chainfire is making a fix but it's not finished yet. you can still flash siyah kernel via odin and you'll get cwm recovery..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
I installed this without an SD card and tried to enter download mode to see what it says and it went into Clockwork Recovery...

If I wanted to go back to complete stock for the purposes of warranty, am I right ion assuming I'd have to do the following:

Triangle away to reset counter

Flash stock firmware with Odin

???
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] r3act:
Thanx I'll try that kernel, and keep following on chainfire here!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] skodri:
you can use triangle away to restore your flash counts (in download mode).

if you don't care about this you can just simple flash stock via odin and root will dissapear.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] corkie1:
Ah OK I didn't realise. I've downloaded the update again and I'll move it somewhere else. Do you have an email address for me to send to? I have no PC access for next few weeks but I can send from phone. This is the 21.1mb - I believe there is a second one also
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sunnylovesalman:
Chainfire in next to GOD , when its ANDROID.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] smsmasters:
Same problem here, I'm on the latest stock UK ROM
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] WhiteHartMart:
Yea -its being worked on as the last few pages of this thread confirm ;-)

You can either wait for a fix or in the meantime flashing a different kernel (SiyahKernel in my case) via Odin/Mobile Odin gave me access to CWM.

My phone is untouched right now and I would like to do a nandroid backup and EFS backup first. Will flashing that kernel affect the backup?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] diabolis:
i also odined the latest stock lf2 rom and rooted with 6.2.. but have no problems going into CWM recovery unlike most of the guys??.. i didnt used the volup+home+pwr.. i just use CWM manager and go recovery from there and no problems.. maybe give a try..

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MALmen64:
Why doesn't the factory reset i CWM Recovery clear the virtual SDCARD?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Because it's not supposed to ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MALmen64:
The original recovery does that?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Your point being ? CWM doesn't, and it shouldn't.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fishcake13:
Chainfire is crazy good! XD
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MALmen64:
Okay.. hehehe... :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
CF-Root has been updated to v6.3 !

(Changes: massive SuperSU update, CWM can now flash OTA's, CF-Root script will try to fix stock recovery coming back after flashing CWM)

If you have the stock recovery coming back issue, flash v6.3.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sathkartha:
sorted out...thought I had a problem with this release,regret intrusion.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] conectix:
how do we upgrade from 6.2 to 6.3? im very interested with the OTA updates. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nadram:
Same way you did it the first time. Flash 6.3 on top of 6.2

Sent from my SGS3
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] conectix:
sorry, i misread the instructions for the upgrade on your first post. so i just need to do a reflash. anyway, thanks chainfire! great work! again!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mloc33:
Alright folks, just got my SGS3 today, could`nt wait to play around with it so I went ahead and rooted via the OP guide.

Now where it say`s... NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens....in the OP, my phone did`nt reboot into recovery, so I did the process again and still did`nt boot into recovery but I have SuperSU and CWM in my app drawer, so I`m assuming that cause it did`nt boot into recovery, that`s every things still fine?

I used Titanium Backup and it gained root no problem..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
If you got SuperSU and CWM, it did boot into recovery, maybe you missed seeing it. Otherwise these would not be installed :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Northern-Loop:
Cheers for the updates.

I don't fancy using ROM Manager anymore so is it possible to add a ROM ZIP Flash Queue to CWM Manager?

So I can add the latest CM9, Gapps etc?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
It's coming someday, but it's very low on my to-do list, tbh.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Northern-Loop:
Cheers :)

I know its not a major issue flashing zips manually but its nice to queue them.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mloc33:
That quick is it, maybe I did miss it, any ways as long as everything is hunky dorie, I`m happy, cheers man!

I am on 6.2 and upgraded to 6.3 using Mobileodin. Phone reboot fine.

I reapply franco.Kernel r3 using Mobileodin, now phone is stuck at boot screen. What can I do?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] noob 911:
im now on the 6.2...so how do i upgrade to 6.3...? i root my phone by using the cf-root method...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nEUTRon666:
Just like you did with 6.2, odin or mobile odin, flash it ...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] swipermusic:
All done, triangle away reset counter, thanks very much top work.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] noob 911:
so i dun have to clear or delete the old files...? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Fornowagain:
No, no deleting. Just flash over.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wraithdu:
It's probably a little premature to ask, but any idea if this method supports the US AT&T SGSIII? I'm not sure what the model number would be, but I think I'll be pre-ordering mine tonight.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] m1ket:
Hi

I have the root app and the cwm app but when i boot into recovery id doesnt go to the CWM recovery but the standard 3e recovery, is this correct?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] smsmasters:
Same here, it's still happening to me even after the update.

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

I have to add, if I flash just CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5.zip I get the samsung recovery

however,

if I flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.zip CWM recovery and SU works.

It seems flashing just CWM doesn't work. Can anyone else confirm?

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

Matey, flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.zip it worked for me :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] m1ket:
I had used 6.2, flashing 6.3 did the job! Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Blackmajik:

Hi !!!

Upgrade ok :) Thanks Chainfire ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Vaddy23:
Quick question I don't see a .tar file after I extracted CF-Root_SGS3-v6.3.zip. Instead I see another file around 25.8MB with the same name. Do I just flash that using Odin in the PDA slot? Let me know please my SGS3 is going to arrive here today. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nadram:
Unzip once. Flash the SINGLE file you get. If you get 2 files then you unzipped once too many

Sent from my SGS3
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Blackmajik:
You are not seeing the extension since the icon is the same for .rar and .tar files. Enable to view extensions in File Explorer (Windows) - Tools, Folder Options, View, unclick Hide Extensions for know file types.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] diddsen:
@chainfire

what could be the reason that flash dont work... It is very suspicious.

neither with nor mobileodin odin3.xxx I get to it.

I come from and s2 do not know something ... with odin it was usually always.

'm kinda stumped ... but do not necessarily wipe

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] djglenn1337:
If I root as per this method does this mean that my warranty is void and i won't be able to update via Kies?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Siberian Tiger:
Yes your warranty is void but you can go back to stock firmware :)

You can update via Kies.Root doesn't affect programms ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] djglenn1337:
Thanks.

Does going back to stock show no sign of rooting, or would i need a USB jig or something to reset a counter? (for warranty purposes)

Thanks again
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Fornowagain:
Yes it would need a reset, it's in the OP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] romutis:
Help! What did I do wrong?

1) installed Samsung USB drivers for my SG-I9300.

2) downloaded "Odin3 v1.85.exe" and "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.zip".

3) unzipped "Odin3 v1.85.exe" CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.zip into CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.tar

4) exec Odin3 v1.85.exe and selected PDA->CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3.tar

5) switched off my phone and booted it into "downloading" mode

6) connected phone to PC

7) checked if "Re-partition" isn't checked.

8) Start!

9) messages:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aneeqkhan:
U should wait as interrupting it isnt such a good idea. Just report back if it isnt completed at all.

Edit

Also check if any instance of kies is running as it can b dangerous.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] romutis:
OK, I've interrupted it after 1 hour of doing nothing. It boots normally, it works as before like no commands were sent to phone, nothing was changed by ODIN app.

P.S. I have no Kies running.

Chainfire, a few of us are having issues with receiving no sound when we have an incoming call.

In this thread one of us even reverted back to stock out the box and the problem reappeared once he rooted his phone.

I'm not a developer so I can't give any significant insight. I was wondering if anything came to mind.

Thanks for reading.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kakesen:
My phone wouldn't reboot into CMW recovery after flashing, tried it like 4 times, downloaded the .tar again etc. Ended up unticking "auto reboot" in odin, and manually forcing recovery after the flash was finished using vol up + home + power. It then automatically entered CMW and successfully installed SuperSU etc.

Thought I'd mention it in case other were having the same problem. I'm on BUALF1. Thanks to chainfire for your great work!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wolfboy1984:
I'm on 6.1, I can't seem to make a nandroid back up? Is/was that a known issue??

Found my problem! It's unbelievable but it works only if I connect phone using USB-cable that came together with SGS3. With this cable only! I have bunch of cables for bunch of different Android phones but SGS3 works with his cable only. It's [be-e-e-p] unbelievable!!!

So, with "native" cable everything works like a charm - got root in 30 secs. :)

Wow, that's a subtle problem... Good idea to mention it though, in case other folks have got failures, changing the cable would be worth trying before yelling at chainfire. ;)

For info, I used the cable from my old Sony Xperia X10 and it worked fine (mainly because I couldn't be bothered to root around the back of my PC to change cables). :D

@ Chainfire:

I rooted the S3 using one of your packages here. Is it possible to flash back the S3 stock recovery afterwards without loosing root? It's because i wanna keep S3 OTA update ability. I would then use Mobile ODIN Pro to perform the official ROM updates.

Please tell me how to keep root and OTA update ability but with stock recovery.

Syscope frozen in titanium backup after flashing

I noticed that "syscope" process become frozen in titanium backup after flashing this kernel, and if i go in the "system info" and then "status" the phone appears "modified". I i defroze the process, the status become "normal" again. Why?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ghul21:
Hehe i think it's a VERY GOOD NEWS:cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aneeqkhan:
Tried to recreate it but it didn't defrost.titanium shows a message that it has been defrosted but the system didn't change. I rechecked the titanium and it was again frozen. So perhaps it isn't getting defrost properly.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] renton82:
But is this process usefull or it must be remain frozen due to cf root? However if u want to defrost it , u must use batch action in titanium and select "unlock all user and system application....".

i mean in the menu-about phone-check for updates...

will it never show any updates there anymore after root?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] laneyofdeath:
Think it will but if u used ota it would remove root anyway
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] njord74:
What do you mean by OTA..? How can anything remove root anyway, besides flashing original firmware..?

I'm new in this but if I understand right, when an update comes and I download it and install it,I will lose root and my phone will under"phone status"show not modified? As stock?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] laneyofdeath:
Ota means over the airwaves and yes if u install this update ur phone will lose root. Not sure bout modified/normal did u use triangle away?

No, only root..But I haven't seen any updates yet tho.

Unless it works with the International and all US models putting Universal in the title would bring a lot of havoc to this thread...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
You must being using a root type file explorer (with su permission) and system mounted r/e.g. Then can open with text editor by long tap for options.

Edit: be careful there, screwing that up completely may prevent your phone from booting. Make sure you have a Nandroid backup before doing so.

CF you rocks as always! :D thanks for your efforts!

ps just a little Q: we should use the triangle away if we flash this kernel with mOdin?
