You can try, but many users om CM13 froum reported it not working. Better use latest official TWRP or unofficial by SdtBarbarossa. They will work.

i just bought a refurb sphl710 to replace my wore out sphl710 but when i got it home i went to root it and everything i tried failed. so i just happened to glance at the model number and found a "T" ant the end of my model number. that t means locked like a SOB! please tell me how to unlock it. another thing, all these people out there in videos and many other print sources say, "sure ill tell you how to unlock it but you have to have it rooted first.

I have the problem that my Poweramp (bought the legit version years ago) suddenly stops playback. It disappears from the notification bar as well. It's like a "Stop" event is being sent out by something. I think that because also sometimes YouTube videos just pause while I am watching them.

Stupid question

Hi there,

I have a very stupid question: Can I flash new TWRP versions with TWRP?

I have TWRP 3.0.0.0 currently and tried to install 3.0.0.1 via TWRP installer app, but it failed. So can I flash it manually via TWRP recovery or does flashing "itself" from "itself" not work or even worse result in a broken recovery?

Thanks in advance!

Flashing from TWRP Manager works for me, I downgraded from 3.0.0.1 to 2.8something from TRWP Manager. Also I used Odin yesterday, no problem there.

i would copy philz to the bootloader and flash it through twrp. then i would stick to philz. i had much better luck with the root problem on these phones. just download zip files and you can flash anything i think.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

i have been getting asked questions about my sph-l710t and im sorry but i didn't even know it. i can answer a whole lot of them because i have it rooted and i have loaded several roms and have been successful with 3. i will answer whatever i can because this phone is a pain until you learn what you have to stay away from. honestly, i would root it and leave it stock samsung while just clearing a little of the bloat ware. the "T" runs fabulously as a stock phone. i didn't figure that out until i wiped the rom and went a month without a phone or portable music.

i loaded liquid smooth the other night and im in love. i got my phone back and this rom is beautiful. it does all the stuff that i always wanted but didn't know how to do. i did it all through philz on my bootloader. i cant help with stock samsung because i am unable to load anything samsung rom wise and that had been my quest for this whole month. odin will not do anything for me except to load twrp,

so i dont know how to do too much but i ordered another "t" and if someone wants me to try something ill do it. i want to know how to use odin to go back to root.

So.. I hope someone can help me. I have a s3 i9300. I am trying to root it with the cf auto root method using Odin. I have 2 problems.

1. If Odin recognizes the device I add the file in the PDA section ( with the auto reboot and f. Reset time checked ) then I press start and It gets as far as the "setup connection" bit and then just sticks there.

2. Odin doesn't recognize device. Earlier it was adding it fine now its not?

Also is there any other way to root? I tried the kingoroot but that also doesn't work!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgellen:
once again, i would use odin to load twrp and then load twrp in the bootloader. then mount the usb drive in settings and copy philz to your sdcard. be careful where it goes because there have been times i couldn't find what i copied but im not the brightest bulb. also, download superuser also. through philz i could toot my "T" and then you go and flash superuser. i hope this helps you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benholder90:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgellen:
by the way, i am unable to use odin anymore for anything other than loading twrp. i used to use it for everything. i also can't use kingo root anymore. it just locks up. i told you wrong about flashing anything you want in the bootloader because i cant and never have been able to do that. i was trying to take my "T" back to stock however, i couldn't flash anything samsung through the bootloader or odin or anything. i used only the files the senior members of xda told me to use and they have that phone, some of them. yours is the i9300 and im not familiar with it but i think its very similar. i have to wait for awhile to test anything because my "T" got stolen.

Hi Guys,

My Galaxy S3 originally had a 4.0.4 Stock Rom I9300XXALE8 details are as below.

I then rooted it and installed various custom roms was on RootBox 4.1 [Android 4.2.2] for a long time with everything running fine.

I then flashed Philz Touch 6.07.9 which has CWM 6.0.4.5 and installed Resurrection Remix 5.0.9 [KitKat ROM] and it crashed a lot so reverted back to RootBox 4.1 but now i sudden UI freeze when i switch on my 3G Data Services and start using WhatsApp or Chrome or any internet based app

I have read that a lot of people faced this issue when then flashed kitkat roms and went back to their old jellybean roms which worked for them flawlessly.

The solution to overcome this sudden freeze seems to be flashing stock rom via ODIN and then re-rooting and installing the custom rom [Hope i am correct here and this is what i read]

Now the problem is my stock 4.0.4 firmware I9300XXALE8 is not there for download on SamMobile but i have another 4.3 Stock Firmware for India for my GT-I9300 which is mentioned below.

My question

1. Is it ok to flash this new stock 4.3 firmware I9300XWUGML4 via ODIN as the PDA CSC and MODEM is different will it affect anything ?

My current baseband is I9300DDLE8

2. will flashing this new stock firmware I9300XWUGML4 based on android 4.3 and re-rooting the phone and installing rootbox 4.1 custom rom which worked properly solve that random freeze issue ?

Hello everyone...

I'm a proud user of the GT-I9300 or more commonly known as the Galaxy S3 since over a year and a half at best. I just wanna is it really time to move on now?

ok this is what i had to do. we can go to hangouts if you want and do video. i obviously cant explain it well enough but ill try again. im sorry dude.

first. i would get the twrp refresh file. at the same time download the philz 4.0 or close zip file. i can research where to get these things if you need me to but they are easy and i forgot. i believe it has the superuser zip file in it.

1-through odin, flash the twrp refresh file.reboot into recovery and you will be in twrp.

2-go into twrp setting and enable the usb drive. its called mount usb"

3- from your computer download to your phone the philz file. just copy it to d:.unless you have a d then it would be one letter higher.

4- from the twrp front page "install" the philz file. it will be on your sdcard if you have one but you should find it.

5- reboot into recovery again power,up volume and home key right?

6- through the philz settings or advanced setting there is a setting to root your phone. do that.

7- go find the file for super user that you downloaded or came with twrp which i think is the case but install it.

8- you are rooted_____this worked for me and my phone was a pain

contact me if this doesnt work or if i confused you more. hehe

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

use the older 3.07 odin. so you need three files. right , twrp refresh or an earlier twrp, ive done both, you need to make sure you hav a superuser zip and philz 4.0 or very close. ok. trying to be clear.

Hi xda

I am new to this site, so sorry in advance if this thread is posted in the wrong section of the forum. Please let me know if Im doing something incorrect.

Anyways, my problem is, that I have two SGS3's both flashed to cm-13.0-20160217-NIGHTLY-i9300 (older versions have been tried out as well), where one of them can't make or recieve calls. Everything else works on it - send and recieve texts, mobile data etc. (the IMEI and serial number are both original and intact). Both the phones were originally running the Android Jellybean 4.3 Nordic version (I9300XXUGND5_NEEGND1_Nordic_4.3), and both were flashed using twrp 3.0.0.1 (and running GAPPS 6.0 pico).

I find it strange, that the phone is able to make and recieve texts and access the mobile network, while not being able to make or recieve calls. Anyone got any idea as to why this is a problem?

It should be noted, that the phone has no trouble at all when running the stock Android 4.3 or CrDroid Android 5.1.1.

The two phones are completely identical, and only one of them has trouble with calls on cm-13.0-20160217-NIGHTLY-i9300 (and any other version of cm for that matter).

Hope somebody knows what the problem is.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
Hi, if I remember right, that exact nightly was one where calls problems were introduced. The later nightlies resolved the issue. I'd suggest clean(!) flash of latest nightly and check again.
