Can you get it back into recovery at all? But only the stock recovery? I've had cwm need to be flashed a couple times to take hold on occasion. And I've also run into times where I couldnt get into recovery without entering by turning the phone on by inserting the battery. IE start with a phone with no battery, hold buttons for recovery, insert battery.

Well, today was a bitch. I got CM9 installed, loved it, set it all up, then realized I left some data on my stock backup. I loaded that, saved the data to the SD, then attempted to load up the CM9 back-up and it would not boot. I had to clean everything off and could not find a CM9 Sprint ROM so I was forced to install CM10 Nightly. It is definitely daily-drivable but there are a couple problems and a few minor browser crashes. ROMmanager is not working so I'm not sure how to update when a new nightly is available without starting over. Any ideas?

it's pretty easy once youre rooted. i have folders on my mem card for cm 7, 9, and 10 when i want to flash to any of them i just hold my power button choose reboot and then choose have the option to do a recovery reboot. it then boots directly into clockwork mod i then choose to wipe data and cache. then i choose install from zip then choose the folder i want then install the rom i want... after thats done i then choose the gapps for that same rom ie gb needs gb apps ics needs ics apps... and install it. reboot and good to go.

Where can I find a link to the final CM9 Sprint i9300 release? Everything on the CM page is for the international phone.
This all depends on one thing...
How will I update to the newest release of CM10, and not go through setting-up this phone all over again?
Thanks for the help, I'm new at this ****.

Ordered a pre-owned Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 for $170 from Cowboom yesterday. Was very tempted by the Nexus 7, but the screen just feels slightly too small for a multimedia device. 7" is about right for an e-ink reader, but constricted for browsing or movies.
Now, will Samsung release ICS before my Tab arrives? It's been promised since April. Last estimate was "Mid-August".

I also cannot seem to back-up any of this CM10 stuff which is really frustrating, but expected for an experimental ROM.

The cool part about non-cell phone tablets if you get the newest ROM when it's finished, but it still gets dirtied-up with TouchWiz, which I thought had a few bugs that were annoying. I'd go ahead and root the thing and install a JB ROM if available. I like the look and feel of JB significantly more than ICS.

Here's the list of supported devices for slim ICS. Looks like the GS3 can get slim ICS. Supported Devices.
And it looks like there are plenty of other roms out for it. Sprint Galaxy S III Android Development - xda-developers

The only real problems are:
haptic feedback won't turn off
Google search bar and voice don't work
random Chrome crashes, batter life could be better.

******* piece of ******* **** Sprint ICS needs to DIAF. Navigation doesn't work, can't find satellites. Can't upload photos, internet radio isn't working blah blah blah.
And battery life is TERRIBLE. Drained 25% yesterday searching for a ******* GPS satellite for 10 minutes yesterday.
Unacceptable. Going to throw this piece of **** through their window and tell them to give me another phone with 2.3 on it, because it WORKED.
