Same thing, just download the same file for Odin.

You'll need to root again or Odin recovery.

I just use the tool posted somewhere here in the development section to Odin recovery and I flashed a rooted rom. Simple as 1-2-3.

Even though on the tool it says Tmo 4.0.4 it still worked for me.

Sorry I haven't been around today. I'm at school. That being said I think most of you guys found that v8 is uploaded and ready. Ill update the thread when I get home.

NO WONDER. When I was on UVLEM, I had battery life of at least 23 hours. Every since I updated the baseband, my battery life decreased drastically. I'll be reverting back. +20Mbps is good, but 8Mbps w/ uber battery life is better.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThC23:
It's recommended, but you don't have to.

Also unless you Odin or someone extracts the modem, you won't have the latest modem.

Which could be better, but in some cases worse.

Depends on your area.

I skipped the root, just Odin recovery and flashed a rooted rom.

Yep we just need to edit all the flashable zips to work with the new base. He is working on getting the 15 toggle mod to work properly first though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey guys, just thought I'd chime in real quick with a recommendation.

Hopefully to help stem some confusion as well.

I've seen some of you discuss whether or not to first Odin flash the stock firmware. I highly recommend you do so. The firmware flashes 10 separate partitions on your phone. Custom roms only flash 2-3 on average. Say you have never updated by OTA or Odin. Everything but system, kernel, recovery and modem will still be rocking UVALEM!

This is of course not required, but if you really want to reduce the chance of future problems and possibly increase stability and maybe even battery, you should flash the firmware. I suggest doing it soon, simply because if you put it off and forget, it is possible that you could run into little issues that you spend your time trying to solve, but could have been avoided.

In the end, it is up to each of you. But in my opinion, it can even be seen as a favor to your favorite dev by ensuring you arent reporting bugs that arent part of the rom.

Just my thoughts on it.

If you do want to flash the firmware, you can get either the stock or the root66 (pre-rooted) version from my firmware thread. (Link in my sig) I recommend using root66. Safe, Quick, Easy and Effective!

Afterwards, go get Frosty! :cool:

:cowboy:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Darron614:
Everything seems great so far. I did odin to stock, wipe, odin recovery, install superuser from recovery, wipe, and flash rom. I miss the Note 2 wallpapers though, I thought the feather looked pretty slick as the lockscreen wallpaper.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Well, that does get you to where you need to be!

In the future though, consider the root66 method.

Odin root66 firmware.

Install Recovery via Goo or Rom Manager (or however you want)

Flash Rom!

Thats it!

Just a suggestion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ScottBroker:
So teather will not work then until the 15 toggles?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jon.s.nelson:
Thanks DocHoliday77 for the advice. I've read on some of your other threads too about the 10 partitions that are flashed in ODIN. Just wondering if you can explain, since I think it would benefit all Frosty users:

Would these 10 partitions be maintained for all future flashes that we make ie. Frosty ROMS, or AOKP ROMs? Also, what if later on we formatted our sd card (like some of us crack flashers are are recommended doing occasionally) Would that then negate the benefits of the 10 partition ODIN flash we had previously made?

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Any partitions not flashed with custom Roms will remain as is until you flash a different firmware via Odin, or future OTAs. For example, lets say you were to Odin flash official JB, then you flash every Rom here in development, your 'other' partitions will remain untouched and as they were when you flashed via Odin.

Likewise, with the sdcard, either internal or external. They are separate from all the other partitions and will have no effect on them.

These are the partitions included in the Stock Firmware (they are the same in all versions of stock FW)

system.ext4.img

cache.ext4.img

recovery.img

boot.img (kernel)

NON-HLOS.bin (modem)

aboot.mbn (apps boot)

sbl2.mbn (secondary bootloader)

sbl3.mbn (secondary bootloader)

rpm.mbn

tz.mbn (trusted zone)

The last 5 are never flashed by custom roms, so they will remain as whatever your last full stock, unmodified build was. If you first got the phone and went straight to flashing Roms, and have never applied an OTA update, or Odin flashed the firmware, then those 5 partitions are still from UVALEM, the very first build!

I hope that makes sense! Tried to explain as best as I could.

No.

Flash stock UVDLJA firmware via odin first. Root66 is identical but prerooted.

THEN you install recovery and flash frosty normally.

I would probably hold off for a while before flashing themes and mods, devs havnt had a whole lot of time to incorporate their work over since the official release. Although its still JB it is a different build and the framework will be different. You may find some things that will work but your taking a chance!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lokichim:
no the original will flash a t mobile modem along with everything which will screw you over just wait for att release

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

also i think the themes were meant for li6,li7 or li8 which still wouldnt work on the JA, so just be patient let dj work his magic on the release. let him setup everything to how it was before then he will push out theme's or edits pretty much. Darron is probably doing the same for the new bas. just give them time. and no one ask how's the battery it just came out yesterday if you are interested so much flash it yourself and you be the judge

can I use Mobile Odin pro for root66?

And just so I'm clear ... After I flash root66 firmware via Odin, all I have to do is go into recovery and flash V8? Is this correct?

I already read all of this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 but I got confused at the different choices.

Clarify Please..

What are the differences between all these? Root66 vs Official Firmware vs OTA Updates. Do I have to revert back to stock when using Official firmware? I can usually figure all of this out so I rarely ask questions. But I'm stuck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] philliman:
Wassup good people!! If I had Odin back to stock when Li8 came out and then started using Frosty (just curious and I know it's recommended to Odin to stock wit the official JB) would the partitioning make a huge difference?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] white00gt:
Grrr wanted to get my flash on-lol guess all the builds have been running fine because it was a generic modem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jon.s.nelson:
I think you would have had to flash a stock JB ROM (not ICS) via Odin for it to have made a difference, and I don't think there were any of those available (unless those leaks were available in .tar form) :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Abbens:
I just flashed from V7. I noticed one thing on the about device screen under baseband it differs from what you posted on the 1st page. Mine shows T999UVLH2 Frosty JB 4.1.1-V8
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsmikeramsay:
Well after flashing via Odin you gotta install a custom Recovery again...I used GooManager to do that for me...But yeah after that go into recovery and flash v8. You may also wanna do a full wipe just to be safe....less likely to run into issues

I believe it does bro...since it's already partitioned...you want to have it paritioned for JB instead of ICS. Running JB on a ICS partition can cause issues....like Android System running so high etc etc...

Hey,all,

Sorry for my absence, I see a lot of posts asking for clarification on my previous posts here and here.

I believe jangst123 and itsMikeRamsey have answered most of your questions, but to be sure:

Flashing the root66 firmware is exactly the same as flashing the regular firmware. They are identical except root66 is pre-rooted.

All you have to do is Odin flash root66, install recovery via Rom or Goo manager, then flash away!!!

This is one of the few times I cannot recommend using Mobile Odin. Chainfire specifically coded it to NOT flash these other partitions. This was done to protect those who may not understand what they are doing.

***NOTE***

If you have any other questions regarding this, please go to my

Firmware/OTA thread

and ask there! Its easier for me to keep up with your questions and it keeps DJs thread specifically on-topic!

Sorry DJ, didn't intend to hijack the thread like this!
