Need help recovering - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I just installed THIS sound mode.
I downloaded the zip archive named "63_sound_mod - max vol = 63" from HERE
It works perfectly fine!!!
Indeed the sound boost is awesome.
But i have one problem with this....
The mod disables key touch sounds (like when we click any icon/app or click on any button like the HOME button) and camera sounds.
Please, i want to enable these sounds.
I already replaced both the files with originals provided.
Someone please help me. I really need them!
btw i posted this topic earlier too but no one replied. Please reply this time. I really liked those sounds

First I want to criticize your post:
1. Why you open another Thread with the same Question ? It's not allowed!
2. Do you really corectly read the Thread or rather how you can delete this mod ? Do you use the flashable zip?
(3. Do you try to restart you phone?)
And now to your problem
Just use Recovery and your Backup. I think you do a backup of your system, right ?

Sorry for double post
Ok. I finally somehow managed to get it back by my recovery. Although it removed ALL my mods but i will mod again.
By the way, i was wondering...
Why didnt the backup provided in the post work? I didnt wanted to use recovery bcos i didnt wanted all my mods to be removed
well... lets just leave this problem here as its solved.
Isnt it possible to use this mod without loosing those sounds?
Please tell how. I really want this mod!
Thanks for reply.

Try wiping cache/dalvik and fix permissions

Do you try this:

Sorry guys.
I am being a total jerk here.
I wonder if maths homework messed me up...
Sorry for trouble.
Please see my second post. i editted it
And by the way, wiping caches and that backup didnt work for some reason....
EDIT: got the problem solved.

[Q] How to make your own ROM?

Heya,
Hence I haven't found anything about this topic (or I'm just dumb), I wanted to post this question.
What I basically want:
- Have all my Apps and their data
- Have all the settings
in one ROM I could flash onto my device in the case that I "accidentaly" brick my phone.
Is there a way to do that?
Cheers.
Use xRecovery.

Alright I am dumb xD. Haven't hought about this one going to test it out in a sec.
Thanks
Edit: So I just got into the Backup & Restore menu and backed up the system, I hope I'm doing everything right.
Sounds like it so far.
Ok I apparently have a folder inside the xRecovery folder. It's named after todays date and there are some system img files etc. in there so I suppose that's it.
Pretty much yes.

If you are talking about xRecovery, all you have to do it make 1 backup, this backs up ALL data/apps/settings (also stuff like call logs, SMS, accounts, boot-animation, themes).
I use restore my main backup multiple times a day when I'm working with ROMs.
If you are talking about a backup that can be restored with X10Flash, well I would also like to know the answer to that.
(how to generate SIN files?)
Is what you guys are talking about like creating a "backup image" like you would for a PC?

Indeed. I need this because of constant rom flashing. I brick my phone way to often and its a hassle to set everything the way it was before.

[Q] How to do repair reflash of stock x10???

I think I need to reflash the android system onto my device, because I uninstalled the wrong files and now so many system features are broken (phone book won't open, fc when I try, gmail app fc on opening email, all user installed keyboards fc, surely many more but this is enough to tell me I need a reflash). Question is, where do my current backups stand? Will I be able to use them?? Please help, thanks.

Officially, you can't backup anything and all your data will be lost. If you were careful (maybe you did ?), you would use Titanium Backup and xRecovery to do full backups, but now you've messed everything up, it's not even safe to do a backup of a corrupted system...
To reflash, use Pc Companion or SEUS. You can also (not recommended) use custom flashers you can get from developping section...
Hi, thanks for your quick response. I forgot to mention of course I used titanium to fully backup everything, glad to know this can be used. So what do I do, how do I initiate the reflash process???
well, check the top sticky post..

If you have unistalled any system application,then you do only push that application to phone,after that restore the sytem data by Titenium backup.hope you have schedule backup...
if you have deleted some system files, then reflash ur fone by flash tool....you can only reflash the system.bin.(you need to root again)
hope it will help you......
Thanks everyone, all I had to do was restore my titanium backup (all missing) and I'm good again!!! Sorry I'm a girl that's a little new to this (however I have been following these threads religiously for a while now) so I just kinda freaked out when it all went wrong lol! Thanks

can't install minidiary - how to manually install

hey there
i installed CheckRom V6 on my S2.
I use Titanium Backup to backup and restore all my stuff.
I also use the "minidiary" app from samsung. TitaniumBackup just backed up the Database - for any reason I dont know.
So i tried to manually install minidiary.apk. That does not work, after the installation android just says "application was not installed".
So i tried it manually; I mounted the /system/app folder, to make it readable (using total commander) and pasted the minidiary.apk there. Then a reboot. ( i thought android might have to scan and add the shortcut to my appdrawer after a reboot)
nothing. Anyone has an idea, how i can get back the mini diary app?
thanks in advance
n.
My idea is that u posted in the wrong section
hm. think so? Thought its maybe a checkrom-related problem. If not, would be great if a mod can move the fred.

Well even if it is why are you creating a topic instead or replying to the actual roms thread? If you look at topics in this section for a few seconds, does it look like your topic in any reality belongs here?
This section is for developments not for random help posts, questions, requests, etc, if you want to create a topic do it in correct section.

[Q] Just rooted - Now backups.

Hi Guys
Finally rooted my i9300 from the step by step guide on here with Odin.
Now, i've downloaded Titanium and backed up to external SD card which i will also take a copy and save this on the PC.
And now im confused with Nandroid?
At first I thought it was another type of app, but then found that you do it in recovery mod, so I done this, but do not get the same options of what ive seen on the web. Then last night I think I found something that said I need CWM or something like this, and its installed with Odin?
Can someone clear this part up for me please? If I do have to download a type of file, then where would i find this?
I would look at my history, but the Mrs was on this last night buying on the Next sales!!!! so there are reems and reems of crud on my history!!!!!
I dont fancy attempting anything until I have this nandroid backup done.
Many thanks.

Instructions on how to install are on post number 2. And since you don't have any custom recovery yet make sure you follow the installation guide with odin.
The pictures there should guide you enough throughout the whole process.
This one should provide all the answers regarding the recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 it has all the functions of the recovery stated.
I think this is what i'm looking for.

PhilZ Touch is a much more advance compared to the one you just posted plus it uses the latest CWM build (6.0.3.7) so I recommend that you install the one I posted rather than the original CWM one.

Im currently looking at the one you you have recommended. I was going to post on their thread, but you might be able to answer if your still online?
Like you said, the 2nd post shows instructions, there are 2 parts, 1 to put on an SD card, and the second to go through Odin.
Do they both need to be done, or just 1?
And the link that is given, do I download the most recent ZIP / TAR.MD5 file? v.5.11.2
Thanks for your time!

The most recent one for our S3 is 5.11.2. Download the .tar one and follow the instructions with the odin pictures.
When an update is available you can either flash the cwm zip file through your new custom recovery or use the .tar file and update it using odin.

Good job. :good: Now be cautious of flashing files because... it's highly addictive :laugh:
Btw since you're already into backups why don't you backup your EFS as well? It's highly important to have one just in case well... something nasty happens.

I think I need to understand it all netter before I start following bullet points,
I went to do the viper4android and I ned something called busy box??? So now have to look at that!
And some things say to place the folder in the root... but not sure what standard software I can use to view the folders on the phone?
And is all flashing compatable with Odin? How does it know where to out these files?
And lastly, some prerequisites stat to factory wipe and clear before flashing.
Whe things are done like this, do I use titanium to reinnsta precious apps and contacts etc?
Thanks

Don't remove them. Freeze with titanium backup. That way you can always defrost and use again if needed. Not like removing saves you space anyway.
There's a sticky in the themes and apps section about what is safe to "remove".

Debloated rooted hotspot fix backup

1 You need to rename a folder which is located here twrp\backups\serial here\ then put on sdcard or upload to phone.
2 restore backup all partitions for full stock or just everything but recovery. I used winrar to compress the back.

A request. Can you put in the OP which are the apps/files that were removed for the debloating? This will help to track any issues when people start posting feedback with specific apps. Thanks!

Why don't you just post the adb command and let them do it? It's so easy if you do that - copy/paste command into the window . They already have and used adb/fastboot to flash TWRP.

he still had me to remot to do it but remoted his phone to debloat it since for some reason my backup didnt work as well as i made copy of cust and have the img now stock one
for anyone who needs help if im available heres my hangouts for faster support https://hangouts.google.com/group/lEfufvVP7LOWpEpo2
Thanks for the help, glad you were able to connect and debloat my device,went pretty quick. Hope that cust partition works out for you.
Sometimes it is easier just to let someone else do the work, not saying I'm lazy but if someone with experience can get the job done quicker then by all means. This is the reason I downloaded the debloated version, to simplify the process.
Happy to have the supportive community and I will always help wherever I can.
i might not be on for next couple days got the flue so hope noone has any problems with my roms or someone else can help going to lay down now
