@pOsSuM72

Look here and you will find it. http://androidforums.com/forums/boost-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root.2291/
Thats more so for people to have in case they really mess their device up but can still access recovery.

i am not having issues with my phone just simply trying to pull information for it and upload it so the devs can have it accessible if they decide they want to work on this phone....thx for the inquiry though~~


Im trying Conquest it just sitting at the Singularity screen for about 10 mins tried 3 times now.Any help?Also my back up is all borked up.
if your back up is messed there is a file i uploaded and kdude63 re-hosted that is the stock tar.md5 it will will revert your phone to factory as if you just opened the box and turned it on for the first time... its an official firmware from samsung pushed through kies

I tried the stockrooted flashable didnt boot it was stuck on samsung screen forever.Dang it wheres the tar at i cant get anything to boot now.

more specific please....if its the samsung logo with a pulsing blue led then be patient and let it sit as it may take a while
if its not pulsing and just says samsung then boot into recovery format/wipe and try to reinstal maybe you over looked something?

i copied and pasted the command u posted ...could i have done something wrong??? would u like me to try again...sorry for the stupid questions....but whats the point of me pulling that file and why couldnt it be pulled from the stock tar if whats on the phone came from whats in the tar file?? and why does the class of sd matter i just have a cheap 16gig card not sure of its class...again sorry for the dumb question .... (my name says it all!!! lol)

The class of the card matters because slower cards have a lower chance of being imaged successfully in order to be bootable by the phone. I don't know if it's something you did because it could also be one of several other reasons.
It has to be pulled from the phone itself because it contains partition table information that allows it to be booted from which the stock tar does not.

For some reason i ended up screwing up everything.Only thing i had was download mode (Which is awesome.)Finally got the tar downloaded and then couldnt get odin 307 to do crap.I ended up using Odin 304 reinstalled drivers about 20 times rebooted PC 2o times and now back up and running.I have been rooting and flashing phones for about 3/4 years but dang this L710T has been the worst.Dumbest_Noob Im a happily married man to a beautiful wife but hey I love you for getting this tar up LOL.Thanks brother.Might have saved a divorce LOL Just kidding of course.

i was under the impression that the pit file was a make up of the partitions

This model of the s3 really does need its own thing.I hope its gets up and going.Sure wish i knew more about all this stuff to get a working kernel or whatever it takes to get all these roms running as they do on the L710.

Its going to happen. The mods/admin are aware we need a subforum and devs have taken notice. One is already helping and thats why we got our first stock rom. This phone is the next evolution of the S3.
