If I have a vzw galaxy s 3 with an unlocked bootloader is there any way to get to a 4.4 tw or tw based rom without screwing up the phone? I'm tired of issues with the camera and reboots I seem to be having on cm. On that note is there maybe a version of cm built off the 4.4 source that is bug free?<br/>
Not be an ahole. But u can simply get ur answers by reading a couple threads.
Some roms work well for some people and for some they get issues.
To avoid all just look for the most stock 4.4 that won't lock ur bootloader.

You also don't need to ask your same question in multiple threads, one is plenty.

I don't know if there's a 4.4 TW ROM, but I came across a 4.3 ROM without a locked boot loader, and NO Knox, no OTAs.
Its on scottsroms.com
(Might be wrong, let me know if it is)
Look under archived devices-> GS3
I can confirm it works and allows you to revert back to CM if you wish.
Just be extremely careful choosing something, because you don't want to lock your boot loader again, and taking any OTAs may do that.

Is there any benefit for Verizon s3 owners to run cm9 over cm10 until an official jellybean rom is released, or have the leaked roms provided enough for code for the Verizon version of cm10 to no longer be a port from another carrier's rom?
I'm having maps flickering issues that are on the official cm10 bugs list, but I need something that works in the meantime.
Thanks!

Bumping the thread a bit. Nobody has any input? Also, if I'm phrasing something incorrectly please let me know. Thanks!
As far as I'm aware, there was no CM9 release for the Verizon SIII.

As previously stated there was no official CM 9 release for the Verizon Galaxy S3 because at the time when CM 9 was still current our phone still had a locked bootloader, however there was an unofficial CM 9 using kexec to circumvent the locked bootloader at the time (But that is very outdated now and shouldn't be used). I recommend you try the latest CM 10 nightly that fixed a lot of bugs since the CM 10 Stable release. If you really need something absolutely 100% stable I would recommend running the stock ICS Touchwiz ROM with root.

Sounds great. Thanks for the info!
As the title says. I'm looking for a kernel that allows overclocking. I've been looking for a long time but I can't find any. SiyahKernel appears to only work with the i9300 and 4.1. Unless I'm wrong. Thanks.
Also, is CM 10.0 android 4.1? Because im cool with switching to that if it will work with Siyah.

Anything you intend to flash is in the Verizon Galaxy SIII Dev or Original Dev section. Do not flash anything labeled for any other GSIII model, you'll brick your phone. I'm certain each custom kernel allows for OCing, you can find most in the Verizon Original Dev section.
CM10 is 4.1. You need to flash CM10.1 which is 4.2.2 because 4.2.2 is under active development. Something to note, flash kernels released either AFTER the date of your rom/nightly OR within a week or two week span. Often enough, there are updates in the rom source that render kernels prior to the rom's release incompatible. You'll know it's incompatible cuz after flashing your screen will be completely black when booting into the rom.

Thanks for the reply.
So, even if the rom was intended for an i9300 it will work on my 535? Are there any kernels for 4.2.2 that allow OCing?
Will this work with my setup? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226894
Giving my wife the White Galaxy S3 Verizon for Xmas and wanted to get recommendation which stock based ROM to install?
1. Hyperdrive
2. Jelly "Beans"
3. Axis
4. stock Verizon 4.1.2
5. other 4.1.2 based
I'm primarily interested in rock solid stability, and some of the Touchwiz experience. She might be getting the Note 3 in the future so I want her to get used to using some of Samsung apps. I have a second S3 for me and I'm testing 4.4 roms, currently installed CyanFox. So please keep discussion relevant to 4.1.2 roms and experience. I know 4.3 is out for Verizon, but I'll wait for Devs to build it into ROMs.
thanks and see visist my blog

Lol! Can't go wrong with those.
Light and clean (more optimized, less theming):
Tkrom, bonestock, cleanrom, obsessed
More heavily modified (extra mods and themes,):
Hyperdrive, goodness, axis, jellybeans, moar, wicked sensations, the people's rom
I'm maybe leaving a few out, but look them over and see what you want. If you want something simple and easy you can't go wrong with the top 4.
Some phones handle roms better than others, so if one isn't working out well then don't be afraid to try another.
I also want to point out that you have to make sure your wife's phone isn't on the 4.3 base (vrucml1). If it is, do not flash any custom roms, that bootloader is completely locked down.

I've tried every single 4.1.2 TW rom out there, and my phone seems to run the best (least "Touchwiz" lag) on Hyperdrive with faux kernel. Completely stable, too. I also like the multitude of changes you can apply. However, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all are great!
Like the above comment mentioned, make sure the OTA wasn't taken, although you probably know this.
They are all great, try them all.
As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to make this determination based on their own, individual use.

My G2 broke last week and I am using this Galaxy S3 until my G2 gets repaired.
It is currently running a VERY old version of CyanogenMod - CM10.1 20130713 EXPERIMENTAL version and ClockworkMod Recovery V6.0.3.1 which I know is quite old version.
I was wondering what steps I need to take to get this phone running a 4.4.x ROM? What should I flash first? Also any recommendations on 4.4.x ROMs - AOSP vs. TouchWiz?
Thanks in advance.

My recommendation would be to update ClockworkMod Recovery first. I think they're on to version 6.0.4.5 now, not sure though since I'm using TWRP instead.
In regards to choosing a ROM I think that depends on what you're into. Since you're already running CyanogenMod and you want 4.4 then you should probably take a look at CM11. I had mobile network/signal problems using the "Official" build so I'm using a Mastamoon unofficial build, it works great. Search for: cm-11-20140709-unofficial-mastamoon-d2lte.zip

Do I need to flash anything before going to a CM11 ROM from CM10?
I see in a lot of ROM threads about locked bootloader or certain baseband, etc.
Any advice on that? Anything I should be weary about?

Yeah you should probably upgrade to MF1. There is a link to it on the page for that particular ROM i had recommended. I don't think a locked bootloader will be an issue at this point since you've already got CM10 on there.

Ok I'm lost. I've been reading around for the past few hours & I've been out of the loop for too long to make sense of this.
I have scrosler's [ROM][1/27/14] - Stock Rooted Knoxless - VRUCML1 - Android 4.3. I have the unlocked bootloader because I have TWRP installed (right?). I did NOT take the OTA to get to 4.3.
With baseband VRUCML1 can I jump to any other ROMS still? Or what should/shouldn't I be looking for?
I'm thinking of trying CM11 or SlimKat
If you can list the version then that would be great. If you do have TWRP installed, yes your bootloader is unlocked and you can flash any Touchwiz rom up to 4.3 or any AOSP rom.

Darn, only up to 4.3...
Versions:
Android: 4.3
Baseband: I535VRUCML1

I think you misinterpreted me. You can flash any AOSP rom that you want since you have TWRP installed. You're limited to 4.3 roms for Touchwiz. CM and SlimKat are ok.
Word of advice, if you're looking to use KitKat AOSP, the S3 has unified builds. One zip for multiple carriers. KitKat AOSP roms will be listed as "d2lte" when you search for recently updated downloads.

As you told you have custom recovery and unlocked bootloader...
I have tried many ROMs and personally will suggest you to go with cm11 .
Slim is also cool but cm has good features and gets updated quickly as there is a Professional team working on it.
Where as on slim if some one ports or adds some more stuff then u will get update which won't be ota ( cm will have some ota update )
Cm is cool ASOP is also cool.

Next time I'm dropping the $ on an unlocked phone so I don't have to "think" about what I can & can't do (Stupid Verizon).

You're welcome, always here to help out :good::good:
Also, I'm thinking the same as well in terms of an unlocked phone. Tired of worrying about which OTA is not for my phone or things like that.

This is actually a question I've had for a while. What sorts of things have OTA updates on CM? Does CM update "OTA" often or rarely? I used CM years ago on my OG Droid, but they didn't have updates back then. I keep hearing there are some kinds of updates on CM, but I can never find out what this really means... can you elaborate for me, please?

It depends actually if the developers will fix and update your device ... its on luck ... for example if the developer has the device and he will update for himself. Also it depends on device if it is capable of running the new android , means the hardware capablitity .... You can install cm11 as they are fast in fixing stuff and if you have some problem , xda will help you as cm is common on xda...
I had used cm11 on galaxy tab 2 and it worked like charm ... i was update ( android version v4.4.4 where as on stock they use v4.2 ) f***ing nice.... thanks to xda and cm.... love you all....
