Try droidstyle's guide. I'm on BAKED blackbean 8 (4.2.2) and it's just plain amazing.

You can't go wrong with most of the roms in the development section but I'd recommend trying CM10.1 first (found here: http://get.cm/?device=fascinatemtd) as it's the most consistent rom for the fascinate I've used

Lol that's the one I found, right after posting. So far I'm rooted however the steps to get to jb are not exactly working. Question 2 if im already stock couldnt I just install clockwork and flash a rom through it?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda app-developers app

Well... section 6 deals with rooting from stock so that you can continue on...
That guide has all the answers...
Droidstyle did a through job

Flashing to 4.2 rom
If you want to take an easier jump into 4.2 rather than going through all the crap. Check out VegasRomeos shortcut Here. It works great and is simple.

this is where I have issues, I'm thinking my rom zip is corrupt, it starts to flash then goes though a boot loop, and opens twrp, I never even flashed twrp. Im afk for the time, but I will make another attempt in the am with a new rom zip.
Thanks guys for the help.

[Q] Back to Stock and UNROOT Vibrant

Hi guys I wanted to get my Vibrant from custom rom n rooted to stock rom and unrooted
i read bunch of thread including the [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)
but i can't figure out which is the right method i need to use...
i didn't use Odin, i used OneclickRoot and Rom manager to install clockwork recovery and the custom rom (nerov3)
so can anyone give me a step by step process to how to proceed w/ the back to stock
i would really appreciate it
thanks
Just read up on the ODIN.. when you go back to stock, you'll be unrooted automatically

I just want to say Thank you for the link you provided. Most posts replying to questions are the usual "just do a little searching ..." and no one ever provides a starting point.
I've spent a lot of time "searching" and running into conflicting information or information pertaining to a completely different issue.
So again, Thank you for the link. It made this post simple.
[EDIT] I almost forgot to ask jimprime, why are you wanting to go back to stock and unrooted ?
I have not yet rooted, but have noticed a lot of people are looking at going back to stock and I am curious. Why root in the first place?
well first its not really my phone second i just wanted to try out froyo on the vibrant didn't c much difference and i didn't really find it that much faster than the stock and i switch back to stock
yea this helps out alot

I think so. You will need Odin. Find the thread by GizmoDroid called "Erasing the clockworkmod confusion". It's under android development. In that thread you will find "cwm recovery all 3-30-fix. Download it. Have you downloaded your rom of choice yet and put it on your SD card?

Yes, flash that with odin and then boot straight into recovery before you boot the phone normally. Let me know if you don't understand, I don't know how new you are to this.
I think I understand.. what the biggest difference so far is using ODIN to flash things.. Eris was much easier.. I'm going to read a bit more here before I ruin my new phone...
Currently I'm fighting a horrible Internet connection so I may be working from my phone a lot.. but I still haven't decided on a ROM... just unsure...

I have found that when I am within CWM ... when I mount the USB it comes up as a CD-ROM and does not allow me to copy/paste or format.. is there a fix for this or should I try and start over??

Jeez, I am confused.

I just got the Note today, and I have the GSIII. I am testing them both out. I was told rooting the Note and installing recovery was super easy but there are like 15 guides and I don't know how to root this thing.
I need a guide, and then maybe some suggestions to good ROM's once I actually figure out how to root.
Any help is appreciated.

Gosh thank you all for replying so fast, I thanked all of you.
No it is still on GB, I haven't done the kies ICS update. I would figure rooting in GB would lose root when I upgraded to ICs and then I would have to repeat the entire process.

Honestly I just suggest flashing an ICS custom ROM. Easier than kies, and better anyways.
If you want to try out the "stock ICS" feel, look no further than here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
that will still have smemo and all the stock widgets and launcher. It's just de-bloated, deodexed, and rooted. It's pretty much like stock on steroids.
If you don't care about the stock feel or the spen or touchwiz stuff, try anything else out there. Lots of good ROMs, all better than stock through kies.
I'm currently running rasroygbiv's Gubment Cheeze, a CM9 based ROM, and it's awesome. Haven't had an ounce of lag, and I've been testing it for quite a while now, before it was released here. Highly recommended that you at least try it if you like the whole CM9 thing.
And for your gs3, look for Nunhugger's Triune, it's a stockish debloated rooted ROM and he's doing some sweet things theming stock touchwiz.

That was hardly a smart response, I was stating truth, the issue you asked about that I responded to was true, if you didn't create the partition then the error is normal.
I could give you one if you'd like, like "Go Google how to use a recovery."

My problem is I can not install the original rom.
How many rom I tried WiFi did not work. That's why I want to install the original rom

did you find stock rom and kernal?
You can also try just flashing this in recovery:

Basically though what you're looking for is the ruu. I think there's a guide in development for how to ruu back to stock.

Odin is a Samsung thing, isn't it? Like I recall its use on the gs2 but never seen it used on anything non Samsung, could be wrong though.

You are right odin and odin mobile pro are designed for samsung ROM development on Android sorry about that
If you want stock, flash a stock rooted ROM. If you want true stock (no S-Off and locked, stock recovery) follow the guide Pio linked too.

Q about Roms

I currently have the Verizon Note 2, now rooted, and wondering if I can use the Dirty AOKP 5.1 rom. I know it is under the nexus 7 developer site, but are roms able to be used on different phones?
Also, I used casual to root my device, then backed up my apps and systems on titanium backup (not pro), but do not know where to go from here to load the rom. Do i run casual again and once I get into that team wiz menu, flash the rom from there?
Sorry, been reading up on this site but some of the lingo i'm not familiar with quite yet.
Do i make a new folder on my sd card and move the rom to that folder first?
Thanks a bunch~
Unless the rom is meant for our phones. Flashing something like that can brick your phone. Now that you're rooted, install twrp and then you can start flashing custom roms. There are plenty of good aokp roms here, but don't risk damaging your device.
Current device:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Running Moon rom V2 w/ Perseus OC to 1.8ghz, pimped out with the zero lemon 9300 mah

As ztotherad said you need to read droidstyles guide.
As for using Roms, if you want Roms check the ones in the Verizon Note 2 Development and Original Development sections. Those are the only ones for our phones.
If you're going to flash a Touchwiz ROM you can flash Roms from the other Note 2's but only the LTE ones and then you have to use a patch to make them work. The Note 2 Roms from other carriers are only from specific phones though, the include the N7105, the AT&T version, the T-Mobile version, and maybe another. You have to use the patch with those though our else they will not work. You cannot however flash a ROM for the Nexus 7 or other devices unless it has been ported to our phone, in which case it would be in the Development section.
That being said it is very obvious that you don't know what you're doing yet, before you attempt to flash ANYTHING from another carrier you must know what you're doing and understand the ins and outs of modding and ROM flashing and the only way to do this is to read all the guides and if you don't understand something to ask questions in the Q&A section if you don't understand something or need clarification.
For the time being you only need to flash Roms from the Verizon Note 2 Development and Original Development Section and only after you have read droidstyles sticky that ztotherad posted above.
Verizon Note 2 Development Section:

yeah, believe me, you don't want to brick this phone, it's easy to mess up.
Thank you for the guides. So what I have done so far is ran casual to root it, flashed aokp nightly, then flashed gapps-jb-20130301-signed. From what people have advised me, I haven't done a proper flash. Next, I have read up on the the droidstyle guide [GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Rom/Return to Stock the VZW Galaxy Note II many times and still have questions.
I have access to team win recovery project by pressing up volume, power, and home button.
People have been suggesting that I take it easy step by doing the flash of the rom provided on the droidstyle guide, and I will follow those newbie steps first.
Could people verify if the following step will be ok to take?
Download one of the touchwiz jelly bean roms from Section 2: How to flash a Touchwiz 4.1.1 rom/kernel from a Custom Recovery. (I've decided to go with mean bean)
Download file, transfer file onto sd micro card, power device off, restart device by going into volume up + power + home button. select wipe, then wipe cache.
Select install, then select the rom. Then reboot system. Is that it? or...
Do I also follow How to flash a custom Touchwiz kernel, and section 3? Or are those extra?
Edit: Also, in the team win recovery project, do I only need to go to wipe, swipe to factory reset to erase the previous roms? What is a good way to wipe to start from scratch again before flashing the mean bean rom that I'm downloading? I don't really need anything else on the phone...
Thanks again~

You hold power+volume up+home button to boot into TWRP. Then hit wipe.
At this point you have a couple options. You can simply swipe to factory reset.
If you have an external sd card, I like to move the rom (meanbeanice.zip) to the external. then i hit format data to completely wipe the internal sd.

So if I do an entire format data to completely wipe the internal sd, then flash go to install to install meanbean. I would have a clean new start with mean bean?
Yes, just make sure you hit the backup tab first to make a 'nandroid'. if anything goes wrong, you can boot into recovery and hit the restore tab to boot into the state of the phone as it was when you backed up.

I'll make the backup first. It will keep my team wiz recovery I'm assuming then?
For mean bean, I'll do the wipe, backup, then format data completely, install mean bean, go back and install sticky settings, go back and install sticky debloat to delete all the unwanted softwares? (Such as the nfl, amazon, and etc.)
Taking and reading how to properly flash one step at a time.~
Thanks everyone~

I did everything above, but for some reason, nfl, amazon, kindle softwares showed up even though i did run the sticky debloat. Something I'm missing? I guess I can just diable them, but wondering if I missed a step for the future.
Thanks again~

Did you change the .blt file as explained in the OP of Mikey's thread? You have to edit that file then run the sticky debloat. It's unlikely that at this point you would have the experience to edit that file before flashing the ROM (please take no offense...) that's why I'm guessing that's your issue.

It's actually one of the hardest to brick I have ever seen as long as you didn't update to VRAMC3, it seems like the minority of the issues come from phones with that update and is utterly puzzling. I'm just glad that I got my phone before *any* updates came out.

I wonder why it seems like VRAMC3 is causing more issues, I know its 4.1.2 and has a new bootloader but is there a reason aside from that causing the issues.... It could also just be that more people are buying the Note 2 since the update.
