Develop Bugs

New to the S3 seems different than the S2

Guys some help. I been searching around the proper filer to root this phone but some of the links are old and not working.
Somebody need to get all of these together and make it a sticky on the development section.
I guess to root this is like rooting my s2. Flash recovery with odin and then flash the SU. But cant find it.
I want the latest recovery for odin the latest su and I want the stock ICS and JB roms with odin in case I do something bad and I need to flash that to unroot. and get it stock.
Can somebody point me out this. And please somebody make those files sticky so future members like me and old member would have everything handy and easy to find.
another thing. Do we flash radios here? On my s2 we could flash any kind of tmobile radios for better performance and data. Witch are the radios?
Another thing that I noticed when this phone came out is the people were loosing the IMEI number on their device how was that posible and what they do so I wont go through it

go into the dev section
The files you want are stickied already
Yes you can flash radios
Also, in the dev section

As far as I know backing up your efs does not preserve your imei you must set it in modem mode and write it to an app on your desktop. Easy as pie to do though and it's on the forum with a writeup

Thank you for your information. I have found several ways to root. 1 with odin like I used to do with the s2. and 2 with a odin stock rom and no tripping flash counter. Is that still an issue. Is there a way to reset the counter? I used to go back to stock all stock on my s2 and root several times before and that was never an issue! First time I see this about flash counter!.

Yeah tripping the flash counter is still an issue. basically it just keeps you from using all share an to watch movies from the media hub.
What I did when I fist got the phone was Odin root66 then downloaded goo and installed twrp via the app "not cwm"

That strange screen is just like the normal download mode screen.
All it means is that the previous odin flash did not fully complete.
All you need to do is to make sure you have the proper stock odin
flash TAR / MD5 file and start the odin flash again.
That weird screen usually comes up when we try flashing a non compatible stock
odin flash rom so just be sure that what you flash is either the official stock rom or
a rom which is specifically designed for your specific phone's model.
Good luck!

So i tried flashing the stock .tar file through odin and im still at the black screen with the triangle telling me that its software not recognized by samsung
im getting "system software not authorized by samsung has been found on your phone" on my screen all the time now...

well thats the thing, i tried to odin to stock, and it doent seem to change it always goes back to odin mode or sits on the splash screen

Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. You have to do that when Odining back to stock frequently or it gets stuck booting up.

i was on 4.3, trying to get data to work, so i followed the post on the rom's thread, then I ended up messing it up
so basically, at this point, no recovery working, just odin mode and download mode, and gets stuck at splash screen

It sounds like you tried to downgrade to 4.2 from 4.3 accidentally.

a 4.3 rom

Try going into download mode. Then press down and have it reboot and hold volume up and power till there are blue words at the top over the Samsung (then release) and flash any ROM you have on your SD card from recovery.

well im downloading the firmware you showed me, itll take some time, but when i saw the blue words previously, it showed, then disappeared and went into "odin mode"

I know what you mean but I think you can still get into recovery. You just have to release volume up + power as soon as you see the blue words. For me I can only get it, at the moment, after going into download mode first.

[Q] Wi Fi will not turn on

I have a sprint Samsung galaxy note 2. I was running cm 11 4.4.2 for a long time. I recently tried to flash some new 4.3 mk4 rims like venom ice and smoothest note2 note 3 rom but every time i do i loose Wi Fi. I have tried the Wi Fi fix with Oden but it never sees the file on my computer. When when i click on pda and goto the folder i saved it to it doesn't show it i am using Odin 3 v1.85 i have tried older ones and they will download but Wi Fi still won't come on. If anybody can help me out maybe a step by step process or help find the right band base for mk4 it would be very helpful .
thanks

Make sure that the file is not zipped (i think it is). Then it will flash properly in odin.

That's exactly what the problem is. I remember that you DO have to unzip the wifi fix file THEN it can be flashed within ODIN on your PC.

[Q] I think I bricked my Note?

Ok I have a SGH-i317 on att and my problem is this. So I went to update my phone through the OTA from att and had to get the 4.3 bootloader for the DN3 rom I installed. Messed up a couple files and had to downgrade back to 4.1.2 ( this is where things went to hell) it booted fine on stock 4.1.2 until I let it do another OTA then the phone froze and will now only let me enter download mode. I checked probably 10 threads pertaining to my problem like this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891 and I can't get it off the initial start up screen. I can still enter download mode but thats it. I've tried flashing the stock 4.3 through Odin and a custom recovery from the link above I even tried to flash a pit file and a bootloader file but the bootloader file comes back in error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
