Quotes from 2 articles on AndroidCentral, June 17, so just don't go on any unsecured wifi networks and wait a few days for it to be fixed (italics added):

"Samsung today in an official statement has said that it's prepping an update that should close a potential-but-obscure avenue for exploit in its custom keyboard on a number of its most popular phones.

The update will come by way of the security policy update mechanism in Samsung Knox and not with a full system update, samsung said in its statement. (And that begs the question why that wasn't done in the first place, if indeed we'd been waiting on U.S. operators to push out a fix.)

Here's what's up. In a statement given to Android Central, Samsung says:

Samsung takes emerging security threats very seriously. We are aware of the recent issue reported by several media outlets and are committed to providing the latest in mobile security. Samsung Knox has the capability to update the security policy of the phones, over-the-air, to invalidate any potential vulnerabilities caused by this issue. The security policy updates will begin rolling out in a few days. In addition to the security policy update, we are also working with SwiftKey to address potential risks going forward."

The crux of the issue came from the way the language packs in Samsung's keyboard are updated. (The language packs are part of the SwiftKey SDK, but the retail version of the SwiftKey keyboard wasn't involved in any of this in any way.) If your phone was connected to an unsecure access point and an attacker was able to catch you at the moment your phone was updating the language pack, they'd be able to replace the update payload with something nefarious. That would require a lot of things to line up at once, of course. But while the exploit is obscure, it's still real and needs to be fixed.

How to get the keyboard exploit fix

To make sure you get the fix that's being issued through Samsung's KNOX software, do the following:

Go into your main settings menu.

Enter the "Security" section.

Scroll down to "Other security settings."

Choose "Security policy updates."

Make sure "Automatic updates" is checked.

The phones in question, according to the security firm that announced the exploit, are the Galaxy S4 and GS4 Mini, Galaxy S5, and Galaxy S6, on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. Samsung says it's "working on an expedited firmware update" for any devices that didn't have KNOX enabled by default.

The phones in question were the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 Mini on Sprint, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile."

[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
Thanks, if im already rooted, do i need to unroot then instal a recovery? Or do i keep it, i didnt know if root would come with that.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Generally root is needed first then custom recovery because you need root to write to system, but in some cases devices are rooted by flashing a recovery FIRST then flashing superSU.zip through recovery to gain root. In your case since you're already rooted then you should be able to go ahead and install recovery. How you flash the recovery is gonna depend on the file type the recovery is in. If and when I find your recovery I'll let you know how to install it.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

Here, from what I'm reading, everyone that rooted and flashed this model used this method. It involves flashing a recovery.tar through Odin then flashing superSU.zip in recovery to gain root. You are already rooted so you wont need to do that, but the recovery.tar should work for you.

http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html?m=1

Flashing the recovery through Odin will increase your flash counter and you'll probably have a yellow triangle when you boot, if you do and you don't want it there you can get rid of it with [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]s Triangle Away app, you'll have to try different versions til one of them works. It will reset your flash counter and remove the yellow triangle.
[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
Thanks alot. What do you mean a ylow triangle whem i boot? Like with boot animation or what?

Once i have a custom recovery do i flash ROMs through it or is that still odin? Its been a while since ive read on this stuff and getting back into now :) used to be really worried about bricking
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It will have a yellow triangle at the bottom of the Samsung splash screen, before the boot ani starts. Its normal, it appears there after flashing custom stuff through Odin, its something Samsung did so they would know if the device has had non official software flashed on the device, after flashing it will also show "custom" at the top left of the Odin mode screen instead of "official", you'll also have a number beside the flash counter in Odin mode, it represents how many times you've flashed. Non of this is harmful, its just something Samsung did for warranty purposes. It won't harm anything at all and its fine if you leave it that way but if the triangle gets on your nerves then it can be removed with the app, there is also a method that requires a USB jig to remove the triangle and reset the flash counter. Neither are necessary though, its just a minor detail.
[General Questions and Answers] MajorBells:
So, finally I got through all of this. I redone the whole root process, managed to flash the kernels into my phone and boom, my /system is now r/w.

[MENTION=5691352]N_psycho_PD_uh?[/MENTION], you are a lifesaver, all kudos to you! THANKS AGAIN
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Good to go, glad to help.
[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
Makes sense. What exactly is odin mode? Like a mode to put your device in to flash?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, its download mode. Volume down+home+power boots to download mode(Odin mode)
[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
Sorry for a bunch of questions. From messing up in this process, (flashing recovery) what could go wrong? Soft brick? And this would just take a factory reset or flashing stock to fix right?

Is it possible to get a custom rom on 4.1.2 jellybean
[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:

[General Questions and Answers] Narcotle:
Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to change the stock loading icon on my Oneplus One (not the bootanimation, the acatual loading icon). In which thread could I find the answer or get more help with this question? I can't really find a general "tweaks" thread.
[General Questions and Answers] Austin Merriam:
Yes it's a straight talk Samsung galaxy s3 4.1.2 jellybean
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, if anything goes wrong you can flash the stock firmware in .tar format to fix it, you'll have to find the stock firmware first though, don't flash anything until you have your stock firmware downloaded.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Yes, the straight talk S3 S960L is the sprint version, straight talk also has a S3 S968C and its the Verizon version, I have the Verizon version. Mine actually has the Verizon's model number stamped on the motherboard(i535), it wouldn't surprise me if the S960L didn't have the Sprint L710 model number stamped on its board. There is info on this all over Google if you look.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

You are looking for custom "splashscreens", yes this can be changed but how its done, where its located and what kind of file differs from device to device so you'll have to do some research to see what you can use and how to change it.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

Straight talk use to run on the Sprint towers but I'm not sure if they still do, the S960L is from when the Sprint network was used, I think Sprint dropped them and Verizon picked them up, that's why the ST S3_is a Verizon version now, they also were on AT&T's towers at one time but they aren't now.
[General Questions and Answers] Austin Merriam:
Anyone know where I could go for help on getting a custom rom? For my phone
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Are you rooted and have a custom recovery installed?
[General Questions and Answers] Austin Merriam:
Yes I'm rooted and I have twrp recovery
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
OK, you can use the Sprint S3 L710 ROMs, you might have to delete the updater script out of them so that it will flash in recovery without errors, to do this use jrummys root explorer to unzip the ROM then delete the asserts(updater script) then rezip the ROM with jrummys root explorer, when it asks what compression to use select "best".

You'll also probably need to manually enter the Straight Talk APNs so that data and MMS will work. Here are the APNs

Where it says MMSC, try finding the stock MMSC on your device and use that MMSC with the rest of these APNs in the screenshot instead of the MMSC that is in the screenshot, then try the MMSC from the screenshot, whichever works but try the stock MMSC first and the other if that doesn't work.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I had the wrong screenshot for the APNs, here is the correct one
[General Questions and Answers] Austin Merriam:
Can I back up the apns I have
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes you can, they should work just fine but just in case they don't try the ones I posted.

I have a feeling like in going to mess up my phone is there any videos on how to do this that would help if I could see how to do it

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

Never mind I found one
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Which part do you think you'll mess up?

If you mean the part with the updater script, you can try flashing the ROM as it is without editing then if it doesn't flash then you can edit it and try it.
[General Questions and Answers] Austin Merriam:
where can I find my MMSC

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

I just don't want to brick my phone

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

And where can I find the rom??
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have APN settings in your stock ROM you'll find then in system settings>more>mobile networks>Access point names or in system settings>mobile networks>Access point names, you can also go through your messenger app or Hangouts and look in their settings to find APNs, there are different ways to get to them, it just depends on your firmware. Some stock ROMs don't have APN settings, if you have a device that does not have APN settings then try the APN backup app then restore them after you flash the ROM. Your MMSC is only for MMS(multimedia like pic texts), the rest of the APNs are for mobile data.

APN issues won't brick your phone, they only control the device getting data.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Do a search for "custom ROMs for sprint S3 L710", that should give you results for ROMs

It gets stated frequently here, " Google is your friend", you can find anything you are looking for with simple Google searches, just type what you are looking for in the search bar and include as much info as you can in the search terms and you'll find what you are looking for.

? stupid autocorrect I meant anyone know where I can find gapps for cm 12.1
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That backs up NVdata yes, it more or less backs up your IMEI and modem partition. As for the if it backs up APNs I don't know but I've never seen that particular point mentioned anywhere, but it very well could for all I know. But as far as I know that only works on devices with Qcom chipset or at least Qcom modem, but not a Exynos modem.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Google search for "5.1 Gapps" remember, Google is your friend, put what you are looking for in the search bar then press enter and it magically generates results for you. I can't stress enough how simple and easy it is to use Google, get used to it.

Why 5.1? And I have gapps from a couple months ago but Idk if it works
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Any 5.1 Gapps will work, it doesn't matter where you get Gapps from, all that matters is that they match the android version of the ROM you choose, i.e. 4.4 ROM/4.4 Gapps, 4.4.4 ROM/4.4.4 Gapps, 5.0 ROM/5.0 Gapps, 5.1 ROM/5.1 Gapps.

If you aren't getting any data after flashing then you'll need to enter the APNs.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Btw, there is a sprint OctOS that is very stable, has some cool features and doesn't randomly reboot like most of the other LP ROMs. It can be found at WWW.teamoctos.com, you are looking for d2spr.
[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
Do custom roms have different system apps? And data like pictures will be lost right?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Custom ROMs are generally debloated and don't have all the junk that stock ROMs have, the apps are different than stock, there are apps that the developers chose to put in.

Always backup any personal data before flashing anything just to be safe, BUT the modern recoveries we use don't erase or wipe data and media. Its always best to make backups of what you want to keep with Titanium Backup for example, then the content you saved can be restored in the new ROM with Titanium Backup. Just don't forget to make a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing a ROM.

If i have a nandroid backup of my stock rom, do i flash that back to return to where i am?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, if you want to go back to what you have now then all you do is boot to recovery, do the wipes and factory reset then restore the nandroid and you're back.
[General Questions and Answers] TechGeekD:
Keeping it simple : Yup !
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you can't figure out how to do that with tasker then see if you can modify where the file gets stored, if you can do it that way then use ES File explorer and turn Recycle Bin on then make it so that the file you are talking about gets stored in recycle bin when it is created then use tasker to set it so that the recycle bin gets cleared automatically. Or something similar to that effect.

What Gapps did you use? Try a different package. What issue are you having with your APNs?
[General Questions and Answers] SLUDER4:
Do i keep that on my computer? Or is that stored with the recovery??
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can make your nandroid backups to external SD or internal but its best to backup to external SD. You can store a copy of your nandroid on your PC if it you chose but leave a copy on your external SD.
