This is the same error I keep getting too. Except I'm running CM11 M10 with Virgin Mobile. I guess I'm kinda stuck. Can't seem to upgrade to CM11 M11 without losing service and I can't seem to restore stock ROM either.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
Can anyone who has flashed this comment on whether or not they lost their data?

Also, I thought once you have Knox you can't downgrade? So if I make a nandroid of my 4.3, then upgrade to 4.4, I can't restore back tot he 4.3 nandroid. So what's the point of the nandroid? Just in case the upgrade to 4.4 fails?

My phone is 32GB. Can you explain in civilian terms how to get my phone back to 32GB after I flash to 4.4? Along with links to download the 32GB PIT file, please.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
No loss of data. You can't downgrade firmware, you can use any ROM, so yes your 4.3 nandroid will work.

My Odin is failing at aboot. Anyone have a clue on what would be the way to get past this point. I was flashing back to stock with a one click odin setup and it closed out and now I cant get Odin to get past the aboot.

Is there a way to get the nd8 tar. I can t get the one click to work and cant find the tar by itself. TIA!!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] saltgrassspartan:
Thought I would share this for anyone else looking for it thanks to [MENTION=1754759]prboy1969[/MENTION]. Remember this is the tar for use with Odin. Not a one click
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HansDallas:
Big thanks to rwilco12 et al. for putting this together.

Just wanted to make a quick note about my experience with this. I followed all the steps as outlined by rwilco. When I plugged in my device to the front of my computer and used his utility to start the flash, after just a few minutes the flash failed. I tried again a couple times but it failed again and again. It would fail always during the System flash process. Eventually I unplugged it and restarted the phone. When it booted (both download mode and normal), I was getting a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" error in the place where the Download robot usually is.... I tried a few more times to flash using rwilco's utility without luck.

The thing that worked for me, however, was to plug the phone into a different USB port, this time one on the back of my computer. Once I did that, I re-ran the utility and BINGO, it worked flawlessly. Booted right up into stock Sprint ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] quantheory:
Just thought I'd mention, the first time I tried this, Odin3 hung on the md5 check (for a very long time, > 30 minutes). Figuring that it probably wasn't actually talking to the phone yet, I killed the process and unplugged the phone. Starting the same executable and plugging back in without changing anything (AFAICT), everything worked normally the second time around (md5 check took just a few seconds).

Edit: Actually, I just remembered that the second time, I ran as administrator (this is on Windows 8.1). I have no idea why that would matter for an apparent hang on an md5 check, but that's the best guess I have as to why it finally worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ClintE1956:
Perfect!

Downloaded and flashed one-click nd8 build and everything went perfectly.

Thanks to all who made this possible and so very very easy!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I was just reading that a couple ppl on the triband s3 were on their latest firmware (OA3) and went back to nf4 via stock tar with Odin. So it may be possible. No one has wanted to test. But may be useful to boost and VM non triband. We don't have an nj3 tar. Our only option for fresh Odin flash is nj2. So NDC may be viable.

Latest OTA update errors out

I followed the instructions step by step and it worked perfectly. back to stock rom.

I see there is a later release by Samsung the NJ version. When I try to get that ota update, it downloads fine. I click install and it start the phone reboot (as normal). It goes to the little android figure and it says installing... but then it errors out to the recovery screen. And I can choose to wipe cache, reboot, a few other actions. When I reboot, it starts up but it has not upgraded.

Anyone know how to apply the latest update? Can I use the same steps only change the rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] machcity:
After much playing around with the ota update and somehow getting the keyboard to pop up and disappear in the playstore (total weird), I finally found a version of Odin without the one-click and downloaded the latest NJ2 rom and flashed it. All good. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bstangs1:
So does this unroot ur phone or is this for unrooted phones. I ask because i have a rooted sprint galaxy S3 running Wicked S5 on ND8 but I'm trying to fully unroot it and return to complete stock so will this work for me. Thanks for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes. Odin flash stock, format internal sd, then factory data reset in Stock recovery is what I do to ensure a clean device for sale or return. If you're on NJ2 firmware you'll want to use that tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uneeq_jay:
I have this boost sph-l710 with standard stock running great until there was an update for the android os I tried to run but the installation failed and wouldn't boot into the android os again. This one click odin seems to be a great simple method however I'm getting an odd error from the odin one click program immediately after running it and it checks the md5 I get this error MD5 Hash value is invalid. any help or advice is appreciated, thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
That means you have a bad download. I suggest the NDC tar for Boost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gh0$t dr01d:
where do i find the one click for boost????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Why use a one click? Just Odin the NDC tar. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53194487

If you have the triband you need the one for that, nf4 I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gh0$t dr01d:
I just want to return my I phone completely to stock so I can sell it To a friend that wants it completely stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Well if you have the the standard S3 (not the triband) then use the tar I linked (flash in Odin). I linked the thread not just the file so instructions should be there too. That will put you pure stock unrooted. Do a factory reset as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yojimboj:
Worked so well, I was almost sorry to see my S3 go, thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhanky89:
I lost my IMEI, baseband info, and all other info on the phone. This was suggested as a solution to other people who had the same problem. However I am running into an error

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
You're either on NJ2/NJ3 or you have a bad cable. If you are on NJ2/NJ3 you have to Odin that tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhanky89:
Those are stock bootloaders correct? My S3 is rooted and I have Clockworkmod recovery at the moment. What alternative to that NJ2/NJ3 bootloader could I use? Could it also be the drivers? I recently upgraded to Windows 10. I wasn't able to write the PRL with DFS and I can't even browse or transfer files on it though I can see directories. The odd thing is that when I connect my Samsung Admire, it reads it fine so I am using that to transfer files to the SD. I also tried using ODIN and flashing L710VPUCNDC_L710SPTCNDC_L710VPUCNDC_HOME.tar but it would not work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yeah it probably wiped out your drivers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhanky89:
I reinstalled them though. I guess I'll try on Windows 7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Re install all your drivers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhanky89:
Do I need to use Odin with a stock bootloader or can it be done with TWRP or CWM? I installed Windows 7, re-installed drivers, and I keep getting errors with Kies, the one-click installer, and using Odin to flash a stock rom in a tar compressed archive, and a smaller .tar compressed archive for just a recovery doesn't flash either. Read on another forum that I should take out the SD card while flashing and I have done that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Must use odin. Make sure kies is not running or uninstalled. Kies will mess with odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhanky89:
Is there a certain archive I need to be flashing? Kies is uninstalled and not running.

L710VPUCNDC_L710SPTCNDC_L710VPUCNDC_HOME.tar

Sprint-SPH-L710-StockRecovery.tar

Are the archives I've tried using with Odin and nothing.

Cant install this

I am running 5.1 cyogen rom. I have drivers installed. I have root. I have the proper tools. The issue is when I go into download mode the odin tool doesn't see phone. I let the tool try to go into download mode and it fails. Any ideas? thanks. I want to go back stock. Odin tool sees phone when booted, but not in download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zin0:
Hi,

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm encountering no progress after the "Get PIT for mapping" step. I waited about 30 minutes. Should I have waited more or is there an issue?

Thanks for the assistance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
What step are you talking about? It's just click to start. There is no pit in this method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zin0:
Thanks for the reply. After running the program, you have to plug in the phone, in download mode, for it to be recognized. Then, press start. Somehow, Odin launched that step and it was stuck there. Perhaps it was a bad download?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Ohhh. I thought you selected pit in odin. OK. It should not hang like that. Try a different port on your PC. Or even a different cable. Also plug your phone in while in download mode without the one click to make sure your PC has the device drivers setup (sometimes it will start a quick driver setup). Then unplug and start the one click process again.

This one-click is a work of art rwilco12, thank you! Unfortunately, I'm still dead. :( The story:

SPH-L710 16GB, flashed cm12.1 a few months back and the phone started having problems.

Flashed back to stock 4.4.2 (ND8), but it took a dump a couple weeks later, no luck since.

Standard boot brings up SAMSUNG, then goes dead after a minute or two.

I can boot to Download mode but every version of Odin I've tried dies at Initialization...

Except this one! This one makes it to

Get PIT for mapping...

All threads completed (succeed 0 /failed 1)

I suspect a bad PIT (but I'm pretty newb).

I've tried flashing a pit file with the ND8 but still dies at Initialization. Different cables, USB ports, Odin versions, always run as admin, same result.

I have an identical phone 4.4.2 stock fully functional if I can borrow from that in any way.

Ideas?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:

If you can flash twrp onto the bad phone. You can try making a full nandroid backup on the good phone and restoring it on the bad one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sslavik:
>If you can flash twrp onto the bad phone.

That's the problem, Odin can't flash anything, it dies as described above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I thought it just failed flashing full firmware. Didn't know you tried a recovery. If recovery fails to flash as well, that sounds like a bad copy of odin or a crappy connection. Maybe even a bad USB port on the phone.

I see you said you've tried different odins and cords and all.

Plenty of odin versions here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sslavik:
Yes, I flashed a ROM and TWRP on the other phone no problem. I tried an older version of Odin yesterday and it dies at the same place, but with "No PIT File" (or "missing", not sure which). I'm thinking maybe the PIT file(s) I downloaded don't match the phone, though both said they were for this model. Any idea how to create a PIT from my working phone?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
For stock rom you could:

Boot into bootloader and use Rsd to flash the latest update 19.6.3 in full if you want to stock rom, or mfastboot just the system.img from the Rsd file if you have a stock kernel still.

Or if you just want to stock recovery use the command:

boot into bootloader and in cmd window type "mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (no quotes of course)
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 335Deezl:

This is something that sprint encourages you to do. It's not really a referral. It's a grouping of accounts for mutual gain. I could see if I was using a referral code to get like a 100$ visa but that's not what this is. Especially this being a sprint subforum... It's kinda silly. The whole point of Framily is to socialize and create a mutual savings hub. I'd assume that XDA being the open development platform that it is would be all for that. But I apologize to the mods.

Default wifi key apps for android??? (calculate from mac&ssid?netgear,cisco etc???)

Hey,

do you know any wifi key calculator apps that calculates the default wifi password from mac and ssid ???

there are many apps but mostly they are for routers like jazztel or something like that, also routers ive never seen in my country( germany), only some for easybox, i know apps like router keygen and speedkey but im looking for an app that will work with cisco or netgear routers or something like that.

is there any app or isnt there even a algorithm to calculate for netgear or cysco routers?

you u know any app please tell me :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterAwesome:
If you're looking for apps which can find a wifi password all are fake. For recovering password of wifi registered on your device it's found under /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant here passwords for wifi are stored.

There no such sort of calculating password from Mac and ssid. Mac address is purely hardware based. And ssid is based on the name you give it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKingOfQueens:
Thank you for answering me, there are a few routers where you can calculate the key from mac and ssid, for example easybox routers! They have the manufacured default pass that u can calculate, and some other routers too(if they dont got changed manually)

I tried it alsso but inever could calculate the right key, i think its cause the easykey apps calculate a 9 digit key but my friend has calculated one and it works for him but his password he calculated has more digits than 9, i will ask him for the name of the app next time i see him

On my local server, I see a subsonic process with the command ffmpeg fire up and consume 100% of a thread. I think this is a transcoding library. Did anything change in NC4 that would effect media transcoding? Is it just as hard to revert OTAs as to root the phone?
