Welcome to android. Definitely got a good device for first android experience. Well now since you are rooted you will have to flash a custom recovery. You can download the goo.im app from the play store to get cwm recovery. That way you can flash anything to any partition within the phone. Now is that kernel for the t mobile s3? If its not, then I don't recommend flashing. Just flash what you find here. Ktoonsez makes great kernels. There are also stock over clocked ones and others as well. Once you have cwm OK installed then go ahead and download the kernel using your phone's browser. Then to boot into custom recovery, power off the device and when powering it back on press and hold the power and the volume down button. When the device vibrates once, you can then let go and and from there cwm should work and then flash file from .zip and look for your downloaded kernel and flash it

Do not flash anything to your phone that didn't come from this forum (TMo S3). In other words, don't flash that kernel you were talking about. There are certain exceptions, but just follow this rule: do not flash anything to your phone that didn't come from this forum (TMo S3).

you used http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 this to root your phone? - that thread is for international S3 version
and your phone is TMO right?hmmm...just like what Aerowinder said Do not flash anything to your phone that didn't come from this forum (TMo S3).

**if your still here**
1st. You cant use anymore Ktoonsez kernel or other kernels and ROMs in this thread you will end up in the customers service station cuz you said its a GT-I9300 (international variant of S3).
2. Your S3 is not a FAKE we have 2 different worlds
good luck with your phone

but mines is a t-mobile i9300 and this version is not listed on this forum how come ? does this mean i have international t-mobile ? i dont get it anymore, btw i live in th netherlands EU, so in mather of fact if this is the case , this whole forum is useless for me ? i could be wrong about the t-mobile part

The link I gave you is the correct one. This forum is for the US variant on the T-Mobile network only (SGH-T999). You can always go over there and ask them if you are in the correct place.

Have you looked at this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998
It has a couple different Roms with the newest 4.3 ota firmware WITHOUT flashing the bootloaders. I personally had used LoserSkaters version and enewmans version with no real issues at all (other than I cannot flash my vr theme, but that might be something on my end). As far as being stable and everything working I have no problems.

First of, don't hijack threads, if you have a question start a new one.
And second, this is the reason I don't use cynanogen mod. There's a lot of random bugs.
And third, you might want to update to the latest version of cynanogen mod. Cm7 is pretty old.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus

Hello all. A friend of mine just recently received the Verizon GNex running stock 4.2.2. He seems to have the battery draining and overheating issues that 4.2.2 causes. My question is, do I go with 4.3 or 4.4? Which rom would be the most stable? Where do I go to find out how to unlock the bootloader (if it's needed) and how to root/flash custom recovery on this phone? Sorry for the noob questions but I own a galaxy S3 and know nothing about this phone. I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

For unlocking the bootloader and rooting, Follow this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23229558&postcount=1
If you don't get the hang of it then this will do http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/08/how-to-root-galaxy-nexus-jelly-bean-ice.html
I would suggest you to jump to 4.4, you can find many Roms in the development thread, personally I use cmetal rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532320, its insanely fast and stable. You can also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2286506 , it has few more features and is stable.
Make sure you update to the latest recovery before you flash any 4.4 rom.

Noob trying to flash Kitkat on T-mo S2

Hey guys. Coming from Win-mo where everything is just straight forward so this stuff is pretty new. I am trying to find a Kitkat rom for my T-mo S2. I can't seem to find any threads specifically talking about branded phones.
Can anyone help me out here? Info
The phone isn't rooted and on stock jellybean 4.1.2.
If you can direct me to some step by step threads or even better actually telling me what to do step by step it'd be appreciated. Thank you.

I presume you have a SGH T-989 ? If so, you're in the wrong place, your thread belongs here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.

Yeah I realized that after I posted, I just couldn't figure out what the differences were. Thank you for the help.

Cyanogenmod 11 runs Kit Kat. You can download it from the official page. As for the actual flashing, you need to have root and the latest Clockworkmod installed, as I have read about some issues if you try to flash it with other custom recoveries or older versions of it.

You don't need to root. Just flash the recovery and flash the rom. The rom itself is rooted. If you want to root your stock rom flash the su zip in recovery

[Q] Android 4.4.2 KitKat For T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989

Hi Folks,
I am going to upgrade my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 to Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The phone is currently locked to t-mobile with the stock rom 4.0.4.
My question is that; do I need unlock the phone FIRST, and then I can upgrade the rom?
Thanks.

Not sure, mine came factory unlocked for use on any network.
There's a post in the general section that covers permanent unlock, you might read through it.

Yes. Unlock, install custom recovery, flash SU binaries, boot, install super SU.
The unfortunate part is most links on XDA for some of that are dead. Need to search Google.
Also, good to Odin flash 4.1.2 first and make sure it works. Then recovery, root, etc.

you only need to unlock it to use on a different network
if you just want to upgrade your rom- install custom recovery and flash rom-

I meant bootloader unlock..... But now I remember.... Not applicable to the S2. ?
Since my t989, I've had Moto X, N5 and M8. All with bootloaders I had to unlock.
