Hello there, this is my first day with my Samsung Galaxy S III. Coming from the Nexus, x user of S1, S2, Note.
On my Touchwiz rom days, When switching between Touchwiz & AOSP roms, used not to be directly successful. So is it the same case on my S III now ? Like when flashing an AOSP rom, when reverting back, what are the required steps? Thank you. Enjoying this device, the display is just AWESOME
all you have to do is make a factory reset in cwm and flash a zipped custom rom or simply put your mobile in download mode and flash the stock rom via odin.
I just flashed CM10 from Stock 4.0.4 Touchwiz rom. So now basically, if I want to flash a Jelly Bean Touchwiz rom, I just flash in CWM? And when I want to go back from Jelly Bean to AOSP, same thing? - Just trying to avoid bootloops and using Odin or such...TY

Yes you can flash back and forth..........just make sure you WIPE WIPE WIPE correctly. so you do NOT have those issues.
believe it or not improper or not fully wiping your phone before flashing a new rom are alot of the reasons why some people have bugs that others do not.

Hi guys,
I have tried looking for answer to this question but cudnt and gave up in the end.
I currently have GT-I9100 Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.2 [AOKP JB (4.1.2) and want to install Omega v17 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 which i believe is based on samsung XXLSJ.
Do i have to follow certain steps to go from AOKP to samsung based roms or just can just install it directly from recovery.
Thanks.
Avi
Its a great opportunity to learn. Make a backup, flash and try to use it.
The thing is, unless the people who made the ROM dont state explicitly, its really hard to ensure it will work.

Have a look at the OP from the rom-thread. Almost always there are descriptions for how to flash it.
And to make it a little easier: changing roms between AOKP, AOSP or Samsung based roms allways need a full wipe, plus the OP's own recommended steps for flashing.

Most of the time standard 3 steps would be back up, full-wipe, then flash the new rom + gapps.
In case of any failure, you can still restore the back-up-ed rom.

if you want a stock rom, you can flash jelly bean 4.1.2 from odin. if you want AOSP ROMs, you can flash CM10.1, Paranoid Android etc. if you want a rom based on stock rom, theres android revolution HD and Omega rom. go to the android development and original android development, you can find a lot of things there

yes, you can do it, open recovery make full wipe and flash your favourite ron
So i have X-treme ROM which is android version 4.2.2, and i want to switch to OMEGA ROM which is samsung base 4.1.2. but it seems to stuck on the loading screen. and yes, i did wipe data and factory reset and cashe and dalvik cashe (sorry if i spelled that wrong). now im not asking that omega isnt working. (i would then go ask the developer) im asking that, does upgrading to 4.2.2 prevents to switch back to 4.1.2? because it didnt also happened to me with OMEGA, but with others ROMS that have sammy base. and i also tried to flash 4.1.2 with odin all new clear without any root and ROM. but didnt work. so, does 4.2.2 prevent me to switch back to 4.1.2?
I have the same issue. MIUIv5 is based on 4.1.2 stock too and it does boot up. I think you could give a shot restoring a stock rom and flashing rom from base

I tried that too. didnt work
Whenever I flash any AOSP based rom and then try to revert back to Samsung based roms I lose the telephone functionality i.e I'm unable to hear people when on a call. This can only be resolved by flashing stock rom via Odin and then flashing recovery followed by custom rom.
I really don't know the reason as I've used AOSP based roms frequently on my galaxy r and never faced this issue.
I do a full wipe followed by system format before moving from AOSP to Samsung based roms.
For Instance: I flashed PAC rom and for some reason wanted to go back to Omega rom. So I took a backup etc , wiped data , caches and system and flashed the rom. Everything else works but no voice on call unless I flash stock ROM via odin.
Any input will be appreciated.

No. Once I flash the stock rom via odin for instance xxemc3 and then flash custom recovery and install the rom via cwm it works.
My point is that why do I have to take the step of flashing the rom via odin and then installing the rom? This problem only occurs when I move from AOSP based roms to sammy based ones.
When I move from samsung based custom to another samsung based custom [omega rom to null ] it does not occur and neither does it occur during a switch between AOSP based roms.

Nope. None of that.
Stupidly I updated to jelly bean through the Asus ota a while back and have recently decided it is sluggish and terrible. I have root and a custom recovery (TWRP) but it seems flashing an ICS ROM will give me a soft brick.
This isn't urgent, I can restore back to jelly bean using my back ups. But is there anything special that needs to be done to revert back to ICS?
I have been doing what I think is kind of the usual for flashing Roms .
Full wipe
Flash ROM
Flash gapps

From my limited experience with Tf201, I read that to avoid a brick its important to flash the correct bootloader and recovery first? Not sure which though. You can also install Nvflash for Jellybean TF201 which apparently makes the device ’unbrickable’, theres a thread on this forum how to do it. Also, before you downgrade, try the unofficial cyanogenmod 4.3 jelly bean rom. Its very smooth and fast compared to the ota official Asus official JB, which is terrible as you said.

You cannot go back to ICS unless you have nvflash backups.
You can now create nvflash backups while you are on Jellybean tho which you couldn't do before.
I would advise trying one of the Hairybean Roms which is a big improvement over stock. If you do not want to go to the latest one you can flash Hairybean 1.51 which will flash ok on your bootloader and recovery without you changing anything.
