I used TWRP to back up her current room and it split into three sections in one file on her exSD card. I'm not sure if that was a good back up. I tried to delete it to start over but it has read/write access only on it and couldn't. Her card is 8gb and that back up for some reason was huge. Just worried if I flash and it doesn't work I don't have a fail safe option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
I would install philz recovery, delete your 3-part backup, and then backup with philz. Then I would update like you did for your phone.

But remember, I didn't even sleep at Holiday Inn ?.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kkruse:
Yea, I too have the reboot stick at the S3 logo. I had this on CNexus and gave up. Then saw this hoping this was fixed. I can get around it but you have to wipe either dalvik or cache or both. I just do both so far then it reboots, the dalvik gizmo that starts counting apps startings doing things and we're off until next time.

I have a sprint 32GB model, I cant help but to think if there is some very small difference between models that explains this. I have another suspicion it has to do with the reboot menu in deoxed so will try to load the odex version later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Not sure if this is helpful but I've been using CNexus original deodexed stock rooted with the moded android.policy.jar that gives us the expanded reboot menu and haven't had any problems. My device is the 16gb version so I think it might be important if folks with problems would mention if they're using the 16gb or 32gb version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] procter:
I haven't really traveled as much as I wanted ever since I jumped to Android from WM. So with this ROM, the hot spot fix is built in right? So to tether, I just enable the sprint hot spot and it's good to go? Or there's other precaution I need to make?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SoxIn4:
My hotspot didn't work correctly after my initial flash, but I reflashed the odexed hotspot fix and it's working fine now.

update to my all-in-one process

first I had to install the latest cwm, if you go to the website for cwm its only an image .img file for SPH-L710 I to use rom manager to install cwm touch but knox kept blocking I got message "flashing" which did not go away after 15 minutes + so I searched around for a img to tar converter but found this post instead

http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/4153-recovery-cwm-touch-6030-tar-file-for-odin/

it had the near latest cwm touch as a tar file so I can use odin. I followed the regular steps to get the file on the phone using odin that process went well

next I browsed to the all-in-one file for my phone type install went well no errors and liked the complete and rabbit hole message at the end :)

booted the phone updated the supersu binaries no more stupid KNOX messages yes!

I started up the sprint hot spot it was working for two minutes then I get the regular

**hotpot error your are not subscribed to the hotspot service do you want to see subcription options***

any ideas on what to do?

strange the root got bumped out, and wifi mod back to where I get message

I re-flashed all in one, same thing, what could cause this and how do I fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SoxIn4:
Does anyone know how to disable to annoying strobe light feature on incoming calls? I've looked everywhere in the menu settings and haven't come across anything. Every time my phone rings I feel like I'm at a rave. What a dumb feature to incorporate in 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] junkyardwillie:
I had this same problem with the Deodexed version. I flashed it 4 or 5 times and it would always do the same thing. I switched to the allinone Odex version and it would allow me to use the Hotspot feature once but then I when I turned it off it wouldn't turn back on again, it stayed grey. When I restarted my phone it would just stay grey. I reflashed it and I could get 1 hotspot use again and then it wouldn't work anymore. Odd, I guess I'll have to wait a little while for the bugs to be worked out. Everything else worked great.

I wish I could get rid of the flashing camera light when calls come in and now my phone vibrates when emails come in. I don't think this has anything to do with the ROM its probably what Samsung put in it, they really blew it with notifications. I don't see anyway to customize notifications anymore. I'll keep searching.

How to disable flashing camera notification:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] junkyardwillie:
I ended up switching to the long method of trying to get the Stock ROM going and it seems to be working about as well as it has previously. I don't know if this will help with other people having the Hotspot issue but I was on an older version of CWM (5.something), I found this link which has a newer version which might help when flashing ROMs, I don't know http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41018162&postcount=57.

For me, after updating my CWM I went through the long process of flashing each piece of the stock ROM individually instead of using the AllinOne and now it seems like my Hotspot works as well as it ever did. Usually I would be able to use it once and then I would need to reset to use it again. Now my phone is back to working like that so if I reset it I can start another hotspot, from my previous post it wouldn't let me get a new hotspot even after restarting I could only get it by reflashing.

If anyone else is having issues with the hotspot it might be worth checking if you're on the latest version of recovery, it seems to have helped my problems. I figure it would also fix the issues that I was running into with this ROM because everything worked great except for the Hotspot which seemed like it was probably me doing something wrong rather than a bad ROM. I would have liked to been able to just get it all done with 1 flash rather than the 5 or 6 I had to do. Awesome job on this ROM, its definitely helpful.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
I thought tethering was baked into the all in one?

And do you mean WiFi hotspot or USB tetherin? I use both. If USB tethering isn't baked in will this cause any problems for Easytether?

If I'm doing a dirty flash all my apps will be preserved, right?

Has the bug with the gallery app force closing when you try to share a photo been fixed? I share a lot of photos and this would definitely be a deal breaker.

What extra wifi toggles are there that aren't built into the rom?

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

I have a TOTAL noob question.

In the past I always used an SD card in my phone and all my pics and some other app data would automatically save to the SD card. Right now I have a 32gb phone and don't use an SD card. I want to do a nandroid backup before going forward with the all in one so I'm going to need to pop an SD card in to do the nandroid backup...

If I put an SD card in my phone, is Android going to start moving photos and/or any other data to my card? Will ANYTHING be moved to the SD card without my permission? After doing the 4.3 update I want to go back to operating without an SD card and I don't want to run into any problems because some data was moved to the SD card.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Simply put the SD card in with the phone off, boot directly to recovery, do your backup, turn the phone off, remove the SD card and voila, without the SD card in and the full OS booted, there's no possibility of anything getting put on it that you don't want.

Besides that, the only thing I know is that when I go from without an SD card to with, then the camera asks if I want to start saving photos there. Presumably if you answer no, then it won't.

Nothing else asks but I don't know what the OS automatically does. Apps don't go to SD at all anymore without a third party app like Link2SD, so the OS night create some files and folder structure but I don't think it'll put anything critical on the card, so you wouldn't notice a difference one you removed the card anyway unless you look at the contents.

If you go that route, then you can report back and then we'll all know, until the next update or a different ROM changes things.

:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vgagliardi:
Thanks for this. So happy to be updated.

I updated my S3 to MK3 from MD4 using the odex version and followed the directions in the OP (without doing the factory reset. I am afraid this would erase things I needed and I wasnt sure if this was necessary) . Everything is running nice and smooth except 2 things, and I wanted to see if anyone can help me out with them.

The first issue is that any time I click on a web link in an email or text message, the native browser opens and closes really quickly (never actually loading the link I clicked on). I am using Dolphin as my default browser, and both Dolphin and the native browser work fine when using them directly. Not sure why clicking on links in text messages or emails would have issues?

The second issue is that I keep getting notifications for files I downloaded quite a while ago. I keep clearing them and the same ones keep coming back. Even rebooted several times. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
For #1, just uninstall and reinstall Dolphin browser.

For #2, clear data for this app and REBOOT:

If you still get notices, go to the Download app in the App Drawer and clear the lists from both tabs and REBOOT::
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SoxIn4:
Yeah I saw that already, but the box isn't checked on my phone and it still blinks for incoming phone calls. It's my understanding it's just part of the Samsung 4.3 update, it's just annoying that you can't disable it though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
Toggle it on, then off again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SoxIn4:
Not sure why I didn't try that before, but it worked by toggling it on/off! Thanks for your help:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vgagliardi:
Thanks dcharleyultra! That did the trick. Appreciate the help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
I installed the deodexed rom (doing a full factory default wipe) but I can't get my phone to see my 64 gb extSD card anymore. It was previously formatted fat32 but when it didn't work, I put it in my PC and reformatted ExFat. It still doesn't see it. When I try to mount it, it gives up and says it safe to remove. Am I missing something simple?

Edit: Solved. Found this thread and the new kernel fixed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] len207:
Ok here we go... I have a Sprint S3 that has been flashed to Page Plus and is working just fine under the latest 4.1 and that's great! I would like to update to 4.3 and have flashed roms, kernels and recoveries before so know how its done. What I have not done is install an update on a phone which has been reconfigured to use another service. Does anyone know if this update would kill my Page Plus configuration and require a reflash after the upgrade? I would prefer not to have to do that so if this does not contain firmware it should be ok but if it has a new radio, modem or PRL then probably not. Does anyone happen to know if this rom can be flashed without effecting the Page Plus settings?

Thanks

Two thumbs up, sir (and to everyone which made your work possible). This was slicker than hammered owl sh!t :)

One question...how skinny is this ROM supposed to be. Titanium shows the ROM at about 1.54 GB :eek::eek: with only 50-ish MB of ROM space available. I am on the 16GB version, and did *not* do a factory reset when doing the install. If a factory reset will clean things up even more, I'm OK with that and will do it tonight. Can I use this same file to re-flash?

As far as hiccups, the following apps have given me issues, but were all fixed either by a TB restore or simply reinstalling:

Chrome

Handscent

Lookout

Skype

Dropbox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ThunderStick:
Titanium Will always cause some issues when switching between roms. A factory reset may help free up space. Do not wipe the system partition when doing so and you will be fine.

You have to using a custom recovery like CWM, or TWRP or Philz

Thank you

I dirty flashed this over the stock MD4 rooted odexed ROM with Philz CWM. (The best custom recovery IMO).

Had a few app's FC - Gmail, Google+, Tango and Dropbox, I just uninstalled or unistalled updates, rebooted, then re-installed or updated the app's.

All is good, this is my Wife's phone so she needs something that is a good DD.

Hi, I flashed the odex version (SPHL710_ALLINONE_MK3_ODEX_12-04-2013_1030pm.zip)

but seems something wrong, it shows system update every reboot.

the deodex version works fine, I compared and found a file named libvtmanage.odex.odex in /system/framework/, but it should be libvtmanagerjar.jar, right?

I fixed it and deleted some redundant classes.dex in apks, and the odd update msg disappeared.:laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DC_MTP:
awesome ROM just can't get flash working...What version are ppl using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taaz69:
Great ROM

Just wanted to add a quick note.

I dirty flashed SPHL710_ALLINONE_MK3_DEODEX_12-8-13_11pm.zip using philz recovery. I would not recommend dirty flashing to those with little experience in flashing or a weak stomach. ;)

Issues I saw were: loss of root, supersu, 64gb card "Safe to remove: issue, Flash firing when phone rings and one or two other issues. For every issue noted, there was a resolution in this thread.

It has been a little over 24 hours. I have ran this ROM though the paces. Everything is running smoothly.

I would like to thank CNexus for building the ROM, Thunderstick for the all-in-one zip and to all of you (you know who you are) who posted solutions to the issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tommy_2q:
Thank you for this Rom thunderstick. Everything has been working perfectly for the past two weeks. Are there any benefits to using decimalman's kernel? Seems like some people getting lock ups and reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ThunderStick:
I think there aren't any real advantages. Everything should be working with the kernel included with this Rom.

I haven't read the thread for that kernel but if there are problems and you need a dependable device i would just stay away from it until the bugs are worked out.

Rotation Question

I have running this rom for about a week. And Great thanks Thunder stick. Yesterday I was using chrome and I put the phone down real quick and the screen froze up crooked. I had to pull my battery to get it working again. Today I was in AICloud and i put the phone down real quick and it happened again. Anyone else have this issue. If so is there a fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tommy_2q:
I don't use screen rotation much but I have not had any freezes. Are you on stock kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hazardis:
I installed the Odex version I did not change the kernel after download/flash. Its on stock as it comes right or do I need to flash the stock kernal? Thanks for the reply
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ThunderStick:
I think this maybe kernel related, my phone occasionally has spasms with the orientation of the screen. Mostly happens when using the camera i found. .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hazardis:

Do not wipe the boot or system partition when installing any Rom. This Rom Will abort the installation if you do.

I manually wiped cache /devalk cache /data /system.

The OP says not to wipe System but I got tired of the Reboots.

Going 2 days on this ROM sofar with no random reboots.

Now I was on Cnexus Base that the random reboots occurred.

The only thing I did different to get the random reboots to stop was

I wiped the above and flashed this OP Odex rom.

And no I didn't wipe and reinstall Cnexus Base as I wanted this rom bc all the fixs are merged.
