download terminal emulator from the market and install... launch the app and you'll see "$" as the cursor... type "su" without the quotes and press enter.. if your cursor prompt changes to "#", you have root

Hi there I successfuly rooted my phone thanks to the brilliant guide on here. Now I want to unroot. How can I go about this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nokes31:
Hi people, need some help here.

I've rooted the phone successfully with this guide and was fiddling with it today, installing apps from Google Play.. However, during the un-installation of one app I think I've accidentally removed some system files.

Now the phone doesn't boot up, I get the start-up music and the "Samsung" logo but that's about it. I did recovery mode and did the "Wipe data/factory reset" and also the "Wipe Cache partition" but it's still the same.

What should I do next? Many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] F1tty:
Thanks works nice ;-)

Flash a stock firmware with Odin, or flash cwm and install Omega rom.

Hi can somebody explain wat this quote means, is it something to b worried about? I have just got my s3 today and I wish to root it, I bricked my desire on the first day I got it 2 years ago and I dont want that to happen again. Lucky for me I was to exchange it under faulty handset:D as it wudnt boot up lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 9Lukas5:
It's about the custom flash counter. If you go into download mode (power+menu+vol down) you'll see a text in the top left corner about how many custom flashes you've done. But on bootup we don't see a yellow warning triangle because of the counter isn't on zero. That's all that line says ;)

Can someone please tell me if unrooting is possible?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ahac85:
Sorry its my first samsung phone, usually been sticking with htc so I dont know history of this counter thing

If we had to give phone in for a repair and the counter obviously was above 0, I take it warranty wild be void?? Can we reset it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dnlgee:
If you have the default boot.img, sure.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bedtime_with_the_bear:
I thanked by accident (curse you, wine) but please stop cross posting the exact same posts in multiple threads, its very annoying reading the same posts in every S3 root thread. If you bother reading the threads, you'll see that it has been stated that SuperSU has an option to unroot.

XXALE9 not rooting

My SG3 has XXALE9. Nothing works. The phone is recognised by ODIN but then Your CWM does not go through to it via ODIN. The ALE8 insecure kernel doesnt work on this. The box which used to show green PASS; is showing Red FAIL. What is your advise to root it. Is there any way to go back to ALE8 version and then do this or is there an insecure kernel for ALE9. Or any other method?? Or there should be another CWM version?

I shall be very grateful for your help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 1234568:
Forgive me if I have a misunderstanding... both rooting and Samsung devices are new to me.

If Samsung choose to use an unblocked bootloader then they clearly don't care about people flashing new recoveries or roms. With that said, why don't they include a flexible, open recovery in the first place?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] walda:
try going to full ale8, then the rest should work.

thats the way which was fine on the note.

i installed cwm + super su, and its all working great however my binary counter sets to 2.. hehe.. now waiting on how to reset this back to 0..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wizzbang3:
Sorry to make this newbie reply but...

No offense intended but is this method of root access an inferior one? Compared to flashing a properly compromised kernel (or whatever the right term is)

I ask this because both my HP Touchpad, my Galaxy S2 and S3 kind of 'lock up' when you try to use anything which requires superuser access. It eventually works but apps time out and Android OS prompts you to kill the task, very reminiscent of WinXP and a hung app (end task)

Not trying to bad name it, I'm just curious as it makes things a bit awkward to work with (and when I demo Android to friends, they think it's slow and buggy!)

Thanks guys

The firmware which makes your carrier Telstra.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Cralis:

So, now looking for the right files to download to root (and de-brand?) my 5 hour old SGS3...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wizzbang3:
You're a brave man, money conscious no doubt - but brave.

I got mine outright with allphones, the bastards sold me an unlocked but Optus Branded one - so I'm in a similar boat to you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Cralis:
Yeah, money was a big factor, but ... I haven't been as impressed with Telstra as people let on. I get ZERO data connection when at venues, and have to teather with my wife who's on Vodafone, to get data. (3G congestion at big events, maybe). Also, I'd have paid $73 on Telstra for 1.5Gb, $550 value. I went with Vodafone, and got $750 credit, 2.0Gb data, unlimited texts, unlimited calls to Voda (my wife!) ... for $47! Wasn't a hard choice.. and they 'promise' Voda is upgrading their network... :confused:

Anyway, back on topic, I assume we just have to wait for the Australian firmware before we can root, and debrand?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wizzbang3:
Actually I thought the "international" firmwares were fine for us - was for my Galaxy S2.

I think my firmware for ICS was based from an English build.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Cralis:
It may well be. My Motorola Xoom uses a 'European 3G' ROM ... so it might well be the case. I'm too chicken and novice to try though. :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] norberto26:
hi, thanks for the tutorial. it works!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 9Lukas5:
To use the insecure kernel is more complicated as flashing cwm ( which works with every romversion because recovery has own partition in s3 and therefor isn't included/bound to the kernel) and from there supersu.

Hey dude, just bought TriangleAway. Enjoy the beer :D

On firmware LE8 as well

Im not sure if 100%, but under "Flash Counter". Current status reads:

"Cannot be determined" - Is this correct, reason I ask is that you say to confirm before attempting.

Please can you confirm if ok? Read your notes on Triangle Away Vs Samsung. Nice read dude.

Any help appreciated ;)

EDIT: Sorry, just read your main TriangleAway post. Thanks for your hard work dude!

EDIT 2: Worked flawlessly :D Showing as official with root :-P lol

Quick question, will this permanently stop the counter from going up or just reset to 0?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] -Leviathan-:
Question, I am not clear about one thing.

Chainfire speaks of secure stock kernel and insecure kernel.

The stock secure kernel is non-rooted in adb, although the phone is rootat and superSU.

The insecure is a recompiled kernel with adb rooted.

But to make "insecure" the secure kernel, Chainfire has made available the program "adbd Insecure".

So I wonder, what sense does flash the kernel insecure?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Now i doesn't make sense anymore ;)
