Great Job!

And another reason to buy Samsung!

Would just hope, they'd ship EU devices with 2GB or RAM.

May need to wait for the Japanese version.. if Bands are the same.. >_<
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fysi:
I don't see why it isn't possible, it would just take a f*** ton of work from developers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Isadora:
And a good reason to hit that Donate button and buy Chainfire a beer!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] musashiro:
Superb.. im pretty sure the candle is the inspiration for this..

We need your expertise chainfire to hammer down the emmc corruption on n7000 ics builds. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
This is pretty much what I expected but it's great to hear it. My only question is can root, superuser and recovery all be done using ad and fastboot? Or will Odin be required?

Hope it can all be done without the use of Odin. If Odin is necessary I will have to think long and hard about getting this phone.

Just Flash It !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] M3xital:
Great work Chainfire!

Now just waiting for the delivery of my new Galaxy S III:D

which will never happen, hence it ends as impossible
[Galaxy S III Android Development] samaxen:
Thanks CF... Great work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SSyar:
Well thats what Samsung says... about S III ...!!

''Designed for Humans'' ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sccip:
Very good job CF !!!!

One question, after flash the insecure kernel, you yhink it's not possible to install SuperSU directky from an apk or google play?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Intratech:
Cheers CF. I like the change to boot.img as well as it's so easy to unpack and repack. Also thanks for the details, it's so easy to create the insecure kernel and root the device it's unreal.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] movieaddict:
Ty so much chainfire!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pughie:
Wow great work, even more excited about collecting my sgs3.

Sent from my (soon to be replaced) HTC Desire S
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reviewers:
I love you Chainfire.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] droidsg:
Ok thank you :) If you don't mind can you tell me why?I'm kinda of a noob haha
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ts_firehawk:
Samsung should hire you, seriously. You would be that giant gold mine that every miner ever wanted to find. Congratulations!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Trunkam:
so great!

Even if i want to test and use, the stock rom,it amazing having root and everything before having the phone!

Thumbs up chainfire and even for Samsung!

CF,

Does this rooting works with mobile Odin?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gnuig:
Super...

Thanks Chainfire, this is great news... can't wait to get the sgs3 and start flashing... 10 more days to go'...

Super!

I think sgs3 could turn out to become one of the greatest developer phones yet? :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] oneheart:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
This is not Q&A .. lol just kidding and I hope you were too ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] franck2k5:
Well, actually no :). And i'm still waiting for an answer :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
No it won't work on an HTC...

Really?

Just Flash It !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schrickm5:
In the opening post it says use ADB to push SU, will this be relevant once all the Custom ROMS and Recovery become Available with (hopefully) the corresponding CF-Root kernels a la SGS2 by our resident geniuses?

Also just to be 100% this is a permanent ROOT?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chainfire:
Nah, this is just the difficult way because ... its easy to make. I don't have a device :)

The "usual" way to root a device with separate kernel/recovery is to flash a recovery, then flash root through recovery. But there's no rules... it's pretty much whatever you want.

Some people will say through recovery is the only "proper" way, I say "bla" to those people. There are like 10 ways to do this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schrickm5:
Thanks Chainfire for the quick response. I got the impression from reading up there were more than a few ways to skin this cat.....especially after unlocking the bootloader/rooting on my Galaxy Nexus.

Really looking forward to the next 2-4 weeks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazysanchez:
I won't buy any samsung products, but this kind of hacking is amazing.:p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Umpfi81:
what would be the android-world without Chainfire :)

can't wait to get the S3 and let the CF-magic flow ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] theq86:
standard boot image format and seperate recovery partition. this is a real reason for me to buy. I was always confused about the predecedors and having to flash kernel along with recovery and stuff.

btw, is SGS3 a eMMC device? Most probably, yes but i'm not sure.

Great work so far.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MisQo:
Please, make a short video tutorial...Thanks from Slovakia. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eagle4343:
you are great man i cant find any word for you

thanks alot

Thanks for your answer :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangestrawberry:
a question as i'm coming from a htc:

does this allow a branded sg3 to be unbranded and allow stock rom, radios etc or is the way Sammy does things very different to htc?

many thanks

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ludakon:
Samsung Galaxy S i9000 audio chip compared to Galaxy S II is much better or not?

From what I can see, the Galaxy S has a Wolfsen chip and the S II has a Yamaha chip, I enjoy the headphone amplification to the max on the S yet there is no such thing for the S II is it? Also what are the sound capabilities on the S III? does anyone have an IDEA? help? :D..thanks. Plus please do leave me positive feed back, im at Level 0 here needing to work my way UP..thank you guys.:o:):):rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sean_FD2R:
CF, Sammy should send you a S3 not candle albeit expensive one but that's not what u need...:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leezrd:
Supercurio said that the yamaha chip wasn't as good and that is why he didn't do voodoo sound for it. But with wolfsen in galaxy s3 i think so might have it in s3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dannyc93:
There is allot of hope for the SGSIII regarding SQ...apparently the Wolfson chip is of similar quality to the one in the SGS and so Supercurio and others are hoping for the same SQ as the original SGS, but it all depends on how its implemented and if the properly shield it as they skimped on this in the SGSII

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sleestax:
As I will be switching from an OG Evo to the SIII when my 2 yr contract is up, I am hoping for a noob (to samsung) guide to appear at some point. Is the recovery/bootloader very different in the Samsung world versus the HTC world?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kickassdave:
You bet it is!! Not to discredit any of the work of the devs in getting us there with recovery and root etc. but the whole custom rom and flashing process is so much more pain free with Samsung phones. Thank god for Odin!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] axt:
You are GREAT, MAAAN !!!!! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Quuki:
Awesome! :-)

THX!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goatblaster:
Can't wait!

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these here in Canada. WANT!!

I'm fairly certain I saw a video the other day of Chainfire beating the hell out of Chuck Norris, Jet Li and Van Damme at the same time. It was epic. There was blood everywhere and android phones flying all over the place like ninja stars.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Saketme:
Awesome! Why didn't I see this thread earlier? I can't wait anymore to get my hands on the Samsung Galaxy S III :D

Btw, I reblogged this tutorial :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] swedan:
Ok. Please bear with me. Call me a noob if you want to. But I can't figure this out.

I have an SGS3, I have installed KIES for the drivers, I have the ADB Interface in the Device Manager. But I do not find any devices when using ADB.

I've enabled USB debugging of course, but can someone please help me. I have successfully flashed the insecure kernel via ODIN, but can't push the su binary since I can't get ADB access.

Someone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sak500:
Coming from LG phones and done tons of ROM installation on my O3D. However where can i find guide for rooting SIII and installing ROMS?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] slaphead20:
You are on the thread for rooting it! See individual ROM threads for instructions on how too instal
[Galaxy S III Android Development] briandevlin:
Great, will mobile Odin be upgraded to s3?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RTBee:
Have you followed all the steps outlined from the Techsplurge site?

http://techsplurge.com/9760/root-samsung-galaxy-s3-guide/

It's ultimately from Chainfire. Amazing that he's able to do this without a phone. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] swedan:
Actually it all was solved by installing drivers via Kies on another computer. Just som issue with my notebook. Now I have root and I'm happy! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aneeqkhan:
Hi there guys..... M new to this adb stuff... i understand flashing the insecure kernel thru pc odin but can someone elaborate the steps of adb after getting insecure kernel on the device.... How do i go to adb interface n from where should i run install.bat??? Thanks in advance n sorry if it is a childish one :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] laneyofdeath:
Do u mean how do u use adb? It's used through the cmd prompt. Google it If u unsure how to install

Guys wait for 1 or 2 more days, a CWM version is coming on its way, there's a dev already working on it (not me).

waiting SGS3 30th may 2012

+1 here coming from Htc World. going to kiss samsung world now. Thanks devs and all friends here. Great job Chainfire Siiiir.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chainfire:
Exactly... I'd build it myself but its a drag if you don't actually have the device. If this thread is too complicated for your skills, wait for CWM... If it takes more than another 10 days for somebody to build it, I'd be really really surprised.

(I'd build on one release day, but apparently they aren't selling pebble blue at release, and I will be waiting for that)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danielvc:
I already have it but I'm not skilled enough to do anything with it then just root with a easy method, so I'm waiting too :-)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Isadora:
You should have ordered from the UK because it looks like we are getting blue ones on release day ;) In any case, I don't mind having to wait for your goodies since I normally keep my phones fully stock for a few weeks to make sure there's no problems with the unit...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] alireza76:
Awesome ! and also fast ... :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] walda:
Hmm, could it be that led support for apps is broken with this kernel?

Cant get "Light flow lite" to work anymore. Maybe my fault, but before cf kernel it worked out of the box.

... tapat*lked
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chainfire:
It is unlikely, but not impossible. After rooting, just flash back the original ALE8 kernel, see if that helps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] walda:
Only extracted zimage with odin? Think MobileOdin isnt working yet because you have no device, right...

... tapat*lked
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chainfire:
Right... but Mobile Odin will show up soon :)

For your good work mate.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] swedan:
Did you disable the stock led notifications? I did and I think it broke Light Flow. After enabling it again it worked with this kernel and everything works now, so the kernel shouldn't be the issue here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] walda:
yes i disabled it.

tested it with enabled also, didnt work. tested it now again and it works. strange but thanks!

so everything is fine chain, thanks. :)

... tapat*lked
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chainfire:
Looking at recovery now. I think there's a logic breakdown in the recovery sources which will mess with internal/external sdcard selection at the moment.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kakyyabata:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] kuwait:
Hi I also did not work till now with ADB commands. However there is an easy solution (for Dummies):

1)Download zip from following link and unzip:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/v1mnwnkbi5e77zv/ADB%20install.zip

2)Run ADB for Dummies.exe and install android SDK for Windows:

3)Right click on My Computer and go to Properties/Advanced settings (for Windows 7 & Vista) or Poperties/Advanced Tab (for Windows XP). Open Environment Variables , click New and fill in following values:

in field Variable: adb

in field Value: C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

4)Extract zip file from first page of this tread sgs3-root-install.zip in directory:

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

5)Check USB Debugging in Settings/Development mode of your S3 phone.

6)Connect USB cable

7)Go to directory:

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

and double click on

install.bat

Telephone should reboot and update android which proves that work done. You can see SuperSU installed in your programs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kuwait:
There is something wrong with this root.

Everything with rooting passed well. Look at picture in below link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cuknss9pv9e68so/Root.jpg

Root explorer has been granted root access and I can read and write in the root directory. Meanwhile Titanium Patcher and Lucky Patcher do not work even if SU says that root rights are granted to them.When started they give error "No root access found".

P.S. Sorry Busy Box was not installed. After Busy Box installation all is OK now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AV1985:
+1 with this error and unfortunately, this guide didn't help. Getting error: device not found when trying to use ADB, therefore can't push SU onto the S3 so no real root :-(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] simone201:
I had the same problem, i need someone with a GS3 to pick up some commands output to fix internal sdcard, because external already works fine
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ::indie:::
Omega's team has an SG3, we can help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chainfire:
I know what you're thinking, but that's not going to work. Internal sdcard is "fuse"d. I know that's supported, you just have to setup the recovery fstab right - I've done it for other models. The thing is, the current CWM source supports that, or it supports internal sdcard normally, or it supports external sdcard, or it supports internal sdcard + external sdcard, but it does *not* support internal sdcard *fused* + external sdcard. You can make it work by switching the sdcards around, but that will mess up usage and "android secure" will not be properly backed up or restore.

At least, that's how I read the source. I haven't bothered compiling or testing. But if I read it right, the source needs some overhauling for this to work *properly*. That's not a big problem by itself, however it's probably best if that is played directly in cooperation with Koush, so the CWM sources are fixed - instead of us hero-ing around on our own.

(On the other hand, if this is all actually true, it's a pretty big fail in the last batch of CWM adjustments ... because this setup should have been expected when "fuse"d sdcards were introduced)

(And still, aside from this specific problem, yes, you could have just taken SGS2 recovery binaries, adjusted recovery.fstab, and injected it into stock SGS3 recovery to get a proper CWM)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] simone201:
That's what i thought too, and also kinda "hacking" the fstab is an easy way to fix it...we just need to know the proper partition position in the block device afaik, as there SHOULD be a partition for it (or a device address...)

And yes, i already knew that only needs changing the fstab to be usable ;)

What i am trying now is to port the touch features ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kuwait:
1) Install latest version of KIES from Samsung site.

2) Turn ON the phone, connect to the computer and wait until all drivers installed. This takes time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] brittosa:
Google for and install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2300_0.exe

Install Java & Android SDK.

Extract contents of sgs3-root-install.zip into \android-sdk\platform-tools (adb.exe should be here)

On SGSIII enable "USB debugging" (Settings > Developer options > USB debugging)

Connect phone to PC and wait for the drivers to install

Power off device, unplug and go to download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power)

Plug-in device again and launch Odin. Make sure Odin's "ID:COM" field is highlighted.

Click "PDA" and point to "CF-Insecure-SGS3_XX_NEE_ALE8-v1.2.tar"

After device reboots run install.bat from \android-sdk\platform-tools
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danilos2k:
I send you a PM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AV1985:
Thanks guys. After hours of fiddling, got it to work.

My main problem was drivers. When I ran the Kies setup, it just unpacked and quit. It worked before, just not now!

I eventually managed to solve this by, and I don't know why it worked, redownloading the exact same Kies package. Installed the Samsung USB Drivers first, then Kies, and then ADB found my device.

I'm running a rooted S3 now yay! Oh Titanium Backup how I missed you so!!

I have managed to apply the insecure boot.img and then install super su, but any program that requires root refuses to work.

I will get the dialogue box that says 'do you want to grant super user permissions' to which i select grant. After that the programs hang and i have to force quit or the program stops responding and quits.

Edit - On second thoughts, it might be the program that isnt designed for the S3 rather than the root not working correctly.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] RTBee:
I don't use Kies much, so not sure about that. But using TiB should be just fine. All apps that ran on your S1 will run fine, even better on the S3. Just be careful not to restore any of the system apps and data. ;)
