This was ridiculously easy. I was worried coming from a HTC dfevice to Samsung as they're so different but that was simple enough, once I in stalled Kies to get my drivers working correctly.

Many thanks for this.

Cheers bud

--------------

A quick update for anyone else

UK VODA S3

A ran the KIES (bloatware :))

updated KIES

ran FW update

(at one point it says you can unplug the usb wire and power off the phone..... but the phone was still doing something so i just waited..)

phone rstarted- Add Free said root error so i realised it was unrooted

downloaded new 6.2 CF root i had 6.1 before

follow the instructions on the first post

Phone =rooted and updated

I ran Triangle away to Reset the flash count (even though the S3 still recognises root behaviour and reports the phone as modified)

I had to start Titanium backup and add free to give them Super User Permission

ChainFire rules ......... ChainFire Schools ........ Fools .. (er I ran out of rhymes :p)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
Thanks! Rooting was a cake :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
Video coming your way chainfire!

Thank you very much for your hard work CF!

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KKTHX:
Can I still install normal SuperUser ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
you can do, but if you do so, make sure to clear the superSU settings - I suggest to you, to stick to SUPERSU for the S3, for the time being at least.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KKTHX:
Standard od PRO version. What do you recommend?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
think of the PRO version for donating to CF.

I bought the pro version, as soon as i got my S3, before even rooting the phone, just because i support the dev :)

So, go with the free one firs,t and if you like what he does, go ahead and donate, via that app! :)

there is a mode to see "Normal" status in device info with a modded rom installed? Just triangle away?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mopral:
There is no triangle on S3!

Just the flash counter...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aguadilu:

Root by still stock recovery

Hi,

Installed this .tar, all went well, got root except that I still have the stock android recovery. The app CWM installed it states:

This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you have running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled.

All help appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fishcake13:
having the same issue... re flashed 2 - 3 times and still no CF-CWM... anyone care to help.. plz :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] winwiz:
same issue as well
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fishcake13:
im glad its not just me... just tried flashing the CF-CWM alone and still didn't work.... :S

Problem is the CWM 1.4 is flashed through CWM, lol

if there was an ODIN version then there wouldn't be a problem
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rtorbs:
Isnt the version here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684535 odin flashable ? as per

"Instructions - Short

Extract the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y zip file, to get the tar file you can flash in Odin as PDA.

"
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
The v1.4 cwm from Cf is a odin flashable one. It's packed in the zip and has to be extracted first from there. If desktop Odin isn't working, try another usb port, check drivers or try to use mobile odin, as you said root is there, only recovery is missing.

L
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
You know what the crazy thing is - root is actually installed by the CWM recovery. So if you flashed this, and you end up with root, but without CWM, then you should seriously check your living space for prankster gnomes.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] winwiz:
This is no prank chainfire, uploading proof now.....
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fishcake13:
tried both method... still can't get it to flash... what am i missing... :S

Flashing my mates phone and its causing these issues. Rooted my own phone fine with the first version of this root method
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] benny6812:
I second these screenshots, what is the next step? I assure you Chainfire, no prank, we flashed and just got root... oh and that app
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Are you sure you actually have root then ?

As I stated, it is actually CWM that installs root, so CWM was flashed at some point, or you could never have gained root privileges.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] WhiteHartMart:
Happening to me today after deciding to root too.

Phone appears to have root - Titanium Backup etc work fine but when trying to enter recovery all I get is stock?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fishcake13:
yeah i have full root access. using Titanium back up shows full root access. as well as CWM manager needs root access to start the app. so strange :S
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
For funsies, can you try all these different methods to get into recovery ?

- boot with volup+home+power

- adb reboot recovery

- adb shell su -c "reboot recovery"

Some Samsung devices boot into different recoveries based on which method you use (yarly!)

In some freak way you have managed to boot recovery but not flash it ... which Odin did you use ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] benny6812:
Clockwork did flash up, I saw it while it was saying about unmounting system and no sd card present etc, but never again. Odin3 V1.85
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fishcake13:
that those commands but still showing android system recovery <3e>

oh sorry i used odin 1.85, ran as admin
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rtorbs:
I flashed using v3.whatever it was and didnt have any issues....maybe worth a try ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] WhiteHartMart:
I've tried with both versions of Odin - same result :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rtorbs:
What about extracting the recovery.img from chainfires recovery only thread (i linked it a bit back) and try using terminal emulator to flash it ?....had to do that on my Hero one time

or maybe get some kind soul (unless you know?) to package it as an update.zip and flash it through the CWM app ?

I know this is probably a silly question but I just tried to install the firmware update that came OTA today but when the phone rebooted to install it there was an error about an incomplete signature?

Don't remember the exact message as i didn't have a phone to write it in :)

I suppose this is understandable so I guess my question is - is the only way to update anything on my phone now to install custom ROMS?

For the record I have a UK t-Mobile S3

You can download unmodified, stock ROMs here at XDA and flash them via Odin or Mobile Odin.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
First I suggest you read the rules of this site.

Second I suggest you read this forum section's specific rules.

Third I suggest you rethink your strategy in asking this question in three separate threads in the development forum.

Fourth I suggest you try reading the first posts of the threads you are asking this question in.

Fifth I suggest you count your blessings that this response is the worst you got for your behavior.

If you have done all of those things and still don't understand what you did wrong ... this may not be the place for you.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] zincsnow:
Chainfire, reading on your Triangle away thread, it says that the SGS3 is supported, the i9300 and i9300T, however, the USB Jig only applies to SGS2 and the other devices right?

Also we have to purchase the app to remove it, that's all, is it?

CF you're the best. I've always used the cf-root on all firmwares i have had. Is it possible to apply updates through KIES after flashing official firmware via odin? On my GT- I9000 I could not. I flashed some relatively new firmware though and I'm from Finlad where I suppose we don't get updates as often. Or is it necessary to have country spesific rom flashed?

Yeah so does mine:confused:

so obviously it doesn't work with LF2 is there another way to reset the counter without having to flash other firmware and then back again surely there has to be an easier method?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] snipercision:
Quick Question. SGS3 prior to rooting was getting 1.4 days battery. Post Rooting I am getting half a day, 3/4 a day max. Same apps, same settings. Before I continue testing can someone tell me if they have experienced this or know of it happening before?

I can not fathom what or why this is. Makes no sense.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
"obviously" you have failed to read the Triangle Away thread.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] romeo57:
One question, will rooting void my warranty?

If so, can i unroot?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jonny68:
I have read it actually - not relevant to what my question was, i asked was there an alternative method to reset the counter like the USB Jig for the SGSII clearly there is not at present, i give you credit Chainfire for your work and i have donated for your efforts but do you really always need to talk down to people, ive seen it several times and it's a bit ****ing annoying to see actually, don't think because you are a developer you are somehow better than noobs who ask questions (im not a noob BTW)

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

yes and yes
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
The person you were responding to was talking about the "Modified" status under Settings. What you are near-quoting refers to a "Modified" status in download mode.

Furthermore, questions about Triangle Away, should be in the Triangle Away thread - not this one.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes I was. And that modified status will be gone once u flash a stock rom anyway which you would naturally do before returning under warranty..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Fornowagain:
Would it, with the bootloader still flagging a flash count?

TriangleAway's sole purpose is to reset the download mode binary counter. What has the rom got to do with it?

And again, wrong thread.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sathkartha:
It worked for me--went from India specific FW to the above and then used Triangle away followed by a cache wipe and factory reset and then rebooted to find status of device to be 'normal' from 'modified' that was earlier.Of course,one man's food could turn out to be another's poison!:cool:

Hi guys a little advice please. I'm rooted with chainfire. I'm away from a PC for the next 3 weeks. The update automatically downloaded to my phone. I keep saying install layer but it keeps reminding every 3 hours. If I let it install presumably it fails but won't lick up the phone? A ll I want is the message gone not bothered about update until I get back. Add I said I have no access to a PC for 3 weeks

Thanks all
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jonny68:
I'll wipe cache but im not gonna factory rerset unless really necessaary.

It's not massively important at this stage anyway to be honest;)

PM me your email address... I have a fix, but it needs testing (which I cannot do because I do not have the problem). I'll send it to you tomorrow to try out if you PM me your email address.

But not if you flashing SiyahKernel, because then the test result won't be valid ! :)

Great :)

Can you please try and retrieve the update.zip from your phone ?

I think it will be in /cache or /cache/recovery ... try pulling entire /cache . I hope it will be in there.

.... why are you not PAYING to the dev to use his/her app instead of trying to crack it with a 3rd party app... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes it would. The bootloader is not flagging a Flash count. triangle away does what it is suppose to do. It resets the binary counter.. Although your status in settings/about says modified, this changes back to 'official', or whatever when u flash a stock rom. If you read the Triangle Away thread properly this is explained by Chainfire..

Yes but you have to re-flash CF-Root, follow the entire install procedure.
