Just installed CWM on my s6000 now too. Was worried about it because I've been struggling a bit with other guides that also include the use of SPFlashTool. Thanks chrissi77.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OblivionDawn:
Ok, so I recently (about 2 weeks ago) bought a brand-new/stock Samsung Galaxy S3 through Amazon as an upgrade for Verizon. When I received and activated it, etc, it went through a series of downloading/rebooting/installing screens which I assume means that it was updating to the latest official firmware.

Anyway, now I want to try putting a custom ROM on my S3 (I'm kinda new at this, like I just started reading about it yesterday), and as far as I know, it's running Android version 4.3, which is also said to contain Knox, which would prevent loading any custom ROMs. However, when I go into download mode on my S3, it says the following:

---------------------------

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1535

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Warranty Bit: 0

BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 1

----------------------------

As far as I can tell, there's no mention of Knox, but maybe there's something I'm missing?

As I said, I'm new at this, so I might be missing alot of stuff. But my main question is whether or not I'd be able to root my phone and flash a custom ROM without damage (barring my own mistakes)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Knox has nothing to do with locked bootloader from 4.3 version. You're no 4.3 so no flashing custom rom/kernel/recovery for you. There is a work around called safestrap and it's not fully functional yet...you just have to wait a bit ...longer see how everything play out!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OblivionDawn:
Oh, I was under the impression that Knox was the thing causing the bootloader to be locked. You're saying that 4.3 is just universally locked for the time being?

Also, am I still able to root my S3 using Saferoot while it's on 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Yes and Yes, you can use saferoot to root 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Verizon is responsible for locking the bootloader. Knox has nothing to do with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Tell that to every s4 owner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
All knox does is count, unless I'm missing something.

Sprint and T-Mobile both have knox on their 4.3 update, but neither have locked bootloaders.

I will have a go at it ! You know fastboot commands ?

In steps

1: download this file and rename it to recovery.zip and copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img

2: Open a command window inside the fastboot folder on the pc and flash the recovery

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img Fastboot erase cache

3: Then enter the recovery and connect the hox to the main charger. It will charge the battery......start with that !

You still have the backup on the sdcard ?

Inside recovery do this :

Factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Advanced-wipe dalvik cache

Mounts and storage-format cache, data and system

Then go into the backup and restore menu and restore the backup !

Reboot the phone after that. If its not booting after ~7 min max you have to flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tex Arcana:
I've been having this problem on my i747(16GB, 4.1x JB, rooted with CWM) for a few months now, but they just got worse as time went on. I've yanked every possible picture, video (what few I had ), and apps I could think of; I copied off/deleted old CWM and TB backups, and it STILL gives me the dreaded "not enough storage space" message. The last time I recovered about 2GB, but that lasted less than a month, and that's AFTER I set the camera to store on the extSDcard (8GB, has about 6.3GB left this go 'round), and moved the maybe 2gb of music I've had lately.

I'd show you the Storage screeshot: but I don't have enough memory to take a picture--it only has 392m available now!! :WTF: so I took a picture with my tablet:

I started that process about 40 minutes ago... And it STILL hasn't reported anything!!!

Also, I cannot uninstall anything, either thru the application manager or the play store. I've booted to recovery, wiped cache (no option in my CWM to wipe dalvik), wiped dalvik with CWM app after boot, and deleted every possible app, text, and picture I can find--oh, and the picture gallery won't open because I don't have enough memory. I've dug thru every possible directory with ES File Explorer, and deleted everything I can think of that was expendable... And still no luck. I can't gain squat. And I STILL can't get the phone to uninstall any apps at all. AT ALL.

And: this go'round took less than three weeks for the phone to clog itself like an overloaded toilet---i thought only Winblows had this kind of memory problems!!!

I'm working now on copying any data I can, and making an app list, before I try a factory reset. I've unmounted the extSDcard, and will remove it before I reset.

But I still need advice. I need to know what's going on, what's wrong, and how to fix it for freaking good, because given the logarithmic rate of decay I'm seeing, the next clog up will take about a week--and THAT will send me into a psychotic break and probably into the back door of the nearest att location with a silenced uzi! [/I'M JUST KIDDING HSA!!!] :eek:

Thanks in advance...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
I had a problem similar to this, although not quite as extreme but it turned out to be the lost+found folder in the /system folder (i think, there is one there and on each sd card). Not sure about ES explorer but root explorer would show it as empty until i gave the folder full permisions, and even then couldn't modify it. I ended up using the file explorer in TWRP to delete the contents of the folder. With CWM you can load up aroma file manager from the recovery and delete the junk that way. If you've never used it before you 'flash' it like you would any other zip but it doesn't actually flash anything, just loads up into memory and gets dumped when you exit so it shouldn't be a problem with your low storage.

Hey sorry to bring up the dead - but ive been wanting to root my VZ Note 3 for awhile now. I wanted to use the Kingo Root App but I read all over the internet that it wasnt safe, yada yada - this was however a few months ago at this point - Just curious if this has been cleared up and is Kingo safe to use again??

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jaidnoire:
Hi - I've been lurking and trying some of the less intensive, flashing-not-required tweaks with success. But suddenly today, I'm having an issue.

My MDA/Wizard is all of a sudden frozen! I havent done anything to it since I got to work today (except blug it in to charge it) and on my way to work, it was operating fine - I watched some anime, read an ebook and listened to music with no problems.

What I've noticed:

- Signal light flashing, but cant get to phone app, doesn't ring when call comes in, gets a generic on-screen notification with no Call ID

- Screen frozen, can hear tapping noise, but nothing happens

- Goes to sleep mode and Power button can wake up as normal, but still frozen and Power button wont turn off device

- Buttons make noise when pressed, but no result

- Of all of the plug-ins (3) and built-ins (5) that are usually on screen, my Messages one has suddenly disappeared.

Today Screen:

*Date

*Owner

*Tasks

*Messages - GONE

*Agile Msgr

*SPB WMP plug in

*SPB Weather

*Device lock

The last thing that I installed was a .cab file from the Big All Tweaks Thread - it was the one that got the Caps/Fn indicator and "E"dge indicators on screen. But EVERYTHING was working after the install and til 15 min ago (14hrs total). I've soft reset about 6 times and even took out the battery with no luck. If I plug it into USB, it charges, but no recognition from AS.

Please help! I'm at work, my contacts and stuff are on home PC.

I'm running the original T-Mobile Rom and I'm not unlocked yet (I was trying to get up the nerve this weekend!)

Thanks in advance!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jaidnoire:
Hmm....no response?

I'm hope now...

I am beginning to wonder if my problem isn't related to the issue that pple seem to be having with the MDA zapping the SD card. I took out my card and then did a soft reset. My device is workign just fine with out it. Seems that if I put it bak in, there it goes freezing again.

The card seems fine when I put it in the reader, but if the MDA is having a problem with it, I'll be mighty vexed, as it is a week old 1gb card

If anyone has any imput, please chime in.....

I am wavering between trying to figure this out....or just going for it and updating my ROM while I'm going thru all of this anyway...

:nervous:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BPMonahan:
i have the same issues with about the same software loaded and freezes. to recover from the freeze, i press the reset button and while the phone boots up i press the phone "answer /hangup" buttons once or twice and it boots up.

i do notice something strange after a reboot- the programs on the 1gb sd card are no longer recognized. when i check file explorer, i can see the wizard has creadted a new file store location called 'Storage Card" and it has renamed my stoage card " Storage Card 2". All my files are then seen on "storage Card 2" but cannot be run.

i then deleted "storage card" and rebooted. the wizard then automatically renamned "sorage card 2" back to "storage card" and all my installed programs were ecognized and worked just fine. i suspect there is a bug in the OS regarding stogae card recognition at boot up . any ideas on this ?

thanks

I am on stock 4.3 with the Knoxed 4.3 boot loader. From everything I've read, I can still flash CWM and custom Roms, as long as they are 4.3+?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Nope, once on 4.3 you can not flash custom rom/kernel or cwm/twrp. Only thing you can do is root. There's a work around which very limited in custom TW rom flashing is safestrap. Also they're trying to hack the bootloader so that with safestrap you can flash more compatible custom rom. Right now don't flash anything or else you would brick your phone.

Because to my understanding it was Verizon locking the bootloader that locked us down and not Knox.

Sprint doesn't have a locked bootloader like we do, the information about knox on that thread is very accurate. However, we have a locked bootloader so flashing roms or recoveries doesn't apply to us.

So, I got it working again. The problem was indeed in the persist folder, it was missing a file named WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin. So I managed to extract it from the persist.img and moved it to persist folder again. After that I edited the bin file and inserted my MAC address. Finally I have flashed my phone to stock ROM again and it worked just fine.

Thank you so much this fixed my problem as well
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerardomt:
Ok. Let's try but first let me e sure how to do it.

1. Edit persist.img with the .bin file inside.

2. Installl stock rom on my phone.

3. Flash persist.img in fastboot mode.

It's that correct?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiagoPeixoto:
First of all check if your persist folder is missing the bin file I have mentioned. If it is, You have to extract that file from persist.img or You can just download the one I uploaded.Then you must edit it and insert your mac address and after that you just have move it to the persist folder using a root explorer.

I could not flash persist.img, bootloader was always returning an access denied message, so i figured a way to explore the persist.img file using LinuxReader and extracted the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin from it.

So basically i ''flashed'' persist manually. Copy, edit, paste.:D

Where is this persist folder? I can't find it anywhere.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokkami:
The file which he uploaded in post 3 was extracted out of the persist image.

You'll find persist folder at /persist.

You need filemanger with root permission, the you can see this folder.

So copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin to your SD card. Use your filemanger to copy this file to /persist.

Activate wi-fi, the you'll find your mac adress under Settings > About Phone > Status > Wi-fi MAC Adress

Open WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin on your phone with a text editor and type your mac adress inside that file and save it.

I have not tried it because i did not have this issue. But this is the way how i understood it.
