[ROM] (6/23/12) NANDROID Restore Stock ICS 4.0.4 Galaxy S III T-Mobile T999

NANDROID Restore Stock ICS 4.0.4 Galaxy S III T-Mobile T999​for T-Mobile GS3 T999 only!​
(This Nandroid restore is not rooted and is using the T-Mobile Stock Kernel.)​
Instructions:
1. You must have ROM Manager installed and or ClockworkMod Recovery flashed and an external sdcard installed. Then have the directory and file contents of the "T999-Stock.rar" file parts extracted to your internal SDMemory in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/T999-Stock directory. If the directory does not exist then create it.
There must be a directory called "T999-Stock" in the "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" subdirectory and the files must be directly in that directory, not in another nested directory or Nandroid will not find the files. (Note: If you have any spaces in your directory name. You will get a md5 check some error.)
​
2. Run ROM Manager and choose Reboot into Recovery or boot phone into clockworkmod recovery.
3. In recovery go down to backup and restore, choose restore.
4. Select T999-Stock and choose Yes - Restore.
5. When the restore finishes do not reboot yet. Do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery menu (just to be thorough).
6. When it completes choose Reboot.

As far as rar files , well, that's an old school computer thing. As far as what is offered here is a Nandroid restore to get to stock that you restore from ClockworkMod recovery.
1. There is not an oden restore available yet for our phone. And is only needed if you really bone up your phone.
2. Nandroid restore can be done without having to have a PC on hand. You can do it from your phone, anywhere.

Downloading this now then will work with base.

THANK YOU!
This totally saved my behind! I used Titanium Backup to restore too much and it messed up some important system files. Until you posted this, I couldn't send text messages or make calls.
THANK YOU!

I don't have a sprint phone, so it's untested. I put tmo only because it came from a tmo phone. I won't support any other.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app

This is a totally n00b question, sorry.
I put this on an sdmicro card as an insurance policy, under /clockworkmod/backups, stuck it into the back of the S3.
But when i boot into clockwork (from clockworkmod.tar), it doesn't see the sdmicro card at all - it sees the internal 32 GB as '/sdcard' and there doesn't seem to be a way to get CWM to find the one on the actual sdcard (even if I mount sd_external). Is there a way to do that on this thing, or just make sure you copy to internal 'sdcard' over usb? Which I've done now.

it seems that the location of the external is different now so that's probably why you can't see it in recovery
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

has anyone "pulled" the stock recovery .img file for the T999 (if it's even possible to grab it somehow?)? It would be great to have a .tar to flash back to that... unless the international stock recovery tar works for it?

[Confirmed] Verizon TWRP 2.2 working on Sprint

Team Win's official Sprint version http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/107
Everything else is no longer needed
I installed the Verizon version this morning and everything seems to be working. The problem is Goo Manager won't install it for you and on the TWRP site it's still the 2.1.8 version.
So what you need to do is go on Goo Manage, go to browse all files, /devs/teamwin//twrp2/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-d2vzw.img
Download that and move it to the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.img
Open up and Terminal emulator and type the following code
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery
And there you go a[n almost] fully functional (from what I've seen) newest version of TWRP
Downloads:
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-d2vzw.img
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-d2vzw.tar
With the download you can use and adb to push it
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery
Edit: playing with this some more it can't get either sdcard to mount in recovery. So if you are going to use this make sure everything is on your sdcard before you reboot into recovery
Edit 2: To get CM9 to flash you need to do the following steps:
on your phone:
1. Extract the nightly zip
2. open the extracted folder
3. Navigate to META-INF>>com>>google>>android>>updater script
4. open it with a text editor and delete the first two lines
5. Zip it back up
6. Flash!!
Any rom that gives you an error 7 when you try and flash this is probably the problem.

Have you tested it yourself?
I do believe I saw issues of it not backing up / restoring properly / difficulty accessing the external sdcard.

backup/restore works. it appears neither of the sdcards are mountable, but both are accessible in file manager so you have to put everything where you want it before you reboot into recovery. I'll still take it over CMW

Well the latter isn't really an issue, since i normally through it on there. but if backup/restore is working nicely, I'm deucing out on CWM. Just wish it was in a .tar format so I can flash with mobile odin.

give this a shot. Make sure you got CWM to revert back to. I just used BitZipper to convert to a .tar file, so I don't know if it will work. Can't hurt anything.

Mmm true. Just backup up using twrp and it was nice and flashed a rom. Both files located on internal/external storage. I'll have to give it a go on mobile odin.

The file will never flash mainly because the image that you tar up MUST be named correctly. A recovery image needs to be named recovery.img before you tar it or it will crash Odin before even flashing it. I dont know if the Bitzipper method would have worked but I have made a working tar to flash via Odin for anyone who wants to try it out.
Mark.

How is this working for you guys? Any bugs or anything not working? I just got clockwork touch recovery working for sprint and I would rather use twrp if it's fully functional

Not if you want your phone to work version roms will not work on our phone. This is just a recovery.

Thanks. I had CWM touch installed but didn't like some of the issues such as incorrect date stamp and not being able to choose sd or extSd. It was one or the other. I can easily deal with not mounting sd from recovery. I have also always liked the way twrp would compress my backups.
Downloaded and used Mobile Odin Pro for the first time. Very easy and painless to use. The biggest failure with desktop Odin was the usb cord and drivers. Mobile Odin eliminates those quirks.
Edit: WTH... Still doesn't know the damned date... Lol.. It's using the same 1970 date that every recovery has had.

Did you get permission to post this
Even if you did discover it you still need permission to post someone else's work
Thanks for the discovery though
On a side note I'm not trying to attack you or anything

GNex Bricked - Tried Fastboot/ODIN/OMAP

I am pretty new to flashing and rooting android phones. I have a GNex 4.1.1 JB Stock ROM. It was stuck in a boot loop somehow and I wasn't able to fix it by factory reset. Someone told me to unlock and root the phone to install a new stock ROM.
I unlocked using the Wuz toolkit. But rooting wasnt possible because I couldnt push files through ADB. Then I tried doing an ODIN flash using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827685). But I got stuck at NAND Write Start.
Now I have a Phone <-> Yellow Triangle with Exclamation <-> Computer. Which I believe is download mode for Samsung.
Then I tried an OMAP Flash using this method (http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1465412.html). I was successful installing the OMAP drivers and running the bat file. However I am still have the phone/yellow/triangle/Computer logo on my screen.
I tried to do an ODIN flash again but still stuck at NAND Write Start.
I already tried to do this:
1.) Repartiion using the PIT file [ODIN]
2.) Then OMAP flash
3.) Then Flash PDA file using ODIN.
I also tried it by swapping steps 1 & 2 but no progress.Can someone tell me the exact sequence of steps or any advice what to do now?

First of all, let me list your mistakes before I help you out:
Mistake #1: You used a toolkit. By doing so, you skipped over the entire learning part of unlocking and flashing your device, so you have no idea what went wrong or what you did.
Mistake #2: You used Odin when you didn't have to. You can mess up your device with Odin, while it is next to impossible to do so using fastboot. We have a Nexus device, i.e. a device with an unlockable bootloader and the ability to use fastboot. In my opinion, Odin should only be used as a last resort.
Mistake #3: You did not read enough before you decided to fix your bootloop. There are a bunch of stickies in the General and Q&A sections. Did you read any of them?
Now, on to fixing your issue.
Go to the Dev section and find the IMM76D Odin file in a thread started by Chainfire.
Follow the instructions in that thread to flash the complete package. Odin should be able to flash your device even though you are on the screen you currently see. Do not use a JB Odin package, use an ICS package.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I read a few articles and i know it wasnt enough. I posted a thread on android central and a senior wrote down some steps and i followed that. But going for odin and omap was totally my experiment.
I links to the imm76d image do not work any more. File not found error. There were no other sources i could find. Do you have another link to the file?

I downloaded the image and tried an odin flash but seems to be stuck at nand write start. I also see that this process does not have a pit to repartition. I had previously tried to re partition it using the pit file given in the jb stock rom odin image. Can i use the same one here?

You shouldn't need the .pit file. That's what probably messed things up in the first place.
If Odin is not working, I guess you can try Omap flash and then Odin. Note that if you try omap flash, and then Odin still doesn't work, I don't think you have any other option besides sending it in for repair.

I tried the OMAP Flash. It executes perfectly in the command window but my phone still shows the "connect phone to PC" picture with yellow excalmation. After that I tried ODIN flash the IMM76D tar file but I am still stuck at NAND Write flash. What I want to know is that what are the reason for getting stuck at NAND write flash and what should have happened to my phone after OMAP Flash was complete?
Furthermore I was also thinking if using a USB jig would help me get back into fastboot.

After OMAP Flash, you should still see the "connect phone to PC" picture with yellow exclamation, but now Odin should have worked. Not sure why it gets stuck on NAND write flash. Maybe try un-checking the F. Reset Time option. Someone about a week ago said that it worked for him.

SCH S960L debrick img pretty please? Will pay!

Been sitting on this Tracfone GSIII for 3 weeks doesn't turn on aka hard bricked. Realy really REALLY need a system dump or at least the .img to load to my SD so I can bring it back to life.
$10 to the PayPal of whoever can get it as it seems to be a growing trend among Tracfone users who tried to flash Sprint rom and got a brick same as me. No BS will pay!
Please?!

am i guessing that nobody either can do it, has it, will do it, or wants $10? how about if i personally deliver cookies to your door?
please?

FYI a system dump won't help you debrick.

OK well what is the file from the SD unbrick thread that forces the phone to boot from the SD to the bootloader? Where can I get it? How is it ripped etc etc. My boss said he would get another one so I can fix THIS one but I don't know what file is required or where it is located on the device. It would be much appreciated if someone could tut out how the original file was pulled so we can at least TRY this on similar devices.
I tried with the file in the thread but im assuming since it is only a brother device the phone isnt gonna recognize the partitioned sd, even though the sticker says L710 under the model number S960l. Also its been claimed that flashing a stock Sprint rom from TWRP is viable, but instead it bricked me

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!! I dont have it yet, but as soon as I do the promised deposit is yours! Worked first time, no issues whatsoever.
Funnily enough, for the s&g's I decided to factory wipe from the recovery (which surprisingly booted as well) and the stock LJ7 Sprint rom that initially bricked it booted like a champ only thing was no sound, so which rom will work for this beast?
Also, mind if YouTube a tut for this?

glad you are all set, sprint roms work fine on this device, just not the bootchain which you flashed.
grab clockworkmod or twrp recovery for the sprint s3 and flash the latest cm nightly and you should be all set. except apn's but im gunna guess you dont have those so youll want to contact someone else who has this phone and try to get them. ive doen all i can for this device in that i helped get cm patched to work for yall, and unbrick stuff for yall.

The gt-p5210 pit seems to be impossible to find unless you speak farsi and want to pay a site in Iran for it.
But dont give up hope. I have a couple feelers of there and maybe I'll get a bite for you.
In the mean time you just might want to give the 5200 pit a shot. Cant hurt too much being you're in a bootloop already.
But of course I must say do it at you own risk.

You have not mention why you need the pit. The pit mention before was grabed from P5210 using the following command in terminal or adb:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176
once you execute, go to your Sdcard folder and look for out.pit.
This is a command many Samsung devices share. I am confidece that the output is correct. But no one has confirmed using it succefully.
In any case I sugest you use that command your self to get your own pit and compare with the one I posted in my original post.

4.4.2 Is a troubled game! You never can be sure what is going on if you change things in system!.
In a worst case a loop-boot can be as result of Lock boot failing dm-verify!
Google suggest Manufacturers to start enforcing on a limited population for testing!. Who knows maybe that is the root cause!
Just as some Galaxy S4, that got screw by Samsung!!!!. Bad weather is coming!
I been adding libraries.ko to mount my wireless hard drive. The libraries do not survive for long and they get purge of \system in short time. New Installed KO's never survive a reboot!
Even compiling the kernel act weird. I can not select all libraries. If I go and edit .config manually, when I execute make, a script revert back what I had change so that the lib.ko do not get build!!!
I have not double check but the wifi symbol at then top keep showing the something is downloading!
This make me think? Did you guys did not forgot to disable OTA updates?

Did you ever get this to work?
I have tried the pit file and different stock versions of the OS but I still keep getting a reset after the Galaxy Tab 3 screen and then it like acts like it's going into recovery and even if i have twrp it'll show it for a brief second and then reboot again.
I am about ready to throw this stupid thing in the recycling bin.

sorry to bother... i just tried to upgrade my Tab 3, and now it is stuck in an endless boot loop.
i've tried flashing my tablet with Odin 3.07 with the factory image, a pre-rooted image and also cyanogenmod 12.1 - all have appeared to be successful, but the result is the same - boot loop.
i've also gone through loading the 3 images on the MicroSD card and installing them via recovery mode. i was careful to wipe the data and cache partitions prior.
still, endless boot loop. i'd really rather not recycle this device... if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!

just a heads up. i was able to fix my Tab today.
this video shows all the steps outlined. basically, install TWRP, clear all the partitions (on the internal storage), install your image.
