How to switch from one rom to another? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I've flashed other Android phones in the past so I'm not a complete noob but for some reason I cant go from AOKP to Paranoid. I've reflashed the a stock rom and did everything from scratch a few times now. Am i missing something? When in CW it just gives me an error when installing. The only rom that installs properly is the AOKP rom which happens to be the first Rom I've tried out since I had the Paranoidandroid rom on my Note. I've wiped cache, Devlick cache and factory wipe/restore. I honestly cant think of anything else after flashing back to stock and after trying the CM10 nightlys and MIUI roms i get the same errors. I've downloaded the roms straight from sites to my phone and from the computer. I've store to an internal sd card and the external sd card. Someone please tell me where I'm screwing up and why only AOKP works. I like the rom i just miss my Touchwiz!

WOW I'm retarded. Fixed

What kind of error are you getting in CWM? (i.e. what does the error message say?)
Edit: My timing... so you solved your own issue? What were you doing?

Id say using an old version of cwm

Bootmanager on Nexus?

Has anyone tried this? I got it tonight and am having a hell of a time. I installed Gummy on slot 1 and 2 and everytime I boot to it I loop at the Google screen and have to while and restore through recovery. It worked once but I ****ed it up with a mod now nothing works. I've factory reset and deleted both slots.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I have no problems with it. My PhoneRom is CM9 and Slot1 is MIUI. Have you tried it with another Rom?
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk
I too have not had any problems. I have MIUI on ROM 1, Codname ANdroid on slot 2, and CM9 on ROM 3 with Wookie as my stock ROM. No problems, can easily switch between them. GO to your SD card, find the bootmanager folder, and delete the folders for the ROM's - maybe something was bad in the slots.
I checked the bootmanager folder after i whiped the slots out and all was left was a empty android.secure folder.
I'm going to try some other ROMs today, it just doesnt make sense that Gummy does this now after it worked fine the first time =\
What version of recovery are you guys using? I downloaded another ROM And tried using Boot Manager but got the same issue. I decided it must be my actual phone rom, so i tried to whipe and install Gummy, but it threw an error related to my version of CWM. I upgraded and am trying now with Gummy as my primary ROM
Upgrading my CWM seemed to work.
Anyone know how to sync texts between slots?
I selected the slots but the messages didnt take
Can't get the syncing messages or call log to work either. It's also not allowing me to flash kernals on slotted roms.

I too ran int osome issues, then i realized that i am running AOKP milestone 6 and was trying o put a JB rom on slot 1.. Both ROMs have to run off the same kernel. So if you have ICS as your main ROM then you must use an ICS rom for your slots. I dont know if this helps any1, but now I am runing smooth
I am new with nexus.is boot manager work with this phone?

Jellybean only boot loop

Hi guys I searched the forums but can't seem to figure this one out. I can flash and boot all ICS Roms completely fine. When I try ANY Jellybean ROM AOKP, CM whatever I get stuck on a boot screen loop. I use these steps:
Flash darkside super wipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Flash darkside super wipe cache
Reboot
Now I've tried cwm 5.x.x and 6.x.x and twrp. Any suggestions?

Download the file again. Sounds like a bad flash.

Thanks elesbb but this bootloop happens with ANY JB from I try to.flash on my hercules. So I don't think its bad downloads I wonder if I posted a log at during boot if someone could help.

That's why I recommended downloading again. Sometimes packets are lost in cyberspace. I don't see how your device is the only one doing this. Gotta be something on your end. (Not trying to point fingers. Just saying it can be a million and 2 things )

Ok, I now downloaded 4 different roms ALL Jellybean and ALL get frozen during the bootscreen and bootloop. ADB just sits at waiting for device when trying to logcat. I've reflashed to stock gingerbread just fine, reflashed to ICS AOKP just fine no loops. But going to JB after just keep causing a bootloop, its driving me crazy.

Were you getting freeze bootloops?
I have tried cwm 5.x nd 6 which I'm on now. Also twrp gave me the same loop. I've even gone as far.as.formatting sdcard and eemc with no luck.

Try switching to TWRP.
Then re-download the JB rom you want to use, put it on the root of your internal SD, make sure the MD5 matches and then try flashing again. I think most of these JB boot problems are coming from CWM recoveries.

No they aren't. Teamchopsticks recommends cwm 6.0.1.1 as the optimal recovery to use.

Where did you read that? And does 6.0.1.1 still have a broken cache wipe?
Someone had a similar problem in the dev thread and switching recoveries seemed to fix it. So worth trying.

I read it on their website but i came across it in binarybishops nightly thread. And no the cache wipe is fixed. I use the touch version, tried TWRP and CWM 5 hell i tried them all! They all produced the exact same results for me as far as performance goes. But ive never had any issues with 6.0.1.1 i love it to death
Ok guys this is very puzzling. I have been flashing roms for years and have never had a loop like this.
So I flashed TWRP again verified the md5 has was correct for both AOKP JB nightly and gapps. Flashed following the correct steps posted in the thread by Whitehawkx and I still get a bootloop freeze on the AOKP unicorn. So I tried CM 10 nightly... same freeze/loop. I downloaded AOKP ICS, no loop at all boots fine.
I've tried cwm 5, 6, and twrp all with the exact same results. I have formated SD external and internal EMMC... nothing has worked.... All I want is some Jelly bean goodness.... I flashed AOKP on my nexus 7 just fine. Like I said I am really stumped on this one as to why ICS roms would flash perfectly fine and using the same steps JB roms bootloop.

It's something wrong with your flash file. Use an actual adapter to transfer the file. And download it again. Then if you still get the loop plug your phone into your computer and boot it up then run adb logcat.

When you say flash file do you mean the ROM? If so I've tried downloading it on my Mac and transferred it via USB mode still no dice. Also I.tried to.log at during the bootloop but adb never sees the device.

Yes im saying the zip. Something isnt getting placed where it belongs or something is corrupt. And DONT use the USB mode, get an actual Mirco SD to SD adapter and a SD to USB adapter and do it that way.

I have an adapter so I can try that right now. However, if the md5 hash is correct wouldn't that mean the zip downloaded correctly? And it still doesn't answer why every JB from bootloops while ICS does not.

Yes that is usually the norm. But it is millions and millions and millions of bits of data we are talking about here... all it takes is for one of those bits to either not be there or be in the wrong place to screw it up. And yes that is extremely strange, but seeing as you are the only one experiencing this, i am sure its not the ROMs and its something you are doing or not doing. Im not trying to be rude or imply that you are dumb. its just extremely hard to pin point something weird like this when i dont have the device in my hands. See where im getting here?

I totally agree I don't believe its the roms themselves as they seem to work for most people. I've just never ran across this before.

Formated the SD card ... used the external adapter to copy the flash to the SD same bootloop I also copied the file directly to internal storage removed the sd card and flashed same result... looks like no Jelly bean for me... so freaking odd as I can flash ICS any rom all day long just fine.

[Q] CM10.0.0 Stable Issues

Hello, Just flashed CM10 after wiping data/factory reset, wipe cache, wtc.. I installed the latest GApps JB-2012121, and my AOSP Keyboard keeps crashing.. Like.. every few seconds.. I read to download another older versions of the GApps.. So I'm trying JB-20121011, and now.. My SD card is all jacked.. Using windows, it shows the correct space available.. but when I try and open it.. There is nothing there. I tried placing a Swype.apk in the SD card root.. but it won't show up on the File Manager..
So, what do? Anyone know where the External SD is using the CM10 File Manager?

Great.. So now I can't even do ANYTHING. I wiped factory data again.. Flashed a JB-20120706 Version of GApps.. and still NOTHING.. I can't get into the OS because it's asking for Google account.. then if I cancel that, it asks for a name.. I can't get around it.. Keyboard will NOT WORK.
Update:
Bricked..
I got sick of dealing with CM10 "Stable" (Har HAr) so I tried to again.. factory wipe and flash JellyBam 5.1.. Dear god.. everything went smooth.. Then on Reboot.. BAM.. Black Screen... Nothing.. No amount of battery pulls, holding power does ANYTHING.
So.. I've ruined my phone? I followed instructions to a T.
Any way of recovering it?
Can you access recovery or download mode?

Get in download or recovery. Wipe all and flash stock with Odin. You can build back up from there.
Btw, cm10 is stable. Perhaps you flashed the wrong one or some changes was made that didn't go so well. Either way, it should work after going back to stock.

NEED HELP!!!

so i am running Galaxy Mod rom on my phone, and loved since the day i flashed it. but since i flashed it ive noticed certain things that turn me off to it. (SORRY to the maker). so im looking to put another rom on my phone, BUT!, no matter what computer i connect to cannot get another rom onto my phone, it says it can be put on there, that the device is malfunctioning. i tried a different data cable, a different computer, and putting it on my sc card, it wont reconize or even see the sd. i downloaded straight from the site, cannot find the rom in recovery. i looked in every file and fold on my phone, im thinking the rom is locking me out, it is having its issues as well, the time dissaprears, the status bar force closes, freezes, contacts freeze up and force close, phone calls are dropped.
i feel like my phone is falling apart. i cannot get a rom on there, i cant get it to reconize the external sd card, ive redownloed and installed the driver for my phone. nothing is working, and the problems its having are happening more frequent. never had this problem with any other flash
any recommendations?

Sounds like you got a really bad flash. You are in luck that it at least boots because you can at least
If all else fails I suggest you try ODIN flash stock rooted. Have you tried to get into download mode ? can you get into recovery ? I didn't see if you mentioned that.
Look for the stock rooted ROM in the root with out tripping the flash counter thread

did you try reinstalling the samsung drivers onto your pc? is your sd card readable in other devices or your pc? and i'm assuming you've tried mounting the sd card in settings/storage?
If you have a bad flash maybe you can go into goomanager or the xda app and download a new rom directly to your phone and flash it. Maybe that will help.

Well. I thought I was in luck, my wife has a s3 with kailisjr's wicked sensations rom. I grabbed her version, being the same phone, moved it to her ext sd, pit the sd into my phone, went to my file browser, moved it to my internal, went into recovery which is the latest team win. It saw it. I was soo happy. I wiped all neccessary things, went to flash wicked rom, failed to load, that's the only error. My wife's phone is the same as mine but blue. Now, stuck on samsung screen. In the midst of excitement that recovery saw the rom, I didn't make a back up
To answer the other post. I only used Odin a few times, and not really familiar with where and what to download. I am pretty good about flashing just with recovery. I can get into both down load and recovery. Just won't boot up now because of well...no rom. I did not try and mount the ext sd I thought that it would auto sense it. Will try that now.

Ok so I went into recovery, it won't see the ext sd, I go to just try and factory wipe, cache and dalvik, it hangs in the cache wipe saying the path to the partition cannot be found.
And now the same for dalvik
Time for Odin it seems. Go to the "root with out triping flash counter" thread. Download odin 3.07 and the at&t stock 4.1.1 with root injected. Place in download mode. Makes sure its detected and flash it in the pda spot.
You could do a full wipe and erase data as well and see if it lets you flash a ROM then. Another possibility

so let me get this straight
you flashed galaxy mod,
it wouldn't let you read ext sd card correct? (if so you needed to format it, it seems like it is running off AOSP and aosp doesn't support exfat on ext sd)
and now you're trying to flash wicked rom, but it wouldn't let you install?
if so it is either bad file or outdated recovery.
and if you're stuck on samsung screen, if wipe dalvik and cache partition + factory reset don't work

depend on one another, the rom might or might not support the format of the external sd

[Q] Having problems upgrading roms

Any time I try to flash a rom or anything I keep getting this message: E:/error opening '/data/lost+found'
I've tried flashing different roms but it hasn't helped.
I'm having this weird problem where when I flash a new rom about 20 random apps are transferred over to the new rom. (like random games and apps)
Also every time I uninstall any app I get "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but this just concerns me.
Could anyone help me out? I just want to do a fresh install of liquid smooth.

I found this in the Nexus 4 forum-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147501. Sounds like the same issue.

When I searched around with this issue I did find that and tried to follow those steps but even after trying it a few times I'm still having the same problem.

Wipe everything, data, system, cache and dalvik
Then try reflashing your rom
Ok have you installed any app to sd type of application? It sounds like your internal storage is being read as external and visa versa.
Also i know there's lots of support for twrp but I swear by cwm when it comes to the GS3. I use twrp on my Nexus and that's fine but on the S3 cwm has always worked better in my opinion.
What roms are you trying to flash? They are sprint s3 roms right from this section?

I've done that. That's what the one post suggested.
I just don't understand why I'm still getting apps showing up when I install new roms.
What about wiping storage? I know you don't want to lose anything but it sounds like something in your storage causing this.

I haven't installed any app to sd type applications.
I do think part of the internal is being used as external but I thought that's just how it was.
I only have roms, nandroids, and titanium backups on my sd card.
I installed twrp because when I first started it seemed like that was what most people were recommending but it doesn't matter to me. I might switch.
Also I've been switching between cleanbean and liquid smooth, both from this section.
The main thing that bugs me is when uninstalling apps says "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but it just doesn't seem good.

A couple weeks ago, I was switching from a AOSP ROM to a TW ROM and I got the same error. Thinking it was TWRP, I hooked my phone up to my computer and flashed CWM. I then tried to flash the ROM in CWM and it was a no go. I still got the same error. I just decided to transfer all my data from my internal sd to my computer. I used Odin to flash the stock tar file. After that, I used QBKing77's method to root from recovery. Then I flashed my ROM and I got 0 errors. So all I had to do was start fresh haha. It took a bit of time because I was taking many precautions (as should you) Good luck!

Yes just as posted above, but before going the route of Odin back to stock. Copy all your files (important) from internal and external to your computer. Then boot into recovery no need to change now and reformat your internal and external storage, wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot. Then download a fresh zip of a rom to flash and test it. If it all works then go through your files and move back what you need. I'm pretty sure you have a bunch of O folders in your internal.
