I tried to use Samsung Knox, at first it was a little odd. But it wouldn't let me log out. No matter what. I put in the right password and it would just send me back to the Knox home screen. I reset my phone to see what would happen. And Knox just keeps opening and opening, not allowing me to do anything. If I let it sit, it just reboots. Making my phone not usable. Wondering if there's a way to stop this?

No, completely stock. Been like that since I got this phone.

In that case, you can try factory Reset from Recovery. If that does not work, then you may have to call T-Mo.
Wish I didn't have to reset since it is stock and all. This shouldn't happen.

Yes true. I knew of this danger. So I steered clear of the OTA. Went for the Rooted Rom instead. If you could get into Download mode, you can try flashing Rooted Version of the same Stock Rom from @Docholiday's Thread.
Please read his instructions completely before doing anything. Never try to flash older version of Stock Rom. You will Hard Brick your phone.

I am risking getting flamed but I find the search rather difficult on my gs2, I attempted to duo the Odin root (haven't completed due to having to do a hard reset) and I had noticed that wifi calling is gone is there any way to get that back? I have also noticed that keis no longer talks to my device it says I need to connect it no mater if I am in debug mode or in normal mode any ideas?

Odin wont root your phone. It installs clockwork mod recovery OR can be used to return your phone to stock configuration.
If you did something to root your phone with Odin, which it wont do, its no wonder you are experiencing problems.

could you have possibly used ODIN to flash a pre rooted 2.3.5 rom?
Are you saying that if you go to settings/Wireless and network you don't see WiFi calling there? it might be there, but just disabled.

Yeah this is wierd, ODIN doesnt even touch the ROM on your phone. All it does is flasha new recovery image.(if you followed the ROOT guide in the dev section). If you did anything with superuser in ODIN then you might have bigger problems than wifi calling...
Actually JessieJames11191981 hit the nail on the head it took me back to 2.3.5 how do I get back to 2.3 6 when over the air says there is no update available and it won't connect to Samsung keis

use this thread to root your phone and install a custom recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103&highlight=super+one+click+root
then just flash a custom or stock 2.3.6 rom and bam wifi calling. If you want to keep some bloat but have an easy way to remove some download and follow the insructions of this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322642 It has a program called bloater where you can pick what bloat programs you want to keep and which to remove

So I was happy to read the Tmo GS3 finally getting JB and even happier when my phone pulled it.
However I cannot get it to install.
I'm full stock ROM. I did root via "debugfs-based Root for Galaxy S III"
The first time it failed I remembered I had programs frozen.
Unfroze them, still failed.
So I uninstalled my SuperUser app and told it to remove root.
Both Root Checker and Titanium Backup show no root access.
Update still fails.
Am I missing a step here? Or am I looking at resetting the phone to update it?
Are you updating via OTA or kies. Kies works after root. OTA not so much

Going through the settings and telling to check (pull) the update.

I take it even though I'm not not rooted it does not matter.

Camera mode right now.
Also tried with debug on and off, but Kies complains when it's off.
So I know it sees it, but does nothing when debug is on.

Ugh, I cant stand kies, personally. Never use it. Imo there is a much better, safer, nore efficient method.
You are rooted so im assuming you want to stay that way correct?
Go to the firmware thread in my sig and towards the top of the op you will see a section called root66.
Download the latest root66 firmware. Extract the file using 7zip, it should be a .tar.md5 file.
You will use Odin to flash this. If you arennt familiar with Odin, go to the 2nd post to download the latest vrrsion, 3.07. Below that you will find instructions for many different methods, find the flash in Odin one and follow the steps.
The root66 firmware is identical to the stock released by T-Mobile, except it comes pre-rooted, so you wont have to worry bout it after!
Good luck whichever way you go!

Op of that thread will tell you to do exactly what I just did a post or so ago. Just sayin that you should update your firmware before flashing custom roms.
Not required, but recommended for running the jb roms. Otherwise you dont get the full update.
Firmware via odin will update 10 partitions, custom roms only 2-3 on average.

Doing that Kies was finally able to see the phone. Can't believe that's all it was.
I did some backup with it, but the update fails there as well.

I un-rooted currently.
Actually just did a factory reset to try and get the update, still fails.
EDIT:
Your way seems to be what I'm looking for.
Stock with root. Really have no interest in 3rd party ROM's unless it's Nexus style vanilla.

Tried with my laptop, still failed.
For whatever reason, stock rooted then unrooted ROM did not want to be updated either way.
Ended up going with the root66 JB option and ODIN.
Honestly was trying to avoid it, but it was really no hassle and the deed has been done.
Now to get back to restoring everything.
Hey guys, im having a bit of an issue. I cant check for software updates because my device has been modified. Is there a fix for this, even after I Flashed the stock tar file, it still gives me this message :/ I have only flashed one ROM on this device, but since I forgot to make a back-up I resort to using Odin when I want to get back to stock. Now I read on another thread that root could be a cause, so I figured, complete restore with with Odin would help, but instead I get the same message.

You need to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
This thread will show you how to.

Yea, you need root to use Triangle Away. After you reset the counter, just flash back to stock.
Hello,
I've been doing the runarounds all day with my Note II. I've been around the block a few times so I'm comfortable using ADB/Odin and the like. I have the pro version of the Note II toolkit.
I'll spare all of the details, but for now I'm able to get a booted ROM, custom or stock recovery. In TWRP, i get a message "E:Unable to mount '/preload'
Is this something I can ignore? Or do I need to get a good Odin & PIT file (I have one) and reflash/repartition my device?
Thanks
Ignore twrp does not have proper mount point for preload. Does not affect anything.

Vanilla stock? Guesding from your title that would be touchwiz 4.1.2 unrooted stock recovery. I use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36388145. After flashing a few wierd things will happen but this is normal. Once it boots up you will have 100% stock mc2 phone just like it was new. Hope it helps.

I just had a bundle of very strange things happen today while flashing the MK4 update from platty. My Play store disappeared, literally poofed, not installed, and that started a long string of "first-timers". I decided to just go back to the beginning instead of trying to fix whatever happened. In the process I softbricked, but I'm up and running again.
Thanks for your help.
For some reason when I try to Odin the newest nf4 firmware, everything seems to go ok but my phone won't come on. Just stays stuck at the tmobile t999l screen. I've flashed the nf4 modem but I wanted to flash the bootloader to go along with it. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it. Thanks.
