Help me get from 4.0.4 to stock 4.2 please. I am rooted

Hey folks,
I rooted my GS3 months ago and recently tried downloading the OTA update. The update failed and now I am stuck at 4.0.4 and when I tried to update I have a grayed out continue update option. I don't mind manually flashing the update via usb but I want to stick with just a stock rom just rooted so I can remove the bloatware and use Titanium Backup. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Try getting a clue and posting in the right section moron.

Hey, he's just trying to fit in with the rest of the stuck-up XDA followers whom have a false sense of entitlement lol.
For the OP, 4.2 is not out just yet. I'm sure you meant 4.1.1 JellyBean. Take a look here, it's a great tutorial to get to the new update for the brand NEW stock GS3 Touchwiz Jellybean. It allows you to keep your root as well:

Now, wasn't that easier than just telling him that he is an idiot? Yes, it's the wrong section, but damn... some people.

Wow. Attitudes like that are certainly NOT what this or any forum are about. Who the hell do you think you are to think you are so damn entitled? Quick tip, GTFO. The guy doesn't know so cut him a little slack.

Also good advice. I'm sure there are a few stock based TW ROMs in the development section that the OP can flash. I wouldn't know as I'm an AOSP head. Anyway, the OTA update probably failed due to the fact that he's rooted and probably removed some bloat. My suggestion to the OP would be to flash any of the JB Touchwiz ROMs in the subforum I mention if that's what he wants. There's also tutorials floating around on how to do that if he's unsure of what to do.
Also, thread reported for movement.

Silly Humans. All you had to do is report that it was in the wrong section and one of us would move it out of Development and into the appropriate section. Oh wait, that is what 1 user did do.
I was going to clean this thread out but instead, I'll leave all the responses so that if anyone comes across this, they'll know what not to do and how not to respond to threads started in the wrong section.
Moved to Q&A

Thanks Wood. I have that magical mod power on other forums and miss it when I visit forums I don't have the power in. The responses some people give are just aggravating.

Thanks guys!
Sorry for the wrong forum. I tried posting in another forum but it said I was restricted because I had less than 10 posts. With your help I am successfully at 4.1. :good:

If you want to keep root i would recommend installing root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 from odin assuming you have a att phone. This is probably the easiest way.

Stock phone apk replacement.!

is there an app from the playstore to use for replacing the stock phone apk for another one.!?
thanks for helping xda guys.!!!:highfive:

Hey since this is a question, it was supposed to be in the q&a section.....
Wait what was the question again?
Because from what I read i dont think you can replace our stock app, I mean. U can flash roms cm9, 10, 10.1 or touchwiz and they both come with different phone apk. I know they have calling apps in the playstore but it wont replace the stock phone apk.
I still dont get you're question bro

Coolest Rom?

I tried to install latest illusion and liquid JB 2.4 but dont like them, internet doesnt work on liquid jb and there is also no market app on either one, not sure if its the ROMS or my installation.
Now can any one plese help me to find the rom that has best features (good bettery life could be a bonus).
thanks in advance.

Your install process is way off. There are support threads and q&a's and instructions in the OP of the thread... No such thing as a "coolest rom" try them for your self with proper install procedures before saying they're ugly or don't work.
T-Mobile SGS III

Coolest ROM?
That made me laugh.
You need to go through and pick which ROM or ROMs fit your needs. No one can pick a ROM for you, another members ideal ROM may not be your ideal ROM.
As for the installation process and having certain apps not being there or not working properly, you need to read the first post of the thread, also know as the OP. Reading it will let you know what to download and how to install/flash it through recovery.
Here's some advice that will save you in the future:
-read the first post/op of each thread
-have questions or problems with the ROM? Read the first and last 10 pages of the thread, if the problem isn't addressed or your question isn't answered, then politely ask for help.
-Google is your "friend", usually typing your issue followed by xda in the search bar and you'll find what your looking for

Ok thanks for your help guys. i'm not sure what i did wrong. here are the steps that did and one of you might be able to help me.
Downloaded odin and rooted and installed cwm through GalaxyS3RootUSCanada.zip (http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/)
Downloaded the Rom and installed it --> cleared cache etc.
Now is there a problem with installing CWM throuth this file?

Why didn't you just use the toolkit stickied in development? I know nothing about the software you linked to.

Maybe you should read the op before installing something.
Clearly says you have to flash gapps after flashing liquidsmooth. This is why you don't have the playstore.

Agree here. Never understood why folks would go to that site, then come here to find support for it.
Either root66 or cf-autoroot is the best and easiest imo.

Beats me but I won't give support for things sourced outside of XDA. Not just because XDA always has the best but because I know nothing about external offerings.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Khanbaba59, there is no "cool rom" so to speak. You have to read up on which is best for you, then try them. Be sure to READ the OP on installation process to avoid anything going wrong.
As your questions have been answered, I will close this now as it will cause confusion and bickering about roms.

Help!!!!

Are you on JB/KK bootloader? What rom are you running now? What Kernel are you running?
Answer to your question is, if you are on JB, last page of the dev forum has the stock MI7 rom. If you are on KK the stock NB4 rom is there on the second page.
Please don't start a question thread with the title HELP. It gives no insight into what your problem may be and most of us won't look at these threads because they are usually repeat questions. Thanks

sorry

[Q] Best root and Custom Rom for GS4 ?

Hi after all the google bs that we get these days I am really thinking of rooting my Samsung Galaxy S4 for T-Mobile.
Firstly:
What is the easiest way ? Do I have to run it through Odin ?
Secondly:
Which Custom Rom would you guys recommend for Galaxy S4 T-Mobile ?
I have read and researched a little when it comes to potential answers but I just wanted to obtain an expert advice. And I know it's a right place.
Please help any advice will greatly appreciated.
And "step by step instructions" to both topics would just make my day. Thanks in advance. Loyal follower.

Chainfire's autoroot gets the job done. There is also saferoot.
Insane Kit Kat is my ROM recommendation.

I can't seem to find Insane Kit Kat as a ROM anywhere. I was thinking about cyanogen, wanamlite maybe.
Important:
Also can you let me know if once I root my phone I will be able to make my SD card changes ? For Example using SD fix app to save media on it ?

@Danvdh 's 4.4.2 Kitkat GPE is great. check my sig for details. I've used it as DD since I installed it, and have had no issues.
It is very barebones, but I (personally) used to love the look of TW, then I had a Moto, and Blur is very much stock Android UI, and tho it's not as "pretty" at first, it's very user friendly and direct. And with the add'l installs (Xposed & GBox), there's nothing I can't change if I want.
Cheers,

Thanks for the info. But do you think that after just rooting my phone I would have the full access to move any media to SD CARD ? No custom ROM. Just original stock.

Rooting won't change access for anything that doesn't use root. Once rooted, check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684188 for the SD fix (app also available on Google Play). This is not needed on most custom ROMs.

XDA does not permit "Best rom" or "best anything else" threads. All these do is end up devolving into an argument between various rom supporters who all think theirs is the best.
On XDA you are expected to do your own research. Read the ROM threads, learn which have the features you like. Try a few out and determine which is the best for YOU. ONly YOU can decide what the best rom is FOR YOU.
There is not definitive BEST answer. The perfect ROM for you might be the worst possible option for me. It all depends on use and personal preferences.

^^^This. Also questions belong in the Q&A section not in General.
Moved and closed.
Have a great day!
