Edit: It Works Flawlessly For Me....its easy too!

Have you used it? Is it safe to just flash it? Worried but don't have a of to use ODIN since my laptop broke
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lawful123:
Working for me

Just flashed T999 UVDMD5 Firmware / Bootloader seems to work. I can now update CM and have the latest bootloader.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdizzle404:
Wow this thread turned into an elementary 123 ABC how to root thread lol all by a simple request by a dev lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:
Well, you should try going at it again bro. It's working like a charm. I got about 8 hours yesterday but that was with 2 and a half hours screen time and 2 hours of calling all on data. Was ok. Remember every time you flash a new rom you need to let it settle for a bit. Especially if your in between charge because your battery files are running off the old rom. Another thing is that nfc plus gps are enabled as soon as the rom flashed so that might be another issue. And finally bbs is a literal gold mind in helping search the culprit in battery drain. Glad you were able to flash cm ;) don't hesitate to ask for help! You never pm'd me back lol...

***********

Now this is completley different from your post. Yes, I understand that flashing is difficult sometimes. I still get scared sometimes when I do it. But that's part of the work you have to put in. There are "flashing bibles" in nearly every thread and most people have them in there sig's. If you rooted your phone then you're already made.

I know alot of people freak out about Odin but in the event that cm updater is down or goo is down too or you screw something up you'll have to go back to Odin. It's as simple as downloading your file extracting it and plugging in your phone on download mode. That's it! Once the md5 is loaded you just have to wait for it to flash!!! And even then if you freak out you can ask some one here or pm them.

[MENTION=4788211]Aerowinder[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2675647]elesbb[/MENTION] have both helped me out a ton when I've asked questions. But I don't understand the nagging?! I'm a noob still learning but you HAVE to use Odin to flash a custom recovery and cwm/Twrp to get root. There is no ifs ands or buts. Read the op on what you need to do to flash and that's it. Simple wiping caches and factory reset and that's it! Even then when you freak out go to YouTube and search there for a real flash so you know how long it's going to be real time. Zeedomax is/was my guide on flashing. If you mess up just look at that and that's it... But the feeling of being attacked and crap is just dumb.

When someone answered a question 3 pages back there isn't a need to go asking again and again. Just hop on the browser and search key words and boom! (and im still a culprit :p:rolleyes: ) Not trying to sound like an ass hat to anyone at all. Like I said I'm still learning about all of this but nobody is trying to make everyone's life hell by saying "educate yourself about the stuff you're trying to do to a $600 piece of equipment"

-just saying... End rant

P.S: If this needs to get deleted or anyone feels like I'm slamming someone let me know and I'll take it down or something

Edit: looks like a wall of text.... My bad
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoustonsBirdman:
So its just same as its always been? Root, custom recovery, flash rom and gapps, correct?.. nothing special about this rom or phone? Sorry, just got my S3 yesterday, came from S2.

Added: just had to ask cuz reading through the thread I am stunned as to why so many people are having problems.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
My thoughts exactly :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lawful123:
Slow down sailor. People have already done it. They are just looking for a better way to solve an issue with the new CM updates.

Anyone else sms not showing up after flashing the latest nightly?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dpshptl:
Im running clockwork 6.0.3.1 and tried to install the latest build. I did all the wipes and all. But im getting an error cant mount external_sd. I just rooted my phone yesterday and everything went fine. I did a backup of my stock rom also but since the sd card will not mount I cant do a restore either. Please help. Do I need to unlock the bootloader? I just rooted using Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zephyron:
How is music audio quality over BT in the new nightlies?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mondokat:
if you used your external sd card in stock touchwiz and then upgraded, the filesystem type is incompatible. The only thing you can do is use a card reader to dump the data to a computer then use the phone to reformat the card. Then you can put your data back and it will be fine. Just don't try to go back and forth between stock and CM10.1.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] carlitozway57:
I know that now. As I said, it was posted in response to someone requesting stock with root, which is why I thought it was stock with root.

I didn't request it, someone else did. I don't know what about my responses indicates a broken sweat or anything approaching that. Like I said numerous times before, I was simply trying to warn everyone so as to avoid someone else making the same mistake as I did.

That makes sense. However, I flashed both stock without root and flashed cwm recovery through odin but when trying to flash CM after it didn't work, I forget the exact error message. I thought something might've gone wrong with either my download of cm 10.1 or with the flashing of the recovery, so I figured I'd just boot into the OS and use ROM manager.

Once again, I was simply clarifying what I thought was a misleading post, nothing more.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dpshptl:
I cant format the SD card in recovery, I still get a mounting error.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoustonsBirdman:
Geez.. with the last few pages I question even wanting to flash CM.. if my phone is stock 4.1.2 and I already have root access and twrp that means I should be able to flash say, CM 10 Stable thru twrp right? And if I want to flash a nightly all I should have to do is to all my wipes and clean flash a nightly correct? Or no? And say wanna go to a different Devs rom just do all my wipes and clean flash that rom correct? :confused: ... some of the people posts hhere are confusing, or they are the confused one lol :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mdfritz:
IMHO better than its ever been.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Right, that's all you have to do. Don't fret, cm10.1 is stout and the nightlies are stellar. You just jumped in and caught us in a "digital life crisis" induced by the need to update firmware before continuing our ever exciting ride on the nightly train. Little did we know it would induce panic.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
So is that also TWRP compatable? Is this basically the same as updating the firmware? Or is it better to Odin? Thanks a lot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wcterp:
I've searched and haven't seen an answer to this anywhere. I just flashed CM10.1 RC2 yesterday coming from Touchwiz, and I've discovered that when I pull the notification drawer down, I can't dismiss the drawer with the back button. I can only slide it back up. Is this normal, or should I be able to dismiss with the back button? I used to use CM a long time ago with my G2 and I don't remember having to slide the drawer back up to get rid of it. Is there maybe a setting I've got set incorrectly? I looked through all the menus and didn't see one. Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pgg285:
Yes, you can flash it in TWRP. It accomplishes the same thing as flashing a stock ROM in Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] corkythetard:
It was a panic, but had it fixed in like 15 minutes. Very simple fix thanks to elesbb for the Odin flashable and I forget who the other person was who suggested nandroid pre-odin flash, flash CWM, factory wipe, restore nandroid. :good::good::good:

Both of you have my undying gratitude. (Someone slap me for being a 'tard and not looking up the other person's name) :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] raydar670:
I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the quick pulldown that makes the quick settings show up when you pull down on the right third of the notification bar.

EDIT: It's just under settings, I figured it out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] St0n3s:
Apparently i'm just an idiot anymore & haven't done this stuff in so long that i can't remember how to do any of it.

Someone please explain what has to be done in order to get the latest nightlies.

I've reverted back to stock. & tried flashing the new rom. NOTTA!

Do i need to revert back to 4.0.4 or 4.1.1?

When i do this, do i need to root the phone before i proceed to ANY next steps?

What is the latest Odin version i should be using? Any links to download it?

Video or link to a tutorial on installing the latest rom?

I've spent way to much time trying to figure this all out & my phone is about to become target practice if i don't figure it out soon(& no i won't post the video of that):good:

Please help!

Thanks in advance

Do I need to do this to install the new nighties? The Flash fails since I since I installed RC2

if so, which one do I put...not sure what he means by "this"

Original UVDLJC firmware update script: http://cmw.cmfs.me/d2firmware/T999UVDLJC_firmware.zip

My modified UVDMD5 firmware update script: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...5_firmware.zip
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeithLM:
The guy modified the DLJC script and swapped out the bootloader with DMD5. So you want the second one.

I flashed it although I was already on DLJA and didn't necessarily need it, it worked fine for me and I was running a very recent nightly. Try downloading it again, perhaps it got corrupted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djricekcn:
it's been doing it on every nightly and did redownloaded them few times. so i assume installing the second one will fix my cm10.1 nightlies failing to flash?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stonew5082:
Flash the second zip in the op of the thread below, reboot, then begin flashing nightlies. Easiest way!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djricekcn:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rage913:
How's battery life been for everyone? Any big drains? Or randomness? I had been running juicedefender but it looks like it was putting a crap ton of wakelocks for my data to connect. Uninstalled this morning and I've still got a not so great battery. Worse than before. Just wanted to see if anyone else noticed any drain?

Using bbs and wake lock detector the only thing I see is maps I think that could be causing the issue. I got greenify, which I heard was great, and hibernated maps but it seems like it's still giving my phone. Wakelocks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ghostriderz85:
i have 2% an hour battery drain on RC2 and newer nightlies, that is a fresh and clean install, no extra apps installed after booting up, no settings changed aside from disabling sync.

i have random reboots and maps crashing on 05/15. i'm currently on 05/13, no crashes and reboots so far, but the 2% per hour battery drain is still there.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
No worries, it won't let him.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GenericAsianGuy:
You really should be using ClockworkMod (Touch) Recovery:

Have to be rooted in order for the below steps to work.

Download the touch version from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-Mobile), the version number in the furthermost-right column)

Rename it to something simple like cwmtr.img

Copy it to your Internal Storage/Device Folder

Download Android Terminal Emulator

Open it, then enter:

su
dd if=/sdcard/[B]cwmtr.img[/B] of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Then you can boot into recovery (reboot, then immediately hold down Volume Up + Home + Power).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] frazbox:
remember you have to be rooted to install a custom recovery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantenios:
I have a question. I had an issue recently where after updating, my phone would restart randomely. So, being stupid i suppose, i go and download the 0411 Experimental M3 update and update my phone to that (which really i downgraded after already having updated to I think the April 20th or later update). And My phone works fine now, but i decided today to try the newer nightly updates. Instead i got a:

assert failed: getprop ("ro.bootloader") == "T999UVDLJA" | |

getprop ("ro.bootloader") == "T999UVDLJC" | |

getprop ("ro.bootloader") == "T999UVDMD5" | |

getprop ("ro.bootloader") == "T999VVDLL1"

Error in /sdcard/0/(CM 10.1 May 18 update file name)

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

thank you for any help, I would just like to be able to start updating again, I do have everything backed up with titanium back up so, i'm not worried about data loss.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imheroldman:
Since when do you need root to install recovery? Root has no effect in fastboot/download mode...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ziggy46:
I know, I just didn't want him to try and somehow be successful lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GenericAsianGuy:
Oh, you do this in normal mode (e.g. booting up your phone without going into recovery or download mode).

Root is essential for writing ClockworkMod Recovery to the recovery partition. (su requests superuser access, and the second line in my last post writes the CWM image to the recovery partition).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imheroldman:
That's interesting, because I didn't root last time I installed recovery. Odin simply flashes a modified boot image with Clockworkmod installed.

Sorry no need to argue about this, its just a common misconception.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:

I just don't have it right this second. Once about a month passes, and i save my paychecks, im buying it :) then im waiting for a good 4 years (or so) before buying the next one.
