Flash what roms in cwr? Kexec or not? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

alright guys i want to flash beans build 8 but it says to use ez recovery with kexec. can i flash in cwr 6.0.0.8 since i have unlocked bootloader now or do we have to wait for roms to start being built for unlocked bootloaders?

My understanding is that Bean build 8 uses kexec so you need to use 6.0.1 cwm recovery. Once the roms are made for the unlocked non- kexec, you can use the regular cwm recovery and rom. Again this my understanding, please feel free to correct me.

Currently using a kexec rom (Bean's Stock 8). How would I go to non-kexec?

Title basically says it all. I'm using Bean's Stock 8 right now, and now that the bootloader is unlocked, how exactly do I switch to something like the latest release of CM10? Thanks much, guys.

[Q] Stock flashing

Hi all, first post here.
I'm new to rooting and flashing and got my GS3 rooted and unlocked. Before I start flashing ROMs and trying out kernels with them I want to know if there is the stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (un touched OTA) ROM and the appropriate kernel. The only stock ROMs I'm finding are ones that are altered or outdated.
Recap: 100% untouched 4.1.1 ROM and kernel, also Touchwiz launcher if it has changed going to Jelly Bean.
No one knows?

Section 5 of Droidstyle quite awesome guide:
You would flash this using Odin to return to stock, unrooted VRBLK3 4.1.1. It will format your internal sdcard and re-lock your bootloader. This includes the modem, kernel, and original Verizon bloatware. Whatever customizations you intend to install will be completely removed.
Or are you asking for a rooted version of the VRBLK3 rom? In which case, flash the rooted VRBLK3 version using CWM or TWRP recovery.
That's what I was looking for. I just want to have the stock setup on hand in case I need to put it back.
Is there a file location that has the kernel and rom separated rather than one file?
Thank you.

Hi. I just read a few guides since I don't know how this phone works that well, but as far as I am concerned, you would have to first install a rom or kernel with CWM 5 or higher, not 6. So there are ROMS on gingerbreaed that have this... But just to be safe, i would install cm7.... Look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Installing_a_ROM
Your best bet is to use a 1click like eollie's 1 click with a modded kernel that has cwm built in, first link in the 2nd post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Once you flash that, you will have cwm, which you can then use to flash any variation of ICS. You might need to be on ICS then go to JB, depends on the ROM but most will let you go straight from the cwm that the above link to the new ROM.
If you don't need GPS, don't mind small bugs, etc, then there are several JB's out there.
If you want GPS, good battery life, stability, etc, then try ultragen and the kernel linked in my sig.
Just flash Fluidification's CM10.1 Aries. I flashed it from 2.3.6 stock with CWM 5.0 2 8 and it automatically updated me to 6.0.2.8 at the beginning of the flashing process. Hope i helped!

[Q] XT926 won't boot after installing cyanogenmod

I am trying to install my first custom ROM on my XT926 ota kk 4.4.2 rooted bootloader unlocked. I have cwm 6.0.4.4 and I have tried installing cm 10.2 stable and then I tried cm 11 snapshot and it says it has installed .zip files successfully but when I reboot it just hangs up on the M logo and I have to restore my ota to get my phone to reboot, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I believe most of the Roms in the Dev forum are still using 4.1.2 base, which means you cant flash them unless you go back to jb first.
There are some 4.4 test builds around you could flash on kk, sorry I don't have the link to them.

I tried one of the cm 11 ROMs from cyanogenmod's website, are you saying that those are also designed for the 4.1.2 kernel? If so does anyone have any suggestions on how to revert back to the jelly bean kernel, Also I was wondering if its OK to download the custom rom.zip file directly to the phone and put it in the right directory instead of moving it from the computer.
Unless they were updated to 4.4 source in the last week, I would say they are still on jb source. Most of the Roms you will find are a jellykat mix.
I posted a guide in the general forum, near the bottom you will find a pre-edited jb file you can use to flash with rsd.
Yes you can DL Roms right to your phone if you wish.

Custom Rom on locked bootloader

Was wondering if superliterom is the only rom I can flash on the latest ne1 bootloader? Or can I run any custom 4.4 build?

That is the only rom that can be flashed with SafeStrap once you are on VRUDNE1 OTA. You can only flash VRUDNE1 based roms and only one exists today.

Superlite ROM is the only one. Do not attempt to flash any AOSP based 4.4.2 ROMs. Bad things will happen.
Edit - Ninja'd.....SNOOP!!!!!!!
That's what I figured from what I was reading. Thank you.
