SlimBean Rom works on SCH-S960L

Not sure if I'm on the same page, but I just flashed the SlimBean rom for the Sprint SIII to my StraightTalk SIII last night and haven't found any issues. Calls, texts, data, etc all are normal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikey98277:
What did you use to root it? The Sprint ROMs should work since it is a brother of the sprint model with a few tweeks for strait talk. But with the GS2 from strait talk that was a ATT type phone you still had to use a different recovery to get it to work but you could use any of the ROMs..... so any info on how you flashed Slimbean would be great, thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnDoe00:
I'm also wondering if the sprint s3 options in the galaxy toolkit are ok to use on sch-s960l...I read that the camera may not function...also I WILL donate to anyone one who can provide step by step, comprehendable instructions to root and flash slim bean with no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] befrosty8612:
This post should work. (QBKing77's video here) All I did was copy SuperUser zip file to the phone, ODIN'd ClockworkMod to the phone, rebooted to CWM, flashed the SuperUser, rebooted and it was rooted. Really not much to it, seemed too easy to me, but it stuck, didn't lose root after reboot.

I did notice some wonky data issues once I flashed SlimBean. My first post was edited to show that it pretty much locked onto whatever tower I was closest to at the time of the flash, so when I was driving around, once I lost connectivity to that tower, I had no data. Still could call but no data. Had to reflash SlimBean to connect to the next tower, but again, lost it since I was still driving around. Back to rooted Stock now.

Lately I've been trying to install CM 10 but they have a check to see if your phone's build.prop file has the SPH-L710 value in it (ro.phonecode or something), and obviously since we don't have sprint phones, ours says SCH-S960L. I edited the build.prop file and put the sprint code in there, but then it said the ro.bootloader value was incorrect. That line isn't even in the StraightTalk's build.prop so I added it, but it still didn't want to flash.

Next step is to edit the ROM itself and remove those checks. Kinda skeptical about that, since they're there for a reason. But, for the sake of research/advancement of mankind, I'm gonna try it anyway.

Does anyone have the 16 digit password for the s960l?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gameplayer203:
You can edit the assert prop in the updater script of any d2spr rom. I personally use root browser from the rom toolbox from jrummy. Extract the rom, then go to META-INF>com>google>android>updater script. Open the script as an editable text document. You will see the ro.bootloader lines. Simply take out those lines, or modify them for your specific bootloader. If you downloaded the official update when you activated your phone, it will more than likely be S960LWYAMD6. Save it, then simply rezip everything, and flash. That's it. Just remember it's probably not a good idea to try this with any rom that includes bootloader or modem updates. But you SHOULD be fine with anything cyanogen-based. It's worked flawlessly for me but all phones are different, so use cation and always flash at your own risk.... Well, hope this helps some people out there. I've been having this same issue for a while and couldn't find anything that helped, until I got bored one day and just started messing around with random stuff. Haha. Happy flashing :p

Stock Recovery

Hey guys!

Just wondering what my options are for getting the upcoming update to Android 4.3. I have a rooted SCH-S960L on the stock rom with CWM recovery (Touch version) 6.x....I was told that I would need the stock recovery installed in order to install the upcoming 4.3 OTA, but how do I do this? Where can I get the recovery.tar for use w/ODIN to reinstall the stock recovery? If I use KIES to reinstall the factory firmware will this also reinstall the stock recovery? Could I use the Sprint L710 stock recovery.tar since this is essentially the same phone? What should I do?

Anyone with helpful info PLEASE HELP!! THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wickedclown691:
I've read on that Straight Talk doesn't update their phones at all. So what is on it is what will stay on it unless there are custom roms for them. Which I am currently looking for. The topic I read it in mentioned a gingerbread phone that was never updated despite the same phone on other carriers being updated. The ST Customer Service forum had a post saying check their Terms and Conditions(which not sure what that had to do with updating their phone).

ask your favorite rom devs to add this to their d2spr device trees. it will make it so that there wont be any more need to edit updater scripts, i already sent this info to carbon rom d2spr dev. if/when he merges you guys will be able to use carbon rom without editing anything, just flash in recovery :)

edit: seems CM will be the first http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54652/ starting nov 27th you can download sprint d2spr builds and with a sprint based recovery they will flahs just fine for you guys.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jayplast:
question

how did you root the sch s960l I have this phone and I want to root it bad. I emailed customer service at straight talk and they told me they would not be updating the phone to 4.3 :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unlimitedsol77:
They also said that the phone woukd be stuck on ICS also...

As for rooting use SKUNKAPE1's guide on here for rooting the Sprint S3. The only addition to his step-by-step is to install STERRICSON's version of BusyBox once you finish up with the TeamEpic root.

Will tell you though that most of the Sprint S3 roms will not be fully functional on this phone however...everything usually works except the cammera/gallery app. Xposed framework mods do work very well however.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:

So am I stuck with the 4.1.2 android version on the SCH-S960L?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Absolutely not. You can root and install cwm or twrp and then throw on any Sprint rom and kernel. Currently I'm running StaticPower with DKP 4.3 TouchWiz. Theres also 4.4.1 options still in early development but theyre looking and running really well. If you brick, look for my "S960L debrick img please" thread for the SD files to unbrick. Requires a 16gb class 10 sd card, but hope you won't need it. I really need to get the tar files to shabbypenguin to make an easier Odin restore >_<
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattb23:
Last time I installed a ROM a bunch of things went wrong, kept losing internet, didn't have 4g anymore, etc etc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Mine isnt activated so I wouldnt know anything about that, plus you can't install Sprint radios because they just dont work, but when I initially unbricked mine I had no sound or working radio. I flashed CM 10.0.0 and it brought it all back and have flashed everything from there with no issues, including 4g connection. Again, my device is inactive so I'm not sure. Has anyone been able to get the MSL from the MD6 baseband yet? Would love to try and flash my Virgin Mobile service to it. And no alogcat, getmymsl and MEID converter havent worked

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattb23:
I can't seem to find the stock rom for sch-s960l either, so kinda scared to root again. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
I dont have one either as my brock was after installing Sprint stock then bricked. I believe I installed CWM via Odin without even rooting. There is a guide to rooting somewhere, though it slips my mind exactly where. Google it, its there. From there you can just make a backup for yourself. Again of you brick, check my thread for the fix. Its pretty flawless
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattb23:
so since my phone is completely stock right now, how can I like, make a restore point back to what it is now if things go wring with the root and rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Not entirely sure on how to get the stock recovery. Maybe someone with root and stock can dump the recovery.img for us. After installing cwm you can make a backup from there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattb23:
and how do i do that? sorry, I'm quite a noob at this. :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:
Follow the tutorials in the Sprint Galaxy SIII section on how to use Odin to flash CWM Recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattb23:
any advice on where to find roms or what rom would you suggest?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonhart6505:

You need to delete the "assert" line up to the last "l710" in the updater-script within the rom zip. Google it, mad easy. Use Winrar for best results

Straight talk only updates from the same versions of software, so they updated to 4.1.2 because that is the same version that came on the phone. they do not update the versions if you have gingerbread, you're stuck with it, if you have jelly bean you're stuck with it. I have this phone and talked to straight talk and that is what they said.

Straight Talk updates any phones that haven't been activated, I've had my Galaxy s3 for 6 months and I'm still at version 4.1.2, Samsung has most of their phones upgraded to 4.4.2 . I had the same problem with my s2 from Straight Talk that's why I got the s3 but now I'm just pissed lmao.

I hope you figured it out since you posted this, but I have the Galaxy s3 through Straight Talk (SCH-S968C) & I just learned how to root/flash it. First I downloaded Cydia Impactor, you have to make sure that your USB debugging is on in your phone settings (developer options), and that you have "Unknown Sources" allowed in your security option in settings. Your phone has to be plugged in to your computer through your USB chord, make sure you have an SD card, and you have to have drivers installed for your phone. You can go to Computer>"Right Click">Manage>Device Manager and your drivers should be listed in there. Then you go to Cydia, with your phone plugged in, and click start. Don't unplug your phone until it's done! Then you should restart your phone, and download "SuperSU" then download ROM manager, follow the instructions and Flash your phone. I'm still trying to find a ROM for 4.4.2 :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
did you just ask if i have root on my phone can i use root apps?

and i would say look through this thread and if you can't find the answer then if your latest stock rom is 4.4.2 then try using Towel Root to get root but with this method you need to have SuperSU and Busy Box apps on your phone you can get those from the play store but Towel toot has its own website download page just goggle it :)

I did a really, really dumb thing a few months ago. I flashed a wrong something or another to fix an issue I had with my keyboard crashing after flashing another wrong thing..

Anywho, I couldn't get the damn keyboard to stop crashing for the life of me, so I set out to FORMAT/ CLEAR EVERYTHING ON MY PHONE. Yikes.

At this point, I can boot into recovery(CWM) and DL mode, but my PC will not recognize my phone at all. I installed your S3 toolkit v7.0, hoping it would help, but nay.

I cannot boot fully into Android to allow usb debugging, etc.

I can mount and unmount internal sd, cache, etc, but no drivers are being installed because it is not being recognized.

I've uninstalled Kies, etc.

If you boot into DL mode and run odin on your PC does it fail to see the device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Daniel_NC:
I'm waiting on my PC to free up again(currently on a Mac). I had not tried Odin because in the past I was unable to mount internal SD, which I understood was keeping it from being recognized. I instead thought the Toolkit would do the trick automatically, though I most likely had the wrong idea. Everything is mountable again (for some odd reason), so I will give it a go.

Could I accomplish downloading drivers and flashing rom to device using Odin alone? Or should I use the Toolkit?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
Installing the drivers is independent from using odin. Install the drivers on the PC, fire up odin, connect phone (that has been booted into DL mode) and see if it connects. If it does, just flash a stock image and you are back in business.

You can use this driver http://d-h.st/vMk
