[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KenLucky:
Alright..here it comes....first a gort explanation then the dumb?

Alright. I know that the Galaxy S3 is an old, and dated device. However, I love mine. Well, I did. For about a year it was my daughter's phone, so it remained stock. Some time during that year it was updated to 4.4.2 with the NJ2.

I have googled my brains out( sounds dirty huh?) but still haven't found a clear answer.

I want to root this phone and possibly lay wih a few roms. I have tried KingoRoot TowelRoot Odin and Cf Auto root and a even the twrp recovery method I found on a sketchy a$$ site. Nothing.

Now for the dumb question:

Is there a way to root this thing? Here's the info:

SGH-i747 , KitKat 4.4.2, Baseband is i747UCUFNJ2 Kernel is 3.4.0-1524807 dpi@SWHD7480#1 Aug 10 4:46:13 KST 2015

Build is KOT49H.I747UCUFNJS and finally

SE for droid status is Enforcing, SEPF_SAMSUNG-I76_4.4.2_0016 Mon Aug 10 14:45:23 2015

I have attempted to search this forum as well as multiple others for an acceptable answer. However I just can't find one. I feel like this whole mess is just beyond my dang fingertips.... All threads seem to point to pre NJ2/and methods fail at " Complete(write)failed" in Odin 3.10 please someone help me. If nthin elsetell me it's just physically or impossible to root this thing without flashing and entire ROM. I have extremely terrible cellular data and a ROM would take over 12 hours to download. I can't do that.....please, and thank you all for the knowledge and help thus forum provides I the community. When Google took GeoHot they hurt us.....: (

Thanx and apologies JIC I did mispost...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KenLucky:
Sorry, but I figured it out. KingoRoot apk first try thirty seconds. Kingoroot PC app didn't do squat. Since the first post I have rooted, flashed a CWM touch, and flashed to SlimKat 9 and am tickled with the results.

Besides, HC wasn't that great on tablets. ICS, now that is a different story, especially the Team EOS nightlies on the Xoom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I don't know the answer to this but so your question doesn't get lost I will give you my guess....

Looking at dnickdominic theme he has three main files in it - SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk.

I am willing to bet that if you extract those same files from the ROM.zip download for the ROM you are currently using and push them on your phone to replace the themed ones you will successful delete the theme.

Hopefully somebody else can chime in to call bull**** or confirm.

Take out your battery

Put your battery back into the phone

Hold Vol + and Vol - at the same time, and keep holding them

Press the power button and let it go (make sure you're still holding the vol keys)

Your phone should boot into CWM after a few seconds.

GB 2.3.6

I had upgraded to GB 2.3.6 from the SS site -with the kies - I think ther might be some corruption in it (based on my earlier post re: ss keypad.

Anyway I was wondering if I could redo the kies thing and how I would go about that as SamS says it would not work as the GB is up to date.

What about deleting the current instalation GB an re-installing GB from the kies? Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
• Install Super Manager from the Market

• Open Super Manager on your phone and go into ‘File Manager’.

• Hit Menu then ‘Setup’.

• Look for ‘Global Settings’ and select ‘ROOT’.

• Check ‘Enable ROOT function’.

• Back out of settings back ‘File Manager’ which will be the root of your sdcard.

• Find one of the .apk's you copied over.

• Long press the .apk and select ‘Copy’. You will have to do SystemUI.apk by itelf then do framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk together since they are going into different folders.

• Scroll back to the top of the root of your sdcard and hit ‘Back up level folder’ two times.

• Scroll down to ‘system’ and select.

For SystemUI.apk

• Select ‘app’.

• Hit menu then ‘Switch System R/W’ and select ‘R/W’ (which is probably is already set to that).

• Find the SystemUI.apk currently in the folder. Long press and delete.

• Now paste the new SystemUI.apk.

For framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk

• Select ‘framework’.

• Hit menu then ‘Switch System R/W’ and select ‘R/W’ (which is probably is already set to that).

• Find the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk currently in the folder. Long press and delete.

• Now paste the new framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Hey Larry.... we really don't need the bold font.

No, it is not just deleting the installation of GB and reinstalling. You would have to go through the process of downgrading back to Froyo because of the bootloaders.

My recommendation is Heimdall One-Click found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498

Please read the Wiki before proceeding and familiarize yourself with the process and also read the OP of the first link I posted thoroughly and carefully.

If you run into problems let us know.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] larry12s:
Is it ok to store these on laptop until I understand more and then transfer to sd cardthrough USB?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
@larry12s: Store what? Going the Heimdall route you don't need to put anything on your sdcard. Yes store them on your computer.

I forgot to mention you may start with 'Download Fully Back-To-Stock UVKJ6', but if after finished you keep noticing problems you might try 'Download SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders' - read the directions - and reflash your bootloaders.

Lastly larry - just trying to help but we really don't need the long quotes either. You can just ask your question or put @lumin or whomever you are talking to. If you wanted to you can go back and edit past posts and delete them. Just a thought.

Modem - The hardware component of your phone responsible for communicating with the cellular provider.

Galaxy S 4G WiKi

How to Flash a Modem

I recommend the CWM route.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] roxasZ:
does the letters in the modem name mean anything? Is there some kind of clue to which modem to use in a certain area.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The letters in the modem indicate when the modem was made or released (can't remember). Nothing of relevance to what you are doing. You can just try the different modems. You can always flash back to KJ6. You will be okay :)

Credit - mike-y

K = 2011 (11th letter of alphabet)

J = month of October (tenth letter of alphabet)

6 = 6th revision of this ROM.

So KC1 would mean 2011, March, revision 1. Which as you can see, is older than KJ6.

So no.... from what I understand there is no way to determine what modem is better in what area.

Bloat

can you use the bloat removal on stock GB 23.06?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You can use FB's Bloat Removal on the rooted Stock GB ROM, however, you will need a custom kernel with CWM.

If you do not want to flash a custom kernel - as long as you are rooted - you can use several apps to remove the bloat one at a time. And you can use FB's Bloat Remover as a guide to what you can remove.

Flashing a custom kernel is very simple now on rooted stock GB with SGS Kernel Flasher.

Important Notice about Domestic Data Use While Off the T-Mobile Network

Beginning on April 5, 2012 there will be a limit on the amount of data that can be used while a T-Mobile customer's device is connected to another provider's network ("off network" or "domestic romaing"). Customers that are domestically roaming will receive free text message usage alerts for data. If the roaming data limit is exceeded for a Rate Plan, then data service will be suspended from off-network roaming until the start of the next bill cycle or a qualifying change is made to the Rate Plan. This will not impact: (1) voice usage, and (2) data usage on the T-Mobile network.

To determine domestic roaming areas, see the T-Mobile data coverage map by visiting www.T-Mobile.com/Coverage. The domestic roaming data allowance for each Rate Plan is outlined in the chart below. To use this chart, review the Current Rate Plan Full Speed Data Allotment column to identify the megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB) included in your Rate Plan, and then see the domestic roaming data usage limit that applies on the right. The megabytes of gigabytes for a Rate Plan can often be found by reviewing the Available Service section on page 1 of the bill (ex: Classic Simple 200MB Data Promo) or by dialing #WEB# send from your mobile phone.

Current Rate Plan Full Speed Data Allotment	New Domestic Off Network (Romaing) Data Limit

1MB to 199MB	5MB

200MB to 1.99GB	10MB

2GB to 4.99GB	50MB

5GB to 9.99GB	100MB

10GB and above	200MB

Mobile Web Pay Per Use	10MB

Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.

Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.

Here is a screenshot and download link :
