ROM

i told you bro slim bean rocks and rocks hard man!! glad you are back and rolling !!!!

Yeah I'm glad I took your advice, this ROM is amazing. Thanks again for all your help

Stock 4.1.2 (MF1) - What's changed / observations

After a clean ODIN install, some comments on the new MF1:
PROS
+ Multi-window support - works as you'd expect... not sure how useful it will be
+ AllShare Cast toggle added - I actually use ASC so this is useful to me
+ Fixed the bug where waking the phone using the home key would return to the launcher (when using no lockscreen and s-voice disabled)
Neutral
> New gallery UI
> New free-form drawing/painting app
> Group Play now a separate app
Cons
- Maybe just me, but noticeably more UI stutter than the last 4.1.1 (LK4)... curious if others notice this

Buttery smooth on mine. Display still reads LTE on Sasktel.
Largest change for me is findmymobile works now. It wasn't working for me on 4.1.1

I'm on Rogers and it still shows LTE.
Everything is quite smooth so far.
It seems to me the camera is a little snappier than before. Just an illusion or someone else is feeling the same?

Haven't done it myself yet I would guess that CF-root through odin is the way to go. Or mobile odin pro.

Maybe only Bell switched to 4G naming.
New camera scene mode added: "best face". Though it doesn't seem to work all that well IMHO.
And after starting over with another clean install, the animations throughout the OS still seem less smooth than the last 4.1.1. Oh well - back to LK4 for me.

Haven't done it myself yet I would guess that CF-root through odin is the way to go. Or mobile odin pro.

I used CF-root with odin with no problems.

Maybe just me, but noticeably more UI stutter than the last 4.1.1 (LK4)... curious if others notice this

I too am noticing some stuttering but I also use power saving. Gonna test without it enabled.

Updated my phone today to 4.1.2 , and phone isnt charging for some odd reason, anyone have any ideas ?, phone runs great, nice and smooth but just drains without charging

If you flash the telus firmware you will get the 4g logo instead of the lte logo, this has nothing to do with to carrier.

I see you posting in just about any 4.1.2 thread there is and it's been said all over the place : if you're on AT&T and you want to flash a canadian version ROM, then you have to either not flash the modem using Mobile Odin or else, flash the LK3 modem from your old AT&T 4.1.1 ROM afterwards using CWM or TWRP.
Please read carefully before attempting to flash anything on your phone.
Especially if you're not familiar with the process.

Looks good... took quite a bit of reboots for the multi window thing to start working though?

I've been trying but cannot get it to work..
Someone on page 11 of the Casual thread has same problem as me but noone answered him...
It goes to DL screen but casual just sits at installing drivers for ever...
What version of it di you use?

It seems that people have a hard time rooting phones.
I root mine in 2 easy steps.
Step 1 = Flash CWM Recovery via Odin onto phone.
Step 2 = Flash a custom zip file that installs Superuser onto the system/apps.
That is it. Very easy.

I flashed the Telus firmware and get the LTE logo when on LTE. When I'm on 3G/HSDPA the 4G logo comes up. This is normal for Telus.

+ Fixed the bug where waking the phone using the home key would return to the launcher (when using no lockscreen and s-voice disabled) About time... this was super annoying
Camera is definitely snappier
I don't notice any lag with UI here.
Overall everything seems fine. It'll be nicer when the devs apply their tweaks and mods.

Agreed that's always how I have done it i the past too. Since my last rot, CASUAL was developed, so I thought I'd try it out and found it very basic and easy and with less steps than the root through Odin that noobies sometimes find harder, hence my earlier reply. Now of course if CASUAL causes issues and hangs, Odin flash always works as you suggest.

Gallery changed
I noticed the gallery is different. I kinda like it, except the pics from my external micro SDHC card doesn't show up in there anymore. Is there any way to change that? I haven't figure it out yet...
Thanks!
Nevermind, I backed up all the pictures. Formatted the card, and reloaded it back onto the memory card and it worked after.
