It's in the stock ROM made for our Sprint S3s. I'm being told that it doesn't actually function, however.

You can try it (while being connected to WIFI and having Mobile Data on) by using a launcher that allows shortcuts. Run a search in the Wicked X thread in this section for "Booster" and you should find the directions to place a shortcut for it on your homescreen.

The tar is not rooted, and can only be flashed with Odin. This is rooted, apps are zipaligned, and is flashed through CWM.

installing v4a on rooted stock 4.4 tw sprint gs3 (sph-L710)

I tried to install the 4x version, installed build prop. But everytime it goes to install the driver it fails. When I install it on cm11 it works out fine. Really would like to stay on the stock rooted rom. STOCK ROM 4.4 ND8 Kitkat ROM. I would appreciate any help. thanks

Gang,

Newbee question.

My SPH-L710 has never been on sprint network. Now I want to activate it. Currently on a CM ROM TWRP 2.6.3.1.

The guy I know at sprint said I need to first flash back to a stock ROM so it can be activated.

I'd like to start off clean, clear everything off the internal memory. I have a fresh Titanium BU, on SD.

Having a problem:

I updated to the latest Philz. I have the ODEX version of this rom on my SD card. I install it from Philz. But I'm stuck on the start up screen.

Just went back to CM.

I just need to get the stock on long ebough to get this activated, then I'll probably try a different rom. Should I try a previous Stock version maybe?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
If you are running KitKat (ND8 bootloader), then ODIN the stock tar file, then root. That way you know it will be a clean install

I guess I should've also mentioned that I checked the site and it was up. It's up now, just checked both links. Checked both downloads, too. If you're trying to download from the phone, try from a PC. Sounds like something is screwed up with your Android OS right now and that be why you're pictures aren't loading too. Try a factory reset after backing up what you absolutely must keep. If that doesn't help, try flashing this stock ROM. If that doesn't help, try Re-Odining the stock tar. That last option will wipe your internal storage, so back what you need from that to your SD card or PC.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Have been looking for some time for a fix to my internal sd problems. When about to give up and flash my first ROM, I was reading this Thread and got to the posts around #499. It sounded like the fix I needed. I don't know the source of my ROM other than it came on my refurbished phone from my Sprint MVNO. I do know it is; Stock (based) 4.4.2, Rooted, De-odex, KNOX apps removed, some bloat removed, 4 MVNO apps added to 'system/apps/' along with custom boot and shutdown animations. (edit: it came with Philz and I flashed the latest)

What I don't is will this fix work for me? Based on the build date of the Kernel it does predate the fix.

Or do I need to/should do something more involved?

Forgive me if I posted here in error (not being a developer *I did write some programs in fortran on punch cards, but it has been a while*) but this the only place that I found info. on this specific issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes, it should fix your problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
If I read the history correct on this fix, the issue appeared to be a problem with the kernel. I don't know the pedigree of my ROM or much about kernels. It sounded so much like the problem I have been trying to track down. I was wondering if my ROM/kernel was somehow linked to this Stock ROM mod. I thought someone could look at the kernel build# and tell me. Or give me an idea how I could check (I was able to verify that the ROM did have the external SD Fix already applied). It is just my need to know what is wrong before I try to fix it.

Also, is this fix in the OP download how?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Even easier, the app Folder Mount [ROOT] has to fix my problem, before it could work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yeah, if you have that need I recommend learning how to use logcats. I can link you to a very good thread if you would like... But most users use the opposite approach of trial and error. Making a backup and trying the fix instead of knowing the cause first. Either way usually gets you there, but if you're OCD about knowing why then LogCats will be your best friend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noknot:
Yes I would like the link. I have been reading about them and it sounds what I would like to see. I tried the Ghostcat app and it freaked me out, I would like something static and b&w.

Also was over looking at 'Wicked' lots of nice features. . .after some more research. . .that is going to be my first ROM flash.

This might be a stupid question, I have galaxy s3 sprint still on jelly bean stock and rooted rom. It's been awhile since I used that phone, do I just flash the nd8 file and rom through TWR recovery on my phone? Or do I have to do something first to be able to install kit kat rom?

I just finally bit the bullet and updated my non-service S3 to this ROM. However, the Internal Storage and the External Storage are now swapped. Which is not a bad thing, just very surprising to see this. Is this suppose to be normal for ND8, or is this a hack/patch that was applied to this CNexus ROM?

thanks

EDIT: Now for an even bigger mystery. I booted into Philz recovery to do a nandroid backup, and upon rebooting, they have swapped back. WTF?

They aren't supposed to be swapped, probably just a glitch.

I installed the deodexed ROM per instructions in post #1 starting with the stock tar, then TWRP, and finally the ROM. All seemed fine eg, I had root. I then installed Titanium Backup Pro and it claims that both intsdcard and extsdcard are not writable and, therefore, I have no TB backup. Any hints on what might be causing this? I did do Fix Permissions within TWRP, but that had no effect.

As an aside, I have no trouble writing to extsdcard after running the SDFix app.

I am frustrated beyond belief now with over a month without LTE because of a stupid APN deletion. I was on CM11 but now I've flashed back to 4.3 MD4 root TW and still have no LTE. Other phones in our house do.

I've tried flashing the ND8 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 And ODIN verifies the file, but when I press "Start" it fades and comes back quickly saying "succeed 0/failed 0." I've tried different combinations of plugging in and starting ODIN, but to no avail.

I just want LTE back and it seems like I need to do something in regards to getting those APNs back. Flashing new radios hasn't helped.

I've tried two different cables. I use a Mac for day to day use so I have to resort to a dinky Windows machine from 2006 on Win7. I rooted my S3 on it andh ave performed updates on it in the past. This time it just wants to act up.

I tried jODIN for Mac, but the .jar file won't even open up. Otherwise, I feel like I could handle this on my Mac instead and have it work.

Do you have the latest version of Odin?

Also, what .jar file? You shouldn't be opening any file. It should be a .tar file and you run it in jodin.

I don't understand why people have such problems with Odin. I have only ever had one problem and it was a bad cable.

I was using ODIN 3.09. Bad cable meaning it just didn't want to connect to USB but still charged? It connects and charges just fine to my Mac.

JODIN is a jar file. It is the OSX version of ODIN, but it wouldn't even boot up so I gave up on it. I'll stick to the Windows variant for now since it's worked in the past.

Where are you all storing your ROM's so they don't get wiped out during the "Wipe internal SD" step? Is there a location that has enough space to hold these files that doesn't get wiped out?

I'm guessing you put them on the external SD, but for some reason, my phone will not recognize any micro SD card anymore. Grr... :(
