[NO LONGER REQUIRED] Testers for dsixda's Android Kitchen (for Sprint GS3)

Hi guys,
I have recently added support for the Galaxy S3 for my Android ROM kitchen, and have confirmed that ROMs can successfully be built and flashed for the GS3 variants for AT&T, T-Mobile and International.
Since I don't have the Sprint device, I was wondering if some of you can confirm it works for the SPH-L710 (and also the C Spire SCH-L710).
Please follow the instructions below to use the kitchen for your GS3. These are T-Mobile instructions but should also work for the Sprint model:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939420
Would be greatly appreciated!

No one wants to give this a shot? It should definitely work, since the file format of the Sprint S3 custom ROMs are similar to that of the other S3 variants.

No ROM customizing experience required, maybe some basic Linux/UNIX command knowledge... but the FAQ should help you out.

Excellent! I've been studying up on Android development. I can't wait to get familiar with this! Thank you for this opportunity!

Running this right now on a Linux box(Mint 13 Cin.). Will report back. Attempting to do the latest jelly bean leak.

How'd it go? Make sure you have latest version of kitchen.

Ran it and it wouldn't flash on my phone. Attempting to use my windows box just to see if it wasn't something that I did that made it not work.
Same thing happened on my other box. Keeps failing when it says updating cache. Says it expects an arguement of four but is only getting three.

Updating cache? What did you try to do to your rom? Did you start with a stock, unmodified rom? The error about the arguments has to do with the update-binary, but first I need to know what you are doing. Simplest thing to do is to just root it and then flash that.

I am definitely interested in this. I'll try to get it prepped if the gf relinquishes my pc to me =(. Wb dsixda. Saw your kitchen was on hiatus before. Now to cook up some custom roms for myself and friends.

I had the stock deodexed LIH update. It was in zip format. All I did was run it through the kitchen. (Make a working folder and the option 99 to build from working folder). I made no edits whatsoever. I used the interactive mode to build the rom. Both times, it failed on me with the same code. I can upload the update-binary from the one I built if that will help.

No no... that's not the way I intended it. I linked a guide on the first post, please do not ignore the instructions. The kitchen will not work with someone else's zipped ROM - everyone uses their own methods. Start with an untouched stock ROM image and root it, then flash it.

Ok got it. Read the instructions wrong. Only have the LG8 in tar format that I will try. I flash this via odin when I have problems. Will report back.

Ran the odin files through the kitchen and the rom booted up just fine.

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

If you are familiar with Odin, which you should be since you rooted your phone just use it to install the stock ROM. You will lose root so just be aware in case you want to flash another ROM later.

[Q] I want Tmobile ROM on GT-I9505

Hi, I am totally a newbie for this. I have got Galaxy S4, which is GT-I9505 but then I would like to have T-mobile ROM running on it. How far is it possible??? If so can you please guide me through each steps. Also please give me the dis advantages of having Tmobile ROM on GT-I9505. Thanks in Advance.

The rom which you want to flash, that version should match your mobile version. If you want to flash tmobile version of rom, you may hard brick your device.
Hit thanks if you think i sabed your device

type your mobile name and the carrier on which you are. and the name of the rom you want!
if you want some other unofficial roms, then make sure they are supported by your carrier device. ask the developer of that rom about this. plz click thanks insted of saying!
:laugh::good:

Basically take whatever ROM you want from the i9505 and flash it via CWM or any custom recovery, but NOT via Odin; this is due that Odin flashables usually include the i9505 modem... It won't brick your device, but you will be left without a signal.
Btw, make sure you flash a Samsung based T Mobile kernel (original, faux etc) AFTER flashing the ROM you want. Otherwise you could have a potential soft brick in your hands .
To wrap it up, it's :
1- Flash rom of choice via custom recover, not Odin
2- Flash T Mobile, Samsung based kernel via custom recovery.
3- Enjoy!

You can safely flash any of the Tmobile S4 Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 cwm/twrp flashable custom roms.
The Wicked and the Darthstalker roms both work fine on the i9505 Galaxy S4 phone.
You can find both of these excellent custom roms in the "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development" threads.
Both of these roms are based on the latest M919UVUAMDL firmware.
If you want more information and details about these roms you can find it in their threads here in xda.
Always do a full wipe including Factory Reset, Wipe System, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache before flashing.
Be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing any roms.
Good luck!

[Q] Updated stock ROM -- lost Wi-Fi!

I downloaded the cdma file for the SPH-L710 from Sammobile.com and flashed it with Mobile Odin. I now have 4.1.2 but my Wi-Fi radio won't turn on no matter what I do. The 4G is working and everything else is OK except my e-mail went from white background with black letters to black background with white letters. I can live with the e-mail like that but I need my Wi-Fi! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WiFi not kicking on is Kernel related, If you flashed a different one, Reflash it or try a different one.

I saw the stock MD4 (4.1.2) Touch Wiz but I was unsure if Touch Wiz is what I needed. I am on Sprint in the US and my phone is SPH-L710. With my Galaxy S1, I had Cyanogen Mod which I flashed nightly builds and then my phone died (black screen) after 2 years. I've had the S3 for a few months. I rooted it but did not modify anything so my flashing skills are rusty . Someone suggested Mobile Odin so that's what I used to flash the firmware.
