Hi guys,
I am sick of 4.3, My battery drains 15% in 3 hours while screen is off and phone is not in use. I want to go back to 4.1.2.
I rooted with Kingo root. It said OK.
But when i booted into the 4.3, i get an SU error, Knox is blocking it. I updated SU and it says no binary installed, manually reroot again.
Also where can i find the stock 4.1.2 Sprint rom?
Life was good then, Everything just worked, great battery life.
Thanks for the help fellas, its much appreciated.
With some trepidation, i tried to rerooth using kingo root and udated SU, and this time it asked if i wised to disable knox. *got lucky*
Which recovery should i install?
And where do i get the 4.1.2 rom from?
Appreciate the help folks.
for those in the same boat as me that need to know.
i installed Philz and went for smoothest rom. went without a hitch and am exploring it now.
asmd.

If the auto root worked (rebooted into recovery and did it's thing) than just download SuperSU from the play store. Update the binary by opening the app and than recheck for root.

after trying for 5 times, it worked.
i am rooted now.
but have another issue, gave my google account for phone setup. also used mrrobinson debloater.
noticed that none of my apps from playstore are getting installed on my phone.
is it because mrrobinsoon debloater deleted something or its just me , a noob..

If you can still get into your custom recovery, try flashing [ROM][ZIP]Stock Rooted Deodexed/Odexed MD4 with SuperSU/Busybox 1.20.2

Most likely the SuperSU app is installed but being blocked by Knox. Go to the app store and search SuperSU. Update it. Then it should appear on the phone. Run it. It will ask if you would like to disable Knox. Answer yes. After that you should have root.
I can't get into recovery mode. When I try it runs chainfire again and nothing happens
hey guys. lurker turned new poster here at XDA. a friend of mine turned me on to this a while back when he introduced me to the world of rooting. I've recently bought a Galaxy S III (SGH-i747), and I've been trying to root it using mskip's unified toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290). I got it rooted once, but eventually bricked it when trying to get 4.4 on it, and had to reinstall the stock 4.1.1 rom on it and lost the root in the process.
I'm completely new to all this, and I'm still trying to figure it out. I've been searching as much as I can and reading a lot, but I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing here. when I try to root it lately using the toolkit, it gets stuck in the process after I exit Odin, and will never progress.
before when the root was actually in place, I tried to install a custom OS after doing a full wipe of the system, and it never would install. I tried it with TWRP and CWM, and there was no success with either of them. the one peculiar thing, however, is that I could never get it to install with the "ALLINONE" option. when I got it to work that once, I had to install it each individually.
is there some sort of guide out there that would make this easier for me to get 4.4 on the phone? or will someone be able to help me through the process?
thank you for your time!
I just rebooted my comp, reinstalled the drivers for the phone through the toolkit, and gave it one more shot at rooting it (option 1 in the program), and this is what the process looked like.
*see attached image*
I *always* get stuck at the "pushing superuser.apk and su binary.." part.
any thoughts?

My Bell s3 was on 4.1.2. I rooted by installing a rooted rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Do not flash a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom if you have a bootloader from 4.3.
when I got the phone, it had 4.1.2 on it. when I bricked it, I flashed a stock 4.1.1 ROM on it, and that's what I've been using as my base ROM.
Boomer1605: I'll try that when I get home.
anyone else know what is up with the place I get stuck at during the toolkit way?
My Bell s3 was on 4.1.2 when I got it. SInce I needed to unlock it and didn't want to pay, I installed the stock Bell 4.1.1 firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/.
After using the menu option to unlock the phone and confirm that it was unlocked, I flashed the pre-rooted Bell s3 4.1.2 rom.
Everything worked perfectly, no errors or issues at all.
Cool! Can I find a pre-rooted 4.1.1 AT&T rom on that site? I can't really look at that link cause I'm currently at work.
Pre-rooted roms are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was able to install Root Explorer on my pre-rooted ROM and delete a tonne of Samsung apps.
I was able to install a pre-rooted version of 4.1.1, and I did a system/data/cache/dalvik wipe from the TWRP screen, but when I tried to install both Liquid Smooth and Omni Rom, it failed. I even restarted and didn't wipe, and it still failed. not sure where to go from here... :/

totally got it to work! I skipped using the toolkit to install TWRP, and used GooManager to use the latest TWRP. worked like a charm! currently running on Liquid Smooth 4.4.2!
thanks for the rooted copy of 4.1.1!

Awesome! Congratulations. For future reference, TWRP also had tar images for use with Odin.
HI! I have spent hours reseaching and trying different files and nothing has worked. I updated a rooted 4.1.1 to 4.3 via OTA and I did get rid of the root but Super Su is still present with no root access. I tried uninstalling it via super su app but it tells me uninstall failed. I tried via the play store but it only gives me the option to update. The whole reason for doing this was because I wanted to start using the ISIS payment system but it keeps telling me my phone is rooted and ISIS won't work. I know is not rooted because Super SU doesn't have root access and I tried the root access apk and it has told me I don't have root access. I'm looking to install a tar file via odin which should get rid of any traces of Super Su or root which is preventing me to use ISIS. I never had issues getting rid of root before but this time I don't know if its because I updated via OTA but even then it should have gotten rid of Super Su and it did not. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you're using an i747m from a Canadian carrier, you could try flashing a stock 4.3 ROM.
I've been rooting phones for a few years now (my evo and my Note 2.) I had my note 2 rooted for about a year and while having performance issues with Sprint (hate sprint) I flashed back to stock and updated everything, including the firmware. Ugh, I updated the firmware to the new knox firmware. Not knowing I was up a creek, I reflashed my phone with the tools I already had and had already used and triggered knox and cant get a recovery to stick. As far as I can tell the phone is still stock with knox tripped and I cant get any farther. I've spent a few hours reading now and I cant seem to find a way to either reverse knox or root the phone with knox tripped. I tried the cf auto root in the origional development section and couldn't figure it out.
Anybody got any advice, or a link to a thread started post knox so it talks about how to deal with it?

You shouldn't be up a creek. What recovery did you flash? Try the latest Philz for note2. Unchecked auto-reboot in Odin before flashing it, and when it's done pull the battery then put the battery back in and do the power button/home button/volume up to get into recovery...

I've been using the unified android toolkit. It seemed to work flawlessly before knox. Now it just stalls. Odin installs the custom recovery, the phone reboots, and goes into the stock android recovery. So I unchecked the auto reboot option, flashed CWM, and while looking nervously at the do not power down device screen, pulled the battery. It booted into CWM fine, flashed Paranoid Android and gapps fine, and rebooted into the new ROM just fine.
Not really sure why I was having problems, or why the pull the battery step is necessary, but it seems to have worked. I did not flash any SU files. Is that necessary?
I would download 1 of the root checker apps, or just install an app that requires root.
Usually (though I can verify not always. Lol) you have to reboot directly into download mode to finish the install of the custom recovery. If you let your phone reboot, stock recovery will over-write the custom recovery that you're trying to install...

I ran a root checker and it says I do not have root access. But the phone is running paranoid...so what am I missing here? I thought I needed root access to install the recovery and install a ROM. Seems I do not. Should I care about the lack of root access? Because all I really wanted was to replace the ROM, and that seems to have worked.

PA Roms work funny with root access on my device also. Just download and flash the latest SuperSU zip. If you already have it installed wipe the data first.
