[Q] About Wicket JB v7 ROM, what recovery mode is required?

Hello,
I am a newbie here so don't criticize me if this question looks dumb....
Since I want to go with a TouchWiz-based rom, it sounds good for me to switch from CyanogenMod to the Wicked v7. I am wondering if I can use ClockworkMod Recovery to do the flash job.... Does the Wicked require TWRP to flash?
Thanks in advance!

Either works

Either will work but you should Odin the stock firmware first. Look it up here on xda its called the root 66 by docholiday. Good luck

roo66 is by mrRobinson. Unsure why you should Odin stock first. Please don't say it's because the dev said so.

I would say that it's to prevent issues coming from 4.2 to 4.1.
A lot of people have had to do that anyway after doing the backwards jump. Might as well get it done at once.

[Q] Brand new sprint gs3

I recently bought, and finally rooted my sprint sph-l710. I have flashed two roms, hyperdrive, and moar roms. My problem is that i cant flash anything else, only those two roms. Is there a fix?

What do you mean you can't flash anything else? When you flash, are you wiping everything clean each time before flashing ROMs or are you dirty flashing?

yes, i'm wiping everything, whenever i try to install any other rom i have some type of error. i'm new to this so please excuse my noobness. i've tried to flash a stable cm10, among others with no luck.

Do you have the md4 boot loader?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

The new S3 have been modded by Sprint /Samsung and require a modded recovery in order to mount storage. The other issue is that you can not flash an aosp style rom. You should be able to flash any TW rom but it won't allow aosp roms to flash. None of the developers have a new S3 so until someone gets one ir someone volunteers one this won't be solved.

I believe so, but i'm not sure is that @ the end of the build number? If so, yes

If your getting a status 7 error that is the bootloader error flash this in recovery it will update all your firmware and bootloader. http://db.tt/Qt6NcH0a
After flashing this make sure you reboot the phone then try going back into recovery and flashing the rom you want.

Is this still a legit fix even after the 4.3 upgrade?
I just tried this and now my phone wont even power on.

[Q] What roms can be flashed on this phone?

Hey guys, I'm looking to get the tmobile version of this phone since the i9505 doesn't support LTE on tmobile. Would the ROMS made for the i9505 work on this phone? I currently have the HTC One and I can flash the international roms on that phone.
I know the Octa core roms wont work, but will the i9505 roms work?
Thanks for the help!

From all that I have read, all i9505 ROMs will work on the SGH-M919 S4 model. You just have to MAKE SURE that the baseband is NOT baked into the ROM image.

Ahh. ok. Is there a tmobile radio image thats available in case things go wrong? I know the entire ODIN image will restore the phone, but is there just a radio.img file? Thanks.
Is there anyone else that can confirm that they'll work on this phone? I just really want to be sure

As for Odin'ing a radio image, yes. There's a thread around here somewhere that has just the radio image. You'll have to search though.

Im using bobcat rom i9505 right now on my tmobile m919 and it works perfectly. Just do a nandroid backup so you can restore if they're is a issue.

As for the recent 4.3 odin image leak, I'm assuming since that contains a radio, it's not going to work on this phone?

To which 4.3 Odin image are you referring? If you mean the 4.3 GPe image, then nah, I wouldn't flash that. There are plenty of CWM flashable versions of the 4.3 GPe leak to even risk using Odin to flash it. You got me kinda excited though thinking you were referring to a 4.3 TouchWiz leak; to which I got kinda excited... I can't lie

Thats why I was asking. 4.3 touchwiz would be nice, and since there aren't any custom roms based on it yet, I wondered if I could flash the odin image.

OOOoooooo (pic related)
Also, I'd just wait for a CWM-flashable zip as Odin + modems/radios/etc don't really mix well from my understanding between the various models of S4.

I mean, really... if you're like me; and by that I mean staying rooted, not really caring about having stock recovery, and not having to be the absolute first to have the latest and greatest OTA which might break your root/etc, then I'd definitely recommend just sticking with whatever you got now and just waiting until the unsung heros of XDA figure out how to work work their magic on the new stuff.

[Q] Switching ROMS?

hi i have a note 2 sgh-I317m and im currently on CleanRom 5.0
ive been looking at the new Ditto rom for note 2 and i want to switch, but is there a certain process i have to go through to switch? or can i just upgrade on top of cleanrom atm?

You should follow the op's (developer) instructions..Some of these 4.3 roms want you to flash a file for the 4.3 bootloader...I'd read the instructions very carefully and read as many post as you can because more then usual you'll face the same issues they had...
good luck

If your on 4.1.2 you will need to either flash the att I317 leak if your on att it's on post 226 in the general forum att 4.3 leak or flash a 4.3 bootloader as per the ops instruction in the rom you want. Both use Odin. If you pick the first option it will wipe your device and make you fully stock. So it will require you to root again and flash twrp. The up side it's the most stable way. The second uses Odin to flash. Some have reported problems. Read through the first few pages of the rom to see the issues.

wow ok thanks! ya im on 4.1.2 right now so i have to do that, but im with rogers, when i flashed CleanROM it said att and rogers are similar so i guess that will apply here too but ill read up on it to make sure!

Can i do a OTA update on my phone or will that not work? and whats the best way to back up your phone before doing all this?

OTA will only work with a stock 3e recovery...
But taking a factory update over the top of a rooted rom is not a good idea...
Backups are done with a custom recovery...and yes...you need to start reading and learning the proper steps or you will end up making a paper weight..... g

Interesting. Very weird it works on stock but not on aosp. Now that you have odined back to stock have you tried to re flash a aosp rom and check the camera? What stock rom are you odin-ing?
Are you also flashing any other mods or custom kernels?
I would try cm11 with just gapps installed and see what happens.
I doubt it's a hardware issue if it works on stock. Do you use any third party camera apps?
Sorry for lots of questions just trying to narrow down the problem.

well there's the TowelRoot option that would require you to download SuperSU and BusyBox from the playstore then there's using Odin to flash any Custom Recover for the D2lte then in that recovery flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip....then the most recommended is using Odin to flash the latest Philz Recovery for the D2lte which has an option to root the current rom that your on, under Philz settings

so i gave wicked x a shot an its way kool and the camera works. still clueless as to why aosp roms camera wont work. Let the fun begin lol. thanks for the help guys i appreciate it

I got the same problem with my GS3. Tried several different roms and different builds of those roms that people reported having no problems with and still no fix.
Going to try Wicked X see what happens.

Ive been flashin roms for about 4years. I love aosp but then i had to try wicked X. Its absolutley amazeing. Ive had no reboots, no freezin, awesome battery life, and best of all... EVERY feature on the rom an of the phone works flawless!!! Try it ull be amazed lol

camera works fine on Wicked x. Don't like the rom though. So I'm switching back to 2.37 LS it worked fine on my previous device

I used LS 3.2 on my previous phone, galaxy nexus 4. For some reason i cant get the camera to work on my s3 on LS

Same here, I never ran stock rom on the phone. First thing I did was to root and flash the room.
I'm so use to LS since I ran it pretty much entire time for past 2 years. Very disappointed with camera issues in v3.0. Hope they get it taken care of soon.
