[Q] Flashing of any JB ROM fails

Hey wonderful people of XDA,
I picked up an S3 yesterday and rooted it no problem. I can install ICS roms fine, but CWM errors out when trying to flash a JB rom (I have included a pic to show exactly what I mean)
It is a Telus S3, but from what I've experienced before with rooting, AT&T should work as well. However, correct me if I am wrong.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Read that. It talks about error 7, although they said they fixed it. The first time I tried to flash AOKP that happened and I just rewiped everything and tried again and it worked.

Thank you! I'll check it out

I had same problem I just updates to 5.8.4.7 and it worked fine, make sure to fully wipe

Cleaning up Custom Kernel flashes

Okay lets say im on stock everythings 100% stock and i want to flash a custom recovery kernel that has init.d support, custom boot ani support, and add blocking ect..... ok so i flash it lets say........then i lets say i revert back to my stock recovery and kernel......okay now here is the question.......is there anyway i can clean up what the custom kernel installs? Is there a need to clean up? I want to add my own tweaks so i dont want anything bumping code or have multiple code in my phone i want it nice and clean.
Thank you

Your question is confusing but bottom line if you want to start fresh do a clean installation.
Why anybody here would want a stock setup is beyond my comprehension.

Exactly my point i want it fresh and ill do my own thing but i need these custom recovery kernels to gain root or when i need to flash a zip in cwm so after im done kernel riding somebody else is work please take all the belonings with you brought with you when i flash you out. Its in view of my comprehension that these builds dont have a fresh way to gain root access for example like using one click root or an apk to root. they made them in the past before for us sgs2 users.

Use a pre-rooted Odin one click and you get root w/o recovery. There are rooted 1clicks all the way thru fi27. If u use a no-data version all your apps and settings will remain after flash.

Ok now I understand a little more what you want. I think you should spend more time reading and browsing the development sections for more info. I think Agat63 has been packaging stock kernels lately for those who prefer this.

lol yea.. theres plenty of ways. ifor one use mobile odin whenever i need to fllash a kernel.. you can switch between all the kernels you want and maintain root

[Q] Where's this Phone At?

Ok so I just got this D710 Epic 4G touch. With some of the info I have read I'm guessing that it's kinda easy to brick these if you use the wrong method to flash a rom if it's before the source release & I'm not sure about where this phone is at. It has the Leaked(FF02) ICS Rom & Stock Recovery on it. I am not sure when this was released.
What I want to do is put phone on a good stable stock rom that everything works to get a good base & nandroid backup. Then I want to go to a good stable ICS or JB rom for my daily driver. Can I just Odin a OTA Stock Debloated Rooted Rom back it up then go from there?
Right now this phone's radio will turn off for a few seconds at times. This morning my phone rang so I answered it that's when the phone's radio turned off so that made me hang up on a Customer when I answered the Phone=NOT GOOD
I want/need something that fully works. Like the GPS works & the radio don't turn off n all that jazz.

A daily driver stock JB ROM will be leaked at some point today. Rooted versions also in the works. Keep an eye out for FK23 threads.

Also the radio problem looks like the eg30 radio. There was massive loss of signal on that one. Try something more updated. Like fi27 modem.

Thanks
:good: Alright thank you guys.
So I can flash what ever rom I want using the one click odin method? Like this Stock rooted rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

I personally would look for fI27 but yes. And one click is always recommend if your not 100 percent sure of what your doing.

[Q] What Next after rooting

Just want to say this my first time rooting a device etc, this is pretty new to me. So I followed the steps in this thread to root my totally stock Sprint LGOG ZV9. I rooted with no problem. No I just want to know do I need to backup my current config, what software would I use. Also was the boot loader unlocked. I Just want to make sure that I do exactly what is supposed to be done correctly. Are there custom roms for lgog currently.
Just an image showing phone was rooted

I am assuming this software was installed when I rooted the phone
Phone firmware info
Oh just figured Id show some great 4g speeds I get from Sprint at my house !! These speeds are very consistent at my house and you can see there isnt anu WIFI on just my Sprint Data. I am moving in the next month or so though. Its crazy where internet speed has come in the last 10 years.

4.1.2 Jelly Bean has been released for this phone now, I'd start by getting that. check out the LGOG development forums to flash a stock version of it or I think Lifeless ROM also has Jelly Bean incorporated now.

After rooting you can choose to unlock your bootloader to flash better code or custom roms to your device, or download and run apps that would require root like root explorer or setcpu to change how your device works.
Unlocking is a whole different ballgame. It allows to flash custom kernels and roms. Like spatel said, 4.1.2 is out and if you unlock and flash TWRP or CWM, you can make a backup of your current phone system, data, efs, cache and then flash 4.1.2 to your phone to see if you like it or not. You can flash the new ZVB radio and possibly improve your signal. It all depends on what your comfortable with. Also, it depends on your interests and whether you're into theming or developing and rooting is just one of those precursors.
Currently there are a few roms based on stock but some AOSP roms will follow now that some source is available to developers. From what I understand, the efs contains important device info and is currently breaking with AOSP roms attempts but I'm sure the devs are making progress on it. If anything check the threads and stickies for a lot more info. There's a wealth of info out there and Google is your friend lol

Thanx for the info

Trying to return to stock. (Virgin Mobile)

Hi all, I rooted my S2 a while back and am looking to un-do everything and return to stock. Have had way too many issues and am far too busy with work and my son to do the proper research as far as debugging and etc.
I have the Virgin Mobile S2. Android 4.1.2. Baseband- S710.10 S.GB28. Kernal version- 3.0.75+ AGAT GB_27_kernal #v1.4.2 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 2 and am on Project X v3.1
I just want to completely return to stock and then I am going to re-root and stay stock with no custom kernal or ROM. I have lost my backups. I don't mind starting from scratch. Any help is MUCH APPRECIATED. Thing is just buggy as hell these days.

So, Just to be clear, I can simply flash any stock rom from where I am now and be good to go?

Well obviously I don't want ANY. I will use the Stock GB28 Virgin one. But that is all I have to do, correct? Just go into download mode and run the one click that I get from the link in that post? And *poof* I am back to being completely stock?
Sorry but I am a noob and this phone's development is way over my head. Just wanna get this thing back to how it was when I bought it and leave it alone lol

I am so sorry to be a nuisance. But if my assumptions are correct, When I go to download the one click there is one that says rooted and one that says unrooted. I am currently rooted. Does that mean I click the rooted button? I am just confused as to if it says rooted bc it is for rooted people, or bc it is for people who want to be rooted lol last question I promise. I am ready to get this over with!

SUCCESS.

Sorry, I was at work. Glad you got it.

No problem! It's amazing how much better my phone is now. Makes me want to try flashing something again because I must have had a bad flash or something. Really everything worked great besides my camera but with a 3 year old son, having no camera is a big no-no for me! It was really strange.
