Always give thanks just saw your post ill try that thank you I thought I scoured this section I must of missed it.

Edit. Tried fixing premissions to no avail. Guess ill lurk deeper try to figure it out was working fine before root and nothing I've done should of effected it. Before root I had the option to show finger presses ob the screen mabye that is the problem.

Edit. Yup disabling that fixed it. Wonder why it only acted up after root thanks for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cjprix:
Thanks for the help. So in order to do that I would have to re root the phone correct?

Why do you think I'm having this error? Bad rom? Did I make a mistake?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigpappags3:
Make sure to download the actual w.s. rom first then the anaconda theme for that Rom. It will be 2 separate downloads. [MENTION=3533781]dazednconfused[/MENTION] has stated in his thread that it is best to use twrp so as to be able to flash multiple files at once. Also make sure you do a clean install.

hey all - i am strongly considering the SGSIII through Virgin Mobile, is this the rite forum for that phone as far as rooting and roms and what not ? i was hoping for a one-click but cant seem to find one ( idk if there is one - lol ) i have not been able to find a definitive thread for rooting that variant - ive tried searching for a VM specific thread but couldnt find one - Im currently on the SGSII ( E4GT - D710 ) does the VM branded SGSIII have a specific thread ? thanks in advance for any and all advice, links and ideas !

Hey bro...good to see you over in this neck of the woods. Yes, it is the right forum, since VM SIII forum is rolled into this one. Boost was like that as well, until I made one exclusively for Boost. Let me know if you have any questions if you upgrade. It's really easy to root, just a little tricky on getting the MSL Code(unless your phone comes with LJ7, then it's a snap!). I'm also in the process of doing the same thing for the SIII as I did for the E4GT, and create some deodexed, debloated, stock, rooted(and unrooted) zips for both the VM and Boost variant. Let me know if you get stuck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] remotehugger:
Awesome jd ! thank you - love your debloated E4GT ROM - been running it since you released it - with any luck, my new SIII should be here the middle of next week - can you point me to what I should dwnld to prepare to root or is it going to depend on model number and such ? are Samsung drivers the same for the SIII and SII ? and getting the MSL isn't as easy as it is on the E4GT ? can't use TD's MSL fix ? and what is LJ7 - lol -
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Been down with the flu the last couple of days. I didn't install any additional drivers onto my pc, so I'm assuming the drivers are the same. I have model number SPH-L710, which is the Sprint variant, but on the boost carrier. If you get vm, it will be the same. LJ7 is comparable to ICS 4.0.4 when talking about MSL. Before the msl fix, users had to flash back to get the msl. Your phone will probably come with MD7(like GB28). I had to flash back to LJ7 to get msl. There's a simple trick to it using msl reader and terminal emualator. So simple to root. All you'll need is CWM for s3 in tar format and su zip, and bam, you're rooted :). Just like the E4GT, anything from Sprint variant will flash to the VM or Boost variant. And also, not much vm or Boost specific support, but I'm fixing to change that too :). Let me know if you get hung up

Hey guys, my question is regarding the upcoming 4.3 update. I'm rooted and running a touchwiz Rom, but I dint have access to a computer to unroot. I'm reading there might be some Knox program in this update that that will record your flash count and this and that. I'm not worried at all about warranty, or getting hassled by Sprint for having a rooted device. Can I install this update without returning my phone to stock first?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsaucier0810:
You do not need to have access to a computer to unroot and this will also rest custom count...This way you still have your warranty hope this helps

Hello to all. I have a couple of questions.

Concerning my storage, I have sdcard and sdcard/0. It appears they contain the same files. Somewhere on the phone I saw usb storage as well as sdcard. Should I have the sdcard/0?

I have no more storage space available. I don't now how it got like this. Secondly, why does my data cycle from 1x to 3x while I am at work?

I am rooted running TPR 3.17.

4.1.2 on Sprint network. I live in the los Angeles area. Compton 90221

I also changed my prl to 56xxxx. Turned off the eHrd thingy. What should my settings be for a stable data connection?

Blessings

I was wondering what, if any, kernels are available for my VM SGS3 ? I am currently on build MD4 stock/rooted - i would like to find a kernel with uv/oc ability - any suggestions ?? thanks -
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
I am pretty sure you can delete the SD Card0 because you are no longer using an AOSP / CM Rom. This happened because at one time you were running a aosp or cm based rom. With changing the PRL did you update your profile? Might help.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

VM GS3? This is SPRINT and any kernels here will not be compatible with any other carrier unless specified. But if you happen to be compatible check out Ktoonsez kernel

This fella has an sgh-I717....pretty sure that's not a sprint sgs3 :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tracebustin:
This is a great thread, I think I may have found most of my solution reading through it. Let me start from the beginning:

I was running ICS 4.0.4, stock rom, and rooted. I wanted to upgrade to JB, so I flashed the JB leak. From TWRP I: factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, flashed rom, flashed modem, flashed root recovery.

Upon restarting I reinstalled Titanium Backup and restored system data, apps and app data. Ever since I've had a problem crop up: at random times (once or twice a day) it will completely freeze up. I notice it when I go to wake it up and it's completely unresponsive. I have to hold the power button down for a few seconds a few times before it finally starts booting up again. (It also somehow killed my 32gb sd card).

Reading through this thread, it sounds like my problem was restoring the system data and app data. My girlfriend has the same phone, and I went through the same process that I did on mine, and she is having the same problem (except for the sd card).

Do you think if I flash the official jb update and don't restore the system data & app data that we'll be free of this problem? Would I have to go through the whole process of factory reset and cache wiping?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WHYDavid:
You should probably flash with a factory reset. You restored ICS system data into JB and you'll want to get rid of that...

It's a hassle, but well worth it. It's great that you narrowed it down and realized what caused the problem instead of just blaming it on JB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EliteForceJac:
Question

Here's one more N00B question.

If i do a factory reset from my device, will that restore all system apps, and remove root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
I believe that the answer is no. It will not modify the system partition. This will wipe the data partition and delete all data and apps that you have installed. This includes the data on your internal sd card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EliteForceJac:
would the stock rom replace deleted system apps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] winterstormhaku:
I'm have two versions of the same Rom, one is an earlier date and one is the latest. I like the previous dated one as a daily driver but the latest one has a few things I want. What files or folders would I need to extract to carry over the splash screen and the notification bar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
Yes. If you flash a stock ROM it will replace the deleted system apps. It will also unroot your phone unless the stock rom has been modified to give root access.

Hi....Yes I am a noob and lots of info on here I do not understand at all.

I just got the sg3 with Sprint. Had the evo before and was able to use the emoji plug in with handcent. It wont work with the sg3 now. I researched and saw that maybe JB will fix that. Is this true? Will it not work on ICS? I also saw that JB is out. Will my phone automatically prompt me with the update???? I know I know....stupid questions but hey....that's what this thread is for right???

I just got back from vacation and had zero reception even roaming. Is there anything I can do to force roam on any carrier signal. Don't know if it makes a difference but running cm10.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
If you use an md4 kernel you will be fine if your carrier is vm. It's the same principle as using agat's gb27 kernel on your vm or Boost variant. It works fine. Just make sure the kernel is for the sph-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jezrick:
So I saw this thread and apparently I can get a better signal by flashing one of them. Which one is the best to flash for my device? And should there be anything in particular I should backup before messing around with them.

i guess i dont consider myself a noob, but because i cant find the answer to this question, im assuming its a noob question.

Why is it when i flash AOSP ROMS, it seems to backup a full copy of my internal SD card to a goofy location? (like within several folders on the internal SD)

I have only flashed AOSP a couple of times, but now i'm down to something like 16gb free on my 32gb internal memory.

it doesnt seem to want to delete using ES File explorer either.

Edit: Well, i selected all in the weird folder location (this was everything that was on my internal SD before the AOSP rom flash) and deleted, my system UI got super sluggish, then i rebooted, and its all gone..

Less than a GB is taken on my 32 gb internal storage now.. so i guess that worked!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dougmeister:
Just a step above newbie (barely).

My S3 is rooted. Running stock Android 4.1.2, baseband L710VPBLJ7, build JZO54K.L710VPBMD4.

Was attempting to use EF File Explorer to move pictures from the internal SD card to the external. They were all in "albums" in the built-in photo viewer. At some point, it stopped moving the files. I thought the external card might be full; it wasn't. I tried a few more times, also with another file explorer I had installed (I forget the name).

Then instead of just failing to copy, it locked up while copying.

Now it locks up every time I reboot.

Please help.

P.S. I have TWRP v2.5.0.0 installed as well as Titanium Backup Pro; that should help... I don't know if I can simply flash "MD4_update_FULL_DeOdex" again over top of what is already there and I won't lose anything?

In the "Restore" options for TWRP, the most recent backup appears to be 7 months old, so I'm hoping that Titanium Backup (that ran last night) will be a better option?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
First, I would backup all your files and pictures to your pc. That way you won't lose them if you try to move them again. Then I would download a stock md4 zip and dirty flash it in TWRP. In case you don't know, dirty flash is wipe cache and dalvik. And even though it's giving you issues, back up before flashing, so you can at least get back to where you were if the dirty flash don't take. If that happens, we'll try something else.
