{Q} Is there a stock rooted JB rom?

I want to put my phone back to a stock rooted rom, is there one out there?
I've looked through the development forum but can't seem to find one that is just stock.
TIA

Also, just for good measure, make sure that you download team epic root from recovery zip just in case...so that if you lose root, you can get it back.

And this....

Thank you both, I did find them on my own after I posted this.
Somehow I lost the nandroid back up on my wife's phone when I put a 64gb SD card on her phone. It may still be on the internal memory, but I don't have her phone with me at the moment.

The GS3 has problems with the 64GB memory card.

Not really. A 64GB card will work just fine with one exception. The recoveries can not access the 64GB card if it is formatted as exFAT. The ROM will handle it just fine but the recovery can only handle it if formatted to ext4 or FAT32. I still have my 64GB formatted as exFAT but I do not use if for nandroids. I either backup to internal memory or I pop in my 32GB card for recovery use.

Yes I formatted the 64gb card to fat 32 before using it in the phone.
My problem is I don't think I saved her nandroid back up from her old card, and the old one is wiped clean.
Could I use a nand from from my GS3?
I know I couldn't on my EVOs.

64GB Micro SD card issues, pls read

I had a recovery of my stock rom installed, and inserted a BRAND NEW (Bought it 30 minutes ago) 64GB SanDisk MicroSDXC card, bought from Bestbuy factory sealed. with the sdcard installed I recovered to my CM10.1 install and the SDcard does not work, it says "mount sdcard" but nothing happens when I click it. What am I doing wrong?

Should be in Q and A but to answer you only the stock touch wiz kernel and perseus support the 64gb cards....youd need to format it to 32gb or use a 32gb on cm10 if I am correct.

Not true. You should have no problem running a 64gb card on an AOSP rom as long as it is formatted to fat32. I am currently running a 64gb sandisk card and my current rom is liquidsmooth but have also used it on carbon, rootbox, paranoid as well as a few touchwiz based roms with no issues. Just make sure you format the card to fat32 and you should be fine.

No support for exfat, so you'll have to format to fat 32, which defeats the purpose of a high capacity card.
(can't store files bigger then 4gb aka HD rips)
Although there are some hacks on this board that may work.

Xfat from my understanding only works on stock kernel and persus from what I remember reading unless the dev added the support so like it was mentioned formatting it to fat32 on that size card defeats that cards purpose....I should have been clearer since the OP said it doesn't work on cm10 but did on his gfs phone that seemed like why to me. :thumbup:

So, can we expect ex fat support on cm10.1 anytime soon?

sd card issues with aosp/cm roms....................that's why I stay away from those roms in that thread...........those roms look bad-ass, but not worth sd card issues, i.e. reformatting to fat32 and such..........not worth it.

I wouldn't get anything over 32gigs...unless you plan on downloading a bunch of pics, games, videos and apps..my 16gig is perfect for me.

The above poster is correct if you want to run aosp or cm gotta format to fat32..
And yes some kernels other then stick and Perseus have issues reading exfat.
But there isn't a Damn thing wing with running perseus they are dope.

SD card not mounting/cant flash ROM

I have CWM 6.0.3.1 installed and im rooted. When I go into recovery the SD card does not mount. So I can't flash a new ROM. I tried to format the SD card in the phone but that did'nt help either. I have the stock ROM with 4.1.2. Can i use the stock recovery to flash a ROM or do I need CWM? When im in stock recovery the card is mounted and I can read it. Its just in CWM it will not mount,
btw-im trying to flash cm10 dont know if that matters.

Have you tried TWRP? What type of card? What's the size?

Why not Odin flash the stock-rooted rom and then you can flash cwm/twrp custom roms or just stay stock rooted.
Either way it will fix your mounting issue for sure.
Big mistake if you're going to flash cm10, you are just asking for problems unless you like experimentation.
Good luck!

I did Odin flash like you told me in another post. It got the phone back up but I cant get the card to mount in CWM. I guess Ill try TWRP. Thanks for the heads up on cm10. I could stay stock but I wanted to increase the CPU speed and get some features stock does'nt have. I don't want to turn this into "whats the best ROM" but can you tell me a good one without problems.

I guess it has to do witht the SD card. I used a 1gb and it works fine. But i still need to figure out how to make the 64gb card work.

Not sure that the 64GB cards work on AOSP. Pretty sure you need TouchWiz ROM for that.

The 64GB are in EXFAT format and I don't believe CWM can identify the card in that format. You will need to format the card to FAT32 on your pc and then the recovery should read your card.

That's only one of many reasons why I always try to advise people to stay away from AOKP/AOSP/CM roms.
All of them have inferior cameras and none have wifi calling.
Those roms were meant for developers or for those who like to do a lot of experimentation.
I just got a 64gb sdcard yesterday and it works perfectly, I had a 16gb card which worked perfectly too.
The rom I am using now is jovy's Stockorama v1 which is not exactly stock, it is deoxidized and debloated
and has many mods and lot's of improvements when compared to stock rom.

Weird, when I go to format my card I can only do FAT32 or NTFS. No other options are there, its win 7.

As I said, FAT32 is the one you wanna format it to lol
I formatted mine way back in September of last year. Never had a single issue with my card on stock or AOSP based Roms.

All sdcards come pre-formatted with FAT32 as default because they perform better and
faster than other formats when used in cell phones and other small devices.
The only advantage of formatting sdcards with other than the default format is when you are
dealing with files larger than 4GB in size. Most people will never have to deal with files of that
size unless they want to use their phones to record video for more than 8 hours continuously.
There are many 3rd party windows 7 utilities which have other format options like MiniTool partition wizard it's a free
(for home use) partition manager that can format a partition as EXT2/3/4 from windows - http://www.partitionwizard.com

I know the aosp/aokp/cm based roms do recognize most sdcards but we are talking about 64gb sdcards
and that's where many of those roms have a problem recognizing and formatting the 64gb sdcard.

Hmm.. That's odd. I'm currently running Liquidsmooth 2.4 with my FAT32 formatted 64 GB SanDisk Class 10 card with no issues. It's been almost a year now since moving from EXFAT.
It has worked on both CWM and TWRP recovery for me.

See like I said above, TWRP is the best way to go. It was updated not to long ago to be able to identify EXFAT format. Glad you got it working dude.

[Q] Factory Reset on T999L

I can't believe I searched for a while and I couldn't find the answer to this basic question, sorry if I didn't search enough and this has been answered before.
Does Factory Resetting my Galaxy S3 LTE on stock 4.3 erase all the data on my Internal SD card? And just to make 100% clear, I mean the internal 12ish GB SD card and not the external SD card.

Doing a Factory reset only wipes the Data partition which only includes the installed applications and settings, not the internal memory also known as Internal SDcard.. I would make a backup just to be safe.. But your data will be fine..

Sounds good, thanks for the reply!
On another note, I see you have the T999L and I must ask, does the ROM that you mention in your signature work fine for this phone? I mean, I've read that there are not many ROMS for the LTE version of the Galaxy S3.

Yeah.. The S3Rx will install perfectly on any T999, its pretty universal..
Its my favorite touchwiz rom.. There isnt much difference between the T999 and the T999L
The only adjustment I had to make was changing the Model number from T999 to T999L in my Build Prop which really didnt have to be done, but I did it for aesthetics..
