I had just installed jelly bean today and missed the native Wifi mod that I had installed, so I built a new one based off of the script found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801923
This is only for ATT Jellybean 4.1.1 UCDLK3 since I decompiled and compiled from that framework.

Can you tell me what tools you used? I tried modding this file twice today with APK Multi Tool (latest one from his website), aapt from the newest Google SDK, and the framework files from my phone. Both times my phone refused to boot, but yours was no problem.
Thanks for the release!
^^^ this!
I tried as well since I had it working on LI5, updated everything and tried a couple times... would not boot. what did you do to get it working?
Just made my nandroid backup to try this out.

Great work! Was the only thing missing for me :fingers-crossed:
Donloaded the .zip to the phone. Used Rom Manager to reboot into ClockWorkMod recovery. Selected " apply update from external card", then selected the zip file.
I get "E:System verification failed", then "Installation aborted"
Any help would be appreciated guys.
SOLVED:
Don't know why CWM didn't work, but tried Team Win Recovery, and it worked! Thanks again Allen!

No problem, god knows that I downloaded my share of things from here so I'm happy to contribute back.
I had to pull the three tools from different locations.
APKtool.jar was from apktool1.5.0
aapt was from here on the forums, it's an older one.
java.exe was from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805408
I'll share them from my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kpu00b7k4ol5rlw/Compiling Tools.rar
It may have worked for me due to the method I used. After recompiling the modified framework-res.apk. I pulled resources.arsc from it using 7-zip and then added that to the original framework-res.apk using "store" method so no compression would be used.
Thanks !
I can't wait to try this tonight on my wife's brand new AT&T Galaxy S3. I bought her this phone as an early Christmas present when Sam's had them for $0.96 on Black Friday. I also bought her a Nexus 7 tablet. My plan was that she'd be able to Bluetooth tether off of her phone and finally be able to unrestricted (albeit, Flash-free) access to the web when she's at work (where employee internet access is severely restricted and 100% monitored).

I was going to NOT install a non-stock recovery in order to avoid tripping the counter (even thought I understand we can still get it back to 0), but now you are forcing me to rethink that idea. Already!
I'm still on 4.0.4 ICS. I can't find a tether script. Any ideas where I can find one if there is one.
Which build number do you have? Go into settings > about phone, and its all the way at the bottom.

Shucks!
Her phone says Baseband = i747UCLI5. I assume that it should say something like i747UCDLK3. I tried to install directly from framework-res.APK, but it gave me this error:
Parse Error
There is a problem parsing the package.
FWIW... I had "unknown sources" checked in the Security section of the Settings. Her phone is also rooted (running stock 4.0.4.).
...hmm... I checked for a "software update" (thinking that it would update her phone to 4.1.x, but when I checked (while phone was rooted), it said that no update was available. Then I used Voodoo OTA Root Protector and temp-un-rooted, then tried again, but it said that I have to wait 24 hours to check again.
Ughh.
LK3 isn't available for OTA update yet.
Works great! You da man!

I didnt think the issue was flashing recovery, it was once you boot to recovery, the counter switches to 1. it doesnt increment every boot to recover.
I'm on JB 4.1.1 upgraded through Kies and rooted using Robinson's update via Odin.
Can I install this WiFi BT Tether ZIP without installing CWM or other recovery?
It seems I have the default Android recovery on my phone and there's a menu item to install ZIP file from an external card.

Yes, actually. Just open up Tether_WIFI_BT_UCDLK3.zip with 7zip and pull out framework-res.apk on your PC.
Next, framework-res.apk to your phone, anywhere.
Last, use root explorer to copy framework-res.apk into /system/framework and overwrite the one that's there.
Your phone will restart as soon as it's done copying. It's a dirty way to do it, but it works.

This is the stock 4.1.2 official sprint update MA6.
You may have to flash stock recovery to install it. Rename file update. Zip and place on the root of internal storage.
Then you have to reroot. It's claimed the voodoo app works for quick reroot.

This is what I'm about to use. It installs all pieces of the LJ7 firmware including recovery and radio. There's a root zip you can flash afterward to keep SU access. After that, I will setup SuperSu Pro to survive OTA updates and then run the MA6 OTA through the stock recovery. If you don't have SuperSu Pro or VooDoo OTA, you can always flash TWRP through Odin, and then flash your root zip, boot and then make your backup of the stock ROM.

As long as you can preserve root, I think taking official updates is a good idea. You get the rom, you get the radio, you get any additional firmware updates, and you have a new base from which to keep your stock backup that everyone says you ought to keep. Besides, with Samsung, it's so easy to root a device. Just load Odin and flash a recovery. Flash an su.zip and boom, you're back in business. It's not like taking an update on an HTC device where you have to worry about the new boot loader (unless you had S-Off).
Hate to be *that guy* buuuut.
A.) This does not belong in the Development section. The sticky here says what belongs and what doesn't, and stock ROM patches are not custom development.
B.) This was already in the general section. No need to repost.

Don't think it will. You'll need to go back to LJ7 or just give it a few days and someone will post the full stock ROM - hopefully will all of the root/no root and wipe data/preserve data permutations.

my mistake for posting.:crying: I thought under the R and D it says:

this is gathering data for projects. im sure the rest of the devs will be upgrading their base off the new official update.
i always thought that the only 2 places for roms were in development and original dev.

Alright folks, we're up and running. Just as the title says, this is the MK5 Boost/Virgin Mobile 4.3 update in flashable zip. Stock, zipaligned, basic. More to come in the future, but this should be enough to keep you busy for awhile. Enjoy!
PLEASE READ I've made a few changes to the wording of the OP, based on my own personal observations from running this build. This ROM is unrooted, even though it has the su and busybox "guts" in the build. Future builds will have all this cleaned up. In the meantime, when flashing, you must flash the SuperSU Update listed in the flashing instructions to regain root. Simple, I know Just thought I'd let you know! Enjoy.
Thanks:
Google, Samsung, XDA – For obvious reasons
Dsixda – For the Kitchen
@CNexus – Because frankly this couldn’t have been done without your help.
@Chainfire – SuperSU and everything else you do and continue to do. You’re a magician.
@Mr. Struck - for testing deodexed for me.
@TheBritton - For his help getting this shared around the other forums.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for whatever you do with your phone. Please flash at your own risk!
Download Links:
Stock Odexed
Stock Deodexed
Flashing Instructions:
Note: Chances are you will have problems with root upon reboot. So to save yourself the headache, I would suggest downloading and flashing the SuperSU update from the get go.
If you don’t, and it works on its own, please let me know. But if you just flash it when you flash everything else you should be golden!
1. Update your recovery to latest TWRP, CWM, Philz, whatever you are using. I used Philz, found here:Link
2. Download ROM to phone
3. Download wifi fix from here(Thanks @CNexus): Link
4. Download SuperSU Update(See note!!): Link
5. Download Knox APP remover: Link This is Knox APP Remover, and WILL NOT REMOVE KNOX FROM THE BOOTLOADER! IT WAS NEVER INSTALLED!
6. Reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik
7. Flash rom, wifi fix, SuperSU update, then knox APPS remover.
8. If you haven’t done so already, and you're having problems with data, I highly suggest flashing the MK5 modem(Thanks @CNexus): Link
9. Reboot, profit

Issues:This is an early run, so I’m sure there might be hiccups. You tell me!

I've seen that mod but didn't know if it was safe to flash on the virgin mobile build. Does that mod enable native tethering? I believe it's something in the MK5 kernel blocking tethering. I've tried all root apps like wireless tether, barnacle, etc all versions, betas, experimental to no avail.

Yeah, you are probably right. I know there are others trying to work this out too and haven't been able to. Most likely something inside the "guts" of the build. I'll consult some of the guys I know are who are a lot smarter than me and see if we can come up with something.
Also, for everyone, check the OP. I posted the deodexed version last night! Enjoy

This, for the most part, is not my work. What this is is @DocHoliday77 's port of the sprint SGS3 4.4.2 ROM, which I have repackaged into an Odin .tar.md5; the point being for those who would rather flash this via ODIN instead of twrp/cwm.
You can thank DocHoliday77 for his hard work here, all I did was edit the build.prop and repackage with multiboot. Download link below.
Included in this .tar.md5:
-System image, with build.prop edited to accurately reflect our device.
-multiboot 2.12 recovery image (for those who don't know, it's TWRP 2.7 with the added ability to boot other ROMs in a sandbox)
-KT747 boot image, which is included with the original port flashable zip.

Second, what is the ND3? Is that some sort of test build? Or did I miss something somewhere?

Confirmed, this is not working at the moment. The system image is broken and I'm not sure why, bear with me

Does it fail at the md5 check?

It does yeah, but I tried it without the md5sum and it failed as well, just after nand write start. On the download here the md5 check fails because the binary is supposedly invalid.
The system image was made by running mkfs-yaffs2-x86 on the system folder from the original port zip, running unyaffs does unpack it, but something is definitely not right with this image, I tried using unpack-ext4 on windows which usually works on odin system images but it didn't on this one.
Making an odin flashable isnt a straight forward process for the S3 it seems. MrRobinson is the only one I know of off hand that has an effective process to do so. He only gives clues to his process in his op. Ive done one a long time ago, but I think what I had to do was take tar the system.img dumped directly from the device using the dd command.
If I remember right, it had to be done immediately after flashing, been too long though so I cant remember for certain.
So if I am recalling it correctly, flash the rom, factory reset, then while still in recovery, using either adb or the built in terminal emulator, use dd to dump the image to your sd card.

It's a Stock 4.3 bulid from Telcel, Mexico, in SamMobile says this:
In english:
Ok, thanks for the clarification on that. Once its confirmed working, you should be able to flash it just fine. If that baseband is not 4.3 though, you will likely have to update it as well.
For now though, you can always just flash the rom this was built from. Should get you exactly the same thing, only the method is different.

Hello s3 users i just upgraded to this phone and it came with 4.1.2 so i rooted it of course and next thing you know my 3yr old somehow updated phone to 4.3:crying::confused i still have root but if i uninstall knox security will it jack my phone up or brick it also is the bootloader locked or not on this model just need clarfication.or do i just use xda member cLogic instructions and reroot and remove knox..
I'm not too sure but if I recall correctly this doesn't stop you from rooting. Anyone else care to chime in with your expertise? @DocHoliday77
Edit : upon reading the thread by cLogic I'm sure this works. It sounds logical, and his method makes sense and others have posted in the thread. Make sure you follow the instructions properly.

Bootloader is not locked, and the easiest way to get rid of knox imo is to flash the root66 firmware. There are flashable scripts out there that do so as well, but ive never used em so I dont know how thorough they are.

If i just use the Knox removal zip in twrp i will work?? Also i can flash roms then right

No need to use any removal method if your going to flash a rom. Afaik all roms already have it removed. But if you want to remain on your current build but remove knox, yes flash the removal as per instructions where you find it. (I think theres one in AT&T forums that might be easier to find).

Root T999 (variants) on android 4.3 AND remove knox
:good:
Forgot about that one! Thanks! It is old though so as I said before I dont know if itd be a complete removal on NC2 firmware. It should be fine, but no guarantees.

ok..so i uninstalled with knox removal zip.Im running 4.3 ota rooted twrp 2.6.3 can i install any t999 rom or only 4.3+ up because i seen somewhere on here you cant install older builds because the bootloader on 4.3 dont play well with older builds
You can flash older roms just fine. As for if they'd be better or worse on 4.3 firmware I'm not sure. Should be ok though, depending on how old you want to go. The further back, the more likely it is you might see some issues, but not many have done this so I can't say for sure.

Thanks:good:..One more thing,ok im running stock 4.3 rooted build uvuenc2 t999 twrp recovery 2.5.0.0 i read that i cant restore backup with twrp do i overwrite twrp with cwm to backup or what also while backing up in twrp do i backup boot,cache or just system,data,etc..
System - rom
Boot - kernel
Data - (apps, settings, etc)
I use twrp 2.7.0.0 and have no issues. Haven't used cwm in several years. Yours is very old though. If you dont update it it will probably give you problems.

CM still hasnt bothered to update their updater-scripts to include the latest firmware builds. You will have to manually edit the script and either delete ALL "assert" lines, or add your firmware build to it.

Well i also tried to flash a different rom using twrp 2.7.0 t999 4.3 and got the same error??and also where could i find a good editing script tried 7zip but it came with malware so had to delete.I really like cm and want to try.
Use Notepad++ for editing the script. Get it here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Get 7-zip from here: http://7-zip.org
Not sure where you got yours if it says its malware. I've been using it for years with zero issues and believe it can be trusted. Just extract the contents of the rom, find the updater-script in the meta-inf folder tree and edit with notepad++. Also delete the signatures if they are present (3 files in the meta-inf folder). Some roms have them, some dont. CM probably does.
There are many roms out there that have not been updated to include the latest firmware builds. You more than likely got another one like it.
