Why is that AT&T 4.3 JB update aka (MK2) does not have native call record function?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ryanman1321:
Help! I have downloaded the file from asus and put into 3 separate locations. tried a blank sd card and restarted no update in notification bar. Tried putting it into internal storage and restarted... nothing. I then tried to put it into the / file prior to both the sd card and internal storage files and it says "permission denied". I then attempted to scroll down to the file called "/root" and tried to put the file there, It also gives me the error "permissions denied" any ideas as to what i am doing wrong here? Thanks for your help!

Hello all, I have the 4.3 TW OTA on my phone... regretably. Silly mistake on my end, I do not know why I took the update but I did. Anyhow, like many you who did, the best we can do now is saferoot (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758&highlight=s3). This thread is mostly about the hotspot feature. I've tried several methods to bypass red's hotspot service (free the way it was meant to be). All attempts have failed. I'm not really sure what I'm doing anymore but I did something earlier and i was able to disable the the notification for a bit and use the hotspot for roughly 5-10 minutes then it kicked me off again. Has anyone else had any success? What are your methods and what should we be looking into?

EDIT #1:Something interesting to look at.

EDIT #2: There is an app on the market that enables to tether using bluetooth functionality.

Fix to wifi

I found a fix!!!!!!!!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en

Wifi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso. Please note you have to be rooted for it to work. Method 3, everything else default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Silent Patriot:
Hoping this means the FoxFi devs can get this figured out for us too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] waterbottels:
this is very good, does anyone know what this app does differently? In particular it requires a root but that would mean there is something we can bypass ourselves to deal with verizon putting a block on our hotspot. I can't find where they would have hidden such a 'feature.'

Kudos to Medicstud007 for finding this. How do you find apps in relation to their upload date or last update date?

tether

Didn't the FCC rule against Verizon where they couldn't block the use of a mobile device that has a hot spot and tethering function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
This doesn't apply to unlimited data plans, only to tiered data plans.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Medicstud007:
The rooted method doesn't use the native tethering app which is why there is no subscription check.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pacet911:
Make foxfi work! (requires root)

I'll take it one step further, after installing and running Wifi Tether Router (may or may not need the paid version, which I have), restart the phone and run Foxfi - guess what! WORKS NOW! :laugh: did not before. I am rooted via saferoot method after installing 4.3 OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wildbill1986:
Thought I would give everyone a heads up. I have not yet rooted my s3 on 4.3, but I got foxfi to work. I simply uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it. Reinstalled the credentials popup foxfi requires and turned on. Foxfi has not updated, I'm not sure why it works, but I'll take it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] devilrmk:
Just tried that and it is working for me too. Have restarted it about 15 times and twice have gotten the subscription check but on next attempt it works just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elwood1229:
Foxfi is working for me too. I also get the subscription check but it goes right through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikecico:
Foxfi is awesome. I didn't even have to reinstall. Although it for some reason forced me to create a lockscreen pin, it seems to work.

I still want to root, but I can at least wait till a verified, safe root is available.

VZW needs to just stop the bull****, this never ends up working for them. I pay a ****load of money to them, I should be allowed to use my data the way I want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kobe008:
My foxfi also works too but it made me set up a lockscreen pin which I do not want to use. I never had one before and it worked fine. If anyone figures a way to make foxfi work without a lockscreen code that would be awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wildbill1986:
There are instructions on how to remove the lockscreen on app description in play store. After you set it, incorrectly draw your pattern until you have to log in using Google and you don't have reset it i think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kobe008:
Thank you I got it to work. First I tried doing a Pin and it would not give me the option to reset even after 10 incorrect tries. So I changed it to a pattern and after 5 tries it let me reset. Then when it got to the screen where I had to pick either pin, pattern, or password I selected Pattern (because Swipe was greyed out) and then cancelled it without putting in a pattern and that worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Number 6:
I got a support email from the developer and followed the simple instructions and voila my overpriced plan has a legitimate reason to keep again and less than a week to fix I call that top notch service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xmlaroux:
Thank you!

I Have to say THANK YOU! I did the saferoot root method, bought this app for $1.95, and now tethering works again. I always used One Click Non Root with success, however the 4.3 update broke that and any other app I had tried. We now can tether my Unlimited plan again!

Big Props for this post!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Spent two bucks on WiFi Tether Router. Works very good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gm2racer:
Medicstud007, great find, I have a reason keep my unlimited plan now. Anybody notice that the battery drains really fast when tethering using this app? My phone is almost gone after about an hour of tethering. I seem to recall being able to tether much longer without recharging using the Android Mobile Hotspot functionality on the prior version of Android...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hardmack:
Still using FoxFi paid, after three days of downtime it was working again through a hotfix from those guys... Still happy with my purchase ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mixinguiness:
Using Wifi Router now... best $2 I've spent in a while I wish I never took the OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Medicstud007:
Wifi tether router gave my battery a massive drain and I would lose battery even when connected to the charger. Foxfi does not have the same drain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Foxfi was just a great buy all around. WiFi and USB tether plus it will most likely work on any phone I buy in the future. PDA net on the PC for usb can be a drag but its definitely not a deal breaker.

I saw the WiFi Tether Hack For S3 4.3 Stock ML1 Rom.zip and I installed it, but how do I go about checking to see if it works......any place in particular to look ..........any help is appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
If you were able to flash it, any of the WiFi Tether Toggles work. You do need to Configure the VZW first with an SSID and Passcode. I use Notification Toggles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nook2hd:
How do you flash a zip file on stock 4.3 (ML1) through OTA? I thought you won't be able to install custom CWM anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BoilerDroid:
I asked [MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] that same question a few weeks back:

"Would at least have to have root so could manually push the full [edit: file] with a file explorer."

I'd send a Private Message if you want details.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Or install safestrap and use twrp. I don't use any extra ROM slots just nand backups and installable zips.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nook2hd:
replace framework-res.apk on stock rooted 4.3 for wifi tethering

I downloaded the tether_mod rom zip file from the link in post #35. Since stock recovery will not install zip file for me, I will have to figure out ways to do similar steps.

After inspection of the installtheme.sh script in the zip, I figured that the zip will simply patch up the framework-res.apk in /system/framework with the resources.arsc file in the zip. I managed to run the steps in the installtheme.sh script on a PC and created the patched framework-res.apk fie (oops, I cannot attach the file because it is too large. Basically, it is the following commands that needs to be run on your PC):

1. unzip downloaded zip file

2. copy framework-res.apk from phone to pc

3. replace the resources.arsc file in apk with the one in unzipped archive, using either command:

zip -r framework-res.apk resources.arsc

or any zip tool

4. use zipalign command found in android SDK to align the patched framework-res.apk file:

zipalign -f 4 framework-res.apk_patched framework-res.apk_aligned

However, before I use root explorer to replace the default framework-res.apk with the patched one (set permission first, replace the file, then restore permission), I need to know my back-up plan. First, I am confused about deodexed vs odexed, and do not know whether the patch is suitable for my stock rooted 4.3 system. Secondly, I read that replacing system files like framework-res.apk could cause the device to go into boot loop or not boot at all. If I get into that situation, will I be able to restore back and how?

If anyone had or will have success using the patched file, please share your experience.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lexee:
First, back up your original apk on SD storage. Then, if you need to restore it, you can use TWRP Recovery. In Recovery, you would first go to Mount and choose system partition, and then go to Advanced/File Manager -- and I think you'll figure it out from there. In fact, I'd first try the recovery file manager interface just to make sure you're comfortable with it and know where things are..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nook2hd:
After OTA to 4.3, my understanding is that the bootloader is locked and installing custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP will brick the phone.

That's why I am looking at other ways to patch framework-res.apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Safestrap my friend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gm2racer:
Has anyone patched the framework-res.apk on the latest OTA 4.4.2 (NE1)? I'm still running ML1, but I'm considering odin-ing back to stock in order to get Kit Kat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nook2hd:
On 4.3 ML1, I got the tether working with Xposed module Moto Tether. Never get framework-res.apk patching to work because of no space on /system partition.

So I would like to know if Xposed framework and Moto Tether will continue to work on 4.4.2 before I update to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Why do you guys want to use the built in tether so bad? If Verizon ever decided they want to go after you for using Verizon's app without subscription you would be screwed. ATM the only way Verizon can make you pay extra per month for tethering is if you use the built in app. Honestly if you have enough money for a smart phone you have enough to buy foxfi or a similar tether app that doesn't have the possibility of extra charges. Plus it will follow you to your next phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gm2racer:
I bought Wifi Tether Router and it worked well, but it seemed to make the battery drain faster than the built in tether.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gm2racer:
In case anybody is interested, Wifi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso (as identified in post #6) works on a rooted Kit Kat VZW SGS3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Actually the Hotspot app is not an app at all. It is an overlay of the native Android tether in framework that was hijacked. The hack just hijacks it back by stopping the call to the server that enables the authorization interface and doesn't show up any different than using FoxFi or any other app. In fact may be even better as there is no 3rd party app footprint and is just part of Android native code. Have been using native tether for years with no problems. :cool:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Is your boot loader unlocked? If yes, then you should be able to connect your phone in fastboot and flash a custom kernel so that you can access cwm and flash a rom from your internal storage.

If your boot loader isn't unlocked, then download Sony's official software called Sony Update Service and do a re-install of the phone's software. Installing SUS should take care of all the driver problems too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GucciManeLeSwag:
This is a special case that requires extensive help from you guys (hopefully).

Problem: According to the ATT Samsung specialist the Bootloader I am using is corrupted

Attempted Solution: I have attempted to flash the stock SBL onto my phone but after trying every version of Odin3 (1.83-3.09) it did not work.

**The bar was entirely GREEN but it never finished**

Suggested Solution: Flash the stock ROM back onto the phone using Odin3

Outcome: After trying three different ROMs, all downloaded from Sammobile, using every version of Odin3 (1.83-3.09) only seemed to reach the end then fail at Modem.bin

I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to fix my phone, the original issue was that it never made it past the Samsung logo (not the Galaxy S2 Logo but the actual Samsung logo) the new issue is that it has the Samsung Galaxy SII Logo with the wrong model name (international model) and the small yellow triangle.

If my phone is permanently broken that's fine because I have a temporary phone I just want to get my files off of the phone before using my new one

I have a Jig

I can get it into Odin mode

I cannot get it into Recovery mode

I can get it into Factory mode

Help me please, I have no idea what else to do
