Is it me or the rom development for this phone (Sprint) is slow? CWM recovery can't seem to get it right? I came from HTC phones and I think development on those phones are more active. Just my personal observations.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jbluna:
um yeah, you do realize that the phone just came out a week ago right? You can't expect the latest and greatest roms ever a week from release. Those HTC phones have been out for quite a while now so ofcourse the devs have gotten used to their innards. Our devs have to worry about the TW framework and all. But with CM9 & AOKP (on some)already here, things should move along pretty smoothly from here on out
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] :
And development with Samsung phones is quality over quanity.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mixxy:
why dont more devs use the canadian telus/bell/rogers roms. as their bases? they are already debloated and already have the necessary enabled items and settings to to build on????

I'm sticking with the old one.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] gingson:
yeah...I always revert back to 2010 version.lol.

I see you gave up your EVO 3D too?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] :
Same here... I just wish it didn't automatically switch back every few days...

And yeah, I traded in my 3D for $280 and spent $200 on the GS3. Basically got this phone for nothing!

I could notice a huge improvement in speed after using it right out of the box. The developer support is crazy. The screen is a lot better than the 3D and front+back cams are amazing compared to them.

Oh, and this phone was out 1 month and we already have CM10. It's been 7 months since ICS source drop and there still isn't a CM9 for Evo 3D which is as functional as ours.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] gingson:
Yeah, the 3D was a bomb. I learned my lesson about "gimmickry" with phones. Gimmick stuff tends to die out sooner.

Just wanted to pop in here and say that I finally just bit the bullet and ordered my Galaxy SIII on T-Mobile. I'm coming from a GSM Galaxy Nexus rooted with CM10. While I absolutely love my Nexus I was ready for a change and from everything I've read, the SIII is pretty future proof hardware wise. Plus it looks like there are already plenty of devs over on this forum getting to work on ROMs for the SIII. Hell, the SIII got a CM10 alpha build before the GSM Nexus did which was a big eye opener for me.

Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement. I love new shiny s***!

I would be carefull with flashing custom roms. There apparently are issues that can cause your IMEI to get corrupted and you will lose data and telephony connection. This happened to me. There is a thread on here where some Unix/linux geniuses are trying to figure it out. I would wait to see if there is a solution first.

SOLVED - How to flash the Proper (Fixed) Stock Rooted Image

Description

: This is 100% stock with just Superuser/su added and overwrites every partition to stock but keeps your personal data, apps, settings the same (just like the stock factory image).

Samsung Official USB Drivers - Link

ODIN v3.07 - Link

Proper Rooted Stock Image - Download or (Torrent Link) - MD5 = be4350a56e739eaf7a4184352d653a7b

1. Install USB drivers

2. Download ODIN v3.07

3. Backup your data

4. OPTIONAL: Do a factory reset (highly recommended if you have issues with your current ROM)

***WARNING: Step #4 will erase internal storage but not microSD card***

5. Download the above Proper Rooted Stock Image file and extract the tar file from inside it

6. Boot phone into ODIN mode (See here for how-to)

7. Flash the extracted tar file using ODIN v3.07

You should now have a like new condition stock image and rooted with all issues resolved.

Credit goes completely to mrRobinson for creating this image for us. Thank you sir. :) (Original Post) + (Details How It Was Made)

To Install Official CWM Recovery

1. After following above process, download "Rom Manager" from the Play Store

2. Open Rom Manager

3. Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

4. Select "Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon)" down at the bottom and let it flash

5. Once completed you can reboot to CWM by selecting "Reboot into Recovery" from Rom Manager

ORIGINAL REQUEST
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
If you don't like it, dont flash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] themusicmonkey:
Hardly helpful for those who already flashed it... I just want it fixed, or a work around. If it's something as simple as uninstalling a few things, or replacing some databases, I'm fine with that. I just don't want to redo everything, and re-restore everything with Titanium Backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Not to be rude but we're not. That's why I'm making this request to remake with proper image. Because we are skeptical of the original one that was made. I PMed the OP of that thread and he claims to have used that image but in user's experience something is definitely different from stock, hence we're requesting a remake to test this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
If you'd like, you can flash the stripped version, and I have a second zip that will restore all the stripped apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExodusC:
I did have some odd issues with SwiftKey crashing after flashing the image. Not sure if that has to do with it or not.

Useless post.

What would be useful is someone with the requisite knowledge being able to remake this exploit with the Verizon source in order to have maximum compatibility.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alquimista:
Are you talking about the system.img from invisibleks first image?

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28402010&postcount=1

Or the stripped and rooted one?

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28459565&postcount=1

I think the first one invisiblek made is pretty much what you are asking for. Remember, there's no SCH-I535 source code out there for people to build a system image from. These images are hacked system images from the stock image (found here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I535 ). One can't really "remake" the system image until we can fully bypass the encrypted and locked bootloader.

If you want to roll your own system image with the su binary and SuperUser you can follow the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27801304&postcount=1

They seem pretty straight forward.

However, I'm pretty sure that's what invisiblek did for his/her first rooted image (the one that isn't stripped).

Hope that helps. I can't do much of anything till my SGS3 arrives tomorrow.

ALQI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
The one in bold is what this request is about actually. Basically to remake that. Because the non-stripped rooted system.img that invisiblek is the one causing most issues for people and people have noted things in there that are not in the factory image. I tried to follow that guide myself but I must be missing something because most of those commands do not work for me. Mind you this is on a Windows PC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
I could do it, but it'd require more time than whats it worth. Sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XDAholic:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
No worries. Very understandable as that guide is quite time consuming and not for everyone. Thanks for your support either way. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
Two completely pointless comments.

You sir are a better man than me for being so humble in response to these replies.

I'm assuming invisiblek DID in fact use the VZW image if the phone still had all the VZW nonsense in it (VZ Navigator, for example) as that would not be found in the Sprint image. Equally, if "all" he did was follow the steps in the link, then someone else doing the same is likely to produce the same result.

If you have these, have you posted them anywhere? That might have been a useful thing to do.

Thank you much sir. You assistance would be greatly appreciated. :)

Unfortunately I do not have a linux box so the guide does not work for me. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goose306:
It's already been diff'd. There is no difference between the stock image and the rooted one here except for su and binaries:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29256-ro...erizon-galaxy-s-iii/page__st__110#entry793038

I'm guessing VZW has done more to the stock image on the phone than the stock one that is available for download, which is causing these differences.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BungeBash:
Considering I loaded the first root mod, then reverted to the image that it was created from and have 2 different setups I'd say two different files were used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alquimista:
If its already been diff'd with the original, maybe the sammy-updates file ain't so good.

Hmm, I wonder if we dump the system.img from an untouched stock phone (like the one I get tomorrow), and inject that img with su, would that work out any better? I'll look into this tomorrow.

I'll also take a look at re-rolling the system.img from the sammy-updates files in the meantime.

I'll report back when and if I have a viable image.

~ALQI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
According to users, flashing that sammy-update firmware got rid of all the issues and the Sprint related stuff. Just, FYI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
If anyone is up for the remake, you might want to try making it out of this one. Not sure if it's any different but it's from another well known Samsung firmware site.

Confirmed this as well last night. Had to kill my curiosity. Thanks again to all the fine folks on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Noxious Ninja:
So just to confirm, if I flash the root66 ROM with Odin, then flash CWM from this thread, it doesn't trip the flash counter, doesn't show the custom unlock screen, doesn't show Device Status: Modified, and doesn't have MEID/IMEI/ICCID as all zeroes? But flashing this ROM will wipe the phone, right?

And then if I want to go back I can just use Odin to flash the stock ROM from here and still no tripped flash counter?

I'm just a bit paranoid.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
Well, now that I have this flashed, I can definitely see the invisiblek image was not stock Verizon. My phone now says Verizon Wireless on the lockscreen, which it didn't before, and the stock email app has a white background instead of the black I had before. Also some settings options in the email app that weren't there before,like turning off vibration notification. Quadrant scores went up as well, for what that's worth.

Removing some things may cause issues. All the VZW crap I uninstalled using TiBU. I made backups of them though. The Samsung stuff I just froze. I know on MotoBlur getting rid of some Yahoo stuff caused issues with the dialer and contacts.

What have you done exactly? Do you have Titanium Backup and a good file browser like Root Browser?

I got my messaging issues worked out by backing up the stock messaging app (FC all the time), uninstalling it, rebooting, and then installed the "stock" MMS.apk from CM9. Works great now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
I have a couple questions before trying this just so I don't screw up my phone. Is the rooted image basically the same as the factory image, just rooted? also has anyone had any issues rooting with this method (ie. any apps that do not work afterwards)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
That is correct, and no issues confirmed but multiple users already. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burpootus:
This has really been intriguing me. I am using the original root method but haven't been experiencing issues. I don't use the stock messaging app so I can't comment on those issues. The stock keyboard seemed to work normally before I installed swype.I use a pin unlock and my lockscreen has Verizon Wireless at the bottom. My stock email app has a black background. Others have mentioned Sprint elements, but I haven't seen any or don't know what I'm looking for. My baseband is 1535VRLF2 and my build number is IMM76D 1535VRALF2 I really hate to wipe data and re-set everything up if it's not needed. It's hard to see how the results are so different from the same image file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yukonhijack:
I have been using this new stock rooted image since yesterday (from a factory phone, I wiped all data, and followed the rooting instructions with this new image), and have had no problems. Burned through one battery already playing around and installing stuff. Thanks a ton!:laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BugginOuT:
Same here. Stock Samsung KB worked, but it seems like the auto-filled/auto-correct was not working as expected, Swype resolved that issue. My locked screen states Verizon Wireless.

Do you have Motion enabled? Is it working for you?

As soon as you flash, boot into recovery and do a wipe. ODIN doesn't wipe data.

Haven't had that happen but I did notice 4G running slow last night. Put the phone in airplane mode, then took it out and it was back to blazing. Might be a quicker solution for you rather than doing a reboot.
