i'm having the same issue too, there isn't a clear answer in the development page for the US version yp-g1 from what i can see. a link to this information would be appreciated.
Hi everyone,
Tonight my YP-G1 (USA Player 4.0) went into infinite boot logo loops.
Luckily I can still access Clockworkmod Recovery.
I agree it's not clear how we can fix our devices (I am a total newbie!).
I found what *might* be the USA ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412875
However no one has confirmed it's good and that it will actually work. I'm afraid to do anything, and not sure what I'm doing or what my options are. This is my first Android device and I only had it for a few days.
Please, someone help us newbies with some good instructions.
I am so nervous right now.

Hi guys my dad just bought me a phone and I've been researching and it appears to be a fake. It's model number is is still gt i9300. I saw a previous thread and someone had the exact same one and only he was able to root and get it to the actual stock rom of the real gs3. There must be a way to do this but I need someone to give me a link to a specific tutorial to do this. Someone please reply and and tell me what I can do. I'm still a noon at this stuff so try to explain everything in depth.. Thanks!
Wrong section dude. As you say its a fake, i don't know if even on the Q&A section you will get an answer, but try posting there.

If the hardware is different then your more liable to brick your device, i'm afraid youre going to get very little help if thats the case.
Also, this is the development section, you don't ask questions in it.
Hi,
I'm fairly new to android (recent iOS convert) and playing with roms, I got an international samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which was already rooted and I put the Smartisan OS on to it. After playing with it for a while, it's good but a little buggy in it's pre-alpha state, I'd like to put standard android 4.2 (not the samsung stock software) onto the device.
Would anyone be kind enough to tell me or point me in the right direction to do this please? I've googled and can find people rooting the device or putting other ROMs onto it but nothing that tells me how to put standard android 4.2 on it from the Smartisan OS it's on now.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Best,
Greg
Just flash an aosp zip via recovery and do a factory reset

thanks but I don't really know exactly what that means to be honest
Where do I get an aosp zip from and how do I flash it?

This is what the guides and FAQs are for in general

I thought I made it obvious that I wasn't able to find what I needed in there....
Nope. You didnt mention "general" at all. You said you googled. Look in "General" - important stuff is stuck at the top.
Or follow the link a moderator posted to you in your duplicate thread.
We wont spoon feed you.
Or see the sticky fas and guides .
Any user who cannot find the basics and has not read them should flash nothing .
Saves bricking your phone through ignorance is why .

I'm just asking for a bit of help, a link to something relevant, is that unreasonable to you? I thought this was a help forum.
I've looked and looked and can't find anything on installing pure android from the smartisan OS
Lots about rooting and lots about installing new roms, nothing about simply putting android 4.2 onto it... Do I just need to root it? (mine came rooted with omega on it so I don't know if simply rooting would do the job)
It's probably just the correct terminology that I need to know, is all.

No its a developers forum and users get tired of the same questions day after day .

Root does not put on a rom .

OP if you're not going to bother searching and reading the advice given and then abuse those who try to help, why are you on this site?
Thread cleaned and closed.
I really need some help. I have read through most of the guides, and watched YouTube videos, but there is something I am missing or just not understanding. Does anyone have a step-by-step instruction guide for how to install a custom ROM to get my Vibrant from 2.3.6 to Android 4.4? So far, all I have succeeded in doing is bricking a phone, which fortunately, Samsung repaired for me. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not 100%, but I don't believe you have a Samsung Vibrant. The Samsung Vibrant never received an official 2.3.6 update and even had you installed a custom 2.3.6 ROM I'm not too sure Samsung would repair a rooted/hacked phone (although you could have gotten lucky). What exactly is your phone's model number? If it's not "T959" (and instead is "T959V" or "I9000M", "I9000B", "I9000T", "I9000", etc.) it could explain why your phone bricked the last time you attempted to install a custom rom. If it is "T959" then let me know and I'll see if I can whip you up a guide. :good:
Wow, that is incredibly kind of you!!!:good:
My model number is SGH-T959V, Firmware version 2.3.6, Baseband T959VUVKJ6. I have ODIN, Heimdall, superoneclick, and CyanFox. Just don't know how to make them all work together.
Thank you again!
Ahh, I thought so.. Although the model number is similar to the Vibrant (SGH-T959), your device's model number is SGH-T959V, meaning the device in your possession is not a Vibrant. To be exact, your device is the Galaxy S 4G which has its own dedicated forum here. Vibrant ROMs won't work properly on your device, nor would Galaxy S 4G ROMs work properly on the Vibrant. Sorry bud. From what I see it doesn't appear that the GS4G has CyanFox available for it, however, it does appear to have quite a few other KitKat ROMs for you to tinker with, all of which can be found here.
Lastly, it may not hurt to repost your question here. By posting it in the GS4G forum I'm sure you'll get the help you're looking for.
Hello, this is my first time posting on here.
I have an old Galaxy S3, USA version, T-mobile, SGH-T999. I was wondering how to update it to make it usable? From what I've read online the best way is to root and put in a custom ROM. The problem I'm having is finding the latest ROMs. Is there any way to find the latest official ROMs for the phone? And if I download an unofficial one, how can I know which will run well on my phone? Do I just simply get the latest unofficial ROM?
Lastly, if any one has any step by step guide or video on how to root and install ROMs it would be much appreciated as I've never done something like this before. Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm new to this site and have been having trouble navigating and searching old posts.
Thank you.

I suspect the reason that you haven't gotten any responses in the last day or so is that you are on the wrong part of the Forum! This is the area for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7" Tablet, not the Galaxy S3 Smartphone.
You might want to take a look over here for the T-Mobile S3.
Hope that helps clear things up

Oh wow my bad lol, thank you for letting me know!
So I just inherited a J1 Prime Mini 2017 model (SM-J106B), previous owner finally decided he has had enough with very limiting storage and upgraded to a Xiaomi RedMi 8. Any chance of porting Android Go to this device? I'm willing to try doing it myself in my free time, but I have no idea where to start - while I have been messing with Windows Mobile images back in the days, I've lost touch of my inner programmer and I can't work out head or tail on how to start with custom Android images. Due to the sorry size of the storage (~8GB), I'd like a firmware without all the bloat and contains just the barebones Google Go stuff.
@blakegriplingph any advice?
Has Samsung released the source tarball to this device? Also, is there a TWRP for this?
There is a sub-section on XDA found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/galaxy-j1-mini I looked it has a TWRP version etc
Necroing because I need space on the device more than ever.

Well, I see that the thread has been moved to the right forum. I see that there's a TWRP for it, but how do I go from here? How do I get an image of the flash on the phone, replace the stuff, and put it back? Sorry for sounding like a noob but as I said I've lost touch with my inner programmer and am having trouble digesting all the info.

TWRP needs to be flashed onto your device using Odin. But you can find that also in this sub-forum.
