Unable to Root

Hi all, I'm wondering if you could help me with this.

I'm trying to root the phone and it just won't go.

Running 4.3 I9300XXUGMJ9, so I used odin and installed CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4. It will install CWM okay but no root. I've tried a few and all the same.

Any ideas??

Thank you all.

Any comparison to the beta 1?

I am currently using that one and would like to know if it would make sense to change.
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
The discussion here is way getting off topic...

Guys if you have a specific concern, question, inquiry or whatever of some sort post them in the Q&A section! This is not the right thread for it and as of now you guys are now discussing a custom kernel despite it having a dedicated thread already! Keep the discussion here about the Stock firmware and not custom kernels, root, imei changes etc cause it's beating the purpose of why the Q&A section was created for!
[Galaxy S III General] subfire91:
Hi guys,

i installed the 4.3 official (ireland) via Odin and im trouble by something i need your opinion. i noticed that the default firmware has Adaway app preinstalled. when i try to open it says that your phone has to be rooted. isnt it a bit strange that an official firmware has an app that requires rooting to work ? I suspect that maybe is not official?

btw that home button lag is awful. !!
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
my mod fixes that
[Galaxy S III General] fomofo:
Lockscreen frustration

Bloody lag!...3 whole seconds for screen to show.

Disable lockscreen and it still takes at least 2 full seconds.

And "Multiple widgets"...how about one, the clock. With 4.3 on the Note 3, I can add widgets by sliding the clock left or right, nothing happens with this.
[Galaxy S III General] R0g@t:
I'm back to 4.1.2! This 4.3 firmware is a joke. They could have released this junk months ago and told the excellent devs here to make it work! Very disappointing!
[Galaxy S III General] drelite08:
The yank555 beta kernel fixes the issues. Use that, go back to 4.2.1 or stop complaining :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] Alestilohomer:
Yes, Yank fixes it.

FYI, Yank has published the 4.0 "stable" :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] Ush1:
The lag and stuttering seem to be to do with RAM possibly. I found freezing s-voice has improved the lag and stuttering of audio a lot. I'm going to try freeze all the other Samsung apps with titanium backup and see if it helps.

[Galaxy S III General] Gorgtech:
Yank555´s kernel uses the Aroma Installer; you need a simple custom recovery for it ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Alestilohomer:
You must install Yank kernel via custom recovery. It have an Aroma Installer that let you decide the proper configuration of the kernel. If you don't know what the settings are, flash it with default options.

same problem with stock music player.

I tried to resolve it with a reboot and cleaning cache but it doesn't work...
[Galaxy S III General] axelb1980:
I might have figured out how to workaround:

Make sure there is id3 tag for the mp3's (I used audio tagger)

Plug phone into computer via usb -> on computer Create a subfolder under /extSDCard/Music/<foldername> (shows as /card/Music)

move your music files, and now they show.

Why it works this way I have no idea.

Any idea why only S3s sold through carriers are being updated to JB 4.3?
[Galaxy S III General] myshu:
This is something you don't see every day . Carriers launching a new firmware before unbranded regions :)
[Galaxy S III General] syamsoul:
You could also flash it through mobile odin ... select as ota/update.zip

I think instead of using a carrier based 4.3 firmware, one should wait for the unbranded release as we all have been doing till now.

[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
You would need to read the Google paper on updates .

But simple fact is Google want a more unified rollout and have put pressure on the Samsung updates system and carriers .

With only 7 updates so far its not fact that carriers will all push out the update first .
[Galaxy S III General] jay_m3:
thank you all, i have flashed it in recovery and now i am testing the phone, 1st thing i have remarked is the screen lock lag has gone & phone gone faster even when i set CPU freq on 1300 still fast enough!! :) maybe i'll keep this rom if things goes well with battery :)

[Galaxy S III General] daanismyname:

The source is in Dutch but basically it states that Samsung has sent out a press message containing the dates of updates for several Samsung devices.

I do not know when the update will be released in specific countries but the dates do officially apply to the Netherlands.

[Galaxy S III General] daanismyname:
Indubitably, this is not old news, at least I doubt that Samsung had officially confirmed it days ago. As far as I know, previously it wasn't confirmed by Samsung itself that it would come mid November, but I could be wrong. I just thought it would be nice to let you all know to bring some clarification.
[Galaxy S III General] jay_m3:

[Galaxy S III General] drew071:
Is it just me or does it seem odd that the firmwares released so far are all branded. Also after a but if digging it turns out that all the released firmware in different countries and with network are all Vodafone. A1 in Austria in a susiduary of Vodafone, si.Mobil is a partner and so is swisscom.

Here's hoping that the Samsung released firmware is much better. We all know how branded firmware is always poor.

In probably just being optimistic though lol
