Can someone give me an untouched system dump, and unaltered boot.img?

In all that, I need a build.prop

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
How far along are ya
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Crunch140:
Ditto. I've got root on the OTA 4.3. Thanks!

FYI - hotspot is at Settings -> More Settings (under Network) -> Mobile Hotspot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PolarBearMI:
Did you have root before OTA ?

What saved your root ?

or did you have to re-root ? and what method did you use ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Crunch140:
Yes I had root before the OTA. Clockworkmod gave me the option to protect it, but i declined, and I got 4.3 OTA, unrooted, with the stock recovery.

I ran Saferoot, the link a few posts up in post #2082, and rooted easily. Verified with Super SU, OTA Blocker, and Titanium Backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pmdied:
Really stupid question here but this all has to be done through PC, correct?

How does one perform a system dump?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Have to use adb. Don't remember exact command. Can Google or search the forums.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PolarBearMI:
So I have removed root and root keeper etc and backed up my contacts along with all of the SD card and phone memory.

Parnoid much ? lol

Anyways one last concern is that I have busybox installed.

Will that cause a problem getting the OTA 4.3 update ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Am

Shouldn't. It is going to overwrite it. One thing that may stop it is if you are debloated. It looks for some of those system apps. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PolarBearMI:
I have some apps disabled but those were allowed by the system.

I didn't "freeze" anything while I had root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Long as they are still there should be OK. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PolarBearMI:
OK updated and it booted lol

Only 2 things so far...

when I booted it said "Custom" with a padlock

and swiftkey isn't a keyboard choice

First don't care, it boots and I'm good

Second, I'm sure there is a fix for this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Someone else posted it kicks out SwiftKey. Try downloading the newest one. :cool:

yup went back to play store, my apps and reinstalled it.

Next to get root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mojo601:
I know I've not posted a bunch but usually I just read and learn to do what I'm wanting to do. I used the safe root method mentioned earlier in this thread. Took 3 tries but I now have root verified by root checker. Worked like a champ:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PolarBearMI:
I'm one happy camper again with 4.3

I wanted this sooooooo badly so that I can strip some of the over zealous applications wanting permissions their app really doesn't need.

I.E. I want the app but don't want to give the permissions.

Oh happy days are here again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
actually there are play edition htc 1, s3 and s4's i think even a note 1,2, or 3 on VZW they call them "developer editions" and they've already had 4.3 for a while.

i multiply stand corrected. thank you both for increasing my correct and decreasing my incorrect knowledge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
I'm afraid your confusing the two. The gpe is only available on gsm so wont work on vzw. The developer edition is just like the retail phone but has an unlocked bootloader from the factory. I have a dev ed S4. As far as updates go, I don't think the dev ed will ever see an update. It is still officially on 4.2.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
None of the GPe or Nexus devices work on CDMA carriers. They're all listed on the Play Store and not one mentions a CDMA radio (Sprint or Verizon for example). GPe devices are all moving to KitKat 4.4.2 as of last week straight from Google. GPe = near stock android and if you look at any radio listing on the Play Store, they're all GSM radios and LTE is for AT&t/T-Mobile. Google isn't down with CDMA.

The developer edition of every device you named does not see updates from Google. There's nothing wrong with having a developer edition phone but its not the same as a Nexus like you infer.

im here bro , just got personal **** too and Seen Verizon galaxy gear support Firmware is out, anyone got that build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
How did you end up with that build? A system dump may still be useful. Maybe yours doesn't have the efuse switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Well you were legit and life is life =) people got what they had coming to them lol now they can not unlock their bootloader xD

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

The brick is caused by a new signing method the tripping of the qfuse just keeps you from going back but he almost definitely has it.. The only reason the note did not have the problem is because the note is an exynos board which does not have a qfuse being that it is to qualcomm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] donnyp1:
Thanks for the explanation zach. Still surprised my wife wanted to switch, but glad she did. 4.3 is smooth on note 2. Cant wait to put it on her s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:

Samsung UI

Is it just me or is Samsung's UI theme absolutely awful. Touchwiz with some holo with some AOSP all mixed up. They need a lesson from HTC and Apple on how to theme a phone for continuity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
Mentioned this in the other thread... thought I'd go ahead and do the update to 4.3. I'm at 4.1.2 rooted using the Casual 1-Click method... just rooted, nothing else.

Well, I've tried twice now and both times I get that the update was unsuccessful after the reboot.

Anyone else get this and if so, what was your solve?

Thanks all! After 2 unsuccessful goes, I'm thinking I might stay at 4.1.2, but wanted to see if there was something I'm doing wrong nonetheless.

Thanks!!!

The AT&T version devs managed to remove KNOX and get a ROM up, hopefully the same can be done for our phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
You're not going to get a working port of anything TW 4.3 until Samsung releases a working version so that we have a 4.3 kernel. There's really nothing new in 4.3 anyway.

And since Verizon hasn't even notified its support people , don;t stay up late waiting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
I would not expect the ota until Wednesday

Quite a few issues on the att and t mobile boards. Not looking forward to playing tech support on this on my wife and mil's phones

Hump day is as good a day as any. I just hope I can stop checking the OTA support page by then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Yeah me to
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
I can see the headlines: thousand of Verizon customers found a way to make thanksgiving traffic a little more bearable. They flashed a new s3 update and spent the next five hours rooting, tweaking, and fixing it. By the time they were done with the phone, more than half of their 20 mile road trip was over. This was an ingenious marketing plan from Samsung and Verizon since most people were so busy cursing other drivers (who apparently were looking at their phone not the road) that nobody complained about software bugs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Macrodroid:
Sprint guys just busted out a Knox free 4.3 rom! We'll probably have a working port before Verizon even releases their bloatcrap update now... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
can we flash sprint roms without much harm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] smart--phone:
Day 2

Still nothin'

Well, let's see what happens tommorow...

Wouldv'e never worried about this if I remember to unlock the bootloader on my VZW GS3 BEFORE I tired to flash CM 10.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
No. You need it converted to work with our phone. It can seriously brick your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Just flash back to stock ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
If you like lovely $500 paperweights, yes .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Macrodroid:
No. We would need to port it to our device first. We already have other ports for 4.1.2, and I think all we need is the 4.3 kernel to port their update...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
Again. Glad I checked. I thought the hardware was the same radios were diffrent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] smart--phone:
For some reason after cm was on the phone but wouldn't boot) it would get nowhere past the warning Verizon gives you about your os not being andriod

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josh8550:
I think it's evident why Verizon is taking so long. They want everyone to go ahead and upgrade to the Note 3 or S4 (particularly those with grandfathered in unlimited data), because at this moment one of the only distinguishable features of the S4 in comparison to the S3 is the update.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] K20Z1:
Yea, it seems that way, on that update we never had any issues with the battery, just the FC on the stock browser, we've always had pretty good cell reception where we are. But that Verizon backup constantly pops up saying there is no more space to make a backup and that it needs a password on both of our devices. We can live with it not too big a deal compared to other problems that could occur but hope that this new update is fairly bug free and provides a bit more snapiness.
