It installs the modules but then gets stuck at extracting boot.img. The exact error is:

assert failed: write_raw_image("/cache/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7")

Does that help? :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Yes. That's exactly what I needed.

Went ahead and decided to just go ahead and install TW for some time just to get it working right.

This one should work. Tested and tried on the latest DanDroid.

I've repacked the ramdisk so that androidboot.selinux=permissive (you can check this via terminal by entering

cat /proc/cmdline

after "su"...without quotes), though the settings still seem to show selinux as enforcing.

problem with UVUENC2 update

I am on T Mobile, and received the UVUENC2 update on my SGH-T999 Samsung Galaxy SIII. But I believe that resulted in my S3's wifi radio becoming unstable-- on multiple hotspot sites (including my very reliable SSID at home), it is regularly reporting that is disconnected due to "the internet connection on this wifi site is unstable/slow" when in fact, I know that is not the case, at all. What I have to do now to correct this temporarily, is to restart my S3. But it will eventually repeat this annoying (and erroneous) "unstable/slow" wifi error reporting & disconnection. Just thought I would pass this along, since I noticed this problem with mine, specifically and only after I got this update-- the wifi connection on my S3 was working fine historically, til then. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Yoddel_Hickory:
Would this work on the videotron gs3? the baseband is different
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
No it will not. Even the bootloader is different.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Yoddel_Hickory:
Damn well thank you, i'll try something else
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zhinkk:
I updated to 4.3 UVUENC2 from the OTA upgrade I got from tmobile, but I can't flash a root66 version of this because it's not released yet.

My question is, I thought you couldn't just use CF-Auto-Root with a knox-enabled firmware? I thought the root wouldn't stick? Or am I misinformed?

I'm debating whether I should wait for root66 of UVUENC2 or just do your method...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] masondoctorjt:
Is this good to use on the t999L also?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
I suggest reading the thread title and the first post. A single search can do wonders.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] masondoctorjt:
Wow, I mean just wow. Non of that pertains to whether or not it is safe for the t999l. But I will be helpful unlike you. I searched cf-autoroot and got this http://true-android.blogspot.tw/2014/03/root-t999luvubnc1-t-mobile-galaxy-s3.html?m=1 looks like a different system zip file is needed but similar process. Do in short nirogu325, your answer could have just been No.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
It was a simple suggestion. It's your choice if you took it personal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Any fixes yet?

First I`m a noob. I would like to know if anyone out there know`s a way to down grade the firmware 4.3 S3 Galaxy T999 T mobile? I have searched through ton`s of forums and here in XDA with no luck. The phone is stock and I don`t want to root it. I just want to get it back to 4.1.2. I have tried Odin every version each time fail. I follow every instruction. The firmware that I download is either corrupt or invalid. I know this is a long shot but does anyone know a way to drop back too 4.1.2 without root? I read about this knox crap that Samsung was so happy to f--kup everybodys awesome phone

I have tried to disable it and can`t. I hope I`m not being a pain in anyone`s side as I imagine this has been a issue for sometime now if anyone can

give me any help to solve this issue I would be internally grateful thank you.

I have attached a photo of my odin mode screen hope someone can tell me why my phone in download mode looks different then everyone else`s.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you're not rooted you can't do much about knox. But if you're not rooted, it shouldn't be doing anything noticeable to my knowledge. If you really want 4.1.2 back, your only option is to flash a rom. There is no way to go back from 4.3.

It's probably possible on this device ( doubt it on newer ones) but I don't think many are really looking into it anymore.

Why do you want to go back so bad? 4.3 has been a great build imo. Did you update via ota? Did you factory reset?

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

Oh and that is what download mode looks like with 4.3 on our s3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Re: Any fix Yet?

Well your probably going to laugh but I want to go back cause I hate the new google map update and my phone tends to be sluggish

and freezes at times to but that is the main reason before the update I used the blue triangle icon and it worked great now this updated one

and btw you can`t get back the blue triangle icon short cut on 4.3. First when when I journeyed into the unknown I wanted to go back to unlock

sim because my carrier temporary suspended my service. Yeah that`s a pic of my screen in Odin mode before I try to flash to odin .

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

I got the update from OTA on the device. You got me curious now you say flash a Rom is that the same as rooting or just changing the update back down to the 4.1.2 where I`d like to be? and if that`s the case what Rom could I use specifically if it is the same thing as down grading the

firmware? I have played around with Roms before on a old HTC windows phone and made it android but this is a whole new thing entirely to me

have you used any Roms that are like or similar to the official firmware? Don`t get me wrong I don`t care if I have to root it not worried about warranty just want to be able to use my GPS like it was before the update I rely on and use GPS a lot the updated one freezes to much and

I get lost driving any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Doc Holiday.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
One thing you could try would be to grab the maps.apk from an older rom, then replace the one in /system/apps with it. Need root of course.

For a stock rom, look for the deodexed MD5. Only difference is its rooted, deodexed and CIQ removed. Itd prob be a few pages back, but it's there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Okay just copied and pasted is this the thread you`re talking about?

[ROM][ODIN][ZIP]Stock Rooted Deodexed/Odexed MF9 with ...

Flash this to get Deodexed/Odexed stock MF9 with latest root ... If you get an md5 error in Odin delete the .md5 off the filename and try again.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2357471

And is it the same firmware 4.3 or lower? And could you please send me to a thread in how to flash step by step noob guide lol Thanks.

I was browsing the site and came across this thread

2013.05.20 --- CF-Auto-Root

SuperSU: v1.30

Download:

SGH-T999: CF-Auto-Root-d2tmo-d2tmo-sght999.zip

is this the proper one for rooting my phone? Just curious what is CF mean? I`m thinking Custom flash I`m not sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I dont recognize MF9 as being for any vsruant of the T999, so im not sure where you were looking. In our forums development section look for MD5.

The cf is for chainfire, the dev. It will root your phone, but I dont know if it'll trip the warranty bit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
You suggested for me to look for the deodexed MD5 So I did and that is what I found among several more threads on the subject

I found this video tut that shows how to root your very first phone but he say`s to download this sprint zip which to me makes no

sense as my phone is hard wired to T mobile here`s the thread please tell me if CF-Auto-Root-d2tmo-d2tmo-sght999.zip will work with this tut I`m not going to download his zip file and possibly brick my phone. I have been on chainfire forum this is where I`m getting all of this from. except for this tut I just searched how to root T mobile Galaxy S3 SGH T999.

[Root] How to Root T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999!

Here's a video tutorial for how to root T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999, specifically for T-Mobile.

For T-Mobile, you will have to get into CWM recovery by holding down Volume Up + Center + Power button, then let go of Power button upon reset, a small difference between other U.S. Galaxy S3s but I see most people are having trouble with just getting into recovery after flashing with ODIN so here's a noob-proof video:

This is his download link http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/G...RootSprint.zip
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Everything you need should be in this forum. Each root method should have instructions in the op. Also check the sticky threads. If you are comfortable with odin, try root66. Firmware and link to original thread can be found in my firmware thread. Link in sig.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Well by God I did it!!! my phone is on 4.1.1 official firmware had to buy mobile Odin but that little sucker flashed it and she booted

up perfectly I did have the girl rooted but back to stock which I think I`m going to root it up again was a lot of trouble but fun too lol

hey thanks so much you were a great help.

your friend Steve.http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Awesome! Glad to hear that! I love Mobile Odin, probably one of my favorite all time apps that ive bought! Good job and good luck on future endeavors! The fun doesnt have to stop there!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Hey Doc, I have a update. From what I gather and have experienced from downgrading is not worth the hassle after I downgraded successfully.

I had no camera, no video, no audio none, no service null/null imei, And most likely others applications I`m just taking a guess but I think the

Galaxy no matter what model has memory of it`s last firmware where everything works flawlessly and if you temp to change the firmware it lose`s

it`s ability to remember the software and hardware and makes the device confused which in turn makes for apps not working hardware shut off. I

had to return to 4.3 so that I got back all my audio sounds imei baseband camera, maybe I`m wrong idk but now it works fine the only thing I think is as long as you stay in the undated firmware while rooting you won`t have problems after flashing is my best guess.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
I did however re root with CF auto root so to disable knox and have access to Super su and root checker and of course triangle away.

which by the way says it set counter back to zero but when I actually go to download mode it still shows 1 cnt not sure why it doesn`t actually

reset like it say`s it does could there be a update on the app that isn`t shown?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Glad to hear everything seems to be working! As for tge binsry counter, if you have a custom recovery or kernel, it will re-trip the counter everytime you boot. (It wont ever go above 1, unless you do more flashing with odin). The only way around this, if you choose is to set Triangle Away to run on every boot. Also, if you trip the Warrany Bit included in 4.3 builds, there is no way to undo this. Hope that helps!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Yeah it does make sense. I`m curious about when your able to disable knox is it really disabled? I believe super user allows you to do it

I`ve been reading about in threads of removing knox not really sure if you can actually remove it or not has anyone you know or helped successfully

removed knox? Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Id steer clear of the toolkit. There is no support for it, it always quickly goes out of date (took ages before this last update), and has bricked several devices. Everything you need to get going is here. You just gotta be willing to do some reading and searching. There is a knox removal script that'll do the job btw. I think it may have originated in the AT&T forums, so if you dont find it here, check there too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Lol I was just checkin it out I was looking through it and was Leary of the programs format especially the donation part of it

and I wasn`t very impressed with the whole layout so thanks for the warning definitely not going to use it besides I don`t need

anything that it offers which I guess is dangerous in the first place. I`ll stick with just the threads here in XDA a lot safer thanks again Doc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
A lot of what it does you can easily find other, safer ways to do, often through the stickies and in mine and several others signatures.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Hi Doc was checking out this Xposed and Gravity Box. Was wondering if you know anything about it. Went to youtube to see some vids on it and it

is really cool has some great features. One other thing is twrp is that teamwin recovery? because the Xposed and Gravitybox video showed a simpler way to do everything right on the phone. Send a reply when you get a chance thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Im not sure about either of those. Ive heard of them, but as a general rule I try to stick to stuff thats well covered here. Ill try to look up the videos lster on when I can.

Yes TWRP is Team Win Recovery (Project). You can find the recoveries and more in the links in my sig too. I just updated my repos so all the latest versions should be there now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
I loaded TWRP and have the great touch screen now awesome feature. But you have to check out Gravity Box JB it`s running on my SGH T999

There`s two modules one for JB and one for KK I`m using JB and man that module is full of awesome tweaks I have my clock on top in the middle

instead of on the right side and the white is changed to blue it also allows you to click on your power button and click restart and brings a second

screen up which you can reboot, soft reboot, recovery, an bootloader right from your home screen and tons of other features if a noob can do it then

you surely can it`s insane you`ll like it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Oh ok, I misinderstood, or misread. I thought you meant something different, as in you used something with similar names to actually root the phone, or as an alternative to the toolkit. I do know about those and have plans to check it out though, sorry for my confusion!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Hey Doc no biggy haha! I appreciate your help. And especially the warning on that trash that if I didn`t have you to consult might have bricked my phone. I`m curious though on Gravity Box JB version I can`t put the apps in the status bar tweaks and quick settings management cause I tried to place camera there and it doesn`t show up in the down line my question is I`m running stock JB can I use the module Gravity Box KK or no?

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Dis regard the question I went to the application and it says right there KK refuses to load on JB.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
I was wondering it is possible to unroot so when the KK update is available ( not available though T mobile yet ) I can update OTA or Kies? because at this time both say no updates available because my device is modified is there a way to unroot from TWRP or Odin?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Flash the Current Stock via Odin to Unroot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Ok thanks my stock is UVUENC2 Firmware 4.3 samsung Galaxy s3 t999

it`s rooted stock rom only with twrp. Just curious is there a way to to save

my rooted binary ( back to stock/normal) so when I get the update installed I can return back to

the modified version? I am using Xposed frame work JB and I like to save

my settings so I don`t lose all the mods.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
In order for your phone to receive the update, it needs to be complete Stock or otherwise you won't be able to get update. So no way to save Xposed framework unless its a user app.

Use OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot prior to the update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
is this app fixed? say`s here it doesn`t work for 4.3 my stock firmware haven`t downloaded it yet

because I`m uncertain it will work for my modified 4.3. it seems to be the quick solution I need

but if it doesn`t work for my firmware then I would have to do everything from scratch which I`m hoping

there`s a better way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
There are other ways to reroot anyway if you lost Root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It may or may not work, but SuperSU pro version should have an option to remain rooted.

I wouldn't care so much about an ota though. Most likely you'll be able to get it from Sammobile.com, or my firmware thread before you get an ota. Imo, its better to flash the full firmware than take an ota anyway.

Plus if you have twrp installed, you can reroot by reinstalling it then flashing supersu.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
I had too unroot the old fashion way but I`m on stock now

it says on device status Official now the long wait for

the update KK I hope Samsung will give out a update

to the Galaxy S3 T999 USA model seems everybody else but

T mobile has already gotten the update wish I knew

when the date was planned for my phone model. been googling

but no info can be found.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I don't think there is any S3 that's been updated to 4.4 yet. Latest is 4.3 for all models as far as I know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
Yeah I`ve been looking through forums from Samsung to t mobile

and android and only the s5, s4, s3 i9300, note 2 and 3 are among the list

for the update at this time no mention of s3 t999 as of yet the only reason

I want this up date is because of the views ( youtube) I saw with gravity box kk version

seems it has more options then JB there was a lot of tweaks I couldn't do

with JB version. I`m not ruling out update just yet their still rolling out the update

just haven't announced my phone model yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I didn't see any 4.4 firmware available for the i9300, so its likely still speculation even for them.

News about updates travels fast around here usually, so it'll get posted here when any S3 gets an update.

Of course the newer flagship devices are already running it, no surprise there, but since I haven't even seen rumors about it for the S3, I'm inclined to believe its more than a month away. Of course I could be wrong and we ge get it this week, but I'd be surprised to see that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
I googled this from International business times but you know how the news

is pure speculation. it doesn`t mention if it`s US or international.

Leaked Document and Release Date

Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 already aged and the 18-month software update support have expired which means Android 4.4 KitKat is the final update for the smartphone.

A leaked document listing the model number and release date was caught by JustAboutPhones which includes Galaxy S3. Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 is expected to receive Android 4.4.2 KitKat starting from April to May 2014 along with Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Grand 2.

Android 4.4.2 KitKat for Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 will deliver new features such as Location Menu for easier GPS management, Enhanced Messaging functionality and upgrades on the Google Mobile Service apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
GT-I9300 is the international model, which always gets updated a month or more before the US variants. May wouldn't surprise me for that model, though I'd guess end of May to June more likely.

Two things that make me question the validity of the source though are that this type of news generally spreads fast, and I haven't seen mention of it anywhere it usually gets announced. Also, the 18 month support thing. The S2 got updates for nearly 4 years if I'm not mistaken.

One other thing to consider is this so far seems a lot like the S5 locked bootloader rumor. It was tweeted by a single tmobile support person, but got no supporting articles or announcements. In the end it proved untrue.

Anyway, I personally don't expect to see us get 4.4 till end of June - July. But, I could be very wrong. I'm just speculating. But I do kinda doubt it'll be our last.

I just took a look at the site it came from originally, and they just don't seem to know what they are talking about sometimes. Couple of other articles I looked at just confused me and seem to have a lot of wrong information. ... They may be somewhat accurate on timeframe, but I wouldn't put a lot of faith in what they print. (I.e. half the features they say we will get with kitkat, we already have. And a previous article said lots of users were having major problems with the kitkat update....only problem, its not even been released.)

Now that we have taken this sufficiently off topic, we probably ought to let the thread get back on track toward its intended purpose!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] panteralives4:
I agree sorry about that, This is in topic, to get back root do I flash CF autoroot only or do I have to flash stock firmware then CF? I want to use TWRP I made a backup but it`s in the sd card and phone storage files not sure how to restore from backup from the phone verses the pc via odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you want to update your firmware then you need to flash that first. Or just flash the root66 firmware and there's no need for further work to gain root.

If you restore your backup though it will restore you to whatever you were on. Not quite sure what you're wanting to do tbh. A backup made by twrp can only be restored using twrp. Odin won't work for that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
Doc...

Is there a decent list on what to do to update my wife's S3 from 4.1.2 (rooted) to the latest 4.3 and have a decent rooted experience? or should I just leave her on 4.1.2?! :) (is it as simple as just flashing the root66 version?)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup, pretty much that simple! Only thing you'll need to consider is if the phone is still under warranty. If so you may not want to fully update to 4.3. If its out of warranty, then it doesn't really matter.

If you run into any issues such as lag or battery drain, factory reset and start clean. Only restore essential data such as your contacts.

4.3 has always run great for me on both mixed firmware and fully matched. Oh, and one other drawback to 4.3 is you'll be locked into that modem. Like the firmware, you can't downgrade to an older modem. (Well, you can, but it won't work). This is true even if you just flash a 4.3 rom.

Let me know if you have more questions about it.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

I just fully updated from 4.1.2 to 4.3, no wipe, and everything is working fine. I'm about to factory reset anyway though, mostly just to clean things up a bit.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

Just checked, and contrary to other reports, updating with root66 did NOT trip my warranty bit!
