[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] maxxcool7421:
I swear i am not eating paint chips... the build.prop looks good. like when i snooped it with the build.prop tool from gplay :

I have ZERO idea where the report.log data came from ...

i am going to dump my whole phone to my disk and search for all files under 1 meg for the phrase d2att ...

well no luck dumping the phones files to disk and searching.

all I found hits for files containing the phrase "d2att" but they were all in the clockworkmod folder...

3 tar files

recovery.log and boot.img...

stumped.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

deleted the clockworkmod backups... the only files containing the text string d2att on the phone file system... still drops the install with a code-7 assert error.

same result... the report.log shows wierdness and shows data the build.prop does not have ...

It's gotta be the recovery image on the phone. i am unable to extract the s3rooter recovery image.. but i am able to see the "user husdon" string in ascii... i think the recovery image is from a att phone.

i have a set of recovery backups from booting to cwm and doing a full backup but the extraction tools will not decompress them so i cannot confirm.

is there weird or odd way tp extract the recovery.img file made by doing a backup in cwm recovery mode ?

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

AAAAAnd here it is, straight from the recovery image from my November 27th back up... :(

this is from C:\backup\recovery.img-ramdisk\recovery\build.prop i extracted out the latest backup and then extracted out the recovery.img-ramdisk....

if i do a text search for d2att i also get a string hit on the recovery.img file... but i cannot extract it out for some reason.

so in short... the s3rooter that can out right after the s3 released... used a att recovery image.... not cool.... but also my fault for not waiting for a better tool.

mystery solved. and since the phone works great after ripping out the bloat i am not going to mess with it. removing the assert lines im my mind would fix it,,, and replace the wonk recovery with a known good... it would just be my personal luck it would fail and im out a phone with a year on contract still.
