Ok I'm really irritated right about now. I am unable to flash any custom ROMS on my phone. Actually let me rephrase, I can flash them but many things do not work. I have tried Wicked, FreeGS3 and CapROM. They all have the same issues. Let me explain.
Once the ROM is booted I get odd string of numbers and TXT in the status bar, (goes away, think nothing of it)
Root not avail/accessible by root apps.
Home button does not work
Play store missing
standard Google login prompt at first boot is missing, it never asks me to login
Using CWM 5.8.4.5 Touch Recovery
TMO GS3 Rooted with Odin no trip method
I don't get it. I am i just stuck using stock ROM? If anyone can help I would love you forever.
are you clearing /cache and dalvik-cache before you reboot to the custom rom?

If you mean clearing those after the install (in recovery completes) then no. Basically after the install I just reboot. Obviously clear and reset everything before I install though.

Really? A recovery can cause these kinds of issues. Haven't heard of that before. Any other thoughts? What recovery are you using?
Try TWRP 2.2.1.1

Yeah I've heard touch recovery has its problems so I don't use it. Try using the recovery rom manager gives you.

I use TWRP and have no problems.
Do a Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions.
If that doesn't work, flash stock and reroot and try again.
I use touch recovery 5.8.4.7 and flashed it with adb. I've flashed almost everything. Cyanogenmod and every other ROM. NEVER had a problem with an instalation. Or even lost IMEI. I think people specifically aren't reading over OP's and figuring out what's safest for their devices and end up with these kind of results. Just my input.

Use mskips tool for our phones. It does everything you can image and then some. I have been using his tools since the HD2 and no issues to date.
The odd string of numbers that flashes upon boot in the status bar sounds like it's just identifying your external sd card. Totally normal.
OK so nothing worked. TWRP did the same thing. Tried diff ROM, same thing. I flashed back to 100% stock, unrooted ROM. Wiped the phone in the standard Android recovery. Then I rooted again, installed TWRP and flashed my ROM of choice and voila. Everything works. Problem solved. Thanks all for the inputs.
Hello guys,
It's my first question to the forum. I hope you can give me a clue resolve this problem.
I bought a Note 2 SGH i317 some days ago.
It was my first root but with your trheads everything was ok (for some days).
I tried JediX, Custom Rom 4.2.5 and some other.
But after tried some custom roms, I noted that when I flash any rom the phone stucks on Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and I have to pull out the battery to turn off the phone.
I tried with many others roms and all did the same.
Later I realized that the flash process was very fast compared to the first ones, so I guess the flash proccess fails in some instance.
I returned to stock rom and root it again with same results.
I tried with CVM and TWRP.
I can restore some nandroid backups to get the phone working, but can't flash any rom now!
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Yes. I did every step.
Sometimes I wipe both before and after flashing rom.
In some cases I format /system also.
I'm thinking in format some special partition/folder, but I don't know where to start or if it will works...

Not sure what went wrong. I would search through the forums for anything similar to the issue that you're having. If all else fails I'd flash the stock firmware via Odin. Good luck!

If flashing stock rom doesn't help, your internal memory might be corrupted, and might need to format it through recovery.
It's not a sure thing but it's another option to troubleshoot your problem. If you're gonna try that, make sure to backup all your stuff

I think that something like that is the real problem.
Must I format /storage/sdcard0 or format everything except my external card?
By the way, how can the internal memory becames corrupt?

It's hard to say what made it corrupt (if at all, remember, this is only an assumption). Could've been an app that caused it, could've been flashing a custom rom, and something went wrong during the flashing process.
If you're using twrp (which i highly suggest you do), in the 'wipe' menu there's an option to wipe internal sd. DON'T FORGET! before you do this make a nandroid backup and keep that backup on your external sd, or on your computer. Also, backup all your stuff, like pictures, music, etc.

The only thanks you could give is just hitting the thanks button on my answers to you. But you don't really have to, it's entirely up to you. If you think my responses are helpful to you, then by all means ... In order to close a thread you could ask a moderator to do so. I'm not sure you're obligated to do so.
Btw, if cwm gives you an md5 error, could be most likely because you changed the name cwm has originally assigned to that backup. To solve this, just change it to what it was. If you didn't change the backup name, you could try going into advanced menu in cwm and toggle signature check to disable

Thank you for your help.

I just got my phone and had to do alot of reading on how to just root it...I couldnt stop there.. So I picked the ROM I liked the best.. It was the Peoples Choice ROM.... I downloaded it and installed in via CWM... It worked great for about 2 days.. Even wifi tether... Then it started to freeze and almost like it was rebooting... But the only thing that happened was the lights on the bottom would stay on... Ive had to do about 4 clean installs and everytime it freezes... Im not saying the ROM is bad.. But maybe I didnt do something right... Im new to this phone and all these different kernals, Roms etc...
All I did was d/l put on the phone via usb cable, chose a kernal during setup and still the same problem... I had to flash a stock rooted ROM because I thought I did a backup in CWM but I guess I didnt...
Please help... I dont know what I did or need to correctly do to get this ROM to work....
Are you sure the download wasn't bad? Try downloading it again and then check the md5sum to make sure, bad downloads happen more often than you'd think
Noob question... How do I check the md5sum?
On your computer, or on your phone me in terminal emulator (download md5sum for windows binary if you're doing it on your computer):
Code:
cd path/to/download/folder
md5sum fileNameHere.zip

I'm a bit stumped, but maybe you could try using TWRP to flash the Roms. I'd recommend using version 2.4.1.0 in Naddict's thread, as version 2.4.4.0 doesn't seem to work as well for some people. You'll have to redo your backups, as TWRP and CWM use different methods for making nandroids, so your CWM ones won't work on TWRP.

The thread I posted you to has the various TWRP and CWM versions which are flashable from within the recoveries themselves. All you have to do is go into CWM and flash the TWRP zip in the thread.
I don't think your download was bad or the md5 check was bad. I suspect since you said it worked well for several days that at some point you downloaded a bad app or something corrupted some data. I would imagine a wipe of cache and dalvik and fixing permissions would have been the first thing you should have done before reflashing or anything else. Oh well water under the bridge now. What kernel did you choose during your installation?
Please try flashing the rom again, make sure you do factory reset, wipe dalvik and wipe cache and do a clean install. If you have any problems or questions go to the thread itself you will find that all of us are very helpful and will welcome you to The People

I wouldn't bother with TWRP just yet CWM is just fine. Try installing on a clean flash. Use the Ktoonsez kernel. And let us know here. I will keep following this thread until you can get to the main thread.

...I just noticed when I went to load the rom onto my sdcard... My internal said 11gb used... No way have I use that much.. So I formatted everything except my sd card...
I just loaded the rom using the Ktoonez kernal...The new rom booted up just fine so far...
edit
Sorry didnt read your last replay before I installed TWRP...
Something else I just noticed.. It automatically downloading apps from the market that I previously had...Is that something new?
When you set up the phone (log into Google, etc.), if you choose "backup my account to this phone" it'll automatically download all of your apps that you previously had.

Yes, i'm 100% sure. I downloaded CWM as my root. Then on my computer i downloaded gapps from the link given at http://phonerebel.com/how-to-instal...alaxy-s3-4-2-1-sprintattt-mobileverizon-siii/
The cyanogenmod link didn't work for me on that website so i looked through the forums and found this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778270
After i read it, i followed this link http://get.cm/?device=d2att and clicked the one at the top to download to my computer. But it didn't work. So i visited the forum on my phone and downloaded straight to my phone. I made a folder on my SD called CyanogenMod, put the both of the files in there. Then i powered down my device, and activated recovery mode. I selected install zip twice, installing both files, then hit reboot. Then the CyanogenMod logo pops up, and now hasn't gone away.

Ah sounds like a soft brick and nothing to get to worried about. If you can get back into recovery then I suggest you reflash the ROM and the gapps. Now you are linking posts to two different versions of CyanogenMOD. 10.1 is for android 4.2.2 and 10 is 4.1.2. Make sure you download Gapps for 4.2.2 and cyanogenmod 10.1.

If you really want to be careful just download 10.1 and the Gapps for 4.2.2 put those on your SD card in that same folder (delete old ones of course) and reflash again.
Flashing a ROM for i747 or d2att even if it s bad download won't do any permanent damage any way.
You will be good to go. Just so you know is nearly impossible to hard brick the galaxy s3 unless you flash a international ROM. Anything listed in this device specific forum won't hurt your device.
Wipe cache, davlik cache (located in advanced), factory reset, and format system if you like but its not necessary. After first successful boot, reboot into recovery and make a backup.
P.S. Make sure you hit thanks to the guys who helped you earlier in the post as well

Do you have an external card ?
If not try this: Just flash the ROM and not the gapps. You wont have google apps but your phone will boot and then you can download the gapps on your phone. It is doesn't boot you need a sd card or flahs with odin back to stock. Did you make a backup of your stock ROM before you flashed CM 10 ?

If you have the Play Store, then it flashed the Gapps.
I was wondering how in the hell do i get updated to all the new updates and such.
Currently i'm rooted with Twrp 2.3.1.0, i used the toolkit back some time ago and game me the option to basically install custom roms and such but never did anything except for a kernel.
So my question is Im still on LJC, 4.1.1, and i'm sick of the pop ups for the install update, and i know its going to fail so i'd figure can i just install a custom rom and it will take care of all that crap like for instance just go ahead and start fresh and install CyanogenMod?

That could be an option if you're looking to move over to AOSP but if you wanted to stick with TW you could always just flash a ROM based off stock 4.1.2, MA7 or MC2.

Okay Well i wiped(factory reset under TWRP 2.5) then did advanced wipe and chose system option; then wiped. Then i had flashed CM10 then after flashed GApps, rebooted and bam into bootloop, and as i typing this i 'm doing the avatar rom and same thing bootloop. also i should mention it skips the md5 check and says there is no md5 file.
Just tried rootbox same thing gets as far as the boot ani then bam sits there

When you say CM 10 I'm assuming you're referring to CM 10.1? If so make sure your using the correct gapps and if you still face issues I suggest redownloading the ROM and gapps through Goomanager, make sure the MD5 match up, and then fully wipe and flash again. Keep me updated.

Ok I see what you're doing. My brother had a similar problem and there seems to be something wrong with the kernel script not running through properly and to fix this you will need to perform a factory reset as the OP instructs BUT I would try it twice. Once before the flash and another after the flash. Try it and if that doesn't work try the same steps with a 3rd party kernel. Flashing a kernel after the ROM is not recommended but if it helps to boot up the phone then you'll know it was the stock kernel. Let me know

No AOSP ROMs at all? I would go back to complete stock, update to MA7 or MC2 then reroot and try flashing again.

Wipe 3X. Data, System, cache, Dalvik.
Anything less and you're bound to get problems.

Does it bootloop...or have you just been impatient? 1st boots of a new ROM can take a while.
Presuming it is stuck at boot splash...either an unstable build, or a corrupt download are possible. Verify the MD5 of your downloads.

did you watch my video? it was sitting for 5 minutes,on the cyanogenmod boot animation.
i just restored and back on ljc perfectly fine. but i guess my phone does not like flashing as i said and in the video it hangs and skips the md5 check
okay i used Toolkit 4.1.0 and chose to flash to stock and it didnt work because i still have root and still on ljc, and same setup as before, i cant update to ma7, however i chose to install stock recovery, but i know if i do update it will fail.
EDIT: **** it wont even reboot to install the update. says rebooting now and nothing. F THIS PHONE.
I CANT EVEN UNROOT

Every device handles things differently, including first boot up times. It can take anywhere from 5-10min. So don't worry about how short Josh's boot up time was in his video. I highly suggest you:
1) Wipe system, data, cache/dalvik 3x
2) flash ROM and Gapps
3) Go back and perform a "factory reset" 3x
4) Reboot
5) Let phone sit at most 15min.
Just do this one final time exactly as instructed and assuming you've tried earlier nighties, if it doesn't boot up by 15 min then you'll know it's the phone and NOT you.
