so my sgs4g was rooted and got on gb with the gb starter pack thread, after which i jumped around between a few roms and am currently running octaneGB.
however, it has always had stability problems, and i can't figure out why. possibly because i messed up bootloaders? i'm pretty sure it can't be the fault of the roms i flashed.
from here, all I want is a stable phone.
can i wipe the phone as it is and then use the oneclick heimdall SMS kj6? would this put me on rooted GB with CWM and good bootloaders? could i simply cwm flash a rom like valhalla after that?
any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Yes, you can use the one-click to put KJ6 on there then flash a different ROM via CWM.
Personally I've had the best experience with Valhalla ROMs. Last night I just flashed RAVERX3X latest Valhalla Black build. Its low profile so it's quick and responsive, and even better, not a single instability issue.

thanks for the advice guys!
I did the first flash step, which worked successfully and rebooted my phone. then i tried to flash the bootloaders that came with it, but uploading PIT 1/10 failed, and it froze trying to end session. i pulled the battery and the phone seemed bricked, but i connected the cable and oneclick said it was connected (no download mode screen, no lights at all). so i did the initial one-click flash and let it reboot again, then flashed valhalla black.
nothing SEEMS to be wrong, but i'm a little scared. can anyone weigh in on what happened?
You're ok. I can't explain what happened but people have reported similar issues, nothing on the screen but it can be seen in ODIN, and were able to recover (as you did) just fine.

This section of XDA is small, but good in terms of quality.
I just flashed Raver's Cyanogenmod/Valhalla hybrid and it is smooth and stable.
One-Click...
At the beginning of the week, I still had Froyo on my device.
I used Bryan's one-click (SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar)...
(I had a scare, too... which involved the so-called "Rainbow screen" -- but FB suggested I run the one-click, again and also to do the Bootloaders -- and everything turned out ok).
But, I needed to get CWM 5 (and, that particular one-click had CWM 3.0.2.8x)
So, I flashed an update of Bryan's kernel (sms-T959V-KJ6-v0.1.1-rc1-unsigned-update.zip)
And, because I was feeling overjoyed at all the goodness that I'd seen so far, I flashed RaverX3X's rc3.zip (from Team Acid's Source Forge site)...
And, life is really, really, really... good.
yep
+1 Valhalla black edition! Installed today and love love love.
ok... my phone is now crashing and rebooting all over the place after flashing valhalla black. it seemed fine for the first hour. should i try the one-click again? or did i not wait 10 minutes after flashing the rom, maybe?
anyone know what could be the problem?
thanks in advance!

Not sure about the crashing but I experienced reboots because of the kernel Valhalla Black uses. There are fixes out there for that part of the problem but what you should really is perform a factory data reset, do the one to get a ROM with CWM on it, then use CWM to install Valhalla Black per the instructions on the page for it. I've a feeling you'll be much more stable after that.
As for the 10 minutes, that's basically to allow your phone to rebuild the Davlik cache (cache with optimizations for your apps). Definitely let it sit while it does that just to be safe.
thanks yet again. will try this asap!
can i assume that my bootloaders are correct after the weird issues from the last page? you mentioned that it happened to several people, but it still bothers me that technically it never got past 1/10 uploading PIT file :x
also, regarding the problems with the kernel, can anyone point me to a kernel that works with valhalla final and is known to be fully stable? i want to try to do everything to get the phone usable.

If it was fully booting and you weren't getting the "rainbow" screen, then your boot loaders are fine. If in doubt, go check out bhundven's one-clicks, and run one of them - twice. The first time it doesn't let you check the boot loader box but the 2nd time it does.
Valhalla Final comes with bundven's beta 2c kernel. I believe people are running that without issue. Keep in mind Valhalla Final and Valhalla Black are two different ROMs with two different kernels.
I did a one-click back to stock (factory reset, cache wipes, etc.) & am running bhundven's latest beta kernel with no problems (thus far).
Hi,
I need some help. I am an XDA lurker and have learned a ton. I am mostly aware of the usual fixes for these things, but I can not return to any other ROM than a CM10. CM10 data and camera are not working great, even though I LOVE this ROM and LOVE these developers, I can't use it yet.
Firtst, my backups are gone, I know, I know. But they are gone. I tried flashing NoSympothy and invisibleK,s stock ROMs but I get frozen at the Galaxy SIII screen everytime.I have tried all the usual system wiping drills, cache, data, etc... Formatted everything. I have downloaded from multiple sources. It seems like it doesn't like ICS now?
I am rooted and UNLOCKED! Woohoo, thanks Adam!!!!!
Any suggestions?
Recoverys to CM10 work. New flashes to CM10 work. But no stock image or stock rom?

You have to flash the stock kernel as well as the ROM. Try flashing the Synergy latest nightly build it includes a custom kernel as long as your bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks,
I had a feeling it was something with the kernel. I wasn't sure what was included though. I think I tried to get synergy from here on my phone and it just kept opening new windows instead of downloading. I will grab the just the kernel from somewhere and let you know. I'll update in an hour or so. Thanks for the next few steps to try. Much appreciated!
That was it THANKS!!!

Stock ROMs include the stock kernel. They will work as a one flash wonder. Your issue more sounds recovery based. Which recovery from which app were you using? It more sounds lime maybe you're still on a kexec recovery which is why you couldn't flash stock but synergy latest worked (or something of the sort, maybe other way around)

Hi, I can't seem to find my way around this issue. Every time I try to open any camera app, it doesn't allow me and says it's unable to connect. Is there no sure solution to this yet? I tried flashing new cameras through recovery. Nothing works at all. I have tried flashing fixes from several threads on a clean start, different camera apps, clearing caches, clean wiping, and other things I can't even remember at this point with all the frustration. What's up with this?
TW based ROMs work. AOSP seems to not. I lost the thread explaining how to dial the codes into a TW based ROM, but another problem with this for me is, I am extremely confused as to how to do some of the steps explained in that thread (hence why I closed it, looks like that should be the way out for me though?).

It's an AOSP problem based on the firmware of your camera when getting the phone from what I've seen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37072484#post37072484
Here's the thread I was talking about, however I'm confused about how to go about zipping and unzipping these files. Or even how to get to them to place the files in to begin with considering internal SD card is the only thing that comes up for USB storage. Unless you're supposed to move them in and out from within android.
Would really like a confirm on whether or not this works for the Verizon version, and whether or not it's a different process/if this even works at all, rather not break it fully
Why is this not more of a widespread issue? it seems so crucial that many are having but nobody seems to be talking about it or wanting to find a definite fix for it?

I had the camera problem on MIUI...
Before flashing, I made a backup of my system with CW
I extracted the SlimISP_ZH.bin from my backup and
copied it to my /data directory and it worked fine.
Link: d-h.st/dwx
(I can't post links yet)
maybe... someone post the fix in this forum and make it sticky... lol
Ughhhhhhhhh. This is getting irritating. Going to revive the thread.
I flashed the new firmware (MD3) for this phone. I had everything good and working with CM10... Guess what, borken camera, same issues...
I can't post links yet, but it's in the android development thread with this title:
★ [Rom][I535VRBMD3][4.1.2] Stock Root Odex/Deodex [05/29/13]★
Except... this time I cannot do the simple copy/paste of the bin files this time, why is that?
At this point I just want my VRBLK3 (I think?) firmware back.. Where can I get it to reverse what I just downloaded, in essence?
Also.. What the heck kind of hurdles am I going to have to go through when CM10.1 is complete?.. I don't think I'll be updating my phone past 10.1 at this rate if this continues, really irritating.

Yes, that is the post. I also tried MB1 out of curiosity, no dice on either of them. I had a perfectly working CM10. I dun goofed :\.
That was my next step (rerooting, installing that firmware AIO, and then installing CM10). However my question is this, what happens when more firmware comes out? I have to re root and start over again?
If you flashed md3 just flash back mb1 and you will fix that problem. I had the issue. Pulled the firmware from invisiblek for mb1 and back to normal on liquid smooth

Yeah I think a clean slate is definitely needed from time to time. I swap roms frequently but liquid gives me the best battery life right now from my tests so I keep going back.

good point. saw where someone flashed an i9300 s3 rom on the verizon s3 and brick city. my problem with aokp, cm, liquid, carbon, baked bean, I've tried them all, is constant freezing forcing me to pull the battery. I love the features of those roms but I hate having to pull the battery all the time
Hmm, over the past couple days I've tried out a few different ROMs on my girlfriend's S3 here, and on each one I would get this "Could not connect to the camera" error, every single time upon opening the camera app. One of the Paranoid Android ROMs, Liquid Smooth, and Synergy (even the Touchwiz camera was broken on that!).
I can restore to the original backup I made of the stock ROM, and the camera works fine again. But as soon as I try a different ROM, no camera.
I'd love to get an AOSP ROM running on this phone, but having a working camera is a requirement, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Searching the individual threads for the ROMs yields little help, and I'm getting exactly the same error on different ROMS, so I feel like I'm doing something wrong on a higher level. Any chance that switching from TWRP to CWM would make a difference? I don't see why it would, but I suppose it's something I could try.

Have you tried odin back to MB1 or even LK3 and letting it go through the OTA's? Those OTA's also update rpm, and other partitions, that as far as I know don't get updated when we flash these stock files on xda unless we flash them ourselves. Maybe something screwed up and is being persistent since those partitions aren't getting updated along the way?

Probably best, that would be my first thing to try if I had that problem, restarting from scratch. If all else fails, restarting from scratch will wipe out everything. If that failed, I would probably suspect hardware issue.

I have tried messing with APNs but cannot get Hangouts to send a single MMS.

You will need to root with CFAR which is linked to in the second post of the official 5.0 thread. Then ODIN flash a custom recovery. I used philz. You will be able to flash those files only through a custom recovery from my experience. Your results may vary. Good luck.

Why is it with the stock ROM(rooted/hotspot via galaxy tools), Wifi calling has such a terrible lag? When running MOAR 2.2, Wifi calling was perfect no lag.
Any ideas or tweaks that don't involve flashing MOAR or another custom ROM since I am content with stock?

I cant say but we'll have to see how this release plays out since its only been available for several days.
I haven't heard any comments about that issue yet but like I said, its still very new. You could always try flashing the stock deodexed build I posted in Sprint android development to see if it makes any difference too. Its already pre-rooted with hotspot enabled too btw.

When i load the new software Odin 3.09 loads all the files and when its done the stock recovery does dot boot it stays at the samsung splash screen and freezes when it says " opening recovery" and never loads or continues.
The second thing that is strange is is it will not allow me to revert back to the stock NE5 firmware either. I am basically stuck on the NKD firmware. Some instruction would help, thank you.

Ive wiped and re wiped.... I have even tried to go back to ne5 and ni3 and I am completely stuck on NKD...... It wont let me flash flowers or backward from the leaked version but when I odin the tar for nkd it reboots just Fine.... Do I need to you a different version of odin?.... Im using 3.09 I see everyone else leaving just Fine.... I just dont get it ive been flash in with odin since my s2 im not a rookie.... How do I get off this base and.... It should by all means bout recovery after the full restore and it just sitting there after I flash anything else but the NKD
I've done everything correctly, followed every tutorial, and I'm still not having any luck. I started on stock rooted Lollipop, and all I was getting as installation aborted errors with using Lollipop Autorec. I've since flashed back to stock rooted Kitkat, which I've got the closest with. I've been trying to flash one of the newer nightly updates from Cyanogenmod (20150709 specifically). I've also tried using the first stable release, to no avail. I used one click root to root, which worked fine, and Autorec Kitkat installer for TWRP, which also installs fine, and I can get into recovery no problem. I wipe, I flash, and it boots up, but then it never loads. It ends up being stuck on a boot loop, and it's very frustrating because of how close I'm getting. A Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot flashed correctly, but I'd like to figure out the newer update problem. I'm on LG D800. I'm a complete noob at this stuff, and need a sensei to guide me, please. Thanks in advance.
(Update): I've just now tried installing the newest Resurrection Remix for LG G2, and that sticks me in a boot loop as well, so I have no idea what I have to do. Will update again in a moment because I'm going to try downloading stock Lollipop and the newest TWRP.
(Update 2): So, I've just done what I said I'd do earlier. I flashed the LP bootstack, then Resurrection Remix, then Gapps, and I'm getting a bootloop for that, as well, so I'm calling it a night, and going to bed. Someone please respond. I really need help.
Did you update TWRP? You need to be on the latest version, 2.8.7.1 to flash the newest roms. http://blastagator.ddns.net/twrp.html Put this on your phone and go into recovery and flash it. No wipes needed. Don't reboot when it's done, back arrow to the first screen and select reboot and then select recovery. After that reboots you'll be on the latest TWRP and can flash the LP roms and necessary files or just reboot system and you'll boot up the rom you currently have installed.
Yeah, I ended up trying that, and flashing Resurrection Remix, and I was still getting a boot loop on that, as well.

I just read what you said again, and no, I didn't actually try that version. I'm on TWRP normal version 2.8.6.1. I will probably try what you said, soon, and report back when I do.
(EDIT): Also, am I supposed to flash a baseband and/or a different bootloader? I'm really new to this stuff, and I don't 100% know everything to do, and some tutorials aren't 100% clear, because I guess they're assuming the viewer knows what they're doing.

Yeah, from what I'm reading in all the latest LP threads you have to be on the latest TWRP. I am and I've had zero issues flashing the different roms. Follow the OP of each one exactly and you'll be fine.

Alright, man, thanks a lot! I'll report back when I test this out. Also, am I supposed to flash a baseband and/or a different bootloader?

No baseband, just the bootloader the OP specifies. You just need to read, read and read some more. It may be confusing at first but you'll figure it out. A good thing to have on your computer is here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369 . It makes it very easy to go back to KK and start over if you need to. I've used this a number of times and have gone back from LP without a problem. Once again, read the OP until you understand what you need to do.

What if the OP doesn't specifie? Because I didn't even know I needed to flash that, till this point, haha. Yeah, I've used that, and have that. This past weekend I soft bricked my phone, probably around 10 times, and I used that each time, haha.

I don't know of any of the caff LP versions that don't state that you need to flash the correct bootstack. If in doubt, don't flash it. If you were trying to install cyanogenmod 12 it doesn't require a bootstack flash but 12.1 does. You have to be sure of what you're trying to install. You might try running this http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/rom-stock-lollipop-30b-stripped-t3144195 . Same dev that builds TWRP that I sent you to put this together. It's an all in one flash! And since it's in the at&t section it's not bloated with issues from users of different G2 variants. Just a thought.

Alright. I got around to trying what you suggested. Still a boot loop on Resurrection Remix, and I don't know why. I flashed the bootstack for my phone, that the post said to, then the rom, then Gapps. So I have no idea what I have to do to get this to work.

I'm assuming that you're on stock rooted LP and you've only tried flashing the RR rom. I haven't flashed that one in a long time but I see on the last few pages of the thread that there are several people getting stuck in bootloops. Is it the rom or their installation? I don't know but I'd seriously try a different rom. The latest Cloudy G2 3.3 is an excellent rom and everything works. It's my go to backup rom. The least confusing way to install it is to follow this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61396344&postcount=465 although you'd be flashing the 3.3 version not the 3.1. On the aosp side, I've been using Vanir https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28988 with TK Gapps https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=31524 and this bootstack https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347760740 . Right now I'm running Slim Saber http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-slimlp-alpha-0-4-t3135141 . It's a very nice rom too. Other than that I don't know how else to help.

Alright, I'll try it out. You've been really helpful. I'll let you know how it goes. I had to reflash Kitkat, so I'm about to update to Lollipop again.

Good luck! One other thing I was going to say is that if you want a great camera/video and a stock like experience with a lot of features then go with the Cloudy G2 3.3. It's based on the LG firmware so it's a good place to start and get rid of all of the at&t bloatware.

One other thing that occurred to me, are you doing full wipes in TWRP? You have to select Wipe-Advanced Wipe-then check off Dalvik,System,Data,Cache (DO NOT check off Internal Storage) and then swipe the slider. I always do it 3 times, press the back button and Factory Reset 3 times. Probably overkill but it works for me. Then go back and do the install.

I've always only ever done the advanced wipe. I'll do the three times thing, this time.

I do it 3 times because on my old Galaxy Note I noticed a few times that when I flashed a new rom a few things that I hadn't installed were still there. So I got in the 3 wipe habit.

Well you're bound and determined to keep flashing the same rom over and over and it doesn't work. If it were me I'd move on to a different rom.
