Use PhilZ Recovery?

---------- Post added at 02:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 AM ----------

If its completely stock 4.3 taking the update will give you the knoxed bootloader if I am not mistaken which I don't think is essential to your problem *shrugs*

Just install philztouch recovery and flash superuser. Profit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duckredbeard:
My wife's GS3 is acting up and I was going to update her ROM to the latest (Likewise) version. Before doing so, I attempted to do a backup, she has TWRP 2.7.0.0. It failed several times, trying internal and external storage. The TWRP freenode chat was quite dead and the only response/suggestion was that her recovery was too old. So I thought about this toolkit to update to a newer recovery.

I launched the toolkit and everything was going well until I got to the "Select your build" part. She is running Likewise (4.1?) which is a 4.4.2 ROM, an NE4 based ROM. My only choices in the toolkit are 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 or 4.3.0. Her baseband is I747UCUEMJB if that matters.

So what should I choose for the build? Is there a mode I can put the phone in and connect and let it automatically detect the device and version?

Edit: using the toolkit to install drivers, should enable PC to autodetect device and version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duckredbeard:
After driver installation it indeed detected the device and version, but I still don't know which to choose.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
I have read that this toolkit is no longer supported and that others have had trouble with it.

I suggest you look at ROM's built by Enewman17 for our SGSIII. They are rock solid, and are stock Touchwiz based ROMS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duckredbeard:
Is there another toolkit I should look into? Just trying to update the recovery so I can flash the ROM update, or another ROM. Don't want to do anything until I can do a backup, which isnt working for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
If you want a TWRP custom recovery, try flashing the attached recovery TAR in Odin

Unzip the Odin attachment

1. Power off your phone

2. Open Odin

3. Put Recovery file in PDA slot. Uncheck everything except "F Reset Time"

4. Put phone in download mode (hold the Power button, Home button and volume down button simultaneously.)

5, Use Vol Up to confirm

6. Connect phone to PC

7. After Odin detects phone, click start

8. After flashing is done power off your phone, disconnect from PC

9. Hold the volume up, home, and power button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo, and then release. This should boot you to TWRP recovery

Sounds like the problem is in your computer, not in your phone. Try a different USB port, reinstall the drivers, try another computer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamLange:
Insecure kernel (not boot image) is kernel with "adbd" running as root by default. So when u connect to phone using adb tool, you will be granted root permissions. Thats why someone called it "unsecure" or "insecure" :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Just for future reference in the thread, flashing a boot image or recovery image will not wipe your device or delete any data. Even a wipe using cwm recovery will not wipe your Internal Storage.

It looks like busybox isnt installed on your phone so tar cannot create the efs backup. How did you install busybox on your phone?

Try rebooting your pc and load Odin up WITHOUT going through the ToolKit. connect your phone and try flashing something. The adb server in the ToolKit may be conflicting with the Odin drivers.

I appreciate the input.I tried that , I even downloaded a different Odin , and still the same thing. Last night I finally got the stock root to work.

Ok I've called ATT to request an unlock code... He tried all his systems (he said), and came to the conclusion that the phone is exclusive to ATT, and unlock codes are not available at this time... I wasn't gonna argue... I hadn't called them for an unlock in over 2yrs, and everytime they gave it to me no problem... possibly they just dont have the tools right there at their disposal to generate the code since the phone is so new...

Would it be worth the $26 for an unlock code so that yall can compare my locked efs to the unlocked one?

Please dont spend your money on unlocking your phone when you dont need to. It will be very useful for a before and after efs image and tar but only when someone is going to get it done anyway.

If someone is planning on getting an unlock code for their phone then could you please make an efs backup before and after and send the img and tar files (rename the files so I know which is which) so they can be compared.

Blank Screen problem

Ok, downloaded the toolkit, installed drivers, rooted (option 3) all fine. (I747 BTW).

I didn't play around too much with the phone when I was done, but it was functioning, so I didn't check root, CWM, busybox, etc. I got a little greedy, and was looking at the other things in the toolkit, and went to remove the boot animation. I backed up my old build.prop file via options in the toolkit, and then chose to disable the boot animation. Finally, I chose to reboot my phone to apply the change. The animation is gone, but my screen never functions again. The phone is booted however, and the computer (and the toolkit) recognize it.

So, I thought, well, "that didn't work." However, there was a note to do a battery pull so I tried that. Screen still didn't function after the point where the boot animation was supposed to start. Same result, in that the computer and toolkit can see the phone, but no functioning screen.

My next step was to restore the old build.prop file. So, once again, I walked through the steps and restored the build.prop file saved on disk. Rebooted the phone, and nothing has changed. I tried the battery pull, still nothing.

At this point, I figured I would just restore to stock, and begin again. So, following the instructions, I started Odin from within the toolkit, and flashed the stock att image. It showed success, but my phone remains in the same state!

I can get in download mode, see the initial Galaxy SIII splash, but when the boot animation is supposed to begin, the screen goes blank, and never comes back.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] malinois16:
Yep I had the same experience about a week or so ago. Try this. Pull Battery, Replace battery, boot into download mode, flash mr robinson's root injected stock rom, then reboot. It worked for me. BTW it was a bear to get to download mode. Hope this helps and good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbwray:
Thanks sir. I realized a couple things that may help. The recovery is (I misread in my panic) just a clockworkmod recovery install. While I was phone-less, I did exactly as you stated, and installed the injected stock rom w/ root that doesn't tick the counter. I wish I had done this from the start. This toolkit is nice for doing some routine things, but I shouldn't have been lazy at the beginning. Anyway, up and going again -- and thanks for the reply.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Great tool but there's one thing wrong

I'm loving how this tool guides me through all the different processes, etc. The only thing that made me angry the entire time I've been using it is when I tried to turn off the Boot Animation, option 17 I believe. It's been a living hell trying to recover from that one....The phone wouldn't boot past the Samsung Logo and USB Debugging magically turned off which meant that I couldn't use the "Flash Stock ROM through Odin" option because it was requiring usb debugging and for some odd reason the Nandroid that I created stopped working after turning off the boot animation. It said, "Error trying to flash Restore Files", and that's it. If I were an idiot I would have believed I was bricked hardcore but I'm not so I put it into Odin mode, (volume down + Home button + Power button), and I flashed the stock ROM through Odin.

The only reason I just put so much detail above, just fyi, is for another person who is stuck/"bricked".

You should seriously try and fix that boot animation mod so it doesn't do this to anyone else. :p

Well I have put a message about it in big capital bold letters at the top of the first post after it was discovered until I could update the Snapdragon ToolKit.

Had to uninstall Droid Explorer to do the ALLINONE root option

Hiya - just passing along some info you might want to add to the OP - in addition to uninstalling Kies, I eventually found out from googling that I needed to uninstall Droid Explorer as well, possibly having something to do with a persistent adb that is out of date?

During the ALLINONE rooting procedure, I kept getting these messages:

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *​

And the subsequent tests weren't completing successfully. Uninstalled Droid Explorer, restarted the toolkit twice - the second time I didn't see the error message anymore - and then the ALLINONE process went without a hitch.

Neat tool by the way, very nicely done, and readable for mere mortals! :D
