Hey Guys, I had upgraded to the official Jellybean and then yesterday finally rooted my phone. I wanted to flash the redruM ROM onto my phone...long story short after the Flash through Mobile ODIN my phone did what I can only assume is soft brick, but I found another thread with a stock rom and was able to restore the phone back to ICS now running the redruM rom. My question is can redruM work with JellyBean or at least a Jellybean ROM or do I have to pick one or the other? I saw another developer that listed like 5 different ROMS he had installed...can you have more than one rom? I searched and couldn't find and answer for these questions...any advice is welcom because I loved several features of JellyBean that I lost in reverting to ICS with redruM.
Thanks
Jeremy

you linked a sprint rom, you need to be a alot more careful flashing things. You can not have 5 different roms. This is the Redrum JB rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750270 and can not stress enough, read more.

Huh then I wonder if I just put the wrong link...because the ROM worked great once I recovered the phone back to stock with boot-stock-tmobile-sgh-t999 through desktop ODIN...when the phone rebooted...jellybean was gone and the redrum ROM was working just fine with the phone being moved back to ICS 4.0.4....
Regardless the crisis was averted and I've since moved over to Wicked Sensations JB and was even able to backup the "Awesome Beats" program from the redruM ROM and now have it running with wicked....so I'm happy!
Now if I could just get rid of the screen burn that was on the phone when I bought it that I didn't notice!
Thanks for your advice guys...
What you wrote makes no sense, but...
Why are you over on the Sprint forums flashing roms to your phone when you clearly have little knowledge on what you're doing, lol? If you have any questions PM me or someone who seems knowledgeable enough to help you. I fear your phones life.

Not sure what didn't make sense to you...
I was able to get my soft bricked phone into download mode and was able to flash a stock rom from ODIN on my desktop and when the phone booted back up the build was 4.0.4 and was successfully running the redrum rom that originally caused the problem...
Like I said...I probably posted the wrong link to the Sprint ROM as I just did a search for the redrum rom and picked the first one that came up...so my bad I probably posted the wrong link...
Once jellybean was gone after the flash back to stock redrum worked fine...and based on what I'm gathering from you guys is a Sprint ROM won't work on t-mobile phone...well what I'm telling you is that it worked fine after Jellybean was gone...there was a problem with the redrum rom and Jellybean.
But none of that matters..my phone is fine and running a great ROM that I am thoroughly enjoying.
Hope that clears it up...

I don't have any opinions on 1 or 2. As for 3, you do have some choices. A few of the options are, a leaked official AT&T ICS for the Nitro, nightly or RC2 for CM9, and now we even have an early preview of CM10 (Jelly Bean). Best thing to do is check out the Development sub-forum and see what you might like.
i came from a galaxy s vibrant recently to this phone.
to be honest, I was kind of disappointed at first with the battery life and lag, but that all went away once I rooted, flashed CM9 (the recent nightlies are faaaaaast) The battery life got better over time once I recalibrated it also, but now I went to the hyperion extended battery and battery life seems to be a lot better.
The HD screen is <3 When you look at a device without the HD display you'll be wondering why are the words so pixelated
I think I'm going to install CM10 preview soon too once I get my SD card.. 2gb is not enough. A CWM backup takes up almost 1 gig ._.
i was reading HO!NO! P930 UDT v18f 04112012-CWM-Flashable! thread. whats this unbricking people are talking about?

It's in the development thread. If you want stable, go with cm9 first. Then you can compare to CM10.

1. Coming from the Samsung Galaxy S, I love this phone! The HD screen is great and it has everything I want/need in my phone: LTE, performance, and hackability/dev support.
2. Like people have stated there are a few good ones. I'm currently running CM9 RC1 (planning to flash to HO!NO!'s Full throttle soon) and haven't had any problems so far. At first it was a little rough but after a few days it settled and it's been pretty smooth since, no issues. I tried flashing full throttle but had some issues installing it (it would bootloop). I would say Full Throttle would be a little more work to get working but from I've read once it's working it's fantastic. HO!NO! is putting a lot of work into it though and has frequent releases and improvements, and he usually incorporates the latest CM9 updates.
I haven't tried any others but I've heard the ICS leak runs very well and would probably make a good daily driver, just be prepared to unbrick your phone should you want a different ROM in the future. If you don't want to flash ROMs that often, I'd say go with a CM9 RC or the ICS leak. If you don't mind flashing ROMs then try out some of the other ROMs (Andasa's CM9 Hybrid, HO!NO!'s Full Throttle, CM9 Nightly, CM10) and see what you like.
3. I believe this has been answered
Hot damn! i just got the phone and im loving it! but im a total noob at this phone.
I need help pointing me in the right direction of rooting/installing cwm/Flashing a rom
Because i see nothing about root just a bunch of topics about failed root attemps.

It depends what firmware your device came with as some of them aren't rootable. For me I used SuperOneClick (v2.2 I think). You might need to attempt it a few times, (i think I had to disconnect and reconnect at one point as well to get it to finish).
You could also started out by following the unbricking guide to unbrick the phone (and follow the Easy CWM unbrick guide to make unbricking easier in the future). This would give you complete freedom to try any ROM (like the ICS leak with CWM) and from what I've read, fix some problems with the sdcard as well
p.s. Check the development section for rooting guides. I believe the v10j firmware is the rootable one.

The version we are talking about would be under baseband version in about phone (settings)
It should say P930 followed by something then V two numbers and a letter, this is your version.
P930-*********-V11a (for example. The V11a version here is the one I have and is root able)

Hello, first time thread poster here
I have a Wind Mobile SGS3 T-999V with 4.1.1 Jelly bean and Im still looking for a way to successfully root my device.
Ive looked around but most of these threads comments have problems and don't work after the new Jelly Bean update that rolled out last week.
Was just looking for advice on the best way to do it (MAC preferably but Windows works too) to root my SGS3, any compatible recoveries that work on the device and any advice on ROMs that will help me save battery, get rid of bloat ware and make my phone faster and more efficient.
Thanks a lot! :cyclops:
More information of my device can be given if needed!
P.S. I actually have a few friends that are awaiting ways to do this too so any info will help about 5+ people more so than just myself!
Im just the test dummy to see if the rooting method and ROMs work!
Root just as before, no difference with jb.
I still root the same way I did on ics and works perfectly.

You can odin root66 from official firmware thread in stickies from development forum.
As to recovery there are two which I know of, twrp or cwm.
And as to rom, I recommend FrostyJB. Great rom with very good battery life (around 20h on mid-heavy use), most of bloat removed. With right kernel you can overclock it to work even faster, it's fast already. Try ktoonsez or trinity kernel. Both are confirmed to work.

Thanks a lot I tried the Root66 and it worked easily.
Will FrostyJB get rid of any of the SGS3 features such as smart stay and calling when you put the phone to your ear?
And also what do you find is the easiest way to install ClockWork Mod for it? Because ROM manager doesnt seem to have the recovery for WIND/T-MOBILE SGS3s
Thanks a lot for your help!

Things like smart stay, motion, etc. are available in FrostyJB. Like in every stock (tw) based rom. But unfortunately DJ stopped his work on that ROM and there will be no new versions, but in current release everything is stable and works great.
I have installed cwm using rom manager. It worked great for me. Are you sure you are doing everything right?

Hello all, I hope I won't get too much flak for creating this thread but I'm hoping to save some time and effort if some of you are willing to help me out here.
My buddy had asked me recently if I could help him use his phone as a hotspot when he goes on vacation, and I suggested that he install a custom rom to get that function since for some reason a Sprint rep told him he couldn't do it (not sure on the whole story with that...).
Anyway, I'm not really a newbie on rooting/flashing as I have an older Galaxy S1 device that I constantly work on, but on the other hand that's about the only device I have experience with.
My questions are:
1) Is rooting/installing a custom rom the best way for him to use his phone as a hotspot? It seems to be built into every rom that I've had on my device.
2) What are the most popular (and stable) roms available for this device? I'm asking because I won't see him enough to flash updates and he's not really the type to do that.
3) Are there any serious risks to rooting/flashing this device? I'm spoiled with my older Galaxy S1 phone that has no problem going from rom to rom like it was it's job. He'll probably be upgrading soon, but I still don't want to break it.
Thanks for any input. Oh and I don't know if this matters, but I'm almost positive he's on stock ICS right now.
1. The hotspot app won't work on stock because he needs the plan with sprint to use it. There are 3rd party apps out there that can use your phone as a hotspot. Most roms have the wifi hotspot check disabled so you can use the app the rom came with. Be warned if sprint catches you tethering too much data they could cut you off.
2. Maybe look into the blu kuban rom. It's very stable, awesome battery life, and looks awesome. It also has a built in updater in case there is an update.
3. If you read the instructions you should be fine. There's really no downside besides the emmc brick bug which can render your phone useless but most (if not all) kernels have this patched. Also remember that this phone has the recovery image packed with the kernel.
Hope this helps.

If you install stock/rooted gb27 jb you can use the EmperorX 4g hot spot mod.
Look up Emperor X in apps and themes, its not too complex to get working.

The blu kuban rom looks good, but I didn't see any JB roms that looked all that great (feel free to correct me) and I see that Cyanogenmod doesn't officially support this device for some reason. Are there any mostly stable 4.1 or 4.2 roms that you would recommend or is ICS the way to go?
edit: I wasn't looking in the 'original development' forum and just noticed there's a lot of good 4.2 roms that I'm used to like slim, AOKP, etc, now my question is if I wanted to flash a new rom is it the same as I do on my phone- wipe data/cache/davlik then flash rom/gapps and reboot? Is it that simple on this phone too?

If you have CWM 5 (gb or cm9) or CWM 6 (AOSP-based jellybean) you can just flash rom and gapps in recovery
If you do not have CWM 5 or 6 (anything touchwiz ICS+), you should use Mobile Odin or (less conveniently) PC Odin to flash the EL26+cwm kernel, then boot to recovery by holding vol+ and power. You can flash anything in EL26 recovery without incident
I've been poking around looking for a Touchwiz based ROM to upgrade to and I'm completely confused and thoroughly bedazzled (comic sans, multiple colors, huge signature graphics, etc).
It seems that MK4 based ROMs are based off of the latest Sprint images, but to upgrade into one of those, you have to revert to a stock less than MK4 ROM, then update to MK4, then upgrade to an MK4 based ROM? Does it matter if you are rooted or not? I got the impression you had to unroot at some point...
What happened to the days of a ROM was self contained? I've seen several ROMS mention that you had to have a certain base ROM already installed to install a different ROM. That sounds needlessly complicated....
I found this ROM I would like to load:

well to answer your question about if you need to be rooted to flash this rom or any rom. As for your first link that isnt a rom its a MOD. That MOD allow you to add those features to a 4.3 rom and above. And for the second link you can flash that itll be stock. The link I provided is for the rom im currently using which is TW based rom ad has the Note 3 spen features already included. Check it out. Hope I made sense.

Ah, I see what happened. I didn't know there was such a thing as a MOD, only ROMs. I came across the ROM you linked to thinking it was a repost of the MOD-that-I-thought-was-a-ROM, so i was wondering what was going on.
I will give that ROM a shot. Thanks for clarifying things!

Fine, I guess I'll open it up first since I've been dying to ask this question but haven't for fear of getting flamed.
I'm currently on Wicked ROM v5 (Jellybean). I saw that evil1art recently released Wicked ROM v1 for KitKat.
So my stupid question is do I need to flash back to stock so that I'm running KitKat first and then flash Wicked ROM v1 for Kitkat? Or can I just flash Wicked ROM v1 even though I'm on Jellybean and by doing so it would automatically put me on KitKat?
My guess is I need to flash back to stock first.
