[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vizionforever:
First of all I want to thank all the developers on this and all forums, I hope that you prosper in your endeavers...

I have been at this since the sprint mogul came out. Playing around with PPC kitchen and technology keeps getting more 'interesting'...During the s3 root procedure I was fascinated with the Knox and how it was dealt with automatically with Supersu, and how cwm took control of keeping itself as the recovery as well as offering to keep root(such manners!)...

Check your Version # this how to is meant for 4.2.2 ONLY

I believe there was just an update(cause my phone downloaded it and wanted to install) I knew it was time to root again.

This summer I finally upgraded from my beloved Galaxy s1... After many a rom it was victim of a glass of water

spill...Bought a s3 sph-d710 for cheap and have been loving the phone but missing my wifi teather(and text to speech

prowess, why does the s3 stock suck worse than s1 cyanogen 10.2?) so I know I must root.

OOps my volume UP button is

broken! How to I get to downoad mode? to use ODIN! Gueess I gotta Root on the Phone...

ABD? Tried finding the tiny version of abd but after failed downloads and searching for links for the tiny version were

broken so...instead I Installed towel root and followed the guide here

http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/easiest-one-click-root-method-for-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-0155625/

It was so amazingly easy(you download towelR touch the red Icon or one of the donate links in TR), wait 20 second click make it rain, wait 20 seconds then check with saferoot...(after installing it @ goo.im)! After TR immediately without rebooting install #saferoot(do not attempt to get root with this just install), and install CWM recovery which I did thru rom manager(via google play, I attempted to install from their site but it was a zip and it did not jive with my unpackaging skillsEDIT Drr it was prolly for cwm?). Safe root does something for SuperSU so that it will not hang while removing knox( wait 5 min if it seems to hang then force quit and u prolly did not install saferoot yet so do that and try again)

(EDIT: be sure and install safe root (FROM GOO.IM)after you make it rain with TR and then you install supersu & rom manager.Also Install towelroot and Supersu from their perspective verified real web page not other sources/googleplay) I was freezing at chainfires supersu install after making it rain)but once saferoot is installed it will disable knox(noted above)

I then took out Knox with Supersu simply by opening the program(it will ask you if you want to kill Knox) also it will ask to

update everytime.

Then I Installed the 4g and hotspot fix via CWM recovery via Rom Manager reboot into recovery and I was fully functioning..done! ND8Oxed 4.4.2..

I Used this post below as a general guide Hope this helps some, click thanks if I did..thanks all!

Happy Camper (rooted, tethered sprint galaxy s3)

Finally, I got my Sprint S3 tether working.

Many thanks to both bilgerryan and jdsingle76.

So just to help out other noob out there, what I did was:

1. root the S3. www idigitaltimes com/samsung-galaxy-s3-android-442-kitkat-update-how-root-sprint-sph-l710-variant-and-install-custom-roms

(Sorry I am not allowed to post links yet)

2. Install a custom recovery. I did not use Philz. I am sure it must be very good. However, I am not very good at using

Odin yet. I used CWM. Installed it directly from play store. There are lots of youtube videos on how to do it.

3. copy the Hotspot ROM zip file to the SD card in the phone. In my case, the ROM is the ND8 odexing version

4. Back up my stock rom (rooted) with the CWM recovery, in case something goes wrong. Lots of youtube videos too.

5. install rom from the zip file using CWM recovery. (again, lots of youtube videos available)

6. factory reset and wipe the cache

7. reboot and setup the phone from scratch.

There you go.
