Hi everybody. I have a question. so I want to install LORJAY589's update rom. and as he has been very adamant about following his instructions down to the letter. I am having a problem. he said he installed CWM through the galaxy note 2 toolkit. so that's what I wanted to do. but when I went to the thread he mentioned in note 2 original development section. i found that the link is no longer up. I saw other posters on his thread mention work around's to this problem. but again further back in his post. he said do not use other peoples work around's. he said to follow his and only his instructions to get it to work. so my question is does anyone know where I can find the galaxy note 2 toolkit he used. untill I find it I will be unable to install his update rom. thanks in advance for any help on this problem
Google it. It is avaliable on another site besides xda.

No flash it in recovery.... You only need to flash the recovery and the wifi fix thru Odin.. Just make sure you are in download mode (volume down, home button, and power)

I just wanted to say that I was curious if I could simply flash the stock deodexed MK4 4.3 ROM from my existing rooted MC2 TW ROM with TWRP recovery and so I took a chance. I had zero issues. I didn't un root etc. as was instructed . What are the reasons for returning to stock un rooted before flashing MK4? I'm currently on rooted MK4 with no issues doing it the way I mentioned. Yes I'm hard headed lol

Well not "new" but you know. I just recently got my galaxy s3 (love it) and rooted it when i was on ice cream sandwhich. than i found out my carrier rolled out 4.1 (at&t) so updated my phone but then lost my root. Im coming from iphones where with jailbreaks there was a different procedure for each ios. Is it the same for androids?
P.s might've done this in the wrong thread i apologize but i literally just made this account right now to figure this one thing out. I want to go back to custom roms

Yes I can. I rooted using that method and all of my apps and data was intact...with SuperSU added so I can utilize apps that require root. I lost no data whatsoever.
I did not install a recovery though because I am wanting to run the rooted stock ROM for the moment and just did not want to bother with recovery at the moment since it is an extra step (just being lazy). Eventually I will get around to installing a recovery and CM since it has always been a favorite of mine.

No problem. Good luck and fun rooting and flashing.
But see, now this http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html site says to install recovery, then run the root.zip inside of recovery to root.
This is conflicting information, as the how to here at xda says to flash the whole ROM again.

This is one way of rooting. The object behind the original link to XDA was to not flash the trip counter. I only mention XDA because I know this allows you to root JellyBean. Follow the xda verbatim step by step as it has been proven to work for JellyBean. Note that the posting on XDA does not say follow the instructions on the site linked in the quotes, but rather to download and extract the file referenced in question. Then you continue with the procedure as posted on the forum in XDA. Please note the remarks regarding a recovery and JellyBean and the counter being tripped.
There is not always one way to root. Take note that the above link for downloading the file for recovery is older than what has been done on the XDA site. Newer information typically is the safer way to go.

Then I tried the HOWTO on this forum and it worked, no data lost.
Only downside is that my first attempt tripped the flash counter, but I'm really not worried about it. Now to remove the rogers bloat ware...

Glad it worked. The information here on XDA is much more current than the site you were refering to anyway so your chance of success should lean more toward the updated information.

Here, this is probably the most fool proof way since you don't have to enter recovery or anything, just flash over a pre-rooted rom. Instructions in the thread.

before you start flashing any ROMs, make sure you only flash ROMs for the T-Mobile version of the galaxy s3.

Hi everyone
I need a little bit of help, my phone doesn't take OTA upgrades from TMobile after unrooting my phone. The reason why I unrooted my phone is that the LTE signal disappeared on my phone and texting and surfing the internet was impossible. I look around the forums and I didn't found any thread that explain the reason why my phone doesn't want to download any OTA's. I don't know if I missed something or I skep any steps but let me tell you what I did.
To unroot my phone I downloaded Odin 3.09 and Stock ROM 4.3 from sammobile website, I wiped my phone first, after then reboot to bootloader, connect phone to the computer and select the rom. The process took couple minutes to complete. After that I went to updated software and it said "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." . I don't know if missed something or I'm suppose to do something else. Any help would be appreciated.
I just want to said Thank You in advance

After Updating to the newly updated firmware for both Sprint and the Boostmobile/VM variant, I am very sure a lot like me are facing difficulty with any workable method of rooting these new firmware. I spent up to three days searching OPs and cant actually find any guaranteed solution. So I am hoping this thread would help us find all the answers we need at one place. Those who have successfully rooted NJ2/NJ3 should share their method with us.

I saw the guide. Towelroot no longer works , as we all know.
I happen to use Linux as an OS, and the Odin alternatives didn't work for me (it's been a while so my memory of it was a little fuzzy) I didn't just give up after the first try or anything, I've asked question about it before.
I'm wondering if there could be an alternative to Towelroot at this time. Ideally I'd rather not have to rely on some program on my PC. I'm not afraid of the terminal, either.
Yes I also faced several failures before I managed to get my phone rooted. I used chainfire's autoroot for sph710 and it worked so you might want to give it a try

One is a Flashable Zip...not sure if I have used it, but it should work and the other you must unzip and flash using Odin...I know that one works.
I used Chainfire's CF-root method but I also did not care about tripping the flash counter because this is a used phone from eBay and I have no warranty to worry about.
Well I just didn't care about warranty. Anyway it worked for me but I've Knox tripped
