Going from knox free 4.3 to 4.4 w/ hotspot working

I am presently on cNexus Rooted and KNOX-Free 4.3 ROM… with the included hotspot mod.

First question is about the possibility of getting a 4.4 rom using the KNOX free boot loader is this possible? However since we can run other roms even if we have KNOX bootloader I guess I really shouldn’t care… So my more important second question is confirming the correct steps to get me up to 4.4 with a working hotspot mod, I believe I need to:

Odin the stock 4.3 TAR first, then Odin the stock 4.4.2 TAR, then flash the new HotSpotMod , or do I need to root first then apply miked63017's Hotspot mod?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you!

You can not use TouchWiz 4.4.2 for the SPH-L710 without the ND8 Knoxed bootloader. [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] and others worked on trying to do just that, but the ND8 ROM will not boot without the factory ND8 bootloader.

Adding to OP.

You do not need to ODIN or do anything else besides back up your stuff you want to keep including anything from the internal "SD" before ODINing ND8.

Adding to OP, too, if I didn't already. LOL!

Ask in the Hotspot mod thread if you need the ROM to be rooted to use it. At the least you'll need a custom recovery to flash it, but if you're going to root anyway, might as well make sure root's working before flashing anything else.

If I might suggest looking for the Knox app and Sprint / Samsung debloater by [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] to flash, too.

Deleteing the 4.4 OTA push file?

I woke up to find 4.4 had been pushed to my phone but not installed. Following the step above my notifiaction is gone, thank you!

Can I delete the OTA 4.4 source file? Where would I find it? I do not have a External SD card and need all the free space I can get.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good question. I know it's been answered/mentioned in recent other threads but I've looked and haven't found an example yet. [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] or [MENTION=1529560]rocket321[/MENTION], are either of you able to answer this question?

Edit: See two answers in posts below.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rocket321:
I believe the OTA downloads to the /cache folder. If you are rooted, open a root browser, go to the /cache folder and delete the update zip file. Otherwise from stock or custom recovery you should have an option to wipe /cache.

By the way, the file you are deleting should be: 96601bec350a62b3083a86270fcdfc7a359fbe72.USER_L710_SPR_MK3_to_ND8_Update_FWD.zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes, that is correct, however this will only take it off for it to be downloaded again, the build.prop edits need to be done to keep it from repeatedly downloading it every time you delete it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scottlindner:
I have been having some big challenges returning my wife's Sprint S3 to stock (SPH-L710). I have been trying so many things in so many different directions I'm not sure I can accurately describe the situation in a single post, but I will try to paint the picture as succinctly as possible.

When my wife got her phone I install CWM, took a backup, root'd, and left stock MB1 and did the OTA to MD4. I think I did the straight up OTA to MK3 but I'm not 100% on that. Recently I tried doing the OTA to ND8, which bombed. I have tried several return to stock guides. I get a Status 7 with an older version of CWM, the latest version of CWM, and TWRP. I get a Status 7 when trying to flash other ROMs but I can't remember the specifics anymore. When I try updating to stock MK3 using the latest version of ODIN I get a FAIL! (Auth) error.I found some threads to workaround this FAIL! (Auth) error but they didn't work.

I understand the purpose of the asserts that are causing the status 7. I want to respect the purpose of the asserts so I don't have an unhappy wife. :)

Here is what I think is going on, but I don't have many facts to justify it. I believe when I attempted to apply the ND8 OTA update it updated the bootloader for Kit Kat, but the update itself bombed. Now I cannot push MK3 to it because the bootloader is preventing me from going back to a previous version.

I appreciate any help and pointers you can provide. I am completely lost on this one.

Try flashing ND8 through Odin. Also try different ports, usb cords. If Odin is one thing, it's finicky. Here's the link for the ND8 stock tar.

Hi! Good explanation. First, do not even try again to put anything but ND8 on the phone, as anyone who's had the ND8 bootloader and then tried to Odin an older version has hard bricked their phone.

Have you seen this thread? Follow the instructions exactly.

Had my s3 stolen about 7 months ago so i didn't get the chance to get in on the 4.3 and 4.4 fun. Read this thread just for kicks and let me just say 2 things

1) wow this is a great resource. I was wondering most of these questions myself and this thread provided great answers.

And

2) wow samsung really fcked this phone up with its bs. It's actually a shame how easy you could ruin this once awesome and totally reversable phone. It actually makes me sad considering my note 2 on total stock 4.4 bootloader and all can be taken back to pre - Knox firmware.

I wish all of you s3 owners the best of luck figuring out how to undo samsung's mess here.

And once again props to the op for this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks for the kudos! I'm sorry to hear about your stolen S3. It's still totally awesome for some of us - some have had a bad experience with signal and data on the ND8 Modem, so I feel bad for them that they don't have the choice to downgrade once they're on ND8, at least until the issues are resolved, whether it's Sprint working on their local tower system or not.

I still check in on my first Android phone's forum, but there's probably one new post a year now.

That's interesting about your Note 2. Maybe they didn't mean to make S3s brick when downgrading firmware. Shrug!

Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy your Note 2 and future phones.

It's just the griffith vehicle dock with an NFC tag stuck on it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher

You can just buy NFC tags from all over amazon. The NFC tags are not necessary as you can tell trigger to uh, trigger an action when it connects to your cars bluetooth, but I prefer the NFC tag so I can sit in my car without it putting my phone into car mode which is basically

Turn on BT

Disable wifi

enable GPS

enable mobile data

disable auto rotate

Connect to car BT

connect to a2dp BT

Enable auto brightness

turn up ringer volume

turn up media volume

turn up notification volume

turn up system volume

then it speaks out to me when its done so I know if made all the BT connections.

when I have my phone in this mode I can call out for touchless controls and it answers and it reads my messages to me

essentially the reverse happens when I disconnect from my car BT.

I have all kinds of trigger actions, like when I get to work between certain hours and it connects the JP morgan wifi network

disable GPS

disable mobile data

diable bluetooth

turn down ringer volume

turn down notification volume

turn down system volume

turn on vibrate

Launch my private VPN connection.

It also automatically turns down my screen brightness and ringer when I enter a movie theater and does the reverse of the work connect when I leave the JP morgan wifi between certain hours

At night it sets my last minute alarm in case I forget and reminds me to set a pin lock on my phone so that I dont try to use it to message people under the influence of ambien.

I have been meaning to ask, since they updated assist when I say send text after getting a text message it wants me to compose a reply by voice. I prefered the old action that sent back a message saying I was driving. I suppose I could make trigger do this, but since assist is running anyways I would prefer it gave me the option like it used to.

Anyone see this before?

Are you using the stock Messaging app?

What carrier you on?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] migueldias94:
Have you registered your phone with your carrier? I reckon my carrier (Vodafone PT) won't recognize the Oppo, so i might have to go to a Vodafone shop and have that sorted out, i want my 4G LTE.

I just decided to release this to the public. It uses your credentials to make a separate connection to Spotify while listening to media broadcast events sent from the android Spotify client. When one is received it makes a request via the connection for the required metadata and track data. It is then forwarded to your Chromecast to be played. There is a slight delay and a few bugs here and there but overall should be stable enough for a public release. Keep in mind it has not been tested externally until now. You must have a Spotify premium account and you must enable "Device Broadcast Status" in Spotify!

I have no affiliation with Spotify. I think they are a great company who provide a great service but I do not approve of their choice to exclude support for Chromecast. So here it is.

You can find the application in the Google Play store under the name Spoticast.

You can find a post with information FAQ, issues and other discussion on reddit in /r/Chromecast

Enjoy
