[Q] - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

When downloading a rom it says nand and full wipe. What does it mean when it says nand? I currently have a samsung moment that a have owned for 2 1/2 years and i have rooted my phone and changed the rom plenty of times. I will b upgrading to a samsung galaxy s3 in 7 days.

Nand = nandroid = full system backup. Always a good idea.

To be more on topic... Yeah just do a full backup from recovery like you most likely did on CWM or Recovery 3.1.1

downloading now. thanks!
Awww sheeet!!! I hope this is better than everything else so far.
ok this is BY FAR the best ICS experience. I've had every rom and they've all done a decent job but this is amazing. no lag at all, holding home button to pull up recent apps is smooth, swiping to close is snappy, and the browser feels up to date! Im in love again. This + Air Kernel= ICS heaven

found one issue. cant do sprint profile/prl updates. it FCs. anyone know how to update those from dial pad?
Ah I realize now Sprint updates and 4G wont work bc its not the actual Sprint version. Regardless, this is seriously flawless. Feels like a brand new phone
Good looks Sensei :thumbup:

Been using this for a couple of hours and its by far the best ics experience! Miss the toggles but its blazing fast- stock was fast but just put air kernel 3.7, cranked up to 1.4 and its flying
it is quick... but i'm missing my features lol... i'm sure they will come with time... this is just an initial release to get stock 4.0.4 out there... no worries really!!
I agree on the speed . Damm its snappy .

Pure curiosity...

Just wondering... mostly for the Sprint users but anyone can answer. Now I'm a flashaholic and I flash a different ROM every few days or so... and I wanted to know what ROM does everyone run back to?? I really like the look of paranoid android and seem to always go back to that one, but I'm really digging black bean right now!

Paranoid Android is my base. I hardly ever flash anything else though I have done so much flashing and modding in my days that I'm sick of it. I just stick with what works now.

Note 2 - 4.1.2

Whats up guys?
I have a basic question.. I have the Note 2 from AT&T and my buddy just got the HTC 1. We are both running 4.1.2 but his phone looks different like the status bar for example. Is it possible I can remove Touchwiz and run the basic 4.1.2 while still keeping features with the S-Pen? I just want the S Note app to work.. I dont use the S-Pen to hover over information.
Let me know, Thanks in advance
On a second note I dont think I want to **** with the ROMs again until I fully understand.. Close this thread please
Any tw based rom should run spen.
Some aps may not work 100%
But there's always decent work arounds.
Im running an outdated rom and s pen works great. Good idea about reading up though. Remember to always make a bu in recovery and you should be safe.
Happy flashing!

I think I might just wait for the update for the Note 2. The S4 is running 4.3.3 I believe.. I wonder why I havent gotten it yet. I want the brighter status bar along with the icons. Im rooted but running stock ROM.. should I remove root when the update comes?

Your friends 1 is running sense 5 which may have a different looking status bar/icons than TW will provide. You can't really expect to see the same thing from the 2 frameworks.
You haven't got the 4.3.3 update yet because nobody has gotten it from sammy. You'll see it once sammy drops it and your carrier chops it up.

And to answer your question you shouldn't install the update from att when it come since you're rooted. You can expect to see a custom rom with all the 4.3.3 goodies within a few hours after the official release.

Sammy needs to hurry up, Im ready for change! I tried custom ROMS and it wasnt fun. I almost bricked my device. I'd like to stay rooted but stay on an official ROM if possible. Whats weird is, I had 8 counts towards the flash, then I used samsung kies to get a stock firmware and it now says:
Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 count)
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom

Hard bricked Jtag Testing Phone needed.

Hi, I have just received my Jtag box, and I only have two jig adapters, one for for T989 and N7000. I would like to test this Box, and I have no phone on hand. if someone would like to fix his/her phone for free, then pm me. or if you would like me to list this service on ebay, I will do it with a minimum price that ebay will allow me to list it. and here is another thing, if you live in Houston, TX. then you got it.
I am offering two phones to be fixed, and I am not offering free shipping. so let me know guys if want this.
i have 1 bricked
Lol, that was since last year, now i have my own store. anyway since you replied, i can do it for you for free.

Hmm it's not currently bricked but I could see what happens if I flash a skyrocket ROM on this [emoji6] [emoji6]
Nah I'll donate my repair to someone else who needs it [emoji2]
Do you mind if I do that?

Flashing a ROM of such similar hardware won't brick...hell it may even boot. If you wanna intentionally brick your phone, overwrite the radio, Odin partitions etc.

Yep. Porting from skyrocket is easy enough though.

Guys, you can flash Skyrocket roms... Best to follow with an appropriate Hercules kernel.
I only flashed Embryo, but people used to do it plenty.
Of course everything comes with risk in this game... And I in know way am stamping it with a guarantee.... But if a few other t989 vets would chime in, I think they'd agree.
Now one thing.... The only experience I have with this is TouchWiz based roms. I never flashed a skyrocket Aosp rom. So take that for what it's worth.
It was no different. Do a nandroid backup first. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik... Flash rom, flash kernel. Gapps if aosp, reboot. Needed t989 kernel simply because without it, rotation was messed up. Not an issue if you don't use landscape. Of course, you keep your t989 radio as well.
So, to be fair, I'd get confirmation from someone about flashing Skyrocket aosp roms.... Cause I only know TouchWiz roms are no problem.

I will also add... Why? Aosp roms are Lol very similar, plus or minus a few options. I don't see the need to flash other roms. But that's just me.
With TouchWiz it was different... Mostly on a theming standpoint.

I called sprint about it and they told me that once i update to 4.4, it should work. If anyone running 4.4 can verify that this works, that would greatly help!
4.4 sucks.. doing do it man

that's a terrible lie ... Im on stock 4.4.2 and I get "your device isnt compatible" ... think we have to upgrade phones cuz A8 moved on.
