I don't know if this helps but... when I was on a custom rom And encrypted my device and tried to flash another rom or update mine. It basically bricked my phone. It would give me error messages about my encrypted device. I was forced to return back to stock via Odin and re-root my phone

Unlock, and root s3 on 4.1.1

Hey guys, is there a guide to unlock and root an s3 on the 4.1.1 official update? My friend has tried the guides and it says odin fails when he uses it.
This is the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439. Your friend may need to be sure that he has the samung drivers installed and the latest version of odin. You could try a different USB port or different PC. It works best using the supplied OEM micro-USB cable.
Ok, thank you!

Make sure he waits for Odin to complete as well. When I was following the guide, Odin would reboot the phone and I thought it was done. I had to redo it a couple times because I didn't wait for it to get to the "Succeeded" stage.

Is it possible to slot load Roms?

On my old droidx We could multi boot different roms by running them in slots on the sd card.
anyone now if this is possible on the s3?
I too am curious. We could do this with SAFESTRAP or BOOTSTRAP on the Bionic. Made trying out Roms super easy.
Well I used to use boot manager and they claim it cannot be done due to the way Samsung handles the boot process.

Dear friends

You've posted in the wrong section. Questions and troubleshooting threads go in the q&a section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread to the right place for you. I'm future please post all questions in the q&a section.
Now onto your question. You need to provide more information. Is your phone stock or is it modified? If it's modified which ROM/kernel are you on? What are your bootloader details?

As timmaaa mentioned, you haven't given nearly enough info for us to help.
If the phone is stock, and you upgraded via OTA, then I suggest backing up your personal data and doing a factory reset. Existing apps and setting play havoc with OTAs. Factory reset will give you a clean slate to work from and solves many random bugs resulting from the update.

[Completed] [Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, Restoring to factory settings or GB stock firmware

Hi there,
I currently have AOSP Neat Rom Android version 4.4.4 on the i9100 device. I am considering the option to restore my nandroid backup of Android version 2.3.3 made in ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2. However, I cannot find the firmware that matches the CSC I9100OZSKF4 here:
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/rom-guide-official-i9100-firmwares-lpe-t1075278]
I also tried looking on samfirmware.com/samsung-updates.com/androidfirmwares.net/sammobile.com but I cannot find a match. Some links are invalid now on the xda thread including the one for ZSKF4.
This is what *#1234# showed before I flashed the custom rom:
PDA: I9100ZSKF4
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100OZSKF4
I want to go back to exactly this firmware with my nandroid backup of all apps/data/logs. All back ups are saved on computer and can be transferred into the phone via selecting MTP.
I thought of these options but I am not sure which is best or correct in my situation:
(1) If there is a restore to factory settings option in the recovery or settings, do I use it? Then re-root the device in android 2.3.3 and restore backup using clockworkmod included with the root files?
(2) Or if restoring to the original stock rom (factory settings) is not an option, do I find the closest GB firmware to what I want and flash it using Odin?
I also looked here for help but only JB/ICS is mentioned:
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701]
(3) I have Team Win Recovery Project v2.7.1.0 currently for AOSP Neat Rom. Because my backup file is made in ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2, I have to flash CWM before I can restore. I am not sure if I can even use the newest CWM to restore an old CWM backup. I am not sure if this is the best way and am very troubled.
I posted some questions already in this thread "[Q&A][SGS2][Newbies][Experienced Users][RCs] New members friendly Q&A thread". I was thinking this might be a more general question about restoring to stock rom and thought I can also ask here as well to get some insights on where to research next or at least get a confirmation that my thought process is on the right track.
Thank you so much for your time. I have been quite frantic due to the issues I encountered, so please forgive my constant posts.
