Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if anyone know a good post on CyanogenMod how to's and info I was thinking of trying it out.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Well if you wanna know how too flash then I suggest just going to the development section and looking at the CM7 thread by the official Cyanogen Mod account.
It says how to flash and what to flash and other stuff.
You can always visit their official website: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
If you do end up flashing it to your phone, use a KANG, I think the lastest stable and nightly still have the 911 issue. (Because Vibrant support hasn't officially been reinstated yet)
You can find KANGs in the Vibrant Android Development section.
Hi All,
I successfully root my Samsung Galaxy S3 I-9300 (UK version) last week, now I am trying to install a ROM (based on your reviews I'm going to try the Revolutionary HD), but I couldn't find detailed instructions on how to do it for this phone. I did this process few years ago with my HTC desire, so I'm not totally ignorant of the process. I reviewed the "[Q] Safe Guide to Root and Add Custom best ROM to Samsung Galaxy S3 GT19300 unrooted" but it looks to me that it is developed for Nexus and other phones (the main procedure with no doubt is very similar for sure), but would it be possible to have a detailed procedure for this phone? Starting from what software should I use to do which backups before proceeding.
Apologies if this had been already explained somewhere in this site, maybe I'm just too tired today, but I couldn't find it.
Warmest regards!

Did you mean Revolution HD?
Found this step by step: Install Android Revolution HD v40.0 on Galaxy S3 I9300 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Custom ROM.]]
But you should install the latest: [ROM] Android Revolution HD 52.0.
And I would use TWRP instead of CWM - TWRP I9300.
Or at least PhilZ - [i930x][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch. It is not being maintained anymore but will work well for now,
How to verify partition location for TWRP
Segio,
Thanks for your quick response.
I used TWRP instead of CWM as you suggested, installed & run the app following the instructions in:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/114
after selecting the phone model some files are downloaded and then I get the following message from TWRP: "Ensure the partition listed below is the correct one for your device. If you do not verify this then you risk bricking....../dev/block/mmcblk0p6" No / Yes
How can I verify that? Is it safe to proceed?
Warmest regards
Done!
Sergio,
Thanks!, with your help I was able to figure out how to install Revolution HD in my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.
It looks great!
Thanks again!

Good to know everything went ok. Next step will be to try an AOSP Rom.
Take a look at: [ROM][Sep 13][4.4.4] I9300 AOSP NeatROM v8.0.

Sure!
But for the time being I need to figure out how to root & install a ROM (stock-like) to my wife's Samsung Galaxy 4, she's complaining that it is going slowly. I'll take a look soon.
Just by chance, can you direct me to a tutorial to support that model? We got it in UK, so it is probably the international version of it, need to check though, but what ROM would you recommend? I saw in the forum that Revolution HD its not even mentioned (does it support that model at all?!)
Warmest regards!

Hi All!
Few hours after installing Revolution HD my phone lost the ability of making calls! (quite annoying!), the calls just drop few seconds after hitting the "send" key, no income calls either. Any clues? Please anyone...
Rgds!

Quick update,
I flashed again the ROM, but this time I didn't select the options to make it extra-fast (don't remember the screen name, but it was the only one where you have the chance of making choices) and now it resurrected! I can make & receive calls (for the time being!).
I'll be bothering soon anyway to install other ROMs (AOSP NeatROM seems nice).
By the way, and just if it easy to explain... why do you guys talk of "internal" and "external" microSD cards? As far as I understand there is one slot for mSD cards and I always understand that this is called "external", is there a part of the internal memory of the phone that acts like a "inetrnal" mSD card? If that's the case how to I locate it?
I hope this will just take a brief explanation...
Warmest regards!
Internal SD is a partition of internal memory where data as photos, maps, screenshots, etc are kept. Some apps store backups and large data there.
It will survive a "wipe data" but will not survive a "factory reset".
Double check your S 4 model before flashing, but it is probably a GT-I9505 (international Version).
If you want to keep samsung touchwiz flash [ROM][KitKat][12/09][GNH7 V3.1] WanamLite Fast & Clean.
Or go directy to an AOSP rom: [ROM] SlimSaberKat-jflte-4.4.4-20140921 [unofficial SlimKat builds] for jflte.
.
Sergio,
Quick update. I was able to re-stock to the original Samsung firmware using ODIN, so I recovered full functionality.
I can confirm that the model is S3 I9300.
Made a backup using TWRP
I realized that I flashed the wrong (or at least out-dated) version of Revolution HD, I got the one you suggested above:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-android-revolution-hd-52-0-android-t1797334
But when flashing it the MD5 sum check failed. I downloaded it again but same results.
Any clues?
Hi all!
As above, I have just installed cyanogenmod 12.1 on a Galaxy S2 (I9100) for my daughter to try and give it some new life!
It seems to run great, and I'm pleased with the results........but, I would like to use CWM recovery so I can back everything up incase things go pear shaped - but I can't seem to find information on this anywhere.
Is this possible, and which version should I use. Looking at the CWM recovery download options it seems the one for the GS2 is 5.8.1.5 - I thought for CM12.1 I needed a version that was a 6.x.x.x?
The only one starting in 6.x.x.x is for the SGH-I777, can I use this? I don't want to brick the phone, or have to re-install again :crying:
A temporary version I install when I need it would be fine (from CM 12.1 revovery?) as the standard recovery for CM12.1 seems pretty basic and has no back-up option!
Many thanks for any help!
Seems I've got you all stumped!? lol
I installed CyanogenMod 10.2.0-hercules into my Samsung Galaxy S II X T989D a few years ago. Now I'm trying to go back to Android IceCreamSandwich or any other suitable android version, because some of my apps don't work properly on CyanogenMod.
How do I switch back, can someone give me a useful link or useful instruction, i'm a newbie.

First post! So I have a Galaxy Mega (SGH-i527m) and I want to install Cyanogenmod on it. It's rooted using Kingo, and I haven't modded a phone since the Note 1 so I'm a little rusty on how to do it. :silly:
Are there any thorough tutorials on how to do it on this particular phone? Also any Cyanogenmod link I find has been removed, found a very useful thread on here but his links went dead in 2014
No there isn't. My GF has the same phone and there is not unlock for the bootloader and with out that no custom recovery. Even kingo root doesn't completely work 100% of the time.
