Hello Galaxy 3 Community. I am sad to announce that I have purchased a Galaxy S (Our phones bigger bro) and I have to sell my old Galaxy 3. I will still check in and keep up with the forum but I can no longer use my G3. I will miss all of you and I'd like to thank the people that have made our phone usable. (Order means nothing.)
Thank you Marcellusbe
Thank you Tom3q
Thank you Apollo5801
Thank you Arakmar
Thank you Hillbeast
Thank you Moikop
Thank you Rudolf895 (Dev that encouraged me to flash)
Thank you Kyrillos13
Thank you Rkoby
Thank you Rubensollie
Thank you the Rest of G3 Community
Without all of you, I wouldve sold my G3 ages ago and gotten a Iphone. (Crazy right )
I just noticed i made this is Q&A, i meant to put it in general. :S Mod, if possible can this be moved to general? sorry about the inconvenience.
Good luck on with your new phone and modding of course!

im really confused in flashing with galaxy s. the process is soooo different and theres an overload of roms and kernels and the tutorials are very unclear. this forum definitely has the easier tutorials however, the users are just as friendly and helpful as here

My cousin has a galaxy s. I always flash the roms for him
Just download odin for galaxy s and go to download mode with: volume up - home - power
Then flash a custom kernel and you can flash all the update.zips for all roms.
Have fun on my phone's bigger bro . On Samsung it doesn't really differ, just one package or not and basically just Odin
Cheers

its actually very different because they use mtd for ics. i have to flash a whole gb rom, then a cwm bootloader, then cm9 nightly, then slim ics (custom rom), then a kernel and voila here its just odin.tar voila odin is also different there, its ezodin.

dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now for Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9305
Compatible with Windows (Cygwin) / Linux / Mac OS X
The following is a guide to assist you with creating your own Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9305(T) custom ROMs with the kitchen. This is NOT a guide to help you become Cyanogen or do fancy things with AOSP, but it may be your springboard to bigger things in the future.
Some of you already know about the Android Kitchen. It is a project I started on back in February 2010 to help newbies create their own custom ROMs and learn more about Android. As of the latest versions, you can now create your own Galaxy S3 I9305 ROMs with the kitchen.
I have already posted an equivalent thread for the International Galaxy SIII GT-I9300, which has similar steps as that for the I9305, so no need for redundancy. HOWEVER, please note that you can only use I9305 custom ROMs for your device, not I9300 custom ROMs. Simply go here for the guide:
CLICK HERE FOR KITCHEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR GALAXY SIII.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939300
Since the above link is for GT-I9300 discussion only, please post all GT-I9305 talk in the thread right here. Enjoy!
So god to see that you added support for I9305 .thanks dsixda.
Looking forward to getting started

Awesome!
Great work! :good: :laugh:
So glad to find that this kitchen supports I9305 model.
Yeah, thanks a lot for your hard work. It runs like a charm )) the best tool to get a flashable zip ozt of a stock-rom .... :thumbup:

Huh - I've already used your kitchen from the original thread to process stock ROMs for the i9305. But I guess, this has more optimizations or compatability fixes. Thanks a bunch .

It's the same kitchen, I only posted the guide here, specific for your device
Yeah I've just figured that out. Nevermind. Always good to have straight-forward tutorials for everybody .
Hey guys,
I recently bought the S4 and I am trying to do deodex the stock rom and I am coming up with errors I have never seen before. Basically its not allowing me to Deodex 3 files in the framework folders.
Core.apk
Framework.apk
I forgot the other file as I am at work but its in the same folder.... It comes up with all these ramble errors that I personally dont understand as I am at work I cannot show you them... similar kind of error that comes up when you cannot decompile or compile an apk.
Is there an updated version of the kitchen I am using the same one I used to make my I9305 S3 rom. Pandoriam.
Post all your questions about web OS here! Please try not double post! I will update the second post with all the questions and provide answers that the community gives on here.
Note: DO NOT ASK IF THIS WILL WORK/BE PORTED/SUPPORTED/ETC.! ASK IN YOUR DEVICES [email protected] FORUM OR GENERAL FORUM! IF YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT HAVE A FORUM THAN IT PROBABLY ISN'T GOING TO BE PORTED OR WORK ON YOUR DEVICE! THANKS

The WebOS part of XDA is kind of dead, but I'll give this a go:
What's the best way to go about working on porting Open WebOS to my phone? I have a Galaxy Nexus, which already has an alpha, but I'd like to work on it, I don't trust random people who update their site whenever to making this happen, though appreciation to them if they do... My point is, I want to take matters into my own hands, I'm not new to programming languages, I just don't know how to dissect the WebOS files... For example, the Galaxy Nexus boots WebOS via an .ext2 file on the emulated SD card triggered by a .fastboot file that is flashed in Fastboot as the boot image... But I'm not sure which files do what and things of that nature. I'm not even sure how to open an edit a .fastboot file.
Any info would be great, hopefully you won't just tell me to go to the Galaxy Nexus forums, all they do is argue when the next version of Android will come out and whether or not the Nexus 4 is better than the Galaxy Nexus... I'm not even kidding.
Hey, I'd really like to start porting touchwiz based ROMs for the N7100 to the I605. The Verizon Android Development forum is scarce on ROMs compared to the international Android Development forum. I know a bit of Java, C++ and scripting, but I'd really love it if someone could teach me what I need to know to do this. I'll take the time to learn if someone will teach me.
Thank You in advance.

CleanROM is a ROM that is based on international and includes flashable options in the zip for whatever carrier that you have. Basically you could just note what software/libs/configuration files are in the "Verizon" section which will give you a roadmap as to what files need to be changed versus its international counterpart.

Like all of you who purchased this product since it's release in Spring 2012, I/we have all been awaiting an update from ICS 4.0.4 to JB. And up till now it hasn't happened.
Over the last 8 months I have been in contact regularly with AU's tech support to find out when it will be released and which version of JB it will be. The answer has always been;" we are working on it"; "we don't want to make any mistakes, since an update on another phone was a poor release", etc.
Well today I was browsing through Joshin and saw the spects of the new Galaxay Note 3 KDDI AU has just release. It's OS? JB 4.3. Yahoo I thought, we're going to get our update.
So I go to my local AU shop, where I bought my phone and showed them a copy of the new Note 3 specs and asked when will the update roll out for the Galaxay S3 SCL21 Progre? Answer direct from a Technical Services Manager: "We have never had any intention to release an OS update beyond ICS 4.0.4, because by the time your contracts run out you'll be wanting the Galaxy S4".
WTF! They have never had any intention and just thought that we would roll over and take it up the arse and just by the next version.
Well I'll tell you what I'm going to do, and I told the Service Rep the same.
When my contract runs out I'm going to DOCOMO. Their customer service is way better than AU's, the range of their XI LTE is much broader and faster than Au's (ever had no bars next to a DOCOMO user with full bars?), and they give their android users rapid, regular updates.
KDDI AU needs to be taught a lesson in company ethics. If every KDDI AU Galaxy S3 user changed over to DOCOMO at the end of their contract, they would get the message. DON'T SCREW YOUR CUSTOMER BASE!
***************************************************
On a side issue, since we are not going to get our update, I've been researching possibilities for a custom stock ROM to bring us at least up to JB 4.2.2 is to use Verizon's current stock ROM since it has the same ROM structure and specs as the Progre. I'm a complete novice but if there is anyone willing to assist I have the Stock ROM, which seems to have been removed from SamMobile for some reason.
Confused what is the question .
There is no question.
This is an announcement. And information sharing post.

is it for GT-i9300/i9305 ?
This is for the KDDI AU SCL21 also known as the Progre.
After a lot of searching I found it has exactly the same specs as the Verizon SGH-1535.
That is a Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon 1.5GHz Dual-core with the Adreno 225 GPU.
Therefore the JB4.2
2 for the Verizon should be compatible with the KDDI AU Progre, with a little tweaking.

Nor is it for this. This is the GT-i9300 forum which has no specs the same as the verizon S3.
Also Q&A is for questions and answers, not announcements.

Thank you for the help in giving this announcement a proper home.
Since I haven't used the forums since we were doing the translations for the Softbank HTC X01HT Windows phone way back in the early 2000's, the forum has become a lot more diverse.
So I sincerely apologize for the original incorrect placement.
Thank you you again.
Creating a KDDI AU Galaxy S3 SCL21 (Progre) JB 4.2.2 ROM
If there are any developers that would like to assist in modding the Verizon SGH-1535 JB 4.2.2 ROM to suit the KDDI AU Galaxy S3 SCL21 (Progre), any assistance or pointers would be appreciated.
My initial thoughts are to take the I535VRBMF1_I535VZWBMF1_VZW.zip extract the files;
aboot.mbn
boot.img
cache.img.ext4
NON-HLOS.bin
recovery.img
rpm.mbn
sbl2.mbn
sbl3.mbn
system.img.ext4
And replace NON-HLOS.bin and recovery.img from the current KDDI AU Galaxy S3 SCL21 (Progre) ROM (SCL21KDALJD_SCL21KDIALJD_KDI).
Now as I've said previously I am a complete novice to ROM cooking. So would this be a viable solution, or would it need to be done differently?
Our MF1 ROM is only 4.1.2 by the way.
Oh I was under the impression that it was 4.2.2.
4.1.2 is better than 4
0.4.

Interesting, I had the same idea, but never followed up b/c it seemed troublesome. I had asked about how to extract files from ROMs on android stackexchange but never got a reply. If you have an idea of how to do it, I could give it a shot.

It's fairly simple really to extract the individual files from a ROM. If you're using Windows based OS you can extract with WinRAR (Google it if you don't already have it)
When you first open the zip file with WinRAR you will see 2 files, the .dll file is unimportant it's the I535VRBMF1_1152558_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file you'll be using.
Double click on this and after a while another WinRAR windows opens, again with the file I535VRBMF1_1152558_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5, but when you double click this you will see the ROM file structure.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THE SGH-I535 (4.1.2) ROM YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FROM HERE:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23125694133305576 (Thanks to Senior Member, DarkMenace for providing a download link)
IF YOU DOWNLOAD FROM HERE PLEASE GIVE DarkMenace SOME THANKS!
Of course if you're running Unbuntu or similar the extraction is just as easy using either a terminal or Gnome GUI.
Then I guess filmost it's just a matter of replacing the recovery.img and NON-HLOS.bin from the KDDI AU Galaxy S3 SCL21 Progre ROM into the Verizon ROM.
Does That help you in any way?
Adding to the above Post
To view the contents of each file is easily done using Unbuntu. But if you're using Windows;

I'm on Linux actually, and I should probably clarify. I was trying to figure out how to extract APKs. The img files are no problem. Also, instead of porting to Stock Verizon, I am thinking to port to a Cyanogenmod rom for the Verizon SCH-I535.
Today I figured out how to create a deodexed version of the SCL21 stock rom downloaded from sammobile. I have created several CWM compatible images, but got a status 0 during flashing. It took me awhile to track down the cause. Hopefully this last image I created will flash properly, but I won't be able to tell until later tonight. If it's successful, then I'll look at porting to Cyanogenmod.

You're status 0 could be due to CWM issue: I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154762 to create odin flashabale ROMS (I used this to create a backup of SCL21's recovery.img.tar.md5 compatible with Odin and had no problems. Prior I had the status O issue . Perharps that thread will help
You're a lot further along cooking than I am. So have you been able to created a 4.1.2 ROM (or greater than) for the SCL21?
And with porting to Cygenmod, what's the idea behind that?
Extracting the APKs doesn't Titanium backup deal with that?

Yeah I have created packages for use with Heimdall (too lazy to VM windows just to use Odin). And actually I think Heimdall is way easier and safer to use.
Anyway, no I haven't worked with anything other than the stock rom. If I can get this to work, then I'll think about other things.
The idea behind porting a Cyanogenmod rom is that its lighter and easier to port (at least from the looks of it). Most custom roms come deodexed (single file apks) so if we have a working deodexed stock rom, we could try copy pasting relevant files, and deleting unnecessary bloat.
Technically we could still try simply replacing certain image files from the verizon stock rom, but I the way I have been going about it is safer and allows for more fine tuned control. Besides, even if the SCL21 and SCH-I535 are basically the same spec, if its as easy swapping certain images files out, someone should have made it by now. For the record though, the SCH-I535 and SCL21 are not only very similar hardware wise, their partition layout from what I have noticed is basically the same.
See what you mean.

filmost - you are a hell of a lot more knowledgeable than me in this. For one thing I wouldn't even know how to compare the partition layout.
As you may have guessed I'm more knowledgeable about windows based, so haven't tried hemdal. As for someone else already have done it, I think it's due to to the smaller user base with the SCL21 than the DOCOMO variations
which are based on the international version.( It seems only KKDI AU, Verizon and Sprint went with the Qualcomm Chip ,whilst the others went with the Exynos chip)

Perhaps this will allow the more fine tuning your looking for.
I actually been looking at SlimROM http://www.slimroms.net/ as an ulternative down the road for a lighter ROM. Have you had a look at them?
