Yes it recognizes my phone. I get to the part of flashing where its says something about pit mapping then it fails

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

I've noticed that I'm on the version LJA and not LJC. Does that matter?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The current build shouldn't matter. Have you used any mods? Its probably gonns be difficult to help troubleshoot this one until I'm back on my computer.

I'm thinking its probably a driver issue. I really hope the pit mapoing isn't the cause of the failure.

Try flashing the stock deodexed UVDMD5 rom. Then try Odin again.

Also try uninstalling the driver, then plug the phone in and see if its detected. Then go to device manager, and it shoild be under usb devices or similar. Right click and see if you csnt uninstall that way. Then try a different drivrr version. Try the oldest I have first, then if needed try the latest.

Ill get back on as soon as I can to try to help you further.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThaGreatest:
It always fails after "Get PIT for mapping..". The latest mod I can think of was a while back which was the Google Wallet app installer which did it for you so you wouldn't have to change all the scripts and stuff.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I wonder.....

I know at one time to get wallet to work you had to basically trick it into thinking it was on a different phone. I don't think it would affect odin, but who knows.

Try flashing a stock rom, then try odin again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
This is the rom I was referring to.

Can I use these ROMs to revert back to stock from AOKP 4.2.2?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
Sorry for the noob questions, I couldn't remember if I could or not. Would you recommend Odin back to stock or is it okay to flash over recovery with a full wipe? Also, can I use Mobile instead of odin on computer? I bought that app a while back and have never used it.. hahaha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
No problem. Better to be safe if your not sure. You should be fine to flash a Rom w/o needing to Odin to stock first (unless you run into problems, then I highly suggest doing so). Going between aosp/cm and two based rooms though will require the full wipe (factory reset). Just remember if you have stock recovery installed, it will wipe your internal sd.

If you have not previously updated via Odin or OTA, MOBILE Odin will work but won't flash everything included in the firmware (done this way for safety). So if you are updating to get the latest firmware, use PC Odin.

Otherwise I always say use MO. You can even flash your roms and mods using it now! So unless you need a nandroid backup, there's almost no reason to need TWRP or CWM.

I love Mobile Odin Pro and definitely recommend reading the first few posts on its official xda page. Once you are comfortable with it it can make flashing really easy!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
Edit: NVM I can just read your instructions in post #2. I'll post a question if I get confused again. Thanks for your help Doc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
Hey doc,

Does this look about right? I extracted the zip file since it said it wasn't an OTA update.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I don't see a UVDMD5 OTA on your OP. I only see it as a firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Looks good man! Flash happy!

Don't forget to select everroot since that's not the root66 fw. But otherwise you are good to go.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krntehknik303:
So I got it to flash. But now its stuck at the Samsung logo... was wondering if it was necessary to wipe dalvik before... I thought it would be okay to do it after since that's what was stated in your instructions in post #2.

Edit: I got it to boot up passed the samsung logo after I did a factory reset on stock recovery. I'm assuming that I probably should have wiped dalvik cache/cache?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hanging at boot is almost always solved by factory resetting so you went the right course there. This happens when you have incompatible data left from the previous Rom, especially if it was cm or aosp based. Just wiping dalvik wouldn't have done the job most likely.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Not yet, I've asked mrRobinson to make sure he knows they were released (which he probably already did)

I'd say give it a few days, but they will get done.

In the meantime, if you happen to have Mobile Odin Pro, and are rooted, you can use it to flash and inject root to the currently available firmware.

Also, if I get the time this weekend I may make some simple deodexed roms for you guys to mess with. No promises, but I'll try to get around to it.

Quick question...I just got the t999L, wondering the proper root method to not trip the counter. I know I can use motochopper, but I'd prefer to flash a rooted stock tar if possible. I see those here, but only for the t999, none for the t999L. My understanding is that if I flash one of these, I will wind up with the wrong modem and no service.

A bit of searching led me to http://sourceforge.net/projects/d2ltetmo/. Is this the full (unrooted) tar?

I will happily use motochopper to initially gain root provided I have a way to get back to 100% stock.

how to flash, remove T-Mobile bloat, then remove root?

These root66 are stock T-Mobile ROMs so will have all the T-Mobile bloat just like my current ROM?

I just want a clean smooth ROM without root.

Thanks.

nevermind, problem solved...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sorry, don't know how I didn't see you had posted here. But yes if that's what you want, you can do it that way. Before you unroot, don't forget to use TiB to clean dalvik cache.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Globespy:
Got it.

Flash via Odin.

Remove crap using TiB.

Boot into recovery installed as part of the ROM - or do I have to do this myself after flashing rooted ROM? Or can i wipe caches without installing custom recovery? This part I'm a little confused by.

Clean cache and dalvik.

Remove root - best suggestions on how to do this without tripping T-Mobile flash warning?

Welcome to debloated stock ROM that no one could ever tell had been tampered with.

Right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
After debloating, you could just do a Factory Reset, but it will wipe out your internal sd as well as any apps and data. You can get a cache cleaner from the store and just use it instead.

To remove root, just go to SuperSU settings and select unroot. It will do the rest.

You will be able to tell its been tampered with though. Once you debloat, the device Staus in Settings will most likely say Modified. If it does you can unroot and try factory resetting from Stock Recovery, but I'm not even sure that would work.

Just curious, I understand debloating, but why is it so important to be unrooted abd all of that? If you ever had to return it and they looked theyd easily see it isn't stock.

Hey guys, I have a n00b question. I'm trying to go back to stock so that I can give my phone to my mom.

Hey Doc,

Sorry to ask a dumb question but any clue as to and if we might be getting a firmware update? Kinda tempted to load another ROM but prefer official stuff. Thanks in advance bud.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Any and all answers to this question are 100% speculation. So your guess is as good as mine. All I know is to expect it sometime before Christmas, though this is still speculation. The main reason we are going straight to 4.3 is for compatibility with upcoming Samsung devices such as the Gear smartwatch. They will sell a whole lot more if they can advertise its compatibility with the S3. But it still has to go through T-Mobile...

Could be next week, could be February....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mohan_kr:
4.3..I am trying to see if it is safe to flash a recovery..so I can extract the partitions..yeah damn knox and SELinux enforcing..is there a partition table for the t999 s3, somewhere handy...yeah its coming for sure..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Qverse:
What a tease :victory:

I cant believe it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Well, certainly interesting! May I ask how you got this? The partition layout can be found in KAsp3rd's debrick thread stickied next to this one.

If you want help trying to pull it off the phone, shoot me a PM. If possible, we should try to pull the recovery before flashing over it. If we can it'll be nice to know we at least have it! If you can gain root though I have several ways of getting everything off of there.

Try the Motochopper exploit to gain root first. They may have patched against it, but if not, it's the only way I know of to root the phone without needing to flash over recovery.

If it comes down to it, the recoveries we have should work just fine. It's still a T999 after all! I would be extremely surprised if they booby trapped it to not work just due to a custom recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mohan_kr:
Yeah, that's the problem. I cannot pull the stock recovery (chicken and egg), since don't have the FW to flash back. It is a test phone already installed with 4.3. Yes, the drjbliss exploit (motochopper) patched or not cannot be used because of SELinux enforcing policy (yeah only 2 or 3 apps have the write permissions to the graphics device, the exploit). Trying to see, if somehow get the f/w itself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Try ADB while booted in recovery. You may need the universal ADB drivers installed. You can find them on my Sig.

Try these commands,

adb devices (To check if it's connected)

adb pull /system c:\T999_43_sys_pull\

Then try adb shell...

adb shell (should start and confirm you are connected via shell service or something to that effect)

su ($ should change to # indicating root access)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/T999_43_sys_dump.img b.s.=4096

If it works it should dump the partition to an img file on the internal sdcard.

If it doesn't work in recovery, try in download mode also.

If anyone sees any mistakes in my commands, please correct me. Going by memory.

I can use the dumped image to create an Odin flashable version of the system partition. I can create a Rom from the files obtained by the pull.

I can pull off both with either one of course, it's just two ways to try and accomplish this.

It's a Samsung device and it is part of their UAT.

But UAT means, Samsung has done it's part, its upto the carriers to release it.

I can get the system dump, if that is useful, but something that would not be flashable though..

Do you have the sdk/adb on.your computer? If so I can tell you how to do the system pull which would be very useful. If not, I may be able to still use the dump file.
