I managed to get TWRP installed as well as root but I can't find any roms, mods, or anything. I'd be happy with a debloated/deodexed stock rom at this point and something I can tinker with. I'd like to find a great kernel too but I've searched every board to no luck. I can't seem to find anything possible through ODIN or TWRP flashing at this point. Am I missing something, is there anything I can do from here. I've noticed a lot for different variants but I assumed it was common sense not to use those.
Any help is appreciated!

HI! I had to reset my phone but I can no longer download this rom. Can you assist?

Hi all, I'm enjoying reading lots in this forum in order to learn how to unleash my S3. One massive thank you to all who make this community such a great and rich resource. Thanks!
After reading a bunch, I took the XDA plunge. Here's what I've recently done (maybe this will help someone who's considering taking the plunge too. I was surprised at how easy everything was). I rooted my i9300 by flashing CF-AutoRoot via Odin. I then downloaded GooManager from the Market. It installed an open recovery script for me, TWRP. Next, I rebooted to TWRP recovery mode and did a backup and then a factory reset. I flashed temasek's build (v20) of Android 4.3/10.2 with the latest gapps zip (20130813). Then came the moment of truth. I was nervous when my phone took a bit longer to boot. The sweet Cyanogenmod logo just kept swirling. Finally, it booted and I was in love.
I have just a few questions about my phone now.
First, is the TWRP backup I did adequate to get me out of serious trouble if something goes wrong flashing updates? The backup ended up being over 2gb!
Secondly, have I done anything to the kernel? If not, should I?
Thirdly, have I done all that rooting and custom roms have to offer? Do I now just update my rom when new builds come out and continue enjoying my phone? If so, that's great. Just wondering what if anything I could do next, apart from trying other custom roms.
Lastly, what's the proper way to get help troubleshooting glitches/bug with the custom rom I'm using since I'm not yet able to post in its development forum thread? For example, my bluetooth won't turn off and in some apps the screen flickers or doesn't seem to render the window properly.
Thanks in advance.

1. A backup is always adequate on almost all situations and that size is acceptable since most of my backups are around 1.41 gb but I recommend that you also backup your efs since it's one of the most important things to backup on our devices. More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
2. As far as I know any cyanogenmod based firmware installs it's own custom kernel however this is highly reversible as soon as you flash a stock firmware again.
3. Well the possibility of having a rooted phone are endless. In xda you'll find vast amount of tweaks, roms, kernels etc that you can flash on your device. Even I still keep on flashing things (with precautions of course) whenever i find something interesting.
4. Until you can post that thread just keep posting your question here in the Q & A but search the topic you have in mind first since it's most likely been asked before, just to keep the forum clean as much as possible.

No its not It has note backed up EFS .
Secondly, have I done anything to the kernel? If not, should I?
Your choice .
Thirdly, have I done all that rooting and custom roms have to offer? Do I now just update my rom when new builds come out and continue enjoying my phone? If so, that's great. Just wondering what if anything I could do next, apart from trying other custom roms.
Your choice as to try other roms or mods .
Lastly, what's the proper way to get help troubleshooting glitches/bug with the custom rom I'm using since I'm not yet able to post in its development forum thread? For example, my bluetooth won't turn off and in some apps the screen flickers or doesn't seem to render the window properly.
Some roms have a Q&A thread or discussion thread . Usually problems are posted in the rom thread .

Thanks for the replies. I booted into recovery and used TWRP to do an EFS backup. Super easy.
I've been trying to wrap my head around rooting and/or installing CM11 on my SGS2 i9100g for a couple of days. The main problem is that whatever is out there (and in these threads) are confusing for someone just starting.
For example, "First time installing CyanogenMod 11 to your Galaxy SII G" (which means probably this is someone like me, still running stock unrooted, and possibly doesn't have a clue)
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery (not asking to use the kernel, but flash it and use the CWM in it to flash CM)
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM11.0 zip from internal SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!

I have close to no idea what this all means. I've tried the CM Installer - not available for i9100g. I tried looking up how to backup my nandroid, just in case: CWR and TWRP - but neither have recoveries for i9100g. I've been trying to maybe even be risky and just install CM11, but I'm even having trouble with that. I've tried looking up stuff on Google, only to learn that i9100g is totally different than i9100.
Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
Tried the official guide yet?

Have you tried following the official guide from the cyanogenmod team How to install CyanogenMod on the I9100g?? I was a first time newbie like you when i installed 10.1.3 on my S2, but after some trying i got it to work with this guide. The guide is specially made for newbies so every step is explained and if you don't understand something google usually has the answer. If you still need help just say so and I'll do my best to help
Yeah, actually I have. Got stuck with Heimdall Suite, and just now trying to get ClockworkMod Recovery running.
CWM for i9100g

CWM doesn't have a version for the i9100g, so I'm not sure what I need to do there. If you have any suggestions that would be great.

Like I said just follow the guide from the CM team, everything is there! Since I'm new on here I suddenly can't post outside links but just look at the tutorial I posted before and then look at th 2. point. Afterwards just follow the official CM tutorial step by step and nothing can go wrong!
Thanks for this. Actually I'm still having problems, specifically getting a status error 7 described here (but please reply here if you have any insights).
This is getting to be a commonly asked question these days... and tbh a little reading/searching WOULD have answered it for you....
The version of CWM you are trying to flash CM11 with is wrong......
KitKat based roms need CWM 6.0.4.5 or newer......
The CWM I used to flash to KK was 6.0.4.7 and was linked to in the thread where I got the ROM......
So as I said, a little reading would have answered this for you.....
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right

You're absolutely right about reading, but the problem is the information is never all in one place!
That is why I wanted to create a thread like this on: where an absolute beginner might find all the relevant and up to date information in one place rather than having to weed through pages of threads, downloading wrong CWM versions or whatever just to find out it's the wrong version.
In my case, first I learned that I even needed CWM. Ok, (and not to mention figuring out what it is). Then I try to find the version I find compatible with my device. Ok. Then I read somewhere to use Odin to flash it. Done. Then somewhere I else I read not to use Odin, and to flash it via recovery. So I have to figure out how to do that next. Only after some 5-6 more steps do I learn from someone like yourself that the version I'm trying to use is wrong. All the relevant information is so fragmented online, hence the necessity to make things easier for absolute beginners (which would also avoid questions and answers like the ones in this thread).
I don't think the problem for a lot of beginners is not reading, but not knowing where to find what they're supposed to read. I hope you see my point...

Sorry, but you're wrong. That is absolutely the problem for 99% of people who come here. They can't be bothered searching/reading & learning 'under their own steam' (so they understand things in their own way, rather than be fed a bunch of steps by someone else they don't understand). People seem to have this attitude that modding your phone without learning first is easy & risk free. It isn't. I've seen thousands of people on here like this end up with busted (permanently/requiring a lot of money to fix in many cases) phones over the past 2.5 yrs. And these people then cry they don't have a working phone. And it's almost always their own fault.
We already have countless guides/stickies/etc on here made by people with the idea that others will refer to these rather than post the same questions over & over & over. These are easily found with a minimum of effort. Just as the answers to random questions not necessarily covered in detail in these threads are easily found with a minimum of effort. Unique questions stopped being asked here a few months after this phone was released, every question that gets asked here has already been asked & answered many many times.
And guess what ?
People still post the same questions over & over & over. Why ? Because they're either lazy & 'want it now' (as opposed to taking the time to learn for themselves) or because they're unable to do something as basic as an effective internet search.
BTW, I'm not necessarily saying you're one of these people, I'm just telling you how things are around here based on my experiences, and I'd be very surprised if anyone who has been here for any reasonable amount of time offers an opposing view with regard to this.
So...By all means, create your 'thread like this one: where an absolute beginner might find all the relevant and up to date information in one place', but understand we already have dozens and dozens of these, and yours will end up like the rest; ignored by 99% of people who come here.

So, for the most part I started off with not even a clear idea of what the difference between rooting and flashing a ROM was, and I was able to finally install CM11 - but it took me days with dozens of various errors and such. But I did it.
I'm a firm believer of documenting for myself and if useful also for others, so I have written a small beginner's guide... written by a successful (?) beginner.
The only problem is I'd love for someone who's not a beginner to look it over to make sure it is in fact 100% correct before I post it - If there are errors, I don't want others to rely on that information. If I post it here, would you think you'd be able to give your input?
Of course Put it up.
Development on this device has been... well, zero, other than a working root method (ZenFone Root). The stock ROM is decent but it has some annoying bugs, such as apps disappearing on reboot. Would love to see CM11 on this, or any custom ROM in general. I know that we most likely need to unlock the bootloader first, then figure out how to flash a custom recovery before we can even do anything else. Does anyone have the knowledge to tackle this? This device doesn't even have its own forum yet.

Hello… 1st off if your new and haven't done so give this a good read http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 so you have a better understanding of what you are about to get yourself in to. Give jimzweb1 and thank you when you get over there for putting this together. Any of the custom roms here will very from rom to rom. Its near impossible for anyone to say what rom is rite for you. Best thing I can say is as with any rom . Pick a rom that is made for your firmware. These day you can get away with using NK4 with NH7 intended roms. For exsample : im running the latest fre3 rom made for NH7 and I updated my firmware to NK4 and is running ok. (But please read up on it first) So pick a rom you think you might want to run and research, research, research.(The more knowledge you have the smoother your install and over all experience will be.) Look at the features listed for that rom and user feedback with in that thread. Also in the Q&A most roms are listed there with user feedback. Most if not all of your questions have already been answered you just got to look a little. Also the search bar with in any thread is a very useful source of information when choosing a rom and finding answers to your questions . BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM/SETUP just incase. And follow all rom install instructions to the T for each rom you try. This makes it less painful for developers and others to help you if anything goes wrong. Rom installation may very from rom to rom. Good luck and happy flashing!
I managed to get TWRP installed as well as root but I can't find any roms, mods, or anything. I'd be happy with a debloated/deodexed stock rom at this point and something I can tinker with. I'd like to find a great kernel too but I've searched every board to no luck. I can't seem to find anything possible through ODIN or TWRP flashing at this point. Am I missing something, is there anything I can do from here. I've noticed a lot for different variants but I assumed it was common sense not to use those.

This particular variant just isn't very popular on the forum which is why there's little to no development for it. There are other variants too which haven't had any development, you're just a bit unlucky here.

Still, two years later I cannot find anything either. I really have been wanting to just try installing the /e/ which only supports SM-G920F. First question is can I revert back to stock OS if this fails? Then second, how likely is it that this works with minor bugs?
Hoping this isnt dead. But thanks!

Dont install antthing which is not for your model. Becauee of various differences in hardware you can brick your phone. Even after successfull installation you can face problems with nit working midem or wifi or anything else.

G928R4 is another device and this section is for S6/S6 Edge (G920X/G925X) unified development ONLY, go to post this to you correct forum and theres no hope for some models, the developers doesn't have the fault, the fault have the carriers.
