Hey, just wanted to say hi to my new classmates. Just traded my Photon4G for an Epictouch. I would also like to ask yall to help me out with getting all the goodies on my phone. I am naive with sammy(ODIN). Ive only own HTC(RUU) and Motorola(SBF). If you have the time to link me to root,CWM and the best Rom in your opinion I'll return the favor by hitting the thank button. No need to be a jerk and ask me read. Thanks.

Welcome. Good place to start would be in the development forum. If you have questions, ask them in the Q&A forum. Glad to have you on board.

One things for sure, you'll never have to worry about different bootloader versions, degrading or anything. Odin will let you go to any damn version you please
Ok im rooted One question...I'm on EL29 and to install CWM following the guide you provided it only includes EL30,FB17 and a couple others. Which one do I odin to?

Look for the EL29 restore thread. After the restore instructions are instructions and a link for the EL29 kernel repacked with CWM. Sorry xda app is fc'ng when I try to copy the link. Stay away from ROM manager and CWM touch recovery. If you're going to flash cm9 make sure you flash cm7 from Rootzwiki first to get the original CWM recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Also, if coming back from ICS to GB use sfhub's EL29 restore method. It's the safest way to revert and you can restore a GB nandroid once you reinstall the repacked EL29 kernel.

Be very careful when you come back from ICS to a non ICS rom. Many bricks have occurred! Read the instructions good.
Good choice on ditching the photon and coming to the good side!

If you are just starting out I highly recommend that you follow qbking77's work he will help you with his video tutorials. I owe that man my life lol.
Just got mine today -- had my NS4G stolen last week and had the option to switch, so I did.
I just need to get away from Touchwiz. As far away from Touchwiz as possible. May throw AOKP on as I'm familiar (used it on NS4G and also on GT10.1).
Any other suggestions?

Was it a custom rom or just the factory update. I've heard a lot of trouble with the factory update. I would definitely recommend trying out one of the custom ics roms. My opinion: Infamous or Infamous Lite for a more stock rom. Happy flashing

+1 for custom ROM.
I use Darkside Telus ICS, very close to stock. The stock ICS has a a lot of bloatware in in that runs constantly on the background, this is why you guys might find it a bit sluggish.
I would highly recommend a custom "close to stock" ROM, you'll see a huge difference.
ICS > GB.
Flash the Darkside Wipe zip, then flash or ODIN stock ICS. Let it boot up, then factory reset. Works smooth for me. I prefer stock over customs anytime..

This phone, like any dual core phone, particularly this beast, was made for ICS. I'm not talking about crappy TW stock ICS, a highly modified and tweaked all to hell custom ICS ROM

well beyond that remember wiping doesn't wipe everything.
There is an entire thread talking about everything having to do with the ICS update, including what can cause these issues.

Same here! I couldn't stand ICS, so i odin back to GB before the maintenance update.
ya ya ya, ICS (they say) is much smoother - to each their own, i guess.
I hope JB will not have the issues that ICS has.

OP is talking about GB vs ICS. JB may be amazing but some of us need a working camera.
I got the ics update a few weeks back and its ****. I want to root but cant find a definite source/method to root running 4.0.4. Someone have a link??:good:
Rooting isn't going to make it any better, you may want to consider going back to gingerbread.
Gb is stable with good battery life and can even look better than ics with a theme.

Just use KIES to update to 4.0.4 and root it, remove bloatwares and youre good to good with a fully working phone. She will appreciate it because every custom roms has bugs and always update and i bet she wont like that. My girl hates it too.. This is kinda like the other thread. What rom is wife approve?? Even though they suggest darkside, people always seem to have problems that others dont..

Kies remove root and this guy nows how to root and I ask him bro he's fine... most custom ROMs have less bugs vs aosp(aokp,miui,cm,)...have more bugs. I suggest cm 9.1.0

Kies to 4.0.4 if you want a stable stock ROM. You can always root after that. 4.0.3 stock wasn't that greatest btw. most of the 4.0.4 custom ROMs are stable. Only the jb 4.1+ roms have a couple bugs here and there.
Btw ^ AOSP is a custom ROM too. I'm sure you know that, but it was a bit confusing and you're not making the most sense right now lol

OK, so I got my GSIII a week ago. Having come from the Vibrant,. I am well versed in rooting and flashing custom ROMs. My question is whether I should go ahead and root the phone now or just wait a few more weeks for official JB to hit T-Mobile. Thoughts?
It takes two minutes if you're slow. In fact, you could have rooted faster than you typed your post
I pondered the same thing. Decided to wait. Althougb thqt could change any time.

Root now and flash the many awesome custom roms available.
Just root now. If anything the official jb will probably still have bugs.

Lol who knows how long it takes until they send ota update
This is something i always wonder why people debate on which to do. Why would you wait? Im sure most here are here to take advantage of being able to root and use SU permissions??? So if you root/flash now you will have a rooted OTA JB rom in no time from release. Why wait? My thoughts at least lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just root and flash a recovery, then make an immediate full backup of your stock rom. I personally hate TW so there was no going back since day one haha
Root now. Who knows if jb will allow you to root.
