Get PIT for mapping..

Hi,

I've tried rooting my S3 and installing CWM using the toolkit repeatedly, using every USB port and three different cables, but I end up with the same result in Odin everytime:

<ID:0/007> Added!!

<ID:0/007> Odin v.3 engine (ID:7)..

<ID:0/007> File analysis..

<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/007> Initialzation..

<ID:0/007> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I have uninstalled Kies, installed the drivers that came with the toolkit, disabled the antivirus program on my PC, uninstalled the antivirus app on my S3, rebooted both my PC and the S3 - everything that I have read about when people have had the same problem with other models....

After Odin tells me that writing has failed I can unplug my phone and reboot it and it's working fine, unchanged, just as it was before the attempt - so I should at least be thankfull that I don't have a bigger problem, it's just a bit frustrating!

My phone is a Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305 build number JR003C.I9305XXALI5. My PC is running 32bit Windows XP with SP3.

Has anyone else run into this or have any advice that will get me past this point please?

Hello, rooting the S3 went really fine with the toolkit. However, I'm developing android applications and if I try to install an app by myself (using "adb install ..." on the console or with Eclipse), I get the following error on the adb console:

During the root process there were some permission changes of the file system, so I guess this relates to my problem. I already tried to change the file access permissions for the folder /data/local/tmp/, but it did not help.

Does anybody experienced the same issue or knows how to solve it?

Edit:

The only way how I can currently install an apk is copying the file on the phone and install the app via the file explorer.

Hi

This thread seems dead atm, but I will try. My problem is that I have moved to Philipphines and bought a S3 here. I have tried to root it, but it all stops in ODIN. When it goes to Recovery Mode, it will not find the phone in Odin. It is not attached. What is the problem?

Tried different versions of Odin also, but nothing seems to help. Kies are installed and uninstalled, and everything seems to be tried.

I have rooted phones before so have experience in this, but this time, I don't know what can be wrong?

This is my first Samsung phone, but I guess this is not the problem here.

Any suggestion for help? And what image I should use here? With root I can replace the software with a European?

Last question was not added because I'm dumb, but I'm used to HTC phones and you can root the HTC phone and install different images, but you can't install software from different regions without S-OFF.

I guess this is not actual on Samsung?

Have you tried plugging it into a charger for a while to build up the charge before trying download mode. Even flashing an incorrect odin image shouldnt brick your device it normally just puts it into a boot loop.

What happens when you turn it on normally? Do you get any lights and does the screen come on? Have you tried a usb jig to boot it into download mode?

The only way to fix it is by getting into download mode and flashing a correct image which will restore it.

CWM recovery missing

Running stock XXDLIB 4.1.1 ROM flashed with MSkip's S3 Toolkit after flashing CWM Touch Recovery; I think 6.1.0, but cannot check it.

The ROM's been great and running flawlessly for 12 days.

I decided to do a Nandroid Backup and followed Mskips prompts - turn off phone, hold Volume up, Home and Power for 5 seconds (untiI I see the Samsung logo) and I get the little green Android on his back with a red Triangle and an exclamation mark (maybe this is normal).

In yellow font is

Manual Mode

Applying Multi CSC

Applied the CSC Code

Successfully applied multi CSC.

Up top I get blue writing:

Android System Recovery <3e>

and the usual menu items.

What happened to my Custom Recovery??

I've not made any changes to the unit since installing the stock ROM - I rooted and made sure the bootloader was unlocked before flashing the ROM.

I've installed apps though, plenty of them.

Any clues on the disappearing CWM Recovery?

If I re flash a new CWM 6.1.2 Touch Recovery via the S3 Tookit will it wipe my phone; will I lose my apps?.

Sometimes a custom recovery gets overwritten with the stock recovery. There's a file in system folder that starts that process. Deleting it will prevent that. Watch out for a file like stock recovery or sth in that way.. there's a thread where that 'issue' was mentioned but I don't remember which one :/

Hi Mark and others,

I have been trying and trying and trying,

Uninstalled Kies

Uninstalled Moborobo

Followed instructions above

Win 8 said it was installing drivers for Samsung android

Then after completing, plugging phone in (debug on) there is no serial code, and the device does not show up on windows explorer.

THE PROBLEM WAS THIS:

After doing a backup of my IMEI/NV Data, I did not see the line further down in the thread saying to return to USB mode (I did not know I was LEAVING USB MODE! - there was no warning...)

So for anyone else who has done the backup procedure from liquidperfection, be warned, you must return to USB mode or you will not be able to use Mark's great utility!

Dial *#7284# on your phone to access PhoneUtil and select 'Qualcomm USB Settings' at the bottom. Now select 'MTP + ADB' and press 'OK' to return to the previous screen. Now press your 'Back' key to exit PhoneUtil. Your phone is now back to default USB operation.

With this kit it's impossible to put flash count to 0... I've reset my counts to 1 with triangle away, flashed the THP rom of portugal and still is counting 1, and the phone status is modified....

With the "ALL IN ONE" option on this tool kit, how can I put my LTE with 0 counts?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mskip:
The "ALL IN ONE" option is for rooting and recovery and not resetting the flash counter. If the flash counter isnt resetting after using TriangleAway then thats a question you need to ask Chainfire in the TriangleAway thread. Samsung is updating bootloaders in the new firmware updates and im not sure if they are adding more security with it so they may be trying to make it harder to reset the flash counter.

Its not my app so I cant answer your question.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] esdrimacoy:
sorry if I wan't explicit...

From what I've read to put a s3 LTE in fabric conditions to warranty is necessary to only have a rooted device to instal "Triangle Away" from chain fire. But with this Toolkit all the options have more stuff that only to root. The "simplest" option of your toolkit is, install insecure boot and Root...

For what I've understood the insecure is causing the "1 flash count" and the red exclamation dot on the boot screen....

I think my question is; to root a LTE is necessary always to "install" tjhe insecure boot to? If it is, I'll never get my LTE with 0 counts...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mskip:
I dont know if they are available for the I9305 device but there are stock roms that have been prerooted as to not increase the flash counter. Rooting via my Toolkit involves flashing either an insecure kernel or a custom recovery image which will increase the flash counter.

My advise is if you are worried about warranty then just leave it at stock and dont flash anything.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Raistlin1158:
