Hi All, admitted newbie here. Sorry if this is misplaced, but I've searched and can't find the answer.
I've rooted my evo, dowloaded the all in one sprint lovers rom and installed it using rom manager. however, after install, i can find no signs of it being SL - no wifi tether app, no % battery indicator, no power control from pull-down window. from all outward appearances it is vanilla sense/froyo.
how do i verify exactly what installed? do i have to somehow seperately install/enable the SL features mentioned above?
help is appreciated..... thanks.
To check what you have just go to settings then at the bottom about phone, then software and look around it should say what rom you have

you don't flash it from rom manager.
name it to pc36img.zip EXACLTY and make sure it is on the root of the sdcard. save anything worth saving. then power off phone. then hold volume down and power, and you should see a white screen w/ skating droids. it'll ask if you want to updat.e hit folume up for yes. once it is done, it'll ask you if you want to reboot. also hit volume up for yes.
i'd reccomend you also try some roms like myns, mik's, koni's, and maybe some aosp cm7 action as well.
welcome to the root world.
any other quesitons, don't be afraid to ask.

Download Amon 2.3 for recovery you can also use this later to flash things and backups. Now place the sprint lovers rom in the root of sd card turn phone off.
Hold volume button down and hit the power button while holding down to get into bootloader it will then boot the pc36img.
Then when you get that all done remove it from your sd card and copy amon 2.3 pc36img over do the same thing. Then remove it from the sd card and bingo your set man. Easy as pie. Any more directions PM me.
First of all, thanks to those who have posted already - very much appreciated.
I think i found the problem (but not the solution yet) and it is very weird. After having problems getting sprint lovers loaded, I went ahead and tried cm7 using the version downloaded from rom manager. It installed and I've been using it a couple days. very nice.
However, I still wanted sprint lovers so I tried it again today. Downloaded the all in one fresh again to my mac so i was sure of the right file, moved it to my sd card root, verified it is there in finder, then did an install from sdcard using rom manager. it goes through the whole process and what do I get? CM7 again?!?
So... I think what was happening was that installing from sdcard in rom manager is resulting in the already existing rom being reinstalled. weird.
Further to this problem, if I manually boot into recovery and try to install from sdcard, I am able to see all the usual folders, etc. on the sdcard, but not the zip rom file. I can see the rom file when the phone is mounted to my mac and I can also see it when I use a file manager on the phone. However, in recovery, no dice. This is why I initially used rom manager to install as I wasn't seeing rom files when browsing in recovery.
Does anyone have a solution? I am totally confused as to why this is happening and its caused hours of confusion already. Is it a Mac file thing?? I kept installing Sprint Lovers and finding that there were no new features (about 3 times), which is why I originally made this posting.
Thanks in advance!

YOU CAN NOT USE ROM MANAGER TO INSTALL THE ALL IN ONE VERSION OF SPRINT LOVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The all in one version of sprint lovers must be installed from the boot loader not recovery. You copy sprint lovers PC36IMG.zip to the root of the sd card and enter the boot loader, then follow the instructions on the screen when it asks if you want to update.
If you insist on using ROM manager then you have to install the stand alone version of Sprint Lovers. This will require you to also install the updated radios unless you have already updated the radios.
PC36IMG.zip use bootloader, any other .zip is installed using recovery and rom manager uses recovery.

dude wtf.
srry but i told you how in my first post ^^^^^
sprintlovers is a ruu style flash, which is mostly unused. rom manager uses update.zips.
if you're going to ask a question, plz dont ignore a perfectly good answer.
i get where you might have gotten confused, because the rest of the people told you how to flash an update.zip rom, which won't work with sprintlovers. but you didn't even try mine, even though i gave you perfectly good instructions.
if you need help, dont be afraid to ask.
but don't ignore the answer.

Sorry dk, no disrespect, I just didn't understand what you were telling me exactly. Please keep in mind there are a lot of moving parts to this with the roms, kernals, radio updates, etc. and whats obvious to you may not be to someone who just started. I actually did follow your directions yesterday once it sank in and Cruise replied to make it crystal clear and all is well now. SL is installed and working perfectly.
I left thanks to you both...thank you!
One question: Is there a rom like sprint lovers, but is stripped down and crap free? I don't like having to go back and delete everything and not know what i might step on that affects the phone later. I really liked cm7 a lot for the couple days I used it, but with gps being flaky (i know it is fixable) and some random lags and weirdness I got on certain apps, I am not sure if it is solid enough. I use this phone daily as my main business phone for all incoming and outgoing calls, so it has to be solid.
Thanks again.
I suggest that you download and install the Titanium Backup app. Whatever rom you decide to flash, you can use the aforementioned app to "freeze" an app you don't want. If you later find that you do want it or need it, you can always "defrost" it with Titanium Backup. As for what is safe to remove, see the following list:

Thanks Doug - very helpful.
However, am still interested if there is a clean, crap-free rom where you do not have to go through and delete so many items. Anyone know of one?
That will depend on your definition of "crap-free". If crap free means the removal of all Sprint apps then yes, most custom sense roms have them removed and stored in a special folder on your SD card in case you decide to install one or more of them later. Some people see the Sense overlay as crap. If you do, too, then there are numerous AOSP roms available. Salvage-Mod and CyanogenMod are just two of the more popular ones. There is even a sense-removal script floating around. Keep in mind, however, that the devs initially create their roms to suit their own tastes. They then alter their work to satisfy fans of their work as best as they can. Furthermore, what you consider crap may be a necessity to the next person. Know what I mean? Anyway, I hope I was helpful. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day....

Are you certain the file isn't named PC36IMG.zip.zip? Remove the .zip portion and try again, just in case. Also, are you certain the file is suppose to be flashed from the bootloader and not from within recovery? If you are and removing the .zip from the filename didn't work, redownload the file.

Yes i.m sure it is named PC36IMG.ZIP and when bootloader serch for it (wrong image) and i did download few times but with the same results , what else could it be? just in case i'm going to download it one more time
Again ( no image or wrong image ) WTF is wrong? now i noticed that when bootloader is searching or loading the image first says ( loading PC36DIAG.ZIP ) and then ( no image or wrong image ) and after that loads the PC36IMG.ZIP but again ( no image or wrong image )
yea dude it's named wrong. windows hides file extensions sometimes so it may be named pc36img.zip.zip but you just don't know it. try removing .zip then try again.

Good call. That's why I just tell people to name it PC36IMG, since I already know its a .zip extension.

I am having the same issue.....keeps saying no image. I've made sure the file name is correct (only 1 extension) and it's sitting in the root of my sdcard. Any other ideas? Is the file case sensitive? Windows files usually aren't but I don't know what the bootloader is written in so not too sure. Please help as I've found the process up to this point to be pretty painless but didn't want something this small to hold me up.
Thanks a bunch!
Edit: I've also downloaded and tested the .zip several times (using WinRAR) and it seems ok. the file size is 225,430 KB.

try just removing the extenstion altogether then. just pc36img (no period either). that might work.
I'm trying to get my ROM all smoothed out. It a catch 22 system. I can load the sony xperia walkman and get it functioning properly, or I can install gapps. If I do one I can't do the other for some reason. So, I went with the walkman. Now I'm trying to figure out how to turn the gapps zip into a good apk file to load with android tuner from my sd card. Is that even possible? I was able to manually install a few of the apk's from the zip file, but 90% wouldn't install. I assume because I haven't figured out how to install the supporting files. How can I get the play store functioning, even in a barebones state? There has to be a way... this is Android!!! Lol As I stand now, I have the play store icon, but it only loads for a fraction of a second. No message of any kind. It just doesn't work. Any suggestions would be nice. I'm on the Bleu Mynt ROM if that helps you any.

You and that walkman app,hahahaha,your like me,"never give up",but anyway,open the zip file with the gapps inside and look at the folder structure,add the files to their respective folders on your rom,then you need to look at the updater script,which is in the META folder and see what needs to be symlinked and add the correct permissions for them to work correctly,you can also skip most of the bs,by just downloading what you need from the playstore,as far as gapps goes.Trial and error,you just have to keep playing with it until you get it right,it could be the rom,try a different rom also.

I moved all the files except for the lang_pico file because I noticed it was all languages besides english. I left it out. Is this okay? Everything is in the proper place but the update-binary and updater script. It's encoded and I do not know the name of the code to research. Can you tell me what language it is, and if 7-7ip or Notepad++ needs a plug-in to read/write or otherwise edit the script? What do I need to research here?
EDIT-----> I'm looking for something called Update.zip Manager 3.0. Is this a tool that will help me?

SOLUTION FOUND, much thanks to @DocHoliday77
See here for "bootanimation", "bootsamsung", and "bootsamsungloop" files or bottom of this post.
I unziped and I copied "bootanimation" to /system/bin and changed the permissions, I only needed the "bootanimation" file, I had to change permissions to rwe-re-re, other combinations might work/be better. If someone needs to use the other two files, they go in /system/media
Again, credit to @DocHoliday77 for the files!
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Hey everyone,
So, I tried changing my boot animation, and now I don't have any (it's just a black screen with the original sound)
(I'm on Candian Telus, with 4.4.2)
Basically what I'm asking/looking for is someone to attach a couple files off there phone so I can replace the ones that were altered through this tutorial, and hopefully get a boot animation back.
I'm not 100% sure if I need all of these, or if I may need more, but I have a pretty good idea of what was likely altered:
/system/bin/bootanimation (the extension-less file, this is one that I'm positive that got altered)
/system/bin/samsungani (possibly just and additon fr tutorial, unsure if needed. Information on if others have it would be awesome)
Any information on my situation would be amazing!
Have you tried factory reset (you'll lose data this way)?
Can you flash your ROM again (data will be wiped though)?

No, I haven't tried either. I'm trying to avoid losing any data, if possible.
Also, I'm not sure if it will fix the problem since the files have been altered directly. (I'm not sure if it will just reset with the file it has now or not)
Any thoughts?
Factory resetting won't help since boot animation is on /system.
If you can't find them here you can always copy them from a stock rom.
Make sure the binary file is from the same build as your current rom. It might not matter, but it just might.

Yeah, I'm really hoping someone is nice enough to copy and paste their bootanimation file in here, but I doubt it'll happen...
Any tips/ideas on how to go about copying from a stock rom? (I'm new to a lot of this stuff, so I'm unsure of how to go about this)
you can search on google and download boot animations.
but like doc said , ' make sure is from same build cause it might just matter. i DL cm 10.1 from internet and works great .
just a thought.
err on the side of kindness
@mrrocketdog
It's not so much a boot animation itself that I'm having trouble with, but the actual system file called "bootanimation".
I believe when I tried to install a custom animation I/the files from a tutorial I was using altered it, and now it doesn't work whatsoever.
If you know of any boot animation tutorials/files that could fix this though that would be sick!
Either way thanks for the input!
You can try these if you like. I'm running Likewise rom right now, but they should work fine for you.

There should be a thread(s) in the Themes and Apps section. I wouldn't use any not confirmed or made for the S3 though. And I wouldn't mess with that binary file either. (Unless specifically told to do so in one of our threads.) Any we have here should work fine just using the actual animation files.
Some threads may also have a return to stock zip file you can flash in recovery.

Are you referring to the one you linked to? To be perfectly honest I wouldn't try it. It was for the HTC One, right? I just don't know enough about HTC devices. It might be safe to use the animation, but it may just not work. (I doubt there'd be much danger of a hard brick though, but better safe....)

yup, thats the one. i forget sometimes : READ READ READ. thanks for double checking behind me. will be more careful in future. dont want to cause xtra problems !!!!!!
err on the side of kindness
No problem. It could be perfectly ok to use, but since I don't know, I consider it a higher risk is all. Another thing to consider is if it's dpi is different the images probably wouldn't display correctly.

@DocHoliday77
So after a while of researching I was thinking of downloading CyanogenMod, and the using that to do boot animation stuff, thoughts?
As long as it's from the S3 versions of cm, I believe it would be safe to try. Probably the worst that might occur would be no animation, like you already experienced. I don't use CM though, and don't really mess with the boot animation much to begin with, so it is possible it wouldn't work as expected, I'm just not sure on that. But it should be simple enough to get back to the stock animation with the files I posted before.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I guess that's really the worse that could happen, I've made a backup of my stock ROM so I should be able to go back if needed. Again, thanks for all the help!

You might 1st have to unzip the rom and go to the updater-script and delete the 1st part where it checks the recoveries build to see if your device is the d2spr or the d2lte and so on. Then repack the rom back into a zip file the flash it in recovery as you normally would. Then once the Rom boots you won't have a baseband or service or anything but I will tell you why and how to fix this. The d2spr's modem-image file are labeled different from our modem! At the bottom of this I will show you the list of each modems links so you can see which 1s are different and what you have to delete and resymlink to get the Rom to reconize your baseband and get your service working! But using a file manager with root access navigate to the files in "/system/etc/firmware/ " and delete the wrongly symlinked modem-images! Once you have done that navigate to "/firmware-mdm/images/" folder and start symlinking the correct files to "/system/etc/firmware/" folder. After this you might want to modify the buid.prop and change all parts that say d2spr to d2lterefreshspr but only if you want. Once you have done this reboot to recovery and flash the Lte apn fix zip then reboot. Now everything should work with service and everything! I have tried this on the latest SlimLP 5.1.1. Beta and A..I.C.P. Lollipop and a few other Lollipop Roms for the d2spr. If you would like to download some of the Roms I have modified the updater-scripts so they will flash on our device and the APN zip I flash with a flashable build.prop I have already modified just send me a message and I will send you a link to my drive account. I'm trying to create a zip we can flash in recovery that will delete the wrong symilinked files and symlink the correct files to help save us the trouble of this process and for people that don't know how to create a symlink file! But as I stated I'm not a developer so I might be able to but if any developers that could help us by creating 1 for us please please feel free to do so and let us know! But take a look at the 2 lists of symlinked files and delete the necessary files and create the new symlinks that our device needs! If the files show the correct symlinks on 1st boot but you still don't have service click on the symlinks and view its details and you will see it'ssymlinked to the wrong files. Just delete all symlinks and create the correct new 1s.

symlink("/firmware-mdm/image/dsps.b00", "/system/etc/firmware/dsps.b00");

For anyone unsure about creating the symlinks I have a very simple zip file to flash in recovery to delete the bad symlinks and make the right 1s! I have tested on SlimLP, A.I.C.P., Exodusand Pac-Man d2spr Roms. It will not mess up anything on your S3! It only does as stated. If you wanna check it its all in the script-updater. Just flash this after flashing a d2spr Lollipop rom and if you are also confused on modifying the script-updater for the rom so it will flash on the d2lterefreshspr then just flash the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery from TWRP's website and you wont have to worry about changing it!

Hey man this is great! This opens up a whole new world of wonders for this device. You have any idea how I can fix having to manually select apn after each reboot?

well, come to find out flashing octos, made for triband,,,,who knew, not me until today, anyway, its very easy. haha probably easier than ANYTHING i've done up to this point. i dont remember how much i've told you but the triband that i was fighting with so much may have had a problem from the very beginning. getting into recovery continually got harder and harder until it just wouldn't go. i tried about 8 times and it completely died. i mean its dead.im sad for that. that drops me to one sph-l710 with a crumpled usb and so i have to charge it wirelessly which is cool but its fragile. so ive got another refurb triband which im about to flash. WHY? ill be damned if i know why. this phone is rooted and cleaned out and runs beautifully. but, i want more. i guess or im just stupid which by reading this i may be. ill let you know.

tonight if your not busy with other people ill have some questions for you. im looking forward to it. i loaded the rom, gapps and now theupdate has been in a holding cycle for half an hour. it vibrates a little every so often. so i guess ill let it go. i want in so i can finish setting it up. ive got a lot of work to do. i know you must.
Will this zip work for KK roms too? Or is it only Lollipop? I'm willing to test it out but I just want to be sure that I won't brick my S3 since I can't afford a new phone right now.

Yes it should work and no flashing it wont brick ur device at all! Nothing is flashed or installed it only deletes the wrong symlinks and creates the correct ones!

its about time you showed up again. i thought like these other senior members that once you dealt with the senior citizen with debatable alzheimer's you had fled the country also. hehe man i don't know. on my other triband i had no music at well, no sound at all, none. and i had no cell service. now everything works except the bluetooth on the music. as soon as i boot it up the music locks up. its weird. i was just prepping my phone to go back to stock. i think these tribands are better stock with the bloatware removed and not too much of that. ya, i spend alot of time with my file manager. have you tried total commander? its great. you get it from gizmos freeware. im just getting to know it but i have it on the computer and its pretty good.

I just flashed the final d2lte CM11 snapshot and your zip file, and it worked! After flashing everything the ROM runs super fast and runs wonderfully! So far as I can tell everything works perfectly. Camera, SMS and MMS, GPS, Mobile Data, and Screen Rotation all work perfectly. My steps for flashing were:
Modify Updater-scripts file to remove device checking
Wipe system, dalvik and cache, and data.
Flash CM11 snapshot
Boot to system
Reboot into recovery and flash Gapps and APN fix (I'm on virgin mobile)

I never liked CM myself! I prefer Slim or S.O.K.P. Roms more then any other! You can use alot of the non triband roms kernels and tweaks but just not the bootloaders or modems!

guess what? my second triband died last night. just running, fine. so, went to turn it on and it wouldn't come back on. is there any kind of a reset for the samsungs thAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT? the exact same thing happened with the other triband i had. so i take the phone back to the store and they give me another triband, they said. so i get it home and looked at it and immediately knew that it wasn't a triband. it was the original sph-l710 that i bought", to begin with. these guys dont know what they are selling. id like to complain but to who? this is truly a beautiful phone wit the brushed blue metal look and its one of the "grade A" refurbished phone so i guess maybe i have faith that this one will work.however im a little short on faith right now.
Wow! Good luck man. Honestly, if I had to choose I'd want the original one over the tri-band.

ill tell you what, when it ran it ran very well. so what i want to know is tell me what you would do with this phone rom wise and maybe point me where to go get it. also i need all the stock files in case i have to flash this. this phone is very easy to fix. way easier than the triband but those had the same problem and i didn't know it until they up and died. so, if you have a minute. i've got all rooted. i've got selinux fixed and so, ....what is the latest liquid out there? by the way i watch the tide religiously. have for years. i also just noticed your logo. are you part of octos? ah, i think i saw your name. so i had octos on my triband when it died but i didnt have bluetooth on music. it worked on phone. tell me how to set up octos. man i liked it but i have to have that bluetooth music. how do i fix that?
rom flashing

For anyone unsure about creating the symlinks I have a very simple zip file to flash in recovery to delete the bad symlinks and make the right 1s! I have tested on SlimLP, A.I.C.P., Exodusand Pac-Man d2spr Roms. It will not mess up anything on your S3! It only does as stated. If you wanna check it its all in the script-updater. Just flash this after flashing a d2spr Lollipop rom and if you are also confused on modifying the script-updater for the rom so it will flash on the d2lterefreshspr then just flash the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery from TWRP's website and you wont have to worry about changing it!

Since you're not on a triband just flash the d2spr build, not the d2refresh build. You can run xposed on our ROM if you wish. We always recommend a clean flash, especially if coming from stock or any other ROM. Even if its Oct-L to Oct-M. ??
I figure others would enjoy this. Please make a backup with TWRP before flashing (I experience no issues but you never know)
This replaces the Sprint Startup/Shutdown animations with Samsung's. (Including sounds)
If this is the wrong section please move it. I was going to post in Android Development but was unsure. Thanks!
Is there anyway to make custom intro animations or are we stuck with official samsung/sprint ones? Either way thank you!
Worked great for me, thanks!

Scroll down you should see 2 posts with some attachments.
Replace the files in system (the zip i uploaded) folder and flash them. (I haven't tested them but they should work. Make a backup just in case).

We were all noobs once.
First off. I am not sure that these still work. Be careful and make a backup in TWRP. See https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ck-up-restore-your-android-with-twrp-0175300/ for a guide.
Then plug your phone into your computer. You should be able to use Windows Explorer (or whatever you have) to explore your phone. You will see a whole bunch of file folders. Make a new one with a name that you can remember. I use "ROM" for mine, but you could call yours "Flash" or "Michael." Whatever you like. Put the zip file there.
Reboot to Recovery, which is TWRP. Select install and then navigate to the directory that you created, where you put the zip. Select it and flash.
You sir are awesome and a gentleman for responding, I watched some stupid video online where the guy had me extract the contrents manually change permissions, messed everything up. I am sort of Post Noob but still Noob with stupid questions like how to flash your zip, but not noob enough to not make recoveries, which i did. The only lingering issue I have is because I completely DeSprinted My Device to the point where nothing Sprint is Left anymore to send this phone to my cousin overseas, that the initial boot takes slightly longer. But it boots fine, the biggest bastard challenge was the sprint visual voicemail which i titanium froze and finally allowed me to enter a number....pheww. The dreaded sprint Boot Screen was all that was left and you sir helped me. Thank you very much. Thank you so so much. (I Swear Sprint is the Mobile Bloat Cancer of Modding)
