I have just recently rooted my S3 with Goodness JB 9.0.4. Under the Goodness settings you can touch the title bar "Mijjah74" which takes you to the Team Nocturnal Updater. This you can download different zip files for such things as new boot animations and such. My question is are these all compatible with this rom? It may be a silly question but I just want to be 100% sure. I had an experience where I used a non-compatible kernal and bricked my phone and I really just do not want to do that again. Pretty new with all of this. Thanks for any help/answers.

Hey everyone,
I'm new to the rooting world so I just had a quick/noob question. I have a S3 for AT&T ,version 4.0.4 and I'm going to root it and install and new ROM. I want Cyanogen 10 nightly mod rom however I'm not sure if it will work with my 4.0.4. When flashing a new ROM , can you do it with a version that is an upgraded version of your current one? Also, what are the steps for it. I got it all down however I just want to make sure a few times that everyone says the same thing! Thanks a lot.
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...
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 was wondering why did OTA on my Alliance ROM not working ? i wanna add something like new booting animation. also the ROM Customizer it wont uninstall things like "ChatOn,Google+ and other unnecessary things that running on background eating up my RAM.

I bought an S3 ( i747 with some ATT bloatware on it) on ebay and it came rooted with " Lidroid Mod ( ported by Wanam)"
I am getting ads in the notifications bar and a icon( "get apps" on my homepage keeps on popping back up everytime I delete it.
Can some kind soul give me some basic information:
Can I unroot and return to the original configuration and be ablt to recieve updates to Android
OR
suggest another very stable ROM. I am a simple user so I don't really need fancy mods.
Note: It came with SuperSU and AdvanceS loaded

You can unroot and move back to stock, and I recommend you do that first. Only reason for me would be to completely reset the phone as if you have gotten it the first time. From then on, I would root and play around with this device.
Here is an instruction for you to get started (to unroot):

After unrooted, simply factory reset your phone so your phone is brand new

For roms there are a lot of stable roms, the question is what roms suit you?
If you want pure AOSP builds or something close to that, I suggest CM10.1 (OR soon to be CM 10.2) or Task650's AOKP. I'm actually using Task650's AOKP rom right now, and it's VERY stable. Smooth as well. Battery life is Okay, similar to stock.

If you want TouchWiz features but you also want an AOSP experience then check out Dandroid:

There are more great roms but I'm lazy to add more lol
Thank you very much
I will give this a try on the weekend
I looked into your suggestions for ROMs and in the threads for them it seems that there are bugs or dev support issues that make me want something more reliable.
Is there a way that I can load a Stock ROM and selectivley eliminate the bloatware?
I have an i747M 32GB

Check out mrRobinson's debloater here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732039
Grab one of the stock firmware downloads and root it and make sure to install CWM recovery. Then use the debloater - he has instructions in the thread.
