Getting back to basics - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my phone and installed Pandroid and even tried CM9
But to be honest i was more happy with the stock rom that samsung provided for me from the start.
What would be the easies way to get back to where i started from?
Or are there any good stable roms för the galaxy s3 i9300 out there where everything just works?

Try an ICS rom - Omega, or DragonICS. They are more similar to stock than the CyanogenMods.

Next time try search harder and ask in Q&A section.
Do whatever you think fit your need with the phone.
Flash original firmware using odin
Or you may try Omega rom, RGUI rom, Foxhound rom and Wanamlite rom. All great roms.

So do you wish to go back to full stock, or a Samsung based custom Rom?

Revert back to Stock ICS

Hi,
As the ICS is now available in India I wanted to know if I could install the stock ICS for my S29100 using KIES..
I already had flashed a custom ICS but wanted to install the stock ICS so I do not have any warranty issue also
will is it really safe to use triangle away, I already read about it in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
but is it really safe?
Yes, you should be safe if you have read it properly and understood what to do. However make a backup all the same.

yes u can go back to any stock rom of any country
I confirm that it is safe, I already use before. But you can flash stock ROM via Odin, this way is faster than Kies.

Lol. Chris Walken for the win. To the op-these threads are discouraged. Just try for yourself. We try not to compare Roms here as everybody like something different.

Kinda Noobie here
hello,
2 month back i brought unlocked i777 from ebay. It got rooted and unlocked with Android version 2.3.4, baseband i777UCKH7 and kernel version 2.6.35.7.
It got super user app (so i think its rooted). But the CMW is not installed. i checked in recovery mode (it show some android recovery).
So now i m thinkin of installing the latest AOKP ROM (with siyah kernel) but not sure wat to flash first.
should i root again first (root + CWM) then install AOKP. then change the kernel.
or root then kernel then AOKP ?
also i m confuse which root method should i use for installing CWM in gingerbread .

Please make sure you're running a safe kernel otherwise you'll brick your phone.

Install kernel with cwm.
Boot to recovery and install aokp rom
Done
Every rom install contains a kernel that works with the rom. Doesn't matter what you had before.

When you flash the custom kernel with CWM, you can then user CWM to flash whichever ROM you wish. I.E. AOKP

Compatible ROMs

Just about to flash a ROM on my S3 (first time), and I'm just asking are different version ROMs compatible with the stock version ROM? e.g: I have a s3 running Jellybean 4.1.1 (stock) but can I flash a different ROM that's made for ICS?
Thanks

Just make sure, that your s3 version is made for the rom. If so you should be able to flash all roms. Why would you want to go back to ics?

When you mean s3 version do you mean like GT-i9300 etc.? And so if it was made for that (GT-i9300), I would be able to flash any ROM?
yes

[Q] Boot screen and then turns off

Hi, I've been trying to update my Gingerbread I900 for a whole day now, but it's have been full with problems.
It all started when I tried to flash a CWM recovery for JB with Odin, that it made it so each time I tried to turn it on, the boot screen appeared, and then it turned off again, along with a triangle warning sign.
Now, I've tried everything I've found on the web, which caused a bootloop, which I solved by flashing Siyah kernel, but now I'm back at square one, where the bootscreen appears, and then it turns off.
Can anyone give me a hand?
Flash stock firmware with Odin to upgrade/fix. Or do you want custom rom?

I was thinking on using CyanogenMod 11, but at this point, I just want the phone to work, regardless of rom.
If I was you I would want custom stock rom installed. Cm is OK but eats battery compered to stock. Some custom stock roms have the cm/aokp look so you get the look but battery is still good. What do you want?
Easy fix is flash stock firmware from sammobile.com with Odin and that should sort it out and get it working. :thumbup:

OK, found one of my carrier, but I don't know where to put it (PDA, CSC, etc)
The file is called I9100UHMS8_I9100CHEMS3_I9100UHMS1_HOME.tar.md5, and it came in the zip file CHE-I9100UHMS8-20130503103606.
Do you know where should I put the file?

Stock Rom for 4.4.2

As mentioned earlier, there is no stock KK firmware for i9300.
Though you can try some of the ported ROMs. They are close enough to stock in most ways.
I prefer the unofficial CM12 roms btw
