[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Hey everyone! I need to ask a favor. If you have updated via the OTA and then rooted using Towelroot, AND have not flashed a custom recovery, please consider dumping the stock recovery for me. I want to try to build an Odin flashable stock firmware (if it works, one rooted, one not) for you guys, but I need the stock recovery to make it complete.

If you are willing to help, please follow the instructions below:

Install

Terminal Emulator

from the store

Open and enter the following:

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

Thats it! You should have the recovery.img on your sdcard now. Please upload it and send me the link. If someone does this, please also let us know here so others don't waste their time doing something that has already been done!

Thanks!

Doc

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Awesome! Thank you! Now to try and get a firmware built for you guys!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] guywong:
Please bear in mind I have no idea what I'm doing. I still have not installed any custom recovery after rooted my GS3 with towelroot. So if that doesn't work, I can try again. I was surprised the file size was only 10 MB and I don't know why OneDrive added "(1)" to the file name.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If you entered the command correctly it will be fine. Its 10mb because it dumped the whole partition, not just the recovery only. (Recovery is the only thing on that partition so the rest is empty space)

Sweet ive been wanting to update to the lastest so i could get the new bootloader and modem but i didnt want to lose root. If my warranty bit is 1, can i still get the ota update if i flash back to stock 4.3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Yes. The thing that prevents people from getting the ota is when device status is custom. Warranty bit doesn't matter in this case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorey03:
Right on!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
Guys I updated with a custom system status via recovery without the warranty flag being triped
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Using one of the methods here right? If the status is custom, software update will not even check for an ota. If using an ota manually by downloading it here, it just depends on whether or not it passes all tge checks it does. In that case neither status nor warranty bit matters. Though if its custom there's a much greater chance it wont pass those checks to begin with.

Answered my own question, towel root didn't work....Framaroot does.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grospolina:
This worked great on my Rogers S3 on version I747MVLUFNE6. However, it did NOT work on the recently posted version I747MVLUFNF2. It says "This phone isn't currently supported". I'm using towelroot v3.

Edit: Framaroot doesn't seem to work on I747MVLUFNF2 either. Switching back to I747MVLUFNE6 for now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
The exploit used by Towelroot was patched in kernels after June 6 I believe, so I guess even though its still a 4.4.2 build, they used a more up to date kernel source. That may be one of the reasons for the update...

Definitely good to know!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tornade69:
So no root is possible for now on this new release ???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Root is still easy. Just won't be as easy as Towelroot. Our bootloaders are unlocked so we can still use other methods to root. If all else fails, install recovery then flash the SuperSU zip from there.

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

And I could be wrong about the date for the patched kernel. There's always the possibility the patch was not incorporated and some users just had issues for other unknown reasons.

So after going through the entire thread...........maybe someone can clarify. Is this working or not?

I just did OTA on and AT&T S3 and now I am on:

4.4.2 / I747UCUFNE4

If it's not working.......what's easiest approach to rooting? I don't want to install roms, I just want root to remove bloatware

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

Well, I was too impatient to wait for a response, lol......................

It says it worked after I clicked make it rain, however, when I installed SuperSU it just sat spinning on the disable KNOX part.

I seen in earlier post that someone rebooted and retried and it worked so I will try that too.

A lot of people have been having problems with root after installing SuperSU from the store (v2.02). Chainfire is working on this, but if its not working for you, you can download and install SuperSU v2.00 from the link below and it should work just fine until he finds a fix.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneyJSG:
Towel root worked on my sgh-i747 running Android 4.4.2 with NE4 bootloader and modem without a hitch. It does not trip the warranty bit or knox. However, if you install superSU from the play store, knox will detect it and block it until knox is disabled.

If you install the superSU .apk from chainfire's site, you can run it without knox knowing and disable it before it does. Your device status will say "custom" after root. SE for Android aka SELinux, might change to "permissive".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Meant to post this earlier but forgot about it. Here's the link to chainfires SuperSU beta thread in case anyone wants to help out with testing the beta releases. Just remember, if you do encounter issues, be as detailed as possible about your device, what you are running and what bugs are encountered. And don't forget the logcat! He can't do much without it.

5' 1080 screen, everything else the same (okay to nudge the battery down slightly if necessary, due to the smaller package).

The G2 is a smaller package and it has the same size battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protagoras:
It does, but because it's not removable.

The Korean G2, which has a removable battery, is only 2600mAH instead of the 3000 of the international version.And surprisingly enough, it makes a big difference in battery time (or maybe it's because the firmware is different?)

I love the G3 (I mean I'm ready to love it, as I don't have it yet), but I think it's slightly too big for me. A G3 compact with the same size as the G2, only a bit thinner would be ideal (G2 is the perfect size for me). While retaining the removable battery and SD slot of course...

I'm also looking forward to that. My next phone is either going to be the G3 or the Moto X+1, but that really depends on the X+1. Can't wait to get some real news on it. Hopefully it has a battery to die for.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluewalk:
I'm starting to wonder if the X+1 will have native Android L which should automatically give it 20-40% battery life improvement. Looks like August is a solid date. I hope they can deliver where the G3 failed.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLKeenan:
Coming from the Note 2, I'm impressed with the screen size to phone size ratio. One thing that has bothered me, is how small the LED notification indicator light is. Can barely tell if it's blinking or not. Might just be me, but I loved how easy it was to see the LED notification on the Note 2.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluewalk:
I thought after the Moto X, everyone would jump on the ActiveDisplay. Motorola must have a patent on it or other manufacturers are still blind to the great value it adds. LED notifications feel archaic after using a Moto X.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLKeenan:
Good point. Haven't really explored Moto phones too much, but that's some very useful/practical tech.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluewalk:
I'm surprised almost half the voters believe that 5.5" is more practical than 5" for a smartphone!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluewalk:
Looks like the newly announced 5" G3 Beat will be as good as it gets for us. Not ideal specs, but I'd still take 720p over 1440p any day. If they had made it 1080p, snap 801, and same camera, this would have made it to my shortlist.

[Motorola Atrix 2] nbucko:
I've always had issues with ROMs when it comes to partition size. If I used system 3 & 4 and put a data partition of 1000M on both, the second ROM I installed would fail to boot after apps were installed. I got around this by making the data partitions 800M instead so now I can run two ROMs. I don't understand why this would be happening though. With 800M data partitions I can't have a third or fourth ROM and by the time I get my apps installed anything under 800M isn't enough space. Is there something I am missing or is this just the way that it is?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
How many USER apps do you have installed on system 1? Since bmm creates the additional partitions on the system 1 data partition, that has a lot to do with it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
I also have same query.

Actually after installing Kitkat ROM on my Atrix 2, I prefer to switch runtime to ART and ART consumes lot of space while retaining same number of apps like in dalvik runtime. And the usual 1 GB partition which we create during multiboot setup seems too less in case of ART, though its enough if we keep the runtime to dalvik. It fills up very soon.

Right now my preference is to keep two ROMs apart form stock ICS so total there are three ROMs in my phone.

Is there any way to create data partition of more than 1 GB? BMM refuses to create 2GB partition when there is already one custom ROM in one of the system.

Haven't tried to see if 2 GB is possible if only single custom ROM is installed along with stock ROM. If 2GB is possible in case of only single ROM along with stock then also I can live with it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
I don't recall who or where, but someone posted a workaround for creating a 2 GB partition. The good news is that it can be done. The bad news is the info is probably BURIED somewhere here in Q&A.

[Verizon LG G2] laufersteppenwolf:
Dear Developers

I'm sure you already heard about the GPL around the forums. In case you did not, the GPL ("GNU General Public License") is the most common license that affects many projects, like the Linux Kernel (the Linux Kernel is licensed under the GPLv2). This affects us, XDA and its members, as we are often working with the Linux Kernel (every Android platform runs on top of the Linux Kernel).

You may ask yourself now "Well, that's nice, but how does this affect me and what does the GPL do?" The answer is pretty simple actually: The GPL guarantees users to examine, modify and share their and others code by enforcing open-sourceness. This means you are free to use any GPL'ed sourcecode for your project, but you must make your used code publically available again.

Now, as many advantages this has, it also means quite some work for us developers. All used sources must be completely public by the time the compiled binary (like a Kernel) goes online. Another requirement is, that the OP must include all information to compile the exact same binary as uploaded by the developer. This means you need to specify:

The used toolchain including its version (linking to your toolchain source is always a good idea)

The used defconfig

The link to your sourcecode (including the used branch, tags,...)

If used, also upload your scripts used for the compilation

If you upload a kernel, publish the source, but the source is not compilable, it means you are breaking the GPL as you did not release the used source. Breaking the GPL actually means breaking the law, which means the sanctions on XDA could possibly be the least of your problems...

Example:

@ROM devs, using a precompiled kernel

As you are not compiling the kernel yourself, you do not have to give the above information. However, you have to link to the source of your kernel binary (for example: link to the OP of the used kernel). If you use the stock kernel, you must state this. Linking to the stock sources is not a requirement, but it is not the worst idea.

Keep in mind; if the kernel used is not GPL compliant, your ROM is not GPL compliant either. This may cause your thread to be closed and/or further action on your account may be taken.

Example:

If you need/want further information, you might want to take a look at THIS news article written by our Developer Admin pulser_g2
