I have installed the cwm with no problems using ODIN. I then transfered the SU zip file to my sdcard. I booted the phone into recovery mode, found the zip file and ran it. I rebooted the phone , superuser was there. I then downloaded titanium back up from the market and installed it, it gave me an error about not having the needed permissions. I then downloaded rootchecker to see if i was rooted and it responded with not rooted. So then I ran the cwm again, and did the zip again and still not rooted. So in my ultimate noobness i figured I'd do start from scratch again and did a factory reset. Of course the CWM was still there and superuser is still on the phone. Now when I try to power the phone off it locks on the goodbye screen. I thought I did alot of reading on the tutorials and what not before I gave this ago. Any suggestions or help would be greatfully appreciated.

can you turn the phone on at least to download mode? if so just Odin it back to factory.

just make sure you follow the steps for correct model. that's how i always start from scratch. afterwards reroot (which is also included on the site i posted) and install all your stuff. come back and get your prefered rom and voila. good luck
You need to make sure it's the right su file for your ROM version. ICS 4.03 uses 3.07.
Edit, originally thought you were talking about CM until I realized you were talking about CWM.

Sorry, I'm using Darkside Telus ICS not CM. I used su 3.07 to root.
I would assume each CM ROM has it's own gapps zip.
They are either baked in or you have to flash them separate. Usually its part of the thread if you have to or not and they will be included
Deff misread you post.. my bad.. my original response would have been still my solution. I would go back to complete stock and then reroot . Just one thing. If you already done that, did you fully factory reset from withing the phone. Maybe that could be the problem. Go to settings/ back up and reset/ factory reset. This will wipe everything that was previously installed. Make sure you do this after you unroot. And then start over from scratch. You should have no issue.

Seeing as these responses your getting have nothing to do with your question .. I have a suggestion. Since you have CWM have you thought of just flashing a stock already rooted rom?

I first posted this in MrRobinson's excellent thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35165945&postcount=1610, but decided others might benefit from it that may not be following his instructions because they're already rooted...
For now, just see my instructions in the post mentioned above. Once I get off work this evening I will be updating this post with more detailed information. At least one other user has followed these instructions and reported that his flash counter remains at 0, even after multiple reboots and custom recovery actions.
The usual disclaimers about bricking your phone, blowing up your grandmother's house, drowning your dog, etc. apply. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE!!!
Reserved - just in case...
I can confirm this method works as described. I also added instructions in the same thread on how you can still use this method if you happen to have already upgraded to JB via the traditional method (ie via ODIN or Kies) and have a count or custom status. It requires reverting to stock ICS and recovery and then moving forward with the above process, and the end result is Rooted JB with Custom Recovery and retaining official rom status with no counter increments.
whats the point.. if you put a custom recovery on it updates the counter anyway.. on every boot. unless you root and remove certain files.. and if you are rooted and remove those. you can use triangle away anway.
If you revert to ics, then flash jb without the accompanying bootloaders you don't have to worry the flash counter. Why is that important? In case you need to warranty it and can't get to triangle away to reset it. And some of us like to say its never been tripped
Btw, I'm running rooted stock with twrp and my counter is still 0. And i installed twrp after flashing jb.

That's the point. I flashed and KEPT my custom recovery, and it does not increase the counter no matter how often I use it. I haven't tried loading a different custom recovery now that I'm on JB, but so far all is well.
By the way, sorry I haven't followed up on the OP. Been very busy.

You're doing it wrong. Mine still displays 0 and official after installing multiple recoveries, countless zip flashes to include AOKP and TW ROMs and approx 4-5 Odin flashes. My wife's recently rooted and jb'd S3 also says the same thing.

no that is becuase one of the flashes you did removed those recovery files that comes with stock jb.. or replaced the kernel that reflashes them..
normal upgrade from ics to stock jb.. will reset counter on every boot unless you change the kernel or remove the recovery image.

It's fine on ICS... this is Jedi Invasion JB and the KT747 kernel. I wasn't sure if it was just the ROM and then noticed that others with different roms and stock roms had the same issues. I'm wondering if it wasn't an issue in the initial JB release (this is a ported T Mobile rom) that the dev built this rom off of. I'll flash another JB version and see if the problem persists.

So... it appears my previous issue was a bad sd card. It's kind of a big coincidence that the old card didn't work with the Jedi rom, and now the new card doesn't work with any rom. I just flashed AOKP and the correct KT747 kernel, and no love. I pulled the 32g sd card and fed it my wife's old 8g card, and it works perfectly. Is there a such thing as a rom cooking an sd card?
great find! followed the instructions with mobile odin and worked like a charm, I came from a jb aosp rom, but first I nandroid back to an ics-lg1 backup I did a few months back, no counter tripping after a few reboots into recovery
one question, is there any thread where I can find mods for this 4.1 TW stock jelly bean, like power menu, toogles, kill back button,tether etc if anyone has a link please share
many thanks!
When your sdcard went did it say damaged? That happened to me going from ics to jb mr robinsons official stock. So i put in a brand new card, then it tells me under about status is modified which it wasnt when the first sd card worked. Even odder my pc couldnt see the card, so i thought it truly was damaged. I put it back in just to try a day later and all of a sudden i can format it within the phone, which, I due and then it works again and the modified under status is back to normal. Im gonna go through the source of that package this week and see if I can find whats up and what could of tripped and then reverted that counter.

Right on this worked great! And now don't have to worry about the stupid flash counter
sent from the dark side of the universe....
I followed the method in this thread (using mobile odin to go from rooted ICS to rooted JB). It was pretty easy and it worked great. However, after the first restart, I started having a strange problem. Every 5 minutes, the phone will lose its network connection for approximately 30 seconds. This appears as red on the "Mobile network signal" under battery usage details, and I'm unable to make any calls. This drop happens like clockwork. You could set your watch by it.
I've tried everything (uninstalling certain programs, flashed different modems, factory reset, etc) and nothing worked. I reverted back to ICS and then redid the method from this thread, and the same thing happened (JB worked great until I restarted for the first time, etc..
Any ideas? For a while I thought it was some weird issue with the analog clock widget.... But getting rid of that didn't help. And I've tried every possible google search on this issue but I can't find anything. For now I'm back to ICS.
Yea that is weird maybe just try it over again fresh odin ics and go from there. Almost seems like something didn't take going thru the flash process

Is it supposed to use T999 firmware?

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.
If you decide to try anyway, please post your results

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.

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.

Before you guys read this thread, let me just go ahead and say that i AM in fact a XDA noob... so dont hate. I didnt come here for that, but i came for help. Now, i did notice that there were alot of people having similar problems as i was. And yes, i did read all those threads. BUT, the only difference was, they got that error while trying to unroot. I was trying to root mine. I simply tried flashing CWM (and yes i made sure it was the correct flash as well) and it failed. Tried rebooting the phone, and i got that error. I am honestly freaking out right now as to if i have lost my phone or not, so i wouldnt appreciate hate in the comments, that would not help. So please help if possible... Is there a way to fix this?
We're you on stock Rom. How did you try a put CWM on your phone?? Odin??
Best way to install a recovery is Odin or goo manger!!
If you can get the phone into download mode then you can just flash back to your stock firmware...
Unless you flashed the wrong recovery on your phone. Then your in store for brick city.

thanks, i was actually on odin. But i think i found the solution. You see, when i was trying to find a solution on my own, i accidentally ended up installing a verizon rom on my phone which is att. (i didnt know it was verizon) The rom works, but i cant use mobile data, because its not a verizon SIM card. However, i managed to install TWRP recovery with goomanager, and from that i will attempt to install the JediXP14 custom rom. Strangely, it seems the phone is rooted even though i was told it failed. I will let you know on the progress, should be done in an hour or so.
Oh boy..... I smell brick city.. You better be careful what ur doing with Odin... If u are flashing stock firmware in Odin it flashes the radio with it....
Ok guys, i SOMEWHAT resolved the issue. But there are alot better ways of doing it, i was just forced to do it the following way:
The only flash rom i could get to go in through odin was a Verizon rom. It was basically the stock Note 2 rom for verizon.
Now the only problem with this, is that obviously, my phone is ATT and this is a Verizon rom, but it WILL work, but with an exception. Wifi and all will work, you can call and receive messages, but you cannot access the internet via mobile data. So that was another issue that popped up. I tried flashing an att stock rom through odin, but it stayed stuck at "Setup Connection" so that didnt work. The only solution i could think of was to unlock the rom, so i could use data with my ATT sim card. Strangely, the phone thought that it was a Verizon phone when it was an ATT phone, so that was the only option. It required a root but that wasnt a problem. I installed Hidroid off the play store and unlocked it that way, and now everything works fine. There is still an error message in the status bar saying "Non-Verizon SIM" but despite that message, everything still is in working order. If anyone knows what to do once you first get that error message, you could post it below for anyone else having the same problem. And if there is a way to change it back to the normal ATT stock, that would be appreciated as well. Thanks

Maybe you just need to flash att modem with ril for your device. Scroll down and dload the one for att then flash using cwm or twrp. After flashing modem try flashing att rom again via Odin.

Ok guys I resolved the problem. But it took more steps than it needed. This is for people who accidentally flashed the wrong type of recovery to your phone (example, gt-1700 version of cm what on sgh-I317) I'll be renaming this thread if I can. So here's all the steps I took. Now keep in mind that I didn't exactly know what I was doing so I kind of learned on the way, like I said in the beginning of this thread, I am a noob, and I admit such.
1. Install any rom that is in md5 format (preferably with your carrier modem but anything will do) I used a verizon rom. I can't exactly provide a link given my user status though, but I will when I can.
2. If you don't have wifi and downloaded rom under incorrect modem, then download hidroid on the play store and unlock it. It should be simple once getting the app. This will allow you to use mobile data. You'll need it.
3. Download goomanager
4. Press menu button
5. Install open recovery script
Now you should have TWRP installed on your device.
6. Install any custom rom compatible with your device, but make sure it comes with the correct modem as your phone originally had.
7. Flash it through TWRP (make a backup first)
You should be done from there. Now I don't recommend this. There has to be an easier way, so it would be great if anyone could provide that below. But the steps above are the steps I took. Thanks

Umm guys, i ran into a similar problem. Where would i find the att rom to flash from odin?
I originally posted in the wrong area, and was told to post here instead so, here goes. I have a US Celluar GS3, SCH-R530U, and I lost root access while trying to upgrade from stock rooted 4.1.2 to CM 10.1.3. I've tried flashing SuperSU along with CM 10.1.2 to my phone with no success. Every time I try to flash something new it says 'Can't open /storage/sdcard1/-filename-.zip (bad)' and it aborts. I don't know how I can get a file on the phone memory since the phone never boots up past the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' screen, so I'm really stuck and I don't have a backup phone, so if someone could help me get my phone up and running again, I would really appreciate it.
Original Thread
I really only need help getting my phone to a bootable state again, I have backups of everything, so if someone could please help me out, I would be most grateful. I've been trying dozens of things. I just tried doing CF Auto Root through Odin, and that didn't work, it just removed CWM. It still freezes up at the same screen, so I'm really lost as to what to do.
My best advice would be that you download the Odin file that matches with your phone. But get the fully stick one. There should be one that is rooted and non-rooted. Get it back to stock and start from scratch. I know it may suck but honestly in problems like this it doesn't hurt to go the safe way

That would not be a problem at all, in fact, that is what I would love to be able to do, but I haven't been able to find an image file for odin to do it. Every image for a stock rooted file for my phone is formatted for CWM, and it won't flash anything from my sd card right now. If I had an odin image, I would do just that.
Found one and flashed it. It's sad to see everything on my phone get deleted though.
