Need Firmware! Please. SGSIII Sprint

The How To links by Qbking77 don't work and I can't get the required files. My phone is soft bricked and I can only access download mode. I can't access my recovery either.
I need to flash stock firmware etc. I was on Cyanogenmod. Any help is much appreciated.
IF someone could please post the firmware file so I can revert, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.

He already said he can't get to recovery. He can only get to download. This is the perfect option though... it is a one click and it is going to install the stock recovery. For safe measure, I would suggest a factory default after flashing it. Then, flash a new recovery sometime after.

I just flashed an international kernel being careless and soft bricked my phone here's how I got it back.
1) Install USB Driver for Samsung Galaxy S3 on the computer. (Click Skip Ad on the top of the screen)
2) Download ODIN 3.07
3) Download the latest Sprint OTA 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Official Firmware L710VPBMD4_L710SPRBMD4_SPR.zip
4) Unzip the tar from L710VPBMD4_L710SPRBMD4_SPR.zip
3) Holding Home, Volume Down, then Power, get your phone in download mode. (Hit Volume up to continue once presented with Download Screen)
4) Connect USB Cable and launch Odin on the computer.
5) Make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked click on PDA and point to the TAR, after its verified hit start. Let it go through its paces your phone should be back to stock.
Edit: I also suggest you do Volume Up + Home + Power and then reset the phone to factory defaults after flashing. Will help things run smoother.

My phone on bootloop, and Odin is not working.

Hello. I'm not a developer or anything, but I do think that I know some things about technology. I have been trying to fix my GN2, AT&T. I have rooted it, and I did something bad, and now I don't even have access to recovery. Sorry if this question was posted some where else, but trust me. I've searched everywhere to find a way to fix my phone. Oh, and I do have access to download mode. Well, I did saw on a other post that you have to flash a ROM, via Odin to fix this. It did not work. It's my first time using Odin, but I put the .tar file in to the PDA section, and clicked start. (Of course with my phone plugged in to my laptop on download mode). After like 30 minutes, it failed. I tried some other USB ports, but it did not help. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

Ok, so I tried it. It successfully flashed the recovery. But when I went into the recovery, (Or tried to) it only showed some home, back, etc. buttons at the bottom of the screen. After that, it went back to the boot loop. Now I'm trying to flash a rom, see what happens. Please tell me if I did something wrong, or any tips would be appreciated.

So what version of firmware was your phone on before you whorked it up?
Need more if to figure out how to fix it.
If you were on 4.3 you should be able to do this

No worries. Did you take a 4.3 backup before flashing 4.4.2 ?
If not, just ODIN back to 4.1.1 LJ2 like in Post #1. Then flash a custom recovery and you can then flash one of the 4.3 ROMS.
Oh look here's one ...:laugh:

Flash the 1.75 version then scroll down and do the 2.0 Update.
You can do that after completing Post #2 and following these steps under Option #2 in Post #3
OPTION 2:
You will need to flash a custom recovery. I'm detailing a TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP) install

Also by Haroon Q Raja
INSTALLING TWRP 2.6.3.1
- Run Odin3 v3.07.exe
Download Link http://www.mediafire.com/download/772dlmuaxfgm0x2/Odin307.zip
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Plug into a RELIABLE usb port and a RELIABLE usb cable (preferably the white Samsung cable) and wait for it to show up in Odin (COM5 or something like that)
- Click the PDA slot in Odin and locate the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar that you downloaded.
The filename that goes into the PDA Slot is openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar
MAKE SURE IN THE OPTION AREA ONLY AUTO REBOOT AND F.RESET TIME ARE CHECKED!!!
- Click START and wait. It will complete and reboot.

[Q] Locked my phone!! Want to save data!!

Problem is I'm using Jellybean and my phone is locked and I forgot the pin!! Now, when I try to flash TWRP kitkat version it stays on stock recovery, same with Cwm recovery!!

No, you don't need an older version. You simply aren't installing it correctly. Follow the instructions EXACTLY as shown the recovery thread.

As I expected, you did not follow the instructions properly. The instructions direct you to "uncheck auto-reboot in Odin". You did not do this.

Directly from the instructions:
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).

Recovery gets overwritten

Hi,
i got a problem with my Note 10.1 2014. I flashed TWRP with Odin now for like 20 times but if the Tab reboots and I shut it down and enter recovery its Samsung **** again.
I already tried with no Auto-Reboot but then it never gets into recovery. ( I turned it off, then Vol up + home + power)
Any idea what i could try.
Greetings
Sorry for my bad english btw.

you need to first of all, root your tablet . See the link https://download.chainfire.eu/378/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.zip
Then head to the official twrp page and download the 2.8.5.0 version - as it is the most stable https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/
Download the .tar version file and flash it via odin
reboot & enjoy.
For any help, pls dont forget to ask. Hope it helps.

Thanks. Root Worked. Do i flash TWRP with Odin included in the CF-Auto Root folder or with the 3.10 version. If i should take the 3.10, which boxes do i have to check?
Hell yeahh. Thank you soooo much! It worked. How the **** can anyone know you have to root the device before you can install twrp. Normaly i do it the other way around. Anyway. Thanks a lot!

If you have root use flashify to flash recovery

Here is what you need to do:
1: setup odin in it's options so it will not reboot the phone
2: odin flash the twrp recovery TAR file using odin
3: when it's done flashing disconnect usb cable.
4: use the method I described to boot directly from the download screen into recovery.
5: in recovery you MUST flash @arter97;s v4.1 custom rooted kernel and supersu in recovery
6: after flashing the custom kernel POWER DOWN the phone.
7: after powerdown reboot into recovery mode, it will be twrp
unless you are doing something wrong. (users fault).
Don't allow the phone to boot or reboot.
The phone must go into recovery mode directly from the "downloading" odin mode screen.
When you are in the "downloading" screen you can also use the 4 finger option to get into
recovery mode.
Volume Up, Volume Down, Home Key and Power Button all at the same time (20 secs or so)
until you see recovery mode. Once you are in recovery use the power off option in it.
If you let the phone bootup by itself you will need to start all over again before you get root.
Doing all the above will root your phone.
Once you are in recovery use it's options to shut the phone down.

I'm confused I did steps 1 through 3 and then try to go into recovery mode with the 4 fingers and it goes into samsung recovery. Is that where I'm supposed to go or have I done something wrong? I know that it did the flash Odin says passed and phone shows knox tripped.

It's supposed to trip knox, that means the you have done a successful odin flash.
Yes when it gets into samsung recovery then you need to select the option to "power down".
After the phone is turned off then boot into recovery and you will have twrp.
Once in twrp flash the arter97 v4.1 kernel and flash supersu in the same twrp session.
No need to reboot into twrp twice.
Good luck!

I figured out how to get it working thanks for your help.

Hi Misterjunky, Will this work on the T-mo latest OTA update (BOH6)? Thanks.

Yes, be sure you get the 4.1, 4.3 or the newer 5.0 version.
Any of those will work just fine.
Good luck!
Have a great evening.
