Just posted for you sonny...right above.

A new topic?

Ok, so I tried new iterations of CM, LiquidSmooth, and Revolt JB, all with no avail.

AOSP/AOKP roms flash successfully with no problems, but when you try to reboot the system for the first time it won't pass the Samsung Galaxy SIII splash screen.

So far this mod to a Dec 2012 CM nightly is the only one that has allowed me to boot fine, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2030660&page=27 post #269 by noobnl.

I'm actually contemplating opening up another thread about this issue. However, I need confirmation that other people besides me and deutscher3891 are having this problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
The CM roms and anything that is a Kang of it built from ports and leaks they are not built on true source so that's probably the reason why your having issues. Samsung and or Sprint has placed added security measures into your devices. It's going to take some time. Right now your recovery is working and Cnexus provided a tar of CM you should be able to flash via odin if you need to have CM.

there tons of custom TW roms which have lots more mods and all will flash and are all built on actual source.

It's going to take time before they figure this all out. If not there's several threads on how to build, Port and cook roms. Or maybe learn how to figure out how to fix the recovery or make one. But patience is a virtue and no one is here to cater to you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sonnysonnyb:
thank you for posting those links..as im learning here on this thread..i realize i have alot more learning to do..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nidpancho:
I don't expect nor do I believe that anyone is here to cater to me. I'm simply bringing up an issue I am having and 'asking' for assistance, not demanding it. In doing so I hope to keep this issue known by end-users in similar situations and interested developers who would like to tackle it.

Admittedly, I should become more versed in development myself. I will strive for this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
So take it to the CM threads have the developers there figure out why their rom won't flash. I think you have an excellent set of developers who bent over backwards the last 4 days and got all of you with the new phones working and recovery working and storage mounts and you can nandroid and flash. So the recovery issue for the time being has been patched and resolved.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nidpancho:
I am on the CM threads.

I have shown nothing but love for the hard work these devs put in to get a working recovery on our phones.

I agree the recovery issue has been resolved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deutscher3891:
I believe one reason it seems logical to ask if anybody else is having the issue with flashing AOSP Roms here in a recovery thread is because surely most if the people who were having the recovery problem are active in it. Some might not even care about AOSP Roms being on there phone so finding them would require posting in all the threads not just AOSP related ones.

I have not heard him ask any person specifically to do anything. He sent out a general signal for help.

But perhaps [MENTION=5356084]nidpancho[/MENTION] you should start a new thread so those who don't want to be bothered with notification updates on this thread related to this won't have to be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
That's exactly what we want to avoid we have had moderators running around closing thread after thread. There's no need for a new thread. This should be taken to the CM team and their thread or the thread of the respective rom you wt to flash. Again remember there is no such thing as a true AOSP rom for the Sprint S3 so that's where to start.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] primo523:
So as far as you know. .. the tar files posted in the op are ready to be flashed in odin with nothing checked and then we will have working recovery?

i tried using those batch files and neither worked..so i tried the twrp odin method and it worked..im doing a backup while i write this..this whole ordeal has been frustrating to say the least..i just want to say thank you to everyone who had something to do with solving this issue and to those who helped me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jewid:
Are we able to flash AOSP roms yet? Because im on CWM Touch modded by CNexus and tried flashing and wouldn't go past boot for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Apparently not then ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sonnysonnyb:
i made a backup of my stock rom to the internal storage then flashed goodness rom and did a backup of it as well to the internal ..i tried to copy the backups to my pc but they wouldnt fully copy over..so i made another backup to the external storage then tried to copy it to the pc and it worked fine..not sure what the issue is,not that its a big problem..just strange..other things on the internal transfer just fine..just not those backups..im using twrp..wondering if anyone else noticed this ..maybe its just my particular device
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] oohoy:
was in the process flashin a new custom rom and went through wipe 3x on cache, dalvik, data, system and then did a internal memory format. i then restarted the phone before flashin the rom and then found myself in bootloop. im now unable to get to twrp recovery. as soon as the phone gets to teamwin screen, phone just restarts over and over.

did i somehow ruin my twrp recovery by format internal memory? what do i have to do to get to recovery now ? tks

nm. was able to get recovery back via odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
I was going to say I never had an issue after I wiped internal storage. Out of curiosity why did you reboot the phone? You can just click back until you get to the main screen and just reboot the recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flint6:
Coming from the OG evo the s3 is a different animal. Can someone give a step by step flashing with odin. I don't mean to be a pain in the a$$. But I did all of my flashing with a different program. I am rooted but have no recovery.

I really don't want to brick this phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deutscher3891:
Open Odin as administrator. Load the recovery tar in PDA space. Untick all the other boxes and flash. Oh of course make sure phone is in download mode
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flint6:
Thank you very much....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flint6:
worked like a charm thanks to all that made it possible...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] oohoy:
phone wasnt recognizing sd card. usually a reboot will solve that issue. so if u didnt have issue format internal storage, then i had no idea how i lost access to recovery in the first place.

I cant find the link to download this anywhere.. Why does it make you download Goo manager? why not just a direct link to the file on goo?

Goo manager is easier and more user friendly as it downloads and installs it for you.

Go to their website. You can download older versions there.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Keep this in mind if the phone is newer than 2 months chances are that recovery might not mount storage. They have implemented changes into brand new S3's. If the phone is older everything still works the same. You can find the modded recoveries here that will allow for storage to mount.

Yes, in running 2.6.0.1 and everything is fine.. I have an older gs3.. Only thing that was changed was the fix for newer phones so sticking with 2.6.0.0 is fine

New s3... Old ones won't have a problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I'm not sure, I no longer have the gs3 so I can't test for you. But I would guess just the newer phones. If you have an older phone test it out and let us know. If it doesn't flash cm, you you can always go back to an older version. The guys with the newer phones, will just have to wait for it to get fixed.

I cant access anything! lol i wish i was kidding.

updated TWRP in GOO manager, flashed PA, then Gapps, rebooted setup google, then had to reboot for PA_gapps, after that it was stuck at the BMS splash logo.

Ive lost access to almost all necessary directories. I cant flash anything cuz it cant flash it to anything. I can get to recovery but nothing works.

I need some insight.

pls&thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
Probably need to Odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jataadroid:
I just did, and still no access.

ive formatted, reflashed, odin'd, and prayed....fruitless. I was able to reflash from ext storage after mounting it in recovery.

Why is it asking for a password? Ive never set a password.

So far Ive read that the filesystem is now encrypted even thought i selected no such option.

I have searched and searched with no direct answer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jataadroid:
OK first break is when i downgraded to 2.4.4.0 and did a complete data wipe. this did away with the encryption. I re odin'd twrp 2.6.1.0 and now have full access again.

Nope I lied, after initial boot to system any subsequent boot leaves me locked at splash SAMSUNG and then twrp some how self encrypts requiring a password.

I'm now thinking this is solely a twrp issue. Which version did not included recovery encryption? I have to format data to gain access again to a normal system boot. No other format method really works unless it formats internal storage as well.

Any assistance would be appreciated? I have received very little thus far.

Update: flash clockwork mod recovery and it fixes it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
If you would've searched a little better you would have seen that this issue has nothing to do with the recovery, it's because your phone is a newer one and you need a modded recovery to work...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jataadroid:
First off thanks for your response.

I have been all over trying to find a solution, not one person whose known about it has acknowledged my request for more details. I saw the modded recovery images but there wasnt an explanation that defined my same issue.

I've seen vaguely similar bugs but nothing that sounded the same. I could paste my search history to show my efforts. I've been asking for any info but have only received few answers and mostly by individuals with my same issue.

If the modded recovery is what I need why did the classic CWM(non touch) fix my issue? Only thing i was able to gather was there was some conflict with encryption. I prefer TWRP and would like to use it again.

Again thanks. Excuse my rustling of feathers just seems like people don't have much interest in sharing anything unless its flaming someone. That's just been my experience.

I just looked a few pages back again and saw some similar post. Again hand to god I searched Google and this thread using all the keyword that came time mind. My last post was uncalled for after seeing that. No explanation as to why it didn't popup in Google or xda search. Sorry everyone.
