My phone is a Sprint Galaxy SIII that is stock rooted. I didn't root until after accepting the OTA update to 4.3 MK3. I could use a little help getting wifi working, as there is so much out there I'm a little lost on what my next step should be.
I used the 'saferoot' method using my ubuntu pc. It worked flawlessly from the command line. It also installed SuperSu and I think it did something to disable knox, but I'm not sure what. I don't have a custom recovery or custom rom, everything else is stock.
I tried using the Wifi tether 'Trev-E' mod, but that just gives me errors and I can't get it to work.
I use this phone with my company email, which means they have hooks into it but I'm not sure in what ways.
My company laptop doesn't allow an adhoc wifi connection, only the normal infrastructure mode, so I'm hopeful someone can point me to an infrastructure capable tether app that actually works.
I'm a technical person, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff. I usually google around and get frustrated because I'm not sure what applies to me and I don't want to end up bricking my phone because I did something stupid.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Treat me like a total noob. How do I flash this hacked hotspot onto my GSIII? The link says I need a custom recovery. Which one do I choose and how do I get it loaded? Do I have to use custom recovery, or can I use 'Odin'? Thanks.
*edit*
Nevermind, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I flashed Philz recovery on the 2nd try, once I had that flashing the hacked hotspot was easy. It works with my work laptop too, yay! thanks again!

...and it's saying that I need to flash CWM first before I can do anything, but already have CWM 3.0.0.6 running. If I select flash CWM within Rom Manager, will it adversely affect anything? Will I need to flash a rom again after flashing CWM (again) in order to use my phone?
ROM manager doesnt work properly with Epic right now. You'll cause yourself a lot of headaches if you try to use it

ahh...thank you for the advice
Just reading the title and you know this can get bad fast
I use ROM MANAGER on the Epic, I haven't had any major problems with it, except it doesn't like to quick boot on a few roms without a little extra push. Any way, it isn't really a necessity unless you get the paid app, you can do everything easier (and on the epic, sometimes quicker) in CWM.

I have never used rom manager. Everything I do is through odin or clockwork
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Rom Manager doesn't help me in any way that CWM can't, plus it generally wants to install its own problematic version of CWM... If you make multiple Nandroid backups with clockwork, then you can rename their directories to whatever you choose, just make sure there's no space in the name (i.e. try something like Nandroid_Backup-1).
Built from source to enable future fixes. VM only for now, sprint will come in a day or two.
Currently working:
Calls
Data
Wifi
GPS
SD mounting
No roaming indicator (says sprint instead of vm though)
Lights
Sensors
Unknown, but probably not working:
MMS
Bluetooth
Root
Haptic feedback
Logcats when trying to do any of these things, or with any other errors, would be appreciated. So would some screenshots to make this post a little more attractive.
This will wipe data, backup your apps.
Download for VM here
Recommended to flash the rom, let it boot, then go into recovery and flash google apps to prevent permissions errors.

Nice ROM! I installed it and so far so good! I know pretty much anything is better than stock. But this is getting some use out of my intercept!
Please keep the updates coming.
I'm looking to build CM7 for the Intercept, any hints? I grabbed the boardfiles from a thread on SDX, and I'm pulling a forked kernel from qnhoang81, from penguinrepair's github.
Just received my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T yesterday and it's gorgeous! I used CF-Auto-Root to get root in under 30 seconds as advertised! I installed F-Droid and then Adaway, which is my ad blocker of choice, but it has a problem writing the hosts file. I was wondering if this has something to do with not having access to a particular partition? It's not really a huge ordeal and I know the device is brand new but I thought I would throw this out there just in case anyone else had noticed the issue or has a solution. Thanks in advance.

Make sure Busybox is up to date. If you installed it, rebooted, and it still doesn't work, try enabling USB debugging, and try again. That worked for me in the past when I had issues with it not working right.

To update my own results. I couldn't get it to work normally. I had to change the host destination in settings to /data/data/hosts, and then let the app create a symlink. Now it works great.

I found this while playing around with different hidden things on my note 4 and was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is and if anyone knows if it's ok to change any of the settings in this menu.

I can't see a photo if you appended one.
After looking into this after debloating and now that I have an unlocked bootloader (so happy now), it seems to be a test to enable WiFi calling with verizon and/or samsung. It should be harmless. I froze it in Titanium Backup since they have announced WiFi calling coming to verizon.....soon.

Hi.
I accidently bought a s7 edge verizon and now I can't work anymore. Its draining my battery so fast that it get to hot to finish. I have tried to unlock the bootloader so I can root it, (both with wondershare dr. Fone and with odin) but it seems impossible.
How can I make my phone my own phone?

Follow this post carefully step by step, do not skip anything and you should have a fully rooted S7edge.
Keep in mind that there's no bootloader unlock available for US Samsungs, therefore no TWRP custom recovery, otherwise it works just fine.

Thx
Thanx. I will get back when I'm finished
Found the right best buy employee. She had this working in an hour 0
Took the 4.4.2 update and it went to crap.
Stuck on download or connect ti kies page
You're stuck on this right? A couple of questions then.
Have you rooted it at all in the past?
Have you at any point installed a different custom rom?
This should be able to work for you.

Yes to previous root but in an attempt to recover any system files it now says custom firmware below the stock and binary section of download mode. Recovery screen no longer exists.

Took the 4.4.2 update.
Rooted same day.
Phone was stable for 2 or 3 days and accidentally got left on. Since then it's only showed a connect to kies screen.
Tried original kies
Kies3
Sidesync
And emailed corporate US, China, and Japan asking for help and/or md5 and no one replies
Willng to pay upfront just to show how serious i am about the $100. If it doesn't get resolved in the time agreed apon I'll simply ask for a refund
Bestbuy fixed it. Took 4 visits and 3 different employees but it's going now
Any way to create the md5 file they used to repair this? I'd like to share the heck out of it in hopes of helping others with stuck devices.
