If you already have a stock rom and recovery installed and you don't have an sd card handy, it's easy to update the zip using ADB sideload. Assuming you have used ADB before and know how to use it on your computer

Download the file and rename it something easy like "update.zip"

reboot the phone into recovery by pressing volume up, home, and power

select the option to update via ADB

plug in phone to computer with USB cable

on your computer open a terminal window and if you want to make sure the ADB connection works type "ADB devices" you should see some numbers listed followed by "sideload"

flash the file by typing "adb sideload update.zip" if you named it update.zip that is, then press enter :)

once it's done hit the power button to reboot

profit??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evo3d6:
Ok I know this is a dumb question does it have to be on sd card or internal card for recovery to pick it up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] counterfeit187:
if you are trying to flash it from the phone it needs to be on an external SD card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LancerEVA06:
I'm hearing rooting is not working after the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] counterfeit187:
So, I know this is supposed to be the official update, and I flashed via adb, but KIES and SprintZone don't seem to understand that. The two screenshots show what I'm talking about. These should both say "current" or "Up to date"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ruthlessptizzle:
Do u need to be unrooted or can I just reinstall my rooted stock ROM and do the update

This is what Kies says for my phone. Samsung Kies doesn't know Sprint's update is available. Wait for the OTA.

After the update you have to use Kies3

So once this is uploaded, flash in TWRP and then I have to root the phone again, or will this zip file come rooted?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Guys, please direct further discussion about Knox to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541343

And keep discussion in this thread strictly limited to the OTA zip itself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No way to root without tripping knox.

You can always root the normal way (flash recovery with odin, flash root, bam), but that will trip Knox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
and knox isnt going anywhere anytime soon...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yup...

We can get root on Knox-ed 4.3 when the stock tar is released though. Just they will still be unable to get custom recovery/kernels even when that happens
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hondroid:
So about when can we expect the unknoxed zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
uploading at a constant rate of .5mb/second saying cnexus uploaded 15 minutes ago, another 20 minutes, however thats the minumum
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:

I gotta clean things up a bit like [MENTION=2781597]StaticMaal[/MENTION] mentioned above

speaking of [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] are you gonna bake in supersu?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I think I'll just have it as a flashable because root on 4.3 in general is kinda wonky

i know if you havent taken the update you can. but someone said you said differently. i linked above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yeah we were talking about it on hangouts, he probably just misunderstood what I was saying

Flashing this rom without being on Knox bootloader will be like flashing any other 4.3 rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
thanks for clearing that up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
the only difference is this one will have stable signal!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fitz420:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PvtJoker:
My phone wasnt rooted and either was my wifes... but we both get the same message? would wiping the cache and factory reset clear the issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
uninstalling knox is a good idea too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
are you talking about the jpeg download thing. if so go to downloads and delete it. reboot recovery. wipe cache and dalvik and your good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ruthlessptizzle:
I'm so damn lost here....so I have mk3 modem running...is that the boot loader..I know its a noob question...and I'm trying to understand.....I can flash this update through cmw and be OK and still be rooted? I really don't wanna mess my phone up here

rocking the 4.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wired0980:
Yes can flash through recovery. Modem has nothing to do with boot loader. Will be able to flash like any other 4.3 Rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PvtJoker:
How would i uninstall knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
STOP dont do anything. the modem is not a boot loader. the zip posted currently is for stock with knox. wait. cnexus when done will post the 4.3 rom. i presume in a new thread in development. then you can update. unless you want knox. why idk. but dont touch a thing till cnexus post the actual rom. then you can flash via cwm or twrp. like any other rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
your not on the knox bootloader then. as i said modem is different. you need to know what you flashed. you cant run custom recovery or kernels on the knox bootloader without voiding your warranty..recovery yes but kernel should cause a brick. so you did not flash this threads zip.you may wanna read a bit. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541343

warranty's are over rated anyways. mines been voided permantly since the summer, and if it breaks i just fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
Not the point I was trying to make. He posted before about modem and bootloader. He doesn't know the difference. Someone else coming along could read that and think it works and get a brick
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
that guy could also get a brick in his window ;) the zip posted in the op wont flash in custom recovery anyways will it? so everyone should be ok

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
You read it wrong. The file posted in the OP of this thread IS the OTA. Exactly the same. It will only load with the stock recovery on completely stock phones, and will leave you unrooted and unable to go back to earlier ROMS. The post you linked is referring to the ROM that CNexus is extracting, but has not posted yet. Two very different things.

my apologies, I assumed (yikes!) that pizzle was talking about flashing the non-ota that's to be released later, not the ota that's in the op.

on that note, I also assumed (see where I went wrong) that bigpoppa was referring to the non-ota as well (referring it to the same as the ota when flashing).

sorry for the confusion. I will try not to assume as much in the future :good: :silly:

I'm new to this phone and part of XDA myself which is why I'm mostly reading and not posting.

Wifi does not work on the stock 4.3 kernel with a non-MK3 bootloader...they integrated some component of wifi into the bootloader I think...

You can, all the bootloader does is give a surefire way check warranty status. Do not attempt to flash lower firmware or you will definitely brick though.

Where did you find the KNOX containers apk's? I would like to check them out. I am very interested in the idea of separating personal and business on my phone. Could KNOX limit the damage of a remote wipe? I ask this because a colleague of mine connected to the corporate email system with his new Windows phone. The admins made a mistake and issued a remote wipe. He lost everything. Good thing it was a new phone without a lot of data on it.

If KNOX makes a nice container for work, then they can wipe the work data and keep their hands off my personal stuff. If that is how it works, then it is a really great feature.

I wonder why the release doesn't have the management apk's.
