don't even need to wait for it to install successfully. Sometimes a "fail" is actually a success, so if you're having problems of it flashing successfully then you should check your app drawer.. its probably in there already.

yep probably my 4th time lol. Since t-mobile had their "sale" and i believe prices are dropping for the gs2 (target/walmart) expect a lot of new users with derp questions.. I do hope it dies down.
I should probably create a template so i can just c/p everything over and over.
OH WAIT that's what stickies are for.

DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.

I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

That's slick!:good:

hard brick - a pretty paperweight (tonight)
should have been more careful, soft bricked the phone, 2 times trying to change the dpi.
once trying to flash a rom - the rom flash, took it to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, not impressed but i'll take this downtime as a time to relax.

Another way to avoid a brick; Don't use a mod, theme, tool or ROM until it's confirmed by multiple people in the community that it's working properly. Read the last 3-4 pages of a thread

I agree with you, I ended up with a soft brick stuck at the samsung glowing logo after trying to unroot because I got a crack the front plastic near the headphone jack. I managed to reset the flash counter and install the rom but odin failed at the end. Now I'm hesitant to flash another ROM. Anyone else here waiting for JellyBean Rom? Definitely take your time and always make sure your computer installs the drivers before doing anything! I got BB to exchange it for me since they couldn't get it to boot and the mystery crack wasn't my fault. I only had it for like 3 days IN A CASE TOO. Happy Flashing dudes.

I'm just glad i saw a forum for the gs3. I would've bricked my phone after i got it.

Another bricker my own fault went to unroot to take in for service and went and loaded a wrong .tar file of the stock system. Anyway...not looking for sympathy..just wanted to say thanks for the forum that gave me the tools to fix my mistake :thumbup:

Original is usually built from scratch/source. Android development is based from stock, leaks or ports

GS2 stock rom gapps jb 4.1.2 for cm10

I jus recently bought a t-mobile samsung GS2 the other day for t-mo's 2 day sale they just had and of course i had to root it and boot it wit cm10, and mind you it was a success ( after not doing it for a year and a half ). but when i went to add my jb gapps some of the apps didnt work and i had flashed the stable cm10. so i flashed the stock gs2 t989 rom so what i did was this:
1. open (2) 7-zip windows
2. copied the app folder from the gs2 stock rom.zip over to the app folder inside the jellybean gapps zip ( drag and drop )
3. resigned it with 7zip
4. flashed it and cm10 and i got all my new gapps.
im no pro but i do have successfull xda exp from the g2 ,g1 &moto droid 1.

If u don't develop a ROM or a kernel or crate anything please don't post here I well help you if u post in q and a

Samsung galaxy S3 hard brick

Can someone please explain why I bricked my galaxy s3 phone. I have a Samsung galaxy S3 sgh-t999. Phone had a 4.1.1 system and it was rooted. I installed MS Team HD 11.0 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886332 after installation was completed phone asked to reboot and never came back. Black screen and no buttons responding. Was that rom not for my phone? Also that Rom was in the phone memory not SD card.

That would be because you flashed a rom for the i9300 international model not for the t999. It is always important to read read read before diving into things. Sorry to hear your situation.

Look on the forum directory.
It reads "> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Android Development >"
from that we can assume that all posts made in this section are for international S3 devices.

Do you know where to repair your phone from the brick? I recently bricked my s3 flashing the t999v bootloader but luckily for me there's a guy here in Dallas, TX that repaired for $30 he has a listing in ebay

You can either pay to have it jtag or you can just call tmobile and tell them you don't know what happened. You gotta have insurance though. Don't worry about the no warranty fee cause they won't be able to tell anything about the phone in that condition because nothing works lol. ....reason I know is cause I did the same thing to my sprint s3.
tmobile s3 running wicked. I still use a t9 text app so excuse the errors

I had my phone hard bricked too, he fixed it for me and everything was great afterwards :]

Everything on the phone....you can skip it, but the OS also stores data on internal storage, so I would recommend it.
Everything else though, system, dalvik, cache, data

Data my internal storage. I got stuck at the boot ani and you said that it was just deodexing the system so I let it sit for 10mins and it didn't boot.

So guys, confirmation that is booting for everyone else and I'm not crazy?

Boring? Yes very boring. , I'm happy you got it booting I might try it out when you guys finish this just to see why you like it so much. Good luck, you have plenty of awesome people here that I am sure will help.

It was him, but he had replaced other files too.

so I can just download from this thread, rather than the "ported" one in the VZW forums, since I'd rather follow the main guy behind this genius-ness

I am fairly sure that that port was just the same ROM reuploaded to dropbox. So I do not know what it is that he added or removed or whatever, but yes, you can flash the ROM from my dev-host as if you had a Sprint S3
