I just updated to bean 10. from synergy. As per instructions, I did the data reset and then wipe. Previous I had ez unlooker for the boot unlocker. Selected the unlocked version. Coudnt get it to load the first time secons time it went to the animation, but i pulled the battery. I rewiped and clean the cache again, but this time, I booted the phone, skiped all the sign up and update stuff and got the ez unlocker installed, unlocked the bootloader rebooted into recovery, (clockwork touch) and did my install. Now no issues at all, great battery life, on small thing, i got a volume booster app because the phone seems quieter. Oh, got the v.6 kernel too.
My question, I guess its a question. If you do a factory reset and data wipe ect ect as per instructions, arent you locking the bootlaoder? When I reinstalled the ex unlocker on the factory wipe, and loaded it, it gave me a bootlader status "unknown"
Nah a factory reset in custom recovery doesn't relock the bootloader. If it did we wouldn't be able to flash any of these ROMs because we wipe before flashing.
Mine says unknown as well. But I flashed imos new kernel an it worked despite saying unknown.

Hi, this is my first post ever on XDA so sorry if im doing it wrong or if its in the wrong spot . anyways i am running stock and am on rooted & unlocked vzw gs3 . I downloaded and installed Scotty's Clean Rom 2.5 which was released just last week. I wiped/factory reset/ formatted everything and the rom seems to install fine, but then when i reboot it stays on the sgs3 boot screen forever? I dont know why it is not working. Ive tried about three times. Thanks.

I had the same problem with 2.1 and 2.5 on my phone. For some reason, the flash does not work on my phone the first time. both times I had to pull the battery when I got stuck on the boot screen then boot into recovery, re-wipe, fix permissions and reinstall. It always worked for me on the second try.
Good luck.

This happened to me once. Try to re-root the phone again then flash it.
Did you do a dalvick cache wipe too? Also were you flashing a kernel with 2.5? Are you coming from stock or a custom rom too? And if you are coming from a custom rom does it use a custom kernel? You should also check the md5 of the rom and verify it didnt get corrupt on download/transfer.

Yes i wiped the dalvick, fixed permissions, formatted just about everything and factory reset, when that did not work I formatted and wiped everything before and after the flash. still no luck. I was not flashing a kernel, (to be honest im not even sure how to do that) and im coming from a stock rooted rom that i got when i first rooted with odin. I checked the md5 and everything matched up too.
How!?

How do you re root? would i have to use odin to flash the rooted rom again?
The process of how you flashed sounds right.
When you say it's stuck forever, how much time did you give the phone to reboot. Sometimes with a new rom, it may take 5 min or longer for reboot to finish. If you haven't already, just walk away for 5-10 min before checking it.

Clean rom wouldn't install for me on my phone... Weird stuff happened on the screen during boot animation and then would vibrate like crazy and go into boot loop... I came to realize that it was the kernel and I flashed lean kernel and it worked perfectly... I think these roms act differently on everyone's phones and sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to why things work for some people and not others... Just my. 02 cents

Earlier, I tried installing ViperXL 2.1.0 ROM, wiped the cache, system, and factory restored in TWRP.
When I was installing the ROM, it got stuck at 90%, so I just gave up. This is my first android phone in two years, so I am just
starting to get use to ROMs again.

Do it again. I had that happen to me once.
Reboot into recovery, Wipe System/Factory reset and reflash.
If you rooted from 2.20 flash the boot.img first
Could also be a corrupt zip. Chrome used to do that to me.

Just flashed again and this time it was successful.
Unchecked the exchange mail mod because that is what it froze at earlier.
Vioe does that to ne often. It hangs at 90%. Then I simply reboot to twrp and flash again and it works without modifying anything.. it's weird

The problem is either related to TWRP or Aroma. I'm pretty sure all ROMs that use Aroma experience this, although I don't think I've had it happen to me since installing TWRP 2.3.1.0 (at least, from what I remember)
Rebooting back into recovery and reflashing usually works, no matter what the selection is.
Hello i am trying to flash the jellywiz ROM onto my phone. I just got the s3, rooted, and unlocked it using the app on playerstore; EZ 1 button. I have also used the EZ recovery app to flash TWP onto the phone. I made a backup of the current, stock ROM. After that, i wiped the data/factory reset, wiped cache/dalvik cache. Afterwards i installed the ROM jellywiz, reboooted it, but no luck. It is taking forever, has been near 20 minutes or so. And i know that is a bit too long, so am i missing an installation step somewhere or what?
I have no issues with jellywiz at all i have installed about 30 times to my gs3 the only time i have jelly wiz do things like you discribe is when i put a kernel or something with my install or gapps. also i use twrp as well
the steps to install are
wipe factory reset
wipe system
then install
then wipe davlik and cache
then reboot
initial boot up is about 2-5 min i have with the latest version rls11 had 20-30 min times but both times it happened i tried using ktoonz kernel.
i just installed the newest one which is RLS12, which he just uploaded not too long ago. That one worked perfectly fine. I guess maybe something was wrong with the other one. But i have it on my phone now
just pull the battery then boot back up should be fine. sometimes it will hang like that, happened to me a couple times.

I have had nine take a long time to boot up, if it takes longer than 15 minutes I usually pull the battery an reboot, if that didn't work I pull the variety and reboot into recovery and go back to my backup which I always make before I flash a new rom

I rooted my phone last night and all day today had horrible battery life (4 hours little usage) along with some what looked to be screen reboots. I only rooted phone did not install a rom nor any aps other than titanium. Any ideas why why this is happening and what I should do? Not new to rooting had an incredible that I spent many hours playing with.

Which method did you use to root your phone? There are several different ways to do it.
Have you checked your battery stats to see what is using your battery? Have you tried restarting your phone?
If restarting your phone doesn't solve your issues, you could install a custom recovery and then wipe your data, cache and dalvik-cache, and then install a new ROM which should solve any of your problems (much like your probably did on your Incredible). If you don't want to use a custom ROM, there are strock, rooted images available both for flashing through ODIN as well as flashing through Recovery.
I used the casual file method. Checked battery stats and nothing out of the ordinary. Also rebooted phone several times. I have a mac so I can't use Odin to go back to stock and try again. I also don't want to install a custom rom yet because I'm waiting for some bugs to be fixed on the synergy rom before I make that jump. My main reason for getting root was to freeze some apps in the meantime (haven't frozen any yet) and to enable the gps toggle switch on car dock via nfc which is working great.

Since I can't use Odin how would I go back to stock? Install the nandroid backup i made then unroot using casual? But before trying that do you think wiping dalvik might work? Strange that this is happening.

So you do have a custom recovery installed already? You don't need Odin as long as you have a custom recovery.
You can try clearing both your cache and dalvik-cache in recovery, and then reboot to see if it solves your problems.
If it doesn't, then backup and sync your data (wiping your data won't wipe your "internal sd card", but you will lose all of your system settings). UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER (search for ez-unlock on the market). Then put this on your sd card (or internal memory): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941334
Boot to recovery. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Install that stock, rooted ROM. Reboot and reset up your phone settings.
i used the recovery that was suggested with the casual process. I think i might have fixed my issue i downloaded Rom Manager and reinstalled recovery and powered off my phone then removed battery and now the phone is smooth again but im still noticing that my battery is draining rather quick. This is very strange. Im thinking of unrooting and trying it all over again. I just need to find the original Verizon image.
I am a little confused by Synergy 155. (Verizon Galaxy S3). I had 147 running, and the instructions said to "dirty flash" the ROM over 147, which I took to mean that I would not wipe dalvik, cache and factory reset. The ROM never seemed to initialize (go to the setup menu). Did I misread the instructions or do something wrong?
When you dirty flash a rom, it's just adding the new updates over top of what you have already. So you did everything right, you don't do another activation when dirty flashing. Just verify that your About Phone reads Synergy 155.

Ech said not to wipe data on 147 ie no factory data reset.

Thanks, I was hoping I had that right. It still doesn't go past the boot animation on reboot with 155 installed over 147. I had to pull the battery and boot back to recovery and restore my previous install.

If you put a custom theme on it then you will get stuck in a boot loop. If you made a backup of the original 147 with no theme or anything done to it just restore that then reflash 155. If not install a clean 147 reboot once then flash 155.

Has anyone else experienced this?.....
I flashed r147 and everytime I try to navigate around the new ROM, it just shuts off. So i rebooted hoping that would fix the issue, but no luck. So then I dirty flashed r155 and it does the same thing.
