So I flashed miui & flashed Chris41g's CWM6 RC13 kernel, both through EL26 CWM. when it booted I kept getting force closes. It kept saying "android.com.process failed" or something like that. Booted back into cwm n reflashed. Same thing happened. So I tried to get back to recovery & it got stuck at the Galaxy S II screen. It still boots to download mode though. Is Odin my only way out of this? Will it even work?

Honestly if it was me I'd just take a L and one click back to start fresh if that happened

Which version of MIUI? If you're flashing Captain Morgans latest build, I believe you have to flash to the build before, mobile Odin/Odin to el26, and then flash the newest build + Chris's Kernel without any wiping. Info is in the OP.

I can confirm this too... Also If anyone is looking to flash this rom please follow these steps. I have repeated the process at least 10 times:
1. Odin EL26 repacked CWM 5
2. Wipe using Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.
3. Flash MIUI 2.6.15
4. After flashing let it reboot into MIUI 2.6.15 ** THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT**
5. Then Odin Chris41G AOSP CWM5 or EL26
6. And Finally flash MIUI 2.7.20 v4

Yeah I had to do the same thing. So @ChewDZ, basically you are going to have to flash that old one first, and then the new one on top of it as if you were upgrading, otherwise everyone gets that error. And make sure to use the right kernels mentioned above! (Also, I was tempted to just flash the old one and not upgrade, but trust me, the upgraded one has much better stability and battery life.) I have been running it since it was out with almost no issues.
Wow. I saw that no where in the op. Now I'm stuck using my DX until I reach a computer

Ahh my bad. I will admit I havn't checked since I flashed it. Been maybe 3 weeks now. Although, instead of saying if you are having issues to check the post, I do think it should just include it in the instructions.

What Nitro posted is what isn't in the OP. Why would I immediately go for an alternative installation? My "difficulty installing" soft bricked me. I followed the instructions for flashing & bricked. There's nothing that could've prevented that.

I completely agree. It should just be the standard installation instructions, as no one has been successful without doing it this way. It shouldn't be "So now that you tried normally and it screwed up your phone, try it this way." XD They should just tell us to do it that way from the start.
Anyway, have you gotten it working yet?

I have been trying to update to the ACS custom recovery 1.0.0.4 but every time i try this in the ACS updater application it starts to download zImage, then gets to 99% and reboots my phonne. It doesnt go into recovery from there and the same version of CWM i was using is still the recovery system.
This has happened across 3 different roms i was trying (acs srf 1.2, and ERA rom, and bamboozle 1.1)
I would like to know iof this is a known issue, how i can get this work work, and if there is a flashable zip that i can use to install the custom recovery myself.
Interesting. I have been testing the recovery for like 2 months. I just thought it was labeled wrong because I am on 1.0.0.3. Let me try to get some info

As for the zImage file - that's the recovery. It downloads into to your sdcard, then uses bmlwrite to write it, and then reboots.

Alright, great news everyone - got it fixed. Just uploaded to the market, give it time to reach you. Version is:
(Free) 1.5.0.3
(Donate) 1.5.1.3
I apologize for the issues... not sure how it went so wrong when it worked in testing.... I tested both versions though, all is good.
By the way -
I was able to do the following:
ODIN to stock
Root with One-Click
Here's the best part - even if your one-click does NOT install a custom recovery - you can still install it from the app. After I did ODIN / root, did not have to touch computer at all.... Installed recovery, then kernel, then rom, all from app.
Once again, I apologize for the issues.

Epic Touch Blog: Temporary Stock E4GT from emmc
Utility for CM9 Epic Touch
This is a temporary ROM that boots Samsung's Gingerbread EL29 firmware entirely from emmc without making any changes to the ROM currently installed on your phone. When you reboot, you return to recovery where you can re-flash the ROM to return to CM9. This temporary ROM is useful for several purposes.
Update Profile.
Update PRL.
Sprint Activation.
Dial codes and diagnostic mode.
This should be helpful to users of any AOSP-based ROM including CM9, AOKP, etc.
Thanks to noobnl and mkasick for making this possible!
Really nice thanks a lot.

Its for AOSP roms. You currently can't update PRL/Profile, activate your device, or use dialer codes on them so this temporarily allows you to boot stock el29 off the SD card without changing your current rom. You can do what i said from there. Saves you time from doing backups, restoring, etc.

1. I have everything extracted to emmc as directed.
2. I flashed directboot CWM utilizing mobile odin which correctly booted me into CWM version 5.0.2.7
3. I flashed boot_EL29.zip at location /emmc/multiboot/EL29 and received the following messages that appear to be correct.

At this point I expected the phone to reboot into the temporary rom; however, it just shows the standard recovery menu. No reboot occured.
5. Because no automatic reboot occured, I selected "reboot system now" from CWM. Unfortunately this just brings me back into directboot CWM.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
I am having the same problem I thought it could have been the downloading or unpacking so I downloaded it again and unpacked it and still have the same problem.

When done updating prl/profile, etc. Just reboot your phone and it will take you back to cwm recovery. From there you can either just reflash the rom or just a compatible kernel so it boots.

So since i purchased my beloved phone few months ago i was a truly happy camper....
...until latest ICS happened.
Now the phone is lagging freezing when some apps crash unlike before where crashing app would not freeze the phone for minute or so.
I followed suggestions and performed full reset but it helped for just a moment. Now my phone is worse than anything i had a chance to us before including my previous vibrant which i had to root to make it usable.
I was searching on the web other people opinions and could not find lots of complaints. Maybe it was just too early. Anyway i am rolling back my phone to previous OS version.
What a piece of c*** this ice cream update is? I am starting to have a feeling they are doing this for purpose so you start thing about upgrade to newest latest phone that could carry that useless burden with bunch of bloatware on board and all the bugs they embedded into this new update. What a lame!

Check out AOKP or CM9. AOKP is in the general section while CM9 thread is in the dev thread. Both stable enough for DD's.
Also, that thread won't tell you how to root your phone. You have to do that before you start flashing ROM's etc. Check this out first: Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650908 AND Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27360280&postcount=123.
Rooting your phone won't give you a new ROM, you have to flash that after rooting.
I'd review it a few times first, and then follow it exactly.
Can someone please tell me how I am supposed to flash rooted stock UVLE1. I used an ODIN in the past bit always with tar files. This rooted stock zip file does not seem like something I played with before.

There is a lot of reading to do if you are completely unfamiliar. Here is a start.
Ti Backup
You may need to follow these instructions for rooting.
(Suggested) Flash latest version of CWM (Non-touch) here
Nand backup. (Option in CWM?)
Flash Darkside "superwipe" here
Flash ICS Modem from Mr.X here
Flash Rooted ICS from Mr.X here
Instead of the previous step you could flash just about any other ROM here, such as AOKP.
Flash Darkside "cache wipe" here
Reboot.
Restore select Ti backups.
Ti Backup says its for rooted phones. Mine is not.

I can boot into CWM recovery.
When I try to select
"install zip file from sdcard"
the menu flashes for a moment and resets into
"reboot system now"
so I am unable move forward. Why is it doing it? Is it because the battery is less than 50%?
Hmm...running stock with silky smoothness. Wonder what causes some to have issues.

Did you download the superuser zip to install after flashing recovery?
Edit: Better yet did you download the rooted stock rom from Mr. X thread? The reset was probably because to selected a location that does not have a zip file.

Follow that. It gets you rooted. Pictures and a video.
TWO STEPS .... That is all it takes!
I got it!
There are 2 (TWO) steps to flash rooted ROM like this one:
[ROM] Tmo UVLE1 & Telus TLLE4 ICS Stock Rooted
which by the way is exactly what I wanted.
STEP 1:
Flash CWM using ODIN (initially I flashed touch version which did not work - so I posted *****ng, after reflashing standard 5.2.0.6 works like a charm)
STEP 2:
Put ROM .zip file into sdcard and reboot to recovery
DONE! THAT's IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just can't believe none of you knew this or just did not care to share... what a waste. Google is best, helped me to find required files for CWM and ROM. Searching throughout thousands of posts on XDA is a waste of time. Unless you are already "rooted" ... to your chair.
I rather go to the beach.
EMERGENCY!!! I've been following your guides for rooting, etc. Now I was trying to flash a ROM, and when the phone booted into recovery, I didn't get the usual blue list of options. There were a few options, and then in yellow *MANUAL MODE* ... I tried flashing the roms anyway and it said in red "signature verification failure" ... and "operation aborted" (something like that) WTF?!?!? HEEEEELP!!!!

Sounds like you don't have a custom recovery in your phone yet. Look into flashing twrp's touch recovery. You tried to flash through the stock recovery.
Download ROM toolbox from market and to flash a recovery(twrp) go to tools>manage Rom and then on the top choose the manage tab. The top of the list is the option to flash a recovery. Flash recovery and then you could come back to the app to flash the ROM of your choice.

Thank you - and I'm sorry for my ignorance, but where do I find that and how do I install it?

I guess I should ask, are you rooted? Or have you not done that yet? That app will not work without being rooted and without superuser permissions.

YOU... ROCK.
It worked! Not sure what I did wrong to start with and the behind the scenes is a mystery to me, but it worked!!! Thank you!!!
So... 1) what do you think is the best custom ROM out there right now?, and 2) what's the difference between ROM Toolbox and ROM Manager?

I used to use ROM manager but I switched to ROM toolbox. I just simply like it better. More options. I haven't used ROM manager in a while, so I don't even know what the current version offers. I prefer phantomhacker's blazer ROM. But if you like themed roms, there are a few out there. I am not on any custom ROM right now, just stock rooted with a few mods and tweaks. I had blazer ROM on my gs2 and was my favorite on that phone too. Just do allot of reading on each roms thread so you can see if there are any issues. I always read read read before flashing.

THANK YOU once again.
Final question - is there a list somewhere here with all the ROMs out there for the GS3?
Sprint galaxy s3 android development section. It will say [ROM] in the title. If you are looking for cm9, cm10, aosp, or aokp type roms, look in the Sprint galaxy s3 original android development section.

Your welcome. You can always PM me if you have any other issues and I will try to help. If I don't answer right away it just means I haven't seen the message yet.

EMERGENCY!!! I've been following your guides for rooting, etc. Now I was trying to flash a ROM, and when the phone booted into recovery, I didn't get the usual blue list of options. There were a few options, and then in yellow *MANUAL MODE* ... I tried flashing the roms anyway and it said in red "signature verification failure" ... and "operation aborted" (something like that) WTF?!?!? HEEEEELP!!!!

I promise I'm not trying to insult you, but:
1. Your choice of thread title doesn't explain anything.
2. Your original post wasn't very coherent.
3. You failed to do the first thing when buying a new phone, which is read, read, read before even downloading a ROM.
Next time, please be as clear and detailed as possible when describing an issue, and choose a more relevant thread title. Next, troubleshoot; if the phone says "operation aborted", try rebooting the phone. Tell us what happened and what you've done.
Just to let everyone know, the Note 2 LTE (including T-Mobile) will be getting official CyanogenMod 10.1 builds!
Here's the link where the builds will be available: http://get.cm/?device=t0lte
And here's the thread in AT&T forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105917
Nice! Thanks for the heads up dude.
This solidifies my belief that the Note 2 is undoubtedly the best phone in the world.
Wow just flashed this and my phone will not boot at all. FML...
Fixed. :thumbup:

The only reason I've ever used CyanogenMod on my previous device was because of software issues. To date, I can see no reason for even a custom ROM on my Note II let alone a beta ROM.

Did you try this?
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)

AFTER flashing?
Downloaded and tried to flash via CW three different times and installation aborted each time. I wiped data davlik and cache so I have no clue wtf is wrong but I need that 4.2!!!
I really didn't mean for this thread to become a support thread. If you guys are having problems flashing or booting, you didn't follow the instructions. Re-read all the information and try again following the instructions exactly.

Been rooting and flashing since the G1 and never had installation abort in the middke of a flash but once. I read the directions and did exactly as posted four times now. Idk what the issue is. I am currently on Jedi X rom. Maybe I should flash stock then retry it?

I know you said you didn't want this thread to turn into a support thread but how do you flash the latest recovery? Through odin or fastboot?
thanks
You don't need cwm I flashed perfectly fine with twrp and have no problems at all haven't tried Bluetooth since I don't use it but it States that it's a bug anyway.
Fandroid93 download goomanager and you can install the latest twrp from there. Or download rommanager and should be able to get cwm from there.

What version phone do you have? Some Canadian versions require the updater script to be modified to remove the version checks, everything flashes fine after that and works as normal but they forgot to add the version numbers in the check.

I've been a long time cm fan until 4.1 TW. That being said I had to try the official nightly and I gotta say it's real cool. 4.2.1 changes with com's twist is very nice. Dare I say it might even be snappier than stock

This rom does work with T-mobile note 2 right? Just making sure.
