Hello,
I installed a Anono ROM v17 and now my phone lags like there's no tomorrow. I've tried three other ROMs which work a little better but there's still noticeable lag. The worst part is that my connection keeps timing out now. Can I wipe it completely and return it to stock without losing root? Will that fix the lag problems?
My advice is you download the latest Odinable firmware, at the same time download Chainfire's Auto-Root. Flash the firmware first, go into stock recovery once it completely boots and wipe data/factory reset and afterwards flash auto root. Now you have a S3 with no lag and is rooted. (I hope)
Hit Thanks if I helped you!

Where can I find firmware which is compatible with Odin? Also I'm rooted already and not sure how to return my sg3 to stock. It's been a while since I last returned a phone to stock android.

Hello I am from Argentina, desperately need help.
I rooted my SGSII ICS 4.0.3 phone with CF Root LPJ everything went as expected. Odines PASS! and all but when my phone reboots it just turns off after logo screen with triangle.
I can get into recovery and download mode but that is all.
What should I do?
Might commit suicide if there is no fix.
Flash stock rom.
You can find it at sammobile.com.

If you can get into recovery and download mode, you are only softbricked. It could be worse.
Please be more precise, I lack experience but I will understand.
Which stock ROM should I flash now?
Because I got a downloaded I9100UHLPS_I9100AROLP4_ARO but it is not LPJ.
I also managed to find Kernel_I9100XXLPJ at intratech. Would flashing this kernel fix it? Could it possibly mess my recovery mode and brick my phone?
Flash the same ROM again using Odin, do not flash the wrong kernel.
ARO is a good ROM, just flash it again, it will boot, then root with the cfroot for that ROM later.
What do you mean by the SAME rom? I got this problem flashing a CF-Root kernel not an entire ROM.
The ROM I had before was ICS 4.0.3 which I upgraded officially via Kies.
Should I flash ICS 4.0.3 UHLPS that is for my region? I9100UHLPS_I9100AROLP4_ARO
I'm pretty sure that's what Atifsh meant, yes.
Thank you all! Thanks given with the button for all!!!
I flashed stock ICS 4.0.3 for my country downloaded from sammobile.com and the phone recovered with no trouble! I got my soft bricked SGSII working again!
Is there anything I need to wipe now to make sure there is no crazy leftover from the CF-Root boot fail?
If it's working fine, then probably not. I mean, you could always backup your contacts, call logs, SMS, etc and your apps with Titanium, do a factory reset, and then restore contacts, call logs, sms and user apps/data only (do not restore system apps or data).
But if it's working fine now, I don't see the point.
I want you to do two things for me tho.
First, get kTool either from Google Play (it's free) or from Hellcat's thread on here. Then backup your EFS. Keep one copy on your external SD card in your phone, and keep another copy on your PC. Then I want you to do a Nandroid backup in CWRecovery.
That way if anything does ever go wrong, you should be able to recover/get up and running again easily without losing your stuff. For example, if your phone ever borked & you had to send it in for warranty service/replacement, you could restore that backup when you get your phone back/a new phone.
Do a backup at least once a week and certainly every single time before you flash a new kernel/rom or if you make major changes to your system.
I am afraid of doing anything with this phone now. First experience = soft brick.
Damn I almost die. Now I need to find a way to get out of this stock 4.0.3 ICS because it is ramming through my battery and is as slow as a potatoe.
4.0.4 is eMMC hard-brick possibly if I wipe after flashing.
Now I feel like an expert.
I also tried flashing cf root today and it softbricked my phone. Weird.... next time I try to root my phone, I wont be using cf root.
Which Kernel was yours? Leave it here logged for future brickers.
Mine was LPJ
I have a few problems and Q:
-I need to send my tab P7510 in for service(newton rings)
-Installed Official ICS UK rom with ODIN since it was not yet available in the Netherlands with Kies
1. Flashed this rom7510XWKL1_P7510LUXKL1 which gave a boot loop.
2. Then wiped userdata and cache with cwm and flashed again with this rom.
3. Again boot loop.
3. Flashed rom: P7510XEULPH_P7510XXLPH worked perfect
4. Flashed rom7510XEUKL2_P7510XXKL2, again boot loop
-Will a service center be asking Q when I have a UK rom installed?
-Any pointers how to roll back to 3.2?
-Does the binary counter has to be reset?

Sounds like you'll want to go back to 3.2 stock. You should be able to get the 3.2 stock ROM from Sammobile. Now I'm not the expert here, but as far as I'm aware all you need to do is
1) boot into download mode
2) Flash the stock ROM with Odin. This post will likely help.
3) Boot into stock recovery, do a full wipe and you should be out-of-the-box clean.
Now I've never had to do it but I've read enough about it here on XDA. Hope this helps!

I have no trouble flashing the ICS UK rom. It is the 3.2 roms from UK and Luxembourg which give trouble.
But then again:
-Will a service center be asking Q when I have a UK rom installed?
-Does the binary counter has to be reset?
Sorry, misread your post. I doubt Samsung would care if what they find on the device is what was there when it was new, period.
I would also say yes, reset your binary if you're sending it to service. They would know that you've been mucking about otherwise, if they decide to read the counter. If anything, it would be safest I'd think.
Well, it seems there is no tested or proofed method for resetting the counter on the TAB. On the otherhand, I have found posts that the chance is very small Samsung will make a big deal out of it. Have not found a posting yet of someone telling his guarantee was rejected because of his counter. What I find strange is that the counter is raised after using 2 roms from sammobile. That shouldn't be custom roms????
Well, going to make a service request today and hope all will be fine.
Hello.
My brother just bought his new razr hd and gave me his galaxy s2. At least its much better than blackberry.
Im having some problems with it and I have some doubts.
thanks for your time
-I didnt ask my brother because he is travelling for his work.
1- Once rooted, always rooted? I saw somewhere that if I reflash the baseband I could lose the root. Is that true?
My brother rooted it with 4.0.3 with a bug that you dont even needed to plug the phone to the pc to root it. It had a brazilian firmware, then he flashed a trinidad tobago firmware and did the root. I want to reflash the modem and try new modems. Thats why im concerned about. Can I do it without any concerns?
My root does not have the yellow triangle on boot.
2- Then he installed CM9. Can I factory wipe it via CWM? Im afraid of that superbrick bug, but it now has CM9 kernel. Im safe, right?
It has the crazy chip. Checked with an app.
3- Are you guys also having problem with the new ROM manager version? 5.9.3.0? None functions that need root permissions work. If I uninstall to previous version, it works.
4- Why ROM manager it asks me to install a "new" 6.0.1.0 version when I have a 6.0.1.2 CWMR?
5- I did a factory reset via menu. It is the same as doing factory wipe on CWMR?
6- When he flashed CM9, the wifi roaming bug was fixed. But after I factory reset, it seems to stopped working. When I move between access points, the signal increases then it disconnects and reconnects...
Thanks.
Questions belong in Q&A

Before I answer anything, please check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763193
Now then,
1. Root remains until u manually unroot it (by removing su binary and Superuser app), unroot using SuperSU app, or flash a stock firmware. Flashing a baseband (or modem) doesn't unroot your phone. But flashing an entire firmware does. Still, you can always root if you get unrooted!
2. Brickbug only affects stock 4.0.4 firmwares with stock kernel. CM9 should be safe to do a full wipe, since you're on a custom kernel. :good:
3 & 4. I suggest you stay away from ROM Manager as many members have reported problems while using it. Since u already have CWM, you don't need ROM Manager.
5. Factory reset via Settings and via Recovery ought to be the same. I prefer to do via CWM though.
6. I don't know about this as I haven't tried CM9 for a long time! Maybe you should check out the CM9 discussion thread to see if someone else has ur issue, and look for a possible fix for it.
Hi Folks,
I am selling my GS3 to Mazuma mobile for £90 & need to return the phone to stock samsung rom from the custom rom I'm using at the moment (Fusion 2.0.6)
1 Use philz recovery to do full phone wipe & also the install new rom wipe.
2 Use Odin to flash the last UK BTU stock rom MK6.
3 Possibly use TriangleAway to get rid of the red exclamation mark when phone first boots.
4 Possibly flash stock rom again to be sure.
Are those steps ok or is there anything else I will need to do?
Would really appreciate quick reply as I will be wiping & flashing stock tomorrow before posting to Mazuma the same day.
Cheers.

Download official stock rom for your region, wipe data/cache from recovery, put phone in Download mode, close Kies from Task Manager, start Odin, connect phone to PC and flash stock rom. After the flashing process is done enter recovery and make wipe data/cache and then reboot. Use triangle away to clear the binary count + the exclamation mark. If it needs root permission flash a custom kernel to gain root and then re-run triangle away. After clearing the binary count and exclamation sign you can re-flash the stock rom. Make another wipe data/cache after flashing it and you should be good to go
Goodluck mate !!!:thumbup::thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9300
Cheers for the reply AlexVat
Was kinda hoping it wasn't going to be so complicated lol, I assume when I flash stock rom with Odin that will wipe Philz recovery & just have the stock one?
Could it be possible to run triangle away first then then just flash stock rom?
All replies appreciated
Well triangle away didn't work when I ran that first & it didn't even reboot into it's custom recovery, also thought I borked my Samsung 32gb SD card, used my S3 to erase it after copying everything off it I needed but it then wouldn't mount again. Tried it in PC & kept getting write protected error when trying to format it.
As last resort I fired it into my Sony Z2 & it said it was corrupted, tapped the message & it then fixed what ever was wrong with it & formatted it. Will just flash stock rom tomorrow morning & fire it to them, from what I see online they don't really care if it was rooted.
All done, custom binary says no & stock BTU MK6 rom installed, will get posted tomorrow & will have £90 in my bank by Sat
Also getting replacement Z2 due to gaps, over heating & camera being off centre, will be checking it fully & using built in diagnostics to make sure screen has no dead pixels etc.
Mods can close this thread if they wish, many thanks to AlexVat for the help

I'm glad I could help you, mate. Enjoy your new device Cheers and have a great weekend!
So I originally had issues with my S4 when it updated to 5.0 I got a new one from the inusrance company and i wanted to root and rom it right away. Well it took me a wile to root it, I had to find the right (or what I thought was the right) Kernel's to use. I rooted it finally with Towelroot, I then tried to install TWRP and reboot to recovery and load a Rom, however my phone will never reboot to recovery now. It will only reboot to download. TWRP does not seem to work and if I mess it with it it will reboot to download and it won't do anything ells until I use Odin to reinstall the Kernel. If I try the button combo to reboot to recovery it still reboots to download. So I think that keeps me from using SafeStrap as well.
I am at a loss, I just want to get the Hyperdrive+RLS21+KK+S4 Rom on my phone so I don't get the stupid 5.0 that ruins my phone. Is there anyone who can help me out with this? Also I did try to do a factory data reset and that did not work either as it just rebooted to download and I had to use Odin to load the Kernel again and it just rebooted to the same un-reset OS I was in.

You do know that OC1 is still locked down(5.0.1)?
No root, no downgrade, no ROMs, no safestrap. No TWRP unless you happen to have MDK(4.2 Jellybean)
You will have to flash a stock 5.0.1 ROM and life with it.
I had an S4 that did upgrade to OC1 I got a new S4 with my insurance that was not upgraded to OC1 it was still 4.4.2 NK1. I loaded the Kernel NC5 and used Towelroot then back to NK1 but I cant get TWRP to work and boot to recovery to flash the ROM it only boots to Download. I really want to ROM it so that it does not go back to OC1 as when it was OC1 on my old phone that I don't have it was useless, I could not make phone calls or install anything on the phone or it would just lock up and restart constantly.
I can not figure out why it won't boot to recovery, and why if I try to do a factory reset i have to reload the Kernel to make the phone work again.
Thanks,
Brad
THIS IS A TEST PROCESS!!
I just posted a set of service files to try and downgrade...I pretty sure it might work! [emoji14]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/help/testing-revert-to-nk1-t3124096
It Worked! now I just have to figure out how to re root I tried once with Towelroot and it did no work then tried to load the Kernel that Towelroot worked with and it got all bugy so i reloaded your Kernel and it was still bugy so I did the whole process over again and it worked a second time. LOL
Thanks so much,
Brad

TWRP will not work on anything above 4.2.2(MDK). You have to use Safestrap.
Do a FULL wipe to nc5, not the workaround. THEN towelroot, install Busybox(IMPORTANT) and Safestrap(modded version of TWRP SPECIFICALLY for devices with locked Bootloader), install Hyperdrive or ROM of choice.
Well I got all the way through, I got the Safestrap to work and boot to recovery. I did a wipe factory reset and wipe cache and Dalvik. I then try to install rom, now it says to install in a working and setup rom slot? I think that is where I have and issue. If I just try the instal it does not work as I get the error "no MD5 file found" and then "error flashing zip" Do you think this is due to the wrong Rom Slot or am I missing something that I am not doing?
Thanks so much for your help so far, I am so close and at the very last step in this whole ordeal, or at least I hope.

hmmmmmmm
Did you put the ROM on the SD card. Make sure to use the STOCK ROM SLOT!!!
Yeah, both of those things. On the SD card as a zip file and the stock ROM slot. I did try last night to flash another ROM quick to see if it would work and I got the same error so I don't think its my ROM but something I am doing wrong on the phone.
Thanks for your all your help so far,
Brad
Finally got it, took some time and lots of rework. I soft bricked it so many times I cant count them. I got this down though now, I am just playing with the rom to see what setup I like now.
Thanks so much again for your help.
