Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to root the S3 after the latest T-Mobile OTA?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842142
I used this method today, but was already rooted before the update and installed it via Kies. You can probably modify the process a bit to work for you.
In Odin, you may have to uncheck the automatic reboot button, as the ROM tries to overwrite the custom recovery image with each reboot before you are rooted.

This actually is a simple thing to solve! Cybernook over in the Q&A brought this to our attention so big thanks to him!
When you install the update it included these files in /system
recovery-from-boot.p
install recovery.sh
Either change extention to .bak or delete and your recovery will stick permanantly.

Were you rooted before the ota? Did you already do the ota? If so you root with odin the same way as before. If you are rooted before the ota I would just suggest flashing wildchld rom that updates and keeps root.

Yes, sorry bout that. Should be:

You can delete them or rename them with .bak extension. Either way should work. Remember you will have to reinstall custom recovery one more time, but that should be it!

No, there is no files like that in /system/etc or in /system.
I was rooted before OTA. Installed OTA over Kies without unrooting - no problem. But the question is - what is the safe way of rooting again without wiping?

I actually have not gone this far with the process just yet. I'm testing some theories I have about the updates and how they work first.
I'm not quite sure which is "the best" root method right now but just read the first page and last 5-10 pages in the method threads. You should be able to see which has a higher success rate and go from there.

i went back to stock for lh9, and i read somewhere that u can root any build with the toolkit and so i tried using that way to root my phone, and it supposedly flashed cwm onto my phone, but when i boot into recovery to flash su, its like a different one, guessin the stock recovery because theres no option for install from zip help anyone??

I just realized that you won't be able to remove those files without root. You should first check whether you have the files or not. If you don't, then I'm not sure what's going on.
If you do, you need to uncheck the box in Odin to reboot your phone when you flash the custom recovery. When the Odin flash is done, pull the battery, put it back in, then boot into recovery by holding Vol Up, Home, and Power until you see the little blue text. That should get you into custom recovery. From there you can flash su and Superuser.
At this point you have a choice. You can reboot, but it will replace your recovery with stock. You'll still have root though. You'll need to remove the files and reflash a custom root either with Odin, the dd method, or using ROM Manager or GooManager.
The other choice is to use adb while you're booted into the custom recovery and remove the files before you reboot.

If you do flash LG1, be sure to do a factory reset in recovery before you boot to LG1 or you'll get errors from android.process.acore. If you do this with stock recovery, you'll lose all the picture, sound, and video files you have on the internal storage.

A couple of weeks ago, I went on Sammobile and installed a leaked OTA that I thought didnt carry any problems with until now. I Installed the UVLI1 verson. Now yesterday, I just found out that I will not be able to get any OTAs from T-Mobile since my modem number is changed. So I tried to Install the UVALH2 update so I can get back on the offical modem but its not letting me install it! Im 100% stock. No root or anything. I need help please.

One more noob question.... How do you know if your phone is unrooted? I Flashed the previous update and cleared my cashe and wiped my data and now my device status is normal. does that mean that im not rooted anymore?
Glad you're learning some of the basics but you should definitely read before you start going to sammobile and installing leaks. You should be glad that your phone isn't bricked.

Learning is what happens when you do something that you don't have the knowledge to do. If I said I knew what I was doing before I started flashing, I would be a liar. That being said, a smart person learns from other people's mistakes. Read a lot.
It's simple. Basically, never flash anything that isn't made for the SGH-T999. And if using Odin, always use PDA.
Since you are rooted, get Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. Run it, and type: su <enter> reboot nvbackup <enter>. This will backup your IMEI data, so it can be restored should it ever become corrupted. You will only need to do this one time.
Follow these instructions, and it's pretty much impossible to hard brick.
You want to check root status? Why do you need another app from the Play Store? Just open Superuser/SuperSU. It will tell you if the binaries are present/updated. Though, the presence of a su app is generally indicative that you have root access.
It seems to be blocking the update videotron is pushing..
Thanks.

It'll have to be stock recovery for it to even download to the phone I'm pretty sure.
Only a few options I can think of.
Get a stock VLALE6 recovery and install it.
Flash the stock FW and then update.
Or just flash the updated stock FW.
Has it already downloaded the ota?
It should be in /cache/fota/ if it has. It'll be update.zip.
If it did, I can help you get it installed as is. Make a copy of the update.zip if you can btw.

If you want you can try using Mobile Odin. Download the LE6 FW and choose to install it in Mobile Odin. You can deselect everything but recovery and flash. Then you should be able to get the ota.
You could also pull recovery.img from the FW re-tar it and flash with pc odin.

Always good to have another resource, but two things real quick...
He can't use this FW. Its for the T999 but since he's on Videotron he will almost certainly have the model T999V.
It does not say what build either the FW or the Recovery are. I'm guessing they are both the original build UVALEM, but it really should specify.
Thanks anyway man.

If you do have the T999V like I suspect, use the links I gave you a couple posts up.

I have not succeeded in getting a straight answer on this in the related development threads.
One way appears to be to Odin a recovery, but as I am using TWRP, but there is no .tar file out there that I can find (there was a link but its down). I have a TWRP .img, but do not want to mess with the commands to install it (bricks are a possibility). Also, since ODIN will completely repartition, Root Keeper is not going to work (the app itself says it won't).

I had found a TWRP tar, It installed OK, and I tried flashing SU, but it did not take (probably an old version).
Then I saw the Root66 and all is well. Since it was rooted, just let GooManager flash recovery.
Ya just odin'ed Doc's above link and it didn't put TWRP even though it said it was successful... first time I've actually attempted to flash a recovery via ODIN. Any tips while I search around.
Check if you have
/system/recovery-from-boot.p

Delete and reinstall recovery.

Oh, I was under the impression that I didn't need root to do all this, lol. I remembered the CWM easy install thread, where you Odin the recovery then install a root .zip. Well, I'll have to do it the root66 method, and I have to go to work now, so tonight I guess. I have to be rooted all day long and deal with all this bloat now lol.
Its usually easy like before. But if youve applied an OTA it adds these files which rewrite recovery on boot. It how they update the recovery.

confirmed the manual way (odin tar, odin custom recovery, flash su) still works if anyone cares
Does anyone have it backed up
Good question but how does one do that? Initial OE1 root users only?
Easy way is to root OE1 in Odin but leave stock recovery until Flashify is installed in Google Play (root only devices) and backup stock recovery. That could be shared to install with Flashify easily as well.
A harder way may actually require custom kernel? ADB copy the recovery to sdcard. I don't think that's possible with stock recovery and enforcing kernel?
Hopefully one that reads well before rooting OE1 the first time will come across this and help out accordingly. The adventurous trying the incremental OTA to get the 5.1.1 OTA, whenever that is, could make a short root and unroot quick stop along the way to 5.1.1 OTA to help out those stuck on OE1 without stock recovery. That would be helpful if so bold. And if so willing, root/TWRP/backup everything on 5.1.1 and try to Odin another stock to see if Odin is still broke. If you're thinking, "you first", I'm not that adventurous myself but rather patient, waiting for the tar or all clear on Odin. Regards to unfortunate on OE1, especially if they have to wait for a tar.

I think I understand your request. But you need stock recovery and unroot to take the next OTA if not waiting for a tar.
Unroot can be done within SuperSU app.

Didn't you just get a swapped refurb? Stating it came with bob7? Did you flash oe1 on purpose after all that?? Lmao it's cool. Just curious. I like oe1. I'm fine. But to upgrade. Not sure which device yet. Sprint is offering early deal. Some free some 15 like S6 edge etc. Lg g4. M9. Not sure if I want these. Might wait for note 5 or go ahead and buy one now and pick up note 5 on release.

He says you should be careful using these with compression formats. I would think the .bin extension got placed there by the process of uploading and storage and downloading. For those downloading, to remove it or rename without knowing how it was uploaded is risky.
To answer the questions that followed your upload, can you share with us the process you used? Did you convert it or just upload the original raw file with no extension? I suspect the latter is true since it appears to have no compression.
If uploaded as raw/no extension, I'd say just remove the .bin extension to flash as raw in Flashify before unrooting. (When trying to return to stock.)
Thanks in advance.
