[Q] PA_3.99 bootloop - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Again fruitless search results when browsing for a solution. So Im posting, PA_3.99 has been refusing to work right after 1st reboot after intitial flash reboot.
It started out twrp was having partition encryption issues, after reverting to PA's kernel i no longer encountered that. But the bootloop that issue caused (or atleast I thought) still continued.
Heres exactly what happens: Full format x2, flash PA, flash PA_Gapps, wipe, reboot (goes normally, go through setup, can use phone normally), second reboot (for whatever reason), bootloop at yellow sub samsung splash screen( not the PA glowing bean.
Idk if this has to do with TWRP or PA's kernel but those are the only things I can think of with my limited knowledge of android.
This will be the 8th time Ive had to format, flash, setup, reboot, and repeat. I love the PA rom and dont want to have to go to stock again just for a working phone.
pls&thx

if your having this problem like i was you wont find a fix here no one seems to know the answer. ive searched and to no avail. 4.3 wont work on your phone no matter what rom you try. ive tried them all its not the newer phone problem because it reads my card with no problem. only happens on 4.3 roms. if you find a solution please post it or pm me i would love to use 4.3. also a guy had same thing on a note or s4 cant remember. we arent the only ones lol. good luck my friend

Mos definitely. Likewise. What did you read? I can't find anything defining the issue on any technical level. Everyone on here seems too good to answer any questions. ive read more smart ass remarks relating to questions asks then actual answer.
This forum just frustrates the **** out me. I'll pm my email. Probably won't be on here too much after this.
Goodluck

Well after fruitless and frustrating attempts to search/ask for a solution I simply tried flashing clockwork Mod through ROM manager on the successful boot. I've had 3 successful boots to PA 3.99.
I really hope I'm not the first to figure this out. No one mentioned this in paranoid androids thread or team win.

Help! Unable to flash GPS?

Noob here. Would post in the relevant thread, but I'm unable to. So here are the details:
I recently updated my phone with [ROM] [Team D.I.R.T] [Jelly Bean] UNOFFICIAL Codename Android 3.3.1 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850888
While I was experimenting with the rom, I discovered that my GPS was not working. After a quick search I found that other people were having the same problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30677489&postcount=46) and seemed to work for others successfully.
I downloaded the Qualcomm Vision GPS Driver v1.1 and flashed it. It says the flash loaded successfully but GPS still doesn't seem to work.
At this point I'm at a loss because the fix seems to work for others but not for me and I feel like I'm overlooking something simple. Anyone have any ideas?
Wrong section please post in q and a next time, but to answer your question, look here

Thanks. I actually saw that post and was already half way thru reloading my stock rom by the time you posted. GPS worked on stock but unfortunately after following all the steps it didn't work on the custom rom. Really baffled on what I'm doing wrong. Going to give it another go. If I run into other issues I'll make sure to post in the proper area.

Not trying to discourage you, but sometimes things just aren't going to work between a rom you're using and your phone. The roms will play different with your phone compared to someone else's even tho they might be the same model.
There are some ics gps fixes that are flash able here on xda. Run a search and flash, it could work. If you can find them PM me your email. I think I still have one saved on my computer. Goodluck.
Thanks for the offer, but I was finally able to get GPS working late last night. No idea what I did differently, but the third time was the charm.

[Q] Having problem flashing most ROMs

Hi all
I have just received my LTE Galaxy Note 2 [GT-N7105]. Im fairly experienced at flashing having flashed my previous phone and several tablets many times over.
Ive tried flashing the Note 2 with Revolution HD and with Omega and a few random Roms that I cant remember and the process always crashes while setting the Aroma installer options. This happens in different places every time. On one occasion I did manage to get Omega installed after trying over and over. Unfortunately the s Pen doesnt work at all. When I take it out of the holster its recognized but doesnt work at all. I have had absolutely no joy with Revolution. I tried flashing it about 20 ish times without any success each time it crashed at some point during the options. This has also happened on 2 other random ROM again all using Aroma installer.
The Roms I did successfully install Omega and Crash both had the S-Pen not working. I have no idea what could be causing these issues. Can anyone give me any pointers.
I could not ask any questions in the specific Rom threads as my access seems to be disabled, hence why Im posting here.
Note: Even though Omega did install successfully once it will now not re-install.
I dunno, whenever I ask a question on pretty much any forum I never get a reply and always end up having to help myself. Never mind I will answer myself in case others may have the same problem.
The Aroma flashing issue was caused by a version of clockwork mod recovery that was installed by the Note 2 toolkit. Instead I manually flashed a different version of CWM recovery and all roms flash just fine now. I now have CWM Recovery v6.0.1.4. I have no Idea why the Note 2 toolkit one doesnt work I am not trying to imply that this is any fault of the developer.
The other thing I learnt is that Roms made for GT-N7100 are not compatible with the GT-N7105. All ROMs that I tried while they may well work in all other ways but you loose the S-Pen functionality. You may also loose other functionality too.
hope that is helpful to someone.
Additionally I also hope that that more ROMs come out for the N7005 as all the carriers in the UK seem to be selling that one.
#corrected model number of phone it should have said NT7105 instead of NT7005
Wow.. u are very lucky that u didnt brick your phone.
Anyway the phone is still relatively new. More development will start once more ppl decide to buy this phone.. look at the development at S3. It kinda shows how popular the phone is. Hopefully our time will come soon.
Only thing is miss is the mods from jkay though

I had the same issue with newer CWM recoveries (6.0.2.7 and above). Reverted to ChengLu's CWM 6.0.1.5 and the Aroma install successfully completed. I don't believe other recoveries like TWRP have this issue.

[Q] SPH-L710 C-Spire SoftBrick Help?

Hello new to the forums. I have been rattled once again by the s3. Finally a problem I haven't really found too many solutions to and plus don't want to increase my chance of completely destroying my phone. Now. I have a Virgin Mobile phone in the US. Was on 4.1.2 but to flash to cricket I was trying to downgrade down to 4.0.4 from JB to ICS. Pretty much during this process not doing my homework I used odin and put the phone in download mode and figured oh Sprints rom should work since SPH-L710 is the same model and completely being wrong. I have been searching around google because I am soft bricked. Here is my assumption of soft brick. When Odin finishes the screen goes red stating the recovery files cannot be found and it wont read my sd card. Still able to go to download mode but not reboot mode. Hence, Soft Brick. Been trying to get out and recently took off a sticker seeing C-Spire. Now I remember seeing this while I was reading my XDA forums so I figured why not. Found some youtube videos googled and fond J7 for C-Spire. So close, but the link didn't exist or something. So... My conclusion finally made an account and finally asking for help the correct way. Please provide links and comments to help me out here would love this s3 back on track. Hope I followed the rules. I did honestly search the forums one had c-spire, but link was dead. My luck man. Thanks in advance.
Wanted to also add. Maybe with this I wanted to for a while, but never had the clear instructions on this nor want to repeat the process of screwing up my phone AGAIN after fixing it. Any good ROMs for the s3 C-Spire SPH-L710? For Example, Would love to use that multi-window with anything and I tried pacman not loving the whole ics not using the home button preferably JB I think which is stock whatever is stock. I loved the XMT launcher and the whole PIE thing. Just let me know guys. Ahead Apologies for the noob questions if they are.
this help http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=55
you should beable to flash that. then just let the phone update.
Still trying it out at the moment just downloading it, but if it does fix this and so on whats some good roms for the C-Spire or im presuming this does not ever fall in the catergory of sprint but cspire yes?

I don't have the c-spire, but once you flash the stock rom from the earlier post, you should be able to root and set yourself up with XMT and pie controls on the stock rom. They are stand alones and you can add them yourself, without looking for a custom rom for it.

Did not work first two times said it failed using odin 3.07 and that site you led me to. it says product mode SPH-L710. and has secure check fail sb11. Please help this is getting very frustrating.

[Q] Phone turns on automagically when plugged in to charger?!

Hello,
I've been having a problem with my SGH-T989, that's been bothersome. At first I thought it was hunted but it has been turning on instantly when connecting it to a wall charger or USB cable.
I first spotted this problem when flashing SlimKat rom, but soon after that I changed to Jedi Mind Tricks JB8 and the same thing keeps happening. I'm probably guessing it's because I formatted the internal storage before flashing? Maybe I have to change the kernel?
Things I've tried:
- Turned off battery saver option
- Changed roms
- Tried both USB and wall charger
- Connected it while turned off and also while on and then turned off
- Exorcism?
Please help!
If anybody has the solution to this problem, I would appreciate it if you'd share it!
What recovery are you using? I might be wrong or it may be another device i own but i think it's something to do with recovery version....
just to be sure, is the phone off and then when plugging in the charger the phone boots on instead of a battery alert showing that your receiving charge?

I'm using the latest CWM 6.0.4.3, and yeah it boots instead of showing the battery progress.
im searching but not getting results....i dont wanna say try teamwin recovery but im not expierencing that on 2.6.1....iif my memory right there wasnt a fix but for some reason i think im confusing the bug with my dell streak7
i know it was a clockwork mod version with this bug
i doubt wiping internal storage would cause this, i think boot files are on where your recovery is saved to the device....but i am atleast halfway noob ao i maybe mistaken
when i get to a pc im sure ill find a result....

Help!
what i found which isnt much but try powering down phone first and after power down then plug cable in
edit nvm seen your list lol
.....seems to be intermittant for others and sometimes corrects itself without solution....lots of posts about it but not one single reply of a solution....i searched multiple terms and 10 pages deep to no avail.....
did u manually flash ur recovery or did you use rom manager etc??
maybe reflash your recovery or change to teamwin?
one trend was that it wasn't rom related but in 2011 2012 the trend was asop roms from what i read
have you tried teamwin recovery? Idk thats what i used since i bought my s2 and have not had any issues....
i test booted both ways and had the ability to charge will off....My kids s2's stock unrooted(been slacking) charge also...
2.6.1 is the version I have used, i know there was issues with 2.6.3 but in the dev section i believe it was updated and less problems for some
try using twrp maybe its your recovery

Sorry, I came back home and didn't have any internet. But these past few weeks as I was charging my phone it sometimes did stay turned off. I only noticed this when connecting the phone to my car charger. It isn't as functional as I'd like it but it'll work. Maybe if someday I decide to change ROMs I'll try out TWRP and try posting if it worked on this post (just in case somebody with the same problem comes across this post).
Thanks to everybody!

managed to make root work but a problem appeared:unable to use samsung account,unable to use any other type of lock screen type except swipe,andafter i instaled youtube vanced using magisk repozitory the phone entered again in the lock screen loop.i think its something about the kernel i used(elementalX 2.08) or the no verity version using 1.0.
I will look trough the forum for other versions and i will try to flash them.i will also try to flash a new rom,maybe thats the problem.

The ROM is probably the problem for you. Because now knox is tripped for you many samsung and other services dont work anymore for you on pure vanilla stock. If you like oneUI maybe try out a few roms, they are better than stock. There is also a growing AOSP ROM community, there is a group on telegram you should check out.

WOW!Thats bad.Have you tried the power+power down combo for shutting it down?a thing i can suggest better is to let it drain completly,and try to boot it in twrp,do a wipe and then try again.

none of the issues detailed in this thread make any sense. If a g965f is bootlooping after an attempt at rooting it, whatever was done in that attempt obviously failed and nothing in this thread really explains why, which mostly seems to be due to the lack of info from the OP and who all has participated thus far. We have no idea what baseband the OP is on, what version of TWRP they used, what version of Odin. We are lucky to know its a 965f so far...

a great deal of the devs that make the android community great all hang out here and share their contributions first on here, but you will find that certain phones on this site get far more attention than others, and the S9 area is a sad sad shell of what xda used to be. The reason im replying to your post at all is because xda is not the only place one can go to get good info on phones, but it is a reasonable place to put your trust if youre unfamiliar with the myriad of other sites specifically devoted to android and the users that avoid XDA for one reason or another. Try talking about any pay services on here or anything to do with "software of the illegitimate variety"
