faithclin: Those of you scared of flashing roms... Just download mobile odin. Easiest tool out there... I Have even used it to flash even stock rom for a friend...Personally, I don't trust mobile ODIN and have never used it! But i know it works, as many people use it. But I don't and I won't ![]() About rooting, My S2 - Few days after purchase My S3 - Less than 5 minutes out of the box (Flashed a PRE-Rooted updated .tar Stock ROM) My S4 - 1 minute out of the box ( LIKE A BOSS! )Deblow: What is EFS folder and where exactly is it located on the storage?EFS: All of the Samsung Android devices comes with the EFS folder which is contains 'SPECIFIC' information of the phone like IMEI, product code, etc. So, this EFS folder is very important to make a backup. EFS folder can be found in the 'MAIN ROOT' of the phone. this is the path / Lol. Yes, just dat! The main root as I said! Which also means you must be rooted and using a third-party file explorer like Root Explorer (It is a Paid app! And it's My Favorite and the best) or ES File Explorer (FREE App! Very good too). U can do a quick backup by copying the whole folder and pasting it in ur ExternalSd card, or a safe area in the InternalSd. However, restoring (replacing the files by copy/paste) with this method is not the most reliable, as I have only tested it personally on S3 and Note 2. Not even on S4 (tho it should work). Cheers! |

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOTH S3 AND S4 Just make sure you have downloaded the right zip! Don't go and flash it on AT&T, T-mobile and the rest ohh! Ehen! Only I9300 and I9500. Settings > About Phone. Check to be sure of ur model Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or check-boxes that are not listed below to touch! - Download Odin3 v3.04 (Google search) - Download and unzip the correct zip file for ur phone model (I posted ones for International I9300 and I9500 above already) - If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one - (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer - Start Odin3 v3.04 - Click the PDA button, and select '.tar' file - Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolumeDown + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button. in this case its VolumeUp button) - (USB) Connect the phone to your computer - Make sure Repartition is NOT ticked - Click the 'Start' button - You will get a 'Pass' message - Wait for Android to reboot - Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!) CONGRATS, YOU ARE ROOTED! Cheers! ![]() |

Young po413: messenger na messenger,there is nothing special about bbm,all na to send and receive msgs. Hotdiamond: well said. sometimes I wonder why people feel high when they use bbm . the bottom line is 'send and receive messages'It's more about the device than the messenger, the idea is BBM is the thing that makes Blackberry stand out, Yes? Now that it is lost, R.I.P BLACKBERRY. Who will still buy a blackberry phone when u can have BBM on an Android phone? |

Karmanje: I got it registered after 10 days of purchase, please any idea on the time frame for repairs, that's numbers of days to get it fixed.My friends had his S4 screen replaced in about 11 days i think! ![]() [quote author=acidosis™]It takes Tecno NOTHING to furnish a 6GB of RAM device + other higher specs (@ a reduced price ofcourse) [/quote]You techno Fanboys have overtaken the Apple Fanboys to be the most annoying group of people. And the worst part is dat techno has not even one solid high-end mobile phone!caukerzee: These tecno kids and their gross display of inferiority complex on every samsung thread. Anyway, till today, tecno has not managed a high end device. Even their flagship doesnt beat a galaxy s2 from 2011. All tecno does is to copy and paste specs of older and former flagships of leading brands, make theirs with cheaper and substandard build, then dumb their craps in guliable 3rd world countries for poor people like you who are concerned about price alone.Lmao! This nyucca went hard on em MoFos! ![]() krugar07: The Galaxy Note 3 Exynos varient is the one coming to Nigeria. Lets Just hope its the revamped one. I guess the 3gb ram is to make it a future proof device unlike what happened with the S3.Actually, yes.. Nigeria will get the 3G one as we don't have 4G LTE, and yes, 3GB LPDDR3 RAM is more than enough power. And if what Sammy says about it having 'pc-like' performance is true, then Note 3 users are in for a threat! ![]() |

Karmanje: please with regards to S4 warranty, is one paying for the screen or it's completely free of charge? ie the part (screen) and the repairs. Ur response will be highly appreciated.If you registered for ADH within the first one month after purchase, then you will get ur FREE screen/motherboard replacement twice. If not, phone will be said to be Grey market item and won't be considered. ![]() |

Might be the rom I'm flashing, can u link me to another rom Pls?U don't have to 'RE-ROOT' a custom ROM. You only 'RE-ROOT' when you flash a stock ROM in ODIN. |
Mannylex: Wow! Wonderful thread. And to think I have Been scrolling past it all this while. Stanley you are doing a good job here.FINALLY! Someone who appreciates my work! Cheers mate. ![]() Mannylex: Stanley, need your help. Never been on a custom rom before, but would like to try out one. Please which is the best custom rom and kernel I could use? and please help out with the steps I could use in flashing one. I use an S2 and currently run stock jelly bean 4.1.2... Would be expecting your response. Thanks.Here is my guide on flashing custom ROMs mate! And while there is no such thing as the 'Best ROM' really, because many of them are good, and there are basically 4 types of ROMs, maybe even more 1. Custom Stock which is optimised/tweaked stock ROMs and my FAV! 2. AOSP (Android Open Source Project) which is untouched Android ROM, straight from Google, the way it was planned to be. ![]() 3. AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) blah blah - I hate it, I don't even really know much bout it. 4. MIUI ROMs - I don't really know how to describe them, but they give dat kinda iPhoney feel -ish ANYWAYS! I am part of the two best Samsung ROM makers teams in the world. ![]() I recommend NEAT ROM Lite - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686 And OMEGA ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489197 CHEERS!!! ![]() holar37: pls, is there anybody in the house that can help with s3 rooting and hd games in Abk?Only if you have International GT-I9300 S3 then download, extract and flash the .tarfile in the zip I will post below; using 'PDA' option in ODIN to root ur phone. Don't know what PDA or ODIN or all the rubbish i'm talking about is? Read up first few pages! But instead of stock ROM, just flash this below! Cheers! Remember! ONLY GT-I9300 INTERNATIONAL VERSION, If you come back and say ur phone was not I9300 and you brick ur phone, I will Laugh at you.http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip |
caukerzee: App developers will surely be working on some powerful large RAM draining apps. 2gb RAM just last year was deemed surplus. Now it ain't.Actually! On my S4, I almost always have 1GB+ FREE RAM. ![]() |
sheelay: Pls, boss, I flashed d new Cm 10.2 4.3 custom rom on my s2, but to my surprise, I downloaded titanium backup so I could restore my apps, and it kept telling me that I don't have root access, even when I downloaded super su, what could be wrong Pls? And do I need to re-root?Maybe you need busybox, i don't know.. Try installing busybox, open it and click install also, then reboot phone.. Busybox - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox gbozy: @nani nd @Stanley thanks rooted my phone yesterday successfully it was fast nd less technical dat wat I experienced wit my HTC g2....so wats up Droid vpn anyone using it?I'm in Accra, none of that working for me here right now... ![]() |
JeffreyJamez: Wetin be the price naaaaaaa make I know wetin to dey sell.... 3GB ram!! OLUWA O!!!!Dude, don't compare 3GB RAM of PC to 3GB RAM of a phone, even tho it is LPDDR3, you will only be fooling urself. However, Free RAM is wasted RAM as it is not doing any work. -_- But yes, it is a powerful phone! 9jadelta: That's one powerful phoneIt sure is! |
kardinalz: @stanely pls help,ma sgs3 does nt connect to hotspot from other deviece like nokia fonesDude! These phones are sharing the connection as Adhoc and not AccessPoint (AP) if you can connect to regular WiFi routers then you are fine. And why do people keep calling me STANELY?!!! MY NAME IS STANLEY! |
Emekayoung: Give me reasons why u claim it's the best.I won't get technical with this issue, but BBM is more secure and has more content. Do you know that every content you send through whatsapp can be accessed by the people at whatsapp in California?! No! It's not same for BBM, in fact LAI LAI! . Anyways, whatsapp has advantage because it is cross-platform. Lets wait till BBM goes cross platform then we will see if it lives or dies! ![]() |
