Touchwiz ROM issue

So I'm coming from cm10 on my phone. I have tried to install to touchwiz base roms and after installing the screen turns black right after the boot screen that says galaxy s3. Wondering why? Any tips?
Has happened in two romz. Wiped everything prior to. I am able to flash and run aosp Roms without issue. Running the latest cwm

AOSP kernel maybe? I know some (all?) of the stock based ROMs don't flash a kernel. Just a guess, haven't gone from AOSP to stock.

Do you have a nandroid of a touchwhiz rom ? I go back and fourth to cm10 to my stock nandroid backup without issue. Try that.

It looks like I need to flash a Touchwiz kernel, you are right. That fixed it. Thanks!

What kernel did you use?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Kernel was on my mind today since I went from WanamLite to DietICS and suddenly WiFi stopped working. It was because I had flashed the faux123 kernel while on WanamLite and had to reflash it after going to DietICS. Little things I'll eventually get used to!

Yep definitely kernel, would a said so immediately as I had same issue. Always be weary of the kernel u have installed when flashing to new or different rom as many roms dont have a kernel with them. And many custom kernels will cause this issue. U got it figured out anyways so live and learn and keep it in mind for future

[Q] No 3g or pic messaging or swype

So i have a epic 4gt. Ive tried a few different roms 4.2.2 and everyone i try i don't get any 3g, no swipe, and cant send or receive pic mail through mms, and also volume seems to be way lower then stock. Idk if i did something wrong? idk pls help thanks so much. I personally don't think its a rom...im leaning more towards my phone...its kinda rare that all roms i try are the same.

@firechickenmatt
Make sure that you have a ICS modem, unfortunately on AOSP, the volume is low, and the AOSP keyboard does have gesture typing, but it doesn't come with the swipe keyboard

And if you bounce back between AOSP, CM, and Tw, make sure you change modems according to the dev's instructions. Data won't work on jb roms with ics modems, same as it won't work on aosp and cm with a jb modem.

Settings/about phone/baseband version. Should be able to take it from there
Sent from my SPH-D710BST using xda premium

Yea, the JB update has a jb modem (GB27), ICS modems (FI27, FL24....etc,etc,) don't worry, if you go to rwilco12's android repository, they have all the modems, and there categorised by type, ( GB,ICS and JB)

OK well went back to stock for a while...but same thing happening lol I can't win...every time I turn off WiFi no signal (3g)...and I'm guessing I have jb modem hence the gb27

What Rom? What baseband version?

I'm having same problem. Im using Mobile Odin. I've used every gb27 version on rwilco's site same results... No data. Went back to ics got data back. My usb port is bad so I can only use mobile Odin right now.
PS everything stock only root added. Just bounced from fl24 to gb28 and back

That's because you can't flash modems using Mobile Odin on our device. You'll have to flash a custom kernel using mobile Odin and then flash the jb modem in cwm.

Cwm is clockwork mod...don't flash anything before you read a whole lot. There is a guide by VeNuM about CWM....

You cannot use mobile odin to flash modems. You'll have to download a zip and flash via cwm (recovery). :thumbup:

I hate to say this, but if you don't know what CWM is, you are a noob. You need to spend some time reading before you touch anything else on your device.

brain fart it hit me right after i hit send. but i still need a suggestion on a kernel that will work. again i'm doing everything modin odin since i have no USB functionality.
i've never used CWM but i have read about it i have rooted every phone i have own, sticking mostly to stock roms for compatibility issues since i kept reading about this and that not working in this rom or that rom. but things have gotten so much better. i'm ready to explore. i'm running stock ICS and want to get some JB action on my SG2 epic touch. then again i may just upgrade to the SG4 and have the port fixed put it to stock and ebay it

I think I mentioned this to you before. You can't use Mobile Odin to flash modems. It won't work. Are you on a stock jelly bean rom? Stock ics rom? If you are on fl24 rom, use fl24 modem. If you are on gb28 rom, you have to use jb modem. If your usb doesn't work, flash a custom recovery with mobile Odin, boot into recovery, and flash modems that way. Just ensure you have a stock kernel(or custom) of the same build you currently have on your phone in zip format saved to your phone before flashing custom recovery.

Having trouble and need help.

So I am having trouble flashing a new ROM I have done it in the past and am used to doing it so I know what needs to be done. When I download a ROM I want to use I download it to my phone directly then I reboot into recovery I have the latest twrp version and I wipe everything then I go to install the ROM and after about 2 seconds it says failed. No matter what ROM I try it does this and I've tried downloading them several times thinking it was a bad download. I was able to install a stock one but I don't like stock and none of the others are working I don't known if I'm doing something wrong or if its my phone but help me please. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct TWRP Recovery for your phone?

Yes I am. It was doing it on an older version I had so I thought it was cause I hadn't updated in a while and it still kept doing it after I updated.

Hi there
1) Are you from Canada and using a Canadian Recovery for d2can? if so this could be a problem since many updater-scripts see this a fail since they are looking for d2att
2) What ROM's are you trying to flash? AOSP or Stock based touchwiz rom's?
also I would like to direct you to the Q&A, Help and troubleshooting forum, in the event that this post get's moved, you will find it there. They are busy people, but now you know no hard feeling man, just trying to make their job's easier!
cheers

Airplane Mode

Hello everyone, this is my first post here
I have a frustrating problem. Yesterday i update my Galaxy Ace 2 from 2.3.6 to Unofficial Cyanogenmod 10, everything was good.
But on first up i get A LOT of "radio has been granted superuser permissions" and i saw that i dont have any GSM signal.
Anyone knows what i do wrong?
PS. I also have a problem with Airplane mode, i just cant turn it off.. everytime i try its getting ON by itself.. ofcourse because of that i cant do any SMS and Calls (and maybe this is why i dont have any signal).
Please, help me.
Sorry for my english

Have you installed stock samsung JB before installing CM10? You have to do it before installing CM10/10.1.

No, i install CM10 on stock 2.3.6. So i have to flash samsung JB first?

Yeah, you basically flashed a whole new android version that was completely different to 2.3.6, get Odin, flash the latest 4.1.2 stock firmware, root it, then get CyanogenMod again

Okey, i will do this.
Can i use Heimdall (linux) instead of Odin?

The different Android version isn't the problem. On my old Xperia X8 we had officially only Eclair and all the custom ROMs (CM6, CM7, CM9, CM10) worked without problems. The problem here is that Samsung most probably changed some stuff in modem in the JB update (and hence the RIL doesn't work when you install CM10/10.1 on top of GB).
@derester: Yes, if you know how to use it.

Thank you guys!
It worked .
It was loong road to get it work, but im happy now

[Q] [HELP] No gps on kitkat roms

Ive been searching and i cant seem to find anything that helps :/ Any kitkat rom that i have tried so far i cant get my GPS to work. Everything else works with no issues just no gps. I have tried using the stock kernels that have came with the rom and also Devil2 kernel. I've done clean install's of the roms as well. I would truly appreciate it if anyone has any ideas on how to get it fixed. Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem even after going back to tw roms, I ended up doing a full unroot with Odin and doing the root process all over again. Now my GPS is working again.

Well i finally used mobile odin and flashed back to 4.1.2 and that did the trick. Im now back to using a 4.4 kit kat rom and GPS and everything works with no issues. Thanks for the help guys!

Was having the issue with GPS as well.. tried to go back to twrp backup of 4.3 (stock ota) with no success.
Followed these steps to get to 4.1.1 via odin and it's working again.
