WARNING!!! YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!
WARNING #2 YOU MAY LOSE YOUR EFS!!!
MAKE SURE TO THANK Brontok
MAKE SURE TO READ THIS WHOLE POST!!!!!
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT YOU MAY INCUR EXTRA CHARGES FROM SPRINT! I haven't had it happen yet in 2 months of playing with KK. But you never know
Now that that's out of the way, here we go!!!!
Some History:
This is the easiest way to PLAY with KK on your LS970. I'm posting this for the few of us left that want to see what KK would/will be like if we can get it fully working. I have spent COUNTLESS hours messing with every KK Rom out there to see if I could get it to work on the LS970 and the steps below are the easiest way. Our issue is the GSM to CDMA conversion.
I'm also posting this so that other people can try to help work on this. In this thread, I'm only interested in getting texts, data, wifi, and calls to work.
build.prop edits - BE CAREFUL with this!!!! You could lose your EFS if you change to the wrong phone/location/vendor!!!! To help to understand/recover your EFS, go HERE and use THIS
What works: - My Sprint account is showing everything is OK so far
Calls - calling and receiving seem to work just fine.
Wifi
3g data ONLY - This works on every other reboot. Meaning if you reboot your phone and lose data, then reboot and it will work again. It seems if it trips to SPRINT, you'll lose data. If it shows LG U+ it'll work
What doesn't work
4GLTE - If you have this in your area you will not have data. You will need to use wifi. "Mobile Networks" will be grayed out and not adjustable.

I've tried every way to make this a simple flashable ROM, but it ends up killing wifi. So here are the steps you need to take to get KK working on your LS970
Download LuckyROM_v1 ONLY! And make sure to Thank Brontok
Read the steps he has so you understand - and you MAY need to follow his steps!!
Use Philz recovery
Wipe /system, /data, /cache, and /dalvic
Flash ROM
Reboot
Done!!!
On boot-up, about mid screen, click it and set it to English. It'll bootup in Vietnamese if I remember right.
Don't mess with data, wifi or your Google account. Do those later. You can name your phone though.
Now you should have a semi-funtioning KK on your phone!!!!!!
Sorry to be so long winded, but I just want everyone to be able to play with a little KK!
Remember, this is a WORK IN PROGRESS. If you manage to fix any of the above mentioned issues, let me know.
Testing Files as of 7-6-14
Modified Mms - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358558687 Removes sim notification but I'm not sure if it helps fix Mms. Thanks to jgkim
Modified Kernel for 4G? http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358558686 It's flashable. Test it and see if 4G works. Thanks to AdriVelazquez

Here are the boot and system.img's from the above ROM.
boot.img - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554472
system.img - bad upload re'uping now
I'm opening this up to discuss anybody's work that they may be doing on any KK ROM for the LS970. ie. what changes you've made to get ??? to work.
Here's a list of some of the changes I've done:
build.prop mods: alot. And depending on which ones you change Opens/removes options/settings. Just making one change in the build.prop can wipe EFS, show Sprint, make calls work, etc. It's frustating.
ro.product.model=
ro.product.name=
ro.product.device=
ro.product.locale.language=
ro.product.locale.region=
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=geehrc4g
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=geehrc4g_lgu_kr-user 4.4.2 KOT49I.F180K30b F180K30b.1399632318 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=lge/geehrc4g_lgu_kr/geehrc:4.4.2/KOT49I.F180K30b
adding this line: telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
ro.build.target_operator=
ro.build.target_country=
ro.com.google.clientidbase.ms=
ro.com.google.clientidbase.am=
ro.com.google.clientidbase.yt=
ro.afwdata.LGfeatureset=
ro.telephony.default_network=
I'm pretty sure these are all the lines that need to be modified
framework-res.apk - eri and storage.xml's
/system/etc/apn's - I've tried Sprint and CM
/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
/system/vendor/firmware/libpn544_fw.so

we just flash the rom right not the patch or the modem because after i flashed my phone stays in a black screen after the GOOGLE logo
Yup. Just the rom. And you have to use philz recovery.
Install cwm first then philz.

Think I just figured out why I can't make a fully working flashable zip for this.
I've dd'd the system.img 3 times now and uploaded 3 times and all have the same md5sum. But it doesn't match the file on my computer.
I've ran into this issue with a couple other non-LS970 KK roms.

ROFL, he doesn't need to install CWM Recovery just to wipe all. He has stock recovery where he can do wipe data and cache or just put a code in the dialer.
Just shut off the phone and turn it on by pressing Home button + Power and you will get into stock recovery, then wipe data and cache.
i tried many ways like pressing the code in the dial pad, rebooting, wiping cache/data, reflashing but nothing happens

Try flashing another firmware
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
a new firmware would fix it why would u like 2.3.4 when the latest is 2.3.6, try to flash DXKT4 and then make a factory reset hope this helps
I would suggest, you give a shot to the new CyanogenMod 7.2
Follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381355
I tell you, it is much more reliable than you might think. Moreover, because of the custom kernel, you can select some pre-installed CPU governor, so that your GIO become even a bit faster.
Good Luck
Hi,
First, i would like to know, you are upgrading from what firmware to what firmware? is it one package firmware or full package?
I would suggest you to flash it again, but this time, using the full package firmware. After that, don't forget to wipe data/cache, and then factory reset, all via recovery mode.
My exp about upgrading:
- from S5660DXKC3 (froyo, one package) to S5660DXKP6 (gingerbread, one package)
- unstable, lagging, wasteful of battery (bottom line is, disappointed)
Note that xkp6 2.3.6 on xda thread has been modified, on sammobile its a clean rom

Dear Friends,
I bought an "olleh" galaxy gio and updated it to 2.3.6 from Odin.
Now the"Olleh" logo do not show and in its place samsung generic logo show on startup.
Main problem is, since update, my "auto-rotate" option rotates screen in opposite directions and when switching on wifi or BT, it just shows "Error".
No detail of error is shown.
Except that everything is fine. Calling, texting and gaming...
I used the following ROM to update:
S5660XXKTF_S5660DBTKT1_S5660XXKT4_HOME.tar.md5
Please help me with WIFI as I need it very much and could save me alot.

When flashing with ODIN:
Make sure you flash the right firmware! If you flashed any firmware, it also flashes their model's and Country's: modem, csc, kernel, system, etc...
Thus resulting wifi, data, bluetooth, and connectivity errors.
Find the right Stock ROM for your Gio model here. Then use ODIN to flash it.
[THIS SHOULD WORK ON ALL VARIANTS (VERIZON AND ATT), HOWEVER ITS TESTED FOR SURE ON TMOBILE]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: This Fix Only works for ODEXED MDB Build ROMS, MDL ROMS will boot loop.
INSTRUCTIONS.. (MUST BE ON A ODEXED MDB Build. stock MDB Build odexed roms will work with this fix!)
1. Mod build.prop file to sprints.. (Make sure you save the Build.prop file with the same file permissions that it originally had)
ro.product.model=SPH-L720
ro.product.name=jfltespr
ro.product.device=jfltespr
2. download the attachement below
3. REBOOT into recovery
4. FLASH the file, fix permissions
5. REBOOT
6. download the wallet app from the playstore..
7 download and install xposed framework installer
. http://db.tt/hEC5CNzz
8 download and install xposed wallet patch
http://db.tt/NutI92ic
9. Open xposed installer, in framework tab, click update then reboot
10 open xposed installer, under modules check the wallet patcher, reboot
PROFIT.. you can now change your build back to tmobile and wallet will stay working

Yes it is.
Edit: I am also running the Faux kernel, not sure if that makes a difference or not
I just wiped my phone and restored to stock, Downloaded the zip from this page just to make sure I'm testing the same file. Flashed the zip and had no problems.
It may be something to do with the Kernel your using.
Im on rooted stock mdl and it boot looped for me.

sounds like a Build.prop issue if you dont save build.prop with the proper permissions.
Root explorer should set the permissions for you if you are editing the build.prop with root explorer. That would be the only reason I can see for a boot loop.
I did use root explorer. Ill try again.

Can you edit the build.prop after the fact and then have it work?
Here's where I think I went wrong:
1) I already had Wallet installed, but it would just tell me I had an invalid device (probably should have uninstalled it)
2) Like an idiot, I didn't do the build.prop steps first
3) Flashed the file in CWM and Fix Permissions (Stuck on 4G LTE screen)
4) In an effort to recover from this, flashed TWRP and reflashed zip and fixed permissions (no luck)
5) Pulled build.prop with adb, edited it, pushed it back and set perms to rw-r-r
6) Retried flash/fix perms with TWRP
Still no go...anyone have any thoughts on what I can do to recover without a reflash of a ROM?
Am I lost if I didn't do the build.prop first?
Thanks,
Jason
if u get stuck on set up screen!i i made sure the build prop said sprint and then i wiped the data of google wallet and cache, then i rebooted. Then after the reboot i turned on google wallet and now i have a fully functional google wallet!
I dont know if this will work for u, but this method did get me past the set up screen ....

I appreciate the response. I ended up reflashing stock OTA, and after I root again, I'll give it another try.

Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I renamed the build prop ( had write permissions set for the system folder). And then rebooted into recovery. Flashed the file and then restarted and thats where it bootlooped. And by bootloop for me it was just stuck on the white tmobile 4g lte screen. Didnt make a backup either so had to wipe and reflash. Not a huge deal for me but just wanted to report back to try n figure out where the issue might be.

Bootlooping after flashing zip & fixing file permissions and then trying to reboot back to system.
Tried refixing permissions. Tried wiping both caches. No go.
Then I tried reflashing my ROM, but now I get stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen...
Odd. Never ran into a situation that I couldn't do a full wipe and flash to get out of.

DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM IF YOU CANNOT RUN MORFIC’S KERNEL! IT IS PACKAGED INTO THIS ROM!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN BOOT AND RUN MORFIC’S KERNEL, PLEASE SEE POST #2 OF THIS THREAD AND FOLLOW THOSE INSTRUCTIONS, THEN THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR RUNNING THIS KERNEL AS STABLE AS POSSIBLE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43525267&postcount=72
AOSP KERNELS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE, SO DON'T ASK.
***see post 2 for some other recommended things to do after you get all "set up"
We’ll keep this simple. This ROM will reformat and mount your entire system as ext2. Data and cache will remain ext4. Built entirely from a stock zip of MD1. Added some vital things I felt were necessary
Modifications done
# Ext2 system
# sql database optimization at boot
# zipaligned
# init.d support
# Carrier IQ disabled completely
# Terminal emulator included
# Apex launcher included
# Trickster MOD app included
# AOSP MMS
# Busybox support
# **TSM parts does not work... Don't use it
# Latest SuperSU and binaries – should fix some issues, thanks chain for keeping this project up
# 4 way reboot menu and 23 toggles mod by foreverloco is included. Love his work, so I had to include just a little bit of it. His thread is right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056666
I highly recommend his AOSP theme as well. I didn’t include it simply because I know some people don’t like that look, but for those of you that do, give it a shot and please go visit his thread and thank him for his work if you download this ROM, buy him a drink or two. The man does hard good code work and deserves the recognition and appreciation.
Probably some other things as well, little stuff, not too important if I couldn’t remember it. This will be extremely stable and fast for those who can run it if you follow the set up method of trinity kernel (first link in this post). I have logged over 200 hours on this kernel up time with absolutely no issues, gaming, music, I do it all. So if you have issues with it, well, I’m sorry your device is a freak of nature! Haha
Also... Cannot forget to thank dwitherell for all his work, help influence AND SERVER SPACE. Haha, seriously bro thx. Same goes for many others - and of course morfic, who let's me package up his awesome work without question. Foreverloco, don't know you bro but seen you around many times while I was just a "lurker" on xda and before I created an account a little while back. So many others... Torvald's? Stallman?

I will never put a donate link up, just not me. I do this for fun not full time, that is why. All I will ever ask for is a click on that thanks button if I've helped you or you enjoy my work.
Reserved for meee.... or maybe not??? was i quick enough????? looooolllllll **EDIT*** SWEET I WIN!! looool
Ok, so just a few things here. Simple, but will save you some headaches.
INSTALLATION****
1. Pretty straight forward. You will need to wipe data in recovery, but other than that, just go ahead and flash it. No need to wipe system manually, the formatting to ext2 will take care of this.
2. After the ROM flashes successfully, wipe data one more time.
3. After you boot successfully, IMMEDIATELY open the superSU app, and go into settings and reinstall superSU. After you do this and superSU updates its binaries go into settings and make sure the "re-authentication" box is NOT checked. Also, check "trust system user". This will potentially save you headaches guys, can't stress this enough.
4. Open trickster mod app (included) and find your way to the VERY first link in this thread, and follow that guide for set up. This will also save you some potential headaches, and will further optimize your device. These are settings I personally run myself, and they are 100% appropriate and necessary for the file system/kernel combination and ROM.
****CHANGELOG
- June 29, 2013 -
1. Initial release

K I just downloaded the ROM from the link (different than the one I have) ....
The error you were getting was FAILED...
I'll look into this in a few minutes. Probably something very small
EDIT*** sorry I didn't expound on this a bit more. It is saying "error loading updater script.
Although there are no errors in the updater script as far as dwither and I can see. I am thinking it was a bad upload and I'm gonna pull the DL link now and try again with a verified md5sum. This could be later tonight so sorry for the inconvenience guys.

DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM IF YOU CANNOT RUN MORFIC’S KERNEL! IT IS PACKAGED INTO THIS ROM!
# 4 way reboot menu and 23 toggles mod by foreverloco is included. Love his work, so I had to include just a little bit of it. His thread is right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056666
I highly recommend his AOSP theme as well. I didn’t include it simply because I know some people don’t like that look, but for those of you that do, give it a shot.[/COLOR]

Awesomeness..... d/l now.. will report later. Question as far as the theme goes, just don't want to flash the wrong one. Do we flash the "AOSP_THEME_MD1_Custom"? That is the one I would flash as the others are specific, want to make sure..
---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------
Update: Failed when doing step #2 Fix permissions in TWRP. In Bold RED Letter "FAILED" when fixing permission, hit Reboot and stays on Samsung Logo, tried again without the fix permissions, Stays on Samsung Logo..
Restored back up and wanted to try 1 more time.... When it gets to Formatting to ext2... either it is really quick or some thing happens here as it goes from this to installing system files now within 1 sec. Complete install less than 1 min, this time when I fix permissions it fails and when I reboot now states "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot? ughhh o'h well cant say I didn't try back to my DD.

By any chance did you wipe data before or after you installed?

friends - so i know there is a 4.1.2 rom but if you flash this using Odin, you will lose all of your data. so i'm asking if there's one that you can flash on top of your rooted 4.1.1 using CWM. if you know there is one available, please direct me to it. many thanks
note: i'm running stock rom; rooted with the aroma bloatware removal. thanks again
Yes. Look in the development section.

No I haven't, but it's a zip so it should delete you data. You could always download it and look at the installer script to verify it doesn't.
anyone else have any other suggestion?

Since I knew you weren't going to do it, I took the 5 minutes to download the zip and look at the installer script for you. It does not wipe data. It only wipes system.
It's fun to figure out how to do things on your own.
If you're going to flash a stock rom , you might as well flash S3Rx...it's AT&T stock 4.1.2 based with a lot of enhancements.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252932
@d3athsd00r - thanks for the clarification. i asked the question in that thread but didn't get a clear answer. and yes i wasn't aware you can tell by looking at the install script.
@EzEddie - have you used this rom? How stable is it? I looked at the change log and it seems more than what i want.
general question to everyone who's reading this thread - do you have any other suggestion for stock rom that's either 4.2 or 4.3 based? i want to have the most stable rom that doesn't burn up my battery life and snappy at the same time.
thanks all

Yes I am using this ROM and have been using ROMs by this developer since getting this phone. It is completely stable and runs better than straight stock. Yes it has a ton of features, but you don't need to use all of them. My battery life has also been great on this ROM. Read through that thread, you will see everybody agrees. Just flash it and try it. If you don't like it then flash something else.
There is no stock AT&T ROM with 4.2 or 4.3 for this phone. Your only option is an AOSP variety (cyanogenmod, aokp, etc..) Where you will lose some functionality.

hey thanks - i'm assuming this rom will wipe my internal data. does this rom has the multi window feature? i really don't want to lose my internal data.

Nothing will wipe you storage unless you make it. S3rX runs in Aroma which gives you the option to wipe Application data but won't erase the rest of your internal storage.
It is highly customizable and and includes multi window, just read the thread thoroughly and you will see what you can do.
I love S3rX and all the options it ships with by default.
i guess i wasn't clear - i meant my phone data (phone log, mms, picture, s-memo, etc...) I think when you flash rom, all of those data will be wiped. unless of course you back them up to restore later.
i will re-read the S3rX rom again. thanks

Again, ROMs won't wipe your data unless you specify it during the install. No one is going to do that because the backlash on them would be awful. You will either get the option in Aroma, or you have to manually do it in your recovery.
ok - thanks
I use SMS Backup+ to back up my phone logs and SMS/MMS to my Gmail account. Works great. Pictures are stored on your SD card and typically isn't wiped, even if you choose factory reset.

If you just want a quick SMS (no MMS) backup then look at SMS Backup & Restore. Saves SMS to .xml file.

Good day everyone.
I have successfully rooted my S3 1747.
I have done a backup after installing Rom manager. I also have a nandroid and titanium backup completed.
I would like to install cyanogen mod but its very important that I am able to get my contacts back.
I plan to install through the so called easy method in rom manager.
Am I able to get my stuff back after the install?
Thanks in advance
Most system app data will not be compatible. I don't know about CM, but in TW there's an option to export contacts to SD. It'll save them in a .CSV file. Maybe you can import them to CM contacts like this. Might want to confirm that first though.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to do this later. Does cyanogen live up to the hype?
Everyone has their own preference. I personally like touchwiz better. There are plenty who would agree and disagree.
If you've got a nandroid backup of your current set up, its pretty easy to flash a bunch of different ones to see what you like, and then go back if none keep your interest.

You can use google to back up all contacts and restore them on any android with your google account on it....as for the install I believe our s3 is compatible with the cm installer

When you say cm installer. I assumes you are talking about the app and pc program that does everything automatically. It says my phone is compatible however wouldn't work originally. I had to root and use twrp. Can I use that to update from now on or should I continue to use twrp?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Edit - double post
Well for me cwm is the easiest to use as you just wipe and flash.....its purely up to you, if your gunna use twrp just download the zip boot recovery wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, data (factory reset), and hit install zip and bam you got cyanogen
I wouldn't wipe /system before a flash. If the rom fails to flash youll have no OS to boot into, and it can be a huge pain to get it back. If the rom does flash, its first step will be to format /system, so it gets done anyway.
I think this may be one of those things people used to have to do on some older devices, and was carried on to newer ones. I just think its an unneeded extra step, and more than a few times ended up taking a day or two to help people get their device working right again.

That's good advice that would have helped me a lot. All the instructions I followed online said to wipe/format everytime.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Yeah, its extremely common advice. I see it all the time. There are rare times when it is necessary to format system, but I dont feel a rom flash is one of them.
Its still possible to end up with no OS after a failed flash, but the chances are greatly decreased by eliminating that one step!
