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"

[Q] Not accepting ZVC update killing data?

So the ZVC update was just rolled out to me, but since I'm rooted, I don't want to update yet. Unfortunately, ever since I declined to update, I haven't been receiving data. Just basic calling and texting coverage. Is this caused by me declining the update or something else. I'm not sure what else could be doing it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Well... No, but unroot and relock is easy and you don't need a computer to re root after the update. Use framaroot

If you still don't want to update, then try restoring efs partitions only in twrp and see if that fixes data. Sometimes it helps

How exactly do I relock the phone? I soft bricked over the summer trying to install CM10.2 and had to reinstall stock rom using LGNPST. Is it relocked or do I need to do that still?

If you used freegee to unlock you can use that to 'restore with backups'. If you lost the freegee folder then you will need to use the computer but if it's still there you're good. Might not even need to relock but I left it unlocked and rooted and the update didn't work for me, whereas I had my wife relock her bootloader and unroot inside the Supersu app, and she got it applied without a hitch

Anyway, if you have the backups in the freegee folder then you don't need a computer. If you deleted them then you're going to need a computer. Can try unrooting and leaving twrp in and bootloader unlocked but I told you how it went for me

Galaxy s4 tmobile remove root and flash to stock on a Mac help

Can someone tell me how to revert back to stock completely on a tmobile galaxy s4 on a Mac. I can't seem to find a guide or anything about this. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated thanks.

http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/06/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s4-without.html?m=1
Try that way. I had some issues however because you can't then triangle away. I'm thinking of you mobile odin the first firmware our phone had than you could use the motochopper method to root again. Then triangle away. Then clean up root using superuser. Just a theory. Another way would be to run windows on your Mac. Let new know if flashing first firmware via mobile Odin than motochopper root than triangle away and unroot works. I'll go grab some helpful links

Read that too.
Also the reason you need the old firmware is because motochopper root method won't work on MDL firmware. But to go back to official you need to Odin back to stock. Root without installing custom recovery. Triangle away. Unroot through superuser. Only way I can think to do that on a Mac is mobile Odin pre MDL firmware. Goodluck

Let me know of that helps you. I'm in the same boat but I was just going to run a virtual machine and run windows on my Mac. You can Google how to do that as well than just use desktop Odin.

[Q] Can you Upgrade to 4.4 if your rooted with no recovery?

My girlfriend has an AT&T Note 2 running 4.1.2 that is rooted, but with no custom recovery.
Is there a way to get the update.zip put it on the root of the SD card and upgrade through the stock bootloader?
She doesn't want to start from scratch, just upgrade. Doesn't really matter if she loses root or not.

We're not getting the OTA update, I assume because it's rooted.

You can unroot it then do the update

What comes up when you hold volume up home and power? Cuz if you have don't have the stock recovery you won't get it

If you used CF auto root to gain the original root...then you have a modified stock recovery and OTA will fail...
You would need to push a stock image via Odin to restore the device to stock I believe...g

if i got unlock bootloader and i got update from asus, should i downloaded it?

i understood that if i unlock my bootloader i cant get update from asus, but i checked it now and i got update.
can i download this update or should i download from the internet because it will lock my bootloader?

Unlocking the bootloader does not affect updating, just need to have stock recovery and no root to be safe

Well then you'll have to flash stock recovery and unfreeze all the system apps so it passes the check. Now what I did, since I couldn't find the 97 recovery was flash the 90 recovery and then applied the 97 ota through sd_update, then I applied the 139 update,
