I am new to the world of Samsung (previously a HTC Developer), I would like to flash a Stock Jelly Bean rom to my Galaxy S3.
I understand that software is required with Samsung's and you cannot use Clockword Mod recoveries to erase and flash roms etc..
Could someone tell me if there are any stock jelly beans out there? I am referring to ones without Touchwiz and S Junk - just generic Google stuff.
Maybe with S Voice.
Please Reply Soon.
Clockwork recovery works just fine with Samsungs, flash cf-root to root and get cwm recovery.
Then check out supernexus ROM, cm10 or liquid smooth jelly bean ROM.
If you want to try out a leaked touchwiz jelly bean ROM there are loads of leaks.

Thanks man, btw is there anyway to have Google Chrome as your default browser rather than 'Internet'. I mean like - no internet there at all.
Get a root explorer and go to /system/app and delete secBrowser.apk
That'll get rid of it.

Noob question probably with a simple answer but i am a little confused so i'll ask.
I recently rooted my S3 and flashed the latest omega rom and siyah kernel, all is good for now.
I am on Android version 4.0.4, my question is when Jelly Bean is released and i want to update to it how do i go about it? Do i need to flash stock rom/firmware and upgrade via kies/OTA?
If i flash a Jelly Bean rom just now will my android version change to 4.1 or will i just have the jelly bean rom running on ICS
If someone could please explain it would be much appreciated, thanks.
U need 2 flash stock/official rom to get OTA updates from Samsung.
And if u flash Jelly beans then it wont be running upon ICS.
Ur version will change to 4.1 if u flash JB
Custom rom will also be JB based .

When jb is released you just download the firmware from sammobile.com and flash with odin. No need to go back to stock.

if i update to jellybean, will flash player be no longer available?
am guessing stock jellybean will not allow the use of flash player, but what is the possibility of flash player working with a custom rom like cyongen jellybean allow flashplayer.
also is there currently any hacked flash player apps fully working as normal with jellybean.
thanks
On stock browser on 4.1.2 flash player work, but you must find the correct JB apk

If tour in a stock lsj jelly bean leak ROM just install the flash apk
The normal apk works fine on any jelly bean rom afaik, it just won't appear in the play store anymore.

yeah, i want to know also
Yes, I think that's possible using ODIN. I'm not entirely sure though, maybe root is required. In any case, JellyBean is ICS with a bunch of useful improvements. So if you like ICS, you'll only like JellyBean more.
Yes it is possible and most of the times it does not require root. Google shipped roms for your phone and download the ics one.

Yes, guys u can. Just download the ICS stock rom for your device from the net and flash it via odin and it does not require root but there are chances of a BRICK.
If u want that guide for your device then contact me.

Hi to all,
I am newbee to android. After using HTC One V for few months I purchased Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from UAE. It was running Jellybean 4.1.2 having Modem XXLS8. On a fine day for the requirement of built in call recording I rooted my phone and managed to install Omega Rom V23.
All went smooth. But next day I realised that Hindi fonts are not properly displaying and I made a big mistake to flash Omega Rom again. This time I stucked in BootLoop . Everything tried. Finally I gave up
I thought flashing back may work so I flashed available stock Gingerbird rom via odin. Now system is back running Stock Gingerbird Android with modem XXKI4. Then I tried to update GB to JB via OTA and Kies, But OTA and kies refused to update software.
Please give me any solution to get back my 4.1.2 version or tell me any idea to get Custom Rom Omega V23. Will it safe to flash Omega V23 4.1.2 directly on current 2.3.6 rom with Philz latest kernels?

Yes you can, you're gonna have to root it tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. Can I root present 2.3.6 Gingerbird and Install Custom Rom Omega v23 4.1.2 directly? Or I have to reinstall stock version 4.1.2 over current 2.3.6 Gingerbird?

Well, the latest CMW version might be better, is not mandatory to go 4.1.2 tho.

I am not getting it. Please spoon feed me. I will be in debt.
I tried following steps:
I download Omega V23 custom rom and kernel - PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSN-OXX-4.93.6-signed and placed it on SDCard. After going into stock recovery I applied Philz Kernel via Stock Recovery. But getting error in red-
E:Failed to verify whole file signature
E:Signature verification failed
Please give me any solution. I dont have enough previlage to post into Android Development Forum as I am newbee here.

I guess you did not make backup of your original ROM... i would recommend that you install ics first before installing jb or custom jb roms... you can get stock ones samfilmware.. when try installing omega ROM again make sure you back your ROM this time so will not start all over again if a problem occurs at any time had same problem bootloop because of the kernel that was installed just did a full wipe fixed it for me and reinstall over again

Yepp..You are not getting it. System is running GingerBread with Stock Recovery. I can make backup in CWM recovery only. But right now my problem is that Philz Kernel is not installing. It will give me CWM Recovery and it will root the device. Any solution for above error??

Hi I've flashed my s2 with sentinel rom (basically cyanogenmod) so it's like a nexus 4 and I would quite like to flash a stock rom but not like the s2 rom like is there a way to flash an s3/s4 stock rom to my phone? :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No. Pls don't flash a rom that's not made for your phone as you will probably brick it. Look in Android development for what you want
I double dare you to try it.
Is there a way that I can go back to my original stock rom test it out and if I don't like it go back to my flashed rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
Make a nandroid backup from you current rom und flash an other rom. If its not fit you can restore your backup
Maybe you have to flash the kernel that you used to make the backup before you restoring.
Basically I want jelly bean but the stock version. Currently I'm using a rom that is jelly beans but is like a nexus 4 but I want the Samsung features. Thanks

Hi,
i know, you wrote on OP sentinal rom. Just make a backup from your current rom in the recovery. And then you go to the download modus and flash a stock rom via odin. If you dont like it, flash a recovery and restore your backup.
Easy
Ok! Where can I get the stock rom from and can it be jelly bean? I know that when you buy the new s2s they have 4.1.2 installed! And how to you flash a recovery? Everything else I know.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Okay... do you flash the sentinel rom oder someone else? If you did it than you have to know what the recovery is. It the menue that comes up when you hold VolUp+Home+Power and boot. There ist an option "Backup and restore".
Here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ you can get the official stock roms, just search for I9100. To download you have to register, its free
Andi
Get your stock rom from samfirmware. Just scroll down and download the required Android version. You can get temporary recovery from recovery tools in play store or if you want permanent recovery you gotta flash a custom kernel.
