Will do in a sec :thumbup::thumbup:

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] I am getting ready to post a port from the n7100 to the t0ltespr, I'll PM you a link when it's up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
New version (5.15) is working perfectly :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks Phil
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
I will be flashing very shortly thanks cnexus and thanks Phil for bringing this to sprint

Sent with a phone running a kernel XDA banned!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigwillyg:
This recovery is awesome. Without 4ext, this is my next choice. I am loving it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Been on the official for about 10 hours, everything is outstanding and working great, thanks again guys

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I finally had a chance to flash and check this out, very impressive. I like it a lot. Thanks for all the hard work devs. I too had some withdrawals from 4ext recovery, it was very nice as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
It is a very cool recovery :thumbup::thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PhxkinMassacre:
I love this. Only thing is that I miss clicked a few times and decided to rock it like the old days and use the power and volume buttons to navigate and disabled touch. Like it more than any touch recovery. Less mistakes and this is stable as a stone :D thanks for this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
Strange, this one should be rather stable to erroneous touch

I added many blocks and also confirmations before any sensitive task
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PhxkinMassacre:
[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] oh no its not the recovery's fault. i am just clumsy. and since im a college student and it was the weekend when i was using it you can kinda guess what aided my clumsiness ;) haha so don't fret about the recovery, its the best i have ever used :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDudeAbides:
Love the wipe everything option under data factory reset :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I've been using this recovery since it was released a few days ago and I absolutely love it. One thing I would like to suggest (I don't know if it's possible), I would love a password protected recovery. I've always wanted this feature on every recovery. This one is works perfectly though. Thanks again dev.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKenRob:
Love it... but cannot NAME my backups

Started using it yesterday but when I want to flash a backup cannot tell which is which
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
Hello im on the latest version and just noticed im not able to transfer anything to my sdcard through recovery. When i mount usb storage in mounts and storage it throws a error saying its disk write protected. I mounted external_sd and then tried again and gotthe same error. Anyone else or just me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
could be your external sd is corrupted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I'll check later, I haven't used that yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Evilone69tmg:
Nice catch. Forgot about that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
Hmm. Okay. Don't know what a PIT file is yet, though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KaM1KaZ3:
Unzip the file you have on your pc open up Odin click on AP look for the tar.md5 file where you unziped it make sure you have the box checked next to Ap wait for the file to verify... put your device in download mode Connect your device to your PC wait a minute are two for any drives to install once it's done click start at the bottom be patient it might take some time after its done device should reboot give it some time to boot everything after its done set up your Device an your done ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] savvymatthew:
Anyone know if the recovery works with the S3 (SPH-L710T) that came out ? got it on blackfriday.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
It should work on your S3, yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] savvymatthew:
OK, Its just i cant find any .tar files if something goes wrong, Cant find to much info about this version of the S3.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Just make a backup as soon as you get your Recovery installed

My ROM: WICKED X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00b-xda-disciple:
Just don't try to mess with the bootloader(might brick or screw up the tri band) and backup right after you get recovery. I hear those tri band s3s are pretty cool. Congrats.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
And if you flash another kernel you'll have rotation problems. That's already been well established with the L710T. Keep the stock kernel.

My ROM: WICKED X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] savvymatthew:
Thanks guys for the info, yeah I didn't plan on changing roms anyway.

I the recovery and su binary from it. Then installed su from the play store... Working perfect with no problems I can see. Bustybox, xposed is all good.

Was a steal at 80 Dollars on black Friday. And I wasn't even aware of how new they were thought it was gonna be an old s3.

All I need now is a data toggle button for the notification panel. I assume theres a .zip somewhere I can flash for it? ... that's what I did for the s4 active I have.

And why isn't there a toggle for data ? Is there some complex answer ? Lol

Ok, guess it's not that easy to find what I'm talking about? Any way to get the data toggle back ? Can only find how to had a flashlight toggle.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00b-xda-disciple:
Take a look at the wicked X rom from [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] . It has all the toggles and a lot of other awesome stuff. For real, it's crazy cool man.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] savvymatthew:
I would but theres no .tar files if I really mess it up, And people are not finding to many compatible roms with mt model. Can't risk it. Plus the phone is for someone not to phone savvy.

I found just a zip of the toggle in that thread with the costume rom... asked if it might be compatible with stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Don't flash any .tar files. They are for the regular s3 and the full system ones have modems and bootloaders. You'll brick your triband. Stay away from .tar files. Zips are your friend
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I think he was saying that there aren't any tar file for the L710T... Which is true at the moment.

My ROM: WICKED X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Yeah I just re read that and noticed. Oops. Good catch. I thought he meant a tar for wicked. I gotta stop reading so fast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TdiGuy:
I am trying to switch from clockwork mod to this recovery but i cant seem to install it. I have downloaded the zip named http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip and Link: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/philz_touch_6.41.6-d2lte.zip

But i cant get either one to install.

My phone is the sprint s3 with aftermarket rom and clockwork recover ver 6.0.5.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
It should install fine. But of youre having trouble try extracting the recovery image out of that zip and then installing that with flashify (play store)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Or use the tar file with Odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TdiGuy:
I just figured i would try to open the zip files and it says the zip files are bad. Now that i found a md5 checker i see that the hash does not match. So either something went wrong with the download or the file on the server is different.

the hash i get for file : philz_touch_6.41.6-d2lte.zip.md5 is 7316c74c8f64ce97eb6ef47fdc48b76c It is listed as: 7dfc8be28d7b19a3c19de25c92e6fc47

the hash i get for file: philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip is 4d7 whatever it is listed as: 508d8b5b6c394be29f2347fdedb7da72

For good measure i have deleted and downloaded these two files 3x I havent checked the file every time but i have attempted to install and it has not worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
What are you installing it with?

For Odin use the one that ends in ".tar.md5"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TJj33p3rz:
This is a tar for the Model L710T works like a charm.Been tested I use it because I keep trying all Roms to see what works.Works for Virgin mobile Boost Mobile and Sprint.Sorry if I clogged up this post.

Sorry I quoted the wrong post.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TdiGuy:
I was trying to use clockwork. I switched to twrp but i hear this one has less issues. Assuming i can find a good download. With the download not matching the file on server i think it answeres why the zip i have been downloading is corrupt / unopenable.

I normally mess around with my phone while i am at work ( 12 hours of monitoring firewalls does not take much effort ) which means that i don't have a way to connect a computer to the phone ( workstations are very locked down. I cant even change the dam background ).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
There is a Philz 6.57.5 build for d2lte that is floating around. I did a backup with it tonight with no problems. I need my phone tomorrow morning for work. After that I will try flashing a LP Rom and eventually restoring my backup of TW Tribute. The only problem I noticed upon doing the Backup is that the final compression % and Backup size show as 0, but the Backup seems to be a reasonable size. This build is supposed to work better with LP Roms. I have not had any problems with the version posted here but it has been a long time since a new build has appeared. I know that Phil has stopped development in this but there are several builds that were done after the last one shown here. Maybe if it turns out this new build is OK, which I suspect that it is, someone might post a link to it here in this thread if that is OK.

Personally. I see no need to switch back to TWRP until I have to. I used to use TWRP and loved it, but I read about too many problems with it all the time. I realize that LP may mean that Philz no longer works, but I don't think that time has come yet.

Maybe someone will build 6.59.0 for the S3 while Philz Recovery still has a useful life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I had a problem with Backup and Restore on the new one I switched back. I would personally only use it to flash Lollipop and use the old version of Philz when using TouchWiz. It didn't restore properly and then when I went back to recovery the backup was gone.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TJj33p3rz:
Thats weird how everyone has different things happen lol im on the triband model everything worked great for me.I guess all phones work in their own mysterious ways [emoji1]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
Good info. I think I will flash back to my original and do another backup and then flash the new one and see if it can restore each backup. My backup is on the SD card according to Root Explorer and it is about the right size.

I will be cautious on this...

Thanks for the info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yeah I had to do a clean flash of WS5X last night after trying a Lollipop build out. Kinda sucked.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TJj33p3rz:
Wish that lollipop was fixed man its smooth lol.Every time I flash one my backups never work trying from lollipop I have to odin back to stock reroot then restore my backups on any recovery version.Yes it sucks lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
It works fine for me. Been using it for weeks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Ok then it was probably LP... Lollipop encrypts data on your internal SD, I just wiped that and flashed my ROM... The build I tried there weren't very many problems... found it on G+, Android Ice Cold Project.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TJj33p3rz:
Yes but won't work on my model L710T only one I've found for our model is a boost build from LiquidSmooth they all show no baseband [emoji25]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Team Octos is working on a L710T and L710 OctoL 5.0 rom currently still in private testing they don't want to publicly release it till 90-100% of the bugs are gone lol but i have tested some of their builds and they run freaking fast last one i tried was 6 weeks ago, have to go back and see what they have fixed :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I'm running aicp lollipop build now. Running pretty good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TJj33p3rz:
I emailed to test but he said he had enough testers I wasn't quick enough [emoji25]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
if you want I'll talk to him cause me and the other L710T tester have been a little flaky this past couple of weeks....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TJj33p3rz:
Thank you that would be awesome. I have lots of time to test.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Works fine for me for TW and 4.4 and Lollipop...Installed and restore ok

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

I ran into this too but the quick fix for this without Odin is to do your normal full wipe and be sure and format your internal SD before flashing or restoring anything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
Short answer is: I AGREE! THANK YOU JESUS I FINALLY GOT MY BACKUP RESTORED!

I am not sure I can remember everything that I did to get my backup from noon today restored, but it was a PITA.

I did not have to use ODIN, which is good because my port is about shot.

I finally installed am old Wicked-X zip. Then wiped that and restored my Tribute backup using the older recovery.

Thank you, Ryan. Because of your advice I made a backup with the old recovery today. If I had not I am pretty sure I would have had to flash a zip and start over.

It might be related to TW Roms only, not sure, but it is tricky.

I think you are right that it is best to use the new Philz for testing LP and not for backing up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
I'm on the original S3 and flashed the new Philz. It's working fine for me. I flashed a backup of Tribute made on the older Philz with it and then restored a S5 Xperience backup made with the new Philz. Everything worked great. New version works for some and not others. Funny how phones are finicky like that but they are.

EDIT:

Scratch the no issues. I flashed the newest build of LS and when I tried to restore the backup the S5 Xperience I made with the newest PhilZ mentioned, it didn't restore hardly any of the apps. It didn't even install Play. The restored ROM was buggy too.

Back to the last version of Philz I went. Thankfully it installed the older backup of S5 I had made with the older version.

It figures......... . LOL! I make a post after I had tested it saying it was working fine and then... BAM!!! Something goes wrong. Heh.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Did you format your internal SD when you did your wipe?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
I will give this a try next time. I almost never format internal, so maybe it will become the new normal. Thanks for the tip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
Are there any known problems with using 6.48.4 for Lollypop Roms? Do we really need to use 6.57.5? Does anyone have a TWRP version zip file that can be flashed from recovery and is worth a darn on Lollypop? Not really wanting to use Odin since my port is iffy. Should be able to flash back to a Philz zip too.

Just asking...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
6.48.4 you may experience issues restoring backups on lollipop. Some people had data issues, I had issues with the WiFi breaking on restores. I've searched all over for a TWRP but couldn't find one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
You don't have to flash zips of recoveries. Just get the app flashify. Then you can install recovery.IMG files without even a reboot. The only version of Twrp that I have seen that can actually mount external SD is pretty old so I wouldn't try to flash lollipop Roms with it. I've never had a problem with philz 6.48.4 or 6.57.5 flashing KitKat or lollipop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Advertize:
I havent had any issues using TWRP on Lollipop roms! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FatalIll:
Where does one even find 6.57.5?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Not here, it's not official... I would PM one of the folks talking about it.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
which twrp are you using? The latest wont mount anything. Not internal, external, or even system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Advertize:
2.8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] midnightmaraude:
anyone have a working link for philz touch? I try downloading the file from goo.im but the downloads all fail.

TIA

never mind. My phone downloaded it fine. I'll just transfer it over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hilla_killa:
Is there anyway to get date time to stick i have to change it everytime i make backups so the dates will be right

SGS3_SPH-L710T_on_XDA_app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Under Philz Settings, make sure Auto Restore Settings is selected
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's called Time Daemon or something. For some reason when I use it though it screwed up the clock when booted, so if you experience that you know the cause.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kenjesse:
After you enable time deamon you need to set the proper time zone. Worked for me when I had the same problem of the time defaulting to 1980 or some sick weird date when booting to recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hilla_killa:
Probly a dumb question but do you enable time deamon in recovery?

SGS3_SPH-L710T_on_XDA_app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kenjesse:
Yes, that's how I got the time to stay correct when booting into recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yves010598:
does this work with canadian version s3. i currently have sgh-i747m(bell) 4.3rooted stock rom and i want to install this. will this work for me?

if i install the wrong version will my s3 get bricked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
I wouldn't try it since this is for Sprint in the U.S.A.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dyehya:
The op link refers to download the d2lte instead of the d2spr. I noticed the d2lte is more updated than the d2spr but I haven't been around since MD4 so want to ensure I won't have problems with the d2lte on our d2spr devices. I tried searching this thread for the answer but didn't find it if it is already answered!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Yes use d2lte. Sprint is one of the d2lte phones. D2lte is just about all of the u.s. s3's. Same with Roms, use d2spr or d2lte.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ajeevlal:
with this recovery, SD card i s not detected. The problem is same with the TWRP too. Does anyone have a work around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
It does read SD. Its sdcard1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
It's not the Recovery. Check your SD Card. Your SD Card could be corrupt, or possibly damaged. You can try formatting the SD Card. It may resolve the issue, and might save the SD Card. I would suggest using SD Formatter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ajeevlal:
it is not the problem with the SD card or path. The same problem is reported here . This happens with the new phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Those patches were applied long ago. And we've gone up a version of the Android OS since then. Look at the date on the thread. So the problem is your SD or your installation of the recovery. There are numerous users on both the L710T and L710 using Philz Recovery (over 10,000 total downloads) and I've never heard anybody having this issue. Backup your SD to your PC (hopefully it can read it) format it and then put your stuff back on and try again. Which version of the recovery are you using? How did you install it (Odin, flashed through another recovery, etc)? What phone model do you have?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PS4AndroidHacker:
d2spr or d2lte PhilZ Touch 6.59.0

Has anybody found the 6.59.0 version for our d2spr or d2lte? Any help appreciated!! I'm sitting on 6.48.4 right now and cant seem to find this newer recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Because it's not official
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ajeevlal:
i was installing the recovery thru Odin. I used two SD cards and the problem is the same with new version of TWRP or Philz but when using the recovery in the post i mention the phone was able to recognize the partition. May i will try with another SD this weekend but i hardly believe it may work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Twrp won't read on the VM or boost versions (except octos build of Twrp) but official philz 6.48.4 will work fine. Make sure its the most recent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ajeevlal:
i tried a different 16 GB SD card and it worked (previously i was using 32 GB, not sure the problem was with the card capacity) .

Thanks for all your help!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Your card must've been corrupted. I'm currently using this recovery with a 64gb card and I've also used 32gb card with no issues.

Just wanted to let you guys know that lrs121 has compiled Twrp 2.8.6.2 for virgin and boost s3 users. Twrp for virgin and boost

This version (2.8.6.2) has a new and improved UI.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ckvisme:
I haven't been able to readily find the answer, so it's probably a negative.

Can recovery be flashed via PhilZ recovery? ie use PhilZ to flash TWRP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ckvisme:
Seems the answer is yes but I may need recovery as a .zip rather than just the .IMG format . So I downloaded an old twrp flash able zip and re-archived the file (minus the old recovery) with the new recovery.img . Lol, good times, I think this should work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ckvisme:
Haha! It worked. Thx u very much for porting this recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JuggZaPoppiN:
Can this be flashed in twrp?

I tried and get an error
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PhxkinMassacre:
Woops accidental thanks. But yes, thats how I installed this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrox:
I get the same error. flashed back to twrp 2.3.1.0 and it works fine. flashed back to PhilZ same error again stating disk write protected. Also flashed Cnexus previous version, same error stating disk write protected.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Does_It_Matter:
How big is your microsd?

Flashed this and working fine - have a 32GB Class 10 microsd formatted as Fat-32
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbrox:
Mine is a SanDisk ULTRA 64GB Micro SD XCI formatted as FAT32. Best investment for my phone i ever made. If it doesn't support 64GB it's not a deal breaker for me, i'll still use it, I like the recovery. I can still swap files using USB once the rom is booted.;)

Ok, finally had a chance to confirm.. [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION], my external sdcard is mounting to my computer as a read-only CD

Maybe you did break something in repack?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I'll see if it works after just swapping the zImage from the d2tmo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
Ah, if you changed zImage it could be the cause

New Samsung kernels are locked and break root and adb

I use an older XXEMG4 kernel for all my repacks
