few questions?
did you create a backup of your original rom before you flashed this one?
do you know how to odin back to stock?

ya but it brought me back to recovery so i flashed my backup got it rebooted and working but why didnt it work as a new rom i made i used that 2.3.6 as my base

Could be that there was something missing.

Yeah I'm not sure what went on because I've flashed a few ROMS and tweaks on my phone with no problem. I'm not sure what went on with the ported ICS ROM

Do not flash unstable roms. I usually wait for official stable roms and making a nand backup before doing anything.
Thank you all guys. My phone successfully turned on...Thanks again
If you want to use the skyrocket port use DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE! I was having the same problem then i started from scratch, did the super wipe, installed the skyrocket rom and it runs perfect for me.

Good to hear man, glad you got it working again. it would be way too expensive of a paperweight if you were unable to flash it back.
Yeah I was worried I would have to just buy a new one. But thanks to you guys I got it working

Note for future: use the backup feature in recover before flashing things you aren't sure of.
The backup in recovery is referred to as a nandroid if you didn't know already, it will always bring you back to exactly how your phone previously was. This way you won't have to ever ODIN to stock.

Need help

I have the TMobile Galaxy s3 rooted on most recent stock firmware. I installed a new font using rom toolbox after backing up firmware with TWRP, so it though. After installing the font I got a message telling me to reboot for changes to take effect. Reboot hangs at the glowing Samsung logo. I have rebooted in to recovery and it comes up with CWM recovery vice TWRP some how? I know I flashed TWRP through rom toolbox but it didn't take apparently. I did get a message that backup was successful. CWM will not recognize TWRP backup. I need a flashable zip for the correct TWRP recovery. Could someone please point me in the right direction for the TWRP recovery file or to get me out of this boot loop. Should I just flash the stock firmware?
If you dl the tool all the recoverys
Are in there just flash team wins recovery thru Odin

When you install it and choose for the custom recovery it will open Odin and ull have I think 3 options for the T-Mobile s3 just choose the teamwinsrecory I think its the last one on the list and flash it thru Odin: ) hope it helps out

I was able to get the team win recovery but the backup I made did not show up there either. I guess I will have to flash the stock rom and start over again. I don't know what I did wrong, thought I had backed up with TWRP. Kinda weird how stock recovery comes back after a new one is flashed. If I reboot into recovery now I get stock after being able to access TWRP and rebooting. Next time I go in I am back in stock? Don't know I will have to find a fix after I get back to stock.

That happen to me but it was my fault I backed up and didn't check file size the folder was there but it was empty, just start over and make sure ur backups are there you should be able to just flash a rom if u have a card reader to transfer files onto SD card, that's what I did and I was back at it phone working 20 mins later

I'll give it a shot. What rom would you recommend? I was just rooted on stock b4. I was thinking about the Frosty JB rom.

Maybe Using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682 tool picking your right device and the build select rooting (If not there the highest build should work) . then pick flashing custom recovery. I prefer CWM . work for a few times in the pass. and you should be fine to go back to recovery wipe and flash something else or Odin to stock and start over. Good Luck :good:
there is a point in trying to fix an issue . that was the type of good help i needed . please someone with a helping heart help a brother over here . thanks

I had a similar issue with the PAC-man ROM initially. The zip file appeared corrupted and I would get the same error message but that issue was resolved. I'd say download a fresh copy of the ROM and reflash.
Like atl said, flash the newest build.

You just need a custom recovery, which on this phone comes with a kernel.. In the ROM thread you intend to flash. It will tell you the recovery that the ROM should be flashed from...and it will say the kernel that is advised to run with the ROM. Most ROMs come with a custom kernel. Read the OP..or you are going to be the owner of a new shiny coaster.. I personally use the EL29 direct boot kernel to flash ROMs. If you need a how to you can ask and I'll walk you through it..
Tks guy..I will take u up on that offer.. how do I take a screen shot to show u what's installed. .I have agat kernel and recovery gb27..

First tell what ROM you want.. I need to look at the op and change log to make sure it doesn't require any special install requirements

The ROM will have a kernel with it ... You just need to make sure you flash it correctly.. That's why I said what I said in you're previous post.. Tell me what ROM you want and I'll walk you through it.. After you will have a way to flash almost any ROM..

OK... Here's how I flash a ROM.. Hasn't let me down yet. I take no credit for this method.. The info is in xda,buddy..
First...you will need to get all the needed files( ROM, Gapps( for the rom you pick ),EL29 direct boot kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295 ..this is the link to rwilcos repo..scroll down to gb-touch wiz based kernels. Then look for EL 29 direct boot/tar.. You will need the tar.md5 format. Place this tar and the ROM and Gapps on the root of you're internal sdcard( not in a folder ).Also download TD's JB format all zip( if doing a new install of a JB rom.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077277
Second...Now get mobile Odin.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 .. This is a link to a lite version.. Install mobile Odin..You just need it for kernel flashing,so don't need to do the extra download it prompts..
Third... Make sure you have done all the above...
Fourth... Use mobile Odin to flash el29 direct boot kernel..( open mobile Odin..give super user permission..click kernel..click internal sdcard..pick el29 direct boot kernel..scroll down to flash firmware..click..check md5.. Flash.. It will boot to recovery on its own..
Fifth... Once in recovery( push volume up,volume down,volume up..thus will make you're power button the select/enter button.
Sixth...Wipe data,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache( under advanced ).. Go to mounts/storage..and format system ( only system ).. Go back to first screen..( bottom of the page/ Go back ) should have told you this earlier..If flashing a JB rom... go to install from sdcard.. install from internal sdcard.. now pick TD's JB format all zip and flash it.... ( if you choose to install a JB rom and use this JB format all zip. .you don't need to do all the wipes. )But I do them anyway.. clean install.
Seventh... Now pick install from sdcard..install from internal sdcard..now pick the ROM zip file and scroll down to yes..click.. Let it do its thing...After its done. Pick install from internal sdcard again,but this time pick the gapps zip and flash it..When all is done..go back to first page and click reboot..enjoy.. It will take a little bit for the ROM to boot up.. Make a snack and wait..
Don't forget to thank the ROM dev..rwilco..chainfire...and Tdunham..

Very good choice..just as @jdsingle76 said.. The steps I gave you will work perfect for that ROM...Just remember that you need a jelly bean modem..and mobile Odin doesn't flash modems.. So flash the modem of choice in recovery after you flash the ROM. Then you can update you're prl and profile.. Unless you're on a jelly bean modem, I can't remember as I'm writing this but I thought that screen shot had gb27 as you're modem, which Is the latest jb modem..so you'd be good to go..side note. I seen you posted in the thread about better signal..Do not take you're protection off the inside cover of you're phone.. I just looked and you do have a jb modem so you need not worry about flashing a modem...
