OK my s3 is fully up to date if that helps anything. I'm using ubuntu 14.04 with heimdall and heimdall fronted installed from the repos. I'm following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d2spr but i never see the mentioned blue bar when flashing and I can't boot into cwm despite being told that the flash was successful.. What exactly am I doing wrong? I want cm on my device but i need to do a full nandroid backup of stock first which I can't do without a custom recovery. It's kinda a catch 22.
Using heimdall is iffy. Odin through Windows is probably your only sure way of getting it to work.

Except the only windows machine i have is a netbook and it's hard to find a dl link for odin. Anyway I used the towel root metod and flashed with rom manager which worked surprisingly.

normally i'm not the one to say this but its very easy to find the download link for Odin if you search through google.........and i'm on a windows netbook myself and its been working fine with both Heimdall and Odin.....and nice that you used the towel root method...........but i would suggest going to philiz touch recovery, i personally went straight for it when i came to the s3 but hey rom manager worked nice

nah i use twrp because i want to use cyandelta and don't really need any crazy features in a recovery just the ability to well recover. Used dd with adb shell and worked great.

I would like to find a Rom for My Boost Mobile Galaxy S 3. I have used a couple different roms and none were very stable, Kept getting "android UI has stopped" issues. I am looking for the latest stable custom rom for Galaxy S 3 Boost Mobile Variant.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
By CM or other do you mean other AOSP type, or TouchWiz included? ND8 /NDC TouchWiz 4.4.2 is very, very stable.

I am cool with a touchwiz ROM but I want to be able to tether and stuff like a aosp ROM. Really prefer an aosp Rom. Though. Link to that touch wiz ROM?
Thanks cheers
Almost every TouchWiz ROM has native free tethering any more. It's easy to flash it on stock rooted TouchWiz, too.

The first one is Wicked X. Stone of the early versions you still had to flash the tethering mod after, he might have it all worked out by now.
The second is what I'm running now, and he's making it more and more to look like AOSP, like all the way, so maybe you'd like it better. I believe it includes tethering and haven't tested that yet but again if not it's easy to flash.
You have to Odin the stock ND8 tar the first time before you flash any ND8 or NDC TouchWiz 4.4.2 ROMs. You'll find it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533
That will wipe your internal storage so back that up first. The Odin the latest Philz Touch Recovery, use it to re-root, then flash away.
Never Odin anything older than ND8 after that or you'll brick your phone. You can still flash from recovery anything you want except not an older modem, too.

Greetings,
I am very new to the sprint S3 and i have only owned it for a few weeks now. I love the phone and its a huge upgrade from what i have been using. I have rooted a couple of phones and have used custom rom's and such but never on this device. I had a lg optimus T that i rooted and flashed.
I am thinking about rooting and flashing this device to cyanogenmod ( and i think the automated installer will work from the looks of it so far anyway ) but i have seen several times over the internet that some features of the phone might not work properly after the flash. Would i be able to return the phone back to stock rom if i flash over to cyanogenmod? Mind you right now i have no way to backup the nand or factory rom.
My phone has been updated to kitkat also if that matters.

To go completely back to stock with stock recovery and everything you would use Odin. You say it has been updated to KitKat. I assume you mean stock OTA ND8 so if that is true make sure you DON'T Odin anything lower. You will be able to start over on a shiny new phone if you do because this one will be toast.
Yes, you would just use Odin on a PC to flash the stock ND8 tar file and it would be fresh as a babies bottom. Well, maybe not but it would put everything literally back to how it was when it was brand new.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533
It would also wipe your internal storage, so make sure you save pics, videos and downloads off of it (move to the MicroSD card) first.
Just NEVER ever Odin anything older than ND8, or try to flash an older modem than ND8 or you'll brick your phone.
It's a great phone, especially with KitKat! Enjoy and have fun!
P.S. FYI, questions go in the Q&A section.

so i updated the wifes S3 to ND8 KitKat and now it keeps freezing, did the full wipe and install, ive used wicked 7.1, and tribute rom both have the same issues running kt with both, i've full wiped and reinstalled both, seems like if you try and do to much if freezes, there is nothing installed on the phone yet just what comes with the roms, not using anything yet and still does it, any ideas, should i use the stock kernel, or stock rom.. this should have plenty of memory... any ideas to lean towards??? need help happy wife happy life lol
Take the SD card out, Odin the stock ND8 tar after backing up what you want from the internal storage, try it without the SD card in. If the problem doesn't reoccur that way, back up everything you want from the SD card, format it on your PC and only put back what you absolutely must on the SD card, if anything, then put it back in and see how it does.

thank you, i actually done that anuways, the first time i updated her phone to kitkat i lost everything on her card, she wasnt happy, but i ended up finding the stock kernel and it has solved the problem, seem to be something with KT
Good catch. Yeah, for some reason not all of the "same" phones work exactly alike.
You're welcome!

Install the app through a file browser like Astro, run the app, click the button in the app that gives you your MSL.

okay after some CPU issues im back to running complete stock ND8 no custom recovery or root as of yet....but i want the "best" stock ND8 experience so what kernel should i use to be able to mod the stock rom and to be able to switch out ND8 modem for NDC modem....im probably gonna use Philz as my recovery again tho....any ideas would be grate and i have tried KToonsez kernel already (messing around with it gave me the CPU issues)
There's only, technically, four kernels available compatible with TouchWiz 4.4.2.
1. Completely stock kernel.
2. @CNexus' permissive modded version of the stock ND8 kernel (only difference between completely stock and this is it's permissive instead of enforcing).
3. @ktoonsez' KT747.
4. @CNexus completely custom one, which I can't recall what it's named.
KT747 is the most developed one. I look forward to trying @CNexus' custom one which I'm guessing won't be completely developed until his MOAR for TouchWiz 4.4.2 comes out.
