I tried to root my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 using Odin and CWM. It worked fine. Then I restarted it, and now it freezes on the Samsung Galaxy SIII splash screen.

I've tried everything I can find to fix it... Retrying the rooting process, trying to push the original build.prop and other commands through ADB shell but had permissions denied, and if Android Commander actually detects my phone, it doesn't let be change the /system/ folder.

I can still access manual mode and download mode, and that's it.

I've messed everything up and I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't want to do a factory reset, because I apparently didn't back anything up properly, and I don't know how to install a new ROM, and even if I did, I would lose all the music and pictures I had on my internal storage, which includes the last few un-backuped pictures of my recently deceased pet. I'm out of options.

Please help me, and at least tell me how to save the music, pictures, and downloads off my internal storage, and I'll cut my losses after that.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
1. Wrong section.

2. You've f@#ked up your phone to the point where you have to use Odin flash back to stock. The PC won't read your phones internal storage at this point.

3. If you're by a computer go to this link here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974114 it will take you back to stock without wiping your data.

hey friends it shows status 7 error on almost all rom's while installing through recovery , so can someone suggest a good recovery
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] suj_the_pirate:
Use TWRP Recovery, it's one of the best you can find for the hTC Explorer. Here's a good guide on installing it - theunlockr . com/2013/03/18/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-on-the-htc-explorer

k dude will try it
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AIndoria:
Don't. Trust me, don't. Even if you want to, Do the 2.3.3.0 version. Any version above that, do not flash as they'll end up in Updating Binary error while flashing some ROMs.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] DeveloperOne:
Use TWRP v2.6 its the best recovery ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pico hackr:
tnx guys will check it

So I went on trying the leaked Samsung firmware for my GT-I9300, everything seems fine, may be even better than the last one released here in Mexico, thing is, now that I'm trying to pull some files from my device via ADB it says that it is unauthorized, I searched for a while and I found that there needs to pop a prompt to authorize my PC to connect via ADB, but there's no such prompt. I tried checking/unchecking the USB debug mode on my device, restarting it, re-plugging it, different ports, ADB over the network, restarting my PC, anything that I can think of, and no luck.

Can anyone give me some insight on what can I do?

Thanks in advance and I apologize beforehand for my weird English.

I didn't find anything on my build.prop about that, also, no pop up shows, not the prompt to authorize my PC nor the one you mentioned

No, didn't tried it via recovery, I might try, but it may become a hassle, since I do this frequently. Also, I tried this before and after rooting it with no effect whatsoever.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
So, after messing around with trying to root the S3 via adb scripts for a while, trying to get fastboot working, I came across several sources that the S3, and Samsung altogether, does not use fastboot. (I didn't know this, as I've never owned a Samsung phone before.)

Considering the lack of fastboot, is there anyway to adb push the su and busybox binaries and root the phone via adb scripts? I've tried, but as you all are aware, I'm sure, the adb remount script is a forbidden operation.

I have a Virgin Mobile (VM) S3, same model number SPH-L710. The reason I want to root via ADB is to avoid tripping the flash counter, as ODIN is required for every root method, and I'm not sure if Triangle Away is compatible with the VM bootloader. I am also reluctant to use CF-Autoroot from XDA, as it contains a Sprint boot.img, and I don't want to mess up my phone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much for this. What's the likelihood of bricking my phone if this exploit doesn't work? After looking at the run script, I know it's just pushing the binaries to temp directories. But, I already replaced my phone under store warranty once, and won't be able to do it twice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
None. If it fails, nothing bad will happen

Speaking from experience here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
I guess I'll join the club. Exploit failed. There was a minor incremental update to the VM S3 recently. Maybe, they patched that loophole?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
VM is Sprint there should be no difference. You can flash a costom recovery then just flash the team epic root file. It's not going to touch your bootloader or anything. Triangle away should work spot on for the VM device as well.

Remember

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
Thank you for your reply. I would have searched, but I didn't really know where to begin. But, your reply has me pondering... If I have the stock recovery.img, can I flash via odin after unrooting and triangle away to restore to stock?

Again, sorry for adding clutter.

EDIT: Kind of answered my own question in a sense, as the mere flash of stock recovery via ODIN would trip flash counter... conundrum.

My phone is currently working, but when I try to enter recovery mode, I get a error saying something along the lines of, "couldn't do a normal boot" and it enters Odin mode. Odin, however, fails saying "write protection operation failed". I think is what caused it is me trying to unlock the bootloader using Goo.Im. I can boot up normally and I have root access. Is their any way to fix this problem? I've tried doing a factory reset in settings and it took me to the couldn't do a normal boot screen. Thank you so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jeffreii:
You need to read up on MF3. There are like 100 threads already with people trying/asking the same thing.

You cannot install a custom recovery on MF3 firmware. You can only root. Stop trying or you might brick your phone.

If you tried to install a custom recovery, then you probably destroyed your stock recovery...so you're stuck with that for now because there is no way to ODIN to stock and fix everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] supitsronnie:
I have no stock recovery. You are right. So once an ODIN MF3 firmware is released, I will be able to ODIN back with a functional recovery? Will I even be able to ODIN back with no recovery installed? Thanks for the quick response.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but this is the only one that I saw that talks about compiling from LG kernel source.

I think I did everything like your instructions say but the output folder for my kernel doesn't have a zImage file. The closest name is Image but it's 14.4MB (way bigger than viper kernel, for instance) and it doesn't boot via fastboot boot Image. I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some pointers.

I need help with this. I have noticed that my phone battery lasts a very short when is on a 3g network, using or not data traffic

To prove this, first i left my phone before going to sleep, on 3G network at 100% and Stamina Mode On, but after 6 hours the battery go down until 82%(6 hours and 37 min sleeping). I made the same experiment but in "Only 2G" mode, and the battery go from 100% to 98%.

Also i've made the same test on 3G network and NO Data connection. Results, 100% to 80% in 7 hrs.

View attachment 2244850

Finally and following the advice of an user from sony support forum, i did a factory reset using PC Companion(12.0.A.2.245). So, no root, no applications, no sync with google, no nothing. I left it at 100% and dropped to 82% in 7hrs on a 3G network without data connection. :(

View attachment 2244851

Besides, this problem causes the projections of battery life do not change when you turn on Stamina Mode. I mean, Stamina Mode works(disable data connections) but there's no differences between have data or not, the phone uses the same battery.

So it is not normal that battery consumption on a 3g network while the phone is idle. I've made some screenshots and as you can see, the process com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup, has to many wakes. I read about this en xda-forum and is seems to be related whit Fast Dormancy, but not sure if that's the real problem.

I lost the screenshots when i did the factory reset but can see in this thread of Sony Support forum: Sonymobile forum: 3G and Battery Drain

I hope you can help me. Greetings

PS: sorry my bad english
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parkside:
Only thing I can suggest it's leaving WiFi on. This consumes less power when idle.

Really confused by people's problem with the battery, in use its average, but stamina mode works perfectly for me.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
The 3G radio can be one of the biggest wasters of power in a phone especially if you are a long way from the cell tower or your local cell is very busy. Even when your local cell is close, when it has a lot of simultaneous connections the signal strength goes down and your phone continually tries to reconnect, in order to remain on the network, using full power.

If you are lucky to live or work near cells which don't get very busy, the 3G radio reduces its power output, and probably also doesn't have to reconnect as often.

Still, your case sounds a bit extreme, so maybe there is something else involved exchanging background data when it shouldn't be.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fefepato:
Thanks for the answer.

I thought the problem was the signal. So I checked the signal strength at the place where I did the tests and the results were that the signal is between -75 dBm and-85dBm. That's a good intensity. Besides I live in a small town, so I doubt that the local cell is very busy. :confused:
