Dowload the cyanogenmod installer on windows run it and you should be good to flash any ROM and also go back to 4.3 roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
I will give it a try and let you know if it works
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
I have run into similar situations and this option although quite timely always gets me out of it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
i tried that cyangonmod installer and it only let me install the cyanogenmod rom.

any other suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
Now that you have cm installed download and flash an older ROM that supports your bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
i am just looking to go back to the stock rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
Oh OK there is a thread for that lemme find it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
the thing is i am on a KitKat Rom. and need to revert back to stock rom. such as JellyBean
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
Yeah, I know that. You can't revert because your recovery is damaged. It happens sometimes with kk nightly ROMs. In order to fix your recovery you need to use the get cm installer with windows. This will fix the recovery. Than all u need to do is look for the AT&T 4.3 Stock Software thread and follow the directions there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
so what i need to do is download the latest Cyanogenmod 11.1?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
No... Go to your PC and Download the cyanogenmod installer

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Flashing the ROM won't fix the problem. Re-rooting it will.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
okay it is installing software onto phone now
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greysonofusa:
Dow load the mobile app on Google play and follow the directions for your phone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
Okay I got it to install on my phone.

Should I try and flash a 4.3 custom ROM with CWM or... Try to flash stock ROM with ODIN?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
i went through the installation of the cyanogenmod installer and it installed cyanogenmod onto my phone but i still cant install stock rom onto my phone. i still get the same error as before.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laughingT:
Maybe give the approach decribed in this thread here.

It looks like you will need to read and follow the post flash instructions very carefully.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
I will give that try. I will let you know if it works. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
That is indeed the definitive solution. Looks like you were on 4.3 prior to going CM or you, at least, had the 4.3 bootloader which was why Odin failed trying to flash stock 4.1.1

I've been able to go from stock 4.1.1 to Kit Kat based CM11 and back to stock 4.1.1 without any hitches at all. This would be because CM (like most custom ROMs) doesn't mess with your bootloader. If you had the 4.3 bootloader, however, you can only go back to stock 4.3. You should be able to flash the 4.3 stock restore from custom recovery without any hitches. This option has always worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
This Worked for me. Thank you!

Hi I updated my phone to kitkat ota update and never had my phone rooted can I root it is my? Also the main reason I want root is that once you do the update you lose your tethrring capability . Any help will be appreciated

No root available yet. A search would have told you that.

Please remember to use the search function or Google before posting questions.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gearshift:
If you took the OTA and are now on official kitkat (NC2), then as of now, there is no way for you to root. you would have had to have had root on jelly bean, then flash a pre-rooted kitkat custom rom in order to acheive kitkat root. furthermore, we are also currently blocked from downgrading back to JB either. So all you can do is wait a few days or so until a new developement is made

I've been gone for a bit due to illness and such, but was able to get my N990A rooted with Towelroot. I haven't been able to successfully find an explanation concerning a process for installing a custom recovery and ROM yet, though. I seen to search all through the forums here, but there are so many threads that I'm not sure which one to rely on for my needs. Because of the locked bootloader on this phone, is it still not possible to install a custom recovery and a custom ROM? If so, will someone please point me in the right direction so that I can figure out how to do it? I've only ever used TWRP and CWR. I've read about safestrap (I think it was), but I don't know anything about it. Sorry for the long post, but I'm a real newbie at this and want to learn everything I can. Help a n00b out, please?

So I created a backup with TWRP and now am trying to restore from said back up. It's been running for nearly an hour and its still on restoring data. Just wondering if this is normal. The progress bar is still spinning, but hasn't made any progress really since it started on the data partition. Just wondering what I should do in this kind of case.

Edit: Coming up on two hours, I'm scared to let my phone die. Really not sure what to do with it tho at this point.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mojar7070:
If you still want to continue the restore, you can always plug it in the charger..... It'll charge while in recovery. One of the perks when using TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p4ranoid4ndroid:
what will happen if I let it die? its been going for hours now and I just have a feeling it got stuck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
I wouldn't recommend letting it die... Just in case, you don't want to end up with a bigger problem.

I would power off the device before letting it die and reboot to recovery and try restoring the backup again.

If it still doesn't restore your backup, you could try re-flashing TWRP again and then try restoring the backup.

Also did you make your backup with an older version of TWRP and then updated to a newer version? If so reflash the version of TWRP you used to make the backup with and then restore your backup.

[Xperia SP General] chewlohseng:
Most Generic variants are largely the same, as long as it's C5303 LTE, this should work fine. It's better for non-Singapore variants to flash Generic SG variant instead of SingTel Mobile SG variant, because it would not have SingTel's bloatware.

I don't know if Generic Philippines (or any other country) variant is 100% same or not, but it should be 90+% similar.
