you are going to have to do your homework my friend and get your hands dirty.I see people in here flashing roms from other carriers all the time. The most I see is fixes for mms. Honestly its a great forum but if you want to root your phone then you should also learn how to fix it if something goes wrong. With that said there are plenty of tutorials int he development section. Plenty of wikis in the development section and plenty of questions already asked and answered. Take some time skim through and enjoy.
I could of easily of pointed you in the direction you needed to go but quite honestly finding it yourself and learning a little something is a great start. Not trying to discourage you just trying to get you going the right way...

[Q] FreeGS3 - System Update

I have the following rom:
Team Sonic-FreeGS3 JB v3.0.0
Located Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748818&highlight=freegs3
I have the following custom recovery loaded:
TWRP
The rom started to prompt me today to apply a system update. Is this safe to do since I have a custom recovery? I don't care/want the update to work, obviously, I just want it to quit annoying me
Thank you in advance for your time!

Let it install and fail. Reboot and no more notification

The notification will come back. Naddict has a zip that changes your buikd prop so you won't have the notification anymore.

that didnt help me one bit. first thing that popped up after a reboot was a notice to install update. any other suggestions?

How did that not help ? That has worked on goodness/freezas/ and MOAR ROM. Did you wipe and fix permissions ?

Here is a build prop flashable... Let me know how it goes... Ma6 entries changed to mb1...clear caches and fix permissions....

----
1) Install Zip
2) Clear Cache
3) Fix Permissions
4) Reboot
5) Issue fixed
Is this the correct order?
Thanks.

Sweet! I think I am good to go. I followed the steps and when I booted the phone backup I still had the System Update. I click Install Now on the system update. It thought for a second and then came back and said your phone is up to date. I reboot the phone and now I no longer have the update request.
Thank you again Daniel!

Why is it every time there is an OTA suddenly there are 50 threads and another 100 posts on "what do I do?"
Rule 1 says please search before posting. Using google and adding xda into the search parameters will usually get you at least 1 of the way too many threads and posts on this.
Thanks

Also, when you create a thread (on the PC, that is), XDA automatically does the search for you and gives you suggestions of similar threads to read before posting. I've found a lot of my answers just by trying to create a post and finding the exact thing I was looking for.

In response to the 2 above comments...
Initially I started with the ROM Development Page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748818&highlight=freegs3
I used the "search this thread" to try and find what I was looking for. Towards the end, other people had the same issue and some recommended to just find another rom.
When I couldn't find anything useful on the developer thread I started just to search the development and Q&A sections. I was having a hard time locating anything because I wasn't sure if the suggestions I found would fix all/most roms or were they specific to just a particular rom. Again back to square 1.
I then decided that I would post a question on the developer thread for my rom. I figured this would be the best place since others were probably having the same issue. When I tried to do that, I very quickly realized that I haven't posted enough thread topics to post something in the development section. I decided my next best best would be to post something in the Q&A section. I was hoping the answer would help me and others that are having the same issue.
So just to recap......No......I didn't just come straight to the Q&A section and post a question without looking. Quit assuming the worst in people.

[Q] Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999L) -- assert error when flashing from bootloader

Hello everyone, first off I want to say I have flashed many different phones with CM over the past few years. I have been a fan of android phones since Day 1. I got a G1 the day they came out and was pretty active in the scene up about about 2 years ago. I had a G2 for awhile as well, loved it... had CM on it as well. Anyway, the problem at hand is this Galaxy S III.
I have flashed many phones for friends and co-workers and whomever asks. I have NEVER had such a problem with flashing a phone as this one.
Apparently its a regionally special model (SGH-T999L).
I have downloaded CWM 6.0.3.1 after rooting with motochopper (easiest root experience ever), then I attempted to flash to CM10.1.2. The phone is currently on 4.1.2. When I attempt to flash from CWM, it gives the assert failed error. I have seen a few other threads about this but they were regarding other carriers (AT&T) and honestly I have tried a million and one things in attempt to get this to flash, I have seriously spent over 8 hours today trying to get this flashed to CM10.1.2 and even 10.1, I even tried using the touch version of CWM and tried TWRP to see if I'd get a different result... But no.. same result.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I have tried everything I can think of on all three platforms... Win7, MacOSX 10.6.8 and Ubuntu 10 and 12.... cannot get it to flash to CM no matter what. I am almost positive it is something I am overlooking. If anyone knows how to get past this please let me know, I will gladly send you a present via fedex.
Thanks in advance.
Senor Y.

Basically in some roms, particularly cm and aosp roms they check the bootloader to make sure its up to date. The T999L is just so new that many devs have not yet added its bootloader to the updater-script. Read the info I have in the thread I linked and if you need help editing the script, let me know.
Ill try to fix and upload the rom shortly, just to make it easy for everyone.

Thanks, I figured it was something stupid like that. I will fire up my windows VM and grab Notepad++ and get down to business.

Posted cm 10.1.2 in the T999L q&a thread. Edited to work on T999L.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Thanks again man, I followed your instructions and removed the assert lines... flashed with 10.1.2 -- then flashed the gapps back on and in business on the first try.
I am going to pass the link along to #Cyanogenmod on freenode because there wasn't anyone on there who could help me last night.
Senor Y.

Doc,
One last question, is there a baseband update I need to apply for CM10.1.2 / 4.2.2 ? -- I got the gapps installed and there doesn't appear to be problems yet, but the know-it-alls in #cyanogenmod seem to think I need to install a baseband update but they cannot provide me with a link... so I was wondering what your take on that is.
Thanks again,
Senor Y.

It's bad advice. Ignore it.

Very bad advice! !!
Baseband is your modem which should have nothing to do with your rom. They probably meant bootloader. But the T999L only has one version of firmware available right now, so it wouldn't be possible anyway. Theyd probably tell you to use MD5, but that would brick your phone!
Glad you asked!

FYI, (as stated before), the Nightly builds work with the MB7 bootloader

I thought i had an issue w/ the radio this morning, but it turned out to be a fluke... a reboot resolved it...
Thanks,

So your answer is to have the thread taken down instead of letting it get fixed? That's the way things go with a brand new device. Things get broken, things get fixed. If you're not prepared to deal with the early quirks then wait until the stable stuff comes out. Nobody is forcing you to root/flash.
Let the mods worry about what threads should be or should not be. Pipe down unless you have something positive to contribute to the development.

Well said! My thoughts exactly.

Update files for nov 22 and superSU file

There is a lot of discussion in other threads and im just trying to find information and links for the files i need. I am currently on NDE63P rooted and unlocked trying to find nov 22 update file and supersu file. Every other thread has 25+ pages that i dont want to read through to try and find the files. if someone can link me the new files and small instructions to update and root that would be awesome.

Google search
"google android ota"
And go to first result. Look up "adb sideload"
Go to SuperSU thread in the ROMs Kernels subforum.
Look at the OP
Go to TWRP Alpha2 theead.
Look at the OP
If you cannot read those things, I'm afraid of spelling it out here because you may brick your device and Chainfire and Dees_Troy wrote excellent instructions. Not 25 pages?!?! Just read official install directions!

Always beware that going to latest update from one a few versions ago that you may need to do something else before the very latest step. I would literally just have to read myself to copy and paste or rephrase information. So please just read.
