So when i got my galaxy nexus about 3 weeks ago I rooted and unlocked the boot loader but stuck with the stock rom. My radio was FC12 for both CDMA and LTE. I didn't have any issues with those radios. My through put was around .6 - .7mbps down. I kept getting the message to do the OTA upgrade which was annoying so i manually flashed FD02 via fastboot. My throughput went to crap and was only getting like .02mbps. So this is what i did. I flashed back to stock recovery, flashed back to FC12 relocked my boot loader and did a full stock restore via the android OS. I still cannot install the OTA upgrade. Is there something I am missing? My plan was to go totally stock grab the updates and then reroot and unlock again.
Thanks and sorry if this has been asked but i did searched and couldn't find a similar situation.
also for a good funny for ya i forgot that unlocking again wipe everything so i lost all my pics and movies and backups That's what happens when you work on stuff with 2 rug rats running around and bugging you when you are doing something.
Wrong section this is for development please ask questions in q and a.
I think there is a stock fd02 tar that you need to flash through Odin... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620036
You could have reflashed the fc12 radios through fastboot.

Flash this to update the radios, then flash this to update the system files.
Thats the radio update that I used originally. Also I did flash back to the FC12 i just don't want to keep seeing the OTA message. Also were did we get this other update file? I'm not a big fan of putting .zips and custom ROM's on my phone since you don't really know whats in them...sorry in my line of work its something people rarely thing about when just willy nilly installing things to their phones/computers.
Well if you don't want to do any of what they told you to do, I would think your only other option is taking the phone in to Sprint and having them flash for you.

LOL because if it does have stuff containing "harmful" things... they will be sued. I've never had any issue flashing ANYTHING to my phone. I guess your one of those people who think somebody is wiretapping your LAN line huh? or your internet and now your phone?.... seriously we are only providing help... take it or leave it.

I made it. If you don't want to flash it, don't.
It's taken from the OTA, with the updater script modified such that it doesn't check or update the bootloader, recovery, or radios. The stock script won't work if a) you've unlocked your bootloader, b) done anything to your recovery, or c) don't have the original radios. Hence, your update is failing. That file won't.
I made it because I was tired of seeing the OTA update message. Your options are to flash that zip, or ODIN and lose all your data. It doesn't matter to me which you choose.

ok, first off i bought a at&t galaxy s3 sgh-i747. i have it factory unlocked to work with my carrier. here is the build info
model: samsung-sgh-i747
android version: 4.04
baseband version: i747uclg1
kernel: 3.08-599060-user
build number: imm76d.i747ucalg1
i rooted it on my own (first timer) with clockwork recovery, i have superuser. i also have some other recommended rooted apps, rom manager, titanium backup, busy box, metmorph. all these i am in the early stages of even understanding them.
so i went through at first and like ics. i just wanted it a little faster, i wanted to overclock it, got what i thought i needed, flashed the kernel i believe with odin, and was stuck at the samsung logo, it would show for a min and go away, then nothing, so luckily i found the stock kernal, flashed it back to stock. everything is cherrry. so today, i was looking into custom roms, found a couple. followed all instructions, flashed with clockwork recovery, while loading, it aborted and gave me a status 7 error. i restored my phone with recovery back to normal. tried with another rom with clockwork, same error. it aborts.
honestly what do i need to do to 1. install a kernel 2. safley install a stable rom (maybe just jelly bean) 3. be happy.

I recommend you look around the forums (searching thoroughly or threads with stickies) as there are already quite a few threads with reliable information about properly flashing Kernels and ROMs.
I CAN however tell you that to install a Kernel you usually need to make sure it's compatible with whichever ROM you installed, for example there is the KT747 with one version for Stock Based ROMs and another for AOSP roms etc.
Most Jelly Bean ROMs are still buggy but plenty are stable enough to use as daily driver, I personally recommend CyanogenMod 10 or AOKP (AOSP based ROMs). For Stock based ROMs in Jelly Bean I recommend Black Jelly, and Drew Garen Sprint ports. As for the Error you're getting when flashing, make sure you have the latest version of ClockWorkMod Recovery or at least one of the latest ones, as most of the newer ROMs require them. (I have version 6.0.1.2)
Here are some links to the above mentioned ROMs,

well here is the name of the recovery i used to root my phone: RecoveryGalaxyS3USCanada
i dont know what version as it didnt tell me. i went onto youtube and followed a set of instructions to root my s3. as far as i know i used the right one. i used root checker to do it.
i honestly really have no patience, and its my own fault most of the times, usually if someone tells me it works then i do it. but sometimes like this one, it didnt work. id like to upgrade whatever i can.
are there any good ice cream sandwhich based roms that i can use??

Another ROM Stock Based ICS I forgot to mention is KyanROM. That was the first one I flashed on my GS3 and I immediately loved it. It has been thus far the most stable and nice looking ICS room I have used. Perhaps you can give it a try! I believe its on the Android Development (Not to be confused with ORIGINAL Android Development) section of this phones forum.

Good job on that, but now you're getting a MD5 error? That happened to me to a while back. After searching, I came across this thread.

Error 7 means you're trying to flash leaked JB version on top of a ROOTED device. The leaked version ONLY works on NON-ROOTED LH1 version.
If you want to try JB, I will recommend trying (CM10 M2 build). Once you're comfortable, then update to the nightly build then.

Well I've been reading about rooting and installing roms on the galaxy note 2 for about 2 weeks now. However, I have the t889v wind mobile variant. which as I have read has a lot of problems attached to it. I don't understand why or how but all I know is that its there. The rooting process as someone explained it to me doesn't seem hard and too different from the t889 version.
But the problems arise in that you install a rom and you run the chance of losing your imei. you have to flash a modem which i hear gives some phones bootloop problems and some not. I also read that the roms have a problem running on the t899v.
Well i guess my question is that, is this a problem that occurs on every t889v or is it just some. If it is only some than what did you guys do wrong? and what are the steps to fix it. Because I really wan't multi-window feature and I don't know how long it will take Wind mobile to push out their updates I'm assuming close to never lol. Therefore I'm more reliant on Roms and rooting but I don't wan't it to the expense of rendering my phone useless.

You should be ok with either CWM update zip ROMs or Odin flashable ones that don't include the modem.bin image in their tar file. For those ROMs that do include the modem image, you can repack the ROM to keep only the system and boot.img, (Cygwin's tar binary works well for this.)
As has been said before, flashing modems can get ugly if you make but one mistake.

thanks for the replys but, by modem you speak of the t889v modem that has been posted on the developers page that said for canadian users to flash

They become slow because its using the tmobile modem, and if you flash the t899v modem available it will make your phone go into a reboot loop (Happened to two of my note 2), and im not sure if you can get the modem form your stock rom right now

well that's a shame if only there was a way i could just extract my modem and use it...I guess i'll just wait till more brilliant minds fix it. As waiting for wind to update is highly unlikely.
Actually rooting is really easy.
Download the toolkit.
Takes like 2 minutes.
Then you can use some very useful apps like titanium backup / adfree, etc.
Recovery is also useful.
You can use custom roms too. See details here:

Not too long ago I was on the same boat. I was pissed off when I got my gn2 with wind only to find out there is very little support for it. I read some horrible stories on xda but I can personaly say I didnt lose my imei or bootloop. I used the toolkit to root and then flashed jedi x14. With this particular rom you select the option to retain your modem so you will not be flashing any modems. This is the only rom I am willing to vouch for as I have not tested other ones. Make sure you flash twrp recovery and backup your rom with efs modem and everything before flashing anything. Always wipe before flashing and follow OP. I have not noticed my phone being slower but then again I never bothered checking my speed when my phone was stock either. Good luck

CARBON NIGHTLIES. | KROZ BROWN Theme | Crack Flasher
New galaxy user, here its a s3 for ATT 4.4.2 i747CUCFNE4. I have rooted using the Cf Auto-Root method.
Along the lines of trying to flash a new task manager apk, (for I had to factory reset my phone because the original task manager was missing) I came across a thread that had s5 apps (settings apk) and tried flashing this apk(don't laugh I know.) Then I couldn't get my phone to boot through the standard setup wizard. So I tried booting into recovery and factory resetting my phone clearing cache, dalvik, and partition.
My biggest problem arose when I chose to format system from ghe recovery.
I know all this can be fixed with odin but I can't find a 4.4.2 os link, I have read I can't simply downgrade my os. A link to a 4.4.2 stock rom thread would be greatly appreciated. I also have the Ktoonsez kernel installed if that makes any difference.
AT&T never released a full 4.4.2 ROM. AT&T released 4.3 and 4.4.2 via OTA updates only.
Since you are on the NE4 bootloader, do not flash anything that will attempt to downgrade the bootloader or the modem. A mismatched modem/bootloader combination may cause other problems.
Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917
Ok I just reviewed your link in your response but just to be clear I'm starting where it says step 3: stock deodex and root and finishing the walkthrough from there?
And also will this reset me to my factory kernel?? Either or it doesnt matter to me I'm still trying to find one that I find suitable.
And I appreciate the speedy response you've been a huge help.
If you just want to get your phone up and running, I would flash Philz and then CM11. Confirm the bootloader and modem then decide if a stock ROM would be best.
I am always paranoid when it comes to flashing bootloaders on the s3 so I prefer to know exactly whan my phone is running.
I have never used the thread I linked because I no longer have an s3 i747m. Infact, I haven't had my s3 for several months.
Ok and my last question is you can flash Philz and CWM 11 through odin?
Nevermind I see it now greatly appreciated
I hope it all goes well. With CM11, you will also need to flash Gapps via CWM as CM11 does not include certain apps such as the Play store.
Now odin wont recoginize or open any of my rom files. Li see the rom im trying to flash by name but when i click open it only opens the next folder instead of initiating the flash. I really just need someone who has a 4.4.2 stock rom in md5 format.(edited or not.)
As a last effort if i get no answer im going to try to downgrade to another os and reupdate to 4.4.2 right after. Ive been searching for days now all i see are guides from how to upgrade to a different os . If it does include 4.4.2 they only posted the update and not the entire rom.
And when i do find someone posting a full rom for 4.4.2 its either not for 747i or its not a md5 file so someone plz help me.

DO NOT downgrade to a bootloader older than your NE4 -- doing so will cause a hard brick.
You did mean i747 instead of 747i, didn't you?
Odin is designed to not flash any stock rom that would install a bootloader than the one on your phone. this is to save you from hard bricking your phone. Since you are on 4.4.2, any stock rom in a .tar.md5 format has an older bootloader than your NE4. As far as I know, the only stock NE4 rom on the forums is in a .zip format for flashing from recovery, it was posted by enewman17. (The thread audit13 linked.) If you tried to flash an older bootloader and baseband package through recovery you will probably hardbrick the phone.
Otherwise, there are roms based on TW in the forums: S3Rx, TMS3KK, Likewise, and others. Some use the stock kernel, others give you an option from their Aroma install. The iBubbler's kernel in a couple of these roms is reported to be excellent.
I'm guessing you pulled your S5 apk from either the S3Rx or Likewise thread.
I appreciate everyones feedback and guideance. Yeah I meant i747. It gets pretty easy to misread something when all you've been doing was researching roms and guides. And now its back to researching and finding one of the roms you mentioned. Much appreciated everyone I hope u all have a blessed day..
i know this a zip , but maybe could find help in the thread.
