I think I tried to flash a recovery if that's what cf auto root chain fire is. It actually wrote to about the halfway mark on the status bar and after sitting there for 15 minutes I gave up (instructions all said it should take like 30 seconds). After trying a few more ROMS (none worked) the phone stopped powering up at all. Not sure if it's because the battery is dead or if I broke it for good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewwright:
No cf is not a recovery. Did you unplug it before flash had finished? If so yes its a brick now. Plug the phone into a charger and leave. See if it charges and also if it boots up anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wnoonan:
The first time I tried to flash a new rom I let it sit for about 3 hours and the progress bar never moved. I figured it wasn't working. After that I never waited more than 15 minutes before unplugging and rebooting. I left it charging overnight so I haven't checked the battery yet this am. I guess I need to go read up on what a recovery rom is and how to go through that process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewwright:
Never never unplug before it says pass in Odin. See if it powers up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wnoonan:
How long should one wait? Everything I have read seems to be 15 minutes or so. It also seemed that if it's not working, unplug it, reset the phone and try another cable. I couldn't figure out a way to do that without unplugging it. :(

I'll check the power momentarily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewwright:
15mins for firmware to flash. Recovery and cf auto root take SEC's to flash and pass.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wnoonan:
OK, it's been plugged into the wall for the last 6+ hours. Battery is cold as the house and no power. I suspect that after literally dozens of attempts to flash it, it's broken for good.

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 AM ----------

That's what I thought, which is why I unplugged it during the various different attempts of using different ROM images, USB cables, USB ports and PC's...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewwright:
JTAG service may fix this "very doubtful" or mother board replacement. Sorry mate its dead. One last hope...samsung warranty? Do you have one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wnoonan:
Nah, it's been out of warranty for a long time. Truth is, I was pretty close to just getting a GS5 anyway as this phone is old, out of space and for the last 2-3 months has left a lot to be desired. This just makes that an easier decision. lol.

Thanks again to everyone for their advice and assistance. I really do appreciate it. :good:

Hey guys i have a serious question. I dont know what else to do. Im not an advance person in the whole mobile development but i do know how to root phones and roms using odin. So i have a sprint 32gb galaxy s3 (white) rooted. Had it for a while and simply forgot it was rooted, so i got a update and i accepted and everything was working fine. So i decided to do a factory reset using the menu settings due do some apps with to many ads. so after it was reset i started re downloading my apps, signing in to my accounts and noticed i no longer had root access. So why not just re root it right? i asked my self. and so i tried and it fail. I never had it failed before so i tried again a few more times. After a few more failures i googled my problem to see what has gone wrong. And i thought i had bricked my phone. So i simple tried a guide to unbrick it. And came across this website HERE:

www . creadevandroid . com/restore-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-stock-factory-settings-unbrick-unroot-verizon-cdma

I followed the steps NOT NOTICING it was for the "Verizon" version and i flashed it on odin took about 20 to 30 minutes which i thought was odd. plus the file was about 779 MBs. but it also failed. So i exited out download mode and restarted my phone but now the Verizon 4G LTE boot appears. and it just loops and loops over n over. So i tried to find a Sprint Stock Recovery to see if that would reset it back to sprint version on odin and it passed. BUT the verizon boot its comes up and it wont load just loops. So i tried flashing different sprint stock recovery and they all pass but still the same verizon loop boot. What should i do. Is there any threw that might help me. Thank you in advance :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
You do not (just) need to reload the stock recover, you need to reload a sprint ROM. If you are able to get into download mode and run Odin you are still ok. The best bet would probably be to load a full ODIN image and get back to stock. I would suggest the version you can get here. Load this with Odin and you should be fully back to stock.

Edit: The link in the OP of the thread that I listed is dead. Refer to this page and you can get a copy of the Odin image here.

This thread is too damn funny like watching the blind lead the blind. Even most of the people answering questions seem to have never used the search bar before. And it seems the majority of people who post here wait all of 4 or 5 minutes before posting in the q-a anyway. That being said read a little before you brick your phone. Pay attention that was an epic fold. Heres a link to the unbrick files you need prerooted for your convience

phone as usb or network drive

On my previous phones, i have been mounting them as usb drives to backup the files. I then use a handy program called syncbackse to synchronize the files. That worked great (except i had to buy it to get real synchronization). I figured out how to do it on the gs3 using samba file-sharing. It is working, but it's very slow. I let it run overnight, and after 8 hours, it's still backup up my 25 gb of external data.

Any one know of another solution to mount (usb or network) both internal and external sd cards? How about a good Windows speed test?

Goodness jb-hotspothack.zip??????

I'm running Goodness 4.0 rom on my Sprint SGS3. I noticed in the Rom Updater menu under Bug Fixes that theres a zip called "Hotspot Hack". When you download it it gives you a file called "jb_hotspothack". I of course thought that was going to fix the JB hotspot issue but when I flash it nothing happens. At least not from what I can tell. Can anyone explain to me this is. Your response is greatly appreciated.

No

Yes it can be rooted/custom recovery (I have both)

Zero except for trying to make a warranty claim, but it didn't effect mine at all. In sure if you sent it to Sammy they would definitely check, I think that's the main reason for Knox, for them to have to replace less devices.

If you don't want Knox, I'd wait a few days until [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] or another smart dev has the Knox free version of KK out like there is for 4.3. If you want to update, go with CNexus's 4.3 for now(Knox free) until he cracks 4.4. That way you won't EVER have to worry about Knox and can move freely with rooting, CWM, custom roms, etc, without tripping the Knox counter. Just a thought :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TechInSpace:
Already got the count in one, and what's the matter with knox?

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Disregard then :). Some love it, others, not so much. I particularly don't like the fact that if I have Knox I'm no longer able to downgrade bootloaders. One of the benefits of having root is being able to do whatever you want to your phone and make it to your specific liking. Knox prevents this "total" customization option. Of course, this is just my humble opinion and I'm sure there are much smarter guys here than me who may disagree.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TechInSpace:
So, if I install that update won't be able to do root?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
That blows. Is there anything mind blowing in 4.4 worth taking Knox for? And yes remote, it does matter. With Knox you can't change bootloaders without voiding your warranty. If you're beyond your warranty anyway, no worries. If you're inside the year like I am, I'll probably just stay on the mk5 I made.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Not worth voiding your warranty for. But anybody that doesn't have one or doesn't care I definitely recommend it to.

Thanks man! One last question. I have to DeKNOX my phone for this to work, right? I have am using this guide but it does not state.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
The link I sent will install Knox into your phone, period. You can run the Deknox zip after, but it won't change the fact you still have the Knox boot loader, will only delete the Knox apps(it's like a Knox debloater).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CamCroz99:
Yes, I know that I already had KNOX installed on my phone. I was just wondering if I had to DeKNOX it because some people were having issues with Superuser.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Flashing this tar will wipe you clean(internal, flash MK5 4.3 boot loader, modem, stock roms, the works. From there you can root easily. It's the stock deodex/odex zips I made that required a bit more "massaging" to get root to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CamCroz99:
Flashing the KNOX boot loader over the existing one will not brick my phone right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
You are on 4.3 boot loader, and flashing to a 4.3 boot loader, so I would venture to say no, it would not. I've read of several people flashing this, with and without Knox. You just can't downgrade, but as with everything brother, flash at own risk :)

I have rooted sucessfully but I can not get WiFi thethering to work. It is "not supported" on this phone according to VM. But its exactly the same as the Sprint version which does have thethering. I have tried several apps from the Play Store but they all give me an error. What would I have to do to get free thethering?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Boost and VM do not support it. However, I did find a solution. Wifi tether router, costs about a buck on Play store, and use these settings:

Interface wlan0

Method 3 - HostApd

Channel 1

Encryption wpa2-psk

Drivers nl80211

"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECKED

Once it enables, turn your wifi back on(enabling it initially will turn it off). Not sure why, but it has to be on to get the tether to work. It may take a few times to figure it out but it does work

1 I did search and the results were all over the place. Prboably because I am not sure how to phrase my search. Anyways...

I was on Cyanogen when it went down the d2lte road and I never had reliable 4g\3g data connections again. After giving it weeks and weeks of trying the latest nightly and the M snapshots, and going back and for with a stock sprint ROM to refresh PRLs and APNs I have given up.

So I am on the Sprint Stock ROM, I've got 4g, consistently, YEAH!. But I am on call this weekend and need wireless hotspot, and my phone is a little less snappy than I was on Cyanogen, I also can't get Google Now to come up by holding down the menu key. I installed themer thinking it would override that issue and fix it but it didn't.

So can anyone recommend a snappy ROM with hotspot and a menu button that triggers Google now?

As far as i know I am still rooted and with the touch recovery and should be able to just wipe and install. My next step is to find out how to tell if I am still rooted and I'll post any details I find here.

Thanks.

No 4G LTE Data, or MMS

I have a Sprint totally stock on Straight Talk. I can't get Data, or MMS to work. It will text and make calls. I can set it to 3G, and then everything works. When I type ##3282# and select edit I can check all the settings until I get to "LTE APN Settings" That section is black with nothing in it. I know I can get 4G LTE here because I have another stock Sprint S3 on straight talk, and everything mentioned works perfect on that phone. Under "LTE APN Settings" on the working phone it reads "n.t9.ispsn" Is there any way to set the APN? I tried "reset to default" but that does nothing. I've looked all over the internet, and these forums, but only seen the problems with custom roms, not stock. I don't believe this phone has ever has a custom rom, and it is not rooted. Any help would be appreciated, and if you solve the problem, I'd be more than happy to send you a 6pack, hell I'll even go feed a homeless guy in your honor.
