I'm interested in buying a used Vibrant, but only if I can root and turn off Touchwiz without flashing a custom ROM. Can you even root a phone and run its stock ROM? Or do you need a custom one to take its place? I'd ultimately like to delete all the bloatware, take off Touchwiz, and run stock 2.1.
For some reason i don't know why no matter what screenshot app i use it does not work all i get is black screenshots and in certain apps if i change the settings it would freeze my phone tried the apps on 2 different roms same out come right now i'm running weapon-g2x rom any help would be great
that rom is ota based home+power button
I just flashed MOAR rom and when i rotate the screen it is upside down. I'm not sure if there is a easy fix. Any ideas?
Flash the stock kernel from beanstown in the first post.
That worked. Thanks.
After updating to the OTA 4.3 my S3 now has a glitch causing the screen to occasionally black out, mostly during phone calls but also after screen timeouts when i hit the power button to turn the screen back on it'll stay black for awhile, the menu and back buttons light up and the touch sensor still works even when black. it work flawlessly before the update. I tried to root and was successful at it using the saferoot method but because of the know being lock I can not install a custom rom or recovery and the problem was still there because I was still using the 4.3 rom. So I used odin3 vs3.07 and put the stock rom back on and unrooted and the problem is still there. does anyone know how to fix this glitch or does anyone know how i can go back to the 4.2.1 rom or install the 4.4.2 rom because 4.3 has been nothing but a headache for me.

It is currently impossible to downgrade the firmware. If you took the 4.3 OTA, you're stuck with it. As far as bugs, they are being addressed by Verizon and a patch should come soon. Meanwhile, you can try reflashing the 4.3 firmware with Odin to see if that clears up any issues.
Sorry you're having trouble, buddy.

Hi.
I'm selling my phone and thus need to go back to stock. Lock the bootloader, unroot and flash a stock L29 ROM.
How do I go about that?
Thanks.
Hi all,
This is probably a stupid question. I'm on an L29 180 rooted rom & get constant App freezing.
How do I go back to stock or fix my issue? I've trawled through the forum but can't get any clear instructions for the L29..
Thanks in advance
