//I AM STILL TYPING AND WILL TAKE TIME << SO DONT REPLY
i had typed and mistakenly deleted the tab before clicking post :|...i will delete these two lines once i am done with everything//
guys!
something we are all familiar with on galaxy grand forum is spamming!
indeed there are still many users/new users who post WRONG POSTS in WRONG SECTIONS..
still u can find questions which are off-topic/not related to forum/which have been answered several times/which have been asked several times by making new threads etc.
it not only takes up unnecessary space on server, but also lowers the value of GALAXY GRAND DUOS community..
developers getting pissed by day to day ETA's and helpers pissed by posting same and same answer, to several people !
i do know that xda's search option on top right might be not that accurate for some here,
SO
here i am here making an illustrative thread,(after discussing and opinions from many on xda)
WHICH will not only help you to solve ur problems regarding roms, but also day to day frequently asked multiple times answered questions....
its possible that it does not contain everything that u need , but seriously guys, it will at least decrease number of SPAMS on our threads...
all problems will be mostly illustrated below.........
just read it once please before posting in all other forums....
Few Information better read before any Posting!! (most Important..)1. AOSP based Rom/ Non touchwiz Rom (cm11/carbon,resurection remix, paranoid android,Pac-man ,Omni,and others)DO NOT support DUAL SIM Functionality..(it Requires Broadcomm Specific Codes which are not released as Open Source)...
you want Dual Sim , be On any touchWiz based Rom(Stock, Gennxt , etc)..
2. Difference between Touchwiz based Roms and AOSP Based Roms of our Device
1. AOSP Roms DON'T HAVE Dual sim functionality.
2. these are small in size as have only basic android Framework and Do not include bloatwares.
(Roms size~198mbs+)
3. AOSP Roms don’t have TW features, (but have their own**)!
4. they are Highly Customizable and meant for performance.
5. Lower RAM Consumption compared to TouchWiz.
1. Touchwiz Roms HAVE dual sim functionality
2. TouchWiz Roms are Larger in size
because of heavy Framework and Bloatwares*
(ROM Size~844mb+)
3. Touchwiz Got its own specific Features and its own apps for Music/camera etc.
4.they got polish and looks (in own way).
5. High RAM consumption Compared to AOSP. * Custom Roms based on Touchwiz are mostly Bloats free.
**Features varies from Rom to Rom.....get a quicky info in Roms Section!
Recovery Mode and Download Mode
recovery mode- it is a mode used for multipurpose uses.......described below..
switch off the device..hold (vol. up +powe+menu) combination...and let device start..once device start...remove hands atleast from power button else it will switch it on again!!!
How to operate it???
use volume buttons to navigate up and down...
use power button to select!
stock recivery(by default samsung recovery has limited options below....
-reboot system now
(Reboots the system).
-apply sdcard:update.zip
(Install diverse updates like themes, custom roms etc.)
-wipe data/factory reset
(Deletes all the apps, data and system settings(Files on the external SD-card will stay untouched)
-wipe cache partition
(Only wipes (formats) /cache partition (sometimes used as temp storage for updates, market downloads, etc) it hasn't anything common with Dalvik-cache which is in /data by default and it implies that the following boot after wiping cache partition will not be any longer than usually.)
beacuse stock recovery is limited.....custom recoveries are important which have got special features like backup/restore...and many more..
I use CWM...and it is easy to use..i will tell in later section
Download mode- it is used to flash firmware by Odin...
Combination - (vol. down+menu+power button)
once it boots ..there will be a screen ..
volume up to confirm that u want to go ahead and flash by Odin.
volume down to backoff and restart if u did it by mistake.... using ODIN
(lifeline of Samsung firmware installers )
it is really simple app fpr windows PC to flash firmwares/kernels/recoveries etc.
when you brick your device, dont panic and post anywhere...just re-install the firmware by Odin for developer's sake
it will remove everything and simply will install the Samsung's firmware and will make your device like a fresh new one!
an app for saving asses of guys like me who unwillingly/unknowingly brick there device!!
Odin download
link~ http://bartztech.com/wp-content/uploads/YP-G1/Restore/Odin3v1.7.zip
Odin Prerequisites:-
When you need to flash using Odin, you need the Samsung drivers, so that Odin can detect your device while attached to PC via. USB cable....
- Samsung USB Drivers
linky~ http://www.mediafire.com/download/hzlnda0l5t8qyes/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones(3).exe
download drivers
remove old ones installed by control panel(if any)
reboot
install the drivers given
reboot
ready to be used
A stock Samsung USB cable (it seems to give better result than other USB cable bought on third party sellers.)
Flashing by Odin
Note- An Odin flashable file is supposed to be in .tar or .tar.md5 format only.
1.Run Odin.
2. Put your device in download mode(switch off then press vol down+power+menu button altogether.....once it starts..leave buttons else will switch off again coz u are holding power button remember !!)
3.You should see a yellow/blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying ready. that is your device ID actually.. It means that your device is ready to be flashed! (It is important because it means that device connected is recognized by Odin )
4.Go into the PDA section and take your .tar file.(if single file is given.)
if multiple .tar files are given then put CSC in CSC...phone/modem in PHONE section respectively
5. if there is also a pit file then make sure that re-partition box at left is UNCHECKED>!!
6. meditate for a while and ensure once again hat files u have selected are for galaxy grand duos only !!
obvious if you flash s3 files by Odin..you will end up in boot loop..
7. hit start and pray to god that all goes well *kidding*..it will
8.When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box saying PASS..if it says fail.....i.e. your USB is not accurately detected...or is detected but disconnects in between.... it happens sometimes if it is not THAT GOOD usb cable...dont panic..remove battery and repeat all steps again!! .just dont let it touched even by air if that happens..keep trying and it will work...once work is done..the first thing u do is get a good USB cable (its i am talking about extreme cases , there will be no problem else )
once it is done , device will be rebooted ( if reboot is checked in left box(u will get what i am talking about once you open app and see by yourself)
Note:- if you have flashed a firmware..first boot might take time from 3-10 minutes...just keep patience and wait....
if still it doesnt start after 10 minutes ....remove battery...re-insert...go in recovery mode..clear data/format and clear cache..now reboot..wait again.... and you are good to go
ROOTING and CWM
basic reason why most of people come on XDA is how to root!
thanks to @chotu222 who already have made a thread so that people can follow and acquire what they wished!!
i will be short and still descriptive!!!
(as it is already mentioned in forums and its pain to type so much :/)
PROCEDURE:
simply for quick pickers.. install CWM and then flash superUser through it!!
is it really that difficult to do??
there is a cwm given with SeLinux support(which is must for installing kitkat roms ), so why not just install that CWM and be carefree (whatever u flash, it wont give any problem)
simple two steps.....
Step 1: installing CWM...
here is SeLinux supported CWM file..(thanks to @pawitp \m/ )
linky~ http://goo.im/devs/pawitp/i9082_cm11.0/recovery_20131210.tar
download it and flash via odin
NOTE- while flashing by Odin , untick auto reboot Option(because rebooting device makes stock recovery to over-write over CWM recovery....)
once the flashing process is done....simply remove and re-insert battery, and go to Recovery Mode, flash the Fix-Recovery.zip given below...
that will fix your problem
Fix-Recovery link- http://www.mediafire.com/download/74mmd1x4af6hlo4/Fix-Recovery.zip.
Step 2: installing superSU: SuperSU allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root.
linky~ http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip
just flash the superSU by CWM.....
reboot the device...
and your device is now rooted(check it if there is a superSU app in ur app drawer or not).
that is it!!
that's all it takes to root your device...
just 5 minutes :/
NO..You wont loose any data..its just that you simply installed an app in system root directory
Custom roms
Custom Roms are customized Roms for devices..providing us with various different options/advantages over stock Rom what we have Pre-installed by company!..it could be a de-bloated same stock rom w or w/o extra features,/ a whole new version of android/ a ROM based with UI built for different mobile...
simply..there are many Roms and the list is actually long..i cant simply explain but still tried to....
They are mostly based on Aosp/Aokp format(in simple words, with look of nexus UI), or OEM's based(in simple words like Samsung's touch wiz, htc's sense)..
every rom has its unique specialty..unique UI and Unique features.
OEM's are heavily programmed and sized, bloated with factory apps pre-included..
that is the reason that nexus based Roms (~250Mbs+) are twice smaller than the official firmwares(~800Mbs+)!
thanks to all respected Developers who did put such their efforts, and have provided us with so many ROMs !
i am enlisting all ROMs down here with short descriptions, so that you can find everything under one thread here!
AOSP BASED ROMs-
Kitkat (android 4.4.2)
CyanogenMod 11-
thanks to @pawitp for developing this Rom. i dont think i need any explaination for CyanogenMod
its basic AOSP Rom based on Kitkat(4.4.2)...used as base rom for many Custom Roms, It is considered as standard Rom by many Users...Good battery backup,performance and less RAM consumption is speciality of this Rom..it don't implement much extra features except basics, as try to be as near to Nexus stock rom!
developer is always trying to update it as soon as CyanogenMod releases any update...
pawitp has also given delta update Option if you are using limited mbs and internet..its like update and patches which are directly supposed to be flashed (and are <20mbs)..just the modifications made are given , so that you dont download the whole rom...
NOTE- just read FAQ section in cm11 thread for more information on Delta updates.

Carbon Rom
One of the most appreciated Rom Built for galaxy Grand i9082 @xenon92 did put some serious green lantern efforts here (the reason why it has got amazing battery backup and performance)
personally, have used many Roms built for the device,but carbon Rom was the one with least problem when Run by ART compiler..
not only its RAM usage decreased from avg. 300 to 210, but also it supports Gapps in ART (while many Roms conflicts with gapps and give FCs in ART)
it has got many add-on features then just plain kitkat Roms...With the possibility of Halo getting Implemented it Near future(Depends on Carbon Team), lockscreen blur, notifications on lockscreen and Active display comprised as its one of good add on features, there is a Good battery backup (actually good,), with performance..
just give it a shot and u will love it

SlimKat
One of best thing about @xenon92 is that once he starts rolling new roms, he just cant stop ....
so again, introduced slimRom with kitkat power..
slimRoms are most light weight code based Roms , for performance!..they don't add any extra features(Halo and all) because performance is MUST
good when it comes to battery backup
just install and u will never regret it

Posting in the wrong section
@raghavsharmaxda you are posting in the wrong section!!!!
Post this in the general section.
The main reason I postes this here is coz many do come here for FAQ thread..
So its better that they read it here near FAQ thread (so that ppl think twice before posting noon kinda qsns in FAQ too and helpers do save sometime !!).
Still if its a trouble I will surely move it..
Thanks for advice...

+1...i also somehow feels the same......with grand becoming older and older down the line.......there wud be probably more activities in Q & A section with no more stock firmware upgrade and amazing devs developing new roms ( hopefully ) and new probs wud arise if any......

I also suggest adding site-specific Google search, it's a lot better than XDA search. It should help a lot of newbs.
Add "site:xda-developers.com" after the keywords i.e. "battery drain problem site:xda-developers.com" and type it into Google search. It also works on other sites, not just XDA.

Hi,
I have sg s3 sgh-i747m from telus and I have been looking every where but couldn't find an answer. The admins are too lazy to make a Canadian section so allot of people who have the same model run into the same problem. Can i use any other roms from other models like sgh-i747 or would I break my device. Also can I can a list of possible of compatible roms? That would be much appreciated.
I need answers and I hope that this will help others in the future.
Thanks
You can use any ROM designed for a d2att. This has been repeated all over the i747/i747m forum. Only stock ROMs are unique, custom ROMs are not.

The d2att is the designation for an AT&T s3 which is the same, hardware wise, as the Rogers, Bell, Telus, Virgin, and Koodo models in Canada.
I just tryed to flash cyanogenmod 11 d2att but failed. it said that i was not d2att.
Try changing ur recovery to latest twrp/cwm works for me sometimes im using bell i747m

I can load Validus, CM11, and Cyanfox which are all 4.4.2-based ROMs and this is on an i747m that was running stock 4.1.2. I never updated beyond the 4.1.2 bootloader. Have a look at the updater script in the ROM and it will tell you which bootloaders are supported.
Apparently I was d2mtr. I managed to install cm 11. Thanks guys =)
s3 sgh-i747m
Hello everyone,
i'm hoping i'm in the right spot for this. I'm trying to connect my Samsung galaxxy s3 sgh-i747m to my car. it is said i need to get android auto, and to get android auto i need to get lollipop version 5.0 or later. My question here is, does that rom exist for my version phone and if so where can i find it. second question, can someone hold my hand while i do the upgrade as this would be my first time.
thanks everyone, much appreciated.

There is no stock Android 5.0 ROM for the sgh-i747m. Samsung stopped at 4.4.2.
If you want 5.0, you'll need to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and then a custom ROM.

I'm not sure how many of us are out there, tinkering around with the 8+ year old Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 . While I am a newbie, I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid ( based on Android 8 ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life.
I have always used ODIN to INSTALL a 'recovery' system such as TWRP ( which is a .Tar file )
After TWRP is installed ( using ODIN ) I unplug phone from my computer. Then boot into TWRP recovery ( holding down the three buttons ). I do a clean install (flash) of the newest O/S that I can find ( Android 4.4 is really old ). It is that .Zip file that I flash, then reboot the phone. Always works for me. Eventually I learned how to back up all my contacts, SMS, logs, photos, etc.
BTW I am totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.
I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).
My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.
These are damn fine phones.
Friend,
It's been so long, I don't even remember why I made this post. What you said about Odin and TWRP does sound familiar though. My S3 died years ago, I haven't done any phone modifications since.
Kind regards,
Keven

Well, that post of yours was from February 2014. Just like yesterday, eh?
But so sorry to hear about your S3. I thought these phones were indestructible!
They are so easy to tinker around with, without bricking. And because these Samsung Galaxy S3 phones are plentiful, zero cost, they're worry free when having fun messing around with them!
Take care, be safe & be healthy.

I've just come into possession of an old i747m. Still works, top glass is all cracked. But digitiser is undamaged. Touch screen works... I'm wanting to use it to play music in my garage while I tinker.. so I can still use my main phone and not have it plugged in...(Bluetooth speaker is on the blink you see)...it sorely needs a tune up though.. just want to be able to stream music through Spotify or pandora and use turbo VPN if I need to.. play store is seemingly not wanting to work well...
I'll have a go at your instructions... Provided I can still find links to all the files. Cheers

For those of you running Gear VR Oculus.
You must Odin the stock tar first: Link to Stock Tar "URL"
Then Odin TWRP Link here: "URL" and then flash the Gear VR Definitive Rom Package: "URL" Link Gear VR Definitve Rom NJ5 V1.0
You will not have CD Installer mod or ASEC. As these mods stop Gear VR from working!!

Your link for Gear VR Definitve Rom NJ5 V1.0 seems to be broken.
I had to remove the working links in my reply due to low post count.
It seems that to try to get this running is kinda hard with the VR.

Are there any updates on the retail verizon note 4 root?
I was excited when I found the stock odin thread because I have the N910V NJ5 but then I realized they were just flashing my stock Rom on to the DE. This is the first android phone I have had in a long time and I got it because I wanted to root it. But apparently I didn't do enough research it was a last minute decision to grab the note instead of the iPhone 6+ I had in my hand.
Gear VR on 1.6?
I just read through this whole thread. Great stuff!
I either missed it or there isn't any confirmation yet that Gear VR works on v1.6. Can anyone report their findings on this?
This link on the OP looks like it's only relevant for V1.0, but I'm not certain: Link Gear VR Definitve Rom NJ5 V1.0-Still Testing-Not available yet!!!!
language
This rom have french language? ???
I'm having issues writing to my external SD card with version 1.6 of this rom. I can write files to the SD card without a problem, but once I reboot all new files are gone with only the new folders remaining. Any ideas?

Through help in another thread, this was occuring because of a bad sd card. My old 64gb card works without issue.
Factory Reset
Has anyone having issue with the Factory Reset with this ROM? When I rest the phone, instead of taking to the window to erase all data, it takes me to the wi-fi settting. Thanks.

Try doing a factory reset through TWRP recovery or by reflashing the ROM zip file.
My baseband is 910VVRU1ANJ5... Is it a DE phone? Or is it so obvious that I would know if I had a DE phone? Thanks!
Did you buy it straight from Samsung, did you pay full price, did it say Developers Device on the box, under the battery and when you boot into download mode does it say "unlocked"? If not then ...no.

None of the above... Thanks for the prompt answer. I think this is my 12th Android phone and it didn't dawn on me that I wouldn't be able to at least root!
I just came over from FireKat ROM because I wanted to my Note with a Gear VR and noticed the status bar on the home screens is black. Tried some Xposed Modules to get rid of it and have a transparent status bar like I did with FireKat but I'm unable to fix the situation. Any ideas or is the status bar just always black with Definitive?
im running 1.6, do i need to do a complete wipe before upgrading to 1.9? or can i just do a cache/davlik wipe?
Sorry for the n00b question guys, but I just got my DE Note 4 today. I flashed the TWRP recovery and rooted, but I am having my doubts on flashing this ROM because I have a different baseband than the one in the title (N910VOYU1ANJ5). My question is, will I pork my new toy by flashing this, or will I be fine. I tried googling and couldn't find a definite answer either way. Thanks in advance.
root！！！！！！
I just want to know if Note4 with non dev edition can be root？？？？

Remember: Read twice - Flash once
Just confirming...
Sorry I'm still relatively new to Andriod and never rooted or messed around on the filesystem of my Note 4 before. But after going through the apps (and permissions they have) after my phone was explioted from a hardcore BIOS rootkit I got on my computer, and the hacker that followed. It is absolutly crazy the stuff that comes stock on these phones, makes me kind of sick. Needs cleaned, I don't even like carrying it and I'm using a No Root Firewall, which makes me even sicker when I look at the log of blocked access to all this junk. Done ranting.
Seems to be relatively straight forward as far as a Linux-esk filesystem layout. Just confirming this will still work fine on a ANJ5 build, not ever turning the phone back in to verizon so that doesn't matter.
Another random question, anyone point me in the correct direction for possibly running from an SD card or dual booting this model note 4 with a linux OS. Could be a live instance or persistant, doesn't much matter to me. Rather have something like Debian or Kahli. Would be nice to be able to pen test from my phone.
Apologize if this is the wrong spot for this.
Good day XDA!! This is my first ever post or thread on XDA, for about 5 years I have been a spectator to this site, and it has been an essential source for all things us android foondies want and need. But for the past month I have hit a blank when it comes to my new tab3 ve 7.0 sm-t116nq (goyave3g).
It started when I wanted to root it, little to no support for this model was available (at least through the search function) I managed to root through Kingo root on a pc. But now my dilemma is finding/porting rooms for this model. I have no problem with all my Mediatek androids, but I'm in the dark when it comes to samsung. I don't even know where to begin, for other popular Samsung's it's not a problem, obviously because they're popular.
SO, I need some help. I hate this abomination they call touchwiz, I want a vanilla aosp rom for this model, or even better CM or PAC-MAN rom!! I am prepaid to put a lot of time and effort into this. I have extremely limited experience, most of my past successes was actually the success of other xda members (you guys are awesome BTW.) Any info would be apriciated.
So let's revive this tablet and let's start a revolution for budget tablets.

hi! you can read here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-7/rom-tab-3-lite-sm-t116-goyave-t3537793
pit file
Can anyone help me find pit file for galaxy sm-t116NU??????
OMG, Im also stuck here with SM-T116BU which was officially upgraded to Tab E (somehow) how it happened, i don't know since this was my son's Tab 3v originally.
lately. i have rooted tru inception (nice job for the rooting guys) then tried TWRP 3.1.1.0 but couldnt boot, down ver to TWRP 2.8.7.0 bcos the others are either not TAR for odin or files are missing to boot TWRP recovery.
so far, i have tried CM-13 but failed miserably, perhaps those files are corrupted as well
I enjoyed loading with my "Note3 with touchwiz" DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO RECOVER, so i tried using the same ROM N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016. installation smoothly with TWRP into TAB E but could NOT make it BOOT.
I guess some files are missing while downloading those as well or those files have been corrupted thru the years.
N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016 not difficult to find but NEED an expert to cook a SM-116 version since this is best "complete" ROM (need kernel) in my Note3 now
I'll keep trying ROM N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016 into THIS TAB E and mixed with SM_116 kernels n I KNOW I MIGHT BRICK THIS SM-116 Tab E, what the HACK so let it be, NO VENTURE NO GAIN hahahaaa

What exactly are you trying to do?
Well. The TouchWiz works perfectly on my note3 so I'll try to cook a TouchWiz for Sm-t116 from the note3 platform. If u have ready ROM, do send them. Tks in advance !
Ps. Out of town next few days ??

Guys please give the firmware rom for TVRP on the TAB-3 Lite SM-T116 ! Cause when I for some reason flashed TVPP I realized that there are no custom firmwares for this device , But I need 100% working FI-WI, and cyanogen mod does not fit, cause Wi-Fi doesn't work there!
Hello Friends,
I got a Karbonn Titanium Machfive for testing purpose to install Linux on it but then I gave it to one of my family member to use. It was full of adwares, then I applied few restrictions using certain settings. It worked fine for few months though kept on saying installation blocked>> keep clicking ok, which was again quite frustrating. Anyhow, it got updated and now full of adwares of all kind. I wish to install custom ROM now to get rid of those spywares, adwares. Trust me its my second and last device from Karbonn.
Anyone using custom ROM on their device? What all can be installed along with the procedure. I was able to locate this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-to-install-custom-recovery-karbonn-t3179181
But it doesn't say about different customer ROMs, would you please discuss your ROM and method to follow the procedure. ?
I did find 2-3 links on google but not sure if we are allowed to post 3rd Party links on XDA. They say to root using
Mobile Uncle Tools, Maxthon-Root-Tool.apk>> How trustworthy all these tools are? What are the best trustworthy tools to root the devices? Along with the most compatible ROMs for this device.
? No one?
Development has not started yet for this Device. So, we can't expect any further Rom requests or anything.
PS: Just block ads with hosts blocker and disable some stock apps like file manager, install helper.apk, launcher and third-party search console.
Ads won't bother you If you do above things.
