I have stock LH9 with the cell standby fix/tether mod flashed on my AT&T S3. Since the mod changed framework-res.apk, I believe it is causing my system status to say custom in settings and in download mode. My binary counter is at zero and the rom says Samsung Official. If I flashed a stock rooted version of LG1, will it also go back to the stock framework-res.apk? I could then flash the LH9 OTA without flahing the mod so it won't say custom; I don't tether much anyway.

I had stock rooted lem, with no busybox installed and it showed up as normal or not modified, whatever it says. It did not show modified.
Same here. It didn't say custom until I flashed the mod.

Sorry if the question has been asked before but I just got my s3 on Monday and rooted it the other day. My question is if I want to check for updates is there away I can do a temp unroot to check? I know when I had a different android if it was rooted I couldn't use system update because the root took that out. Wondering if its the same for this phone as well.

There is a app called OTA RootKepper that is designed to allow you to take an OTA update and preserve root. I have not used it but only hear good things about it.
I used this method to get the LI3 update on my rootes stock LG8.
The newer versions of superuser and supersu have this built in as well
Or you could just flash a rom based on the update, or just the kernel, or just the modem/baseband. No need to unroot just to download an OTA.

I ended up buying OTA Rootkeeper to save root in order to update, worked great.
So even if my phone is rooted i will still be able to get OTA update notification?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yes. Even if you are rooted your phone may check for and download the ota update (unless you disable the checking out are running a Rom that has removed the checking).

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

Edit the photo and remove your IMEI number from it, you don't want someone to have that information.
Also, are you kidding? Your phone info shows 4.1.1 and the baseband is also the most current version for T889.

We started on 4.1.1 the update did not change the version number, only added some features.
Flash the UVALJ1 Stock ROM itself (KIES_HOME_T889UVALJ1_T889TMBALJ1_260018_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5) first. I can't remember where I got it, but that and resetting the device did the job for me. Just do a search for it. Then I flashed the UVALK8 injected root stock rom after flashing the UVALJ1 stock rom first.
Yes, that is messed up. Your Kernel is the old kernel.
Hopefully this will clear things up for you.
Thanks, ill try this in a bit.

He should just wipe dalvik and cache and reflash the rom, that would be a lot easier.
I would suggest Flashing freeza's Stock Rooted Rom as edfunkycold suggested. You can find it HERE. That way you retain Root. So if you want to change things, you have Full control .

The OTA will still most likely not work because he's rooted. Bloatware has nothing to with receiving ota. He might as well just flash Freeza's Stock rooted rom it is as stock as stock can be just rooted and flashable in a zip format. He would then have to freeze the Bloatware he wants frozen. Freezing them is a much better and safer option than deleting them.

Mobile hotspot does not work on stock 4.3 deodexed roms without flashing the hotspot hack. You will need to find and flash the correct version hotspot hack for your rom. Ex. MA7, MC2, MK4, etc.
Do this: Flash Phil's recovery 6.0.7.9, wipe everthing, flash rom of choice (I recommend LorJay's stock deodexed MK4 without Note 3 features), upon first boot you may need to Odin flash the WiFi fix (from your PC only), then boot into recovery and flash the MK4 hotspot hack, reboot and setup phone, Success.
If for some strange reason you still get that error message when turning on mobile hotspot, I'd flash a custom AOSP ROM such as Slim ROM, Carbon ROM, etc. Those Roms have hotspot fully functioning right out of the box. Keep us posted.
Still no good. Thanks for suggestion tho. . Haven't tried asop but not a Fan. Any suggestions on wiping or formatting(how to) the internal part of phone to go from scratch.

Here you go. I recommend the Odin method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
It seems as if Sprint has done something to your phone because everything you have dine should have worked. Something isn't right. That's why I suggested trying an AOSP ROM for the time being just to test this theory. Then you can flash back to stock or whatever you choose. You could also flash a custom Touch Wiz rom that has hotspot already working. If that fails you definitely got a phone that's been altered somehow by Sprint. I've yet to ever see this but I'm sure its very possible. Just my opinion.
