I did confirm this is working fine.

If you use the stock bootanimation from OMEGA FILES (PRO or not) >>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2253629 , the bootlogo is changed to stock, but the loop is OMEGA.

Then use the instructions from POST#1, then you fix it and you will have the stock bootanimation.

I did used the similar instructions to others ROMs and devices. Works fine too.

Thanks

Hey guys, S3's screen just randomly went blank...phone still turns on and works, I backed up all data..

would it be possible for me to unroot with Odin blind? It would be awesome if someone could give me step by step instructions on how to get in download mode blind. Thanks in advance! :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Get into download mode using VolDown + Power + Home

The cool thing about download mode is that there is no special time to release the buttons, it should just boot up to download mode.

Once you think you're in download mode

Click the volume down once again.

(This should be done while connected to a PC running ODIN)

Check to see that Odin has recognized your phone. Stick the stock unrooted ROM in the PDA section of Odin and flash away.

:trooper:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
Wouldn't you trip the flash counter if you rebooted your phone while rooted? If this is for a warranty replacement then it might not work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KeeperOfThePizza:
Yeah. I'm not sure how you would be able to use triangle away to reset the flash counter..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mattbourge:
So there is no way to reset the flash count with Odin or adb? Only way is with triangle away? TIA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mattbourge:
Thanks. That's what I was wondering about, the timing of releasing the buttons..don't know what to do about the flash counter.. :banghead:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
you could try to buy a $10 mhl adapter and plug the S3 into your hdmi tv. does your screen respond to touch? like is it just black and not displaying? do you hear a ripple when its on and you swipe to unlock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mattbourge:
Awesome idea! :thumbup: Its on CM10.1 ROM so it doesn't make ripple sounds. It does ring for calls and texts BUT I've tried swiping it to answer a call and that doesn't work..so digitizer and LCD must be out..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mattbourge:
When you plug an mhl adapter in does it automatically mirror what's on the screen?? Idk how I'd do that and use a mouse. Might be impossible if the digitizer is completely out..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I am more inclined to believe that it might work even with your digitizer out. I'm no going to lie and say I know for a fact. I don't know how you would setup a bluetooth mouse to control it, though, without having a screen to touch and set it up. Hmmm.

Also you would have success with MHL on stock. Aosp ROMs don't have quite the success stock does with MHL
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mattbourge:
Ok thanks for that..and would triangle away work on stock? Im seeing conflicting things about it..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
yes, triangle away works on stock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzydHUG7XZE

again, though, i'm not sure how you would setup and pair the bluetooth mouse.

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

and i dont know if that MHL adapter would operate correctly via a usb hub connected to the S3. if it did then that gives you a couple other usb ports to use a mouse and whatever on. just spit-balling here.

download mode in black screen

Hello!!

Thank you for answering this thread. I apologize for any newbie mistakes.

I have a TMobile Galaxy S3 that is rooted. Recently, I broke my screen. It is completely black. The touch screen feature still works, as does the rest of the phone. I need to get the phone warranty ready. I've got an mhl cable and can view the screen on my TV. I got triangle away from the play store ($2.50, totally worth it if I can get the phone fixed). I was able to run it using my TV and good aim on the touch screen.

I down loaded Odin 3.07 and the firmware from Sammobile.

If I connect the phone into the computer, I have to disconnect it from the TV.

I'm having trouble reaching download mode blind. That is, I don't know if I've reached it and I can't tell if Odin sees it.

Could someone please give me a step by step to get into d/l mode?

How long should I hold the buttons down for?

When should I feel a buzz? How many buzzes?

when should I hit volume down?up?

How long should I wait for Odin to recognize?

I read somewhere that the Superuser app can unroot for you as long as you use triangle to reset the binary counter. Is this true?

Thank you, for all your help!:fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
Warning: crawrj mentioned this wouldn't flash in TWRP. I use CWM, so not sure whether it's compatible with TWRP (or any other recoveries) at the moment. So, if you're not using CWM... I would suggest waiting a bit.

So as most people know, the new OTA update aims to kill root on the device and the motochopper root method. Once I received the update and saw that it removed root, I immediately set out to figure out what was causing the issue. I also noticed that I was getting the notice about an application performing unauthorized tasks, or something to that effect.

After doing a few file deletions and restores, I finally found the file (KNOXAgent.apk) that was causing the notice about unauthorized actions and needing to restart. I've been running the phone with the MDL update for a little over a week now, and I haven't had another notice. I did lose root during the update, but was able to easily root it again with the motochopper method once the KNOXAgent files were removed.

So, here are the steps I took to avoid losing my root.

1) adb shell

2) su

3) mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system

4) rm /system/app/KNOXAgent.*

5) Reboot into recovery and flash the OTA zip provided below. It's the OTA update with the KNOXAgent patches removed from the updater-script. This will allow the update to continue installing without having an error about KNOXAgent not being found on the device.

The same process may have to be done with future OTA updates once KNOXAgent is removed, but it's better than losing your root method each time an OTA comes out. As I mentioned, I've been using this phone since May 13th with this being done. I also had to take out the My Files updates as well, since I have the CyanogenMod file browser (My Files doesn't have root support).

Unfortunately, it seems XDA has problems with filtering spam and requires that you have 10 posts before being able to post external links. Since I don't have anything else to post at the moment, and can't post on the development forums to report problems to developers in order to legitimately increase my count without having to spam threads I don't care about, you'll have to copy and paste the link to get the update package.

Nice find
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
Thanks. It took a bit to find, but I couldn't live without root. My battery is GAWD with the CPU limited. :3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
OK I am messing around with this and providing feedback. It doesn't install on the stock recovery for obvious reasons. It doesn't install in TWRP. Gives update binary error. Have to backup my extsd so I can format to fat32 to test other recoveries.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
Weird. Flashed for me on CWM when I used it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
Yeah I am guessing it will work in CWM. But I have to backup and format first to test. Which recovery did you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
I've been using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2254323. I tend to stay away from touch recoveries when there are 4 dogs in the house.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] P1NK13P13:
Lol, too little too late for me. :facepalm:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
Ok it installed on Garwynn's CWM but it didn't install the modem. Is that your results also? Won't install with OUDhs either. Gives error 7. I can confirm that root works without knoxagent installed. That is runny really. We find out right away that knox was causing the security warning. But since the kernel was so widely talked about as being the killer of root we completely overlooked knox as being more than just the alert :) Thanks for figuring that out.

Edit: Also installs on Agat's recovery but doesn't install the modem.

Edit Again: Ok just as an FYI this no longer is an issue. Chainfire has done it again. His latest SuperSU 1.30 fixes the root issues on MDL. You can use the stock kernel and leave knox alone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
Awesome! Glad to hear it's fixed. Not sure why the modem didn't install. I didn't get any errors on my device after taking out the patches for My Files and KNOXAgent, as both were missing on my system. I'll try restoring back to MDC and updating to SuperSU 1.3 to test it. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jpkelly05:
I was going to ask an annoying question.... but decided it was annoying and did a search. here is what I found in the difference between SuperUser and SuperSU and SuperSU Pro ($2.49). Reference: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ruser-from-chainsdd-and-superuser-from-clockw

SuperSU improves everything about Superuser and adds more options. The free version offers faster notifications, there is possibility of disabling them for each app and a new interface, attractive and easy to handle. In addition, according to developer claims by using SuperSU you’ll enjoy higher speed from the apps that require root rights, especially on Android 4.0+. The paid version called SuperSU Pro provides the opportunity to keep root rights after a system update, which usually cancels these rights. Although the method is not guaranteed the option is very useful. We have password protection and advanced log configuration settings for each application.

You might also want to read SuperSU Brings Better SuperUser Root Permission Management to Android. Quoting from that article:

SuperSU is basically SuperUser on steroids. According to the developer, it “allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root.”.

Edit: ::FacePalm:: What ever you do. Do not uninstall SuperUser after you install SuperSU. You will loose Root. LOL (Hey at least I can laugh at myself.) I am not worried about it yet... I know I will get it back eventually.

Edit 2: After reading the OP, all you have to do if you have TWRP Recovery installed is do the OTA, your update will install and you will automatically reboot into TWRP.

Go to Mount first and mount System.

Go to back to home and select Advanced.

Go to File Manager. NOTE: This can be very frustrating! Use BACK and Sort Options to reset Sorting if it keeps doing things you don't want it to do. Also (Up A Level) is handy. If you are on "/" directory, touch Sort Descending: Name and you will see System. Select Sysytem.

Now Sort Ascending you will see App. Select App.

Gentally and slowly Swipe down in the middle to reach Knox. I found 2 files. Select one at a time and delete them.

Reboot

Then rerun Motochopper Root method.

I am on Stock MDC still. So if you are on MDL I am not sure if this would work. Now follow the directions that I failed to see when you install SuperSU.

Install SuperSU. Open SuperSU and make sure SU binary is switched from SuperUser to SuperSU. Once you do that you can remove SuperUser.

Edit 3: Once you check to make sure SuperSU has Binary after a reboot... SuperSU will remove SuperUser for you. No need to do anything.

After all said and done... I am thinking that the TWRP stopped the OTA from installing. I have been extremely busy with work, so no time to read XDA lately has been stopping me from keeping up to date. I just need more time in the day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
Well, crawrj.. I just rawly patched the modem.bin with the modem.img.p, and the baseband version and such still hasn't increased. My software version and baseband version are still showing MDC, while build number is showing MDL. The weird thing about it is the kernel also updated from its original. How does the modem not update when it's being directly flashed onto the partition? Trying to get all of my stuff over to MDL, if that's what it's supposed to be. It has the new boot sound and such, but the inconsistent version numbers make me hesitant that the update fully applied.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
There is some kind of write protection of security that locks the modem down. I have tried 100 different ways of installing the modem and can't. It looks like the official installs are the only ones that work. So right now the ota is the only way to get the modem. But I am sure we will get it figured out in time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
Well, that sucks. I guess I will give up trying to flash it for now. Already removed KNOXAgent again and dropped faux's kernel on here. It's showing my build as MDL, so at least I don't get pestered by the update message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tones160:
aww come on lol too late for me too. I went through hell rooting my phone when i upgraded to MDL. I flashed the stock rom like 3 times before getting my phone rooted and the last piece of the puzzle were the knox files. Instead of deleting the files i froze them using the system tuner off from the playstore after i installed shabbat's custom kernel.

Do we know of a way to avoid all these run arounds to root on MDL by keeping the stock kernel and without removing knox???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
I think there are a few posts in the development sections that will help out with getting root on MDL. If it were me, I would just pull the SuperSU apk and unzip it. Grab the su binary out of there, push it to /system/xbin/, and then install SuperSU on the phone once it restarted. Now, I can't confirm that works... because I haven't had to get that dirty with rooting my phone. Motochopper worked perfectly fine when KNOXAgent was removed, so it should work if you have KNOXAgent frozen too.

wanna make sure I understand this right. I'm gonna flash this no knox update on top of forcesrom (which has knox removed), I should be ok right? but the modern still not install this way, is that correct? and I won't be able to update my modem until a new method comes out. do I got it all right? thanks! :thumbup::what:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RogueSly:
That's apparently right, for now. I'm working on figuring out why the MDM partition won't flash. I tried to patch the files manually, as mentioned previously and here, but it seems that it didn't flash as the baseband didn't change?

Hopefully figure it out soon.

So I search around and I can get a clear answer on some of my questions so I am hoping I can get some clairity. Part of this stems from not having a Canadian specific section so alot of the info doesnt directly relate.

So the Canadian S4's come with a unlocked bootloader? I been reading that they do however I have seen 2 threads (one not here on here) that state it is locked. Any clear answer on here?

Also this means that flashing a custom recovery should be easier if it is unlocked correct?

If I need to go back to stock say for warranty, its as simple as flashing the stock backup that I would have done (nandroid) then unrooting? This shouldnt have the Triangle counter as (if its confirmed that it is unlocked) it shouldnt have any issue correct?

Hope someone can give me some CLEAR indication as I dont have a ATT S4 but a Canadian S4.

THANKS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChronoReverse:
It's unlocked so you can flash easily. I've been running CM10.1 for a while.

You can also ODIN back to stock easily (which will remove the recovery as well as the MODIFIED status).

Hi there,

I'm new here, infact, this is my first post !

I'm a mobility engineer and have been given the task of creating an SOE for our company's PDA units. we use the i-mate (as is stated in my profile).

I have no troubles adding what i need to for my extended ROM(ms_.nbf). what I need to do is gain access to the main ROM (NK.nbf) I have "WM2003 ROM Image Editor", and a password list supplied, but none of them work, I have scoured google looking for ways to access my ROM, but all hits refer to is older versions.

as stated above, my ROM version is 1.72.00. I need access to this so I can tailor the complete operating system to my requirements.

If anyone can help me with this, I'll be eternally gratefull.

Also, is there an easy way to gain access to the ROM on other devices?

As, I'm sure that once I have cracked the ROM, created my SOE, that the device itself will become obsolete, and I will have to start again on other hardware.

I did use the search function in the forum, unfortunately, I couldn't find what I needed. So appologise if something along this topic has been posted before.

Thanks in advance!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
you may use xda2nbftool.exe to calculate password of your ROM, as far as I remember it is "-t" switch. Then you can dump the ROM contents with dumprom.exe. You cannot modify the rom by rom kitchen because it is for XDA1, but you can modify its source code. And in general you should not modify ROM. Everything you need can be done by modifying the extended rom.

On most devices ROM is located in the first 32 MB of physical memory. You should use VirtualCopy function to access them and dump to storage card or anywhere you like.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twinair:
thanks for your reply mamaich.

when i use xda2nbftool.exe, it seems to only reveal passwords for ms_.nbf and radio_.nbf.

when i use NK.nbf as the input file, it doesn't even check it.

would you know what syntax i would use to reveal the password of NK.nbf?

I tried -t as you suggested, but it didn't seem to help. I ran the xda2nbftool.exe to bring up a list of switches, but alas, i am new to this, it didn't seem to work for me no matter what i tried.

reason i would like to get into the ROM, is so I can have a look at how the OS works, starts etc etc.

The SOE i need to make is for several of our clients, some of who are government and financial institutions and they have many requirements. I have been able to add alot to my SOE viia the extended ROm, as you just suggested, but I want to have more control over what goes onto the unit.
