Just curious to know if there are any vzw S3 owners that are still unrooted AND on 4.1.2? I am. I assume there aren't many of us left. My reason for still being on 4.1.2, I keep deferring the ota but I become too lazy to invest into rooting but still keeping my hopes that one day I will have the will power to do so!

I'm rooted and on 4.1.2 deodex stock. The kernel is unlocked still. I got rid of the constant update warning by deleting the one recommended file. This phone is so old I don't remember all the steps to get here anymore. I'm sure the threads that I followed are still here buried so deep cause they're so old and ancient. Sorry, can't help you find them.
I'm super happy with it and with my unlimited data and a fully working TiBU Pro and tethering, I have no reason to update. Until I'm ready for the next greatest phablet sometime after next month.

Wow man, I kept my backup for 4.1.2 but never looked back on rooting and unlocking, which you still have the option to do. I would not take any OTAs as the BootLoader will be locked permanently and word is verizon has been finding ways to block root
Here's the thread for those of you still on 4.1.2 and looking to unlock and root, this tool is pretty simple but you need a pc

People running 4.1.2 should do the following if they want to run deodexed 4.3 stock (locked bootloader stripped out) or 4.4.4 AOSP roms like CM/PA/AOKP/etc.
1. Towelroot to root
2. EZ-Unlock to unlock bootloader with LE6 bootloader
3. Install TWRP recovery through TWRP Manager
4. Flash invisiblek's MF1 firmware
5. Flash the NE1 radio (I don't think a zip of it by itself exists)
6. Flash your rom of choice

Agree somewhat with that. Casual works just fine for those on 4.1.2 also. I used it when I unlocked and rooted and never looked back, it's also in the previous post before yours

Alternatively you could just look up one click methods in google. You should just be able to click a button and walk away. I remember it even putting on a recovery as well...

Just to answer the original question, you are not alone. I am also unrooted on 4.1.2 for the same reason. Thanks to the others here for posting tips so I'll know where to look when I have time.

Still rockin' Cleanrom 7! No joke..
My wife's been using the GS3 I gave her and I had it flashed to the stablest rom at the time.
It's getting some age on it for sure and acting wonky so I'm trying to figure out what I should do with it.. In the hunt for what to do to keep it a solid worker for the Mrs. Heck, last time I flashed anything it was that rom on this old GS3 to get her going. Yes, I went to the dark-side, so haven't been a flashoholic like my previous android days. So now I gotta learn up so I can fix this thing. Been a while.. huh
A testament though for Scott's kicking Cleanrom for this phone. What a beast to hang on so long and fairly decently on this phone.
What to do?
Considering trying to odin to a stock rom or something to do an OTA, which I know will lock it's b-loader, or some other option for a pretty solid TW updated rom of some kind.
Reading up now in here to find out.

Yup it sure can. As long as it's on 4.1.2 or earlier the bootloader can be unlocked. As far as rooting it can be rooted even up to 4.4.2

I think you missed posting in a couple hundred other threads...
Or you can just use viper4android, kill stagefright, and tell Verizon, "Thanks, but no thanks--I'm in this for _me_ now."
I am not entirely sure what that means, but man, the day when this contract ends cannot come soon enough.

Pretty sure it's still 5.0. I don't think the S5 will be getting any more updates, it's at the end of its software cycle since 5.0, this update was only released for the stagefright fix.

No. Verizon's own custom OE1 is the reason that it's not rootable. Once you have the OE1 Kernel or higher, you cannot root unless they find another exploit. I doubt they will considering it's an older phone that's already being phased out in terms of support.

Take it back. You have a "new" phone that basically has no support for it anymore. If you have something to use currently other than the S5, I'd consider waiting till the new Google Nexus 5 or 6 2015 edition coming out this year. That should have root and an unlocked bootloader (Google wouldn't stand for Verizon locking down their phone).

You would have to find a phone you like, go to that forum, and check. I believe any phone with an unlocked bootloader can always be rooted? And I'm pretty sure the Google nexus 5/6 (the old ones) will always be rootable.
I'm jumping ship from Samsung (I wanted to move to the Note at one point, but Samsung screwed up big time with their phones trying to make it like an iPhone, and with Samsung/Verizon in bed with locking up root/bootloader).

There's a search bar at the top of XDA where you can enter a device. It also allows you to specify which carrier as well. This is from the M9 forum. Says you need a JAVA card which is expensive, but it unlocks the phone/allows root. You can also donate (usually $20-60) users to do it for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t-s-off-how-root-s-off-verizon-m9-20-t3123178
I have no idea about the M8, seems to be the same, have to have S-OFF or whatever the heck that means. Do research yourself if you want the phone.

Follow the instructions in muniz_ri's thread. He hasn't released the deodexed version though. You should never take ota when rooted, and you should actually have it disabled as soon as you root. One user reported that they ota updated without losing root, but I'd never recommend it.
There is no benefit in disabling it. You have to authorize any update, so it cannot overwrite it on its own. The only reason to disable it is the popup after an update comes out which can be stopped by deleting the update.zip then having the install fail.
Two or three updates ago, I lost the ability to rotate my screen unless an app forces it to rotate, now with this update my phone no longer reads sd cards, and in fact boot loops if there is one inserted. I've done a lot of searching, both when the initial problem manifested, and now with the new problem, but haven't seen anyone with a fix. Any suggestions?

Coming from my nexus 5, and loved having my hotspot. Although it was on a custom rom, etc.

HotSpot is very doable... You will need root, but don't need a custom ROM to work. You could use a mod or custom kernel. I'm on VZW and have no problems using MOD's etc.

Up to you... The SkipSoft tool is nice because it automates steps necessary...Including the above link linked. Personally I manually do it, as I'm not running TWRP quite yet. It's still in its infancy and want the ability to sideload OTA's if I see fit.
SkipSoft tool can revert you back to the stock recovery, so you can still do what I've suggested. You just have to go through a few more steps. If this is your first time and you're not comfortable yet...Then use SkipSoft

I'm good with manually doing it, just wasnt sure which link I should be using. first or second. Guessing the second link. Then its a matter of using adb, no? This way dont have to deal with twrp and still get root, and get OTA updates.
Also, non of this requires me to unlock the bootloader right?
Wait I thought the hotspot mod didn't work on 7.1.1? I saw lots of talk saying it was broken and people had to remove the SIM and toggle hotspot to get it on now

2 things...Yes you have to have an unlocked bootloader. And you cannot take the December update before unlocking the bootloader if you're not on a Google phone. Is. Verizon, T-Mobile, etc 7.1.1 does not have a bootloader exploit.
I have root on 7.1.1 with tether mod and a few other goodies. But I unlocked the bootloader prior to updates
**EDIT** I stand corrected on the models. Doesn't have to be a "google" phone, but I do know Verizon and T-Mobile have restrictions for DePixel8

If you have Verizon then you had to be on 7.1 when you unlocked. You can't unlock once on 7.1.1. if the update was in the middle of installing you got extremely lucky that you unlocked before it installed

Correct, the short answer is no, but to expound slightly as to why and put you on the right track.
The bootloader needs to be unlocked on the Verizon variant (like the one I have) to gain root. However, the latest security update (December) patches for the exploit that we used to unlock the bootloader (DePixel8. ) So if you didn't unlock your bootloader prior to receiving the update, there are no current ways to unlock. Thus leaving ROOT a no go for now. You'll have to wait for the next bootlocker exploit.

I stand corrected on the models then. I have the VZW variant and knew there were limitations. I would have to go back and look, but maybe Verizon and T-mobile are the only ones...of course there may be others. Either way, yes, you have to have the bootloader unlocked prior. Happy Modding!

There is no Sprint variant. There is a Google variant and a Verizon variant and that's it. If you have the Google model the bootloader can be unlocked any time. If you have a Verizon model you can ONLY unlock bootloader when it's on 7.1. if you update to 7.1.1 before unlocking you will not be able to unlock.

Seem like I remember reading that this method has a couple of drawbacks, including losing it after updates. The systemless TetherMod I linked is "supposed" to withstand OTA's updates, which is important to me at this point. I installed it on 7.1, sideloaded the OTA to 7.11, rerooted and was off and running again.

Seem like I remember reading that this method has a couple of drawbacks, including losing it after updates. The systemless TetherMod I linked is "supposed" to withstand OTA's updates, which is important to me at this point.

Yea I learned that the hard way. I couldn't take the 7.1.1 ota until I flashed back to stock. But I have read if you just change the build prop back you can. I think I'm going to try that other method. I guess it is there forever and can withstand the ota's . I think anyways. Haven't tested it yet.

Prepare your devices fellas , 7.1.1 is about to roll out cause there's an article on bgr said so
I personally wanna wait 'til Xposed is compatible for nougat.

I don't see how a benchmark entry suddenly means official Nougat is rolling out anyway.
Yeah, that headline is hyperbole. It's a good indicator that it's getting closer. Not that it is about to our is rolling out.
Oh look, another Nougat roll out thread with the same image as all of the others.

Your Phone will give the message that there is an update to new software. But as soon you will try to install it, it will fail.
OTA can't be installed on custom recovery, you need te be on stock rom, stock recovery and unrooted.
There are a few posts on the general section to go back to scratch, or just wait till a developer makes an stock based rom on 7.1.

Do you mean FlashFire? flashfire warns you that Motorola devices are Experimental.
Isn't it risky to from 6 to 7 with flashfire? And sure you may not have Xposed Framework installed.

Flashfire is of course what I meant, Doh on my part!! Never had any issues with it working with my Moto X Style. I would imagine that Motorola have factored in that the majority of their users will still be running an out of date version of Android and that it will go from 6 to 7 with little if any issues. I'll be giving it a try from a custom 7.1.1 rom first before wiping my device and trying it that way, once (if!) it comes out of course.
Closed - more hapless misinformation
Ok guys so I was on pure Nexus forever and decided to finally upgrade. I upgraded to fire hound only to find out tethering via WiFi and USB is broken. I have FoxFi and pda and even they are borked. I added the usual tethering=true line to the build prop and no dice. I flashed the tethering module with magisk, no dice.
Is this a rom issue or a known Oreo issue? Keep in mind I have natural 4g tethering in my TMobile plan by the way. I've been away a long time so please excuse my ignorance.
I have no problem tethering with the latest stock image.

You're not on custom room?
A stock image is not a custom "room".
Lol I meant rom. I may go back stock and see what's up. This is definitely annoying. My xl is still on pure Nexus because of stuff like this.
