I have had a problem, I want to install aokp for my GS3 Model Sgh-1747m but I have not seen a single tutorial on how to do so. I am new to the forums and I have some understanding of how Root and Android work(My phone is rooted). I would like someone to show me how to add the aokp rom without any worries. This would be greatly appreciated.
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S III (Android 4.3)
Model: Sgh-1747m
Carrier: Bell
Are you on stock 4.3 ROM? Do you have any warranty left on your phone?
If you still have warranty and you're running a stock 4.3 ROM, you will void your warranty by flashing a custom recovery or rooting your phone.

I have searched I have already rooted my phone but all I am being told is to change the build.prop from d2Can to d2att
I don't want to do that because if I do I won't have another phone to use so I want to see someone do it so I can do it as well

I didn't manually change the build.prop but i installed the d2att version of TWRP 2.6.3.1 and that allowed me to install d2att ROMs (I chose Quantum ROM). When First I tried the d2can TWRP (which I got from Goo Manager) and I couldn't install the ROM. Updating to the d2att TWRP fixed that.

How do I get the d2att version of TWRP and install AOKP 4.4, will I need to unlock the bootloader or something? If so how do I do that?

I did the same with my d2can. I installed the d2att version of twrp and can now flash d2att roms with no issues. Download goomanager from play store, and instead of letting it detect your phone model (d2can), manually select d2att and install. That's what I did.

I just took a look at goomanager and the options look different than when I flashed twrp (d2att). It's either because I already have the recovery installed or maybe the app has updated. It's been so long since I did it myself. Try googling it or searching in twrp's thread here on xda. I'm sure you will be able to find step by step instructions.

Use the link to TWRP I posted earlier and then flash with ODIN. I'm sure there's another way to do it via the recovery but I haven't looked into it as I don't need to. Must be something on the forum about it.

Using which method, #1 or #2? I did #1 and installed TWRP via Goo Manager (IIRC). But that gave me the d2can version. I don't think you need to bother checking, though, just use ODIN to flash the new recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.1) from the link I gave you earlier. After backing up etc etc.
I had the exact same problem as OP.
What the recovery is trying to do is install a D2ATT rom onto a D2ATT phone which the Canadian carriers change to D2CAN in their build.prop file.
1. Find your build.prop file in system/data and make a backup of it however you which. I made a copy and just called it something else. Go to your build.prop file and change any instance of "d2can" to d2att. When I did this there was two. One on build.product=d2can and one on build.device. I just checked and CM changed some of the settings around and now there is just one.
Save the file and it'll ask you to reboot.
Now anything you download will think it's an actual at&t device (which is good).
The standard method for getting TWRP on your device is through goomanager but samsungs knox gave me issues trying to install a custom recovery.
2. Get the app "Recovery Tools" Or, specifically [ROOT]Recovery Tools - Flasher by DSLNEXUS.
and download the recovery file here http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/104
Download the .img file via dd into the root folder of your phone.
Open up recovery tools and select flash recovery and select other from storage. You CAN select TWRP and have the app do it for you but sometimes it uses older versions. I chose "other from storage" then you select the twrp file you downloaded.
3. At this point you should be able to boot into twrp and flash from there. Don't forget your gapps.
I spent months on and off wracking my brain trying to figure out how to do this on my phone without bricking it. I did it this way and it worked without a hitch.

My friend Bought a SGSIII from Telus, i hope to get one to if this all works, and we were using the Android toolkit 2.3 to get Clockwork and TWRP onto the phone which worked(we tried both and got errors which ill show in pics)
When i copy the latest CM nightly to his SD and try to fail, i get this 'assert failed' error. Screenshot attached.
Current its on stock and rooted, but thats as far as we can go.
IS there a fix for this? I flashed using the latest toolkit.
Also, i cant seem to find a definitive answer on these forums regarding this, just alot of uncertainty and different opinions.
1.) Is there any harm in flashing a Rogers modem on a Telus device, or vice versa, wouldnt that just convert the phone into another carriers device since they carry it to.
2.) Are there ANY restrictions on what can be flashed, i realize 90% of roms will be AT&T, is there any chance of bricking by using this.
Thanks!
Update to newest cwm, or use twrp
Open the updater-script and delete the first few lines which check if you are flashing on the correct device.
Alternatively, you can just change your build.prop to "d2att" and it will flash. I'm pretty sure that the i747m will run the i747 ROMs, as long as you have the right radio flashed.

Steps were
Use Tooklit to Install TWRP and Root Phone
Download a build.prop editor and change all d2can to d2att
Reboot phone
Install goo manager, menu button, install recovery script(should install the d2att one)
Reboot into recovery..flash CM
CM's self updater works after this cause i think the ATT boot loader is on there. Very good stuff!
You COULD maybe skip alot of it, and install the ATT boot loader from the toolkit, but this is what worked for me on 3 devices(coworkers/mine)
Or, you could have used ROM manager to upgrade to cwm 6.0.1.2 or newer.
Rpm manager supports sgs3? I was under the impression never use rom manager from s2 days.
Suped up S3
It works on s3. I've used it a couple times. Worked great on my old Inspire too.
My note 3 was previously rooted with TWRP and CM11.
I wanted to upgrade my firmware to official 4.4.2 kit kat and root my device again to try a different rom.
However things went to the dumps and now I can't root my phone. I insert the md5 file into oden and let it run and everything passes but the phone just reboots into recovery in a cycle.
To get away from the cycle, I have to flash the official 4.4.2 firmware again, which causes me to setup my accounts and everything from the beginning
I need to know how to root for 4.4.2 succesfully, please help.
Also, when i check the storage (internal) capacity of my phone after flashing of the firmware, I see that it takes up 7 gig. Is that too much for a fresh firmware install?

You can use Odin or Goo manager from the play store. Check in the development thread and there are guides to install, I don't have time to check atm but if not answered later I will check for you.

If your phone is already rooted, why not simply download the free app "TWRP Manager" from the
play store, with that app you can easily flash the twrp 2.7.0.0 custom recovery without going into
download mode and without the need of Odin.
Once installed, it's fully self-explanatory.
It install just like any other app you would
download from the play store.
Good luck!

I've always used Odin 3.09 for this phone. The .tar file goes in the AP slot. When I did mine, I rooted first using Chainfire's CF Auto Root, then installed TWRP later, after updating to 4.4. I'm sure you know that once you've updated to 4.4, there is no going back. You can no longer run 4.3 based roms because the bootloader isnt able to be changed back (that I know of). I keep hearing that you should not run Odin in a Virtual Machine but I've never had a problem with it. As for flashing with goomanager or TWRP manager, according to TWRP's homepage they no longer suggest using that method for the note 3 as it was causing problems. Use Odin. I've read reports of it deleting the factory recovery and failing to install TWRP leaving you with no recovery at all. Best of luck to you!

Run the CF-Auto-Root for the hlte - found in the original development section of the Samsung Note 3 forums(international) Link here.
You will have to use Odin to do the above though, however, the package you download for the CF-auto-root comes with Odin.
If you don't want to keep stock firmware, and you are just trying to install custom rom, then just odin the TWRP.tar file.
I got a Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 and it was all ready updated to the L710VPUDOH1 baseband version. After searching around a little bit I noticed that most of the Roms are for baseband L710VPUDND8 and that some of the ND8 roms would not flash correctly.
I guess maybe i found a workaround for this. When i first tried to flash the CM 12.1 Rom I got error and it did not load. Did not hurt anything either. Was a little tricky getting initial root but got it all working.
Figured id share how i accomplished this in case someone else with the L710VPUDOH1 baseband wants to run the other Roms.
First i tried to root with Odin and the supersu.zip but it didnt take correctly.
Odin showed successful and the supersu flashed to the /system but every time i tried to run supersu I get Unfortunately SuperSU stopped working.
So i ended up using ODIN to get Temp CWM recovery and installed the CF-Autoroot in the CWM recovery. This woorked to get Root.
I downloaded the TWRP manager from playstore andused it to install TWRP 2.8.1.0
The TWRP Manager gave me an error but when i booted into recovery I had TWRP.
After that i tried to flash CM 12.1 in TWRP but got error and it didnt work.
I read that wicked 2.2 would load,
its big all most a gig so i figured it was pretty complete. maybe based off of stock.
I loaded it successfully.
afterwards i booted back into twrp and did an advanced wipe of.
Dalvic Cache
/ system
/data
/internal storage
/cache
Then i loaded Cm 12.1 with no issues.
Tested Pac-Rom No issues.
Im thinking any of the newer roms will flash fine now.

I'm hoping you left out some steps, because if you tried flashing CM 12.1 without doing a wipe on System/Data/Cache/Dalvik then you will not have a working phone.

I don't think the roms care if your on ND8 or NJ2 or whatever the latest is . You should also update twrp to 2.8.7.0 . Version 2.8.4.0 and on allow you to flash a new twrp version image right from recovery . 2.8.1.0 is pretty old . Best of luck with your new hobby .
Ya i didnt have any troubles.
Im currently working on 5 devices and writing sort of a kitchen.
But it dose way more than most kitchens. Even creates a CWM style backup over adb like onandroid.
I found a way to patch a factory recovery.img to flash files signed with my own keys and that kinda started it all.
Anyway Merry Christmas
what's the root method for DOH1? ;; I can't seem to find a thread specifically walking through the root method for the latest baseband and i have an old S3 and was thinking of playing around with it for a while for fun turn it into a light weight media player to save battery on my LG G4 since we all know how inconsistent and crap the battery can be with the G4 lol
The root is pretty easy.

To root, you need odin on your PC. You can get it here.
Use odin to flash twrp recovery. You can get twrp from their site. twrp
Get the .tar of the newest build for d2spr (sprint s3). Put it on you PC somewhere you can find it (download folder is fine)
There are tutorials everywhere for using odin. It's the way to root almost all Samsung phones.
You also need the Samsung drivers on your PC. I don't have a link for that at this moment.
Then launch odin on your PC.
Put phone in download mode (from powered off, hold power+home+volume down)
Plug phone in to PC and odin should say "added"
Click AP button in odin then navigate to where you have the Twrp .tar downloaded and select it
Click start in odin.
When it finishes it should say pass.
Don't let the phone boot to system, unplug it and take out battery
Put batter back in and boot directly to twrp recovery by holding power+home+VOLUME UP
In twrp select reboot, then system. It should say you don't have root and ask if you want root. Swipe the arrow for yes. Once it boots, open SuperSU and update binaries if it asks. Choose normal method.
Done. Rooted.
You should really have looked up how to root before coming to a thread about flashing roms. There are tutorials everywhere for rooting this phone. Google is your friend dude.
Edit: you can get the Samsung USB drivers here
That thread has rooting instructions too. It's for the virgin Mobile s3, but its the same phone. Those instructions work fine. Only difference is I linked you to twrp recovery instead of philztouch (philz development is dead) and I linked you to a newer odin.
If you are that new that you aren't sure about rooting, maybe start over there in Android forums. I'm a guide there.

Really? I have been told there was nothing for the l710vpudoh1 version. Would you mind to help me out with this topic of flashing a rom, please? P.D: Sorry about my english.

I was given a SPH-L710... Originally purchased from sprint.... Currently activated on boost. I got the phone Dec. 24 2015. It had stock unrooted DOH1 with untripped warranty bit. I have successfully booted and ran these roms for a minimum of 24 hrs each. As far as I could tell they were fully functional including: 4G LTE, MMS send and recieve, hotspot, wifi, bluetooth, camera (still and video). All main fuctions worked correctly for the limited time that I used each rom. :

-cm-12.1-20160202-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip
-cm-13.0-20160130-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.zip
Im currently running CM13 unofficial as a daily driver. Cm12.1 SNAPSHOT was also very responsive and gave me no problems. I flashed them with twrp.2.8.7.2-d2spr.img. i flashed the recovery with odin after i made it into a .tar.md5 using linux mint 17.3 cinnamon. For the lte and mms i used "apn backup and restore" from google play with the root explorer method. Open gapps aroma for each android version i got from cyanogenmod website. i would recommend searching and using the dd command with adb shell in a linux terminal or cygwin to backup every partition on your doh1 first. (You will need root and busybox) There should be 24 partitions in mmcblk0. Make a backup of every one and you can recover one way or another ALMOST regardless of what may or may not go wrong. I used supersu 2.65 zip. Ive had alot of issues due to DOH1 but all the resources are in that easily used omnibox. Hope any of this info helps you.

To root, you need odin on your PC. You can get it here.
Use odin to flash twrp recovery. You can get twrp from their site. twrp
Get the .tar of the newest build for d2spr (sprint s3). Put it on you PC somewhere you can find it (download folder is fine)
There are tutorials everywhere for using odin. It's the way to root almost all Samsung phones.
You also need the Samsung drivers on your PC. I don't have a link for that at this moment.
Then launch odin on your PC.
Put phone in download mode (from powered off, hold power+home+volume down)
Plug phone in to PC and odin should say "added"
Click AP button in odin then navigate to where you have the Twrp .tar downloaded and select it
Click start in odin.
When it finishes it should say pass.
Don't let the phone boot to system, unplug it and take out battery

In twrp select reboot, then system. It should say you don't have root and ask if you want root. Swipe the arrow for yes. Once it boots, open SuperSU and update binaries if it asks. Choose normal method.

Thanks man is there any link you can share with me? I really want to flash a rom but there is no one with this device in Facebook groups. So if you can share any Rom and the way it should be flashed I will be really thankful.
P. D: as I mentioned before I have no perfect English skills so I hope you understand what I mean.

You have the sprint s3, but are you on sprint? If you are not on Sprint there are additional instructions. Any rom that says its for D2spr is fine. That's the sprint s3.
this is the one I'm using.

Actually, I don't use any company cause I don't live in the US so I use the phone only with WiFi.
I rooted it using Kingroot, flashed LiquidSmooth, CyanogenMod, Pac Rom, and SlimKAT, but decided that I wanted to return back to stock. I noticed that none of my apps can write to the phone's internal storage (i.e. Jotterpad, Monospace). I want to be able to return my phone to it's out-of-the-box state. Are there any methods that don't require ODIN? If so, please dumb it down.
Some KitKat/Lollipop roms made before October 2015 can also be helpful. Thanks in advance.
It depends on the build your bootloader is from.
Open terminal emulator and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
I'm guessing it's a 4.4.2 build, in which case you can find enewman17's corresponding thread that has the stock roms. Most are in the General section I believe.
Flash in recovery as per his instructions and factory reset.

I will have to root my phone again. I'm probably going to end up flashing CyanogenMod 12.1.
--UPDATE--
tried rooting my phone again can't download kingroot, or transfer supersu.zip or kingroot.apk to my phone. now what?
Simplest method to root in my opinion would be to flash supersu from TWRP. Supersu can be on an external SD card.
Is the phone an i747 or i747m? There are stock KK ROMs for the i747m that can be flashed via Odin but not for the i747.

I dont know about kingroot. Heard of it, but I don't recall ever seeing people use it for the S3.
But aside from that if all you want is to flash a rom, you don't need root. You need a custom recovery to flash it with and that's it.
If you still need help with anything though, please give us detailed info about what you've done, what you want to do and what is the current state of your device.
Hope that helps!

So I can flash CyanogenMod without root? Also, I can't transfer files between phone or PC and can't download files on phone either. Now what?
Apparently, none of my installed apps can update on their own either. Neither can Google Play. The version of Google Play I'm running is very old. This is becoming very problematic for me.
--UPDATE--
I went back to a backup I made. Original problem still exists.
