It's tough. I had to put my lab/dober mix down this year after 14 years. I cried like a girl on and off for a week. My thoughts are with you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rando991:
I read somewhere that this was caused by the current prl updated to lock even a weak 800Mhz signal over a strong 1900 Mhz signal (which I presume is the airave). So you need to be somewhere your phone doesn't see the weak signal. Mine has been doing this on 4.1.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffgus:
Thanks! I've been messing around with it. It seems to work like I want it too.I want to be able to adjust the unlock levels on my phone. The company I work for require PIN locks. It appears that KNOX doesn't allow me to turn off all screen locks, but I can set the pattern lock instead of PIN. The only problem I see with it so far is that there is a very limited set of apps that are wrapped and signed for use in KNOX.

The best part (from https://www.samsungknox.com/en/knox-consumer):

KNOX is not *all* bad. I do like that they are trying to solve the problem of BYOD. I do not like that the IT dept can normally remote wipe my phone just because I connect to their Exchange Server! KNOX kills that level of power.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wren2k:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsaucier0810:
MJ9 is for international version I believe I9300

I think MJ9 was originally the version they were going to release, but after there were so many problems with the international release they pulled it and fixed some bugs. MK3 is the updated version. Looks like a few websites never got updated.

Okay, so I flashed the 4.3 stock rooted ROM in the other thread. My data isn't working so I need to flash the new modem. Can somebody guide me on how to do that? I flashed the TWRP and.. that's as far as I've gotten. Help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wired0980:
Easy one go to the mk3 modem thread download it then flash with recovery. But the Rom should've installed mk3 modem right?

Maybe try dialing ##72786# I think that's the code. Also Check in settings-about phone see if baseband says mk3 already.

Hi hi. I'm in Stock unrooted and update won't hurry up. do I just download this and install through stock recovery? no repercussions vs waiting for OTA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigpappags3:
If u never plan to flash a custom rom or custom kernel then yes you are fine to flash this...it's the same as ota.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razpr:
thank you. I am flashing this

Now i have a question, this does not include the MK3 Modem. And for others who did not catch my previous post. I am stock sprint S3 and Unrooted. I only flashed this to speed up the update rather than waiting weeks. Do i need to flash the MK3 modem? It would have to be through the newer bootloader/recovery.

EDIT: WHOA got really choppy and im getting all the weird notifications of previous downloads ive made :\ i thought they fixed this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noobied:
So i flashed the update and everything has been working very snappy. i am not experiencing any of the mentioned bugs. however, i do want to root the phone. is there anyway to root it, i dont really care about custom roms therefore i do not need a custom recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wired0980:
It's a pain. Think you might need to factory data reset from your recovery to fix.

I'm an idiot..

So i was an impatient person and downloaded and installed the 4.3 OTA W/ Knox. I used the CF Auto Root to gain root access and it worked. Well, then i saw the apk's cnexus posted with the white dialer and what not. I d/l those and replaced with ones in the sys/app directory (like an idiot). Now my phone keeps getting the android.phone process not working. Tried to hard reset to get it to quit, tried to reinstall OTA and now i get a status 7 error. What should i do?? Hopefully a Tar file for 4.3 will be coming out soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wired0980:
If you have root go to /system/app and find these files secContacts.odex

SecMMS.odex

SecPhone.odex

Rename all those to .bak

Then make sure your permissions on secContacts.apk, SecMMS.apk and SecPhone.apk are set to rw-r-r.

That should work

If all else fails boot into recovery and do a factory reset. Reinstalling ota won't work If your already updated.

Edit: just use mms right now dialer not work (get fc when placing calls)

Until it's fixed

If you need me to pull the stock apps from my phone for you i could do that since you said you replaced the apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigfruits8188:
If it wouldnt be too much trouble could you pull those stock apps for me? I'll try to replace as long as i can get through the barrage of android.phone.process quit working lol thanks a bunch

alright ive got a new problem, i cant get the phone to boot past the Samsung Galaxy sIII screen. I did a factory reset through stock recovery and even through CWM and still nothing. I was up for about 3-4 hours last night trying to figure out ways to fix the phone closures and i think i eff'd it up further. sorry for asking so many questions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wired0980:
Here are the files:

Not gonna do you much good right now I know.

What exactly did you do? Did you try to reflash the ota zip? Don't if you haven't. Just trying to figure out what went wrong
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigfruits8188:
Pretty much what i did was after i had gained root acess, i pushed those apk files Cnexus posted to sys/app. After i started getting the phone force closures, i went back to stock recovery and factory reset. That didnt work, so i tried to do it from the phone settings under accounts. That didnt do it, so i put CWM recovery on there and did a factory reset, formatted everything except external SD card. Rebooted and now wont get past that screen. has been like that since last night. Thats why i tried to reinstall the OTA thinking it would solve me issue but that wasnt the case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wired0980:
If you formatted system that explains it. There's no system for it to boot into anymore. You may have too download cnexus' rom from here:

And flash that. Now i haven't try it yet but it should work since it doesn't include knox bootloader and your warranty is already voided :(

Yes, the link to to the same file on google's servers that will be delivered to you for the OTA update. If you are running stock MD4, rooted or unrooted with stock recovery it should be fine. Place it on your external sd card, (it must be fat32 formated) boot to recovers, and install.

Tether question

I am running the 4.3 MK3 ROOTED with cwm recovery. How can I get my hotspot working. I have tried 2 different TrevE Mods and still not working. Saying there a problem on start' see show log.

Okay since this is the OTA zip, I can just flash this through stock recovery right? I only ask because I'm rooted but never installed CWM or any other custom recovery. I know I'll lose root. (Just want to be cautious since it's been a while)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yup, with stock recovery

This is the official ota straight from Google's servers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Doesn't want to work. Fails at "Verifying current system" or something along those lines then highlights a .xml file in red. It recognizes the package fine though. Does this have something to do with my root? I could try capturing a screenshot of it but it goes quickly. Not sure what to do though, and I'd like to avoid Odin at all possibilities.

A few other things I'd like to mention is when my phone boots up it shows my lockscreen like normal but then it seems to bypass the lockscreen for a brief moment and show my launcher, and then goes back to the lockscreen. Other issues such as freezing and rebooting happen while the phone is loading everything. I was hoping the OTA would fix these issues but seeing that it won't even install worries me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Flash this and then flash the ota

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Okay so I assume I flash the "NEW MD4 WITH COUNT RESET 16gb ONLY" one but do I need CWM or TWRP to flash it? Like I said, I'm rooted but on stock recovery. Also, when the OTA does become available, would I be able to download it then? (in case I choose to wait?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Do you have any modifications to your system? Because if it fails on verifying system, then something has been modified from stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Oh I know what it is. I downloaded a patch/app to allow all of my apps to be used with multi-window. Would uninstalling the app and disabling it from SU do the trick or am I screwed here?

You'd need to restore the original file...just flash freeza's MD4 stock rom and you should be good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
The first link from this thread right? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1910947

Will I need CWM or TWRP?

Also, if I decide not to do this, could I just wait for the official OTA or would it just fail?

Sorry for so many questions, I just really want to avoid screwing up. Thanks for your help so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
The link in the OP IS the official ota. It would fail regardless of whether you downloaded it note it waited for the notification to pop up.

And yes, you'll need a custom recovery...So you might as well flash the restore rom by billiard to flash back to stock recovery in one go too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
So I could I just use ROM Manager to install the latest CWM for my phone and then flash billiard's rom? I assume it won't wipe anything, correct? Sorry if I'm repeating questions...thanks for bearing with me here lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I'm not sure if it would wipe....read the OP to make sure

But otherwise, yes

Can anyone who has done this update verify whether WiFi tether still works after root? That is the one burning question I have and the one that has stopped me from doing this.

I'm talking about Trev E.'s 3.3 beta-2 that I've been using for a long while on my GS3 on 4.1.2 and works wonderfully, not the $30/mo. sprint data capped hotspot app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
Odexed and native hotspot works. I have (like others) force close issue when trying to share in gallery. Other than that no problems.

EDIT: Also when in the camera app trying to share, toast pop up in landscape comes "unfortunately gallery has stopped" while camera is in portrait. Could this be related to the first WiFi mod issue?

EDIT 2: I can share from es file Explorer.

I guess that's why there are all these files in the "patch" folder that have a ".p" at the end? I have to say its interesting to see how an OTA update is structured. This is my first one and I really don't know what to do with any of it. Something new to learn about. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yup, patched files are in "patch" and end with a .p

The OP explains it.

"You can still root on the new firmware...but you can't flash a custom recovery or custom kernel, or else you will trip Knox"

Basically that means you void warranty if you care about that & as the OP also says:

"Boot loader flag goes from 0x0 to 0x1"

It's nowhere as good. My wife was using my phone and took the update. I rooted it but that's it. So on the stock MK3 rooted my battery life is horrible. I can let it charge all night, After taking it off the charger in the morning the battery drops about 9% in the first 30 minutes with the phone just sitting on my dresser.

Also, the lag on the lockscreen is annoying as hell, Programs seem to open slower, close slower. Get the stupid light coming on when a call or text comes in. Transition animations seem less responsive and slower.

Overall, this update blows.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spec4:
I agree this update this update was not all I was hoping for.

Battery seems to go up and down for me. It's good one day then not so good the next then back to good. Maybe the update will clear up over time. I've had it for a week and half.

Regarding the flashing light on incoming call or text. Go to Accessiblity - Hearing and make sure the box is unchecked for Flash Notification. Hopefully that helps.
