FYI for anyone who is not running this and is not rooted (like me) you can stop the message you receive when you miss a call or text. I kept getting a message that made me hit okay every time I missed call/texts. I read in other threads that freezing "help" ......can be found in the application manager would stop this annoying message. If your not rooted you can just disable it....I never even looked until now because I figured it couldn't be that easy. Anyway, this was probably obvious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cam1pbell:
It didn't work for me. I still get the annoying help text. I just deal with it bacause everything else works perfect.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

It did work thanks ,I just restarted my phone and it worked. Good info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
I'm am listing below the bugs that have been common for everyone so far on VRBLJ1. So if you experience any of the below, it is a known issue and is a bug in the build that is to be fixed.

Lock Screen help text not going away even after swiping the action multiple times

T9 Trace feature (basically Swype) on the Samsung keyboard does not work at all

E-Mail app is always black background even with power savings off

Media and/or Android System is at high usage and lowers battery life

If you guys can name any others I will add it to the list. Please note this list is about bugs that happen for everyone and not individual issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] radiohead14:
any word on the new test build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FAUguy:
Might want to add the "Paste" function doesn't always show up when you long-press.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
I don't see any of this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
me neither...on I5 I had all of the listed issues, but on J1 everything worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GTablet:
Mine works perfectly as well... NO ISSUES that I can see and I use this phone about 14 hours a day....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JDBSC1:
Yeah im on J1 and having the same bugs. Kinda like email with black backdrop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arifiano:
I can confirm the first two are not working for me also...

There is another bug in Swype...if you go to settings and into preferences and select use "CELLULAR DATA" to get updates...then you lose your voice input while replying to emails...you get an error message saying "not connected to data network" and it will not record nor type your dictation...

Unchecking the "cellular data" then fixes the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Re: Original question was "Can you do this using 'Mobile Odin'"?

Same here - "No guts, no glory"... ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BigErnM:
Did you guys follow the guide in this thread or the root66 version by mrRobinson? I followed this method first and had the listed issues with the T9 predictive text being broken, the black background on the email app and the lockscreen help text. I did the method in his guide next and the T9 keyboard issue and email background were fixed. I had already disabled the help app so the lockscreen text was fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JDBSC1:
Only thing that actually bugs me is the help on lockscreen. I like the black background on mail and I dont use swype so those are kind of like perks.

Any way to disable help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cam1pbell:
Yes. Go to app manager and select all find help disable it restart phone and no more annoying help text
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JDBSC1:
Thanks worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I used mr. robinsons root66.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BigErnM:
I think there must be something about the method in this guide that causes at least some of those issues since they were nearly all resolved when flashing the root66 version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
So this is likely to trip the flash counter, correct? I installed this a week ago and just now for the first time since installing this went back into download mode and everything appears normal to me....am I looking in the wrong spot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AuthPineApple:
Anyone elses GPS borked? Not sure if its from this or from that framework mod that is in one of the posts. My GPS just will not lockon at all. Drove to work today where I need gps and it wouldn't lock on for over 35 minutes of searching.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
Hey a small problem I'm having is that when I try to start Google play movies and tv the app will say it stopped and won't even open.... Tried buying a movie. I'm on liquid rc8. Cross posted this because I'm also having a problem on j1 leak.

Then I tried buying a movie on my brothers galaxy s3. He has the jelly bean leak j1 flashed over Odin. He gets the error connection to server lost when you to start the movie. At least he can get into the app where I can't at all.

Any help? We have a trip tomorrow trying to get stocked up on some movies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
What am i doing wrong guys. Once i get to the point of flashing a custom recovery, odin is saying it's failed. On the phone it says "secure check failed" :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] suntopper:
Well I finally got tired of waiting for the OTA and used this method to update to JB (well so far step 1). Thanks for this! The only "issue" I had was having to plug in my phone before starting Odin.

Has anyone tried to use the "motion" options? I can still do a screen capture but "pan to move" or "tilt to zoom" aren't working in gallery. Not sure if it's because the app changed or what.

Not that I use it for anything other than showing off...

Thanks again,

ST
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
My GPS seems exactly the same as it did before I installed this. I haven't used navigation but I track my route when running using the gps and get a lock with 5 seconds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AuthPineApple:
Thanks for the reply - I'm going to test it out today and see if it is any better since we had some bad weather yesterday with rain/clouds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wooddale:
I had to return my first S3 for that problem. There is also a fix for it I think if you google it. It fixed mine but not 100% so I got new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AuthPineApple:
Yeah man same here. I actually had to do the same exact thing with my first S3. Thing just did not ever work to get my location. I tried it again today with completely clear skies down in Long Beach, CA and it worked great. I guess it was just the stormy weather and the fact that I didn't use Navigation before having the updated applied.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob2000:
Can anyone confirm if the new version allows you to set a device PIN/pass, set the lock timeout to 30min, and get the "normal" lockscreen when waking the phone up before the lock timeout expires, instead of just going straight to the launcher or last used app? This has been persistent in the original and all OTAs and if it's gone in JB, it would totally be worth romming for... Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I set a pin and it gave me this list of time to set it to lock.... Is this what you meant?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Yes it skips the lockscreen too if you set it for 30 minutes, lock and then unlock a minute later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
Mine was totally screwed after I flashed the rom. Maps would not get closer than 500 meters of accuracy. Just clear cache and data and that should help a great deal. I went back into Maps after that and got a GPS lock in under 5 seconds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] muicha:
In other news, the smart stay feature works flawlessly unlike the stock ICS JB!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Based on the previous leak schedule another one should be coming soon :)

Wishful thinking? They sure are taking their time on the OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wooddale:
Hope it comes before Christmas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
In an effort to resolve many root issues it has been advised to use SuperSU on Jelly Bean rather than Superuser. As a result, I have updated the OP files (Downloads 3 + 5) to use SuperSU instead. If any of you would like to update, please feel free to flash either download on top of what you already have and you will be updated to the latest build of SuperSU. Please let me know if anyone has any problems.

EDIT

: Another way to update to SuperSU if you don't feel like flashing is to download SuperSU from the Play Store, open SuperSU, let it update the binary and ask permissions from Superuser app for the last time and then you're all set. If you want to clean out Superuser app after that just navigate to /system/app using Root Explorer or similar app and delete Superuser.apk. That simple.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Everyone stay tuned, yet another new leak incoming (again courtesy of a source who wishes to remain anonymous). Please check back for updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AuthPineApple:
Can't frigin wait. AWESOME! Don't start work til 9 tomorrow so i'll be on here til it is up and ready. THANKS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dudenell:
I literally just finished flashing the last leak... lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AuthPineApple:
Hopefully the few issues that I am having will be cleared up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Anxiously waiting!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JEFFSGTP:
I'm waiting too...to many issues with this one for me....hoping next leak works...can anyone tell me if I google search gets crippled on JB vs ICS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
You get universal search back in JB via Google now. If that's what you mean by cripple. Im also waiting for the new leak hopefully it brings something new
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I must be psychic, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob2000:
Thanks for clarifying,,, but :(:(:(:( TW on my old fascinate worked that way (showing the pin-less lock screen before the timer expired) and i really want it back... but I already gave my fascinate to my wife. Ah well, maybe in the official OTA!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Please be informed that I have updated the OP with the third and latest leak build VRBLK1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcustaz:
You my friend are DA MAN!!!! :good::good::good::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] charlieg90:
Any significant changes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
None that i have noticed yet other than the accessories 5 app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tucstwo:
I'm confused. Back when I first rooted and unlocked my phone there was an app that we used to lock and unlock the bootloader. I don't see that used anymore? So now, how would one relock their bootloader if they wanted to? Since the unlock is all in a flash now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
You can still use the app to relock the bootloader afterwards. I am just providing a method of rooting and unlocking the bootloader all in one step for your convenience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] awalkerz:
Awesome once again! Thank you!

Anyone find any changes yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
Any mirrors? The file just *won't* download for me.

Edit: somehow I made it happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
Do I simply follow the same exact steps as before when I flashed the J1 rom?

Will you be updating this post with the 'official' OTA whenever Verizon releases it? I am loving this method so far without having to lose text messages, apps, etc!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Certainly. That's the great thing about my guide. You can just flash all the steps right on top of anything you have (even if coming from a custom ROM) and it will flash you to a factory ROM without ever losing your personal data.

As long as we will have the tarball for OTA build then I will be sure to update as well (even if we don't I have an idea how to create one anyways, just might be a bit bigger than the others if that's the case).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fkarpf:
Maybe a stupid question, but what is the advantage of Root and Open Bootloader vs. just Root (Downloads #3, #4 and #5)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wooddale:
With just root it kinda frees your phone up. Unlocked bootloader lets you do pretty much what you want with your phone. Flash a ton of roms different kernels customize your phone the way you want with almost no limits
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
I did all this at a mall with mobile odin. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
How did you do that? I don't have access to Odin right now, but I do have mobile Odin! I don't see a PDA function. And the recovery, is that flashed using the recovery function? Thanks for any assistance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wooddale:
Any word on how the new leak is working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Been running since yesterday. Battery life seems a bit better but could just be the fresh flashing. Other than that I don't see any major changes. It seems like a couple of bugs like the black background e-mail app, lock screen notification help text not going away, etc still carried over on this build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wooddale:
So pretty much stay where you are unless you get the urge. Did you notice any change in 4G not sig strength but just holding on to it. Im in IL in strong 4G even my old G nex worked here. I havent looked yet but is there another modem to? I would guess there would be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
There are new radios. Too early to say if it's better or worse. But as usual, depending where you are, YMMV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
Just select 'open file' and select the file you downloaded. Then select 'flash'.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wooddale:
Thanks I guess I give the modems a try like I say I probably wont no where Im at but I got nothing better to do either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Fairly decent battery life on K1 even though I didn't use my device too much today (36 mins screen-on time but 4G all day, never on Wifi)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
@open1your1eyes0

Just wanted to say I seriously appreciate you posting these leaks and sharing them with all the devs and everyone else! Also, thank you for making these stock no wipe Odin files so we can install with basically no work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
Some good ass radios. Unless something changed outside, I'm now getting 3g in this black hole that is a target. 4g at the front'ish of the store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FAUguy:
I reverted back to HE last week after using J1 for a while. Had some bugs, but the radio wasn't as good in my area as HE.

Will try K1 and see how I do with it.

What is the difference between the file SU_Bootloader.zip and SuperSU_Bootloader.zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Do you use the forever root and inject supersu, or do you just continue to follow the guide. Flash cwm through mobile Odin also? From this thread? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
plain ol superuser is the root app that gives you apps root permissions...its recomended to stay with this version for ICS roms.

SuperSu is a updated version and is recomended to use with jellybean roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adlakeche:
New Radios and RPM

Searched the thread coulndn't find links to new K1 Radio and RPM. Anyone have one they could post?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Check out the leak #3 thread by scrosler. They are in the second or third post.

EDIT: If you do this method though you don't need to flash them. This does it for you. Flashes all partitions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adlakeche:

Problem w/ Odin

Hey all.

Little help?

I'm not new to rooting or flashing however I'm having a problem with Odin.

1. Odin will stop responding.

2. When it does respond, and I attempt to add the .md5 file, it says .md5 hash value is invalid.

Any quick help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

EDIT: Re downloaded a new image and it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
I am liking the use of SuperSU over Superuser. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
To prevent MD5 issues I am adding the hash values of each ODIN file to OP. Please verify your MD5 value matches whenever you get an invalid hash error. If it does not, please redownload as you got a corrupt file. If it does and you still get the error please PM me and I will assist you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bajasur:
Uhhh.. I'm such a newb, why do you need new RPM and radio with each new rom flashed??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
You dont have to, but it is recomended. Fwiw i have tried every rom radio rpm combination known to man and my phone did not explode. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
Quick question: Do we flash the radio/kernel/rpm also? Or does the leaked rom itself take care of all that too? It seems like when I go to 'about phone' the kernel and radio already look to be updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
What droidstyle said...It's not necessary but it's recommend as these are the partitions that the build was intended to work best with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] radiohead14:
i don't think mobile odin flashes all the partitions. might be better off using the desktop app for a complete install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aigochamaloh:
Finally took the plunge with leak #3. Works fine so far, except I can't seem to tether using WiFi Tether for Root users. FoxFi seems to activate the built in Verizon hotspot software, so I uninstalled it. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rocktonic:
hung up on setupconnection

odin is hanging up on 'setupconnection'. tried restarting odin and pulling the cable out/putting it back it, same results. how to fix?

sorry if the question doesn't meet you well, i may be slightly drunk. thank's for any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krime922:
Make sure you are not installing via USB 3.0.. I had that issue and switched to a USB 2.0 port and it worked fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rocktonic:
don't have usb 3.0. i'll try the factory usb cable if i can find it?

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

same result with OEM cable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cakewipe:
Make sure you are in download mode. Turn your phone on by holding volume down, power and home. THen when it comes on, let go and hit volume up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rocktonic:
RIGHT... right. i knew that, honest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dudenell:
Sorry I'm a little confused. Should we be installing the new radios / rpm with each flash? I'm new to this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aigochamaloh:
If anyone was wondering, the latest WiFi Tether for Root (experimental) fixes the problem I was having. Just for future reference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
Only the rpm, I was unable to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Small note I'd like to mention, between all three builds, K1 seems to have the smallest media drain out of all of them, almost coming down to borderline normal levels. Could just be a fluke though but I'm definitely seeing a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Same here! Anybody else notice the long press back button to kill app? Kind of nice to see a aosp feature show up in touchwiz!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
You sure you didn't flash kindacrap mods? I'm not getting that, and I used this exact tutorial. Its included in kinda crap now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Oops yep your right lol...kindacrap ftw!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddrum2000:
I'm interested to know this as well. Do we have to flash the RPM extra or does the ODIN tar include it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Not necessary. The No-Wipe image contains the updated kernel and radio and the CWM/TWRP contain the updated RPM so after you complete all three steps your entire device will be updated to the latest build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
So I am coming into this with a fresh device and have downloaded the Factory Image using the phone. I have installed the drivers but when I plug my phone into my computer I don't see the phone anywhere. With my old Rezound i used to plug the phone in and was able to access the files, but now i am not able to access the file. The phone says charging but that is about it.

Do I need to install anything else to be able to see the files on the phone/sd card on my computer other than the drivers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AuthPineApple:
Do you already have USB Debugging Mode ON? If so, turn it off and then you should be able to see your SD card files and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Day 2 battery life: (34 min Screen On time - 4G on all day)

Please note

: Media server is just whenever it plays a sound on the device. Notice regular "Media" (aka media battery drain) is not even on this list, probably too low usage)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Snakehn:
Battery seems great indeed, couple of things i've noticed, the non stop help notification in lock screen still present in this new leak, also the samsung keyboard is not auto correcting, has anybody noticed any other bug?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
You can stop the non stop help notification by disabling "help" in application manager.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Unfortunately it looks like those two bugs and the all black E-mail app (not sure if actually bug yet) still carried over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FAUguy:
Been using the K1 since last night. Overall I do see an improvement over the J1 ROM. Less buggy, but I see the long press to "paste" doesn't always work in the browser with forums sites.

The K1 radio also seems at least as good as the HE, better than I5/J1, as it's holding onto 4G better, but still drops to 3G in my house.

One issue I've been having with the GS3 the past two weeks (regardless of the ROM) is the battery is taking forever to charge. I'm not sure if the battery is going bad, but I'm using the Samsung 1A charger that came with the phone. It use to only take about 3 hours to charge the battery from 10% up to 100% while it was turned off, but now it's taking like 12 hours. I went into CWM and cleared the battery stats, but that didn't help any.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wooddale:
That drop to 3G is my biggest grip with the phone. Im in a strong 4G at home it never drops but when I travel I have the problem. It seems like if the signal strength is less than 10kb she will drop to 3G. So if your on that border line she keeps on switching. He has been the best for me so far havent tried K1 yet. Are you on a border line or 4G extended?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Considering an FAQ for OP. Any FAQ suggestions that you'd like to see?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gkinsella2:
The first one that comes to mind, and it's common in the CleanROM thread as well, is "do I need to flash <insert updated radio name> and updated RPM?"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AuthPineApple:
You change cables? Try using the charger with a different cable. I purchased a 9' cable and it took my phone all day to frigin charge since it was such a POS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
A preliminary FAQ has been added to the OP. Occasionally as more of the same questions come up I might have it updated every now and then. Please feel free to let me know if you need some clarification on any of my answers.
