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

For people who do not want or cannot get the Auto Update versions you can download twrp touch from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 or CWM touch from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanagerand 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 professional 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 professional 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 email me at toolkit.support@skipsoft.net about them and do not post in the open thread]

So I used this to root a sprint s3 on 4.1.2 because it says its the same, so I used the 4.1.1 files and now no WiFi and get roaming message, any ideas how to get it back? Should I just flash a ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Flash a kernel to get your Wi-Fi back

Sent from my ANTHRAX sniffing GS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jason Roach:
OK thanks will try that soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Made a donation, still nothing on the updatable toolkit.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] doubledragon5:
Got mine figured out. Here is what to do Open toolkit choose no to check for update. At main page choose the sprint LBJ7 file and download it.. Next there will be all kinds of options.. choose option 26 then option 4 follow instruction and you will be all set.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
I hope I emailed the right place.. my activation code for donation did not work.. says invalid code with Toolkit 7.4.0. Secondly could you not have found faster servers? To download the zip file it's well over an hour for download :( Secondly my version is 4.1.2 but there is no 4.1.2 so is it going to work with the 4.1.1?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flawedlegacy:
I was able to download it in ~7-8 minutes... on work and personal pc at two locations. His end is fine for me

When you download the new version 4.1.2 shows. I did the same thing until I updated and saw it show up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
Yeah appears the problem was the first initial download for the phone type was not completed so it would not activate.. Once that download finished my activation code worked than my download for the update was a good 2MB/s.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thejron:
really wish i didn't have to download things i don't need just to activate. I'm getting 23k downloads off LAN and tethering off my phone. :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hubertkilgore:
Starting to feel ripped off

Few problems;

Once I donated the screen popped up with the instructions on how to activate my new features. I tried to follow them but could not get past the "pick build screen" because it would fail to find its source 1 or 2 and it would close out the toolkit. After doing this again and uninstalling and re-downloading and then finally getting frustrated I decided to look in the installation folder (yes I installed to root) and found the main menu short cut. I clicked on it and then went to tool kit settings I tried to enter my activation code but It told me it was invalid (I quadruple check and it was typed correctly). Eventually I found the "retrieve code" button on skipsoft.net and when I type in my email address it tells me I'm not in the system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Pneuma1985:
utter fail it bricked a device i was working on ...And I did everything properly and the device was connected properly and i selected the right build and all of that so no excuses in my mind.... Yeah I did follow the directions dude I've rooted a ton of devices including other galaxy s3's just never used this software I was trying to root a JZO54K 4.1.2 galaxy s3 i made the image everything went fine in odin then the phone didnt boot just shows a samsung thing then shuts off..I had all the proper things ticked in odin just refuses to boot itll go into download mode though not sure what to do with it from there...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] soundimpressions:
Sems like a lot of grief. I've used this software several times, and never had a problem. Slow down, and read the directions a couple times before you use it.

Broken Camera

I used your method to root the new Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3, Android version 4.1.2 and Model # SPH-L710. The root worked great with no issues however as soon as I rooted the phone the camera would no longer work.... nor would any torch or flashlight app that utilizes the camera flash. When I start the camera app it gives a pop-up that states in the title bar "Warning" and the text says "Camera failed" and all you can do is click OK then it goes away.

Now I have tried different 3rd party camera apps, I have tried 3 or 4 different ROM's as well as the stock ROM. I even took the phone back to radio shack got a brand new one and tried the steps again same result.

Please help b/c it looks like to me its either have root and no camera (-_-) or camera with no root (-_-)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nolimit06:
I've never had issues using his tools as I used the toolbox on my Nexus7 without issues. Try this root method and see how it goes for you. Since the Boost phones are the same as Sprint I don't see why it wouldn't work but then again I am not 100%. I am not responsible if anything happens ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flawedlegacy:
that is indeed odd... try an unroot and re-root. I've jacked up some roots (before this was discovered by myself) but cant recall ANY issues with this sucker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] armystrong:
Thanks for your help, I tried un-rooting then re-rooting but no luck the camera still failed. What I did to fix it was to root the GS3 like normal then install the "unrooted" kernel over the rooted ROM and the camera and root work. Pretty sweet, I wonder if another kernel will work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Note_2:
I'm trying to root my brother's sprint s3 on 4.1.2. There is no option for this. I know I have to update the toolkit, but I have no idea on how to update it. You say to flash the TWRP or CWM file from the toolkit but there is no option to do that in the toolkit. Another person here just went ahead and flashed it with the 4.1.1 version and their phone did not work completely so I am trying to avoid that. Thanks for any help any one can provide.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Use the root method found in my Sig... super simple with a video guide to boot... no offense to the maker of this toolkit but rooting this phone is very simple without it... you can also search root galaxy s3 on YouTube and look for the video by qbking77, goodluck :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Sent from my GS3 with a kernel you wish you had! :)

Will this toolkit work work the Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
I doubt it. However, if you know the model number you can compare it to the list in post #413 and see if it's there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sportsinger75:
Looks like it has the same model number of the Sprint GS3. I checked the settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
If the model number is the same as the Sprint then you should be able to root it with this program. However, wait for the developer of the program to give you a more solid response.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
The model number is indeed the same as US Sprint so I would say that the sprint selection should work fine.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n3td3v:
Okay, donated and hoped it would move me beyond the point where I am stuck, plus it was worth helping the dev for his awesome work. In short, I have two SPH-L710 devices that I used this toolkit on. The first device rooted and took TWRP as smooth as butter, along with any custom ROM that I threw at it (slimbean to be exact). The second device roots just fine, but will not for the life of me go past the ability of flashing CWM and/or TWRP. Either flashes successfully; however, I cannot get around nor past the 'error mounting sdcard', etc error messages, so I am not able to load a custom ROM or whatever. Anyone?

Also, on the second, problematic device, WiFi does not work. Any attempt to turn it on results in the message 'Turning on...' that never goes away while WiFi never turns on. And mobile data does in fact work during all of this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smith058:
I too have the same problem... cwm and twrp both fail at every option other than reboot... same problem on two phones.

both boost mobile SPH-L710

Firmware: 4.1.2

Build ID: JZ054K

Build PDA: L710VPAMD7

Successfuly rooted second phone with the toolkit and donated to get update so I could use sprint 4.1.2

I too could use some help on this matter :)

Ps. Wifi works for me but network mode (LTE/CDMA) does not work, network mode(CDMA) does work

Can someone take a look at this. New guy wants to know if he can use the toolkit to root & backup phone with no access to screen (touch/lcd not working), + additional questions but he can't post here yet. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43464866#post43464866

Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you don't support twrp 2.6 on this yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smith058:
If he has USB debugging on he can, it should work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Predator04:
still no support for 4.1.2? :crying:

nvm i donated but now i have to wait 4 hours for the download to comeplete before i can active it and then have to download the right version. servers are far to slow....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smith058:
i have boost mobile S3

i would like to give you the boot.img so you can add it to the toolkit for boost support, however in the toolkit instructions you ask for use to flash twrp to make a backup to send to you... for some reason i cannot get cwm or twrp to work, nothing mounts. i have this problem on three out of the box brand new phones... i was able to root one fine with the sprint 4.1.2 root options, but recovery is a no go on all three... so i have the newest phone with the stock boot (and stock everything else, with a stock sprint recovery)...

can i extract it with adb without root and send it to you? if so what is the command?

Unrooting question

ok.. I used this to root my S3 ..I have a update available for the S3.. so I went to unroot my phone did everything I was to do.. phone rebooted and I went to check the device status under setting still says modified..but root checker is saying I dont have SU... so am I unrooted or not ...Im flash to cricket also..any help is welcomed .. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] internetpilot:
I don't think this is necessarily a problem with the Toolkit. I used two other methods in attempt to root a brand new SG3 and no recovery (Any version of CWM and TWRP that I could get my hands on, and even the stock recovery from a couple different sources) will allow me to mount anything -- neither internal nor external SD. I finally used the Toolkit to ODIN stock recovery and that seems to be working now. I bought two SG3's for my sons, and as of right now they're both stock and not rooted because it doesn't appear that the newer SG3's can be rooted via these existing methods. I think something has changed.

Sorry I'm not of much actual help, but I can definitely confirm that custom recoveries not being able to mount anything is starting to become rather common.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sonnysonnyb:
i can confirm your issue..i bought a sprint gs3 several days ago running 4.1.2 out of the box..tried root from recovery many times but recovery would not mount my storage so i could flash the root zip..finally got ahold of a one click root i pushed with odin and got the phone rooted but recovery will not mount internal or external storage so im unable to flash anything..twrp or cwm usless on this new phone..i was hoping this toolkit would help but from what im reading here i guess not..cant find any threads on this new issue with the new phones so i guess im stuck with a stock rom for now..bummer

Any, gonna have to flash them and see how they run for you. I don't recommend roms or kernels to anybody because they will run differently for everyone depending on their usage and needs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] black2rob:
Yeah I talked to Max Lee (Zedomax) and he said that the newer S3's are not able to see the SD card/Internal and for right now there is not solution but at least we have root on a Stock Rom....... = )
