If you still have CWM installed, then just download this and flash it in CWM. Done.

[Q] Rogers GS3 ROM Questions...

Hello,
New to android... I have searched and searched and read in a LOT of threads trying to get Cyogenmod 10 working on my i747m on Rogers.
I have found many guides and have managed to root my phone and tried installing Cy10 but got an error 7. I read that this was because of the wrong recovery version. I was told to get ROM manager and update through there. For me, however, the GS3 doesn't show up in the options.
Could someone please link me the correct files that I need? I think I know the steps, but it seems that all the files have different versions and are not compatible.
I'm trying to be very careful and not brick my phone, so I am reluctant to try anything that I'm not sure will work... I think that's why this is difficult (Rogers = AT&T? or not?, etc.)
Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to take the time to help me.

I had the exact same problem as you and what I did was flash, if I remember, cm9 and go to ROM manager and then it would show me Samsung Galaxy s3(att).

You need to update your recovery I flashed the touch recovery from the toolkit and that worked for me

Do you remember which version of cm9? I tried that last night and I still got error 7, but maybe I used the wrong version. All I could find were nightlies, no stable ones for d2att (which is what I was told was our phone)

What version of the toolkit? I can only find 1.0 which gives me recovery 5.5

I'm in the same place. Rooted tried cmw and touch recovery both giving errors. Rom manager from the play store doesn't have an option for a different recovery for me.

I've been trying for 3 days.. I'll let you know if i find a solution (if this thread doesn't provide one that is)
(I'm in Ottawa too!)

Error 7 is means you don't have the right requirements to start with.
If you are trying to flash bell 4.1.1 on your Rogers device running 4.0.4, you must first install bell stock 4.0.4 from Sammy site or else things like will throw error 7 during install.
Read CM10 requirements carefully...

I had the same problem. I just upgraded the CWM version to the latest one using this (its the same step, just make sure you download the right recovery):

Get recovery from the main CWM site:
clockworkmod.com/rommanager

[Q] what's the deal with 4.3?

- For android 4.3, there has been a lot of talk on the developer section, and from what I can see, the major bugs/issues have been fixed. Like the ROM not rebooting correctly. For those using 4.3, is this true?
- Also, from what I understand, this was due to the recoveries not being ready for 4.3, however CM released their own bare bone recovery to fix that issue. And then I've read that the TW recovery has also been updated to solve this problem.
-There is a lot of information in the development forums, but I have not seen any post on the steps on what to do in order to upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3.
-Right now I have CWM 5 recovery, because that's been working for me, and I never bothered changing (bad experience with trying to upgrade/change a recovery). Now from what I understand, I should be able to flash the newest touch recovery (via the goo app?), and then wipe and flash any 4.3 ROM. Any detail instructions would be a help, or if someone can create a tutorial post, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Here is a post I made yesterday about how I switched from 4.2 to 4.3
I hope it helps. I have been on hellybean 4.3 for two days and everything is running great.

You could just install ROM Manager and update from there. It's super-easy (you need ROOT, but I presume you have that since you're flashing ROMs anyway). :good:

Many people have had bad experiences with ROM Manager. Especially in the Gingerbread days when its use was more common for this sort of thing.
Just my 2 cents.

Interesting -- always been good to me, although I only use it to update the recovery; for the ROM itself I use Cyanogen's update util. I also use CWM, not TWRP, so there's that...

Ur best and safest approach would be to DL Odin and the drivers for ur phone, then go to techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules and DL twrp2.6.0.4, this is the 4.3 compatible version, then put ur device in DL mode and connect to odin, load the tar file in PDA and click start, 30 sec and u have the latest and greatest twrp recovery, now go get hellybean 4.3 or beanstalk4.3 and flash it, watch the beauty take place...

I updated my rom today like I usually do from the CMUpdater and it updated from 4.2 to 4.3. I didn't mean or want to do that, but it didn't tell me otherwise. Now I'm having issues left and right......the one time I don't back it up...grrr.
I'm having the most issues with Gapps. I downloaded the new one and installed it and Google Music and Youtube keeps crashing. I guess I'll be doing the full wipe now.

Did u update to 4 3 gapps? It won't do it automatically, even if u updated through goo it just looks at what version is installed and updates that version, 4.3 gapps can be found in any 4.3 thread

Why do some of those files say hercules, and others sgh-t989? Aren't they the same phone?

[Q] Need help. Can't get phone to boot.

Hey all, I've been in the android game for a long time now, so I'm not new to any of this, but this s3 here has me totally stumped.
It is my cousins (telus i747m), and we had it stock rooted 4.1.1 until yesterday.
I updated it to 4.3 with kies, and then he opted for a custom rom. So I flashed TWRP in Odin, and tried to flash gummy 4.4.2
It failed with a assert fail as well as a status 7. I tried old TWRP, New TWRP, Old CWM, New CWM, many different roms ranging from 4.3 and upwards. Still failing with the stupid status 7.
Kies no longer connects to the phone, so I can't restore through there. I will have to install through Odin and the download is horribly and painfully slow.
So is there any way to get a custom rom flashed? I have searched and no one seems to have an answer. Any help appreciated.

What assert failure were you getting?

I'd start back from scratch so go back to stock, then root and flash latest version of TWRP or CWM. Make sure when you flash a Rom it's for that specific device for example if its for the AT&T it's for the AT&T. Also make sure to do a factory wipe before installing any me roms

[Q] Lost root after upgrade to 5.1.1 - how do I re-root?

Hi all,
I'm running a Sprint Note 2 (SPH-L900). I finally bit the bullet this week and upgraded from CM 11 to CM 12.1. However in the upgrade from KitKat to Lollipop, I seem to have lost root. I tried reinstalling SuperSU via both apk and by flashing in Philz recovery, but whenever I reopen SuperSU, I get a message that says "The SU binary is missing and SuperSU cannot install it. If you recently upgraded to Android 5.0, you need to manually re-root. Please consult the forums."
I've looked in the forums, but it seems like the answer that worked for most people is to flash SuperSU from recovery, which I have already done. Do I have to flash a file again through ODIN download mode like I did when I first rooted? If that's the case, can I flash a file which includes CWM on top of Philz that I already have, and will that be compatible with Lollipop?
I'd like some guidance so I don't accidentally brick my phone. Thanks for any guidance in advance!

Well all 5.1.1 roms come rooted. You just have to enable developer options (google it) and allow root for apps. If you want supersu then you need the newest version which only the new twrp has (although I think there is still issues with twrp for our device). I suggest using CyanideL if you like cm. CyanideL can be found under the development section.
FYI there is almost no brick on this device that cannot be recovered from. Flashing roms/recoveries/kernels are no real worries.

Thanks. I forgot about developer options; did that and set option to all Root Access for Apps only, but my apps still don't have root. Any other ideas?

My other suggestion is not to use stock cm.
