What's App issue on i9003

I get whats app messages only after unlocking my phone.If there has been no whatsapp messages for a long time and my phone was locked and some 1 sends me a message I recieve it only after unlocking my phone.This happens only on GPRS.On WiFi I dont face this problem.Does GPRS time out after sometime?If yes,Is there a way to stop it from timing out.I DO NOT use any battery saver apps that cut the GPRS Packet data when the phone is locked.
Firmware -Latest DDKP3
Thanks in advance.

Flash xda bam's latest kernel and see if it helps

It's not a Rom bro, its a kernel, your Rom will still be stock, and yes Kies will still detect it, but be aware that your warranty will be void once you root your phone (comes included with the kernel) but you can always revert back to the stock rom easily.

Guys thanks for the help,Im a Technically sound guy,ON COMPUTERS, Cellphones not really my domain.The link hellismine89 posted spoke about CPU overclocking and high end stuff.All I want is a Guide to make my phone
P.S Please give the best option for an Indian/Asian device
1.Run smooth
2.Rooted
3.As close to stock as possibe witha chance to get to the 100% official rom as given by Samsung.
4.Rooted device should be detected by Kies.
Thanks A lot guys and sorry for being a pain in the ass.

Its simple,
Download the kernel 'PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_beta10.tar' as posted in the link hellismine89 posted.
Download Odin (google it, should be easy enough to find)
Get your phone into 'Download' mode. for that, switch your phone off, and turn it on again while holding the middle button and volume down key.
Open odin, and under PDA select the kernel file you had downloaded earlier. Make sure that 'PHONE EFS CLEAR' is UNchecked! Do not check it! *VERY IMP* or you will lose your IMEI.
Just click on 'start' THAT IS ALL!

What you have posted is CF-ROOT which basically 'Roots' your phone and gives some tweaks and recovery etc, Bam's kernel is the ONLY one with the sync bug fixed and also comes with CF root... So Just flash Bam's kernel & you will be happy.

Hi Please see the screenshot of Odin Are the right items checked or do I need to check/Uncheck any. I wont Check the EFS option ;-) Version 1.85 is what I got from this forum.Il be using this to flash with Bams Kernel.Should I backup my contacts and calendar on Kies or use some app?Id like to use Kies.
This is the one il be downloading - PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_beta11.tar - [Click for QR Code] (7.58 MB, 58 views) - correct? just 7 MB ?
or should I be using this ? PDA_BCK_XXKPQ_beta11.tar - [Click for QR Code] (5.75 MB, 27 views)
Is the phone going to be overcloked when I use these?
Thanks so much for the prompt replies by all,Really appreciate it.

Yes my friend, all looks good, You can use either one, only difference is one comes packaged with cf root the other is without, go with the above one as you don't have to go rooting all over again.
Regarding overclock, your phone will have the capability to be overclocked, but you can choose whether you want it to be or not, just install 'no frills cpu control' from the market and select your clock speed to 1000 (stock).
Generally there is no need for a backup but, it never hurts! If you get stuck on the boot screen after flashing, don't panic, just get into recovery mode (vol up+home button+power button) and clear cache and davlik cache.

Hey mzone1510 what kernel are you using? I want to use the above one with the built-in CF root but the guy who has posted it says its not recommended.. and its not tested and stuff like that.I cant afford to brick this phone at ANY cost,hope that tells you why im asking 1 million questions.Thanks for being so patient.I'm currently on the latest DDKP3.Also if I do not download the no frills app will the phone be overclocked by default after I update the Kernel ?

It will only be a soft brick which can be fixed easily. . Trust me with this flashing stuff, I always have a backup and a efs backup too.

I am on DDKP3 & using Bam's kernel beta 10 with cf root. Don't worry about the version with cf root, it works fine,no problems at all, and your phone will not get bricked that easily, just remember the efs thing though! Regarding overclocking I think bam has mentioned that it boots at 1000 (stock) by default but runs at 1200 for 5 secs or so. SO its not really a big deal, but its good to have no frills just to be sure.

Cool so I will just stay with the beta 10 with CF root just like you ,I know 11 is newer but since the dev himself doesnt use it and says its untested I'd feel safer to be with a know and used release.Thanks a ton guys!

The problems is, i cant do anything with the phone, feels like its brick, the only thing i can go is to "CWM", nothing else, so im tryin to connect my phone to the computer so it can find it and flash the phone with LGFlashTool

Unfortunately, "CWM" Only Samsung phones that are root is applicable, not applicable LG phones!!
Apart from installing flash the boot loader ROM,can update ROM your phone by the program "KDZ" to "B2CAppSetup" applications.
good luck...

OMG! I totally messed it up... [:'(] can anyboby please help me??

i am using HCL me G1 Tab (Android 4.0.4 ), Kernel: 3.0.8+.Recovery System 4[3e]. this is my 1st android device, bought it 1 week ago. I am new in Android World.....
I installed Superuser.apk (v3.1.3) [using normal apk installation method]..... Then I got root access in FX File explorer and Titanium backup... Today I found another SUPERUSER.zip (v3.2 signed)..
I tried to flash it from recovery but didn't work... So I just extracted zip files in following folders and replaced the previous ones:
1st mistake, i just copied superuser.apk to /system/app folder [using FX explorer]
2nd, replaced 'su' in /system/bin with the new one.
3rd, copied contents from xbin folder to /system/xbin
Done! and now Superuser not working......
Now u guys can feel what i've done.... just messed up every thing.. Superuser.apk has become a system app, so i can't remove it.. can't delete it because I lost root access in FX explorer. su command not working, because doesn't have permissions... Titanium backup not working... etc.. :crying:
i have some other problems [before all these happened]... after installing andriod sdk and adb drivers, adb commands don't find my device. so i can,t push 'su' again into device.. SuperOneClick stop responding after *daemon started successfully*....
can't install SuperUser in recovery mode.. coz i always get the error:
-- Install /mnt/external_sd ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Can anybody please help me??? I know its my mistake but still i hope for some help from u guys... Please tell me what to do now [when nothing is working]....
thanks in advance..

Can you just re-flash your ROM ? I can't promise you it will work, but if you just clear caches and /system, then you shouldn't lose anything on the internal memory and can start over.

Its pretty simple, just reflash ur phone or simply try to restore it, every android device has an emergency downlod mode, if u can figure out urs, u can simply connect your phone to the pc in edm and input ur imei code or serial number, and abt 45 mins on a 150kB/s speed you will have your device back to normal

ECHOE Rom conversion to S7active release

This is the Universal Echoe Rom originally made for the S7flat/S7edge source thread is here ...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/development/echoe-rom-g935t-beta-t3440877
have converted it to work properly on our s7actives so all buttons WORK, no boot loops at start, and no need to get scary blue warning screens, or reflashing of boot.img's
but normal risks, so do the normal routine, backup, and start with a charged battery ...
### Downgrading
1. Using modified Odin by pricecomsy
2. power down phone, and get it into download mode (so with phone switch off, hold menu+volume down and power on, then when prompted volume up)
3. Unpack G891AUCS2API2_6.0_ALL.rar
4. Load all 4 of these unpacked files in their respective placements in Odin...
5. Flash ! once Finished, you in a Clean Marshmallow
### Install is from Marshmallow/Android 6
1. So downgraded from Nougat/v7, or start afresh with Odin (i tested with PL1)
2. flash G891A_6.0_Eng_boot in odin in AP placement
3. Then root by running root.bat from MM_SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC package (it installs flashfire too)
4. then open up flash fire and add converted ECHOE_G891x_Universal_AROMA_V1.2a as zip
5. and flash, follow the aroma installer
6. once it starts installing WILL take 10-15 minutes to load ..
7. then reroot like step 3.. (need to fix the embedded rooting system to suit our actives, like on my ufirm, if i get hassled, and people like this rom will spend some more time on it! )
i doubt this is very good on battery, does have some graphical errors, but they reported in the original thread on the s7flat/edge too
will take a while to configure to how you like it, but the NoNaMe/Echoe rom configurator is very good !
All thanks go activefan01, jrkruse, and all of the echoe, and NoNaMe teams .. all i did was small conversion work, and repackage it ..

just in case i need it ....

Use modified Odin by pricecomsy
and in download mode (so with phone switch off, hold menu+volume down and power on, then when prompted volume up)
Download G891AUCS2API2_6.0_ALL.rar
unpack, and flash all 4 of these files in their respective placements...

it says i need to request permission then i get an email saying delivery failed... what should i do?

Use this link
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/
and find G891AUCS2API2_CL8737252_QB10881022_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.rar
there.....
i will eventually update the OP with my links, but run outa time/space, but thought i would get it out there, as these files been out for ages and should be easy to find!!!...

No, we dont have the normal TWRP etc recovery avaliable for teh S7active/G891a as the bootloader is locked ..
so we have to use flashfire instead

Boot loop
Everything went well except for when it first booted up i get a pop up error that said IMS service has stopped and wont stop spamming the window every time you exit and you cant even navigate the phone and after about 40 seconds of continuous error pop ups it reboots and does it again

Yeah as its based on marshmallow, and its very busy ROM....
There is a v1.5 aviable to convert over, but I doubt that will make any significant difference ..
Done it more of Proof of concept that s7 Roms can be ported to the active
If there is a decent nougat s7 Rom, i could try porting that ... is stang? a good one ?

Im prolly gunna sound retarted asking this. But I just rooted and am running your ufirm_hybrid. What's the difference in this one. Can I start this threat from where im at rit now and try it or is this something totally different. Again sorry, still new just trying stuff out
Sent from my Samsung SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using XDA Labs

This is something different. It is a port of Echo rom for the S7 Active.
Great bit of work but 6.0 is too old now.
