I tried to post this on cyanogen mods website but I was not allowed to post
I bought a AT&T Galaxy S III for my wife this weekend and ran into several problems installing cyanogenmod 10 on it.
Installing:
First the Heimdall program failed to "initialize interface" and no matter what I tried it failed to connect.
I managed to get it installed by using the ODIN to flash different clockwork mod (but that errored out on the when I went to flash cyanogenmod 10 )
So I used that to root it then installed cyanogenmod via rom manager by having that install the right clockwork mod then cyanogen 10.
It would be nice if they provided a ODIN Image for cyanogenmod
VoiceMail:
voicemail was missing its number after I installed cyanogen mod.
It took me forever to get this correct. Found out that you just forward to your mobile number. In the phone settings. or dial **004*PhoneNumber#
Also Google voice failed to setup correctly as well and had to use the **004 path.
Skype:
downloading via google play kept returning "package file invalid" (I cleared /cache and dalvik cache still failed) I ended up downloading it via the androiddrawer website and it installed (sideload?).
The problem with this is when using the voice or video chat the other side just hears very load static. Found someone claiming these problems came from cyanogenmod 10 not using the correct mics all the time. This is still an issue.
My questions are these issues fixed in the most recent version of Cyanogen the M releases? And if not are they known and someone working on them?
And does anyone have a fix for the static issue in skype?

Unless your wife can troubleshoot issues why install a custom ROM on her phone. My wife would kill me since she has no clue but I digress.
Why not flash 10.1 on the phone and download the gapps from the goo.im site and see if hat helps your issues. Maybe you got a bad flash and/or download. For the short amount of time I tried it I didn't have any of these issues you do. Those don't seem to be any bugs in the known bugs beyond maybe the static. Task's AOKP is another one to try if you want a custom stable rom.
Try another ROM or maybe a fairly stock rooted rom and see if that clears up any issues.
Are you using a Mac or a PC ? You mentioned Odin (for windows PC's) and heimdall (for all others). Honestly the best way is to flash a stock rooted ROM from the no tripping flash counter Rooting thread in Development and then flashing CWM in rom manager. Limiting having to flash in odin is the far better option. I've never ha d a bad flash in a custom recovery but everytime I have to use Odin I get extremely nervous.
Read Beerdroid's guide and you can't go wrong

agreed.
there are a couple good and stable stock/touchwiz custom roms as well as AOSP-based roms on this forum. i would steer clear of nightlies and super-custom roms that are always posting new updates. these are less stable imo.
put something on her phone thats solid and be sure to use the proper wiping and flashing procedures when you do so. wiping/flashing correctly makes ALL the difference on the software's performance while it's running on a device

Well I went with Cyanogen because I used it on my old droid incredible and its was great. I also want a stock like rom because I personally use a stock Nexus 4 and want my wifes phone to be similar and wanted to remove all the retarded extra apps atnt and samsung threw on.
So no idea if the 10.1 would fix the static issue then?

I can't say for sure but download and see if it works out of you. Thing with bugs is that they aren't always reproducible. I don;t see your issue as a known bug on 4.2.2. There are a few other ROM like super nexus in the dev section that are a practically stock nexus feel. Why not give that one a try ? Give AOKP a try as well.

i'm an advocate of AOKP, but thats just my 2 cents. there is a very solid 4.1.2 milestone out and their 4.2.2 milestone will be released very soon.
although faryaab is a great kid and puts some good stuff together, remember that supernexus is a port and you could experience bugs (as i did). again, just my opinion
ok, i just got a captivate glide from my gf, ive been looking into flashing and rooting for about 3 months, but i JUST got an android (ik so behind) but originally i was looking into sidekick 4g for keyboard but this worked too in my eyes and it was free so i figured why not, but either way i wanted to root and flash, but now im at a barricade that im not sure if to continue or not, i rooted using one of the threads directions
this one to be exact
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378082
i ran into a barricade here at first, the initial set up wouldnt run, i fixed that by doing the Vol. Down plus Power recovery mode i think its called, and clearing memory then rebooting and it worked fine, i was rooted and had the super user app as well (some boxes from widgets were invosible like accuweather and the android assistant thing but, thats ok).
ok next step i knew if i was supposed to try to flash a rom i should back up EFS which i did with some difficulty (such as figuring out i needed busybox lol)
ok now my next step was installing ROM manager by clockworkmods
NOW onto the actual part i need help with that i couldnt figure out myself (and excuse me for being newbish here too as i dont know much but im not bad with tech either but i felt i damn near bricked the phone in the process already so i WANT to continue with guidance before i do anything else)
now that im rooted, now that everythings backed up on my computer and ive got rommanager and everything
what now
will i still be rooted once i flash a rom? will i still have busy box, super user, all of that stuff? (as the thread i rooted with clearly said that was flashing a rooted rom)
and theres some other personalization questions i need help with too but thats more towards once ik what direction im going in
and uh.. not sure if it matters but im on metropcs service, so occasionally i get issues if i have to reset the phone at all as i have to change the ANP or ADP cant remember the acronym but ive got to change it from some t-mobile one to the metropcs one, i dont see why that would matter but, its a just in case emasure, also im using the ATT one not rodgers (not even sure what rodgers is tbh)
EDIT: OH one last thing. the rooted rom is gingerbread.. thats my main reason for wanting to change it.. i want kitkat, or would prefer kitkat, but id like some opinions as well on what perhaps the best ROM would be, im not sure between omni-rom and cyanogynmod which are the main ones im looking into, but, again, get more into that later
ok now
now im looking through the Rom info.. and.. im starting to wonder.. is it even worth it?
what sacrifices am i going to be making if i flash a custom? what all can i change without flashing a custom? and can i still get kitkat without screwing up my root (KIES?? or ODIN??) its just the things like this that make me wonder... i want the root, that much i DO know, theres so much i can do with rooting im seeing this and enjoying this, but i just need some type of guidance as to what to do, and if theres a better place for this thread please feel free to move it as i do see that it might be ok to have under general ndroid questions, but, i wasnt all too sure on it as this isthe phone im using so any issues deriving from the phone type might screw someone up
Most of the custom roms are rooted already.
There is only 4.0 official, no kitkat. We dont have odin custom images, nor KIES. You must wipe your data, system, boot parition, install KK means clean phone for you.
I think KK is better then official, but it has some limitation.

ok.. im confused then, cause i had kitkat on it when i used kies to update firmware, or atleast i thought i did, perhaps because both had 4 and i was sleepy i was confused lol, and sorry but if KK doesnt mean KitKat then what does it mean. and how high will a custom Rom take me in terms of lining up with official, just to ice cream sandwich?. and.. cyanogenmod, ive been tempted to get it but.. im not sure exactly which one to get because when i was on the site i only found captivate in the devices not captivate glide
EDIT: one more thing, as far as wiping the phone clean and starting over, what do i use.
and of course if you say the rest are rooted, then whats one of the best kernels and roms to use then, its true i want atleast ICS on here, so.. if im right i looked up KK, do you mean KKlauncher the app?
well...
ok i soft bricked my phone, it just shut down in middle of installing some fonts, and for some reason i cant restore it even tho i created a back up as it advised me to do so, i get errors in CWM recovery,
now im about to just do this
using this as a sort of reference so people can keep track of me if something else happens that i mess up..

I mean KK is kitkat. I dont know what did you read, but there is ICS the last official.
Cyanogenmod and other custom roms has own official support, that what you can download rom their site. We dont have official support from them, you cant download those roms from there. You can found download link in rom's threads.

I preffer CM11, but yon can found many other KK roms.
If you brick you randroid, just reinstall same you had.

hell i got it back on default ICS now lol, i screwed it up XD and yea ik you guys dont have the downloads your selves but the links and guidance of what i should be doing is basically what i was after ill look at the link you gave me, i think im going to chill out with the flashing right this second, but ill pick it back up later im sure, i atleast liked the cpu setting apps. made my battery last much longer and for what time it lasted i loved it
ok another thing im concerned with is alot have bugs that are deal breakers for me, such as messing up the keyboard (the whole reason i have this phone)
and looking through it i do like CM11 too
but looking at your post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588304
can you explain what you mean by the fixed rotation and skype issues,
and perhaps is there a full feature list somewhere? thats one big thing i want to look at if possible, i usually just keep seeing bug fixes on any ROM
Voip apps (skype,vibert etc) have strange sound, only temporaly fix exists.
When you take a picture with camera, it has fix rotation, I dont remember witch position is the fixed one, but you make photos with different rotation, the picture will be rotate 90/180/270, and you must fix the image.
Most importan bug are: phone call sound doesnt work with BT devices, and voip sound is buggy.
Hello, this is my first, and most likely stupid post...
I rooted my Epic 4G last night (amazingly) but now when I try to follow numerous guides and discussions on how to update my OS (I have the last gingerbread version) which is the MAIN reason I wanted to root my telephone, it stubbornly (or more likely, I STUPIDLY do something wrong) and it refuses to flash or install any of the CM Mods that I see EVERYONE else is running just fine on their Epic 4G!
I've installed ROM toolkit which LOOKS like it should easily install whatever ZIP file I've DL'd onto my SD card. But in every case with different mods, it comes back with the same error when it tries to install, which is 'Cannot mount the SD card', but it is mounted and seen just fine and it is mostly empty.
I followed these steps with the exception of using the PC interface, instead trying ROM toolkit to flash it which is found here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540250&page=77
But, I get the same error when it goes to install. I MUST be doing something wrong. I am really VERY much a newbie, but unless I need to go about this differently, I am REALLY stumped after trying and reading for many hours now.
I would sure appreciate a nice, SIMPLE way hopefully to upgrade my OS from Gingerbread to whatever I can use (I see others saying they are running KitKat just fine!)
Thank you so much!

I don't get what you are doing. Why are you trying to install that rom? That is an epic touch rom! Not an epic 4g rom, that's why you're getting errors. Just install any pre-rooted rom with clockworkmod, I usually use FC09 pre-rooted, and from there you can install cyanogenmod or a slimrom.

Oh, hey, I am SO glad that you took the time to answer me, thank you!
See, I TOLD you guys that I am not really conversant with this. I figured that I was doing something wrong. I absolutely PROMISE that I have been reading about this and trying to figure it out for like 2 full days STRAIGHT!
Would you mind, please, terribly just listing the basic few things that I have to do? I REALLY am confused by this. Are you saying that I need to install clockworkmod first? What version will my Epic 4G take? All I have installed now that seems related to this is the ROM toolkit PRO and ROM Manager. When I DID try to use ROM Toolkit to install this Rom, I got a long prompt how I didn't HAVE Clockworkmod, but I thought that it came with one of the others, I guess.
Could you PLEASE list precisely what I need to do? Could you kindly list the links for ANY pre-rooted ROM that you would recommend, or ones that work on my Epic 4G? Once I understand the steps, then I probably will know what to do if I want to try others, but I am kind of stumped as to exactly what to do now. I didn't even KNOW that that was an Epic Touch ROM! I'm surprised that I was able to follow the steps just to root the dang thing!
Dude, if you wouldn't mind taking pity on me and show me what I need to do, that would be super nice. It SOUNDS from what you said that I need a version of clockworkmod and I just need the RIGHT Rom and just how to do it, I guess...
Thank you so much for your time and any help that you can give!
Ah, got Clockworkmod!

Hey, I DID actually get a version of CWM. I installed ROM Manager and then it prompted me to 'update' CWM. Now, I had installed RM before and HAD tried to update CWM, BUT... it never allowed me to do that. However, THIS time, it DID! And now it continued and asked me if I wanted to flash CWM, and I said 'DO I?!!!' And it did. Now, I have a whole new option screen which I haven't looked at yet.
Soooooo, I'm kind of HOPING that now all that I will need is to be pointed toward a rooted ROM for my Epic 4G and just the steps how to do it.
I was TRYING to do this through ROM Toolbox Pro b4, but no go...
Thank you kindly again for whatever help you can give me!

Okay, I am now DLing this file:
cm-10.2-20131125-UNOFFICIAL-epicmtd.zip
Which from the page LOOKS like it is for my Epic 4G. I will TRY to see if I can transfer it to my telephone's SD card. Then, I will TRY to, what, 'Flash' it...? ... using CWM that I THINK is now on my telephone?
Anyway, I didn't want you to think I'm being a deadweight. I AM trying to figure this out
Thanks!
Tried, but no go...

Okay, the good news is that this time when I tried to install this package that I mentioned above, at least I didn't get the SAME error about not being able to mount the SD card, so that is SOME progress, I guess.
However, this time as it opened and tried to 'verify update package' it came back with an 'e-Signature verification failed'
Soooooo, did I indeed choose the WRONG ROM again...?
I will wait to hear from you when you have time.
Thank you kindly again!
Naaaa, I think I'm gonna frigg'n give up...

sigh... well... I think I'm gonna give up. I DLed yet ANOTHER seemingly official rom FOR my device, it appears, from this site on this page:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=epicmtd&type=stable
The one at the top: cm-10.1.3.1-epicmtd.zip
It says 'STABLE', but it could not verify the signature again.
So, until SOMEONE has mercy on me and tells me what the hell I'm doing wrong, I guess I will give up.
Thanks anyway...
IIRC you have to turn off signature checking in CWM. It's a menu option. I would recommend installing v11 M12.

My CWM is not Premium, so I don't think it has the option about signature verification. I did see on another thread that a fellow couldn't do it through ROM Manager because he kept getting the signature verification error. So, he was ultimately able to do it through Odin 1.85, which I have. The only thing is that the ROM is a Zip file and Odin will only flash Tar files because I've tried to do that before.
At least now I KNOW that I have a good link for the ROM itself, thank to you!
Now, all I have to do is figure out how to install it. I sure hope that I don't also have to buy ROM Manager Premium, because I just paid for ROM Toolbox Pro, which you would THINK would be powerful enough to do this, but I guess not...
Thanks though...

Heh... I guess I haven't QUITE given up yet...
Anyway, I thought that you should know that through ROM Manager my telephone is NOT booting into CWM's boot recovery. When I choose to boot to CWM recovery it ONLY boots to the stock Android recovery showing a little Android figure with an error sign and then in yellow letters below it says 'Manual Mode'
That may also indicate that something else is wrong...
Got it!
FINALLY! ...after reading about MANY different approaches for other people with different issues, it occurred to me to try using Odin to 'Flash' the actual CWM recovery program since it never seemed to update or EVER back up to it no matter how many times I tried. FINALLY... by holding down the 3 buttons immediately after flashing CWM recovery, it FINALLY actually booted up into the CWM recovery mode! THEN... and only then could I properly install the CM11 version and it all went great!
Now, the only thing I'm trying to figure out is how the hell to sync my Google contacts to get them all back!!! :laugh:

Ahhhh... I didn't have ANYTHING Google, and then I remembered from what I read that in just about every case where someone installed a ROM like this one, they also mentioned a GAPPS file! DUH!!!!
So, I'm going to try to find the right one.
Also, something really weird... the Play store says that I already have some apps installed like ROM Manager and ROM Toolbox and others, but darned if they DON'T show up in my apps on my telephone. I wonder where the hell they are...???!
Thanks!

I'm glad that you made it. Never give up on flashing. About playstore it shows, under all apps, ALL apps that has been installed using that account. It's been so long since I rooted my epic, like 4 years ago, that I don't remember how I did it. It's a really strong phone.
I personally prefer slimrom jellybean, with kitkat you will have few storage left and you will have to use app2sd.

Yep, I've definitely already run into the storage thing. There is only like 500 Megs of internal storage. I already tried 'Move to SD card', but I'm not sure that is the same one. I really couldn't move that much to the SD card, at least from that app.
Basically, after installing the Google Keyboard (to get the voice-input for messages) I THINK I'm done for now
BTW, thanks for the suggestion about Slim Jellybean!
Thanks mate!
Regardless of which ROM freshly installed I get "process com.google. etc..." errors
Before I provide more details if needed I just wanted to check the first thing that I should which I'm clueless of. But so far its been a few ROM's. The latest were a couple stock ones and before that, the last time I was regularly using this phone a few years ago I believe it was an ASOP(did I get that right?) ROM. Are there a few common sources I can check for problems that might solve this? The messages seem to just pop up whenever and they are all different but usually start with process com.google then something else. Just need a point in the right direction as when I google these the only general solutions I found were to clean a variety of caches, apps and I've tried clearing dalvik and regular cache from TWRP but that never helped. So any ideas would be appreciated. Also for some reason can't install apk's. Play store works tho. I get that 'error parsing' error. Not sure if related.Trying to set this phone up as a backup phone.
Though I do not know the answer to your problems I would like to suggest you move your thread to Q&A or General because you will not get any answers in the section you posted in...A mod Might move it but if not you definitely should...Just word of advice that's all

Thanks. Actually its been solved. For the moment at least. I think for my latest reinstallation actually. Don't know why it ever gets these issues. I guess I'm afraid to accept that it could be hardware somehow which would be more difficult to solve than software. Well anyway, hopefully it stays this way
I'm currently using the latest version of ResurrectionRemix and it's a bit too unstable for me so I'd like to go back to something stock-ish. I'm currently on CQB2, so should I do anything more than flash CQC1 and then MODest? (I'm going to do a clean flash.)
Also, I've had a lot of trouble getting anything GearVR-related to work ever since I first started flashing custom roms on this phone. (Even after completely reverting to unrooted/locked stock more than once.) Is there anything I can do to get that functionality back?

I'm currently using the latest version of ResurrectionRemix and it's a bit too unstable for me so I'd like to go back to something stock-ish. I'm currently on CQB2, so should I do anything more than flash CQC1 and then MODest? (I'm going to do a clean flash.)

I was looking at RR, myself. I'm glad I came across your post. Thank you. With to hsbadr's other 7.1 ROMs, it looked as if you needed to flash a special version of TWRP, but not with RR. Did you do this by accident? It doesn't appear that RR needs this. I wouldn't know for sure, not would I know if flashing this special version of TWRP would cause the instabilities you speak of.
I'm on the second most latest version of MODest (v6). There were problems with v7. First, the wifi didn't work, and that got fixed with an update (v7.1). I believe there's another issue with it, regarding a method to unlock your phone. It wouldn't affect me, since I use a PIN. Read the thread on it, maybe just glance through the last couple of pages.
Anyway, I THINK all you need to do, is flash CQC1 in Odin, then the ROM in TWRP, which includes a kernel. He's also got a separate post for the kernel, as well. Not sure why. Since I'm on MODest, I don't need it.
I'm waiting until everything is ironed out to upgrade to v7.x. v6 is running just fine, for me, but I'm a glutton for punishment and upgrading my phone, going through the backup and restore process over and over again.
