Am I boned?

So I bought a Boost Mobile Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710)

It's running 4.1.1 (3.0.31-329968).

So I started trying to root this with Odin, and through a lot of trial and error, I managed to get CWM 6.0.3.6 on the device.

However, it won't mount anything at any time. Tried different cards, played with FAT32, tried doing some ADB - couldn't get to flash or find any ROMs.

So I came across a Sprint ROM that was preloaded with Root access that would load with Odin.

Flashed it, and it boots and has root. However, I got an absolute cluster of android.process.acore and android.process.media has stopped. It's sort of an odd hybrid between the stock Boost Mobile and a Sprint ROM - Sprint loading screen, Boost Apps.

I cleared some of that out by clearing some application data, but half the things don't work, CWM's still broken, and I'd love to flash a working ROM. I'd even go back to stock, but I can't find a stock boost ROM that doesn't run through CWM.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Can you go back to stock? Then I can show you where to get the new recoveries that are made for the new phones that mount storage. Or you can flash the new recovery and then flash a romantic that works. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44262749

Appreciate the help. Actually, I think if you do link them then I'm done.

I think I just spent too long trying banging my head into the desk.

I loaded http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40636598 onto the phone, and that gave me a good ROM with root access.

I've seen a variety of different CWMs for this issue - do you have a link to the known good ones?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Yes, I put it in the post. Didn't you even bother to look at it. I gave you the answer and the link to solve your problem.

You will find recoveries you can flash via adb or via Odin files are found at the bottom of the OP

4g connection issues

ok so my small town got 4g about 2 months ago and its been awesome. 10-30Mbps/5-10Mbps consistently, until recently.

about 2 weeks ago my phone's internet connection would time out and nothing would download from the internet. i could not access speed tests, email, weather etc etc.

also, i use wifi tether a great deal, when i am home i plug in my phone and turn on the wifi tether app.

well about 2 weeks ago i noticed that my desktop internet client wasn't pulling any data down, so i switched to one of my other computers and found it was doing the same thing.

on my phone i saw the 4g icon and it had both up and down icons locked solid. my phone seems to be ok from a os standpoint but there was no internet on my phone.i tried checking email, weather and runing speed tests and nothing worked.

i found that when this lack of internet problem surfaces that if i turn the mobile radios off via "airplane" mode and back everything works again for a while.

tonight from about 10pm through 1am i had to this this about 5 times. also it seems like i had to do this more frequently as the night went on. another words i probably had to do the airplane mode once in the first 2 hours and 3 times in the last 40 minutes. its been this way for the last couple of weeks.

i havent tested its reliability at day time due to work, but i will if this helps me make a conclusion, ie maybe its maintenance stuff at night that is causing problems

what do you all think? i thought about new phone, new rom etc etc but i thought i'd check here first.

brand new S3 will not root

i just got this S3 four days ago, as my other got dropped one too many times. i decided now was a good time to root for the first time. i follow all the instructions step by step in the post listed below, i get all the desired screen results, it tells me its successful, yet when i open titanium backup root, it tells me it could not acquire root privileges. I've ran it several times, EXACTLY like the steps show, and get the EXACT results as he says i should... but nothing.

i tried to post on that thread, because there are a few post at the very end that are identical to my issues, but it told me i didn't have permission to post there. that i needed at least 10 post to do so... which was rather odd, as the last person that posted only had 7 post. anyway, any help would be great. i have spent hours hunting to find resolution to this problem, but have found nothing and would REALLY like to root finally.

SMS/MMS CM issues

In the past I've had trouble with receiving MMS messages in the stock Messaging app from TouchWiz devices while on a CM based ROM where the MMS shows up as a slide show and basically flashes the text and photo and closes out almost instantly. Is that still an issue with current CM based roms?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Your device won't root correctly using that method. You need to use a real traditional root method. Since you have a new device you need to use one of the new recoveries for these new devices. If you follow the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34579827

You will have success.

Noob-ish Question

I am not new to rooting and using custom ROM's. But I am new to this forum, even though I have used the guides and so on before. This is my Question and it is probably really dumb. So I put on the AVATAR ROM. Is there some easy way to locate info and how to's on it? I don't really feel like asking questions in endless posts if there is an easy way to find guides or info on the theming aspect of this ROM and read them. I tried the site but it wasn't really helpful because it just says "Error establishing a database connection" every time i try to visit it. I got it to load the suggestion portion of the site once but that...anyway who cares. Yeah I found a few posts but the links go to the site which...doesn't load. After typing this out I feel like I am just being lazy...o'well no reason to waste the energy I used to type it now. :rolleyes:

WiFi hotspot

so once again, i've found a thread on the issue at hand, but i cannot post in it... ugggg....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2224083

first time ever to root a phone. for only one reason, so i could wifi hotspot the few times i need it when i'm out in the field working and need (want) to use my tablet instead of the tiny screen on my phone. i install sound systems and now and then i need to look something up about a product for a customer. anyway, on the advice of edfunkycold i followed the directions on the following page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011491

and was able to root my phone successfully. at this point at least, i have no intentions of doing anything but keeping my phone stock (although i would like to learn how to delete some of the bloatware that came on my sprint gs3) and needing the wifi as mentioned.

reading through the post on the first link i mentioned, (actually found that page from a post edfunkycold told another user) they say to download the file, no problem, and then flash it to my phone. problem!!! im trying to figure out if flashing that wifi mod is the same thing i did when i rooted the phone, with oden???? being brand new at rooting, i just dont understand the terminology and everything i read on that thread, he was obviously talking to people that have done this for a while.

so i downloaded the file MD4 Odexed: http://tinyw.in/n75f MD5: 44f53d518b0963f6904a0960d5069cd8 but honestly have no idea what to do with it for sure.

as i said, all i want to do at this point is get the wifi hotspot working.

thanks for any help...

[HELP] Unable to restore/flash with TWRP or Odin

Gents and possible Ladies,

After wanting to root and flash roms for many months I've finally had the time to do so. With my Sprint L710 running stock JB 4.1.2 I wanted the MSL IOT (In Order To) open it up to other networks. Being unable to find a way to use the terminal getprop ril.MSL after rooting it and trying the Get My MSL app to no avail, I read that those methods only work on 4.1.1, making sense I flashed to lj7 and attempted such things finding I couldn't access the data profile ##DATA# as instructed by numerous sources. *NOTE* Before flashing the rom I backed up everything as much as possible w/o going overboard. I currently have a Nandroid backup, TRWP backup, full system+apps Ti Backup, and I have back ups of those backups on my pc.

My issue is when trying to use TRWP to restore it's backup or to attempt to do anything such as wipe, backup, restore, the device auto restarts into recovery mode w/o completing anything, I've even tried applying update from stock recovery to no avail. I tried install CWM via Odin and it fails. Tried restoring Nandroid backup via Nandroid Manager it also reboots into the stock recovery, tried using NM recovery and got an error. I could keep going on, as you can see I've attempted many things on my own and now I'm reaching out. Clearly something is wrong or I missed a crucial step somewhere. *Note* lj7 is also rooted. Is there something I need to be doing in the stock recovery? I've tried flashing/installing/recovering the files I have from there and it fails. I'd like to get back to MC3 so I can flash to PAC-Man ROM.

Helpful guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Update: Was able to successfully install SPH-L710_MC3_1095534_Stock_Restore via Odin to get to MC3. Will attempt to root and obtain MSL as originally planned, then on to installing PAC-man.

Update 2: Looks like obtaining MSL on mc3 is going to be a bit harder than I expected. Successful root, attempted twrp backup and still have the same issue as in lj7, it just reboots into stock recovery. Are there any other steps I need to be taking when installing trwp other than rooting? Much thanks.

flashing with custom recovery

Edfunkycold,

Thanks for the reply, but i am so new at this I'm not sure this is making sense to me, and i sure dont want to jack my phone, as i use it for my business. I guess the one thing im not understanding is, "use cwm or twrp to flash zip"... how do i use them, i have cwm. So, i have a couple questions...

1. To flash it in custom recovery, am i going to go through the steps below that i did to flash this file when rooting? Although i would be looking for the MD4 Odexed file instead of "TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip?

2. Is there some kind of training post on this very thing that perhaps im missing? Once you pointed me to this correct rooting procedure for my particular S3, it was very easy. The only thing i ran into that i honestly didn't know what to do, and it wasnt clear about was when i came to a choice of cwm or twrp, so i just took a chance and chose cwm since i had seen it mentioned more. I honestly have no idea the difference, although i intend to learn.

Last night after posting i found "wifi tether treve mod", installed it and it works, although i would still like to try this other one because after stopping the treve mod, i cant turn my normal wifi back on without rebooting my phone.

3. Is there any tutorials that explain what bloatware i can remove, and how to do it?

By the way, my S3 has 4.1.2

May be some crazy questions, but im wanting to learn,

Thanks for your time...

1) yes minus removing ur battery.

2) cwm ( clockwork mod) and twrp (team win recovery project) are both custom recoveries and are good to use. It's really just ur preference. ..I use twrp for now. But have gone back to cwm many times.

3) yes there are you just have to search around. I've read one not long ago but really can't remember where it's at....If I come across it I'll post it for ya.

No. Real easy...

1. Power phone off

2. Hold at the same time power+home+vol up buttons

3. This will get you into whatever custom recovery you have.

4. Find the zip I gave you md4 iao

5. Flash the zip

6. Reboot system your done.

To get TWRP to install properly GooManager is the easier way I've found to work for me.

-Install GooManager from the Play Store

-Grant Super User access

-Hit menu -> Select "Install OpenRecoveryScript"

-It'll as you to confirm

-It'll confirm the device you have, with a Sprint GS3 the proper code is d2spr, double check that and endure it's correct. If correct select yes.

-GooManager will then download and install TWRP.

-From GooManager's main menu select Reboot recovery, device will then reboot into TWRP allowing you to utilize all of it's features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
His recovery is being overwritten at boot by the stock recovery because he has lost root access while returning to older versions of software. Once you flash the custom recovery on your phone via Odin you CAN NOT ALLOW IT TO Reboot, pull the battery disconnect the phone from the computer. At this point reinstall the battery and boot into custom recovery power + vol up + home button at the same time. Now when in TWRP you need to flash the TEAM EPIC ROOT ZIP at this point. Now you are properly rooted. Now you can create your backups.

The stock system and kernel are designed to overwrite any thing at boot. So every time you put twrp on and you did what you did once it booted it was overwritten.

Have a great day!
