I fixed my Evo myself.It was a pain and you need to go very slow but doable and beats 100 bucks at Radio Shack.Phone worked perfectly afterwards.

I couldn't get EXUnlock to work so I used Odin to flash the bootloader.tar file.:)

Pretty sure you can just google "best rooted galaxy apps"

I am running Carbon and pretty much loving it.Probably not the best for battery life.Also my gmail seems to get a bit scrambled sometimes and wakeup has a lag occasionally.Other than that it is spot on and blazing fast which is what I was really after.Digging Halo as well. I installed beans and...

Aah nothing like outhinking yourself.I ran an update on Voice search and that now works.I'll try NAV later.It launched correctly doing a quick test.Just different than the old NAV and maybe not in a good way....Thanks for the reply.

Loving this ROM but gapps seem to be severely crippled.Voice Search and Nav are a no go.I wiped everything and re-flashed gapps with a new download.Same deal.Obviously a deal breaker. Anyone else run into this?Really wanna rescue this ROM it is awesome. Android 4.2.2 Baseband I535VRLG1 Kernel...

I was actually able to get into download mode and go back to stock.I am now finally rooted and running Jelly Bean.Lots of options but stock may be a little smoother.I'll keep playing around.synergy sounds interesting and Clean may be for me as well.I just want fast,no ads and stable.Of course...

So yeah maybe some of you have seen my previous posts.I was unable to root after getting my S3 from verizon a few days ago,I believe because the OTA installed automatically while I was driving home.Then I booted into recovery,did a factory reset and I was able to follow method 2 in the rooting...

OK got a little hysterical there but for folks out there just getting S3's-as I suspected the OTA that automatically downloads when you activate the S3 is what hoses this process.I followed step 2 to the letter BEFORE that OTA bullcrap had a chance to run and it was smooth and simple.I am now...

I was able to boot into recovery (Home-Volume Up-Power) and do a factory reset. I am done with rooting!

Followed the steps in the sticky to flash the phone back to stock since trying to root failed and seemed to mess up Nav. I used the Odin with PC method and everything worked exactly as in the video only when the phone was supposed to reboot it just stays permanently on the 4G LTE screen with the...

Ok this is very bad- Using ODIN to Unroot... Computer required (PC): Everything completed just as shown in the video no errors whatsoever but now the phone is permanently stuck at the 4G LTE screen with the flashing rainbow.Please Help!!!

Yes all options are checked.I tried option #2 today and the RootDebugfs completed but errors were running across the screen the whole time.Permission denied.I have the Superuser app now but I can't unlock bootloader.Tells me I am not rooted.I re-booted and tried to unlock bootloader again,no...

I have the appropriate options checked debugging etc and the PC recognizes the phone.I can browse,drag and drop etc. but Casual will not see the device whether I am connected as an installer or media device or camera. Any suggestions? Model: SCH-J535 Android Version 4.1.2 Baseband: J535VRBMF1...

Ok I was able to flash Amon Ra 2.3 and do a backup.Hopefully I am good now.I guess most custom ROM's will come with Super User baked in.Hopefully because I can't download it anywhere. Thanks for the advice!
