[Q] Wifi Tether not working on Galaxy S3 4.3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 running android 4.3 on Verizon.
When I start the tether, android-wifi-tether (I can't post links, I am a new user. Forum limits. Search google)
I get the error "Tethering started with errors! Please check 'Show log'."
I have searched and searched... No luck.
Model number: SCH-I535
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: I535VRUCML1
Kernel version: 3.0.31
Build number: JSS15J.I535VRUCML1
Hardware version: I535.10
Any other info needed?
Anyone have any clue how to get this wifi tether to work? I like it becouse I can limit the usage in MB's. After so the LIMIT it shuts down to keep from going over my 10GB plan
It worked on my other S3 running 4.1.2. The phone was damaged or I would of kept that one.

If i was u. I would (assuming u saaferooted) install Safestrap and flash one of the 4.3roms. They come with the hot spot hack... How that helps u.

Nexus S: 3G issues and Updating Issues

Hi guys I'm new to forums so bear with me. I have had the gsm nexus s that I use on t mobile for quite a long time. Ever since I bought it won't connect to 3G and is also stuck on 2.3.4 and wont update, and now that I hear it's getting Jellybean im starting to get a bit annoyed. I've tried all kinds of stuff I have seen in forums but nothing ever works so I'll get down to specifics. Here's the "About phone"
model: nexus s
android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9020AUCKE1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80 [email protected] #1
build number: GTJ61
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you

Root S3 international, asking for help. (JRO03C.I9300XXDLIH)

Hallo,
I would like some help rooting my S3.
I'm confused on which root method to use.
I do not want to flash a custom rom, just gain root acces.
Obviously I don't want to brick my expensive new phone, that's why I'm asking the experts here before I do anything.
Here are the full specs:
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.1.1
Baseband version: I9300XXDLID
Kernel version: 3.0.31-256827 ([email protected] #1)
Build number: JRO03C.I9300XXDLIH
Notice how the baseband version has a 'D' at the end, while the build number has an 'H'.. Don't know what it means but it might be worth mentioning.
What would be the best method for rooting my phone? Which package and which version of Odin do I use?
Thanks,
David

Anyone? Or am I posting in the wrong section of the forum? I know there a lot of rooting threads out there, but none of them list my specific build number. It's an unlocked international S3 bought in Belgium btw.
If you have any info, please share.
Thanks,
D.

[Q] Sprint-Samsung Galaxy SIII SPH-L710 -- S3 Unified Root (WiFi will not turn on)

I have a Sprint SPH-L710 Samsung Galaxy S3 that I rooted with "SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0 Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE". Everything went smooth, achieved root, Bluetooth works, but WiFi toggle won't even turn on or connect to internet. There's a FAQ on his thread about the "Bluetooth + WiFi" not working, but I don't have any custom ROM's flashed, at least that I'm aware of. I'm new to rooting. If anybody could help me figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated. If I posted in the wrong place, I apologize. Thanks
Model Number: SPH-L710
Android Version: 4.1.2
Build Number: JZO54K.L710VPBMB1
I have the same phone and experienced that with a custom ROM. But that aside, I rooted with v6 of the root method you describe and have had no problems. I am extra new at all this but would suggest to re flash and if the problem persists try formatting the /system folder before maybe

[Q] Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 for use as a dedicated GPS

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 that is now sitting unused since I upgraded to the S5.
The S3 is an:
SCH-I535
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband version I535OYUDNE1
Kernal version 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
Build number KOT49H.I535VRUDNE1
What I would like to do is make this phone a dedicated GPS using various mapping apps like Locus Pro, OSMand, Here and others. The phone was rooted and I returned it to stock and it updated to 4.4.2. I would like to re-root so that I can take advantage of the external SD card. Can someone give me some advice on where to find the correct root and also what stock apps I can delete without affecting the GPS location functions?
Thanks in advance and I apologize if I placed this in the wrong category.

Towelroot would be your best option for root, unfortunately I can't help much with the GPS, I'd suggest using maps but what to disable I can't direct you there as I'm not on the locked bootloader

Will Towel root work with version 4.4.4., Kernal version 3.4.0 dated Sep 14, 2014? I don't want an expensive brick.

That I'm unsure of, I'm almost sure that the S3 ended up on 4.4.2 and not 4.4.4 but I could be wrong

Can a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3, I535, VRUCNC1 be rooted? What worked for you?

I got a Verizon Galaxy S3 i535 a couple of years ago. It was initially VRUCML1. I rooted it using guides from xda. It was upgraded to the current VRUCNC1. It ran 4.3. Several days ago, while using it as a debugging device on AndroidStudio, it bricked. The only successful solution I found was from a very helpful YouTube video "Unbrick HARD BRICKED Galaxy S 3 on Verizon (i535, CDMA).mp4".
I've unsuccessfully tried to re-root it, using about half a dozen, or more, guides. The inital rooting was successful, I think because the phone came with VRUCML1. There appears to be a lot of conflicting information -- even here on xda -- about whether or not VRUCNC1 can be rooted, as it is. Is it possible? If so, what worked?
Here is the data on my phone:
Device name: SCH-I535
Model number: SCH-I535
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version

Yes it is rootable via towelroot
Sent from my Nexus 5
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try!
Updating my post. The towelroot works! I wasn't aware of it at all prior to this because I rooted a couple of years ago using an entirely different method that no longer works because it was originally made for VRUCML1 rather than the VRUCNC1 I'm running now.
I originally was perplexed because, using Mozilla on my phone, the "tr.apk" from the towelroot.com site displayed text-only. I thought the anti-virus was a problem so I turned that off but still no luck until I came across a post in which someone said to switch the phone browser to Opera and download it that way. This worked.
It was well worth the donation.
