Hello,
Every time i try to install a ROM. "Using twrp or cwm" Rom installs "Says successful with twrp" i reboot and they all get stuck at the first splash screen. I have no idea why. At the moment i am trying to install hyperdrive ROM. And it does the same thing. I have not been able to install a custom ROM yet. Every time it is the same situation. I have to flash to a stock ROM with odin to get my phone working every time. Then update re root re install twrp and try again. But to no avail i always get the same problem , being stuck on the first splash screen. Weather it be the Sprint s3 screen or a custom ROM splash screen. Would be awesome if someone could help. Thanks a bunch! I would be so grateful.
Are you clearing system, factory reset, and wiping dalvik cache and cache?

Yes i do every time. :/
Redownload the ROM and check for md5(i think CNexus have a link on his sig), and use TWRP 2.3.3.0. There is a thread with flashables.

Make sure you are using the ones for Sprint GS3.

Checked md5 and sure enough they did not match. Though now i am having a problem getting them to match. I have tried downloading 6 times now using different mirrors and every time they do not match. Guess the cell phone gods don't want me to use custom roms >.< Leh sigh...

are you downloading to computer or to phone? I suggest computer then copy to phone using a heavy duty cable. I know this seems to be the long way around but it is the best and safest.

This is very good advice & should be the standard for all flashing. Downloading and installing via OTA does work but also has more instances of incorrect md5 (bad download) than direct to PC...
I actually am downloading to my pc then transferring it to the sd card on my phone with the cable that came with the s3.

Ok so your transferring it how? Just drag and drop into a folder? What folder? And are you at any point renaming it?

I am transferring it to the main dir of the sd card on the phone. No sub dir. Just drag and drop to in my case " Computer>SPH-L710>Card". And at no point do i rename it. Thanks for all the reply's to try and help. Its really appreciated.
On a side note when i had my Evo 4g i had no problem with this at all. I was trying out new roms all the time. Now with this s3 i cant even get one on.. :/
Thanks again.

Not saying this is your issue and I've never had it happen to me but have you tried using a CWM recovery? Some say certain ROMs will only flash w/certain recoveries. Maybe try mixing it up & see what happens?
Thats actually what i was thinking right now. Just tried cwm and got the same thing. Sitting here now about 10 min on the splash screen for Hyperdrive Rom. Dont think its going to work. What i don't get is everything always says successfully installed. Then i wipe cache and delvik again. reboot and wait for the first boot up and nothing. Still sitting here with the splash screen. Thinking of making a video step by step of what i am doing and posting it.... Its frustrating. Thanks for the reply. Every bit helps.

Just out of curiosity. Being that i have flashed back to the stock rom " With Odin" a million times and every time it works fine. Is it possible to flash a custom rom with odin?
Not sure, checking...

Yes, it is possible. But the dev would need to provide the rom in a .tar form, and as far as I know none of them do

Ok this may sound stupid, create a subfolder in your sd storage, if you can do it on the external SD card even better. Name the subfolder whatever you want but I would start it with the letter A so it's always at the top of your list of folders. When you go into recovery do a factory reset and then choose to flash rom from whichever storage location you placed it in and go to the folder you created and placed it in. The reason I'm saying this is because sometimes other locations may ad a sub directory designation to your file which will corrupt the file and md5. Just a suggestion you have nothing to loose. And again what rom are you flashing?

Double check the MD5 after your transfer I noticed you said the use the stock cable. I HIGHLY recommend a BB cable heavy duty cable. I have used a BB cable for many years and never had a problem with flashing.

Have you tried waiting? Because I know when I'm flashing a ROM I don't know why but with EVERY ROM when I install it and it says install successfull I have to wait a couple minutes because its actually not done its still installing stuff if you have trwp it will tell you the progress as its going even though it says installation complete.

I have a rooted phone by unrevoked and have clockwork mod recovery 3.0.6.(Because the latest version wouldn't work with the rom i was trying to flash) and flashed the rom but the it wont boot. im stuck at the white screen and when i try to go to recovery it just crashes with 2 white vertical lines on the sides of the screen. I have no idea how to fix this. someone please help me
That's you having an incompatible CWM on an slcd screen. Update to a different one by flashing it in hboot.

Directly on the root of the card. Aka, not in any folders. Otherwise hboot won't see it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
how do i get hboot to use the zip file instead of the other cwm recovery because its not working. Also do i have to name the zip anything?
You put it on the root of your SD card and boot into hboot by booting while holding power and volume down. It will automatically find the file and ask you if you want to flash it. It has to be name PB31IMG.zip
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
My phone did not automatically reconize the file in hboot when I named it PB31IMG.zip. So I went to the Verizon store. They're sending me a new phone but i would still like to get this one to work because they let me keep it. I'm probably going to send it to a guy that can rewrite the software. However since Im running low on money I probably wont send it in for a while so if anyone notices anything i didnt or thinks they know the problem, please let me know. Thank you
cvbcbcmv said:
it's probably PB31IMG.zip.zip. Try getting rid of the .zip and see if your extracting program will still recognize it, if yes, it has a hidden .zip, and keep it like that, if no, then you need the zip there. Can you do that for me? That's probably your problem.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, this happened to me early on. You ususally don't see the extension (the .zip) part of the file name, so when you add it you are creating a file named PB31IMG.zip.zip. So like the good person above says, just make it say PB31IMG and it will likely be fixed. If not, THEN make it say PB31IMG.zip
Good luck!
Yes got it. Wow that was frustrating. Thank you so much everyone who helped me

just do a full wipe and flash through cwm.

I flashed this recovery and now I am not sure how to get to the recovery to make a nandroid backup and whatnot. i tried t backup using ROM manager and got the android with exclamation on boot. and I also tried to bring up recovery by holding the volume up while booting and all it did was try to update and fail.
I just need a little bit more detail in getting this and once I get this squared away I swear I will be good to go for now on. Also I appreciate your alls patience and helpfulness!

worked like a charm after that was gone! Now to flash roms.
So my friend brings me his gsm nexus and is not loading up stays stuck and loading Google screen but does nothing from there..... I asked him what he had done and he said he went into cwm since he was having problems with his phone and decide to format everything on it sdcard/system/ etc etc etc..... I never done something so stupid before lol So I really don't know how to help him...... any way to be able to flash a stock rom maybe via odin ? or stock anything to get the phone to boot up again ? any help is greatly appreciated....... I could boot it up in recovery mode but since sd card is empty I can't restore any roms or any backups since he seem to have deleted them all
well your friend formatted the /system directory so there is no rom on there. of course it wont boot up.
follow this to go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
DO NOT USE ODIN.
also, tell your friend to leave the phone stock until he knows what he is doing.

I guess if you guys wanna say is me doesn't really bother me.... I use xda to flash and stay up to date with the community I am in no way a developer or claim to know what I am doing.... Just trying to help a friend out or like you guys say me.... Just trying to fix a phone I was the one that rooted the phone for him... Just don't see the big deal..... But hey if it makes you guys happy saying it was me that did it I don't mind no big deal just looking for help thats all.....

Take your sd card out and put it in a micro SD to SD adapter if your computer has a SD slot. B. Use another phone and put your SD card in that. C. Rule of thumb always make backup and if you did just go to restore and restore your saved ROM. D. Use Odin and restore that way YouTube a Qbking video about flashing threw Odin.

Try holding Volume Down, home, and the Power buttons. This will get you into download mode. Then Odin a stock TAR file using a method displayed in QBKing77's videos. Search around, you'll find something. If you're still unable to find anything after a while, give me about an hour and I'll help. Good luck!
I had a backup of stock before root but when i tried to back up to it today it gave me a md5 mismatch so i couldnt back up to it. From what I seen in beaups thread that I need to be on a stock rom and stock kernal for his s-off method to work. Is there a stock rom that I could flash to use the s-off method?
I'd like this answered as well. I think andy's stock rom near the bottom of the page works, but I haven't had a confirmation yet. Also wondering if odex versus deodexed versions matter.
Same boat im in just waiting for somebody to say which one we can use when we are already rooted and unlocked. I dont know how my md5's mismatched on my stock before root backup but I can't go back to it so Im kinda stuck here until we get a answer.

Just heard andy's bonestock works trying it myself to confirm.
EDIT: Downloading the 1.1 download not the newest. Under old downloads. I would think the more stock the better.

Just tried v1.0a..... No dice.
I'd test 1.1 but for some reason it won't let me copy the zip over to my phone... Keeps saying the device has stopped working or has been disconnected. Tried many different USB ports.... Going to have to bluetooth it which is going to take even more time...

Actually I'm having more problems with this than I did trying it on 1.0a and NOS...
I'm trying to find my nandroid of stock rooted but I think it was on a drive that failed.
Linux boot, next???

Yea i got made fun of when using that lol...
SUPER MEGA ULTIMATE DISCLAIMER: IIRC = IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS DOESN'T WORK/SCREWS UP YOUR DEVICE/BRICKS/ETC. YOU ARE WARNED. THIS WORKED FOR ME IN THE PAST WITH MY GALAXY NEXUS BACKUPS USING CWMTOUCH 6.0.3.6 AND 6.0.4.3.
YOU ARE WARNED.
I HAVE NEVER USED TWRP FOR BACKUPS. IT IS A MERE SUGGESTION THAT THIS METHOD WILL WORK WITH SIMILAR RESULTS. I HAVE NEVER BROWSED A BACKUP FOR TWRP. ANY ATTEMPT YOU MAKE USING A TWRP BACKUP IS OF YOUR OWN COGNIZANCE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
YOU ARE WARNED.
YOU ARE WARNED.
IIRC: If you have an md5 mismatch while trying to restore in a recovery, try this process:
IF YOU HAVE A BACKUP I HIGHLY SUGGEST STORING THE BACKUP FILE ON YOUR DESKTOP JUST IN CASE!!!!
Boot into whatever ROM you're on ATM.
Browse to your ClockworkMod (or TWRP backup must have an accessible folder for it's backups) using a Root file explorer, which I happen to use "Root Explorer" and open the backup file you just made.
Inside of that will be a nandroid.md5.
Delete that file and reboot into recovery, and try restoring again.

This method did work for me several times on several backups, but root and S-Off being so new, I cannot attest that it works for the One. YOU ARE WARNED**!!

The sojo app called my issues dumb lol. It's hard to get frustrated when humor is involved with the errors.

Looks like we may have to flash the boot.img that they are talking about in the s-off thread anybody have a guide for doing that?
I take it nobody tried deleting the nandroid.md5?

I just tried looking for where the nandroid file was. I went to my sdcard on root explorer then to clockworkmod and didn't find any of my backups there. Is there another spot that i need to look in to do that?

If using CWM, they will be under the /data/clockworkmod/backup directory, not /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
I tried the odex stock rom, but it won't flash... Anybody have this issue?

Ok i found it it was under /data/media/clockworkmod/backup but i dont see any files inside of that that are a md5 file im going to look in the data.ext4.tar file and the system.ext4.tar.a. Does any of those ring a bell? i see the boot.img, data.ext4.tar.a, recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.a, and system.ext4.tar.b. Thats all the files inside the backup i made before i rooted.
