Hi
I have a Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M, which is already rooted and running 4.1.2. I just tried installing new ROMs on it via TWRP. First I tried Omni Rom kit Kat, then CM11, then CM 10.2, as well as 10.1. Every time it didn't work. I loaded the ROM and the corresponding GAPPS via SD card, wiped data, system, dalvik, cache, then tried installing from ZIP. I don't know why none of them worked. I read Omni ROM may not, and may only work on the ATT S3, but CM10 not working? I softbricked the phone a few times in the process, but was smart enough to back it up, and am currently at square one. Can someone help please?
I want CM11, or better yet Kit Kat!
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have the latest version of TWRP, 2.6. something

I had problems installing Roms too until I flashed the latest CWM.
Also, I don't recommend updating your ROM to stock 4.3 unless you have to.
I tried with CWM and got a status 7 error

What version of CWM are you using? You should be on 6.0.4.5.
I am using CWM 6.0.4.5

What errors are you getting during installation? You have a i747m or i747? The d2att is the i747 (i.e. s3 on AT&T)
I am getting status 7. I have the Rogers I747M, but the d2att I heard works for the M model as well.

Does the phone need to be unlocked? Does it have to do with the bootloader?

Under About Phone, what device do you have? Is it d2att?
I have SGH-I747M. Baseband version 4.1.2

So you're running a Bell or Rogers version of stock rooted 4.1.2?
I think so, pretty sure it's stock. Yes, it's rooted

I was on stock 4.1.2 and flashed to a stock 4.1.1, unlocked the phone using a free method and went back to stock 4.1.2.
I'm not sure why you're having problems. I flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM from here for my Bell s3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I then loaded Philz Touch Recovery and was able to flash Cyanfox, CM11, and Validus13 which are all based on 4.4.2.
I would avoid 4.3 bootloaders.
So it may be because the phone is locked? That seems to be the only difference between yours and mine. That and Philz touch recovery, but does the recovery program matter? I tried these ROMS with TWRP and CWM. Both latest versions

You mean carrier locked? That shouldn't make a difference.
Since you're on stock 4.1.2 and have never been on stock 4.3, you could also flash the 4.1.1 stock rom, carrier unlock your phone, flash Philz, and then try to flash a rom.

You mean unlocked from the carrier? If you're saying being carrier locked is not relevant to flashing a new ROM, then the only difference is that you used Philz recovery. Man, I just want some KitKat already on my phone. The bootloader wouldn't have anything to do with this?

If you're on stock 4.1.2, you should be fine. I had problems flashing with TWRP so I went with the latest release of Philz. I was able to flash 3 different KK ROMs.
Okay. I'm going to try Philz. Is there a good KK ROM you recommend? Also where can I find the Gapps for KK? I got it somewhere before, but I can't find it on goo
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Which version of Philz do you use?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Get the tar or zip version from here. Tar can be flashed in Odin under PDA and the zip can be flashed from another custom recovery: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att
More details and and installation instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
I like Cyanfox myself. You can download it from here: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=d2att/
Gapps are here: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=_gapps/

Only time I had issues with it not working was when I dun goofed my root and I think the issue was I didn't have busy box.
make sure that is installed. Also make sure you are rooted first..
Other then that in detail say what is happening.
Exactly the same as cwm. Except all wiping option are put together in the wipe menu, you can select multiple file to flash on after another and fix permissions is in the advanced menu.

Exactly what error is it giving you?
I just picked up my s3 yesterday and was receiving an error 7 with both twrp and cwm. Turned out I needed the latest version of cwm (I picked touch) located
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager to be able to successfully flash the latest cm nightly.
I would try updating to the latest cwm... worked for me.

The newest version of TWRP, 2.3.X, isn't supported by all ROMs yet. They made a ton of backend changes to improve performance. And I'm guessing CM hasn't included the new update-binary in their builds.

Which way do u recomend to root it . are there different ways to root some of which more friendly with custom roms ?

I been using the latest version of TWRP and flashed today's CM10 with the KT747 kernel. So, it is supported with non problems here.
Running AT&T SGS3 if that helps.

Hey guys so i have heard that if i install the old firmware for my s4 from sammobile using Odin one from early 2013 that it will give me access to service menu so that i can unlock my phone. So my question is that is it 100% safe to Odin flash the older 4.2.2 rom when i am on 4.3? Can i flash it unlock my phone then upgrade my phone to a custom rom again? Thank you i also am running a custom rom and have philz recovery installed.

If you are on 4.2.2 bootloader then yes, if on 4.3 bootloader then no, but you can try downgrading modems instead.. Also is the ROM you are on aosp/cm or tw based?

If you update to 4.3 by one of the following methods you're out of luck:
-OTA update
-Kies update
-Odin flash the full 4.3 firmware.
Like mentioned above, if you only flashed a 4.3 ROM but keep your MDL(4.2.2) bootloader you can go back.
Faaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk i did Odin flash the full 4.3 Damnit stupid Samsung why the hell would they block downgrading? Okay so if i did try to Odin flash the older firmware what would happen? I doubt it'll hard brick my phone right i could prob try it if it doesn't work then I'll just Odin flash 4.3

Seems any kitkat ROM I flash, I get an error. Both AOKP and CM11. Do I need to update my bootloader? I'm on the latest twrp recovery.
Might be because my phone is registered as an at&t s3. Guess the slimbean ROM I installed did that. It did say for tmo & at&t but registered as at&t. Hmm :what:
Edit. Complete wipe and installed stock rooted but still no luck. Anyone?

Using Phils advanced custom version of CWM recovery did the trick. I guess TWRP is the cause but Phils version can be found here -> http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=htt...2tmo/philz_touch_6.12.8-d2tmo.zip&h=XAQFMb4tC
Help me please. I am on a stock rooted kitkat rom. I tried to update my TWRP recovery to 2.7. Now I cant boot into recovery at all. The only way I can boot my phone up is by going into download mode and then cancelling it. I have tried CWM thru Rom Manager. I have tried different versions of TWRP, and Philz thru flashify. everything says it flashes correctly but I cant get to recovery. I am on a Tmobile Note 3 with 4.3 bootloader and a stock, deodexed rooted rom.
Try to flash the recovery with odin

Twrp 2.7 is meant for the 4.4 bootloader. This could be why you can't get in.
Use twrp 2.6 series in order to use with 4.3
Edit: I just re-read your post. You are using the 4.3 bootloader and running a dehisces 4.4 ROM? The above still stands, just want to know.

I want to update my device to N900TUVSFPH3 from fob6..do we need to unroot first, then flashing in Odin?
There is no need to unroot before flashing in Odin. One thing I highly recommend is backing up your data before flashing in case something goes wrong.

With Samsung phones, it is not always possible to revert to a previous bootloader. Unfortuantely, I don't know the Note 3 well enough to say whether it can or can't be done. Personally, I always run the latest modem and bootloader on a Samsung phone, regardless of whether it will run a stock or custom ROM.

The bootloader will not look, but it may be non-downgrade-able.
Flashing the latest stock rom via Odin will upgrade everything on the phone to the latest stock rom, including bootloader and modem.
