Trouble with "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93"

First off, hello to everyone. First post, but have been on here a lot learning how to make my phone do things it should do out of the box. I rooted my last GS3 and it worked fine. Not sure what I am doing wrong other than this is a 4.3 build.

I am rooting my Galaxy S3 (Sprint) SPH-L710

I went through all the steps here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596697

and all was well until I got to the SuperSu update. While loading I saw 3 red lines, I didn't get a chance to read them all but one said "Failed to verify whole signature".

I downloaded SuperSu from the Play Store and even bought the Pro version but I still get an error message: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSu cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-boot-consult the relevant forums for your device!"

I tried re-loading the SuperSu and I saw the same red lines of text in the custom recovery menu.

What is my course of action to correct this? I am mostly rooting to use ARU for my AppRadio 3. I get screen mirroring, but the screen of the AR3 will not respond to my touch inputs. Maybe because the phone is not fully rooted?

Android Version: 4.3

Baseband version: L710VPUCMK3

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-2034598

Build Number: JSS15J.L710VPUCMK3

SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SPH-L710_4.3_0021

Hardware Version: L710.14

Any help is greatly appreciated!

GPS not working....

Running Wicked Sensations v.04 on my Sprint Galaxy S3. GPS won't "lock" in. I've search the forum but no help there (not to mention i can't ask in there b/c I don't have enough posts). Any suggestions?

When I flash a ROM I am unable to get data (using TWRP 2.6.3.1). How do I get out of this??

Stuck on TWRP 2.5.0.0

I have a Samung Galaxy S3 from Sprint that I rooted a while ago to play with ROMs. I rooted with Odin and have TWRP 2.5.0.0 on my phone and Cyanogenmod 10.1.0-RC2-d2spr. However now I can't do anything else.

I try to update TWRP to 2.6 and nothing happens. The .img file downloads and then nothing. I reboot into recovery and I'm still on 2.5.0.0. I download ROM updates to go to CM 10.2 and when I try to flash the ROM I get failures every single time.

I've tried Rom Toolbox Pro, Goomanager, direct downloads of the ROM (made sure it was for my device), etc. No matter what TWRP seems to be stuck on 2.5 and it won't let me update OR install a new ROM.

Do I need to go back to using Odin and put another recovery on my phone?

So lost. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
I would highly recommend switching to Philz Touch recovery for starters, there is a flashable zip that you can use from your current recovery in order to make the switch. Link is in my signature line. Also, you can use Odin to push the tar file version. Otherwise, if you are determined to stick with TWRP, you will want to download the tar file for 2.6.3.1 and push it to your phone with Odin. There is also a thread on here with a flashable zip for the latest TWRP and CWM recoveries. I will provide some links once I am on my computer in a little bit here.

Links

Flashable zips for TWRP and CWM provided by [MENTION=4353001]Naddict[/MENTION] http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2151476

TWRP download page, 2.6.3.1 is the latest http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2spr

You will want the tar file, if you download the img file you have to follow the specific command line directions to get it to work, and there is a brick possibility if you type something wrong.

Again, I strongly recommend using Philz Touch, it is by far the most superior recovery out there, but recoveries, like ROM's, are a matter of personal preference and the choice is yours!

Hi all,

I've been a long time reader of XDA and love the forums. I got a noob and probably strange question. I updated my S3 to the latest firmware via Kies and for whatever reason the camera shutter sound has disappeared. At first I thought it was just the volume was down but no, it's just not working. I know most of us hate the shutter sound but sometimes for me to hear it now and then. Samsung just gave me the usual "factory rest" answer, which is their stock answer for every problem. Anyone have any solutions/fixes? Any help with this would me greatly appreciated.

Boost SPH-L710 noob question - rooted 4.3

I bought a new Boost branded Samsung Gs3

It was 4.1 out of the box, but when I activated the phone it forced 4.3 on me.

The phone is rooted..(did it myself!)

I also used the "DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip" right after rooting....

I can' t see any knox related files on the phone.

I haven't flashed any roms yet, but wanted to.. Just didn't want to hard-brick the phone.

Can I use any sprint based rom?? Do I need to be aware of anything....

Thanks all in advance..

All my incoming mms images are being resized no matter the file size or resolution. Outgoing mms are never resized which I have confirmed with contacts I send to on different phone carriers.

I set my mms to not auto retrieve so when I receive a mms, the text says I have a 500kb or whatever the size of the image is to download. But when I hit download it gets resized to about 20% of the original. I tried GoSMS feature that preserves image resolution but that does not work. This always happens regardless of ROM. I'm on boost running sprint MOAR rom with the correct boost mmsc url. I used to download full resolution mms before with my S2 on boost using sprint roms. Is there a hidden setting that allows full mms download somewhere on this phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MyzDevyneOne:
I swear I searched...

Might be a ROM issue, but since I'm still a NOOB (haven't gotten to 10 posts yet) I thought I'd give it a try.

Running Wicked v.05 and DKP 2/26 kernel (WTF do kernels do anyway??) but I'm having some lag issues. Also this week out of the blue, phone started restarting itself!! Mostly if I'm streaming music, but it will do it at other random times.

What gives?

Any suggestions welcome!

I am using a Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH- L710. I am not sure exactly what type of information that any of you would need in order to help me but I will just say everything I did. I rooted my phone using some safe way that was pretty easy and it worked and everything but it would not work for a certain root app I wanted to download. So I then reverted the root and tried to root using some siyah kernal so that I could use a certain app. Long story short I ended up changing the firmware(if thats even the right term) from Virgin Mobile 4.3 to Sprint 4.1 which is now not letting me use any data. I am unable to text, browse the web, or use anything that involves using any time of signal. I don't know how to fix it now I have tried some things but nothing fixes it. I don't know what further information that would be required in order to get help with this so PLEASE feel free to ask me and I will promptly respond in order to fix this problem, I dont know what to do now.

TLDR: Switched from Virgin Mobile firmware to Sprint by accident now I have no data connection. My goal was to root my phone and use the siyah kernal on Virgin Mobile firmware.

Sup people.

So I have this Sprint S3. And a mac. And its not good stuff.

well anyways I need help rooting through my mac because I cannot seem to find any way to work it out. Tried this tutorial: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/05/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-mac.html and it installed Superuser successfully. But when I go into it it says the Su binary is not installed and then when ever I try to do it from recovery install or just install, it fails.

And so I have come to the noob center for assistance.

Does anyone know of there's a working wifi tether for this? I have been talking to Virgin Mobile techsupport and the guy said that there is no possible way to use this phone for tethering.

Have you tried pdaNet? Always worked for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CamCroz99:
I tried PdaNet+. That was the only one I could find on the play store.

UPDATE:

According to Virgin Mobile the Mobile Hotspot is for Select Devices only:

- HTC EVO V 4G

- Apple iPhone 4

- Apple iPhone 4S

- Samsung Galaxy S II

I think it's so stupid that a phone made several years ago has better functionality than the S III.

Getting ready to do a cross country trip and need to root so I can use an after market Hotspot. So many issues listed with 4.3 it looks like I stand a very high chance of Bricking.

optimizing apps

For some reason unknown to me. My sprint Samsung s3 is optimizing 268 apps. When all I should have is 155. When flashing roms does the apps still remain on my internal storage. if so how do I get rid of unneeded apps .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
Hi. If you have an extra 113 apps that you don't need, you'd want to uninstall them. Where do you get that you should only have 155 though? What are you counting?

Some of those apps are system apps. You can not see them but system modifications and optimizers sometimes show them.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Those are your system/apps. If you're on TouchWiz that is a close to normal number (mine is 215 and I take out almost everything), if you're on AOSP then something may be awry.

Thanks for the quick response. I have 2 backups on the phone, that's probably why. maybe you can help me with these 3.

On this stock rooted rom mk5 4.3, whenever I store apps on the external sd. It will not reboot. None of the apps ( total of 8 or nine ) are system apps or widgets.

Whenever I want to use my CM!! nightly or vice a versa I lose a backup.

Has anyone come up with a kernel for the stock rooted rom mk3 4.3 to allow for a new bootanimation. My recovery is philz_touch_6.25.0-d2lte.

Accidentally wiped the operating system off my phone, I can still get into download mode and a non-standard recovery mode. Please help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewwright:
Yes should be working fine. Wiping system doesn't wipe recovery or download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tay_Panic:
The phone wont boot up, it just says samsung galaxy s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewwright:
Keep trying button combo. Formatting system or data will not remove download mode. Possible for recovery to be lost but that's such a small chance. Keep trying download mode and flash recovery with Odin if you can't get into recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tay_Panic:
I can get into recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewwright:
Happy days. Two choice's now. Flash stock with Odin through download mode or flash a custom ROM through custom recovery. If you don't have a custom ROM and gapps package download one on pc and shift it to an ext SD and put that in you're phone reboot to recovery and formats system,data,cache and flash ROM/gaps and reboot. Firmware you get from sammobile.com
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tay_Panic:
I dont have a custom recovery anymore, so how do I flash stock with Odin through download mode?

You can either flash a custom recovery or firmware at this point with Odin. At the end of this what do you want custom or stock ROM?

I don't even care what I end up with at this point, I just want my phone usable.

Feeling like I've missed something simple/stupid

I'm feeling like I've missed something simple/stupid. I have a "bricked" phone. I can get into the download screen. I've downloaded the stock rom, run multiple versions of Odin, tried multiple PC's, tried multiple USB cables and tried multiple USB ports. From everything I can read, it sounds like it should be as simple as select the ROM image and click start. No matter what though, the update gets as far as "NAND Write Start!!" and never goes further (in one use case, it actually only got as far as sbl2.mbm and wouldn't go further than that). I've literally spent all day reading threads, trying things, realizing it's not going to work then starting all over. Help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1BadWolf:
On a PC use 7zip or winrar or to edit the zip on your phone try ZArchiver. Just open the zip and navigate to /system/app and-or /system/priv-app and remove whatever files you don't want then flash like normal. It's as easy as that. :thumbup:
