Hi i am having trouble installing the the tmobile software update that was release about a week ago. I bought this phone awhile back from a guy who had it rooted but i told him to have it reset to the original mode. Whenever i try to update it it takes me back to recover mode CWM. What should i do? If not what are benefits of rerooting if i can?
There are 3756372848362 threads on this exact topic and they have all been posted since the OTA update came out two weeks ago.
Try a search
And here's a hint: if you are using cwm recovery the ota update will not work with your phone.

well i am not familiar with all these rooting process and i dont want to brick my phone. My SD doesnt have any files except some of the apps i moved there . Will the Wipe data/factory reset solve my problem or will it brick if i choose it.

ok nvm i will do but right now i did something stupid that i though would solve my usb connection problem. I downloaded the usb storage manager from android marketplace and change some of the settings (erase some sd file names) and now my phone is showing 0 space available and to make matter worse i just uninstalled the program and cant download anything.
You dont have to unroot to take the ota. Just have to have the stock recovery

This topic has been brought up so many times it isnt even funny any more. Even in the rom threads like juggernaut people are asking how to get rid of this update. A SIMPLE search would have answered the question..
...and its not like i didnt help the guy after i chided him for not searching. All he has to do is flash the rom i posted a link to via CWM which he ALREADY stated exists on his phone.
Damn teenagers on xda.

Thank you!
If you have access to Odin i'd recommend flashing over one of the pre-rooted packages.
You can use the ie22 GB rooting method according to Qbking77, and that way you won't need to ODIN or flash anything and lose your data.
Also next time post in Q & A so you don't get flamed

This is all I've been able to figure out. If you go to the one click root stickied post it links to a gingerbreak post that has a bunch of people posting that the gingerbreak method doesn't work for OTA upgrades.

The odin method does work... you have to odin a custom kernel to make cwm stick... then flash cwm with odin... then flash su.zip via cwm...

Honestly, since Rodderik responded to you in the one click root method thread, I would use the thread he linked you. You can't go wrong with anything he says, and Qbking's videos are always spot on as well. To be safe, I would do one of those. Back up all your apps and your homescreens and go from there.

The ei22 method is the same method for el30 and it most defenitely requires odin... but you don't lose any data...

I know there's been multiple threads on this topic but I can't figure out how to solve it after reading each one. Here's my story. I rooted it and then flashed CM10 via cwm recovery and everything was working fine. One day later without doing anything my 4g started slowing down and eventually I can't get anything but edge. I looked around xda and found out that i might be missing my IMEI. Sure enough my IMEI was a 0. I tried recovering to a back up but that didn't fix it so I injected it back in via Peoplearmy's method. The IMEI is now in place but I still wasn't getting anything but edge. I tried using odin to flash it back to stock which worked but I still wasn't getting anything but edge. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? I have contacted Peoplearmy but he hasn't replied yet and i need this fixed asap so it would be great if someone could help me out. This is the T-mobile version of the s3. If you need any more information please ask. Thanks. I would post this in another place but I don't have enough posts. Relatively new here.
Another victim... Listen man, it's hard to say how to fix this issue. Nobody really knows how people are losing their imei although I think there is a ****ty cwm recovery floating around. If you read through the imei recovery thread there is a ton of people with the same issue as you.

From what I have read is due to cwm. Just flash twrp and you'll be fine. What you can do is just root and keep it stock. At least that gives you more freedom.

I think you need to restore the entire backup, not just the imei. I would also check the imei recovery threads as they would probably have more information that will be more useful.

Just use the goo manager app from the market. If you Odin the recovery it will add 1 count to the ticker. Confirm this way it won't. Once installed give root permissions>select menu>install recovery script(something along those lines) and you should be all good.

Oh, didnt realize he took it down temporarily. Did you make the backup required by it though? Once you have that just pm peoplearmy. Hes been extremely helpful to a lot of people.
Read through his threads while you are waiting for his reply as there is most likely a way to do it manually anyway.
I know its a long one so try searching the thread for qcn restore or backup or anything related.

does anyone have a recovery of the STOCK EFS folder? or what else should i do?
The QCN generator appearnatly doesnt have the Tmobile binaries...so now what?

Questions dont go in dev...please look before you post.
Did anyone receive OTA update this morning? I woke up at 5 in the morning and saw I had update on my S3.. I try to upgrade it but it failed because my phone is rooted and it gave me error something with the key on the CWM.
Let me know if someone else had similar update
I think it's LI3..........it's been appearing on many phones for the past week.
The only OTA that is being pushed out right now is LI3. If you are stock rooted you will not be able to accept it if you have a custom recovery. If you do accept it (with a stock recovery) you will lose root.
To manually apply the update to a stock rooted phone (and maintain root) follow the procedure posted here.

I applied it and I'm stock rooted with custom recovery and I did not loose root.
I simply lost my custom recovery which was easily fixable by reflashing it.
I would like to know what update includes though. Is it just the security issue mentioned a few weeks ago about internet links being able to reset your phone?

if you're rooted and have the CWM or TWRP recovery installed, get the updated ATT, stock, rooted ROM from the development forum, flash to your phone and you're done.
Plus you cant update if rooted. Use that same app to unroot and try updating again. Also put ur time n date a day or two ahead before trying to manual update. And I agree you should have asked the question in one of those "other" threads or in the right section "Q&A"

You can update with root as long as you have the stock recovery. The update is 100% going to break root, but that's not hard to fix. Recovery is the important part.
What you didnt pick up on is your post is painful to read. Just like other posts you've made, you appear to ignore any sense of punctuation or structure.
This isn't texting ims to your homeboys. If you honestly want help, attempt some proper spelling and punctuation.
