I have installed the latest nightly of cyanogenmod 11 now. Before i have the stock AT&T 4.4.2 rom.
To install the custom rom i have to flash the stock AT&T 4.1.2 rom, after that root that one, install freegee, install CWMR. And after that install the cyanogenmod rom from the recovery mode.}
To make the 4.1.2 rollback i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
The method above is exactly what you need to do for a good deep sleep on custom kk ROM... If you don't like the custom kk ROM and want to try another one ...do process all over again with new ROM. Good luck

So I need some advice on which ROM to flash back on my phone. I am new to custom ROMs and managed to hard brick my phone. I am going to try a Jig to see if I can get into download mode, however, if I do that I am not sure what ROM to flash back onto my phone. It's a galaxy S3 i747. When this all started I was running JB 4.1.1 on it. Then I flashed CM10 and that went great. After I flashed CM10 my phone said that I was on JB 4.3. Did CM update JB and the bootloader? I know that trying to flash an older bootloader can cause troubles. Afater I had CM running I tried to flash LeanKernel and this is when I bricked my phone. So my questions is, do I need to flash the ROM for JB4.1.1 or for JB 4.3? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Look buddy, the first thing you want to do is flash the latest STOCK rom for you're model. After you've done that you can now backup you're stock rom via recovery (TWRP recommended), after that you now have a stable rom to return to just in case you fail to flash a custom rom. And I would recommend one of the stock mod roms to get the use of all of Samsung's exclusive features. Good luck, and feel free to ask any more questions.

Hey thanks. I really appreciate the help. I got in a little over my head so I'm just trying to get ahead of the learning curve as quick as possible. Now I've searched around for the stock 4.3 flash able ROM and am having trouble finding a clear cut download for it. Do you have a recommendation of where I can find the JB 4.3 stock to flash with ODIN?

There isn't an odin flashable 4.3 rom for i747. The last thing there is is 4.1.1 then the 4.3 you would take as an ota. I highly doubt cm updated your bootloader. Floating around the forums is an sd unbrick method. You could try that. I don't have experience with it, but quite a few people have. Good luck.

Maybe this would work : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 Do some research on it first then let me know. And if you want a good and stable custom rom I recommend using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504903. Just don't choose the note 3 option, choose the stock.

But to root I flashed a ROM with Odin. The ROM is linked on that page. At least that is my understanding of how rooting works. Wouldn't that've a good ROM to use to un-brick?
Have you ever updated your phone to 4.3?

Not entirely sure. Never updated to 4.3 on a stock ROM. It was on JB 4.1 before I flashed CM10. However once I flashed CM10 the settings page said my phone was on JB 4.3. So not sure if the bootloader got updated or not.
Thanks so much everyone for the help. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately the Jig did not work, so it is all a moot point in the end. Looks like the phone is going off to get JTAGed.
Hello Everyone,
im new here but ive been on this forum before for help searching similar problems.
now the problem i have today is driving me crazy since 4pm, i tried everything and no hope.
i have Galaxy note 3 tmobile it was rooted working great but i wanted more out of my rom so i decided to go with jedi elite, but it was recommended to flash it with TWRP so i thought i could flash it over CWM. but it didnt work and i couldnt reboot in recovery anymore. no problem backed up my apps and unrooted the phone back to normal with 4.3, then i found out that 4.4 is out so i went ahead and downloaded it thinking i can root with 4.4 kitkat. well after i updated the phone i rooted and tried to use TWRP but it wouldnt work and the phone didnt wanna boot in recovery i tried CWM and no luck either.
now the phone for some reason is not rooted, it wont load in recovery mode and i tried to downgrade back to 4.3 with odin but it keeps failing.
heres what i need help with. Downgrade back to 4.3, be able to root and boot in recovery mode with TWRP...
help pleaseeee.
If you flashed the full 4.4 update your not going to be able to go back but you can have your root and recovery. Just no 4.3 roms, sorry. Easiest thing for me to tell you is there are some good tuts, if you can follow directions you can get straightened out. I was feeling generous and searched for you.
Good tut here for getting going on 4.4:

Once you went up u here. No looking back. I disagree with you cause kit Kat is great. It has speed and great battery life. No more WiFi headaches. U need to search the threads for the how to root video and follow it. The last 10 or so people who hated kit Kat was all them doing wrong. Can't blame something when u doing it wrong. What recovery you got what root method. Where did you get Odin file from. Did md5 check out. I tell you that you my friend did something wrong. Read the threads not just the op. A few guys posted a step by step and it worked for 98% of the people. The other 2 did it wrong

It worked but the rom maxes at 2.4 kitkat and jedi are 2.7mhz. is there any method to root tmobile 4.4 at least with 4.4??
Sorry guys if I posted in the wrong place... I'm new around here and I needed help. I just rooted my phone using the Odin method and I'm having trouble on putting a custom ROM on it (Jedi Elite KK ROM). If anyone could that would be much appreciated

Besides rooting you also need to odin flash twrp
recovery before you can flash any custom roms.
Here is the direct download link to the Odin flash TWRP custom recovery:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
After you have twrp recovery will be able to successfully flash custom roms
using TWRP custom recovery.
Good luck.
Thank you so much.
Hi folks. Long time rooter/rom user of phones and tablets. I have some questions for my V500
Since it is rooted, would this be the next step - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641409
(Installing TWRP for a custom recovery)
Since I'm on 4.4.2 with a V50020d base, would I then focus on getting 4.4.2 base roms and flash them via that TWRP I installed?
This does seem like a really fun and snappy device. From what I can tell, it has an IR Blaster right? Are there any roms that don't work with the blaster (I see this sometimes in the Galaxy Tab roms for devices that have the IR blaster)
Once you root, the next step is installing TWRP so you can install roms.
I also have the V50020d UK version.
Stumproot which is available here worked fine for me, easiest root i have ever done. Just install apk and your done.
Installing and getting custom recovery to successfully flash a ROM is another story. I have managed to get TWRP flashed to the device and boots correctly. However it fails when i try to flash CM11 or any other ROM. After reading around I think I may have to downgrade the stock 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 in order to get TWRP to flash. I am not struggling to find the correct stock 4.2.2 kdz firmware for the v50020d device.
It's been a bit of a head scratcher! Let me know how you get on with yours.
Cracked it today. I've written a guide for all UK users who are stuck with V50020d, compiling all the info. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/v50020d-uk-root-twrp-flash-stock-4-4-2-t2938914

I did mine with towelroot. I'll be looking to flash a custom recovery soon. I wanted to pop in here first to double check before going ahead with a recovery and a rom.
I new to LG and have 2 of these for my boys.
I have a us and uk one, i assume these will need different ways of rooting and flashing twrp etc?
I rooted one with Kingoroot no issues, but damn, getting cwm to install is a mare.
Both mine are on 4.4.2.
Looked at so many tuts, they all change due to time and i had to give up as was draining me.
Any tips on how to get cwm installed fella.
Best wishes
I've just created a tutorial for first time custom recovery installation.

Two options:
1) flash back to stock 4.1.2, root and install cwm via freegee
2) install gpro_recovery.apk from forums, flash recovery from there, update that dinosaur (I think it's 6.0.4.4) to something newer (Philz, which is slightly newer or latest TWRP available) and profit.
Thanks again shadi
But u mean to flash the gpro recovery using odin? (The old familiar way)?
Odin is for Samsung devices Which option confuses you?
I cant access the recovery mode so how can i flash the gprorecovery?
You download an APK called GPRO recovery, install it, and flash from there. After that, update recovery and enjoy.
To be honest with you, better option is to return back to Jellybean and start from there, possible less problems (wakelocks, deep sleep, battery drains etc.)
I did what ShadySquirrel said myself, It took a lot of looking and reading. Used the LG flash tool to go back to 4.1.2 then used I believe easy universal root where you connect the phone to the pc with charge only chosen under pc connections, then on the pc you run the bat file and it tells you what to do and roots the phone, checked root with a root checker app then used FreeGee to install cwm and twrp. So far so good. Good luck like I said it took a lot of reading.
Many thanks again for both of you...

shady i have an inquiry, do you recommend to go back to jellybean and then update the phone through the air? OTA update? or you mean to go back to JB and then start rooting and installing recovery?
as i understood from what you recommend is to go back to JB and then root and install recovery, but you mean to stay on JB??? and if not what i will get from returning back to JB, root and install recovery as im going to upgrade again to KK?

Depending on what you plan to do.
If you want to use any non-stock based ROM out there (CM, Bliss, Slim etc.) it's better to return back to stock 4.1.2, root, flash recovery (Freegee + new TWRP after that) and start flashing. This way, you have great chances to avoid random wakelocks, problems etc. , which are typical for moving from stock 4.4.2 to any other ROM.
If you want to keep using stock ROM, well, you're in a problem because freegee doesn't support Kitkat, so you'll have to root, install GPRO_recovery.apk, flash it's recovery and then try flashing recovery from freegee or try flashing new twrp. If you want to stay on stock 4.1.2, then it's the previous cycle (root, Freegee, twrp update) and that's it.
If you decide to use stock roms, DON'T install OTAs, you'll get a soft brick because of custom recovery.

many many thanks for this explanation, but i decided to stay in stock KK, so i maybe in a little problem, so i will stay in KK and root my device without installing the recovery, then i will be OK
Many thanks again,,,,
