let me start off by saying i am a noob to this site and android in general , ive learnt a lot from my galaxy s2 .
now i got the s3 , ive rooted it .. however i tried to upgrade to 4.1 awhile back . kept getting error .
anyways i want to upgrade to jellybean im sick of waiting like everyone else.
cm10 seems like a good rom , ive read a lot on this forum, could some one tell me what the first step is do i flash cwm first on the rogers stock or do i have to put ATT stock on it
thanks
cheers
Hi!
Welcome to the site! You'll really love the community here!
Here are some simple instructions I found for you: http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...elly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-preview-104742/
Just make sure you download the latest CWM from here (6.0.1.2 currently): http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att.img
And flash it to your device.
Then follow those steps, wipe/format data partition, as it says there. CAREFUL make sure you download the latest CyanogenMod version from here too, the top one on the list is always newest, latest version came out today actually: http://get.cm/?device=d2att
Let me know how it goes and if you're enjoying it! Tried leaked version of JB on my S3 with Telus in Canada and didn't like the bugs in there...so let me know if the 'CM Finishing Touch' on there is really better than stock!

Yup! Start off with CWM Recovery flash, when that's done, transfer file to device (internal sd card) and from the ROGERS stock rom you can do the apply update from zip option in CWM.

Hmm...try ROM Manager free from the Play Store. If not just google around how to install CWM, installed it a while ago so I forgot sorry. But ROM Manager should work.

should i take off auto reboot then take out battery... i remember doing this when i rooted the phone . i think...
oh and for rom manager i cannot find my phone on the list , there isn't any galaxy s3 on it weird?
Hmm...weird. Guess it doesn't support the extra-super-duper-phone yet! Haha!
If you get the SGS3 All-in-one toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 , you can install CWM from it just make sure you have drivers installed, it can help you with that if you don't have them, and enable USB Debugging.
If that doesn't work, which I think it should, try to use this link a bit. Download the version they have it should be pretty recent.

Oh so now you have CWM? Well as long as you have it, you'll only need it once or twice to erase all data, then install CM and GApps.
Ill try it with the cwm from the superuser one but I remember doing that it said error 9 or something

Quick question, I flashed CWM recovery using the terminal, and I see it when I boot into recovery, but when I go to ROM Manager to flash CM10, it says to flash CWM Recovery, and won't let me access the list. I would've flashed CWM from ROM Manager, but the S3 wasn't on the list of devices. Is there anyway to get around this?

Hi there!
Basically you must first but the CWM ZIP file on your internal sdcard then boot into CWM, from there go to install zip file or something like that, then select from SD Card, find the zip, you're done!
Don't forget to do a factory reset through CWM before the CM10 update and maybe after too.
Let me how it goes,
Michael
Never liked CWM, I personally love TWRP as a recovery. Go to the app store and download GooManager.

But don't I already have CWM? Or is CWM and CWM Recovery two different things? Where would I get the CWM .zip for my rogers phone? I backed up my phone from recovery mode, does that mean I backed up my current ROM (stock rooted ROM)? And I backed up a few apps using Titanium Backup, if I use factory reset, would all my backups get erased? Thanks for your help!

Hi,
CWM = CWM Recovery; same thing just shorter .
The ZIP file for your rogers phone can be found here: http://get.cm/?device=d2att
Click the one at the top of the list as it is the newest.
Don't worry about the ROM because worst case scenario if you want to downgrade to stock, you can re-download it online and re-root.
For the apps, it depends where your backups are, usually, in TitBak, the backups are stored in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup which will be safe as formatting to factory settings and data partition in CWM doesn't format the internal or external SD Card. But I am not responsable if it does so be careful!

Also, I just got a notification to update SuperUser, which takes me to the Playstore, but on I remember seeing not to update SuperUser on the thread where I was told how to root my phone. So do I update it or not?

You can update it, I don't see what could go wrong because an update will only help fix things if there were bugs you had.
Okay, thanks! I'm going to use this <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587607> guide to flash the cm ROM. But say afterwords, I want to unroot and remove the 'Modified' status of my phone, and return back to the stock ROM like nothing happened, and remove the flash counter. How would I do that?

That would be with Odin you would redownload the Stock ROM for Rogers and then flash it. To reset counter, you can download the app TriangleAway for free from the Play Store and with root, it resets the counter. Then you can unroot.
Hi guys. Before you bash me saying I did not search, trust me I did.
Goal:
I am trying to install cyanogenmod 10 M2 following this guide: oh well, I guess I can't post URL's. But the guide is a wiki from cyanogenmod and is called "Galaxy Nexus (GSM): Full Update Guide"
wiki.cyanogenmodDOTCOM/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus_%28GSM%29:_Full_Update_Guide
When I get to the second command which is to enter the CW menu: fastboot boot boot.img
Problem: My phone gets stuck at the Google logo and my PC says that the driver failed to install.
Here's what I have tried doing and what I installed:
Android SDK + Google USB driver are installed
Universal Naked Driver is installed
I tried re downloading all the files and restarting
I tried changing computers
I even tried FORMATTING my computer and installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit.
My phone is showing bootloader in the device manager like it should. Everything is FINE and working except for that part. All my drivers are correctly installed on my PC. I have been trying to solve this for exactly 5 hours.
So my question is: how do I solve this ?
Thanks in advance
cheers
You don't have to manually flash the boot.img, just flash the ROM through CWM
Redownload the ROM, check md5 hash, flash away.
Restore the nandroid of your previous working state btw.

Hi,
I have installed CWM_RecoveryTOUCH_v6.0.3.0_N7100 for international version of Note2.
I formated my phone from recovery, my mistake I've also deleted system files including internal storage. Now, there is no ROM in my Phone. No Super User access to my Phone.
Can anyone suggest a procedure to fix this.
Thanks.
You need to flash a ROM from Odin, if there is nothing on your phone... Go to http://www.sammobile.com/ and download the ROM you want to flash and flash it via Odin from your PC... Then flash SU binary to root (also from Odin).... there are numerous threads how to flash ROM and root.
cheers,

Hello all-
I was just recently running CM 10.2 RC1 but had to do an install of the correct gapps as it was randomly rebooting. Well the device now is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen with the BLUE cyanogen. I have access to TWRP and am able to reflash the .zip file for CM 10.2 RC1 yet it still won't boot? I did the wipe of dalvik, cache, data and system but still no luck? The device is NOT recognized in Odin. I just want to get the phone up and running again, even if it means root is lost.
Please help!!

Do you have it put into Download Mode before you plug it into the computer for Odin to recognize it? If I had it plugged in before I put mine in download mode Odin would not want to pick it up.'

Get a sd card>download a new rom and put the rom in the sd card and flash like a normal ROM
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00023/E5R/I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 You can download that file and put it in the PDA section once you run Odin and run it from there. This will put your phone back to the Stock Rom 4.1.1 and you can restart from there if you want.

No, with the file I told you to download you do not need to have a SD card because you can't boot into the rom you have Windows will not recognize the phone like normal to drag and drop to it. So with this file you can save it to your computer, Open Odin, put your phone into Download Mode, plug it into the computer so that Odin detects it. Then Click PDA and browse to the file you downloaded and tell it to use that file and then Run the process and it will install the original rom onto your phone.

Can you get into recovery mode by any chance? If you can do that then it should be possible to do a factory reset from within Recovery Mode and possibly get you past the boot screen. If that doesn't help let me know and I will see what else I can find out for you. Also what all did you have checked and unchecked when you Ran Odin to reinstall the Stock Rom? If you had any of them other than Auto-Reboot on that may also have caused a problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686 here is a forum that will show you how to use Odin. I apologize for not remembering about telling you what to check and uncheck. But try recovery mode first and do a factory reset and if that does not work, redo the odin install this time only having Auto-Reboot checked.

Thanks man! I went back into Recovery and did a factory reset/wipe data and it finally got past that screen. Thanks again for your guidance and help. Any ideas as to what could have possibly caused the issue in the first place? I do want to re-root the device again and I am assuming my best bet is to flash a Stock ROM like you referenced with ROOT injected? What order should I follow, flashing a Stock w/Root injected...and then the Recovery of choice? Or vice-versa? What do you recommend?
Again, your timely responses were greatly appreciated. Was really worried I would have to take it to ATT.

It could have been several things that could cause the ROM to do that. I recommend that you make sure that your Bootloader is up to date and then go from there. Download the newest CWM, do a backup of your current rom so that you can flash back to it if you phone messes up. Then when you try to install a new ROM make sure you Wipe: Data then Cache, then Dalvik Cache in Advanced then Format /System. Then from there Install the new Rom, then install the correct GApps, then wipe Cache and Dalvik cache then Reboot into System. It takes messing up a few times to get it right but as long as you follow the guides pretty close and keep a good backup that you know works or keep the knowledge of how to Inject the Stock Rom to your phone when it messes up you shouldn't have much to worry about.

Thanks for the information. The phone that has been all screwed up and the reason I posted a thread in the first place is my gf's GS3. I have her's rooted again and running. I am going to update her baseband version and then install a custom ROM so she's up to 4.3.1. As far as mine goes, I have been fine. I myself also still have the outdated bootloader version. Is it ok to just flash that update for the bootloader without it doing anything wrong? I'm asking this since I'm rooted and running a custom ROM with no current problems. In other words, I don't want to end up saying "it wasn't broke, why did I mess with it" ? I did bookmark that thread you referenced in your last message. Damn that thread is LOADED with just about everything one would possibly need to know about Android and making it their own.
So my g/f accepted the OTA update today (not knowing obviously) and she got updated to 4.3 via AT&T, unfortunately!! I attempted to flash the latest Liquid Smooth ROM and I continue to get a FAILED message during installation. It mentions a bunch of bootloader numbers ( I am assuming the only ones this ROM is compatible with?) So is there any way to roll the bootloader back to a compatible one or just go a different route for the custom ROM?
Also, I attempted flashing the file to update my baseband yet when I so into the device, it doesn't show as having the updated version? Is there a different way of doing it or maybe a different file?
I'm not to sure about the troubles that may come about since your gf went with the 4.3 OTA but If I am not mistaken it will need to be downgraded before you try doing anything else to it and if it is not showing that you updated your bootloader on your phone I recommend grabbing the App called Root Checker to double check then look for another file, tho unless it failed it should have updated it or messed up your phone one.

If you've never used TWRP before I suggest trying Google to get some basics. When I say "flashing" I'm talking about using the "Install" button in TWRP. You'll install the ROM first followed by the kernel. They should both be Zip files. If it was just Xposed though it might just fix the problem to find the correct Xposed uninstaller zip and flash that in TWRP.
Yep know that install is flashing. My thing is, is that I don't wanna lock up bootloader. I tried contacting person I got the phone from, because when I got it, wasn't showing the stuff that was listed. I made a backup on titanium pro, but can't get to it.. when I try to "install" on twpr the folder is there but says sdcard, that I wiped..the bootloader and unroot are my main concerns oh, and hard bricking..have internal storage folders...some in blue,most are grey....?

When you tap on install there's an option to select storage. You'll want the micro SD card. Unless you use Odin you won't be locking your bootloader and as long as TWRP is installed root is pretty easy. Just get your phone booting and then worry about the rest.

I agree with what shadeau said, first just get the rom to boot. Just flash the rom zip by itself and after it boots for the first time you can go back into recovery to add Xposed. A couple things that you may want to check on though, the kernel that's included in the rom is setup to let Magisk install properly which you'll need if you're using the version of Xposed that you have in the link you posted and I'm not sure if beast mode is. It may be easier to use wanam's original version which is here.

Thank you guys so much for coming to my rescue.. sorry for the long delay..my dad just passed..
OK, my sd card is blank..i reformatted it and put all the files on it that are listed above in previous reply. In twrp, can I wipe everything in advance wipe (except sd card, of course) install install rom & kernel zips, reboot, install supersu, reboot, then I havent thought that far. Havent done anything yet, though, I have to install the moto cam and xposed framework.. and i was reading not to install xposed thru TWRP..then how do I get out of this mess??? wow, I feel pitiful rite now..

I'm sorry to hear about your dad, I hope you're doing ok. The process you mentioned is good as far as advanced wipe and install the rom, but I wouldn't flash the kernel at first, there's one built in and it's a good idea to make sure everything is OK first before flashing other stuff. But once you see all is good then you can go back into recovery to flash the kernel you want and you can flash Xposed in twrp just use the one I linked to in the previous post and make sure you wipe the dalvik cache and cache after you flash the Xposed zip.
just sent you a donation Kevin!!

Thank you for your donation, you are awesome!! I replied to the email address that was listed, but I'll also tell you now that it really means a lot to me and I couldn't be happier that you like the work I'm doing.
As far as restoring your apps I usually suggest that you should download them again from the play store. If you've already bought them they want make you pay for them again and honestly I just don't really trust the way that titanium backup restores apps, but if using the play store isn't an option it's ok to use TB to restore them and a lot of people do use it.
Finally Fixed the bootloop.

Your bootloader is not locked if you can boot to TWRP. Not having root is different from the bootloader being unlocked. You just need to flash the SuperSu zip.
