Thanks. After I rooted I'm getting pretty bad data and services connection. I was getting fine speed during the day now it's only in edge. I'm using atnt mvno. Did the root break something??

do i need to reset something?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mbroeders:
No, you don't have to. But you can if you either want to support cf, or for warranty purposes.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mbroeders:
CF root should not be, or tbh isn't, the cause of this. It does not really do anything other than flash recovery and add the su binary.

Hi Chainfire if I install your mod after I can update my S3 with the future Official Samsung OTA?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
Thank you, it turns out I was being silly, I didnt enable root mode in ES File Explorer, nor did I mount r/w through it.

I've edited my Dalvik to 192m instead of 256m as I was having issues with Touchwiz redrawing.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] laneyofdeath:
U may not get them I unsure. To get system status back to normal I think u have to use triangle away, flash stock Samsung firmware and do a factory reset. I could be wrong but from reading thread that is my understanding
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I want to keep my S3 as stock as possible, but of course need root for certain apps.

Can anyone tell me if I'll be able to install OTA updates when CF-root is installed ? (I mean, shall I be able to see OTA updates ?)

If not, how can I revert back from CF-root when I need to make an OTA update ?

Thx.

edit:

I see that my questions are answered partially in post 1 and 2

I just wonder if I will be able to receive OTA notification when CF-root is installed.

And, if I install a custom kernel, shall I still be informed of OTA updates ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aneeqkhan:
As per my knowledge custom kernels do not support ota updates. However by following cf root method the kernel remains stock so ota updates should be ok but after installing it you will have to root again using the method in the op to gain root

I've installed CF-root 6.3 on my GT-I9300, everything went fine.

Then I looked for the triangle but couldn't see it when booting.

Anyway, I wanted to make sure that the counter is reset, so I installed Triangle Away 1.51

When I start it , it says that it needs to download an add-on, I accept. (this occurs in every startup of the app even though it was downloaded before)

then it says on the app menu : "current status can not be determined"

I press "reset flash counter" anyway, after "cecking kernel" the app closes.

am I using a wrong Triangle Away version ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
Hmmm.... is your kernel compatible with triangle away? And... Try reinstalling the app... but i doubt that would help.

Press Thanks if I helped :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
my kernel is stock kernel (XXALEB). According to the OP it should be compatible with Triangle Away. Am I wrong ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
Hello all,

When I first installed CF Root I didnt have a ext SD card, it searched for one then gave up, but everything worked fine. Although I noticed I didnt have stock recovery any more, instead I had clockwork.

I installed Omega 6 yesterday, i entered clockwork recovery by pressing power + vol up + home. Made a back up of my current stock rooted rom.

Followed instructions and flashed it without issues.

Anyway I didn't like Omega 6 rom so I went into recovery using the same buttons, done a factory wipe/wiped all caches.

Restored back to stock rom, all good.

Now when I press Power + vol up + home it boots into the stock recovery with a triangle rather than clockwork.

I can enter clockwork if I go in through he application itself and ask it to boot into recovery, but my questions are, why has this happened? And how do I get clockwork to be my default recovery app again?

I've not done any updates since, I have edited build.prop to change the dalvik cache from 256 to 192 but other than that nothing.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
Its not possible to convert back to a stock ROM from a custom ROM just from factory resetting. Watever the problem might be... Just reflash to stock.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
Sorry I probably didn't explain properly.

I 'restored' to my backup of my stock rooted Rom using Clockworkmod, and that worked and now i'm on my stock rooted rom with all my old data...

BUT I've some how lost the ability to boot into clockworkmod with Power+vol up+home.

Do I just flash to the latest CF-Root to get Clockwork recovery back?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
Hmmm... sorry for misunderstanding... but if u restored your stock ROM using another kernel that u did not do the backup with... it would probably cause issues. You have to reflash from Stock then CF root then restore. ;)

Press Thanks if I helped :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
Ok thank you (I've pressed thanks on both of your posts :))

Sorry a couple more questions.

Now that I'm restored to my old back up does that mean my kernal will be the stock one too, my base version says NELE4 which is what it said with my stock rom.

Am I safe to reflash CF Root now?

Or do I have to reflash a stock rom then flash CF root again?

My phone is working fine other than not booting into clockworkmod.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
Just to be on the safe side reflash from stock then cf root then restore. Keep in mind that when u restore a nandroid backup try to always use the kernel/CWM that u took the backup with.

Press Thanks if I helped :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
Sorry for all the questions, last set.

So I have to re-flash the original rom that was on my phone rather than re-flash the original kernel?

Or do I just re-flash the original kernel, run CF-root and then finally restore?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
Reflash the firmware that came with your phone out of the box, then cf root. Then restore. :)

hi there

i still don't understand something about this root

Is it possible to update the firmware officially (using kies I mean ) after you root the phone?

thanks for your reply

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] obionenairobi:
Rooted or not rooted ?

I went through the procedure several times in rooting my S3 so that I could install Titanium back up downloaded from Google play

I use the last CF-root v 6.3 and meanwhile noticed that the CWM manager has changed

When I try to use BatteryCalibration or Titanium back up I get a message that the device isn't rooted

I also cannot find the SU app

When starting up I can see that I already have 3 counts

What am I missing
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sarbe:
I've done hundreds of restores to and from different roms and kernels and never had a problem. It is not necessary to flash stock rom before nandroid restore.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZaneZam:
From second post:

How to upgrade with: Samsung ROM

If you are flashing a stock Samsung ROM, you will probably lose SuperSU (root), CWM (recovery) and the CWM Manager app. Just follow the entire installation procedure again - I recommend the Mobile ODIN option here.

I assume that also applies to updating via kies. Btw. according to the second post it also applies to OTA updates. So you can update but u maybe will loose root/CWM ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] obionenairobi:
I just installed SuperSU and even this does not solve my problem.

I get an error message when trying to run SuperSU:

"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem !"
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sarbe:
Pls Delete.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
Hmm, I've done the same on my Desire Z and had no issues.

Anyway I listened to his advice and now I've flashed back to stock (and lost root) then I re-flashed to Cf-Root 6.3 and still I cannot boot into clockwork.

It all worked until I installed Omega 6 and came back to original?

:confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] obionenairobi:
Found it....

Forgot to enable usb debugging :-(

Have enabled it and and S3 is now rooted
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
You need a kernel that supports Triangle away. You can use Perseus kernel for example.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 Galaxy SIII
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
Are you sure that stock kernel is not supported ?

Because I'd read the instructions of CF-root and there itwas recommended to install Triangle Away.

As CF-root is most commonly used with stock kernel, it should be supported.

No ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sarbe:
Yes it does work on stock.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
But as I know only with the XXALE8 Kernel. The newer ones doesn't support it anymore and I got the same message instead of the number of counts and flashed Perseus kernel ( which I'm using everyday) and triangle away worked. There are also other kernels that suport it. Siyah supports it's also I think.

Works like a charm

My GT-I9300 did some kind of OTA update today early morning, no idea though what it did. Got 4.0.4 with BB I9300XXLF2 and Kernel 3.0.15-671647.

Was little bit scared, but,... no risk no fun,... so I did this and wups, worked perfectly.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KKTHX:
What If:

1) I make factory reset. Root will be reverted ?

2) I install firmware by ODIN ? Root will be permanently wiped ?

Is there any EASY way to uninstall ROOT ?

Or root without modded kernel ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
1) Factory reset will not revert root.

2) Flashing a stock firmware will revert to how your phone it was like out of the box and obviously will remove root. It will be wiped... permananently in a way...

Looking to preorder my Verizon G3 later this week . Is this same root method expected to work with Verizon too, but just has not been tested yet since there haven't been any units made available? I wasn't sure if this was a known exploit with all G3 units or if Verizon was going to be a pain and lock it up.

Keep up the great work with this!

i'm new on Samsung and root took me for about 1 minute. Great work. THX.

But i have one concerne.

Today i checked for OTA and a new version was found. Downloaded and tried to install but the update didn't finish. What am i doing wrong ???? Update via Kies doesn't work either. (phone is not suitable ).

i'm on version: AP I9300XXALEF

CP I9300XXLEF

CSC: I9300LUXALE5

Do i have to update via CWM ??? If so, where do i find the update.zip.

Thx in advance

Hi all,

Anyone able to help with this?

I can only boot into clockwork through clockwork! Power, home + vol up lands me into standard download mode...

:confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aneeqkhan:
Power+home+vol up never takes u to download mode. If u don't have cwm recovery even then it will take u to stock recovery. R u sure u r using the right combination to boot into recovery? For root did u check to mount r/w in system folder using root explorer?

Remember, CFroot is not a kernel. So you can flash CF-root, but you'll still be running Franco's...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nadram:
Never mind.

I just updated OTA from LB8 (or whatever it's called) to LF2. Upgrade happened without glitches and was very fast.

I lost root as expected. I flashed CF root 6.3 through Odin and it worked.

The whole thing took less than 10 minutes including the update download.

I didn't have a custom ROM and I never used mOdin or Triangle Away.

No problems at all.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] yc1437:
Oh yea, just check the TAR file realize that only Cache & Recovery, i am downloading stock kernel & flash again. It seems like stock kernel work better than Franco's.

Anyway thanks for the reply.

Hi guys a lil advice please. I'm rooted using Odin 6.2. I've been away for last few weeks so I want to run the new firmware upgrades that are available for the s3 - 2 I believe? So if sometime could advise if I am right in the following

Reroot phone using Odin 6.3 - leave everything on the phone as it is as 6.3 will overwrite 6.2?

Download the updates using the check update option on the s 3 phone and select install later when the file is downloaded.

Run cwm on the phone and point it at the downloaded file under cache on the phone

Is this right?
