Hi All, My trying to flash my AU Vodafone S3 to us the Revolution HD ROM.
First I rooted the device using the instructions here:
hxxp://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300t
(This was done before I decided to give another ROM a go.)
Now if I follow the instructions here:
hxxp://joyofandroid.com/install-android-revolution-hd-custom-rom-on-samsung-galaxy-s3/
I dont get the Wipe dalvik cache option. And the ROM install seems to work, but I get the standard vodafone image again on reboot.
I suspect this is due to the rooting I did before not giving me the dalvik option.
I have also tried to reflash to original state using the VAU-I9300TDUUGNA4-20140224095033.zip ROM
Revolution image I was trying was Android_Revolution_HD-SGS3_52.0.zip.
Is anyone able to help get back to totally standard before I try the Revolution ROM again?
Im a total newbie, I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance!

CM10 discussion post is alive and well .
You are that worried then don't flash CM pick another less worrying rom .
Im just asking if i can install CM10 directly from rooted stock 4.1.2 or if i need to downgrade first

Yes you can
But with a 4.1.2, you have now a new bootlpader which include a new protection. So you will have a red exclamation mark on boot.
It doesn't matter, all is fine and everything will be working, it's just related to warranty service.
Check also forum, you can downgrade bootloader to avoid exclamation mark.
EDIT: [SOLVED] - For anyone following in my footsteps, ROM Manager is useless when flashing between android versions. You need to perform a wipe first so back up apps, SMS and internal SD card files. These threads were most helpful:

Hi there,
A year ago I rooted and flashed my phone to Omega 9.xx from stock. Unfortunately, I haven't paid attention to anything since and have only just realised I'm still running 4.04 and a really outdated custom ROM.
So my question is how do I update to Jellybean 4.12/4.22?
I tried flashing to Cyanogenmod using ROM Manager/CWM Touch recovery yesterday to no avail. I got as far as the boot screen where it would stick so I had to restore my nandroid back up.
Is this due to compatibility with my outdated Android version? Do I need to update it before flashing a new custom ROM? I was under the impression flashing the new ROM would auto-update android from 4.04-4.14 - am I mistaken? Details in my signature and my provider is vodafone UK.
Thanks in advance for you help - it's much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Kelevra7

Hi,
Thanks for the link. I read the entire first post but am still having a little trouble understanding where to go from here.
Do I need to flash my stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM? This part of your guide suggests I do not:
However, if you immediately plan on flashing a ROM, there's no need to root your existing ROM. Simply skip straight to installing a recovery. Backup then flash what you like.

So perhaps I just need to flash a custom ROM using CWM. But I tried this and it didn't work. I have searched a multitude of forums (spent 8+ hours) but to no avail. Nothing specifically references how to update from an old android version/custom ROM.
I have backed up my apps and system data with Titanium backup, got a nandroid backup, installed ROM Manager and Mobile Odin Lite (with the kernel add on) and tried flashing cyanogenmod9 using CWM but it failed - if you could just drop me a line pointing me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Kind regards,
Kelevra
I am a real noob on using android. Digged the xda forum but still do not exactly understand which ROM I should use for 8005. A friend have given a custom ROM based on 4.1.2, but that 8005 haven't been touched for a long time. I clicked the factory settings and resetted.
Now please help this noob:
1) What is the newest custom ROM that I should download and where?
2) After installing that ROM, which URL should I look for rooting?
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
I assume that someone has previously posted a thread about this issue but my attempts to reach any have proved pointless.
Therefore I hope someone could just enlighten me as to what I could do to solve this issue.
I flashed this aosp rom on my Galaxy SIII (I9300 international) but I decided to go back to the custom stock rom I was previously using but when I tried to restore my backup the phone got stuck in bootloop in the samsung loading screen.
Thus, I tried to flash a new custom rom from the ground up the the phone is still behaving the same way.
Can someone help out, please?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
I would advise you to use this rom (its build on touchwhizz but with many improvements)

Just be sure to select the right one

Use Odin to return your phone to official stock... if stuck in bootloop after flashing boot into recovery and factory reset.Once you have your phone up and running then you can go back to flashing a custom rom.

The device is already rooted, you just need to download any custom ROM you want, reboot to recovery, and flash your desired ROM from there.

first of all thanks for your answer.
If I understand properly
therefore, I'll have not any problem because of 4.4.4
that is correct ?
Yes, that is correct. The device is already rooted, with custom recovery, which means you can just reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash any desired ROM you want.
@@[email protected]........No disrespect intended, but this is "flashing 101" basics stuff........
The fact that you are asking it, tells me that you don't have the experience needed to do this comfortably.....
That's not a problem though.....we all start from the bottom, and learn as we go.....
But that being the case, i'd advise that you don't do anything to your phone until you've read, learnt and completely understood the processes behind the flashing procedure. It's best to understand what you are doing beforehand, rather than trying to figure out what went wrong afterwards.......
