First if this in the wrong please move. I figured this would be decent spot to post.
Okay so I have the SPH-l710 S3. I was runing 4.1.2 and decided to root my phone. Succesfuly did so. Now about a week after this I found out about the OTA 4.3 update. I had no option to install and learned that I had to be Untrooted to recieve the update. Could not find a stock rom and decided to give up since i am new to this and was unsure if may brick my phone.
I discovered SLim 4.3. I found a build 2 rom wich ran 4.3. This rom can be found at slimroms.net. SO I download it move to phone and reboot in recovery. Backed my stuff and factory reset my phone,. After doing so my phone was stuck on boot.The factory rest not only removed everything including apps and formatting the sd. COuldnt figure out why untill i went back to recovery and found my phone wiped everything. And I mean everything. I removed my sd card ,inserted it in my computer and moved the new rom over. Rebooted again and flashed the rom. My phone booted and was set up. I come to find that interface after this was changed from the stock s3 interface. Looks more like nexus or something. Is this Suppose to happen and why?
The big isuue and question is that my phone is randomly rebooting. I have extremely poor service( I have tried multiple modems And currently using a MK3 modem .not to mentiuon no original app sthat I had once before such as the stock Music app. So as far at that is concered is ther way to restore my phone back to the day I bought it? Or A rom of some sort to fix the uissue. Maybe a patch? Maybe a better 4.3 rom to try. By all means I love my new interface and what I can do to customize it. But these bugs among several other minor issues is bothing me.
Here ar my phone stats as of now:
Android 4.3.1
Baseband: L710VPUVMK3
Kernell: 3.4.66 Cyanogen mod-gcc086c4
Cpu: ARMv7 Proccessor 4(v7)
SLim Version: 4.3 build 2
Build number SLim_d2spr-userbug Jls361 1347 test keys
SElinux: Permssive(Whats this?)

im using twrp first i tried to factory reset, caches that didnt work i formated internal storage same problem everything works great untill i restart the phone then wont go past boot screen. like its not reading the internal drive even did fix permisions and wiped caches after install. Also i used the updated su to flash after still problems, beyond me no problems with older ones or tw just the 4.3 roms
I, also, am having this very same issue. I'm honestly surprised that noone else seems to have run across this issue.
Installing is never an issue, running is never a problem, but if I ever reboot, if a ROM reboots itself, I'm left stuck at the GalaxyS4 splash screen, and the only way out it to Wipe everything and reinstall.
I see youre posting from an S3, I am using an AT&T S4.
Clearly, the issue is related to 4.3...
I had that problem with an unofficial build. But that was a bad download. Do you have new phones? The mount points are different on the newer sg3's. There's a thread with a fix for that
i had that problem. for some reason it locks your recovery and internal storage. you have to wipe it and install a rom via odin to work again. thats why im staying away from 4.3
i got my phone last december so its not real new, guess Ill just stay away from 4.3 roms. my recovery never got locked it just wont boot back up after restart. thanks for all the ideas
Help, I brokeded my phone trying to use this ROM!
I recently tried to flash the 4.3 Stock MOD ROM to my ATT S3. It wasn't smooth for me so I Nandroided back to 4.1.1. and now my camera does not work and I get an error that says "Cant connect to the Camera" or "Camera failed" depending if I use the Jelly Bean Camera or the Samsung camera.
No fault of the ROM I’m sure but I need help figuring out what I’ve done wrong. I switched back to my Nandroid backup of 4.1.1 Stock because 4.3 was just NO smooth for me. Also I can’t stand regular keyboard, I need my Samsung Note 2 keyboard!
4.3 had a lot of laggy-ness and random crashing. I flashed the Modem, ROM and Kernel in the order with the steps listed per the OP.
When I decided to go back to my backup, I flashed the DLK3 Stock Modem, then flashed back to my backup and wipe the various caches.
Everything about my backup works BUT my camera. I also noticed I can’t use the flashlight option on my 4.1.1 ROM now. Anything related to the camera is broken.
I’ve tried killing and clearing the camera process per several articles I found on Google and here on XDA without luck. Everything suggested it was a hardware issue at that point and to warranty the phone. I deiced to try 4.3 one more time and sure enough, my camera works when flash back to Anroid 4.3 ROM.
I’m stumped.
Any thoughts sort of reinstalling 4.1.1 from scratch?

You have to have the bootloaders for 4.1.1 for the camera to work in 4.1.1. This happened to me a while back with 4.1.2. There's a thread here somewhere where you can download the correct bootloaders and flash with ODIN.
EDIT: Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310
You need the DLK3 bootloaders (well, that is if you have the AT&T gs3) for the camera to work.

YOU ROCK! You have been thanked.
That completely fixed the issue. I didn't realize the bootloader changed.OK thanks again you saved me a lot of hassle and trouble shooting.
Wow it has been a long 24 hours. I want to go ahead and appoligize,...I have a really bad memory. Sunday I went from Task650 AOKP (Android 4.3) to Validus 4.1 (Android 4.4.2) . I cleaned everything before flashing and then installed the supersu and gapps as stated in the op. Yesterday I found out I had a wifi problem, not sure if I was able to connect before or not. from this point until I try back to stock i get a popup stating that media has stopped or media storage has stopped and it happens progressively more often as time goes on. I tried dirty flash and it didnt work so i thought i would try a new kernel. I had never tried flashing kernels before but i read up on it and seemed very simple. so I flashed Ktoonsez KT747 kernel, i also flashed EMJB modem to see if there was a difference. afterward when i looked in settings - about phone under kernel version it said (not exactly but best i can remember) 3.4.77-cyanogenmod .... dirty KT747. i couldnt find anything about this but i didnt think this was good. i dont remember if i tried reflashing or doing anything to fix it right then or not. but at some point late yesterday after a reboot my lockscreen was transparent (might have been before), background was black, status bar was gone, when i recieved a call there was no popup it would just ring but i could go in to phone and it said return to current call but i couldnt do anything to answer. I could call backthough. i did still have notification on the lockscreen. xposed fimware was also disabled so i figured that ruled out any issued from it. I was getting aggrivated. i read up a little more. read suggestions to flash back to stock periodically. I figured i should try that. BIG MISTAKE!!! I still dont know why it didnt work but i tried plenty! before flashing the EMJB modem I had DLK3. so i thought that meant i would be ok to return to stock because i never upgraded my bootloader. when i flashed it with odin it went all the way through and restarted the phone but got stuck on samsung logo after at&t splash screen. so i odin flashed cwm booted into recovery and restored a nandroid backup (life saver!!). this worked and i was back on AOKP with DLK3 modem but not satisfied and feeling a little safe to explore knowing that i had a safe return plan unless something went detrimentally wrong. so with my modem saying DLK3 and my rom on 4.3 instead of 4.4 i decided to try back to stock again and use the true stock instead of rooted stock. (WORSE MISTAKE!!) ODIN failed. my heart dropped i was terrified. I decided to download and try KIES but it wouldnt connect to the phone after downloading the firmware. I tried odin flashing root stock again and if finished and stuck on samsung again. so i flashed cwm and sideloaded Validus to get back to 4.4.2. seems to be working good but now to get to the issue. ater i got it back working i got a notification that sdcard was removed unexpectedly. before anyone directs me to one of the hundred threads with this title my issue is with internal storage not the external sd card. i have seached it quite a bit but i cant find anything like my situation. it seems that if i go to /storage/sdcard0 it is empty but i can access it from any of the following locations and its not empty.
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard
I do not understand this.
Anyone that has any helpful information thank you in advance.
update : it happened again today. my phone died during the night and when I turned it on just now it popped up the notification SD card removed unexpectedly except it popped up and went away really fast like 10 times. still the only thing missing is storage/sdcard0

Hi everyone. I received my very first Android phone a couple of days ago, a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. I did some research on the Android OS (my phone came with Gingerbread) and I found out about Cyanogenmod. So today, I installed C11 (found it right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568105) after a lot of sweat and blood... And I got it to run nicely, but I noticed I can't get my network to work. The phone was previously unlocked (I bought it used), and when I first tried my SIM on it, it worked.
When I first had to install CWM in order to be able to install the ROM, I succeeded in rooting it, and I noticed that the phone was still rooted after flashing it (though I don't know if that came along with C11). But anyway, I can't get my network to work; I removed the battery and the SIM a couple of times, but it didn't work. Now I don't know what to do. Could anyone please give me a hand on this? I know nothing about Android. Thanks in advance.
CM11 requires JB (4.1.2) - Sound like you flashed CM11 onto GB (2.3.6)
This can't work.
The thing is that I was trying to install an AOSP ROM (found in these forums as well) before trying with C11, and I wiped the data, formatted the system... So the phone was left without an OS. I didn't just "update" the OS, if you know what I mean. And C11 is working fine except for the mobile network.
EDIT: If I install a clean JB 4.1.2. and then restore to my current CM11, do you think that could solve the network issue?
Again: You need JB! With JB there are also other partitions which are needed to be new (on JB)
And Yes - Data restoring could work - But not recommended.... I would do an clean new install...
Please do not start an discussion... again: You needed JB.. (just to be sure)
Uhm, I never intended to start a discussion, I was trying to explain what I did. Thank you for replying anyway. I'll let you know if I get the network to work.
Sorry - I don't what to sound outrageous... But those questions were asked to many times... Here on XDA ACE 2 section...

Afternoon everyone, I was hoping someone could assist with this problem, I have a Galaxy Tab 3 7" wifi only, I was running everything as stock inc 4.1.2 firmware, then I was prompted for an upgrade to 4.4.2, I stupidly did this without reading up ! I use to run the Tomtom software on my tab, used it everyday for work, now since the upgrade the tab will not find a GPS signal, no matter how long I leave it, after a few hours of reading and trying different things, cache cleared, reinstalled the app, restore to stock twice (still on 4.4.2) Im at a loss. I have read once its upto 4.4.2 it cannot go back to 4.1.2 as the boot loader is locked ? I am currently downloading a clean instal from Samobile of 4.4.2 to see if that will fix it, installed via Odin 3.10.6.
If anyone has cured a similar problem or can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful
Thanks
John
sort of fixed
Couldn't seem able to find a fix for this problem I had a dabble with my Tablet, installed TWRP, backed up the 4.4.2 stock ROM, found and installed the ROM by Jon Wesley Tranchida - uber cool ROM btw - fantastic boot logo's :good: but alas, the Tablet would still not run the GPS with Tomtom. So I took a risk and found a Stock 4.1.2 ROM from here http://stockroms.webs.com/downloads deleted everything and started again, Installed the 4.1.2 Ultimate ROM, installed Tomtom again and YES, everything works okay :highfive: I really miss all the addons though that were included in the ROM by Jon Wesley Tranchida. I still don't understand why Tomtom won't see GPS or the tablet wont access the GPS on 4.4.2, after 10 hours of reading up.. Although I did read it could be some thing to do with the baseband ? its beyond me lol
