if i flash any rom during battery charging does it will hurt my phone?
Nope, I've never had problems with it!
I always flashed with the usb connected to computer just to keep the battery full and calibrate after flashing, happens nothing wrong to my phone
Hahaha

Just want a general consensus about flashing tw Rom and not losing imei? What's the chance and is it best to stick with those for now? And I think I have seen people post that they lost imei after just rooting ?
Thanks in advance

The risk is low, but read up on it to reduce the chance of it happening. Most users are not affected, yet. Although the exact cause is as of now, unknown. So if your nervous, stay stock for now.

I read everyday and hope that someone finds a fix . I just haven't been able to shake the fear because people who just rooted have even lost imei

It almost seems like the luck of the draw. I originally rooted and installed CWM but reverted to stock out of fear of losing IMEI. Decided to rerooted, CWM, and flash WanamLite.
Great ROM..
But like I said, it seems like the luck of the draw. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and only flashing AT&T based roms.
I have made Rom, flashed Rom, odin, kies , and owner of many many devices and never once have had that happen wonder what's new? I wanna flash badly

People have lost imeis also flashing tw Roms, to be honest I think the rom one flashes has no difference on the chance of losing imei, seems to me its like random, like winning a ****ty lottery with your phone. Hahaha

So im getting ready to send my phone In to samsung to fix and I flashed back entirely to stock and I am not rooted. Since I been on custom roms I havent noticed the cell stand by mis reading in the battery stats. My question is does that really have an affect on battery life is the cell standby fix just just for it to appear correct. I ask because im going to stay unrooted for a few days and im wondering if the bug will have an effect on my battery. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Purely cosmetic. It wont give you an accurate reading is all. Wont affect how much battery it needs.

I flashed this on jb with twrp so.. It should work with anything.
Edit. I think I totally misread, no no effect, flash that when you're back.
Thanks for the responses, really appreciate it. I figured it was cosmetic but just wanted to make sure. Thanks

The one in this parent forums sub forum, try launchers like nova, apex, go, hold the phone differently or move your router or use 2.4ghz not 5g if that applies to you, I've heard wifi fixer helps.

T999 roms should work. Just have a nandroid handy and don't flash any of the Tmobile modems.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
All the T-Mobile roms work on the T999v (I have a t999v on Wind). This includes AOSP roms, TouchWiz and the JellyBean leaks. Same goes for kernels. As mentioned before, just don't touch any radios/modems as they will not work.

Good battery life will be ROM dependent. The ICS roms based on touchwiz should have similar battery life. I also have decent battery life on the AOSP Jellybean roms. The Jellybean touchwiz leaks are a bit more touchy. Some users report lower battery life on some ROMs though it has been improving gradually

That's ypur baseband/modem. It will remain the same when you flash roms. No rom should affect the modem in any way (as far as flashing is concerned).
So yes you can freely flash roms. But do not flash any modems not intended for your model phone!

No you do not need to reflash your modem. They are independent of each other.

Exactly. They are on different partitions. When you flash a rom the baseband will remain the same.
The only time this matters is when you are flashing an ota patch. Then you must be full stock, modem and all.

Thanks a whole lot guys i will be flashing my first custom rom today !! I want to try a jb/aosp but how is camera quality ?
Sent from my SGH-T999V using xda premium
AOSP camera has less features than the touchwiz camera but it's not like you're physically changing the camera itself, so the quality should be the same.
This cm10 aosp rom is loaded whit win !

If you don't flash a rom at 100% battery, does that hurt your battery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
No, but battery life may not be the greatest for a couple of days. I like to flash at full, but if not, i don't sweat it. You want to make sure you have at least 50% though, in the event something goes wrong and you need to reflash.
Yes, the last thing you want is your phone to die during flashing process. That would suck.
I've flashed lots of times and I don't think I've ever had a full battery.
Never noticed any adverse effects.
I try to follow the OP to the T and I've had a lot of success flashing new stuff.

You can recharge while flashing with twrp

I've also flashed many times without full battery. Just make sure you have enough to get you through the process, though. I think I've flashed with as low as 25% before. I was sweating it a bit, though, I'll admit

Try pulling the battery yet and seeing if it spins on a flat surface yet?

I think there should be a stickied thread where people can see why phones shut off! 90% of the times it is cause of a bad battery. Everyday 2 3 new threads are created and everyone has to reply the same tiing over and over again.
