Hi guys, got nitro hd a few weeks later. Till now never rooted and it's still in gb 2.3.5. Now wanted to try something and thought of upgrade or flashing a roms.
So what I need is, should i go for official ICS or cm rom. And as I'm a noob would like a detailed tutorial on flashing/rooting.
Thanks in advance.

Here's my suggestion of how to progress into the custom ROMs world...
1. Read about rooting your Nitro. Look in our Dev Forum for guides on doing it.
2. Root while you're still on 2.3.5 (to circumvent any of the stated issues with rooting Official ICS), also install CWM (ClockworkMod) on it as it will allow you to easily install ROMs.
3. Then try the CM9 ROM nightlies. It's fast, stable and smooth.
4. After you've gotten comfortable with that and have gone through a few nightlies...Then you can feel free to venture forth into the other custom ROMs (MAKE SURE you're familiar with making proper backups in case you want to revert back to previous builds/ROMs), or even the CM10 Preview builds.
Good luck!

Sorry to Hijack .But isnt it like a Pain to Root the Official ICS update ,wouldnt it be easier to root on 2.3.5 and install CWM and then flash ? Im not second guessing you ,I just got my Nitro HD today but been reading that the process to root ICS is kind of long and tricky.

You could be right. I rooted mine back on 2.3.5 so I haven't gone through any of the hassles as have been stated with rooting from official ICS. I shall adjust my original post.
Doble check.
OP double check your baseband version cuase if its 2.3.5 V10j ,it has been stated that its nearly impossible yet doable after many tries.
To be honest, I don't know more details about the android world. Can someone plz link the basics of android like cwm, adb & so I can have some basic knowledge about it.
Actually, I feared I would brick it.
And thanks guys for the replies.

If you wanna try the official ICS, get cwm from ROM manager. Then download honos flash able official ICS. Try it out, if you like it, keep it, if you don't, switch to something like cm9 or cm10 or hono's full throttle or honos aokp, the choices are endless, all you need to do is search .

There is no chance of bricking, if you get cwm from ROM manager itself.

Try the official ics before custom ics, it's WAY faster than official gingerbread, it's stable and once debloated it's pretty perfect as it is to me.
Then if you want to taste something else, try the cm9/10 but I would let them as a second passage to ics/jb.
For the official rom you can either flashing with lg tool (using the before - after rooting method brianlily posted here) or go with cwm as stated by rani9990, it should be the same.. the substantial difference is that if you don't put the cwm recovery before ics, then you'll need to go through partial unbrick process to revert back to gingerbread, because on ics the cwm won't be possible to install.
Hey folks,
I rooted my GS3 months ago and recently tried downloading the OTA update. The update failed and now I am stuck at 4.0.4 and when I tried to update I have a grayed out continue update option. I don't mind manually flashing the update via usb but I want to stick with just a stock rom just rooted so I can remove the bloatware and use Titanium Backup. Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Try getting a clue and posting in the right section moron.

Hey, he's just trying to fit in with the rest of the stuck-up XDA followers whom have a false sense of entitlement lol.
For the OP, 4.2 is not out just yet. I'm sure you meant 4.1.1 JellyBean. Take a look here, it's a great tutorial to get to the new update for the brand NEW stock GS3 Touchwiz Jellybean. It allows you to keep your root as well:

Also good advice. I'm sure there are a few stock based TW ROMs in the development section that the OP can flash. I wouldn't know as I'm an AOSP head. Anyway, the OTA update probably failed due to the fact that he's rooted and probably removed some bloat. My suggestion to the OP would be to flash any of the JB Touchwiz ROMs in the subforum I mention if that's what he wants. There's also tutorials floating around on how to do that if he's unsure of what to do.
Also, thread reported for movement.
Silly Humans. All you had to do is report that it was in the wrong section and one of us would move it out of Development and into the appropriate section. Oh wait, that is what 1 user did do.
I was going to clean this thread out but instead, I'll leave all the responses so that if anyone comes across this, they'll know what not to do and how not to respond to threads started in the wrong section.
Moved to Q&A
Thanks Wood. I have that magical mod power on other forums and miss it when I visit forums I don't have the power in. The responses some people give are just aggravating.
Thanks guys!
Sorry for the wrong forum. I tried posting in another forum but it said I was restricted because I had less than 10 posts. With your help I am successfully at 4.1. :good:

If you want to keep root i would recommend installing root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 from odin assuming you have a att phone. This is probably the easiest way.

What he's trying to tell you is that there are many 4.2.2 ROMs, and they're all a little different (some are very different), so he can't send you a link, because there are like 20.
There isn't one from Samsung (official, in other words) yet -- there may never be -- so if that's what you're thinking, you're at the latest version available already.
soupysoup, is there a COOK 4.2.2 ROM for *some* manufacturer (e.g., Jedi Mind Trick is for T989s)? I'm wondering if he means ROOT, but I thought I'd ask.
I would be scared to point a finger in any direction. LOL. Probably a language barrier.....but if the OP doesn't read exactly what to do AND understand it, his next thread will be about a brick.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.

The best thing to do at XDA is read and learn. Reading the forums is the best way to find what you are seeking. Closed.
Has anyone figured this out yet? I tried, and got the TWRP recovery installed, (although at the top of the screen when booting to TWRP it said in red letters, Not enforcing SElinix ?) anyway, then I tried to flash the SU superuser and it boot looped. So I am back at the beginning after managing to get back into TWRP and wiped, and re flashed the new 5.1.1 again. Has anyone else had any luck with this? I haven't tried CF autoroot yet, and to be honest I'm really scared to after this.
edit...someone else tried the CF autoroot, and it too boot looped their tab. This doesn't look good.
I gave one idea in the other thread. Or try making a pre-rooted version with this.

Thats well beyond my skills. Thanks tho, but there isn't many developers for our t-900, so it looks like we may have to put up with bloatware for a while.
If/when the 10.1 lollipop update comes out I might take a stab at it... But no promises. I used to do stuff for the Tab 2 10.1 until it broke... And that was using the old Android kitchen. I've never used the new one...
I haven't done any dev work in over a year, and even then it was pretty basic! Lol just a couple of ports and pre-rooted roms.

Why don't you try it?
I'm trying to DL the FW right now, but at this rate I won't have it until sometime tomorrow. Pretty annoying server.
ps. if you try flashfire, make sure you set your tablet date back a month in order to make flashfire think the beta isn't over (it won't work if it sees the date as past September 1).
I'm not sure how flash fire will help since we are already flashed to 511
