That is a for sure device wipe right? I mean, you can't re-flash with Odin and keep your phone how it is like a zip flashing right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00b-xda-disciple:
Itll wipe sd, just backup pictures and what not on your compuer. Once you odin the tar and recovery again yes you could flash your back up in recovery. But remember that backup has the usb problem right? Might want to start fresh to see what happens. You can always revert back to your backup you make.

I really don't know why. You can freeze or disable all the Knox apps, and there is no reason to worry about the warranty bit trip since most of us are already out of warranty anyway.

So essentially using the msl code can unlock any carrier from throttling you data, or its only for sprint and galaxy phones?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00b-xda-disciple:
Some phones/roms require you to have msl. You change your proxy settings for the throttling. Confirmed sprint boost and virgin.

So I just got my 4800 mah extended battery, I'll be so happy when it's fully charged tomorrow... I need a new case now though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00b-xda-disciple:
How much did your extended battery cost?

I got two and an external charger and two backs (for my wife and I) for $35. If anybody knows where to get a somewhat cheap extended battery case (yes they do make them) a link would be much appreciated.

Okay, I downloaded the app and ran the msl, went to ##data# and put in the code then rebooted. Don't know if it did anything or not, I think I might've made a mistake somewhere.

Wow thats cheap. Did you buy it from a third party person or did you buy it from a store ect. I need to get one of those. I have the very low 2100 mAh battery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
Hmm, ##data# doesn't seem to do anything on my GS3. Odd. I've done it on other phones. I wonder what could be wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Quick question for someone here. Since the Sprint S3 got upgraded to 4.3 or higher the ##DATA# dialer code doesn't work anymore. The only one that I know that works is the ##DEBUG# one. So how is one supposed to get to the Multimedia Menu to change the proxy addresses. I have tried AnyCut, but I'm not sure what exact activity I am looking for to make a link to and most of the ones I tried do not open anything and just give me an error. I thought I read that Sprint or Samsung got ridden of the IOTHiddenMenu app that the dialer code calls.

Edit: Weird I must have been doing it wrong. The DATA menu works fine for me now. Don't know what I was doing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] the_original_teknikl:
I'll second that... I got a $140 (in store) HDMI to RCA converter for my Xbox 1 thru amazon for only $35 and it was not on sale.

So yeah Amazon IS almost always cheaper.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
What insurance do you have? I know for a fact that none of the standard insurance people (bestbuy insurance, sprint insurance, or squaretrade insurance) even look at the Knox indicator being tripped when processing an insurance claim. In fact I know of no insurance ever talked about on xda or anywhere else that someone was denied a claim due to Knox being tripped. The only denial I have ever seen is the Samsung warranty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I can attest to that, I got a replacement with the Knox counter tripped.

Sorry for continuing this off-topic post, but I can't find any information anywhere else. I've discovered I do have a factory settings app, in system/priv-app, rather than app. I also have hiddenmenu, which is in system/app. And the stock dialer. But ##data# still does nothing.

Any thoughts? Is there any other way to execute the factory settings app or hiddenmenu? On MOAR there was an option in settings to execute hiddenmenu, but I haven't figured out any way to do it on the stock ROM.

Many thanks.

Due to cracked screen, I just got a replacement GS3 from Best Buy and the phone came with 4.4.2 ND8 on it.

From stock ND8, all I did was Odin flash Phils Recovery, reboot into recovery, then restore my backup.

This was the fastest I have ever gotten my setup back from a replacement phone.

I just wanted to thank [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] for this thread and all of the people that have contributed.

After 5 years the phone still works, i ended up giving it away. I love my s3 but they are very brittle :/ even with my otterbox im still worried about it breaking

Quick stupid question.

What is the preferred method of flashing then? Boot into custom recovery and flash the tar, then flash new custom recovery with odin?

Flash the tar with Odin then flash new recovery with Odin. Boot into recovery. Flash rooted zip and anything else like de-knox/de-bloat.

1 Odin stock tar with odin 3.07 (computer)

2 Odin recovery with odin 3.07 (computer)

3 boot into recovery

4 flash newest recovery

5 clean rom/factory reset for new rom install

6 flash your backup/new rom

7 enjoy new rom

Oh ok. Then what is that disclaimer saying not to flash with mobile odin?

Use odin 3.07 from your computer. Not from your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Mobile Odin is an app that performs most features of the pc Odin application. Unfortunately if you use it to flash the stock tar you will brick. You need to use Odin from your computer or a similar program (heimdall/jodin).

Got a replacement s3 today that had 4.3 on it I think. Tech there updated my firmware so I got knox and nd8 already. I already rooted it and have supersu and twrp (plan to flash philz soon)

I've never had issues flashing roms in the past even after flashing stock nd8 on my old phone. But now I'm seeing people on other forums say they have zero success flashing custom roms when the knox boot loader trip says 0x1 so now I'm worried I'm stuck with this stock garbage until November

Can I flash this or any other custom rom?
