OP edited to clear up any confusion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Karmaxx:
Hi I'm coming from the LiquidSmooth v2.7 Rom and I wanted to flash my T999V back to stock to do a fresh install of different roms.

I followed all the steps the OP posted but used root66_GLW_T999VVLDLL1.tar.md5 to keep my root (I didn't use Triangle Away, because I'd be entering custom recoveries afterwards). Everything worked on odin, but after the restart my phone is hangs at the Samsung screen. Do you guys know if I did anything wrong or if there's anyway I can revert back?

Edit: I did a battery pull and it's still hanging at Samsung, I put it back into download mode and it says the current binary is Samsung Official, while the system status is Custom, is this normal? I also can't go into recovery mode :(

Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset.

Edit: sorry, just seen you can't get into recovery. Are you sure you're doing it right? Hold power home & vol up until it vibrates then release power. If that doesn't work, re flash root66 in Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mznatnat:
So here's a bummer.... did all of the instructions to a tee..... My flash count went from 10 to 1 ................

I am unrooted and have no way to access triangle away to remove the 1 flash count....

I have to re-root my phone, use triangle away, then unroot it again......

UGHHHH!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You must have still had a custom recovery or kernel installed.

Easy enough to solve though.

Odin flash the root66 firmware.

Triangle away

Open supersu and select full unroot.

That's it! Maybe takes 10mins once you've got all your files ready.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mznatnat:
I fixed it no doubt about it, its just a pain in the ass.... I'm fully unrooted... TAKE THAT TMOBILE....

Hello, I've hard bricked my phone and they told me I have to take it to a service center since this one is a refurb (I bricked my original one). Is there a way I can reset the counter before they see it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blitzkrieg087:
Hi sorry for restarting this thread but I just have a quick question and if you could answer it that would be most appreciated: I want to flash the official firmware but I am not sure if the "modified" state will revert back to "normal" afterwards. This is my current status:

Counter: 0

Binary: Official

Device: SGH-T999

System: Modified

I do have stock recovery so no need to worry about that :)

So my question is do I need to have System show "normal" before flashing official firmware in order to receive updates OTA? Will doing the last step (clearing cache) revert System back to "normal"? I just want to make sure I get OTA updates after unrooting.

Thanks again and many more thanks for making this thread!

Best to go back to original stock and then use OTA?

I rooted my SGH-T999 (USA T-Mobile) back when I first got it, and so it is still running 4.04 ICS. I want to unroot and update it to the lastest ROM. Is it better to unroot it by flashing the same ROM I have not (original stock 4.04) and then using the OTA updates? Or should I just flash the latest ROM (Android 4.3) that was released (downloaded from SamMobile.com)? I am sure I have the right 4.04 ROM, but I am not sure which of the 4.3 ROMs I should flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Read the sticky threads is what id suggest first. And just get the root66 firmware and flash via odin. Much more reliable, quicker and easier than trying to get otas.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
When it comes to 4.3, UVUENC2 is your best bet as Samsung has patched the big Bug recently reported.

Agee with Doc's point and I'd add that using Mobile Odin to go with the Root66 of UVUENC2.

Sounds like you need to do some reading and flashing. ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] milky1112:
The only way to find what is best for you is to Flash and try it. No two users will experiance the same battery life (Typically) because we all use our phones differently, have our phones set up differently, Great thing about a rooted phone is that you can flash as many roms as you choose till you find a happy fit for yourself. So please take a second to look around, Might find something you like.

Now i'm off to bury this fuzzy critter...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
If you leave it alone and turn off sync, turn off data, turn off gps, turn off anything at all that runs in the background, delete Facebook app if you use it. Your phone will probably last a couple of days on a full charge. With full phone functionality.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kblegacy:
Hi there,

So I just received my Nexus 4 today, the first thing I did was cut my normal sim --> micro sim so I can use it on the nexus 4. I was successful in doing so and my phone is working perfectly. However, the problem i'm having is I didn't trim down the thickness of the sim card, and now my sim tray is stuck (unable to eject with the ejector tool). It does "try" to eject cause I see the edges pop out a bit, but not enough for me to get a good grip to fully pull it out.

Since the phone is working perfectly, I'm not really in a rush, but it's just annoying and for the future of getting new plans.

What should I do? Call Google for a new phone for my fail or will mobile store be able to help me?

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haroonazeem638:
ohh wow. I suggest using a tweezer or a needle to pull the tray out. Once out, GET A new micro sim and put it in.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kblegacy:
Took a break last night from trying so hard to get it to eject. So this morning I tried again, the 2nd time it managed to eject just SLIGHTLY more that gave me enough grip to pull it out. Afterward, I sanded down the back of the sim card to make it thinner, then insert it in again, test multiple time carefully to see if it'll freely eject. Works perfectly now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kid Poker:
Just walk into a T-Mobile store to change your sim card. It's free and in some cases, older sim cards will have problems with newer phone.

so i recently bought a nexus 4 and am a little confused with some minor issues i found. I'm not sure if these are glitches or things that are just there so please, don't hate.

first of all i have noticed that if i have my android keyboard open when i put my phone to sleep, when i wake it up, the downward facing navigation button appears on the lock screen. this is the button in place of the back key that allows you to hide the keyboard when in messaging, browser, etc. but it kind of bothers me that it appears in the lock screen and is responsive, but doesnt serve any purpose.

the second issue is that the lock sound seems to be a few seconds delayed.

thanks for the help

So I have noticed that on a few roms (mainly AOKP roms) that I do not receive voice mail notifications when a VM has been left.

I am on Virgin Canada, I have my phone number set up in the dialer options (rom was not detecting phone number from SIM) and VM number is also programmed into the dialer settings.

I am currently running Paranoid Android but I have had the issue previously on other AOKP roms so I do not suspect it is a rom specific problem.

I had fixed the issue when it happened on my S2 by adding my phone number in the dialer settings but the S3 seems to be different.

Any ideas are much appreciated.

When you're flashing, do you fully wipe?

Also, did you try Google Voice?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
Wiping shouldn't be the issue. It realistically should take care of itself and I've never had the problem myself on any of the ROMs. Try searching xda or googling it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Wiping can make one hell of a difference actually.. If you keep (or restore) bad/corrupted data, problems like these can/will happen.

Concider yourself lucky for never having such issue but it is very common that dirty flash causes random issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CyaN1de:
I always do full wipe on every new rom install.

Not sure if apn settings have anything to with it but I will look at those as well I guess, I have data and voice so guessing that will not be the issue.

Can't Google voice in Canada and it was working fine on the last rom I had installed on the phone but it was a TW

Like I said previously it seems to be a hit or miss things with AOKP based roms. Some I have no issues with and some do so I was hoping that someone knew what the issue was/is.

If not I guess I will just have to find another rom sadly as I like the PA rom.

IIRC it worked fine on Paranoid Kangdroid but I was having Wifi issues so I switched.......more if the hit or miss stuff.

To revert back to previous kernel

for SIRI KERNEL

re-flash "CM10 Alpha 4" or restore your backup

for CrackerizerKernel

Download and flash "kernel-cm-10-A4-restore.zip" from here(might work for SIRI kernel-never tried)...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2029921

for ALPHA 11 Kernel

you can just flash any kernel over it
