I just got a software update from T-mobile and I am not sure if I'm missing out on something and should I do the update since my phone is rooted and I don't want to lose my root. I'm currently on T999UVDLJA. Is there a root for this update yet or should I just wait a couple days and see what happens?

that update is from January & it wasn't anything major
I just downloaded the pre-rooted Root66 version of the firmware and flashed it via Odin.
I tried to look fror a root66 version of the firmware on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
but the latest firmware is T999UVDLJA which is the one I'm on. Do i just do the update and flash T999UVDLJA again?

You can find it in this thread.
You can try the "update only" file since it will save you some downloading - but just read to see if it applies to you. I couldn't so I just used the full firmware and then de-bloated.
I'll just flash the root66 rom just to be safe. I could flash UVLJC directly from VULJC correct? And thank you very much for the help.

You mean UVDLJC form UVDLJA ? Yes, it should be fine, I did that and just cleared the caches.
Hi
I have a Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M, which is already rooted and running 4.1.2. I just tried installing new ROMs on it via TWRP. First I tried Omni Rom kit Kat, then CM11, then CM 10.2, as well as 10.1. Every time it didn't work. I loaded the ROM and the corresponding GAPPS via SD card, wiped data, system, dalvik, cache, then tried installing from ZIP. I don't know why none of them worked. I read Omni ROM may not, and may only work on the ATT S3, but CM10 not working? I softbricked the phone a few times in the process, but was smart enough to back it up, and am currently at square one. Can someone help please?
I want CM11, or better yet Kit Kat!
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have the latest version of TWRP, 2.6. something

I had problems installing Roms too until I flashed the latest CWM.
Also, I don't recommend updating your ROM to stock 4.3 unless you have to.
I tried with CWM and got a status 7 error

What version of CWM are you using? You should be on 6.0.4.5.
I am using CWM 6.0.4.5

What errors are you getting during installation? You have a i747m or i747? The d2att is the i747 (i.e. s3 on AT&T)
I am getting status 7. I have the Rogers I747M, but the d2att I heard works for the M model as well.

Does the phone need to be unlocked? Does it have to do with the bootloader?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Under About Phone, what device do you have? Is it d2att?
I have SGH-I747M. Baseband version 4.1.2
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
So you're running a Bell or Rogers version of stock rooted 4.1.2?
I think so, pretty sure it's stock. Yes, it's rooted

I was on stock 4.1.2 and flashed to a stock 4.1.1, unlocked the phone using a free method and went back to stock 4.1.2.
I'm not sure why you're having problems. I flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM from here for my Bell s3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I then loaded Philz Touch Recovery and was able to flash Cyanfox, CM11, and Validus13 which are all based on 4.4.2.
I would avoid 4.3 bootloaders.
So it may be because the phone is locked? That seems to be the only difference between yours and mine. That and Philz touch recovery, but does the recovery program matter? I tried these ROMS with TWRP and CWM. Both latest versions

You mean carrier locked? That shouldn't make a difference.
Since you're on stock 4.1.2 and have never been on stock 4.3, you could also flash the 4.1.1 stock rom, carrier unlock your phone, flash Philz, and then try to flash a rom.

You mean unlocked from the carrier? If you're saying being carrier locked is not relevant to flashing a new ROM, then the only difference is that you used Philz recovery. Man, I just want some KitKat already on my phone. The bootloader wouldn't have anything to do with this?

If you're on stock 4.1.2, you should be fine. I had problems flashing with TWRP so I went with the latest release of Philz. I was able to flash 3 different KK ROMs.
Okay. I'm going to try Philz. Is there a good KK ROM you recommend? Also where can I find the Gapps for KK? I got it somewhere before, but I can't find it on goo
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Which version of Philz do you use?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk
Get the tar or zip version from here. Tar can be flashed in Odin under PDA and the zip can be flashed from another custom recovery: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att
More details and and installation instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
I like Cyanfox myself. You can download it from here: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=d2att/
Gapps are here: http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/?folder=_gapps/
ANYONE have a clue how to do this without BRICKING???
NO NEED!!
I downgraded the aboot file to ZV8 , because I wanted TWRP
I read somewhere that there are really no differences other that aboot image from zva to zvc. That being said, I tried PA Rom, and it went thru fine!!!
Twrp is available in ZVC using Autorec.

Best way to downgrade is to use lg flash tools to tot back to zva.

So I just moved from the Evo Lte and all I want to do is get aosp running on the G2. I am on the kitkat ota update and have rooted using ioroot and have twrp installed with AutoRec. I tried flashing paranoid android and it just sent me into a bootloop... anything I'm missing?

Redid the whole process and instead of AOSP flashed a different zva rom from the dev section, now I get security error on boot and still bootlooping

You still having trouble? I'm not home right now but remember you from IRC. I believe at this point you have lost recovery and will have to .tot back

All fixed thanks to the guys on irc. I successfully flashed aosp after I downgraded my modem. I didn't find the system to be too stable so I just reverted by tot to ZVC with root and recovery. Now I'm just trying to get a custom kernel working, what can I do for that?

Have you tried Freegee? It worked on the AT&T KK Rom. I installed CWM 6.0.4.7 from Freegee.
