[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noobnl:
go in clockworkmod and format cache

then flash this tar

http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/sprint-sgs3-stock-restore.html

then boot into stock recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
i did but then they said do this "

adb shell

mount -r /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 /cache

find /cache " to make sure it has been wiped but i dont adb in recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noobnl:

worked flashing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
ok now what?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noobnl:
format data/cache or whateverr it called
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mkasick:
0. Three-finger boot into stock recovery (not CWM), and select "wipe data/factory reset".

At this point, you might have a working boot. But /system might still be trounced from the failed update, and it's missing files. So, at this point it's probably a good idea to still:

1. Odin L710VPALEN.

2. Three-finger boot into stock recovery (not CWM), and select "wipe data/factory reset".

(As it turns out, L710VPALEN does contain a cache.img.ext4 which auto-applies an update to /system with stock recovery is first booted. This is a good thing, since the stock system.img is missing files. But I'm concerned about it not having applied previously. Perhaps that was due to the bad /data.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
I think I may have a way...I'm gona try and test it; I'm floating here.

Gimme a couple of minutes, and i SHOULD have a data.img in a few minutes. Gona start the process and restore my stock rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Update: I believe I pulled [in the process of] the data partition, and making it a .img file; though because I didn't flash an insecure kernel via mobile odin, I forgot to do it on a stock rom > i.e. this file is massive, like 2gb at this point. I THINK this should work, but I'll posts again whenever it finishes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
that is good! the wipe data got stuck at formatting /data and it has been like that for an 1h 30m
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Had to restart, cuz apparently sd card ran out of space :p

If its over 3gb, we may have a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
may i ask why?

what should i do i've been in the stock recovery and it has said formatting /data for almost 3 hours now??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Oh no physical problem; I just don't wana have to do it again. :p

Its still running though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
please???? will you???? i need my phone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
No worries, I'll do what it can. Just after like 30 mins it THEN wants to say insuff. space...lol.

But like I said, its up and doing it's thing right now.

And to re-cap, since I've been in and out all day, flashing none of the stock images, tars, otas, have worked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
correct! :( no progress at all. i did try to do my idea of creating a data.img from a nandroid but that caused ODIN to close before it would crash. also people told me to wipe data in the stock recovery but it has been saying formatting /data for 3 hours now what do i do???????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
You may have to chill, cuz it should have been done.

Ironically, this just finished and its 9.12gb. Want me to upload and see if you take a stab at it? lmao
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
now when you say chill??? and yes pleas
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Chill as in you may have to just sit back and wait for this upload. If the stock images/tars weren't working, this could be the only shot, till we get what we need.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
oooh well i was gonna wait for it, but what do i do about my phone. pull battery? just leave it? leave it till download is done?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Well if its been at it for 3 hours, I think a battery pull would suffice, or leave it, your choice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
i'll leave it till the upload and download is done..... please keep me posted on how that goes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Well got it transferred, and now its uploading, which could take a while...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
where you able to flash it with ODIN?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
I haven't even tried yet; spent all the time waiting for it to download.

~50 minutes on upload.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
I hope we get a fix my phone is fried hope some of you more intelligent peole can help us figure this out I appreciate everyones help never had a problem like this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
there are 2 options left a data.img and .pit file teh roxxorz has made a data.img. lets hope it works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Sh!t happens hope we can fix it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
10 minutes on my massive upload.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
does it give an ETA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Thanks for your help

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Is there any way to make an update zip that could pass stock recovery and update something somehow to help us out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
4 minutes left it says.

What do you mean by pass stock recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Well with cwm v4 I couldnt access my external sd card and I can through stock recovery I remember on my epic 4g touch if you put a file on the sd card that was in a format of update.xxxx.xxx.zip it would flash through stock recovery Im just a little lost I guess and talked to sprint they want me to take the phone into there repair center to have it troubleshot and see if it needs to be replaced.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
I will see what I can do; also, did you flash the latest cwm, because I was able to see and mount the ext sd card.

data.img link > https://www.dropbox.com/s/r2wb618n7nd7e80/data.img
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
How would i flash now its there a tar of the new cwm v5 iI looked earlier but had to leave for work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
This is great but I still don't know exactly know what to do with it lol makes me feel like a noob
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Just wait till jamcar tests it and reports back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Well the goal is to flash it with odin / fastboot. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
It is downloading and I'll report back after
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Thanks appreciate the wife is saying i told you not to root your phone blah blah a fix would be sweet lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Lol yea we can't let her win now!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
My girlfriend told me that too lol google chrome says a hour left on the download
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
This is why people don't dev out the box and release to public without first testing there own phone ;-)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
I Did test it! I thought it worked so I put it up but by the time I realized it bricked it was to late and other people used it. I feel bad for giving them a .zip that would brick I'm so sorry
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
I just wouldn't post stuff till you ran through 3 or 4x's to make sure things worked...

I know I test things like 3x's at LEAST to make sure things work.

I don't blame you, I blame the people that are flash happy, and don't realize they could break there stuff, however like I said I wouldn't post till you ran through a few times

BTW, it takes like 10 seconds to wipe, 1 minute to install, and more then 2 minutes to upload files and post. I call BS on that, you should've known damn well it was bad before uploading. *sigh* this is why ppl should wait to flash new releases unless the dev is well known
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EJayMz:
I did the same thing and have the same problems. Now my wife must be talking to yours because i am hearing the same noise. :p

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

I forgive you. eek: Is there a possible fix though??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
possible: yes probable: yes. is there one right now, no. the main person working on this is teh roxxorz please thank his post in the thread! he mad a data.img. im am downloading it now and will test it and let everyone know it goes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I've been watching this from the beginning. I really hope this resolved.

Just Flash It !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EJayMz:
I tried this and successfully flashed a ROM. It didn't work though as it was stuck on boot screen after it played out.

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

I need that .PIT file! How can I get it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
Wow that's depressing!!!! Honestly I don't know to google I guess
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EJayMz:
Tell me about it!!!! Silly thing is... GOOGLE isn't giving me what I need!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
jamcar, please stop devin after this is resolved. I hate seeing people brick a brand new phone at someone else's expense....

Practice or join a team and then go off on your own...

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Don't worry I sent Freeza a PM, as if anyone can fix this mess it maybe him ... for the sheep that flashed instead of waiting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
There have been plenty of really experienced devs trying to help already. Maybe that .img file will work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
Well I feel bad for ppl, cuz all he did was rip Calks wipe all, from the Epic Touch 4g, and thought it would work... when the file systems are different.

If noobl or teamepic or even freeza didn't release a wipe all, why would someone else? I mean seriously, the SGSIII has a lot of HIGH END DEV's...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Lol me too even though i agree with your harshness i didnt flash this cuz i knew better. I admire his willingness to contribute but the lack of testing and knowledge led to this. The people that did flash this knew the risk though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
That's why i said what I said, people should know better if there flashing, and if they have never flashed before, then they need to Read, and when they think they read enough they need to READ READ READ MORE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
this might help.... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26428986&postcount=1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EJayMz:
Maybe I can help.

I flashed stock ROM and stock recovery. The stock recovery would not install completely and left message about E: recovery_log.txt missing. So I flashed the boot-stock-sprint-sph-l710.zip. After that, It would get by recovery and the stock Sprint boot screen would play out. When Samsung came on, it gets stuck and stays there. I let it sit for about 30 minutes and nothing.

SO, I flashed CWM and root as instructed by Cyanogenmod Team Epic. I flashed Superuser and then flashed Syndicate's ROM. CWM bypassed stock recovery, but it was also stuck after the boot screen played out. I let it sit for about 10 minutes and assumed it was still a dud.

I have not flashed your data.img as I am still downloading it. What do I do with it when it is finished?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Now now lets all keep calm. Something bad has happened but its nice to see other devs trying to help these poor guys get back up. I cant imagine such pain so lets ease off a little. Id hate to see this thread closed when it looks like a couple devs are working hard to get a fix out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_rick:
You guys dont have an emmc brick so that wont help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Yeah guys I'm bricked it sucks but we are a community here so we will fix it as a team or fail as a team but if we fail we will have done everything possible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Here is a question is there any way possible to reset the jig/download count in the bricked state we are in as a last case scenario i will take my phone in and try for a replacement:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
i did change the blocks

calks:

ui_print("");
ui_print("FORMATTING Cache");
unmount("/cache");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7");
ui_print("");
ui_print("FORMATTING Data");
unmount("/data");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");
ui_print("");
ui_print("FORMATTING System");
unmount("/system");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9");

mine:

ui_print("");
ui_print("FORMATTING Cache");
unmount("/cache");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p17");
ui_print("");
ui_print("FORMATTING Data");
unmount("/data");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15");
ui_print("");
ui_print("FORMATTING System");
unmount("/system");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14");

i got them from adb shell. then "mount"

So what happens if you try to odin the stock rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737859?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
They said it fails, something about E missing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
It doesn't stick because the data.img got compromised we all tried odin and then recovery/backup restore the phone just hangs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_rick:
That sounds like an error in recovery, not Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
the recovery logs yes. but there was a fix for that around page 6. if you then boot into CWM and try to advance restore data (of a nandroid) then it will same that it couldn't restore it. check the logs and it say that it is a read only file system
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Jamcar you still dl the data.img
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
yes i am it is at 7.1 GB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
wooooo o.O anyone else just get a thread closed when they refreshed??????? please mods dont close this we are trying to work on a fix. im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry to everyone i brought down with me :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
What happens if you go to advanced in CWM and Fix Permissions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Adam_v1:
Well I was in on this mess as well until a few minutes ago but flashing back the stock recovery (http://k0nane.info/rom/ecm/TeamEpic-Sprint-SGS3-stock-boot-and-recovery.tar.md5) and then running a format data worked for me. After that I was able to flash CWM back and proceed to install Blazer 1.4 with no other issues.

Sure had me worried for a bit, in the future I will no be so lazy as to try a wipe all zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
when i formatted /data it got stuck i let it go 3.5 hours and zero progress
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
Did you try fix permissions in CWM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
fixing permissions...

Done!

still stuck

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Adam_v1:
Actually in the stock recovery its Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_rick:
So you did what noobnl, bbelos and mkasick said to do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
yes in the stock recovery when i formatted /data it got stuck i let it go 3.5 hours and zero progress
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrkite38:
Yes, sorry - got a report, had to act quick, all better now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Adam_v1:
Yep and it worked for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
Try format / wipe like the other 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
How long did it take to complete the wipe?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_rick:
Which post exactly? Can you quote so these guys can get up and running again? Thanks go to the TeamEpic devs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Adam_v1:
Maybe 5 seconds? It was just like a normal wipe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
It was just confirmation for jamcar so he is not sitting there for another 3 hours of waiting lol

Is it possible to get the sms unread count to show up on the stock lock screen just like it does for the stock message app? I don't want the preview of the message. Just the unread count. I read that you can disable the stock message app on galaxy Nexus and a third party sms app will then show up on the lock screen but I don't think that's the case for galaxy s3. Please share if you know a way. Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] flamus:
I just got my S3 today. It is bigger then I actually would like. Also, I do not like TouchWiz (and the VZW mods/bloatware) on the phone. Even using Nova Launcher, I still get stuck with some odd interface issues due to TouchWiz.

For hardware, though, it runs very, very well. However, I am stuck -- I would like to but JB on it but with no perm root yet for the phone (just the kexec work around). So I am curious, since the BL is locked (not eta yet of getting it unlocked) should I go towards the Gnex (similar size phone) or the smaller Inc4g (which is unlockable -- worried about support though unlike my OG DINC). I prefer the Inc4g however the build quality is an issue on the phone. In my 20mins of playing with it at VZW (day it came out), seems to run very well with Android 4.0 and Sense 4. I don't mind Sense as much as TouchWiz either.

So I am at an impass: do I wait to see what happens with the S3? Do I jump ship to the GNex or Inc4g?

I do wish VZW would not have been stupid about the S3!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nadcicle:
I would honestly wait it out. It's a matter of time before enough people get together and win over a BL unlock update from Sammy. If you want a GN enough I would trade you, but to be fair the s3 is a strong phone and should get the unlock soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] flamus:
I the S3 set up and works great. Don't like TouchWiz at all. We will see. I can do some programming but not on the level needed to help. I let you know.
