Any courageous testers want to flash a super risky zip - Sprint LG Optimus G

I'm 80% sure it'll brick your device, so hopefully it's a Sprint employee with spare Optimus devices that are going to Asurion anyway.

What is it thats so risky?

Wanna try porting korean zip with your stock zip.

Stock ROM?

Anyone have the stock rom for Rogers or ATT or any zipped rom for I317
Is the tar file not up on Sammy mobile?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know where to get it ... do you have a link to that site?
Just checked SamMobile. They don't have SGH-I317M firmware.
PLEASE someone post a link to STOCK ROM, or MODEM, or KERNEL
I will highly appreciate it!
You'll have to get someone who is rooted to post a dump. Until the push an OTA update we likely won't have a firmware available. I know it is being monitored on Rogers. If you have different APNs or want a different company stock you will need to send them your info.
Watch on samsung-updates.com as well. Email them your info if you are on a different network. They respond very quickly.

If you can upload that would be great. I don't see the files for SGH-i317m
EDIT: Nevermind just found it. Do I just flash this zip with CWM?
EDIT2: Tried flashing with Odin but kept getting error. I guess I'll wait till there is a custom ROM flashable with CWM that uses the ATT version till I can get my radio working again.

if its the firmware from sammobile you'll need to extract the tar file from it. Then put it in the PDA slot in Odin and flash the tar.

Now I'm scared to update. LOL Na I'll wait for a Jellybean Upgrade.
Has any one tried to install the zip from LG just using recovery yet? Or is it not setup like that. They say you have to use the tool and your PC, but I assume thats for all the "regular" users that don't play mind games with their phones lol.
I would try it right now but I'm at work and need my phone tonight after work so can't risk bricking it tonight lol.

hopefully some body makes a flashable version for modded recoveries.
any new radios? will this fix that sms bug?

W.I.P. Rom(port) miracle whiz. Rooted, deodexed. Multiwindow

This rom is a port from the note 2 ota update. It is a stock touchwiz based rom that is a work in progress. I need testers who will give positive feedback and ideas for updates. This rom has not yet been debloated. As this rom gets tested and I figure out which apps is and which apps is not used in multiwindow I will start to debloat on future updates. This is my first rom and as of right now it is working on my AT&T galaxy s3. If you are with another carrier and try this rom and it works please leave comments saying what carrier you are with. This is a test version so im sure we will find things that dont work if so let me know and ill work on a patch or update to fix any problems. I dont mind answering any questions but please read the thread all the way thru. Its a waste of time to keep answering the same questions over and over...
Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible for bricked phones, damaged phones, thermo neuclear melt down, inner planetary war, the economy, or a melt down of society....
Install instructions.... please read and follow step by step. If you do not follow directions to the letter then do not complain to me if your phone explodes, acts funny, or becomes a paperweight..
1. Download and copy the rom to your sd card.
2. Boot into recovery. I strongly recommend using TWRP especially if your sd card is in exfat format. Here is the link to the thread on XDA for the only version of TWRP to support exfat. The official TWRP on goo im will NOT support exfat on this version will. No version of CWM for the S3 will support exfat. I have read cases where both CWM and the official TWRP have recognized exfat cards but really screwed the flash up when attempted. So if you have exfat sd card and do not use the version below and end up with a bricked phone do not cry to me. It only takes a few minutes to download and flash the zip file in the thread below. Also the work in the thread below I take no credit for so go hit up
Eaglerazor123's thanks button for his fine work with this great recovery. ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36095505
3. Dont be foolish or in a hurry. Take time to make a backup while you in recovery anyway. It only takes a couple of minutes and could really save you a great big headache later...
4.Format system, wipe data, (factory reset) wipe cache, then dalvick cache.. never ever dirty flash a phone. If you do not wipe everything do not cry to me when your phone dont work..
5. Flash the file you downloaded to your sd card.
6. Reboot. First boot will take some time so dont panic. Mine first boot took 5 minutes.
7. Enjoy...
Features..... this list will change as I update the rom..
1. Port from the note 2 ota update.
2. Rooted.
3. Deodexed.
4. Multiwindow
5. Touchwiz base.
Coming soon...
1. Themes
2. Debloating
3. Battery mods
4. Build prop edits
5. Audio mod
And much more...

From the search I just did this is a common problem with cwm on the s3. Error 6 means something is going on with your sd card. Did you download to external or internal sd? And is your external sd card formatted in exfat? If so cwm does not handle exfat. There is a version of twrp that can handle exfat and it is what I used to flash this. I hope someone using twrp tries this that way ill know if I got an upload problem or if its a cwm thing. Oh is your version of cwm the latest version and is it touch? I really feel this is a cwm problem or a bad upload. Did you happen to check the md5?

Jellybean ZVB Stock Rooted ROM Flashable ZIP

Alright everyone. Here is a stock ZVB rooted ROM you can flash. I recommend you flash in TWRP because that is all I have tested.
You must be Freegee unlocked
You do not need ZV9, this ZIP can be flashed clean.
It can also be flashed on top of ZV9 to upgrade it, wipe system before flashing.
I also recommend wiping system, cache, and dalvik cache in TWRP before flashing
I also recommend flashing the radio update prior to this. This can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176186
Information:
Odex
V1.25 SuperSu
1.19.0 Busybox
ROM Link: http://goo.im/devs/TheShadow/geehrc/ZVB-Stock-Rooted.zip

Hit the Imperium thread and you'll see why.
After Shelnutt stopped being dumb and corrected Freegee (heh) I decided I was going to upgrade last night, but since it took 1.5 hrs to donwload everything, I wound up having to get to bed before I was able to apply the updates.
Perfect timing on this! Thanks so much. Can't wait to get home.

Wipe system 3 times then cache install the ROM then the radio and reboot. Works like a charm.
