I had my phone rooted before the update, but then I thought I'd try going without root once the update came out. But now I am rooted once again and running the "T999L 4.3 deodexed, Knox Free". But when I try to install cm (I tried 11 and 10.2), I either get the executing updater binary error, status 7 error, and when I removed the asserts, it just aborted installation. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated
Update your Recovery to the latest version.

I did that, tried both CWM and TWRP and it's still aborting the flash. It seems like the only rom it's letting me install is the deodexed 4.3
Actually I had a issue a few days where I accidentally wiped my internal memory and that is why I installed te deodexed 4.3, could that be a reason why nothing is working properly (I'm able to make backups but not restore them and what I mentioned before in my fist post)? Should I install the original 4.3 (with knox and everything) to get my phone on the correct thing and then use the knox remover from the forum before trying again?

Why dont you try this:
S3Rx 3.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763
Its basically the same thing, except its debloated with a few mods..
Just be sure you have the MK4 Modem..
if you have not updated the bootloader (DONT) It will trip your warranty counter..
Just be sure you flashed the MK4 Modem, then flash the 4.3 rom..
Also be sure to Flash the T999L Connectivity patch on top
with the Insecure Kernel.. If you dont flash the Kernel you will lose wifi connectivity..

Do I also flash the MD5 file that's right above the t999l data connectivity patch? On the download link it says t999 so I'm not sure

Yes.. Flash that (Its the ROM), then flash the Connectivity patch (its the T999L patch), then flash the insecure Kernel..

Oops, I somehow missed realizing that that was the rom and was downloading an older version of it that was lower down on the post. I got this rom to work, but I am still unable to install other custom roms. I really liked the CM11 (4.4) rom, but after updating to 4.3 (unrooted), I am unable to install anything but 4.3 roms so it seems. I did update to the latest version of twrp and I also tried cwm, but I'm still getting failure messages, any idea on how to fix that? Thanks for your help so far

To be honest there isnt much difference between 4.4 and 4.3.. other than ART..
I much rather stay on 4.3 because it has App Ops, where 4.4 had it removed..
I much rather have an AOSP rom rather than Touchwiz, but no other ROM i have found that is non Touch Wiz
that has Wifi Calling

True, but I guess my issue is that I can't install any of the CM roms, not even 10.2 which is based on 4.3. I just like CM because of the customization and the rom you linked me to has some of them, but not all. I've already tried unrooting and re-rooting, but that still did not help. Is there a different way you're supposed to root after the 4.3 update? I've always followed the instructions on DocHoliday's T999L/T999N thread and before 4.3, I was able to use twrp to flash t999 roms without removing asserts, but now even removing the asserts, I can't install any custom roms

I have been able to install a couple of CM 10.2 Roms.. Not sure what ones I flashed, because I couldnt connect my phone to my PC via USB..
the phone started to act a bit bazaar.. So I reverted to something I knew..

Different CM 10.2 roms as in stable, rc, nightly? I tried the stable version earlier and still no luck. I'm kind of starting to give up on it because I'm just getting frustrated lol

Im pretty new to this area myself.. I've had a few trial and error issues..
Flashing Nexus devices is far to easy compared to this.. But since they have no Micro SDcard reader..
I'll never own a Nexus phone..
This is the first phone I've rooted, I didn't have problems until after 4.3. But would you happen to know where I can find instructions on how to unroot this device? I was going to try to find an 100% 4.3 stock rom, unroot, and then try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955) to see if it would work and if it didn't, then I'll just leave my phone unrooted. But I can't find any instructions anywhere, the only one's I can find are DocHoliday's but that's to return to stock 4.1.2
Never mind, I figured out

I recommend doing everything from your phone.
1. Install ROM manager and flash latest CMW recovery from inside the app.
2. Download latest nightly CM11 build to your Phone (should come in ZIP format). CM11 is Kitkat (4.4).
3. Boot to recovery, install ZIP from folder where you saved it.
4. Delete data + cache etc.
I think I'll make things more confusing. I recommend you to stay with your current version, because it is the fastest and the most stable version for Galaxy Nexus. I have tried all possible versions on my GN and CM10 is the best option for me.
Anyway, if you are in doubt, you should try all of them and decide yourself.
Good luck.

So a couple of days ago I got a GS3 running the OTA stock 4.3. I wasn't sure if I wanted to use it because I find Touch Wiz kind of clunky. So I decided I would try out Cyanogenmod. I installed it via their new handy installer (as the sprint GS3 is one of the compatible devices). All went well and I got Cyanogenmod 10.2 running smoothly. Now I want to activate the device, but apparently you can't activate a rooted device on sprint. So now i need to get it back to stock 4.3 and I can only seem to find solutions to his problem for devices that have not gotten the 4.3 OTA update and are still running 4.1.2. On the Cyanogenmod installer guide says:
You may perform a full backup from recovery, after flashing recovery (you will have to do this manually, at the moment) and then copy it off the device, if you don't have an external sdcard. If you've already run the installer, you will have to find stock images and flash them using fastboot or Odin.

My problem Is I can't locate any stock 4.3 images with which to try this. If I can get my hands on a stock 4.3 image, would the process be just going into the bootloader and using Odin to flash the 4.3 image?
Can anyone help me out?
You only need to be on a stock tw rom, even if you are rooted it should activate. There are a couple in the development section.

I see, do you know of any any good 4.3 based tw roms? All the ones I'm finding are based on 4.1. Also, do I need to do anything special to flash from Cyanogenmod 10.2 to a touchwiz rom (as Cyanogenmod is AOSP)? I already have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
Nothing special, flash like anything else

[STOCK ROM] Stock 4.3 MK3 ROM [ROOTED/UNROOTED]
I have a VM l710 that came with 4.3. I managed to install ClockworkMod v6.0.4.3 and flashed Slimbean. I had a few issues with Slimbean so I decided that I wanted to go back to stock. But, of course, I forgot to run a back up in CM. I eventually found an OTA update for my phone that was 4.1.2. I installed it and everything works well. Its rooted and I still have CM. I get update notifications every so often but it does not seem to update my phone and now I am stuck at 4.1.2.
Is there a way I can update to 4.3?
Would I be able to find an OTA of 4.3, flash it, and then use knox remover? Or 4.1.2 --> 4.2 --> 4.3 if 4.1 --> 4.3 is too big of a jump?
Sorry if this question has been answered before, I tried google but since I had 4.3 before and now have 4.1.2 I don't want to mess up a bootloader or something.
Thank you
Every custom 4.3 Rom in the development section is Knox free, just flash the one you like.

Thanks. I updated with this ROM.
Everything works well except mobile data. I flashed the recommended modem but it didn't help.
Any recommendations for this?
EDIT: flashed an MK5 modem, everything works now.
DId you update your PRL/Profile? You can also try ##72786# on your dial pad.
Hi there, just registered to post this question regarding loading the Likewise 4.4.2 rom on tmobile galaxy s3. I cannot get it the rom to boot despite coming from android 4.3 and using TWRP. I have tried twice and both times the rom will not boot and I just get a black screen, forcing me to do another restore.
Does anyone have any advice? I will include a screenshot to show my current android version, which is what its supposed to be (4.3.) The only thing I've heard that causes problems with this rom is not being updated to 4.3, or not using TWRP. I don't know what is wrong here.
You need to update your firmware to 4.3. Your current rom has no bearing on this whatsoever.

Okay thanks. I feel like i may have done that already, back when i installed the unnofficial 4.3 software, but since the rom isnt booting maybe not.
On the xda page for the 4.3 firmware it says something about having to be stock/unmodified - is this true or can I flash the 4.3 firmware no matter what ROM I'm using.
Ypu can flash the firmware with odin regardless. You only have to be stock unmodified yo use the ota.
thanks got it working
