Hi all was going well did I tried a Nandroid backup . . says that it could not create path, and the the back button stopped working. .

All OK now, but how can I overcome this issue . . incidentally, I haven't installed any Busybox yet . . could this be the problem . ??:confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
Nope, Busybox has nothing to do with Nandroid :)

I hear there is a possible jelly bean update due on the 29th i was just wondering will this root file still work cheers
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gee2012:
I think it will be september or october. But UK is one the first normaly for upgrades. What file do you mean, CF-Root? Yes CF Root works on JB, but just flash the JB rom with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] steha:
How would i do that and can i do it through PC odin? Just changed from sony ericsson so not quite 100% on using odin cheers
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gee2012:
Yes, download the latest CF-Root, open Odin v3 3.0.4 and place CF-Root in PDA. Connect your phone (enable usb debugging in development options) in downloadmode with the pc and when recognized in IDCOM click start. Takes 20-30 seconds and you`re rooted, have busybox and CWM. See item 1 in my signature.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] steha:
Ok thanks for your help
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] arjunpaliath:
If I update to 4.1 from 4.0.4 using OTA update, will the root be still valid? And if not should I just follow the CF Root procedures again?

And two more of my noob questions :confused::confused:

Is whether the device status will change from modified on applying this root?

After applying OTA update, if the root disappears, will the device flash counter increase or the device status revert back to normal?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Once more OTA will fail if rooted.

Updates can not revert the flash counter only Triangle Away .

Maybe a fault in Tb (don't quote me). I needed yo restore some apps other day and it kept saying I needed to tick unknown sources box which I had done already. First time it said no way but then I tried again and it worked. Dunno if it possible bug or not as I say just thought I'd let u know
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Im suspecting PEBKAC in my case cause TB reported not being able to get ahold of system/xbin/su and I tried flashing busybox to system/xbin and TB worked again.

Will this root set my phones as "custom" when i search for OTA updates?

I wonder cause i just installed latest JB leak,and then this root.

When i search for OTA updates i get a message about my device have been modified.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Two points

One it is now a custom setting and rom counter is no longer zero .

OTA updates may fail to install .

Second point you have a non Samsung firmware so OTA cannot identify your firmware .

Not compatible with ROM Manager ! Use the CWM Manager provided instead (installed by CF-Root automatically)

My phone just updated to the latest OTA firmware this evening. Will this rooting method still work?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Siberian Tiger:
Yes it works ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 1982Strand:
Hey guys. Sorry, another noob here :) But it's pretty confusing stuff here for a first timer, he!

I just rooted my s3 a while ago with CF, but didn't flash anything else afterwards. I simply rooted my phone, nothing more.. And now there's an OTA update (small - 17mb). First time, i tried simply proceeding, but when the phone reboots to apply the update, it fails around 25% or so.

I read that i could make it work, by flashing the stock recovery for my build back on the phone. So i just want to get it right:

First, i take recovery.img from the stock rom version i use and flash it onto phone via ODIN. (Used this tool 1 time, could someone perhaps quickly go through the procedure for this particular task, step by step, so i don't mess it up?)

Then Proceed with applying OTA update, which should now succeed.

After this, i simply go through the CF rooting process again from the beginning, to get the cwm recovery back.

So no wiping of any kind is needed, all my apps+data and so on will be intact?

Thanks for your help and patience! :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mikep99:
Hi Strand,

You should be able to flash the OTA through CWM. You will lose root so you'll have to reroot using the method you used first-time...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 1982Strand:
Ah, ok, thanks!

..But where can i find the OTA file? (And what's the filename?) I downloaded it and chose "later" when it asked for me to update. But i'm unable to locate the file on the internal sdcard?? I'm guessing it's a zip or tar file?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mikep99:
I think they're stored in the /cache directory. It will be a zip file.

If not, you should be able to download the OTA from the Sammobile firmwares website.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 1982Strand:
Ha, found it as we speak.. It's in cache/fota and it's an update.zip :) But thanks!

EDIT:

Just tried to flash it, but i get a Status 7 error. I read somewhere that if i've edited any files in /system, it will fail to update. I modified my hosts file and put in some extra sounds for ringtones, notifications and so on.. But the error i get, is that because i made those changes? Or could it be something else?

Thanks

Does this work with (leaked) OTA JellyBean ROM "Nordic countries	14 Sep 2012	4.1.1	I9300XXBLH3	I9300XXDLI7	264.3 MB" ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
yes, it does.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] K4P1:
I just flashed it and it seems to be working.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 89dogg:
i've a question.

it's possible, that with cf root isn't possible to flash roms and other zip files from int. sd card?

i'm only able to flash it from ext sd card. everytime when i'm trying to flash from internal, the flashprogress stops while loading the scripts abruptly and recovery restarts. from ext. sd card i havn't this issue.

the problem is, that no log or message appears which shows the problem, so i don't know what exactly is happened.

any known issues like this or not?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 89dogg:
i flashed a few hours ago latest cf root.

flash from ext. works fine. from int. some zip files worked, but the most files can't be flashed...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bdastoor:
Is there a solution to this?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] K4P1:
I think this doesn't work with the newest leaked OTA (XXDLI8), like "Nordic countries	16 Sep 2012	4.1.1	I9300XXBLH3	I9300XXDLI8	264.4 MB".

I flashed cf-root, but at boot there were no installation log on screen and supersu and su (binary) is missing.

btw. installing this DLI8 were really difficult for me anyway. I had to do factory reset etc. and now I'd like to use Titanium Backup to restore some programs (but su is missing :crying: )

EDIT:

I think I managed to install it. After flashing, when rebooting I pressed vol up + power + menu and the it installed needed files.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 89dogg:

hey guys, got my slll yesterday and I am very happy with it. The only thing that sucks is the advertising so I want to root my first Samsung smartphone (the standard Rom is okay for me) , last one was HTC desire. I know chainfires apps and they are really good, I will root my phone tomorrow because I trust him.

I have just one question because I feel like a noob in Samsung section: is there a nand unlock (called s-off @ desire) too or is everything unlocked after this method? I mean the whole system available in file managers?

and another one: if I root with this method and make a backup after rooting it I have my standard slll Rom available even if I flash 10 completely different Roms in the future? I never knew that, so when I root, backup standard software, try other Roms, I can always revert to stock (inclusive root for sure) when I restore my backup? just in case I Iike the stock Rom more.

IMPORTANT IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ THE WHOLE POST: when I root with this can I keep everything stock (and backup this) but install root apps and disable ads?

thanks for your help :)

There is no S-OFF with Samsung. If you do a Clockwork Nandroid backup you can always go back to it.

Flashing other roms will depend on the rom for root, or not.

Be aware the original CWM and the touch CWM backups are different, you will need the right one to restore the system. Either keep them in different folders or only use one type.

PLEASE NOTE, your S3 has an internal SD card, if you back up to this and install a custom rom you will probably lose the backup. Always back up to the EXTERNAL SD card! :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cmajetic:
thank you. 2 questions:

why can it be that the backup on internal storage is deleted when I flash a rom?

how big is a backup of the original firmware, latest update? I just have 4gb sdcards and should they be formatted ext3 or ext4?
