I am experiencing this same issue. I am on Windows 7 Enterprise, ran it as an administrator, disabled firewall etc. I am also selecting option 62 for 4.1.1 (though I technically will want the pending JRO03L UVDLJC build for T-Mobile.)

Can we download and place the needed files appropriately to bypass this check and continue using the tools?

Thanks!

EDIT: Fixed. Tested with the public network and it connected to the download flawlessly. Must be our network firewall here at work. :) Thanks for an awesome tool!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bretticus:
Thankyou for this awesome tool i only ran into 1 problem and that was with odin when it auto ran it didnt detect my phone so i have to clsoe odin and go find the exe in the install folder and run it again but the problem was just because of windows uac after that it worked perfectly maybe need to maker it ask for admin privileges before running and i am on an admin account on my laptop.

Thankyou again for an awesome and easy to use tool alot easier that rooting my last phone (HTC Sensation) lol :laugh:

I also lost my WIFI and BLUETOOTH

I also lost my WIFI and BLUETOOTH. In an earlier post you said, "In this case you can use the boot image to root or perform adb root functions but will need to flash back the boot image for the custom rom to get other functions working again." I don't know what this means. How do I do this?

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. The problem looks to be on goo.im though, so I don't think there's much that can be done about it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] YourWorstPoison:
I tried rooting but i can't get into the recovery. It just keeps putting me back into the stock recovery but everything boots up fine. I know I've done it before but can't remember how. Any help please?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: reboot recovery

Go to the play store and download/install "GooManager". (free app)

Once it's downloaded open it and click the menu key on the phone.

Select "Install OpenRecoveryScript"

Then follow the prompt in goomanager and

wait until it gets done. You will see tiny

text on the bottom of the screen saying

"Successful" when it's done flashing.

After that select the "reboot recovery"

option in goomanager and it will reboot

your phone into TWRP recovery.

It's really that easy.

Good Luck!

Will this tool work with her build number? let me know as I don't want to risk it if it won't work. thanks so much for the info.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mskip:
So you flash custom recovery, odin completes and reboots the device, then you try to boot into recovery and get the stock recovery screen?

Sounds like you have the recovery restore files present on your system that reflash stock recovery on reboot. You need to use the insecure root method to root and rename the files or flash custom recovery via odin, then pull the battery as soon as the device reboots, replace it and use volume up, home, power buttons to boot into custom recovery.

I updated the model files last night and left an image out that I thought wasnt needed. Unfortunately it is needed by public build users so I added it back this morning. If you run the Toolkit and download the model file again it should work fine now.

Hello all. If someone could PM me the answer as well I would appreciate it.

I was using this to root my gf's Tmobile S-3. I'm not familiar with the Samsung rooting process so I tried to follow everything exactly.

After the boot.img was flashed the phone would not turn back on. I reset it, pulled battery, and the Samsung logo will flash for half a second then shut off.

I used the SGH 999? I think for the SGH 989 quite possibly. I thought she was on 4.0.4, but knowing her she probably never updated and was on 4.0.3.

Any assistance and I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: flashes

Perhaps your battery is almost dead and needs a charge.

In any case you forgot to mention whether the phone will

go into download mode or not, if it will it's an easy fix.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trekie4ever:
Sorry, no download mode. No anything. Won't even go to the charging screen... 'hard' bricked yay. *hunches over and walks back muttering to my razr maxx*

i'm guessing jtag is my only fix. I'm short on cash, and it's my gf's phone.

Edit: I'm a frakin idiot. She has the S-2 not the S-3. Yah hard bricked yay. SGH T989 (S2) not T999 (which I guess is the S3)

Some trouble discovered...

When I try to flash boot-insecure-dlja-SGHT999.tar or boot-insecure-dlja-recovery-SGHT999.tar, my stock ROM has a problem. It doesn't turn Wi-Fi...

Found the way it works.

I had to flash recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.3-SGHT999.tar and install SU/busybox thru ADB...

Just my 2 cents...

Any way, I love yr work, Mark. I donated for Nexus 7 one, and will donate for this one either.

Thanks a lot!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: new 4.1.2 rooted rom

Here is the pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.2 rom: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22946563261203914

Just flash it using CWM or TWRP

Be sure to do a full wipe/factory reset before you flash.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] meltedmoops999:
I haven't rooted it yet. It's stock. Its my girlfriend's and I want to root it. Anyway I can go about this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: odin flash

Follow the instructions below first then after it's done flash the pre-rooted cwm flashable Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 v4.1.2 rom.

Easy and sure way to root your phone - Here is s step by step guide:

Download the stock-rooted Odin flash Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.2 T999 firmware v4.1.2 rom: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22946563261203914

After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.

Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14

Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)

Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin

Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted

Turn off your phone and boot into

DOWNLOAD MODE

(Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)

Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.

You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)

Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.

Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)

Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.

TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.

If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.

Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!

Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.

You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.

Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!

(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] meltedmoops999:
Thank you. I have two more questions:

1.Are there different mirrors for these two ROMs? These are taking 3 hours to download and I don't have bad internet service.

2. Why do I need to flash the pre-rooted ROM after I root it? Can't I just go ahead and flash any ROM (paranoid android for example)?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: roms

I have no idea about mirrors, and I downloaded the new T999 4.1.2 pre-rooted firmware from same link as I gave you.

It took me less than 20 minutes to download.

The pre-rooted Odin flash rom is version 4.1.1 Jellybean T999 firmware.

Once you have that flashed you can flash any rom in cwm or twrp.

As you were saying you are not rooted, if your not rooted you cannot flash

the new T999 version 4.1.2 rooted cwm/twrp flashable rom or any other rom

which requires CWM/TWRP recovery.

So step one is to get your phone rooted, step two is to cwm/twrp flash to the newest T999 rooted rom.

There are many other ways to root your phone with the existing rom you have on it now.

However I found that it's so much easier to simply odin flash a rooted rom instead of

trying this and trying that and still the phone is not rooted.

That's why I suggest to follow the step by step instructions, by doing

that your phone will be rooted and will be ready to flash any cwm/twrp

T999 zip file roms including this new T999 4.1.2 version.

Good luck!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djanness:
I think he means that the pre-rooted rom is for those who want the stock experience still but want to have the latest rooted OTA available ROM.

Such as myself I like stock. I don't know anyone (including myself), who has had a ROM installed that was modified somethings not going to work, and there's no such thing as stable lol. don't get me wrong I LOVE ROMS but I always go back to stock rooted ( I only want root because I love me some Google wallet).

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Try this rom: http://d-h.st/Arn

I don't know about other mirrors for this rom.

Flash it with Odin like you flashed the other rom.

This one just came out a day or two ago, it's the pre-rooted stock T999 Galaxy S3 4.1.2 Jellybean root66_TMO_T999UVDMD5 rom.

I flashed it myself yesterday and it's 100% working properly.

After you flash this you will be rooted and will not need to flash anything else unless you want to flash a custom rom.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] meltedmoops999:
Okay! It worked! I think the reason was because you gave me the 4.1.1 root .tar to flash in Odin but I needed the 4.1.2 root .tar because I already had the update. I thought she was a goner. Thanks for the help! :D

hi,

i am using windmobile sgs3, rooted and was running slimbean build 5. i want to return to stock so i use the toolkit to download the stock image (option 62 for jb version). i got the 'pass' notification on odin and the phone rebooted but stuck at samsung screen.i also got the warning that the driver installation is unsuccessful. i tried using ics version (option 61 in the toolkit) but i got the same result. I haven't tried tmobile stock roms (option 52 for jb and option 51 for ics) but i doubt that is going to be different. i have not flash the reset counter yet since it needs to be done on stock rom. any idea? thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: stuck

There is a 50/50 chance that if you reboot the phone into recovery (I know you only have stock recovery right now)

but I am almost sure that the stock recovery has option for "Factory Reset" and if you can do the factory reset in

recovery there is an good chance it will reboot normally.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hakim7489:
it works like a charm! though i have to enter recovery through the toolkit and not using the button combo. thanks!
