[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 Trouble - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Dear Members,
First of all I would like to say that I am a fan of all you developers out there .. you guys Rock !
So here is the thing, I am facing a huge problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 in trying every damn custom rom out there.
I successfully ROOT & Installed Custom Recovery on it
then i tried installing Cyanogenmod rom on it. (it didn't worked) got Status 7 error
I installed another custom rom ( same error )
I tried to find solution for Status 7 Error and found many resources on XDA so I applied that to remove status 7 error ... well nothing work still it didn't installed rom gave error of some media+lost or something (don't remember)
then I tried AOKP rom and it worked ... it got installed and things were fine but the Camera app was not working it was just a total pain.
I downloaded Cyanogenmod for SGH-I747 again thought I have installed this custom AOKP rom now it should work .. but damn same thing same error no issue resolved.
So I downloaded the SGH-I747 Stock ROM and Installed it and it worked like a charm again... but hated that touchwiz crap so after few days amazing developers at XDA / Cyanogenmod cameup with Cyanogenmod Installer (One in all installer app for custom cyanogenmod)
So happily I plugged in my SGH-i747 after installing the Cyanogenmod Installer on Android and PC
the phone got detected
Cyanogenmod Installer (PC) started downloading recovery / rom everything for it. Once it was all downloaded it asked me that its going to flash the phone I said fine proceed ... so suddenly I saw Cyanogenmod Logo on phone I was super excited that now its gonna work .. but then suddenly I got this error

}
This symbol disappeared on the screen and then the this came up
After that it said that it has finished installing cyanogenmod but when I started the phone it was the same stock rom which I installed before and cyanogenmod did nothing to it .
AOKP works and nothing else does as in a custom ROM ...
I am so fed up with this now ... It would be great if someone could just help me out here ... I am just dying over here ...
Best Regards,
Adnan

Since I'm assuming by custom roms you mostly mean cm based aosp roms, have you update your bootloader yet? If not here's how:

But I don't want AOSP / CM based rom I just want Cyanogen ROM which is for d2att to work on my mobile
I'm sorry I am a bit of a N00b in detailed stuff

i have the exact same phone (on at&t) and have been going through the same scenarios. i was for sure cyanogen installer was going to work, but after it was all done im still running the same oem roms.

i highly recommend using AOKP... it comes with Faux kernel baked in.. great combination... amazing devs and support... here is the link...

hi guys, thanks for your suggestions.. Now, I just successfully installed AOKP. However, my big problem is that my camera didn't save images/videos.. I am now on the panic mode.

Are you using stock camera? Also, what kernel are you using?

3.0.8-gaaa2611. that's my kernel version. I haven't install Kernel updates here. What do you mean by stock camera? <pardon for the noob question> My phone is already rooted/unlocked.
What were your instructions for rooting? (Assuming you weren't rooted before you posted this)
Your root method may have wiped everything

No, i'm using gallimaufry. I'm surprised too, I didn't expect such a high score
Check my sig to make sure you're installing the roms correctly.
Post two will detail it.
A "stock" camera is the camera that comes pre-installed. Not one from the play store.
I'm on AOKP, and can confirm no such issue.
I think my camera started malfunctioning <didn't save images/videos> when I wipe data due to I forgot my screen lock pattern <yes, I forgot! WTH>. Then, I flash AOKP b29 to see if it will solved my dilemma but it didn't. Last resort was, flash original stock ROM from Google website. Now, I am back to stock ROM.
@Jubakuba: I follow your procedure before, but when I tried to re-install Titanium Backup <free> to restore apps, it didn't succeed and prompts error which is something like code:32.

recovery unable to flash zip files

I recently got a Samsung Epic 4G Touch and immediately flashed the system to ICS, using SFHub's stock rooted FF18.
Phone works great with that rom. But I was trying to apply Kobridge's tweak pack and discovered that recovery is not letting me install .zip files.
I reboot into recovery fine, and can choose "apply update from sd card .zip" fine. I can navigate to the file fine. When I select it though, it immediately switches to an android bot lying down, with its hood open and a red triangle above it.
I then have to pull the battery to re-boot the phone. It boots into normal startup fine, but the tweak has not been applied.
I tried several versions, and other zips, and it doesn't seem to want to let me install anything that way.
Ideas? I'd rather not have to put CWM on the phone or a different rom on the phone just yet.
That is because the install update zips are for official sprint/Samsung upgrades. To flash those you need CWM.

You're going to need CWM or another custom recovery to flash anything on your phone
Now I feel like an idiot. I thought the version I got had a working recovery in it, but you're right - it didn't.
I installed Agat's and it's working fine now.
Thanks for the help!
No problem. Your not an idiot. It's alittle confusing sometimes.

No problem and I agree. You're not an idiot. It's also better to ask questions than it is to end up with a very expensive paperweight because you tried to figure things out on your own like some of us have done.

This is the E4GT forum. You need to head over to the S4 forum, specifically the OP for Hyperdrive.

Even though you're in the wrong forum... It sounds like a bad download, try redownloading the ROM.

[GUIDE] 4.1.1 How to get you device running any ATT Stock rom without any problems

ok, most of you might think what is this good for, i like to have the arabic language on a samsung rom, not a cyangenmod rom or anything like that ,
this is also good for many languages. SCREENSHOTS OF LANGUAGES BELOW, and its good for you people who have switched from att to t-mobile, and want better service,
i live in iraq. so i dont use either, so lets start on how this works , we will be using I747UCDLK3 rom for this tutorial, because its the only rom i have tested

THINGS YOU WILL NEED
A ROOTED T-MOBILE T999
MOBILE ODIN PRO
THE I747UCDLK3 ATT STOCK PREROOTED ROM
AND THE UVLJA MODEM FOR T-MOBILE
Language Enabler by Wanam
How to
step 1: move the att rom to the internal sd card
step 2: open mobile odin, and download needed files from the app. then choose "open file" choose the rom tar.
step 3: press flash firmware then and all wipes
step 4: after it boots up you will have no imei, not to worry, open mobile odin and this time choose "OTA / Update zip" and choose our downloaded modem, then flash with no wipes
step 5: then after it boots up install Language Enabler, and press menu and choose save after granting root rights
step 6: enjoy
​
This is cool. But why not just flashing any att rom and just changed the build.prop from d2att to d2tmo? I have done it multiple times with no issues and flashed em out of the box

AT&T Galaxy S3 is the same 99% hardware than the T-Mobile Galaxy S3. Same as the Sprint and Verizon S3's.
Porting CDMA Galaxy s3 needs to do more work other wise you will have bugs but it will still boot.
But its been done several times and like I said I have flash several TW roms to my T-Mobile S3 out of the box with no problems at all.
i concur.... but thanks for sharing.
anytime
Besides bro, flashing a rom doesn't change ur modem, unless it's included in the rom zip and devs don't do that unless it's a firmware update for that particular carrier and comes with it. Most separate rom from modem even then..but thanks for trying to contribute to us all

No recovery on aokp rom

I'm using the aokp mildstone 5 rom and it doesn't have a custom recovery. I tried flashing stock cmw5,ff18,stock rogue,el26,stock twrp. Every one that I flashed on it doesn't work when I go to reboot sys it won't reboot the rom or it will do the android is updating apps but when it finishes it just freezes.Also it won't run google play services or play store they both force close had to download the apps that I needed manually from dev-host.I like this rom and want to back it up but no recovery works and it sucks not being able to use play store
Wow that's an old version of AOKP. I would flash EL29 directboot kernel via Odin. Then flash this more recent version of AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45539481&postcount=223

Yeah I know I'm the one that has the phone that won't flash jelly bean roms all of a sudden..I made a thread about it. Anyways I can only use ics or gb roms. Is that a ics or gb rom.
Bump
You're flashing TouchWiz recoveries, that's why it won't work. Flash an ICS AOSP kernel.

OK so I looked over at rwilco12. Which one should I use,aokp fe22 one click or tar. Aosp ff02 tar, times infinity twrp repack..there's a few different ones. Can I use mobile Odin or should I use my PC.
The only ics aokp recovery I see over there is times infinity.I tried chris41,calkulin, rogue,agat63..these wouldn'twork and I used my PC
I use the recovery kernels right ?

You don't have to bump, somebody will answer you when they get on.
OK thx

I saw a couple on @rwilco's site that said AOKP in the title (I would try those first), however I never used any ICS AOSP ROMs on this device as it had 4.2.2 when I moved over.
Try to flash Chris41g CWM6 recovery. (I'd post a link but, I don't have over 10 posts.) Should be located in @rwilco's site under CM9 kernels. It probably won't boot but you will have a recovery that should be able to flash any AOSP JB ROM.

You did flash chris41g's recovery right?

Yes. Jb roms just boot loop as usual. And my aokp milestone 5 wouldn't reboot.
Had to get rid of the aokp rom the system app for making and receiving phone calls started to force close and I had no signal at all. I'm now using an aosp ics rom that has a team win recovery on it but still can'tget play srore to work

What about Google Apps. I flashed one GAAPS zip and was able to install Google Apps. Problem is when i reboot device, it reboot at least 3 times to get back to ROM.
Any idea about the issue.
Testing it as daily driver, please share your experience about the work of maxritz.

yes , i have also faced the issue of booting.what i feel is ...it is due to xposed framework...coz when i uninstall the xposed....the rom is running fine and smooth....
yes it is based on 4.2 version but ....i can say, this is the best rom ...and it can also be more better if some bugs will be removed.
Some improvements which i have done in my phone is
-volume is much loud,i had reduced it through engineer mode.
-xposed installed but few modules are installed...there is no use of gravitybox.
-flashed jb gapps.
-copied some apps from different rom like calender,calculator,music,email etc.
I tried flashing this ROM, no issues, but from the first boot was all in Chinese. Is there something we can do about it, make it english? Screenshots would help.
Running LeWa OS and not very happy with it. I might flash the one with Hive as I need more RAM available on my phone. Thanks in advance
