I am use to ROM flashing my Eris with Amon_RA Recovery. I have never used Rom Manager or ClockworkMod Recoverry to flash ROMs. Will someone point me in the right direction on where the best tutorial thread is at.....? I believe that is what eveyone here in TB section is using.
Have you rooted your Tbolt yet? If so it's fairly simple.
1 Flash CWM to your phone via ROM MAnager
2 Place ROM on your SD card
3 Perform backup via RM
4 From RM choose to install ROM from SD card
5 Select Wipe date (if you choose to of course)
6 Hit ok
Thanks!

Thanks! That seems easy enough. Is #5 Select "Wipe date" or "Wipe data"?

if you chose to flash a rom through rom manager, one you chose your rom, it will have a box you can select that says to wipe data.
personally I refuse to do this as CWM still is a bit wonky for the TB. I prefer to manually go into CWM and wipe data a twice, cache twice, and delvik cache twice.

This is where I am confused... I have a rooted Tbolt. I have CWM and ROM Manager installed (from the rooting instructions).
I have the ROM I want downloaded to my SD card, but it's just the original name of the ROM (The-Perfect-Storm-v1.0-signed.zip). So do i have to rename this?
then do I just go into CWM and... how do I get this into the recovery mode to backup?
I have read like 75 threads and everyone seems to know all this already so the questions are either SUPER specific or they glance over steps that a COMPLETE ROM N00B (such as me) would need to know.
I would really appreciate a mite more details in the steps. Thanks a ton!!

EDIT *BIGTIME*
Just went looking for CWM, and guess what??? ITS IN ROM MANAGER *facepalm*
this answers a LOT. Like the button that says "Reboot into recovery"
This is why I need a self-edit button.
*Edit 2* new ROM flashed perfectly.
uhhh. I take it should reboot into a recovery ROM. What if it only reboots to the CWR screen again?
I am currently running VirusROM and have attempted to flash dasBAMF 1.3.2 twice now. Both times the kernel doesn't flash, I loose root, and hangs on the "Android" screen when I reboot forcing a battery pull. I am downloading the .zip file, placing it on the root of my SD card and flashing via CWM. I choose to wipe data each time. Any suggestions guys? Thanks so much for your help.
I'm thinking that CWM isn't fully wiping my data and cache. Could this simply be the case? I'm waiting to try flashing again until I get some suggestions. Its such a pain to get root access and recover each time.
Okay, So.. As the title says, i have googled for DAYS, Tried every damn thing i could get my hands on..
Now.
So far, im able to get into download mode, and also into recovery mode, I've tried doing a factory reset, and then flashing a stock rom, and i've tried every concevable method of fixing this damned phone, Its driving me crazy, I flash a new rom with odin, phone reboots, (adds to count) and is STILL stuck at that ****ty flashing samsung logo..
I'd really appreciate ANY help i can get, And i AM a noob at this, So i dont FULLY understand EVERY detail of this, But i've read around enough to know a few things.
My SGS3 has been out of commision for longer than i've actually used it.. So.. Yeah, Getting quite desperate!
Please let me know if there are any particular details yyou need!
Hi,
Your problem is EFS.IMG
Please clear it. Use Odin3 for that.
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, after you've flashed your ROM.
I had your problem some weeks ago,I finally managed to get arround this after I deleted the dalvik cache and flashed stock rom trough odin,and worked like a charm :good:
try this first before thinking of efs errors!

Again, Please elaborate, How do i go about doing this, I've never seen an option to delete the 'Dalvik cache'
Thank so damn much for the help so far guys, i really appreciate it!
Cam't really help you with the EFS, but:
-bootloops are often fixed by installing rom then wiping data+cache from recovery as others said
-the dalvik cache can be wiped in the recovery, you can find "wipe dalvik cache" under the advanced submenu

Im in recovery mode right now (Vol UP+ Home + Power)? And i dont see an 'Advanced' menu option;
Options i DO have: reboot system now; apply update from ADB; apply update from external storage; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache parition;
apply update from cache..
Any ideas?
These options are only available in a custom recovery.
Just try wipe --> flash stock room --> wipe

i just want to clarify... when you say 'flash STOCK rom' Do you mean i need to get a rom for a SGS3 VAU (Vodafone Asutralia) and flash that (go to odin, put it in PDA, etc)
and if THAT is the case.. Where would i get said rom, Because i've downloaded it from sammy firmware 4 times, each time it finishes the download without a hitch, when i go to extract the zip to get the needed files, it says its corrupted or some such BS..
Go to Sam mobile and download the firmware mate.
You will end up with a tar md5 file you flash using PDA section of Odin.
Good luck!

Kies is by far the easiest and safest way to factory reset. I have had to use it about 3 times in the past 6 months because I have flashed something I shouldn't have. Plus Kies now has a lite mode that is quicker at flashing your phone back to stock firmware.

Slightly puzzled by you not having an "advanced" menu option. Which CWM version do you have?
Okay guys it seems ive fixxed my s3, after 4 long months lol..
What i did:
Installed Kies, Got my phone into download mode, Let kies to a PROPER wipe of the phone, (Phone, pds, csc) and it just ****ing straight up fixed everything...now i just need to find a thread that shows me how to COMPLETELY backup my ENTIRE phone, Every damn fkn Kb.. And ill be rooting it again lol
Thanks everyone!
I installed gapps-2013-03-01 from here http://goo.im/gapps on CM10.1 from here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=fascinatemtd following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070, letting the phone boot after CM installation, but no apps show up. How do I make the Play Store/Market show up?
It looks like nobody knows. What do I do now? I need Google Apps to make this phone worth using...
What you do mean letting the phone boot after CM installation? Just install CM10.1 and flash Gapps directly after and then boot the phone. If it still doesn't show up then something went wrong, and you might need to start fresh from Odin.
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Reboot back into recovery,, choose that zip to install,, and then reboot ROM when finished,,,
With cm10.1 you may have to enable in developer options,, the advanced reboot menu,,
You may also have to enable developer options,,,
In "about phone" scroll down to "build number “ then tap repeatedly about 7-10 times till it says you've enabled it
If none of that works,,, from powered off do "3 finger boot" into recover and continue

I tried installing gapps right after the OS, and I got a bunch of force closes and it was frozen at the lock screen indefinitely. I've tried starting fresh from Odin and redoing the entire installation, with the same results.
That's the gapps version I've been trying to use Crawshayi, and it doesn't do anything. I also tried gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and that one didn't work either. I don't have any problems with the 3-finger recovery booting.
Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate it. Any other ideas?
Maybe try one these gapps
http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Domination/Domination-Gapps-June-10-13.zip
This one uses the aroma installer,,, you get to choose which individual apps to install,,, very nice
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/finish/383-addons/2874-aio-aroma-4-2-2-build-6-x
you should install the correct gapps for your rom.

I just tried flashing both of those zips (I had to google the second one because that link wanted a site referral), and still nothing's showing up.
Well, i suggest you boot to recovery,,, do a "wipe data/factory reset"
Then, while still in recovery, flash the original gapps (jb - 20130301)
This is the method for gapps install::
:: Install zip from sdcard
:: Choose zip from sdcard
:: scroll to gapps file/select
:: confirm yes to install
:: reboot system

I've tried this. More ideas?
Well if you don't want to try that again,,, do a factory reset/data wipe, reinstall ROM of choice and reinstall the newest gapps zip

I've done this already, three times. I doubt a fourth time will change anything.
Only thing else i can say is to odin back to eh03 and back up to cm10.1,,, following the steps in section 4 exactly as listed (print it out and cross off list as you go along) so you don't miss anything or add any unnecessary steps..
Something somewhere is not right with installation..

Done, and still no play store.
Try a different sd card if possible and/or usb cable. If either of those are malfunctioning it would cause strange issues like this.

For rooting your NK1, just follow the direction in the OP.\
---
1. Take the NK1 OTA update.
2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).
3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key) and Flash the I545_NC5_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
4. Open Towelroot from your app drawer and press "Make it Rain" to root your device.
5. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again and flash the I545_NK1_Stock_Kernel also using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
6. Download SuperSU to manage root access. Done!
i have a PCD PH3501 phone that runs Android 4.4. I was messing with it and i changed the font size to 9999 on accident. So i tried rebooting it to recovery mode and then i went to the "wipe data/factory reset" menu. But instead of showing:
No
No
No
No
No
Yes
No
It didn't show any "yes" option, so it basically said this:
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
I don't know why it shows that Any help? thanks!
