[Q] Wifi Tether App for Rooted Sprint GS3 JB

Does anyone know of a wifi tether app that works with a rooted Sprint GS3 with Jellybean? Wifi Tether isn't working, even though it appears to. Tried every possible setting in the app.
Am I missing something?

That's not going to happen until sprint gives the devs access to its new api's there is no wifi tether working on any jelly bean rom.

OK...Thanks! Next question - Since this is for my wife and she REALLY loves ICS and JB, what custom ROM can I flash into her GS3 that will offer the same basic "usability", looks and feel as a stock phone, but also offer wifi tether? I heard that CM10 offers wifi tether built in, but looks a lot different.
Also, I've been looking for a link to revert her back to ICS from JB, but find too many messages about it in the forums... Any suggestions on a link that will give me this the quickest and easiest?
THANKS!

This apk got my S3 stuck on the Samsung logo. I installed it and it wasnt working so I turned off my phone and when i turned it back it wont boot now.
Any way to recover without wiping everything?
I can get into download and recovery mode

Works!
Worked like a charm for me on a rooted stock S3. I used the links available at qbking77's page: Free Wifi Tether/Hotspot for the Samsung Galaxy S III on Jelly Bean.

Did you make a Nandroid Backup before Flashing ? That Mod is if you are running 4.1.1 . Are you running 4.1.1 , or 4.1.2 ? Did you try Fixing Permissions ?

[Q] What ROMs can I install?

Hi guys;
I have a Sony Xperia ZL C6506 (locked bootloader). I have ClockworkMod Recovery installed, rooted as well. I'm interested in installing some custom ROMs on my phone. Unfortunately, most of the ROMs that are for my phone are for unlocked bootloaders; I bricked my phone once due to this (once trying to install Pac Man ROM).
My phone currently runs Android 4.2.2, there is an 4.3 update for it too, but I try updating it and it won't update; I get a "Could not install" message.
Any help and tips for my phone will be thanked.
Peace!

Unlock the bootloader

Then you cannot install truly Custom anything. Only derivatives of the Stock ROM. Check the forum "Android Development" for ROMs for locked bootloaders.
That's the price you pay for buying carrier phones.

You'd have to check out here to find ROM's for locked bootloaders. The post above me is a little to narrow, you can modify and customize multiple themes, systemui, home, xposed modules, etc. Difference between a locked and unlocked bootloader is that you can flash a kernel with an unlocked bootloader. Otherwise you can flash tons and tons of different roms that are available for whatever firmware you wish. I definitely recommend backing up your phone entirely before flashing almost anything, as well take a good time to read around what you can and cannot do. For example you can flash any .244 rom on a base stock .244 firmware, what you cannot do is flash a .423 rom on over to .244 or .253 cause then you'll have many issues ranging from bricking to apps and basic services, and receivers not functioning properly.

I got my phone for my 19th Birthday, which i go from my carrier.
Unfortunately, my parents will not let me buy a phone unlocked for some reason.
However. I did have a Samsung Galaxy Gio that I got from my carrier, and I could install custom ANYTHING onto it. It's weird that I can't do on my Xperia ZL Eh?

That's not 4.3, that's still 4.2 .
Anyway, the reason you can not update is that you have changed One of the system apps. Did you freeze anything or install a mod or anything else?
If you want to update use the pc, you'll have to root again.

Not necessarily with root, just update your stock 2.3 to ICS 4.0.4, in the development thread you can find the stock ICS, and the rooted one as well... Theres also some ROMS for ICS :good:

there you go :good:... tried that rom, but when i tried to restore some apps with titanium it totally froze, im guessing because i was using before spyke´s555 CM10.1 Rom, and the apps that i had were basically for JB not ICS, so i downloaded stock ics, & rooted it, currently using lite kernel 1.2.2, and everythings running just awesome
Hope I helped you

I installed and used BBM for maybe a week. It just didn't have the same experience from my old Curve 8900 days .

phone was flashing jelly bean roms now it wont

My phone today for some reason now won't flash any jelly bean roms. When I try to flash them the rom stays in a boot loop. But any ics or gingerbread is fine. I tried every stock no root gb27 and gb28 but same thing it just stays in a boot loop.

Howdy.
1st - Don't forget that we have Sections and placing your post in the right one would probably lead to a faster response.. Epic 4G Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
*edit* Mod moved from General.
2nd - Can you give us a run down on your flashing process? Would save a bunch of questions.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section..when I flash I do a wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik. Then install..never had a problem before.

Try flashing this first before you flash a ROM-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077277

After you flash and you're in a bootloop, pull the battery and go into recovery and do a factory reset and reboot

If memory serves me correctly, KIES should be able to update it. Check and see if you're d/l'ing and update by checking for an update manually in settings. But I'm pretty sure KIES will get you there as well.

[Q] Advice: 4.3 v 4.4 - Root Odin3

Hello! I received a replacement for a TMO Samsung Galaxy S3 for a S3 LTE (. It did an auto upgrade to 4.3. Because that v is a POS I rooted 4.3 with Odin3 (v3.09) and root66 tar. NOW I find out that there is an upgrade to 4.4 for the S3 LTE (or all S3s I assume) and I am in a dilemma if I should back out of root; how difficult would that be; allow the 4.4 upgrade; and then re-root?
Give me your thoughts, advice, emoji and pats on my girlie head.

You now have an s3 LTE, aka sgh-i747?
I recommend getting back to stock and upgrade to 4.4.2 via ota updates. This is the slowest but safest method to install the updated boot loader and modem.
Once you are fully updated, you can flash a custom recovery and root by flashing supersu in recovery. Flashing a custom recovery will trip Knox and set the warranty bit to 1 and this will void your Samsung warranty.

Crap. I am lost. Newb Jr.
First, I have attached the image from About to verify the stats.
Second, can you tell me what your recommendation is to back out of root (having used Odin3 + root66 tar to stock?
I am hoping that once I return to stock, upgrade, I will root again using the same method. Let me know if that all makes sense.

sorry, double post. Don't see how I can delete the one without the quote.

Sorry, I re-read your post. You used to have an LTE s3 (sgh-i747) and now have an T999. I guess I was too tired when I read your post.
I'm not sure that there is anything beyond 4.3 for the T999. The latest for the s3 LTE is 4.4.2.
Even T-Mbile's Note 2 is stuck on 4.3 while other Note 2 carriers have moved to 4.4.2.

My current device is the LTE that replaced the S3 (not LTE). The (HUGE, sorry) image of the About is my current device.

I believe all s3s carried by T-Mobile, AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Videotron, etc. are LTE-capable.
If your phone is the T-mobile version of the s3, I don't think there is a 4.4.2 update or stock ROM for the phone.

My carrier is TMO - there is the S3 T999 (not LTE capable) and there is an S3 T999L (LTE). I updated to Jelly Bean / 4.3, then rooted with Odin (mainly to manage bloatware, pre-installed, etc.) So if I understand you correctly, you do not believe that Kit Kat is even available for the S3 T999L? I checked for a software update through the device and received the message that "since my phone had been altered, the software update will not install." Understand why I would receive that message, however, I made the assumption that 4.4 must be the update. If so, I would back out of root, upgrade to 4.4 - re-root.
If you are saying that 4.4 is NOT available for my phone, then I will keep my device rooted over 4.3

This is the latest firmware for your phone from sammobile.com: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/35794/T999LUVUBNF4_T999LTMBBNF4_TMB/
It was released in June 2014. The mk4 firmware on your phone was released in December 2013.
If you think there is a Kit Kat update, you could use Odin to flash back to stock mk4 firmware and run the OTA updates which should take you to at least NF4 firmware.

Thanks, @audit13!
