[Q] 4.1.2 Lost Root Odin fails!

Hey guys I hope this isn't a noob question I watched the video and read the forum rules but a forum search comes up empty, something about adblock but I'm not running adblock!
Anyways I have an international unlocked samsung galaxy note II n7100, the non 4g version.
I used Odin to root the device and went on with my life enjoying root. Then I made the mistake of updating from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 while still rooted and it removed my root.
I've gone through so many links and forums here and elsewhere for three hours now, ran at least three separate versions of Odin. Most of them failed at the connection attempt, so a driver reinstall and restart of the samsung kies stuff fixed the connection problem.
After that I ran Odin with CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar and it said Restart ok and turned green but Clockworkmod recovery and supersu tell me root fails.
I'm really not sure what to do next here should I full wipe and start over? The data isn't super important to me so much as I need my external card flipped to internal so I don't have to deal with this tiny 10 GB useable space internal flash...
Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Full wipe cant hurt

Did a full wipe and restored factory...then ran Odin and it finally rooted it back! Now however the app external 2 internal isn't working right so all of my backed up apps aren't showing up in carbon...er...Helium.
Thanks for help with the root and odin.
Edit
Sorted out the sd card issue as well. Thanks for the assistance in returning my phone back to life.

That was all u man

[Q] Reboots, crashing and warranty

So my issue is similar to the one of Spectre Nine here.
I have bought a N7100 in January 2013. Until about July it ran absolutely fine, but then it started freezing and rebooting at random.
Here is the data:
Model: GT-N7100
Android: 4.1.2
Baseband: N7100XXDLK7
Build: JZO54K.N7100XXDMB2
Country of origin: Austria
I am running a stock rom which was updated using Kies, afterwards root was installed using CF-Autoroot.
I have never used Odin or other flashing software, and I am also on stock recovery on this device.
TriangleAway has been used due to CF-Autoroot increasing the flash counter.
I have already ruled out the SIM and MicroSD cards, as it happens without them as well.
I noticed that there might have been some data corruption, as my SwiftKey dictionary got wiped for some reason.
Unfortunately, I have found no tools or ways to check the internal SD for errors as opposed to the external ones.
My questions are as follows:
1. Are there any tools or methods for checking the internal storage for file system errors?
2. Any ideas as to what could be causing this issue?
3. If I have to send the device in for repairs, is it enough to just remove the root (confirm device normal status) and do a factory reset?
Thank you very much for any leads or replies at all.
PS: I am trying to record a logcat to find out what happens before the reboot, will also attach it,

well flashing via kies must have created the issue, rather flash a stock rom via odin adn it wil be fine no need to send it for repairs follow ketan guide here in xda on the procedure to follow flashing rom using odin and everything will be fine.
so i definitely suspect kies for your problem

The Kies update happened in february, and the phone has been running fine until july.
If I use Odin, will Samsung be able to detect it in case I send it in?

nope your device status must be normal now and binary count 0 so you good to give it now no need to flash anything via odin just unrootand check your system status

A follow-up here.
The issue suddenly disappeared about 3 weeks after my initial post.
I am baffled as to what could have caused this.
Occasionally, it still happens about once in two weeks.
I still couldn't find any tools to check the internal storage.
When 4.3 is out (probably soon for my provider), would a full wipe get rid of possible errors on the internal sd?

[Q] CWM recovery Incomplete phone restarts

Hello all, my First post so please bear with me, Been using these forums for quite a while and all answers have been allready given, so no need to post... till now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 i747 running android 4.1.2 OTA update and used CF-Autoroot. No problems there,
installed Rom manager, and cwm recovery touch. no problem
When I restart in recovery mode, also everything seems fine...
When I try to backup the phone however using cwm recovery it starts backing up everything including system but the just as it starts data the phone restarts.
Tried reinstalling cwm over and over different versions.. nada same result..
went into the settings to mount the various options as suggested to another user. same problem nada...
To be completely clear, I am trying to make a backup of my stock / rooted only Galaxy s3 i747 onto it's own storage NOT SDcard.
as I also could not figure that out either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Erdericks1976
Sorry about misleading Subject. This is about making my first backup successfully..

Followup.
Well seems there are/were more problems here than I thought, it has begun randomly? restarting,..
Well. not Ramdomly. Whem specific apps are run it would restart.
I did a titanium backup and it would backup alot of the apps. but them would restart the phone when it got to 1 specific app.
I think I figured out what I did wrong here.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, and I may have flashed something from it by mistake......
so I have restarted my Gs3 From scratch Re-Following all instructions.. waiting to test and see if CWM works to back it up now..
It sure was faster with the Note2 rooted Kernel though. (if that was in fact what happend)
I'll update soon as its done..

Followup 2
Yep. that musta been it. Used the correct stock (rooted) Rom
OTA updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, then used CF auto root to Re-root, then reinstalled SU and CWM and Backing up now.
Just passed the Data section the phone would always restart at...

good for you, yu got it solved fast and easier than expected, XDA is your place for Android and root but also every kind of OS there is
anywz am not that old in XDA i joined in April and officially started rooting and modifying my phone since May and it has been great, bricked my phone 1st time but all in all i got the S3 in case for the loss. yu'll get used to this place and ROOT/custom roms

[Q] No ROMs taking, keep getting no MD5 message, phone close to bricked.

I apologize in advance if any of this makes you roll your eyes at my stupidity.
Good Afternoon
I have an ATT samsung galaxy s3, Because of the glitches with 4.3 I was experiencing I decided to install custom software on my phone. So I looked up guides and got everything I needed. I did manage to get root access, and verified with super user. I also installed TWRP and CWM because each kept giving me errors when I tried to install CM 11 onto my phone. I tried CWM first, and when that didn't work I tried TWRP. It says there was no MD5 information found when I try to install any mod. how ever I have used the md5 file checker program and the MD5 matches up to what was listed in this one for example.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2518998
Download:
CM 11.0 Unofficial Beta 7 for d2tmo and d2att
MD5: ef93957db1e6704f23f9015231a82826
So the MD5 matches, yet when I try to install it keeps giving me errors. I also tried other versions of CM that I found on here via links. Right now my phone has no OS as another guide I read some where also said to wipe system data (sorry if that was stupid, I was just following a guideline) And even more stupid, no I don't have a backup because in my naivety and stupidity I didn't think I'd need one as it seemed so simple from all the guides and videos I'd seen.
Yesterday a friend of mine knowledgeable with tech stuff took one of the original stock Image ROMs I'd downloaded and using linux and some program he managed to do some crazy stuff I can't even describe on here. All I saw was a lot of typing of command lines and it got my phone working again, how ever it wasn't exactly the stock image I guess because the phone would not make or receive calls/texts.
Since my phone was powering on again and the android OS was loading I figured I could connect it to my computer and use KIES to download the official latest update so my phone would be back on the legit software. But trying to do that...well broke my phone again. So I'm at a loss now of what to do. Right now I can still get to download mode on my phone, but when I try to get into recovery mode I get an error that "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES & try again." Which I've tried, and every time I try it gives me an error message.So I'm at a loss of what to do next.
So I'd like to get a working OS on my phone asap so I can get calls and texts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And being new I'm sorry if I broke any taboos or did not give some information that is typically given when describing a problem.

First of all thank you for trying to help me, I hope you are having a good Thanks Giving.
I used the thread you linked to, and downloaded the version with out knox. I followed the instructions
transferred ROM and flashed kernel file to SD card
used odin to flash TWRP,
used twrp to flash rom and kernel file.
and it takes the file thankfully, there's only one issue. My phone can't make or receive calls/texts. Is yours able to?

I messed up and was playing with things That I had no business playing with and decided that I should do a restore of a backup (TWRP) I made as soon as I rooted the 4.3 OTA. well it has soft bricked my phone. it was a TWRP 4.3 Nandroid and has me messed up a little.
so far I tried My nandroid (no dice now a soft brick) cleared cache and dalvik, It was booting as far as the white at&t spinning thing,
Factory reset same on booting,
Tried a format of the internal sd this is where it gets sketchy it now goes as far as the second samsung screen(the one that says Samsung GALAXY S III)
4.3 OTA .zip (no dice TWRP wont flash it) same on the booting 2nd samsung boot screen
Tried the files in the link above and got a Hard brick
Used the debricking .IMG file and got TWRP and download mode back
Any suggestions?
Looks like I might need a JTAG/RIFF BOX for this one. If nothing else I spent many Hours of darkness discovering the darkness of android 4.3
If I get recovered from this and with a different rom like 4.1.2 I will be happy. the 4.3 OTA was very stable but I did miss wifi tether and the whole hardbrick thing was kind of a bummer. it would be real nice to have an ODIN file to fix this (AHEM samsung) or atleast perhaps stopped the progression of it to a hard brick.
New update
I got my phone booting up again however there is a catch. That unbrick.img file on my 16GB sd card is still required to boot the phone and I have no cell service what so ever. Tried to check apn settings because at home I sometimes get poor service and I run net10 so I was going to fix my apn and it says insert sim??? the sim is properly inserted???
Next Update
the bootloader I flashed apparently flashed to the external sd card? I flashed another one and it is booting from the internal sd. I had to flash a different modem the one in the bootloader/modem file I flashed from the link above didnt take? I got most everything sorted out, but im getting tired, it has been an all night adventure. its 08:23 est now
sorry for the delay in updating this I had to get some rest.

Go into Settings, About Phone, Status and check to see if your IMEI and Serial Number are present. If you only lost your IMEI there's a guide on how to inject it back (I'm not sure where the guide is). However if you've lost your serial number and don't have a Nandroid that can restore it I don't know what to do.

I updated my post above and showed my soultion. I simply had to flash a new modem and almost everything was kosher. I also had to flasah a different kernel but that was for preference not because things werent working.

I used that modem, flash it and see if your problems go away. I use Net10 so after I flashed the Modem I had to create an APN aswell, but that is nothing new for me.

It should be, I'm working right now so I don't have time to fine the guide on how to inject your IMEI. If I remember correctly it involves using QPST. If you have an old (or any) working Nandroid backup that should fix the problem.
FYI, make sure you don't use the guide for the international S3 as it has different hardware and folder structure/contents.
As for the APN, it should automatically fill itself in since it reads it off the SIM Card (I might be wrong).

So I guess the next question, do I try again to install kit kat on my phone.
I've already made bucks of my existing working phone haha....but I'd still like to have kitkat in place. I believe the issue of my phone not reading MD5 confirmations would still be in place, does anyone know how to remedy that situation?
At the same time I'm more than happy to leave my phone as is.

Pretty sure you can turn off MD5 checks in TWRP. Probably in CWM too. Sorry if this has been mentioned. Didn't have time to read the whole thread. Just skimmed through.
2nd, there is a major difference between an IMEI that reads 0 and an IMEI that shows unknown. If it shows an unknown simply reflash your ROM and modem and you will be good to go. Sometimes a reboot is all you need. If your IMEI is showing a 0 on the other hand its gone and will require that it be injected back in which is a messy situation that usually results in tour phone being stuck on EDGE.
3rd, as someone mentioned on the previous page, restoring a working nandroid will NOT reinject your IMEI if it shows up as 0. No amount of flashing anything will get it to come back. Not even stock. It needs to be reinjected manually.

do you know of a good stable kit kat like ROM I could use for the s3? And any speculation as to why the ROMs werent taking for me?

[Q] Phone restoration question

So recently I had a Galaxy S3 whose charger port failed and I could no longer use the phone. So I had a replacement sent to me via my phone insurance company.
I stuck with TouchWiz for a few days since the phone was new, and everything worked just fine, camera, snapchat, chrome, you name it. I attempted to use the CMInstaller to remove Touchwiz and go to CM. However, during the installation process, everything appeared to be going smoothly, then the android with its chest open with the red triangle popped up briefly and the phone asked me to choose to root the phone. I hit yes, and the phone rebooted, at first with the CM logo, then it proceeded to boot into TouchWiz, with no sign of Cyanogen.
I did some research and found that this is because the replacement phone has Knox on it, preventing tampering. While I'm fine with TouchWiz for now until I can get a new phone in November, my phone has been acting a bit strange.
I can't download pictures from anywhere, whether its Chrome or Facebook or Twitter (where profile pictures won't even load). In Snapchat, I can only view pictures sent to me, but I can't view videos, I can't send pics or videos, and I can't load stories. Instagram closes when a video post pops up in my feed, but photos are fine. The Spider-Man game that I downloaded from the Play Store won't download the additional file that's needed to even start the game. My camera tells me to insert an SD card before using the camera, even though there is an SD card in the phone that I store music on for Poweramp (which works fine).
Other than these instances, the phone works fine. I'd just like to be able to use the apps I want. I did a factory reset from the settings menu to wipe stuff off the phone and see if that would get these apps to function correctly with no success.
Device info:
Model: SGH-I747
Android 4.4.2
Baseband: I747UCUFNE4
Kernel: 3.4.0-1514807
Build: KOT49H.I747UCUFNE4
I checked with Kies to see what it would do with the Firmware upgrade and initialization, since that was what the guide on here said to do. It's saying it will initialize my phone to 4.1.1 Baseband I747UCDDLK3, but downgrading will brick my phone, if I'm not mistaken.
So I don't know what to do now.
So my question is this: Can/Should I use Kies to attempt to restore my phone or did I permanently bork the hardware?

Try flashing the stock NE4 rom from enewman17s thread in development section. If im not mistaken it will have tge fix for external sd and the insecure kernel should solve the internal sd issues.
This is due to seLinux primarily, not knox. So its something we will have to deal with on every device running stock from now on. The alternative I believe is to format the card and factory reset. If you start everything fresh it should work ok when full stock.

The problem I'm having with that idea is that I'm not sure I have root access, so I don't think I can flash a rom. If I can boot into recovery, I'll give it a try, but I'm not positive if it'll work.
Thanks for the tip!

You dont need to be rooted. Just need custom recovery.

Hi again,
I tried formatting and factory resetting. So I'm going to try the NE4 ROM, but I can't seem to find it. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction? Thanks for all your help!

This thread may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917

Okay, so I flashed that ROM from enewman's thread and it said it flashed successfully.
After it flashed, I went to do all three wipe options, and it rebooted in the middle of doing so. My phone rebooted normally into TouchWiz, and nothing was wiped and all my apps were still present.
I'm still having the same persistent problems as before. I think attempting another wipe may help, but I figured I'd check in with progress and see if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks again.

Boot back into recovery and instead of factory resetting, choose Format /data.
This will wipe your internal sd card, just so you know. If that doesn't help, go back to the thread audit13 linked, reflash the rom, then the stock recovery. Reboot recovery and factory reset again. Then reboot and test. Pretty sure choosing format /data will be enough though.
