Warning do not flash your sprint galaxy nexus with the roms in ths forum yet

Don't find out the hard way that the roms in this forum won't work with a sprint galaxy nexus. You will have no cell radio access with them. There is no way currently to get back to stock.
--- Mods please delete this once a fix back to stock has been fixed.

This is pretty common knowledge...but let me ask you this, to flash a custom ROM, you must have a custom recovery...did you nandroid backup before flashing?

Can I root?
I had expected the Verizon ROMs would have incompatible radios, but will the root methods and other recoveries/mods work?

Yes I did but it got wiped on accident while flashing roms. It happens and I am sure there will be a fix soon. But quite a few other people have done this.

That doesn't help because the modem is irrevocably flashed to Verizon's version, and we don't have any Sprint radios to recover yet.

If you did flash a Verizon ROM on your Sprint Galaxy Nexus, flash the TWRP recovery, then place this in your Nandroid backup folder and restore.
When Android boots, update Profile & PRL in the About screen, reboot, and data should be working again!

Roms do not contain radios, so yes it would help.

Umm you can flash a nandroid of stock. But the thing that also breaks this is the kernel.

OK , but still a reflash of the rom (every rom includes a kernel) should set him back to good. Period. Needs a stock rom to flash then will be be fine. This is much ado about nothing.

There will be a separate Dev section just like there is for Verizon and GSM now.
But seriously how would you ever think that a Verizon ROM with no changes would just work on a Sprint GNex?

Help with rooted GS3 please!!!!!

EMERGENCY!!! I've been following your guides for rooting, etc. Now I was trying to flash a ROM, and when the phone booted into recovery, I didn't get the usual blue list of options. There were a few options, and then in yellow *MANUAL MODE* ... I tried flashing the roms anyway and it said in red "signature verification failure" ... and "operation aborted" (something like that) WTF?!?!? HEEEEELP!!!!

Sounds like you don't have a custom recovery in your phone yet. Look into flashing twrp's touch recovery. You tried to flash through the stock recovery.
Download ROM toolbox from market and to flash a recovery(twrp) go to tools>manage Rom and then on the top choose the manage tab. The top of the list is the option to flash a recovery. Flash recovery and then you could come back to the app to flash the ROM of your choice.

Thank you - and I'm sorry for my ignorance, but where do I find that and how do I install it?

I just edited my post, read again.
I guess I should ask, are you rooted? Or have you not done that yet? That app will not work without being rooted and without superuser permissions.

I used to use ROM manager but I switched to ROM toolbox. I just simply like it better. More options. I haven't used ROM manager in a while, so I don't even know what the current version offers. I prefer phantomhacker's blazer ROM. But if you like themed roms, there are a few out there. I am not on any custom ROM right now, just stock rooted with a few mods and tweaks. I had blazer ROM on my gs2 and was my favorite on that phone too. Just do allot of reading on each roms thread so you can see if there are any issues. I always read read read before flashing.

Final question - is there a list somewhere here with all the ROMs out there for the GS3?

Sprint galaxy s3 android development section. It will say [ROM] in the title. If you are looking for cm9, cm10, aosp, or aokp type roms, look in the Sprint galaxy s3 original android development section.

I promise I'm not trying to insult you, but:
1. Your choice of thread title doesn't explain anything.
2. Your original post wasn't very coherent.
3. You failed to do the first thing when buying a new phone, which is read, read, read before even downloading a ROM.
Next time, please be as clear and detailed as possible when describing an issue, and choose a more relevant thread title. Next, troubleshoot; if the phone says "operation aborted", try rebooting the phone. Tell us what happened and what you've done.

no i havent tried that yet : o
do i just flash the file the OP said to flash first in Odin under PDA and the ill have 4.3?

Give SN 4.3 a try it's smooth and stable for me no FC's, Wanam Xposed is the bomb! (Std version not the Note3 version) Not sure what carrier you're on but I can confirm that you CAN go back to 4.1.2 effortlessly by following steps listed in OP section.
I had no end of troubles installing with latest TWRP 2.6.3.1 installed it just does not seem to play well with 4.3 at this time. Philz CWM based recovery however solved all issues smoothly. Not a knock on TWRP I've used it on every device I own and still say it's the standard others aspire to!

I had the same problem. I used one click and Pilz recovery. TWRP was the issue.

Upgrading to T-Mobile 4.3 via OTA

Just checked for updates as described in other threads and it found the latest 4.3 update. I have read both positive and negative responses to the update. Some found things they used in 4.1.2 that are being taken away. Some like the new features in 4.3. It will vary from person to person whether the ROM is better for them or not. Fact is, all devices (current and future) are moving forward.
Should I just install the update? Should I make a copy of my current setup with one of the recoveries, then odin back, and run triangle away?

Strange. I went ahead and updated. Even after doing two complete resets, I still have SU app from 4.1.2. I guess it carried the program during the upgrade process?

it basically dirty flashed the new update over your 4.1.2. I honestly didn't care much about the KNOX boot loader since my warranty is already over. but, I find not having to flash devil kernel so much easier w/ less lag.

Hopefully someone will develop something that resets the KNOX counter. Triangle worked for 4.1.2, but does not work in 4.3 for me.
BTW, what 4.3 ROMs do you like, since we have the new bootloader? I just installed TWRP and trying to decide on a ROM.

I am installing DN3 and am in their installer. It asks me whether I want the N7105 version... or the i317 or i317M. I read to install the ATT version, but what's the difference in the M and non-M version?

So I have a question I hqvent been on in a while and last I checked the newest update came with a locked bootloader. I know it did for the s3. I liked the newest software on the s3 but I jus5 cant stand all that bloat and not having full control of my phone. That s3 was killing me. I just got my note2 back from samsung with a nice new screen and of coure they forgot to send the spen with it. Not that I use the stupid thing anyway but still come on. Anyway is the bootloader locked on this one also and how hard is that to get around?

theyre for different companies i believe. as how ours (T889) also has a T889v ( i think thats the right letter) version as its for a different conpany. I installed using the ATT one. there's really no difference because you're just going to flash a tmobile modem over it.

yes the boot loader is locked. I don't believe there's a workaround it yet. but I'm even sure. you can scroll around through the threads and see if there is. what I did was just update it anyways and tripped my KNOX boot loader to ox1. I didn't have warranty anyways so I'm not tripping over it. and then I just rooted it, flashed cwm and started to flash ROMs.

Thank you. So is the root process the same? Usually i flash twrp with odin then install su permissions then I flash away. Or do I have to use another method? Really all I want is the modem software so I could just wait till someone pulls it out they usually do. I always liked c heckin out the latest stock rom but always changed back to aokp.

I wrote instructions on how I rooted. there could be other methods to. this is easiest for me! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2562994
if you're going to end up on aokp, you should just stay on the 4.1.2 boot loader. the update to me is really only for TW roms because the stock ROMs are working just fine w/o the new boot loader.

Anyone flash TWRP and a ROM after OTA

I did a search and couldn't find an answer. I got the OTA (Thanks to my wife, while I still sleeping) I did get it rooted and knox disabled. Don't care about the knox flag because my warranty is already gone. So now my question is do any of the 4.3-4.4 ROMS work (Skynote, Ditto etc)? Can I flash TWRP with goo manager?
Thanks in advance!

If you do that don't turn ANYTHING else in gearbox on. Use Wanam to mod out with as its built for the note 2.

I decided to be the sacrificial lamb and I can confirm that yes definitively you can go from stock 4.3 OTA to a custom 4.3 ROM. I updated to 4.3 OTA (dumb) and just now successfully flashed Ditto 3.1.1.
1. Root 4.3 OTA
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash custom rom.
4. Run SuperSU
Some additional notes:
Did a dirty flash the first go around. The device didn't boot. Used the pull battery method to get into recovery (probably not necessary but oh well). Reflashed the rom this time using full wipe in AROMA (not in TWRP) and the device booted like a charm (even got an OTA Ditto 3.2 update bonus!).
Additionally AROMA didn't delete my data so I got to keep all my data from 4.3 OTA.
Last note my baseband is still MK6. I guess that's good because Ditto is still on MK5.

Lots of people have done this. What's so scary?

JediMasterX V2 runs great on 4.3 bootloader. If you took the OTA to get to 4.3 then you are ready to go with JediMasterX just download the zip and follow the instructions in the OP.

Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks everyone!!
Why it was scary is when I posted there was a lot going on. I hadn't seen where someone had taken the update, then flashed a ROM. I had seen a lot about the leak but not MK6. There were quite a few folks having trouble restoring backups, soft bricking etc. and it was due to the locked down boot loader being hostile to changes. I just didn't want a soft brick and have to use my Infuse till I could get it back up.
As far as what I have read so far, no one has been able to get back to MK6 after downgrading or roming and the backups of the stock MK6 aren't working. The reason I asked is because not much was being said about how ROMs were acting with the locked bootloader. No one was talking about steps to take if you have the MK6 update to ROM.
I have since flashed and I am running Sky Note Air Vaniila now and all is well. Just wanted to see what troubles if any others were having to help keep ducks in a row That way when folks want to ROM they know which ones work with the new Bootloader.
