ive been looking around for information about updating the bootloader in my S3....its unlocked but it doesn't seem to want to flash the latest roms and from what ive been reading it seems the bootloader is the issue
any help would be appreciated
Um you can't update the bootloader on the S3. Maybe you meant recovery? Certain recoveries in the past had issues flashing stuff. Go grab GooManager and update TWRP using that app. Maybe that will fix your issue.

You can update the bootloader, can you link the thread that suggests that? Usually it isn't needed to run custom roms.

I would be interested in seeing a VZW GS3 bootloader image. Pretty sure none exist

Hmm, maybe I'm thinking of a bootchain.

Bootloader image

I'm pretty sure there's only one version of the unlocked boot loader.

thanks for the help....im trying to update to the latest liquidsmooth version and it continues to fail when i try to flash it.... from what i read it seems to be something with the bootloader. im currently running the latest recovery and goomanager
Just curious what would happen if this were done on a rooted upgraded device?

You can't. Fastboot won't allow the version downgrade.
I am not talking about downgrading.
What I am talking about pulling the 12.15.15 recovery from the OTA to flash.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
I believe that is fine to do. It would just allow you to enter recovery again. It wouldn't necessarily allow you to take an ota successfully, I don't think. Some changes are made to /system after you root.

So why couldn't be flash the system.img to return to stock unrooted?
From my understanding the KK update completely formats the partitions during install.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
This has happend to many times,im starting to get pissed as the only way to fix it is to flash complete stock from pc and i have to start over, this is the 4th time its happening, anyone how how to fix? its pretty urgent, :/

Okai, Thanks alot bro,
I need twrp root for my sprint galaxy s6 edge on 5.1.1. All of the twrp recoveries ive tried don't work. And I've searched this forum and all others for my device and to no avail.
Can someone share a link to a working recovery so I can root my device?

Well if you've searched all threads then you would see that currently there is no twrp nor root available yet. They're still working on it. But if you want to help out, you can try this TWRP and report back. And did you mean G925P?

When using Odin be sure to hold down power, home, and volume up before it reboots

If you are stuck on the boot screen, you will need to reflash the stock recovery again with odin. The one for T-mobile works with our phone. You can get it here:

I'm not stuck on it. I was able to return to my room by reseting

I need the stock kernal for my device. Can someone help me with that? I'm going to try a unikernal but i need a backup plan. If it works through Odin to that would be fantastic?

For Sprint
Non rooted flash file. Flash Magisk or Super SU if you want root.

Is this for LS997 or a different Variant ?
cool,another one to play with
the sprint V20 is LS997, though
is this for a different phone or did you just make a mistake naming the file?

Curious if this helps with the chronic bluetooth connection issues this phone has from zv6 onwards? I've rolled back and am still still running on zv5 simply because bluetooth connectability with my headphones, pebble, fitbit, and others just won't stay connected/reconnect when needed. Zv5 is the only reliable ROM for bluetooth for me.
Edit - im on LS997 (sprint)
will this work with AT&T H910? thank u
