[Q] Rooting problems, please help!

Hi everyone. I am trying to root my wife's galaxy s 4g (I have a vibrant). I am using a mac with parallels and windows xp. I have tried all of the instructions. I have the drivers installed, net 2.0 framework, mono for xp installed usb debugging turned on...yada yada. Every time I try to open superoneclick it fails to run...it gives me an error message that the application had to close and then offers me the option to send error report. I've tried downloading superoneclick versions 1.7 through 2.1 and none of them will run. What am I missing? Why is this so hard?
Thanks

maybe its the mac and the way it handles usb input through parallels.. do you know anyone with a windows PC that you could use for 5 mins?

Unfortunately I don't. the phone gets recognized by windows just fine when I plug it in. I just can't get the superoneclick app to open

All you need is Odin, there are numeral roms available that are already rooted.
There's really no need super one click.
Just keep in mind that your phone is completely different, in other words only use files meant for sgs4g

Thanks, however I don't necessarily want to flash a rom. She is very happy with touchwiz, I just want to be able to delete bloatware, make backups, etc....basically I just want her to have root access. If she wants to flash a rom she can do that later, it's her first smartphone and she's not that adventurous.

There's stock roms rooted as well such as kd1(last official rom released for sgs4g) and most of the roms still use touch wiz. They can be found in the sgs bible. As long as they have the word "stock" in them they are just that... Stock with every piece of bloatware included.
Hope this helps

oh, that's good to know, thanks. Do you know if those roms will wipe? Would she need to back up all of her data and apps first? Also, if she did need to back everything up, how is that done when not rooted....i've always done nandroid and/or titanium backups on my phone.

Defiantly backup first... Titanium should do.

IMO, you should flash KH2 and drhonk's kh2 kernel. It adds ext4 support, auto-roots and adds red cwm, but leaves things stock from there on. There's a raw odexed leak available on these forums, as well as a stock but deodexed (well, the crt on/off effect is added), as well as whitehawk's Valhalla, which is stock (and deodexed), except it has the power menu mod and custom lockscreens (9 of them, zOMG).
My personal recommendation is the odexed leak and drhonk's kh2 kernel. I'm not big on deodexed roms, myself, but it's more a personal choice than anything. Also, if you go this route, all you need is Odin
Moving to Gingerbread is the best thing I ever did on this phone. I strongly urge you to dump froyo straight away, and make the move to gb!
Hope this helps you decide what to do
[Odin]What Time is it? It's Leak Time T959VUVKH2 Build Date 08/11
[Kernel][GB][KG4/KG6/KH2] Stock Kernel + CWM + Voodoo EXT4 Lagfix
[ROM-Leak][CWM] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKH2 Deodexed + CRT On and Off Enabled!
[ROM] Valhalla v1.1 [KH2][9 Lockscreens!][9.15.2011]
Oh, and, if you're like me, you HATE the T-Mobile jingle/animation.
Here's a little package I cooked up for CWM to replace the T-Mobile boot/shutdown animations and sounds with those from the Galaxy S II (GB only):
[MOD][CWM][GB] Galaxy S II Boot/Shutdown Animations w/Sound

I would love to backup first, but I don't know how if I'm not already rooted. Titanium only works with root.

There are other apps in the market that can backup your apps that don't require root.

Moving to Q&A

Why don't you just use Odin to flash Bali on froyo. Backup. Flash gb. Restore data. Not sure if that will work. I remember there being froyo to GB issues. just list your apps and start from scratch. It's worth it, as jay says.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

If you want to restore your froyo apps on GB, you can either use Titanium Backup, or these steps in the advanced restore option in CWM, as tested by another member here:
Flash whichever GB ROM you want according to instructions, but don't boot the rom when complete (do a battery pull if you have to).
Flash Bali Kernel on top of your GB rom, DO NOT BOOT THE ROM
Use CWM, go to restore, then advanced restore your data, DO NOT BOOT THE ROM
Reboot recovery, and flash one of DrHonks GB kernel
That *should* restore your data. I personally haven't tried this, but a few members reported that it works.

Is it possible to make internet snappier?

I just rooted my phone yesterday and removed all the bloatware (big thanx to Lumin30)
Now I'm wondering if I can make it even snappier without flashing too much stuff on it.. since I'm too new to this business and would prefer having my phone mostly stock
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Boat browser is the fastest I've used. DL from market.

If you have cwm installed. I'm assuming you do since you're rooted. Dsexten's adrenalin shot and the scroll mod can work wonders for making things snappy while maintaining a stock phone.

For actual data speed, you can probably make it faster by leaving your phone on CDMA mode only (keeps you locked in 3G/4G). If left in Auto mode, it will revert to EDGE when you aren't using data.
I feel like it makes a noticeable difference, since your phone won't need to switch back and forth.
As for the actual speed of a browser, I've been using Dolphin since I got my phone. It's very snappy.

Read the first link in my signature where it talks about SGS Kernel Flasher.
ADD:Alex - Let me know if the directions were clear or if you need any additional help.

It was somewhat clear... I appreciate u making that thread and taking ur time to answer but I'm still somewhat clouded... I need to install a kernel with vodoo lag fix before I install a rom.. when I go to the link of vodoo lag fix it says attention its still buggy and vodoo sound maybe coming soon... all of that is making me somewhat worried... but the rom flashing steps are confusing to me since I'm like a blind baby to this flashing stuff.

If you don't want to use the kernel then you can use KJ1. I haven't had a problem with the kernel. And when you flash the custom ROM it will have that same kernel -- just updated. You only flash that kernel to get CWM to flash the ROM. When you flash the ROM it comes with a kernel that will overwrite the kernel you flash with SGS.
And Voodoo sound is not the same as Voodoo lagfix.
You just need to follow the direction to get where you want. If you think some of the directions are clear... then tell me which one's and how. I will take a look at and see if I can make them clearer.

Check your mounts in mounts and storage and read the OP of ROM for correct mounts – U=Unmount / M=Mount. I had to change some coming fresh out of the box.
o Then choose 'install zip from sdcard', then 'choose zip from scard', then go to bottom, find ROM you copied over, select install and wait.
thats a lil confusing...
and to double check the first step:
all i have to do is download Subtly Modified Stock for T959V KJ6 v0.1.1-rc1 and flash that kernel with kernel flasher from the market? simple as that?

Yes on the kernel.
Don't worry about the mounts. I need to change that. The aroma installer will handle that for you now. What ROM are you going to flash?

ICBINB 2.3.7 since I read its mostly stock with no theming and is super fast and only uses 46mb internal space since it heavily debloated... would u recommend it?
BTW thanx again man!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Yes.
Go reread the guide. Take notes when you go through. PM me anything you think needs to change or be added. If you have flashed the kernel - just flash it - follow the directions to flash the ROM and you are good to go. Take note of the steps in the Aroma Installer you do and PM those also and I will add them to the guide. Aroma Installer is what you will see after you select install for the ROM.

I just installed quick boot.. did a back up... but from cwm recovery I don't know where to navigate to install the icbinb rom... it has a list.. back up.. reboot.. update zip file or something like that... etc which one do I chose? And do u need to extract the icbinb rom zip file? Or just put it like that in the root of my sd? Before that do I need to wipe anything? Thanx a lot again

[Q] Clock work mod recovery

does anyone know if flashing the leaked ics update will remove clock work mod recovery from my phone? i just flashed it and made a back up of my stock gb rom but i want to be able to flash back to gb if i dont like the leaked ics rom.

Either way you can flash it through Odin in case you lose it after flashing ics. I did flash ics but I can't recall whether it removed cwm recovery or not

There is no best, it's personal preference. Look through the DEV section and browse the roms. You need to read and then try some and see which works best for your needs

Things I've learned today that you all may or may not know. If you are having any lag issues with this ics update this worked for me. And you must be rooted. First freeze or remove any unused apps att bloatware etc etc. For a list of the ones its safe to remove or freeze search the dev forum. Since my phone is still under warranty for now I just chose to freeze those apps but if you are out of warranty you may just want to remove them which you can do with titanium backup. Now I don't know why but this second thing really made my phone a lot faster. Install apex launcher like I said I don't know why but it did. So try it it just might work for you. Now if I could just figure out the battery drain issue I would be ok. Any ideas on fixes or tweeks for extending battery life on ics???

better battery stats will help u figure out whats draining your battery. Also, i don't know where this "warranty" idea u have came from, but u voided it the second u flashed that ics leak, which hasn't actually been released yet. Also, if u did use the oneclick ics, i high recommend u flash a different ics custombrom through cwm, stock is too buggy. Superlite 5, team perfection, and ics - the real thing are all good choices

Well from what I was told if it didn't trip the flash counter they could not tell if it had been flashed and the flash counter when I got done with everything flashing the update flashing cwm and rooting when done the flash counter said none. It only moves if you flash a custom rom from what I read and been told by others on here. I will try the battery stats app to see what is draining my battery it might just be ics is more battery demanding than gingerbread???? Oh and the third I done to speed up my phone that I left out of my last post was get rid of any and all task killers task managers. My phone is way faster after those three tweaks.. if I'm wrong about the warranty let me know thanks for the advice on battery stats headed to download now....

You don't wanna get rid of the stock task manager, if that's what you did. What exactly do you think you just did? You flashed cwm with odin, you flashed a rom, you flashed a kernel, and you flashed a radio. All custom and not official=warranty void. You can get away with this by flashing the sammobile tar and unrooting, but as of now your warranty, well, you don't have one. I would also advise you read more before you go flashing, deleting and freezing anything else. This is how bricks happen.

Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

[Q] Camera has stopped, Help?

Hi a week ago from today i got the ATT USA samsung galaxy s3. I rooted it last weekend and yesterday i wanted to be able to use the volume button as a shutter button. I searched this up and found this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844374 im pretty sure i did it wrong because i didn't read the entire post and couldn't find exactly how to. I'm new to all of the android stuff (i previously has an iphone). So idk about the ROMs and other terminology. Bassically what i did was downloaded the zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844374 to my phone. I then turned it off, held the power button, home and volume up. i hit install from zip and installed the file from that link. Idk if i was supposed to or not. Now i cannot use camera. Everytime i click camera nothing happens and it just pops up with "unfotunatly camera has stopped." It also made it say "android upgrading applications started" everytime it turns on. I need to know what to do next please and make it simple if possible. Thanks in advance.

It says android version 4.0.4

Damn, we'll it looks liked you tried to flash a jellybean camera on ice cream sandwich. Try searching the at&t Samsung galaxy s3 forum for a camera app and try installing that over what you got. I got to wake up for work in 5 hours otherwise I'd try to find it for you.
Worse case scenario go to the forum I said above and find the ariel rom and flash that.
All you would do is download the rom which will be a .zip file. You go into the recovery like you did before.
***Make a backup first by going to backup/restore and clicking backup.*** Once that's done you format data format cache go into mount and click format /system then go to advanced and format dalvik cache and then go to install update and select the ariel. Zip you downloaded. Ariel is a very stable ics rom. I used it for months. It's basically the same thing as the stock att gs3 but without the bullcrap bloat.

Damn, we'll it looks liked you tried to flash a jellybean camera on ice cream sandwich. Try searching the at&t Samsung galaxy s3 forum for a camera app and try installing that over what you got. I got to wake up for work in 5 hours otherwise I'd try to find it for you.
Worse case scenario go to the forum I said above and find the ariel rom and flash that.

I searched for the camera and couldn't quiet find it, or know exactly what to look for. Would it be possible for me to just upgrade to jellybean now before i do anything else or what and if so how

I mean... It's a possibility you could do the ota update of jellybean (the normal att update) I personally would be afraid to try since you're rooted and have change system files by flashing that... Idk I wish someone else would jump in and and would confirm or deny that because I'm not 100% sure.
Personally I would just flash a custom rom anyway. I'm running the customized "stock" jb rom someone posted in the forum. It's running great and you can flash stuff like the one you originally tried without issue.

I personally would. I'd flash either the ariel rom which is ice cream sandwich. It's very stable with great battery life. Or the new jelly bean rom by enewman17
I've been using that one since last night and it's been running great so far. I was at work all day and I'm at 82% battery life with like 9 hours being on. If you have a microsd card in your phone you should put your data (pictures, music, etc.) on it anyway but you will basically lose all the apps and stuff. So put any data you want to save on your sd and use the instructions I said before to flash properly.

alright well i don't have an external sd-card but ill probably get one soon. I'll save those instructions and do it later so i dont have to worry about losing my apps and having to redownload them. Thanks for all of you help

Don't worry about losing your apps. Your Google account will always save them. And the instructions are the same no matter what rom your flashing. So don't worry. You'll pick it up quick
If you need help just let me know.
