[Q] what files are right to flash?

so i have been working on my friends phone for a while now and cant get anything to flash to it.after an ota update it bricked.i tried to redo his phone because he did not have insurance and it wasnt under warranty.but i tried everything on here and i get nothing odin says no pit partition sometimes so i tried finding a fix for that.but after reading on here yesterday im wondering if im flashing the wrong sprint s3 files.are the files the same for the android it came with and the ota it got 2weeks ago? im guessing it was 4.2 and the ota was 4.3 since thats what was rolling out to the phones

Have you read THIS thread about Knox?

yes i can get to dl mode at first when i got it that was all i can do then i flashed files with oden and it went away i guess it soft bricked it but i built a jig and it was now without the jig.... just wondering if i need to use mk3 files not md4

If mk3 OTA was accepted Knox will not allow any previous versions to install... as I understand it

Did this phone have custom recovery or stock before he took the OTA?
EDIT: nevermind, it doesn't matter.

no it was stock unrooted.

[Q] Completely stuck on sgh-t999v (wind) root job...ughhh

Hey all,
So I've checked as much as I could to try and help myself before posting, so hoping some kinds souls can help out with my issue.
Got a samsung galaxy s3 SGH-T999V on Wind Mobile (Canada), android 4.3. My aim is to root the phone, then play with some roms later on, but at least get the rooting part done. I started with this hxxp://theunlockr.com/2012/07/23/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999v-canadian-version guide, but the CMW didn't get installed when I went into recovery mode, just had the stock phone recovery options.
So then, went on to try pretty much the exact same procedure but with the root66_GLW_T999VVLALH2.7z..but Odin gave me the failed sbl2 error or something like that. Now i didn't have anything to backup so I didn't really care wiping the phone to factory default so I did so ( as well as the cache partition using the default android recovery menu.) But even still, no luck. When I tried again, it (Odin that is) just seemed to hang at the phase that stated "get PIT" or something like that (apologies I'm pulling this all from memory).. Had no real choice but to interrupt it restart, try again, back to the sbl2 error again. Doing this from a Win7x64 Ultimate OS (if that's relevant). I HATE the phone the way it is, I cannot stand the bloatware and I have a lot in mind to have fun with if I can ever get this bloody thing to root.
I think that's about all I can mention atm, did the usual stuff like try different usb ports, the phones USB cable 'seems' to be ok and working, I'm just beyond frustrated and finally at the part where I need to ask for help. Any and all help is deeply appreciated. Cheers

i also want help rooting my T999v version 4.1.2 cant seem to find a tutorial for rooting of version 4.1.2

If you're on 4.3 stock you'll have to deal with this new thing they added called "Knox". Also you cannot downgrade to older versions of official firmware if you have updated to 4.3 stock. Root66 won't work for you unless there's a version of root66 firmware that is 4.3 (which there isn't). Here's a thread that should solve this problem for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955

Since you haven't updated to 4.3 yet, you don't have to deal with Knox, so use the root66 method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

Well then that's the Device you have. Anything said in Settings > Model is suspect. If I modify ro.device in Build.prop then My Galaxy S3 will appear instantly as S4 or Nexus 5. That does not mean it is one.
You always go by what's under the Battery and not by Settings > Model.

[Q] Phone not booting after 4.3 root help please!!!

I recently got the OTA 4.3 update and accepted it, but i felt the need to root it which i but after the rooting process was finished i booted my phone and instantly got a message saying superuser has stopped working. So i kinda panicked and decided to flash the stock MD4 rom and once it finished i tried to reboot the device but didnt get a response from it. I then pulled the battery out and tried to boot into recovery but still nothing not even a vibrate...Im most likely thinking its bricked but just to be sure im asking for your help. Thanks.

You hard-bricked it. When you update to MK3/4.3 via the OTA, you update the bootloader, which adds KNOX which prevents (by bricking) downgrading to anything lower than 4.3 versions. Good luck my friend.

Yea i figured i did lol. You think my bestbuy total device protection will take care of it? Also thanks for the clarification.

I could say go in and play dumb, because they won't be able to get it to boot under normal circumstances. I also could say be honest and see if it's covered. Your judgement call. Glad to have helped.

By chance can you get it into download mode?
GS4 Stock Rooted MJA 4.3,Philz Touch CWM,HotSpot Mod,Transparent Weather Widget...

Nope nothing like I said the phone didn't vibrate when trying to boot it up
Sent from my LG-LS855 using Tapatalk 2

If you can return it to Best Buy as defective or DOA and have them replace it on the spot, do it. I doubt they've got the gear to check out the software/firmware status if it doesn't power up. However, if you are forced to go through Samsung directly then you may or may not be SOL. Good luck amigo.

Call Samsung and tell them you tried to root and bricked it. They won't care. they will reflash it for free. They will email you a return label and all.
I know this because I just bricked mine yesterday too....

[Q] Multiple Q's, Need HELP!!

Hi guys!
This is my very first post here, on the XDA-Dev forum. So I'll try to be as quick as possible with my questions!
I own the Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) unlocked international GSM version from like december 12', almost from launch i may say. Since then I've used the stock 4.1.2 official rom w/ root and just updated to official 4.3 just last week (bad decision to make, I know). Now, under "About device" it says: Baseband: UEMJ9 and Build: UEMK9. I must say that I never realy used the multi window feature, I find it to be useless for me. Some other things I never used: touch wiz launcher (NovaLauncher instead) and I think smart stay too(just puted it on 10 min). Now the one that I've used: SPlanner (I find it a very good calender but the 4.1.2 version, 4.3 version it's crapy), Catch app, SNote, Camera, FMRadion (when travel) and basically these apps.
Now, my questions are:
1. How to root my device, considering that I have 4.3 official update with Basesband: UEMJ9 and Build: UEMK9?!
2. How can I manually save SPlanner, Catch, SNote, FM Radio, TouchWiz Camera apks + their data and export them to another ROM if I like to do so in near feature?
3. How can I try custom ROMs on my device? Like DNito3, CM11?
Hope some of you guys will be well intended to help me out! I know that my Q's could have been asked here but I think if is someone else in my situation too, this will be gold and easy for them too, cuz all the Q's are in one place. I will very appreciate your help!

I've tried CM Installer and failed. Then something with policy violated showed up on screen. I think it has something to do with the knox security. CM guides me to manually install the ROM. Don't know what to do, cuz I don't realy want to brick the device.

So... I figured it out how to root it, done it! Now when I try to open Titanium Backup, I get ERROR and it's saying: "Sorry, I could not acquire root privilages. This app will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again. This attemp was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command". Does anyone have any ideea how can I make titanium work? And also, now I have counter set on 5, will I be able to reset it to 0 if I want to send the device to warranty?

How u root? If u say u root it alrd and success. . It might be supersu problem (halfway rooted). Goto playstore nd update the supersu, after that open nd update its binary, nd reboot.

If u like custom rom with new bootloader, u can try DN3.
With new bootloader u can use dn3 with stock kernel without wifi problem.

@antique_sonic I've tried to do that, and stixked in boot loop. Then I boot into CWM recovery and did a wipe factory reset, but without any luck. I went online and downloaded the DN3 v3.1 and installed it succesfully. Now I'm up and running rooted and all that good stuff! Now, what if I want to reset the binary counter, is it possible? Thank you!

I m not sure if ta support 4.3.
U can go and see from his thread.
But for me... I don't care the binary counter until I want to sell the phone.
But if I m not wrong u have to do it under stock rom nd kernel, then after reset u can unroot (if u want to sell back ur phone to provider)

Yes! I can't agree more. I don't care either about the warranty, but just to know in case I will sell it, or who knows, maybe I have to send it to warranty. I will do my research next time and I will post here what I'll find, to let other know too. Thx again for your support!

Depending on the version of Android you have on that phone, it will trip the Knox flag. Which won't affect the performance of the phone, but will indicate you messed with your phone. There may be other rooting methods that work, but this one worked for me.
BTW, I found that method by using Search on this forum and Google.

The safe root method is how i rooted with 4.3 but it is my understanding that you need your phone to be unlocked to use a different carrier. Unlocked and rooted are 2 different things.

Unlocked sop I can use whatever carrier I want.
Rooted Because I want control over my pohone and not somebody else saying what I can and cant do with it.
I can get it to bot in cwm recovery but thats all it won't rot the rom so I can see it its rooted or not. I followed eth entire instructions provided and used oden like it said to and all I suceded in doing was makeing a damn brick out of a phone I got to have running tomorrow morning

If you can get into Download mode (Power Off, then Volume Down+Power Button), then you'll need to download the Stock Rom and transfer it to your phone via ODIN. Do you know if you were 4.2, 4.3, or 4.42 before you bricked it? You can download the images from Sammobile.com

If you have access to ClockWork Mod Recovery, wipte the cache and dalvik and see if that lets it boot.
If not, just download a rom, any rom from the dev section that you want to try and put it on a micro SD card. Put the SD card in your phone.
Do a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) in recovery and flash the downlaoded ROM file. Your phone should boot right up.
You'll want a TouchWiz based rom if you still need to perform the SIM unlock proceedure so you can use it on the Cricket network. But once step at a time here...

Thats cause it wasn;t rooted before, hopefully it is now, cause my wife just went to Cricket to see if she can get her Iphone and mine on their network
I finally got the phone rooted but I screwed it up so bad I had to install a different rom to make it work, so not I'm roted and running wicked rom .Next I installed, updated and ran region away, it said it didn;t know if it worked or not, but I was told that it does unlock so hopefully it did.
I havea different S4 here ( SGHM919) that I'm gonna try the cf auto root on when the battery is fully charged, cause both my sons have S4's and they want to keep the rom they have now just be unlocked

If you were looking at cwm recovery then you most likely have root.

Thank you gentlemen, my phone is working again, rooted, currently running wicked rom, all the other phones are rooted with the stock roms for the kiddies unless they want to have a better rom
Region away works perfectly on mine even though it says it doesn't know if it did.
I was going to use triangle away, but it says something about bricking my phone and I really don't give a damn about the counter so ........
PanchoPlanet, Google is NOT my friend when it comes to phones XDA id my friend when it comes to phones
Now to go look for the stock memo pad that comes with the S4, I like that one best its simple and works

I too prefer Memo Pad, it's quick and simple, my reference to Google was that its quicker than the XDA search and more accurate. Good to hear your back on track.

I found Smemo on line, took a while since I'm on oxycodone for pain due to a hernia operateing, but I got it, placed it in eth rom and reflashed it
Now I'd love to find a theme for Wicked V10 that would change teh color of the phone dialpad, I HATE white dialers, makes me remember when I was a kid back in teh 60' when my mom had nothing but white so she could see if it was clean, and sanitized, degermed, and all that, ( yes I was an outside type, and brought it all inside )

Oh and all I can say guys, is thanks for trying to help me I WILL figure it out for the firmware and hardware and software that I have, experimenting with a phone that I totally bricked today, gotta re-instal the entire os on it, so I'm gonna experiment with various versions of the SGH-M919 software, if I find out what works on what I'll post it for you guys to check and make sure I did right
