Hi guys, I rooted a friends s3 to enable aws on it and it was working , yesterday she calls me and tells me that it is not working anymore. So I check it and notice there is no root access.
I try to install it using CFRoot . odin flashes fine , I see it running on the phone but once you boot in Supersu states it is not rooted.
Next tried a slew of programs, towelroot apk but nothing works.
Next tried to factory reset, boot in to twrp and I get asked for a password, hit cancel and I get in to the menu. I try to mount the sd card and it fails, trying to install zip from sd fails, factory reset seems to work, wipe data fails and ask for a decrypt code.
I also tried using CWM recovery with basically the same results.
THe last thing I tried was downloading the same firmware 4.4.2 and flashing with odin, it says successful but after rebooting, the phone is exactly the same, nothing changed , it has the same apps, same wallpaper.
I am wondering if my friend let her son play with the phone and turned on some kind of encryption or security that is stopping it from getting wiped back to stock.
