After trying a few custom ROMs, I've decided to revert back to the old stock ROM, and unroot because I still had my warranty left. So I downloaded the latest ROM available in the Stock ROMs thread, to be specific I8150DXLM3 Malaysia. :victory:
And after flashing via odin, at random times it would shut itself off, which is rather annoying. There was a phone call from a VIP and I couldn't answer it due to the sudden disappearance. HELP. Grr! I hate the stock ROM now. The only reason I used it I really like the Touchwiz. (Don't really care that much for the warranty) Is there any custom ROM that has Touchwiz that doesn't have all the Samsung bloatware?

Before going back to stock, go pristine using CWM 1st. Format data, system and everything you can see. Then reboot into download mode and flash Stock ROM back.
Odds are unless your phone breaks in hardware stage, the SSC will still know its been rooted before. But then in Malaysia they're all lazy asses so you'd wanna find the one that looks the laziest. **malaysian here

i guess,, they really dont have a way to detect whether yours is rooted or installed with a custom rom,,
i've sent my phone too,, because of a power issue,, as it wont turn on,, :crying:
before that,, ive installed cow bionic rom 2,,, then it shuts down itself,, and had no other means of powering it on,,,
so ive gambled myself in bringing it to them,,,
after a week,, they've said that its a board problem,, and needed to be replaced for free ,, since its under warranty,,, but had to be with them for at least a month,,,
after a month,, theyve returned it to me,,,,, and they even didnt detect that its rooted,, has cwm recovery,,, and installed with a custom rom,,,,

Hello all... Recently my girlfriend and I had purchased the Epic Touch 4g for her. She absolutely loves the phone but the signal strength isn't the best. I have had a Droid 1 for 2 years now and have flashed roms/kernels on a weekly basis for the past year and a half. Can anyone recommend a good starter Rom/Kernel? Is flashing a rom/kernel for the Epic Touch just as easy as flashing for the Droid? I've done some research and I am a bit overwelmed. It seems like clockworkmod recovery is being ran on the Epic Touch but the process for flashing is different? (maybe not, but like I said, I'm a tad overwelmed ).. Also, are there any tweaks after root that would improve signal strength? If anyone can help me out to get us started I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
-Mike
I recommend starburst rom v1.6.. it comes with LostKernel which is a good kernel to use.. for root though, there are dif. methods, i originally rooted mine with Zedomax Kernel through Odin.. fairly easy .. so get it rooted, and i'd go with starburst v1.6 which when flashing it through CWM once you have root, also flashes the lostkernel
I recommend Starburst. Runs sooo smooth and its the only ROM that I see being actively updated. Viper just got into the game so if you don't like touchwiz, you can flash his ROM too which uses another launcher but i would say equally great. Comes down to preference and what works best.
And to get root and clockwork, I followed bubbys
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287776
It seems to get root you have to use odin, but once thats done you can use clockwork to flash ROMs. If you get issues Odin is there for support.
Thanks! Too bad my girlfriend starts work in an hour
Take a look at this thread Id really recommend to check the links I have linked to save you some pain....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309078
So wait... after reading that thread it says that the bootloader keeps a record of everytime you flash with Odin? So if something happens to her phone and we need to take it in, they will know we rooted it?
A good reason to use starbursts rom is because its just way smoother some how and he stream lined the rom and did a bunch of tweaks that make noticably fast/smoother. That's the reason most are using it

Cool, thanks, I got worried for a little bit there... I mean, we got it rooted and everything just fine, but I failed to mention to my girlfriend that there might be a slight problem if we tried to take the phone in ... I figured that problem would get solved eventually but it's good to know I'm in the clear
yeah I wouldn't worry about it, chances are if you flash everything stock theres still a counter chances are they wont notice or pay it much attention. its possible but, I've had friends take their evo in with security off and everything else flashed stock and it was ok.
Bring her to me I will root her. Don't bring your cable I will use mine to plug in her smoothly in order to root through odin.

You can use a jig, it will get rid of the yellow triangle on bootscreen and bring the counter down to zero.
The jig costs $7 MAX, all you do is plug it into microusb while phone is on, and the phone reboots automatically, and everything is back to normal. Process takes about 30 seconds max, and you can use the jig multiple times, with how many ever samsung phones, it is NOT a one time use deal.

Ok so today i noticed my wifi doesnt work anymore, it wont turn on... so i was wondering if there was anyway to go back to full stock so that the clerk at Telus wont notice it was rooted and stuff? i still have my 30 days with them i believe so, i dont think he looks at the system for root and flash anyway, can someone let me know? thanks!
Edit: i have tried flashing other roms, it wont work
Flash Stock, then get a little app called Triangle Away by Chainfire. If you go to the Dev forum there are multipe stickies to help you out.
Did you happen to change kernels at any time. Ktoonsez . It changes the wifi driver. Just reflash that kernel and all will be fine.

Before you go too far in reverting to full stock, try reflashing your kernel (or flash a new one, doesn't matter). Same thing happened to me today and this fixed it.

yeah i reflashed, but it wasnt ktoonez one though, im not too sure on how kernel flashing works tho >_< like you need aosp kernel for cm9/10 or wtv and blahblah so i dont want to go too far in that before im sure the hardware isnt the problem you know
Long story short.... I wanted to change the recovery for another and didnt notice i was reading the galaxy nexus post and BAM!
Today I sent my phone to the Samsung repair center, they told it was on warranty so i packed and now its on it's way.
Has anybody here use their service ? what can you tell me abou it. Thanks in advance.
They may deny your warranty if they can tell it was modified. I had to previously send my gf's phone in for screen repair and I made sure to bring it back to stock / reset counter.
In their notes they mentioned "phone unmodified". Overall though they're pretty good about it, they included 2 day shipping to and from for free. Took about 5 days (4 days of shipping).
Thanks for your answer, the thing is there was no way to reset the counter or bring it back to stock, it died in a second. So, how much will they charge me in that case ?
You'll be fine. From what I understand, after its revived they can tell it was modified but they'll still send it back no charge. They still will treat it like a mgr's defect
Thanks, that will make my life a bit easier.

Again, it was like a blackout, i didn't know(and for some stupid reason i was fast reading) that flashing a wrong recovery could damage my phone so badly, so there was nothing to do.
My phone was like 2 weeks old and i bough it like new on ebay, from a nice seller, he never rooted or installed custom rom. Me, I only rooted and debloated but never installed custom rom, i was about to, but then it happened....
Question!
Does the binary counter, reads the number of times a rom was flashed ok ? but what if only rooted and didn't installed a Custom ROM ?

The counter reads if the phone was flashed with an unofficial rom (Samsung/att official will not set this counter off). billard412 is probably right, they'll most likely fix it and pass it off. Worst case scenario they void your warranty after the repair, though I've never seen/read it actually happening to anyone.

Hi, i have a Lg Nitro HD p930 AT&T with ICS.
I only have the phone for a few days i bought it used on mint condition on ebay.
The problem is that my phone turn off itself and the only way i can turn it on is taking off the battery and then put it back again, also i notice that the battery discharge really fast when i do that, for example if that happens with 90% of the battery when i do the process to turn the phone on, the battery is in 73%.
Another thing is that my phone sometimes gets extremely hot.
Obviously im not an expert but i think maybe its the battery because i only get 4-6 hours with simple use, just chat a little in whatsapp and view a few post on facebook.
I hope you can help me, thanks in advance.
Random reset is an issue on official ics
U can hold power button for 10sec or takeout the battery.
This phone battery usage is high and I think its because of the ips screen.
If you wanna check your battery ,turn off wifi and data and leave your phone for about 5 hours and check battery percentage it should not be more than 5%.but it depend on signal strength of your 3G/4G network
when I play high graphic games or browsing web for long time with high brightness phone gets hot in up sides and its normal
If your phone gets very hot it might be a problem
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, common issue with this phone and ICS and there is no easy fix. You will also sometimes see a red halo on the screen if it turns off by itself and gets hot.
Try to root it and install HoNo's Full Throttle. I heard it doesn't have that issue.
Afriend told me something similar happen to him a he download from de market the App Wake Lock, i download it and the phone hasnt reset since i install it but steal get hot when i use the GPS or chat in multiples APPs and the battery sucks even instaling juice defender.
i just finish rooting my phone a few minutes ago, i would like to instal cyanogen 10, im going to research how to cuz im new i never had install a ROM BUY maybe it work better
can someone send me the link or a tutorial of how to intall a ROM i had my NITRO rooted but i never install a ROM.
wich ROM YOU RECOMMEND i would like a rom that as stable as an official version and dont get my phone hot
thanks
Did you try doing a factory reset? (Hold volume down + power when turning the phone on)

Yes, you can unbrick if you're using official ICS; in fact, that's the only way you'd be able to install a custom ROM in the 1st place coming from official ICS. If you just want stock ICS you can use the LG Mobile Update software to restore your device to the stock LG firmware; but if you want a custom ROM you will need to follow one of the 3 unbrick guides located here in the general forum.

There is no conceivable way to brick an unmodified phone by doing a factory reset, but given the other symptoms that you are describing it might suggest that your phone has a hardware problem. Did you get a warranty with it? It has been my experience that people that have stability issues with this phone and it is 100% stock ICS points to one of two possibilities: software, that a factory reset would resolve or hardware. Good luck.

You did root your phone on stock ics but bootloader is locked , so you can't flash any rom via cwm and your phone is bricked.
The only way to unlock bootloader is following unbrick method instructions and back to android 2.3 which has unlocked boot loader and then install rom manager and cwm, then you can flash your favarite rom
If you wana flash stock ics ,use HoNo at&t official ics cmw flashable nor flash what ever you like

Hi all,
from a big smile to sad face... that is how it's been for the past 24 hours
I rooted the phone then went to back up the stock rom after that wiped data, cache, dalvik then went on trying to instal Omega 4.0 and suddenly i got this message my external sd is unreadable. rebooted the phone and noticed that it takes me directly to the downloader screen. i tried to fix the phone by bringing it back to it's stock condition but no luck. I used Odin and so far it's the only thing the phone responds to but no luck with fixing it... I am trying to download the official stock fw hint this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267895
but it stops and never finishes the whole amount of data... this seems the only way for me revive my phone back to life!
any suggestions what should I do now? it stopped showing the downloader screen now since I flashed the kernel drive for the S4 through Odin and now shows the black screen with the "Samsung Galaxy S4" writing.
by the way it keeps telling me that my phone isn't rooted but I did root it! am using twrp recovery.
I just got the phone from t-mobile 2 days ago and am debating on returning the phone back to them as the phone is still bootable to the recovery and that might revoke my warranty "i guess?"
Is it possible just to walk in to t-mobile store and swap the phone with another one since it didn't pass the 2 weeks returning window? I also got the phone insurance for it.
Please help, I sure need my phone back in working condition...
Omega 4 is for the octa core so thats why your phone bricked. If you can grt into download mode odin the stock files. If you can get into recovery try flashing a rom made for the phone. Dont freak out just read read read and youll be fine.

I am waiting for that stock fw download to finish hint it's on hotfile and going in turtle speed!
your bricked, im pretty sure flashing stock wont help you (hasnt from my past experience) but doesnt hurt to give it a try.
i dont think will just give you another one, even though its in the two week window, because its your fault and not the result of hardware failure. the age old "oh i updated and not it wont turn on" probably wont wort because there are little to none reports of that happening. plus (and this is me assuming, correct me if im wrong) but when in download mode it probably shows custom status, which auto voids any warranty. but once again, doesnt hurt to try.
Unfortunately, from my past experience, your SOL
If the phone turns on and has download and recovery you are not bricked....only soft brick and the odin file should work. Just be patient and wait for it to finish

am not really decided about that, does it really matter? all i care about is the blazing speed, low battery consumption and for sure the freedom of moving all the apps to the extSD ... I think all these new features are gimmick and it may take another generation for it to get the best of it. I picked S4 over the HTC one just because the 1080p feature and the funny thing is that I missed on there is no HDMI port on this phone! lol no biggie
tell me more about the touchwiz kernel, is it worth it? I don't see many CRs out there at the moment

Well right now I don't think CM is as stable compared to a TW ROM. FYI there are a lot or ROMS as of now. You have Wicked, Infamous, Darth Stalker, Deathstar. There is also faux and ktoonez kernal available for TW. As for the extsd, you will need to format the card to fat32 for the phone to read it properly.
