Do you have KNOX on the phone? That might be causing it

I do and thanks for the response.
Since trying the install a few times I have now lost root access. Now when I try to transfer files to my phone through USB so I can root it again it always times out.
Other than the above the phone is working.
What should I do?

I just tried a different usb cable and it worked. Phone is now rooted. I'll uninstall knox and try it again.

When I rooted my S3 i9300 I had similar problems with timing out, I tried one desktop PC and a laptop, with no luck. I finally dug out an old netbook which worked - so I guess it would be worth trying a different PC if you can?
This is a link to disabling KNOX - my phone doesn't have it so I've not tried it myself http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-uninstall-knox
Hope that helps!
edit: Or a different cable lol

I have completely removed knox.
I am still getting the root may be possibly lost message. I select yes to fix root and I still get my original firmware.
There has to be someone who knows how to fix this?

Are you talking about in the recovery? if yes ignore it and choose no or get a better recovery like philz where it doesn't pester you about it.
Also this is in the wrong phone forum, this is the international version. Ill get a mod to shift it for you.
also its the i747 not 1747.

Pc Not recognizing S3

I just got my Gs3 Replacement and for some reason i cant get my pc to recognize the phone so i can transfer files. Do the drivers from my last Gs3 have anything to do with this?

Same Issue here, someone said to go back to stock, and then reflash everything. Let me know if you found a better solution.

Finally got it to work by just doing a factory reset. I was stock none rooted. But trying to root at the time.

This happened to me after I switched Roms, but I just did a factory reset and re flashed the ROM and it seemed to do the trick.
Gremlins I guess, always best to do a data wipe and factory reset.
You can use a regular SD card reader. JS

Yeah, but it is very important to have the ability to have your phone connect to your PC, this makes things much easier and quicker as well.
Also you can't access the internal memory of your phone, this solution just solves half of the battle.

Odin seems to be broken on my Galaxy S3

Hey guys,
This may sound weird but I can't seem to pretty much flash anything thru Odin. I have no clue as to what could be the issue. I tried multiple usb ports and nothing. It's so weird. Any ideas as to what is happening?

Did you just try flashing one file or multiple files?
If you just tried one file, it could be a bad download. Just re-download the file and try again.
If you've tried multiple files and they all can't be flashed, then I'm not sure what's going on? What does ODIN say when you try to flash?
You do have the Samsung drivers installed, right? Is this a sudden issue? Has it worked in the past? Try loading the Samsung drivers and Odin on a different computer.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah this seems sudden not sure why, and in the past it has worked when I rooted it. Last night I tried Odin-ing back to full stock to get stock recovery, but the odin said it failed. Now after i rebooted the phone, I wasn't getting 4g, I was getting Edge. i wonder if i broke my 4g signal as well. You guys think I should try the mobile odin?
Edit: Alright, I used mobile odin and that worked, however, I still don't get 4g network, and now every time I connect my phone to Kies on PC it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies" when I happened to be ALL stock. These a little issues I never had before, it's weird.

wow you guys rock, I never would've thought it was the IMEI. It turns out the IMEI on the phone got completely lost, my guess during the bad Odin flashes. Why you guys think that happened though? Thanks for the link stevessvt. I followed the thread, but some of its download links were not working, so I was lead to another similar thread with links working properly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 and I managed to restore my IMEI back into the phone. I wish I would've seen your post a lot sooner, I even went to T-mobile to see if it was a sim card malfunction or a 4g outage in the area, but they couldn't figure it out so they are sending me a new phone tomorrow...damn now I gotta return this one.
I wonder why this happened though?? All I was trying to do was flash back to stock so I can get stock recovery back, but like I said earlier it failed me like three times.
Thanks you guys for leading me to the right direction.

Help me Please, I'm the worse and the most stupid Noob ever!!!

Help me help me please, I'm so stupid , I have an AT&T S3 unlocked and I'm currently using Tmobile...
I rooted my phone, and I used DEBLOATER FREE, to debloat some of the stuffs in the list. I was actually being careful with the selection. Anyway, I deleted some files, and when I restarted the phone. I'm no longer getting signal. Can someone please help me. I need to get it fix soon. Any helps and advices at this point would be greatly appreciated. Please by the way, i tried to go to setting ->More setting->Mobile Networks, and it freezzed and received a message "unfortunately, settings has stopped"
I used mskip's tool to rooted my phone, if i used that tool to relfash my stock recovery, would this solve the issue?
or I'm on ICS 4.0.4 right now, If i Update the phone to JB would this solve the issue.
Let me add one more thing that, I rooted this phone a long time ago, today i was being stupid and debloat stuffs assuming it won't affect my phone much

just reflash stock rom via odin using this tutorial here ----> you will lose all data so find a way to back it up to your computer.

First of, thanks you so much. I don't think you attach a link for me yet. A quick update, I checked my imei, and it said null/null. so if i used mskip tool to do a efs partition would that solve the issue?
I'm downloading the ics stock rom right now, and I will keep you update. I will probably do it, via mskip's tool. What I'm wondering is, if i used samsung kies and update to JB, would this solve the issue also?
the phone is working fine, it's just i can't make call

I did more research and I think I narrow it down to EFS, mb i deleted my efs folder while debloated my phone, or some random reason...do you know any possible fix? because I didn't back it up. if I'm to re flash stock rom, do you think it will fix this issue?
I found this guide right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
so i re-flashed the stock rom using mskip tool, and now i can make call, but now i'm getting a bunch of messages like process android.process.acore has stopped, and touchwiz home error and i can't get pass that. Please Advise
[SOLVED] thank you so much, got everything back to normal. one more questions, since i re-flashed the stock rom, I can still access CWM recovery, but as i tried to install superuser, it said I can't...this is my first time so can you lead me to the right path?
Just re root your device using the same method.

[Q] Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing

On reboots of my phone I get Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing across the top of my boot screen ,anyone know what's causing this?
Something to be concerned about or a fix (if needed)?
It's normal on 5.1.1 with a non stock kernel, nothing to be worried about.

Anyone know what to do?

So I have the same thing for my sprint galaxy s6 5.1.1 . Its rooted (obviously ) but i wanted to know if there was a way to remove the root and put everything back to normal without losing all my data. I can't connect to the google play store at all (check connection and try again). This is the main reason i want it to go back to normal. I used the unroot option in the supersu and tried uninstalling but i keep getting uninstall unsuccessful. I turned off oem unlocking and usb debugging. I dont know what else to do and im new to the site and dont know where to go for help so im posting here. Thanks in advance.

I think it's best you send it back to where you got it then and let them have a look. Otherwise you could try flashing your original firmware again incase your current one has missing components.

Send it it back is definitely not going to happen cause I've tried that lol... But to flash the firmware wouldn't I need USB debugging checked? I hope not cause i can't get to it and is there any tutorials that could give me a step by step instructions?

This is the guide I use when flashing my stock ROM. Link
If you live outside the US then use the KDZ method.
