I bought a rooted gs3 on EBAY...
It is running liquidsmooth rom.. I have tried flashing some other VZW roms (esp. want to try out kit-kat roms) and I get an error during the flashing process..
See attached image...
Did I get taken on Ebay??? Not sure what I am doing wrong...
Thanks in advance for any help

I just reloaded and the image is showing now, but here is what concerns me about the error msg:
"This package is for "d2vzw" devices: This is a "d2spr".
I was sold a verizon SCH-I535..
The sticker under the battery says it's a SCH-I535
so i am a little confused by the error msg during the flashing process
You're on Sprint?

That's a Sprint S3 and you're trying to flash a Verizon ROM to it. That's the problem lol.

You are mistaken. Your recovery stated "This package is for 'd2vzw' devices; this is a 'd2spr'". Your phone is Sprint, my friend...

Go to Settings, About Phone, and look at the model number.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Either it's your build.prop OR its the recovery cuz that's an outdated CWM. You'll need to update it to at least CWM 6.0.4.x to flash any KitKat rom. Just triple check that you see SCH-I535 d2vzw in the build.prop (which is in /System) before going further. I find it hard to believe the seller perfectly replaced the sticker behind the battery.

That is weird. It could be the build.prop or out dated cwm. What version of CWM are you running?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
The cwm recovery is too outdated needs to be the latest to flash 4.4 ... But yes odd statement by the recovery failure

Could be mistaken, but that looks like a knockoff s3 to me.
edit: Sticker looks wrong (no samsung logo), just doesn't look right and it's not making sense why it's acting like that. If you bought the phone for cheap on Ebay then it makes sense for it to be a fake. Fake one looks very similar to the real thing.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I would say Update your recovery to a newer version of CWM, TWRP, or Philz.

I have 2 s3's that I purchased from Verizon directly. I would have never compared stickers but for your question. For your reference, here's what the stickers look like.

Did you put the black part on your sticker? I crossed out the imei and bar code on mine, but yours definitely looks different. That information should be visible to you on yours (don't share it here if it is). If you didn't put that on there I'd almost guarantee something fishy about that seller our the phones origin.

Usually the knock offs don't have Samsung at the top though. Definitely something fishy.

I don't know what your plans are for this phone now, but I was just thinking, they are building roms for d2lte (I tried cm11 and vanir, both kitkat). The d2lte builds are the same for all carriers, meaning you don't have to select a Rom file specific for your carrier. Maybe try flashing one of those? imho, vanir is pretty sweet.

I updated my recovery and now all is good.... Well I think so anyway..
I have been able to flash OmniRom and Cyanogen without anymore problems..
Wondering if I got a refurb or a grey market I535?
I haven't put my sim card in yet to activate phone...
Thats good to hear.. Maybe a knockoff fone. But as long it works and u can make calls txt etc then thats good

From there you can install either Rom manager or goo manager to flash recovery. Goo manager gives you TWRP and Rom Manager CWM. I prefer TWRP.
Also some folks complain of looking their emei but that can be restored so far I had no issue.

I cant find anything for this phone. I ordered online, because I need a new phone. My HTC Inspire is acting crazy, and I moved to an area where AT&T has crap service, so I am switching to Verizon. Is there anyone working on root, or anything for this phone yet?
I Googled it, looked around some and I saw a few posts about xda. They said that xda devs would probably work on a JB port soon but that doesn't mean anything. It looks like a nice phone though and if you ask me, it will probably have a few devs for it at least.

For the price, free with contract, it has a good set of features. The only thing I think I wont really care for is the camera, but you get what you pay for. I was just hoping there would be a root guide for it, and maybe a rom or 2 before I got it in. When I got my Inspire I had it rooted, and a new rom flashed within an hour of getting it.
Well rooting should be easy. Get CWMR on the phone and flash Superuser.zip as for ROMs, I could make a few changes to stock for you.
sent from my captivate glide running ICS (NardROM 0.4 Rooted)
I get the phone in tomorrow. I may have to ask for some help. I have been a little spoiled with my rooting in the past. With both my Captivate, and Inspire basically I just had to hook them up to the computer hit couple buttons, and CWM, and SU were both flashed for me. I haven't have to flash CWM myself before.
CWM is easy, just flash through Odin. Then flash Superuser through CWM. PM me and I'll help in detail.

Just an update. I got root by following this right here: http://androidforums.com/galaxy-stellar-4g-lte-all-things-root/619913-how-root-samsung-stellar.html
I am looking forward to devs backing this device, and giving me some awesome ROM experiences. I really needed root, as soon as I booted it, and saw all the bloatware, I was like, nope this has gotta go! I only achieved root, didn't attempt the recoveries from the SGS3 thread, but this will do for now I guess, lol.

I have had my Stellar for about 7 months now. It has been a reliable device, with the exception of the camera. Well lighted, and outdoor shots look nice. Indoor shots is another story,only due to a lack of a flash on the camera.I am awaiting the S4, then I am going to attempt to root the Stellar, for now I am scared to brick the phone.:laugh:
I rooted my Galaxy Stellar, it was very easy and I didn't brick it. The whole process to root only takes about 15 minutes then your goods to go. If your still interested in rooting your Galaxy Stellar then message me back and I'll give you a link to the site that helped me root my phone.

Hey guys this is my first ported ROM that I posted in this forum. A couple days ago this ROM was posted in the sprint forum and now the dev said its open to whoever so we get sense 5 working on the Galaxy S3. All the credit goes to him! I just ported it so us d2vzw guys can have a playground with it. Hopefully we can get data working!
What works?
-It boots (takes a lil bit on the first boot).
-It shuts down and restarts, and also restarts into recovery OK.
-The Interface (browser&keyboard) work too. On the keyboard input make sure you turn off physical keyboard!
- I also think WiFi is working too!
Remember this is NOT my ROM! I just ported it so hopefully some of our great devs can work their magic!
****Also flash this after your done flashing the ROM! This is the boot image that was forgotten to be added in the build so it will boot!

But flashing another kernel wouldn't let it boot either way, because I modified the CM boot.img for Sense.

Hello Verizon, I'm porting my popular rom from AT&T over to Verizon, I had some issues with my first build and have put together another build that's in need of testing, I basically need to know if the ROM flashes and phone/mms work. this is all, every feature is 100% working on AT&T and I've carefully followed the porting guide by hero. I just need to know if it's ready for public release.
