Do you mean this unofficial CM11: [ROM][4.4] CM 11 Unofficial - Beta 7 11-22-13 (Discontinued due to new device)?
Or this one: Cyanogenmod CM11?
Please check this thread: T999 UVDMD5 Firmware / Bootloader.
According to this, you might have to update some files (bootloader, modem, etc.) to be able to install newer CM versions.
AFAIK, only CM10 is officially suported for your device: [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10 Nightly Builds for SGH-T999.
If you have further questions, please ask in the T-Mobile Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.

Hi, I've rooted and flashed ROMs on previous devices but this has me stumped.
I installed CM 10.1.3 using a guide from unlockr
However I forgot to install Gapps (was blindly following the guide)
No bother, I downloaded Gapps for CM 10.1 from the official Cyanogen wiki page
However I'm getting constant google services force closes and Play store cannot update anything without an error.
I managed to install ROM manager via SD card, however it is constantly force closing, so I can't boot into recovery or flash a new ROM.
Does anyone know how I can start fresh, or flash a new ROM & Gapps, bearing mind ROM Manager will not work (reinstalled and cleared cache/data to no avail).
Some important info
- Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (p5110)
- Rooted
- CWM recovery
- CM 10.1.3
P.S. I thought I could reinstall a ROM through ODIN, however I don't know how to install Cyanogen mod though ODIN as it's a zip file.
Any advice on this would be great, and I can provide more info. if needed.
Are you sure they're for CM 10.1? It sounds like you've got the wrong gapps version.
-Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
I recently rooted my galaxy tab 2 P3110 with Odin and CWM recovery 6011 and i seemed to have wiped the stock android os as i cannot boot into it anymote - the Tablet automically boots into CWM all the time
Then when i try to install Slimrom or CM installer to flash and install a new OS but i getting an error 7 - unverified file so i cannot put any Os back on the device
Can anyone help?
Sounds like you flashed the wrong recovery, possible that you installed the p3100 recovery.
Try reflashing the recovery.

Flashing KK ROMs on outdated recovery will get you a status 7 error. Grab the latest (I'd go with TWRP as CWM support will be ending soon) version from here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548257 update to the latest one you like (CWM is 6.0.5.0) Load up a ROM and give it a go. I put all my ROMs on an external card to be safe. Maybe do that and then just install from such.
p,s. CM installer never works, I dont think our tabs are compatible with it. At least I've never got it to work.But, you dont need it anyways.

Here ist what i have experienced:
I was on System Version: 181.46.3
Well nevertheless:
It was the most recent version i could get and i wanted to get back to Android L.
I installed CM12 the Following way, I had a lot of problems with that. So here is my experience and everything:
So you need to know, to install CM12 or other CM12 based ROMS you first need to have CM11 installed.
Newer Versions of the recovery might be having problems installing CM11, so i would recommend using PhilZ Touch Recovery. It was working for me.
1st: install PhilZ recovery
2nd: factory reset
3rd: install cm11 (Unified Build, due to no up-to-date-build for XT925)
4th: boot
5th: install latest TWRP XT925/TWRP XT926
6th: factory reset
7th: install CM12 XT925 / CM12 XT926 or other CM12 based ROM
8th: install Gapps
9th: wipe cache/dalvik cache
10: Boot
11: Have fun.
Possible problems:
"This package is for moto_msm8960, xt907, scorpion_mini, smq, xt926, vanquish, this is a xt925" ------> You got a problem with the Recovery, it is too new. Try PhilZ
CM12 Booting, inconsistent Data partition stuff error ---------> you did not install cm11 and did not wipe Data before installing CM12, when coming from Blur Rom
Bootloop ---------> no wiping or you did not install cm11 before installing CM12
I hope this might have helped you.

Heyho
I have an XT925.
I installed the msm8960 Build.
The Reason i used the unified Build was, there is no KKBL build for the xt925.

just last thing, which version of philz recovery you installed, download link has latest one @esok44

If you come frome OTA Kitkat 4.4.2
you have to change Step 1st: install PhilZ recovery ------ to ------ Install TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img instead then you can flash the CM 11
If you like philz_touch_6.58.7-moto_msm8960.img recovery (it can mount external Memory Card as USB) you can flash it after all installations after Point 11. The only thing that you cannot start directly to recovery from CM 12.1
I was trying install CM12.1 ROM for Galaxy S3! [Android 5.1] on my existing CM12 [5.0.2]. I followed this article and installed http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-roms/cm12-1-rom-for-galaxy-s3-android-5-1/.
I did install ROM and GAPPS. Now It is bootloader loop. it is coming all the way to Optimizing apps and reboots again. I think is almost softbrick. I cannot access SD card in my computer to push new ROM or change ROM. What are options I have ?Anything I can do with ODIN? please provide me some steps.

Before you did that what version of Android was the S3 on?

Today I tried again on CM 12 and 5.0.2 with [ROM][Official]CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightlies for the Verizon Galaxy S3 (d2vzw) and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps . Still it is the same.
It is on boot loop "Optimizing app.." and then rebooting again. I don't know the solution to fix.

Its very possible 5.1 won't work on the S3. I would never follow some random link. XDA is reputable but other sites very well may not be. I still have my S3 on 4.4. My Nexus runs 5.1 fine but then again it's made to run the newest firmware

So i've been running stable slimkat 9.0 (4.4.4) on my galaxy s3 and it has been working great. I want to upgrade it to lollipop but I've had trouble flashing any lollipop rom. CM12, AICP, OctOS, PacROM all fail to boot after I flash in recovery. The boot animation starts, and I get the screen that android apps are initializing. After it runs through the apps, the screen blacks out and the phone resets and the cycle continues.
I've had no issues flashing roms beforehand. I can go back to 4.4. and 4.3 ROMs both AOSP and Touchwiz without any problems. I've flashed with both clockwork mod and TWRP and the results are the same. I do a clean factory reset and wipe prior to flashing the rom and 5.1 gapps.
I have no idea why it won't boot up for me. Would appreciate any help!

Are you on the correct firmware? MF1? There is a flashable zip in the CM12.1 thread for it.
Updating the firmware did the trick, thanks! Was running on ML1 up til now. Glad my s3 can still keep up with the times
