Credits

Thanks go to the following:

- sfhub for many hints on how to do this - I'm just trying to help fill in while he's away.

- sextape for FI03 leak and root .zip

- rwilco12 for advice and hosting

- rainmotorsports, dev-host for hosting

- XDA Members for their support and hopefully feedback on these builds!

Make sure you give them any thanks for this build - they did far more than I on this! :highfive:

This is a match of sextape's FI03 leak with only root added.

This means it should behave completely as it is stock or released by either OTA/Kies.

Since most people are familiar with sfhub's format I'm going to include it here.

Again thank him for the LARGE amounts of time that he put into these posts.

This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the ODIN flash count.

This does NOT have the issue with the USB jig being disabled.

There are two versions provided, a FULL Restore that resets your whole phone, similar to a factory restore, and a No Data Restore, which is the same, except it preserves your User Data. The NoData version is only suggested if you are upgrading or remaining at the same version.

Instructions

- (No Video Yet)

0) Backup anything important

and

Disable any PINs

This process will restore you to factory software. All your Android data will be reset.

To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or dropbox.

Note #1:

Please DISABLE any PIN code you may have created to protect your phone. As a security measure, after the flash, Android will ask you for your PIN, if you have one enabled. It is simpler to have no PIN active. If you forgot your PIN then, after the factory restore, just enter the wrong PIN a few times and it will warn you. Enter the wrong PIN again and it will reset the filesystem.

1) Install Samsung USB/Android drivers

(if necessary) [USB/Android]

2) Download the FI03 full restore One-Click self-extractor

Version #1 Removed, PM if you need - but don't expect it to be used any longer.

Version #2 (FH23 Root Method, Zoom fixed)

SPH-D710_FI03_CL1083465_Rooted_Restore_v2.exe [Mirror1|Mirror2] (RESET user data) (md5: 8d0c07376130d88ac58cf53a05d6c4c4)

SPH-D710_FI03_CL1083465_Rooted_Nodata_v2.exe [Mirror1|Mirror2] (PRESERVE user data - do NOT use if downgrading versions) (md5: 91fbac1a18f7e7bb9ae4f5efc632d8e2)

Mac/Linux

- Install 7-zip, then use it to unpack the individual ODIN components in Reference Section B (below). If Heimdall fails flashing all 3 files together, try doing them individually. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows specific (steps 3, 4, 6).

Android

- Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6).

3) Extract the package

double-click on the self-extractor file, specify the directory to extract to (instructions assume C:\)

4) Start ODIN One-Click

Full: Double-click on SPH-D710_FI03_CL1083465_Rooted_Restore_OC.exe in Odin-OC folder created.

NoData: Double-click on SPH-D710_FI03_CL1083465_Rooted_Nodata_OC.exe in Odin-OC folder created

Note #1:

On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.

5) Place phone in ODIN download mode

[B][U]Method #1[/U][/B]
Power down phone
Wait for capacitative button [B]lights to turn off[/B]
Simultaneously [B]Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn][/B] until confirmation screen appears
Press [B][VolUp][/B] to enter Download mode

[B][U]Method #2[/U][/B]
adb reboot download

Connect USB cable to PC if not already connected
ODIN should show yellow COM port in 2nd column

Note #2:

If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the ODIN One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting ODIN One-Click.

6) Start ODIN flash process

Press [Start]

7) Complete - PASS!

When complete you should see a screen similar to what is shown at top of post

Phone will automatically reboot

Status should change to green PASS!

Boot process will be slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the 4G logo screen.

If you want CWM use Option D in the Auto Root Package to install FF18+CWM-agat-src (you are already rooted so Option A is not necessary). You will lose the FI03 kernel in the process.

If you need to clear NVRAM/Sprint data login info, perform a ##72786# reset from the Dialer and enter MSL.

Type getprop ril.MSL in adb shell

or

terminal to retrieve your MSL.

For

NoData install

:

- If you are getting random force closes, wipe cache/dalvik-cache

- If you have troubles with Android Market, clear data from

menu->applications->all->market->clear data

- If you have troubles booting into Android, perform factory reset in ICS using the ODIN OneClick Factory Reset tool. Do NOT perform factory resets using stock recovery or privacy->reset, at least until you read about the EMMC superbrick/lockup bug and understand what the trigger points are and what you are exposing yourself to.
