Yes flash official stock rom and your phone will be stock again, ie, unrooted.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dkreventon:
Is 6.4 fully compatible with the official 4.1.1?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 89dogg:
take touch recovery..

i'm still using touch recovery without any issues.

with this version (6.4) i only had problem while falshing zip files. especially with vrthemes i had the whole time recovery reboots. with touch til now no problems ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jadmask3rlm:
Just want to confirm cf root 6.4 cannot be use in stock jb? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ratsalad:
I used it okay in all the JB leaks with no issues except CWM Manager app having limited functionality (which is well known about) so I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work on the official release of JB
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 89dogg:
i tested it only with omega (jb leaks) and it didn't worked. did full wipe, flashed stock firmware and again omega, format sd cards.. nothing resolved my problem which i commented above.

so, i'm now running touch version.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
I can confirm that this version works on at least ten of the varying JB builds .

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 89dogg:
did you tried to flashe a vr theme zip?

rom/update zip works also for me sometimes, but vr themes aren't possible to flash in my case.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sarbe:
I've used with vr themes, no problems.

"OTA updates

CF-Root v6.3 supports OTA updates to be flashed by the system, but when you flash an OTA, that OTA will probably replace recovery (and keep trying to do so at every boot). You need to re-flash CF-Root after applying an OTA. Just re-flashing CWM will not work and stock recovery will keep coming back."

This means OTA updates of official firmwares by Samsung right? Sorry for the noobness. New S3 user.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bdastoor:
Your device will be unrooted .... Yes. But device status may still show up as "Modified". A reset will solve that issue.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sarbe:
He said he wanted to go back to non rooted stock, I told him how, if he had mentioned system status I would have told him that also.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] swapniltiwari:
Okay yea Coool..but I think that i'll keep it rooted.. I'll root again when on jb through cf root..

Question about upgrading.

I have a quick question. :confused:

After the phone has been rooted by using this method, with Original Firmware, can I still get Samsung's Firmware Upgrade (via internet connection) when the newer version available?

Thank you very much in advance for your reply. Have a great day.

:o
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 89dogg:
yes you can.

the only thing what will happen is, that root will be gone. you'll have root again after update ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ricomoz:
and how to unroot in order to solve the 'modified' status?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
Search for triangle away form mr cf
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ricomoz:
As i know and i used triangle away, it only reset the counter.. But Device status still as modified and also in download mode it says custom not official

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
Seems it dont work on some fw. Read the triangle away thread and or ask there :)

As I never used triangle away. Flash count is on 89 :P

In my contract it does not say I brake warranty if I flash custom ROMs or root.

Sry cant help you much more.

Edit: flash your regions stock fw and root will be gone.

Edit2: well flash the fw you are on now :P
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Damien74:
Hey

I have used CF. And I want to keep the phone as close to stock as possible but still be able to manually (well manually through ROM Toolbox) tweak this and that.

As of now some things do not work. I am presuming that is because the kernel is not insecure. I have only used CF, nothing else.

So. I am running XXBLH3, latest from Kies update apparently. But looking for insecure kernels on http://androidfirmwares.net, I only find insecure kernel from june 5th, that is XXALF2.

Any tips on where I can find insecure version of XXBLH3 or atleast closest match? :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
I can make you one, but why you think it needs to be insecure? What is not working for you?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Damien74:
The 2 main things right now is settings for memory card speed and being able to alter max/min speed of CPU.

Altering CPU does not work at all, completely inactive and I am fairly sure its because its stock kernel.

I can set memory card speed, but it will not apply at reboot even tho I set it to. With or without USB debugging enabled.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
Insecure Kernel is to get root in adb, nothing to do with oc/uc, you need a custom kernel with oc modules.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Damien74:
Okay. How do I get an easy (or atleast semi easy :o ) over look of those?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] clouds5:
Since i installed official JB CF-root 6.4 wont install CWM anymore^^ root works fine but no CWM after 3 trys... Normal? Should i redownload and try again?

The latest is .

CF-Root for SGS3 v6.4:

But if you don't know what root is and cannot find a file then don't root your phone .

Rule is root when needed not for any other reason as it does nothing to your phone voids warranty and blocks OTA updates .

I have some trouble with CWM Manager...

Its says this:

''This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWMv1.1 or newer.

It appears you are running a different recovery.

Various features have been disabled.

I wanted to do a Nandroid but not possible now...

I reflashed latest v6.4 tar, but same...

Recovery version: v5.5.0.4:: CF-v1.5

CWM Manager v3.60

Has this something to do with JellyBean not supported?:(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] laneyofdeath:
Yes that's exactly it. Still boots,into recovery though
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Jeurum_92:
Recovery works fine, only the Nandroid option is disabled in CWM Manager..

I've read in the CWM manager thread that more people have this, all on JB.

Not supported yet:(

EDIT: Does it work with all builds? I am on IMM76D.I9300XXBLH3.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
No you dont..and yeah it works with all builds :) its has got nothing to do with which rom you are on.it basically install's a recovery on your mobile which would allow you to flash other roms.and root's your current stock rom in the process.no worries :) don't need to wipe or anything but yes you absolutely need to wipe if your'e gonna install an AOSP rom or a MIUI rom (roms with a different framework other than stock touchwiz).make a backup for just incase anything goes wrong and copy it to your computer/laptop too.

The zip file in itself IS the rom. And a word of caution... Dont ever mess with stuff you don't know about.ask somebody or search the forums before doing anything serious which may screw up your phone.these things are pretty fragile and bloody expensive.

You have to have unmodified kernel matching your firmware version and stock recovery. Look for your fware from sammobile.com, i think that all release firmwares are downloadable, even finnish versions:)

I am unable to make a nandroid backup to external SD. It says it can't mount the card. It's FAT32. Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Vatoe:
I have mentioned this in the other thread -

Mount the SDcard first in 'mounts and storage' menu (second last option), then go to "-mount /sdcard". Then attempt to do your backup, you will find that it will work.

Chainfire is working on a fix as we speak...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] liamR:
As I understood this CF-Root doesn't replace my original kernel, only modify it and add SuperSU, CWM and CWM Manager.

So I if I could delete SuperSU and CWM Manager then change the back to the original recovery I should be OK (for Warranty purpose) ?

Is there a way to change back to the original recovery (remove CWM) without to flash the original kernel (that still not available anywhere) ?

Cwm manager is an app made by chainfire exclusively for the s3.its like rom manager but without the risky stuff that could brick your phone.not that i know exactly why..buts its better advice if you stick with the app that comes with rooting process.there might be an app called CWM in your app tray after you rooted your phone.

I have I9300XXDLIB on my S3 and the last CF root. The problem is that I can't flash most of the ZIPs that I have from the recovery, it always says "Installation aborted". I also get the message saying “This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v.1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled”.

Root is OK.

The message doesn't matter for me, but the inability of flashing ZIPs is very important for me.

Anyone knows a solution?
