Please don't yell at me. :) I have a feeling this may be considered "stupid", or "newbie", but this is the tool I used to Root the phone (great tool!!!) and I've never had to do what I now need to do on my wife's phone. Please help me?

Samsung Galaxy (SPH-L710) S3

Factory ROM w/TouchWiz

Android Jelly Bean v4.1.2 Rooted

GooManager/TWRP Recovery

Okay, what's happening now, is that an OTA came out, which has been prompting for install. I assume it's probably JB v4.3.

The first time it prompted on her phone, I wasn't sure what to do, but I told it to go ahead and install. It rebooted, but brought up the TWRP Custom Recovery Menu. I told it to Reboot to System, thinking it might continue on from there and then maybe I'd have to Root it again and reinstall TWRP, but it just booted up to the normal Home Screen.

So maybe I have to somehow uninstall TWRP and UnRoot it first and then wait for the OTA to prompt me again?

Is that right? If so, how do I do that the right way please? Maybe even just a link?

Or is there a way to continue the process with TWRP/Rooted? Or maybe how to UnRoot it and then do it with TWRP?

I looked to see if the OTA left a Zip, or Tar file to utilize, but I did not see one.

I am technical enough to follow instructions well and Root and install stuff like Xposed, etc., if all the steps are there. And I have helped others whenever possible, both on forums and in person, just so you know I'm not a "help leech, taking and never giving back"). But I've just never had to go backward before, ya know? And so of course I'm afraid to brick it or something. And being disabled, I can't go anywhere (a store where they sell them and maybe one of the clerks know) and I don't know anyone personally who can come to me and also knows more than me.

So the Internet is my only hope. And maybe I was just too stupid to find it, but I couldn't. I figure I can use the same basic concept for my phone (Note II) also. I need to know the right way for my phone too, because in my condition, it is the only computing device I can physically use regularly and so, I do everything (including running my entire LAN) from it! :)

Would someone please be kind enough to help me, please? Either in here, or if it's better to go thru email, that would be fine too.

I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting it (I don't think so, but apologies if I am), but my email address (solely used for forum accounts) is as follows:

Thank you all, for all of your patience with me! I really appreciate it!!! And I mean that! You guys in this forum were absolutely fantastic to me the last time too!

Zeus,

I think it's the 4.3 bootloader that is giving you issues.

Try this method to upgrade:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zeuszoos:
Thank you for taking the time to respond and to provide me with a link!

Question: I did read what you provided. Am I correct in assuming that this says that it's the 'Stock ROM", because it's (for lack of a better way to put it) the "Non-Manufacturer, just regular Android" ROM?

I.e., It's not "Samsung's ROM".

Am I correct? Or did I stupidly miss something that says it is Samsungs version of Android JB v4.3?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tbudke:
I'm installing on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 aka D2Spr aka SPH-L710 and I seem to keep having the same problems. When I installed this on my S4 or when I rooted my brother S4 I never had any of these problems. I follow all the steps, Step By Step but when it reboots I'm stuck with and unrooted device. The same goes for when I flash a tar in ODIN that should be making my phone into a rooted phone but it always says to me that SuperSU is not installed and I do not have root. I'm getting to a point where I'm frustrated and disappointed. Even when I use the Auto root from this thread and the red android pops up it says "Installing Recovery" but when it is all said and done I am brought back to the default Android recovery and I just can not seem to find what it is I'm doing wrong. I'm almost entirely certain I haven't missed anything. Any suggestions or help would be so greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you are someone who is willing to help me or could possibly point me in the right direction. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you. Happy Holidays and I hope all of you are having a less irritating day! haha :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
I just used this CF-Auto-Root method on my friends phone, which had Stock 4.3 and everything goes as it's mentioned in the thread. However, when booting into Android it says there are no SuperSU privileges. What's going wrong here? Am I missing a step?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Avivator:
I got a similar issue, it works fine but I believe Samsung worked in some security. SU would force stop and a little pop up notification would come up saying "unauthorized access" was stopped on my phone and forced me to update the security policy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
Yeah, he gets the same message but we don't update the security policy. We just press "Cancel".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
I used this method and after some hurdles it looked like everything was going smoothly. I ran SuperSU and it said it successfully disabled Knox. I was able to open SuperSU and I was able to grant access to apps that require root access.

However, after rebooting I get this error when I try to run SuperSU: "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped."

At this point the apps that were previously granted root access run fine but any new app that requires root access just hangs as it tries to acquire root.

Now if I reinstall SuperSU I can run it normally and grant root access to new apps again. But as soon as I reboot I'm back to getting the "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped" error and can't grant root access to new apps. And the cycle never ends.

I don't want to have to reinstall SuperSU every time I reboot. Any suggestions for making SuperSU stick so I don't have to keep rebooting/reinstalling?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
At least you got that far. We get the same error message from the beginning. I think he gave up trying so he let it go. I don't think we can go back to older versions and start over, it'll brick the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
Rooting by the method in this thread will trip your Knox warranty bit. If you don't want to do that you might want to give this technique a shot, it claims to root you without voiding your warranty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiZ7D2zjJdA. I don't really care about the warranty but I wish I would have tried that method first, just for the sake of preserving the warranty.

Have you tried to uninstall/reinstall SuperSU?

Did you flash a custom recovery or are you still on stock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
No, he's still on stock. And the SuperSU just disappears for some reason.

The SafeRoot looks easy but I cannot find the file anywhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] girron:
Everything goes through I see the red Android but when I download SuperSU from Google Play and open it says there is no Su Binary
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegameksk:
Hi all. Im a little confused. I have a gs 3 SPH-L710 running Android 4.1.2. Will this method work on my phone and not trip knox? If not, can anyone point me where I need to go? Ive done some searching and havent found anything. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
I believe if you're on 4.1.2 you don't need this method. If you need to root just use the regular rooting method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegameksk:
Regular rooting method? Will it trip knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wolfsv:
4.1.2 was before Knox. Knox is released with 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
I don't think there were any knox with that version. Therefore, you're fine to root with the old method. You only need this method if you have updated to 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegameksk:
Where is this old version? I only find this one

edit: I found it. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
Right on! Good Luck!

Hey Chainfire can I use the full unroot feature in SuperSu Pro v1.93 to unroot my stock rooted mk2, then install the Nae ota update and finally use cf auto root to reroot my sprint galaxy s4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
do you mean what's listed in the second post is the "old version"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
Older method for rooting

No, the 2nd post is just the steps of what's explained in the 1st post.

The older method is the one before 4.3 and you can find it here:

or you can search for in the Spring GS3 General forum for other ways.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alemosman:
Would rooting with CF-Auto root trip Knox? If no thanks, If yes is there anyway one can root 4.3 without tripping knox?

The whole purpose of CF-Auto is rooting 4.3 without tripping Knox. There's no other way to root.

I tired on my Sprint SPH-l710 with the OTA 4.4.2 update. I ran oden v3.07 twice and it reported Pass. It went through erasing cache ect. and rebooted itself. All looks good but when I download SuperSU it says there is no SU binary installed. I verified root with root checker too and as you'd expect it says no root. I downloaded the supersu.zip to try and intall that from recovery but since it leave the stock recovery there is no option for that to happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
Did you Odin the supersu file right after you ran the CF-Auto tar file?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] carrera0to60:
No, How would I do that? The SU file I downloaded is a zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
Put the SU file on the SD card of your phone. Boot into Recovery and install the SU zip file selecting from the SD card. I would do a Dalvik/Data Caché wipe before rebooting the phone. Once done, go to your SuperSu in your Apps and run it again. This time it should go through. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] carrera0to60:
I'm thinking that I would be able to do that if I had something other than the stock recovery. The only options I have are to install update from various locations or clear cache and factory reset and reboot. If I select update from external storage and select the zip file it fails while verifying the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
You need to install one which are not supported on this thread. I personally like the PhilZ and here's the latest link:

Does this mean, in order for the GS3 with stock 4.4.2 (ND8) to work, I have to

1. Go through the process outline in the OP

2. Install the PhilZ recovery

3. Install SuperSU

TIA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No. You can skip CF-AutoRoot completely, Odin the stock ND8 tar, Odin the very latest Philz Touch Recovery, reboot into Philz and as last step, either:

Enter Philz' settings menu and choose re-root.

Or flash am already rooted ROM, whether ND8 based or other.

Hey,

I tried flashing a new kernal via Odin but my laptop switched off halfway through and now when I switch on my Galaxy S1 (i9000) it get's stuck at the Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung screen :(. I can't get it into recovery although I can access download mode and it is recognized in Odin:confused:. I think it should just be as simple as reflashing the PDA, MODEM and CSC file through Odin although If anyone can help me acquire these stock files or by using any other methods to restore my phone back to normal It'll be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
you can get from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions or use a rescue kit

But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back

Tips before Flashing:-

Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>

Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC

Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

look at the i9000 WIKI, I assume you are trying to go into recovery as mentioned .

Now, lets try this, in this manner. Charge your Battery to near full First, all files mentioned below can be downloaded from My Android Collections

powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup into download mode without SIM and Ext.SD Card, only after final flashing and reboot , insert them back

First Flash a JVU Bootloader , with update bootloader ticked and Auto reboot unticked in Odin 3 ( use Odin3 version 1.85 ) Odin3 must be restarted like new for every flash, so close and open after every use. recheck bold details again

Second pull out battery and get back into download mode and flash a 512 PIT, with Repartition Ticked and Auto reboot unticked in Odin3

Third pull out battery and get back into download mode and Flash a JVU ROM, as is in Odin 3, meaning do not tick or untick anything , it should auto reboot when completed.
