Thanks for the update and recommendation. Lol I didnt realize i was so far behind on the S3 scene.. I figured development was slowing down back when I gave up, I stopped at a buggy rom too ugh It had a myriad of annoyances.

That particular sentence is over my head.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jedgina:
Exactly what i was looking for thank you very much.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
D2lte is the build of cm you said you were using. D2lte was the title given to the builds of roms unified for all u.s. s3's. D2 stands for S3 (sounds weird, its the name of the board inside). But they are no longer unified so now there is D2spr (sprint), D2att, d2tmo, d2vzw and so on. Just letting you know there are no newer d2lte builds. If you want new, search for d2spr. Hope that clears it up a little and didn't make it more confusing, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] anycolouryoulike:
Thanks. That makes sense! This is the first time i'm realizing there are different versions of the S3, hardware wise. I'll be sure to look in my particular group.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zephyrus2112:
hey thanks for the reply . i looked into to the rom amd now i will be setting up adb/sdk and the wireles for my phone being that the usb don't work .

thanks agian to everyone that has responded to my post .

zephyrus
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
You shouldn't need adb. If you have an sd card you can just pop that in your PC and transfer the files. Or download the files right to your phone. Adb/sdk are completely unnecessary.

I have a GT-I8190 (s3 mini) and I am running CyanogenMod 12.1. I want to go back to my stock ROM but I see in some forums that you can do it with Samsung kies but is it safe to do it. Please help me I searched everywhere
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zephyrus2112:
rom and a hard place

that good news i was not really ready to take on learning that just yet.

went to the phone place that repairs phones but don't do programing ect asked them about my usb port on the s3

he said that if it charges there's nothing wrong with the port . i purchased a new usb cable for data and charging but the computer still don't recognize the phone i have tried many things to figure it out but to no avail .

if anyone has any ideas plz anything at this point anything will help. i will be reading about wireless connection here on the xda boards tonight.

thanks zephyrus2112
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marti2003:
Can I update a an SIII mini (GT-I8190) through Kies?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Not if its rooted with custom recovery. Download the .tar of the updated firmware for your phone from the forum here or sammobile.com . then use odin to install it.

Better off asking in the s3 mini forum. This is the s3 forum. They are very different phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Khelsier:
Hi!

My sister in law gave me an SGS3 that apparently has no O.S. but I'm not entirely sure. It can enter into recovery mode. And what not but I wanted to know how I could add a ROM, honestly any, so I could use it with cricket or sprint. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Is it a sprint s3? All the s3's are very different. Sprint is sph-L710. And if it is, it can't be used on cricket. You have to know the model number.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Khelsier:
Yes it is sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
For a fully restored phone, you need odin on your computer. Then follow this

It will restore your phone to new. But you still need to know the model number first. There are 2 different sprint s3's. There is sph-L710 and sph-L710t. The t makes it a triband and the files and roms are different. You have to check model first. It's under the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Khelsier:
SPH-L710 no t

If possible could you go step by step?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
this is pretty good instructions. The file in that thread will work fine as well. You just need Odin. There are links everywhere.

Odin

Hi. I'm a lil familier with flashing roms. S4. Droid maxx /mini. I'm looking into this for a friend. What are my options and relevant threads for rooting and unlocking bootloader and custom roms if available. Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Rooting is exactly the same as the S4 (Odin TWRP, flash SUPERSU zip), no need to unlock bootloader (as it's not locked), custom ROMs are in the Android Development and Original Development sub threads.

after update to 4.4.2, wifi antenna will not turn on

Hello. I'm new to xda, and to rooting. When my device updated to 4.4.2, the wifi antenna stopped turning on. I rooted and flashed philz, using this helpful guide, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2787771. Thanks for that btw! Now, my device is rooted and I have SuperSU installed and running.

How can I fix this? Install a custom ROM or kernel ( I don't really know what this means btw! :eek:)?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again :D

Hello

I've been flashing roms on my TF700T for a while now, but I'm a noob to S3 flashing and this is my first post. With the recent RingPlus promos, I've blown the dust off the pair of L710Ts that I have and activated them with RP. Of course, now I have to play with roms.

I have the triband L710T (Sprint) on OH1 baseband. In the past week. I went from stock, to stock rooted 4.4.2, to Team OctOS Oct-L M5 5.1.1 stable (not weeklies) found here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/rom-team-octos-oct-l-t3033797

Excellent ROM from a team that is actually supporting the triband S3. Good for daily use, I have not ran into any bugs yet.

I do wish someone would find a way to get Android Pay on rooted phones. I tried a couple of the Xposed options but they don't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jkharris1979:

noob question

Hey all. Umm ive googled this a bunch of times and all I keep finding is verizon unlocks. I currently have sprint and I have a galaxy s3 but I want to go back to apple I dont have an upgrade til 2015 the sprint buy back program is a complete scam they offer 120$ for my phone and I still have to pay full price for the iphone. Is there a way to unlock the galaxy s3 and put it for verizon ? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cbass15:
For one why is your contract 3 years? Yes you can flash it to Verizon. I could be wrong but won't Verizon do it for you?

Oh and I was mistaken its 2014 sorry lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Never seen a successful flash to verizon, as its just not gona happen. Best you could do is probably forcing roaming on a verizon prl.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] milky1112:
Im sure you could possibly flash over. However 4G is outta the question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kenjari:
Hey What's up.

I just want to post a NOOB question to get some clarification.

Background: I know what rooting is. I know how to flash Rom, Kernels, themes, and I'm very familiar with adb, and fastboot.

However, here is my inquiry. I'm use to performing all of these things on HTC phones which I know is the very basic principle with android phones. SGIII is my first Samsung phone. I rooted it the other day (two days after I bought it). I'm coming from an Evo OG, and Evo 3D. I'm a fan of MIUI but wouldn't dare use on SG3 because LTE is coming to my area and I need the 4G.

In the development thread...I see all the developers with their Roms. However, In the title I'm a seeing [LJ7]. What is exactly does this refer to? I notice that the baseband of my phone has those three digits in it. Most Roms I see refer to a three variable in its title. Most of them have LJ7 but others have LI6 (or something of that nature).

Does this refer to Sprint Roms in particular? Should I be precautions of what I flash if it doesn't pertain to my baseband or company version(sprint)?

I flashed Blaze Rom last night because it was LJ7. So far I'm liking it. Very much stock with extra features.

Thanks in advance for the response. And BTW, if there is a wiki on SG3 and you know the direction just point me to that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
LJ7 is the latest version of the Rom and firmware released for the Sprint version of the gs3. You will want to avoid any Rom not intended for the Sprint version. Flashing a non Sprint Rom is the quickest way to brick tour phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kenjari:
Great so as long as I see the latest version [LJ7] on the title I'm okay to flash away.... right?

Second, what happens if a newer sprint build comes out? I'm certain there is away to upgrade right?

Lastly, what about Cynogen Mod 10. I don't think that's off limit. I seen the tutorial on how to flash it. Should I follow that or avoid that?

Thanks again for the reply.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
It'll probably flip out on you; odexed apks are meant to stay in that environment and play nicely there, and only there.

Most likely get a package not signed correctly or not install period.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

If its a tw rom, developers will build off that latest ota ; if you want stock then yout basically flash stock recovery, unroot > reroot.

As far as cm 10, you flash it like any other rom: full wipe > flash rom > flash gapps for aosp > flash kernel / other goodies [optional] > reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hupo224:

Really? My relatively easy question can't be answered?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Because its too damn vague. Want to list some examples maybe. Or explain what you mean by" won't flash"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
Post more. You need a certain number of posts. It's listed in the rules somewhere.

Or what you've already tried. Or the steps you're using to flash. Or what's happening after you flash. Or what (if any) errors you're getting while flashing.

We're not opposed to helping others in this thread, but we need a certain amount of information in order to tell what's wrong.

If you were newer, I'd guess you didn't wipe, but somehow were able to dirty flash between TW ROMs without causing problems. Since you've been here a while, I'll assume that's not the case, meaning that we can't solve your problem without more information.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hupo224:
Understood. I'll post more when I get to my pc later. Basically it just immediately says fail. I been restoring my backup after the multiple attempts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Still not enough. Does it say "update failed..."and nothing else?

or "Status 7"

or

"assert failed (getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2spr"

|| getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2spr"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
@Hupo :

1 - updated failed > corrupted zip > re-download, flash again

2- status 7 > bad build prop > flash generally goes through

3 - bad build prob > incorrect device labeled > edit then replace

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
That's very old, and for boost and virgin Mobile, and its not a .tar file for odin. That's a .zip file. If you're doing things like that, its probably why your WiFi won't turn on. Do you have the triband?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtreemgreen:
I havae 2 s3's currently on stock 4.4.2 and for the life of me I cant get TWRP to stick via Odin. As soon as it reboots and I reboot back to recovery, its back to the stock recovery. Im using samsung tool kit and Odin together. I cant get either phone to stick to TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
You have to boot directly to recovery after flash. If you boot sytem, it will over write with stock recovery. After odin completes, pull the battery. Then boot to recovery, power+home+volume up. Twrp fixes it so it won't re write stock recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtreemgreen:
Ok. I will try pulling the battery. The rom I want recommend Philz so I will try that 1 next.

Anyone know how to repair a charging port?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Any rom recommending philz is waaaay outdated. Twrp will work much, much better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtreemgreen:
Well my test s3 decided not to work on the charger port anymore. So 1/2 through Odin it stopped making contact. Now when I power it on I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.. So now I have to get the port fixed before I can do anything else.

Now when I odin TWRP and reboot into TWRP the first time, So I can sideload supersuer or install the permanent recovery fix. There are no files. All you see are folders and nothing inside of them. Even the folders I see on my computer, I dont see in TWRP... So Im at a total loss... After I reboot to android and then try to boot back to TWRP, its back to stock recovery again...

EDIT:: I just tried Philz recovery and it worked like a charm... I even made a back up of my stock ROM..

EDIT#2:: Everything went great... Im now running Wicked X on my test phone...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
You need the latest twrp ,2.8.7.0 or 2.8.7.1. Also if you are on virgin or boost and can't get twrp to mount data, lrs121 has a twrp that is built specifically for vm/boost.

twrp for virgin and boost s3

And are you checking internal or external storage in twrp?

(Philz is dead and isn't recommended on any newer roms) fine on wicked though, that's pretty old.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's not that old [emoji13] ... it is the latest updated TW ROM even though I've had another phone for a year now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Didn't mean for it sound like a knock, I used it for a long time. I just meant its from around the same time as philz. Wicked is tops. I wish this phone would have gotten lollipop officially, so we could have lollipop tw roms. Your work has me eyeing the s4 as my next move.

Hello you wonderful people. I've been looking all over for how to upgrade a Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy SIII SCH-S960L to KitKat 4.4 (or better) from 4.1.2. Even here I've not found much. I don't know anything really about rooting and flashing phones, though I am familiar with updating firmware on other things. As I understand it, I need a new ROM for this phone, and nobody has one. Is that right? I've also seen that I can use a basic Sprint ROM for a similar phone and change some settings, but I can't seem to find more than that. Once I find out it's possible to do, I don't mind digging further into how it's actually done. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me the best idea on what to do?

Yes you probably do have to flash if the official update isnt there. Start with Odin, maybe? Odin is a rooting tool for all Samsung devices. I'm a bit of a newb too on flashing
