[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jimbridgman:
No, because then who are the dumb a$$es going to blame and bug if it does not work, or breaks something.

Not a smart idea for a dev to post something that they are not sure of, and possibly have people lose faith in that developer. I know as a dev I would not post ANYTHING, that I was not sure if it worked or not. Even if I did it on a test unit, and not a retail phone.

Send me the stock boot image please so I can root it.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] CZ Eddie:
Unless you're going to install a custom ROM, it's not as important anymore to root these phones.

The SIII lets you uninstall [disable] almost any stock app you want.

After disabling a ****-load of stock apps, I am getting awesome battery & performance from my S III.

I'd like to see some theming and custom ROM's and overclocking though of course. :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
Eh, that's debateable. In the end it boils down to what you want to do with the device. For me? I want root so I can reinstall Cerberus to the System folder so even if someone wipes my phone, I can still track it. Can't do that without root.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] drawde40599:
Disabaling apps? U can't 100%;disable half this crap At&t put on here .

Awesome battery life? What r u comparison 2? The phone just came out.

Without Root and a custom rom this phone is a SLOW!! ass paper weight! Back to my Galaxy Nexus till we have root for me; )

Yell at me if u want but there's 1000's of us that would take this back to the store if there was no Root; )
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
Actually most of the AT&T stuff can be disabled. The only thing I really can't disable is AT&T Address Book. Other than that? Every AT&T App (all 5 of them) was able to be disabled.....so I'm not sure what you speak of.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Baldilocks:
Me either. Me thinks he doesn't even have the phone.....
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
Yea, this is actually the first AT&T Smartphone where I haven't cursed them out for the amount of bloatware installed. Granted I did immediately load Apex Launcher to tide me over until I can install CM9. I hate how touchwiz looks, but that's not AT&T, that's Samsung. This thing honestly speeds along, especially with websites. I'm also apparently in an LTE test area.....with a piss poor signal I was pulling about a 20mbit download and 13 mbit upload. I have to say, it's faster and more responsive than my GSII with CM9. That's impressive considering it is running TW.

Also from looking at his posts he did order it....so he could be using the GNex until he can. Though this pretty much is the GNex....just not running stock Android.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wgarrido:
Are you forgetting Titanium Backup oh and some Juice Defender stuff needs root. Root is the only way to go.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Frontier3:
Ya, the titanium backup thing is the biggest for me, i have 100 apps with incorrect settings and game save levels because i can't use TB yet!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TheSoberRussian:
Did we get it[root] yet? I'll test anything out.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] drawde40599:
actually I have 2 of them, and if u look, some of those apps r still running; ) . But ur right I'm just a dumb ass with no clue
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] entropism:
I sent you a PM, just need to know how to dump the boot.img and you'll have the link immediately.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jdbeitz:
Search dude. Someone literally just posted it somewhere
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] entropism:
jdbeitz, I've gone over every thread for the AT&T GS3, and i haven't seen a boot.img posted. Care to show me what you've found?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jdbeitz:
Ah sh1t. I didn't read that right. I thought he wanted a dump. My bad lol. Not sure how to get the boot image. I'd imagine it's a simple adb command though.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pinoymutt:
I believe it's a dd if= command, but usually you already have to be rooted to pull the boot.img since it's not part of the system dump - so it's kind of a catch 22.

I've heard of ways of temporarily pushing busybox via ADB to get a 'temp root' to pull it, but not sure if it is applicable to our phones...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] djkinetic:
Anyone needing a system dump to root the device, one has already been posted in the development section.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1724451

One positive to not getting the device day 1 is that by the time I have it, root and CWM should be out lol.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mskip:
Thats only a pull of the system folder it doesnt conatin any images or the boot image which is needed to gain root.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] djkinetic:
Ah didnt know he only pulled the system folder as I havent downloaded it. If I had the device I would do a pull of everything myself but alas amazon won't send me one till the 28th.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] entropism:
Tell me what I need to pull and I'll pull it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] djkinetic:
for the boot image you can use this command, am not sure if you need to be rooted however as it works on a nexus.

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

Edit: nvd just read the command needs root.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TheSoberRussian:
I got Clockwork recovery on my phone
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Swiftks:
Is the block the same on he SGS3 as the nexus? I'll give it a go in a bit. Shouldn't have to have root to issue adb commands.

One thing, do I need to issue the command from a certain place on the phone, like download mode? or can i just do it while the phone is on normally?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] djkinetic:
to issue commands you dont need root however, the command to dump images does require root if what i read in a previous thread is correct...you can check the locations of the partitions that requires root as well lol. you can issue adb commands when the phone is on normally just check usb debugging in the development options.

If anyone is brave enough they could try this method to root the device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 personally I wouldnt take my chances unless I could readily obtain another GS III (I am in no way encouraging anyone to try this as it may possibly BRICK your device)

otherwise maybe DesignGears would be so kind as to enlighten us on how he rooted a test device.

I just did the same way as Sprint, though it's risky
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] frankdogg:
I may wait until we have a working odin package to flash back to stock...or not ;)

I just read it and it doesn't seem too risky. Does the Sprint phone use the same kernel as Att one?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] howtomen:
i would hold up on root

i will be testing with 2 more people and i will be posting a root method maybe today or tomorrow

This is very early and halfassed root

im unsure of flashcounter or anything

but u get semi functional CWM and root. so please hold on while we post the instructions.

It should be called the Russian way, because it's rushed :laugh:

No? I tried.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lgkahn:
once someone is rooted. (which we have) can we not use dd and get the kernel off their phone and then make an insecure version of it so we can route in the normal fashion?

I would repost under the ATT section for all to use, but have noob restrictions on links etc... Can someone else please post up this information in the Dev section? This worked for me for root, CWM, busybox, and a couple of other applications to test. So far no issues, but YMMV.

As far as a boot img, if someone can PM me instructions, I'll get it sent ASAP.

I haven't been able to figure this out, maybe some of you have a solution.

I want the phone to go into battery saving (dim screen, lower sound, turn off wifi and other battery saving options) mode when ever I put it in my pocket.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
How, exactly, do you intend for the device to detect that it's in your pocket? The rest of what you ask would be quite easy to accomplish if you had a clear idea of how the profile would be triggered.

Proximity sensor would use up more battery than it would save. Light sensor wouldn't know the difference between a dark room and your pocket. Accelerometer wouldn't work either. If your phone was NFC capable, that could be an option.

You'd probably be better-served using something like JuiceDefender.

Thanks, and happy downgrading! =D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Bradh024:
will this cause a continuous bootloop on sense roms?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
In some cases yes. On my phone I got a continuous bootloop after downgrading, however it was easily fixed by pushing the clock work mod recovery and installing an AOSP rom (cm9 for me). On the other hand, while downgrading my gf's phone i did not experience any bootloops. Not sure whats causing them at this time but i'll be looking into it.

Also, if you want to stay on a sense rom you can go into the factory recovery menu and wipe user data/cache (essentially a factory reset, but will not lose s-off or root) and the bootloops should cease until you turn off the phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Bradh024:
cool, i'm gonna give this a shot. I have 2 inc 2's to send back. so if i screw one up, oh well.

Everything worked good. I'm on the sense4a rom, and trying to figure out how to put it into a bootloop. Could you please tell me the trick? I gotta figure it out before I give this to my wife, so it doesnt start ****ing up on her. So far so good though, I've rebooted and everything seems fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
so if i understand you correctly your running the sense4a rom and experiencing no bootloops, but you want it to bootloop?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Bradh024:
HAHA, Yes and no. I just want to make sure I know what causes the bootloop, and be sure that it wont when I hand the phone over to my wife.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dets34:
lol okay. well mainly the boot loops are just caused from the downgrading itself. Maybe try pulling the battery and restarting the phone, boot into recovery, bootloader, ect. Not sure what actually triggers the bootloops besides the sense roms themselves but thats really cool that the sens4a rom doesnt seem to be causing them ill have to look into that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fsiddique:
My guess is the RIL code written by the devs here for the Sense 4 ROMs aren't plagued by the boot loop issues.
