So once odin says passed take battery out boot recovery and root phils?

 

[morro]

Yes, I didn't take battery out but you can do that.

 

[LordRich]

Watched some vids. When im in recover how do i apply root just click recover option or do i need to go into phils setting and do something..also do i need to do anything specisl with sd or will odin take care of all thst

 

[morro]

When you boot into Philz recovery, just hit "Reboot System Now" and it will ask you to apply root or you can go to Philz settings, hit third option "Re - root System (SuperSU), yes, apply root

Thank you for your help. I will be trying this out tonight..once rooted i want to put carbon rom on it as well. Should i do these two together and one after the other.

 

[morro]

You're welcome, I would apply root first then flash the rom just to make sure root works, you can do both at the same time. You should get root with this method.

 

[LordRich]

Last question unless I mess it all up..do i need to make a backup of anything during these processes?

 

[morro]

Definitely! Sorry I didn't mention that before, YES! Make a back up first, boot in recovery mode, go to backup/recovery and back up your system to ext sd card or the location of your choice

 

[morro]

Would you let me know how did it go?

 

[LordRich]

Yes. Charging phone right now.. do the backup before I do anything right. Once got it on my SD do Odin.

Also I took back off and it says l710t. In my phone it says l710. App I dled its l710 and my phone says that...that normal?

 

[morro]

Well, if you're have s3 triband (SPH-L710T) It shouldn't be a problem but if you have s3 (SPH-L710) it may not work I'm not sure about that maybe someone else in this thread can help you with that, if your phone is L710T then it should be normal

[LordRich]

It worked! Thank you so much!

 

[LordRich]

Luckily, I did the backup. I put wrong carbon rom for my device on sd...backing it up now. Any ideas on which one to use?

Update: Rooted and Installed Carbon. Sorry for hogging thread...thank you so much for all your help. #LifeSaver

I used Odin to flash the stock tar

Where did you find the stock tar for that model? Can you post a dropbox I've looked everywhere?

Ok I feel dumb just read this from the beginning of thread... here goes nothing or something great!

 

[Nazra7]

THANKS SO MUCH.. got my wifi back and everything. Too bad I burned a gig of 4g in one day but hey it was a learning experience.

 

[morro]

No problem! So you find the tar? I just pulled the latest OTA update stock tar for the Boostmobile SPH-L710T using Kies

I will provide the link for anyone who needs to go back to stock with the latest OTA!

I really don't know what is new with this update, all I noticed new PRL 33041 and Device Name (it can be changed, i think)
