Removing CWM Recovery off stock device

Hi. I was wondering how I would go about removing CWM Recovery off my stock s3.
My computer isn't that good and I want to remove it so I can do the jb update. It keeps saying the file signature failed and wont install and I thought if maybe I got rid of CWM it would let me update.
All help is appreciated.

Same issue here. I have CWM Recovery and the device is rooted. Doesn't seem to like the OTA for Jelly Bean.

My device isn't rooted tho. That's why I wanna get rid of it. If I was rooted I'd flash jb. I couldn't get rooted. My computer screen wasn't big enough to click ok in Odin. And when I finally did It rebooted but said it couldn't finish the root.

Update:
Flashed stock recovery. Went to do update and the update got to 24% and rebooted. Pop-up said it failed and to use kies.
Ill try again later and see if maybe a new update cache would fix it.

I used the SnapDragon tools to restore to stock recovery. Worked like a charm.

Unroot to get Multiwindow update?

Hey Guys,
Just heard that the update is coming to canada on Wednesday. Will I need to unroot my note 2 for the update to work? Can I use CF method to re root again once the update has completed?

As long as you have stock recovery you are good. However after the update you may loose root, and your device status may say modified unless you factory reset.

MiataROM 4.3

THIS IS A TEST ROM​
This rom is just a test for the i317 using the leaked 4.3 files from the n7100 including all the Note 3 features...
I'm not sure if this will even boot on your phone but I no longer have a Note 2 to test it out.
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR PHONE BEFORE CONTINUING!!!
1. Download ROM - Torrent
2. Copy zip to sd card
3. COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR PHONE (important step)
4. Flash zip with cwm
5. Reboot and hopefully enjoy 4.3 with all Note 3 features!

Sorry. Wiped x 3 just to be sure. Twrp flashed. Boots to Galaxy screen then goes to black and vibrates 2 times every 7 seconds. Any other method you want me to try?
Thanks for the file. Maybe one of the other dev want to look this over?

Update:
I was able to dirty flash over SkyNote 4.3. Boots but doesn't work well with blue tooth. wiped and FC bluetooth and cleared data but still FC and won't turn on. wifi and data still worked.
SO it is somewhat comparable, must need a boot loader to install cleanly on i317.

Oh! so close........maybe sean can take a look at this?

thanks for the file sharing,
but will n7100 kernel work in n7105?
and any issue for knox?
can be downgraded?
will try

Why dont you just try using the leaked ATT image as a base instead?

Wifi Tether

Okay before anyone jumps me, I have searching for weeks on this. I tried various provision files and all have gave me the force close in settings. I tried that Trev E mod wifi tether app also. I can not get this thing to tether now. It worked fine when I was on ATT with a family plan, now I am using a NET10 plan. Phone is running 4.3. Is there no tethering hack anymore?

I'm using Skynote AIR and tethering is working for me no problem.
Not sure what Rom you on, or if your completely stock??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

If you are on stock I have something that will work. I'll try and have something that can be CWM flashed tonight.

Try this
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407576267
I'm running Stock MK6 4.3 on ATT. Worked fine for me.
All it is doing is replacing the TetheringProvision.apk under /system/app.
If you don't want to flash the file above, download apk from here.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407566502
You will then need to manually put it into /system/app and change permissions.

So anyone try these yet ??

Thanks, I'm gonna test right now. I am on the rooted stock 4.3 rom posted on here in December.

If I manually do it, I will still need adb to change permissions, right?

Yes. But the CWM flash works fine also. I know for a fact this apk works. Been using it for months.
Was just curious if someone had tried the flash. You can download, unzip it and go to the updater-script and check out what it does.

I can't get the permissions to change. I will try to flash it but I have twrp recovery right now. How would I go about flashing it with cwm? If I put the zip on my sd card and go into cwm recovery, just select install from zip file option?

Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Alright, I flashed it with TWRP and it was successful. I booted up my phone and got a message saying that teatherprovision tried to access a secured area and wad blocked. My phone the tried to update the security policy. I then tried to turn tethering on get an error saying unfortunately tether provision has stopped. The phone then said gave me the same nessage about being blocked from accessing a secure area without authorization. So it did not work. Do you happen to have the stock tetheringprovision file or any other ideas? Maybe the permissions arent right but I'm at work and not sure of the commands off the top of my head if I can even change them on the phone.

Are you rooted ?? Sorry I didn't ask first. And do you want to be? If you run the latest version it will turn off Knox.
You are definitely running 4.3 because Knox came up and said whatta doing dude?
Have you ever done anything to your phone?
Did you rename the original or just replace?
If so, I'm working on posting the oriignals
Permission should be rw r r or chmod 644

Original files for Tethering.

I do not have knox. Im using the rooted 4.3 stock rom with the hacked bootloader mj4 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891. So maybe the permissions weren't set right when flashing?

If you go to the web site on your first screen shot
www.samsung.com/us/secureandroid
That reeks of Knox.
And security policy messages/warnings are Knox related.
Go to Settings, find About Phone.
Near the bottom of About Phone ..... What does SELinux status say? Or is there one?
**********************
The ROM you are on is the first one I ever tested the file on.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think I got it. So you are rooted. Go to apps, open SuperSU. it should prompt you to update. After it does it should ask you to disable Knox.

Ok I went into SuperSU and it asked me to disable knox like you said. After doing that and rebooting, it still says Enforcing under SE for Android. I don't understand the disable know prompt though. I was under the impression that there was no way to disable know so thats why I had to flash the hacked mj4 bootloader. Can you clear this up for me? I am going to try to flash the tetherprovisions again since I am still the error when trying to turn the hotspot on.
