Hi
I am going to get red S3 next week and was planning ROMs and kernels.
I have noticed that you need to flash ICS before flashing other JB ROMs, I am no noob to android so be as technical as possible, I absorb knowledge like a sponge.
Also I read that it only applies to people who use WEP WiFi.
This is purely to satisfy my curiosity.
Thanks
P.S does this also apply when switching from stock ROM to one of those customized stock ROMs?

no i am reading pretty new stuff, like slim bean for example, it tells me to flash ics before that so i dont get wifi not working issue
Instructions do not say it must have ICS flashed first
Instructions say if you have wifi issue flash ICS but as i said that was old 2 september post .
Suggest you read the instructions posted for that rom as defined in post one .
From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean
Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.
Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)
*** - If the flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash device before flashing common or other zip files
BT Bug? Same procedure as WIFI?
Hy guys ....
first of all ... slimrom 4.2.1 is TOP! really nice ...
but there is one thing i found on my i9300
my bluetooth connection to my bt-keyboard stays only 1 or 2 seconds till its disconnect ...
so my question: is there any other here with same problems? should i proceed like the wifi fix ( stock ics => wifi connect => reinstall ... ) ?
thx & greets from austria
mories
update: i came from slimrom 3.1 but flashed other 4.2.1 roms for testing but made superwipe before installing slimrom 4.2.1 RC1
I flash many roms "sensation,speedwizz,ics,jeally beam" but when i flash "OlloS2 Armageddon RoM 4.1.2 Armageddon Setting Holo Theme InkEffect!!!" my phone was block,can somebody tell my why?
I have a samsung galaxy s2 with root,and i never experience this!!!
And another problem,i reinstall my old rom "speedwizz" but my phone was still with network sim block,i manage to unlock it but lose my IME,its there a way to get it back?
Thank You!!!
I recently update my kernel and rom. I am now using the Infamous rom and kernel. I am still having problems.
When I place or receive a phone calls It starts out good and within a few seconds it starts breaking up. It sounds like I have poor signal but I have 3 to full bars and the other person has good signal. I can put it on speaker phone and have the same problem. When I first got the phone it worked great, But flashed a kernel ( not this one another one ) and it started doing it after that. but like I said I've flashed the Infamous kernel hoping that would take care of the problem but it continues. Ive also tried several other roms.
I found a new touch wiz rom on XDA just now and am going to try that one.
Should I try a STOCK rom and Kernel ? if so can someone please send me link to where I can get the STOCK rom / kernel from
any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks !!
Hi guys im kind of new to this things....so here's the thing
im N7100 (note2) user....last week i root my phone and use Alliance ROM....it work just fine. after that i change the ROM into HD revolution ROM it also fine. the problem is when i try change the rom back to alliance ( i also try to flash illusion rom) i got error on the network (i live in indonesia) i cant make a phone call also my IMEI is changed. But when i use the revolution HD again the network come back and the IMEI is fine.

What is wrong with my phone please help me
Hello friends.
I am new to this wonderful community and very happy to be a part of it.
I am facing a very strange problem. I am trying to update my WT9i Live with walkman from Gingerbread to Ice cream sandwich. Problem is .. whenever I flash an ICS rom my touch doesn't work !! Everything else works fine (physical keys / network / audio). Then if I install GB rom again it works flawlessly.
I have unlocked bootloader.
I am using Flashtool to flash stock roms.
* WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58_(1254-1868).ftf = works
* WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1254-1889).ftf = works
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf = touch doesn't respond
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic.ftf = touch doesn't respond
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_CUSTOMIZED CE3 WORLD I 1254-1889.ftf = touch doesn't respond
I have no idea what could be the reason. Any GB roms works smoothly. Any ICS roms bricks the touch screen. I have tried custom kernel (mesa .. kappa) and many custom ICS rom .. same problem. But at any moment I flash GB rom .. everything works.
I did all the research I could (for last 4 days) and read many threads .. tried many things. Nothing helped.
Please help me! Please Please Please.
I have seen many threads with problem "touch does't work because of flashing wrong rom or kernel".
I don't think that's my case. Because whenever I flash a stock GB rom .. it works just fine. Problem happens with ICS roms .. custom or stock.
I am going to try some custom GB rom with custom kernel. I'll post if that works.
This thread is most likely my last hope of finding a solution .. please help!
Just out of curiosity downloaded the 587 ICS generic rom from flasstool website then flashes it .. same touch problem.
Now downloading latest Nightly CM10 coconut. I'll try it. CM 9.1 stable did not worked .. same touch problem.
Please Help ! I dont see a clue ! Why ICS roms would freeze my touch when everything else works? I am on the verge of throwing my phone out of window !!!
Latest CM10 Nightly build = same problem .. touch screen is not working.
Flashed Stock GB = everything is fine !
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Now I am downloading every regional roms of stock ICS .. its all I can think of.
I know its a very old phone and update / development for it completely stopped. Its forgotten. Still I love this little cute handset and I would love to get ICS on it (for app support .. many app do not work on GB .. like google chrome).
So please help !
Hello there!
Quick question: has your LWW ever been repaired? Like, had it's touch digitizer replaced or manipulated in any way?
I know some replacement parts can conflict with non-stock (or "comes-out-of-the-box" to be precise) software. I bought a replacement display for my Mini Pro and it would just freeze on CM10.1 but worked (kinda) on stock ICS.
And yeah, it's and old phone, but a good one. Development for it and it's 2011 brothers has clearly slowed down but has absolutely not stopped

Hello. Thank you for replying. Its a second hand phone .. my brother purchased it from a friend then gave it to me. So it may have a replaced display or digitizer. I just checked with my brother and he said his friend never repaired the phone.
So GB and ICS use different digitizer drivers? Is it possible to use GB touch drivers with ICS?
No idea. Your problem is truly rare haha.
I'm out of ideas here, most of the time flashing a stock ftf does the trick, but not here.
if I were you, i'd sell that phone to someone who woulndn't care about software updates hehe.
Hello Friends.
I am posting this in case someone else face the same problem and find this thread. In my opinion ..this is a very rare and strange problem.
This problem should never happen with an original handset.
If your touch only works with Gingerbread stock roms and even after complete wipe other stock roms freeze your touch .. then you can be sure that your touch was replaced with a cheap one. Go to a servicing center and replace it with a good touch or sell the phone to someone else who doesn't care about updates.
I went to a servicing center today and replaced my touch. Now it works smoothly with stock ICS rom. I am sure it will work with CM too. It costed me around 25$.
1 tip to recognize low quality touch. Low quality touch will not have transparent bottom-left and bottom-right button. You wont be able to see the key lights through it. Good quality touch will have transparent button. Another warning .. after market touch is most probably not scratch resistant like the original touch .. so you may want to use a good screen protector (plastic film) on it.
This is not only for WT19i. Whenever you buy a secondhand set .. make sure its touch wasn't replaced and best to check if its upgraded and working properly.
Thanks to "Pixelado" for hinting me about the replaced touch issue. Then it made sense to me .. there was no other logical reason for the stock rom not working.
I am very happy with my upgraded ICS But kinda sad about the money loss ! Anyway loss is loss. This is a good handset and I hope it will serve me good. Now looking for a way to root it.
i'm always more than glad to help
Now, on the rooting issue, I strongly recommend unlocking your bootloader and flashing a pre-rooted kernel. Why, you ask? Well, you'll find out eventually
Custom kernels often pack a bunch of optimizations and the ability to overclock. I strongly recommend Rage kernel for stock ICS. Once you flash it, i'll take care of rooting your phone on first boot. If you're not able to unlock your bootloader/don't feel comfortable flashing kernels, rooting by exploits is your only choice.
By the way, I strongly suggest giving LegacyXperia CM10.1 a try. Its awesome

Thanks a lot Pixelado. I have unlocked bootloader and using mesa kernel 4.8. Would Rage 3.2 would be better than Mesa?
I'll try LegacyXperia CM10.1 .. appreciate the recommendation.
I've never tried mesa, so no comment there. Quie frankly, rage 3.2 seemed to be all i ever needed when using a stock rom. I tried lupus, but stopped using it when they switched from CWM to TWRP.
