[ROM]9/20/12 LI3 Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 3 OTA (Stock/ROOTED/Odex/DeOdex/Firmware!)

This will update your software to LI3.
The update contains firmware updates as well as a Kernel update too.
The update contains a file that will reflash the stock recovery every single time you reboot your phone if the digital signature doesn't match, but I have removed it from this rooted version I'm uploading. I will upload that file separately so that you can get the stock recovery back without worrying about Odin, then from there you should be able to apply the update manually from Sprint's servers and get updated firmware. Keep in mind that if you choose to accept the OTA from Sprint, it will only apply if you have unmodified system files and an unmodified kernel.
You should only do one or the other. If you flash this rooted update, you will no longer receive an update notification from Sprint. So you will need to either revert to a nandroid backup or reflash the stock software in order to update all of the firmware.

Stock Recovery to flash in Odin: (Don't rename it.)
Stock Recovery
If you download the Stock Recovery to flash in Odin, open Odin, press PDA and point to this file. It will flash only the stock recovery, allowing you to accept the OTA and update your firmware. This method will only work if you have a Stock kernel and unmodified system files.

Sweet thanks! Do you know what the update changed or included? Anything good
Sent from my S3

I'm still confused as to which of the two I should do. If I read that correctly it seems that anytime we want to do a firmware update we have to use the stock recovery instead of CWM?

The firmware is, but with HTC phone, if you do an OTA, they 7/10 times have a new, locked hboot, which makes taking an OTA a SERIOUS problem. With unlocked bootloaders [like our GSIII], you basically just need the stock recovery, then re-root.
And the unrooting option available will reset your flash counter.

They'll be cooked into ROMs here too, I was just talking about attempting to install an OTA update via the official method (Settings > Updates). It will download the update and reboot to recovery and install it. If it's not the stock recovery it won't work.

Basically it will happen in 2 ways [overall, not listing full details]:
1- flash the rooted rom with the update > then flash all additional rooted update zips / odin packages
2- unroot > flash stock recovery [resets flash counter] > apply ota > re-root

There's only two ways to update:
1) While using a stock rom, with stock and odexed everything, simply wait for Sprint to push the update to your phone.
2) If deodexed, modified, or on a custom rom, wait for the developers to make flash-able updates.
You can not have root customizations and Sprint pure updates together. Besides, returning to stock from a custom rom to receive Sprint's update? You're usually giving up more than you're gaining. :laugh:

Okay, it's up in the OP!
As for which one you should do? Basically it's like this:
-If you don't care about updated firmware or you want to wait for me (or someone) to make the firmware flashable in Odin, then download and install this one.
-If you want to fully updated, firmware and all, then you should probably download the other file I'm about to add to the OP, which will install the stock recovery, so that you can download the OTA yourself on your phone and it will install.

Now I don't have a problem waiting for you or someone to make the updates flashable, then also I wouldn't mind doing the OTA myself in which case I see that I'll add teh stock recovery which means I can't ever flash anything right? i mean it's not a custom recovery so i'm screwed? I hope i'm making sense here haha

What you would do it flash the stock recovery [needed to take the OTA] > then just flash the cwm recovery and the the root zip.

ahh perfect. and i'm assuming these would be uploaded by the OP sometime soon, and just keep them saved for when they need to get used

I'm dumb. Getting the phone tomorrow. If I take the update from Sprint, can I root and install recovery after? Sorry if some of you are laughing right now.

There's no need to go to degrade yourself when asking a question. And yes, if you take the ota, you'll still be able to flash cwm recovery using odin, then flash the root zip in recovery and be all set.

[Q] Tmobile gn2 brick

Hi I was able to root my tmobile gn2 using a guide which worked perfectly fine. But I wanted to unroot my phone but due to incomplete research and knowledge my phone is now bricked. The guide i followed didn't specifically mention regarding US carriers so I went ahead and tried to unroot with other GT-7100 firmwares available and when I tried to flash with ODIN i kept getting failures and now it is stuck in the "firmware upgrade encountered an issure. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I tried it was just an error with the firmware so i tried another one, but nonetheless it failed and somehow my binary count went up to 3.
I tried going into recovery but it doesn't work, but I am still able to get into the ODIN download screen.
I'm not really sure what to do at this point.
I would really appreciate any help

Did you try the method here?

I actually did look through the thread but I was too afraid to do anything else since I might make my situation worse, but I think I might go ahead and try it.
I just follow the same procedure right? download the zip file and flash it with odin?

Flash CWM Recovery with odin. Once that is done flash rom through the recovery.

No way to rollback into previous version, as no vendor supports downgrading . If u need your old software, just download Original stock firmware (definitely some older version :silly and reflash it with Odin as @Parth2187 mentioned:cyclops:

This is what I did. I had a nand bqckup of my 4.1.2 stock rooted rom.
1. Flashed 4.1.2 stock via Odin.
2. Root3d and flashed CWM recovery.
3. Once in recovery rolled back my original nand.
Please note if u end up in a boot loop. Make aure u go to stock recovery and do data/factory reset and wipe cache and u r good to go.
Hope helps. Worked foe me.

If you root your phone, you won't be able to receive OTA updates and it will void your warranty. If you unroot you can get the OTA updates.

I don't think a factory reset can unroot a device. I am not pretty sure about this, if u are successful in that, its okay. But factory reset just formats the internal SD card. It wont do anything with /Root directory. When you are rooting a phone, we flash SU to the /root directory.. Then how come a factory reset can unroot a device. Probably impossible! Correct me if i am wrong

Use the old Xposed Installer v2.6.1 with TW 4.4.4, and you can directly install the xposed framework within the app.

Just a heads-up for anyone having trouble flashing any of these. I tried several times and re-downloaded the modem and the full firmware. They failed multiple times in multiple versions of odin(for me). I gave up on the modem but kept working on the full and it finally took but I was stuck at t-mo boot screen more than once and it wouldn't fully boot. Finally I flashed the newest twrp before taking any other measures and it finally booted.

In case it gets stuck at T-Mobile boot screen after successful firmware flash, just hold the power button till your device turns off,
Then go into stock recovery by using power+home+volume up button and do a factory reset.
It should boot fine.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to list that I did that also. For me at least this S4 was very stubborn to take on this flash. I was mostly posting so if anyone else ran into this so they wouldn't panic. All is well now though. It came around eventually.:good:

I searched this out because I'm looking for a Stagefright fix for the S4 (my wife's phone). It looks like the other ROMs were last updated prior to Stagefright, so I expect they are not fixed. However, I'm OK with stock as long as it is rooted.
Are there any issues with rooting? I read in this article that T-Mobile put a SetUID restriction on the kernel and the normal process for TWRP and SuperSU doesn't work.
The author was writing about the UVUAMDL firmware, and offers a link to download a patched MDL kernel with the restriction removed.
Since this thread is about the UVUFOK3 (a later version), it seems likely that the SetUID restriction still exists. However the article also says "MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON UVUAMDL build OTHERWISE THIS KERNEL WILL BREAK THINGS IN YOUR PHONE!" So does that mean "UVUAMDL only - nothing newer or later" or "UVUAMDL or later"? No way to know since the article has not been updated since UVUAMDL.
Has any one successfully rooted the S4 after installing this firmware? (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB)
Is the kernel provided in M919UVUFOK3_Stock_Kernel.zip already "fixed" to remove the root restriction?

I don't know about the restriction you talking about but I have successfully flashed a custom ROM on latest OK3 firmware.

Nothing is modified as it is a stock package, stock kernel is only required if you flash some custom kernel and wanted to go back to stock by just installing the kernel instead of full ODIN.
This is what I always use to root:
1) Install latest TWRP via ODIN
2) Boot into recovery
3) Flash latest SuperSU zip using TWRP.

So it should be a fairly straightforward process? The issues technut experienced are unusual? Has anyone else installed and rooted using this ROM? Please report on how it went.

a103, when you say "flashed a custom ROM", do you mean a different ROM than the one in the OP of this thread? (since this one isn't really custom) If a different ROM, which did you flash? I didn't find many options that contained the OK3 firmware.

The phone currently is running Wicked V8 custom ROM, so I think I need to flash everything. What are the steps for updating all three; firmware, kernel, and modem? Is there a particular order to flash them in Odin?
I read in another place that the firmware contains the Modem so I wouldn't need to flash the modem in addition to the full firmware (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB.zip). Is that true in this case? Does it include both modem and kernel?
Edit - After searching out how to open tar.md5 files I can now see that the full firmware does include the kernel and modem files. So installing that one should sufficient to update everything.

Just flash the firmware, it has the kernel and modem in it.

a103, did you have any of the problems reported by technut above? Was it a smooth process of flashing?
Here's what I think has been said:
0) Before starting - copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, Titanium Backup APK, and Titanium Backup data onto ExtSD card.
1) start phone into download mode, Use ODIN to flash M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_M919UVUFOK3_HOME.tar.md5
2) restart into stock, let it stabilize.
If any problems or stuck on Tmo screen, restart into stock recovery and do factory reset
3) once booted into stock FW, power off.
4) restart into download mode, use Odin to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jfltetmo.tar
5) boot into TWRP
6) install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
7) reboot into Android - phone is now rooted again and ready to go.
8) restore user apps (not system apps or data) from TiBu, restore TiBu XML data for SMS and call logs, etc.

It has begun!

I have been checking the wifes phone every morning for the last month. Looks like the Marshmallow update is about 1.3 gigs. I have no idea if it will be bug free, but I imagine it will be stable. Now, for those reading this, that are confused and on a stock ROM, go to settings, about device, and then software update.

It's working great so far..

Yes, both our S6 edge plus and the Note 5 received Marshmallow today from T-Mobile!!

I don't think I will take the update until I know we can still root and a custom recovery.

No need to bother with kernels it's not needed to ROOT MM 6.0!!!
1: odin flash twrp-3.0.2-0-zeroltetmo.img.tar, flash this after doing
the OTA Tmobile update of the mm 6.0 .
2: then in twrp recovery flash this supersu-v2.71-systemmode.zip.
If you do do it right, you will have no rooting issues.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Thanks MrJ, that is what I was hoping. I just wanted to be sure they didnt lock us out. I had that happen with AT&T with one of their updates!

You are going to need to Odin the T-mobile stock firmware, which you can find on MinisterJunky's post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...rmware-g928t-complete-untouched-boh6-t3198387
After that, you just need to run software update from the settings and you should be good to go. I would highly recommend doing a factory reset after you ODIN the stock 5.1 firmware before updating to 6.01.

Need help...I odined back to 5.1.1 and factory reset after....Then updated MM of phone...Then made Sure OEM unlocked, rebooted into download and odin flashed TWRP 3.0.2 and it say PASS and when i reboot into recovery it reboots into stock recovery!!! I have tried a few times in odin and does the same thing, i reboot into stock recovery everytime

So for some reason I am having the same problem trying to get this rooted.
I have made sure the OEM unock is enabled in develper settings
I boot into download mode, and I uncheck reset in options
I ODIN flash twrp-3.0.2-0-zeroltetmo.img.tar
I power off the phone, then I try to boot into recovery, the phone will show recovery is not enforcing (or whatever it says in red), then the screen just turns black.
Then I will reboot the phone again and it will remove the custom recovery.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

finally we got him.marshmallow update on s6 edge+ t mobile.now for customs rom?

Probably, it is better to wait for stock firmware and do it through the Odin. Ehh..

To anyone having probs. rooting the new DPD1 Marshmallow update, follow the guide HERE. Looks like dirtybudha has compiled everything in one post. Hit the thanks buttons!!!!!! It works perfect for both devices.
