What I am doing is downloading either of the Zips and installing the latest gapps. You should go to the ROM thread for better support on this ROM by the pershoot himself or other users of this ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787399
Installations of all ROMs are generally the same. Make sure you have CWM and I believe you need a minimum of 5.5.0.4 to flash these ROMs. After that it is as easy as booting to CWM and picking the Zips.
Hope this helps.

The ROM size is small because GApps isn't included. That adds roughly 90MB to the overall size.
Not sure about 3G...I have a WiFi tablet but there should be plenty of info in the OP and responses to answer that q for you.
On top of a full wipe, consider backing up apps so you can restore them after you're done.
If you do a full wipe from recovery you shouldn't have a problem installing any custom ROM from my experience.
You can always flash back to stock if you're not happy. Just remember that you're doing a complete wipe of everything including recovery when you flash stock firmware. You'll have to start over with flashing recovery/rooting/etc if you intend to do custom stuff again later on.
And finally...if you're rooted, your warranty is already void. Flashing back to stock and then putting back stock recovery gets you back to factory fresh with the exception of the binary counter, to my understanding. I have no idea if you can fix that off the top of my head and am not worried about it much myself at this point...browse around and see what you can find on the subject, especially if you have to return the tab for servicing etc.
Hope this helps!

1) you should take the 20120816
2) 3g is working fine
3) first: make a nandroid backup via cwm. 2nd: factory reset (wipe data/cache) and wiping dalvik
4) install the cwm found on droidbasement (from where you get the rom) via Odin - the you can flash this rom
5) yes you can
6) if you brick your tab and will be able to flash back to stock, you might get warranty. If you can't go back, you might get no warranty.
I'm you sing the 20120816 on my gt-p7501 (nearly same specs as 7500). everything works fine. only front camera doesn't work.
In the past I had send my tab to my local service center because of a defect with the display. Before I had flashed back to stock, and I had no problems with the warranty.
nice flashing

I am really starting to like this forum .. it got lots of people who help others nice to see that
as for the flashing i will do it later when i get back home

I recommend to flash a stock/official ROM to your phone.
Then root will be lost.
You can download Official ROMs from SamMobile, but you will need to register before.
Or you can have a look into Intratech's Offical Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Please read his first post carefully.
Then decide which ROM to flash.
As you want to bring it back to "normal", you should use a ROM from the second post "Official Firmwares".
Just flash the ROM using Odin - like described by Intratech.
Nothing special.
Maybe you want to wipe everything to go back to factory settings.
Then you should do a hard reset after flashing by dialing *2767*3855# into your phone's dial pad.
But you can alternatively do a factory reset in recovery mode - also after flashing the stock ROM.
Good luck !
Hey mate thanks for the reply, i backed up my original rom using rom manager flashed back to it....but i still have root and i want to remove it. Can i just flash the insecure kernel and using super one click do the job???/.....NOTE I HAVE clock work mod recovery flashed already........

[Q] Installings new ROM

hi
About 8 months ago i got my Ace (first Android-phone) and since then have been waiting for cyanogenmod to be released for Ace. Now we have an Official RC3 and i wanted to try it. I rooted my phone some time ago and just installed CWM.
I know how to install a new mod/software but their are still some question left for me:
1.) If I install a complete new Software, why is a specific android version needed to install? (in case of CM7.2 its 2.3.X). What happens "behind the scenes" of an installation. It seems very different from installing a new OS on my desktop PC.
2.) This also results in the question, why do i have to roll back to a stock rom to flash a new rom? (most devs say "Stock rom X.X.X is needed")
3.) And this also results in the question, how do i install a new version of a mod?
For example: the nightlies for CM7.2 for ace. I read that i can just flash them over their predecessor, but a "clean" installation is recommended. Does that mean to flash a stock rom, and reflash a new nightly?
I hope that are not to much questions. They might be a bit redundant but i hope i could make my points
So far a good night (or whatever timezone your living in)
A Gingerbread 2.3.X baseband is required to flash any of the CM ROM and tweaks. You need to wipe data, cache and dalvik using CWM before installing a new ROM but you don't need to go to stock and reinstall everything. It is safe to flash another ROM after installing one...
Sent from my WAREZ impulses.
1.Behind the scenes---Format System to ext > Extract System Files > Install System > Flash kernel> Done!
2.Who said you need to roll back to stock every time you want to install a custom ROM?
3.For same type of ROM(same developer, same thread) just wipe cache and you're good to go or wipe data if bootloop occurs.
So my friend, just do the wipes correctly before installing new ROM and you have wrong info that you need to revert back to stock to install new ROM. ususally GB baseband is required. Nothing else
If the system partition is still formated, why is a (e.g.) 2.3 an installation requirement? OR it just this Baseband version on the phone that is important? AND is a mod also compatible with an already "moded" version from e.g. Vodafone? because this has another versionnumber (in my case S5830XWKP6).
It seems that i have a completely wrong imagination of the working principles of my phone. i always thought it might be like installing a new OS to my desktop.
I know that i have to wipe some things in order to install a rom (even though i also read a how-to post anywhere, that said it is unneccessary, but still doing it doesnt hurt.), nothing important on my phone what couldnt be backed up via USB (pictures, etc...)
@abhibnl: "GB baseband" => Great Britain?
because of bootloader/baseband. all custom rom is based on gingerbread, thus if u coming from froyo u need to flash with gingerbread stock rom first via odin to get the bootloader/baseband. but if u already on gingerbread theres no need to reflash stock rom. just wipe data, flash via clockworkmod recovery and u good to go.
btw gb=gingerbread
so if i install CM7 MIRACLE, do full wipe, i can install CM7.2 (official) just over it?

I was asking why is it necesary to flash with Odin from CM9, 7.2 to stock ROM; isn't there other way ?
would it be possible to get back to stock by using KIES?
i know many people hate it due to high memory requirements (dont care. 4GB installed awaiting use!), but all it does is flashing official roms, right?
curious because i never used it because i have Vodafone software and they...well: new releases + Vf = ´nuff said
Kies won't recognize your phone foro flashing if it's on custom roms (or even stock roms from other regions).
Odin does practically the same process of Kies at a considerably lower memory cost.
Another method of going back to stock is if you have a cwm backup of a stock rom, but before restoring the backup you have to convert your file System to rfs. almost All (if not all) custom roms use ext4 file System cuz its faster (native to Linux).

Many ways, search the Forum. I've used the ext4 App (included in many roms with cf-root applied)

Remember it dudes, only way of getting back to stock is ODIN or restore a backup converting partition to rfs.

Hey guys,
I'd like to return to stock samsung rom, resetting the device to factory setting (keep reading).
Reason for this is
1 I'am experiencing fastidious UI lags issue.
2 I've done several "Restore factory Setting/Wipe all data" and I can see folders of applications I installed at least three roms ago (and not installed anymore). Some of them are empty, some are not.
Maybe my device is just imploding bacause of the number of apps he keeps managing.
Maybe he doesn't like me anymore,
or maybe he is dying of cancer. :crying:
Info about my device:
Kernel: Siyah 1.8.9
1st ROM: Samsung 4.1.1
2nd ROM: CM10.1, 20120117 build
Goal:
I'd like to return to Stock Kernel with the stock 4.1.2 Samsung firmware.
So, how can I REALLY reset my device, starting againg form where I indicated?

Anyone help????//??
The absolute cleanest way, is to do a mega wipe. Use Titanium Backup to save all the apps you want/need (NO SYSTEM APPS). Then, Factory Reset/Wipe Data, wipe internal sd card and wipe external sd (if you have one). Backup all pictures, photos and files you want on your pc first, then wipe everything. The Megawipe script can help you with this. Follow up by downloading one of the new 4.1.2 deodexed roms (Preferably LKC or LLA). You can keep the stock kernel or choose from my main 2 - Perseus Kernel or Yank kernel
Umh.. I'm not sure I got it.
First, I should remove Siyah kernel and the second ROM right?
How can I do it?
Will the Siyah Kernel be overwritten when I'll write the Stock Samsung 4.1.2 firmware?

Yes.
There is a sticky .
One run Triangle Away reset rom counter to zero .
Two flash your original saved stock rom Via Odin = wipes phone .
Three factory reset .
Four boot to download mode check status original and count is 0.
Boot phone settings about phone Status device status not modified .
Finally check there are no left over root apps on the phone .

Need detailed info on this, anyone willing to help?
all the details are there for you to read
Thank you, anyway I'd like to advise that flashing via Odin doesn't format anything.
Step 0 is: Do a full data wipe (if you do it after triangle remover, I think counter will be incremented to 1, not tried though... )

Now im ****ed up! Im stuck at boot logo (samsung) need urgent help. it all happens after installing font installer. My phone was rooted. I want a clean format and i ended at this problem.
sometime flashing rom and than flah another rom may cause lag even the rom are really smooth. Try this, it work for me. Wipe Data, Cache Partition, Clear dalvike cache, format system and format preload. As far as i know, preload where it chaching framework. Sometime when flashing and keep flashing rom that different framework, the cache still there. that may cause lag.

If you want a clean install, without lags, I'd recommend not messing about with the fonts. Try running it stock for a while and see if your lags have gone, before fiddling with it.

[Q] Return phone to stock for sale

Hi Folks,
I am selling my GS3 to Mazuma mobile for £90 & need to return the phone to stock samsung rom from the custom rom I'm using at the moment (Fusion 2.0.6)
1 Use philz recovery to do full phone wipe & also the install new rom wipe.
2 Use Odin to flash the last UK BTU stock rom MK6.
3 Possibly use TriangleAway to get rid of the red exclamation mark when phone first boots.
4 Possibly flash stock rom again to be sure.
Are those steps ok or is there anything else I will need to do?
Would really appreciate quick reply as I will be wiping & flashing stock tomorrow before posting to Mazuma the same day.
Cheers.

Download official stock rom for your region, wipe data/cache from recovery, put phone in Download mode, close Kies from Task Manager, start Odin, connect phone to PC and flash stock rom. After the flashing process is done enter recovery and make wipe data/cache and then reboot. Use triangle away to clear the binary count + the exclamation mark. If it needs root permission flash a custom kernel to gain root and then re-run triangle away. After clearing the binary count and exclamation sign you can re-flash the stock rom. Make another wipe data/cache after flashing it and you should be good to go
Goodluck mate !!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Cheers for the reply AlexVat
Was kinda hoping it wasn't going to be so complicated lol, I assume when I flash stock rom with Odin that will wipe Philz recovery & just have the stock one?
Could it be possible to run triangle away first then then just flash stock rom?
All replies appreciated
Well triangle away didn't work when I ran that first & it didn't even reboot into it's custom recovery, also thought I borked my Samsung 32gb SD card, used my S3 to erase it after copying everything off it I needed but it then wouldn't mount again. Tried it in PC & kept getting write protected error when trying to format it.
As last resort I fired it into my Sony Z2 & it said it was corrupted, tapped the message & it then fixed what ever was wrong with it & formatted it. Will just flash stock rom tomorrow morning & fire it to them, from what I see online they don't really care if it was rooted.
All done, custom binary says no & stock BTU MK6 rom installed, will get posted tomorrow & will have £90 in my bank by Sat
Also getting replacement Z2 due to gaps, over heating & camera being off centre, will be checking it fully & using built in diagnostics to make sure screen has no dead pixels etc.
Mods can close this thread if they wish, many thanks to AlexVat for the help

[Q] With ROM I have to choose?

Hi guys,
I'm new here. I didn't root my S3 yet, but I want to do it and install new rom. But first I would need your help with Rom choosing, as I'm completely blind in this matter
The thing is, I would prefer a ROM which let me choose which application I want to install on my phone and which not - check/uncheck option. This rom should be FAST and stable.
As I have no experience at all, I would like to ask you which ROM will be the best for me? Btw, it would be great if I can choose language (Polish).
Hope you will help me
Regards,
Karol
edit: sorry for typo in the topic, impossible to change it now
Hi, I am in the same boat. Stock standard international S3, but extremely slow. Ram usage on startup is 700mb.
Which rom would you guys suggest that is both stable (no bugs), and fast (using much less ram).
This is my everyday phone, I take a lot of photos, especially the camera should be functioning perfectly.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Edit: Last time I rooted and played around with these things were about 3-4 years ago with my Sony X10 mini. I am slowly getting back into it, reading up on the latest rooting apps etc.
@errolpl: Search in development subforum for 'aroma installer'. Usually these ROMs offer only system apps to choose. 3rd party user apps you'll have to install by your own. You can edit the header with edit-function.
@demozzracy: If you want full camera suport, I recommend NCS-ROM: based on last JB-firmware, but brilliant debloated. So slim, fast, battery friendly and all hardware working. I'm testing many LP-ROMs, but they are primarily newer, hardly better (for S3).
@rp158: Thank you!
I was extremely new just a few weeks back as well. I must say that my attempts on finding a solution for my slow S3 has been a rather hard and bumpy road.
To help you save some time, here is what I've gathered so far:
Last time I flashed phone firmware, a couple of years ago, it required a PC, a cable and some funky software.
Then when I flashed my S3 for the first time, about a year ago, I started out with Cyanogenmod and used their app+cable installer. I think this is still the easiest way to root the phone, and get started with custom roms. Even if you plan to use some other rom than Cyanogenmod.
When the phone is rooted you can install TWRP, simply done via an app on the appstore. TWRP is recovery firmware that can stay on the phone, even though you flash new roms. (The phone is divided into several separate sections, bootloader, recovery, actual system, and data area.... I don't even know much about it yet.) The important part is that it is extremely easy to flash new roms using this tool, and a micro SD-card.
Simply drop the rom zip file onto the card and flash them. (For some roms you need to flash some "GAPPS" as well. These are the google apps, like the play store etc. If you don't flash them you can't really use the phone for much.)
This is where the real problems start. Finding the right ROM.
The S3 is old, and only supported up to Jelly Bean for my 1GB international version, or Kitkat if you have one of the 2gb versions.
This has not stopped developers in providing both Kitkat and Lollipop to any version of the S3. However... as eager they are to provide the newest coolest features, just as lazy do they seem to be with their testing. (Sorry guys, but someone has to say it.)
So I've gone through some roms now... none of them really good.
The first Official Cyanogenmod I flashed half a year ago. I used this for almost a year.. but the camera would crash constantly, and the phone was not able to display video. For example movieclips on facebook.
Second ROM: Cyanogenmod has also stopped developing for the S3, so a few weeks back I switched to some unofficial version. It seemed to work... camera and video was ok, and everything had the nice Lollipop feel to it.
However MMS did not work. I could receive one and send one, next ones would require a reboot for them to work. The problem was brought up in the ROM Q/A tread, but the answer from the developer was: Sorry I don't use MMS so I don't really see a problem.
Third: Onto some next rom. This one was tagged STABLE. It was far from it. In fact it was even easier to discover that this rom had the same MMS problem. Because the message app would crash immediately when trying to send one.
4th attemt was the same rom, but a different kernel... still the same problem.
5th rom was Blisspop... Wau, this was beautiful! Cool webpage, Cool animations.... it was just too bad that the site is dead, and that the rom can't even run for 24 hours without the android keyboard crashing 25 times or so. Also Blisspop has OTA updates... the only problem is that it constantly says that there is a new version for the S3.. but the download fails. Apparently some bad change to the website caused this, and apparently this problem has been going on for 3 months without anyone bothering to fix it.
6th was Archidroid. The second to top ROM for the S3. It looks cool, and has many features... but just as other Lollipop ROMs, sending MMS's without error is not one of them....
I've really tried everything. People always says that the MMS problems are due to APN's not being set up correctly, doing some reboots etc.... but trust me... I've set them up so many times you wouldn't belive it.
7th. After reading this thread and rp158's recommendation of NCS-ROM I'm now running that one. Without a single thing being set up, I was able to send and receive MMS's right away.
However... now I'm stuck back at the ugly kitkat look, and Touch wiz.
tl;dr;
So what do I want to say with all this?
Get root and TWRP and start playing around with ROMs
Lollipop does not look like an option for the S3, at least not right now
Don't let yourself be fooled by nice webpages or [STABLE]-tags, or comments that say: "I've been running this since yesterday.. it's 100% stable!"
Timusius thanks a lot for that post.
Puts things in perspective.
As I said in my post, I am ok with the KitKat look, as long as it is stable, I am always on call at work, and cant afford constant phone crashes.
I am going to try the root/twrp to NCS rom in the next couple of days
@Timusius thank you for your post. You help me a lot!

1. Install ClockworkMod(or PhilZ) recovery
2. Put ROM on your SD card
3. Enter recovery mode
4. Perform a full data wipe(except you're running previous versions of back-to-n00t)
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash SuperSU

perform a full data wipe means "Factory reset"?
How to flash rom? It's included in the recovery mode?
How to flash SuperSU?

yeah this means doing a "Factory reset", must be done throught Recovery mode, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Put ROM on your SD card, then enter Recovery Mode by pressing Home + Volume UP + Power buttons and ull have smth like:
Install Zip -> Choose Zip from /Storage/Sdcard (External SDcard) , Search for ur ROM file and start flashing :X
Flash the SuperSu .zip file same way as flashing ROM.
