can someone make a samsung stock kitkat 4.4.2 rom that can be flashed from recovery like cm, liquidsmooth and many others. So we can avoid odin or pc at all.

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is somehwere I can download the Official rom from.
I installed cyanogen mod 9 on my S3 using clockwork recovery mod and it wiped my backup.
I have tried sammobile but the problem is I need it for version: I9300XXLH1. I am located in Australia.
While on the topic, I have a friend who is using a S3. Could I possibly install CWM and copy a backup off his phone?
Please help, I miss all my features haha.
The official stock rom does not exist .
Many official roms .
CHECKFUS is probably your best method .
Could I possibly install CWM and copy a backup off his phone?
Probably .

Why don't you just flash the JB rom with Odin that was released yesterday.
After that, go into stock recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset and you're good to go.

I can't seem to find a straight answer on how to get CWM on my player. I sort of retired my SGP 4.0 USA version from main use and want to use it for testing roms and stuff. I see all kinds of things on how to root however I installed a pre rooted stock rom on my player however I go into recovery and it says android system recovery. Is this like CWM or will I need to get cwm somewhere else. If someone could please clear all this up for my I would be very greatful
Recovery is not separate in this device, it is part of the main ROM. So your recovery will change based on whatever ROM you are running. This is typical of most Samsung devices.

So how would I install a custom rom on this device coming from a stock rooted rom? Like if I wanted to try CM 10 or 11?
All tutorials I have come across assume already having CWM

Odin/heimdall will install the boot image with recovery embedded. I don't really have more details as it's been ages since mine saw stock. Perhaps you can read up on it or someone else can help.

No just use Odin for the kernel, which includes the recovery. Then boot into recovery and do the install. Note that the cm11 kernel surely won't boot stock so you must go straight into recovery.
Hii!! :laugh:
I hope I am not making an error by posting here, I am a little new to here so be king please :angel:
I just want to install Philz CMW6 on my I9100G so I can install a kitkat custom ROM; I have been facing problems with this, I tried many ROMs ( CM11 unofficial, SuperNexus, SlimRom, OmniROM .. ) but I failed everytime, I realized that my CWM was not suitable. So I started looking for it I found a good thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 after installing the CWM it goes right installing ROMs but got stuck into bootloop.
So, if someone can give me the .tar.md5 file I can flash using Odin or maybe another thing to take care of.
Thank you
PS: I had CM 10.2

Try this steps:
1. Use the method in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365701) to flash JB stock + root. note that it's better to flash the kernel via recovery after it's on your external sd-card or sideload with adb. This way you don't get the triangle warning and no binary count.
2. Download the kitkat compatible CWM from here: (http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip)
3. Flash the CWM and reboot to recovery (advanced -> reboot recovery)
4. Flash your Kitkat rom (with all the necessary wipes of course )

I tried this but I got stuck on boot again, and knowing that the CWM that you gived don't work :/ ( my model is I9100G I think that this is the reason ).
I have read somewhere that maybe the wipe data / factory reset is the source of problem. I am not sure where I am doing wrong
thanks

Nothing. You already installed the newest Knox Bootloader included with the Firmware and it can not be downgraded. If you do downgrade the Bootloader you will brick your phone. You can flash "ROMS" ( not Firmwares ) all you like from previous builds meaning you can flash a Custom 4.2.2 Rom but you can not downgrade the newest Knox Bootloader you installed.

Really?
I have now the TPH beta installed, but is only a beta, and i really want to return in 4.2.2 firmware, that's absolutely a s*it.
So can't donwgrade with or without root, cannot downgrade bootloader, nothing to return to stock 4.2.2?
All the lag from 4.2 just isn't worth going back. I had to go back to my iPhone 5S until the 4.4.2 came out. Now I'm on 4.4.2 and back on my android and loving it. Never want to go back to the iPhone again.

No!! he can't use odin to flash a 4.2.2 firmware because he flash the 4.4.2 kk firmware with the new knox bootloader if he try to flash an older firmware he will brick his phone. @corrystile you can use the MegaFire v11 to go back to jellybean 4.2.2 thanks to @megalomanic14 this is a TW base rom and it work on both 19200 and 19205.

This would probably only work if you were still able to get into " Download Mode " on your phone.
Bricked but download mode good
Ok so I tried this and nothing will boot up now. Was the 4.2.2 a custom rom or stock ? I have a replacement screen that cant boot into firmware 4.3 or 4.4.

A work around for the cheap screen issue booting on stock 4.3 and 4.4 is to flash phils recovery and root followed by a zip install of a custom 4.4 rom. Boots right up . Also with custom recovery I have backed up stock 4.2 firmware on a diff. mega and used that to restore on my 4.4 mega. Not a true downgrade but bootable into stock rom. Took me a long while to figure this out. Hope this helps.

How can you do that when there is no root?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
Do you mean boot ? If so ; I removed battery to power off, then put it back , then hold volume down and home button and power at the same time to get into download mode. Then used Odin to flash custom recovery. I used Phils recovery. My issue began when I allowed 4.3 OTA update. I lost boot and stock recovery but could still get into download mode.

There is no root for 4.4. These are the phones with the problems because can't do anything right now. Does the file you have work for 4.4? Have you tried for that version firmware?
