Kenny, I just wanted to let you know how much your support for this community is appreciated. I've never seen you ignore a question or get an attitude with anyone. When my GS3 dies I'm getting an M8 in hopes that you will bless us with a ROM to flash. I've been struggling for some time now and my phone was a gift so I've never been able to donate. Don't think a lack of donation is a lack of appreciation. It looks like my situation is about to change and when it does my lack of donations will too and you are first on the list. Thanks again Kenny.

Factory reset and Cache that is all that is needed unless you want to dirty but you can't dirty from a AOSP or CM. I went on old habit and went into advance and wiped system thus how I learned and we realized that is a no no for this update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
I just tried to flash again, now my phone is stuck at the splash screen and will not do anything else. thoughts on how to fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Did you try to dirty? If yes factory reset and wipe cache. If no did you wipe system? If yes reflash 3.17 and then 3.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
I am not having any luck here.

I wiped cache, factory reset. flashed 3.17, then 3.3 and still stuck at the samsung galaxy s3 screen.

i also got a message saying i was missing root, which is weird. I didnt know you can lose it during this process? i selected to add root. still nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Okay may I suggest a full wipe of everything including data then run 3.17 then 3.3

in recovery wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

then go into mounts and storage format /system

then /data

then /cache

flash 3.17 boot up setup your account and don't wait for apps to install just reboot into recovery then flash 3.3

I think factory reset might not be needed if you format system but just something i have always done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orlzzt:
I'm just thinking out loud here; but wouldn't you;

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe Cache/Dalvik

Format System

Flash 3.17

Boot up 3.17 (don't install any backed up data/apps. just let it boot)

Reboot into recovery

Wipe data/factory reset.

Wipe Cache/Dalvik

Flash 3.3

Or am I just complicating things?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
it is about the same as what i said other then the additional wipes between 3.17 and 3.3 which i don't see how that would hurt.

EDIT: My thinking is system needs a format something got crossed in the table maybe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
What I did is flash one of the other mk3 roms (stock would be your best bet) and then flashed this one... Now that I think of it I think that is why I don't have the data speed in status bar, I used the wicked rom, turned off all the bells and whistles before flashing this one........... Just a thought
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orlzzt:
Did you dirty flash?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Yep, dirty flashed this on top of [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] wicked variation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
The only thing I did differently than this is I flashed Dandroid (without booting into it) rather than Wicked but I still have the data speed in the Statusbar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
If you flash an mk3 based rom that has the option to show or hide the data speed and choose to hide it, then dirty flash this rom it should stay hidden
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
Tried all of your suggestions above.

my phone will not get past the Samsung Galaxy S3 or KT747 screen (depending what kernal is installed)

now what?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] denero1:
Coming from cyannogenmod

I noticed under it said do not wipe >.> is that if i'm coming from your previous vers of the peoples rom?

Don't I wipe cache and delvik as usual seeing as I'm coming from cyangenmod 11?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
If coming from any aosp based rom I highly suggest doing a full wipe, flashing a TW rom and then flash this one dirty over top of the other tw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orlzzt:
What kernels have been tried? It comes with KT747. That should boot up fine.

You just wiped data and cache?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
wipe data & cache, format system / cache / data, flash 3.17 & then 3.3, kt747, stock kernals and nothing. still gets stuck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Are you downloading to computer then coping to phone or downloading to phone directly? Check MD5 maybe?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Don't sweat it man, just glad you have enjoyed the work we all put into it and the atmosphere here among The People! Thanks for the kind works.

Did you boot into 3.17? If so try flashing the stock deodexed MK3 after that, then 3.3. Usually it is Taz's phone with these problems ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Awesome! Dazednconfused's ROM has this option (as it is mostly his systemui) and he has the extended settings to turn the signal off. I think we might have a flashable coming soon to remove it....providing my compiler doesn't blow up systemui....or Rompnit might also get one here soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orlzzt:
Wipe data/cache/system

Flash 3.17

Reboot

Go back to recovery

Wipe data and cache only

Flash 3.3

Reboot

Try that and that alone....

i did all of this a bunch of time and nothing. weird.

anyway, i ended up odin back to stock. , now going to root and flash 3.17, then 3.3. wish me luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
wow!! everything was updating cool until i flashed peoples rom 3.17..... now i am stuck at the samsung galaxy s3 screen. wow. does this mean i have to odin again??? dang

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jairsantana:
Try to install new 4.3 people's rom and i got build.prop error can someone tell me what did I do wrong??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It told you "build.prop error" when flashing? Or when it booted? What recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jairsantana:
I got that when trying to install:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Let me guess, TWRP is your recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jairsantana:
nah men it's philz touch the lattes!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I've never ever gotten a build.prop error in recovery... Did you verify md5sum of the ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
OK, well this is interesting!!

after reading the last few posts, I flashed a new recovery naddicts cwm from phils touch and the 3.3 Peoples ROM finally flashed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Switching to T-Mo or AT&T?

TWRP has always been weird like that on Samsung devices. Now on HTC you have to use TWRP for aroma installers to work..go figure!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
strange, but im happy now!

still getting familiar with the new install, what is this 0B/s icon on the top left corner of the screen, and how do I remove?

i want to remove the spidey pull down too, will the old version work on this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
There is a new removal for 3.3 in post 2 lower down. That indicator is network speed transfer rate. ATM you would need to flash Wicked ROM or something else that contains it, turn it off in settings then flash back. It is baked into this systemui at the moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Don't know yet after I posted that I realized that no Sprint. T-Mo sucks azz here not a fan of At&t either had them once left for a reason. I am holding on to hope they might change their mind lol if not I am looking at the Nexus 6 which looks excellent at this point still all rumors.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Hope Nexus 6 is decent as it usually runs about $400...affordable at off-contract price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
I might pick up the GS5 in the next week or two, what custom ROM should I be looking at over there? any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Considering all the choices there currently <sarcasm.jpg>...there is only one stock based ROM currently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orlzzt:
Have any been written? Have they even rooted it yet?

I've fallen pretty stone in love with my Nexus 5. Very quick, great features and tons of development. (no Knox!) But it will be interesting to see the comparisons between the S5 and the M8.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Folks were asking earlier how to get rid of the data in the status bar and we have a good work around, but for fun I themed the Dandroid SystemUI.apk to be like TPR's. The result is no data in the statusbar, 1x signal enabled, and for some reason I've lost the spidy pull down. I'm guessing there is a mod I'm unaware of that enables custom pull downs. Any way, If anyone wants to play with it and see what it's like you can get it HERE. Just flash in recovery.

Looks like lots of unlocked development here http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g2/development. I am guessing you are not talking about Sprint. I see there is a workaround for the KitKat update in Sprint also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Actually he's kinda right about the g2... It's a great phone bit a huge PIA... NONE of the aosp roms are stable at all and the only stock based Kitkat rom is the actual stock rom. There is root and recovery for Kitkat on the g2, but if you want a stable phone you have to run stock rooted... Not to mention having to do a ton of workarounds to actually run Kitkat aosp roms (downgrading Radios, bootloader and such) it is a great phone, the stock rom is great but it's been a pain with the new Kitkat update...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Even PACman ROM? Instructions look simple enough in the OP :confused: But I do see it requires a little more work to get there...but you know me and always running modified stock anyway...no matter what it is always the most stable. This is why TPR always based on stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danny1st:
Loaded TPR on a friend phone and his contacts are not showing up. Confirmed that his contacts were on gmail account and not on the phone prior to flashing? Google account is not showing an error when I do a manual sync? Any suggestions? Was his only concern prior to flashing, and now I feel I need to remedy it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Wipe data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danny1st:
Yep, clean flash: wiped data, cache, prior to root and prior to flash

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

Done this a few times for others, no problems rooting, flashing, and never encountered this before?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Me neither. My guess is it is not reaching the Google servers. Is his sign-in correct? Are all his apps redownloading from Play? On wifi or cell data? Restore the backup and try a dirty flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danny1st:
sign in is good, have to ask about the apps/play store. Thought there was a way to force Google to update by clearing data on framework, contacts application or something? Don't think his play store is up to date as well. Tried to searching, but couldn't find what I was looking for (guess cause I'm not quite sure what it is I am looking for?!?) Like I said, never had this issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrox:
It may be the google play services trying to update or is stalled out. On mine, when you first flash and its trying restore all your backups it will also try to update your google play services if it is outdated. The google play services will not update while all the other apps are updating and all the google apps will not function until the google play service is updated. I just stop the update process and then update google play service reboot and let the updates begin again...cbrox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danny1st:
By update play service you mean flash an apk or is there a way to force the update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrox:
the version mine is at is 4.3.25(1117461-036) If it's not trying to update and your google apps(hangouts, G+, Gsearch) are functioning then it's at the current rev. But you can also try going into your app manager scroll down to google play services select it and clear the cache and then reboot to see if that helps.

You may also want to check your download of the rom to make sure it wasn't corrupted, re-download and re-flash.

You can also verify whether you can access your contacts from your google account on your pc to rule out any issues with google.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danny1st:
Always verify md5sum before flashing. Google account is good to go, confirmed on pc. Again, do I need to find the latest play store apk or is there a way to force the update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrox:
what is your version(google play services) at?
