No need to flash back to stock 4.1.1, you're going to use Odin to flash the stock ND8 ROM then flash your custom recovery (CWM/CWM Touch, or Philz) I advise against TWRP since that recovery still cannot mount external SD.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
I found Rwilcos Odin one click ND8 stock rom but after i open odin it recognizes my phone then i hit start , it starts to run but then just hangs and then i get on top of odin in the TAB area "program not responding"

Im thinking maybe redownloading the odin file but it would be the same file though so would there be a difference ?

Also i have another pc thats a Windows 8 but not sure if ODIN works on it, does it ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Latest Odin should work fine on Windows 8. I would try to re-download the one click(check md5), and try a different usb cable and port. Odin can be a bit finicky at times. Good luck!

Is there a way to flash a 32GB back to stock without the phone thinking it's now a 16GB model?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes, you need a modified PIT file, I believe someone in here solved that problem, just use the "search thread" feature.

My ROM: WICKED X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] willow_ve:
I actually didn't need to worry with a PIT file. Flashing the standard ND8 (link from OP) kept the 32GB intact on my phone. Just a heads up to those who are worried - go ahead and use the one touch Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
I had this before, but it is safe to flash back to it from the latest cyanogenmod nightly right? And also, I can't find any solid fixes for all the kitkat notification issues with touchwiz. The heart beat thing doesn't fully work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kp20kp:
If I go through with this whole thing such as using Odin to flash the nd8 and flashing this through twrp will I be safe to flash any other ROM? When I say ROM I mean like will I be able to restore my 4.1.2 backup or flash an aosp without running into any problems. One last question. Only reason why I'm thinking about doing this is because I moved to a new area and my service went crappy. Anyone think nd8 modem will sort of fix this lol?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes, yes, maybe

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
You guys could just root the stock ROM... Since having the ND8 is a prerequisite to flash this anyway.

Restore from nand backup.

Has anybody else gotten the barrage of force close issues when restoring this Rom?

Every time I restore a back up it goes APES!! I have to reboot into recovery and wipe cache and data otherwise it just keeps popping up force close messages. I can't be the only one. I've even reinstalled and tried restoring system and it goes nuts.

Is there a fix for this? I've tried a clearing just the caché but no go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] allrockedout:
Can I flash rom on boost mobile nj3 modem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Randy3011:
Here's what I do...

First question I have is, "Do you have a good install of the ROM from the beginning?" If not, then that is the problem. Verify MD5sum is good. I have backed up and restored this ROM multiple times after trying other ROMs. I use Philz 6.48.4 and wipe davlik, wipe cache and wipe all to install new ROM. This last step will format system, data and cache. In Backup, I pick the ROM to restore. Say "YES" to restore. Wait 2 minutes until done and reboot. I also wipe davlik and cache PRIOR to doing Backup. Makes them smaller and the restore doesn't take as long or puts junk back that I don't want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alex_camacho:
I believe its a good rom.

I have installed other roms, such as Wicked X8 Cyanogen12, and a few others. The only one I have trouble restoring is this one.

I've even restored a stock 4.1.2 with no problems. I use the latest Clockwork which i recently found out has issues duplicating root folders.

I don't think it's the recovery tho cause I've restored a bunch of different roms without issue.

So I'll give the md5 a check.

Thanks for the heads up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Randy3011:
Have to have ND8 to work

You have to be on ND8 for ROM to work. Once you are on ND8, no going back - bricked phone will result. Re-read OP for requirements. Use Philz and you should not have any problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alex_camacho:
ND8 Bootloader

Yes i know. but its the ND8 boot loader which I'm on. The rom version doesn't really matter. I had the same confusion.

You can't downgrade the bootloader. That will result in a Brick.

Downgrading the rom gives no issues. Except maybe the duplication of folders in the internal sd card leading to "shortcuts" and duplicate files, but no bricks. But from what i understand folder duplication may be a recovery issue and not a rom issue at all.

The original post doesn't mention this but is there a reason why I can't get WiFi? Is there some fix file to flash to get it back?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
I was actually using the Ktoonsez kernel that I had been using on the previous radio I was on (MD4?). I'll try this new one instead.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
That's probably why your Wi-Fi didn't work. Kernels aren't cross compatible, they only work for the version they were made for. Use the ND8 Ktoonsez kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
Is there a noticeable difference between Ktoon and the Cnexus kernels?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
If you know how to tweak kernel settings (yes there is a noticeable difference if you know what you're doing), use KToonsez (it comes with the KTweaker app that is used to tweak the kernel settings), if you don't, then use the stock kernel (CNexus' is just the stock kernel with SE Linux set permissive, which solves the SD problem).

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
Am I mistaken in thinking there was either kernel or an app that allowed the user to set the clock speed of each of the cores on the CPU? So one could run at 1.5 and the other, maybe, at 800?

I'm having a real issue with balancing battery life with performance. After reading the wiki on the different governors, it appeared as if "smartass v2" was the best bet. But I still set the CPU lower to about 1.1 Ghz thinking the governor would compensate for a lower stock clock speed of 1.5 Ghz.

Is it the speed that is wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I believe Kernel Tuner allows you to set separate speeds for different cores. You may just need a new battery, especially if it's more than a year old. The kernel doesn't compensate, it follows the CPU speed settings you input.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
I just bought a new battery from Amazon this past month. It was a Zerolemon that was advertised as just slightly larger in capacity than the OEM battery. So it's not the 7000 mAh or whatever they have. It's basically stock.

The battery improved when I shut off Google Now voice recognition, but I feel like there's something else killing the battery. I use BetterBatteryStats and I might be getting 1.5 hours of screen on time. LTE is always on but it was on three months ago as well and I didn't have this issue of the battery draining at this rate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
You could try updating to the latest firmware- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3007847- but just tell you, you should not keep your data on all the time. If you're doing something (like at work) turn it off. That alone will greatly improve your battery. The same thing with Location and Wi-Fi, if you're not using it, turn it off.

I'm on Lollipop with regular sph-l710 ND8 . There was some kind of sprint network upgrade and all of our phones here lost 3g . All have custom roms . I ran the dialer code to reprovision the nexus and got 3g back but as we all know I can't do that on the S3 . Should I flash this to reprovision ? is there any trick or tool to reprovsion data without going back to stock ? Is there any nd8 rooted version that can be flashed from twrp ? Any help and suggestions truly appreciated . Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperGoober:
Thanks bilgerryan , I had tried that . Dialer codes don't seem to work for me on custom roms like CM , Exodus etc on non nexus devices but work fine on Nexus phones . This would be a nice option if I could find one like this with ND8 . This ones for mk3 . I've heard I can't go back to mk3 from ND8 .

Check it out and let me know if you know of one . TY http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...een-cm-and-stock-sprint-s3-users-restore-lte/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Recheck what thread you're in. This is for ND8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The only way to update PRL, Profile, and reprovision/reactivate your device is on a TouchWiz ROM. Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM, flash a TouchWiz ROM, use the dialer code I provided, wait for it to reprovision, restore nandroid backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperGoober:
Lol , I am on ND8 and my entire post was oriented to ND8 but I see when I mentioned " this ones for MK3 " that it was confusing . I meant the link is for an MK3 stock rom that's hot swappable because you can flash it from recovery , activate or whatever and then flash right back to custom . I was trying to say I hoped there might be one for ND8 that would do the same that someone might know of . I wish someone with the knowhow could look into duplicating it with ND8 .

[MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] Are you saying flash one from custom recovery or odin one then re-root and reinstall recovery . I would love to be able to flash one with twrp . Thanks .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Flash one in recovery. By the way, you can flash a zip of an mk3 rom. You just can't odin a .tar of an mk3 rom because it contains bootloader and modem. Those 2 things are what bricks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperGoober:
Oh cool , so I could flash the MK3 zip from recovery and manage to reprovision even with the ND8 modem ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Theoretically. I've never done it, but I've read that some have.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] succumbtothegreater:
How'd you get the settings app to look like that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
If you take the 4.4 OTA, you wouldn't need to flash this tar. They are exactly the same.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You can Odin the full tar (1.5 GB) in the meantime (the same as what's required before flashing either version of this) and several people have reported using CF-AutoRoot successfully to root it. One person said they had to use CF-AutoRoot two or three times before root stuck. Your mileage may vary.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sloheim:
Just a suggestion, but CNexus may want to update the original post to point out that he's working on a fix for the data problem. I started the download of the STOCK, and then the rooted/de-odexed files.... luckily I read thru all 15 pages while waiting for them to download, and found out that people were having data problems. Save someone some pain later.

I can't flash this until we have a working HotSpot, but I want to be ready!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Make sure you remove the Knox Apps first. It definitely helps for it to stick
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PUNCHYS:
There shouldn't be any problems with the tar file. As I believe that's the sprint released ota. The problems lay within the 2 roms posted on the OP. In which he is working on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PvtJoker:
I can Confirm that CF auto Root does work. It seems like you have to have stock recovery to do it, I had to run it twice, the second time I was on stock recovery. But root stuck!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes you should root before you install a custom recovery... If you have a custom recovery it would be easier just to flash the SuperSU zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
If you installed the OTA you should have already had stock recovery. It's always been my understanding that you have to be rooted before you can install a custom recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PUNCHYS:
I flashed the tar file. Once that process was done I had to pull battery and go into recovery and do a factory reset. Once that was done It booted up and I went thru the initial setup. Then I used the cf AutoRoot file for our phone from AutoRoot.chainfire.eu website (our phone is close to the bottom of the list). I flashed that via Odin and all is well. I updated the su app and when I opened it it asked to remove the Knox files and I let it do its thing. Everything is working well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes I did. I updated SuperSU, and it said that the binary wasn't installed and that SuperSU can't do that. If I uninstall the update all I'm left with is a SuperSU Installer, not the actual SuperSU so I have to update it first, which is normal, but I just wanted to point out that I didn't have a choice. I'm ODINing the tar again because my recovery appeared to be stuck in a CF-AutoRoot loop. I'll advise if I have success or not - going to try battery pull after the tar is ODINed (I have ODIN set to not reboot), then I'll try the CF-AutoRoot, pull the battery, ODIN old TWRP (the newer official TWRP don't work for me, only the Multiboot version of TWRP v2.6.3.1 and 2.7.0.0 work and there's isn't a tar for Multiboot 2.7.0.0), flash the debloat and see if that gets me anywhere.

Comments? Suggestions anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] the_original_teknikl:
I couldn't get root at all with several attempt at cf auto root ... I downloaded supersu from playstoreb and it said not installed and closed.

Tried several times...

I then odin'd Philz recovery (unrooted) and booted to recovery... flashed the supersu fix and rebooted.. redownloaded supersu app and it updated binary and then i had root...

And I did NOT do a factory reset ( I'm thinking that's why I still have all my data but I thought odin would delete it so not sure on that one lol)

I did all that except the battery pull, I booted direct to stock, went through initial set up and then tried CF-AutoRoot more than three times without luck. The SuperSU wasn't even in my apps drawer (and yes I arranged it alphabetically :).
