well i dont have root on this device yet... its not letting me read/pull it..

"cannot open for read: Permission denied"

 

well if i root the phone then it wont be stock... i cant do nothing in cwm/twrp and i still cant dd it in stock recovery... im stumped... someone else will have to do it.

 

here is an easy .bat file to have it build an odin file on your phone
(it should work, but i cant test it... so use the file at your own risk)
the creation of the file will be no risk just using odin

plug phone into computer
click the bat on your computer
press any key
wait... could take like 15-20 mins
when done look in the folder on your computer and you will find PDA.tar
that should work in odin
good luck

Google sprint L710 root and use theirs.

I'm using twrp and I'm having zero problems.

I'm surprised there's still no development but I'm enjoying my stock s3.

 

Anyone try this yet?

I feel the same way I'm just kinda pissed because I hate touchwizs lag

 

Will I need to flash CWM or TWRP to be able to ADB during recovery or will it work with the stock recovery?

 

Try it with complete stock, it probably won't let you mount so it won't work but is worth the try... pulling the file is harmless... try again after flashing recovery but before flashing root, that should work and will give a stock boot img... all else fails do it after root and that will at least give an as close to stock ss possible. ...

For some reason my recovery has failed to work on three different S3's... I can't even get adb access in recovery with root... I have to root using sprints unsecure boot img using SGS3toolkit, so my boot.img/ kernel is spirnts and Its not the same, some things don't work.

A nandroid from cwm is easy I am suprised no one has put a copy out... but odin backup it by far superior, and for me (as of now) its the only security I have.

 

Yeah it wouldn't do diddly squat with the stock recovery

Here's my CWM backup zipped for ease of transfer -

Just unzip then move the folder within (named 1970-01-01.01.29.32) to your clockworkmod/backup location to restore

Should I make a new thread for it?

I cant get this to work for me anyone else having a problem with this?
