I have searched multiple times and can find many thread on this subject but I am lost.
I have a SIII SGH-I747M (Bell). It is rooted with CWM 6.0.3.6. I was getting Status 7 error when attempting to put Cyanogen MOD 10.1. I attempted to update the CWM and found about that the available systems had been S3 metrPC. I am not sure what I should do now and am completely lost. I tried to install a flashable CWM but was getting the same Status 7 Error. I am not sure if I should remove CWM (not sure how to) and install Team Win Recovery project. any help would be appreciated?

I had the same problem and spent a good amount of time this weekend troubleshooting.

You basically need to update your phone's bootloader. There are a lot of threads about this subject if you dig.
Unlocking, rooting and flashing Custom recovery & custom ROM (S III SGH-I747M)
After few days of working on this project I can summarize what I have done, though a few issues remained for me. I summarize them here so one can follow.
This is a for a Samsung S III - SGH-I747(M). I believe one can follow through by using the appropriate files for his/her own device. Make sure to read the original thread thoroughly (even multiple time)
THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MIGHT DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1- Back up your system according to STEP 1 on this post.
2- Follow the post by OWL74 to unlock your device. This worked only on Jelly bean 4.1.1 so I need to flash Stock ROM 4.1.1 by ODIN. I found the appropriate stock ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/. You can follow Step "3" and "4" on post to do that. If you have a different stock recovery (like CWM or TWRP) start from step "2". Make sure to wipe your device according to STEP 5A on this post before flashing a ROM.
3- Root your device according to STEP 2 on this post.
4- I had used CWM on my SII device but this time it messed up my SIII SGH-I747 becuase there was no update for that particular device.
Instead I used TWRP. I browsed their website and used the closes match to my device which was galaxy SIII - AT&T (I have Samsung Galaxy SIII - from Bell.) and used the ODIN flashable .tar file.
5- Follow STEP 5A, STEP 5B to flash your ROM. I had problem flashing Cyanogen MOD so I chose AOKP and it went smoothly.
Many Thanks go to xBeerdroiDx, doovd, owl74, meanhacker, mrRobinson, <:GeeK:>. Their detailed explanation was very helpful.

Thank you. I followed a few other threads (summarized above). I managed to get AOKP installed but I still have some other problem getting Cyanogen MOD flashing. At this time I will stick with AOKP.

Hello, I tried to post this in the developer forum but I am new so not allowed. I currently have a Galaxy S2 White t989 from t-mobile. Two days ago I upgraded my phone to official ICS via kies, I was already on Stock GB before and ICS made me phone practically unusable. I read a thread with directions on how to flash to stock from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359
I followed those procedures to a t and now when my phone boots I can't get it past touch "android" to begin and a million things begin to "force close..g,apps,etc) Is there something I am missing? Just got this phone and I hope I haven't forever messed it up. If anyone has a link to a thread already solving the same issue...please let me know. I am a newbie with flashing so please have patience.
factory reset data
Thanks for your reply, but how would I go about doing this...I can't get pass the set-up screen to access the phone features. Is there another method to performing this.
Happened to me also, what I read was install clockwork recovery via ODIN (look for the thread in the other sections). Then you'll need to wipe cache and dalvic cache. Then you'll be able to continue to set up your phone.
OK great, will try it out, please wish me luck everyone. Love my s2, would be terrible if it is unusable.
Ok, so I installed clockwork recovery and still having the same issues...how I didn't anything with the recovery prompting to clear those caches?
yay!! back on stock and everything is working great..much thanks!!
Hello
I'm having the same issue that was stated above. I used the SGSII toolkit to do the stock rom flash and that is how I got to this point. I just wanted to know if using the process shown here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858435 ? I skipped number 1 since it says it is optional. I now cannot find the "T989UVLH1.tar.md5" and all I can find is a file named "T989UVLH1_T989TMBLH1_T989UVLH1_HOME.tar.md5". Am I supposed to rename this one? Thank you very much.
edit.
I used the file T989UVLH1_T989TMBLH1_T989UVLH1_HOME.tar.md5 in odin>PDA>start. Then had an com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly problem. Used the toolkit to do a factory reset and everything is fine now. I'll have to do a little more research before I try rooting again, gave me too many headaches.
Hello there, I've tried searching before starting this thread, but as of now, I'm panicked already, that I might have killed my GNex.
My GNex is unrooted, and is of the yakjuxw variant. I just received the OTA update to 4.2.1 today, but immediately regretted my decision - as it was noticeably laggier and buggier compared to my previous version - 4.1.1. I searched on how to downgrade it to 4.1.1 / 4.1.2, and I found several threads mentioning doing it manually (the SDK method), but being a total noob on these, I decided to go for the Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit.
I backed up my files, unlocked the bootloader, and rooted my phone using the toolkit (my phone could still enter the homescreen in this step), and proceeded to flash the IMGs with the factory image from Google, but after that, my phone gets stuck at the Nexus's flashing "x" screen, never entering the homescreen. And, I did not make a Nandroid backup prior to flashing it (sigh). Is there still hope for my GNex?
What I plan to do now is to install Odin, download this Stock-Unroot Jellybean thing, then restore it to stock following this thread, then maybe go for the SDK method this time. Are there any other methods for the situation I'm in? E.g. use Odin to flash it to 4.1.2 (the version I want) straight?
I also found this Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, should I use it instead?
Please help, I'm really confused and panicked . I'm downloading the required stuff currently, with a very slow internet speed, so I'll check this thread tomorrow morning.
download the "wugfresh toolkit", and choose the option "soft bricked" , and flash another rom, the program is very easy to use. your phone is probably ok.
Thank you, thank you so much! I tried that just now, but it said that the Fastboot couldn't work or something, that's why I freaked out. Tried again and yeah, it works. Thank you so much!
Thread can be closed, sorry for spamming, moderators.
Stop trying to use a crutch like the toolkit. Take 5 minutes and follow the stickies on setting up ADB and fastboot so you can do if correctly yourself.
The lowest risk is to follow this post: Link
It will restore factory image. No matter if it's rooted or not!
It's easy and you don't need to setup Android SDK or something.

Hi everybody,
I'm relatively new to ROMs and I think I've made a mistake. I rooted my phone with CASUAL (because I'm a noob like that), and after about of week of playing around with my new features I decided to try and get a new ROM, CyanogenMod 10.1. I followed a video guide on youtube called "How to install CyanogenMod 10.1 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on the Samsung Galaxy S III/3" (can't post links) and used GooManager to flash the ROM over. The phone rebooted and it took me to a teamwin loading screen followed by a menu with 8 options. I thought it was weird, as it wasn't in the video, but one of the options was "install" so I clicked that, it showed the .zip for the ROM so I hit "flash". It rebooted again now and now continuously displays the spinning loading screen for CyanogenMod. I remember reading something something about CM 10 not working with ICS bootloaders, but all of the guides I read about flashing CM made no mention of it, so I didn't think much of it. Is this my problem?
I made a ROM backup with CWM Recovery, app and data backups with Titanium root, and even backed up my EFS folder, so I'm not worried about any data loss involved in a factory wipe or reset, but I need help getting there. I've read things about a USB jig, is this what I need to do? If so, , do I just need to make/buy and plug in the jig? What do I do afterwards?
Any and all help will be appreciated

If it does anything it isn't a hard brick. Never use rom manager or goo manager to flash something. That is a sure fire way to kill your phone.
If it was an out of date boot loader it wouldn't have flashed.
By the sounds of if your bootloop is from not wiping.

Everything you need to know is there. Pay close attention to step 5a it's proper wiping for twrp. Re wipe, re flash and you'll be fine. Don't forget to flash the gappps. Those videos are good and bad. Especially if you have no idea what you're doing it's a real fast way to a brick.

Hey all,
I have read all over the place but I honestly get more confused the more I read. I wanted to switch to another OS since my phone was starting to become bogged down (too many pictures, videos, old files, etc etc etc; My phone is my work tool since I'm a field sales engineer)
So I went ahead and rooted it with ODIN 3 v1.85 and I317-UCUBMK6.tar.md5. I also installed TWRP although I have no clue which version it is. I suppose it's the latest one. My bootloader is 4.3 (I think; I go to About Device and I see the android version 4.3)
I always do the full swipe and a NANDROID back up. However, when I flash a custom ROM, I always end up stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen. It won't go.
I have tried to install the following ROM's:
DN3 - Always says "Failed" when I try to flash, even when following instructions of reboot recovery and flash again.
JEDI X 20 - Go through the entire aroma installer - it installs - asks for reboot - when rebooting, stuck as Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen
and it pretty much happens with all of them. I have decided to back to stock (because I was a retard and accidentally deleted my NANDROID backup) and now I find my WIFI is broken.
I pretty sure this has all been discussed in various threads but I rather bring it all into one so that all that are having the same issue as me (I read a lot of people complaining about this issue with very scattered replies) can have a single thread that addresses how to fix this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I suppose you have an AT&T Note 2 so this section is wrong. Here is for N710X.
Look into THIS forum.

Try this method flash the odin version and update the bootloader ne5 and you should be fine

Thanks man. That post brought a lot to light. So I have the MK6 firmware but the LJ2 bootloader. I'll try doing what Zen Arcade says there but unfortunately I cant download his files. The website he's hosting the files from has severe lag and the files stop downloading.
I'll get back to you on how this goes once I'm able to download them.
