This method didn't work for you...

And you're on Android 4.1.2

Baseband is L710VPBMD4 and build number is JZO54K.L710VPBMD4?

Just curious because I was about to use this method for my friends Sprint S3 and this is his build info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GalaxyUser50:
Didn't use this for rooting. I manually flashed TWRP recovery and yes I'm on MD4. I was wondering if I had to unroot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
I have a Sprint S3...

Android 4.1.2

Build number JZO54K.L710VPBMD4

Which option?

It's not on the list at the moment.

Attempting to get root.

Any help is super appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Do a little searching, not only is there an easier way to root (IMO) this has also been covered in here multiple times... FYI, this toolkit will break your Wi-Fi if you use it to root until you either flash a new kernel or rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
Thanks for the info.

I'll see what I can find.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] internetpilot:
If you have one of the new batch of S3's you may need one of the new modified recoveries to be able to see any of the partitions and flash anything, including most of the other rooting methods.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
Thanks for the heads up.

I've found this:

http://www.technoanswer.com/steps-t...-sph-l710-on-vpbmd4-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/

I was hoping someone could confirm this method DOES work before I tried it. I'm weird about follow instructions on something that isn't necessarily part of a developer website.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjpdijkstra:
what build number?

I have trouble with your categories. jzo054k.i9300xxemh1 in option ella-emd3 or emr2- emra because emh1 falls in between!

The unified toolkit is great! It's a one stop shop for a lot of things I do with my phone. It makes backing up anything a breeze. The donation was worth the updated version, too. Thanks a million!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
No idea. Possibly because of the issues users were having? I really don't know. Try sending the developer a message and see if he responds.

Here's the answer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a_meleo:
What build to use?

Using the toolkit I cannot determine what build to use. I have a boost SPH-L710 with a build JZ054K.L710VPAMG2. I can find the JZ054K in the tool kit, but not for the SPH-L710 and not with the last digits. Any help on what build to try without bricking this phone?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ssconceptz:
Now I see the problem. Why should you be forced to donate to get an updated version that supports your firmware on your model. These toolkits are convenient however are not required to gain root etc. If you want to sell them then just host them somewhere and sell them which seems the route your going. Personally myself would never pay for something I could do myself but I would not hesitate to donate but I don't feel like requiring someone to donate is the way to go about it, it's just not good business. I know personally from creating themes you probably get hardly any donates and you feel all your hard work needs to generate some revenue and as I stated, if you want to sell the kit then just sell it, your user base will go down but you may be able to bring more money into the project. None of this is related to the fact you do great work but I do see where this can cause an issue. As a themer I would never force anyone to donate to get a theme, I do it because it's something I enjoy.

Sorry it has taken soo long to finish but im proud to release the updated Android Toolkit with added support for Samsung devices and new builds. I still have a few devices to add to the Toolkit [Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Samsung Galaxy Camera and Samsung Galaxy Gear] but the Toolkit now supports the following:

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Nexus 4

Nexus 5

Nexus 7 [2012]

Nexus 7 [2013]

Nexus 10

Samsung Galaxy S3

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

Samsung Galaxy S4 [NEW SUPPORTED DEVICE]

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Supported devices and latest supported builds *HERE*

ChangeLog

Unified Android ToolKit v1.2.4 [Galaxy S3 V8.0.0] 10th March 2014

+Added support for Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini,*Samsung Galaxy S4 and*Samsung Galaxy Note 2

+Updated support for latest builds in all device modules

+Root options support insecure boot and custom recovery methods [all rewritten]

+Added KNOX notification disabler for Samsung modules

+Added Root Checker to check the status of your root/busybox

+Added more help screens to the Information section and added ability to save screen and send to default printer

+Added philz_touch Advanced cwm recovery to Samsung modules [will be added to Nexus modules soon]

+Added option in build selection screen to disable all adb root functions [custom recovery functions available]

+Toolkit will disable insecure boot functions if insecure boot image not available

+Updated Samsung drivers to 1.5.33.0

+Re-wrote most of the code to Change the way lots of functions work [more efficient and more stable]

+Many more changes I can't think of right now

Existing activation codes will still work to update device modules in the Unified Android Toolkit to the pro version of the device you donated to. I am updating the Auto Updates for the newly supported devices but it's probably easier to download the full version and re-activate as it is such a big update.

If you have any feedback please send it to markskippen@gmail.com for now as emails to toolkit.support@skipsoft.net are still not coming through to me.

Hope you enjoy.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RTWright:
@mskip

Question for you kind sir. I've ran into a bit of a problem, I'm wondering if your Toolkit has access to the ND8 update for the 32GB version of the Sprint GS3? Reason is, the Odin version that was posted here didn't say that it was from the 16GB, so when I updated to it through this means it formatted my 32GB down to 16GB. I'm hoping that the 32GB version of the Odin Tar file would restore my system back to normal ( Not sure if it can or not but worth asking ). I cannot go back to a 4.3 stock because of Knox ( *shakes fist at Samsung and gives the bird as well* ), so I'm stuck right now with half my storage gone and just trying to research ways of repairing what I've done.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
If you can find a version of the 32gb nd8 update use that in odin, find the correct pit file for your version of phone and check repartition in odin, that should get you back up and running
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RTWright:
Yeah it's just finding the 32GB ND8 that's the problem so far. I've looked everywhere... :\
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Yep, I'm sure it'll appear eventually though, just keep an eye out for it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If we find or knew someone with the 32GB who is on stock and takes the OTA...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gearmaker:
I might be wrong but I think the Odin ND8 update tar is for both the 16g and 32g. I have the SHP-L710 32g version and had to do this as well.

All you need is the ND8 tar AND the 32g pit file and flash in odin.Here is the one I used. Hope this gets you going, My phone was even flashed to

Page+ and after odin update and re-partition all was still well.

Hello Mark,

I have a stock GS3 upgraded to official Sprint NJ2; last one available. Does the toolkit support this?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
I havent seen the US Cellular variant out yet and need a stock rom to root it but its in the current list of models to be added so as soon as I get it I will push it out via Auto Update with a full download out shortly afterwards.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
It can perform a NANDroid backup but you need to be rooted with busybox so it wouldnt give you a full stock backup. You can flash CWM which will give you more of a stock backup apart from the custom Recovery. Failing that there are stock firmwares available online to flash back to full stock via Odin. Either way your flash counter will be increased so you will lose warranty (until a flash counter reset can be made).

UPDATE TO GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT [SNAPDRAGON EDITION]

ChangeLog

ToolKit v2.0 (18th July 2012)

+Added CWM Touch + TWRP Recovery images

+Added Canada variants to ToolKit support list

+Updated Superuser files to 3.1.3 from ChainsDD

+Added NEW Auto Update feature on startup (Donators Only Feature)

+Added NEW feature to convert image files to an Odin flash compatible tar file (1-click process)

+ALLINONE rooting option will create tar file from boot and recovery imgs to save download size

+Added Reboot to Download and Start Odin in the Reboot Phone Options screen

+Added Adb reset on startup for stability

+Added cache image dump to backup options

+Added more instructions for installing drivers

+Re-Wrote push routine to make it work better

+Added Developers Section with Cache Ripper from Adam Lange for starters (more to come)

+Re-Wrote ALOT of code in the ToolKit to make it work better

ModsSection v2.0 (18th July 2012)

+Disabled Mods that soft bricked the phone

+Updated some code

Ok some great new features have been added in this version and the Snapdragon Edition gets them first. As well as adding all the Canadian variants to the supported list and various other feature there are 2 new features I want to highlight.

I have added a NEW Auto Update feature which will check your current version against the version number on my server and if there is a newer version you will be offered an imediate update through the ToolKit. Only updated files will be downloaded so updates are much smaller and I can push features or fixes straight away that I would normally save for a full version. This is a donator feature as it is costing me money to enable this so if you havent donated I would recommend it for this feature :)

I have also added a nice feature for people wanting to flash img files. Currently you have to either use a linux emulator or cygwin to convert img files to a tarball for flashing via Odin but now you can do it with 1-Click using option 9 in the ToolKit.

Donators will be sent out information on how to Activate the Donators Version.

To the Japan SC-06D sorry I didnt have time to add support in this version but I will push an update to support your models in the next day through the Auto update feature and will update the full ToolKit in the next week.

As usual download links in the first post.

Enjoy :)

I trashed my Evo 4G last night and bought the Galaxy SIII this morning. And BRICKED IT using the international version, i guess i didnt read the links right. This not only fixed it but then rooted it correctly and Im back in business.

You are amazing! Thanks! I bought you a pint (I hope).

if locked on Os start, dont panic

i used this to reflash to stock after trying the Cmod10 jellybean on a gs3 and i got stuck @ the Samsung loading screen for about 15/20 minutes. if you cant get pass this just reboot into recovery mode (home+vol.up+power) and do factory reset and cache wipe. this seems to do the trick.

Thank you so much. As far as I'm aware, the firmware hasn't come across samsung-update yet, but lets hope samsung will be somewhat expediant as the other variants are all out already.

Look for a donation this friday. I checked out the sprint version as a prescreen. I think the toolkit is feature intensive, which is always a plus. If there's any help I can offer having the d2usc, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm mid-level android/linux familiar.

UPDATE TO S3 TOOLKIT [SNAPDRAGON EDITION]

ChangeLog

ToolKit v2.1 (20th July 2012)

+Fixed a possible crash scenario during the Auto Update check

+Added CacheRipper app as I forgot to include it in V2.0

+Fixed a few small bugs in the Tar Create routine

+Tidying up bits of code

This update was mainly to fix a potential crash if the update server is going slow and the update file cannot be download which would result in the ToolKit closing.

Anyone with V2.0 please update to this version (V2.1).

The next minor update will probably be through the Auto Update feature ;)

Enjoy.

Install Android System Update???

Hey mskip....

Greeting from Phoenix!

Thanx for all ur hard work on the toolkit. I just got my new S3 after dumping the Evo3D...(ugh)

Love this device, but ever since activating it I get the

Install Android System Update

(see screenshot) constantly. Taking heed from my Evo days....I know never to take any OTA updates being rooted. Still getting this after using the All in One root, CWM, etc....from the Toolkit.

Question is...does this, will this affect root or anything that was done from using the Toolkit?

Look forward to ur response because this thing is annoying....lol.

Cheers,

Zagman
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
A bit confused here...

I've used your toolkit since version 2.0...

However now I have TWO different folders installed on my PC...

Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit

Samsung Galaxy S3 QCom ToolKit

I'm guessing you changed the name along the way somewhere and didn't mention that, nor have it auto uninstall the previous version.

Or is the QCom version a mistake and should not be used for Sprint? Or did the name simply change and QCom is the correct one to use?

Also.. your auto-updater within the app always gives me a "file not found" error when searching your servers..

Is that expected behaviour when there is no update to be had? or does an update exist and it simply is unable to locate it? (No version has ever been able to find an update on my PC even when I had 2.1 and tried to update to this version).

I just end up getting the full install from here each time so it's no big deal... but it'd be nice if it worked (or if I knew if that was the right outcome at least).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] droidroidz:
Thank you much for showing USCC some love!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RandoStRand:
the folder without "qcom" in the title is simply from an earlier version of the toolkit. it's safe to delete.

Also, mskip mentioned that his update servers were down indefinitely until he gets them fixed.

OTA updates will usually break root but im not so sure about the Snapdragon version. If root is lost it is easy to just re-root using the toolkit. Just make sure you have a Stock Recovery on your phone before updating or it will fail.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caffeiNater:
This looks like a great tool, but I'm embarrassingly stuck trying to verify my device after installing the drivers. Windows recognizes the phone after the driver installation because the right toolbar message bubbles pop up, plus I can navigate to my phone in My Computer. But the serial number does not display under "List of devices attached" and I get the same result (blank) when running "adb devices" in a command prompt. Yes, USB Debugging is checked. I have rebooted both my computer and phone with no improvement. I've exited my antivirus and antimalware programs too.

I have rooted three other android phones previously via various methods, but those were on another computer that I no longer have. I'm currently working with my desktop which runs Windows XP 64-bit. I've never used this pc for any android work previously, so it's possible there's an issue here not related to the phone. But my google searches are not getting me anywhere. Anyone have ideas/suggestions?
