Hi everyone, really sorry if someone has asked this before, but I looked through the forums and couldn't find much pertaining to my problem.
I installed LiquidSmooth 4.2.1 for my I535 Galaxy S3 on Verizon, and it loaded, but I noticed my appstore was gone, preventing me from installing Titanium to get all my apps back.
I googled it and that told me to install Gaaps. So I reflashed the stock ROM, and then installed Gaaps. When I did, every Google related app crashed simultaneously, making the phone near unusable. I figured I'd just reflash the stock image again, and that seemed to fix the problem. Is there anything else I should do, in case something goes wrong?
I have a feeling I might have used the wrong Gaaps? Is there a certain place I'm supposed to look as mentioned here? In that same thread, it looks like the dev doesn't even want to answer where to get the gaaps.
Again, I'm sorry if the answer is obvious, but I am having a little trouble here.

I saw that one, and noticed i535 wasn't one of the options listed. Do I just use d2vzw?

yes.
Always make sure to flash a Gapps package when flashing a ROM, unless otherwise specified. Also, when flashing a Gapps package make sure that you flash a gapps package that is compatible with whichever variant phone you are using, in your case d2vzw as well as compatible with the ROM, i.e. if flashing a 4.2.2 ROM make sure you flash the compatible gapps package. Doing an extra 10 minutes of research can save you hours of headaches.

Hi guys!
Recently i buy this Photon Q 4G LTE Sprint to my wife's birthday.
It's a wonderfull device with a nice hardware, but the best is the external keyboard (She likes it, because his old device was Motorola dextr, and she was used to), but we're from brazil and my first difficulty was to find a rom that support drivers without bugs.
So here i was: My first try was MIUI. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed TRWP. Didi Backup, formated and installed MIUI, :good:
First i tryed with Kernell the UFO developed for it, and the device don't boot. After i tryed just the rom, but it has no modem or wifi. So i flashed up the stock rom modem img and worked fine.
But apks like "retrica" doesn't work with it, bringing black photos and others apks made for instragram. I love this rom and i have installed in my Xperia Play. It works perfect, but in this device have a lot of bugs, so i give up.
I know how to use it with bugs, but not my wife. Then i had to try another one.
I downloaded Cyanogenmod CM10.1, CM10.2, CM11 nightly, snapshot. Then after try all "Xt897" roms, i tryed all "moto_msm8960".
I can't get in any of this roms make my wifi or 3G work. I believe that modem is not compatible. Even if i tryed to flashed stock modem after, i still had no signal at all. No IMEI, no MAC Address, nothing. :crying:
This device have few alternative roms, so i decided try to translate the rom with less bugs at all. I picked up the stock rom JellyBeans 4.1.2, but this was my second failure. A language patch is something that you don't find in market, and to disassembly entire rom and work in a translate is something beyond my knowledges.
So i have an answer to someone that know how to do a fix patch to wifi in cyanogenmod(Specific "cm-11-20140518-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip" ), or someone good in translate rom, or input a language in stocked rom, like The Solutor did in " [Full ICS ROM] Multilanguage/Toggle2g /STK/Tethering" (but the rom he used was 4.0.4 and it have bugs).
I will be grateful for any help. :fingers-crossed:
Hmm, what's the language you want (CM11 already have lots of them - not in the list?), and what WiFi/3G problem are you having? And you also failed to RSD the phone back to stock?
My recommendation is you first sort the RSD thing out and get the phone back to stock 4.1.2, and flash everything from that onwards. Assuming that you don't do anything wrong in the process, you should have no quirks with WiFi/3G.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
Try MoreLocale2 for the stock ROM language issues.
As for the CM issues... I agree with Andy, if it works in stock form, it "should" work on CM - at least that has been my experience.
You are clean wiping / factory resetting before or after flashing CM yes? I see you have done this step for MIUI, so I am thinking that you have already done this step...
If you have, can you provide logs from CM if the wiping/RSD'ing doesn't work?
Thx for help guys...
AndyYan - The language i need is Portuguese(Brasil) and it has on CM 11 and MIUI.
I did it as you said. I downloaded stock from here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=3
Rom version: Android 4.1.2 - Blur_Version.98.10.5.XT897.Sprint.en.US)
And flashed by RSD.
Everything ok till here. No errors, nothing wrong. Wifi working as well, and the network.
My MIUI was taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444449 (GSM one).
Cool rom, it has wifi and network, but camera bugs with some apks. For me ok, but not for my wife. So this rom was discarded.
CM i dwonloaded from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960
The last one was: cm-11-20140521-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip (i tryed all of then "XT897" and "moto_msm8960", but none of them could get my network working. No wifi, no IMEI, no MAC, no wifi).
CM was my hope, because it has my language, but in all tries i did the wipe in cache, dalvik, system, factory, even internal memory, before installing, and cache or dalvik after flash. I tried this in all (tried not wiping too) and still has no modem.
After this, just for try, i flashed stock modem "NON-HLOS.bin". Still got no modem in any CM roms.
arrrghhh - i did try "MoreLocale2" for the stock rom, and "Set Locale and Language" (and more). This softwares did a nice job for keyboards and apks, but system stays intact in english. It need to be a real translation for my wife.
My guess is that this issue can be easily solved.
If all JB roms have the same system(at least for "moto_msm8960" processor kind ).
This ROM is generic for Motorola Atrix HD, Electrify M, Photon Q, RAZR HD, and RAZR M right?
Razr HD is a type of phone that came to my country.
Is it possible compile a system from Brasil career stock, for this phone with modem and anything else from my stock rom? Does it will crash my phone?
Please provide logs from the latest build of CM after booting and attempting to engage/connect to wifi.
Logs??
Sotty about my doubt, but i don't know what kind of logs do you want(i'm not used to).
Logs from TWRP in instalation?
This is easy. Installation was made with no errors and succesfully.
Does CM made logs itself??
If does, i dont know how to get them. Please send me a link.

CM does create logs. If you're not familiar with them, the easiest way is to use an app from the Play Store... which I'm not sure how you will manage without wifi or mobile data, and I assume you are not familiar with adb.
I can go thru the detail, but it's a bit involved. Perhaps this thread will help you?
Once you know how adb works, there's actually an easier method than using adb logcat to output to a file - there are logs stored in '/data/logger'. So:
Code:
adb root
So you can have the permissions to pull the files, then pull them:
Code:
adb pull /data/logger
Will pull all of the log files to wherever your command prompt is. If you 'cd' (change directory) to your desktop, doing the adb pull will send all the log files to your desktop.
Let me know if you have any questions, good luck.
Logs from Adb
Yeap! I'm familiar with ADB!!
(i'm not expert in it, but i already did something with that...)
I don't know exactly what are you lookin for, so i did two logs.
First a complete boot:
Code:
adb reboot system
adb logcat -v long > boot_log.txt
And one for especific modem log from boot
Code:
adb reboot system
adb logcat WifiStateMachine:E *:S -v long > just_wifi_error.txt
(I believe this this won't help u a lot?!)
The first one is the most complete solution for this and have all the boot infos, errors and other things.
If am i wrong please say the correct command to use.
I forgot something...
In filemanager i can't access internal storage.
It shows /storage/emulated/0, and points to nothing.
If i'm right, this was a well know bug on CM 10.2, which supposedly been fixed in CM 11 right?!
I think that information can help to solve this bug...
Please try the adb pull command I sent... Those logs are not very helpful, and quite difficult to read.
However, I have a feeling if you use RSD Lite to flash everything back stock, confirm it works, then start with the latest CM, I'd be curious if it works.
Also, someone mentioned they needed to install the CM10.2 snapshot before going to CM11 - or else BT and wifi did not work.
Eureca...
That is something that i didn't tried! I'd never flashed CM 10 in first!!!
I'm downloading "cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-xt897.zip ".
Fisrt i'll flash stock "Blur_Version.98.10.5.XT897.Sprint.en.US" with RSD.
Then fastboot "logo.bin" (to avoid warning unlocked), and TRWP(my stock have a original recovery that can't install CM. I can edit XML, but to cleanse my conscience i'll let this way).
After i'll install "cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-xt897.zip" with TRWP and boot with this one.
Then i'll flash "cm-11-20140526-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip ".
But i'll have to do this at night(it's 12pm here), because i'm working today.
If that don't work i'll pull the log that you said here, but I come back to thank.
Same problem
I confess I was hopeful in that case you said to flash first the CM 10.2.
But again failed. I tried two ways:
In both I tried to install the Snapshot CM 10.2, then the CM 11.
There is no way that cell boot with "CM 10.2" in any case. That saty on boot animation for several time(i waited 30 minutos each).
In the first I downgraded to version 4.0.4 stock to see if the modem worked.
After that i flashed CM 10.2 that stood in boot animation, then CM 11 booted without modem signal (no wi-fi, no signal).
I taked the log for that version (attachment named log_4.0.4.7z)
On the second attempt, I used the default stock 4.1.2.
After CM 10.2 which was stucked on boot animation again, then CM 11 again booted without modem signal (no wi-fi, no signal).
I taked the log for that version (attachment named log_4.1.2.7z)
Strange thing happened on both CM 11 boot. When the system's load, it shows a message "The clock stopped". This is strange thing for me.
Can you wait for CM10.2 to boot...? There is a fsck process which sometimes takes quite a long time to boot.
Also, for your FC issue - you are clean flashing the ROM everytime? You are doing a factory reset everytime you flash a new ROM?
Edit - looking at your logs, I don't think the fsck is the issue... something is causing the CM10.2 boot to die over and over. Please try clean flashing...
I clean everything before.
Yeap. What do you call a clean flashing?
Everytime i flash some ROM, i do factory reset, clean cache and dalvik.
The ROM is flashed on a clean state of the stock one. Is this the clean you are talking about?
CM was taken about 30 minutes to boot, and yet don't load system.
This is why i stop that and flash CM 11 over it.
Is this time bigger than that? How long your cell take to boot this CM 10.2?

Yes, factory reset == clean flash.
As for the long boot, I'm not sure the fsck is your issue - basically there is a process which runs a disk check, and sometimes this will make the boot take quite longer than usual. I can't say how long, I've never personally experienced the issue.
However, the fact that CM10.2 isn't booting is a little disturbing. I've heard some people report 45-60 mins... can you do me a favor, charge up the phone, and try to let it boot for at least 90 minutes?
If at the 90min mark it still hasn't booted, pull logs and post them.
Thanks.
The logs contain references to apps that are present only in stock firmware.
That means the CM boot is actually not happening in a clean environment (the data wipe/factory reset in TWRP hasn't worked as it should?).
Please try to use OpenRecovery 2.09 instead of TWRP (as OR is the recovery I personally use and watch for possible bugs) to wipe the device and to install CM11 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211579&page=10
When installing CM in recovery, you will probably also want to install the gapps package - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Btw., CM11 expects the baseband (modem) and other partitions the be at the 4.1.2 stock level. Experiments with 4.0.4 are useless.
Please post the logs from CM11 boot.
You will need to enable the logger under CM11 by
Code:
su
setprop persist.log.aplogd.enable 1
in Terminal app or ADB shell, it's not enabled on CM11 by default.

Hi... My TRWP version is "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-asanti_c.img".
Something is not ok with this one. Sometimes this one format the cache, sometimes not.
I have to do it a lot of times and when i try to format data partition, this just reload the TWRP.
I want to install this one that you said, but those links in the post you sent are broken.
Can you please send me another one?

TWRP 2.6.3.x should also work properly.
@arrrghhh, so you see it's not just me having the "wiping /data reboots the recovery" problem... I've already sold my PQ (might buy a new one in the future), but please do help let this problem be known to whoever's developing TWRP for us
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
I can't believe it works
Unbelievable! :laugh:
This very simple solution worked for me.
My TRWP did not work right.
He said he had done successfully in cleaning the cache and manufactures, but did not.
I downloaded the link you guys sent me and it worked on the first try.
Not needed before installing CM 10.2. Already installed in the first CM 11, has worked with modem and everything. Now I can configure the GSM network my country and language of the country for my wife (PR-BR).
I want to thank the efforts of user @ AndyYan to respond, the attention given by the user @ Arrrghhh teaching me with patience, and the solution given by the user @ kabaldan. :victory:
You are awesome for this forum. Thanks for everything.
If you still want the log I get, but I think with everything working, you guys should already know the outcome.

I have a rooted S4 and just installed Dandvh's Google Play Edition v.20150919 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361) rom. I used TWRP to install, wiping everything but internal storage, then flashed the rom. Installed fine, no errors. Took the usual bit of extra time to boot the first time then up and running clean and stable. The issue is that the OTA Updater app doesn't work, severely limiting my ROM options. It didn't install as part of the rom install, though I'm not sure if it's normal to just get it off the play store. I get an error message about not being compatible with the ROM and can't access it (error message screen cap below). Just in case, I wiped the phone and flashed again just to be sure, same result. The OTA Updater is important as this is where you can change kernals, audioFX stuff, toggle advanced power menus, and quite a bit more. When I used this ROM during the first part of the year OTA Updater worked just fine but I switched off in July to try another ROM so maybe something with the ROM has changed? I tried searching for any comments in the thread to indicate either that something changed with OTA Updater or if anyone else had a similar problem, found nothing. Would appreciate if anyone might know why OTA Updater isn't working or how I might correct it. Thanks.
Edit #1: I haven't changed the model number to SGH-M919 (as seen in the screen cap) in build.prop yet as if I can't get this ROM to work right I'll need to flash something else.
Edit #2: I noted in the patch notes that the ROM was updated for OTA Updater 2.4.2 and I was running 2.5.3 so I uninstalled it and installed 2.4.2. No luck there either.

CyanogenMod and D2VZW: Marshmallow Love!
To Make this easy, I am going to copy a bit of the common sense information Master Cylinder put up for the release of Lollipop, same basics apply here!
Huge thanks to Invisiblek for making these builds for us!
Thanks to Master Cylinder for all the super useful information!
De-unified Marshmallow builds for the Galaxy S3 line. This is for the Verizon variant (SCH-I535) only
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 6.0 which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Notes:
Please Use Firmware: VRBMF1
and
Modem/Baseband Version: NE1 (Also, see "Notes - Possible Bugs" section below)
(EDIT: The following statement might not be true. It happened to one user. Unsure about circumstances...)If you have recently downgraded firmware from 4.3 to 4.1.2, DO NOT flash the MF1 firmware. You'll brick your device!
If you know you never took the 4.3 OTA, then you can flash the firmware and modem to your hearts content.
CWM Recovery addicts: Please seriously consider giving up CWM and come on board with what works for sure with 5.1.x and up, TWRP. Problems have been coming up with CWM users so if you have one, that's were to start. Hopefully there's a 12-step program somewhere for y'all
Google apps addon:
Open GApps opengapps.org They have many options for you to choose from based on your needs. Updated daily.
>>>WARNING!!<<< The first time one installs Open GApps, you have to do it with a ROM update (or reinstall current ROM) AND manually wipe the system partition first. Then install the ROM and the GApps normally, then wipe Dalvik and Cache. After that, you can flash them anytime. (More info on Website.) ALSO, for now, don't install Webview as it might not work. There is an "Android System Webview" in the Play Store that will work.
I personally don't use GApps on my Daily Driver, I have a second S3 on Wi-Fi only that I put GApps on, and I use it to basically keep all my apk files up to date. When they get updated, I move the updated apk to my main phone!
I went to opengapps.org, went to Platform: ARM, then to Android: 6.0, and then to Variant: pico. Invisiblek made sure he warned me to do a clean install of the ROM, then Immediately flash the GApps package, then Wipe Dalvik and Cache, then boot. He said NOT to try to install ROM, then add GApps later otherwise bad things can happen! Obviously pick the flavor of GApps that suits your needs!
This page will be a work in progress, so please don't yell if something is missing. I just got the OK to share this with others and wanted to get it out there for you to enjoy. I have been playing with it for the last 24 hours and it is ROCK SOLID in my opinion. I haven't found any issues yet! Daily Driver for me for certain. If you have issues, please post them for discussion below!

**When you get your ROM installed and up and running, please be kind and put a small post with information about your install so we can get as much info gathered as possible. (ROM build you installed, Recovery type/version, Clean install, or Dirty (and if dirty, over what version did you flash), what GApps package you installed(exact one please) as well as when you installed it (if on same initial install as ROM, or differently). And lastly maybe the firmware/modem combo you are running. Thanks!
***IMPORTANT INFORMATION*** If you are going to flash to cm-13.0-20151121-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw or later build, there have been some database changes. InvisibleK has provided a flashable zip file to accommodate nuking your old telephony and settings databases. Nandroid or backup files as needed if you want, as I seem to remember doing this with CM before, and clearing the database wiped texts and call logs I believe. This only needs to be done 1 time, the first time you flash any build from 11-21 on. After you have done this once, you are good to go moving forward, you will be upgraded to the new databases. If you do not flash the "Nuke_It" zip file, you will get phone FC's and a "No SIM Card" error message. So whether upgrading, dirty flashing or whatever, reboot into recovery, flash the ROM, and BEFORE you boot, flash the following zip!

Thanks. I also misread the notation at OpenGApps, which said that need a "ROM" with the patch to allow Google services permissions. Also, there are some posts I've found about fixing permissions after boot then reinstalling GApps, but I won't post that here in case it misleads. I'll be the guinea pig as I've dloaded and backed up and ready to jump out the window!

Error 404: Server be all like
Am I doing something wrong? If not... What next?
I just finished booting it. It seems pretty nice, and I only noticed a few things. The boot time was around half an hour as usual with lollipop. I did notice that there wasn't any camera app preloaded and I couldn't access my sd card through the file explorer (I chose not to format my sd card as internal and I gave the file explorer root access).

Yes, @Stealth111 you've copied the text from the CM12 OP but that won't work for links EDIT: that are truncated in a post. You have to manually copy the link, ex: right click on the link (if you're using a computer,) copy link location of whatever, and insert it manually.
Here is the working link: http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/d2/d2vzw_MF1_firmware_NE1_modem.zip
On another note: I couldn't get my install to function past the first couple of screen in setup. com.android.phone fc avalanche stops all progress. Wiped and installed 3 times with no success. Running NE1 modem (after flashing and booting with ML1 the first time.)

I also can't access the camera even after installing a new camera app. A new file explorer took care of my sd card issues however.
@ Master Cylinder, thanks for the heads up on the link, I have fixed it in the OP. For ****s and giggles, trying wiping and installing just the ROM, and then wipe Dalvic and Cache and see how it goes. Maybe a GApps issue. Also, goes without saying, make sure the MD5 from the download matches to verify you got a good DL..
@Doctorimpossible, glad you were able to sort out the access issue. I install ES File Explorer right away, so I didn't notice the issue. Good catch. These are the types of thing we need to sort out as quickly as possible to get this thing rolling! I will say that my initial boot only took about 5 minutes, but again, I did not load ANY GApps.

So is this a hit or miss when flashing or not?

I have installed it on 4 devices myself with no issues. They were all with TWRP 2.8.7.0, clean installs, data wiped, ROM only install, and wiped caches before first boot. DoctorImpossible also has installed it and is up and running. I don't know what GApps he is running (if any). I will add to the OP asking people to put what they did/used for successful installs.

I tried that just now for the 4th crapout, and there's no MD5 that I can see, but I'm gonna dload the ROM again to my lap and push it over and try again.

Of course! It's the first unofficial build for us.

I used the GApps linked in the description with the stock option and flashed using TWRP 2.8.7.0. I rebooted from 5.1.1, factory reset, manually wiped system, flashed the rom, then flashed GApps, wiped the cache, rebooted, rebooted again and flashed xposed (which works by the way!)

If you have recently downgraded firmware from 4.3 to 4.1.2, DO NOT flash the MF1 firmware. You'll brick your device!

There's no way to tell, but you're probably okay. How did you flash your ROM? This is to warn people that the recent post for a procedure to "Downgrade" from their locked bootloader 4.3 OTA that all of us avoided because we were already rooted, etc. This new method has only been around since this summer, so if you have been rooted in the years category, you're probably okay.
Besides, it may even not be a problem if one had done that new method.

all i rememeber was downgrading from h2 to h1 to get root access.. then flashed CM12.1 on top of that ..

I just finished flashing the ROM with opengaaps for 5.1.1.
- I can't get online.
- I can't even access my own firewall through the chrome browser.
- DHCP does give me a local IP on my only subnet
I'm not really sure what's wrong or how to fix it. My network is fine. I have multiple mobile devices on it, including this device before I flashed the ROM. I didn't see anyone else with my issue in that ROM thread and I couldn't post a reply to that thread for some reason (under 10 posts?)
Fixed it. I reflashed the rom in TWRP and gaaps again in one go this time. What happened the first time is that I flashed the ROM but forgot to install gaaps. So I booted into TWRP after rom installed and installed gaaps.
