I have installed the cwm with no problems using ODIN. I then transfered the SU zip file to my sdcard. I booted the phone into recovery mode, found the zip file and ran it. I rebooted the phone , superuser was there. I then downloaded titanium back up from the market and installed it, it gave me an error about not having the needed permissions. I then downloaded rootchecker to see if i was rooted and it responded with not rooted. So then I ran the cwm again, and did the zip again and still not rooted. So in my ultimate noobness i figured I'd do start from scratch again and did a factory reset. Of course the CWM was still there and superuser is still on the phone. Now when I try to power the phone off it locks on the goodbye screen. I thought I did alot of reading on the tutorials and what not before I gave this ago. Any suggestions or help would be greatfully appreciated.

can you turn the phone on at least to download mode? if so just Odin it back to factory.

just make sure you follow the steps for correct model. that's how i always start from scratch. afterwards reroot (which is also included on the site i posted) and install all your stuff. come back and get your prefered rom and voila. good luck
You need to make sure it's the right su file for your ROM version. ICS 4.03 uses 3.07.
Edit, originally thought you were talking about CM until I realized you were talking about CWM.

Sorry, I'm using Darkside Telus ICS not CM. I used su 3.07 to root.
I would assume each CM ROM has it's own gapps zip.
They are either baked in or you have to flash them separate. Usually its part of the thread if you have to or not and they will be included
Deff misread you post.. my bad.. my original response would have been still my solution. I would go back to complete stock and then reroot . Just one thing. If you already done that, did you fully factory reset from withing the phone. Maybe that could be the problem. Go to settings/ back up and reset/ factory reset. This will wipe everything that was previously installed. Make sure you do this after you unroot. And then start over from scratch. You should have no issue.

Seeing as these responses your getting have nothing to do with your question .. I have a suggestion. Since you have CWM have you thought of just flashing a stock already rooted rom?

Why does this never work the way its supposed to for me??
Anyway, so I just got my S3 and I hate the stock ROM already so I want to go to CM (9 maybe, 10 if it works well). I'm right now just trying to get Clockwork recovery installed and working and seem to be failing miserably. At first it seemed to be going ok, I downloaded Odin 3.04 and a recovery TAR that was on the Android Authority guide for the AT&T S3. I ran the install no problems, and booted into recovery without issue. I then tried installing CM10 and it gave and Status 7 assert failure.
After a lot of digging I finally found some people saying that it was because of an incorrect version of CWM, so I dug around till I found a 6.0.1.0 tar that says its for my phone. I install that and now I can't get into recovery at all. It will still boot into the stock rom but that's it. I saw some suggestions saying that unchecking auto reboot, and f. reset time would fix this so I did that and still nothing. I can't get into recovery at all. Is there a definitive (as in this still works) guide out there somewhere??

Ok so I found some CWM tars that they they're v.6+ that I can get installed (at least I assume so since Odin says it worked) but when I get in there the version listed at the top is 5.5.0.4, should this number not match? I haven't even gotten around to trying to get it to install CM10 yet.

By Rom Manager you are talking about the App you use from within the OS? So would I need root for this?

Installed ROM manager....opened it and click install recovery. Done. Yes, you have to be rooted to use that app.

Awesome suggestion! Worked perfectly thank you!!
Hello,
New to android... I have searched and searched and read in a LOT of threads trying to get Cyogenmod 10 working on my i747m on Rogers.
I have found many guides and have managed to root my phone and tried installing Cy10 but got an error 7. I read that this was because of the wrong recovery version. I was told to get ROM manager and update through there. For me, however, the GS3 doesn't show up in the options.
Could someone please link me the correct files that I need? I think I know the steps, but it seems that all the files have different versions and are not compatible.
I'm trying to be very careful and not brick my phone, so I am reluctant to try anything that I'm not sure will work... I think that's why this is difficult (Rogers = AT&T? or not?, etc.)
Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to take the time to help me.
I had the exact same problem as you and what I did was flash, if I remember, cm9 and go to ROM manager and then it would show me Samsung Galaxy s3(att).

Do you remember which version of cm9? I tried that last night and I still got error 7, but maybe I used the wrong version. All I could find were nightlies, no stable ones for d2att (which is what I was told was our phone)

Error 7 is means you don't have the right requirements to start with.
If you are trying to flash bell 4.1.1 on your Rogers device running 4.0.4, you must first install bell stock 4.0.4 from Sammy site or else things like will throw error 7 during install.
Read CM10 requirements carefully...
I had the same problem. I just upgraded the CWM version to the latest one using this (its the same step, just make sure you download the right recovery):

How did you update to 6.0.1.4 when 6.0.1.2 is the latest version? And no, you don't need to re root. You don't need root to flash firmware.

Looking on the forums someone posted a link to download an updated 6.0.1.4 so I tried that since 6.0.1.2 wasnt working. There's gotta be something simple to fix that I dont know about, ive flashed and rooted my htc sensation and mytouch4g easy and never had installation failure when flashing. Can someone walk me through what exactly I need to be fully rooted and flash a rom!?
How could cwm not be working if its updated to latest version? I dont think im downloading the wrong rom and its not a bad link. Even tried dragging it onto my internal sd wirh debugging off. Btw I have the 32 gb s3 with does not have an external sd.
The way I fix that was I rerootes my phone into latest clockwork recovery. I didn't remove the root I just rerootee it. Look for cwr 6 I think.

From watching the video given for the toolkit, when in odin and have to open up pda then go to the toolkit files and then root all my files are in winRAR type and his are in tar archive type. Does that matter at all? And also when clicking on the pda then root you chose the file /boot-insecure-tmo-t99uvalem-cwm but when in odin and clicking this file on the little winrar icon to the left of the file name its the only one with a little like key lock, doesnt know if thats an issue or anything just something i noticed because when accessing the toolkit files on my c drive and going to the root folder, the key icon is no longer there.. Any ideas??
Reading about people flashing a kernal in recovery then flashing the rom and working but when you flash a rom isnt it flashing the kernal it comes with also? Or is this the problem
Well, I re ran the toolkit, re did the root and odin process same as i did the first time, downloaded rom straight from my phone flashed again still getting status 7 error/ installation aborted -______- ugh...

Look at my signature for the proper CWM. I don't know where you saw 6.0.1.4 for our device, but the main thread and the developers website show no sign of it. And download CM10 from get.cm, d2tmo. If you that doesn't work, you don't have a SGH-T999.
I can't believe I didn't see this before....what is the exact file name of the rom you are flashing?
I looked and did not see our phone listed in the op. Looks like the international one is there (codename m0?). But no d2tmo, d2att, etc.
Unless I just missed it there, you do not want to even try flashing that anymore! If I'm right you just got very lucky dude!

Glad you got it sorted out.
Just for the future though, never flash anything not built for the TMobile SGH-T999 (codename d2tmo). If you do flash an international GS3 rom it will brick your device. I think this woulda happened had the miui rom from the link in op actually flashed.

Hi all,
It's my first post here so please excuse me if I'm posting in the wrong area.
I'm a new android user. Got an G Pad a while ago and since I was not happy with the LG version of the OS I decided to flash a new ROM.
I've flashed the TWRP 2.6.3.2 following the instructions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499
And pushed the CM 11 following the instructions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565163
Everything seemed to work fine. Made a backpup. I wiped the data (factory reset from TWRP) and tried to install ROM from the zip file.
After a short wait I get a "Failed" message. THis is what it reads:
Code:

Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.

I would guess that you have flashed the wrong version of twrp.
I am under the impression that you need to flash the original twrp first, Then flash the update twrp zip.
You could do with having flashify on your tablet and use that to flash the original twrp, otherwise you will need to connect the tablet to a pc and use one of the two original methods to get twrp on your tablet.
Hope this helps, good luck

Well reading the error I've never seen an error mentioning loki.
You too could do with someone with far more experience than me helping you out.
That loki error makes me wonder if you have issues with root, hence why I thought it was an issue with twrp.
If you want a long evening you could just bite the bullet and start over again.
The last post in this thread looks like a good "how to "
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2622034
The idea is to go back to stock LG again, then root it again, then install twrp 2.6.3.1***(didn't realise 2.3.6.0 isn't there anymore) then update to 2.3.2, then flash cm11.
Now I am positive someone with more experience could get you up and running again much easier and far quicker than my suggestion.
But....... On the bright side you will gain valuable experience lol!! Which is what I usually tell myself after I have fooked up
Good luck,
And call me Rich(ard)

I knew there was a reason why you have to flash 2.6.3.1 first and that was to choose the code that matches your tablet. Read the first post in the twrp thread as well as the lokify bit.

I'm out of my depth with regard to the LG mobile tool as I've not used it. Perhaps try and get in touch with Curael as he's very helpful and is definitely more switched on than me.

Hey Richard,
Yes still stuck. I can't get past this low battery error. I'm assuming the LG Mobile tool won't work for me. But I will contact Curael anyway, hopefully he will know some tricks.
I guess my best solution now will be trying to download a nandroid backup and restore it from TWRP. Of trying downloading and flashing a flash version of the stock ROM.
Do you have any idea where can I find these files?
Really appreciate your help mate.

You could also change the recovery. Install philz advanced cwm and try flashing cm11 with this to check if that works for you.

There's no such thing as a downloadable nandroid. Unless you have uploaded your own to Dropbox for instance.
The only way you can get a flashable stock rom is if a Dev on the forum made one for us.
You see this on the popular device forums after Android updates.
I missed this before but you say you made a twrp back up but you don't mention trying to restore it?

Hi,
yes, I did something stupid and ended up formatting the g pad by accident. Lost the backup files.
I was thinking about asking a friend that has a g pad to make a backup using TWRP and trying to restore on my g pad. But I'm not sure if it would work.
Thanks for the help.

Loosing the will ... Fast. Help Please Kind PPL.
Hi, I think I am having the same problem. I rooted, and then flashed TWRP openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-awifi using flashify app then tried the CM-11 and got the failed message.
I have been rooting and flashing ROM's since the HTC Hero, I am loosing the will very fast here with the LG G PAD 8.3. If someone could post instructions, on the easiest NOOB way to install a custom ROM on this device I would be very grateful, the information is just way to fragmented right now, because LG's interface on 4.2.2 is just rubbish, Nexus 5 GEL = Awesome and that's what I want. Not sure what to do at this stage, not even sure how to boot into Recovery with this device, its well difficult. Anyone want to help? Thanks in advance if you can. Sorry if I sound down in the dumps but never really struggled like this before, should have gone with my instinct and got Nexus 7 maybe.

I have been rooting and flashing ROM's since the HTC Hero, I am loosing the will very fast here with the LG G PAD 8.3. If someone could post instructions, on the easiest NOOB way to install a custom ROM on this device I would be very grateful, the information is just way to fragmented right now, because LG's interface on 4.2.2 is just rubbish, Nexus 5 GEL = Awesome and that's what I want. Not sure what to do at this stage, not even sure how to boot into Recovery with this device, its well difficult. Anyone want to help? Thanks in advance if you can. Sorry if I sound down in the dumps but never really struggled like this before, should have gone with my instinct and got Nexus 7 maybe.

Just a quick update I resolved by flashing 2.6.3.2 using a automated script from one of the other threads, I was then able to install CM-11. Thank goodness. All is OK.
