Ok guys, because I love you so much(no homo), and frankly, got tired of sitting on the sidelines watching while guys like @CNexus and @bilgerryan were busting their tails to try and get ND8 figured out, I took the plunge. That
Jdsingle, would it be possible to backtrack out of Knox by doing that method posted by shabby?
How to truly unbrick your SGS3 - Boost SGS3
How to truly unbrick your SGS3 - Boost SGS3 - Android Forums
Just a thought and maybe worth a try
UPDATE: I was able to get root to stick. This is how I had to do it:
-Flash CWM(I used Philz latest), via Odin, uncheck auto-reboot and F.Reset Time
-When done, pull battery, then boot to recovery
-Wipe cache, dalvik(good habit), then Philz settings/re-root System (SuperSU). It will instruct you to go into playstore and download SuperSU
-Reboot, download SuperSU in playstore. Open SuperSU, it will give you a Knox warning, asking you if you want to disable Knox(I said yes), and profit!
Yeah my Boost S3 downloaded the update but haven't installed it. Not going to install it because I'm running custom MOAR rom so I either have to revert back to stock and update or just wait for an updated rom from the dev over at XDA. Also don't have time right now while studying for finals.View attachment 70649
I was talking to @TheBritton and this update has only came to Boost/VM users who are on MOAR. Sprint thinks you are on Sprint, and are trying to push your the OTA. Since you are rooted, and have cwm, it will not take. Boost and VM 4.4 has not dropped yet. Two reasons why this is true. First, there's no kernel source code on Samsung's open source website, and two, the updates to Boost and VM always have a different number/letter designator, since they always drop later. And there's been nothing in the news from any sources about it being out yet.
Barebones gets the notification as well but I knew it was because it thinks I'm on sprint. If you Odin the sprint update, I believe you did?, will you still be able to take the Boost version? Not sure why you would or need to but curious.
There is no "Boost version." I did flash the Sprint ND8, yes. As of now, it's the only 4.4.2 OTA out for the s3 that I have seen or know of.
Sorry for not being clear. I meant when, or if, Boost releases a 4.4.2 update for its variant of the s3.
Looks like Cnexus and crew have got the Sprint update working properly. After reading the credits, I saw that you are part of that crew. Thanks for your hard work bro.
Will you be updating this thread with a version for Boost or are we gonna need to use the Sprint version?
Thanks man. It was definitely a collaborative effort. Now that we've "cracked" it, the minute the Boost/VM OTA drops and someone can snag me a tar, I'll build them. I'm running Sprint's right now and it's running smooth. However, the days of updating builds and still hiding from Knox are over I'm afraid.
Warranty only last for so long after that Knox is meaningless.
It comes down to is will samsung do warranty repairs for hardware issues if the knox is tripped. If they'll still do repairs then who cares.
By the way how long are our phones under warranty?
