[Q] How to flash .img?

Ive been working on getting cm10 on my t999 gs3 but cannot figure out how to get cwm touch on the phone. I already have cwm 5.5 but it gives me an error when applying update from sd (trying to install cm10 nightly latest build).
The newest cwm is a .img file in which I have not a clue how to install. I was getting used to flashing tar files with odin.

Can you point me to a thread? Or do you know the commands to run?

Download rom manager from store and install recovery from there. Much easier and less likely to cause problems with a typo.

Was stuck in a boot loop, reinstalled cm10 and gapps. Working well now. But the SD card doesnt mount? All I can see is onboard memory. Is this a common issue with cm10?

Its hard to say, I rooted my phone successfully, then using Odin i tried to flash a rom using a guide i found now Im stuck with this.
I was hopeing to put lighting rom on or something "fast"

So after you rooted it did you boot it up and it worked? What kind of file was the rom that you were trying to flash using odin? You should install a custom recovery, I prefer twrp and it's very easy to install. And what is this lighting rom? Never heard of it
And what guide did you follow to flash a rom in odin?

I didn't boot up, it wont boot now. im not sure the file type im a noob. sorry i cant tell you more. im at the download mode screen should i try to flash a rom?

You may need to try and use odin to put the stock firmware back on and root it again. I don't think you can flash zip files using odin. You use a custom recovery. Search YouTube on how to root your phone and install a recovery. If I understand you right, you rooted it and immediately tried to install a zip file using odin which you can't do.

And what guide did you follow. There are plenty on here that walk you through exactly what to do. Or on YouTube you can watch videos of people doing it.

This thread has the factory firmware with root already in it. That should work. Follow the instructions and make sure it boots up before flashing any roms. Then search on how to install a custom recovery, how to make a backup, and how to flash a new rom. There are plenty of directions or there and resources to help. And YouTube really helps.

i might have jumped the gun odin say it passed no failures. but how long dose it take for the phone to boot seems to be staling on the start of when it says Samsung

Go to the market and install root cheaker....and if you are rooted then go to the market and get goomanager, hit menue install open script recovery, , then that should install a custom recovery to your device...you can access it by turning phone off then holding volume up home then power till samsung screen shows.. then on e twrp boots hit backup, and back up to sd...onnce thats done then,,,,, u need to read some more:beer:

[Q] ParanoidAndroid 3.99-RC2 (JB 4.3.1) Bootloop

I'm a total noob to the Android ROM scene and tried to update from JB 4.1.2 (stock Samsung ROM) to JB 4.3.1 (ParanoidAndroid 3.99-RC2). I thought everything was fine until I rebooted after install and got stuck in a boot loop. Had to take the battery out to boot into recovery.
Here's what I did, exactly, if it helps at all:
Rooted with CWM recovery.
Full wipe.
Installed PA 3.99 ROM & GApps, in that order.
Cleared cache and dalvik-cache, rebooted.
I'd appreciate any help.

Bootloop
I hate it when that happens
Did you try restoring from an Nandroid Backup?
or try another ROM...just flashed JMT8 and it went perfect
could also be corrupted Data as it seems JB 4.1.2 has issues, Format instead of Wipe but you lose all ur Data
Good Luck :good:

4.4 ROM Flashing difficulties

Hello, I have been trying to flash a 4.4 ROM on my Optimus G for the longest. I am currently running a 4.3 but can't a stable one as well. Every time I try to flash a 4.4 TWRP almost instantly says fail every time even though it is the most updated version, does anyone know why this is?

You have to use a KK recovery. CWM or TWRP will be marked as working for KK. KK being 4.4

Well, if you have the right TWRP, and are wiping /system, /data, /cache, /dalvic, I'd say bad dl , or your SD might be messed up.
That's the only reasons I can think of.

See if you can flash a stock ROM. Also, reinstall recovery. DL the one from Shelnutt2 on the codefire server. There's also a link for it in the root guide.
After reinstalling recovery, and if it'll install a stock ROM, try a 4.4 rom again. If it still fails, I'd say try wiping your SD.
Other than that, I'm at a loss.
