Wifi to work in AOSP - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's been well documented on here that in order for wifi to work on AOSP ROM's you need to flash an ICS ROM first then go back so im downloading Omega 13.1 now but my question is do i have to actually be connected to wifi when flashing the ICS ROM or can i just have it enabled and do i need to flash using Odin or can i use CWM,i then want to go back to Liquid Jellybean, can someone please post the necessary steps i need to take.
Cheers

I went straight from LI8 to liquid 2.0 Rc3 and wifi works just fine.

oh really, ok i was under the impression that i had to flash an ICS ROM first, i tried wifi tethering on Liquid Jelly Bean and it wont work but it works fine with Dragon 1.7 ROM

Haven't used wifi tethering but that may be a rom issue.

Hellybean Initial necessary?

Hi. When I changed from ICS to hellybean, I forgot to flash the initial package. I've updated the ROM from 805 to 806 and now to 807. Everything seems to be running fine which made me question was the initial zip necessary at all?

No, just if you're comming from the other rom. It's working? Relax and enjoy!

It was if you came from ICS, which I think you did, so reflash

Flashing Question

Do I need to worry about how many times I flash my device? will it get bad or something like the motherboard go bad? I just got this phone used yesturday and want to know if i need to wory as this isnt a brand brand new ive already flashed it more than three times trying too chose the best rom and im kinda worried.
No need to worry, just make sure you wipe data and caches before installing a new rom. Let the phone sit for at least ten minutes after flashing too, then reboot. Just a heads up, stay away from ICS roms, they have the EU bug that renders your internal sd card useless.

ICS is 4.0, jelly bean is 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3. I can't say which version that ROM is, been awhile since I've messed with ROMs. Go to settings then about phone and see what your firmware version is. If your on 4.0 then you should upgrade to jelly bean immediately, JB doesn't have the EU bug.

Running an nontw 4.3 ROM after MJ9 firmware

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install the pacman paranoid 3.99 rom on my note 2 but whenever I install it, I get no signal or internet connectivity. I can turn on WiFi though. I already tried using the latest cwm, twrp and philz but none of them work.
My note 2 was unlocked back in 2012 when vraljb was out and I recently flashed the mj9 firmware to run alliancerom.
Anyone have any idea how to flash a 4.3 non tw ROM after upgrading to MJ9?
Do I have to Odin back to 4.1.2 (like vraljb) in order for it to work properly?
Or is my phone just acting up and people are able to go back and forth between nontw 4.3 ROMs, 4.3 tw ROMs and 4.4.2 non tw ROMs freely?
Thanks in advance!

I would have to say its your phone.. I am able to go back and forth with no issues.. You sure no one else on that ROM is experiencing those issues?
I flop back and forth from Nebula to PA 4.4.2

I can swap between AOSP 4.4.2 roms and TW 4.3 roms, but not AOSP 4.3 and the other two.
However, I was able to get PACMAN 4.3 running fine, so I'm okay. Strange that the others don't work though..

I wanted to go back to 4.3 AOSP for a few reasons
4.3 is the last version of android with browser reflow
Pacman and paranoid roms have halo built in, and runs smoother than xhalofloatingwindows
:good: thanks for replying!
