If you don't want errors after errors, you'll have to do a full wipe everything. Just how it is.

You still have to wipe going to those ROMs regardless....
Op:
Any ROM you go to will need a full wipe.
Unless the dev states that you dont and releases an update for a specific ROM, you'll have to wipe everytime.

What everyone else has been saying.. If you switch from one ROM to another you HAVE to full wipe the first time. After that, just wiping cache/dalvik is standard procedure upon an update to your current ROM.

Yes have too, and please read exactly what I wrote and what others wrote.
If you're coming from ANOTHER rom (example: Jedi rom to Jellybam)
You HAVE to wipe.
If you're running the same rom
(example: Jedi [beta 1] )
And you wanna change it to the same or upgrade the rom
(example: Jedi [beta 2] )
You DONT have to wipe UNLESS you're told so by the OP
And you HAVE HAVE HAVE to wipe going from Touchwiz to AOSP
Don't give out false information, if your device can miraculously flash ROMs with out wiping that's amazing
But don't put other in dangerous situations where they might freak out or even possibly brick their phones

Thanks for the answers i'll consider about flashing a rom but if i don't is there any kind of mod's anywhere that i can flash especially for tethering?

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 did that earlier with no luck.
I just force stopped on gallery, wiped cache/data, rebooted, and I tried the camera only to get the same message.
Thank you for that tip but I will continue my research also.
Just because I looked at about phone.
Model of phone is SGH-T999 (just in case someone thinks I'm in the wrong forum"
Baseband version is T999UVDLJA
Kernel is of course 3.0.59-leanKernel
AOKP Version is Illusion v1.1.18 d2tmo
Build number is aokp-d2tmo-userdebug 4.2.1 (I truncated the rest)

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

did you update your phone to stock JellyBean via Over the Air or Odin? it updates the partitions which could be the issue, mmayyybbeee???!?!? Shots in the dark right now, just trying to help as I've never seen this issue before solved.

It had JB on it when I got it almost 2 days ago. I tried to do an OTA when I got it but it said I was up to date.
Let me do a restore to stock and see what version it is.

It was new, out of the box. I watched the guy unrap it. It is one of the newer grey metal color looking ones. It was not rooted. I did that. Should I do an Odin to bring the device back to complete stock and start from scratch?

I've been flashing a lotta new roms lately so just seeing if I'd wanna flash this one or not
Screenshots are up on page 784 of the thread. I'm downloading it now so no other impressions. Looks good though.
I am using JB 4.1.2, Jedi Mind Trick JB2 build with the beta kernel as a DD. Prior to I was using JMT X4 and this is much nicer IMO.
No issues on my end and all working as it should except for what dev knows about and is working on but those are not show stoppers for me.

I have been flashing roms since the original droid and have made many mistakes, even when I thought I knew exactly what I was doing. That said, after not following the instructions to the letter and having issues, I did follow them and "walla" NO problems. I found that letting it sit the full 10 minutes and using app2zip for program restore works perfectly. Don't theme or modify for a while, let it get use to the new rom. It is smooth, fast and stable.
there are issues with JMT 2.1
there was a lot of SOD=Sleep of Death issues
and cannot get past boot screen issues...
I went back to 1.1 for now and seems good...
btw... there is news of a new kernel version to come out tonight...

That shouldn't really be happening. I used to run the Jedi Jelly 5 and that was from a leak and my phone lasted 24 hours at minimum. Get some wakelock apps and see why your phone isn't sleeping.

Just updated the rom today, works REALLY well.Most Buttery smooth stock-ish rom I've ever played with. If I didn't know better, I'd say it had v6 baked in. Or at least some of the edits.
I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a stock rom, debloated, and running stable. Has Vol Wake mod, which I personally hate, but it's honestly not that bad as far as battery.
Stock battery and moderate usage I can last all day before having to throw it on the charger. By moderate, I mean a few hours of Memedroid, XDA, and Chrome. Perhaps an hour or two of gaming and some phone calls with a bit of texting.
JMT JB3 is out as of yesterday
It's running super smooth seems all good
the toggles even work now
only thing is the little battery glitch
where when fully charged you pull out at 100%
and it drops to 97% or 96% instantly
I am sure ptmr3 will fix that soon
This bug is universal with tmo jellybean roms

-Download ROM - done
-Backup your apps with preferred method(app2zip is great) - done
-Nandroid - what is this? how do i download/use it?
-Wipe data ( factory data reset) - in CWM recovery?
-Wipe system (Format system (in mounts/storage) if on CWM) - same as above?
-DO NOT RESTORE DATA!!! - uhhh...then how do I get my stuff back?

Download goo manager, go to menu and install recovery alternative, that will give you twrp.
Full wipe is an old term that refers to wiping everything. Twrp handles most of the wiping upon flashing. All you need to do is a factory reset, then flash the ROM off your choice. A dalvik and cache wipe after its optional, but not required. Though has been known to prevent issues.
Nandroid means to backup your current ROM. It's literally a snapshot of your current phone setup. Including apps, settings, and ROM. You can restore any time you want and it will be like you never left. It's built into recovery, just select backup/restore
Some ROMs don't want you to restore data. Jmt says it to prevent conflicting data. I don't see how it could hurt as long as it's just apps and not system apps, I'll have to test this, but basically, it means don't restore your data partition from a previous Nandroid. Titanium backups are fine to restore.
Any other questions just pm me. Writing this from my phone so if I forgot something let me know

I came back to the jmt jb ROM after leaving the ICS version for AOKP mr1 builds and the Sons of Androids ROMS (which both frickin rock! btw). But when I returned to the jb version of jmt, v3 to be exact, I found it drained my battery VERY fast. Anyone else having this issue? Am I just spoiled by the customization freedom of the Sons of Android?
Ok guys, these are modded versions of TDJ's tools to add the preload partition. This should allow you to wipe cache and dalvik without jacking up the symlinks. Also for you guys having issues installing a ROM, the superwipe should fix that. First flash the ROM and reboot (important), then if you are having issues flash the super wipe and then the ROM again. Reboot and you should be good.
Thanks again TDJ!!! You rock bro.

I used these scripts installing a ROM and I am having very serious issues. I was using Clockwork and when I rebooted I got stuck in a boot loop. I booted back into recovery but I was not getting fully back into recovery. I tried several times. I finally ODINed back to stock but I can't get the ****ing phone to boot up. It gets toa popup that says ""unfortunatley google partner setup has stopped" and then if I clear that "Google account manager has stopped", "google calender storage has stopped""unfortuantely the process com. android.phone has stopped". ****. I have tried ODIN to 3.5 stock and 4.0.3 both having similar issues.
Anyone have any idea, may have absolutley nothing to do with these scripts but any ideas would be very much appreciated.
What are you running and what are you trying to flash? Wouldn't be the scripts as they only wipe, format, align the partitions.

I was running CWM 6.0.2.9 touch and trying to flash the StockWalk ROM. I don't know if you have seen something like this before but it seems like I am totally unable to install any GAPPS even when flashing stock ROM in ODIN. I had flashed the same ROM before attempting to use the scripts, the reason was that I was unable to add my google account (may be a defect in the ROM but others are saying they have not had issue).
*when I say install GAPPS I am just refering to the ones that install on TW ROMS, I am not flashing a GAPPS file of any kind

OK so I thought I knew enough to not feel like a noob, but here I am with three questions.
First question is what is a "preload problem"?
Second question is this will only work on 4.1.2, and not 4.2.2 (CM 10.1)?
And the third question is will using the original DS wipes mess something up?
T mobiles 4.1.2 loads a preboot partition. Wiping cache with anything but these scripts also wipes these partitions. This script is modified to not do that. No preboot partition = boot loop.
Thus, if you're on anything BUT Tmobiles 4.1.2 you don't need this script and there's no advantage to using it.

Do you do a clean wipe every time you install a new rom? Clean wipe cache, dalvik, data, system, internal sd? Try downloading rom thru pc then transfer to your sd.

I would definitely try a different kernel. Maybe your phone can only handle stock kernels or something which Jedi doesn't use. Having a CM kernel still lingering through a flash while running Jedi can't be too good either, it's possible that's what happened? Go back to just stock rooted and see if the problem remains.

That's where you will find a stock ROM. Flash the factory image with Odin. If you don't know what stock is or how to flash a kernel it's best to go back to stock and don't run custom ROMS. Just read the thread I linked and post any questions about the process in that thread.
You can flash the factory image using Mobile Odin from the Play Store and there's an option to keep root.

Are you running custom kernels that are overclocked? Maybe your phone can't handle the overclock anymore.... it happens

friends - so i know there is a 4.1.2 rom but if you flash this using Odin, you will lose all of your data. so i'm asking if there's one that you can flash on top of your rooted 4.1.1 using CWM. if you know there is one available, please direct me to it. many thanks
note: i'm running stock rom; rooted with the aroma bloatware removal. thanks again
Yes. Look in the development section.

No I haven't, but it's a zip so it should delete you data. You could always download it and look at the installer script to verify it doesn't.
anyone else have any other suggestion?

Since I knew you weren't going to do it, I took the 5 minutes to download the zip and look at the installer script for you. It does not wipe data. It only wipes system.
It's fun to figure out how to do things on your own.
If you're going to flash a stock rom , you might as well flash S3Rx...it's AT&T stock 4.1.2 based with a lot of enhancements.

@d3athsd00r - thanks for the clarification. i asked the question in that thread but didn't get a clear answer. and yes i wasn't aware you can tell by looking at the install script.
@EzEddie - have you used this rom? How stable is it? I looked at the change log and it seems more than what i want.
general question to everyone who's reading this thread - do you have any other suggestion for stock rom that's either 4.2 or 4.3 based? i want to have the most stable rom that doesn't burn up my battery life and snappy at the same time.
thanks all

Yes I am using this ROM and have been using ROMs by this developer since getting this phone. It is completely stable and runs better than straight stock. Yes it has a ton of features, but you don't need to use all of them. My battery life has also been great on this ROM. Read through that thread, you will see everybody agrees. Just flash it and try it. If you don't like it then flash something else.
There is no stock AT&T ROM with 4.2 or 4.3 for this phone. Your only option is an AOSP variety (cyanogenmod, aokp, etc..) Where you will lose some functionality.

hey thanks - i'm assuming this rom will wipe my internal data. does this rom has the multi window feature? i really don't want to lose my internal data.

Nothing will wipe you storage unless you make it. S3rX runs in Aroma which gives you the option to wipe Application data but won't erase the rest of your internal storage.
It is highly customizable and and includes multi window, just read the thread thoroughly and you will see what you can do.
I love S3rX and all the options it ships with by default.
i guess i wasn't clear - i meant my phone data (phone log, mms, picture, s-memo, etc...) I think when you flash rom, all of those data will be wiped. unless of course you back them up to restore later.
i will re-read the S3rX rom again. thanks

Again, ROMs won't wipe your data unless you specify it during the install. No one is going to do that because the backlash on them would be awful. You will either get the option in Aroma, or you have to manually do it in your recovery.
ok - thanks
I use SMS Backup+ to back up my phone logs and SMS/MMS to my Gmail account. Works great. Pictures are stored on your SD card and typically isn't wiped, even if you choose factory reset.

If you just want a quick SMS (no MMS) backup then look at SMS Backup & Restore. Saves SMS to .xml file.
