So I tried to load a ROM onto my T-Mobile galaxy S 2 T989 and it now has no system at all. I need help trying to figure out how I can load a stock ROM onto the phone. I can still get into the recovery, but every time I go to load a ROM onto it no matter where the .zip file is from it always says the file is bad I will abort. It is starting to irritate me and I am about ready to throw my phone at a cement wall. Someone please help me. Please and thank you to the people out there that know more about this stuff than I do.
OK first of all u need to download some files .. like stock ROM and Odin.. then u gotta get our phone in downloading mode so u can flash stock ROM with Odin .. check this out

Do you happen to have the link to that one. Thank you both for replying to my post so quickly. I wasn't able to get my phone into download more. Last night right as I was about to give up my phone finally went into the mode I needed it to. So I have the super stock ROM on there. I would still very much appreciate the link to be able to download "Slim 4.1.1"

Ive been working on getting cm10 on my t999 gs3 but cannot figure out how to get cwm touch on the phone. I already have cwm 5.5 but it gives me an error when applying update from sd (trying to install cm10 nightly latest build).
The newest cwm is a .img file in which I have not a clue how to install. I was getting used to flashing tar files with odin.

Download rom manager from store and install recovery from there. Much easier and less likely to cause problems with a typo.

Was stuck in a boot loop, reinstalled cm10 and gapps. Working well now. But the SD card doesnt mount? All I can see is onboard memory. Is this a common issue with cm10?
So two days ago I rooted + installed cm10, I was having some issues so I did a dark side wipe and re-installed cm10 after that I didn't not think I had wiped my phone properly so I went back and did the factory rest wipe... Well oops... Now my phone won't do a darkside wipe or install cm10. It just sits on the installing text. I was able to use my back up which also seems very bugged, when I try to restart it just sits on the goodbye screen (just one of the big things I've noticed). What do I need to do to fix this, please explain in laymen terms so I can fix this, thank you and sorry for my ignorance....

Get it into download mode, and flash a newer recovery with Odin. Then flash any rom with the newer recovery. And don't use ROM manager until you know a bit more of what you're doing.

You say that I should install a new ROM from odim ?
Unless you have those dark side wipe zips on your card then your going to have to back to stock and do it all over again when you get back and running make sure to use a new CWM 6.0.2.5 or higher and remember how to flash wipe data/ factory reset then wipe cache /dalvik then format system in mounts and storage and you will always have a clean ROM install

Hi
I'm new to android and is kind of confusing to me on how everything works. Right now I have a at&t Galaxy s3 running android version 4.0.4. I've been wanting to upgrade to the latest jelly bean version. I did try upgrading from the software from Samsung Kies but it does not want to work, it does not recognize the phone completely. I am rooted (Kernel version - 3.0.8) and also I have a rom installed (Triune II) that I basically do not remember how I did it. All I want is to find a way to install the latest jelly bean software on my phone. I did search the forums here at XDA developers website but cannot find a way to do it since there is so many roms and software's to choose from and I'm worried about breaking my phone since I do not know exactly which one to download. I don't know how everything with android really works with all the Kernels and all these things. I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this issue. Please!!!
Thanks
Nelson
You didn't search but its OK
You can't upgrade rooted devices via Kies.
If you were able to flash one custom rom you should be able to do it again by simply following directions on a ROMs thread.
Look for your desired ROM (the name and android version is the name of the thread)
And just follow instructions and you should be set

Yes after you're rooted you can go from 4.0 to 4.2
Make sure your recovery is up to date.
If its not you can find the latest in the ATT Android Development thread
When flashing AOSP based ROMs like Liquid Smooth make sure to follow the instructions and download both ROM and Gapps files and flash them both ( 1st ROM than Gapps) and you should be set.

Click menu than your option should be there.
I recommend trying them all out!
No ROM will be better than another.
It all comes down to you and the features you want. Read the ROMs description and see what they're packed with.
Watch a YouTube video or read up on how to wipe your cache & delvik, factory reset and all that before flashing so you boot up with out errors.
Its quite easy and fun.
Do not install anything thru GooManager unless you know absolutely what you are doing. Stick to ATT Android Development and ATT Original Android Development ... Do not and I repeat DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FROM INTERNATIONAL S3 OR ANY OTHER PHONE. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE

Yea, I will now... after you explain everything now it looks more simpler I did not know for a fact that I could flash a jelly bean rom if I was still on 4.0 now I get the meaning of a rooted device. Also I notice I can download roms thru that app goomanager. After the download is complete for both the rom and gapps I can go ahead and get into recovery and flash them right? Also one last question... nandroid is for me to do a backup? I will find that in recovery mode? How does it really work?

Yes once they're downloaded flash thru recovery but remember to wipe! And make sure what you have downloaded is absolutely for the US veriant of the S3 or has d2att in the name.
Nandroid will be found in TWRP recovery.
Its just kind of like assurance. If you flash something that boot loops you can revert to your backup.

Okay, I'm not sure what you flashed with Odin. Download twrp and flash the recovery img in the past, with everything unchecked. Once you boot into recovery you have to flash the root file in the twrp root kit on that site.
