PC36IMG.zip that's what you got to rename it, then place it on the root of your sdcard...reboot into the bootloader, when it prompts you to update...press the volume up key and update it
Also there should of been instructions on how to do this in the thread.....remember to ALWAYS read the OP (the very first post) of every thread that you download things from, especially when dealing with recoveries or else you'll end up turning your EVO into a brick in no time

sorry i messed up it is PC36IMG.zip

That will work, unless the phone was updated with the latest OTA. Then the android-info.txt file would need to have the main version 5.07.651.1.
I'm beginning to think I need to create a post with answers to all of these common questions with links to the answers. I feel like I see the same questions over and over again. We just need a giant FAQ or something.

Sweet! I think I am good to go. I followed the steps and when I booted the phone backup I still had the System Update. I click Install Now on the system update. It thought for a second and then came back and said your phone is up to date. I reboot the phone and now I no longer have the update request.
Thank you again Daniel!

Why is it every time there is an OTA suddenly there are 50 threads and another 100 posts on "what do I do?"
Rule 1 says please search before posting. Using google and adding xda into the search parameters will usually get you at least 1 of the way too many threads and posts on this.

Also, when you create a thread (on the PC, that is), XDA automatically does the search for you and gives you suggestions of similar threads to read before posting. I've found a lot of my answers just by trying to create a post and finding the exact thing I was looking for.

In response to the 2 above comments...
Initially I started with the ROM Development Page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748818&highlight=freegs3
I used the "search this thread" to try and find what I was looking for. Towards the end, other people had the same issue and some recommended to just find another rom.
When I couldn't find anything useful on the developer thread I started just to search the development and Q&A sections. I was having a hard time locating anything because I wasn't sure if the suggestions I found would fix all/most roms or were they specific to just a particular rom. Again back to square 1.
I then decided that I would post a question on the developer thread for my rom. I figured this would be the best place since others were probably having the same issue. When I tried to do that, I very quickly realized that I haven't posted enough thread topics to post something in the development section. I decided my next best best would be to post something in the Q&A section. I was hoping the answer would help me and others that are having the same issue.
So just to recap......No......I didn't just come straight to the Q&A section and post a question without looking. Quit assuming the worst in people.

XperienceD, give up with your increasing post count crap.
As said before, if your not going to help, dont reply. Or is this all you do? If so...sorry.
If you actually looked yourself instead on "just google it" you would see the problem.
I assume OP is looking for XtremeSilencers mod, yes?
He has 2 in dev section:
ICS

JB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974972&highlight=increase+internal+memory
Both threads state " If you want this mod/script for JB/GB then search in Dev section."
But there is no GB script?
I remember reading this a while ago...

I am sorry for confusion but the script for ics and gb is same!

First off all, go back and read what I wrote when you "said before", and no, its not "all I do", unless its on a thread asking about something that's been asked a million times before.
So stop spoon feeding the lazy, then XDA might return to the site it once was.

The more unanswered threads you leave, the more likely someone wont find their answer.
The thread has been created so deal with it.
Unless a moderator can remove useless threads within hours of their creation, or you find another solution to pointless posts just be helpful or simply dont post. Swearing isnt relevant either...this site is used by everyone.
I dont disagree that people should search, but there are billions of people who use the internet. You cant make them all read the rules. You cant win. So keep your useless "google it" comments to yourself.

Friends cut the crap shall we? Both of you are correct at different aspects, so to be frank both are inevitable at certain situations. So leave it aside and regarding topic, I assume that you are searching to increase internal memory from 380 MB to 420 MB in GB right?
Here is the file, just flash it in flashtool, a bit of warning though it might wipe the partition so I would advise backing up before proceeding!

Installing a ROM...?

Hey guys, I know I'm new, I mean, like ONE DAY new, but I've been posting around, and trying to help people out.
So, my question is, how in the H*ll do you install a custom ROM?
I've been seeing things ALL OVER the place about "Oh this ROM is Soooooooo coooolll!" but I have yet to find a decent tutorial on how to install one.
Do I just flash it on? And, if so, should I even get a custom ROM if I have no Nandroid backup?
Also, what's the average size of a ROM, and in your opinion, what would be the best ROM for this phone?

Follow the directions there after you read and do the stickies in the top threads of that forum.

so to add a bit more to this you should go in and read the everything about the Glide.
read that will pretty much walk you through the rooting of your glide and backing up of your special esf folder and the backing up at your ROM.
then you're going to update your rom to the latest version that's available which is 4.0 4 and then you're going to follow that thread that I linked
that will get you to the light ROM and the light kernel.

[Q] Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999L) -- assert error when flashing from bootloader

Hello everyone, first off I want to say I have flashed many different phones with CM over the past few years. I have been a fan of android phones since Day 1. I got a G1 the day they came out and was pretty active in the scene up about about 2 years ago. I had a G2 for awhile as well, loved it... had CM on it as well. Anyway, the problem at hand is this Galaxy S III.
I have flashed many phones for friends and co-workers and whomever asks. I have NEVER had such a problem with flashing a phone as this one.
Apparently its a regionally special model (SGH-T999L).
I have downloaded CWM 6.0.3.1 after rooting with motochopper (easiest root experience ever), then I attempted to flash to CM10.1.2. The phone is currently on 4.1.2. When I attempt to flash from CWM, it gives the assert failed error. I have seen a few other threads about this but they were regarding other carriers (AT&T) and honestly I have tried a million and one things in attempt to get this to flash, I have seriously spent over 8 hours today trying to get this flashed to CM10.1.2 and even 10.1, I even tried using the touch version of CWM and tried TWRP to see if I'd get a different result... But no.. same result.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I have tried everything I can think of on all three platforms... Win7, MacOSX 10.6.8 and Ubuntu 10 and 12.... cannot get it to flash to CM no matter what. I am almost positive it is something I am overlooking. If anyone knows how to get past this please let me know, I will gladly send you a present via fedex.
Thanks in advance.
Senor Y.

Basically in some roms, particularly cm and aosp roms they check the bootloader to make sure its up to date. The T999L is just so new that many devs have not yet added its bootloader to the updater-script. Read the info I have in the thread I linked and if you need help editing the script, let me know.
Ill try to fix and upload the rom shortly, just to make it easy for everyone.

Thanks again man, I followed your instructions and removed the assert lines... flashed with 10.1.2 -- then flashed the gapps back on and in business on the first try.
I am going to pass the link along to #Cyanogenmod on freenode because there wasn't anyone on there who could help me last night.
Senor Y.

Doc,
One last question, is there a baseband update I need to apply for CM10.1.2 / 4.2.2 ? -- I got the gapps installed and there doesn't appear to be problems yet, but the know-it-alls in #cyanogenmod seem to think I need to install a baseband update but they cannot provide me with a link... so I was wondering what your take on that is.
Thanks again,

It's bad advice. Ignore it.

Very bad advice! !!
Baseband is your modem which should have nothing to do with your rom. They probably meant bootloader. But the T999L only has one version of firmware available right now, so it wouldn't be possible anyway. Theyd probably tell you to use MD5, but that would brick your phone!
Glad you asked!
