Try this

ODIN Flash CWM http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5

Also make sure you have the nightly for the correct model. I almost downloaded the d2tmo not paying attention http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=d2spr&type=

Don't forget GAPPS http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip

Good Luck!

So you don't have cwm or twrp recovery installed? That's step one my man. Take care of that and kick Odin to the curb. You're rooted right?

I was rooted but When i tried flashing cm10 last night i think it erased my internal storage and I think thats where most of my probs are from! Im putting CWM on now and Im gonna go at it a different angle! Ill let you know how it works out! I have never run into this prob before!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
OK cool. At least you're calm and not freaking out. You'll get it.

About 6 hours on latest nightly, no crashing, everything works, its fast, data seems much faster, but still not as good as the other 2 phones next to me (all on 3G). Battery is dying much faster than other installs, but, clearly thats a questionable litmus test unless i havent flashed in a few days......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] punwik:
Ok I went from stock recovery back to CWM and the first thing I tried was factory reset and caches cleared and reboot but that didnt work! Now I am trying to restore a nand!

update: I tried clearing everything and restoring a backup and it says error while restoring /data!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
Is the nand you're trying to restore made with cwm?

I'd never seen this app before, but it looks like exactly what we need to capture some debugging info for any reboot or phone lockup issues. The app captures kmsg automatically when a reboot occurs.

Check it out:

Are you able to use the camera at all? I did a dirty flash over 9/20 and the camera app crashes while trying to access the sdcard. The preview of the last photo taken never shows up and then the phone locks up.

I'm about to do a clean install to see if that helps.

Can you download a ROM to your PC, place it on your SD card via adapter, put the SD card back in your phone, boot into recovery, flash new rom?

I did everything via a toolkit, MSKIPS perhaps. It took awhile but it eventually worked. I think we need to get this thing booting first though.

Im positive now! Its because my internal sd was erased last night when I tried to flash cm10 and thats why Im where Im at!

Any suggestions???

Yes I can do that with the external card! I will try that next! What rom do u suggest?

I tried to flash a rom that was on my card already that worked great before and now it just sits at the samsung screen after the sprint boot!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
You may want to try another but I am a strong believer in CM. It may not be for your phone though. Perhaps try something from the Android Development section. I don't want to get in trouble in this thread for talking about other ROMs. PM me if needed.

Anyone know how to backup all the home screen launcher settings? I've searched to no avail. I was able to do this with Sense and TB, but I can't find it for JB :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
I think the nicer way of saying it is....this is a CM10 Rom thread. Sounds like you may be experiencing a soft brick. Search XDA for advice on soft brick fixes...or YouTube...may need to get it hooked up to computer and Odin. Install factory Everything. ....search Sprint SGSIII for help...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brendan802:
Make a titanium backup of trebuchet 0.2 app and data. Restore will work for everything but widgets.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steven7590:
So how is this rom running. I'm sure it's quick, but so is this phone on ics because of the hardware. I tried earlier builds and it was awesome, but i find myself missing some of the touchwiz features. Love to hear people's thoughts that chose these nightlys over touchwiz roms. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
It's very smooth. Few screen flickers and no netflix. Also the transition from 3g to 4g and vice versa is slow. But other than that, this rom is pretty much flawless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Imurdaddytoo:
New build up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
Has to be one of the funniest post on this thread yet...if you can get past the flickering screen...no Netflix... terrible data drops....you are good to go on your 700 dollar smart phone...

(Sorry I couldn't help it)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] air2k57:
Uhmmm.... screen flickering doesn't even happen to some of us, and when it does, it only happens like once a day... Netflix, not everyone uses? Data drops.... lmao, problem to the .001% of those who actually have LTE?

Oh, and cm10 has way less bugs than stock tw out of the box, or stock evo... don't get it, a lot of $700 phones are buggy as hell out of the box, that's why many root them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
I probably could've made it sound better... The flickering is very rare. Netflix is kind of a drag but it's a netflix issue on jb, no cm10. Also the data drops are only lte related, so if you don't have LTE it doesn't effect you. :)

I think he is asking you to make a thread because you have a problem that requires extended help, and you seem to be really inexperienced.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
Well actually....the data drops don't just pertain to LTE, this forum seems to force it that way. If you read up the last few pages then you would see that me and others never mention LTE when stating OUR problems. The screen flickers are not rare on this ROM and the fix doesn't stick past a reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shawheim:
8-23 build ran smooth as butter for me yesterday. no reboots no hang ups. getting ready to flash the 8-24 build now, lets hope it is just as smooth!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
Really...if the flickering didn't happen to most...why are there pages of the fix being repeated? Netflix is still an issue for the ones that DO use it. Yes, data drop occurs with people with no LTe. Read through the previous post. CM10 has way more bugs than the Stock TW. Most people root to get added perks to their phones not to fix bugs. To compare today's Roms to the stock EVO of two years ago....seriously. I love CM but it is buggy... it just hit Night lies....but don't stand there and act like everyone who states a problem is wrong for not accepting them.

Let's at least acknowledge them so the Community can have a better Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Nightlies aren't supposed to be stable. I don't know why folks start to freak out and argue about stability when the purpose of a nightly is to bring you bleeding edge. Can you link me to the Jelly Bean TW rom? That's right, there isn't one. So if you're mad that people keep saying its running perfect for THEM, then go back to the ROM that is perfect for YOU. Don't muddle up the thread with bickering.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
If you read through most post. That is why I kept saying that it was a nightly and needed work...then stated issues. You are correct, there is no thread for TW but I do have a Nandroid from my Stock. Thanks for the reply and I simply was putting out issues that I and others experienced and like others, simply isn't welcomed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Rather than people arguing as to what is a widely seen bug or just on a few, remember that every phone and user is different.

Add to that these are nightlies and change....nightly.

This is in the OP:

"Do not report bug to the bug tracker if you are using this build.

CyanogenMod Device Maintainer

Sprint Galaxy S III

Chat with us on #gs3-sprint irc.freenode.net"

So rather than everyone fight about this, someone get on the IRC and get official info.

But certainly no need to argue over which bugs are important and which are

AND no reason to post the same bug over and over if there is a fix listed

Rule #1 in forum rules says to search before posting

Adding XDA to a Google search will get you plenty of links if forum search is down.

Thank you for your cooperation

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
Now in all fairness TW does not have this many bugs lol.......

But anyway, to afive, this is not a final rom by any means. The CM team is working on making a great rom and we are lucky enough to be able to follow along with their progress through flashable builds. If you don't like the bugs, don't flash. Samsung doesn't release nightlies on their build before they release the final SW, you just get the final thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
It's an alpha. That cuts both ways, don't ***** and moan that bugs are still there, but people also shouldn't be claiming its bug free or more stable than tw. It is annoying that different people complain about the same thing over and over though... would take 8 seconds for people to locate all of the bugs reported in this thread.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phenixdragon:
I tried it a couple of hours ago but I still get screen flicking in many apps so I went back again to 8/12 which I have no flicking issues. Every build since I have flicking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] onebelo:
just flashed it this morning. seems comparable so far to the previous one. i get flickering very rarely. I didn't get any SOD with the last build and I used it all day or reboots. I was also using QCell 4200mah battery yesterday after flashing 0823 and got almost almost 24hrs of battery life with 11% left (and almost 5hrs screen on time). I dont like the extra bulk though so im back to normal battery and use the Qcell for occasions where I'll need the extra juice.

the only thing i found with 823 build was the camera didnt focus as fast. seems to be a bit quicker on 0824.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
seems stable so far for me only got one reboot while playing pandora while screen off but im using a different kernal was set to min 192mhz and undervolted i suspect thats the issue changed settings n so far everything is good on 8/24

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mpescetto:
For those having 3g/LTE issues. dirty flashed newest nightly build and things are looking promising. Been on LTE radio all morning and have been getting 3g and 1x all morning without any drops. home is not in 4g area but when I get in a place where I get 4g I will update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I flashed it with ktoonz kernel and got constant reboots ins the first few minutes. Flashed it again without his kernel and no reboots since. Looks like some more patches need to be applied
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
I've had no luck with his kernel. I'm not blaming it, I have just never been able to use it. Soon as the phone boots up, constant fc's. :(

Can confirm LTE is working on this build. slow transition from 3g to 4g.takes about 20 seconds. No data drops all day on LTE radio.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Ktoonz is getting ready to come out with an update to his kernel.last I read he was finishing a couple of governors.is supposed to come out next couple of days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Yeah but I tested it when it was first released, had the same issues. I just think it's my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
That is not a solution. The hardway overlay is a feature to optimise the way the GPU meshes with the RAM (kinda I think) to increase graphical performance. Simply saying disable it is not a solution. It's something that needs to (and will get fixed). We really can stop talking about it. It will get fixed when it gets fixed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mercado79:
Clean install solved my camera / phone locking up issues. Oddly enough, even doing a restore of /data only still led to the same issue. 8/24 nightly build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] edisepic:
8-24 update on dirty install has MMS borked for me with stock MMS and GO SMS
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cjforever29:
If I want to update, do I only wipe cache & dalvik?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BrandonEnr7:
That would be considered a dirty flash. If you want a clean flash you need to also wipe /data.

I also to prevent issues, wipe /system also whether it is a clean or dirty flash, but that is what I do and have no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Doesn't flashing a ROM wipe /system right off the bat anyway?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] knives of ice:
it seems the 8-15 build is still far and away the most stable with everything working for the most part.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeyfg:
So is anyone still having issues with MMS? And is it still wiping your pics?? Was my only complaint about CM10
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsg411:
I did the same as Brandon....I wiped cache, and dalvic, and data, but I also formatted the system on the 8/18 nightly and I did it on 8/18 and never had no issues .....actually I did have one...I had one reboot yesterday when opening the camera, and the checking the hardware overlay button solved my flickering issues from the beginning. and I dot have 4g in my area so that was always a non-issue for me.

So there is no need for me to go to a newer rom till I see the changelog say there has been some substantial added features....not just bugfixes to exiting stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
How is it borked? No send and receive? No send but does receive? No receive but sends? Did you search the thread, I posted a fix for mms a while back, you could try flashing it and see if it fixes?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] air2k57:
No, I'm not saying that those issues do not exist, they do, and I'd rather it be known so we can get a better product. It is just that we make it seem that this ROM is garbage, when it is far from it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bucketachicken:
I'm still running 8-15. I have barely seen the screen flickers people are talking about, maybe 3-4 times total. I don't have LTE so dunno about LTE-related data drops, and frankly I only use 3g when commuting, and use wifi elsewhere, so dunno about that either. Only app of mine that I wished worked is Plex, which may not even be rom-related, might be JB or the app itself (I don't use Netflix anymore, though it's known it has an issue). For stability, especially coming from months of random half-working roms on the Evo 3D, I'm golden. Only "bug" I ever see is the "screen won't come back on and I have to hold the power button down to restart" which happens once every few days.

For a nightly, this rom is damn good. Hell, for a non-nightly, this rom is damn good! And as soon as I see some changes in bbqlog that look interesting for my use case, I'll be flashing I'm sure. What does it say about me that a 9 day old version feels ancient? *twitch*
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zagtastic:
just want to echo this-- EXACTLY my current experience and attitude (minus the Evo 3D part). would recommend this build to anyone, but obviously no guarantees regarding features that i don't use...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:

MMS FIX for those that didnt know how

There isnt a problem with MMS, you actually have to enable it under i thinks it Local Tools or something like that under Developer Options , it should be the first option. im not on a CM so i cant remember. But when you open it you have to click on Connectivity , then there is an option to Start MMS. Click it and all is good. might just have to restart phone or download GoSMS to get it going.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maluminse:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ruskiyab:
It's not swipe up from the bottom of the screen, it's from holding the home button., You have the same option by holding the menu key on the home screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] air2k57:
Here's another one.... when you send an SMS, if you send another SMS while that first SMS is still sending, the second SMS fails instantly. Any ideas on what could be causing it? Also, when you get the warning of too many SMS being sent with an option to allow or block, it doesn't go away. With very SMS you send it will warn you :(.

And back to MMS, yes I know there is a zip to flash, but it doesn't address the issues of delayed receiving. And I did try MMS start under development options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
Same problem, found that clicking the one sending will force it. Then retry next one. Not a fix but noticed the issue. BTW had same issue on stock occasionally.
