I've been trying to root my TMo GS3 since about 445am this morning. I can get into download mode, I can flash the .TAR. Phone reboots fine, When I reboot into recovery, I get the stock recovery every time. I've tried a few different versions of CWM and TW and I get the same thing every time, Nothing. I bought this phone used, 2 weeks old, and it has 4.04 on it. Anybody have any insight for me? This is not my first time tinkering either. I've been here since the Sprint Mogul, and I can usually get it figured out. But this time, I'm stumped. Any help?
ADDED: I've also tried "Flashed with ODIN agian, latest CWM Touch 6.0.1.2, deselected AUTO REBOOT and F. Reset TIme, waited for it to PASS installation, pulled battery " and it still DID NOT WORK. Got that from here http://androidandme.com/thread/att-galaxy-s3-wont-boot-into-clockworkmod-recovery/

no problem just odin it with auto reboot on
all you guys posting to move thread or close thread you know xda has a "report button" that works faster?
Strange but are you using the right usb cable? I had similar issue with odin not pushing through with root cause I was using my galaxy s2 cable. I switched it to my s3 cable and odin pushed through and have root from stock

UPDATE...I used this method and it worked
I think those are for the original build LE6 though.
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

There seems to be quite a good number of folks here that have not yet received the OTA update.
For those that are tired of checking and waiting or playing the date game. See the last post in link below and be sure to thank reinbeau for hosting the file:
AT&T to release OTA update on Dec. 27 to enable Multi-Window on Note II
reinbeau said:
Ok, guys, go blow up my Mediafire account. update.zip. I used the /cache method and stock recovery, didn't wipe my phone but did break root; you are welcome to CWM it in Recovery, but it will wipe. Enjoy it while it lasts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: There are two ways to apply this update. The method I recommend requires that you be rooted.
Method 1:
Download the update zip file from the link that is referenced in above post. Root your phone and use root explorer to copy to /cache. Once copied; do full unroot, reboot into recovery, flash from cache, then reboot and enjoy 4.1.2.
Another note: Just to clarify, this update file is for stock 4.1.2 that is sent via OTA. Also, I suggest to unroot before installing the update because it will break root. You can root again using the exynos exploit after applying the update. Also, this process does require stock recovery!
Method 2:
If you do not want to root your phone. You can save the update.zip on your external sdcard and apply from there but by doing so I believe it will wipe your device. By updating from cache, I was able to update my wife's phone without it being wiped clean.

That's because this has not been released to Kies. If you were on stock rom and recovery, your status should show normal and it should show as official when you boot into download mode.
Also, if this was not official, you wont be able to flash this using stock recovery since it checks the signature for the file and it would have failed signature verification.

I tried recovery (volume up+home+power). I left buttons pressed and it only shows NOTE II splash screen then blanck then the screen again every 10 or so seconds.. never gets into recovery mode. It boot normally if I just press power button, and it goes into odin if I do VOL down +home+power. Any ideas why recovery is not working?

First of all you need to get into recovery mode, not download mode. To get into recovery you hold Volume up+Home button+Power button. You should only hold this three button combo until the screen flashes with the splash screen then immediately let go.

I was copying the file with root explorer.
I mentioned the "download mode " screen just to give a picture of the phone behavior(what is working vs what was not), did not meant to cause confusion there.
I have a new problem now as mentioned in my last post
I an attempt to get into recovery and clear the cache, I read in a forum that I could get into recovery via GOOMANAGER. I installed it and used "reboot to recovery " and now phone is stuck in ENLESS LOOP of the "samsung NOTE 2" screen.
I cannot make it boot normally now.I think the phone is stuck trynig to get into recovery similar to the manual way described before (when I press UP+HOME+POWER to get into recovery phone only looped samsung screen). HOw can I break the loop ?
The only screen working right now is ODIN (DOWN +HOME+POWER).
Go to sammobile and download the stock rom then flash via odin.

I'm not understanding how to do this. My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Bell version 317 which I understand is the same as AT&T. I have unlocked and rooted my device on 4.1.1 and have Root explorer installed. Downloaded the update link and copied that file into the /cache folder....unrooted via superuser. When I try to get in2 recovery it is successful but I don't know what to do from there.....there's an option to format cache which I'm assuming will delete everything in that folder.
Also, I cannot install the zip via external sd card which the update is also on
Any help?

Have you tried un-mounting your sd card, install the app, then remount the sd card? Can't remember the other fixes but that was a common work around. I'll try to locate the other threads for reference..

If it's not too late from now, you could try to flash THIS RECOVERY in Mobile Odin Lite, but it will still result in being unable to install to USB or SD Card. Then, reboot into that recovery and flash the recovery listed below in the attachments field, and it should fix everything for you. I had this issue myself and was helped by graydiggy through the process. Here's the thread I got help in just in case you need more detailed instructions. THREAD

This is going to make sound kind of dumb, atleast very uninformed anyway, but, is my phone rooted now? or did the factory resest somehow get rid of the stock rooted rom that i had last flashed?
my phone has android version 4.1.1 on it now, it just downloaded 4.1.2 i think. Should I let that install?
Thank you guys very much for wasting your time helping a newb like me, it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,

Check supersu or superuser if it is installed and it will twll you if you have root. Factory reset from recovery will not remove root. As for updating to 4.1.2, that is up to you. The update may not go through if you have root access, but there are other ways to update if you want to.

supersu is on my phone and it appears to be rooted (I think.)
When flashing a rom such as paranoid android, do i have to do it from a specific andoid version on phone? If I don't need to be in 4.1.2 to flash the PA rom that is based on 4.2, then I won't bother with the update.
Thank you,

It doesn't matter what firmware you are flashing it from. If you are going to paranoid you don't need to update.

After flashing paranoid you will likely be met with more force closes or even be stuck at boot logo. Just wipe again and you should be set. Good luck.

Paranoid android installed and working 100% (as far as I can tell, haven't done much yet.)
Looks and seems amazing so far, runs very smooth, hope battery life is decent as well.
I got rom manager from the playstore as well to make switching roms easier.
Quick questions about the Gapps package I got though, will that be compatitble with any rom? Or do roms always have their own Gapps pack assoiciated with them.
Thank you again its been a hell of a ride this morning.
Sincerely,
GK
You just need to be sure that your gapps package is for 4.2.2 or 4.1.x or which ever AOSP Rom you chose. There are not different gapps for each style of rom.

You'll probably loose root. If you have ANY custom ROM installed even stock, I wouldn't do it without first restoring the original stock software.

It is safe to update but, you'll lose root. The good news is that you can unlock and root your phone using the same method as ZVB.

Stock LS970ZVB that has been unlocked. Treat me like I'm 5. When I get to the TWRP screen, what should I be doing?
And how do I get it to tell me to update again? I remember there was a way to make it search for updates (but some sort of cache needed to be cleared before it would look again, etc)?

If I remember right, if it didn't install, and you rebooted, i think it disappears. With a root explorer, look in /cache or /cache/fota and see if it's there. If not, you can get the update in the root guide. Follow the instructions to manually update.
I can't remember what to clear to get the update again. Try update profile/prl, then lg update.

I found what to do, but I don't recommend it:
"go to Google services framework….force stop it….clear data and then leave then try to update"
It downloaded the update, then rebooted, and didn't go to TWRP this time. Just straight to the Android with his belly open and the crystal turning. It fails after 30% and you have the Android on his back with a red triangle that has an exclamation point in it. I've rebooted three times and it fails everytime. If I let it sit, instead of rebooting, it eventually go into a normal boot and everything loads on the phone fine, but it's still ZVB.
I will attempt your guide later tonight. Thank you for your help and I pass the above information on not as a complaint, but as a warning of something that might *possibly* happen to others.
Is there a way to stop the update notification?
I did root the phone as well, but I really don't want to install this new upgrade just yet. The update notification is driving me nuts, there are time where it pops up every 10 min or so. I tried freezing some processes, but it always comes back. Does anyone know what to do so I can completely stop it for a while? Also, I can't find the location where this upgrade is saved, tried /cache and the SDCARD but no luck. thanks for any help that anyone could provide!

I did root the phone as well, but I really don't want to install this new upgrade just yet. The update notification is driving me nuts, there are time where it pops up every 10 min or so. I tried freezing some processes, but it always comes back. Does anyone know what to do so I can completely stop it for a while?

great, thank you!
For those like me who don't know much, the instructions in the link above work
Disable nag screen - 1. Not for sure. Go to /system/app, rename/delete LGFOTA.apk/odex. 2. Edit the build.prop - theres 3 references to ZVB. Change them to ZVC
but you will need to remount /system, I found that x-plore can be allowed to run as su and automatically remount read only systems. I edited the file from there and changed the 4 references from ZVB to ZVC and reboot.
Thanks again!

Notepad++, and apps in the Play Store, can edit build props also.
