Hi guys and thanks in advance for anything you guys can do for me. I am new to installing custom roms. I purchased a used galaxy s3 sph-l710 yesterday and installed the cm 10.1 with the gapps for it. Everything was working almost perfect except i could not hear my music or when i place a call i could not hear it ring. So i went ahead and tried to do a wipe cache and a the other stuff and apperantly did something wrong and rebooted the phone with out installing the rom. The BIG problem is now i cannot boot to recovery and phone will not boot at all. What is the best thing i can do to solve this issue? Thanks againg guys!!

Yes it does go on Samsung screen.
And is the LED coming on at all?
This is a classic case of just not having a system to boot to. If I'm not mistaken the LED is not on and it most likely freezes at the galaxy s3 screen. Thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017470 will fix it

Mine did the same thing recently, but I did get a blue LED and a black screen after the Samsung logo. Either way, the fix you linked to should do it. It did for me.

The blue light and black screen usually means an incompatible kernel. Seen most with people using the toolkit to root jellybean.(flashes an insecure ICS kernel on jb rom)

Even if you can't post, you can search.
Install the 12-26 nightly version of CM 10.1 and try again. Remember to format system not only data and factory reset.

I wiped the cache,delvik etc. Only did it once and did not restore any data. Is it possible for you to guide me on a step by step? Thanks.
If you don't format system, you installed CM10 over CM10.1. So too many system files was corrupted.
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Format System
3. Flash CM
4. Flash gapps
5. Reboot
BTW, there is not need to format/erase/reset it several times.

There is a need because 1 wipe won't necessarily clean everything completely or correctly. I've seen settings stick through a single wipe dozens of times. Just the other day I saw this guy post about how he wiped an ICS rom before flashing a JB and some lockscreen settings stuck.
I mean if you're ok with booting up and having errors and eventually still having to wipe again, then yes, its not necessary.

None of the unlock apps from the market work on the T-mobile/Telus version of the sgs2, so maybe that might be the problem? Try uninstalling it..
Or try wiping dalvik cache?
If that doesn't work, backup the apps and stuff using titanium backup and flash the rom/kernal again (factory wipe, wipe dalvik cache and other cache)
Yeah try uninstalling that app then reboot into recovery and clear your dalvik cache.

Alright well then you're going to have to do a full wipe and re flash the ROM.
Not positive that will work, but it's your only option at this point. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware problem.
EDIT: I guess you could try clearing both caches and flashing the same ROM without a full wipe.

Put the ROM on the root of your external sd card, reboot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup, wipe data, clear cache, go to advanced and clear dalvik, go to install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, then click on the ROM .zip file.
Let me know if you need help.

Hi ken,
I did the exact same thing that you did. I was trying to unlock my Tmobile Galaxy S2 with that very same app and after that ,,,boom,,, the soft buttons all stopped working... no lights at all...I'm only able to use the touchscreen but not the buttons. I've researched a lot and a lot of people have suggested flashing different kernels and I've done that too but haven't been able to fix it even till today. Please let me know if you've figured it out. Thanks.

do the buttons work when you are in recovery?? If they work there then, it is a ROM issue, if they don't work in recovery, time to warranty exchange ...

OP says camera crashes when click to auto focus. can you confirm this? also, does gps and recording video work for you?
Before I try to flash this rom. I want to know what is differant from this and the stock rom that came with the SG3 other than not having TW? I know I need to back up first. Are all the main features stripped out or are they still there? How safe and stable is it to flash?
Just to make sure, is this ICS or Jelly bean?
answer a few questions...
camera works, yes autofocus does not fc/crash
video recording works/ 720p (20 sec record and playback without probs)
GPS works, very fast lock
ICS 4.0.4
this rom is sweet!

Hi there!
I have had an s3 for a few days now and love it!.
Any TW rom and my camera works just fantastic.
Any cm10/aokp/miui/etc rom and I just cant use the camera no matter what app I use to try it, whether it be the built in app or camera360/etc.
Driving me nuts and would love someone to help me. Anyway research I have done hasnt told me what I'm doing wrong.
I wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before each rom. I have tried different kernels but nothing has helped.
Any gurus out there have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Your install process would be and please link the files you are flashing... I'll try and help you. I've seen a few people mention this the past couple days.
The most recent I tried to flash was Illusion v1.1.18 - (d2tmo, d2att & d2vzw) - 1|18|13 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037028
I downloaded Illusion-v1.1.18-d2tmo.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
I went into recovery which is twrp and the most recent version. I installed it with the goo.im app.
When in recovery I did:
1) Factory Wipe
2) Wipe Cache
3) Wipe Dalvik
4) Wipe System
I would then click Install and select the rom file, and after it succesfully flashed I would then flash the gapps file. All were successful.
I would then reboot and the rom would boot up fine. I setup my google account and all that then for the heck of it I would reboot.
I then would try the camera app and it would complain that it couldnt connect to the camera basically. I went into the play store and tried a free version of camera 360, puddle camera, etc and all would not work.
I went back into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik again, hopped on one foot, faced east, and clicked my heels together. Upon reboot the camera does not work.
I have wiped all that and tried to install [Kernel][JB] Leankernel: Minimalistic Kernel for D2TMO/D2ATT (AOSP) v2.3 [1/17/13] which flashed fine. Upon reboot I could change voltages to undervolt, mess with governors but cameras still do not work.
I have a backup of two TW roms (one stock) and both of the those roms work beautifully with whatever camera I try, including the built in/stock camera.
I hoped I didn't leave out something. If there is something I missed than I'm an idiot because it seems like I am really missing something.
Thanks for your help.
I don't see any reason your steps lead to that, the exact steps I take every time to flash. I'm researching but in the mean time, go to app manager and wipe cache and data from gallery... Are you using the same Gapps over and over on each try? Might wanna try a different set.

I just force stopped on gallery, wiped cache/data, rebooted, and I tried the camera only to get the same message.

Just because I looked at about phone.
Model of phone is SGH-T999 (just in case someone thinks I'm in the wrong forum"

I have downloaded this gapps twice for the last rom http://goo.im/devs/itsmikeramsay/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
For the miui rom there was a gapps that was specific to miui and had miui in the name. The miui rom's camera didnt work.
I'll look for a different gapps if that might be the problem but since I have tried a couple roms and a few different gapps I feel that might not be the issue.
I still will give it another try though. Just have to find another gapps to try.
try these just in case they're corrupted. http://d-h.st/dtk these are the ones I use

Hello.
So I'm really new to all this Android custom ROMs and OS stuff. Loved the noobie video. Back when Sprint did their OTA of Gingerbread I was one of the lucky ones with the messed up GPS. I rooted. A friend recommended the CM10 custom ROM. So me knowing not much about it and he has more time to read/ do stuff with his phone, I did it. Didn't LOVE it, but it was nice.
Last night I get a OTA and in a middle of the night wake up for water daze just let the phone do its update. Now I'm @ CM 10.1.0 and I have lost ALL of my contacts, Text messages still show up but NONE have names. My google emails and the Play store do not work. I get a "clock has stopped working" screen every now and again, I'm also not getting ANY push notifications from any other apps.
I have not seen these issues listed yet.
If this is a known issue and I'm just not searching the right key words, please please point me in the right direction. I need this phone to work right.
I'm lost and I know no one local with an Epic.
I'm not sure what I need to list as far as version numbers or kernel numbers. If they are needed, let me know and I'll provide.
Thanks in advance.
From what I can see, you lost everything in an OTA from CM10 to CM10.1 and everything went bizarre, is that right? Then just download a clean CM10.1 package and THOROUGH WIPE (cache, data, system) and flash.
But keep in mind that this will clear out all your SMS, contacts, etc.
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ PACman v21
all of my apps were still there. But when I try to use Gmail or the Google Play store I get the "clock has stopped" pop up.
- No Contacts (no way to get to them either)
- No sync/ updating
- "clock has stopped" message
- No notifications from apps (Instagram, Facebook)
I DO get my NON gemail mail though.
I have the SMS backup/restore and all my contacts in saved to Google so wiping anything I'm okay with. But how do I get a "clean" version 10.1.0?
I'd assume I use the "stable' version over the nightly one?
I see a lot of people going back to 10 but I don't know how to do that.
http://get.cm/?device=epicmtd is where you get the CM10 & 10.1 zips. Recent CM10.1 nightlies are reported to have problems so stable build and M2 are recommended. Also, Bluetooth is wonky on all 4.2.x (in this case, CM10.1) ROMs so CM10 is the choice if you want it. Full wipe and flash. Reboot and good to go. Though I don't know whether restoring an SMS/contact backup works or not... Try for yourself!
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ PACman v21
Okay, well it looks like I just put it back to CM10. But there is NO Gmail Icon or Google Play Store Icon. I cannot remember how I did the SMS restore w/out the app. So I am back with a reflashed phone and NO info.

Looks like I bricked the phone... I got it go back to CM10 and then I tried to restore my settings and now all I can get to is the Samsung screen that pops up when you 1st turn the phone on. I cannot turn on into recovery or any of that. So I now have a paper weight.

As @frosted said, that's not a paperweight at all when there's still the Samsung logo. Enter download mode, plug it in and Odin a stock FC09 firmware.

For download mode, hold the power button and '1' on the keyboard.

I heard @qbking77 has some awesome tutorial videos that guides you through installing CWM recovery and else. My steps here are:
1) Odin stock FC19 (or FC09)
2) Odin CWM 5.0.2.7 tar
3) Reboot to recovery via 3-key combination, wipe data and SYSTEM (!) and flash what you want
For details maybe check stickies and videos, I never followed these though

Hi,
I realize this is a noob question, my apologies and any help/advice fixing this would be greatly appreciated. I installed Mod 10.0.0-d2spr on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I followed these instructions (I can't post the link because of my noob status but the title is How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S III (and Rid It Of TouchWiz Hell) and it's from gizmodo UK) and everything seemed to be going fine. It booted up in cyanogen. I then went to step 4 and tried to restore my backups and it was sort of a disaster. The apps installed but it also disabled the android keyboard, I can't turn that on, it is greyed out.
Essentially, cyanogen is installed but I can't open some apps (browser for instance) and the keyboard isn't functioning. I do have data and can make calls/receive texts. Can someone please help if they have any knowledge of a fix or any idea on how to proceed to remedy this?
Also, I did boot into recovery and reinstalled the mod, same issues persist.
Thanks!
Go into recovery and wipe your phone. Install CM10.1 and do not restore any apps. As this is known to cause problems.

I think you're right about that as before I flashed them, everything seemed fine. When I reinstall the mod will they be deleted? The first time I wiped the phone and reinstalled it didn't solve the problem.

Thanks for your help. I reinstalled the mod and I'm good again with the keyboard, text, phone, etc. Oddly the browser isn't opening any web pages. Any idea why?

What did you wipe? System, data, and caches? If not, try wiping what you missed and then boot up into the rom again (but don't wipe system or you won't have an OS)
