I'm sorry to sound like a noob, but I've searched and searched, and haven't been able to find an explanation. When I go to my phone info section (About phone), my phone is listed as a Galaxy Nexus, despite the fact that my phone is a Galaxy S3 (d2vzw). I'm not sure when this changed and I don't remember exactly what it used to say, but I know this was not it. I can't figure out if it was the ROM or the kernel that changed it (though I have my doubts it was the kernel).
I am using the AOKP rom and the KT747 kernel.
The only reason I noticed this is because I've been using the goomanager app to let me know when there have been updates to my ROM and to my surprise one day, I was notified that there was an update (even though I wasn't expecting one). I downloaded it (without even paying attention to the file name) and tried flashing it a few times, but it kept failing no matter what I did. I started to wonder if the recovery was the issue, so I took that opportunity to move from clockworkmod to TWRP. That did not change the outcome. I then decided to check the file itself by googling its file name and I was shocked to learn that it was for the Galaxy Nexus... not for the GS3! I finally went into About phone and noticed my phone was listed as a Galaxy Nexus.
As it stands now, I'm not sure if the reason it's listed wrong is because of me trying to flash the wrong ROM, or if it was like that beforehand. What I do know is that because it's listed wrong, goomanager keeps telling me there's an update to my ROM (and keeps pointing me to that original file I tried flashing).
I only recently flashed a different kernel than what came with the phone and I believe this was after the name was already wrong, so I doubt that's to blame. To be safe, I tried installing a different kernel (I think it was called "Lean" kernel), but that ended up preventing my phone from ever booting (seriously, I waited about an hour and even tried rebooting, but it never actually booted), so I ended up reflashing the KT747 kernel and it's working again.
Any idea as to why this is happening? Is there a way to fix this? Other than the fact that goomanager keeps looking for the wrong updates, is it bad for my phone?
Thanks in advance!
You can modify the build.prop to make your phone think its anything. So the ROM has a nexus written in the build.prop. are you using an unofficial build or the official one for our phone?
Also it really doesn't matter that it is listed as a nexus. Just disable goo manager updates. And then you will ha e to manually check for d2vzw updates. There is nothing to worry about. As far as lean kernel not booting. Be sure to use the right kernel (aosp or stock) and if your using the 4.2 version of AOKP you need the new 4.2 kernel, which I am personally unfamiliar with lean if it has a 4.2 kernel

I'm using the official Milestone build released on 2012-10-29. I know it wasn't changed in the builds prior to that because goomanager was always able to point me to the next, correct update. If they did change the build.prop for that release, what would have been the point?

Well, you're right except that it kind of does matter if goomanager is no longer able to find the right updates. I know I can disable the checks, but I don't want to have to remember to check manually.

I thought I had checked to make sure it was an aosp version and not touchwiz, but now I don't remember. The Milestone build of AOKP I'm on is 4.1.2.
I wanna say getting google wallet working you have to edit the device in the build.prop? Or is that on TW roms?

Oh wow, I think you just answered my question. Thank you. I do have Google Wallet on my phone, but I installed it using an app called Wallet Installer, so I didn't actually change it myself.

Ya then thats why it changed
Right after my last post, I opened the Wallet Installer app and saw that there's a button to restore build.prop, so I pressed it and my phone rebooted. Afterwards, it was back to normal. What's odd is that Google Wallet appears to still work properly (I think; all I've ever done is add a credit card). I guess it only needs to change it for it to install.

I'm using the default ROM for my One X and I'd like to update it (I haven't since I got it 6 month ago); do I need to re-lock the bootloader and unroot it before I can use the OTA update? Also it's been a while since I even fiddled with my phones software so I forgot anything else I may have done, is there a way I can check to see what else has been done and if it's safe to update it?
Currently I have:
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version: 4.0

HTC SDK API Level: 4.11

Your phone should be factory default before performing OTA updates or results may be unexpected.
Most OTA updates are patch file based and require the files to be exactly what is expected.
There have been known issues with root being detected and the OTA failing.
Rooted phones progressing with an update but root lost after the update.
System files being modified and the OTA failing.
Recovery must be factory; not TWRP or CWM.
CID and MID must suit OTA.
The only modification I would consider safe through all OTA's so far has been SuperCID.
If you have any interest in rooting and flashing custom ROMs, I would suggest rooting and unlocking the bootloader now, while you are on 1.73, and not updating via OTA. The latest 2.20 update will also update your hboot, which plugs the holes by which kernels and radios can be flashed from recovery.
Since you're with att you can expect the jelly bean update any time from now till the end of the world which isn't fun waiting for .. I'd suggest if you were rooted download goo manager flash twrp....than flash a solid ics Rom if your prefer ice sense or you can go venture into the jb realms

Agree. If you are already BL unlocked and rooted, why go through the hassle of relocking the BL and returning to stock, just to wait for the OTA?
Just flash a JB ROM, as there are already stock and custom JB ROMs posted in Development.
Plus, until the OTA actually hits, we don't know if it will even be rootable. They have plugged the existing root exploits with every successive AT&T OTA for this phone so far. No reason to think any different for the JB update.
Just flash a JB ROM and stay rooted.
Ya I really like viper xl v3 . Just apply fix listed on op and you should be good to go

Stock OTA is not WORTH IT IMO, been there
Reselling the phone is probably the only reason i'd revert to stock.
Ok, so I tried to flash Android Revolution HD 18.0 instead of going back to stock. I used TWRP, but it said "unable to read zip file" and the flash failed, now my phone won't start up it just shows the HTC screen with "this build is for development purposes..." and continuously turns on and off.

Is there a way to back up my apps/texts and stuff when flashing ROM's? I totally forgot about that and lost all of it, I didn't have anything particularly important, but it'd be a hassle to redownload everything everytime. I had Titanium Backup, but that's not a recovery for if you reflash right?

So I installed Cyanogen 10.0.0 but it didn't come with Google Play so I installed Gapps as well; now I keep getting the "Android Keyboard ASOP has stopped working" and I can't do anything. I've tried multiple versions of Gapps but they all give the error. I've also tried installing a keyboard apk on it's own but I am still unable to type anything.
Edit: Also when I downloaded Google Play as an apk separately it would crash immediately, but when I installed it from Gapps it was ok.

Hi everyone, really sorry if someone has asked this before, but I looked through the forums and couldn't find much pertaining to my problem.
I installed LiquidSmooth 4.2.1 for my I535 Galaxy S3 on Verizon, and it loaded, but I noticed my appstore was gone, preventing me from installing Titanium to get all my apps back.
I googled it and that told me to install Gaaps. So I reflashed the stock ROM, and then installed Gaaps. When I did, every Google related app crashed simultaneously, making the phone near unusable. I figured I'd just reflash the stock image again, and that seemed to fix the problem. Is there anything else I should do, in case something goes wrong?
I have a feeling I might have used the wrong Gaaps? Is there a certain place I'm supposed to look as mentioned here? In that same thread, it looks like the dev doesn't even want to answer where to get the gaaps.
Again, I'm sorry if the answer is obvious, but I am having a little trouble here.

yes.
Always make sure to flash a Gapps package when flashing a ROM, unless otherwise specified. Also, when flashing a Gapps package make sure that you flash a gapps package that is compatible with whichever variant phone you are using, in your case d2vzw as well as compatible with the ROM, i.e. if flashing a 4.2.2 ROM make sure you flash the compatible gapps package. Doing an extra 10 minutes of research can save you hours of headaches.

Just curious if there were any straight vanilla android w/gapps roms out there already rooted that are flashable?
Something non AOSP or CM
I was debating on going back to the straight google image but then thought I would ask. It seems all the ones I read are tweaked or basically ASOP versions.
I get why there might not be but wasnt sure if anyone just made a straight google image flashable with no tweak or modifacations?

Well if you are running a stock ROM right now, you could probably take the latest factory image and just flash the system.img. Or if you want, flash everything but the userdata.img. This will probably update your phone to the latest version without losing data. That's just an assumption though. I would assume that if the ROM you are using is based off of the factory images, it would be the same. You could do a nandroid before doing it.
Ill just wait. The one Im using now is AOSP but pretty much stock. Im fairly sure he had it on the latest image. For some reason I have just been itching to go back to pure stock (as close as possible anyway). No huge deal
I get what your saying about putting the other one on and trying that but honestly if something majorly bugs out and possibly ruins my recovery I wont have any time to try and repair it all.

I'm not sure what a bash terminal is unless it's the same thing as the terminal emulator. I tried using that rom that's called paulpizz or something like that. I used some other rom to. The paulpizz one always failed to install even after downloading it a third time. The other one i can't remember the name but it installed but wouldn't start at all. It would just go black and bootloop and goes into stock recovery for some reason. I came across the nf5 module when i found that paulpizz rom on the goo server they hosted it on. So i got the module and i figured if i were to flash the module over the i535 rom that it would fix the wifi an data problem but never got an answer because it always failed to start up properly and would just bootloop into stock recovery. Ugh Verizon is making things so difficult with modding lol. As of now I'm just using xposed to get at least some theming in and tweaks. I couldn't get any deodex program to work. Whenever i used the deodex files and pushed them to the system of apps and framework, it would restart and just stick on the Verizon logo. So i had to flash the firmware to fix the problem.
When i was on 4.3 with this phone safestrap worked and i got the wifi and data sim error. Now that i got it replaced I'm running the kernel of July 22 2014. Everyone was saying I'm out of luck but i came across kingroot and got the most recent version and it worked. I have root. Installed safestrap for 4.4 and it runs fine but can't get any custom roms to boot. I only managed to find one 4.4 touchwiz rom unfortunately

I'll let you know how it goes and thank you. How is it that you were able to boot CM? From my understanding being that the bootloader is locked and has Knox for extra security to make the unlocking like impossible. But a genius came up with safestrap so we are able to use some custom roms but the down side is that it has to be the same Android OS and has to be a touchwiz based rom. So how are you getting lucky with all this? I love CM and I'd pick CM over any custom rom any day but i gave up an lost hope of ever getting CM because of the locked bootloader

I'm running the stock prepaid rom, not superlightrom, sorry if there's any confusion there.
When I tried out superlightrom (quite some time ago) it appeared to work fine (excluding wifi/data and nagging about no SIM card being inserted, nothing like what you're describing) and I went back to stock.
Oh ok. Well it seems that the prepaid version or the s3 in general is dead. That's unfortunate
This is a modified version of @jrkruse stock BOK3 deodexed ROM with all(or most) of the stock BS removed.
This BS_free ROM does not have two different versions like his previous build. I left only the Samsung apps needed for UPSM and HD calling to work.
INSTRUCTIONS:
I've included the links needed if you want to use xposed and Viper4Android. If you chose not to use these features, then skip them in the flashing process.
I personally prefer using safestrap when clean flashing a ROM, but you can use flashfire if you must.
1) WIPE EVERYTHING!
2) Flash No_BS ROM
3) Flash Extra toggles
4) Flash No_Bootloader_Rooting_Tools_For_S5_Lollipop_V3.zip
5) Flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip
6) Flash Viper Policy
7) Flash Viper4Android
8) Flash BOK3 Firmware without bootloader
9) After first boot, open up Viper4Android and install the driver. Note: Sometimes it takes 2-3 times before the driver will install.
I have confirmed that @jrkruse 5-way reboot with Safestrap works on this ROM!!! If you want to use it, add it to the end of the flashing list. 5Way_Safestrap_Reboot_PM. As a side note, if you use 4-way reboot in Wanam Xposed, then that feature needs to be disabled for 5-way reboot to work.
The ROM should boot in about 8 minutes. The music app will force close everytime the device reboots, but it does work normally.
Forgive my lack of knowing how to make a build thread, since this is my first one, so I'm still learning lol.
NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED.zip
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V2 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I encountered an intermittent bug with SuperSU beta with some apps. I downgraded to the latest stable SuperSU with the latest app. I updated all other apps and got rid of the bright/ugly Verizon boot animation. The music app has not force closed since I started using this version.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V3.zip is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated busybox and removed SBrowser. I also implemented the signature verification fix by @jrkruse, along with default animation scales set to 0.5x.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V4 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated all apps, except for YouTube(xposed purposes). I added the missing VPN apk as well. Let me know if there is any other issues with VPN related settings.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V5 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated all apps. I added the headphone app notification, voicenote, and SPrintSpooler. I don't use voicenote or SPrint, so let me know if there are any issues with these apps.
Note: Don't pay attention to the 1- prefix in front of some of the ROM versions. I prefix all my flashables in my ROM folder with a 1-, 2-, 3-, ect, so that I have them all in order when I flash them instead of having to remember the order every time lol. I forgot to remove those prefixes when I uploaded the ROMs.
I am looking forward in seeing how this Rom is doing.

First and last will do just fine.
Works like a charm! Just wish someone could get Quick Glance working. I've seen it work in MOAR, but the 3minit mod that's included is a complete turnoff for me.

Do you mind elaborating on what Quick Glance is? Are you referring to where you wave your hand and it wakes up the display to show notifications?

That's the one.
I've used this in the past and I wasn't a big fan, but I didn't spend a lot of time trying to get it properly configured. I only tried it to see what it did. I personally don't like motion features.

do i need to do a clean install or just flash over @jrkruse work that i am currently using?
[VZW_Stock Based TW Rom][5.0 Lollipop BOK3 Build Deodexed] by @jrkruse ?
I dirty flashed this over his stock BOK3 and it worked, so you should be good.

I actually tried that already. It's honestly not great. Oh well. Maybe if I could figure out a way to strip 3minit...
I fell in love with motion features when someone stole my moto g and I had to pick up a Lumia 640. Great phone, but not an android
I'm on BS_FREE_BOG5_GOOGLE_V2_Deodexed and just updated with @jkruse New Root Tools For S5 Lollipop V6. Already enabled Lollipop Safestrap Recovery again and Flashed Most Current OG5 Firmware_No_Bootloader and current OG5_Kernel. Can I just use that and wipe everything flash this aside from 3Minit Battery without losing Root?

Just to be clear, are you asking if you can run this on BOG5 firmware?

No, I mean using the V6 Root Tools instead of the V3 as indicated in your directions...
Also, I'm hoping that with a new install I will regain ability to work with Accessibility Options in Settings.
Idk if it makes a difference but I have Original GS5 Rooted, never taken OTA, always ONLY used XDA sources for ROM/Firmware/Kernels.

My rooting tools has the newest firmware, I just forgot to change the version number at the end, but it does say no bootloader.
I wish you luck on the accessibility apps. I never use them, so I don't specifically look for them to work.

Ok but all the same, I'm trying to avoid another 300mb DL if I can. As long as it is the same stuff then that's all I need to know.

I Flashed it last night with @jkruse's No Bootloader V6 Tools and it worked just fine. I also, noticed that my Accessibility Settings works now and a couple other things were fixed as well. I did have a hard time Restoring Poweramp Music Player - I had to reinstall from Play Store but otherwise seems to be working great!
