[Q] Dual rom on S3 (T999) ? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey, I have a T-mobile Galaxy S3 running on rootbox 4.2.2 and CWM recovery installed. I want to know if my phone compatible to run dual boot.
If yes, please leave me a link to the tutorial post. Thanks for reading.

No. Only by juggling backups with recovery.

I wish that they would make a multi-boot recovery like what they have for the Droid RAZR... While that was born out of necessity, I liked the ability to have up to 4 seperate ROM installs at a time - a LOT.

Official TOUCH ClockworkMod Recovery from Koush!

The new touch clockworkmod recovery is out from Koush for both the CDMA and GSM Galaxy Nexus! This is not the one with virtual on screen buttons, but the one Koush has been teasing where you can touch the word part (You know, like "Install zip from SD card" and etc.)
https://plus.google.com/112476065271141473049/posts/gzoPGMFEGYQ
Never mind haha sorry
Currently making a nandroid using it. Works like a charm.
This is super cool! But am I the only one who is worried about mistouches or similar? Def dont want to accidentally touch the wrong option while in recovery!! I'm assuming there must be a "confirm" option to prevent that.? Amirite?
I reccomend you do not install this if you are CDMA/LTE.
It breaks asserts. In English, that means no rom installs for you!
hmmmm. I was waiting for it since the release of Este touch recovery. I will try it.

Read the thread before replying.
Stating it works and having broken asserts are two different things. It works alright...as long as you don't mind it only accepting Maguro asserts.

Use Gweedo's version. I'm only familiar with his irc handle but his touch recovery works better and has buttons.

Check the thread that I made for this in the development forums. I included a video that demonstrates this recovery.

Is it possible to flash stock S3 rom onto S2?

Is it possible to flash the stock Galaxy S3 ROM onto an Galaxy S2 (and have it work)?
If it's not possible to flash the stock ROM, is anyone working on a port or something that is very close to stock?
The S2 is my first android, and I haven't had the need to root or flash a custom ROM yet. I recently applied the ICS update though, and it's driving me crazy. I hate some of the changes.
Thanks for the help.

Unless it was ported version, no. Absolutely not. You will brick your phone by doing so.

you cant directly flash s3 rom to s2.. i also had a s2. stock ics for s2 is realy a not good one.. try this rom.. andy x 15.3.. it has many s3 features and it is really good and beauutifuuull... and also download the jk deluxe settings 14.1 to do more customisations..

Try the Jedi mind trick ROM its pretty darn close to an s3. I'm running it now its pretty fast. Take a look in the dev forums. Its a very stable rom

to do all that you have to flash a recovery (cwm)...and thats rooting ur phone...i dont understand why anybody hasnt mentioned that...thats the only way you can use the roms they mentioned...and if your gonna do all that...i think the most stable rom is darkside v8 ...or you can use the newest jelly bean rom...they are coming along very nice...and jelly bean is all that...
The S3 and S2 have diffrent processors and a completely different hardware. You will have a very expensive paper weight. Ive heard many good things thought about Jedi Mind trick, that it has many S3 features.
I am running the Jedi Mind Trick ROM on my S2 and it doesn't look much different than my gf's S3 (obviously some things are different). She works for a "technology" company and it kills me that she has a nicer phone than I do - for now. The Jedi Mind Trick is probably as close to an S3 you can get on an S2 IMO.

This is a M919NUVUAMF2 4.2.2 Rom for the MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919N
with minor modifications and only the modem and MyExtras_TMO.apk removed.
I built this Rom to hopefully kick start a little development for the M919N.
Please use it as a base with which to create Roms, Themes and Mods from our firmware.
Its also great for M919N users who want a fully working rooted and deodexed stock Rom
with only minor modifications that you can flash in recovery.

Thanks for the screenshot, that helps a lot.
Please go to "settings/more/about device" and check the build number and the baseband version. They should be the same version.
If they are not the same, that is what is causing the "prevention notification" you are getting. Most likely the result of going from a Tmobile Rom to this MetroPCS Rom. They each have different basebands. There are two possible fixes I've read about.
The first is the easiest, just flash the Tmobile rom you were using before. That should take care of the wifi and "prevention notification" and different baseband issues. This means you cant use this rom though.
The second is more time consuming but if you really want to get this metroPCS Rom running this is what you need to do:
Go to this thread Unofficial M919NUVUAMF2 Working!!!! and follow the directions to return the phone back to MetroPCS 100% stock via Odin.
Then install the recovery of your choice, OUDHS, TWRP, CWM, whatever you prefer.
Then flash this Rom again.
Let me know how it works out.

Thanks for your help and you are absolutely correct! Unfortunately there's no radio zip to flash for our phone and I have yet to make one. I'm no dev, I just follow directions reasonably well. I have yet to find a guide to make a flash-able radio zip and honestly, I'm working on something else at the moment, so I haven't really looked. For now, the fix I gave is the only fix for this issue. In the future that will probably change. Thanks again for your assistance

Hi Robcop,
Tmobile TWRP is what I use too, though there are versions that dont work properly for our phone.
Version 2.5.0.2 is definitely working for our phone.
Why dont you stop by here:
http://androidforums.com/metropcs-galaxy-s4-all-things-root/
Its a place for the MetroPCS S4
Check out the posts, including a thread that walks you through installing a recovery and easy rooting.
I look forward to seeing you there. Say hello when you do.
strange things are happening
I never had this problem before, I have downloaded the zip 4 times thinking I did something wrong with the process as simple as it is .lol
Used the stock my files app to copy the zip to the 64gb external sd card and even this last time I created a couple folders and put it in there although when I boot to recovery and factory reset then chose zip fromexternal sd card its not there and whats weird even more is I see an older file that I have deleted several times back again, its the root_zip I used with odin to originally root the device. Crazy huh I think the sd card must be damaged.

Custom Recovery?

Got root, next step is custom recovery?

TWRP recovery is in process. I helped bigbiff with it on the Note 2014 and he has started on the Pro 8.4. It make a couple of days but we will get a recovery.
If the boot loader is locked does that mean he is working on a safe strap. I have a vzw note 3 and SS blows.....

He is trying to make the stock kernel work. Recovery booted fine it was just stuck showing landscape TWRP while device is in portrait and was not showing data partition for backup.

Getting closer. Recovery is booting fine now. A couple of small issue to iron out. Once this is released by bigbiff please donate or give him props. He has now worked on the Note 2014 and the Pro 8.4 just by me PM'ing him.
Might be a dumb question, but when this is working for the pro 8.4 will it also work for the 10.1 or is that a whole 'nother animal?

Whole other animal. You will need to contact one of the TWRP people. Bigbiff is doing the 8.4 and he did the Note 2014 also. The Note 2014 is very very similar. If you PM him you will need to have ADB working and be able to follow instructions from him. I have been pulling and sending logs.
Anyone capable of making TWRP themes? We are getting close on fully working TWRP for 8.4. He is going to get exfat support built in. The theme he has works but only uses 2/3 of the screen.
@nrage23 Any more progress on TWRP? I really hate using the CWM currently available.

He got 2.6.3.2 working well but they are releasing 2.7 so he is working on that now. There is no theme for a 1600 x 2560 device anywhere for TWRP. I got a theme very close and he is trying to finish fixing that as well.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.
