Upgrading from fe22 with stock kernel

Rather ask then break something, but running MJJz's blend 1.6 which is currnetly under FE22 but no cwm. I've been out of the flashing world since then (May) so a bit behind on the what/why. I'm looking at my windows VM with Odin which when I start shows
E4GT - FE22 Restore - Rooted. So can I get a 1-2 refresher.
I have the new MJ ROM which contains has the updated FF18, but can't install that (or any other ROM w/o a recovery).
So do I need a newer version of Odin, or do I simply run that, connect, and go? Time is getting more forgiving so I will have time to play a bit more often and keep up.
Tnx

I hope you got your flame suit on cause a flame war is about to begin.

Well since you have asked something in wrong section, let me just answer it..
Use mobile odin to flash EL26 Kernel with CWM and then flash ANY rom you would like from the recovery.
You could use Sfhub's auto root package to flash EL26 kernel with CWM and then flash ANY rom you would like.

Hey, I got nothing else to do while I read up on mobile odin (actually pretty cool) or just go straight odin .. so bring it on >

ok so if I have a problem do I keep it in this comical one or post a new one in the Q&A?
The problem, well since you asked, I used odin 1.85 and the stock el26 with CWM. Flashed, rebooted and the boot screen now has the model along with a nice yellow triangle. The good is that I was I did get into CWM (doing another nand backup) but I have some new ROM's to test, do I simply format and install? I will read up while I await the comical (yet deserved) comments or post in the q&a!
Regardless, you guys are great, so thanks!
** update **
Reading up it seems it's a known thing, but everything works fine, so I am reading here;
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/10/...e-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-without-usb-jig-video/
and will see if that does the trick, but the phone is backed up and new rom is flashing now.

I was hoping this was moved by now but anyways..
Thats why I posted the 2 methods. Auto root package and mobile odin. They don't trigger that triangle. You can use usb jig or triangle away app to get rid of that ugly triangle.

updating android version

Guys all of the Custom ROMS says 4.1.2 but my Android version is 4.0.4 if i flash any of those ROM will get problems?
will update the version automatically? or do i have to upgrade version before instlling a custom ROM with 4.1.2 version.
if so, how do i upgrade to 4.1.2 from 4.0.4?
Info
Model Number
SGH-T989
Android Version
4.0.4
Baseband Version
T989UVLH1
Kernel
3.0.8
Build Number
IMM76D.UVLH1

You can just use a custom recovery to flash a 4.1.2 ROM, make sure you full wipe (in recovery do factory reset and wipe /system)
Before you do this make sure you back up any data you want to keep.

I will have mercy on you, cause I asked this as a noob also. First, above all, wrong section. Please ask a mod to move to Q&A. Second, the android version is part of the ROM. ROMS are built in a paticuler android version. Upgrading android versions is a non issue.

You have a whole slew of options. You can search 4.1.2 in the thread titles in this very section. You can also grab CM10 for the Hercules from get.cm or Goo Manager by searching Hercules.

Cyanogenmod is always a good choice. I'm using all star liquid smooth ATM, its rock solid and has the best battery life of any ROM I've ever used on my t989. Jedi mind trick is pretty awesome too...

This going to be really fun for you the next month or so. Try every rom type so you know what's best and don't forget to backup the ones you like. Then after you find you a cool ROM (AOKP ) try messing with different kernels.

Most probably with a computer because any of his indicated phones can do that speed if their not LTE. Even our hercules can only do H+, 2 times the 3g speed in the USA T-Mo network, that is ~40Mb.

Says at the bottom he is on U of Chicago server. So it must have been a wifi connection and universities consistently have fantastic connections.
@OP
Look others have said this already but I'll reiterate. Dont worry about the version of the ROM. You can install a ROM with whatever android version and it will run so just choose one that you think will be stable and fast. The thing that you have to pay attention to is the google apps package you flash. Google apps are NOT included in almost all ROMs and have to be flashed separately, after the ROM is installed. Each version of android has a GApps package specifically for it and they will not work properly if they are mismatched. So it is very important that when you DL the GApps you pay attention to whether it is for 4.0.x or 4.1.x or 4.2

[KERNEL] Stock Touchwiz MDB - SetUID Restriction Removed

I am not responsible for anything you do with your device. Anything you or someone else flashes or modifies on your device or someone else's device is not my fault or responsibility to fix (or break).
What is this?
SGH-M919V_JB_Opensource.zip [MDB Version] compiled with the defconfig grabbed from May 7th OTA - M919UVUAMDL. You can grab the source like I did, from opensource.samsung.com. Defconfig was the only change, since CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_SETUID was already commented out from the source linked previously. Modules are also included from this kernel source, same link as previously as well.
Flash this if you want to have a non-SetUID restricted kernel compatible with the May 7th OTA - M919UVUAMDL and you don't want to flash the old boot.img which is done in my root thread.
Downloads
Mirror 1 - Dev-Host
Mirror 2 - Batakang
Source
Github
Instructions
Flash in the Custom Recovery of your choice.
If you aren't already rooted, flash a Root.zip such as SuperuSu by Chainfire or Superuser by Koush.
Reboot and enjoy.
Tested On
M919UVUAMDB
M919UVUAMDL
Be Advised
SDCard's using exFat will not work with this kernel.
Flasher updated, now will not remove all modules in system, but will just overwrite the ones made by Samsung Open Source. This way you don't need to flash exFat modules separately. You can still do so if you want.
The exFat kernel module is not open source and thus is not included in this. You can flash this to get exFat working if it is not..

You can already root the latest firmware by running the ORIGINAL kernel that came with the phone.

no. let your GE ROM boot first. then reboot to recovery and flash. wipe cache and dalvik cache.
it is compatible with any I9505 running a Google Play Edition build, including SGH-M919

at the moment i don't think anyone has an official build except for the GPE phones. there is a full dump but i don't think it has been made Odin flashable yet. when this happens, then yes, i believe you will be able to.

Last night I got 0.4%hr battery drain, 96.3% deep sleep, after 8 hours, with wifi on 24/7 and my VoIP app running (Sipdroid). This is on par with the best I've had to date. ROM is running quick and snappy so far with no problems at all.
More later.

Night #2 dropped to 0.3%hr drain with the same specs. Really nice kernel. No problems noted.

And night #3. Just for giggles I turned off my VoIP app and got 0.1%hr battery drain over 8 hours, and 99.4% deep sleep. Excellent.
Final post on this kernel.

I have not tried 4.3 a of yet, due to the current app restore/TB issues, etc. Still having fun with 4.2! Your rom is great.
Funny to think I could get about 33 days standby! LOL!:laugh:

thanks. i never use TB. when i flash a new ROM, i make sure i'm at home on wifi so everything restores from the market on its own. takes me a few min or so to set my phone back up.
4.3, imo, is more polished now. the lock ring is fixed/centered, less TW stuff, and the kernel seems to be performing better (stock vs stock) to name a few things i've noticed.

Sure! Thanks in advance!

[Q] Should I use custom ROM?

I just upgraded from galaxy s2 to an s3 and I absolutely love the new phone. So much faster than my old phone and the battery life is 10 times better.
I put more custom ROM's than I care to count on my old s2, but I'm thinking about keeping stock on this one, at least for now. At the moment I'm enjoying some of the different features that are new to me, such as S-beam and NFC. Will I lose these if I install new ROM? Do most of y'all run a custom ROM on your S3? I'm rooted and running Phil's recovery, which I love by the way.
Any tips for me?
Thanks in advance. :cyclops:

I ran a custom rom for a long long time. However, with the latest update I'm running stock rooted with xposed and wanam. Really seems to work for me. If you like a custom phone with the least amount of work, go with a rom. If you want to try and customize it (completely) yourself, leave it with a custom recovery and start installing....

I'm rooted with philz recovery rocking bilgerryans wicked x 4.4.2 custom ROM. And IMO I think its wonderful. I've had very few issues while running this ROM. If you decide to flash a custom ROM be sure to read up on what you're doing (not saying you don't know what you're doing) because if you're on the nd8 build there have been a lot of problems and bricked phones due to Knox. There are a lot of threads with great information on what to do and how to do it. Best of luck to you!!

As long as you stick with TouchWiz you'll keep those features.

Thanks

I'm running xposed but never used wanam. I think I'll go give it a try. Thanks for the reply!

Wanam itself isn't a miracle cure, but it seems to have a few of the special tweaks that I look for. Everything else I can find thru custom apks. I try to keep in mind that any rom that I load is going to have "bloat", meaning stuff (no matter how cool) that I will never use or use once and get bored with....

I know how easy it is to screw your phone up flashing ROMs so I've been doing a lot of reading on flashing the s3. It took me a while to figure out rootin it with the update but I got it finally. I've been learning toward trying Wicked because it's one I never used on my s2. I think I've tested almost everyone out there at one time or another. Wicked looks just that, wicked.

I love tweaking my phone. Wanam looks like what I'm looking for until I decide to try out a rom. I've got titanium backup for gettin rid of the bloat. Just never sure which system apps are totally safe to uninstall but I'm sure a quick google search can help. I may decide to try out Wicked or a touchwiz rom later but for now I'm gonna play around with tweaking it myself. Thanks for the feedback.

Keep in mind it's fairly old (but I still go back to it). Also, the great thing about TB is that I can freeze apps and continue running my phone. If I don't have any problems, I can (slowly) start to uninstall them...
Edit: oh, and have fun messing with that phone

Wicked X it is. I've been doing my research and everyone seems to love this rom. I'm hoping that I don't have any issues with MMS or data, but I'm sure there is a fix if I do run into that problem. I'm excited to try this one out!!!
Thanks for everyone's input. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
