Huh? But then there'd be no power going to the phone? Or are you being funny ;)

Seriously, do I download KIES first? Then after step 10 disconnect phone from Mac? And finally, how do I re-boot?

root with 4.1.1 i9300 on mac

Hey.. i just got my SIII i9300 with 4.1.1, and I'm looking for a process to root it on my Mac.. this tutorial seems tobe the best one, but as I'm reading around: it doesn't work with 4.1.1.. is it true? is there any possibility to "upgrade" this process? And also, could I use a newer version of ClockWorkMod?

Tks, I really would like to root my SIII before start using it (grab my titanium backup from my GNexus and all stuffs)..
[Galaxy S III General] koolerking:
Unfortunately this way doesn't work for me. Hiemdall 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 crashes when i try and start the root so im stuck. I would literally pay large amounts for some to root and install super nexus on my SGS3. I have not access to a windoze machine, which would be easier and ive tried to go the route of using a VM on the mac and that didn't work either!

{solution] Error: Partition "recovery" Does Not Exist In The Specified Pit

FYI,

I don't know the the pit file has been updated since this guide was produced but I kept getting this error when trying to run heimdall

# heimdall --pit s3pit --recovery recovery.img
.,,
Error: Partition "recovery" Does Not Exist In The Specified Pit

after a bit of googling I eventually found the solution is that the partition names are case sensitive, and so you should use

# heimdall --pit s3pit --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot

PS: I added the no reboot, because my SG3 would give me the install from zip option in recovery mode, so I had to follow the instructions I found in another post ...

1) When flashing the CF-Auto-Root.tar.md5 using odin tick the No reboot box

(translates to, use the --no-reboot option with heimdall)

2) Remove the battery after the download is complete

3) Start recovery mode by pressing Vol Up, Home & Power as the first thing you do

It would be good if the OP could edit their first post to use --RECOVRY instead of --recovery

Regards,

Banjo

[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
I just got my phone back from LG, but they have pre-installed the new OTA update from February, so I can't root it anymore.Is there a way for me to root it? Maybe, if, you know, I followed the the last steps of the unbricking guide where I have to flash the original ATT images?
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
You need to follow the entire unbricking guide. The last steps require root, and the steps leading up to that are what allow you to get root in the first place.

Although it will bring you to the original AT&T ROM, keep in mind you will be rooted even after flashing them and there really isn't a clean way to get back to a fully unrooted ROM.
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
Thanks, I didn't need an unrooted ROM, anyway.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
If you are going straight to CM9 or another flashed ROM, then you can skip the last steps and just install CWM from the Korean ROM. Although you may still want to flash the baseband/firmware images.
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
Should've read this earlier.....followed the whole unbricking process. Oh well, I'm on the CWM Flashable ICS leak now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yud:
A couple of days after installing Tapatalk 2 on my TF I stopped having access to the XDA forums from my TF. Prior to this problem I was able to browse the forums (stock browser) and access from Tapatalk. Now I can use neither.

Other machines on my network can access the forums. My SGS can access the forums using either a browser or Tapatalk.

Tethering my TF to my SGS did not help. Same results: "webpage not available" in browser, "failed to connect to furum" in Tapatalk.

I can access other forums in both the browser and Tapatalk on the TF. It's only the XDA forums that's giving me errors.

I uninstalled Tapatalk but browser was still giving error (webpage not available). Reinstalling Tapatalk did not help.

I looked at the hosts file but there are no entries there (except for localhost).

My linux command line knowledge is limited but I tried nslookup and host commands (using terminal), with all results fail (including other web sites) so I must be doing something wrong.

I have not tried rebooting yet as my uptime since the last RR/SOD on .24 is 304 hrs (the longest I have ever had on ICS) and I want to see how far I can get before my next RR.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I can access www.xda-developers.com using the browser but not furum.xda-developers.com

Also: when I tested tethering I was using my SGS 3G connection (obviously) so it eliminates a network issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
That's a strange one... Do you have any kind of ad-blocking software installed?

I don't think it's Tapatalk as I use it normally, but I'm replying now from the browser without any issues. Tried for stock browser and Dolphin- both worked fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yud:
No ad-blocking software installed, stock .24, not rooted, no tweaks. All standard stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yud:
An update:

The bad news: I had RR an hour ago.

The good news: the reboot fixed the problem... I can now access the forums using both Tapatalk and the stock browser.

thanks for your tips btw, its been guiding me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
Well it depends where you have changed stuff. Best bet would be indeed download a gb rom for your phones region and flash it throught pc odin with a pit file. Follow dr Ketans thread in sticky section of development. If you do that you are likely to get default stuff back. After that a full factory reset on gb should help to. Google for reset code which you enter in dialer. Cant remember but it ended in 3855. Dont do that in ICS btw. All ICS has bug where wipe or hard reset can brick your phone

Where did you change stuff for your radio btw?

well for more information, i got the 2.3.6. hong kong (wipe) rom from dr k on another thread and its working beautifully.. however i do miss the 4.0.3 that was installed on this note at first...

i used ODIS to install 2.3.6 through computer.. wondering would i be able to use that for ICS?

and when i download the ICS rom does it have to be the HONG KONG version or any version?

sorry for asking so many questions.. im just soo curious haha.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
Check your CSC code of phone. Dial *#06# to get imei. Enter that in *272*imei# that should match your rom in order to update. You can change it there to but it will initiate a full wipe.

Also if you are rooted best to unroot before updating via kies.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisjm00:
Hello all,

I was wondering something. If anyone could give me a

specific

ICS leak that has a good, responsive keyboard that would be great. All the leaks that I have tried have had terrible keyboards. I would be typing and they would miss letters, sometimes my keypress wouldn't even register on the keyboard. Another requirement is that the leak can be installed in SAFESTRAP. I have no desire to change my main rom, I like having something solid and reliable in case something goes awry in the other rom. I was also hoping for more of a response than "Here is a link to a thread that has every leak available, figure it out for yourself".

Hi,

I have just rooted the S3 using odin. All installed ok. Installed ClockworkMod recovery and selected the backup ROM option. Phone rebooted in to recovery and the backup failed.

Used the volume keys and selected reboot now and hit the power button and the menu dissapeared leaving the Clockworkmod logo in the middle of the screen, nothing happened. Click the power button again and the menu comes back. Click the front button and nothing happened.

Tried turning off the phone and it goes back in to the recovery menu. Pull out the battery and put back in and goes back to recovery.

I can't select any option in recovery menu and can't reboot the phone normally. Any ideas?

To confirm v 5.8.4.1 is installed.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bark777:
Running stock gb. Is there an app to make my phone switch to AC charging when using my car charger? I know I can solder pins 2 and 3 together to get the effect. I did that to my old charger, but I have a new charger and I don't want to modify it. I am going to solder a small USB extension cable if not. Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djbxp:
How to generate AC signalling when charging from USB port.

You can make it with extension cable, a resistor (50 K ohm min , 150 K ohm max) and PVC insulating tape. Cut the extension cable so you will have 2 ends with 4 wires.

red as Vcc+ 5V

white and green as D+ and D- (data)

and black as ground.

Lets assume that the big USB plug you gonna plug on the charger, is the input to our modification, and the wire with the female plug is the output of our modification.

We don't need the green and white data wires that coming from the input, since those are the "USB" signals. We need only the 5V voltage which is the red and black, so we must insulate with tape white and green. Don't strip them, just insulate.

On the output cable with the female USB plug we still have 4 wires and we gonna connect the ground directly with the input ground. Strip the ends, twist together and insulate with tape.

Then connect the red wires (input and output) and the resistor one end ALL Together and insulate with tape. (3 points as one - red, red, resistor)

Strip wires, twist together with resistor's one end and insulate. Leave resistors other end free for later.

Then strip and connect the output signal wires together (the green and white you have available) with the resistors free end. (3 points as one, white, green, resistor's 2nd end). Strip wires, twist all together, Insulate with tape and you are ready. You can insulate the resistor with tape and all the wires together so it will be nice looking. Try to make it straight and not too thick.

If you have the battery widget application by ELVISON installed you will see that your device has switched to AC mode.

Also, this is going to work as AC on a usb port of a PC. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Going on the above post you could use a micro extension cable and just create a short six inch extension that can be used on any usb cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JaimeZX:
Why would one do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
The microUSB charging spec requires a dedicated charging port to have two of the pins shorted together so that the phone can detect that it isn't a USB port/hub on the other end. A USB port can only supply 500 mA whereas a charging port (one that isn't trying to pass data and has the two wires shorted) can supply 1000 mA.

Many "cheap" (and a lot of "expensive") car adapters don't have the pins shorted so the phone thinks there is a live USB port on the other end and "protects" it by drawing under 500 mA from it. As a result, they only charge the phone "half as fast" as they could (assuming they could put out the full "1 A" = 1000 mA, check the label).

The "fix" is to short the pins together, either in the charger itself, or in the connecting cable.

The "fast charge mode" some kernels and ROMs supply basically tells charger in the phone, "Ignore what the cable is telling you, just turn off USB data and pull 1000 mA." Hence the warnings that you may permanently damage your computer or charger.

I made a mistake of installing Mobile Odin Pro on my friends Galaxy Note I717 (Bell) and now I can't boot into OS anymore. When rebooting system it just keeps going to CWM. We have tried full wipe it is still stuck on CWM.

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] th3g1z:
Installing Mobile Odin on the i717 is one thing, flashing stuff through it is another, Mobile Odin does not support i717 yet as you may have realized in the process. Did you flash anything using Mobile Odin on the i717?

Was CWM installed prior to using Mobile Odin?

I would download ODIN on your computer, find a bell stock image, and using ODIN on your COMPUTER to reflash it back to stock, and hopefully that will bring you back. OR if you are able to get into CWM, from there flash a i717 version of CWM (or TWRP which is found in the i717 dev sub forum) and reboot into that recovery, have a compatible ROM on your SD card and then flash that, as well as a compatible kernel if the ROM doesn't include one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andruyd:
There was nothing flashed through Mobile Odin. After that we installed Quickboot Reboot app. Thats when the CWM bootloop happened. So my friend flashed pda-odin-bell-stock.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599127

Does he need to flash the kernel separately (after or before) and which one?

Turn off the automatic time zone under settings-->time and date. It stops the problem immediately. I had the same issue. No biggie now.

Turn off the roaming warning since I'm sure it doesn't deter you from placing your calls. Settings -->Mobile Network--> Roaming Guards. I did this as well because it irritated me.
