Hey guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy I9100 and without any experience I tries to upgrade my firmware to Lollipop today. It was a disaster. Now I'm stuck in Cyanogenmod 12.1 5.1.1 no installing GApps and no booting, no flashing rom. I cannot install any applications on my phone. I suppose I did something wrong about recovery,but not sure. For this issue, do you guys have anything to suggest? Thanks.

Download the firmware for your phone from sammobile.com and flash using the Odin app for windows using the instructions here.
From this flash custom recovery and try again to update to lollipop using Cyanogenmod files

Maybe you have to stick to the installation instructions of the ROM you want to flash.
Please ask in the ROM thread, or in the [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question. thread.
There you will get quick and proper help.
Thread closed and thank you.
Hello,
I'm new to this site but am used to installing custom ROMS. However, I have recently obtained the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 and would like to install a Lollipop ROM.
I know that I have to root it 1st & then install a custom ROM but I am having major issues where once I have rooted the device I can not load a Lollipop ROM as it just gets stuck.
PLEASE can someone help me. Am I using a recovery image that's not compatible with the rom? Step by step instructions with download links would be greatly appreciated.

You will want to use either Odin or Heimdall to flash the latest TWRP recovery from @Android-Andi's recovery thread. Make sure before flashing you make a full backup and wipe (at the very least) system, data, cache, dalvik cache, android secure (if this is an option).
Have a great day!
Hey Guys need you HELP.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 which was running on android 4.3 (official rom). I rooted the device and also flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which was successfull.
I tried few roms and it did not work and i got an error which siad I have a d2spr device and the rom i was trying to install was meant for d2tmo.
now how is that possible? d2spr is for Sprint and d2tmo is for T-Mobile... and my device is T999 (T Mobile) (I REALIZED THIS AFTER MESSING UP MY DEVICE)
Later I flashed it with a custom rom via recovery menu and after that i tried loading GAPPS also from recovery mode. The custom rom was ok but gapps failed to install.
After falshing the custom rom i checked about device and it says the model number was dat of a sprint mobile (i747)
I tried other custom roms and gapps.zip but now my phone will not boot...when i turn it on it shows the SGS3 CWM screen and reboots into recovery.
No luck trying to flash it with a stock rom using odin either.
NEED SERIOUS HELP PLEASE!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First, only flash roms that are specific for your exact device. With your model number changing like it is it appears you've flashed some roms for other devices. You may not be able to recover the device. but see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
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

i dont have any experience with your device, but you may want to review the roms thread and see if they mention upgrading the bootloader and/or modem. cm 12 is a good bit newer than what you have on, and those things commonly need to be upgraded.
check before you try it and ensure you need it or not, im just stating general facts
