Hey everyone, I'm using this method to root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

the first one by robinson, and following along with this video

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/

I literally just got home from the store, put the phone in download mode like video said, downloaded Odin, opened Odin, and selected the root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.7z file under PDA section, when I click start it says error and does nothing. What have I done wrong?

it says

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

it's like it's not communicating with the phone. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
That's exactly what's happening - you need to install a set of drivers to get Odin to talk with the phone. This thread suggests you try getting those here, or through this mirror.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] father87:
yup you're right, actually it was mentioned in the thread I was following but I missed it.

Ok, so now I got 4.1.1 but it doesn't look much like Jelly Bean. Now that it's rooted what cool stuff can I do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tanner4137:
Is it still on Touch Wiz? If so, you can download ROM Manager from the Play Store and flash Clock Work Mod Recovery in the app. Then, pick a ROM you want to flash and boot into recovery. You'll be able to flash it there.
[HTC One S] Schlengge:
Hey all,

I'm facing a rather annoying issue.

I can't download anything on my phone anymore.

All downloads (browser or Gmail) fail and the phone saves the file with only a few kb.

This happens with a good and fast Wlan connection.

Anyone who had the same problem or know how to fix it?

Phone is rooted with TrickDroid (S3)

Funny, I was just now sitting here surfing a bit on my S, and noticed this as well. Couldnt download anything so had to move my ass to the PC :( lol

For fun I tried the very same download on my TF101, and it worked fine there :(

My S is running rooted stock 4.0.4.
[HTC One S] Schlengge:
So I'm not the only one...

I hope somebody knows the reason because moving to the PC all the time can't be the solution

I have an HP Touchpad running CM9. I wanted to get Hulu Plus running on it using ICS Browser+. I read Reverend Kyle's posts and watched his Video on YouTube. I gets all the way to the start of the Show but then says I am blocking ads. I removed AdFree also. Can someone who has it running point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Good to see you active again sextape!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
I'm assuming this doesn't have multi-view then?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mstrmscn:
What is meant by CSpire? Isn't that another phone company?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
Cspire is another phone wireless provider. Cspire also sells the Galaxy s3 so this is for their variant of the s3 hence the "Cspire" in the name also lets you know it isnt for the sprint s3 named D2SPR

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
The rooted and unrooted odin one clicks have been updated to include this build as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mstrmscn:
I got that, so y is it here if it's not for our phone or am I missing something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
It's for cSpire, yet, it's for the same model as our devices, the SPH-L710. This leads me to think it's compatible with the Sprint variant. I'd get a confirmation from the OP prior to flashing this on your SPRINT device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
the Cspire variant of the sgs3 doesnt have its own section or subforum here on xda. But i believe theyre able to post roms kernels ect in this section as long as it clearly states its not meant for the sprint galaxy s3(D2SPR) so people dont flash it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Yes ROMs are compatible just like the boost mobile leaks of the epic touch variant on the sprint variant and vice versa
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Cspires is actually SCH-L710 and is very similar to sprints. If you look around you'll see that almost no site (other than sextape's)offers support for it and most cspire users go to sprints section first. If you are on sprint do not attempt to flash this to your device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ram9200:
Dont do it, it will brick your device the modem is not the same. I dont know why its posted here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mstrmscn:
It's actually not 'clearly' stated but I have never and will never flash a ROM that doesn't specifically say it's for my phone or it was ported from another carrier to my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ram9200:
If a custom rom was created out of it that doesnt include radios/modems i would definitely flash. I dont evev know what LL1 is though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sextape:
Not compatible with Sprint devices don't try unless you want a brick :) any cSpire users feel free to comment on any changes you have noticed

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ram9200:
anyone want to comment on what android version this is?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MJHawaii:
This has no business in the Sprint forum regardless, you should contact forum admin for a sub section request because you are only inviting disaster regardless of what you put in the Title there is bound to be some confusion.

Sextape thanks for all your work but I gotta respectfully disagree with this post maybe put it the OP a large warning for noobs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chriswbush:
+1 this is a Sprint S3 forum
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
I think you're blowing this a bit out of proportion. Truthfully if you're dumb enought to not see the big red letters in the OP or the word cspire in the title than frankly, you deserve a paperweight. Consider it a $600 dumbass tax. Second our sprint s3 will only flash certain modems and flashing the cspire modem will cause the odin flash to fail.which makes me think that the phone/odin will most likely not let the bootloaders flash either. Bottom line, attempting to flash this will ultimately be unsuccesful on a sprint device anyway so its really not that big a deal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VECTUS:
Closed. Other phones have these for development purposes and I don't see how this couldn't be used for that exact purpose. There's no reason to leave this open though because everyone will bicker and argue about it (which has already occurred to some extent).

Everyone this IS NOT for a Sprint Phone. DO NOT flash it. It is for development use Only.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kcsween:
I'm doing an app backup using TB Pro and had a question before I flash MeanBean 1.2:

I'm new to TB Pro and I'm stomped on one of the options in Preferences. Under Restoration Settings > Restore Backups to.. option in particular as I'm not sure of the meaning of the options available. The options are:

Default location (chosen by Android)

Original location (for TB 3.2.8+ backups)

Internal storage

External media

* I can pretty much guess the last two options are for restoring apps to internal/external storage but as for the Default and Original location, which one is for restoring the apps to the location they were backed up from in the first place? This is where I'm stomped. I searched the knowledge base (the wiki page for TB Pro but those guides seem to be for an earlier version of the app and doesn't even list 'Restore backups to..' as an option. If anyone could help me out real quick I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Somcom3X:
Appears to be a specific folder where the backups are placed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kcsween:
I was thinking the same thing but the location of the folder [system data/phone storage/ext_sd] is where I get lost. I want my apps to be restored where I backed them up from and not have them all restored as if I were installing them from the play store, forcing me to move them over to the ext_sd again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Somcom3X:
Interesting, doesn't titanium backup automatically restore it to its place?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kcsween:
I would think so but the options just threw me off. The default selection was the first option so I guess I'll just keep it at the default.
[Nook Touch General] realdeewana:
I successfully rooted my new Nook STG with NookManager. Thanks for developing such an easy root.

I was able to load apps from Amazon App Store. I was also able to install apks using my dropbox app on the nook as well as using Android Commander on my PC.

But my main purpose for rooting was to install the Overdrive app so that I can load books directly from our public/work libraries on the nook and read. I tried installing the apk from overdrive site but it doesnt work.

Does anyone have an APK that works with 1.2 and NookManager root? I also tried a version that said (2.4.2.2) of the apk that I found on another site but it doesnt work.

Also the aldiko apk (2.1.0) installed fine but crashes with the SD card in the nook. It opens fine when the SD card is not loaded in the nook. So am unable to load books as I cannot access the acsm file that I download from the library to load the ADE books.

Thanks.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
That's the same reason I rooted. Its really silly that you can easily check out books on your smartphone and not your e-reader. Once you get it going on the Nook its great. I looked a little for an Overdrive that works but ended up with Aldiko version 2 instead. To get Aldiko working with an library once you've installed it:

Open Aldiko

Open the menu | Settings | Adobe DRM and enter your Adobe Id & password to authorize your Nook then exit Settings

Click on the shopping cart icon at the upper right

Open the menu | My catalogs.

Click on the + at the upper right and enter a name for your library and the Overdrive URL then click OK.

Now you can click on the library in My catalogs to go to the Overdrive site and check out books and they will open in Aldiko. I reassigned the search button on the quicknav to Aldiko with the Nook Touch Mods Manager that NookManager installs and now it works like every e-reader should out of the box.

UPDATE: Just noticed you had tried Aldiko before. My link is for an older version that works on the Nook just fine. I haven't had any reader app work with the browser downloading the .acsm then clicking on it. For some reason they don't get hooked up with the automatic open when you click on .acsm files. But with Aldiko you browse from inside the Aldiko app and it works fine. I believe this version of Aldiko will open without the SD card inserted but needs it inserted to download books.
[Nook Touch General] realdeewana:
Thanks for the detailed steps, will give that a try. By the overdrive url, you mean the library overdrive url?
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Yep. Like http://brevard.lib.overdrive.com for my local Brevard County library.
[Nook Touch General] realdeewana:
Cool. that worked just right. With dropsync everything else also seems to fall in place.

Wondering if its possible to use the side buttons to navigate a book within the aldiko app?
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
There is a hack to the system key layout to remap the side buttons to volume control keys and Aldiko can use the volume controls to scroll. But the B&N reader doesn't use the volume control keys to scroll. So some people map two of the side keys to volume controls and leave the others as normal or don't use the B&N reader and use all four as volume controls. I really didn't like that idea so I spent the last week playing with Nook Touch Mod Manager / Nook Touch Patches and modifying them to be able to remap the side buttons to screen taps so they work with the B&N reader, Aldiko and just about any other reader you choose to install. Plus you can map long presses to open apps, bring up the menu, go back and any other NTMM action. I have a PM out to jeff_z the NTMM / NookTouchPatches developer (thanks a whole bunch for NTMM, NookTouchPatches and NookManager Jeff!) to see if he would like to merge my changes into NTMM. Keep an eye on the NTMM thread and one way or another I'll make the changes available in the next week or so.
[Nook Touch General] realdeewana:
Cool. That worked. Thanks

I used Android Commander.

First do a chmod 777 on the file in the shell,

then pull the file to c:

modify using notepad++ in admin mode

then a push on the nook with the modified file.

Reboot the Nook and voila! Works on the kindle app as well.

Overdrive and Nook Glowlight

Just in case you still wanted to put Overdrive on your rooted Nook Glow: I also successfully rooted with NookManager. (So simple! Thanks!) Found an older version of Overdrive 2.3.0.1 which works fine. Sorry I can't post the link, but go to freeware4android.net and search "android 2.1 overdrive media console". It should be about the fifth or sixth result down the list ending with "overdrive-media-console-download- 127505.html." I just downloaded the file to SD card in my nook, clicked open and it installed fine. Haven't tried Aldiko, but I like the one-click convenience of having Overdrive automatically open the .ascm library files.

Incidentally, when I registered my device, I also unchecked the "automatic updates" box in Overdrive settings, to prevent Overdrive from trying to update to a newer version that's not compatible with the device. Happy reading!
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Thanks for posting. Aldiko will also automatically open the library files but I like the Overdrive app a lot better.
[Nook Touch General] spedinfargo:
It looks like you cannot use the stock reader to open Overdrive books that you have downloaded. Is that correct? I would think that the reader app itself should handle the copy protection (since you can side load books using the Adobe app on your computer) but it doesn't seem to work that way...

I haven't tried the Aldiko reader yet - I don't find the Overdrive reader itself to be very usable for reading...
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Does seem to make sense if you've downloaded a book using Overdrive you should be able to open it with the built in reader. Never tried it though as I'm happy enough with the OD reader.
[Nook Touch General] jptiger:
Hey does anybody still have that older version of the Overdrive apk lying around? That freeware4android site looks like it's infested with malware these days.

Rooted Nook ST Glow and new Overdrive site

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this question: Has anyone else been unable to sign into their library from rooted nook ST after the library has updated to the new overdrive? Main reason I rooted my nook was so I could download library books directly. Now, I can see the main page fine and get to the sign in page, but after entering my information I get a generic error message. I have a nook simple touch with glowlight rooted with Nook Manager and using Opera mobile to get to library site. I'm thinking the new overdrive site just isn't compatible with android 2.1, but hoping someone out there has a solution.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I tried this and came away without success. I don't have an Overdrive login and so tried to use my library card number and got the error message you describe. But there's no problem with the display of my local portal using Opera Mobile, as far as I can tell--other than being painfully slow. I should add that I am using the old Overdrive app that seems to work best with the NST, not an updated version. Just out of curiosity I tried to start from the Opera itself and my library site. When I had selected a book I had to sign in, of course, and was met with the same error. This leads me to suspect a security certificate problem.

I also have a little non-registered KitKat phone which I use as a media player and it has the new Overdrive app on it so I tried again. This time everything went fine and I got my ebook. I couldn't see that book on my NST, not even sure if that's supposed to work but it seemed like the new version of the app was claiming it would if you set up your account properly so I set about doing that on the device. But when I tried to sign in with my library card number I got that same error!

So....maybe it's an issue right now with Overdrive--or the app--that will go away. It may also be that the security certificates needed to negotiate a book checkout have expired on the NST. I am using the updated certs. file discussed elsewhere on the forum, but it may not include whatever is needed for Overdrive. I know the app worked the last time I tried it, but don't recall when that was.

In general, I do not find it helpful to allow apps on the NST/G to autoupdate from the Market. I have turned off autoupdate on all of them. The chances are great that "improvements" will break functionality or severely hobble performance. Of course, log-in issues are complicated. I guess a logcat might reveal something but since the app interacts with the browser and the actual checkout of the book is done via the browser, I'm not sure what you'd learn.
[Nook Touch General] c1gum:
Thanks for looking into this. Yes, I also have the older version of Overdrive on my nook st, and am using my library card sign in. The Overdrive app takes me to Opera mobile, and the library home page shows up no problem. It's the sign in page where I enter my library card number that has the problem. I tried signing in to a different library that has not updated their website yet, and no problem - was able to sign in and download a book and open it on the nook as usual. Security certs seems like a good point, or is it possible the older version of opera mobile might not be compatible with the new overdrive website? Since opera mobile displays the library home page just fine, maybe the sign in problem is something that will resolve itself later. Here's hoping! :)
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
So here's what I've tried so far:

1. Installed a more modern browser, Opera Mini. It's the last version that "works" on the NST (7.6.40234). I don't use it because there is no multi-touch zoom and it often has issues loading new pages in the same screen. Anyway, it gives exactly the same error for a log-in attempt, starting from the Overdrive app and proceeding as you describe. So it's less likely a old browser issue.

2. I asked member [MENTION=2662726]tshoulihane[/MENTION] to take a look at the possibility of a security certificate issue here (and his response follows that post). I do think it's odd that neither browser is throwing up a security error. I could track down a few more browsers, but I'm reluctant to put a bunch more junk on my NST.

3. I checked out a book on my PC and downloaded the acsm file. Then I transferred that to my NST and accessed the file through a file manager. The Overdrive app opened immediately and the download commenced without any problem. The book was readable. I don't know what the app does if you're working through it and the resident browser, but I didn't see any obvious place to put the acsm file and it didn't seem to matter. Once the book is downloaded you don't need the acsm file any more.

So...the app "works", or can work, given the requisite tools.

I've got a support ticket open with Overdrive regarding this issue. The initial response is not promising ("clear the browser cache, blah-blah-blah..."). I'm going to take a few screen shots and write a

very

basic reply to go with them, including most of what I've described here, but I'm not holding out much hope from that quarter.

Edit: after I sent the email to Overdrive I thought about another experiment that might be illuminating. I installed both Opera Mobile and Opera Mini (the versions for the NST) on my little KitKat "phone". They seemed to work OK accessing my local library, but Mobile crashed and closed once the Overdrive "sign in" icon was touched, and Mini gave the same error we are discussing. Hmm. I also tried accessing Overdrive from the browsers on my Nook Tablet (Dolphin and the native CM 12 browser) and the native KitKat browser on my "phone". Those worked just fine. So it's looking like some new requirement in the Overdrive web update may have left our NST browsers in the dust.

I tracked down a Dolphin 10.x browser which is the last of the series that sort of runs on the NST. Surprise, surprise! It threw up all kinds of security certificate messages as soon as I got to the Overdrive section, didn't even have to try to log in. I'll pass this along to [MENTION=2662726]tshoulihane[/MENTION].
[Nook Touch General] tshoulihane:
So I have 2 nooks, one with updated certificates, one with the original setup still. Both are happy with digicert (the old nook still has a couple f non-expired root certificates). I have UC browser installed - With that, https://overdrive.com shows a 'broken padlock' on the old nook, but no explicit warnings. If i try to sign-in from that page, I get a 'certificate expired'. However, I think the site is using google to provide login management (maybe only as an option), and it is the https://google.com certificate which is failing. So i an explain the old nook failing, but not the one with updated certificates (so long as you're using the 2nd certificates file which I uploaded).
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Thanks for taking a look at this. Yes, I am using the second file (the "more complete"), and everything else from Kindle to Google Books is fine. If [MENTION=2029876]c1gum[/MENTION] hadn't brought up the Overdrive issue I would not have noticed it for awhile. So...a puzzle.

I guess I'll wait to see what the support tech at Overdrive has to say, although he doesn't yet have the information about the certificate panic with Dolphin. More likely than not it will be the standard line about updating the devices/apps/OS. I guess I'd better get screen caps of those certificate error details.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
A workaround for now

OK, so this discussion has taken place in two different threads. Time to bring it back where it belongs so people can find the info.

Thanks to member [MENTION=414074]cjp[/MENTION]icc, we now know that the UC Browser Mini 10.6.8 (copy attached below) can negotiate the Overdrive login at your local library branch and allow you to check out and download books all on your NST/G.

So far, no other common browsers used successfully on the NST/G for general purposes seem to be able to deal with the revamped Overdrive sites.

You can, of course, check out and download books on a PC, transfer the acsm file to your NST/G and access it with a file manager. That will open Overdrive and --if you're connected to Wi-Fi--download the full book to your device.

Edit: OK, not the best experience with UC browser. You can sign in, but the search bar does not show up so you have to go to the main library catalog and search there. At least that was my experience with the two libraries I tried.
