[Q] Can't Boot any Non Cyanogen ROM - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I have a SG3 Sprint SPH-L710. I have been flashing ROMS for the past 2 years no Problem.
I tried a few 5.02 Cyanogen ROMS they flash fine and boot. Now when I go back to a Non-Cyanogen ROM it just hangs, even When I tried to do a restore from Phiz it will not boot.
I can load another CM12 ROM and it boots fine. UNrooted and tried to start over using Odin and I can root and load the TAR ROM just fine, but still will not allow any ROMS like Wicked to boot. Installs fine no errors. Just ODIN NJ2 still can't Boot any non-CM12 ROMS. So Basically only Cm11 and cm12 ROMS Will work.
Any Suggestions

Wipe your internal SD card (back it up to your PC first, if possible), lollipop encrypts data on the internal SD and when you flash a new ROM it cannot read the encryption because it doesn't have the key.

Go into Philz Recovery->Mounts & Storage->format /data and data/media

Did that also. Tried Twrp also wiped and still no go. Weird, cant it figure out. Installs fine but hangs indefinitely on the boot. Does CM12 have a hidden partition?

After 3 Wipes of the Phone complete format. It finally was able to take the ROMS.
I guess even though the Internal memory was empty, something must have been lingering around.
Thanks for the input.

Please help... My wifi no longer works. I think I may have stuffed my phone..

Hi all,
I flashed crash and omega rom yesterday, but i didn't like them, so i reverted back to stick from a Cwm backup..
But now when I try to connect to wifi networks, it gives a error saying the signal is too weak (it really isn't, as all my other devices connect)
I have tried on a few different wifi networks, and none of them work.
I would rather not have to flash a stock rom with Odin again, as i dont trust mobile Odin, and I can't get on my pc at the moment.
Here is a screen shot of the error msg..

Did you check Md5 and did a full clean flash? (Format Data, System, Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset)
Mobile Odin is reliable :laugh:

Hi,
Yes the md5 was fine.
I would rather not have to do a clean install, as i have all my game data on the internal sd card, and when I flash a new rom with Odin I loose all that data.
And when I try backing it up to the ext sd, and them copy it back afterwards, the games always seems to not notice the data is there, and try and re download.
But i guess I will just have to try doing a clean install tomorrow.
Thanks..
Cheers

This is PRECISELY the problem I have with ANY 4.1.2 ROM as listed in the thread I started about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044249
Go into CWM and do a full wipe (cache, data, dalvik and I also do battery to make me feel better).
Then restore.
I personally can flash ANY 4.1.2 ROM (I have tried the earlier leaks and now Wannam 2.1 and ARHD 6.0 as well as stock Polish PLAY but I am confident Omega would do it too) and I instantly get your wifi issues.
I just go back into CWM and restore from my backup (no need to wipe as restore does a full job of wiping over) and as soon as I am back to my old 4.1.1 system (which happens to be ARHD 4.1) everything works fine again.

[HELP] SPH-D710VMUB Stock (Rooted) (FJ12) to Dirty Unicorns 4.2

As the tile says, I need some help, possibly a walkthrough tutorial, on how to get from rooted stock FJ12 to Dirty Unicorns 4.2 ROM on my SPH-D710VMUB (Virgin Mobile). I had it running fine at one point and then things got screwed up after I updated to 4.3 and tried making to modifications to fix some issues I was having, so I had to revert back to rooted stock. And now, for the life of me I cannot remember how I got there. Any new ROM I attempt to install via recovery throws an error (error 7 if I recall correctly) and will not install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean DU 4.3..
Make sure first you're on an ICS modem...if not. Flash it in recovery on the tw ROM you're on now so you can update prl/profile..If you need a cwm recovery for the stock ROM you're on..Look in rwilco12 repo for a custom kernel with cwm for you're build..
This is how I flashed it..
Boot to cwm on current ROM...
Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache and format system
Flash DU 4.3...wait
When it's done...Don't Reboot..Go to advanced and pick reboot recovery
When new recovery comes up....do the wipes again
Now flash DU 4.3 again
Reboot when its done..
Let it settle for a few ...
Boot to cwm
Flash gapps...reboot..
Enjoy...:good:
Thanks. I'll give it a try when I have time in the near future.
The issue that I'm having is that recovery won't flash anything and just gives me an error every time. Is there a way to upgrade the recovery without switching modems?
Mobile Odin, PC Odin... You probably have the stock kernel, which won't flash anything.

Find cwm in tar format and flash it using pc or mobile Odin.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Mobile Odin is an app that allows you to flash kernels in tar format... Find it here on XDA.
Thank you for your help. If I continue to have problems I will continue the conversation later, but for now I'm going to try a touchwiz based ROM since battery life on stock seems so much better.
I'm following these exact steps and I can't get 3G nor 4G to work.
I used ODIN to get ICS stock rooted, then installed the CWM Kernel, and installed DU 4.3.
Any help here.. I've been going crazy for months trying to get this to work.
Thank you.

What modem are you using? That might be your issue.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've tried different scenarios of installing a different Virgin Mobile modems after doing a full wipe/cash/etc. I've also tried doing a stock install of JB (after trying a stock VM ICS) before i wiped and installed DU 4.3. I read somewhere that 3G and 4G for Virgin doesn't work on the new DU 4.3.

phone was flashing jelly bean roms now it wont

My phone today for some reason now won't flash any jelly bean roms. When I try to flash them the rom stays in a boot loop. But any ics or gingerbread is fine. I tried every stock no root gb27 and gb28 but same thing it just stays in a boot loop.

Howdy.
1st - Don't forget that we have Sections and placing your post in the right one would probably lead to a faster response.. Epic 4G Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
*edit* Mod moved from General.
2nd - Can you give us a run down on your flashing process? Would save a bunch of questions.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section..when I flash I do a wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik. Then install..never had a problem before.
Try flashing this first before you flash a ROM-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077277

If memory serves me correctly, KIES should be able to update it. Check and see if you're d/l'ing and update by checking for an update manually in settings. But I'm pretty sure KIES will get you there as well.
*edit* I can break out my e4gt to refresh my memory.. just need to get out the can of air to blow the dust off..

Ok did that it says no update available..its looking like my phonr just wont except jelly bean anymore.

No recovery on aokp rom

I'm using the aokp mildstone 5 rom and it doesn't have a custom recovery. I tried flashing stock cmw5,ff18,stock rogue,el26,stock twrp. Every one that I flashed on it doesn't work when I go to reboot sys it won't reboot the rom or it will do the android is updating apps but when it finishes it just freezes.Also it won't run google play services or play store they both force close had to download the apps that I needed manually from dev-host.I like this rom and want to back it up but no recovery works and it sucks not being able to use play store
Wow that's an old version of AOKP. I would flash EL29 directboot kernel via Odin. Then flash this more recent version of AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45539481&postcount=223

Yeah I know I'm the one that has the phone that won't flash jelly bean roms all of a sudden..I made a thread about it. Anyways I can only use ics or gb roms. Is that a ics or gb rom.
Bump
You're flashing TouchWiz recoveries, that's why it won't work. Flash an ICS AOSP kernel.

OK so I looked over at rwilco12. Which one should I use,aokp fe22 one click or tar. Aosp ff02 tar, times infinity twrp repack..there's a few different ones. Can I use mobile Odin or should I use my PC.
The only ics aokp recovery I see over there is times infinity.I tried chris41,calkulin, rogue,agat63..these wouldn'twork and I used my PC
I use the recovery kernels right ?

I saw a couple on @rwilco's site that said AOKP in the title (I would try those first), however I never used any ICS AOSP ROMs on this device as it had 4.2.2 when I moved over.
Try to flash Chris41g CWM6 recovery. (I'd post a link but, I don't have over 10 posts.) Should be located in @rwilco's site under CM9 kernels. It probably won't boot but you will have a recovery that should be able to flash any AOSP JB ROM.

Yes. Jb roms just boot loop as usual. And my aokp milestone 5 wouldn't reboot.
Had to get rid of the aokp rom the system app for making and receiving phone calls started to force close and I had no signal at all. I'm now using an aosp ics rom that has a team win recovery on it but still can'tget play srore to work

Remove your Google account and sign back in, also wipe data of the Play Store app in App Manager
No cigar..just keeps saying no connection

Is rooting that simple?

So I am about to load the ND8 stock tar over my MD4 rom (because I want to ultimately load the latest CM11)... but I am confused.
One of the posts here seems to loosly suggest that after loading the samsung stock tar of MD8, I can simply follow up with ODIN of TWRP. From there I can then load any rooted rom and have root?
Is this right? Seems that in the past, one needed root before installing a recovery.

Yes, but I highly recommend Philz Recovery over TWRP, it has zero problems with TouchWiz and AOSP, TWRP seems to have problems with TouchWiz. Philz also has a root option in the recovery so you can just root your stock ROM and download SuperSU from the Play Store and done.

Then just run it through Odin (I suggest you uncheck Auto Reboot and wait until it says PASS and then pull the battery and go into Recovery, go to Philz settings and there will be a ReRoot option. Then reboot and download SuperSU from the Play Store, and you have root).
