Are the root and recovery fiels being extracted into the relevant folders in the toolkit folder? The recovery folder image you posted worries me as it should also contain cwm and twrp recovery tar files for all the models. What is the exact locations of the 2 folders that you posted?

An easy fix is to download the zip file manually from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/toolkit/samsung_galaxy_s3/model_files/SPH-L710.zip then extract the 2 folders into the correct location in the Toolkit. The files inside the recovery folder want to go into the Toolkit\recovery folder and the folder (SPH-L710) inside the root folder wants to go into the root folder. Copy the whole folder SPH-L710 including contents. The Toolkit should then recognise the files and proceed to the Main Menu.

Also I noticed that the zip file was being downloaded from the skipsoft mirror. Did it not find the primary download site (goo.im) when trying to download the zip file?

SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V7.3.2 [18TH MAR 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Added support for INTERNATIONAL MODEL GSM [GT-I9300] 4.1.2 EMB5 Build

+Added support for VERIZON MODEL [SGH-I535] 4.1.2 BMB1 Build

+Updated CWM Touch Recovery [6.0.2.8] and [6.0.2.9] for GT-I9305 Model

+Updated TWRP Touch Recovery for all models to latest version [2.4.4.0]

+Updated procedures in Toolkit and improved text where needed

If you have any confusion over supported builds please read the HELP screen which you can get to from the Model Selection Screen.

To add support for 4.1.2 for your model/build please do the following:

NOTE: Stock boot images from Stock builds or OTA updates ONLY are needed to add support to the Toolkit. Do not send in boot images from custom builds. If you have rooted via custom recovery zip file the boot image will still be stock and fine to use but if you have rooted by flashing an insecure boot image please do not send anything as the file will be incorrect.

1. On the Model Selection screen enter any number for your model

2. In the Main Menu select option 5 and flash TWRP Recovery

3. Reboot to Recovery using the Reboot Device Options section

4. Select 'Backup' from the menu in TWRP Recovery

5. Untick everything except 'Boot' and swipe at the bottom to make a backup

6. Reboot the system back into Android

7. Copy the boot.emmc.win file from sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS to your pc

8. Email the file to firmware.support@skipsoft.net with the full model/build number

Support will then be added and pushed as an update as soon as possible

For people who do not want or cannot get the Auto Update versions you can download twrp touch from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/recovery/samsung_galaxy_s3 and flash it via the Toolkit. SuperSU can be updated to the latest version from the app.

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the donator features. Auto Updates are a much faster and easier way of pushing small updates that would otherwise not be worth doing. I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other donator features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it. This is the easiest way to make sure all the Toolkits are as up to date as possible. IF you have any views about this please pm me about them and do not post in the open thread]

The screenshot of the folders is a result of what I got from the screenshot of the toolkit that I posted. I noticed that since I have used the toolkit, it has never been able to connect to source 1, and always connects to the skipsoft mirror. The location of the files that I posted is C:\Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit\SPH-L710.zip

The screenshots represent the 2 folders inside the zip file. I will try your solution here and let you know what I come up with.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Lo and behold, I decided to try one more time before I tried the alternate method, and it connected to source 1, downloaded, and correctly extracted the needed files with no errors....now I can go back to 4.1.2 and continue. Thanks again for your time, help, and responses.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Glad it all worked out :)

Weird that you had trouble connecting to goo.im in the past though.

Didn't know that was where it was trying to point...I know I had been trying for at least 2 days...But I also noticed, at a separate time and for a different reason, that I could not access goo.im directly this past weekend either.

Re: [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [

We did an all in one root from the donate version of the toolkit on my dads sg3 sprint today, he wanted hotspot tether. He doesn't want other roms or anything. After the root in insecure, are we supposed to flash back the stock Rom , the last option in the toolkit root section?

Can't connect to wifi after rooting with custom recovery (galaxy s3 sprint)

SuperSU Binary Fail

I have searched this thread and didn't see an answer to my problem, I used Toolkit 7.3.2 to root my Sprint L710 Build BLJ7, I used option 3 in the rooting menu, now to my problem, when I click SuperSU on the app drawer it says that the SU binary needs to be updated, I click continue then click normal to update it always fails and when I try TWRP it never completes. SuperSu does work except cannot do the binary update. Is the a fix for this? Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
Have you tried to uninstall SuperSU and then re-download it from the Play Store?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] homeland:
Thats on the front page.. I just rooted the phone for the first time, have the same issue as you, and don't know what the heck all that means. Is it saying you need to reflash a stock rom to get wifi working again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcx6:
Yes I have and still will not update binary, thank you for your reply.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] corkythetard:
Did you flash a recovery? Nandroid back up? Rooting it shouldn't have killed your wifi toggle. Have you tried flashing a custom rom to see if it fixes it?

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Do you have superuser installed as well as SuperSU? May seem like a dumb question, but there's a method to my madness.

I am asking because I ran the tool kit on my friend's sprint s3 and everything went swimmingly. Rooted, installed busy box, supersu, and CWM. Then flashed latest m2 release of CM and gapps with zero issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcx6:
I only have SuperSU installed, everything work programs asks to allow root and it does, just cannot update the binary. I believe the only difference is that I am using TWRP recovery. Thanks for your reply.

No problemo! Just trying to help.

Seeking to root my wife's Sprint GS3 using this toolkit. I rooted my Note 2 with Mskip's toolkit no issues at all, so I'll like to also use his toolkit for the GS3. Except I read that it may or may not work on 4.1.2

Here are my details:

Android 4.1.2

Baseband L710VPBMB1

Build: JZO54K.L710VPBMB1

Hardware: L710.14

I'll gladly donate if the updated version is needed to perform this root. Can someone confirm if the updated version can perform root successfully?

Can't take any chances with may or may not work, you know?

Re: [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [

The snapdragon tool kit, free version, works fine. I rooted, flashed cwm touch, and latest cm 10.1 m release on my friends Sprint s3. He had 4.1.2 as well. I used the 4.1.1 option and no issues whatsoever. To be on the safe side you should kick the dev a token of appreciation, though. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] haloseven:
Re: [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [

Is it really too hard to donate $2 or more for a program that deserves it? He doesn't require a large donation to get the app. Worth the $5 I pitched him for sure
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Newbie_from_NJ:
Re: [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [

Snapdragon tool kit?

Like I said before, it's not about $... I've already donated to the Note 2 toolkit. I'll gladly donate to whatever cause gets the GS3 4.1.2. rooted... just point me to the right direction.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] corkythetard:
Download from the OP. The free version worked for me on my friend's s3. I donated what I could afford for the extras that the free version does not give for myself.

Now that I have everything on my phone fixed is their a way with this kit to back up a stock image? That way if I have an issue with a flashed rom I can just plug my phone into my PC use the toolkit to flash a backup I made. If their is I'm over looking it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] corkythetard:
There's one there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Newbie_from_NJ:
Just wanted to 100% confirm for future newbies... that the donator version of the toolkit does contain an update that includes roots option for above. GS3 was rooted in under 10 minutes with no issues whatsoever, as I am very familiar with the process. Thanks Mskip!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SITH16:
I just did mine this morning and I had that same issue...I simply forgot the network rebooted the phone and allowed it to scan for new networks again...when it discovered the network, I connected to it, and boom...wifi was fine. Something in the root might corrupt the saved networks so it doesn't connect I guess.

Btw, great little tool...I had to play with it for a min to get used to it, but it worked and now I'm rooted stock...Not sure if I want to go off that at all but hey, I'm rooted. =)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skeptikal:
You would have to be able to turn on wifi to forget the network and reconnect. My wifi will not turn on at all either. I've been too lazy to figure out why so far. I'll do some reading and post my findings if there are any.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] atreyu954:
I just flashed mine with the 4.1.1 and now my wifi doesn't turn on either. Kind of important to me considering at work I'm virtually in a sealed room and wifi is all that's available. Any ideas from anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skeptikal:
I still have not had a chance to figure out why it's not working on mine. Please post if you find something. I will do the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skeptikal:
Ok so I stole some time at work and got it sorted out. In the 7.0.0 version of this software the Sprint 4.1.2 build is not an option. So, I took the advice of another poster here and just used the 4.1.1 build as he mentioned it would work. And, it did... but, in the process it also broke wifi. So, I donated, which i have been meaning to do anyway, and used the autoupdate to upgrade from 7.0 to v7.3.2. Once upgraded the 4.1.2 version is available under Sprint. I chose that and did the all-in-one option and wifi is back.

Thank mskip. This tool is awesome. Sorry i couldn't donate a lot more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CrimSin:
Just donated. If my auto update is going at 15-30 kBps do you reckon it's a problem on my end or is that just how the server is?

Edit: Tethered off of Sprint LTE and it worked fine. Not sure why my home IP was giving me trouble :S

Read the first page and exclude the ToolKit from your Antivirus program.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thistleknot:
yeah, still no root, I check with superuser as well as setcpu

so...

does it matter if I use your tool vs just the odin tool?

I can get it into cwm (only if I don't let it auto reboot). Once I'm not in the 3e bootloader, I can then flash the 3.0.7, but it's a no go.

Update

I got it working.

I dunno know if I was using the right 3.0.7

I just opened odin (yours vs another kit), and opened the right file, disabled autoreboot, turned it off, turned it on to getinto bootloader, applied, and voila. Good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
It doesnt really matter the ToolKit just automates most of the process. Your Rom must have the recovery restore files included which re-flashes the stock recovery every time you boot your phone.

After you flash 3.0.7 do you see the superuser app in the apps drawer? If so can you open it?

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sidiasus:
Incredible Work

Fantastic work, putting this together.

I remember the days where rooting your device meant downgrading your firmware by hand, and utilizing the crappy android toolbox (e.g. no "cp" binary, had to cat files from one location to another). It boggles my mind just how simple it has become for the end user to root their device, and that is due to the efforts of people like you.

Cheers, and keep up the great work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Weird, I was in the middle of rebooting (still the sprint logo sound) and happened to click on the Odin window in windows (to move it), the moment i 'clicked' it, it seemed to refresh the "Reset" window and showed "Pass". I believe perhaps that the reboot wasn't necessary as it hadn't even gotten to the android OS yet.. but instead I think Odin just doesn't update it's screen till it has windows focus...

Since mine's already done , not sure if i can prove this myself... perhaps others who sit on "Reset" can click the Odin app in windows and see if it refreshes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FiFTYSiX:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thistleknot:

I don't know if you saw my update (about 2-3 posts up). I got it working, tanks. I tink I was using the old 3.0.7 the second time (I think I flashed from internal memory vs ext card, which threw me off)

This toolkit works perfect! Thank you !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidLover813:
Thank you for the great instructions

I just needed to say thanks. The way this toolkit is put together is very informational and for the people who don't get it well I wish you alot of luck. I was pretty nervous to flash this thing because I never owned something so beautifully made and was afraid of messing it up. But I got my balls back from my girl and went ahead and flash it. It went well and I made a video of the process but it came out shaky. It was scary but I now got Root and CWM Recovery :victory: :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
If you want to use the TooKit then you can run it under a Windows emulator such as WineHQ. If you dont then I think you can flash the CWM Recovery tar file via Heimdall on mac, then copy the cwm zip in the root folder and flash it via recovery to root.

I can also tell you that if you just wait a little while, and you have the green box and reset box is green, in 3-5 minutes it will automgically change to pass....if you wait, and don't jack with anything. This is true for almost any first run/flash/boot....be Patient, and let the Android gods work their juju. This tool works flawlessly! Also, don't integrate updates into the stock, or stockish ROM's....seems to bork into bootloop. Again, patience until the devs get all the variants/variables worked out.:good:

Won't boot

So. As awesome as this process is ... I found a way to screw it up- clearly. I went through and installed the drivers and saw the SN. It started ODIN up and I selected the PDA file and the 2 ticks as expected. I read through the screen and it stated CLOSE ODIN to keep going. I fear that I closed ODIN too soon and now my phone won't boot ... I get a vibrate and a SAMSUNG splash (white letters on black background) and I can't seem to get it into DL mode nor anything else.

I also pulled the battery ... and I also let it sit for about 5 minutes. Starting to sweat ... any tips (I did serach already ... earlier challenges seem to be a little different)

Greg

_____________________________________________

__________________________________________________

So, I am able to get into download mode ... and i can ODIN to the point that it RESET - and then it reboots ... and I WAIT ... and it goes to PASS. I am using the C:\Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit\root\boot-insecure-xxale8-cwmtouch-gsm.tar file.

Ok, in ODIN - I am looking at the GREEN PASS. I guess I just wait? I have no idea what to do now. I'm off track and I'm a like a boat ... with out a rudder.

I can't get it to boot at all ... it will go into DL mode ... in which I can ODIN all the way to pass ... it then "resets" and does nothing. I also cannot get into RECOVERY. It buzzes. I'm scared captain.

So, I'm now using ODIN to flash the CMW since I think I'm going ot have to do this manually - wonder if that's what I need to do? IT JUST SAID PASS. Let's see.

Nope. I'm screwed. I have no idea what to do now.

_________________________________--

So, I went over to the CyanogenMod site and downloaded the CWM file there and flashed that ... NOW, i'm finally in CWM. So, I think I'm wokring thorugh this slowly but surely. I have no idea what I did wrong - aside from not having my ducks in a row.

Ok guys and girls...I too was having the same problem with wifi being borked after successful root...I unrooted and tried again, same result...I also tried to factory reset hoping that it would work, and it did not...so acting out of impatience...I tried rooting the 4.04 method...and now I'm bricked...I have seen unbricking threads when trying to flash intl, but that wasn't my problem. Can anyone point me to the right thread to unbrick or even using ODIN to go back to stock, whatever would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The device is softbricked, as I can still get to download mode...however...it flashes on the screen and then shuts off again.
