Touchwiz ROM issue - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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?

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

Hercules kernel caused brick?

I installed the hercules kernel posted by faux123 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372690&highlight=kernel
The situation:
I was on break for lunch, about to make a call then my phone crashed and restarted. The boot screen appeared starting the phone and froze on completion. I tried restarting multiple times, taken out the battery for a long period of time and even tried booting into recovery mode. No positive results came. The frozen screen is still there.

I would try going into Download Mode, restoring a stock ROM, and then re-root from the beginning.
Could you please provide a bit more information?. What rom did you install it on? and which faux Kernel you installed??.
that was my initial thought, but now I'm home and just flashed recovery first then flashed the stock rom. Had problems starting up at first then i did a full wipe (dalvic and system). The phone booted like a champ. do you know a stable rom or kernel?
@Octane, I installed the kernel on a stock rom and I used the gingerbread mainline edition kernel from the link.
It sounds like you installed the wrong kernel, maybe.

Probably not a compatible kernel for the Rom.. Did you make sure it's for tw or aosp?

Also, it's possible you wiped something you shouldn't have. Maybe Darkside super instead of cache? Something like that.

are you imposing I should try Darkside super wipe?
My phone is up and working on on 2.3.6 ULVk1
I'm still a newbie to this stuff please don't use acronyms. (identify tw and aosp)

According to the thread by faux123, the kernel is samsung based so im guessing TW

sorry my phone rebooted and is stuck trying to boot up. I've havent been focusing on my replies, but yes its for ginerbread
Just reflash it to stock and reroot it. Saves you a ton off headaches in the long run. Or if you can get into recovery just flash another rom and you should be golden

Flashing Rom question

I am currently on aopk right now and I am planning on flashing something else. The question is.. Do I have to put my phone back to stock to flash a new rom? What's the easiest way to flash a new rom while currently running a custom Rom?

Compete a full wipe and install the same way you did your current custom ROM. No need to return to stock.

Unless your going from an AOSP or AOKP or CM10 rom to a stock based rom such as Ultimatum that are on different versions of JB (4.2 to 4.1.1). You would most likely soft brick if you did not go back to stock first.
Other than that it is not necessary.

Actually it won't, you just have to do a factory reset to wipe data, then flash away. No need to flash back to stock.

My i747 does the same, I've tried several time with stock kernel, Ziggy kernel and kt747 kernel but I Berber got passed the logo. I tried both, cwm and twrp latest recovery. It is the only ROM not booting on my phone so I'm not sure what's up with that.

Which really stinks because I love Galaxymod but I guess I got lucky that it worked well for me with minimal effort. There one thing I've never had to do on 5 phones and wont say it for fear of jinxing myself haha

Installing AOKP on S3 with JB 4.1.1

Hey guys, I just picked up a new Galaxy S3 this morning and I'm not sure how to install a custom AOKP rom.
I've already rooted the phone, but because the firmware is 4.1.1 I'm unsure how to proceed.
Should I just install the latest AOKP rom version, or do I need to upgrade to a newer firmware while still using stock and go from there?

Should be in the q&a threads...
You'll need to install a custom recovery (twrp or cwm)
Than you can flash any ROM you want. If you want Tasks aokp just download the newest version and most recent gapps and flash as instructed in the thread.

I believe the rom I used to root my phone also installed CWM, so I should be good to go as soon as I finish downloading AOKP and gapps.
Thanks for the reply, bud.

Make sure you have the latest version of cwm. They're at 6.0.2.3 if your recovery isn't at that than the flash won't work properly.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Check out the link in my signature for backup and rom flashing procedures.
Cwm 6.0.3.1 is the most recent, not 6.0.2.3. You can find it in post #2, at the bottom. It's a zip you can flash in cwm

Success!
Ended up having to install CWM, but everything went smoothly from there and now I'm running AOKP.

Do you know if there's any way to remove the image that is displayed before the boot animation? It has a picture of some briefs and says "Task650 Kernel."

Compile a custom kernel. Or replace it.

It's not really an issue, I just tend to be somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to boot logos and animations.
Either way, I don't know much about compiling kernels. And the consensus seems to be that your kernel is pretty good, so I'm gonna stick with it.
Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate your work on the rom. Cheers!

Kernel Flash

I have not been successful flashing any of the kernels. After flash phone wont boot past the Samsung logo. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
You made wipe cache and dalvik before flash kernel?
What kernel you flash?
Yeah did the wipe. Tried them all.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
you have to make sure that you flash an AOSP kernel on an AOSP rom, and a TW kernel on a TW rom...are you doing that?
what exact kernal are you using each type of ROM?
^this
Well first thing ya better do is see if you still got your recovery.
Then if you could, give us more details?
You said you flashed so you HAD recovery but what about now?
How did you get to where you are at?
What kernels did you try n flash?
Were you on stock kernel?
Rom?
You are on a sghi317?
Im going to assume this is your backup device your posting from?
You ...did unlock your phone right??
Lol you'd be surprised...
I would check two things:
1.Do I have recovery still
2.Can I get into dl mode
Post back!
Oh yeah I was able to get back to recovery just fine. Did restore and decided to leave kernels alone lol. I'm currently running Liquid Smooth. Never had issue like this before. Had the same trouble with Carbon and with Sean's Skynote TW rom
