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?

What is your Current Bootloader ? What is the TWRP version you have ?

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

I'm using latest CWM, always update recovery via rom manager.

Try using TWRP 2.3.3.0 as your recovery system instead, it's more up to date and is reliable. Just flash it through Odin, afterwards, you should be able to install and boot the ROMs perfectly.

If you don't mind switching to TWRP as the guy above said, then I would switch. If you like CWM, then make sure you aren't using the super wipe scripts on CWM versions other than 5.0.X

Did you manage to solve it? i'm having the same issue with every rom i flash
I know this is a dumb noob question, but I rooted my s3 with cf autoroot and after updated supersu root works fine and knox is removed but i want to install the cm11 4.4 rom, 2?s, im still on stock recovery, can I install cm11 without flashing twrp or cm recovery and also since i had the 4.3 update will cm11 brick my phone? I was told it tries to flash the bootloader and I know thats prob a bad idea.
thanks,

I see cm11 in goo manager, just dont wanna click it and brick it LOL, anyone know if it would be safe?
Install a custom recovery first. Then flash the zip in the recovery. You'll be fine and should not brick. I've done the same

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.

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?

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

Which version of Philz do you use?

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/

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.

Nice. And glad you figured out that "dehicsces" was meant to say deodexed. Damn auto correct.

The phone has s-off and rooted. Twrp has been installed with custom recovery. The issue is when I flash a custom rom like AOKP it's give me a failed message. I made sure to clear cache and factory restore before the flash. Not sure how to fix this.

The current version of TWRP is 2.8.6.0 which is the one I recently downloaded and I am currently using. You can download it directly from TWRP.

TWRP version 7.5.1.1 <-- is TWRP manager from the app store i believe. But you are correct 2.8.6.0 is the latest.
OP if your TWRP is outdated, it wont have the new By Name partition installer. Older recovery's used block numbers, CM changed to Name partitions and messed everyone up. If you are using a AOSP based rom you will need to have the most updated TWRP
Thanks, I updated TWRP, this solved all the problems. Thanks for the help. Running TWRP 2.8.5.0.
