Okay, I read on here every day on my cell and can't find the answer to my question. I, like alot of people have a stock, rooted, unlocked phone and want to update to the latest OTA. I would like to, if possible, do this without Odin.
I was wondering if they're was a file like Scott's stock Rom that could be dirty flashed over stock without any problems? If there is no other way, I plan on using Odin to get back to stock after I relock the bootloader, take the update, and then reroot, unlock, etc.
The big reason that I would rather do it without the computer is that I am on the road 90% of the time and don't have access to a computer. I depend on my phone for GPS as well as entertainment, so being without my phone isn't an option for me. Are there any options?

I am the same way and would like to do it without going completely back to locked/un-rooted/stock. I was able to find a ROM that Scott just updated with the new VRALG7 from verizon here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892670
This will apparently update your phone to the new baseband and leave you stock/rooted.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I read that, but there are some bugs. I wonder if anyone has tried a dirty flash?

Did you just wipe cache and dalvik cache or do a full wipe?
What I ended up doing was a full wipe and flashed CleanROM 2.5, which is based on the new VRLG7 updates. Then I flashed the new VRLG7 radio form here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
Titanium backup took care of restoring all of my apps and settings.
I am curious about this as well. I sent him a PM and will let you know if he replies.

You just want to make sure you don't accidentally lock your bootloader and reboot since you will get the Verizon unauthorized software message which is also fixable but..

Okay, I purchased mobile Odin pro, what is the way that I need to do it? I have not seen a guide for that application. Also, will I lose everything on the phone and have to restore everything if I do it this way?
EDIT: I think I can probably wing mobile Odin, I can't find the new image file to flash. Does anyone know where to find it? I looked on Samsung updates . Com and couldn't find it.

Can I ask why you guys want the update anyway? I'm also on stock/rooted/unlocked and all I did was freeze the apps called 'sdm' and 'fwupgrade' and there's no chance for it to update to the OTA. I hear all it has is dumbed down search and a Verizon remote-help sort of thing.
It blocks a security issue and is different framework from what I understand. I would lock the bootloader, unroot, OTA, and then redo everything but will not be around a computer until tomorrow at the best.

After reading the posts on Scott's CleanROM 2.5, that's what I am going to do this weekend. I will feel a lot better knowing I received the most up-to-date software from Samsung as the framework and then customize my phone the way I want. Plus, that's what a lot of the more experienced posters have been recommending, and for a noob like me, it would be dumb for me to not take their advice.
Thanks for getting back to me about the cache wiping question!
No worries, good luck!

Okay guys, I have been searching for a comparison between these 2 stock Roms and can't find anything. I have read that the leak is better, but would like to know if anyone has ran both stock and rooted on their phone? If so, what are the differences? I am running the radio and can't tell much of a difference, if any.
If there is a dev that would care to weigh in with any technical differences, that would be great!

It supposed to help with signal reception on the Galaxy S III and may provide better voice quality. No new features!
Is there anything in the firmware that is different or is it basically a radio? I would assume firmware fixes as well, would just like to clarify from someone that knows and is not assuming like me.

I've ran both and have not really noticed a difference speed wise. I did notice that my GPS is fixed from the G7 radio. G7 I couldn't connect on the brightest, cloud free day standing on top of a hill. Now it finds me instantly (again). The only other thing I did notice ( and this may have been fixed in the G7 build is when you are looking at your phone and you hit favorites, it doesn't swap the favorites and contacts tabs like it used too. Other than that, phone quality seems the same.
Okay, here is what I did. I don't have access to a PC so I downloaded the Odin image of the HD build and flashed it via Mobile Odin. I wiped the caches and everything appeared to be okay. I started restoring everything and then gaps started force closing, then the message app started force closing. I figured wipe caches again and reboot. Same problem. Wiped again and fixed permissions, gaps seemed to be okay for the short time that I ran it but messaging still wouldn't work. Tried again, still no luck. Tried restoring with Titanium, installation failed so I uninstalled, but it wouldn't reinstall the app. I had to revert to a nandroid to get everything back running properly.
I have not had very good luck with Mobile Odin Pro. It could very well be user error, but I have yet to get it to work properly. Also, in addition to the force closes, I could not get a very good signal. I thought this is strange because I am on build 7 running the HD radio and it appears to give me the best signal that I have had so far with this phone.

ran 5 tests on this and last radio. Average was PRECISELY same. I also literally did not move the phone an inch.
Will flashing the new modem in odin trip the counter??? Im still on stock and thinking about flashing the HD radio.
I didn't notice any speed difference but I did notice on HD that I get lte in low reception spots where it would go to 3g so it's great for me.

To get the VRLHD modem head on over to this page.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
It also contains all the modems available for the phone. There is Odin and CWM flashable formats available.
Flashing via Odin should not trip the flash counter. I really don't know what trips the counter. Mine says 4 but I've done a ton of flashing in the last week.
Just buy a $8 USB JIG to reset the counter or try Triangle Away.
I'm not a dev, only an enthusiast.
I should point out. The HD update is not a ROM is only a modem upgrade.
@OP,
if you did your TB restore settings under all apps and system data that could be why you're having a buggy device. It's best to only restore Apps + data..and not System data with it after an upgrade like this.
As far as performance of the leaked modem goes,I have not noticed any real difference since coming from the G7 Modem. But still it's always good to have the latest..and supposedly..greatest..
Also when using Mobile Odin pro, it's a good idea to acquire the TAR files instead of the ZIP files to do the flashing. Just saying...lol..

Yeah, I knew not to batch restore. I individually restored the apps without the data to attempt to try and avoid any problems with that. Nothing much to restore data wise anyway, I hardly ever play games. My contacts are the biggest deal. I am currently running G7 base with HD modem and it seems very responsive and stable so far. If I don't see any reports of big gains from the HD base, I intend to stay put for awhile.

I don't think the HTC__44 will work on the HTC__038. I have got the second model and I have tried to load an European RUU but I didn't get it because it said the Customer Id (CID) was wrong.
I guess the same will happen with the Asian RUU.
Why cant we change CID inside the RUU?

Thats ok. Once I get the nandroid I will be able to play along with it i guess. I tries installed the CID__044 but it got stuck in the middle as it always does for the wrong version ones. I dont see why it has not been possible to tweak the RUU to be fooled into feeling it is a different CID and not the other way round. Like change the CID code for the RUU. Just a random thought.

Ya I have the HTC__038. It is so annoying that HTC is damn specific. Samsung lets you flash any country using ODIN. If HTC is being so uptight they could at least release the country specific RUUs on the respective Dev sites.

Well If you wanna install TD its simple. Make a backup of your present system. But SAVE A COPY OF IT ON YOU PC, it will in you TWRP folder. This is where I went wrong. After upgrading ROM I got bootloop. Just restarted the phone to recovery and the SD card got locked. In order to unblock the SD card had to reformat and kaput!! I know there are ways to fix the issue I told earlier but chances of hard-bricking becomes high. This will be simpler! remember to back up the entire phone on PC before messing with ROMS. :silly:
So ya, TD is safe and stable. If you already on 4.0.4 go for TD v4. else you will have to start from v2 and move your way up!. if you need more help just post back.
Happy to help.
PS: Do you have a backup of you older version of stock. If possible can you upload whatever stock you have. I will PM you my public dropbox address if you need it!
That's the thing... since there was no India ruu i never tried to mess with the roms.... Have been on stock always.... The only reason I want trick droid is for Google now... But won't if there is a chance that I may not be able to get back to stock plus I'm fed up of restoring apps and data from my previous phone every time I change ROMs

Well I have managed to screw more than once while trying to install ROMs and the TWRP backups have always delivered. Not once have I had a problem. So if you follow the steps the way I mentioned I believe you wont be sorry. Just keep a backup outside the phone. Something people dont mention while installing ROMs!!
Plus google now is completely pathetic if you ask me. havent used it once and had to revert back to normal google as it kept popping things without need!! Guess its more guess for people always on the move.
I think I'll wait for official jb ... Have no real problems with the current rom and I'm too lazy for new rom setup... Is there any way to only root while remaining on stock and keeping the ability to get ota updates intact?

Well you are on stock as long as you don't install a custom ROM! Using a custom recovery will not kill your OTAs so just Unlock bootloader using HASOON's Method. I think it is the easiest. you could try adb if you are comfortable with it. Use goomanager to get TWRP. any other method will be a lot more complex. then have all the rooted privileges without loosing stock. Just make sure to lock bootloader before getting an OTA. thats all.
PS: The above it just speculation from my own reading through the forums. I was on a rooted stock system for a while and it worked fine. Theoretically what I have mentioned should work but post it on some of the dev forums to get a proper reply!
I have a Craig cmp745e and have rooted it and installed cwm. I have found a custom ROM that loads and runs quite nice, the only problem is my touchscreen doesn't work. My question is there a way to get the drivers for my screen off my tablet and make them work with a different rom?

This symptom is exhibited if you flash the wrong kernel for your device, thereby making the touchscreen not to respond. However the hardware buttons might respond. Flash the right kernel for your device.:good:
I'm pretty sure I got the right kernel, I found that the screen works its just off by several inches. I used the stock kernel posted somewhere on here. Before I used the stock kernel I couldn't even get it to load so I think its the right kernel.

This might be due to a wrong dpi setting of the rom that doesn't match your device's display hardware . You can use an app that changes the dpi setting back to its stock value. Since it is a custom rom, maybe it might have an option to change the dpi in settings.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since it is off by several inches, it might be difficult to use an app to change the dpi. Its better to edit the rom package zip using a computer to change the dpi back to stock value and again flash this modified zip in CWM.
Follow these steps to edit the custom rom zip file
1. Copy the zip file to the computer and open it using winrar (no need to extract)
2. Navigate to System folder
3. Open the file name build.prop using notepad.
4. Scroll down and under 'Additional_build_properties' look for the line ro.sf.lcd_density = xxx
Replace xxx with stock value and save it.
5. Save the zip for the changes made to be merged.
6. Transfer it to your sd card and flash it.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks! I can't wait to try it. The wireless keyboard I have works great so I'll try to set it from the device.. ..do you think an LCD density app would help of there is no option within the rom?

A wrong dpi setting makes the displayed objects to appear shifted and not all objects will be visible. Hence ensure that you have the stock dpi value.
I tried it with a LCD density app, no matter what I set it to the touch was way off and always by the same amount. I could see the coins and keyboard change size but the screen was off by the same amount each time.

This might be a bug in the custom rom you have used. Ckeck to see if this is a known issue from the site you have downloaded the rom. Perhaps they might provide a fix or an update.

Have you found any solution yet? Im having the same problem with the screen being off by several inches even with the stock image from the craig website flashed back on it.
same with me it started after i flashed the kernal from the craig website.
I never flashed the kernel from the Craig website. I used a rom I had found here. Before I flashed a new rom I used the online nandroid backup app. After I flashed the new rom had the same screen problems. The cwm recovery was installed with the rom and with the help of a cheap wireless keyboard I was able to use my nandroid backup to restore my backup. After it was restored my tab was working fine and I have cwm. Now I'm just trying different things hoping to find a cm rom that will work.

My sidekick has been recently just replaying the start-up screen. Once in a while it'll fully boot but then it just shuts off after a few seconds. I haven't messed around with it at all so I can't think of what may be causing this. If anyone could help that would be amazing. Thanks a lot!
Could be many things, if you debugging enabled try to get a logcat. Or if you don't mind loosing your data use hiemdall or Odin to flash back to stock fully

Nope, just put phone in download mode. If unfamiliar on how to use this I suggest hiemdall, Adam Outler made a one click hiemdall package which you can find in the first page or so of developer section, very very easy to use

If you need text or anything "backup your mobile" or something like that works amazing

Some users also have had issues with the display ribbon cable coming loose at the hinge. You may also want to check out your battery..
Did you install any new software? There are apps out there that will cause boot loops on Froyo/Gingerbread.
Good luck. I miss the keyboard on my Sidekick, but I don't miss that crummy Samsung abomination that powers it.
