Hey guys, i hope someone can help me because i'm getting desperate.
Here's the problem:
I got a S3 for almost a year now, and always used the stock TouchWiz but recently I noticed how fast could a S3 with CM10 run and decided to change.
Root, flash, ROM installed. Happiness.
I was extremely pleased with the new ROM I was using, that was like one week ago, everything worked fine by then. Unfortunately yesterday my cam just stopped working, and I tried to google it, read more than 30 topics about that at many forums of people getting the same "CAN'T CONNECT TO CAMERA" problem.
I tried everything they said it worked, factory reset, flashing new ROM (tried ParanoidAndroid), Fix Permission on recovery, reflashing the CM10 ROM, tried stable version of CM9, tried to go back to Stock TouchWiz, and nothing seems to work for my phone.
So I got to this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37072484
Tried that code in TouchWiz, and as soon as I type it it opens a window called CameraFirmware Standard but the rest of the screen is black (no options to cycle through), then in 3 seconds the windows closes and I got a message in my Home screen "Factory Test stopped".
I can assume from that that I may have a defected camera? It is a hardware problem?
Hope someone can help me with this, and can't think of anything else to try and I don't want to send it to customer service because they will probably take some days to look at the problem and fix it, and I need my phone to work.
but this issue is almost fixed in the latest CM nightlies!

Software most likely .
Hardware possible but do you have warranty .
Check your warranty status .

Currently: stock Samsung Touchwiz 4.1.2
Camera still not working
12 hours straight at this trying to make the camera work and no success, I'm really frustrated here. Regretting now the moment I thought about changing ROMs.

I just got a new phone, my mom bought it for me with the money we had saved and she hasn't even paid it whole yet.
I rooted it fine, but then I tried flashing CM10 on it, everything went smoothly but then it got stuck on the CM startup/splash screen or whatever it's called... when I turn it off it automatically reboots and the same thing happens.
it was locked to a carrier, that was probably what screwed it up... I don't know what to do...
if you need any info, please ask. I might know it.
please help :/

Are you sure you have an international GS3?
THANK GOD. I found a stock rom and flashed it and everything wen't back to normal.
and yes, 100% sure it's the 9300, XXBLFB
now there's another problem, it's the stock 4.0.4 rom, and I clicked to update because I want Jelly Bean on it, but it says no updates available? what does that mean? can I flash a 4.1 stock rom over it? and where can I find it, I've been looking with no luck...

did u ever get the JellyBean update to work? I have the tmo S3 and was able to update via Samsungs kies software. However, in sep I had an ATT Galaxy Note and an international factory unlocked Note around for a bit, and the ATT version was supported in Samsung Kies for the ICS upgrade, but the international was not. I believe ICS had to be flashed in the end. I just thought I'd let u know what happened for me, hope it helps. Good luck

Anyone can answer to this? This is happening to mine too. Been over a month without GPS functionality now. Please help us.
Usually its a hardware problem if something isnt working on a stock Samsung firmware. If you have warranty, better go to the service centre. Other than that, cant think of any solution right now, apart from trying different kernels/roms which you have already tried.
Good luck

I'm on NeatRom 4.2 and was facing the same GPS problem. Went to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881304, went to the "Download" page, clicked on "Android 4.1.2 JB" folder and downloaded the "ModemRIL_XXLS8.zip" file. Flashed it via Recovery and viola, GPS was back and working.
You can do this for ICS 4.0.4 or any other version of Android/Firmware you may be having on your phone.
I guess you guys should try and same and report if it worked for you or not.

Problem: When I flash AOKP (any version) a day or two or even as soon as a reboot my phone loose all data and cell functionality. I cant get 3G or 4G I cant even send text. So I don't know what the actual problem is. Every radio I have had work with other ROMs (Jellybeans or PACMAN).
Backround: I originally rooted (casual )back when JBVRALL4 was the issued modem from VZW I went directly to Jellybeans to give touchwiz a fighting chance. Needless to say I crave AOSP (I came from a Galaxy Nexus). I am curently running PACMAN 22.1.0 (Based off Cyanogen 10.1 AOKP MR1 build 5 and Paranoid android ## ) I have good signal and everything works as expected so I dont know what the problem is. I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 and I always wipe data and all cache.
Conclusion: I'm at my whits end here boys and girls please help.. any help.

I may have missed you saying it, but did you check the MD5? Also have you tried flashing the radio after the rom?
The same thing happened with a S3 rom, I want to say PA but I can't remember for sure, and it was caused by flashing the rom and gapps in the same session. I dont know why that would make a difference but the dev said that was the reason, so maybe try flashing the rom and giving it 10 minutes to key or settle them reboot and flan your gapps and see if that makes a difference.

Negative i did not check the MD every time I flashed it said no MD5 so i didn't think of it.. But i will try this method tomorrow..i cant see how this would effect again but till i will try.Thanks for the reply

Wow... I never thought I'd have to go into terminal to fix this.. I want to wait till AOKP gets another milestone build (should be within the next 2 weeks i think) but if I have some free time I'll try the first method (install the ROM and hen after 10 or something minutes install the Gapps) and if that doesn't help I'll definitely pop open the terminal and give this a try... Will keep everyone posted. thanks a lot for the help guys

I have problems flashing Roms I dont know what could be the reason. Couple days ago my SD card died I bought a new one I tried to flash the new version of Tweaked I forgot to made a back up and for some reason my phone will get stuck on the "Galaxy note 2" screen or return to the TWRP menu I tried to flash at least 5 different roms and same results the only one It was able to boot was Clean rom 3.1. I updated TWRP to the latest version and still having the same issues if any one can tell me what to do I will appreciate it

You do know first boots take a while right? You should wait up to or at least 10 minutes for the first boot of a rom.

I'm actually having a similar, if more limited, problem. I recently tried flashing P.A.C. rom onto my Note 2, but it would just hang on the galaxy note 2 screen. I left it for more than 10 minutes without change. However, after that I tried flashing Cyanogen; which worked just fine.
I'd greatly appreciate any tips on how to figure out what's going wrong.

Before I never had issues till a couple days ago. Like you i waited for more than 10 minutes and never booted up

And now it works.
So, I seem to actually have things working now and I figured I should give a quick update.
Before, I was using a nightly of P.A.C. rom, because I didn't see anything more stable at the time. Now I've switched to a milestone rom and it boots just fine. At this point, I think I'd pin the blame on a glitch the rom I was trying to flash; given the fact that Cyanogen and the current iteration work fine

I had been keeping an eye on his i9100 thread and the jist was to flash the latest CM nightly to have the newest recovery then reboot recovery and flash Waylands CM11 like normal.
Thanks Wayland, I am glad you have decided to help us out as well!
Also I just tested using the steps from the i9100 thread and still just get the CM boot logo. Nothing I did could get past it. I could however restore a Nandroid I had just made so no harm done.
Kind Regards,

I tried my best to get my phone to spit out a logcat because my phone also would not boot, it just sat at the splash screen. But, alas, I could not figure out how to get my device to not show offline. I know how to do it when Android is running, but not like that. BUTTTT, if someone can explain to me how to make the phone go "online" for adb during boot, I can pull a logcat, and would be more than grateful to do so, because im dying to try KitKat. Keep up the good work!
fastboot?
Is there no way to put the phone into fast boot mode and get a logcat that way? Would give it a try myself but my comp is on the fritz.

This might be a long shot, but I think it requires you to have CWM 6.0.4.3 and higher to install correctly. You might double check your current version.
My CWM version was 6.0.4.5 and it doesnt boot. So theres may be a problem that only a logcat could show..

Wayland said he would be taking another look at CM11 and our phone tomorrow. Just so you guys know.
Read on the i9100 forum before that someone who couldn't it to boot the normal way got it to work by just flashing CWM and not CM10.2. Tried that and no luck here.

Could it be an incompatible kernel issue? I know on the lg optimus zip and galaxy precedent (both straight talk phones with dev support from another forum) we had to enable sd-ext before cm would work. Not sure if that's the case here or not just a suggestion.
Wish I had internet to set up my build environment.
I have been watching the i9100 thread and have e been trying everything that has worked there but to no avail. I have been wanting to compile cm11 but have not had the time to do so. Wayland, most likely, will need to make some minor change but since he does not own our phone so we will need to be patient. I told him I would volunteer to test if need be.

If needed I have a spare s2 I can use for dev purposes however I'm not on the i777 but the s959g(straight talk) Vasily the same but minor software differences. I can be reached at [email protected] a lot easier then I can on this thread if y'all need any assistance.
I have been working on 4.4 for the i777 and getting CM11 to work right, I found that some people had to do ANOTHER Wipe data/factory reset AFTER flashing the rom and gapps. This is what has to be done on the CM11 rom I ported to the i777 to make it work. Just thought I would share.
Would you happen to know what is not working on this ROM? Any bugs you have found? Thanks.

Doesn't work. Not only that but now I can't go back to cm 10.2 after flashing this. I'd advise everyone to stay away from this port until its 100℅ bootable. If you try to go back you end up with status 7 error.
