Hi,
I just got my Galaxy S III and decided to root it. I had done it before. I made a mistake and it wouldn't reboot, so, I had to put the stock rom on the device again. I found the stock rom, which was a 4.0.4 version and flashed it with no problem. But, then, the automatic update installed the 4.1.1 version. Here is when the problem starts: after installation, when I try to go into the recovery mode to clear the cache, the android is dead with a read triangle above it. I don't know what to do since I want to flash a custom rom.
Oh, a small detail that might be important. The stock rom is flashed using ODIN, but the reboot process is so lengthy, I have to remove the battery and then clear the cache before it fully reboots. At this stage (still 4.0.4) there is no problem with recovery mode and everything is fine. It is only after the update to 4.1.1 that the problem starts.
Your helps are much appreciated.:angel:

So you can esily flash 4.0.4 with no hiccup but then you get the update (kies I assume) and it fails ?
Do you want to be rooted ?
if not just flash the stock 4.1.1 from Sammobile in Odin and update that way to avoid that Kies garbage

Find your carrier and flash one of these in Odin as they are pre-rooted.

Thank you so much for the reply. After purchasing my g3 from AT&T, I used the same link you just sent me to flash the device. But it didn't work even though I changed the USB port. It installs SuperSU, but the recovery fails. I will try it one more time before and report back to you.
thanks again.

It failed again (dead android with a red triangle above it). I have checked the ODIN version, whether the md5 file was downloaded correctly. I'm very frustrated.

So you can't flash anything 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 ? That's odd that only 4.0.4 works. Does it fail with Kies too ?
What about just rooting using CF-auto root or casual and then flashing a rom ?

Okay, so, this method didn't work either. I went back to the link you sent me with the pre-rooted version and flashed it. Now, it has the same problem (dead android with red triangle), but RootChecker says that I'm rooted. I don't know what difference that makes.
Any thoughts?

So cf auto root worked but you can't flash ? You need to install a recovery. Can you flash a custom recovery in Odin or mobile Odin ?

So, I finally figured it out. I used the samsung galaxy s3 toolkit to install the stock firmware and then I updated it on the phone. Next, I went back to the toolkit and installed the most recent version of CWM on it and everything just worked beautifully. I have LiquidSmooth installed and it works just great.
thank you for the help hendik.

Can someone post the stock recovery.img on here? I sorta need it to flash it in Odin. I tried flashing CF-Root with the the root and the stock recovery to use triangle away to reset the counter, but when I do, I can't access the recovery. I think it's sorta soft bricked. I was wondering if someone would be kind and post the stock recovery.img or a flashable stock recovery via Odin preferably.

Gotta Odin To Stock Rom to get Stock recovery
Hit that Thanks Button
Is there any way to get the recovery extracted from the stock rom? The stock rom is over 1 GB. I've rooted the phone to remove the bloatware apps I wanted.

Tell me what exactly your trying to do.
Trying to reset the counter. I've flashed CF Root and reseted the counter already. Then I had to re-root via CF-Root cause I missed Chrome to remove. Now I've removed it and want to reset with Triangle Away but my phone reboots after the Green Android instead of going into recovery. I've flashed ClockwordMod and I can access recovery, but when I flash CF-Root, I can't access the recovery. I need a pure recovery from that rom without all the bloatware system junk.

T-Mobile phone doens't really have a flash counter, the only problem is the "Custom" Status on almost every thing, but here's a link to the thread that can help you with all that. BTW I wouldn't recommend Stock recovery on a custom ROm,
Don't Forget that bottom Left Button?>.
I have the stock rom. It does say custom in the status. That could be the problem. Is there any way I could run the phone as Official status with rooting it and removing the bloatware and then unrooting it?

C'mon buddy, Right above you.
I guess I'm going to have to flash the stock software again. I kinda just wanted to make the ROM stock without some of the bloatware. Just root to remove the bloatware I didn't want, especially Lookout. THANKS for the help though.

Since your phone was running a stock 4.3 ROM, you can't use Odin to install a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM because it doesn't exist. There are leaked ROMs around that you could try flashing.
Alternatively, you could install a custom recovery and install a custom 4.4.2 ROM.

i dont have a custom recovery installed. i have to odin og5.
Can't you flash a custom recovery with Odin? And then install a Rom like cm12.1, sacs or notarized?
When this happened to me, I booted back into the stock recovery, performed a factory reset, and rebooted. It worked fine then.

There is no tar yet. I try and wait before upgrading until there is one. I've heard success from the post above about going to twrp and flashing Sacs rom.
Odin fc just like u were rooting... then recovery ... the flash a rom.. noterized works... sacs rom and cm12
Phone was rooted with a custom rom and custom recovery. I tried to do the OTA update to get the latest version of Android Stock and it failed. I downloaded Odin and tried to flash stock recovery and now its stuck in Download Mode.
I have tried all these roms with no success
https://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710)/Stock ROMs/
I've tried 4-5 different versions of odin as well and everything fails.
If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Holy cow. You cannot OTA update with custom ROM and recovery. Not possible. You need Odin with the whole stock ROM (which is KitKat). Ugh
You would have to flash the entire stock .tar in Odin.... Why? It's KitKat... 4.4.2. no security patches.
Flash TWRP and whatever custom ROM you were on.
No backup? It's difficult to help that

i do have a backup
If I could just get TWRP working I would be all set and minimum be back where I started.
I was able to fix the phone.
I installed Kies3Setup
I ran all the updates and then I uninstalled it.
I downloaded L710VPUDNJ2_L710SPRDNJ2_L710VPUDNJ2_HOME.tar.md5
I successfully loaded it in PDA with Odin3v185
hopefully this helps someone else who's stuck in download mode with a Sprint Galaxy s3
