did upgrade now have ver 4.3 want to root again and sprint hotspot mod.

Hello all, my usb drive was not working, only thing that fixed it was the upgrade now I have android ver 4.3 baseband ver L710VPUCMK3,

build number JSS15J.L710PUCMK3, hardware ver L710.14. It took my root out. I've been following this post and the post below. for a solution. this post has an all in one solution. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549136

-----------

question I download the latest cwm but the file is an image file, how do I get it on the phone? do I just put in on the phone internal drive and boot to recovery and brows to the file and run it? or do I convert it to a .tar and use odin?

----------

question, I have this file as my all in one fix for rooting , and sprint hotspot mod. SPHL710_ALLINONE_MK3_rooted_odexed.zip

The reason I picked this file my base band ver at the end says mk3 and the I did a google search to find out if phone is odexed or deodexed, I have files that have odex extension. am I right in my reason?

---------

question to install the all in one zip file, I put it on the internal drive on the phone boot into cwm and brows to the file and run it?

take in mind just like a lot of us, this is my only phone my personal and work phone, I cant afford to mess it up and have it off line for a long period of time.

thanks in advance for all your help and guidance.

I don't know if there is a consolidated mod thread in the S3 forums, but one way to get a list of all the mods available is through the Advanced search.

Go here

In the "SEARCH IN FORUM(S)" box, the Development forum should already be selected. Select the Original Development and Themes and Apps forums as well by holding Ctrl and clicking them.

In the "SEARCH BY KEYWORD" box, click the dropdown menu to change "Search Entire Posts" to "Search Titles Only", then type "mod" in the input field, and hit enter.

You should get a comprehensive list of every thread on those three forums that is related to mods.

Hope that helps!

Searched, found some things, but I are confused. Can some kind person explain to me how I can use the CM 11 calendar WITHOUT having to sing in to Google for everything? Can you export the calendar data from Google and then improt to the phone?

Thanks!

Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3

Okay, so im on Virgin Mobile have a galaxy S3 that I have rooted my phone and used clockworkmod5 to do something, but I forget what it was. I want to be able to start fresh and i dont know where to start. Im completely overwhelmed by the vast number of variations and changes that are always being made.

I dont know what i have or what i want, i just want my phone to be fast and stable.

I keep getting these notifications for "system update available" but when i try to install it it always fails. I have 4.1.2 right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
If you have cwm 5 installed, that's why your update is failing. The update is 4.3 and has the Knox boot loader on it. Google it, but in short, it sucks. I have a Knox free 4.3 rom that is reliable, fast, and I personally haven't had any issues with. If you want to start fresh, do a full data, cache, dalvik wipe, and flash this, just follow the directions for install. Some VM users don't need the wifi fix, so try flashing everything except that, and reboot and see if you need the fix. Good luck!

I have been wondering what at the difference between MD5, MD3, MK3, LJ7, MA3 ect. I have seen these terms lately. I have also seen many references to some of the terms in of titles for roms, modems and other things. Others have said that certain downloads work with specific items. So what are the differences between the variants.

Frustrated Noob

Boost SPH-L710, MOAR 7.1, Kernel 3.0.31-dkp-geb5b561

Hey yall, i've been trying to get boot animations and splash screens on this phone for quite some time, and yes, i have read the "noobz" boot animations thread and others as well trying to get them to work. Every time i use custom ones downloaded from XDA and other places, either by flashing them via Philz or manually installing them into the system/media folder, my phone always boot loops. Now when i use ROM Toolboxes animations they work fine but their animations are limited. Why are the animations on ROM Toolbox working and using the instructions on the other forums not? Also, when i try to change the size of the animations in ROM Toolbox to S3 size, 720x1280 i think, the animation doesn't work at all but DOES boot properly.

I know it's something i'm missing or doing wrong. Any suggestions?

The MOAR ROM v8 in the android development section allows for a lot customization, many of them on the fly (not requiring a reboot), also the users and developer are VERY helpful.

thanks for responding

is that compatible with sph-l710? (sprint), i read and saw videos... is MOAR ok for beginners? MOAR sounds like the awsomist! i love the options just worried about being able to do it sucessfully lookes complicated but im easy intimidated. jajaja!! i just rooted my phone and im hearing i need to back up my root... is that in philz screen? and something about gapps? which i havent done yet..i also used the goku tutorial to root since i have knox.... (just trying to give you as much info of where im at)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
you're welcome.

Yes it is for the Sprint version of the S3.

If you're rooted, you just follow these basic steps.

Download the ROM zip, copy it to your phone, reboot into recovery and flash the ROM.

Which recovery are you using?

This will wipe your phone's data. Also, I'm not responsible for any issues that may arise during this process.

1. Download the zip for the rom to your computer

2. connect your phone to your pc

3. copy the zip to your phone

4. unplug your phone from the pc

5. turn off your phone

6. press and hold home button, volume up and power until you see tiny blue words on the top left of the screen

7. you should be seeing Philz recovery menu after a few seconds

8. select wipe data/factory reset

9. select clean to install a new rom then yes

10. select install zip

11. select choose zip from (depending on location you copied the zip in step 3)

if you copied the zip to the phone then select /sdcard0

if you copied the zip to the sd card then select /storage/sdcard1

12. select the zip file (u may have to scroll down to find it)

13. select yes

14. once its finished, press the back button (might need to press it a couple times to get to the main menu)

15. select reboot to system

16. usually first boot takes a while.

you'll have to enter your google information again to setup your phone.

Do i need to do any back up first? Or anything about gapps first?

Updating Cyanogenmod via autoupdater

Hello,

After successfully rooting my phone and installing cyanogenmod 10.2.0.... I checked for an update and downloaded the newest Cyanogenmod version 10.2.1. When I choose to install the new version, the phone shuts off and opens into boot/recovery, gives me the option to install the zip to which I agree, the phone reboots... but cyanogenmod is not updated to the new version.

What is going wrong?

Thanks for any insight.

As a side note, I am brand new to the rooting process and frequently have questions which are surely no brainers for most in these forums... If someone sees this who would be willing to act as a temporary "mentor" for me, meaning we could exchange email addresses and I could ask you questions as they come up for a little while, I would greatly appreciate it. Of course, this is not something I expect anyone to really care to agree to, but just putting it out there if there is someone who would welcome sharing their insight in such a manner.

Okay here goes my noob question, I just got my replacement gs3 in the mail and unfortunately it has knox I'm wondering the easiest way to get root, and for all the searching I've done this looks easiest.

Yes it is possible, if you are talking about flashing a ROM of any given Android build. If you try to push older firmware via Odin, then Knox will step in and brick the phone. There IS a difference.

i have been searching for past few days testing rom after rom from M.O.A.R. to cyanogen mod im looking for a plain simple non themed rom that just runs smooth doesn't have to be the latest firmware or include special menus/ tweaks

i found one that does what i asked but its MIUI V5 super fast but a themed Cyanogen so no prl or profile updates or ##data#

i was a die heart fan of moar untill about version 4 i get nothing but errors in that rom i reverted to stock rom on crack (removed bloatware myself) for a few months but need a change of look +it still has ui lag now MIUI is nice but i dont like this much change or inaccessibility to stock features

So if I flash any other android build it could be lower than 4.3?

I'm looking for a ROM to program the 3G data settings whit qpst or dfs... Is it possible?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
I don't know the answer to the second part of your question, but to reiterate, you can flash, via recovery, any build of Android you want. The danger with Knox is when you use Odin to try to push an older version of the firmware which contains a non-Knox bootloader, which is when Knox will activate and screw things up for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akela11:
