I would stick with 2.6.3.1. Version 2.7 has problems with the S3 anyway.

I see. Was on it before I got my phone back, ran fine for m. What kinds of issues is it having?
Not able to backup and restore dependably for a lot of folks.
Version 2.7 zip is on the OP btw.
The current odinable tar versions are located here:

Also, if the official zip or tar of v2.7.0.0 doesn't work for you (they didn't for me but did for some others), the multi-boot version (there's a thread here somewhere about booting multiple versions of Android) worked for me and a few other people, although again not for still others.
The same was the case for me with v2.6.3.1.
I don't know if anyone has tested TWRP with the TouchWiz 4.4.2 update, FYI, if you decide to upgrade.

Cool. Will my backup still be there even though I update to 2.7?
Yes but I would still keep the 2.6.3.1 flashable zip on SD in case you can't restore with 2.7. At least you can flash back to the older recovery if you need to.
OK. Restored fine for me though when i was using it but I'll keep it on deck.
OK I just looked I'm running android 4.3 with Wicked v10 ROM and TWRP version v2.6.3.1, I just installed it this morning using the downloadable installer and so far there's no problems, I even did a nan droid back up using it

Glad these are here. I heard so many good things about philz recovery but it didn't work with cm updater.

Philz doesn't work with any automatic updaters, as far as I know. You have to know where your update zip is saved and manually flash it. No big deal to me. I actually prefer it that way. In my opinion, Philz is the best, under the hood.
Is it safe to use and install xposed on sprint galaxy s3 sch-s960l?? If is where could i fine modules for my phone? Cant find any!
Once your update download is finished, you can boot into recovery and flash the zip file found in the folder /sdcard/cmupdater and flash it in PhilZ.
PhilZ is the best in my humble opinion, as well.

I don't believe Xposed is device specific. JUST BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ROM BEFORE INSTALLING. That way if anything should go wrong, you can restore your last working setup.
A SCH-S960L user reported Xposed modules working on his device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357703&page=2
I found thay info in under 5 minutes. Remember, search is your best bet for questions that have probably already been asked before.
The Xposed Installer can be downloaded here:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Also, remember that your device is not a Sprint S3 (different model #), so what works on our phones, may not work on yours.

Once you download and install, you can browse from within the app itself.

Does this mean i shouldn't be looking under sprint even if it uses sprint towers? I can get 4g and everything with it

Mayb i was just looking for the wrong info from my phone.. I have a problem being to specific with research. Thank you tho!!
No, you need a custom recovery to make backups. Samsung's stock recovery will not allow this. Also, in order for Xposed to work, your phone needs to be rooted. I suspect you have not done this either, then?
The reason this forum is for the Sprint S3 specifically is, because it is referencing the SPH-L710, the model # for the Sprint S3. You need to make sure you are getting recoveries and ROMs that support your device. D2LTE ROMs should support your device fine. However, the wrong recovery could hard brick your phone, as it will be writing to the wrong partition in your phone's memory.
Also, I don't want to clutter up this development thread any longer with Q&A. This is for development. In the future, pose your questions in the Sprint S3 General/Q&A forum, and Sprint S3 users will do their best to help you.
