[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RespecterOfDevs:
beanstown106 SHOULD HAVE PROVISIONED FOR THIS!

Yeah, so now that a service I pay for is now "eliminated from the OS", and there seems to be no .apk that will be available...

what do I do?

All I want is to be able to use my VISUAL VOICEMAIL. I don't need all the other extraneous crap that comes along with Google Voice.

HELP!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The pre-installed Voicemail app works identically, does it not? (I'm still on MJ7, so ymmv ?)

It looks different (clunkier), but the basic functionality is there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siciliano777:
lol There is no "extraneous crap" that comes along with Google voice... I've literally been using it ONLY for visual voice mail for like 4 years now, and I couldn't live without it (it's very easy to disable using it for calls or sms).

I don't know how Verizon's VVM works (it's probably crap), but the best thing about GV is that it's very neatly integrated into android. When I miss a call and get a VM, I tap on the notification and the VM plays. Easy peasy. It's also accessible directly from the call log.

Not only that, you can set it to have Google email you a transcription of every VM. It's not always 100% accurate, but if I'm in a meeting or busy, I can get the general idea of what the message is about without even putting the phone to my ear. It's indispensable and FREE. Stop being stubborn... do yourself a favor and get it.

DID you go to the playstore and search specifically for Verizon's Visual Voicemail...

I think all the carriers have their version at the playstore... I'm just saying!!!

Just the MK3 FULL stock tar extracted from Kies. Very hard to find online, and only extremely slow downloads available, so here it is

This is not rooted. I will do that soon with the root de-la-vega method. Sit tight.

Instructions:

1. Download tar.md5 from above and download Odin

2. Put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted)

3. Open Odin (right click > open as administrator)

4. Load stock tar into the PDA slot

5. Start flashing

6. Grab some popcorn because it will take a while

7. Profit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thank you!!!!!!!

Edit:

First, for isaint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monke30butt:
Thanks CNexus!!!!!!

I'll be waiting patiently.......I have a screwed up OTA to fix on the wife's phone.

Thanks for the hard work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elephant007:
Now that someone with development skill has their hands on the tar which we've all been waiting for, what's the possibility of finding out how to remove Knox from the bootloader for those that have Knox at the bootloader level?

I talked to a Samsung sales rep at Best Buy today about Knox being forced down on individual consumers and he acted if he could care less about the whole situation. I told him I've been a long time Samsung customer and I'm debating on jumping ship, he just looked at me and said "If that's what you feel you have to do then do it”

I understand hes just the Samsung sales rep, you'd think he'd still care about customers buying Samsung... Guess one person leaving isn't such a big deal to him. Okay thanks for reading..

[MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION]: Thank you for all your hard work and determination, I appreciate you as I'm sure everyone else does here too..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
None. At the moment anyway

A Knox 0x0 root is possible though, so I'll be doing that and then posting it up soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elephant007:
That's great! Thank you again.

One last question from me, when you modify the tar will it be Knox boot loader free? I am currently enjoying your work by using the MK3 ROM you've provided to us

Thanks again.. I'll stop bothering now :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alienboy503:
Thanks for the upload!!! I can now stop spamming my update settings on my phone now I think! I appreciate the detailed instructions about Knox and what not. The newbie in me just wanted to make sure before I proceed with the flash, if I'm fully stocked on MD4 and I use the MK3 tar that was provided, it will essentially be the same as waiting for the OTA update on my phone? I wanted to make sure because Knox scares me and I don't want to trip the counter if I don't need to. I understand that once I have Knox, anything I do to my phone after will trip the counter. Thanks for taking the time to address my questions although I've tried looking in the comments and was not able to find an answer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wildgamer100:
I'm still on 4.0.4 (Haven't updated in some ages lol) Can I go straight to this? Or do I have to go through each update individually?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrogant437:
Thanks for all the insane dedication CNexus....is or will there be an MK3 modem only tar in the future?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Regardless of whether or not I include the bootloader, you are stuck with the MK3 bootloader if you've already updated to it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elephant007:
Thank you for the info, thankfully I don't have it in my boot loader!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monke30butt:
My Wife's phone is stuck with it :crying:

and the OTA has major problems on hers, I am really looking forward to this to make fixing her phone MUCH easier!!!!! Preferably without bricking it :eek:

Thanks again CNexus
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Then in that case, when I modify the tar it will still have all the firmware, but it will be rootable without tripping Knox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DBAtrainee:
DUDE!!! You are awesome, thank you very much for this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
[MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION].do we know for the people that have tripped knox. If flashing the tar via odin reset knox or Not? Would be awesome if it reset counter and knox to zero.

I have tried downloading from every mirror on AHF and I can only get around 1.2 GB downloaded and never a match on the mdsum. On the 'my file' link I only got 800 mb. Would love to get the complete file.

Update: tried the download from post #25 - took an hour to download, Unzipped file is 1.44 GB, but again, mdsum does not match.

Wait time?

Cnexus ... you said in the OP to get popcorn and wait.. its been about 30 minutes.. it got to NAND Write start and its been there a while.. is this normal or should i pull the plug and try again?

edit: Wierd my Mophie battery pack was not alowing it to setup the file in odin.. unplugged and plugged it directly to phone and it flashed and worked. I can confirm the link in post #25 works

Did you try calculating the md5 yourself after you downloaded the file? Try downloading it again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] snowy70:
Does anyone know if we can root after updating this tar. I know it will trip KNOX. Just want to root and put custom recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
Some have been successful using CF-Auto-Root.

Anyone happen to know if there is still a valid and available collection of s3 firmware zips from lj7 and up? My sister in law is still on lj7 and wants to update to 4.3 (mk3) but I want to incrementally do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] random45:
Try renaming the TAR file to following and then again. I've since renamed the file on mediafire, and tested it myself. You were right that the md5 did work, but showed up in Odin as being incorrect. After renaming the file to the following, I was able to get Odin to not complain.

ALL_L710VPUCMK3_L710SPRCMK3_2034598_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5

EDIT: There should be NO spaces in the filename. this forum is adding a space that should not be there around the word "low". Please just erase that space yourself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Knightbird68:
I've tried both files, named as stated, and Odin keeps telling me "Partition could not found in file."

Any ideas? I've tried both Odin and Mobile Odin Pro.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eletendre84:
Rooting doesn't trip Knox, necessarily. Its flashing a custom recovery that trips it. Its known that a 0x0 root is possible, its achieving a 0x0 recovery or removing the MK3 bootloader that's proving difficult.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Will32:
This worked for me using mobile odin lite.

I used triangle away before flashing with mobile odin and it was successfull but it must have re tripped my counter when mobile odin rebooted to flash the tar, because my counter is at 1 again. I have to send my phone in for a broken charging port so I'd like my counter at 0. I couldnt use PC odin because of the broken port.

I'd like to use billards file that is flashed in recovery and is supposed to reset counter. In the OP of billards thread it says that you will hard brick if you flash his file with knox bootloader.

So my question is, do I have knox bootloader after flashing the file in the OP of THIS thread??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SGSIIIJB:
unfortunately, yes you do have the knox bootloader, billards restore wont work in your situation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
YES. This is A FULL TAR, as the OP states. It includes everything > system, firmware, modem, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Will32:
Thanks for clarifying that.

So, one more question. What, if any, are my options now for resetting the counter? Keep in mind that my charging port doesn't work.

I'm not super worried about it because Sprint has always been pretty friendly towards me regarding modified phones. But obviously I'd like to reset the counter if possible.

Here's what download mode looks like on my phone.

My phone is stock 4.3 but rooted and the Knox counter NOT tripped.

I have a ridiculous problem that my phone is using 19.95GB for system memory (I have the 32GB model). No amount of reseting or wiping data will reduce that crazy number. I'm thinking maybe trying to reinstall stock 4.3 will restore my phone to normal.

Question is will installing this with Odin trip my Knox counter?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
No it does not. I just had to use it. I set off the Flash Counter by flashing Philz Recovery afterward (I don't care, I own my phone) but oddly enough the Warranty Bit still says zero. But yeah, stock firmware doesn't set off the flash counter. Only " Custom".

I got a replacement Sprint GS3 on ebay a week ago preloaded with 4.3 on it. Vibrate doesn't work so it's being exchanged. Right now it's still running the stock rom, but the phone is rooted, and has philz_touch recovery on it. The knox software has been removed but it definitely has the knox bootloader.

Before doing anything I just want to verify that if my phone already has the knox bootloader, installing this shouldn't cause problems? Also that it will restore the phone back to stock (unrooted, stock recovery, etc.)?
