[Q] How to downgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the 4.2.2 but I want to go back to 4.1.2. But when I try to flash the rom, an error occurs. What should I do ?

Do you honestly think you've given anyone enough information to help you?

Loooooooooll why do these nerds get so mad when someone doesn't ask a question in detail?! Can you honestly not ask for clarification in a better way? Weird people either keep quiet or be courteous I'm sure there was a time where you didn't know jack s**t.
Anyways, my friend, please clarify yourself. Do you mean you want to downgrade without losing backup and straight up flashing the ROM without wiping?

You need to chill out. We "nerds" provide you with the answers to your questions and the ROMs you run on your device. So you need to show a little, scratch that, a lot more respect to the members that make XDA what it is. And yeah, in the beginning we didn't know all that we do now. But we sure as hell didn't get our knowledge the way the OP is trying to do. We searched, tried our own methods, read, and tried more. New users just wanna be spoon fed.
If the OP had searched and not been lazy like he was, then he would have found an answer. But no, he chose to be lazy in multiple ways and break the rules.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Give a man the means to fish and he will feed himself for an entire lifetime.
My post was not rude nor discourteous (unlike your jumbled "effort" of an insult). My questioning of the OP was an attempt to get him to ask himself the same question. A teaching of the use of logic. He knows there is an error. Logic would tell him we would need to know that error is before we can help. We also need to understand the process.
Yes there was a time when I knew nothing but knowing how to provide information and ask questions allowed me to learn quickly and that's why I know as much as I know now so before you judge me and call me names, look at my title and thanks and think again before stepping in when you have nothing to add except insults. I help people much more than you. My aim is to do more than to help. My aim is to teach but people with no respect make me question why I should ever impart my knowledge on these forums. Rude, ungrateful and put nothing back into the community. I don't even know why you're here.
Also, clue is in the title. Xda DEVELOPERS. NONE of you are supposed to know "jack s**t" - this is not a users help forum but we tolerate user help requests but there is an expectation that questions will be asked in a proper way, giving as much detail as possible. If this is a problem for you, there are numerous "non developer" help forums available, where "friendly" people will tolerate poor questions for ever without caring about the development of the OP's knowledge.

[Q] Stock Amaze, ROM reccomendations

Getting a stock Amaze today.
Background: I've rooted, S-off'd, and ROM'd *other* HTC phones before and used ARHD on the Sensation.
I'm looking for root, stability, and good battery life. I don't care much about minor performance tweaks.
Is hasoon2000's all in one tool the best way to root today?
Are any of the rom's a big improvement over stock with no serious side effects?
I know there are FAQs and Wiki's, but I've also been around XDA long enough to ask before diving in to a new phone before I use possibly outdated guides.
Thanks in advance.
You've been around long enough... then I'm sure u can read the dev threads and judge for yourself. Recommendations are for the indecisive

I swear, if people spent half the time answering questions as they did explaining why they're not answering questions they don't even know the answer to on XDA...
Anyhow, the all-in-one tool seems to have done the trick (perm root/recovery).
I'll report back when I try a ROM.

This is xda-developers not xda-helpers, I'd be a little nicer than that if I were you and he has a point, there's loads of threads around here, doesn't hurt to read and do your own research, no two people like the same thing because they should, we all have our own preferences.

Stop being lazy and whining. Try the couple/few (not like there's a ton) that are out there and make up your own mind.
Asking whig Rom is better is insulting to devs that may not get mentioned. Read OPs and threads and see if Any known issues are there.
But u have been around a while... I'm sure u know that
Edit.. looks like u run arhd on your sensation... That MAY be a good start don't u think?

You guys know that it is a running joke everywhere else on the internet how unhelpful people on these forums can be.
This is a Q&A forum. I ask a Q, you might give an A. Here's how to figure it if you should respond:
If know the answer to the question and you have the time/patience to give a helpful answer, go for it. If no, move along.
Instead you've wasted everyone's time and clouded the thread by arguing about the value of the question. At 88 views, at least some people are interested in an answer.
I'm sure you know a lot about this phone and have helped many people, but I don't care if you invented sliced bread if you don't know the answer to my question or have the time to answer it.
If you need help interacting with other people in a forum when you do know the answer to the question, I've provided the template below. You might "sticky" it.

Hello,
Welcome to our forum. The [wiki/guide] (insert link, maybe if you're feeling super helpful, certainly not required) [is/is not] up to date and is a good resource for [rooting/recovery setup/etc]. I have tried [x,y,z] roms and I find [x] is best for battery life, but [important feature] is not working for [me/other people].
_____________
Again, if you don't know this information or don't have the time/patience to give a helpful answer, you needn't respond.
Your time and efforts are valuable. Don't waste them.
Only if u would put the effort into reading and experimenting as you did your short essay above, this thread wouldn't be needed.
Good luck on your quest

So you're saying that all the people we helped, all the work we do and all the praise saying this is the nicest community many have ever been apart of in the introduction thread was a lie? Your laziness and lack of understanding is not our fault, we help as much as we can, but some things are truly pushing it. This place is for development, not a play ground for those unwilling to even help themselves.

There's loads of threads of roms with hundreds, possible thousands of post on user input about how the roms run, advantages and disadvantages, no two users would like the same rom, I preferred stock lightly modified by me while gg like quick Droid and Ziggy liked speed rom, do you think I can recommend a rom to them or its a better idea for them to try them out for themselves? I'd recommend stock but he obviously doesn't like stock or he wouldn't be looking for a custom rom, then what? I tell him speed rom is nice because someone said so but I have no clue myself? Like really, grow up, this is no place for childish questions and responses, there was no need for things to get all hostile here, your best option would be to try thing's on your own, if you can't make your own decisions from your own personal liking and experience, then you sir will settle for second best because of your attitude towards it
For the record, what others think about the support on this site, really doesn't matter, this place is for development, not support. We offer help when we can because as a human trait, people do stupid things or just can't keep their cool long enough to sort out an issue. Therefore count it a privilege many take the time out of their day and work to write the multiple guides here and the devs for releasing their work.

Didn't have to try...
On another note... Asking which Rom is better is a flame war waiting to happen and is offensive to the devs whose roms aren't mentioned. And since user experience and needs vary, you will never get a helpful answer. Mix that with all the fanboys in the amaze forum and u get a mess.. how do I know? Cuz there is already multiple threads asking which Rom is better than which.. I READ.
The correct answer is to quit being lazy, read, and try for yourself. Stop getting so butt hurt. I'm not talking about ur mother, just your internet bestie
Get over it.
Why is this thread still even going?

Like the majority of us, we were excited when we got out SIII's however all the information you need is contained with the SIII walls on this particular corner of XDA. What people are suggesting is you take a look for yourself first and have a read of all things before asking such a question as the answer is but a quick look around.
So, instead of spoon feeding, go for a wander and have a look. You will be amazed at all the info there.

This is my first droid and first smartphone. Im looking for jellybean and try understand how to root and install, etc - few days. Im tired searching, reading, and be careful to not destroy phone. At this time i say many ways to root for many devices and one think can destroy phone. I thought xda forum which i see first time can help choosing correct way, files to install jellybean on my phone bcs its not att, tmobile or other provider.
Well. thx for no help.

As Mr Tuff said......we at XDA are here to serve you and all your smartphone needs. please put your phone into download mode open Odin and click repartition and add any random .Tar file ( jellybean will be in there somewhere, have faith ) then click start.
now once you do this you will need to send your phone off to a repair shop where they will activate your newely installed JB build on your phone.
then just wait.........
Hope this helps......................................Probably will not though, lol

What he said.
If you can't follow those excellent HOWTOs & FAQs you surely DON'T want to flash your phone. If you have a specific question, ask in the thread about flashing and installing. This here won't help you a bit.

Ya, I agree with this.
Op, just enjoy your phone for now the way it is, the JB leaks are not for people with little experience in these matters.
Hang around xda for a while and learn how things work here, learn why making these threads is frowned upon, read through the JB threads, learn from them.
Then, when you feel comfortable enough to flash it on your own, you are ready to give it a go.

1) I don't mind helping people, I love helping but please understand I have things I need to do
2) I am really good at helping people, As there are many roms, tweaks, settings, I cannot know everything about every rom, tweak and settings
3) I only help over Gtalk, Its quicker and it saves space on the XDA servers.
4)My Gtalk status is a good indication whether I am able to help.
5)My Gtalk is [email protected]
I am happy to help out as much as I can. If its something that might take awhile, let me know. We can plan a certain time to do it.

You could make it the people you trust and other people would need to be qualified like a recognized contributor or something. I understand what you mean when you say it can be dangerous but I really think with the right people that having a group or list of people you can contact for help would really benefit the rezound community and maybe inspire other device communities to do the same.

Probably the most drama i've ever been trough over a phone. Guess people take this too seriously. A new phone comes out every 5-6 months i doubt half of you will even have this phone for more than a year, and to be responding the way you are is just WOW. All this for a phone you wont remember in 2 years. Again you're free not to read my post. Clearly im new to this "XDA" thing and know the bare minimum (root, cwm, cm10), hence the questions. Roms and roots were easy for my SGH Skyrocket, but is wayy more difficult for the LGOG for a newbie. Im learning though. Thanks to all of the chill people who helped in an appropriate manner. To all those who made having this phone living hell thank you too for making it clear that some people need a hug. Everyday. All day.
-Again thanks for all the helpful insights. I couldn't thank you enough

All this for a phone you wont remember in 2 years. Again you're free not to read my post. Clearly im new to this "XDA" thing and know the bare minimum (root, cwm, cm10), hence the questions. Roms and roots were easy for my SGH Skyrocket, but is wayy more difficult for the LGOG for a newbie. Im learning though. Thanks to all of the chill people who helped in an appropriate manner. To all those who made having this phone living hell thank you too for making it clear that some people need a hug. Everyday. All day.
-Again thanks for all the helpful insights. I couldn't thank you enough

What you don't seem to understand is that no one minds questions, but asking a question, when there's a whole thread dedicated to the question (a thread that shows up 2-3 items down the forum thread list, from your) is absurd and does nothing but clutter these pages. Doing so makes people think that you are either too lazy to search for an answer or believe that your time is more important than ours, so we're supposed to provide the link for you or write the answer again. Why would you expect people to do either of those things?

We get that you're new to XDA. But given your age and generation, you should at least be somewhat familiar with technology (the fact that you are flashing ROMs and even on this website in the first place is proof of that) so we expect you to have a minimal understanding of forum etiquette. Like the guy above me said, the link to "How to use LGNPST on Windows 8" was just 2 threads away from the top when I posted the link to it in my reply.
Put yourself in our position. If EVERYONE decided to make a new thread every time they had a question that was answered 100s of times already instead of using the search feature or checking the stickies, just imagine how cluttered and unreadable this forum would be. We would be spending more time sifting through threads to find somewhat relevant ones. So basically you can see why we get a little uppity for threads like this.
Anyway, best of luck to you. Good job getting this phone. You're gonna love it! :good:
Since you're new you should have read the forum rules and watched the nice video XDA created that covers the basic forum etiquette like searching and not creating threads covering topics that have already been covered.
I think you need to go watch that video again, and stop breaking the rules. You're not making much of an impression with the members here so far, from what I can tell. To me you're coming across as both an asshat and not terribly bright. What you do from here on out is up to you, but I'd suggest a change in attitude would be a good start. Getting defensive and butthurt doesn't help your cause.
Start taking what we're saying as constructive criticism intended to help you conform to how things work here (even if it is delivered harshly). You'll find a lot of your questions have already been answered, and if not, people are willing to help if you ask the right questions the right way.

[q] noob rooter needs help

im hoping some ppl will be able to give me some good advice. i am currently running JEDI XV13 on my Note II. I found out the hard way that there is some type of bug with the gps. when i try to get turn by turn directions it gets hung up while searching for signal. does anyone know if and how i can solve this problem? does anyone have any good ROM recommendations? i am not really a big ROM flasher, nor am i into theming or anything like that. to be honest the only reason i rooted my phone was bc my friend said it was a good thing to do so if anyone has any thoughts or advice on anything ive mentioned i would greatly appreciate it

Noob mistake. Use the search function before asking a question. Chances are you will find an answer to most questions you have.
GPS Status and Toolbox should help for the GPS
Beans ainec IMHO (there is a thread recommending, just need to search)

I don't know why some people insist on calling n00bs out for everything. They too were once a noob. Your question is fair- there are two things you can do:
1. Turn on GPS and try to navigate somewhere, then go into Settings/More Settings under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/ and change the Network mode to CDMA/LTE to Global or vice versa. See if that works.
OR
2. Reflash back to Stock or whatever ROM you have had a GPS lock on and establish a lock. Then nandroid flash back to whatever ROM you want (i.e. JediROM). Try to navigate- most likely it will work.
I would advise though, hitting the Crtl F key... :highfive:

I'm just trying to get him to understand there is a search function that works very well. Then next time he has a question, he won't just post it, he can solve his problem.

I hear ya, it just seems like the community is rejecting newcomers. . I know this isn't the truth (usually) and he should have searched first, I guess I was trying to give him the benefit of doubt

Really the way some noobs are treated they are turned away from the community. I have been guilty of *****ing out noobs before as have most of us. It gets very old to answer these questions every day when people could have used the search function to find the answer.
On the same hand the reason some of the noobs dont even come to XDA and screw up their phones by using roms and rooting methods is because of the attitude here at XDA and the way noobs get treated. Im not saying every noob gets treated badly but when the first post tells them to search without trying to answer the question that gives a initial impression of an assholish community.

And add the fact that there are millions of posts to sort through, you sort for one question and it pops back 30 threads. Lol

Very true, but you can choose to sort thru one sub forum at a time and that geta rid of the majority of the posts that dont apply to you. Of course most noobs are confused by the way XDA is set up, I was confused by it a bit when I joined but it was a bit more disorganized then than it is now.
The reason most of us get a little annoyed with noobs and repetitive posts is when there are 3 posts that are the same thing one right after another and there is an answer in one but they didnt bother to even look at the Q&A section before posting.
The worst part though is when there are posts in thr Development sections, when I joined there was no Q&A sub forums and I still had enough sense to not post in Development.
Those of us who do try to donate our time and answer questions for new members need to leave our attitudes at the door when we start helping them unless it is warranted, and there most definitely are times that attitude is warranted. They are there asking for help because they honestly dont know what to do or don't understand a process and they asked for help not attitudes for posting a question in the Help and Q&A Thread. Its really giving the sitenas a whole a bad name because of the attitudes that some members have towards noobs even when they follow all the rules and have legitimate questions. I hate saying that about XDA because I love the site so much but it's the honest truth.
