Awesome work, I rooted using another link and it worked for about three weeks then after several reboots I lost it. I guess the reset scripts kicked in and then I started getting horrible service. About 1 in every 3 phone calls was good. I was really getting frustrated. After running through this though, I now have root back and the first three calls I made were all good. Just donated a little something in gratitude.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Uncensored:
This is awesome. Mucho Gracias!!

reset flash counter and "sounds like your under water"

Version 2.3 says it will reset the flash counter but mine still shows 7. I have been through every prompt and cannot and how to do it.

Also, about every third call one of the parties sounds like your talking under water. Either I can't hear them or they cant hear me and we have to call back. Even after three times we still can't understand each other. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. We have two other S3s which aren't rooted and they don't have this problem. Just wondering if sprint is doing something because of the flash counter.

Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

As an update, I borrowed a Windows 7 laptop and was able to install the drivers and use the toolkit to root my device without issues. So I'm assuming it is a driver compatibility issue with Windows XP 64-bit, as I googled and found similar discussions regarding other devices, although not the SGS3.

Thanks for this great toolkit!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Have you tried flashing back a stock firmware and wiping the device to see if that fixes your sound problems.

Hi Mark,

I love the toolkit! Its made things so easy... so much so, that I had to donate! I haven't received the code to unlock DONATE mode though. My confirmation number is: 12649648NH393220U.

Thank you!

So the new android system update is on my phone waiting for me to do something. I noticed a lot of service issues yesterday (Not anything to do with this extremely simple root), and that is the first time I have experienced any of the so called service or connectivity issues with the G S3. I was in an area not in the city, and not everyone else had service, so I'm not worried about it. Enough rambling. I assume this is Jellybean, do you know if I can re-root with this outstanding tool if I do the update? I'm hoping it will improve my service. Where I work is sketchy at best, and any improvement would be great. Thanks again, I'm glad I donated!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] soundimpressions:
I had the same issue. I used OTA rootkeeper to temp-unroot and tried again, but it won't find the update anymore. LOL

I hope this isn't TOO stupid of a question, but does this work for Verizon at all? And if not, are you planning on making it work for Verizon at all? I also wanted to say that I used this yesterday to help my friend with the Sprint S3 root his phone and it worked amazingly - excellent work on this toolkit, and as soon as I get paid in a few days, you definitely can expect a donation from me - keep up the fantastic work.

I'm on stock with no root with the Sprint GS3. I already have the drivers installed and have Odin as well. Once I download Snapdragon what do I do? I've tried getting it started with the green and black screen but I don't know what to do. May seem like a stupid question but....I've read the OP a few times and don't know what I did wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
You didnt state the most important thing.. what exactly do you want to do? :)

If you already have drivers installed and just want root then select option 2 from the Model Selection screen, option 2 from the Main Menu and then select from options 1, 2 or 3 depending on what you want.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
The main screen isn't even coming up. I dont know what I'm doing wrong. What do I need to do to get to the main screen? I downloaded Snapdragon, right clicked and ran the administrator and it didn't come up. Couldn't get to the main screen, I'm kinda lost.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stealth-twinturbo:
I ran root option number 4,

I got to ODIN it said RESET in blue, once i got there the phone reset into bootloader mode, and then the program said to install from SD card internal storage.

However there is not option that allows me to select install from internal storage. Just wipe, install from cache, install from EXTERNAL storage.

Can I just flash CWM at this point?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NYCHitman1:
The option you were looking for was likely the ALL-IN-ONE, which comes with root, CWM, and busybox. In any case, you should be able to at least attempt to flash CWM via toolkit.

The server is acting really flaky on this download. Does anyone have the newest toolkit in their dropbox that they wouldnt mind linking to me for a download?

EDIT : Got it. I dont know why it was acting weird...It'd go really fast, then slow down, then go fast. But whatever, the second time it went through.

Question, is this ok to use on all builds? I am coming from HTC and have never owned a Samsung device so ODIN and Download mode and stuff is all news to me. But as far as i can tell from reading the whole thread, i dont really need to know anything about those to use this toolkit, correct? Its all pretty much automated, right?

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

My god that was simple. Donation headed your way.

Anytime i get a shiny new device...And i think we can all agree on this...I have this horrible, horrible feeling of extreme nerve wrecking gut churning uneasiness while going through the root process. At least this made that time a much shorter one.

Thanks for the AMAZING tool!

Edit again!!

Im making my first nandroid :) I just have to say it again..WOW that was easy! I hate to sound like a broken record, its just....Does anyone else remember how insanely scary and not necessarily difficult but extremely tedious rooting devices and installing a custom recovery was? I remember when i got my first android, the first android, the G1...I spent days reading about rooting before giving it a chance. And it took a long time to do it.

But my record is still untarnished thanks to your amazing tool.

G1 - Rooted, CWM, a million roms flashed, no bricks

OG Droid - Rooted, CWM a million roms flashed, no bricks

Droid X - Rooted, CWM, a million roms flashed, no bricks

and finally....

:) Thanks again for the amazing tool.

I am having very odd results with this program. I've tried this on two completely separate Windows 7 boxes with the exact same results:

> Install of the Toolkit work fine

> Launch the tool

> [1] to install drivers

> Run through the samsung driver install dialogues. Complete the install.

> When promted by the toolbox plug microUSB cable in to SGS3 (L710)

> Windows searches for the driver for a few minutes then...

> BSOD with error BAD_POOL_CALLER

> Reboot the machine, hangs at "Starting Windows" logo. Then have to either restore to a restore point or boot safe mode. Normal Windows boots just fail. WTFWTFWTF

:confused:

Same happens on both machines at the same point. All current windows updates installed and both machines have nothing else really on them. Googling says this is a memory or hardware error. I can asure you it's not. Oth
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatisandwas:
Thats reeeeally strange. So after the drivers install can you connect via adb? Does the device show up under device manager?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] soundimpressions:
So I un-rooted with Odin and an ota LF9. That allowed the phone to do all updates to LG8, then I re-rooted with this toolkit. All better!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scirio:
ADB does not pick up the device at all. Also the DeviceID does not show up in the Toolkit Main Menu.

Kies does not see the device either.

Device manager says that the device driver is "up to date."

I'm starting to believe this just wont work on Windows 7 (x64)...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Uncensored:
I used Win 7 64 bit successfully & I'm pretty sure others in this thread have. More importantly what you describe: unable to be seen by kies or this kit suggests a basic problem connecting your computer. Check your USB settings on the device. Accessible from the status bar if cable is connected to computer.

Hey mskip, I just got my SGS3 this morning, and it's telling me there is an update avaiable. Is it bad to apply it? I'm coming from HTC devices where updates are ALWAYS bad and contain new hboots that lock the phone down tighter than a "you know whats" "You know what".

Im guessing that since there hasnt been ony posts in this thread for 2 weeks that the ToolKit isnt being used by Sprint users but I will post this anyway.

I want to give the Snapdragon ToolKit some love so im starting work on the update for it tonight and need help to make sure everything gets included that needs including.

Are there any new builds out for your variant or any other of the variants covered in the Snapdragon ToolKit?

Anything else (within the limits of the ToolKit) that you would like added?

Anything in the ToolKit that needs fixing?

Please let me know in the thread. DO NOT pm me with information so that everyone can see whats being posted.

If noone gives any feedback then I will assume there are no new builds and everything else is fine.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Neil Fruit:
I'm not even sure if this is possible or if it makes sense, but could you include a stock tar file for each of the baseband radios so if I have to odin back to stock, I don't have to odin all the way back to LEN and then do the sequential updates to what would now be LI3.

delete please.. my kids mother just rooted her gs3 with this tool!!!!!!! thanks for your work!! now i can teach her the ropes!! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] killa57:
Yes It never ran on my win 7 64bit I even tried compatiblity mode even ran the program as administrator.So I was never able to tried it still donated got the key but never been able to run the program...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wwjoshdew:
Oh how wrong you are! :)

I used it to flash stock, but it doesn't WIPE user data, it just gets rid of root and changes things in the system... I'm assuming. So I'm assuming the correct way to go completely stock is to do a factory reset with custom recovery, run the tool kit and choose the stock option.

All because people don't post in this thread, doesn't mean it's being not used. Just check your downloads. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrtacos:
Oh, I love your toolkit and use it regularly. The only problem I have is when going to nandroid thru it, if I select to delete files after they're copied to my PC it doesn't work. I have to select to save on the phone after it push's to the PC then delete it thru RE. Could you possibly look into that please. Also, is there anyway possible to add the Verizon Galaxy S3 to this also?

But thank you very much
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danbre123@yahoo.com:
I just downloaded the tool. Long story made short, I just bought a Galaxy S3 from sprint, upgraded from an original epic 4g (not touch). I used Titanium backup after rooting to transfer the settings, but it seem to break some of the functions on my phone. I am hoping to use your tool to take my phone back to stock, (and perhaps not up my rom install count, or reset it) and then re-install everything after a re-root back from scratch.

The goal is to have all the functions work again. (My gallery button from the camera locks up the camera, and the search function is messed up.) The phone also seems to be using a lot more battery then it should and when i restart, I always get the "Android is updating 1 of 100 apps" which takes about 2 minutes.

Any help or suggestions before I do this would be great, or if there is a better way that would be great as well. I am trying to research all I can.

Thank you again for the tool and for all the work that went into creating it. This community is the BEST!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spoonydx:
My only request, and I'm not even sure if it is doable, is to make the backup function work with CM10. It doesn't seem to work unless I'm on the stock touchwiz rom - maybe I'm doing something wrong? That, and very much looking forward to the incremental updates for donors!

Thanks for this awesome tool! I Just got my SGSIII yesterday and couldnt wait to root it. I came from the OG EVO and had it a year before rooting it. I do have a question about this phone. So i take it I can just boot phone into recovery and flash roms from sd card... what about different recovery, thinking about TWRP heard good things baout it on this phone. Do i still just flaash it from recovery?

also where is the flash counter i keep hearing about and where can i find that triangle tool to reset it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EggosEvo:
Can the toolkit be used with the latest LI3 update? I got my S3 the other day too, and it kept bugging me to update, so I did. I miss the Odin One-Clicks that I used on my Epic 4G Touch. They were so simple and straightforward in which version was being used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AngelosDracul:
WOW WOW WOW!!!

If I could click "thanks" 100 times, I would. As soon as I get some extra cash together, 20 bucks is heading your way!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dbenney:
my version is baseband LI3 and it worked fine. Not 1 problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
You dont need root or an insecure kernel to use the backup apps and associated userdata via the toolkit. If you are having problems make sure that the adb drivers are installed properly in the Device Manager and maybe try a different usb port connected directly to the motherboard.

What exactly is happening? Details are good :)

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:
Gotcha.

I ran the command

adb backup -f FullBackup.ab -apk -all

Unlocked my screen to the back up data screen and entered a password (in the attached screenshot).

Tapped the confirm button to no response.

I haven't rooted this one yet and I'm on the most recent update (LI3). I'm really not sure what the issue is because it shouldn't be ADB if the phone is receiving the command from the computer. What if Sprint blocked that feature?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
I changed lcd density. this causes the phone to crash 10 seconds after it boots up SO I figured use adb to download undo lcd change and push the build.prop back. done.

problem is windows WILL NOT see the phone properly. it gives me the 3 usb dings and says no drivers. I downloaded and reinstalled the samsung drivers. NO joy.

let me try it right now hang on

it connects fine in normal mode. but will NOT connect in CWM mode so I can do adb (when the phone was frozen I could not boot into normal mode so I tried from CWM to undo the change I made I got that fixed btw but it still won't connect in cwm mode)

does the dah dah dah usb tone to indicate unrecognized device and windows says no driver found.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spoonydx:
Haven't seen any false positives on my machines using this...which anti-virus are you using?

As to your second question, all you should need to do to uninstall the program is delete the folder it got installed to, e.g. C:\SGS3tk (that's where I put mine) - usually in the root of the C: drive.
