4.3 is Jelly Bean (JB), not ICS (..."I scream sand witch"....) could it be that you 've flashed wrong Gapps version?

It is just name of the ROM, and the developer writes you clearly in the first blue field, in the first text line:
Android Base CM10.1.3. RC1 JellyBean
JellyBean is not ICS (ICS is 4.0.x) so you need Gapps for CM10.1x / Android 4.2.x
CyanogenMod 9 is based on ICS
HELP needed for RemICS Odin installation
Not sure whether to start a new thread or not so for the sake of making xda a little less cluttered i will first post my query here:
It refers to the RemICS ROM thread already mentioned
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300693
This looks like a great ROM and i would like to do a one time flash using Odin
Are there any install methods using Odin. I see there is a full download on the page but it appears to be for a I9003. Have searched all over and not seen anything as yet
FYI: I am currently running DarkysROM JVQv10.2 Extreme Edition, firmware 2.3.4
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVQ-CL281085
thx in advance :good:

This isn't meant to be flashed via Odin.
Download the rom + addons + gapps + CM9 (you don't need CM9 gapps). You can download the rom + addons from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075058
1.) Backup everything you need to- call logs, SMS, bookmarks, etc with Titanium or other methods of your choice
2.) Reboot into recovery. Perform the three wipe combo (data, cache, Dalvik)
3.) Flash CM9. You'll probably have to flash it twice- once for the kernel, another time for the rom. Let it boot.
4.) Once CM9 has booted, check that you still have reception.
5.) Reboot into recovery again and do the wipe combo. This time choose to flash the base rom. You'll need to flash it three times- once due to the incompatible partition (first flash overcomes this), another time for the kernel, a third time for the rom.
6.) Once the base rom's finished flashing, reboot. Check you still have your IMEI- you'll know if you still have reception.
7.) Reboot to recovery, flash addons (flash Addons then Addons_V1)
8.) Reboot
9.) Back to recovery (AGAIN), flash gapps.
Unfortunately a one-time flash with Odin isn't possible. But the endless flashes you have to do for RemICS V6 is well worth it

thx for reply
thx for your reply and apologies for getting back to you late.
If only i could do it the way you suggested but for some reason (me) i have messed the phone so that it now no longer is able to mount the external SDCard so putting the relevent zip files on the ext card is useless because in recovery mode using CWM these files fail to show.
I note that via CWM it shows the card as unmounted. If i try and do a mount it fails.
any ideas?
thx

What about your internal storage?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD
Here is where my noob-ness kicks in.
What internal storage is available by default on the Note1? Is it just the internal sdcard?
what puzzled me when I last flashed with odin (repeated it a number of times as I was trying to get the device to recognise ext sd card) to get the current Darky Extreme rom on (which is working fine no problem at all) is that there was still some relic directory structure left over. These were all empty folders visible when navigating within CWM. Didn't matter what type of formatting I did they wouldn't go. To summarise: much confusion and something got twisted.
So questions arising are:
-How to nuke the internal disk/card properly so there are no remnants prior to me doing another darky reinstall?
-Then, how to copy a zip file to internal card but still have it remain after the format and wipes that would precede a zip install?
-How to fix the device to mount the ext sdcard? FYI other sdcards can't be mounted either. I have tried 4 different ones. And here's the kicker-once booted I go to file manager and there I can see and access all the files/folders on the external card!!! So it's definitely a phone problem as opposed to a sdcard problem. Something got flagged along the line.

Many of us are facing this problem where after flashing a 10.2 ROM and rebooting, the device is stuck at boot screen- the Samsung N7000 screen!
This is a strange problem which seems to be affecting only some n7000 handsets as others can keep flashing the ROMs without any issues...wiping, reflashing ROM, etc doesn't work!
I myself faced this problem on almost all custom CM 10.2 Roms and am sharing the solution which worked for me. At the onset, this solution was suggested to me by another member @Super Prince in one of my posts and it worked!!
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Flash the correct gapps once again
3. Reboot
The problem should be gone now and no more stuck-iness for you...

Which CM version are you on? This method has worked for me every time on CM 10.2 roms and official CM 10.2 gapps (the one dated 13/08/2013)
I used to get stuck on the GT N7000 screen after every reboot and resorted to all sort of stuff like reflashing, formatting and stuff but to no avail.
The only solution that worked for me was re-flashing the gapps!
Maybe you should try once again with the official gapps..and post your results.

I'm on Carbon, but I tried another CM based ROM as well and it did not work.
I will try it with the official Gapps and Slim Gapps then report back.
EDIT 1: Well. I tried the lastest Carbon nightly 10/17, with both Slim Gapps and normal regular Gapps and the same result, stuck on boot logo.
Both times I flashed a clean install. I'm out of options now.
EDIT 2: When I'm using a kernel from 4.3 and I'm on CWM trying to format Preload, I always get this message:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Error formatting /preload
Could that be a possible reason?, does anyone else have that same message?
No suggestions?
Am I'm stuck on 4.2?
Sent from my GT-N7000
It's the same for all on the new Cwm. Preload cannot be formatted in Cwm 10.2.
What happens when you clean install a rom without gapps. And boot it.?

I tried that last night actually, clean flash and no Gapps and the same result, stuck on boot screen.
What I've tried so far:
- Flashing different 4.3 ROMs with three different Gapps combinations.
- Flashing Carbon with no Gapps.
Thank you in advance for any ideas you can provide.
I have never encountered such an issue after a clean flash ever. So not sure what's going on there.
When a clean install, do you format system, data and cache and then install the new rom?

Yeah, what I do is to do a factory reset twice, then clear cache, then preload twice, data once, system twice and dalvik twice, and only then I flash the ROM and then Gapps.
I let it settle for one hour and then I start the configuration.
It is weird, because if I leave it to boot up normally for the first time, without opening any apps or configurations, it reboots normally. And only when I open Settings or an app, and then I reboot the phone, it gets stuck on the boot logo.
I've even tried to format the SD Card and no difference.
tried without the external SD card inserted?

@SirRhor Please try anothjer work-around before you do anything else:
1. Do all the wipes from a safe kernel
2. Flash Rom (only rom and no gapps)
3. Reboot the system without gapps
4. Now, reboot into recovery (I prefer to leave the system for 10-15 minutes to settle down before rebooting)
5. Flash the correct gapps
6. Reboot and set up ur google account etc.Restore apps or whatever u need from the play store. Dabble with rom settings
7. Reboot!
Did it work now?

maybe your bootloader corrupted already. Reflash the bootloader only or whole stock rom using ODIN may help ..
I'm glad to inform you that I was able to solve my problem following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427569
But instead of flashing the Stock Rooted ROM using Odin, I just flashed it within Philz Recovery.
Right now I'm changing settings and restarting on Carbon 4.3, and so far I have not had any problems.
To anyone experiencing this, just read this thread so you will not waste your time trying ALL the bullcrap I did and instead just try the guide above.
Thank you for everyone who helped me out.
EDIT: Maybe the OP can change the title of this thread to "FIXED" or "SOLVED".
So...which Stock Rooted ROM using to flash?...

Follow this guide to check for errors on the different partitions:

And to answer your question, I flashed a stock ROM from Hungary I think, no problems.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, instead of using the switches described on that guide, I used -f and -y at same time.

The newest CWM is 6.0.4.9. My suggestion would be to delete LGFreedom folder off your SD Card and re-run the FreedomFlex app again as it will then download the latest CWM and you can just flash the recovery again. I had the same issue with 6.0.4.8
Problem is I can't get anything accept CWM, and I can't mount internal card, LG driver is already installed, and I tried to reinstall it, but he is still not seeing it. Any idea how to access it? If I have to have old Sprint ROM to install FreedomFlex again, I need somehow to transfer it to the internal memory and start the installation from there.

I don't quite get what the problem is.... Are you stuck in CWM or can you boot into the rom?
If you're stuck in CWM and don't have a backup or any other rom to flash (why?), you can always sideload a rom using adb (if you are stuck in a CWM bootloop look here for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744482)
If you can boot back into the rom, follow my previous reply....
The only other option is to flash back to stock by following the tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083

Can't boot back to the ROM, I have stock ROM downloaded on hard drive, but I thought if I make a mistake, I would easily copy it to internal memory, and install it from there. Problem is that I cant, adb devices is showing nothing, so I can't use shell to copy ROM.

Well it looks like the only option is to go back to stock from the link I posted and start again, but make sure you've got everything on your phone you need before trying anything... Also trust me CM11 isn't worth bothering with just yet as there is a lot of issues with it, but I'm sure it will get there as PlayfulGod is working on it

Tnx for help, but I spent 4 hours trying to solve why I can't reach internal memory. At the end, LG drivers weren't working, so I pushed manually to set it as ADB port , and finally found the phone through adb devices command. After that, returning stock was easy. Now, I'm on CM11, thanx on those links, combining with one more thread and the problem is solved.
Hey guys I have a i9305 and my carrier is Vodafone (Australia) still hasn't released 4.4 yet.. So I've been on 4.3 for a while now, which is pretty disappointing. My mate was telling me that I could get 4.4 if I had CM, the only bad thing is that I've got no clue how to install.. Well I do but I can't find the right guide.. They either lack in the details/information on the install, there outdated or the videos are poorly made..
Could someone help me out and point in the right direction? Maybe leave a link or a video etc..? I also haven't touched or changed anything in my phone it is completely stock.
Thanks guys!
Thing you need:
1)An unlocked galaxy s3 (The I9305 version comes unlocked so dont worry)
2)A rooted galaxy s3 with CWM
3)CM 11 rom file, and GApps for CM 11
Steps:
1)To root and install CWM, go to youtube and search "how to install cwm on galaxy s3" a video by MrW0lf should come up(Im new in XDA so i cant post links, sorry)
2)Get CM 11 and Gapps (Google it, once again i cant post links sorry)
3)Put both files into internel/external SD card
4)Boot into cwm (power off, then press volume down, power and home key at the same time, once you see samsung galaxy s3 logo, let go)
5)Optional: Do a backup in cwm.(go under backup and restore and click backup)
6)wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache(wipe dalvik cache button is under advance)
7)choose install zip from SD card and go to where ever you put the files
8)Flash CM11 first then the Gapps
Hope this helps:good:

You can find everything you need to know in that topic. You shouldn't flash a 4.4 rom just for the sake of running 4.4 though. 4.3 stock with AGNi or Boeffla kernel is fine.

Vodafone customers in Australia have been waiting for at least 8+ months now for 4.4, I just want it for it's extra features. And yeh I've searched that thread but it doesn't really tell you step by step on how to do it..
Basically just want to be able to use 4.4 without different kernals etc..? Just CM 11 if that's possible.

Australia isn't the only country that has been waiting, 4.4 for the i9305 isn't out anywhere yet. Just download the things in that topic I linked and make sure the rom zip says i9305 and you should be fine. You have already rooted your phone and put on a custom recovery right?

No, if there were then you could just flash an official 4.4 rom onto your phone. Before you can install CM you need to put a custom recovery on your phone. You can do this either by flashing one using Odin / Heimdall or by rooting your phone and then installing rom manager from the play store and having that install CWM for you. I used the latter method on my phone, it's up to you which one you choose though.
I'll explain the latter method since it's the one I used, you have to understand that doing this can break your phone if you don't follow the steps perfectly though. This guide explains how to root your phone http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys3-lte-gti9305-root-android43-jellybean-xxeumkc-530002 . After step 11 you have to download this http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip , unzip it, go to the folder called "common", drag the superuser.apk file onto your phone or ext sd card and install it using "my files" (default samsung file browser). After that, run supersu, let it disable knox and then go to the play store, download rom manager, click install clockworkmod and choose the i9305 one.

Australia isn't the only country that has been waiting, 4.4 for the i9305 isn't out anywhere yet. Just download the things in that topic I linked and make sure the rom zip says i9305 and you should be fine. You have already rooted your phone and put on a custom recovery right?

American GS3s aren't i930Xs, they are only dual core as well.

Thanks but this is where it get's confusing do I have to download a specific version of GApps for the version of CM I'm on etc.. This is why I need links to help me out, I just don't want to do anything wrong just in case my phone get's bricked or something that's even worse..

you wont brick your device if you install the wrong GApps. If you google "GApps" a link to cyanogenmod wiki would come up, it has to links for the GApps for CM 11

So root, CWM and CM and GApps I should be alright? Would I still be on the 4.3 firmware and then I'll just have to update to 4.4 through the menu? Not sure how that part works.. But I'm starting to understand it a tiny bit.
Sucks how the auto installer works for the S3 but not for the S3 LTE..

1. Root your phone
2. Install CWM using Rom Manager
3. Put CM and Google Apps on your sd or ext sd (the .zips, don't unzip them)
4. Follow the instructions in the first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-official-t2524516
To boot into recovery press power + volume up + home. To flash things you have to navigate using the volume buttons to "install zip", press power and then either choose zip from sdcard (internal) or sdcard1 (external) depending on where you put the .zip files. To wipe things just go back to the main page and there is an option that says wipe data / factory reset. I highly recommend that you make a backup of your phone using CWM on your external SD and backup the efs using the guides in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915 before flashing CM.
After flashing CM your phone will automatically be on 4.4.

Too easy mate, would you recommend nightly or a stable version of CM? And also once everythings done can I remove the CM, GApps, CWM files from my sd card? Or do they have to stay in there, because I'm thinking they would.. Cheers.

The stable version is really old so just read through the last pages of that topic I linked and see what people say is a good nightly. You can remove everything except the CWM backup. Although, it is good to leave at least one custom rom on your sd card in case your phone soft bricks while you are out somewhere. Remember to back up your contacts and text messages before wiping your data as well, SMS Backup and Restore is good for the texts and you can just copy your contacts to your sim card. Also, if there are any apps you don't want to lose then make sure to back them up before wiping your data.

I followed the steps in Neo's thread about repartitioning and ended up in sh** where I can not see sdcard0 (internal memory) and phone says there is no micro sd card inserted even though it is.
I tried with terminal commands to fix storage permissions, but it doesn't allow me anything as it says files are read only.
I flashed the uninstaller as well which says it should help and did not help.
Any other ideas? :/

Which recovery is installed? Try AdrianDC's latest TWRP. Also CM13 might help as it will repartion the storage.

Thank you very much for answer, almost gave up on the phone pretty much.
Twrp is 2.8.xxx something (one supplied with Neo's rom), I tried with 3.0 did not help. Tried with Clockworkmod didnt help either.
I will search for AdrianDC TWRP and give it a go.
Cm13 I tried but did not want to apply the storage change because it could not find "system" partition, (almost bricked it I guess) but I managed to fix that with stock rom, and could later reflash cm 12.1
But I will try flashing CM13 again, and come back with info in case you will be able to give some input again!
Thanks for now!

No worries.
For the recovery, go here:

And CM13 here:

Cheers for links, Tried with CM13, no success like before getting error when flashing the zip:
"sdcard could not be mounted (ext4/exfat ?) please verify your partition file system
You are agreeing to format your SDCard
UserData partition still contains files"
so doesnt let me flash 13.
And to repair the partitions I guess I just try the TWRP and under advance the repair option right?
Terribly sorry to bother so much, but I like the phone, and would love to fix it again!

Try to flash twrp first. Then do a reboot and try again to flash cm13.
Please report back how it goes
Good luck

Done and done, but I basically ended up on the same spot where it said unable to mount /system + previous error about sdcard
and now can not flash anything anymore (so have to flash official rom again to start up my phone)
Maybe im doing something wrong with flashing, but i doubt it. (flashtool64 is which im using) fastboot, and under the option of select kernel to flash.
then rest is done in recovery anyway with installing, right?
At the moment I am installing official rom, so I can start over with flashing twrp, rebooting, then flashing cm13
One thing I learned to always backup working system before doing anything!

I'm sorry to hear that.
Once stock rom is on it, try to flash neos kernel and then boot into recovery. In there flash Adriandc's twrp (the zip file).
After that reboot and try to flash cm13. If this still doesn't work you could try Adriandc's files for repartitioning. He did some awesome work.
I'm on my phone right now so I'll keep it short, if you need further assistance I'll try to help you as soon as i get to my PC

Thanks!
Tried exactly like that, same error when trying to flash cm13 :"Updater process ended with ERROR:7
Error installing zip file ".zip"
I guess I ruined something really bad when trying to repartion following neo's guide, (twrp says about partitions this:
- Internal storage: (1812mb)
- Legacy SDCard (0mb)
- Micro SDCard (7488mb)
-USB OTG (0mb)
If you have any more suggestions I can try, otherwise we can give up! feels like nothing would work, though much love for taking your time trying to help me! <3

It doesn't look that bad at all. Which version of TWRP is currently on your phone? (also the build date)
It looks like basketbuild is down right now, but once it's back up again you could try this zip:
https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/CyanogenMod/XperiaBlue
it will repartition your phone to it's original partition table

Oh that sounds exactly what I would need yea!
At the moment I reflashed cm12.1 (neo's) which installs 2.8.6.x twrp. Build date was january i think. (phone is booting up still)
I will try this zip as soon as basketbuild is up and will let you know what happens. (I guess i just reboot into twrp and flash the zip)?

Yeah, boot into TWRP, flash a new TWRP (I think it was 20th july or newer), then reboot straight into recovery again and flash the restore_sd zip
My phone booted up now with the 12.1, and there is internal memory back, 11gb out of 11gb free, accessable, and everything.. No idea what caused it to appear again but something what you said basically helped me and restored it back to original.
So thank you a lot! I kinda want to try and repartition it again to have more space for apps, but im afraid ill just blow it again.
You think I should try installing cm13 now as storage looks normal again?

I'm really glad you managed to restore it! Mint is still a great device.
Yeah, but CM13 will repartition your phone again (automatically). It will warn you once that all data will be lost, on second attempt it will flash just fine.
