Ok, I was wondering why the methods that I know work aren't working so I did some digging, it looks to me like you may have the same thing going on with your S3 as mine, I have a SCH-S968C that was produced after Aug 7 2014 that has an updated kernel that had been patched so that the known methods don't work on it, my device has the H2 baseband and can't be rooted so my device had to be downgraded by flashing the stock H1 firmware over the H2 so that cydiaimpactor and towelroot would work, you probably have the same thing going on with yours, look into it and see if you can find a copy of the stock tar that came on the devices that your known methods work on, flash that through odin then the philz or zip method should work, look to see if the firmware on those devices is the same as what is on yours, compare basebands or kernel dates to see if they are the same, if they aren't the same then yours is different and you'll need the stock tar that is vulnerable.

Even a stock rooted tar if you are lucky enough to find one would work.

Well..umm..let's just say great things begin with great risk. Flashed it an hour and a half ago. I backed up everything I could find and flashed it. It worked! SuperSU, BusyBox all installed. I definitely appreciate your help! I'll have to keep your info in mind though just in case. I used the CFAutoroot for the 710.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ok, but that was risky, when I went digging to see why the other methods weren't working I saw some posts asking if the 710 would work on the L710T, I didn't see anything to confirm it so I wasn't going to suggest it but glad you you got it.

Internal Storage low

Hi Guys,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (internal - 16 Gb), and I am running Paranoid Android 4.6. Just recently i noticed that the internal storage of my phone is showing only 10Gb in total. I would have expected the rest to be ROM and other un-usable stuff. But if you see the diskusage pic (attached) it shows 5 Gb worth 'system data' within this 10 Gb. Hence, the phone has become quite laggy, and every few days, shows 'disk full'.

I think the solution to this would be to format or re-partition it ?? Or am I missing something here? Please any other help/guidance.. Tia.

Which ANDROID Version do you have got?

If you've got Android 4.42 wait for Upgrade to 4.4.3 and then 4.4.4.

4.4.2 also has many App-Compatibility and Launching Problems - and Much more.

I am posting overall on XDA about the bad of Andriod 4.4.2 but

I think that the JTAG is the only way to fix it, which means that you will have to take your device to service. Friendly reminder, don't use root kits of other models. I hope that I helped you.

Because it's easy to do it on the phone and you don't require cables and a computer.

Also, you don't want to place it on your external because there's the risk of a communication error. Placing it on the internal is the recommended way.

Samsung Note 2 to Nexus 5 Contact transfer HELP!!!!!

Hi all,

First off, not sure if this is the right spot for this so if not Mods please move it accordingly. Now, down to business, My G/f dropped her Samsung Note 2 the other night and shattered the screen to the point of it being totally unusable. Now we have a replacement Nexus 5 but I can't get the contacts off the the Note 2 as my g/f can't remember her Gmail info and didn't sync her contacts to it anyway. All the programs I've tried to do it using usb require debugging to be enabled which I cannot do as the screen is FUBARed and unusable. Just wondering if there's any way to do this through KIES or similar software on the pc as I can't do much of anything with the Note2.

reboot recovery

Easy way to find out - install "4-way boot" from play store. Launch it, grant it root access when su asks. Tell it to go to recovery.

Hardbricked Nextbook 8HD8G - Please help.

My wife deleted files from her nextbook. When she tried to reinstall the factory rom, it was incomplete. So, when it rebooted, it was completely bricked. Only the red power light LED works. We have unbricked an Ainol Fire before, so we have some experience with tablets. The Ainol Fire had a method to short the pins on the NAND and it cleared everything. Is there anyway to reset the Nextbook in the same manner? I've tried everything to help her, but nothing is working. The USB doesn't connect ( No device indicated ) to our Win7 laptop. I tried various drivers and root kits, including ADB, and other rooting/install programs. This tablet is dead. I also tried "unbrick" kits, but if it wont boot, loading the SD with something doesn't work. We tried holding the bottons for more than a minute and tried different combos. So I assume this device is locked. Is there a physical reset like the Ainol tablet? When I opened the back, there were no reset holes, easy to identify CMOS jumpers....etc. Please help with any advice. Thank you.
