For some reason I cannot transfer any files between my phone and computer. I'm using twrp 2.2.2.0, and it mounts as USB storage and computers pick it up.. but never shows up in "my computer" as removable storage. Anything I can try? I'm using aokp jellybean and on att. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Assuming Windows.... XP or Win 7?
Make sure you have the driver installed. Google Search for Samsung Galaxy S3 drivers. You should be able to download it from Samsung's website.
The file should be called:

Well this is my wife's phone, so I'm not too familiar with too much. I used Odin to inject root... It was pretty straight forward. Don't remember where I got it from though? Can some point me to the right place to get Odin and its drivers? Sorry for the noobness, this is the first time I've been in these threads. After I rooted, my wife installed twrp and flashed aokp pretty badass haha

I read a bunch of people running ktoonsez kernel... Is that kernel flashable seperately? Or would I have to use his aokp along with the kernal

Yes ktoonsez fernel are flashable seperately and this kernel is awesome. I've been using it for a while now and no problem at all. allow steps from 96mhz to 2106 mhz adding a lot of battery life!

Which instructions have you looked at? And have you tried seeing if following the Windows instructions worked? It should work about the same when running programs such as Odin or Heimdall. The hardest part will probably be finding the proper phone drivers and software that work with Linux.
Edit: If possible, try using a virtual machine in linux. Apparently some people in other forums were able to use WINE in Linux when using Windows software. (I currently use Windows so that's as much information I can give you).

Maybe thats the reason you have a linux box. I have one cuz i like the freedom and power it provides. Which in turn allows for easy and awesome customization. You can customize a Window OS a great deal too. Again for me its the freedom and power. I have been using arch awhile now. A little before the glibc symlink issue. Which broke your system if you updated. So im not new to Linux nor am I wet behind the ears.
i figured i would share with someone who isnt an elitist bsd user like yourself. Who just wants a distro with everything already installed. Some people dont have the time or are just new and havent learned that much yet but want to root their phones. idk either way i thought it was cool.
the bsd in my name is actually just a coincidence, but there is a good chance of arch having heimdall. open terminal and do "pacman -Ss heimdall" you will get a result. you would then do "sudo pacman -S result" it would download and install it. There may also be a heimdall-frontend get it as well, so you can do everything with a gui. Once you have them installed run it as root, or else it won't work. Arch is an awesome distro. Never switch distros and learn.

are you really trying to school me on using pacman? lol Ive been using Arch for over a year and a half i would hope i know how to use its package managaer! i told you ive been using it since before the glibc symlink issue so i dont know what your trying to accomplish here?! i can program in a few languages too.
i asked this question cuz im new the samsung galaxy. im comkng from the g2x. Which was an awesome phone!! ive had it for 2 years and the tools to flash cwm were linux scripts. Flashing roms was as easy as downloading it then rebooting into recovery from the terminal, wiping, then flashing. So now im back at square one cuz my g2x screen broke for the 3rd time. so i figured i try something new.
on top of it my laptop hard drive crashed and i havent had the time to transfer my data from the burned out hdd to the new one. so i just run live cds. i roof for a living too. 5 days a week and have a fiance and a kid. so my freetimebisnt spent on a computer. idk where this thread is going but i got what i need to know... heimdall. yeah thanks

Use the Galaxy S2 Tool (based on Odin) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650908
T989 is the Hercules. So you should be good.
As for recovery, go with the new Twrp it is just bulletproof. CWM has some issues with some of the newer roms along with some wiping issue.
So first flash a recovery (CWM or touch) via the above tool (some older versions are included), then once you reboot to CWM /CWM touch simply flash the below TWRP recovery. It will replace the existing recovery after reboot. Make your stock nandroid with
TWRP, CWM backups are not compatible with TWRP and vice versa.

Changing modem? Haven't heard that one yet. If you could elaborate on that one that would help. As for prl and profile I'll try that but I didn't have the issue with the previous build. Should I just try flashing stock and update? Then reflash. My area hasn't changed. Stock and previous r434 build I had very constant and strong 4g everywhere. With the r484 it can't make up its mind between 3g/4g. Thanks Daniel for the info

You change your modem through Odin. Been a while since I've done it (on HTC for a while there when my Epic broke it's charge port) but as I recall you put the phone in download mode, put them modem in the 'Phone' field after downloading it to your computer, and fire away. Do check the instructions first, I'm going off of memory from six months ago.... Some radios work better with some phones than others. Depends on your device.

I know right. I hate how the only way to root the newer HTC devices is by doing sketchy wire tricks.
Dunno about the ET4G, but my Epic was fairly easy to root. But the GS3 was much easier. My wife's Photon Q was about the same as the GS3.
I had an HTC but never played with it due to watching a friend ruin multiples of them. So I never attempted. Had my gs3 for three days before I rooted and started modding. For never doing this before and having mediocre comp skills this was fairly simple. Just want to make sure I cover my bases before doing something wrong.

Hey ladies and gents!
I have ported a rom from our brother, d2vzw. I did some stuff so when you install this instead of downloading from d2vzw forum on this sight, your phone wont go into a boot loop or anally rape you. I really didn't need to do much work, since the hardware is identical.
1) since this from a Verizon device, will I lose service?
Probably not. I typed this topic on the cm10.2 build, and I can call and text.
2) is there focal included?
Yes!!
3) what should I do in case of errors?
Backup....duhh.
Finally, I'm not responsible for anything that you do. If you do anything that loses data, boot loop, or anything that you find an inconvience, well I'm not responsible, and you got yourself a beautiful paperweight.
And if you run into any issues/bugs let me know. I'll be happy to redirect you to the Verizon forums. I ported this. All credit and development go to damnyouwaffles and the fine folks at the Verizon forum.

One thing to keep in mind when going from 4.1.2/4.2.2 to 4.3 - you won't be able to restore backups (ie. Titanium) after the upgrade due to changes in the file structure in the new version. This goes for both apps and their associated data.
However, you should be able to restore your apps at least when you run through the setup process and download them from Google (as long as you are keeping your phone synced up to your account that is).
Same goes for trying to restore apps taken on 4.3 to an older version.
Just something I thought I'd pass along.

You are totally correct. Titanium backup and related apps will work a lot differently when the appropriate updates come.

DUDE - I DID read. I just wanted an update since a few hours ago to see how this specific rom was running. I can't stand people that just tell others to "read." You must assume that everyone but you is an idiot and I am sorry to disappoint you. I guess people like me completely ruin your day. Such a shame. I will be sure not to disappoint you in the future. Maybe you didn't realize that the person only two posts above yours mentioned the fix for lost root without even a link. Maybe I am not the one who needs to do the reading.
And...I am NOT a NOOB - I have been a member longer than YOU. Have a nice day!
So...I got a PM from a newer user who can't post yet but he wanted to make sure that I knew what to do to ensure flashing this Rom will be effective. Here is what he said:
"Apparently I can't post in the developer forums until I've made 10 posts, but I registered just so I could answer your question. Installing the rom and allowing it to boot, then installing gapps wouldn't let me use wifi either. In order to get 10.2 to work correctly I had to flash the rom, 4.3 gapps, and SuperSU all at the same time in one recovery boot session."
So if you plan on giving this Rom a run, give that a shot for the best results. Glad I got my answer.
did you try the root fix? maybe even have a link? can i use any su flashable zip?
thanks in advance

I do not claim to be the expert on anything, especially development issues. If you notice issues, please let me know. And if you have a solution to one of the issues I've found, please, by all means, post it and you'll get the credit. Enjoy
Note: It seems when rebuilding this to fix the issues above, I've lost the "rising orange Bs" boot animation. There's still boot-up sound, and the blue Samsung animation, but no Boost-specific. If you want it, you can get it from the previous build If I get time, I'll add it back in manually, but frankly, I like not having it there, it seems to boot a little faster

A little confused.
Is this for Boost or Sprint? Will Sprint users see Boost logos and such? Or is this for people who are trying to use a Boost phone on Sprint service or vice versa?

It's for the Boost Mobile Galaxy s3. Boost has their own variant of the s3 like other carriers now.

Notorious is correct. It's for the Boost variant of the S3. And to answer your second question, yes, it will flash Boost logo, mmsc url, etc.

Glad I asked.
I'd guess that it wouldn't work well on my Sprint phone.

Actually, it'll work just fine. It'll just have Boost signature and mmsc url. Just like Boost and VM users have to change mmsc url, you would have to as well, I think. I say that, because if you check mmsc urlv on this rom, it actually reads "not set." I would be interested to see if mms would send and receive on other carriers with it saying "not set."

Quick ? JD, does my Sprint S3 will have to be on the same MD7(since it was base on that one) or can it be on a different one...i.e newer/older version.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you're referring to your modem, then no, it doesn't have to be MD7. This is a Boost build, so you may have to change your mmsc url to get mms

This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device.

So I will not lose any apps or anything if of course I don't do a total wipe I mean?
I did a nandroid just encase but wondered if it would just do the "android is updating" after installing thus all apps would be untouched.
I flashed it once I had some time it kept nagging about wanting to upgrade and was very laggy and slow compared to blazer I was running not ready to be a daily for me at least not till I have some time to remove all the bloat.

Hmmm, that's the first I've heard of that. This rom is completely stock, but yes, not debloated. I just installed es file explorer and deleted all the crap it comes with. And for the other poster, this will not wipe everything if you do a dirty flash. And I'm using it as my dd with zero issues.

Glad to hear it. I have the MG2 tar as well. Anyone interested in a deodex/debloat of that? And silver, how's the build working for you?

Over 300 downloads, thanks everyone! I haven't heard any feedback, so I'm assuming it is working ok. Let me know!
I'm wondering is this ROM a daily driver or are there any kinks that anyone can report on.
