Im using CMW Recovery 6.0.1.0, when I install a rom and reboot I get this message, "Rom may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" I said yes... Does saying yes or no make a difference?
OCD madness.
I was assuming that I don't want the stock kernel with my cm10 so I said no.

I would like to know also. I still have the stock rom, just rooted and was going to get ready for a new rom when I saw this.

This is an outdated thread from before the bootloader was unlocked. Basically, disregard what they are implying because the way flashing roms used to work is "different" than how it is now. Our bootloader was unlocked on August 15th, since that date, when you flash a rom the kernel is flashed as well. It's my understanding that this was not the case when our bootloader was locked prior to August 15th, only a rom was flashed not a kernel. The kernel remained the same throughout all the roms, it was the touchwiz stock kernel. As I said already, this is no longer the case.
Ignore this thread and read DroidStyle's guide in the Development Section if you have any questions regarding the flashing roms process. Also, backup your IMEI.

the recovery is not the kernel
say yes
The question has no relevance when running a custom rom. It's there for reverting back to stock on a stock rom/returning original recovery.
Saying yes or no has zero impact unless your on stock rom.

So I just downloaded and installed the ota update to jelly bean and whenever I try to delete homepages touch wiz home force closes... I've restarted my phone and even tried clearing data on touch wiz home app.
Anyone else have this problem?
btw..I am not rooted
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Just tried it and it force closed.
It let me add a new home screen no problem. But when I went to delete, it crashed.
Exactly! now I have 7 home screens but am only using 2.
Mine works like it should. Deletes fine, adds fine.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
No problems adding or removing homescreens for me after the update.
I'm wondering what could be causing this as I haven't rooted or done anything really. I'm having to use Apex atm until I [we ] figure it out.
Please post questions in Q&A

This seems to be a bug if you have "Transition duration scale" (it may be one of the other animator settings, i dont remember) turned off. Go into Developer options/Drawing and turn it back on, reboot and see if that fixes it. Default settings are 1x.
that works, thanks so much!!
Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum. I bought the s3 from an individual about 2 months ago and he had already installed one of the leaked versions of Jelly Bean. Now that Verizon has finally released the official OTA upgrade, I was wanted to install it because there are a few things that this version has that mine doesn't. Would I have to restore my firmware back to stock to be able to receive the OTA (haven't got any notifications to update)? If so, whats the best way to do it? Use the odin process that I have read about?
Thanks

You would have to restore your phone back to the VRALHE build of ICS or earlier to get the OTA. It is probably simpler to use one of these guides to just go straight to the same build as the OTA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436. They both involve using Odin to flash the images. You can use the no-wipe versions to keep all your data intact or you can use the full-wipe versions instead. You can also check out section 5 in this guide to go back to stock and then OTA if you want to do a little more work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Sounds like you are just looking for more work. If go to HE and update to OTA will still have do the same amount of ODIN work to Root and unlock to end up in the same place. There is no advantage of OTA over K3 leak.

Thanks xda....because of everyone here....i was able to get even this far.
Why not just flash one of the many jellybean ROMs that are posted on XDA? You'll keep the unlocked boot loader and root.

thats 1 option i never thought of, i'll have to see if there is one where everything works and theres no problems with the install as long as i follow step by step...thanks
There are many that work. Just go to Verizon s3 android development and take your pick. You could stay stock or look at others with new features. Synergy and galaxymod both have multi window working. Beans 8 Is touch wiz based but has aosp features and looks. Clean rom is very stable and is basically stock with some performance enhancements.

As I was walking out of Verizon with my new GS3 last week it started to update. I found a good guide in the development section that let me root JB and unlock the bootloader. I was reading about it and while watching the video I just followed along. Painless and quick so I'm rooted and have my titanium back. I just moved over from a rooted original Droid.

Hey XDA, I am not entirely new to this but not close to knowledgeable. Anyways, my simple question is, do I need to have 4.1.2 installed in order to flash the newest ROMs. I have 4.1.1 rooted but am afraid to flash any of these ROMs as they all say they are designed for 4.1.2. I avoided posting a thread but it seems I cannot find the answer ANYWHERE.
Well.. thanks in advanced! :laugh:
The 4.1.2 ROMs are built from the update, so they'll already have whatever is in it. You don't have to flash it separately. However, you may want to flash the 4.1.2 modem and rpm (may not be in the rom), which can be found in post 2 of the CleanROM 6 thread in Android Development.

Sorry for my newbie self but are you suggesting I go ahead and flash whatever ROM I want ? I really just don't want to increase the risk of bricking my device. Again, my device is 4.1.1 and do not plan to update the firmware to 4.1.2. To be more specific, I am looking to flash SynergyROM VZW S3. All I need is the green light. Thanks again!

You will be fine flashing SynergyRom. You can downgrade, upgrade, stay in the same version. You won't brick you phone.

Sounds good! :good: I am finally going to go ahead and do what I've been hesitating to do for about a week now lol
There's always a chance for a brick. I have never bricked one of the three phones I have rooted. Just make sure you are flashing a rom made for the Verizon gs3, your bootloader is unlocked and you have backed up your imei. Those three things will greatly reduce your chances of a hard brick.

Make sure you wipe your phone before flashing rims and such. It is NOT okay to just flash without wiping, and always backup your apps first with titanium backup. Just thought I'd let you know since you wanted to flash away for your first time.

This is different than what I've seen, have you flashed the newest cm10 nightly and gave it a go? Everything sounds like it should be working. I know a lot of nightlies have been giving people camera issues.

Have you gone completely back to stock with Odin? I'm confused if you used a stock rooted rom or cleanRom.
If an odin back to stock doesn't work I'm out of ideas.

Ok, well if it worked then it's not like it's completely busted.
Try to odin completely back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
This will ensure everything is perfectly stock, flash the mb1 image and then ota to mf1 and reroot, then once everything is on the mf1 base, only flash TW roms based on the mf1 base or use AOSP roms.

If it is working then suddenly not in the same day I'm leaning toward hardware issue. Have you tried restoring to stock but not the newest update? Try a older firmware. I had a friend I helped root his s3 and there was a issue with the newest firmware giving this error when flashing custom roms since the roms were based off the older firmware. Hope this helps if not I'm sorry about your phone

Tacking onto what @ems3 posted, you could try this as well which involves Odin and flashing the pit file. Disregard everything after the first post as there was an unnecessary discussion that quickly followed.

I aslo have camera errors today after flashing the Synergy ROM (r484). I'm set on this ROM because it is the only one I've found that will
Support other cell carriers on a Verizon SCH-I535 and I need to switch carriers in a couple of days. Some one in a developer thread said that it should get the older firmware flashed to fix the camera or else I could choose to change the kernal. My firmware is I535VRBMF1 and what was sugested was MB1 firmware. I have several questions. What would I risk or loose by going to the older firmware? How do I get it and flash it (I have Odin but haven't used it yet). The Kernal came with Synergy ROM and is refered to as Ziggy's.

You don't stand to lose anything except possibly data connection and speed, and signal strength and quality. You can find the all in one (AIO) zips from Invisiblek's thread, just flash VRBMB1 aio in recovery. Invisiblek does not make any of these that are Odin flashable for JB and beyond.
