Anyone else new here after the BMF1 update? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I had an EVO for a little over 2 years and I rooted that the first day I got it. Since I got my GS3, that swipe to call / text feature made me love the stock ROM so much I never thought I'd leave it. Now that they took that away with the latest update, I'm rooting to a stock Android ROM today. Am I the only one that's made this switch? Any chance there's a stock ROM with that feature? I kind of yearn for it now that it's gone.

I don't think it's gone on the new update.

Yes. I think the position where you start the swipe has changed. Not sure if it works on all other Roms, I run rooted-stock.

where did i mess up to get this verizon unauthorized message?

i had a stock rom...rooted it, then went to install one of the roms from the website here and the custom kernel...now i keep getting this lame message...detected unauthorized software please take your phone to a verizon store. what am i doing wrong here??
Are you trying to use odin or have you flashed a custom recovery, cm or twrp?

I'm guessing you didn't use the right recovery to flash a kernel. What recovery did you use.
Sent from my Synergized vzw SGS3
This really should be in the general discussions not in development. At the leased it should be in a post in the development for the ROM you were trying.
Probably just didn't use Kexec
You didn't read the OP of whatever it was you were doing.
Time to download stock images to odin

Way too many d-bags on XDA. Yes, he posted in the wrong forum, now he knows and I'm sure a mod will move it. Saying it over and over again and being a d-bag while doing it, doesn't help anyone.
OP, as others have stated, you are probably best off going back to a stock rom from Odin and ensuring you have a proper recovery flashed. Then start over with whatever it was you were trying to do.

really, what a DB (probably doesn't know the answer anyway).
I hate it when posters can't just help someone out.
wow!!!
lol wow guys, i didnt check this for a few days and honestly i will probably never post here again. i downloaded ez-recovery as i was told to do in many posts. i installed a kexec recovery...cwm 6.0.1.0. i followed the instructions in the synergy rom page and installed it through cwm. i then downloaded the Imoseyons Lean Kernel and installed it in cwm, rebooted and received the error message.
i have flashed several roms and recoveries over the years with the droid inc, droid inc2. and now the samsung. sorry to start a flame war. i will not post here again. i was simply trying to help report issues to developers.
good day.

Looks like Adam has combined a bunch of the best root & recovery tools into one easy to use package. The DebugFS root is also available separately here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342

Depends on the root method. If this replaces the rom then yeah you will lose everything, but if you use this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342
then you will not have to change anything and it's pretty straight forward.

I had to do a factory reset on my phone yesterday to troubleshoot another issue, so I can't say 100% but the few changes I made earlier today (wallpaper, lock screen shortcuts, ringtones, installed Pandora) stayed in place. From the script, it just copies files over and then moves them to system partition during next couple boots. It does not wipe data / cache / dalvik like when you load a new ROM.
I don't know about the java tool here but the one Aquila mentioned ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342 ) works perfectly.
You won't lose settings or have to clear anything. Its really useful if you're on the VRALG1 firmwares and don't want to revert to LF2 from flashing a rooted ROM.
I downloaded to my pc, then hooked up my gs3 nothing? What an I suppose to do?
Never mind it worked

Should move this Thread to the development section. And let the Devs tell us if this is good or not, Pros and cons.
just noticed that Adam is a dev.but should move to development so it can be seen more!!
This tool works well without loss to data...of course no one but you is responsible if something goes wrong but from what I see it uses the debug method I have used it and obtained root fine

I'm going to go ahead and say it...
Adam posted this in the development thread where they are working on cracking the bootloader. If he wanted the masses to be using it or if it was ready for the masses to use he would have posted it outside of that thread.
I don't know if it was bc of this thread or not, but this got picked up by droid life and he had to take it down off the R&D thread.
Stuff like this shouldn't be reposted outside of that thread until it is ready and the dev who came up with it says it is ok to do so (or just posts it himself).

I have to agree with the op. Threads not in development get overlooked quickly. They fall of the radar fast. I have a way to do this on stock TW without flashing files and going back to your back up, etc. But just like this guy, getting bashed for the wrong area, I'm apprehensive about posting my results. Is the fix app related? Development? General? Depends on who you talk to. Once I get a solid answer from a moderator, I will post my finds.
EDIT: I feel personally the fix should go in development. A lot of people are asking for this in all the ROMs.

The problem is if everyone posts there question in development then it still become like q & a and we won't be able to find actual development. I gave the op the answer. All you do is flash it in cwm and then it there will be a setting in the stock messaging app.

Some people may be stock rooted. May not have custom recovery. They may be happy with stock just want the nagging screen on to go away. That's all I'm doing is tweaking the stock ROM. Just FYI.

Well that's a nice tweak. I'm stock rooted myself (now) but I put a recovery on simply to do backups and ensure I don't get an ota. However many point was if they allows questions in the development thread then out will become bogged down like the other sections.

Rooted stock jb tethering question

So I have spent the last 2-3 days combing every respectable forum on the web and can't find an answer to this.
I did the kies update to 4.1.2 and then rooted with SuperuserSU. Now I need to tether. I tried freezing the TetheringProvision 4.06.30 but that didn't work like it did with the Tethering Manager in GB and ICS.
Can someone advise what the issue is?
I would appreciate any assistance you can give.

I have a SII i727 on the ATT network;
Im not sure exactly what you are using for your wifi app but I use Wifi Tether for Root. After updating to JB 4.1.2, I rooted using openrecovery twrp 2.5.0.0. in odin 1.85. I deleted my previous Wifi Tether app and started fresh. I found the following site and directly downloaded/installed the TrevE Mod from the browser in my phone using a Google search. I then followed the instructions from the following;
This is where I would have inserted the link however this site restricts me from doing that since I am a new user. So instead, google search "wifi tether treve mod" and your first hit should be a site from highonandroid dot com. From there, they do all the work.
I can't believe it, but it works on both my ipad and laptop flawless!!! I hope that helps and best of luck to you...
