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.
From another member in that thread confirming:
*Edit: Worked like a charm. Gentlemen, we have the solution. Thanks due (and given) to cybrnook both here and in the guide

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.

Hey doc is install recovery.sh under system/etc/ cuz I only found recovery-from-boot.p under /system?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Yes, sorry bout that. Should be:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
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.

Update.zip won't be out until OTA starts which will probably be Monday.
However... let me pull an older version .ZIP and see if I can make one for ya.
(Can probably even throw in my root package if do it this way.)
Will also need to remove 2 images so it doesn't toast your existing data.

Most likely just dump /system and /boot and make a nodata flashable zip. Kind of a workaround OTA that will flash in custom recoveries on rooted roms

Hi. I just rooted my phone on FI27. Will I get notification to update to FL24 OTA? If so, is it safe to do the update or do I have to unroot first before updating?
i repacked the FL24 modem into a flashable .zip if anyone is interested,
it can be found over on the FL24 thread at sxtp in the 2nd post - http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=113

Usually the update will wipe the root. So if you accept the ota yiu will be FL24 unrooted. Then you can reapply root.

If I can remember correctly, which it's been what seems like forever, there are two fixes to try (there may be other fixes):
1. Clear cache in recovery and restart and try
2. Attempt to check via Kies.
[OTA][ZIP][LEN-MK3]Official Repository
Only for SPH-L710 SPR.
Only for Full Stock Devices. [could be flashed over rooted build with correspondent Recovery to keep root AT YOUR OWN RISK]
Flash over correspondent build.
Well my friends the tittle is self explanatory. Enjoy!
Note: If you restore back to ICS LEN using original .tar file you will trigger a NO SIM CARD don't worry applying the OTA files one by one will eventually get rid of that.
Here is the original LEN .tar.md5 to restore to ICS. use in PDA in ODIN PC. MD5=0E47E6A8821E7AEB3416A09D980C2D0A

I'm sorry for not understanding, but is this .zip archive used to restore a Sprint galaxy s3 phone back to completely stock everything?

If I have 4.3, will the 4.3 .zip restore everything back to stock again?

For that you should use a full 4.3 .tar file, OTA are only the patches not a full OS.

I'll try to post them in my 4.4.2 modem thread sometime today. Have to download each full firmware to get them though so it may take a little time.
Unless anyone wants to extract the Non-hlos.bin from the firmware and just upload that for me!

Starting with the full firmware .tar.md5 file, extract with 7zip and you'll see all the different partitions that are flashed when you flash with Odin.
NON-HLOS.bin is the modem.
Tz.mbn - Trust Zone
Rpm.man - resource and power management
Sbl2&3 - secondary boot loader
Aboot.mbn - application bootloader
Boot.img - kernel
I don't need that to be done now though. I started the downloads earlier so they should be waiting for me when I get back.

You flash via custom recovery, which you'd have to flash with Odin.
A custom recovery will trip the warrant bit. There's no way to root without doing so.

Ah there used to be I think. Anyway my 1year warranty ended 2 days ago so tripping the counter should not be a problem right?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using XDA Free mobile app
Nope. If its out of warrany it doesn't matter at all. There used to be root66 firmware which didn't trip it, but the latest versions had mixed results. And the 4.4.2 builds aren't out....yet. You can wait to try that if/when they are ready, or you can root via recovery as mentioned earlier.
New root66 will be worked on, but I can't give a solid eta as I'm not the one doing the work. Not promising anything either.

Hi,
I just upgraded to the firmware on Bell S3. I tried to flash supersu_2.0.zip from your signature. It gave me package signature error while I tried to install the zip. Su didn't intall. Any ideas?
Thanks,
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.

I know that if you don't have it, you need someone who still had it to help. Forgive me but I wasn't telling you how to get it but asked someone who could help to get it to you.
I quoted you to say you ask a good question. But for the benefit of someone not knowing how to get stock recovery, I made a suggestion. Sorry if I'm failing to explain myself.

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.

Per the developer, Flashify backups of kernel and recovery are raw .img files.
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.
