So basically Sprint gave me this ticket a week ago to get my phone diagnosed and then replaced. However, the LOS problem only occurs when i root. I have the USB Jig to reset the Odin Count, so I'm wondering if such problems occur only on root should i service it? Has anyone who's been rooted for a week not experienced ONE LOS? Just wondering if its worth the trouble because LOS is not an issue with the phone, just on Sprint's side. I guess some of you got lucky, or what?

Just install su+binaries+bb while you've got a root kernel and then flash the pulled stock kernel. If you want CWM there is a CWM+pulled stock kernel too, I haven't tested it yet but I'd imagine it would be just as reliable. I also hear the LOsT kernel is getting fantastic results however if you want an aftermarket performance kernel with extremely reduced LOS occurrence.
Any kernel built off of the released kernel source has this issue...while stock phones have gotten LOS it happens far far less.
It's not the rooted kernels fault...the 'stock build' non-rooted kernels built from the released kernel source also feature this bug. Samsung is giving us the deep dicking on this one. Those bastards should probably release the actual kernel source. This is holding up a lot of progress.
If you're worried about being rooted and taking it into sprint, don't be. We work on rooted phones and it doesn't void your warranty with us.
However, we still haven't received software to flash phones so there's not much they'll be able to do.

I've tried that but no luck. I want to try out viper's ROM i guess. I'm not rooted currently. But what EXACT steps would you like me try? I do full wipes each time, including system and just in case the built in factory format.

Follow the directions to install ODIN, drivers, etc. Also carefully follow the directions for using ODIN. Flash that. It'll nuke everything you have now but you will start back up with a brand new stock rooted install with busybox.
If you want to save what you have now flash a CWM+pulled stock kernel first, do a nandroid backup and then flash that rom in ODIN. then if you want you can re-flash the CWM+pulled stock kernel to restore your data partition if you really want...but...I recommend not. Just start over fresh. It's not that big of a pain...and if it is use Titanium Backup instead.
To stay as-stock-as-possible I recommend just putting that rooted-stock+busybox and sticking with that starting over fresh. I never got an LOS on that. If I seriously **** things up I always revert to that and it works every single time. (sometimes I break my wifi or 4G or both when screwing with custom kernels...damned if I know why, but flashing that fixes it every time).
If you still have LOS issues you are just unlucky, unroot and get a new phone and start over...but I doubt it. I bet that works out wonderful for you.
EDIT: and if that works out for you, and I'm sure it will, then you can start modifying things one at a time...next thing would be the pulled stock kernel+CWM. see how that runs...if that is fine (and it probably will be, I've never tested it though) then flash viper rom with CWM and take it from there. if something gets borked you will know at what step it occured which will make diagnosing the problem much easier...just test thoroughly after each modification.

then wipe it, lol. Or not, try it without wiping first. If problems persist the only stuff that is left is in /data has to be the source of problems... but, after you flash that you can flash the pulled stock kern+CWM and nandroid just to be safe.
if after that still no dice, well, it's the phone or a very very very unlucky location...but that theory is still up in the air. (I don't buy it)

I've also done that too. Worked great for me.
I will report back. I only get LOS when I'm in school. It appears when i go to an area where i get no bars, a circle with a slash will appear. So far so good.
Lol, I just got an LOS on 00001.PRL (alltel/verizon towers) with full bars. I haven't seen an LOS in weeks, I haven't seen it happen with full bars though.
I can confirm for the first time I do not suffer from LOS. I used R1ptide's instructions and all went well. I went to a party where no one ever got signal, so when my bars went empty i received a circle with a slash for a second. HOWEVER, it went back to the bars and didnt stay stuck on that stupid circle.
Everything is definitely good

Coming from an EVO 4G I thought I had a pretty good grip on installing roms. A week after getting and rooting my S3 I'm still gun shy. I want to install Jelly Bomb but I keep seeing posts about flash counters and dirty flash. I've never heard this mentioned before. Are these Samsung exclusive terms? I wanted to go easy and find a Rom as close to Stock as possible with the ability to remove apps to get my feet wet but haven't found one. This phone seems easier to brick than the EVO. Am I right? Also, I see things referencing Touchwiz and fishing it. Very confused. Samsung's version of Sense I guess?

Flash counters can be reset pretty easy these days. all roms labeled as having TW or touchwiz are pretty much stock with things like battery saving mods or battery hogging apps removed that are usually not needed"debloated".

Here's what you do...former evo'er here as well...
Grab the one click Odin LJ7 that you will find in sg3/android dev. Titled (root)odin one clicks by billard. Read the post so you understand how to use it. Save it to your CPU. That will save you if you ever brick your shiny new phone.
Go on you tube and search qbking77....you'll find every video you want regarding rooting and installing cmw
After that its the exact same way to flash ROMs as your evo. I promise.
Good luck

I luv this rom, super themed though, not everyone likes all the blue. For me everything works. Just the statusbar after a reboot, you have to pull down notification bar once to get it to show up. Other than that no problems, kernal in 10.2 allows overclocking also.
this post sent from my Jellybombed GalaxySIII
Your fine then...just install cmw and your good to go.
The galaxy 3 is different than the evo in the sense that its very easy to root and unroot using Odin. The evo is a pain to unroot.
Make sure your grab that one click Odin and save tho because it will bail you out of trouble if something gets screwed up. You could run that and it will return you to stock or stock rooted (your choice depending on what file you download).
Anyways. Install cmw. Download ROM to your SD or internal SD. Hold volume up, home, power to cmw. Wipe/factory reset x3, wipe cache, advanced/wipe dalvik, install ROM, reboot
By the way. If you want what you posted in op keep stock but rooted. If you want a better kernel flash team sonics or jelly bomb with kt747....but if I were you I'd go SlimBean...enjoy
One other thing. What's this business about downloading a modem?
The roms are not modem dependant. And chances are if you're on stock you already have the latest modem. If you want to confirm go in the about section of settings and look at your baseband. should end in LJ7. Like I said though its not really important
If the modem isn't that important, why can't I connect to Sprint's network at all? I was working on installing the Goodness ROM which said I had to install a particular modem. I downloaded all files to the computer as suggested, transferred them to the phone then used TWRP as my backup and installed the ROM and the modem as stated. When I went to reboot it told me that there was no ROM installed. So I went back to my recovery installed it and now I can not connect to the network at all. Can someone please help? I need my phone as I am a Paramedic and I talk to the hospitals with it when I am bringing them a pt.

Not trying to sound harsh here but if that's the case just stay stock rooted. You need the phone brother...peoples lives are depending on it...lol
On a lighter side, I do t have experience with that ROM. But sounds like a bad flash. Wipe/factory reset...cache....dalvik...and I even format the internal SD...haven't had any problems
Open the dialer and hit ##72786# Should set ya straight
Oh well that didn't work. I watched the QBKing77 video and followed those instructions. Install took way less than I expected. Maybe two minutes? I pressed reboot and it rebooted back into recovery. That didn't go so well.
I have the 747 ATT model of the gs3. I was flashing a rom, bluh bluh bluh. My phone hangs at the start up now. It booted into it once, then I decided to reflash and restore a backup - trying to learn how to use Titanium Backup - and that boot it just started hanging. I decided to try to reflash in Odin. With the software to root. Still same thing. What do I do now? It turns on, just wont go past the boot screen :-/...please help asap!

I feel stupid, my apologies. I did what you said, I cleared the both sets of caches, flashed the rom, then cleared cache again and let it sit for about 7 min. on boot. I am using Liquid Smooth Liquid JB. What would be a good Kernel for it. I don't quite get how to know if Kernels are compatible. Also, I'd like to OC it. Thanks for your help!
Not to sound like an ass, but if you can't properly install and fix a ROM with so many beginner how-to guides on this forum, then you most definitely should NOT be over clocking your phone. Software and bad ROM flashes can for the most part be fixed. A broken chipset from going too high on the OC is a permanent failure.

Just a tip...dont ever restore system settings through Titanium Backup
Just a tip #2....if/when you do decide to OC your kernel, DO NOT Set On Boot until you know that it works or not.
You will get into a bootcycle that you won't be able to get out of without a nandroid. Bootcycle =/= Bootloop. A Bootcycle will boot up and then once your CPU tuner gets SU granted and starts its tweaks, it'll be too late and you'll either lockup or reboot.
Hi. I'm currently on stock rom 4.1.2 and rooted. If I go in settings and family tory reset my phone will it remove root? I couldn't get a straight answer anywhere else. Thanks for your help.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4
No, it might remove updates applied to the Superuser application you're using (initial install being in /system and updates in /data), as well as which apps were granted root access but that's it. Factory reset deletes the contents of the /data partition, meaning your user apps and settings will be deleted. Depending on the options set, the internal SD card will be wiped, or not.
On the other hand, flashing back to stock with the original, unrooted Samsung images through Odin will remove root.
Thanks for the clear answer. I appreciate it.

Out of curiosity, are you specifically looking for a way to remove root, or are you just wanting to factory wipe it without losing root?

Ah, I gotcha. I only ran CM for a bit, just didn't like the interface, but I certainly found it to be solid. And no, a standard master reset win't unroot you, it's (generally) done by a process much like rooting the phone, uses ODIN and all that. I believe there might be an application that lets you do it sans PC, but don't quote me on that. Barring highly unusual circumstances, you should still be rooted. To get back to stock, did you just restore your stock ROM backup, or did you flash it back in?

Ah, then look into TouchWiz ROMs based on the international LTE variant, the N7105.
FYI: If you didn't like CM for cosmetic reasons, it does have a theming engine. Or perhaps something like MIUI might be right up your alley.

its not the cosmetic reasons. i really liked CM but my data connection wasn't working and battery life i got was crap (heres the thread where i attached the screenshots http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426910). CM looked and operated fine. i'm currently on slimrom and had the same thing. but i fixed it by going to access points and restoring defaults for the access points.

I am currently using Jedi Master 16. Definitely stable and has customization out the wazoo, comes with a few themes to it, LMT controls for shortcuts, XPosed and an icon changer. The battery life is...okay. Not the worst, but not the best. I just underclock my processor and run Battery Doctor. Usually keeps me with a decent battery life, but again, not the best. For truly good battery life, you'd probably need an aosp rom.

First, want to say a big thank you to Pwn for the great ROM you created and the support you've given in the threads.
I've been keeping up with updates for about a year now, but wanted to ask the simple question about "flashing" a new ROM version or Kernel.
I use CW Mod recovery as well as titanium root to back up data and apps etc. When needing to flash a new kernel, what steps are required to ensure it is done correctly? I follow your directions on the home page, wiping everything a few times and installing fresh. From what I gather, that is only needed for flashing new rom's, is that the same process I must follow for Kernel's? Each time I return from the bootloader I install titanium backup from the play store and run my restore of apps etc, not sure that's the best practice, but I am looking for simple answers. I'm a father and work a lot of hours here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and don't have a lot of time to dedicate to spending hours tweaking the device. I use your rom for it's simplicity and battery life. Any guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
from within Tibu you can create a zip flashable from recovery , and restore apps from there. (no need to re-download from playstore each time).
for flashing a new kernel , i personally just flash the kernel , wipe dalvik and cache , and then reboot. (i have read that wiping dalvik/cache is unnecessary after flashing the new kernel , but thats just my habit). hope this helps. remember : always have your backup and read read read.
good luck. :thumbup:

Quantum Kernel 10/11
I take it that bluetooth is working again on Quantum Kernel 10/11?
Thanks!
Hey pwn! Thanks for Quantum/ Quantum kernel! I used to always use CM10/11 and it was never that stable for me and the GPS wouldn't work most of the time. I installed Quantum kernel 9/8 and the rom and it was pretty stable I did get some restarts in apps once in a while. However, once you released the new 10/11 kernel everything has been running super smooth! Thank you so much for all your work. I only had one issue with the new kernel, when my battery was completely drained and then shut off, I then plugged in my phone to the AC adapter and it would stay at the boot logo with samsung and pwncakes at the bottom. However, once I let my phone charge for a couple minutes I was able to start it up without any problems. Thanks again!

My guess is you have an unsupported version of recovery installed like d2can instead of d2att. Follow these steps to find the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302599
Update to my fellow Quantum members. Have flashed properly and wiped properly, reloaded Q5.2, QK10-11 and restored my apps/data from TIBU. Since this upgrade, my phone is discharging it's battery within minutes. I can't boot it properly when it is plugged into a charger and at times the screen is locking then unlocking itself then crashing. I have tried full wipes and factory reset's and then flash everything from scratch, but to no avail the battery life is still crashing. Any advice? I researched this problem in the threads and only saw a solution to go back to the nandroid or something like that, but did not see instructions, therefore I am lost like a proper noob.

for flashing a new kernel , i personally just flash the kernel , wipe dalvik and cache , and then reboot. (i have read that wiping dalvik/cache is unnecessary after flashing the new kernel , but thats just my habit). hope this helps. remember : always have your backup and read read read.
good luck. :thumbup:

Update to my fellow Quantum members. Have flashed properly and wiped properly, reloaded Q5.2, QK10-11 and restored my apps/data from TIBU. Since this upgrade, my phone is discharging it's battery within minutes. I can't boot it properly when it is plugged into a charger and at times the screen is locking then unlocking itself then crashing. I have tried full wipes and factory reset's and then flash everything from scratch, but to no avail the battery life is still crashing. Any advice? I researched this problem in the threads and only saw a solution to go back to the nandroid or something like that, but did not see instructions, therefore I am lost like a proper noob.
Thanks,
A

Some battery stats screen shots or a BetterBatteryStats log could help to diagnose your problem assuming it's a wakelock causing it. Try leaving your phone idle after unplugging or rebooting for a couple hours to get better stats.

Thanks for your reply. There in lies part of the problem, I can't get it to stay on for longer than 20 seconds or so to take screen shots, download the battery stats log etc. It is constantly unlocking and relocking the screen over and over and then shuts down and doesn't reboot properly. Also, with the battery out or just on AC power it will not power on.
Quantum 5.2 is running very smooth on my phone. Quick question though, my bootloader is I747UCALG1 and modem is I747UCLG1. What bootloader and modem should I upgrade to in cwm, I've been hearing about this NE4. Or should I just go for the jellybean ones? Thanks!

Gents, it has been a few days now and I have no solution for even booting up the phone. Now when holding the power button down to restart it will begin to reboot, but then just shut off. I rarely can get it to the recovery screen, but then it crashes quickly. This limits anything I can try to do in recovery, so I'm open to any suggestions at this point.
Thanks!
have you put this on the general s3 Q & A thread ? more would see it there. just an idea.

Update. So I finally had some time to scour the forums for a possible solution and troubleshoot further. Turns out the power button was shorted, had to watch a tutorial and removed it. After getting to recovery I was able to flash 5.2 and latest kernel etc. So far so good, it needs a full charge and hopefully that will go smooth. As this problem started it was discharging the battery so incredibly fast I couldn't keep it charged. Thanks for your help everyone, crossing my fingers it stays up!

Sounds like it is hardware related I'm guessing faulty power switch. I've had two go bad on me and that's exactly the symptoms you describe. $20 fix unless you do it yourself
