The T-Mobile variant for the Samsung Galaxy S3 can now be update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean using the Carbon AOSP JB custom ROM. Read this entire post and you should be able to complete all instructions easily without bricking the device.This is a custom ROM that is based on Android 4.3 AOSP, CyanogenMod, AOKP, Paranoid Android builds. More info is listed here:* http://goo.im/devs/carbon .
In order to install this new custom ROM at your first attempt, you should take a look at the guidelines below:
This tutorial works only with the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone. Do not attempt to update any other devices with the files you find here.Your phone should be factory unlocked and rooted.
Also, for the new ROM to be flashed you need to use a custom Recovery image like CWM or TWRP, as both these variants are supported by this guide.
A ‘factory reset’ is required before flashing the new ROM files. This means that you will lose all data from system partition.
If you want to backup installed apps data then you can use the following tools for Android:*Helium tool from Google Play Store*or*Titanium Backup.
Backup the SMS text messages, Call Logs and APN Internet Settings with these apps:*SMS backup & restore*|*Call Logs backup & restore*|*APN Settings Backup & Restore.
You will need to grant root access for some of these applications.If you don’t want to lose any important phone numbers and contacts data, then make sure to sync Contacts with your Gmail account. Use this guide*here: http://www.android.gs/how-to-sync-contacts-on-android-with-your-gmail-account/ .
Enable USB Debugging.Make sure that the phone’s battery will not get drained completely before completing the tutorial. The power charge levels should be over 50% in order to prevent that from happening.
This guide is for more advanced users.
Do not blame us in case you brick your phone or lose important files in the process.
Read all the info listed in this article and don’t skip any steps.
Also, make sure to create a NANDROID Backup of your current ROM before installing the new one. There is also a tutorial step that will teach you how to do that.
How to flash Carbon AOSP Jelly Bean 4.3 custom ROM for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3:
1.Download the custom ROM latest Nightly build from*here: http://goo.im/devs/carbon/d2tmo/nightly .
- make sure to download the latest version and not an older one, as those aren’t very stable.
2.Download gapps for Android 4.3 ROMs from*here: http://www.android.gs/download-install-and-flash-google-apps-for-android/ .
- this has to be installed after you flash the ROM, as it will add all Google applications that your device requires.
3.Connect your smartphone with your PC, then move both files to your phone’s internal SDcard.
- disconnect the phone from computer when the files are moved.
4.Power off the smartphone.
5.Boot the device into*Custom Recovery Mode.
6.First, create the NANDROID Backup for the installed ROM:
- CWM: select ”backup and restore” option, then use the backup to internal SDcard option. Confirm.
- TWRP: press Backup, select the system file you want to backup. Confirm.
7.Next, apply ‘factory reset’:
- CWM: select ‘wipe data/ factory reset’ and confirm.
- TWRP: press Wipe, then Factory Reset. Confirm.
8.Now you can finally install the Carbon AOSP Jelly Bean 4.3 zip:
- CWM: select install zip from sdcard. Locate the custom ROM file and confirm its installation.
- TWRP: press Install, then load the Carbon AOSP zip in TWRP. Confirm.
9.When the ROM is installed, repeat step 8 actions and flash the Gapps zip.
10.After both files are flashed you should return to the main Recovery screen. Reboot your smartphone.
11.Enter the Google Account details and take control over your device.
12.Test all the new features of your new ROM.

Rooting Canvas4
USING EXPLOIT:
using an exploit means using an available loophole in the firmware to root...this is done automatically by softwares like MOTOCHOPPER and FRAMAROOT
MOTOCHOPPER
Download MOTOCHOPPER and extract it to a folder in your PC
connect your phone to PC via USB cable
open the folder containing motochopper and start run.bat
a command prompt window will open...just follow onscreen steps
your mobile will reboot in some time....and DONE!!
FRAMAROOT(easiest method to root)
download framaroot app from the xda link given above
install framaroot and start the app
follow onscreen instructions
reboot phone done!NOTE: ROOTING WORKS WITH FRAMAROOT VERSION 1.5 and abv
WITHOUT USING EXPLOIT: this method doesnt use a loophole but forces the root on your device...which means this method is always successful...however you need CWM installed for this method...which can be easily installed using SP flash tools(see above)
FLASHING SUPERSU
install CWM by using the method of SP flash tool
download supersu.zip from above links transfer it to your SD card
boot into recovery using mobile uncle(just select boot into recovery option from the app) OR power off phone...turn it back on while holding both the volume keys along with the power key to boot into recovery
select "install zip from sdcard" "choose zip from sd card"
select supersu.zip and select select yes
reboot phone from the recovery main menu...DONE you are rooted!
Flashing a ROM

boot into recovery
wipe cache partition
wipe data/factory reset
advanced->clear dalvik cache
mounts and storage->format /system

4> Unrooting Canvas4*
open supersu app in your app drawer
goto SETTINGS tab
select full unroot
restart phone and done
*just unrooting your phone wont put it back into warranty...you need to get it to absolute stock factory level to claim any warranty so BEFORE unrooting the phone
just flash the stock rom using SP flash tools from given link
##### Another mention: taking backup of your ROM using CWM
this can be important as if you mess up while using a custom rom or you end up in a soft brick..you can recover using the backup of your ROMi advise that after installing CWM you should first make a backup of your STOCK ROM so that you can have access ti full stock unroot anytime(just restore the stock back up and unroot using supersu...easy isnt it!! no need of dwlding any stock rom)to make backup
boot into CWM recovery
goto backup and restore
create backup->yes
reboot...done!the backup files are stored in internal memory/clockwork folderkeep a copy of this folder in your PC at all times for any emergency that may arise in future(make sure you delete this folder while sending the phone for servicing under warranty)

WHAT IS ROOTING???(credits to Amit Taksali sir for this info)
ROOTING : WHAT IS IT?
The act of rooting is similar to yourself giving administrator privileges( as in your windows OS).
You gain access to root directory in system partition. In other words you gain total control on your device.
You may be familiar with Windows OS on your PC, so with windows or linux OS you have got guest user and an administrator. On your android device that you get out of the box the android OS comes only with guest user privileges and all the restrictions of it.
To gain access to administrator privileges and access system folder on your android device you need to root and this act is called ROOTING.
WHY TO ROOT?
If you dont have any other reason to root you should do it for the power of back ups. Tf something goes wrong with your device we normally do a factory-reset and will loose all our data and apps.
Setting-up your device again would be painstakingly boring and repetitive. Today we have various forms of back-ups that help us to restore our device as it was working perfectly before(for ex: an app named TITNIUM BACKUP gives you complete control on your apps).
After rooting flashing a custom recovery will help us a lot to make an nandroid backup of the complete ROM. The major benefit of flashing custom recovery is when flashing custom roms ad other customizations to our current rom. We can make an nandroid backup so that if something goes wrong , all we have to do is restore the nandroid backup and we still have a working device as it was before. We can also remove unwanted bloatware(pre-installed system apps) from our device and free up some space for other usefull apps.
Custom roms and custom recovery are more popular reasons for rooting. The best part of custom roms is that it can breath a new life to your ageing device and also boost the performance. Overclocking your cpu to get max performance can be done by rooting. If your burning through your battery you can undervolt the kernel and underclock the processor, to increase the battery life at the cost of performance.
There are tons of applications that requires root access such as TITANIUM BACKUP, ROOT EXPLORER, WIFI KILL, AD-FREE etc which comes with lots of power.
Now we may wonder why does the manufacturer holds back root access????????????
Most android users are influenced by the software or the user interface(UI) that the manufacturer applies on top of the vanilla android or pure android. Take an example of galaxy s3 and s4.
The manufacturer will provide the latest version of android on their latest device(s4) rather than an older device(s3). They may also hold back an update for older s3. By rooting we can get latest android through custom roms on our older devices(s3) which may attract the customers to buy cheaper s3 than s4. The manufacturers do not want to loose these customers and that is why they hold back root access.
By rooting our device we can also get the latest updates to our device before the manufacturer provides it officially. Sometimes the manufacturer stops updates for older devices as google did for galaxy nexus. But there are many custom roms that have provided the latest kitkat to those devices.
Here we have a huge benefit that the developers of custom roms are not held by any restrictions like the device manufacturers.
For example samsung can never provide you with beats audio or bravia engine to your samsung devices, but we can enjoy the awesome beats audio as well as bravia engine using custom roms.
They will provide you with custom roms that will give these special effects on your device.
WHAT ABOUT WARRANTY AND HARD BRICKS???
Most of the people are hindering to root their device because of damage to warranty. This is not an issue at all as you can completely UNROOT your device back to stock and send ot for warranty without any issues. Personall I have sent my canvas hd without any issues any problems and got it repaired many times .
Speaking about breaking your device, the chances are pretty slim. It mostly happens only when we dont follow correct instructions while flashing roms or playing with the root access. I the chances of bricking device are less than 0.1% once again if you get stuck on bootloop or something like that there are lots of developers on XDA and other forums who will help you to come out of these problems and restore your device to working coditions.
At the end of the day its your money, you have paid for it. When you cant take a PC with only guest user access then why take it with android. Use yor device completely and explore the complete power of android.
HAPPY ROOTING.
CUSTOM ROMScustom roms are modded systems/OS that are made for our device....these can improve our device's performance or looks.....different custom roms have different features...some are faster while some bring another device's UI to our device...advantages of custom rom-renews the cell if you are bored with the old softwares-in case of canvas4...some games dont work on the stock rom...so a custom rom comes in handy if you are a gamerdisadvantages-not all custom roms are perfect...there are certain bugs present in each...

You don't have to root and install CWM again as you have done it once. PureXperia Z2 is already rooted. You have to just install the rom from the zip file. Follow the installation instructions in this post . Good Luck

6. Reboot to into recovery directly (this will prevent recovery from being overwrite by the stock)
7. Flash SuperSu (Optional)
8. Flash Debloater / Pixel Laucher (Black) and H2OS Icon Packs , Google Assistant (Clear Google App Data after Booting) (Unified Flashable Zip) (Optional)
9. Reboot System & Profit
PS: System will reboot twice if you flashed SuperSU, Dont Panic !!
Never Settle

ok. a simple search in the thread showed that several people were having issues with the sim, and no solution has been posted. i suggest you try the following:
- put your sim in the other slot
- wipe dalvik and cache
- go back to stock completely and flash the beta 7 the official way (i know you'll loose the data but clean flashes are always better)
you need to root the phone install Super SU (SR5) as given in the instructions above.
Hello hello,
this will be my "live" thread of bringing AICP 13.1 to my xperia z1c, I found some Guide's that I will follow and I will share with you all the links and knowledge I gained as a newbie that I used to understand and fix my problems on the way.
Maybe this will help you, too.
Main Tutorial: LINK
Target of all this: LINK
My Device:
Sony XPERIA Z1C, 14.6.A.1.236 , Lollipop 5.1.1
My best hint: read carefully, take your time to understand what you're trying to do and do your own research!
Hopefully you will get a aicp custom rom out of it.
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________
General information: Android 5.1.1 cannot be rooted due to its high security standards, therefore we will downgrade to a lower security stock rom and create root access there. Root access will be needed as well as an unlocked bootloader to install real recovery (TWRP) which is the tool to flash custom roms like aicp. But the aicp custom rom will not have a good working camera, don't ask me why, but the camera seems to be a really difficult thing from the point of developer's view, let's accept this. Aside of that disadvantage, this custom rom is a very nice software and it makes my z1c kind of new. I don't use my camera anyway often at all.
During all this flashing thing I had a very big ??? while implementing real recovery. I was able to flash the .236.ftf but not the openbootloader.ftf as described in section 5 in the main tutorial. The result was twrp boot failed.
Error description:
flash .236.ftf works
flash openbootloader fails
flash twrp works
boot twrp fails
boot stock rom works
My solution:
I restarted from scratch and finally with the kind of messed up secquenceI got it:
flash .236.ftf works
flash openbootloader fails
flash twrp works
boot twrp fails
flash openbootloader works
flash twrp works
boot twrp works
UPDATE 06.12.2018 as a solution for REAL RECOVERY with working camera <<< RECOMMENDED
0. boot into rom works
1. flash openbootloader works
2. boot into rom works
3. flash .236.ftf works
4. boot into rom & check camera works
3. flash twrp ( business as usal ) works
4. boot twrp ( First boot is damn important, don't miss it! Press Vol- & Power, wait for vibration, release Power & keep Vol- until twrp boots up ) works
5. full wipe, flash aicp-rom, flash gapps, flash magisk-root, boot system works
6. enjoy Oreo 8.1 & camera check !!! works !!!
This routine worked straight forward for me where I started from scratch with my second device.
Flashing aicp was pretty easy, good to know for flashing the rom was full wipe = advanced wipe and select everything except of micro sd
To complete my aicp 13.1 Oreo 8.1 device the camera problem has to be fixed ( Saving the taken picture fails, display goes into freeze, no chance to solve this with camera mods, camera apps )
But @lm089 gave me the right hint, and finally this was my solution! Thanks again @lm089!!
Have fun with your new >> SONY XPERIA Z1 COMPACT <<
How to update TWRP
1. Turn Off your device
2. Start device in fastboot mode by connecting via usb cable to your pc and press Vol- until blue led tuns on
3. use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img to flash it
4. boot twrp ( This first boot is damn important, don't miss it! Press Vol- & Power, wait for vibration, release Power & keep Vol- until twrp boots up ) works
How to update to aicp 14.0 pie 9.0
starting with the running and latest aicp 13.1 oreo 8.1 rom above I just followed the Instructions here. As a specialty I had to install the Magisk Manager App manually into the rom to get root. Downloading supersu.apk from www.supersuroot.org works fine as well.
Your fastboot connection doesnt work for some reason though u had this workin fine in the past? maybe u had a windows update. install your drivers again.

THANKS A LOT TO @colaigor for his [BEGINNERS GUIDE]
Ok. So i dont have much time now but i can give some short directions.
1. Get unlock codes from sony for bootloader unlock
2. Instal adb and fastboot at your system(PC)
3. Instal z1c drivers
4. Instal flashtool
5. Unlock bootloader,root,flash recovery(search forum for "real recovery" ),flash root solution
6. Flash wanted rom,gaps
P.P. On second thought u dont need flashtool. All can be done with adb and fastboot commands from terminal
There is one thing I don't understand:
what is the difference between FLASHING REAL RECOVERY and FLASHING FAKE RECOVERY?
What I read is, that in both cases I get TWRP but on different partitions (real = Recovery Partition, fake = Boot partition) but do I need both or do I choose just on of them?

Real recovery have its own partition(after that update to bootloader). Custom recovery dont have that and its stored somewhere else(FOTA,onetime boot image , etc). Choose real recovery. New stuff works good with it.
Ok thank you :good:

solved, I skipped step 5.2, flashing the .236.ftf in advance
but how can I start TWRP?
doesnt work with POWER + Vol-, vibrate & release power
I tried to flash the following recovery solution using this command:
smartphone in fastboot mode (blue LED enabled)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
TWRP from step 5.1 of the GUIDE
TWRP 3.0.2
My formerly flashed .236.ftf rom works fine, but I cant start TWRP the device goes directly to my rom

Thats where I'm stuck right now, any ideas how to fix?
okay got it, basically i do not know what the problem is but:
after BLU
flash .236 :good:
flash openbootloader
flash twrp :good:
--> failed to install openbootloader and probably thus twrp failed
solution: I skipped to flash .236 as recommended by the author of the GUIDE (step 5.2)
flash open bootloader :good:
flash twrp :good:
--> failed to start twrp, though it was installed successfully
flash .236 :good:
flash openbootloader (failed again, but it's already on the device and I guess I could have skipped this here)
flash twrp :good:
first boot of twrp is successful :good:
And basically the author explained it in his text, FIRST INSTALL OPEN BOOTLOADER BEFORE WRITING STH TO RECOVERY PARTITION
I think you should use Aicp 14 pie instead of 13.1 Oreo
I feel Aicp 14 PIE is very stable and flash port camera stock this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-stock-camera-nougat-roms- t3628791
Nice thread, thank you! Wish I had that when I started rooting and flashing
@lm089 Haha it's quite some work to get into it, right? I just saw that we are running on the same device & custom rom, how did you solve the issue with the not working camera? I'm still reading stuff about some mod, but I'm curious and open for tested solutions on z1c
best, dj

Had this situation twice with 2 different oreo ROMs. Both times I solved it following a rather strange sounding suggestion I found on the AICP 13.1 discussion thread. The basic idea is to go back to a stock Sony ROM. Boot into it and make sure the camera is working which for me was the case both times. Then - if necessary - re-root your phone (on first occasion I flashed a pre-rooted .236 version but that caused some extra trouble so next time I decided to flash an unrooted version). And from then on it's the standard way as you described it in your OP.
Good luck!
Okay, thanks a lot for your hint! Unfortunately the camera mod didn't fix the problem, my android-task for this evening is defined:
AICP 13.1 Oreo 8.1 on z1c, root, ulb, magisk 17.1
1. backup my system (done)
2.0 flash stock rom lollipop 5.1.1 (14.6.A.1.236.ftf) with flashtool via usb (done),booting the os for the first time takes quite long (~10m), check camera in the os (done)
interesting fact: recovery is deleted by flashing the rom via flashtool - I thought I can go the lazy way and skip the step of installing twrp again into recovery
2.1 okay, let's do it: install twrp (done) and boot into twrp, NOT into ROM!! (done) (Vol- & Power, wait for vibration & release Power but keep Vol- until TWRP starts up)
3. flash aicp 13.1 following this (full wipe as an advanced wipe: select all EXCLUDING THE SD STORAGE)
Again here, I recognized the first boot of the rom takes quite longer.
4. check camera (done)
!!!! IT WORKS !!!!
(I did it two times)
alright, lets start flashing my second device - now I know how to do it
Thanks guys!!

Totally But hey, it's a solution
btw @lm089, boots your ota-updater directly into twrp and start the flashing procedure? In my case I had to boot twrp manually and flash the zip manually, too

No, updater is booting into recovery, doing a nandroid backup and wiping caches (because I told it to), then flashing and finally rebooting into system. All by itself :good:
I remember having trouble with that in the past though. Do you by any chance have an SD card formatted as adoptable storage?

Yes, its used as an external storage

ok, that's something different; adoptable storage means that your SD or part of it is setup to extend internal storage. If you can access all of your SD from TWRP then it is indeed formatted a external storage.
