Ok, so I did part 1 and part 2 of Toast's root for full NAND access
I also flashed to the latest radio
how do I fix it so I can see apps like NYTimes, etc? Thanks
I have the same issue. Any details on this would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if I completely understand, but I am fully rooted (Toast 1/2 Nand etc). I just searched for NY times in App Market, downloaded, installed, and it works fine.
I have new Radio, and Running Bugless Beast Rom.

Well, you have a custom ROM loaded, so that would change the result. I too have the latest radio, but I'm still using the stock ROM with my recovery. There has to be something we can do fix this issue. I don't want to load any custom ROM's because I haven't seen one that appeals to me. I'm wondering of users that have kept the stock ROM, but have it rooted via Toast method have this issue or are they using apps that aren't effected by this????? Someone has to know of a fix or a file that we can copy over the one that has broken us.
Well at least we know there is a cure for it. Either run a custom rom, or talk to the dev who made it work in his ROM to see what he did to cure it.

Wishful thinking I guess....

those apps were missing from the market for me when i had toasts PC36IMG.zip rom flashed from the root in part 1, perhaps you nandroid restored that rom.
flashing flipz OTA Update 1.32.651.6 and the newest radio fixed the issue for me.

I flashed the flipz OTA Update 1.32.651.6 in recovery mode, and then flashed the radio but it made my phone go in a constant re-boot. I did a wipe, Dalvik wipe and a cache wipe and success!!!! I was booting with no issues AND all the apps that I wanted in the market were showing up with no issues + I had full root access!!!! I lost some of my data, but that's a small price to pay... Good thing I had my backups! Thanks again to XpAcErX. OP should link to this post for future reference.
Alright for some reason unknown to me i have a demon Evo that wants to be different from everyone else. When i first rooted i lost the paid market, and my market was running really slowly. I flashed multiple roms and even the latest OTA to no avail. I did the new root method and again i am still having issues, my phone doing some things different then other people have experienced.
For example, i just tried to flash the latest baked snacks rom, and it came up as,
Wrong Digest
com.market.apk (or whatever the markets true name is)
Is there anyone that can help out?
Would removing the market using adb and then flashing a rom change anything?
Any ideas to experiment would be greatly appreciated!
ok so /system/app is a read only file system so i cant just remove the apps anyways and try and replace them with a flash.
Any ideas?
Also just flashed a 2.2 rom to see if that would change anything and again i have no paid app sections in the market.
i have no clue what the problem is but are you wiping before you flash
Of course im wiping haha. Ive wiped everything you possibly can wipe. Ive deleted the entire /system/app folder before flashing. Ive flashed roms of 2.2 and 2.1, ive ran RUU's. I have no friggin clue what steps to take
but you have tried doing the data,cache,dalvik from the recovery menu? Sorry if that's what you meant but I am a little confused by the wiping system/app part you wrote
Yeah i have. Ive wiped everything.
Hmm. Have you tried a different recovery to make sure its not that? Sorry I don't have any more tips to give you, it just seems like its a strange problem to have across multiple roms. Just kinda makes me think something isn't clearing correctly. Best of luck, I'm sure you will get it figured out
yeah i just wish there was someone who had the key. Ive had both clockwork and Amon's recovery. I have no idea what it could be and i cant believe nobody else has experienced this.
yeah, sorry I couldn't offer a better answer. I tried doing a search but could not find anything relevant
I am sure you will figure it out though!
Hey there everyone,
I am honestly at a bit of a loss.
I have an AT&T GS3, and I noticed that all the bloatware was SERIOUSLY draining the battery and hogging up RAM, so I thought it would be a great idea to get a custom rom to enhance my phone.
I used the GS3 Toolkit to flash TWRP recovery. - All went well
I read up on some different Roms, and i chose to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089821
I installed RLS16
I followed the instructions,
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe /system
I went through the Aroma installer and chose to install the Developer's Pick.
This includes a bunch of little addons like 4.2 camera, gallery, keyboard, etc.
but it also installs lean kernel.
The install went fine, nothing said it failed
but once i was in the rom. Things got terrible.
My phone randomly crashed and shut off, like within minutes each time, camera would crash the phone, causing it to shut off, etc.
So i went through the GS3 toolkit, downloaded and reflashed the stock Rom and recovery.
Once it booted, I keep getting "Unfortunately Messaging has Stopped" and I cannot receive or send text messages, even through other texting programs like Handcent SMS.
No matter what, it keeps crashing (the messaging, not the rom). I factory reset, wiped, everything. Nothing will fix it.
I thought that maybe the stock rom doesnt include stock kernel? So i went online, downloaded the stock kernel, flashed, reflashed stock rom, and STILL the same thing. Messaging has stopped working.
Also as a side note, when i tried to do a google voice search. I get a page saying Sorry and that my computer or phone might be sending network requests or something along those lines.
I cannot think of anything else I can do....
If anyone has any idea, please let me know...
Thanks!

When you flashed stock, did you flash the one for your carrier? (It should flash the kernel at the same time)
Did you try clearing the messaging app's data/cache?
Did you try flashing another custom ROM to see if you still get the errors? If not, could give 4.2.1 a shot.

Yeah i flashed the one for my carrier. And i figured it would do the kernel, but just in case i tried flashing it separately....
and yeah i did try wiping the data/cache, but i will try it again.
and I could always try flashing another custom rom. Do you have any suggestions? i just want one that works quickly, is stable, and has messaging lol

I might try that one out. I was looking at some reviews, someone said there may be Bluetooth issues. I just bought the Moga, and i need BT to work perfecty...
Any input on that?

Best thing to do is to read changelogs but for now I'll give you the answer, it has been fixed a few releases ago in Task650's AOKP.

That guy flashed the bootloaders. I'm not sure what the pictures are supposed to be but they don't seem to lead to anything.
My take on it: Don't play with bootloaders, it's the only way to really brick your phone (if something goes wrong that is).

Understood, I wont mess with them.
I really just want to understand a couple things.
1. Why did the ROM I installed before work for everyone else except me? and i followed the instructions.
and 2. after flashing to stock, how am I unable to fix this?
mainly to just learn what went wrong.
Sometimes the reason just...you had a bad flash or something broke down in there. I did the CF easy root method and flashed TWRP in goo manager and then started flashing. I've never tried the toolkit but like anything many times it just depends on the download you got or a bad flash. We've all had several...just hate when it involves rooting or using ODIN.

Is there any way to repair it?
Alright, so....
I think i have figured out what the issue was. Or by random chance got it fixed.
I was going to try to install the Synergy Rom. And while going through the custom setup, i noticed "Install AOSP Messaging" and "Install TW Messaging"
I chose the TW messaging, and went through the rest of the installer.
For some reason i kept hanging at the "Samsung Galaxy S3" logo, and it would not boot.
(Honestly, i've used custom roms since the HTC Touch Pro 2, and i've NEVER had such issues. And i personally think the TP2 was way more difficult lol)
So I ONCE AGAIN flashed to stock. and randomly the messaging works!
I only can guess that even when flashing the stock rom, it doesnt change something regarding the messaging app. I'm not sure. All i know is that i'm on stock again and everything is working. I highly doubt i'm going to try another custom rom for a while until i have a full understanding of what happened.
But in case anyone else was having this problem, i hope this helped.
I hate to create threads, but I haven't seen this issue anywhere. First, I know all phones are not created equal. But, they ought to be somewhere in the ballpark, I'd hope. Currently, I'm running Slim 4.2.2, 3.0-based, no problems. However, I wanted to try out a few different 3.4-based ROMS to see how unstable/stable they were and what they had to offer, as I'm sure Slim will be moving to 3.4 in the future. The problem is that I can only run CM10.1's newest nightly. I don't have any problems with that. Now, any other 3.4-based ROM causes all sorts of problems. This includes, but is not limited to, AOCP, Task's AOKP, and PA (all the newest versions as of today in the Development thread). What happens is when I flash - and I always wipe EVERYTHING except external SD... data, factory reset, cache/dalvik, internal SD, EVERYTHING - the phone boots, but as soon as it boots, everything starts crashing. I can't even get past the setup wizard. I've tried fixing permissions, reflashing over and over, different recoveries, you name it. I've tried different 3.4 kernels figuring it was kernel related. Same thing. Nearly every app on the thing starts crashing. Does this sound like a case where my phone just doesn't like the 3.4 bases yet? And if so, why no problems with CM? I'm not flashing anything besides the ROM base and the GAPPS. I'm just curious if anyone else is having these issues. I understand there's some problems with 3.4 at this time, but from what I've read in the threads, most people are able to boot and get things set up. Any help is appreciated.
Not at all sure if this is your problem but are you sure your using the right gapps package. Just a suggestion.

I appreciate the response! I'm actually back on TW for a bit. I was using the correct gapps, but I never actually verified my MD5's, so it's possible I just had a few bad downloads. Once things get straightened out with 3.4, I'll make the move back. I seem to be the only one with this particular problem, so it has to be either my phone or simply corrupt files. Thanks again for your help.

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong spot or if I broke some forum rule, I have never posted here but I have read a ton, thanks for all the help you guys have posted by the way.
First off I am not by any means an expert on computers and rooting but I have a decent understanding of the basics and can easily follow online instructions to root. I obviously have a d2att, I recently rooted it. I was happy with it unrooted for nearly a year but when samsung released the 4.3 update my phone really started sucking. Eventually I decided to root just to get a rom that functions better. I have been running gummy rom kit kat, I think its the nightly from march 10th, I have had no real issues other than some random reboots here and there. My mom begged me to root her d2att because she also was tired of the buggy samsung 4.3 update. I eventually rooted hers, even though I really didn't want to, knowing that I would get calls about every little issue and I would have to run and fix it... anyway
She has had issues that I have not had, she says that her phone randomly turns to silent periodically and causes her to miss calls, and she also says her bluetooth is intermittent. I don't use blue tooth at all so I wouldn't know but I have not had an issue with randomly going to silent. I have tried a lot of custom roms over the past 2 months since I rooted, including CM11, CM10 (all of them), AOKP, slimroms, of course Gummy, and a variety of others. All of them have had some major bug that is unbearable, from not connecting to wifi or not sending and receiving MMS, except for gummy which I have only had the random reboots.
Okay, so when I rooted mine originally I made a nandroid copy of the original rom after I rooted it, I didn't realize but somehow this nandroid file created to my internal memory instead of my sd card, so when I loaded a custom rom it was deleted. Like I said I'm far from an expert and that was a huge mistake. So anyway when I rooted my moms (same phone) I made a nandroid of her stock rom after the root and saved it to my computer, tablet, flash drive, external hd... etc.
Now that she is having problems with the absolute best ROM that I have found functionality wise, I thought I would restore her stock rom and debloat it, try my best to get it running better. I used her nandroid back up and restored my phone to it, only to get a ton of errors, everything was force closing. I kept getting the popups that "unfortunately ... has stopped" they were nonstop. Literally all I could do was hit ok and try to do the same with the next window, finally I get rid of those and the phone wouldn't run any apps or make any calls etc. So I rebooted to recovery and went restored my nandroid that I made earlier that day and all is fine with my phone again.
So here is my questions. First off when I made the nandroid of her stock rom I renamed the file STOCKROM, that way I would def know what it is and to not delete it. Will renaming a nandroid file make it not work correctly?
Also would a nandroid back up of her phone simply not work correctly on mine? I thought it would but it def does not. Maybe there is saved data that doesn't match my sim card.. I have no clue.
If I used this nandroid on her phone do you think it will work corretly?
If I messed up the file be renaming it, does anyone have a backup for stock that I can possibly use?
Last but not least, any recommendations for custom roms for d2att? I really just want speed, and no bugs
I am really sorry about the excessively long post, but I wanted to fill in the background info before I asked my questions, in case it was needed. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
Again please forgive me if I broke a forum rule or posted in the wrong spot, I don't typically post on any forums ever, I just tend to read the posts of others. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY AND ALL HELP, GREATLY APPRECIATED.

If you decide to go back to stock 4.3, this thread should help. AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore
I've never had to use a nandroid and definitely have not tried one on a phone different from where it was made, but from reading in the past I don't believe that renaming it is causing the problem. I believe it is probably due to either trying it on a different phone or the file structure may have been changed when you moved it to the pc. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in regarding the nandroid on your phone. If it is still on her phone I think it may work.
thanks

Thanks for the tips. I know its still on her phone and the name hasnt been altered. I wanted ti try a debloated touch wiz for her. I havr liked Gummy but loaded a carbon jelly beam tonight. So far so good. Any suggestions for custom ROMs for attd2? I have had a time finding one bthats useful. I'm glad I have my gummy on nandroid. When I finish screwing around for her that's where I'll head back to I'm sure. Unless I find a sweet bug free ROM through a reccomendation. I'll check the link in the AM thanks for the reply.
