Got a question for you guys running this. I am aware you cannot downgrade or whatever after flashing this, but does that only apply to downgrading via odin or flashing a < 4.3 ROM? So is it still possible to flash Roms that are 4.4 (cm based) or 4.3 touchwiz Roms that will be avalible in the future? Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Too bad this update doesn't allow you to control the screen colour profile.

I'm currently on stock 4.1.1, I have root and custom recovery. I don't care for most of the custom ROMs and I would prefer to update OTA to maintain all my settings and apps.

I'm planning on restoring stock recovery through the Samsung toolkit to update OTA.

If I upgrade OTA, I will lose root, right? And I can just get it back through the CF-root method?

All you can do is try and find out!

Just don't downgrade with stock roms. I installed 4.1.2 which my phone came with, OTA Update to 4.3 then flash any custom rom. I went with Quantum 4.4.

Yes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brayhanrd:

What is the hated Knox
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chochiwpg:
Back when 4.1.2 was released for the I747M (Rogers Galaxy S 3) I downloaded the firmware from from sammobile, used the Kitchen to root and deodex the ROM and I flashed it on my wife's S3. So currently she is running a stock, rooted, deodexed and zipaligned version of Android 4.1.2.

I just want to flash to the stock firmware via ODIN and unroot her device so she gets the OTA's from here on out. In the OP it says the following:

If coming from any other ROM than stock 4.1.2 :

Install 4.1.2 update with odin via SamMobile.com

Clear data/cache/dalvik in recovery (or hang on the Samsung logo for the night).

Upgrade to 4.3 OTA or via Odin

Since I am running a rooted stock ROM do I have to do the first step? Which is install 4.1.2 update with odin and then upgrade to 4.3 via ODIN?

Could I just use ODIN and flash the 4.3 update that I downloaded since I am on stock? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
You could just update with kies...I was stock with root and updated with kies no problem...just had to wipe data and cache after update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chochiwpg:
Usually Kies shows your phone as being modified and won't let you update if rooted. I might have to give it a try.

But if I wanted to use ODIN and flash the firmware instead, I should be good to just flash, I don't need to flash back to an unrooted version of 4.1.2 and then flash 4.3 do I?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
Should be fine. ....might have to wipe data and cache after.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chochiwpg:

Is there a way to install a recovery to install cyanogenmod?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radeon_x:
1) Copy CM10 zip and gapps to /sdcard. 2) If already rooted, flash TWRP .img using ADB. If not rooted, use Odin to flash TWRP .tar. 3) Profit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mickey690:
OK so after some searching and trying I finally got root working. I did not want to install a custom recovery so kept at it and got it working without.

I used the CF auto root file from when I first rooted back on 4.1.2. This did not work.

I went back to the auto root thread and found the file name was the same so tried again. Still not working.

I then went and downloaded the CF auto root file and tried again. This time it worked great and I now have root as per the op.

Anyone else struggling to get the CF auto root method working I would suggest downloading the file again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skomes:
I came from stock 4.1.1 with root and custom recovery. I updated through Kies because I didn't feel like losing all my app data and homescreens.

To do so, I:

1. Re-installed original recovery image from S3 Qualcomm Toolkit

2. Reset counter with triangle away

3. Update through KIES

4. Install CF Auto Root through ODIN

The update did delete some of my apps from the homescreen for some reason, so screenshot or make a note of your homescreens before updating.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fr3d0x:
This rom is great, i add mobile data toggle and smart pause toggle XD
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Any reason why carrier iq would be implemented into android system in Canada? Why would it even be present?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Mr. X-:
what carrier is this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Telus. I have no idea why they would have it.... now more importantly what kind of information are they sending.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chochiwpg:
Not sure if this happened for anyone else, but it happened for me and worked great.

Flashed the 4.3 factory image via ODIN expecting it to wipe the data on my wife's phone. It did not. It updated the phone to Android 4.3 and she still had all her apps and settings. Didn't lose anything, just root. Just thought I would mention it. Not sure if that was supposed to happen. But, I am happy it did. Peace.:thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Glas4d:
That's normal. It's always best to do a factory reset and cache wipe after such a significant update. I'd personally root it and do a titanium backup then do the factory reset. Once that is complete let your Google backup download all her apps directly from the play store, then once completed you can restore her app data. Make sure you do a "data only" restore through titanium. This method will give you optimal results and negate any oddities you may experience.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
What carrier and how did you add the toggles.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Mr. X-:
I'm going to be contacting telus and asking whats the deal with this. Not too keen on having CIQ in the rom, even though i dont run stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] asagan:
I updated, rogers, via Kies and was only rooted. Worked with no problems.

I really dislike the pictures next to the text bubbles. I can't find anyway to turn that off. I guess I am stuck unless anyone knows how to remove them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
Im on Rogers and have no data toggle...can anyone on telus or bell confirm whether they have or dont have a data toggle.....thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Now that's a show stopper!

Was just about to start the upgrade process... but I won't until this is sorted out!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Get an answer yet? They told me they have no knowledge of carrier iq or what that is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Will add to the OP that Carrier IQ is present at least for Telus...

You can confirm you also found the Carrier IQ client app running in your background processes on Bell's ROM?

I'm just looking for confirmation so that I can update the OP accordingly...

I had the same app shortcut listed in nova launcher as a previous user posted a picture of. I tried clicking on the app and it restarted my phone. After further investigation I could not find it actually running as a process. I also installed voodoo carrier iq detector and it says that it is NOT installed.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GreenMean:
Interesting how the att release of 4.3 has the toggles in settings as ON/OFF but the Canadian has I/O . I prefer the latter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
There is a setting in triangle away that temporarily can change that status for ota's. ..its near the bottom called system status work around or something. ..you just tick the box and reboot. ..it.disables superuser for a few minutes to allow you to check for ota's.

Hey thanks for the reply. I tried that setting you mentioned. Before selecting the option triangle away said it was official now it says system modified and binary official and flash counter is 0..The phone itself says modified still. Weird.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
Which version phone are you running? what rom? are you on the 4.3 bootloaders?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Satstalker:
I'm running a stock 4.3 that's rooted. I noticed now my camera flash flashes when I get an email. This phone is going crazy since the update. Lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
On 4.3 triangle away only makes the custom flash counter go back to 0 there is also KNOX in the bootloader you have a line 2nd from the bottom in Odin mode/Download mode that says in 'warranty bit 1 in red letters" don't you? before you flashed anything after you took the OTA it said "warranty bit 0 in grey letters"

That is the KNOX snitching you out that you modified the phone and running triangle away 1,000 times wont reset that.

on the light flashing go to settings, my device tab, accessibility, chech the box for flash notification then uncheck it. That will stop that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Satstalker:
Well that explains it. Thanks for you help. It does say warranty bit 1 in red letters. I did the check mark on and then off on the flash notification. Ill have to wait for an email to see if that worked.:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Well if you read the first post of this thread.... And the title.. You're also in the right forums too.... It will work, but questions like this belong in the Q&A forums

Edit:

Looking at the framework manifest, we can clearly see there are more services of the initial Carrier IQ discovery that seem to be disabled. I'm decompiling the framework right now and digging deeper into it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Candy[MAN]:
Carrier IQ is NOT present on the Rogers firmware.

As a matter of fact, it does not exist on Telus nor Bell.

That screen shot is from Apex Launcher. If you try to add that carrier IQ shortcut and access it, nothing happens.

On my phone (which is rooted and a lot of bloat removed) causes my phone to hang and reboot.

I have been through the system files with a fine tooth comb and cannot find any evidence of carrier IQ on there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
That seems contradictory to what we can see from the Android manifest right above your post.

And the fact that you don't see anything happen when accessing that shortcut doesn't mean "anything" doesn't actually happen.

To me, Carrier IQ is nothing more than a spyware.

With that in mind, I highly doubt it would have any visual aspect to it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
I was thinking that too...

It runs as a daemon during boot and collects information, opens up a network socket and sends it off. I really haven't gotten into very many details, but it collects information such as detailed performance, apps installed, system status...

However I'm not sure if it's enabled or not, or if I'm smoking something weird. I'll have to network log at boot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:

Anyways, if anyone would like me to upload the decompiled framework I can..... only if you're lazy like me and don't wanna decompile it yourself.

And if anybody is that upset about it, download an app called " Disable Services " from the play market and disable the service from the android system. It might be a temporary fix... I don't know if gets enabled by other apps.... It might just be left over coding because of laziness from the carriers and Samsung.... I don't even know if it exists or if it's just THERE to piss us off.

Thanks for you conercn :)

Thx fredox for the upload, but I'm with bell.

You don't really have a choice to wait for your download to finish.. Can you boot into recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Flashing a Telus image on your Bell won't cause any trouble once your download is over.

You'll only get to have the Telus bloat on your phone instead of Bell's ;)

On a side note, following the shutdown of HotFile.com, SamMobile is in the process of uploading their files to a new host, Terafile.co.

Samsung-Updates.com, on the other hand, already seem to have completed their transition to new hosts.

Therefore, the download links in the OP should remain valid once the upload is completed.

Hi there. Just updated mu gf's S3 VIA OTA without problems.

I own a Note 3 and know about KNOX warranty. Does the S3 have the same "warrant void" problem? I read that after cf auto root Supersu automatically disables Knox.

So, any " warranty void" evidence after rooting?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] server5:
Yes, the first boot after ota update, the system cache and file pointers etc all need reorientation. After several days of uses and a few more reboots, the system is better but yes there are times when lag crops up. Popup browser and dedicated data toggle are mia and I suspect a small maintenance update to appear down the road to smooth things out. Overall its a good update.

Edit: oh btw, there is some consensus that the update consumes battery faster than pre update and some say it takes longer to charge. My experience has been shown that it appears to be true. I anticipate that this be corrected in the next ota fix
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kriEv:
I was using the official release and it was a little slower, you should check out the flashable rooted versions i made here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2558311

Official version is odex and these are deodexed and to me, its faster.

As for the new bootloader, yes Knox warranty is present and tripping the counter is inevitable, i used CF auto-root on my original version and it tripped it. (I dont care personally) so if you are still on 4.1.x bootloader i highly recommend using my version since the bootloader isnt included (only optional)
