Are you finding it laggy at all? Also can you tell me exactly what way you rooted. Before all i did was when i was rooted with CF i just ran the OTA, lost root, and rerooted again with CF. From what i can tell some folks are saying this method doesnt work with JB and that you may have to go to recovery mode or something? Can you clarify?

Thanks

just ota updated my wife's stock, cf-rooted phone to jb and i also get the "Updates not available as device is modified" error

what does this mean? she's unable to receive further updates?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] edd080:
Iam getting the same thing here too, any way i can get official updates via ota back again? Thanks for the reply.

N00b question, but is the latest cf-root compatible with Jellybean, I tried it and didn't get root for some reason. none of the root apps would work.

International GS3 (o2) updated to JB over kies.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] giftedgiggsy11:
Ive just flashed CF-Root after upgrading to the new unbranded uk firmware and it gives me an error when starting kies saying that the service can't be started on the phone, was working fine before rooting, any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] K4P1:
I have same problem. I had 4.0.4 with cf-root 6.4 + busybox and after upgrading to "official" JB 4.1.1, I re-installed cf-root 6.4 but it didn't work (I have tried to reflash it again).

Somehow it doesn't run the script(s) (after booting) which installs su :crying:

Please (Chainfire) try to fix this :fingers-crossed:

Why so??

Is it so hard to trick the system in to believe that nothing changed after root??

From what I see, nothing is impossible to the devs...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
Its not impossible.but alot of people aren't in the favor of it (or they just don't care like me) cause it doesn't really matter.it isnt harming the system in any way.its just a silly option showing if the system is rooted or not.

Hi I`m in cf root 6.4 and when i connected with kies today the jelly bean update appears to me

could i upgrade safely or i need to remove cf root first ?

Will the custom recovery cause problems in upgrade ? Do i need to replace it with stock recovery first ?

Thanks in advance

Guys I flashed CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 with XXDLJ4... but everytime I run CWM the following msg appears..

"This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled"

CWM Manager version is 3.60 .. I cant see many options in CWM like Create Backup, Restore Backup, Install a Zip file etc etc.. how can I update my CWM version?? can somebody tell me what does this msg mean and what should I do??

---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ----------

No it shouldn't cause any problem.. cox I had a rooted BLG8 and I upgraded to DLJ4 via Kies without any issues.. and now I have again rooted it with cf root 6.4 ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mopral:
Once and for all: CWM manager app does not work on jelly bean (need to be updated by Chainfire)

Only thing to do: stop using app for now on JB and restart in recovery if you need to backup/restore/flash zip

I'm getting stuck on the "get PIT file for mapping" error in Odin. I've flashed 4.1.1 via Kies but I can't root the phone now. I've tried XP and Win7, and I've removed Kies. Does anybody know how to fix this? I've done lots of google searches but I can't find any working fixes.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] edd080:
Hi make sure that the tar file is placed in the pda part of Odin before starting to flash, you do not need to place anything in the pit part. Also if possible try using a 'clean' pc which never had kies installed and try flashing. If you still don't manage, try other usb ports of the same pc or laptop.

It happened to me sometimes and that's how i sorted it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AinsCrowbar:
I've flashed CFroot before so it has worked in the past. It's only now that Kies updated my phone that I now cannot flash anything through Odin (root or stock rom). I'm trying many different things at the moment but nothing seems to be helping unfortunately. Any other ideas? I've done what you suggested.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] edd080:
I am not sure if updating through Kies should have made a difference for your rooting; hence I updated and rooted via Odin. At this point I am out of ideas mate.. sorry.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] capricornian:
Rooting my virgin S3

Hey,

I am about to root thru CF root, so want to clear my last minute doubts. :confused:

Step 1: take kies backup for everything

Step 2:

this tar thru odin will install

- Root: SuperSU

- Recovery: ClockWorkMod

- Util: CWM Manager

Step 3: I also plan to use triangle away right away to reset my counter to zero,

step 4: do a nandroid (full device) backup right away and titanium backup for my apps, sms backup for smses

step 5: flash siyah kernel

Later..

step 6: (not now) flash AOKP as primary ROM and sammy as secondary ROM..

my query is do i have to do full wipe anywhere in between? or will it automatically do so?

also if n when do i need to check USB debugging in developer options??

as u can clearly see, i do not want to lose any data, so kindly point out any step i need to add in between to take further backups :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I read somewhere that kies doesnt like odin, so next time u wanna use odin make sure your kies is not running, not even in background, u can remove all the kies processes from task manager, before you use odin...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Acuap:
Hey. I Flashed it via odin, everything went great. CWM is installed but device is not rooted. I'm on Jelly Bean.

I also tried to do it again and it didn't work. Tried without Auto Reboot. Still no effect. Any ideas?

Did you reboot into recovery after the flash?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I have cf-root on stock 4.0.4 firmware. Also I use custom kernel (SiyahKernel)

Now I want to update with stock 4.1.1. However, when I check on phone, it says, there's no update for my phone.

When I check on Kies, it says my phone is not supporting Kies updates.

How can I update ?

Should I revert back to stock kernel ? Where can I find that kernel (CSC : I9300OJVBLH1) ?

Should I remove CWM ?

thx.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:
Yeah you need to revert back to stock through odin then check kies.your phone won't respond to official updates when it's modified.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
ok; I've installed stock kernel now. But it still can't find update.

what else ?

should I remove CWM also ?

if yes, how ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] saintsinner25:

try with this v3.07: http://www.mediafire.com/?ze217xnz54o38d9

First of all, thank you very much for trying to help me. Unfortunately neither 3.07 or 1.85 helped, they both did the same things. I also tried a different USB port and redownloaded the .tar file. I'm starting to think possibly the PIT really is corrupt on my phone, although it boots up fine. Do you by any chance have any more ideas? If not, you've helped me more than anybody else so far, so thanks :o
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] maranello69:
here are the pit files:

for 16 GB: http://filemac.com/6pupxhamtm94

for 32 GB: http://filemac.com/inx8ycab7058

..........220 (16G)

..........322 (32G)

be sure NOT to mix them, tick Repartition in Odin and select the coresponding .pit file

i also flashed with pit on my S2 and there where no issues, but this is a risky procedure and i advise you to be very careful

good luck ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AinsCrowbar:
Thanks for the links :) Do I flash the pit file on its own or do I need to couple it with a stock Rom? Also will it factory reset my phone? It's ok if it doze, I'd just like to know beforehand :P Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I know what I'm done.

Oh and I presume the .pit files are the same when regarding current ROM? I have 4.1.1 official BTU ROM installed. I presume that doesn't matter.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I'm not too sure why u went and flashed a pit file as this is for re-partitioning ur phone and is very dangerous.

But looking at ur photo.. Set up looks ok. U sure u had the right pit file?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] maranello69:
strange, really f'in strange.... I feel kinda bad now man, but this is the exact steps that I used on my S2 and no issues

The pit files are correct, you can search with Google and confirm that

There's definitely something wrong with your phone

Try to find a 3 file firmware and flash it again with Odin

If that doesn't work, only hope is warranty, sorry :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AinsCrowbar:
It's ok mate, I know you were trying to help. I've made a warranty request so hopefully I can get it fixed. I think there's a problem with my phone as I've had afew problems with the start. First time I opened it from the box, it wouldn't charge. I fixed it by blowing in the port like a Nintendo haha. I'll try flashing a 3-file firmware but it doesn't seem like I can flash anything. But thanks for the help anyway, I just hope Samsung will take my warranty haha.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ssdd48:
If you can still get download mode it shouldn't be bricked.

Try flashing the same file again but this time without the pit file and without re-partition ticked
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Landorin:
After reading some posts I'm apparently not the only one experiencing more lag than ever before. I upgraded via OTA to JB and all was cool.

Then rooted with CF-Root 6.4 and Odin, since then it is laggier. :(

Is that something Chainfire can fix? Or do I have to revert to stock somehow and not root at all?

I don't want to flash JB via Odin (kinda don't trust a firmware from 3rd party websites which remains on my phone as the final version).

Cheers,

Landorin

P.S.: also getting the modified, no software update available message now when manually checking for updates in settings menu.

I did the installation like the instruction, but it seems that something went wrong on CWM.

When I open the CWM application on the phone, a always get the message: "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."

I don't know which features have been disabled, the CWM application allows me to reboot into recovery or download mode, make a reboot and install an APK, what is missing?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ssdd48:
The CWM app is not compatible with jb yet but like you said you can still reboot into recovery and download mode so all is good.

You still have super user and root and we are all waiting for the app to be updated :D

Oh, so no wonder why my brother doesn't get that message, because he is still on ICS for MIUI Rom (we both rooted our SGS3's). That it was an issue with Jelly Bean wouldn't ever have came to my mind, thanks :D Often you don't see the obvious

Hi Chainfire.

Thanks alot for a great tool. Used it a couple of times and it works great.

Noticed one thing yesterday that could be worth mentioning to avoid others getting problems. I unpacked Odin and the cf binaries in a path with a space and the rooting process did not worked for me. Odin said something about that it was unable to establish a connection to the phone. When I noticed the space in the path I removed it and tried again and it worked like a charm this time. My guess is that it was this change that made it. Other things I tried was to close kill Kies on the computer.

Thanx again

The recovery is just a patch from Gokhanmoral credits all goes to him to make a touch recovery. If you go to Note2 thread there even a 6.0.1.5 version and I don't it's compatible for our device. I first thought that it was a newer version well I was wrong. It was meant for that device.
