i have a mobile odin guide...but it might be a little to much info for you out the gate....more or less on this device. if you want a recovery you have to flash a kernel...as ryan said...our kernels and recoveries are tied together. so you need to go to rwilco12's repo and find a kernel with a custom recovery (cwm ) that is compatible with the rom you are currently running.
if the device is on jb 4.1.2 you need to grab a gb27 kernel that has cwm in it....but if the device is on ics....you really need to odin the gb27 rooted one click that wipes data...this is needed because jb has a preload partition that we need to make room for.
there is a qbking77 video showing how to do this....but even easier than that...there is a link in rwilco12 repo for this exact one click...and it has instructions as well as a link to a video... i think.lol
if you are on jb 4.1.2 hit me back and ill walk ya through a mobile odin flash for the kernel....easy as pie...

Hey wonderful people of XDA,
I picked up an S3 yesterday and rooted it no problem. I can install ICS roms fine, but CWM errors out when trying to flash a JB rom (I have included a pic to show exactly what I mean)
It is a Telus S3, but from what I've experienced before with rooting, AT&T should work as well. However, correct me if I am wrong.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Read that. It talks about error 7, although they said they fixed it. The first time I tried to flash AOKP that happened and I just rewiped everything and tried again and it worked.
Thank you! I'll check it out
I had same problem I just updates to 5.8.4.7 and it worked fine, make sure to fully wipe

Hello. i came from a Tmobile G2, i knew how to root and flash and all that jazz, but then i got the Galaxy s3, and i kept hearing about bricking your phone, losing your imei, tripping flash counter and stuff. Can someone tell me how how to root the galaxy s3 and install the cm10 rom without bricking, losing imei, and tripping flash counter ? thanks.

fail dude , I wuz going to help you . For real, but then I saw that you can't be bothered with searching lol. Well search for someone else's to help lol fail post
Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
thank me if I helped
There's a couple of how to root threads in the development section. Flashing is the same process as your gs2.
As far as the imei issue goes , it seems random. The best advice I can give you is to make sure you flash a stock based ROM first that includes busy box , and backup your imei with one of the tutorials as well.
Good luck !

hmm.. so first i should do
1) SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 QCOM TOOLKIT V2.3 to get rooted and flash cmw recovery, do full nandroid backup or just download stock restore rom
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727120
2) then use the IMEI backup & restore by geeks to backup IMEI, - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804123
3) then flash CM10 Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778217
4) then use triangle away to reset flash counter ?
OR
1) use odin stock rom w/ injected root + cmw rocvery
2) use tookit to nandroid backup
3) backup imei with tool
alright nvm. got it rooted and flashed cmw. just need to know how to flash a kernal like trinity's. idk if its the same for this phone, but do i just name the kernal file pcimg10.zip and put it in the root of sd and go into cwm recovery ?
root done
i have rooted my phone. thanks
Ok so I just got this D710 Epic 4G touch. With some of the info I have read I'm guessing that it's kinda easy to brick these if you use the wrong method to flash a rom if it's before the source release & I'm not sure about where this phone is at. It has the Leaked(FF02) ICS Rom & Stock Recovery on it. I am not sure when this was released.
What I want to do is put phone on a good stable stock rom that everything works to get a good base & nandroid backup. Then I want to go to a good stable ICS or JB rom for my daily driver. Can I just Odin a OTA Stock Debloated Rooted Rom back it up then go from there?
Right now this phone's radio will turn off for a few seconds at times. This morning my phone rang so I answered it that's when the phone's radio turned off so that made me hang up on a Customer when I answered the Phone=NOT GOOD
I want/need something that fully works. Like the GPS works & the radio don't turn off n all that jazz.

A daily driver stock JB ROM will be leaked at some point today. Rooted versions also in the works. Keep an eye out for FK23 threads.
Also the radio problem looks like the eg30 radio. There was massive loss of signal on that one. Try something more updated. Like fi27 modem.

Thanks
:good: Alright thank you guys.
So I can flash what ever rom I want using the one click odin method? Like this Stock rooted rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
I personally would look for fI27 but yes. And one click is always recommend if your not 100 percent sure of what your doing.

1. Download full ROM, verify MD5 checksum and copy to phone SD storage. And download GApps and do the same. Also download the FL24 Modem as you will need that as well.
2. Download and copy Jellybean X2 Format utility to SD storage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077277
3. Install EL29 Directboot kernel. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295
( Look for: GB - Direct Boot CWM )
Note: .tar file is for flashing with Mobile Odin, .zip is for flashing in recovery (you probably don't have one), and .exe file is for flashing with Odin on PC.
4. Reboot into recovery, flash JB X2 Format then the ROM. You may flash the modem at this point if you like (required to run CM), but no other mods until ROM has fully booted the first time.
***Note- EL29 cannot flash modems- however, you can always flash it after the ROM boots with the built-in recovery***
5. Let ROM boot fully and settle for a couple of minutes during the initial boot. (It will take around 10 minutes)

Yes and yes. Make sure to uncheck everything in Odin before flashing. My ROMs both have the hotspot, Wicked X and Wicked S5 Xperience in Android Development.

If you're on NJ2 all you need is a custom recovery to flash the ROM. Then just follow the instructions on the thread. I recommend Philz Recovery.
