I was under the impression that the Samsung Galaxy S 3 could not have 4 G and was limited to 3 G or L T E. Can someone explain why I don't have 4G on my phone when my evo 4G had it.

Kind of like asking why your VHS videotape machine didn't play your old Betamax tapes. Well I guess I just dated myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Boostking:
What I mean to say is I don't understand why he's asking about 4 G unless he's meaning to say 4 G LTE. I read the GS3 can only have 3 G or 4 G L T E so I was just a little confused by his statement,

Lol. Memories...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DatDude123:
Correct, WiMax is dead. That was the original Sprint 4G back in the OG Evo days. Now Sprint is rolling out their 4G LTE service. We reference it as the only 4G now.

what is: 2.4/5GHz WiFi Frequency Fix for LG8

does this help with WIFI signal strength? I noticed a post from freeza that he was going to update it for LI3, but don't see a post on that fix...

Edit: nevermind, found what it is, will wait for the LI3 fix freeza said he would release soon...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Knightbird68:
Is there a reason i cant get this to flash with the stock recovery or with Odin? I have tried both Odin Mobile and Odin from my PC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ariel123:
is LG8 the latest radio or LI3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] il buono:
LI3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ariel123:
i recieved the ota pop up but when i tried to update it just went to recovery mode. i am rooted now how can i get that pop up again or get the li3 update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
Follow the procedure that myn posted in this post. This worked perfectly for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ariel123:
thanks that was easy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmdatcs:
Anybody have a problem using google talk on this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] psyman42:
So what's LIH?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmdatcs:
LIH is the latest leak.

LI3 is the latest officially released modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dyehya:
Why is the boot.img in the LG8 not matching the stock signature?!

I forced my OTA update and everything works not sure why it wasn't matching for the LI3 update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
When I delete files from system/App after rooting, why don't they come back after I wipe data and cache and flash stock rooted rom?

It even didn't work when I went into settings and did a hard reset

The only way I got them back was to do what is listed here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904099) and start all over from a non rooted state

Any idea why?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
Does the first link have the full firmware in it or do I need to install that one as well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
First link is ROM only, so you do have to install the all-in-one firmware.

Swyped from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
oh ok, thanks!

what if I had the latest OTA prior to rooting? do i still need to flash it ? I left you a thanks too =)

Edit: it only limits me to 8 thanks per day..Ill get you back tomorrow!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Are you running v4? I am. If so, what's your kernel timestamp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
No, I'm running v1. And it's like everyone else's timestamp - may.

EDIT: I'm thinking that I want to do the OTA update route, but I'd like to have the newest kernel as well. At the same time, I simply don't know how things works on sgs3 - are kernel and recovery in separate partitions, does cwm v4 have the ota kernel.

So, I'm asking questions :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Crap....lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
My screen shot was with CWM version 4 installed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Then it's settled! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Ya mine too, I flashed Version 4 today after I rerooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] junior619:
I'm rocking v4 also
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I'm not to up on Samsung but I was a fashaholic with my nexus s4g. There were no kernels built into CWM recovery. We flashed the kernels with cwm just like you flash roms. If I remember correctly it was like that with the og epic4g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
Nice thanks.

You wanna try something for science?

Flash cwm v1 and see if you retain the ota kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
But think about the boot count!!!!!! lol jk Think im like at 5 count.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] klarthur:
Does boot count even really matter? I mean, does the phone like freak out if you reach a certain number or something? I keep seeing mention of it, but not quite sure why it's such a big deal. I understand that reps can see if you have flashed roms if you take it back to Sprint or whomever, but there is supposedly a way to reset the counter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Not to me but I guess some ppl freak out over it. Hey I know once I root all bets are off anyways with warranty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] knives of ice:
everything flashed fine. i just don't get why i am still getting notified of a system update. how do i possibly get rid of this? i froze the system updates in titanium backup too. i figured installing this rom would get rid of that message for certain.

woops - nope i definitely no longer have root. titanium says i no longer have root access.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bbelos:
Let me clear this up. The SGS3 indeed has sperate partitions for kernel and recovery. CWM v4 is still using the original stock kernel binary. The recovery and boot kernels do not have to match. The kernel version you see under About device is the version of the boot kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
if you did the return to stock using this method then that is why the kernel dates are different. Adam used an updated image from what you had when the phone came out. Perhaps everyone who used his return to stock image has the june dated kernel. This is just a guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Odex is up now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] knives of ice:
flahed deodoxed in CWM and definitely have lost root. i wouldn't flash this if you want to keep root. goddamn.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Simply make a backup > download the rom of your choice [de]odexed > boot and wipe in recovery > flash in recovery.

I know if you flash the de-odexed version, you need to flash the 'root from recovery zip' again, and you're all good.

Coming soon threads get locked a lot because updates aren't posted.

I'm pretty sure his project is still in effect, he just ran into some hiccups in the development of the Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PatrickHuey:
Anyone try to flash this puppy over the stock rom without wiping data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmcmahon89:
Baseband didn't show LF9 after flashing deodexed clean
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChickenArise:
I flashed the Odexed version over stock rooted, wiped only cache/dalvik. Everything seems fine and updated. I had CWM v4 prior to flashing. I didn't need to re-root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] knives of ice:
i did no problems.

that being said you definitely need to reflash your root zips after flashing this which should definitely be mentioned in the first post
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
I think he fixed it with a new upload. I downloaded the deodexed version and that came with root access.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bambam126:
Hey where's s memo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Root is very funky on this phone. I'm not sure if it's CWM's fault or the version of busybox being installed. But sometimes it just doesn't install properly (busybox) and from that you don't get root. The root zips going around actually install busybox manually, symlinking every applet. While this is an okay method, I would prefer to have busybox install with the --install command. And it seems like that sometimes fails. I have been trying to solve it all day. Using busybox 1.19 works but apparently doesn't install the right applets to make SU actually work outside of adb. 1.20.1 that comes with the root.zip is the one that acts funky sometimes not even installing itself with the --install command. I assume that's maybe why they're doing it manually. I thought I had solved it yesterday because one of the times it did install correctly, I just figured it was fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tj.iscool:
I still got the annoying popup message saying update only this time is said

file downloaded but null, so I restored my nandbackup & back to where I was before SMH
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] knives of ice:
i think the problem arises with what root method you use. i used the very first root method out which has since been improved upon i guess by the CM team for this phone and the easiest root method i believe there thread title is.

if you used the first root method that was out it won't keep root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nck4857:
So is the odex version working here, or still issues? Just trying to decide if I should flash it or wait for more tweaking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tj.iscool:
what was wrong with it? I just did a restored nanbackup

cause I lost root & I was still getting the popup message to update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
It's working; just flash the root zip after you flash the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Just reflash the new root zip and you should be good.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, but I currently don't have a device and am looking for testers for some mods I am doing. I was wondering if anyone would like to test some stuff. If so PM me your gtalk.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PhantomHacker:
QB got a gs3? I need to hit him up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tj.iscool:
I did all the steps & still can't keep root

Update: I finally got root back I had to revert back to the old clockworkmod.tar

instead of using the new v4 one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Ian B:
Wiped dalvik and cache only, Flashed deodexed version rom and all is well while still have root.

Here is the link of my root method used:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726088

My cwm version is 5.5.0.4 as it shows bottom of recovery screen

All is well and is there anything else I need to do or know on this update.

My google wallet is not working and when I do the update it still does not work. No big deal as I don't care for it and your personal security is at higher risk when using a rooted phone for this type of application or banking applications.

Thanks for the great work. I am used to rooting and flashinG on my previous Epic galaxy S2 touch and normally would handle the ota through a rom zip update that I just flashed through recovery.

So made a quick theme with Semi Transparent Bar and some ICS icons lol

Works good on the Deodexed version lol If anyone wants to go give it a go let me know and Ill send you the files. I tried to make a flashable zip but I couldnt get the script working so I had to switch the new apks with the old original ones in the full rom with 7zip :D

Maybe i can get some answers here. Ive posted this question in the proper section but im not getting any responces so im going to ask here....cuz i want to flash this rom. Im trying to root my phone but i am having issues getting into download mode. Im holding volume down and power at the same time. The samsung screen pops up and then the samsung galaxy slll screen then it resets the phone like it should if you hold down power long enough. but no Download scrren. Am i doing this right? My ssgs2 went right into dl mode when i did this.

Which one did you guys flash over the rooted stock rom? Does it matter? I feel so lost. Its

Is there a way to update cwm to v4 directly from the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] runner77:
I don't think so. I still run Odin from my computer.

As soon as you see a blue blip in the upper left corner of the screen, let go of all three buttons. You will boot into recovery.

Does it matter if we have cwm v4 to flash this? I'm using whatever one was out when root came out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Devtodi:
You should definitely use v4. Many new tweaks worth having.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nck4857:
So I can flash v4 through Odin, wipe Cache, flash the odex version, flash the root zip (both through clockwork v4) and I should be good???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Yes sir, you've got it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Does anyone want to try installing the firmware with Odin?

I'm pretty sure you can click either the Bootloader or PDA section of Odin to install this.

I doubt there's anything that can go wrong. The worst thing that could happen is that it just doesn't take it. These are valid firmware files from the OTA.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Android Cowboy:
I'm rooted on v1 of CWM recovery. I tried to take the OTA update but it failed once it booted into custom recovery. Should I flash [de]odexed in OP and will it retain root? Or should I first update custom recovery to latest v4 then flash [de]odexed version. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PatrickHuey:
If you flash this rom then you don't have to worry about the update because it's included in this rom.

Which one of the methods in the OP do I use to both maintain root and get the full update, including kernels, etc?

Have read this thread twice now and I'm still confused.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Devtodi:
You get root after by flashing root-from-recovery v4 after Odining the CWM tar. But, before you boot after Odin, disable auto reboot in Odin and boot directly to recovery, then flash t-from-recovery v4. Check out TeamEpic's instructions.

I don't get this. Got rid of root CWM recovery.

System files say NORMAL and not MODIFIED.

Titanium backup still works which means I am still rooted.

I flashed the LF9 files from this thread and nothing happens.

Do I need to officially unroot somehow first or what?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eldobeldo:
Quick question. I really don't want to un– root to get OTA nor flash the update. Why just not wait for a ROM that will have the update cooked within it? Won't they all? Or do I have to update before starting to flash custom ROMs?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wramos93:
His from already has the update cooked in just flash whichever version you want (odex or deodexed) and then flash the firmware that he also uploaded through Odin with the PDA option

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

It doesn't work, I extracted it from another rom and installed it on this rom but it just force closes hopefully he fixes it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
I never used it but I did noticed when I was attempting to deodex my first stock rom it never showed up lol

I dont think S memo likes being deodexed lol you could try copying over the odexed version along with the odex file and see if that works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vadimr2:
so what do you need to do to get the baseband/radios? I actually tried to take OTA with CWM recovery and it failed and after that the phone won't prompt me to take the update no matter what I tried, any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
I completely "Unrooted" to take the official Sprint OTA update. Use an unroot method from the same team who created the Rooting Method. My 2 cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wramos93:
I believe I extracted it from an odex rom but I'm not sure so I'll give it another try. I copied over the smemo apk and smemo provider am I missing anything?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tj.iscool:
people actually use this app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] runner77:
What were the steps you took to re-root? Same as before the OTA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Trev186:
I want to flash this but have a couple of concerns

1. Whenever I try and do a nandroid backup it always says it failed cause it cannot find android secure

2. If I get the nandroid working can I flash this in cwm and then restore my data in cwm without issue ?

I tried to install the software update while rooted and it failed but ever since my connection has dropped from like 1 MB to 10 mbs...

Could failing the software update really impact my connection ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Maybe the corresponding .odex file too?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
Follow "qbking's" youtube video for unrooting.

I am going to remain "unrooted" for now. Development is still in its infancy and quite a bit of issues are still popping out, like the "Wallet" issue. The only thing I need to watch out for are the OTA updates that will make rooting difficult. By then I am hoping that there'll be enough custom roms that are more stable and complete.:fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Ian B:
Has anyone noticed that when you do a nandroid back up the date is all out of whack, it is not today's date?????

Thanks,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Ya its a a clockworkmod issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PatrickHuey:
so i guess here are my options. i am currently rooted running stock BEFORE the latest update. i can either

A. Flash the firmware through ODIN which does not give me the latest radios etc but the firmware and the update which fixes some issues (hopefully)

B. Flash the current odex/deoxeded rom with all the goodies and continue to update my phone through customs ROMS.

C. Flash the stock samsung recovery and use the OTA and THEN i would be able to reroot through ODIN and flash the root.zip/superuser etc.

does all that sound correct? the main reason i want to update so bad is simply because i cannot even get my NFC to turn on. i posted in other areas on this forum but no one else seems to be having the same problem. the only issue for people is wallet not working, whereas i cannot even turn my NFC to troubleshoot the damn thing, lol. everytime i click the NFC check box it simply turns on and then off and continues to stay grayed out. :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rdhddmazoku:
Lost root but still have CWM?

OK, having issues:

1. I downloaded the Stock Recovery

2. Used Odin with it on bootloader mode

3. Updated my phone and confirmed firmware update under about screen

4. Used Odin again with the new CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4, unchecked the automatic reboot, and ran under PDA

5. Booted into recovery and CWM is there

6. Flashed the TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v4.zip

However, Superuser isn't working. I tried uninstalling any update and flashing the Root zip again with no luck. What am I missing here? If I go into log for superuser it shows busybox free and superuser being denied.

It says Superuser v3.0.7(41)

Su binary v3.0.3.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
Did you lose NFC after you rooted?

You can try unrooting by following "QBKing77" YouTube video then take the OTA. My only issue as of now is WALLET like a bunch of other guys, including a lot of HTC EVO LTE guys.
