Yes, I'm sure. I've been using TWRP since I got my GS3, except when I needed to use CWM for kexec. I also have always been able to view my external SD card with TWRP, which a lot of people seem to have issues with. I'd be happy to help, but I'm not an IRC fan.

I consider myself a smart guy but don't follow.

I have a rooted stock rom and ran the ez unlock app.

If I were to flash the 10-19 nightly as I want to, and then restarted I would get the setup or a soft brick?

Obviously cannot run ez unlock unless u can start the phone, therefore why would we ever need to re-run it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] whoopingchow:
This is incredible. Thank you!!

The camera unlock from lock screen doesn't seem to be working? Everything else seems to be working great though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBiles:
If you're on a rooted ROM and you run the EZ Unlock app, you'll be fine to flash.

I didn't bother ODINing back to stock. I installed CWM 6.0.1.2 and just wiped data/cache/dalvik, flashed CM10, gapps, and Imo's latest beta kernel, and everything worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
No. I said INTERNAL access wasn't working. EXTERNAL access has always worked for me and everyone else also. So we are NOT talking about the same thing. I also said Data Wipe doesn't work for anyone, except you which sounds kinda odd no? If it works for you then you have the only working copy and you need to share it and get with invisiblek in IRC.

IRC..... it's as easy as logging into this website except you don't even have to create an account, just pick any random username and hit connect.....you don't have to be a "fan".

All you have to do to share your special version of TWRP with the rest of the community is click here--> http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=Verizons3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
Ok. If it stays unlocked thats a relief. After soft bricking it last night I just dont take any chances and since that app is so easy, I just hit unlock again and make sure before any flashing. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fluxvalve:
You need to unmount /data before TWRP will format the partition. Otherwise, you'll get the "failed" message.

Not sure why TWRP doesn't do this automatically, but it will work after unmounting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBiles:
Internal, external, I don't really care. TWRP has been able to flash ROMs anywhere on my phone with no issues. I'm not sure what the problem is for some people.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
whoa whoa whoa....you were the guy coming off all abrasive and telling people to not talk about things they don't know, accusing me of saying TWRP doesn't work right like I was just making **** up as I go. ........Don't go around telling someone they don't know what they are talking about when you obviously haven't taken the time to even understand what you are saying.

The current version of TWRP will not Wipe Data and will not allow you to access INTERNAL memory according to everyone who has tested it in the IRC channel. I think invisibleks 2.2.1.5 v2 build might have fixed the problem accessing INTERNAL memory but the Data Wipe is still failing.

Of course it allows you to "flash ROMS", I've used it myself. As long as you are going from AOSP based ROM to AOSP based ROM or TW based ROM to TW based ROM it will work fine. But try to flash from say stock TW to CM10 AOSP with TWRP......the process should be to Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Wipe System and Wipe Data, then flash ROM file. TWRP 2.2.0 will fail on the WIpe Data step every time and if you try to go ahead and load the ROM you will usually end up bootlooping or having massive errors. Because Data failed to wipe. Been there done that myself and others I have seen do it had the same problem.

I'm not trying to be a hard ass about this, but if you are going to go around accusing people of not knowing what they are talking about, and you aren't even giving out good information yourself, then please refrain from giving advice. When confronted with specifics you get all "whatever I don't care" on us and that's classical "I was wrong and won't admit it" . So stop saying things you don't know to be true.

I almost flipped out right now when I couldn't find this in Original Development. ;) I must say we are extremely blessed with hard working DEVS that bring us these source built ROM's, specifically CM builds. I, honestly would lose my mind if this greatness were not possible.

I did a full wipe last night and this ROM 8/18 is butter smooth as usual on every device that its available to. However I did have some issues but nothing I can't deal with.

When unlocking the phone to camera I had 2 random reboots but after 2 it seems fine. (last night couple hours after install)

Phone rebooted when using Google Now to call someone. (today)

Phone rebooted at random while browsing. (today)

FoxFi App doesn't work. Fix-built in hot spot

Other than that this ROM is beautiful and I will be using this as my DD. :good:

i used TWRP, came from a touch wiz ROM.

i didn't follow the instructions exactly. i added a factory reset while i was wiping everything on step 3. we all know that the format data fails.

ymmv, but it worked for me.

also from the TWRP IRC:

[09:37] <seang> may i ask a quesion about the wipe menu?

[09:39] <seang> does the function: "factory reset" also perform a "format data"?

[09:39] <jokerz> i believe so.

[09:40] <@bigbiff> seang: yes it does
​

imo, when switching ROMs always do a factory reset.

maybe this should be added into the OP if someone else can verify?

Guys... I have been on Austin's UNOFFICIAL CM10 ROM since the 15th with NO reboots, NO issues! MMS fix is in there and I can't really say I am having any problems. (knock on wood).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
Thank you VERY much. It's frustrating not to be able to easily find the status of the roms here, especially since they're still under heavy development. I wonder if we could organize a "known issues" section, or if that's still premature since these are alpha/pre-alpha.

Also, what radio are you using? The original, or the one from the update (from the update that removed local search)? (Sorry, I don't have the version #s). Some people seemed to claim the signal strength and 3G handoffs were better on the new radio.

I'm eager to jump on the JB wagon, but I've been scared off by the data issues and the IMEI problem. I, too, don't think I'll miss much from stock TW since I don't think I really make use of anything.

I've tried 3. The alpha10 inthe NOob post worked initially (though it was actually numbered 9 on boot) but I was unable to nand that one. It was entitled "unofficial." Then I tried a nightly. Someone else in that forum says they are using an older nightly now.

I just messed up. In going to backup and restore using CWM 6.0.1.0 I wiped SD by mistake.

I got the latest nightly installed through my external sd card, but I lost all my previous backups.

Not that they worked well anyways. This nightly works better, but now I don't have my original (root) nand.

All I have is this nightly that is kind of working, but no LTE, slow 3G.

What is amazing is that my phone # is back on, my prl appears normal again.

I don't even know what issue is most important now, but that I don't have my first nand is worrying me.

I used the NOob method and I really regret it.

Should I try to do the process over, starting as in here?

First off, do you stil have IMEI and all other system #'s? If so, I would ODIN a stock rom and start from scratch. You will have to root, flash recovery and unlock bootloader again. You can use noxious ninjas root method without flashing. Use EZ Recover app from market and flash cwm 6.0.1 and then make a backup. Then use EZ Unlock app from market to unlock bootloader. If all of you system #'s are still intact, I would back up using QPST for safe keeping. All this shouldn't even take you a half hour. Good luck and let us know if you get things working again.
