News: Important News for Sprint's LF9 OTA Update
News: Important News for Sprint's LF9 OTA Update
6/30/2012:
Sprint SGS3 received the LF9 OTA update from Sprint today. If you used our previous root method, applying this OTA update works. After applying the update, you need to flash the latest version of our Root .zip in order to retain custom recovery and root status. You may also want to upgrade to CWM for SGS3 LTE variants version 4 as it contains an important fix for backups.
Reportedly LF9 fixes the Google Wallet not Certified issue.
sweet v4 did the trick. the OTA broke recovery and I was getting nervous lol
Did not fix the Google wallet issue for me

No, although you need Root .zip v4 after you upgrade to yesterday's OTA.
Funny thing is I did not have a problem with wallet before I tried to update ...the update failed in cwm obviously

Looks too easy but can't wait to root
ODIN'd back to stock, found my security update inside the internal cache (stock recovery) and was able to run it from there just fine....yup, had unrooted and run the update; it downloaded but failed to activate.
ODIN'd cwm/rooted then opened wallet, activation went fine........after, ran the Store update: now I get the Unsupported Device message (4 rooted devices)............go figure!
** still, wallet works just fine! Rooted users, just ignore the message........all wallet users should be aware: your working wallet needs to be reset direct from the open app (not cache/not data) PRIOR to flash or device hard reset. Otherwise you may end up borking your wallet and bricking the secure element. So, prior to flash: open wallet then navigate Menu/Settings/Reset google wallet.........now you're free to flash.

For some reason I am unable to achieve root. I flashed the LF9 update and then Odin'd v4 tar, pulled the battery when it said pass, booted to recovery and flashed root-from-recovery v4. When I rebooted, I did not have root. What did I do wrong please?

update: nevermind I actually do have root access. however when I used the root check to see if I had root, it said that I did not and it said that the system was running very slowly. however when I did it again after updating the binary in su I found that I did have root. thanks to all the devs, donation on the way.

Does the flash actually fail with Odin? Or are you accidentally letting the phone reboot before booting into recovery. The Step-by-Step directions are there for this very reason. If the phone boots up without flashing our Root .zip v4, the stock kernel will rewrite the stock recovery back to the phone and you will have to start over.
Question? Do we need to install busybox and let it update?

If you want to stay rooted, flash the LG1 package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426. That post also has the GoogleQuickSearchBox app from LEM if you want to put back universal search.
Yup, I had the "update available" notification, then updated to UCALG1 and still have root and so far I haven't been bothered by another update notification.
let me try and clear things up sorry for the confusin, i am rooted and want to stay rooted. at&t sent that ota update about a month ago i guess now and it ask me to update when i try and update it starts to the restarts phone and sends me to recovery and i reboot system and it says update failed. id like to update it if i can keep root but not sure how to do that. my recovery is cwm-based recovery v5.5.04. i know there is a work around i think it has to do with the odin but i have no idea how to do that one. phone specs are baseband version i747uclem. kernel is 3.0.8-599060-user build number is imm75d.i747ucalem im not sure ill miss the universal search as i dont believe i use it if it just takes away the widget.
Here's my experience:
Got AT&T SGS3 from local retailer. It had I747UCALEM ROM.
Restored stock kernel via method in [Root]/[Restore]Our ATT SGS3 Tested working! thread using ODIN.
Installed ClockworkMod
Flashed rooted I747UCALEM ROM from [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - Updated [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] thread using ODIN
Verified root via SuperUser and Titanium Backup
Installed ClockworkMod Touch for AT&T from [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - Updated [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] thread in the Third, (optional) section.
A few days later, I got an AT&T Software Update notification.
I tried to apply the update, and it rebooted and told me the update could not be applied, so I told it to Postpone.
About a week later or so it nagged me again, so I revisted the [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - Updated [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] thread and noticed the I747UCALG1 rooted ROM was available.
I downloaded the I747UCALG1 rooted ROM and applied via ODIN
After application, checked root again, and still rooted
All good (as far as I can tell), and no more AT&T Software Update nags! Now I know to freeze the app via Titanium Backup if I have the problem again, or probably I should just freeze it regardless so it stops checking period.
So in your case since you're already rooted on I747UCALEM like I was, I think all you need to do is apply the I747UCALG1 rooted ROM via ODIN and you'll be good like me.
Hope that helps clear things up for you.
So not sure if i know to do it but i think u download file to computer and open in Odin put phone in download run Odin go to recovery unzip file. Correct me if I'm wrong
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Pretty much you got it. Just remember to extract the tar and use PDA mode in ODIN.
The instructions in the Second, section of the [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - Updated [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers] thread, that's what I followed. It tells you exactly what you need to do.
What is tar?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Sorry, extract the tar file out of the .7z file, you don't need to do anything with the tar file beyond feeding it to ODIN. Just don't try to feed the .7z file to ODIN as it won't know what to do with it.
But if you're insanely curious, tar is a tape archive file from the *nix days, it's a concatenation of files and their attributes.
More on tar on Wikipedia
i noticed on the other thread it says u can stop at a certain point if u arent gonna flash roms. im not sure im going to on this phone yet or not can i go back and do the third step if i decide i wanna do roms or would i be better off going ahead and going all the way thorugh? or do i even have to since i already have clockworkmod?
As I understand things, because you're rooted already (or maybe because we have clockworkmod), the standard AT&T update doesn't work. Regardless, if out did work we'd lose root in the update.
The AT&T update check still runs in the standard (rooted) ROM so you are getting nagged about the newer version.
So...
OPTION A - UPDATE AND KEEP ROOT
If you want to update and keep root, you need to manually apply the newest rooted stock ROM from the thread with ODIN.
Once you do that the AT&T updater should see your ROM is current and will stop nagging.
OPTION B - DON'T UPDATE AND KEEP ROOT
Freeze the AT&T software update application from Titanium Backup.
Then you won't be nagged about the software update anymore.
You won't have the newest ROM but at least you keep root.
OPTION C - LOSE ROOT AND UPDATE LIKE STOCK PEOPLE DO
I haven't looked into unrooting so I can't tell you how to do this one, but you'd be back to "normal people" world.

For this you'd flash a non-rooted, stock ROM through ODIN.
long time evo user, noob at the s3. I rooted my dad's phone because he needed wifi tether, but he is freaked out about accidentally applying an ota and bricking his phone. Can I disable ota checks or restore the stock recovery while keeping root? Thanks!
You can always install OTA RootKeeper and have it back everything up. I used it for the first time last night before updating my wife's S3 and it worked great.
Did you have a stock recovery or can you install the updates over a custom one?
recommended way
Is to just flash the lg8 modem posted in the development section and then suppress the update notification by flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1244277&d=1344225893 or by flashing the legit update and flashing this after to keep root http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip. if you didnt modify system you can copy the legit update from cache to sd and flash in cwm

No you wont brick. And the mod only makes u look up to date so any future update will come thru as normal.
If u hit install with cwm And ur system is unmodified it will probably finish but will get rid of root thats what the root from recovery zip is for. Def no brick tho.
Thanks soo much Okay so if he just accepts an update the phone will automatically update through cwm but will get rid of root? So he has nothing to worry about except losing root if sammy sends out an ota.

Ya and thats saying that the update finishes. Worst that will happen is root is gone. If the system was modified or something dont match the checks the update does, the update will fail and nothing will change. But i can assure you, it will not hardbrick u. Ur In samsung country now lol and that has never ever happened with a samsung to my knowledge. Like i said In first post tho definatly recomend coming here for the update (usually a modem) flash it manually, and avoid the ota altogether. But hitting the install button wont hurt you.
I've found this is much easier. Zedomax has a rooted LG8 stock ROM up for download. Just flash, clear cache and you're ready to go. (note that if you have any flashed mods such as a CPU editor or the Google Now on ICS mod you will have to reflash)

Hey guys, just got my SIII and I can't tell which rooting methods work on 4.1.1 and which ones don't. They haven't been updated in a while it seems. I'm coming from the EVO 4G where I rooted, installed a custom recovery, and then from there it was just a matter of flashing ROMs through recovery. Is the process similar on the SIII? Can anyone link me to an updated rooting method? Thanks for the help.

Nothing has been updated in a while because the process to root has not changed. The process to root the GS3 is incredibly simple, especially compared to the Evo. I used the Team Epic Root From Recovery.

Used the same guide when I got my phone last month
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Just bought the SIII for black friday deal and was prompted for the JB 4.1.1 update. I updated and ran into an issue with rooting. It appears when I use Odin to load clockwork mod it works but as soon as I restart it goes back to normal recovery mode. So instead of having Odin reboot my phone I unchecked that option and did a battery pull. Success I was able to boot into clockwork mod. Then I tried to flash CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7 to gain root access. It all appeared fine in Clockwork mod, but as soon as I rebooted it seems to have broke.
Anyone have any suggestions?
This has been the case since the LG8 update. It has code that will replace the stock recovery if the signature check fails.
You need to follow the Team Epic Root from Recovery method (posted above). You flash CWM using Odin but do not reboot. Do a battery pull and boot into CWM. From there you flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery file. This gives you root but also removes the recovery signature check that is replacing the stock recovery.
So close, I guess I didn't know team epic had a different root for recovery file. Giving it a shot shortly. Thanks!
Hi, So about 5 days ago I rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II using the video Max Lee made from galaxynote2root(dot)com, and about 36 hours later I get a notification for an OTA update. I kept off updating because I didn't really know what to do. I'm really new to this and there's still a lot I have to learn. Anyway, I ran the update and it restarted my phone and went to the TWRP screen. I restarted the system and it stopped notifying me about the update. And I checked and it says that my system is up to date. And I also checked to see if I still have root with a root checker app I downloaded, and it said I still had root also. So, was the app wrong and I don't have root anymore? And after I updated should I have restored the backup I made when I originally rooted? Also, thanks for any help, I've looked around and couldn't find anyone else with this question.
Your phone automatically downloaded the update and was waiting to be powercycled to install. However it failed to install because it requires stock recovery to install and you dont have it. So your phone boots back up and all is good with no changess.

I also have the same issues. I did a back up of my original roms and re installed using twrp . I down load the new update and when its going to restart it goes into to twrp menu. From there i am stuck on what to do.
It failed because you're not on stock recovery. If flashing the stock ota, you need stock recovery.
If you have twrp recovery, read and review this thread:

Before I rooted my note I made a back up using twrp. Is that not a stock recovery file ?.
Yes and no. That's basically just a backup of the stock rom that's only flashable via twrp since that is the recovery used to create the nand. So yes it is a recovery but only flashable thru twrp.

Ok well I did recovered using twrp and it installed and took me back that state before the root. I was thinking that took me back to original state and then update . I did download the update but as it was restarting the twrp home sceen would pop up and not update. So now I have no root or new update. Its funny it was easier to root then to unroot.
The link I posted above would have allowed you to flash new firmware and ma7 through twrp. No unroot reroot required. ..
And like stated, you can't update the stock ota update without stock recovery.

I have flashed over 30 SPH-L900 (Note 2) fron Sprint to Boost.
I do everything on CDMA (paid version) 3.9.
Since the L.900VPAMAZ update I can no longer change the esn to Boost because the 16 digit CDMA passcode is no longer the default passcode for the Note 2. The old pascode: 01F2030F5F678FF9 still works for the Galaxy S2 and S3 but is no longer recognized on CDMA Workshop or QXDM.
If anyone knows the new passcode please let me know.
If I find it I will post it so that noone else has this problem.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I have looked around for the solution to this but can't find one.
Starting out rooted, I updated my phone to SkyNote 4.3 (not sure if that helps) and still had root for a minute. I went through the process of setting up the phone how I like it, and after a few restarts, the root went away. This has happened twice. I've read posts where people talked about Android 4.3 deleting root but here's where the story gets interesting:
The threads/posts that people are pointing to to fix it is pretty much centered around Chainfire's post on Google+ https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/Jkuu84odnx6 .
The difference between the similar posts are that Chainfire has updated the version over the months. I have tried flashing that update zip over and over but I still have no root and the SU app is still buried in my system/app folder, which of course I can't delete because I have no root. I guess my questions are does anyone know how to delete this system/app apk for SU without wiping and starting from another ROM or know how to correct it in general?
Thanks you guys for reading.

I have the exact same issue with my SGH_I317M. I rooted with CF-Root, flashed TWRP, flashed Skynote 4.3, flashed the update, flashed the Rogers modem and flashed the WIFI fix all with ODEN. Everything works. Even WIFI. But I lost Root. I made 2 full backups with TWRP. 1st. right after flashing TWRP still with 4.1.2 ROM and the 2nd after flashing 4.3 and all the patches. When I restore back to 4.1.2 all is good. When I restore to 4.3 Skynote, I loose Root. I tried flashing the SuperUser Update but it fails. Any help would be much appreciated.

My last comment should help. When you flash the update, make sure it's the one from the post above. It carries the latest SU. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do, but it worked for me because the SU binaries want to update but it needs the correct one.

Thank you Deon. I was reading this thread yesterday using the XDA app on my mobile for the first time. I downloaded the updated binary from this thread using my mobile.
