SOLVED - How to flash the Proper (Fixed) Stock Rooted Image
Description: This is 100% stock with just Superuser/su added and overwrites every partition to stock but keeps your personal data, apps, settings the same (just like the stock factory image).
Samsung Official USB Drivers - Link
ODIN v3.07 - Link
Proper Rooted Stock Image - Download or (Torrent Link) - MD5 = be4350a56e739eaf7a4184352d653a7b
1. Install USB drivers
2. Download ODIN v3.07
3. Backup your data
4. OPTIONAL: Do a factory reset (highly recommended if you have issues with your current ROM)
***WARNING: Step #4 will erase internal storage but not microSD card***
5. Download the above Proper Rooted Stock Image file and extract the tar file from inside it
6. Boot phone into ODIN mode (See here for how-to)
7. Flash the extracted tar file using ODIN v3.07
You should now have a like new condition stock image and rooted with all issues resolved.
Credit goes completely to mrRobinson for creating this image for us. Thank you sir. (Original Post) + (Details How It Was Made)
To Install Official CWM Recovery
1. After following above process, download "Rom Manager" from the Play Store
2. Open Rom Manager
3. Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
4. Select "Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon)" down at the bottom and let it flash
5. Once completed you can reboot to CWM by selecting "Reboot into Recovery" from Rom Manager
ORIGINAL REQUEST
After various testing, it seems many users are experiencing various issues with the rooted System.img provided by the OP in this thread. Many report findings of "Sprint related elements" as well as various keyboard issues and things not working as they should. I wish I had the knowledge myself but on behalf of the community, I'd like to request for someone with knowledge of this guide to remake the same rooted system.img as in the original but this time confirmed with using the original stock Verizon SCH-I535 image downloadable here.
I'm sure many of us here would highly appreciate this effort and we can also carry out further testing as many users reported that soon as they flash back to that stock image, their issues have disappeared and everything starts working properly.
I will quote another user in reference to this:

Just formatted back to stock until issues can be resolved. The stock image (which I'm told this root is + su) lost all Sprint instances and any strange extra options. Also the Keyboards are back to functioning. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I feel that the root image has more going on with it than what we are told.

Hardly helpful for those who already flashed it... I just want it fixed, or a work around. If it's something as simple as uninstalling a few things, or replacing some databases, I'm fine with that. I just don't want to redo everything, and re-restore everything with Titanium Backup.

Not to be rude but we're not. That's why I'm making this request to remake with proper image. Because we are skeptical of the original one that was made. I PMed the OP of that thread and he claims to have used that image but in user's experience something is definitely different from stock, hence we're requesting a remake to test this.

If you'd like, you can flash the stripped version, and I have a second zip that will restore all the stripped apps.
I did have some odd issues with SwiftKey crashing after flashing the image. Not sure if that has to do with it or not.

Useless post.
What would be useful is someone with the requisite knowledge being able to remake this exploit with the Verizon source in order to have maximum compatibility.

Are you talking about the system.img from invisibleks first image?
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28402010&postcount=1
Or the stripped and rooted one?
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28459565&postcount=1
I think the first one invisiblek made is pretty much what you are asking for. Remember, there's no SCH-I535 source code out there for people to build a system image from. These images are hacked system images from the stock image (found here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I535 ). One can't really "remake" the system image until we can fully bypass the encrypted and locked bootloader.
If you want to roll your own system image with the su binary and SuperUser you can follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27801304&postcount=1
They seem pretty straight forward.
However, I'm pretty sure that's what invisiblek did for his/her first rooted image (the one that isn't stripped).
Hope that helps. I can't do much of anything till my SGS3 arrives tomorrow.

The one in bold is what this request is about actually. Basically to remake that. Because the non-stripped rooted system.img that invisiblek is the one causing most issues for people and people have noted things in there that are not in the factory image. I tried to follow that guide myself but I must be missing something because most of those commands do not work for me. Mind you this is on a Windows PC.
I could do it, but it'd require more time than whats it worth. Sorry.

You sir are a better man than me for being so humble in response to these replies.
I'm assuming invisiblek DID in fact use the VZW image if the phone still had all the VZW nonsense in it (VZ Navigator, for example) as that would not be found in the Sprint image. Equally, if "all" he did was follow the steps in the link, then someone else doing the same is likely to produce the same result.

Unfortunately I do not have a linux box so the guide does not work for me.
It's already been diff'd. There is no difference between the stock image and the rooted one here except for su and binaries:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29256-ro...erizon-galaxy-s-iii/page__st__110#entry793038
I'm guessing VZW has done more to the stock image on the phone than the stock one that is available for download, which is causing these differences.

Considering I loaded the first root mod, then reverted to the image that it was created from and have 2 different setups I'd say two different files were used.

If its already been diff'd with the original, maybe the sammy-updates file ain't so good.
Hmm, I wonder if we dump the system.img from an untouched stock phone (like the one I get tomorrow), and inject that img with su, would that work out any better? I'll look into this tomorrow.
I'll also take a look at re-rolling the system.img from the sammy-updates files in the meantime.
I'll report back when and if I have a viable image.

According to users, flashing that sammy-update firmware got rid of all the issues and the Sprint related stuff. Just, FYI.
If anyone is up for the remake, you might want to try making it out of this one. Not sure if it's any different but it's from another well known Samsung firmware site.

THANK YOU!!
Sorry my first post is a plea for help, but here we are.
I flashed the latest (2013-5-10) version of ..Cory..'s unofficial Cyanogenmod this morning and I'm having issues with video, including my camera viewfinder. Both Youtube and my camera lag to the point of uselessness, though audio on videos plays just fine.
Also sometimes my desktop icons stick around when I pull up the recent apps or notification drawer.
Has anyone else experienced either one of these? I'd post this in the thread for the ROM, but I need to hit my post count first.
And lest I sound ungrateful, big thanks to ..Cory.. for keeping things moving forward while the official version is on hiatus!

Check MD5 of your ROM, make sure it matches up if you haven't.
Also, If you haven't done so, try fastboot erase cache prior to wiping and flashing.

That command clears the cache for fastboot and recovery, this will ensure that recovery is properly wiping your partitions so be sure to do it before wiping and flashing your rom.

Do you know a decent guide that includes this step? None of the ones I used previously included this step. I get this is an ADB command, but I try to avoid using ADB directly as much as possible due to noobness. Not sure what state my phone has to be in to use the command, etc.

There are no guides because it's assumed that you are familiar with ADB and fastboot if you are on this forum.
fastboot and adb don't rely on states.
fastboot is a tool for pushing and pulling information/files to and from your phone while in bootloader
ADB is a tool that allows you to access your phone via a command line shell interface.
If this is confusing to you, why would you root your phone? And I'm not trying to be rude, this isn't an iphone jailbreak, rooting is COMPLETELY different and can be dangerous if you don't understand. Avoiding adb and fastboot does not make it any less dangerous either.

I considered not asking for advice, but then I thought "Naw, he's already here. I'm sure he won't mind." My apologies for forcing you to deal with my inexperience.
I used the word "state" incorrectly, not remembering at the time it had a specific programming meaning. You still managed to answer my question, though, pointing out my phone needs to be in the bootloader. You also cleared up that fastboot is its own tool rather than just a command used in ADB. Thank you for both those things. I'll figure it out from here.
As for why I'd want to root my phone? Who wouldn't? I don't want to be stuck with whatever AT&T thinks is good enough. I'm sorry if I'm making this club less exclusive, but if people here are going to hack together all this great stuff and give it away for free, I'm going to take advantage of that.

You're misunderstanding, the exclusivity of this site makes no difference to me, I want everyone to be able to root and do cool things with their phones, hell, it's your phone, you bought it, own it, you should be able to do whatever you want with it. You didn't need me to tell you what fasboot and adb are. They're well documented tools with help manuals included. Even a quick google search would tell you everything you need to know about them and more.
You chose to ignore them and hope it won't affect you that you're not understanding what you're doing to your phone. You ask in here hoping for the quick and lazy way to accomplish your task without taking the time to learn what you're doing. I love helping people that's why I'm here posting every day. but you're taking advantage of my good nature and not trying to help yourself by reading, learning and understanding what you're doing.
I wish you luck and I don't want to discourage you for asking for help here when you need it, but please take the time to help yourself first.

This is my first time with OnePlus devices. Do they typically release their factory images or recovery images similar to Google for the Pixel/Nexus lines?
I see they released the OTA but that doesn't contain the boot.img needed for Magisk.
Thanks in advanced!

I see they released the OTA but that doesn't contain the boot.img needed for Magisk.
Thanks in advanced!

Here is a link to the full 9.5.3 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79545506&postcount=3 if you want to update past that you just download and install on the phone. (This is the Global firmware not T-Mobile)
Apparently OnePlus no longer releases full factory images, however, an awesome XDA member posts them for us!

I use it to clean flash, rather than factory resetting / flashing full OTA.

Great! I'll keep my eyes on this. I saw someone has released a python script that allows unpacking the OTA files so I might give this a go as well. https://github.com/cyxx/extract_android_ota_payload

Does the UK site offer something different? I have been monitoring the US site and see that the OTA were posted but nothing along the lines of recovery/factory images.

Isn't this the full image right here https://support.oneplus.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4312
just use the payload dumper to extract all images from payload.bin
download

I believe so, but it's all inside the payload.bin
If you read the OP of the link I provided, that's where I got my information from.
I'm just going to stick to that because it's what I've used in the past and I know it works well!
