[Q] Ready to take the plunge to CM10 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Got my S3 not too long ago, and I'm wanting to try out the CM10 nightlies. I want to know what you guys have found to be the best method of getting there. It looks to me like the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit is a pretty straightforward method for flashing CWM, and then I can flash CM10 from there. Is that the easiest and most fail-proof method?
Thanks.

Once ur on a custom rooted rom nd recovery... all u need to do is wipe ur "system" and "user data" then flash the version of cm that u want. Just remember that in order to go back to a sprint tw rom u have to use odin...

The keypad is really laggy for me. I've tried the Samsung one, Go, and Swift key. It is just horrible. Is there a way this can be fixed on ICS? Should I try an ICS custom ROM?

Do I took from ICS with the following procedure?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194&page=85
If you want to do it in CWM or TWRP recovery:
1. Do a full wipe. (Darkside full wipe is the easiest otherwise, do a factory reset)
2. Install GB compatible radio from Mr. X's radio thread. (Even though, the new TLLE4 telus radio for example, will still work.)
3. Install Juggernaut 5.0
4. Reboot and wait.
flash superwipe then the rom.

Only time I had issues with it not working was when I dun goofed my root and I think the issue was I didn't have busy box.
make sure that is installed. Also make sure you are rooted first..
Other then that in detail say what is happening.
Exactly the same as cwm. Except all wiping option are put together in the wipe menu, you can select multiple file to flash on after another and fix permissions is in the advanced menu.

man oh man ,, for some reason i can never install cm10 on my galaxy s3 i747m rogers (att) i tried cwm and twrp both said failed whyyyyy is this happening lol
thank goodness i have backups
can someone tell me how come i cant do this, my galaxy already rooted with superuser rootuscanada file ive and my phone is unlocked what is left
???
Exactly what error is it giving you?
I just picked up my s3 yesterday and was receiving an error 7 with both twrp and cwm. Turned out I needed the latest version of cwm (I picked touch) located
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager to be able to successfully flash the latest cm nightly.
I would try updating to the latest cwm... worked for me.

The newest version of TWRP, 2.3.X, isn't supported by all ROMs yet. They made a ton of backend changes to improve performance. And I'm guessing CM hasn't included the new update-binary in their builds.

Flash the correct build with oden for root and if you want to flash roms flash a recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747M running CM10
I been using the latest version of TWRP and flashed today's CM10 with the KT747 kernel. So, it is supported with non problems here.
Running AT&T SGS3 if that helps.

[Q] cmw

hey everyone
is there a way to do all those cool thing you guys talk about WITHOUT using cmw? because my last gio crashed while flashig it with the android third recovery and i had to buy a new one...
what do you want to do? you can't flash custom roms with the stock recovery. you cant do backups. you can only wipe data with the stock recovery (and flash zips)
and btw if you want to flash the cwm recovery DONT use rom manager (or whatever the app is called)
are you sure?
totally brick while u flash CMW??

Dude 1 of the most important requirements of rooting and using other custom rom is the CWM!

Wanna revert to ics...

Hey guys, im rooted on stock jb for tmobile with stock recovery. I wanna get custom recovery and flash back to ics and use a custom rom like wicked v7.
To do this do I just download goo manager, install its recovery, wipe then flash? Or do I have to change the firmware etc?
Sorry, I usually search for my solutions but im read mixed stuff on reverting and I really dont wanna brick this thing. I even kinda forgot how to do all this since I havent touched my old sensation in months.
Thanks guys.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yup.
If you're rooted, 1. download goo manager 2. install openrecovery script 3. flash ROM of choice. You may need to wipe cache and data if you get a bunch of FC's since you're going back to ICS from JB. Don't forget to do a nandroid (step 2.5).
Already on Frosty ics, but thanks guyss
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What I would first do is Odin the ics so you have all drivers installed properly then root and flash rom of choice
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I agree with Crisisx1. I know you said you're already running Frosty (I'm a Wicked guy myself) but if you notice any anomalous behavior, I'd definitely Odin to stock ICS and then go through the proper flashing process. This will ensure all of your partitions/drivers are properly set up. GL man.
So far so good, if any weird things happen ill deff odin back, thanks again guys.

Rooting Galaxy S2/ Custom Roms [Virgin Mobile]

I am really scared of bricking my phone and wanted to ask xda to clarify and help me out putting a custom rom on my phone. I have had custom roms on my optimus v and htc one v but never a samsung device and im scared hearing about these bugs that brick your phone and whatever odins are. Can someone give me a guide to root/put a safe recovery on my phone then explain odins? Htc devices have nothing like these sorry if this thread was pointless, if anything just point me to a thread thanks

Rooting is rooting. Once you're rooted you can flash whatever you want. Just follow the guides and you'll be fine. If you figured out how to root htc, this is a breeze!

Yes, through odin, but if you want to flash custom roms, use el26 custom recovery. Roms come with their own kernel, some custom. But is you are rooted, and want to stay with your jb stock, you can flash agat's or garwynn's custom kernel, both have cwm.

I'm assuming you're trying to install CM 10.1. If your have ics modem, flash el26, reboot into recovery, flash rom, gapps, modem, reboot, profit

So i can flash this el26cwm recovery/zip kernal in recovery? And then just a Fl26.zip [Ics modem] in recovery aswell? I think i saw somewhere that CDMA cannot flash modems through recovery.. MobileOdin does not work my GS2. {VM]

Mobile Odin can not flash modems anyway, and yes, you can flash el26 cwm in the recovery your have now, as long as its zip format. Boot to recovery, flash el26, reboot into new recovery, flash rom, gapps, modem, reboot, enjoy.
