That's because you're in the Samsung Nexus S 4G threa SGS3 threads are over there *points to device search bar* .

i m in right thread i have galaxy 3 but now buying NEXUS S

As long as u see Google logo you are safe. Just use the key combination to enter the recovery mode and flash a ROM and u should be fine.
Thnx.

[Q] Stuck on Samsung Screen after CWM reboot.. PLEASE HELP! SOLVED...

Not really sure what happened..
My phone wouldn't reboot properly.. kept getting "Force Close" for any number of processes on my screen. So I decided to go into CWM to recover a previous backup. It seemed to go well. But when it rebooted, it now stays on the Samsung Screen and nothing else happens. I've tried to get back into CWM by holding down Volume and Power buttons.. but again .. nothing happens.. Just keeps going to the Samsung Screen and freezing there..
I have NO IDEA what to do now.
Any and all help is so greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance.

Can you get into download mode? Hold the volume up and down button then while the phone is plugged in the USB. From there, do a one-click back to stock.

I just one clicked back to stock.
Do I now have to re- ROOT the phone now to get a custom ROM and my CWM back on my phone along with all my APPS that I downloaded .. that can only work on rooted phones?

See the purple link in my sig flash the one click in it and you will be rooted however only use it as a stepping stone to one of the GB stock based roms or ICS flavors. And yes you have to reinstall your apps.

Quick question.. First off.. Thank you so much for all your help..
My question is.. after I do this one click.. can I then install [ROM] Valhalla Final [KJ6 Based].. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402966
It says that : Must have pre-installed kernel with clockwork recovery!

Yes if you installed the one click I created or installed the one click with antonx's kernel.

[Q] LG P500, bricked AGAIN!

Ok, hello guys, Kevin here. I have a huge problem here. I rooted my friends phone a few days ago, and he installed a custom font on ROM Toolbox.
After he did that, he rebooted his phone, and then it was stuck in LG logo. He gave the phone to me, cuz I am the only one in our school that knows about Android phones, I have unbricked lots of phones (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini, Samsung Galaxy Gio, Huawei Ideos X5 etc.). But this one ... I have tried KDZ, LG Update Tool, and lots of other stuff, but nothing doesen't work, nothing I tell ya! The phone is soft-bricked, so no panic guys, can u tell me how to unbrick this blazing stupid phone.The hard-reset won't work, and he did not have recovery on his phone yet, and the (Power button + Volume UP/DOWN + Home button) won't work. Please if u try to help, I don't want that KDZ junk, tried it -.- No work ...
PLEASE HELP ME !

Mobile odin support i9500?...can someone confirm this?..tq
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

mobile odin is not yet supported for 9500, but you can simply flash either modem or any other files via flashify on both 9500/9505

hmm
EDIT.. yeah I think I have that wrong, apologies OP..

Hello yes mobile odin pro will work but it is easier to flash through recovery on the i9500 follow link to modems currently i9500 is the only version that can flash modems in recovery

I wasn't sure if aptoide was a pirate app store or not. one thing I've read says it's used by developers, other things say get paid apps for free.. if it's the later, this wasn't the best place to put that link.

Do note that if your phone has the nasty habit of sometimes not booting up when charger is plugged in, it will fail and you'll have to flash a new stock firmware with odin.
This happened to me yesterday.. Very nasty.. Recovery wouldn't boot neither except for download mode.

That's the problem. It broke my recovery. It couldn't boot anything up except for download mode.

everroot ?
while I'm here, was wondering if everroot works with all the things Samsung has done to make rooting more problematic.. it's gonna be a while before I flash a stock fw to find out for myself and I don't have a laptop to use on a regular basis..
