ROM Flashing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have successfully flashed the Omega ROM to my S3 using a combo of Odin and then CWM. It is running fine but I have been advised to upgrade to a BLFB or CM9 based ROM as I am currently using one based on ALEx and it's more of a battery drainer.
However, I am anxious to do this without first knowing if I need to flash it some other state first before upgrading. Or can I just download, backup, factory reset/cache reset and go ahead and flash the new ROM/Baseband etc?
If there is a step to step guide for this I'd appreciate the link.

And that's it? I can install any ROM I find on here regardless of my current phone's state?

Update from 2.3 to 4.0

currently i have a 2.3.6 custom rom and would like to flash I9100XWLP9_I9100KPNLP1_KPN with odin, this is a 1-part odin flash, so i have to flash without re-partition and afterwards make a factory reset, is this the correct way to upgrade? thx
Yep that's right

He doesn't NEED to, but it is usually better to start fresh. Reduces the chances of weird problems.
Every update I do, I back up all my app data using TB, full wipe, update, and then restore my TB backups.

The real answer is no need for factory wipe its not in the instructions .
But as posted many of us do wipe the phone before an upgrade and factory reset afterwards .
It does no harm anyway and is probably good practice .

Yes, correct. Make sure re-partition is not checked.

[Q]

Hi,
I'm currently on a CyanogenMod rom. I need to flash back to a stock ICS if i want to flash an AOKP or other rom or just install over CyanogenMod ?
Download a stock ICS ROM off sammobile.com, put your phone in download mode and flash via Odin. If you want another custom ROM, download the .zip file, put on SD Card, do all wipes in CWM and flash.

I'm on custom ics now and wanna flash the AOKP rom.
And do i need to do all wipes before and after flashing any rom ?
Your safer to. Prevents any force closures or other app problems. Just do cache partition wipe, data wipe/factory reset, dalvik cache wipe and battery stats wipe. Then flash ROM, and then re-wipe cache partitions and run fix permissions. That should prevent any problems. Also, none of your data will be wiped off your SD card. Also, make sure you back up your EFS folder to protect your IMEI, there is a developer on here that makes the Advanced EFS back up application. Use it as a precaution!

Ok flashing complete. Now i need to reboot and then again go into recovery and do all wipes or immediately when completed flashing without reboot ?
Do them now as a precautionary procedure. And that should be you!

Thanks 4 help
Check your IMEI by dialling *#06# and make sure it is the same as the one on the box of your phone. If it is, back it up immediately if you haven't done so already with the application I mentioned in my previous post. You'll thank me later when you need it and have it backed up!

S2 bootloop. Yes i used search.

Alright. So i decided to get jellybean resurrection on my tel.
Everything went good etc but when i try to start up it starts up does everything.
Then you get the ressurection remix logo and it stays there..
When i used search i read flash it back with odin? etc
I read it but still i have no clue on what to do.
Yes you have to use Odin to flash a stock firmware. You can get stock firmware for your phone (providing it is the i9100) from sammobile.com.

I'm stupid, I forgot to add the link!
By the way, to set up Odin, download Kies for the drivers, but kill off Kies processes in the Task Manager and make sure you run Odin with Administrator Rights.

Wipe data/cache in recovery.
Wipe dalvik cache.
Then flash the Resurrection Remix zip again.
(RR's previous build was ICS, moving to JB, you need to wipe cache and data).
If you need your data and other settings etc you need to reflash ICS RR, backup, then flash JB RR.

Rom recommendations

Hey everyone, I know there are not many roms available atm but can anyone recommend a stable rom? im finally rooted and cant wait to get rid of this bloat! maybe i should have posted this in q&a lol anyways i have rage one Rom downloaded I might try that, no screenshots so yea. I'm going to wait for some feedback first (If I even get any lol)
ps this phone is sweeeeeeeeeet
Yes you should have posted this to the Q&A section. I would recommend the TrickDroid by Torxx. It's a great rom, great battery life and performance; everything works wonderfully. It is on the International HTC one forums but it's safe to flash on your AT&T variant without issues. Check it out
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
You can rid the stock ROM of bloatware very easily:
1) Use Titanium Backup to freeze all the garbage you don't want. This requires root which you are so you are good!
2) Go to Settings --> Apps and "Disable" all the crap you don't want. This works for people like me who have no interest in rooting.
There are some apps that can only be disabled / removed with root however.
Lol. Cool heading there now thanks!

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!
TWRP
1. Wipe cache
2. Wipe Dev. Cache
3. Factory restore
4. Wipe system
5. flash rom
CWM
1. Wipe cache partition
2. Wipe system partition
3. flash rom
Wouldnt hurt to wipe the cache again. Also you can export the boot.img file and flash that in fastboot if you have any issues booting after doing the above steps. To do that just unzip the rom and grab the boot.img and follow the guide on flashing boot in fastboot. It should not require this step

No in TWRP under the WIPE tab there is a factory defaults or factory restore I forget the term it uses.
I guess it would be easier to know which recovery you flashed?
You should do a backup, then wipe data and cache and dalvik. Then flash and setup.

[Q] Need help reverting back to pure stock

Hi guys, I've owned this tab (p4wifi) for a few years now and for sure loads of junk has been building up in it. I've used dozens of ROMs in the past and it seems to be slowing down. Now the slowness isn't the issue, I just want to revert it back to full, pure stock as in Unrooted stock ROM from sammobile with no user data whatsoever. Exactly like the first day I got the tab, no pics videos or anything that I took.
I live in Malaysia so I'll be using this: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=5982
So now the problem is how to exactly go about doing this? I'm currently running CM10.2 with CWM installed and I want all my user apps, photos and videos gone too, like everything. I understand that i have to boot in Download Mode and use ODIN to flash that ROM image, but hat are the steps before or after that I have to take to remove all my user data? Would really appreciate it if I could have a step by step procedure.
Thanks alot guys

well before flashing the KERNEL image....
it is not quite necessary to totally wipe the phone..
bt to ensure a clean install it can be done...
while.... since u want to return to pure stock.... it is better to first restore your first cwm backup which u made just after rooting.....
coz flashing a kernel wont remove the custom scripts bt only disable it.....
so wat i say is... first restore ur just-after-root cwm bakup.... after that flash your kernel which u will download from sammobile. com.
and then u will have a pure stock unrooted phone like in the beginning

Thanks both of you Woohoo fellow Malaysian on this legacy tab. Sweet thanks for the detailed procedure, I'm guessing step 5 is the one that wipes all photos and videos? Because normally 1-4 just wipes user apps. Will try it after having my stuff backed up How is the UI smoothness for you on this tab? Just wondering if I'm the only one who feels that mine is very sluggish.
actually, Toldo's stock rooted ICS rom and Omni Kitkat rom are both smooth.

Yup that's the one that wipes everything. Sometimes the tab feels sluggish, depending on what i use it for, like heavy multitasking and such, but overall its pretty smooth. BTW, I'm running SlimSaber 4.3 on my tab. I feel that 4.3 gives the best performance for our tab and 4.1(pershoot's cm10) is the most stable.

If you're going to revert to pure stock, just flash official firmware via ODIN. Boot into stock recovery and factory reset. It will also wipe the contents for internal sdcard.

On stock ROM? I'd recommend A1 kernel or Yoda kernel. Yoda kernel is quite outdated and doesn't contain the l2_hsic wakelock fix if you have the 3g version, but its pretty good. A1 on the other hand, is a fan favourite. Both have performance governors and if I'm not mistaken also powersave governor, but honestly I've never tried trickster mod so I can't tell you that.

Thank you sir, great help so far heh. I ended up flashing the rooted deodexed stock ROM i found in the forum but after flashing I chose to disable stock recovery flash, does that change anything? My first boot wasn't successful so I went to reflash the ROM again in CWM and it got stuck in "Opening update package". I restarted the tab and it booted up normally. Is the stock ROM interfering with the custom recovery? :3

Did you do the usual wipe before flashing? And also what version of cwm are you using? Try using this version of TWRP by kasper_h.

It's alright everything's working now Now another problem popped out I wiped my internal memory which means all my photos and everything non system related, and it did, my tab was practically empty buttt the tab doesn't register it as that ._. The storage part in settings shows that I have used up like 12GB of space even though I have wiped everything clean, I did an SD card folder analysis with ES file explorer and although it showed the same 12GB used, the folders shown do not add up to that, could it be the indexes are not updated? Because I don't see anything that could be eating up all that space
