Develop Bugs

Made a dumb move

ok so I was flashing (experimenting) Skyrocket ROMs for my Hercules. So I was kinda going crazy on the flashing since I was bored so flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560759
BTW it was NOT SKYROCKET ROM, this is ATT GS2 which is completely different than Skyrocket. Skyrocket ROM is compatible with our device, just FYI
Anyways, boom the installation was snap and it rebooted automatically as it said on the OP. Then the phone just went black... wouldn't turn on, nothing. I pulled the battery and inserted nothing.... I was like WTF that I did..... of course it BRICKED!
I was going crazy (well not really lol). Luckily I still have warranty so called T-Mobile and got it replaced, will be here next week.
Well the point is READ READ and READ before you flash anything, I got lucky since I have warranty but not everyone.
Lesson learned in a hard way!

You need to fix this post.. The rom you flashed was not for the SkyRocket but was for the ATT SGS 2 which is totally different phone.. PLEASE PLEASE dont start another Rumor that Skyrocket roms are not safe.. because they are.
Not being mean but if you dont specify then for the next month we will have 100 threads asking about SR roms on the Hercules..
Edit: Not to mention you can trick it into download mode and use odin to fix it.. search for instructions if you want to try.

Kinda ironic of the ROM's title xD

Not sure why you posted this.. there was no question.. this is Exactly what I said. Not a Skyrocket rom so it should have been obvious it wouldn't work.
But unless you follow the link and see its for the ATT SGS 2, the OP leads you to believe he bricked flashing a Skyrocket Rom and that's misleading and should be corrected to reflect that.

All skyrocket roms are fully compatible with our phones?
Edit: Nvm I searched for it myself

I guess the moral of this story is if you are gonna flash an AT&T rom on the hercules you have to make sure you are getting it from the (skyrocket) forum..
If your are not paying attention it would be easy to overlook that it little but very important detail
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth

Couldn't you just restore back to stock with ODIN...Samsung phones are pretty unbrickable in that regard

There is almost always a way out with ODIN. It takes a lot for your phone to not respond to ADB

no, I flashed the wrong modem which was included in the ROM. It's hard bricked

Lol newbs. Just cuz you brick your phone does not always mean "oh I'll just use Odin" lol. U can't flash the wrong radios and modems and expect Odin to save your ass. Its called a JIG. Search it. You can buy via eBay or wherever u get lucky at. The sgh-i777 and sgh-i727 are totally different. If they werent, then please explain why at&t released two desperate phones near the same time branded the "galaxy s2". Lol. Good luck on your search.

Unless the partition was overwritten that contains DL mode then it will ALWAYS work.. .
Also did you try ..
1. remove battery.
2. plug in phone to usb on computer with battery STILL OUT
3. while plugged in hold down volume up and down.
4. Still plugged in and still holding the volume up and down, insert your battery.
5. boom choose continue and find download mode
Usually foolproof.

Look at the ROM's title

Darthstalker ROM -- All things not development related--

I figured I would start this thread so that we can move all the non-development talk out of the development section. I hope people will use it so that when something that pertains to development is talked about it will be easier to find. We can discuss what kernels gives best battery life, which ones work and which one break things. We can post about our favorite apps, widgets, wallpapers, or how the weather is outside. Maybe someone will get help on an issue they are having. We can discuss anything within the guidelines of XDA, lets just try to help keep Jovy's thread clean.
I'll start, has anyone had an issue when coming out of sleep the screen is dim and you have to go into brightness and tap it to make it work? I think maybe I set my clock frequency to low or maybe I should be using a different governor. Another issue that bugs me is when I have ripple effect set and use a black background for my lockscreen the borders of the screen look slightly grey. I have read posts about this and by turning off ripple effect the color is like it should be. I like the ripple effect and I like black backgrounds, does anyone know about a fix for this, or does anyone notice this issue on their phone.
Here's the link to the Darthstalker ROM if you read this post and want to check out the actual ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442
I am not the developer of this ROM, all credit for this great ROM goes to jovy23 and those he's listed in his OP.

I flash quite a few kernels, always making a backup prior so I can always restore. When restoring I always wipe like I'm installing a new ROM. Just to make sure nothing gets left behind.

Same here! I find 99.9% of ROM-related issues for us flashaholics stem from not performing a full wipe prior to a flash. I've been fully stable on every DaRTHSTALKER update, with LOTS of varying kernel testing, by using this method. Full data + cache + Dalvik wipe then flash than another cache/dalvik wipe before the boot is always a good strategy!

I always make backups for any change I flash too but the last phone I rommed was my g1. The vibrant was too much of a pain and there wasn't any good roms with Wi-Fi calling. I know these things are a different beast so I just wanted to make sure. Btw doesn't nand do all of the wiping process for you?

Much better. I guess I didn't even try the Rom tweaks on this one in the first place. Gonna see tomorrow how much better it will be. On another note, has anyone successfully connected to allshare play with another gs3? My girlfriend got hers (completely stock 4.1.1 w/no root) and everything else interacts except for that. Would like to group cast with her and I've followed the videos online to do it but our phones don't show up in each other's network, connected to WiFi of course.

Thank you for this thread, this is an excellent idea!
I've been a fan of this ROM since the very day the version 9 was uploaded. I got my SGS3 late December (this is my first android device), tried a few ROMs and stopped on this one. (BTW: a suggestion to put a link to the DARTHSTALKER S3 ROM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442 on OP so everyone new to this knows what it is all about).
This being my first post on the entire forum I was not allowed to ask questions on the original ROM's threads (and there are at least two I am following).
Now, if you don't mind a newbie question, here it is:
I am a T-mo subscriber using an unlocked AT&T phone. Currently I am on DARTHSTALKER v9 port for AT&T (here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087164 ). As the most of you I am eagerly awaiting version X1 of the DaRTHSTALKER, but my question is: can I just flash the T-mobile version or should I wait for when an AT&T PORT is available?
Thnks.

I would pm Jovy as he would know best, but maybe someone may be able to answer the question for you. I am new to phones also and the S3 is my first smart phone. I too have tried most of the roms, but keep coming back to this one. I do know that most at&t kernels are compatible, I would want to be 100% sure of ROM compatibility before flashing, might end up in a bad way.

I had something happen last night that I've never had happen before and maybe sometime can tell me what it was. I was restoring back after messing with a few mods that didn't work and when my phone booted up in the lower left corner it said "Safe Mode". I went back into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache, fixed permissions, and then rebooted and safe mode was gone. What is safe mode?
Thanks,
Todd
Edit: Should have used Google first. Safe mode is similar to computer safe mode. It only loads base os to allow for removal of files. Still don't understand why it happened, but atleast I know it wasn't something bad.

I WOULD NOT DO THAT! Although I cannot answer the question directly, every carrier has modified there own Galaxy S3. They are all completely different. I know that if you flash a Universal galaxy S3 rom onto a T-Mobile device, it will completely hard brick it due to a change in the partition structure. If you have an At&t device, I would still stick to the Galaxy s3 at&t roms even though T-mobile is your carrier.

+1. Unlocking your phone only allows it access to a different carriers sim card. It does not change the base of the phone itself. I have a Tmobile SG3 that's unlocked for my travels but any ROM I flash must be a tmo based ROM. In your case stick with the ATT ROMs so you don't end up with a brick, and enjoy this great rom
My s3 is stalking your s3....

Does anyone have a flashable (zip) stock kernel?
I have looked and looked with no luck, I mean I can always just re flash the rom, but wanted to explore other alternatives first.
Thanks for creating this thread btw.

Best TW Rom?

Hey crew so I just made the switch from the Nexus 4 to the S3 on T-Mobile(duh) and while I am currently running CM10.1 M2, I am curious to see a great TW rom. I prefer one that allows you to have scroll able wallpaper, I know i will notice which one stands out eventually, but I just got here.
I had the S3 on Sprint before, and they have a ROM that is called the SuperSonic, that one allowed you to mess with trinity color settings, I was told that this is not available for the T-Mobile S3 Either way I am curious to get you guys's feedback on this.
Thanks in advance, and for those of you that are curious as to why I made the switch, 2 words: Camera, Sound.

Even though I agree with this, some ROMs in the Verizon and T-Mobile section are universal and some do say sprint. I have heard if you flash another us carrier s3 ROM (NOT THE INTERNATION ONE) ANOTHER US CARRIER, Rom, let's say t mobile ROM on Verizon phone, the worst that happens is data won't work and a bunch of force closes, but won't hard brick since it has the same hardware.
DONT QUOTE ME ON THAT! Just say in what I think I heard. Don't go flashing other carrier ROMs (OR INTERNATION ONES) for no reason.
If the OP says universal and it says compatible with sprint, do it if you feel comfortable. Personally I wouldn't until I know someone else is running it.

If you go to that thread you will see there are Sprint users in that thread. Just flash it and test it out, and I'm sure during the install process it will ask you which carrier you are using. But it definitely works on Sprint and any other US carriers.

I know it's safe to flash because it is a universal rom, and specifically states support for the Sprint variant. I wasn't trying to see if it was safe but rather ask if it was stable since universal Roms tend to work well for the device they work on and not so well for the other supported phones. I appreciate all of your warnings but I already know not to flash stuff from other forums unless specifically made for sph-l710.

This is a stock MD7 for the Boost Variant of the Samsung Galaxy S III, with SuperSU andBusybox installed. Apks are also zipaligned. This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device. This was built from the Samsung Official MD7 build.
Thanks to Smith058 for the find, and for letting me use it to cook with.Link to his OPhttp://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/753772-odin-backup-sph-l710_md7-stock.html

Flashing Instructions:
This will NOT flash a modem. If you are coming from stock MD7, you will keep MD7. Same goes for whatever baseband you have right now!
1. Download zip to your sdcard
2. Reboot into CWM, TWRP, or other compatible recovery(I used CWM 6.0.3.1 Touch)
3. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik
4. Flash zip
5. Reboot

Note: It seems when rebuilding this to fix the issues above, I've lost the "rising orange Bs" boot animation. There's still boot-up sound, and the blue Samsung animation, but no Boost-specific. If you want it, you can get it from the previous build If I get time, I'll add it back in manually, but frankly, I like not having it there, it seems to boot a little faster

A little confused.
Is this for Boost or Sprint? Will Sprint users see Boost logos and such? Or is this for people who are trying to use a Boost phone on Sprint service or vice versa?

It's for the Boost Mobile Galaxy s3. Boost has their own variant of the s3 like other carriers now.

Notorious is correct. It's for the Boost variant of the S3. And to answer your second question, yes, it will flash Boost logo, mmsc url, etc.

Glad I asked.
I'd guess that it wouldn't work well on my Sprint phone.

Actually, it'll work just fine. It'll just have Boost signature and mmsc url. Just like Boost and VM users have to change mmsc url, you would have to as well, I think. I say that, because if you check mmsc urlv on this rom, it actually reads "not set." I would be interested to see if mms would send and receive on other carriers with it saying "not set."

Quick ? JD, does my Sprint S3 will have to be on the same MD7(since it was base on that one) or can it be on a different one...i.e newer/older version.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you're referring to your modem, then no, it doesn't have to be MD7. This is a Boost build, so you may have to change your mmsc url to get mms

This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device.

So I will not lose any apps or anything if of course I don't do a total wipe I mean?
I did a nandroid just encase but wondered if it would just do the "android is updating" after installing thus all apps would be untouched.

I flashed it once I had some time it kept nagging about wanting to upgrade and was very laggy and slow compared to blazer I was running not ready to be a daily for me at least not till I have some time to remove all the bloat.

Hmmm, that's the first I've heard of that. This rom is completely stock, but yes, not debloated. I just installed es file explorer and deleted all the crap it comes with. And for the other poster, this will not wipe everything if you do a dirty flash. And I'm using it as my dd with zero issues.

Glad to hear it. I have the MG2 tar as well. Anyone interested in a deodex/debloat of that? And silver, how's the build working for you?

Over 300 downloads, thanks everyone! I haven't heard any feedback, so I'm assuming it is working ok. Let me know!

I'm wondering is this ROM a daily driver or are there any kinks that anyone can report on.
