Hey guys, right now im running CM 10 stable build, but when i flashed CM 10 i flashed the d2att, which worked fine for me. SO i decided to dirty flash CM 10.1 d2att since i flashed the att build last time, then i figured, maybe i got lucky last time, so i dirty flashed d2tmo and it still didnt work!
I dont wanna have to wipe everything and do a clean install all over again! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Im with wind, so thats why the d2tmo made more sense, in case your wondering
Just to be sure, you do have the T999V model, correct?
If so, your answer is here:

CM10 is 4.1.2 and CM10.1 is 4.2.2. You cannot dirty flash different Android versions, you have to wipe and start over, after backing up everything first of course.
Alright thanks!
Just a quick question before i flash, do i need to be on stock TW, cuz as i said im on CM10
And all i do is flash this, reboot and then flash CM 10.1 and gapps? right?
Nandroid backup first if you haven't. You will need to factory reset after flashing cm I'm pretty sure. Backup your internal sdcard too, just in case.

You don't need to wipe data from CM 10 -> 10.1.
PSA: Upgrading from CM10 to CM10.1
As you may have noticed, we started updating some devices from cm10 (Android 4.1) to 10.1 (Android 4.2) during the weekend. The upgrade process has been tested extensively for the older devices (manta and mako didn't have that problem since they started out with 10.1), so you should be able to update directly without losing any data.
The single application known not to work is the Clock: Our changes to 4.1's clock to add the Stopwatch and Timer in CM10 aren't compatible with Google's own implementation of those features in 4.2 (which we're using in cm10.1); If your clock starts crashing after upgrading to 10.1, simply go into the Settings -> Apps menu, choose Clock from the All tab, and hit "Clear data".

Thats why I linked you to it. Just be sure you have a T999V and not a T999 model S3. Provided you do, it is safe to flash. many have already done so.
You can flash it while on TW or CM.
The assert is already there to include that bootloader in the latest CM10.1 Nightlies. I would suggest to flash CM10.1 & Gapps, then wipe cache & dalvik, then check your Baseband under Settings and About Phone, it may already be VLDLL1, because flashing a ROM shouldn't change those files (modem, etc.).

Cm won't flash, which is most likely because the phone isn't on LL1. Even if it is, its not going to hurt it to flash that firmware package.
If you want to be sure first though, what is your current baseband? Its under settings, about device.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
yea, it is LL1 (T999VVLDLL1)
Did you ever flash just the modem?
Or have you ever updated via ota or by odin flashing the firmware?

The error msg i get is " E : Error in /sdcard/CM10/cm-10. 1. 0-RC5-d2att. zip (status 7) Installation aborted "
Same goes for when i flash d2tmo
I think ive heard of that status 7 error somewhere, could that be the reason?
ALSO, i can easily flash carbon rom 4.2.1
I just prefer CM and i like not losing my data, so yea, the fact that i can flash Carbon but not CM 10.1 shows that theres no problem with my version of CWM
Update your CWM if you are not using the latest version. Whether or not Carbon flashed is not relevant.
Also, don't flash AT&T ROMs. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Flash T-Mobile ROMs. With d2tmo CWM. Link to the Odin .tar is in my signature. You flash the proper CWM, and CM will stop hassling you. When you attempt to flash CWM, it checks your bootloader version and recovery version. If either don't match what it's looking for - installation aborted.

First, I never said there was a problem with CWM, though if you aren't using the latest, I'd suggest updating it.
Second, you never answered my questions in my last post.
Third, I don't know how old Carbon 4.2.1 is but they are now on 4.2.2. When cm went to 4.2.2 is when they started checking your firmware, so just because you can flash that doesn't mean you can flash something newer.
So if you please, do the following and tell me what it says.
Open Terminal Emulator
Enter the following line:
getprop ro.bootloader
Let me know what it says please.
Also, everytime I've ever seen a Status 7 error, its been caused by the firmware not being up to date. So at this point I still believe flashing that firmware pkg I linked earlier will be your fix.

Ok, that's the problem then. Its scropted to not flash unless that reads VLDLL1. hou can either flash the firmware pkg I linked to, or odin flash the correct firmware. After that you should be able to flash cm.
The pkg I linked to would be the easiest to use.

I rooted my Bell Galaxy SIII this afternoon using Mr. Robinsons method.
All good. Have root. Installed CWM (LTE Variant and other newer listed on Mr. Robinsons thread. One at a time, same error)
Booted into recovery and tried to install CM10 after factory reset, dalvick wipe, yada, yada yada.
I get the error:
Assert Failed: getprop("ro.product.device*) =="E:Error in /SDCARD/cm-10-20120912-nightly-d2Att.zip (Status 7)
Might be some left out as not all of the error code is shown.
Tried multiple times to download CM using different browsers and directly on the phone.
I am able to restore factory rooted image no problem.
I then installed TWRP v2.2.2.0
Same error when trying to install CM10-current nightly
I'm assuming that this is related to device ID and I'm trying to install ROM's not suitable for it?
I've tried with AOKP version from Task and get same error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
Pretty sure these are good for Bell version....
Any idea's or confirmation that these won't work with my phone.
Thanks

Just so I learn something out of this...Why do I need this? I understand that both versions of CWM and TWRP I installed are used by people with the same hardware?
Just want to understand what I am missing.
Thanks,

EDIT: Okay, after doing some looking at the Build.prop file I see I have a D2Cann and the rom is listed as for D2ATT so the assumption I'm making is the older recoveries match that and won't proceed while CWM 6.012 doesn't? I'm downloading and going to install the latest CWM now to try and confirm this. Still not sure why this has worked for some people and not for me unless they are changing their build.prop but I haven't been able to find that to confirm it.
If you go in the cm10 thread in original developpenent, they specify which recovery to install with a link to download it.

its not the recovery that does the actual check for the device. it's the assert in the updater-script of the rom that you're trying to flash. CM10 checks for "d2att" and if thats not what in your build.prop it will error out and refuse to flash. Either remove that line from the updater-script or edit your build.prop.
Also. you need to try your best to read the OPs of the roms you're thinking about flashing. In the CM10 thread they even give you the information of which recovery you need to use and where to get it.

yeah, in this case, I thought I read everything and maybe got too much info. Still for coming from other devices (HTC DesireZ, Legend, couple of Asus transformers), having different device versions is a new step to tick off and learn.
Had the same issue with your rom too. Can I ask that you add a note to the OP about making sure Canadian versions change the build prop or only use CWM 6 cause I had the same issue with yours when trying to install. I'm not going to be the only guy that missed this.
Gonna install CWM 6 and change build prop to install your ROM. It looks good.

Hi there,
I have a Galaxy SIII SGH-i747 from Virgin in Canada. As for as I know, its the same as Bell and every other SGH-i747. So tonight I tried flashing cyanogenmod 10.1 to no avail. I have rooted and installed CWM. When I try to install any ROM it comes up with the error "assert failed getprop status 7". I have searched around and have tried updating CWM recovery through ROM Manager from the play store, but the app doesn't allow me to select my phone model (says there is no official release of CWM for SGH-i747) and says the current version will do. This ROM does not want to install.
HELP!:crying:

Status 7 is an out of date recovery or incorrect recovery.
You need a d2att recovery. The Canadian models are d2can. Same phone but it is a system fail safe.
Flash either one in recovery, reboot back into recovery, wipe and enjoy cm10.1

Yup. After flashing that zip and rebooting into recovery it'll reboot into the updated recovery.
Make a backup first of course.

Bump.
Did you have the most recent stock rom before flashing cyanogenmod? The newer versions of the nightlies require that you have the most recent bootloader. If you had ics, it'll fail to flash until you update your bootloader. The most recent build before the bootloader assert that you can flash is rc2.

I understand that, but I cannot flash the updated CWM. What am I doing wrong?
Okay, so I see people are trying to help me but it's so vague. Every article or how to, or help page ive read on this site or others, suggest conflicting ways to perform these mods. Why can't anyone just tell me straight up, you do this, then this, then that? I feel it shouldnt be this much of a headache and before I've even started modding, I'm getting very turned off. I am already frustrated beyond comprehension. Like I said, I've searched, and searched and nothing is helping. Everything is too vague.
So my question stands: I flashed an outdated recovery by accident, and I want to flash a new, UPDATED recovery. KorGuy provided me with instructions and a link to a new, updated recovery, however I cannot flash that from my current recovery.
What can I do to flash an updated CWM?
Can someone give me a hand?
You need to flash the most recent STOCK firmware through ODIN so you will have the most recent bootloader, then flash your recovery of choice through ODIN, boot into recovery, not system as the recovery will be overwritten iirc. Then flash cm in recovery

If you can't follow a guide like this and figure things out, maybe flashing ROMs just isn't for you. I'm not trying to offend, but this isn't for everyone.

Root your phone and install a custom recovery. Most root guides will include instructions for flashing a custom recovery. Next buy "ROM toolbox" form android market, I say by because you will love this app so much you will want to buy it eventually anyway.
Open ROM toolbox and select cyanogen mod. ROM toolbox will flash your phone for you! It can also flash the custom recovery if you did not do this when you rooted your phone.
Annnother must have root app is titanium backup.
Hope this helps.

Why not reflash the stock ODIN flash rom and make sure it all works ok for you, that will tell you exactly what the problem is.
If the stock rom is working properly, then there is only one thing left which is the culprit and that is the CM10/AOKP/AOSP
or PORTED roms which many people seem to like flashing.
The CM10/AOKP/AOSP and ported roms are excellent if you are a developer or if you like to do a lot of experimentation with your phone.
So the thing to do now is reboot your phone to recovery mode, do a "Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache", "Wipe System" and "Wipe Dalvik".
When that's done Open Odin and put the stock rooted T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 into Odin's PDA slot, go into download mode
and once you see Odin is connected to the phone start the flash. Have patience for the phone to boot after its done flashing.
Here is the stock rooted Odin flash T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 rom that you can download if you like: T999_UVDMD5
Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.2 Firmware
My suggestion to you is to only flash Samsung T999 Tmobile stock based Jellybean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 roms in the future.
But who am I to say whats best..... This is just my personal opinion...... Which usually is not worth a dime. LOL
Sorry, but untill we know more about it, I would not flash T999 firmware onto the T999L.
Its only been out a day and tgey are different model phones with different hardware.

I am a newbie. I thought the T999 was the same as the T999L. That would explain why Odin doesnt flash stock T999 onto my device. Can anyone here post a link to the stock SGH-T999L ROM?
Just did a quick check and I dont see that the firmware has been made available for download yet.
If you want stock I would flash one of the stock based custom roms via recovery for now.
Out of curiosity, what is your current baseband version?

I had the same issue with the same phone. Got it 2 weeks ago haha. Did you happen to make a backup first using CWM Recovery? If so, you can just restore that backup and you'll have your camera functionality back. It's pretty annoying switching back and forth from CM10.1 back to stock just to take pictures but Rom manager makes it pretty quick and effortless.
Actually now that I think of it, they prob wont release the original firmware. Seems like the first build is never available, only when an update is released do we get firmware we csn download.
I am working with another member on getting something going for the T999L, but right now we are stuck until a verified safe method of rooting is found. (Dont want to flash a recovery or cf autoroot w/o knowing it wont screw something up)
Itll happen, but we just gotta be patient.
Just reread the op and see that you say you flashed TWRP. So you were able to initially gain root without any problems?

I used Odin to flash Clockwork Mod recovery first. I did not like Clockwork Mod's interface and reflashed with TWRP. I had no problems to gain root with either of these methods. I also tried Cyanogenmod stable 10.0.0 and then 10.1 RC2 without any problems. As far as I can tell, all apps work except for the camera. One word of caution though. As you can see from my posts, I am new and dont know what I am doing. I might have just gotten lucky since my device is still unbricked. I had only one "scary" moment during the entire process. I used TWRP to wipe my phone clean and was stuck with no OS install file. ADB sideload did not work since it could not recognize the device at that point. Luckily, I had a micro SD card lying around and was able to put in a new OS install file using my laptop and then TWRP was able to handle it.

I had the same issue with the same phone. Got it 2 weeks ago haha. Did you happen to make a backup first using CWM Recovery? If so, you can just restore that backup and you'll have your camera functionality back. It's pretty annoying switching back and forth from CM10.1 back to stock just to take pictures but Rom manager makes it pretty quick and effortless.

Wish I had made a backup! Could you zip up the files contained inside "/system/cameradata/" folder and post a link here? It would help me and anyone else with the same problem restore the camera's functionality. In case you want to try it out, follow the instructions in this link but using the files from your stock backup

Good Luck!
How did you get Cyanogenmod installed on the t999l every time i try it aborts with status 7
Mine was failing with this same error. I reverted back to stock, re rooted, then downloaded the flash directly to the phones internal storage. Worked like a champ. I think in my case, there is an issue with the SD card, its kind of old.

You reverted to stock on the T999L? please exspain how that was done
Re flashed stock ROM using Odin. I believe I got the file from Samsung's website, but I'm not positive of that. I do know its huge, over 1 gig. If you need help with the re flash I know there are already how to's on here about that, so I won't go into it here.

You must be using a T999 as your sig indicates, not a T999L. Am I correct?

Don't I feel like a tool now. Yes Doc, plain old t999 here. Now that I read back through the whole thread here I see that I was being a bit redundant. Now I will return to my closet under the stairs.

Greetings! This is the first time I've felt compelled to post in the forums, so I apologize in advance if this happens to be in the wrong section. I've been running CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999VVLLH2 (Mobilicity) for quite some time now, and have only recently been interested in downloading and installing the nightly installments that are released.
I haven't had any issues installing the new nightlies at all, until seemingly after revision 20130513. It seems that after this installment, I receive an "assert failed, get prop, status 7" error, upon the attempt at installing any newer nightly revisions. Now, I did a tremendous amount of digging around before I decided to make the post, and discovered that within the newer revisions, the updater-script now seems to flag certain Baseband versions of the phone, and prior to revision 20130513 (currently have), it didn't, and I had no issues installing.
When I go into the CyanogenMod settings, all of the nightly updates are available, as usual, up to the latest at the time of the post (20130524) but none will install. In the latest revisions the updater-script does show a similar version (T999VVLDLL1), which I've come to understand is an update for the software.
Am I required to do another update before installing the latest CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies? Or is there another solution I haven't discovered yet? Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
On a side note, I am running the latest ClockWorkMod Recovery as well.
Im surprised that it happened to you on an AOSP recovery. Usually it happens when its a modded recovery with a kernel.
Try TWRP. Or check for an update.

You need to flash a firmware update that will update the bootloader. Not the UVDMD5 one though for sure because that's for T-Mobile. Maybe the other one. Lemme try linking you to the thread.

I have same problem and same phone t-online Firmware is up to date but i rooted for first time with no problem but cyanagon wont instal status 7 error. Please help
The latest T999V firmware is VLDMF2. It's been out less than a week so many cm and aosp roms will not have added I to their asserts to allow install.
Downgrade to LL1 firmware for now and it should flash.
Or change the asserts in the updater script

Well first thing you should do is update that old recovery. May be that's all you need.
The reason I mentioned the T999V firmware is because that's what the rest of the thread was for, so I assumed that's the model you had.
What model is your device? The T999 is a US only variant, the T999V is the Canadian variant. The European models should be the international ones, I9300.
If yours is international, do not flash anything you find here!

i do not know if its internatianl oder t-mobile. but it should be t-mobile because starting the phone there is t-mobile logo and it is rent from t-mobile
anyway i installed new recovery 6. via google play but in recovery mode there is still Status 7. even its t-mobile. i can try every version because there is always status 7 so i can not damge phone installing wrong version i think. o the other hand i have always wipe chare/ factory before installing the cyanagenmod. i must restore data now and system setting by advanced backup thats kinda annoying. but next i should maybe try INT. now
If you don't know what model it is, don't flash anything!
Look under the battery.

got any ideas?
Hey all, I've been in the android game for a long time now, so I'm not new to any of this, but this s3 here has me totally stumped.
It is my cousins (telus i747m), and we had it stock rooted 4.1.1 until yesterday.
I updated it to 4.3 with kies, and then he opted for a custom rom. So I flashed TWRP in Odin, and tried to flash gummy 4.4.2
It failed with a assert fail as well as a status 7. I tried old TWRP, New TWRP, Old CWM, New CWM, many different roms ranging from 4.3 and upwards. Still failing with the stupid status 7.
Kies no longer connects to the phone, so I can't restore through there. I will have to install through Odin and the download is horribly and painfully slow.
So is there any way to get a custom rom flashed? I have searched and no one seems to have an answer. Any help appreciated.
What assert failure were you getting?
I'd start back from scratch so go back to stock, then root and flash latest version of TWRP or CWM. Make sure when you flash a Rom it's for that specific device for example if its for the AT&T it's for the AT&T. Also make sure to do a factory wipe before installing any me roms
