Im not new to rooting, but new to this locked phone rooting...Once i root I have plans to use VooDoo sim unlocker to unlock the phone to all networks anyways...:cool:

I´ve tried to root my phone x2 now and it doesn´t seem to be able to mount my sd card.... what does that mean, I get root access but it seems that I can´t flash zip files via Recovery?

When I have rooted the phone it waits 20 seconds to Mount my sd card but nothing happens :/

My SIII is coming and I want to know if the problem with S-beam still persists after rooting? I saw some people talking about it some pages ago... Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] corkie1:
If I do that I guess I loose all current settings etc? Is there anyway to just apply the firmware updates and keep your existing layouts settings tweaks etc when you're rooted?

Phone Freeze

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I have installed the 6.3 rom and everything seems to be working well and fine. But I have found that on occasion (so far 3 times this week) the phone freezes. Either freezing with the screen black or freezing with the screen on. Has anyone had this occur as well?

Also I have found that when the phone has been sitting idle for a while and I receive a phone call it takes a little while for the screen to register that I am swiping to answer.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks for the root/rom its awesome and sooo soo easy.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SAEVARM3:
Can please somebody help me with this, I even tried to flash a new Firmware and CF-Root just can´t Mount my SD-Card :/ ... what the hell is going on

Connection problem

Hi,

I have just bought a galaxy SIII.

I have installed the USB driver and confirmed working on both debugging mode and non-debugging mode.

But no matter which version of Odin3(1.84, 3.04 and 3.06) I am using, it just cannot connect(Phone in download mode).

Anything that I have missed??

Info:

I9300XXLEF

3.0.15-570657-user

IMM76D.I9300ZSALED

I am new with Samsung device.

Many thx.

Hi guys all I want to do is install the OTA updates. I'm rooted using 6.2

I read on another forum all I need to do is reroot with 6.3 and the Ota updates will work? Surely this is the easiest way? Then after the ota's are installed just reroot again with 6.3for full root access.

Does this sound correct?

Hey guys,

I want to update CF-Root. Whtat I've to do? Do I have to flash the new Kernel over the old?

Does this work on the latest firmware update?

And is it recommended to do a battery calibration after just rooting?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nadram:
As previously asked and answered 13 times in this thread only, yes it works on the latest firmware, whatever it is. Battery stats need not be reset, I think that would be encouraged with a Rom

Good luck

Any chance you develop cf-root / mobile odin support for the LTE version ?

Hi guys,

I was having some problems with accessing Clockworkmod via vol up+home+power.

It turned out ES File Explorer and the system mount setting was having some effects.

Anyway I've uninstalled ES File Explorer and reflashed CF-Root but I still cant get into recovery via Vol up + home + power up, what am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sodeknetters:
cf root process has run through completely without errors? If you are not 100% sure about this, I would suggest you start over with the instruction in the OP. afterwards you should be able to use the CWM app as well as being able to enter CWM recovery manually.

No backup??

Hi guys, i rooted with 6.3 and got my stock recovery problem fixed!

But one thing i worried about?

When i tried to do a backup it stated following:

"SD Card Space Free: 15188MB

Backing up boot img

Backing up recovery img

Backing up system

Backing up Data

No /sdcard/.android_secure found. skipping backup of application on extrernal storage.

Backing up Cache

No sd_ext found. SKipping backup of sd-ext.

Generating md5 sum...

Backup Complete!"

Did it really backup or didn't it do anything? let me know pls.

Thanks a bunch!

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
Well I'll do it again without having the SD card in as thats what I done first time round and everything worked.

I then installed Omega rom and came back to stock via backup and was told thats bad. I then reflashed stock rom and CF rooted again but ever since having these problems.

I think a fresh wipe and reinstall of everything is probably the way forward for me.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
Right this is what I've done.

Booted into Clockwork via the app it self

Wipe data/cache/dalvik

Installed Omega 7 from the internal SD Card

Tried to enter Clockwork - Doesnt work, into download mode I go

Re-flashed CF Root 6.3

Still cannot access Clockwork, instead I get standard recovery.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
unpack the ZIP download, you will end up with a TAR, flash this in ODIN as PDA,

Often a problem is failure to unzip or even a corrupt download .

I would do a complete wipe of the phone and install stock rom then root .

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Doughnut:
That's what I've done all along, unpacked to tar and flashed as PDA>

I've flashed to stock, still didnt work. So now I'm running Omega again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saitek1911:
Here, re-flash with this, it will most likely help since it can be odin or a corrupt download.

Rooted with your great app. Thanks chainfire! :D

Easy as pie as compared to Iphone's JB

Just another question. I did a nandroid backup using CMW. Everything was backup'ed including data. Is it possible to just use CWM to restore the data (apps/sms etc) only w/o touch the firmware/bootloader etc? Or do I have to use titanium for that?

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Seems like a stupid question, did you press volume up (for CWM) or down (for download mode)?

Power device off. Hold Vol up and home and press power on whilst still holding both other buttons. Or use cwm manager sure u can boot to either mode from there :-)

Flashing CF-Root with Linux

2nd July 2012, 10:57 PM - Must admit that this didn't work for me - this tells the tale.

8th July 2012 - Since I downloaded the recent OTA update to stock ROM, I've had to re-flash CF-Root. Heimdall 1.3.2 does seem to have problems with the SGSIII and the recommendation is to use Heimdall 1.3.1 - at least for i386 machines. I have just done this, without any problems, so I can vouch for this method as working now.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] feisu:
I downloaded latest cf-root (6.3) and flash it into my I9308 (China mobile custom build of I9300). everything works great but some of the great functions has disabled. such as nandroid (full device) backups . I can't find it in recovery menu. even in advance. any chance that you could make a custom recovery for i9308 mode? Thank you.

Crashing o/night

Hey guys,

Firstly thank you too Chainfire Awesome as always.

Any ideas as to why it would lockup/crash?

any questions happy to answer.

Thank for any help.

J

Update: just updated to 6.4 and left the phone charging in USB connector and it has just crashed again. This is really frustrating especially as I dont know why? or how to fix it? any help guys would be great. Thx

2nd Update: Ok it seems that the issue may have been the renaming of the OGG file that plays when you connect the phone to the charger I didnt rename it correctly to what it was before and have just done it now... as it turns out when correctly named this stops the phone from freezing/crashing. I dont know why but it seems to work.

Ok next question then how do we get rid of the noise played when you connect the phone to the charger.?

Let me say from the start, I'm no expert at this. But I find it interesting that there are so many people having problems installing cf root super root.

I used odin on my s3 to flash cf-root and cwm with no problems.

Installed odin mobile to flash from phone.

Is there a slight difference in h/w depending on region? Which maybe causing problems.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:

After using ChainFire-Root 6.4... It ll be possible still to use OTA update ?

Without any problems ?

Without any system error etc ? bricked phone ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JJEgan:
Instructions Post 2.

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.

Installed latest update of the SuperSU app from market, when I was prompted there was a new version.

Running the newly updated version, I was prompted to update the binary, where I only got Installation failed.

I later noticed that neither of the apps that previously had root access was now unable to get so (even the root checker).

Tried downgrading the app, tried Switch superuser app (wich kinda did nothing at all, same for Reinstall).

Would running the whole Orion root install fix this for me, or.. what should I do?

How about you please read a few posts in this thread before you ask these questions that have been answered so many times.

You will get the ota notification and it will work.

Now ask if you lose root after ota update.

I have the latest CF-Root and was able to install the last OTA XXALF2 successfully using CF-Root and the fix to allow OTA to be flashed via the CWM recovery.

However the latest OTA ( I assume to version XXALF6) fails.

Does anyone know why? Is it posible that a theme I flashed could be responsible? I'm still on stock Samsung odex rom.

Simple solution is to join XDA Development forum and move away from provider updates via Kies or OTA .

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] edd080:
When you say phone providers you mean, the operator company that gives me the phone connection? Doesnt the gs3 connect to a Samsung server via internet in order to check for updates? I live in Malta, Europe, so i might assume it might connect to maybe a Samsung server in Italy, or maybe Germany. I do not believe my country hosts a Samsung server so that is why I am asking....

Thanks for the advice, i'm well aware of the pro's and cons (i am still a nexus one owner and have been in the game for 3 years - aka not a noob).
