Many thank yous good sir no more spinning wheel..was making me dizzy watching it..lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tromatic:
Hope this is a noob question, and I did not see it in the thread.

When I flash a ROM, the number one problem I have is the phone hanging on boot, usually on the ROM's custom boot screen. I THINK it's probably because I have an incompatible kernel.

My question is why can't I easily find a TWRP or CWM flahable zip of the kernel for the particular ROM I'm flashing? That's all I want in this world, is a link to the kernel itself for the ROM I'm flashing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsaucier0810:
Find the ROM you like then ask dev for kernel or whomever started thread.. Mobile Odin pro is an easy way to flash said kernel. Also make sure it's a clean flash...no dirty dirty flashing. clean caches seemed to free up that problem for me in the past...

Edit: also know that the first time starting up new ROMs can take a little longer

Im tried flash custom rom at CWM but im failed. Error was E:signature failed or something like that..

Your in the wrong section. This is the US Sprint S3 thread. You need the international forums.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
All ROMS come with a kernel that works with that ROM. The hanging part is usually CM based ROM the first boot takes FOREVER. That is usually mention in the OP of the ROM or some where close to the OP. If not a CM based ROM do the factory rest, clean cach, clean dalvik. This should solve your problem unless you have a bad download check the md5 on the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsaucier0810:
I read some where that we'd get update at the end of the year. November or Dec. I belIeve that info came from SamMobile's website. Also something about skipping the 4.2.2 and going straight for 4.3

Download superuser and move it to your phones SD card or external SD card then flash a rom with cwm.

Make sure the rom is for the right device or it'll brick it

Why does the international s3 have 4.2.2 but not sprint lol?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tromatic:
I've installed Baked, M.O.A.R and the one-click MD4 restore. All three of them boot fairly quickly on first boot. SuperNexus hangs forever. I'll try again and go wash dishes or something.

Thanks!

M.O.A.R is great, BTW.

signal strenght & 4g on Sprint S3

From the maps for voice and data are say off withe the S3 andn S4. I have aftermarket Roms on S3 I get 4g LTE at times with dandriod.

Stock TW for S3 not 4g ever and not signal.

S4 stock 1 bar it has and no 4g LTE.

Other companies map cover the same areas with the same looking maps like T-Mobile and there s3 works fine 4g LTE and a galaxy s blaze 4g.

Why CDMA SGS3 so weak. Drop calls. Calls break up inside and out. Flat area maked 2 blocks then full signal. Maps show good not best or fair..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Not sure if there is a question in here but you may want to try different modems. Links to modems and stuff are in the S3 Faq the link is in my sig.

I'm glad you got something out of that. I'm having a hard time understanding it.

Well MOAR is a TW based and Baked is CM based. The issue appears to be with a port? But I don't see that rom listed under Sprint. The only advice I can give at this moment is to contact the dev in PM i know you can't post to his thread yet due to the 10 post restriction.

Broken Wifi Radio on Rooted Sprint GS3

I rooted my GS3 a couple of days ago. Since I rooted, my wifi radio will not turn on. I cannot even get the radio to change colors on the drop down menu. I unrooted the phone to see if the root was what was breaking the radio. Nothing has changed. How do I get my wifi back?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdjfollower:
I have a question. I recently bought a galaxy s3 from Boost Mobile. I also recently updated it via an OTA software update. Would I still be able too root it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
You rooted using a kit correct? If the answer is yes your going to have to flash a kernel to correct this. Freezas thread has a stock kernel or you can use any other TW kernel available. Make sure it's for Sprint S3 phone.

Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tromatic:
MOAR works great as well as Baked. Both install and run perfectly with TWRP. I can swap between them in minutes as well as the MD4 with zero issues with a wipe and restore. It was the SuperNexus ROM that hard-bricked my phone. Done with that one for a while.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chopsticksny:
Is safe to use modified/theme/inverted browser to search or make purchase online?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Again I don't see that in the Sprint Dev nexus implying CM base at least to me is it an international ROM? Which should NEVER be put on our phones.

EDIT: Upon further review this is SPRINT

In the OP of SuperNexus states this:

Officially Supported Devices:

AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II (i777)

AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (jflteatt)

Samsung Galaxy S II (i9100)

Samsung Galaxy S IIG (i9100g)

Samsung Galaxy S III (i9300)

Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9500)

Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE (jfltexx)

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltetmo)

Samsung Galaxy Note (n7000)

None of which is this device. You are lucky you didn't hard brick your device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
I flashed Supernexus with out any issues are you sure you flashed the one built for the d2spr many people flashed with no issues other than music not playing. Did you have a boot loop cause that is not a brick. A brick is no Odin mode, no recovery, no boot at all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tromatic:
Yep, d2spr. Hard-brick, as in dead. Had to use the de-brick recovery method found here. Worked like a champ. Bummer, because I really like SuperNexus on my SII. I can only assume at this point I'm doing something wrong, but I don't understand what it could be given that a number of other ROM's flash and work just fine.

bthorne, what recovery did you use to flash SuperNexus, and what ROM were you running when you did? I've been looking all over for a recovery-flashable CM kernel that SuperNexus uses with no luck. I want to install (one more time) the ROM and then flash the kernel. It has to be a kernel issues, from what I can tell from my limited knowledge and experience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
I use twrp check pm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
So you have a successful port? Is it posted in DEV? I tried to help him but couldn't find the thread if you are testing please let people know they are testing so they aren't looking to us for help when we have no clue about the port or where to point them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
The port is not posted due to I never heard back from developer of the ROM to post a thread so I was following the rules of xda no posting a thread.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
That is cool just let the users know so they aren't looking for help from us. I spent a decent amount of time trying to find something to help him out and had no where to point him. Kind of felt like a dog chasing my tail ;)

EDIT:

actually found the link i apologize for that was searching for the l710 instead of d2spr
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
On the super nexus thread there is a sprint version at the bottom of the thread. but he has not posted anything over there about his issue that he had. I feel if you have a issue with a ROM bring it up on the thread. Some one can help out the dev and users.

Got it nvm lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tromatic:
Waiting to hit my ten-post entry pass.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tromatic:
Perhaps I have a fundamental misunderstanding of how flashing works. When I try to install a ROM, it should not matter what you are coming from, correct? I know there are some exceptions like CM, though. Does flashing a ROM not overwrite the current kernel? From what I understand, boot-hangs seem to be caused by an incompatible kernel. Is that not correct? When I install a new ROM, I wipe EVERYTHING, to include formatting.

My noob question, then, is when you install a new ROM, can you wind up having an incompatible kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
No the kernel is built with ROM how new is your phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tromatic:
A week or so. Asking over in the SuperNexus thread now. Hope I don't get killed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
All ROMS come with compatible kernel for that ROM and phone. Only exception from my knowledge is International and cross carriers. International will hard brick your phone and cross carrier will soft brick or maybe even hard not sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GSXeclipsePSI:
On S3 I used Lb7 and MD4 same results. S4 was a friends phone so not much testing with it.

Maybe Sprint is doing work in your area contact them and see what they say. If this happens at your house ask about a Air Rave.

Just a FYI it would be helpful if you reply to the last comment pertaining to the conversation. I was a little lost and forgot what was said in regards to your issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
I pointed him over to the new phone recovery issue his phone is only a week old he has to have a modified custom recovery to flash ROMs.

Cool I saw that. Just confused because he said he was able to flash other ROMS but not this one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
I seen he said he was able to flash baked maor and he said he has tried all the Recovery's even the modified I don't think the modified Recovery's are 100% yet some say that they can only falsh TW and some say they can flash TW and some AOSP roms. I'm kinda glad I'm not in that boat but I feel sorry for the people going through it. Get a replacement and than you can't flash your roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tromatic:
I hope I'm not confusing you dudes after all of your help. This TWRP that I have been using from the start (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-d2spr.tar) works great, able to read all SD content. Because of the real confusing mess of file names and versions (to me, anyway) I hope that means something. It was Clockwork that would not read the SD cards. I tried the suggested tweaked CWM recoveries that can read the SIII SD cards, but the install of SuperNexus still hangs on boot. I've tried LiquidSmooth, and that hangs as well.

No idea. Like I said, the few other ROM's I've tried work. Dunno. Anyway, thanks for your help. At this point, I'm thinking that I'm not doing something wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Aosp roms are not booting on these new devices. There's a few modified 10.1 based aosp roms which will boot but that is it. All TW MD4 roms should boot on the new devices. Every single rom you mentioned is an Aosp rom.

I'm having a problem trying to flash the 8-20, 8-21, 8-22 nightly CM 10.2 roms on my friends GS3. I've cleared the dalvik, system, and cache.

Boot Cycle Rom Flash

The phone is over 1 year old, purchased when it was originally released through Sprint. I used the universal Samsung root toolkit Version 7.0, and

the recovery is TWRP not sure which version. This phone had Jellybomb before I wiped and tried to flash CM 10.2. After that flash failed, I tried the latest version of Liquid Smooth 4.2.2 I believe. That flash also was stuck in the boot animation for over 15 minutes. I realize the initail boot can take longer than normal, but I figured that length of time is too much. I appreciate any advise you can give me.

Hey gang,

So I I flashed Wicked Sensations ROM, and that went well, and now I'm using the CWM. Thing is, I wanted to try out another ROM or two and it just doesn't seem to work at all. I can restart into recovery mode no problem, but I've run into problems either getting a valid packet for AOKP (which, I believe, does not have a good S3 build, so that may just be that) or cyanogenmod (Which seemed to go well, but then hung up on the Samsun logo with the wicked looking android guy on it.)

Am I just not being patient enough when I've loaded the new ROM, or does this seem to be a different problem?

(I do a factory reset and wipe cache from CWM in recovery mode)
