[Q] Charge phone while flashing - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I was wondering if it is okay to charge your phone while you are flashing roms???

I do it all the time to be sure my battery won't run down too much. I've never had an issue with doing this. I seem to remember a post somewhere that recommended against it but I don't remember why.

I don't know if it's bad but I personally do it all day long, testing and flashing with phone plugged in, always have with all my phones, could be bad though, but I've never encountered anything.

ive been flashing roms onto my tilt for about a month now... modding it and all that good stuff.. but i made a stupid rookie mistake..

but nothing..
please.. any help or answers would be greatly appreciated..
WHAT DO I DO???
Thank you..

Which ROM? I wasn't aware we had a chef named Phoenix.
I handle PR for a ROM called Phoenix, and this question should be in that thread IF you think it's a problem with that ROM specifically.
aka READ JIMMY'S RULES AT THE TOP OF THE FORUM.
that being said. I flash with the SIM in all the time, so I'm not exactly sure what you have done to your device.
Try a different Radio ROM, not a full ROM, a RADIO ROM.

Kinda makes me think he got it sorted? Yeah you spot on Burns should be in the correct thread
Either that or he's going to seek advice in the actual proper thread.
Now, the guessing game, either Dave or Kareem, I don't see Jimmy or NATF around too horrbily much anymore, though they're still here... hmmm...
Speaking of mods, you know who i haven't seen in a while? ATW.
Hmm...
I flash every new rom made and I have never taken out my sim card when i flash a rom. You need to post your question in the thread that you got the rom from.

See you been pimpin ya ROM out
I just handle the PR, MBV did a lot of the base work, Parley made it work and has been working on it since.
I agree with asfoor (below, I don't feel like putting another post in this thread)
Mods ...please close this thread... Thank you...
Please close this thread.
Yes -- he should ask me...in the right thread. I too never take my sim card out...ever. I flash 10 or 15 times a day when cooking.

need dev help badly

I posted in another forum but I hoped maybe a dev could figure it out
I screwed up big time. I got my nexus s 4g and unlocked and rooted. all was going well and I went the custom rom route and used rom manager to do so. It was g found out after my radio didnt work. I tried to flash back to stock and it did. I found out it was gsm stock and I am a f#cking moron, so I'm stuck on stock, unrooted, no radio and no computer can it now, not the samsung prog, odin, or adb. the usb on pc will charge, but not push data, please can anyone help.
update: I have an epic, could I download the singed rstock rom, rename it update.zip, bluetooth it to the nexus and apply with stock recovery?
Have you tried reinstalling Samsung device drivers? Are you navigating to sdk/tools when you try adb?
This is not a development related topic. Things like this belong in q&a.

i have installed the drivers, and i have it set to cmd from anywhere. The computer cant see it at all
You flashed another phones radio, then propose to flash yet another phones rom to fix it... Dude.. Stop flashing and go read. A lot..
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I have read, right now I am trying to get to stock on my nexus s 4g. I have no way to get files on it, since the usb will no longer transfer data. Thats the problem, I know I scewed up, I want to fix it is the thing
Post this in q&a. Dev is for dev. Unless you are writing code you shouldnt be making new threads here.
You will get help, just address it in the right forum.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Does wifi work? If yes try downloading a rom for your device from your phone directly and flash it within clockwork apk.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
when i flashed the bad stock file it when back to stock recovery
the reason I asked in dev I was wondering it there A, another way to get the usb to work? it wont display even in device manager. or B isthere a way to falsh the correct radio as a signed update.zip?
It needs to be in q&a. Nothing about this thread relates to development. Quit posting, let this die, and ask in q&a. You will get help. You need to read. You need to follow the forum rules and general forum etiquette. If you cannot do that, please leave xda, and go to another forum.

i 100% agree with you that this thread should be closed. but come on now dude, no need to be harsh on the guy. his head is probably all over the place now that the phone is not working let's just understand him.
to OP:
here was a similar thread and a similar problem to yours. apparently the guy could enable USB through clockworkmod recovery and flash a rom for his device.
as i understand you have stock recovery. what you should do is try to install clockwork (through fastboot) and enable usb from there.
N.B after flashing clockwork recovery thrpugh fastboot, do not reboot your phone. just enter recovery directly through bootloader.

thanks for the help but mine cant be seen in fastboot, either. sorry for posting the wrong thread, I just thought a dev may have a flashable radio or a different usb trick

I was nice to begin with. But you also need to quit feeding him. He will keep posting in this thread and not make another one in q&a as long as you keep helping him. He keeps posting, you keep posting. I have no understanding for people not following the rules. They are there to keep xda clean and foster development.

oh come on!! the guy needs help...definitely its a wrong thread in a wrong section..but just help him out...i would suggest him to try fastboot on another computer or so..install fresh drivers and a fresh sdk ..and then try out dude...and it would be much better if u really post your queries on to Q & A section....people will surely help
Jesus Christ give the dude a break. Hes just lookin for some help. Who cares if he made a thread in the wrong place, i dont see how that affects anyone especially the wannabe mods. OP hope u get ur phone workin again, id help u if i could
The only way i know of getting an update.zip/recovery/image over myself is fastboot, (ie: fastboot flash image, fasboot boot) ...without that working i am unsure how to fix your problem.
Regarding the flame wars over the wrong section posting, surely keepign this ontopic and free from gripes until a mod moves it is the best way? (over reacting wierdo's )

[Q] Easiest way to get JB on HOX

Sorry that I am a noob, but I have been reading threads for a couple hours and haven't found a source that will answer my question.
What is the easiest way to get JB on my HOX?
I have ran into some that seem easy but only to find that I need a CID of HTC_xxx where mine is CWS_001. After a post directing me to this forum I have continued to try to find something to help me get JB and no luck. If there is a post that describes this please reply with it, or if anyone would be kind enough to post directions on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry that I am a noob at this, first Android phone, switched from iOS after Apple's disappointing "new phone", aka iPhone 4s with an extra row of icons.
Thanks!

First, you can use this tool to easily root your phone, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426), then flash any JB ROM you like and just follow the instructions.

You have to change your CID from the AT&T default before you can unlock anyway. Once you do that, it doesn't matter anymore.

The CID will be changed to 1111111 before you can unlock your phone and then root, so don't worry about that. Happy flashing!

Ok...all these noobs getting the phone for free are now pissing me off completely. If you want to overcome being a noob, you have to put in time to read and search. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION AT HAND
Being a noob means you should have at least watched the noob video when signing up. If you did not you broke the first rule of XDA and you need to watch it. If you did watch it(which I suspect you did not) you would know to search and read before posting. The community is here to answer questions we all have, but not questions that have been answered over and over again. Nor to spoon feed you.
oh ****...i know whats going to happen after he gets it rooted.......Don't you?? i see a brick coming up from attempting to flash the EVO OTA.
zac507, there is no official jb sense for our phone. someone should of stated that in the first reply shame on ALL of you. if you read his OP you would see he already tried flashing the endeavoru jb rom which is why he got the CID error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044729
Here are GREAT guides for noobs basically from start to finish here. When I was first starting I made a Q&A thread ONLY after reading enough to where I was confused and not confident in going forward without consulting others.....The key here is that you need to read and understand what you are doing first before you ask for help otherwise what good is the help?
Anyways, good luck reading and hopefully everything goes well

Thank you to everyone (except Chef). I will continue to read and do research before rooting or flashing my phone.
Chef, I have read through the forums quite a lot, asked others who have flashed other Android devices and watched many video tutorials on the subject. But before doing anything I wanted to ask a specific question that I did not see in the forums to get a clear and concise answer. Since I PAID for my phone, I do not want to brick it, hence my thread. I suggest you pull your over-inflated tech ego out of your swollen rear and learn to read. I said I was a noob at this. Noobs have questions. People on forums answer questions to help them. You, on the other hand, just act like a prick and contribute nothing to the thread. Thanks for absolutely no helpful information, please stop posting on any forum if this is how you do it.
Again, thank you to everyone else who replied. You were very helpful!

Where do I begin to correct this post?
First, let's start with the fact that you asked "what is the easiest way to get JB on HOX?" Well assuming you read, and searched and etc. you wouldn't need to ask that question considering you would have had the answer already because you in fact read and you would know that you can flash countless JB roms if bootloader unlocked and rooted.
My over inflated tech ego must have got in the way though. Even though you asked a question which is so similar to all the other JB related questions asked on this forum.
Obviously you need to continue to read(skimming and reading are different) considering the fact that you try to run an international RUU on your phone...
I was looking out for your best interest, if you want to take it to a personal level and call me a prick so be it, but I sure hope I help ingrained the fact that you need to read more before tinkering.
I think my rear is swollen I should go lay down
Zac, if you have any trouble or need help I for one would be willing to help, sent you a pm so we don't offend anyone else in here.

Where the heck is "over there"? I assume some other device.
If somebody with 400+ posts on here doesn't get the purpose of custom ROMs, what the heck have you been doing here all this time?

I lost my imei when flashing stock rooted rom

im sorry if this is the wrong place to post...but the other parts of this forum dont get enough traffic.
I lost my imei when flashing stock rooted rom. I made a backup but when the phone restarted..the backups got erased. I dont know why this happend!! this is the worst case scenario. I tried flashing the stock rom from samsung dot com via odin....my imei still isnt restored!!
any other way i can get my imei restored even though i dont have a backup?? thanks in advancee
maybe this thread can help others with similar issues

I can understand why you would be peeved. But i used the search function. and found multiple ways of solving my problem. But none of which worked for me.
I was installing paid apps in other tutorials to try and fix my imei issue, and ended up with deadend after deadend. and furthermore..most of the guides werent specific to my phone. I didnt want to make my phone a "superbrick". I knew better than to post in the dev section...but i acted purely out of fustration and desperation. the user "orange808" was kind enough to point me in the right direction.
i know that doesnt justify it...but it wont happen again! i apologize
I appreciate all the devs hard work on this phone.

With this attitude no one will you help you. Help yourself and others on XDA and just don't root or do any other customizations to your phones. The answers to your issues are in the forums, but if you are not willing to do the research and reading required to fix issues that arise (your questions have been discussed thoroughly by the way), save yourself the time and trouble.
I have reported your second post to moderators. Foul language is not necessary and will not get you anywhere here.

Glad to hear you got it working. One major recommendation: edit your post where you used bad language. Better if you take responsibility and clean it up then a moderator. Second, as you have done, always report that your problem is resolved if it has been. If possible, details of what you did is always good to share as it may help others.
Here is what I will tell you. This is not a support site. This is a developers site. Which means if you come off rude, unprepared or didnt do your proper research then you will most likely be ignored. This site is hear for you to learn something and then learn to fix things on your own. Not to get tech support.
Take this as a lesson as this post could have easily gotten you banned.
