Root [Boost Mobile] Tri-Band S3 (SPH-L710T)

droidmodnoob · Nov 15, 2014

I've installed conquest singularity and then updated the kernel to the touchwiz KitKat 4.4 version found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946 rotation and everything else works fine. I don't know if the rotation issue was solved before, in that case I'm sorry guys for wasting your time!

Oh my god! You fixed the only issue my phone had! Improper rotation! You fixed it! I will add this to the OP first thing in the morning. Thank you so much!

With the kernel he linked, everything works. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi tether, camera, all of if. And best of all, proper rotation!

That, my friend, is BADASS!!!!!

DWILSON48625 · Nov 16, 2014

We must test this kernel with wicked X next and what ever roms we can to verify compatability!

Great find!

I merged all the threads with the (T) model to keep them together so they don't mess up anyone using the non-(T) model.

Try to post in this thread only, everyone will see it when they log on.
I asked if they can start your own section, maybe they will?

morro · Nov 16, 2014

Is my upload still working? It is my first upload. Sugestions will be appreciated.
I don't know how to make a flashable zip but if you have acces to your sd card or external, you can put the folder in there and use Philz to restore the system, it worked for me.

If anybody has a better way or easy way, please share!

Thanks!

That would be amazing. I never imagined this thread getting so popular, but people came to it for the same reason I made it, and now we've got so many names in this thread, I can't count them. It would be great if we got our own section, simply due to the user base of this phone, and the fact that it is clearly NOT a L710 lol

I already planned to try a variety of ROMs to see if this kernel works with them lol

Edit

Our brothers over at XDA are reinventing the wheel... This thread has come so far, and we've learned so much, even how to fix the Conquest rotation issue, and they're still trying to figure out which ROMs are good to go on this phone... People saying to flash ND8 fixes... It's a pity, really...

I can't get it to work on my phone. I put it in "Clockwork" then into "Backup".... when I go to flash it into Restore from /sd, it says, "No files found"

Did you put it into your SD card or internal memory? I just usually try both options in recovery... lol

Internal.. Does it have to be a zip file?

EDIT: I think I found the problem... It was in "Clockwork" then "Clockwork" then "Backup"

Lol Pretty sure thats the issues

I imagine that's what it was lol
No, when do a restore, it's partition files... Not zips.
The only time it needs to be a zip file is when you're installing a zip from SD lol

cwhatever · Nov 16, 2014

I downloaded it and it is only 50 something kbs which would only be the empty folders. It should be alot bigger than that, so it is not done right. He needs to try to redo it.

Still saying "No files found".. am I suppose to have a separate "Backups"file?
Along with the "Clockwork" one. I just noticed that too.

Plug phone into USB (Or insert card into card reader, whichever you do)
Open the mounted partition (SD Card)
create folder "Clockworkmod"
Open it
Create folder "backup"
Everything you downloaded, should be in a folder (e.g. All the tar, tar.a, tar.b should be in a folder, you can name it "stock")
So it should be /clockworkmod/backup/stock/*
Reboot to recovery, backup and restore, restore from /sdcard1
Select Stock, then yes.

I have always had a problem uploading to dropbox backups. I have used mediafire to do those. Maybe someone else knows the answer to that, sorry.
