Hi,
First of all I am a total noob in rooting Android. I have just bought a used Prime which has not the original software but the Cyanogenmod 9.
I would like to revert to original Asus software so as to have my google apps (play etc). Is this possible and if yes how?
thank you in advance

Check and see if you have clockworkmod folder on internal if that is there then check the backup folder and see if there is anything in there... Now I wouldn't suggest going back to the backup but you can download Virtuous rom which is close to stock and install it instead
If its just the Google apps you need then just flash a gapps package in clockwork mod, which is probably already installed if you have cm9
My problem is not only I lost all the Asus software (eg Polaris Office), but also he ability to install everything through the google play. My device is not recognized in the play web site and I have to install first the google apps!

thx for the reply first of all!
Is not possible to just download the firmwares from the Asus site and install them?
If yes how can I do this?
Flashing stock rom from asus will result in unrecoverable brick. However you can flash this if you want to get as close to stock as possible you can flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827

Download this zip file(Almost stock) [dl dropbox com/u/27023946/AlmostStock_9.4.2.21.zip"] to your internal SD-card preferably in the Download folder.
Then go to your ClockWork Mod recovery or TWRP recovery. Wipe Dalvik cache and Factory Reset and then Install zip from SD-card. Choose the zip you placed in the download folder and click yes.
After a while you can Reboot to System. That's it! Good as new.
Hi,
thank you for all the replies.
I see u have suggested two roms:
1) AlmostStock_9.4.2.21.zip
2) AndroWook Prime Stock Rooted ICS 9.4.2.21
Any reason to prefer the one over the other?
Regards

So you're not stuck in a bootloop, but it boots recovery every time you restart? I can send you a .zip to flash that will get you out of the bootloop - can you push files to the internal sd card?
You bought this used? Whoever sold it to you really should have flashed gApps along with CM9, if you can't get it to work, I would contact him/her and ask to have it fixed if you can't do it yourself. That's a pretty bad way to sell a used product! Sorry, good luck.

any idea how to remove it from the t-mobile vivacity?
Hey guys,
I am completely new to this whole topic so I read several hours and finally came up with a plan for what to do to install omega when my Galaxy S3 i9300 (my first android phone) will arrive tomorrow.
If you spot any mistakes I would make (also in the files I plan on using), please correct me!
1. Upgrading to Jellybean with Kies
2. Installing CWM (File name is CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5 - It's a .tar) via Odin 3.0.4 in download mode- I think I know how to do that
3. Rebooting in Recovery mode and creating a Backup File with CWM - I think I know how to do that
4. Saving the Backup file from the clockworkmod\backup folder on my PC
5. Rebooting in recovery mode and wiping data, cache and dalvik cache - I think I know how to do that
5. Copying the .zip file of Omega to (a folder called root??) internal SD-Card folder of the Galaxy S3 (File name is I9300_Omega_v31_XXDLJ4_Jelly_Bean)
6. Rebooting in recovery mode again and selecting “install zip from SD card” to install the Omega zip
7. Customize like a boss
done
(optional)
8. Realize something doesn't work properly and spam the forums with QQ threads OR Realize I bricked my brand new phone and cry furiously
Thanks in advance for letting me know if my plan needs adjustment

NO NO not a folder called root . Just place on your sd card .
6. Rebooting in recovery mode again and selecting “install zip from SD card” to install the Omega zip
YES
Fails to boot first time one it make take a while for first boot boot stuck recovery and factory reset .

Flash recovery
Do factory reset, than wipe dalvik.
Than flash Omega.
Finally reboot and enjoy
But I'm recommending InsertCoin, because it is easy theamble with better themes, very stable (still haves some problems, but reboot solves them), mostly no lags, good memory managing.

Hey,
thanks for your answer! I have to install jellybean first if I want to install a ROM for Jellybean, right? So I guess that's not explicitly in the instructions but it's still a requirement?? Or does Omega install Jellybean itself?
I am really not sure, but I think I have to install Jellybean first.

It worked! Thanks alot!
(For other beginners: I put the Omega zip file on an external sd card, not sure if it works with the internal one. Works without upgrading to Jellybean first.)
Hi guys,
Im new to android and flashing roms. I'm having trouble flashing a ROM after I did superwipe. Im on Jellybean 4.1.1.
Here's what I did before the super wipe.
1. Installed CWM 6.0.1.2
2. Rooted my phone. I even checked it with a root checker application and it said that I was rooted.
3. Copied Superwipe and Android revolution hd 14.0 to my internal SDcard.
4. Went to recovery mode and installed superwipe.
After the superwipe install, I was suppose to go back to choose zip from sd card but it said FILE NOT FOUND.
I already searched the forums but none were specific to my case or it didnt give me the answer. I also searched google and found that I can copy my ROM to my phone using Android SDK but I have no idea what I'm doing.
Can anyone help me? Currently stuck at CWM recovery menu.

Because Super wipe format your internal SD card
1 though odin flash stock rom and root again
2 push the rom in external sd and insert in your device than flash

I think these are the best steps:
1) First make sure that Clockworkmod Recovery in installed. If no then first go install clockworkmod recovery on Samsung galaxy S3
2) Download the CM10.2 & GApps zip from above link.
3) Place those zip on to your SD CARD.
4) Boot into CWM Recovery mode.
5) Select Install Zip from sd card >
6)Choose zip from sdcard.
7) Now first install the CM10.2 zip from sdcard.
8) Then install GApps zip from sdcard.
9) Now back to Main recovery menu & select Wips data/factory reset. (MUST)
10) Select Reboot
or you coud just download an app for installing cyanogenmod from their web page

Give a thank if I helped you.
I'm looking to install LG's official Korean KitKat ROM on my Optimus G. I noticed that it's been unofficially ported to the international variants (E975, E971...) here. I was wondering that since the AT&T variant is a bit different (lower-res camera, SD card slot), would it be safe to install or would I encounter any issues? I have flashed Epsilon Project before and I did not have access to the camera or LTE. I went back to CyanogenMod shortly after that. If I were to install this KDZ, would I encounter the same sorts of problems?
Thanks in advance.

There are plenty of tutorials online, but here are the instructions:
1. Reboot into recovery (in your case TWRP)
2. Tap "install"
3. Browse the filesystem for the zip you want to install and select it
4. If you want to add additional zips, tap "add more zips" and repeat step 3 until you have all the zips
5. Swipe to flash the zips
A side note, it's generally a good idea to wipe /system and the dalvik cache when switching ROMs. Also, TWRP has issues on my device with flashing CM11, so if you're planning on installing that I recommend ClockworkMod instead.

Thanks a lot. Like you said, I installed CWM and successfully flashed the firmware. Phone runs smooth now.
Only thing I would like to change is the default ringtones. There are many Korean ones in the default list. Can I somehow change them to English ones?

Other than finding where they are located and renaming them, no.
