Instructions:

Root Method Starts Here.

** Get Odin like mentioned Above

** Make Sure you have all Samsung Drivers installed.

** Reboot your phone into download mode

* Hold down Volume Down, Home and then power until Warning!! message is displayed

* Press Volume Up to continue.

** Your phone should now be in download mode and displaying a green Android and say Downloading. If it is not, power off your phone by holding down the power button and then try to get into Download mode again. Do NOT progress until you have done so.

** Go into the folder you extracted Odin3 into and run Odin3 v3.04.exe

** Connect your phone to your computer via USB

** In Odin, the COM box all the way to the left should turn blue and it should say Added!! in the Message area.

** Click on PDA and in the Open window that pops up navigate to and open the Tar With CWM from below file you downloaded earlier

** Verify that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked

** Click Start. Once the process is completed you device should automatically reboot and there will be a green PASS! box in the upper left of the window. You can then close Odin.

** Power off your device and boot into Recovery mode

* To boot into Recovery mode: Hold down Volume Up, Home and then the Power button until you are in Recovery (it should say CWM-based Recovery at the top of the screen)

**. Install CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip that you copied onto your internal memory

* Navigating ClockWorkMod Recovery: Use the Volume Up and Down arrow keys to change the highlighted option and the home key to select an option. The Back softkey works, but will not be lit and will take you back one screen.

Installing a zip:

* Select "Install zip from sdcard" (Yes, I know it's on the internal storage.)

* Select "Choose zip from sdcard"

* Select the zip you want to install; in this case CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7.zip

* Select "Yes" to begin installing

**. Once the process has completed use the Back arrow to get back to the main recovery screen (remember, it works, but it's not lit) and select "reboot system now." Once your device boots up you should now be 'Rooted,' but there's still a few more things to be done

15. Install BusyBox. There are actually several ways to do this, but the BusyBox app in the Google Play Market is quick and easy. Install it, grant it SuperUser permissions and it'll walk you through the rest and advise you when to update.

16. Update your Binaries.

* Open the Superuser app

* Get into settings (the wrench icon in the upper right of the screen)

* Select Su binary under the General section towards the bottom of the list

* Select Update

**.Your device is now rooted and all set.

That is all there is to root, as link above stated.... no need to flash 'fixboot.tar'

This method trips the counter, does it not?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

read here for no trip. This is based on the AT&T model, Since I am using bell I did not bother, and followed the other method. I couldn't care if I tripped the counter... never have sent a phone in for warranty myself.

Since mine is i747M, I chose not to use the AT&T img just for my own reasons.

I just flashed cwm via odin, and SU via cwm
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dbzgod:
It should work fine but ofcorse nothing is perfect.

Once Bell's firmware is availiable on samsungs servers I plan on injecting a copy with SuperSU root and will make it availiable to others in an odin flashable file that wont trip the counter for those that dont know how to do it themselfs.

Also the non trip method of recovery is pretty stright forward as ive done simular things like this too on bootloaders on my SGS2 I will test and report my findings and give instructions for others once I can get my hands on Bells firmware.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seaskimmer:
Has anybody confirmed that the AT&T no-trip root works on a Bell S3? My friend said it should since the model numbers are the same so same hardware.

Also dbzgod, is there any eta on when the stock Bell firmware is available?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dbzgod:
I havnt try'd myself but others have and said flashing the AT&T one works since the hardware is the exact same.

I have no clue. Bell has yet to post the firmware on Samsung kies server still waiting :/

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seaskimmer:
Alright thanks! I think I will give the AT&T version a try. I am a noob with Android after just making the switch to Android from iOS.

With the root, I will be able to uninstall any AT&T pre-included software right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] softkey:
I can confirm it works, but it trip the counter, rooted, SU too, oh, well, it won't be to long until a fix for the counter is out.

hey guys,

I am fairly new to all of this so I am just wondering - what do we have to wait for before a bell specific root can be done?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frelnik:
Just to clarify, the no-trip-counter method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and it worked, but still tripped the counter?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 00DSoul00:
Hello I am new to XDA developers and want someone to help me with some things

What is the best ROM for x10 mini pro with stock kernel (I can not unlock bootaloader to check that I get with s1tool NOT RECONOZIGNED CERTIFICATE)

What is the best music player, you have the option to find and play by folder and that does not take many resources

Someone recommended me the best application for instant messaging, where you can chat services like MSN, Facebook, Gtalk, etc ... but that can send and receive files

If there is no ROM and stable good enough, someone can help me, that applications are in order in the system of stock I can safely delete

As I can change the system bootanimation

Stock, I put one of the new Xperia where only the word XPERIA

I hope I can help, thank you very much! :laugh:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TemplexZ:
Best ROM

I think the best ROM for x10 mini/mini pro are miniCm7!:good:

It's very stable, it's still in development

And the best application for instant messaging i think are Kik.

But i dont know if you can send files??

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hit that thanks button!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 00DSoul00:
If the best ROM for x10 mini pro are MiniCM7 or MIniCM9, the trouble is I can not unlock the bootloader so I can only porbar ROMs stcok kernel, the application proves Thank you very much for answering
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
MiniCM7Pro by paul-xxx is the best ROM on stock kernel, check it out in the MiniPro Development section of this forum.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] grazor88:
i think miniCM7 is the best and more stable!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Useless advice if he states time and time again he can't unlock the bootloader, MiniCM7 only runs on nAa kernel.

You could also try ArcMini Nxt, (the non ICS version), that will run on stock too
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
Kik is definitely best! I use it all day every day and it's great :D as for file sending you can install an addon from the + on a chat screen then more and apps that kik, there's an addon in there :)

X10man
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
I'd agree with that. I had that for a while and it worked really nicely.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 00DSoul00:
Thank you very much for all your answers, but the truth is I've tried several ROM's

MiniCm7 pro V21 (This is very good, and something stable, but the battery consumption is excessive and also the problem that the keyboard lights are lit when the display is lit) (I tried 2 fix it is installed through CWM and fix apk)

ArchMini (This is very good so it stable, but has the problem of the lights, I tried several fix and none works)

XperianBlaze (Very good ROM and also has a new version is very good but if it has a problem with the lights on the keyboard)

SonyStyle (Very good and very stable ROm, but as has the problem of lights)

I tried these ROM's and many more that I found on the net, but all have the keyboard problem, the wifi is turned off by the minute (This I could not fix) Besides all ROMs to install and move applications to the SD become slow (Which does not happen in the official version 2.1) All ROM's are slowed to install themes (I tested issues ICS)

I've seen all ROMs work better with custom kernels, apparently touched me stay with the official version, Thank You!

I approve the application Kik, the trouble is that few know of my contacts from this universal application jejejeje :) Thanks, I was looking for an application to chat with all the contacts in social networks, Facebook, MSN, Gtalk, etc, if someone know a good application, I would love to leave me the name of the application, Thank you!

Sorry but my English is not very fluid

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sw07tc:
Hello,

I did a little search, I didn't see a thread about this, maybe there is that it didn't show up when I search under my keywords.

Anyways I've been using my 3GS/iPhone 4 to do Cisco IPSEC VPN and Remote Desktop app on my phone to remote into my work PC, if Cisco IPSEC is not available our company is start using Entrust Digital ID with BIG-IP Edge Client aka F5 VPN to replace token for VPN. So I'll be new to Android world, and thinking I should upgrade to a GS3 cuz the screen size and resolution will be perfect for remote desktop. But I'm concern about VPN if it's not available I'm still stuck with the small 3.5" iPhone.

Thanks...:confused:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Soupskin:
I know ICS has more robust VPN support and there is a Cisco AnyConnect client out now as well.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] georgieff:
But still doesn't want to connect to Cisco IPSEC NAC with PSK.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] clamder:
This is how I connect using Cisco IPSEC:

- root the phone

- download tun.ko installer from market

- download vpnc widget from market

- run tun.ko installer and download a tun.ko (it'll error, but i think it works anyway)

- configure vpnc with your profile settings

- run check pre-reqs

- connect using the widget

works for me!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sw07tc:
excellent, good to hear that's possible! I'm patiencely waiting for a Marble White SG3 to be available in store to get my hands on it.:good:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] drothenberger:
Are you sure that's necessary? The website for the tun.ko installer app does not list S3 among the supported phones. Also, it appears that tun support (and CIFS support) are built into the kernel, so no module is needed.

Check out https://github.com/sgs3/SGH-I747/blob/master/arch/arm/configs/m2_att_defconfig for the default kernel configuration for AT&T. It includes

CONFIG_TUN=y
CONFIG_CIFS=y

The Sprint and Verizon configurations have the same.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ErylFlynn:
Had some one check tun.ko installer and it showed tun.ko not installed and does not have one to install.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sw07tc:
I got mine working group ipsec but it didn't need the tun.ko installer I think cuz when I try download the module. It say that can't find compatible module with my phone please try again later. So I downloaded vpnc and X2 Client for remote desktop. It works!!! And the vpnc is much faster than the vpn on ios.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Conundrum68:
One annoyance of the this phone is that when I try to set a JPG to be a homescreen wallpaper, the aspect ratio that it allows you to crop to is for exactly one screen. Not a big deal if you use Touchwiz since the background doesn't scroll. But for most other launchers (I use Nova), it looks retarded having black space to the left and right of the central image.

Anyone find a workaround for this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Kalm_Traveler:
Yes, you need to use the stock ICS Gallery app to do it.

I just figured this out as I am using Trebuchet, there's a thread regarding replacing apps with their stock android counterparts here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728308

Note that you don't have to replace the TouchWiz Gallery app, you can have both (I do atm since that thread said replacing it broke the camera preview).

Just open the wallpaper you want in the ICS Gallery app and set as wallpaper within it so you can properly crop it for scrolling.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Conundrum68:
Thanks for the reply.

Sorry if I'm being dense, but when I try to install the Gallery2.apk, it says something about replacing a system app. How did you get it to have dual install?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Kalm_Traveler:
I just copied Gallery2.apk into the system\app folder and installed it - just hit yes. It won't replace the TouchWiz Gallery app. You get that 'replacing system app" thing with anything you install to system/app it seems... got that when I installed Trebuchet as well, and had both it and TouchWiz accessible till I deleted SCLauncher2 or whatever it's called.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Conundrum68:
That's what I did, and it installed the new gallery. But when I hit the ICS gallery icon in the app drawer, it just launches the Samsung gallery...although when I hit set as, crop picture using ICS gallery, it works fine. I still can't just launch the ICS gallery though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
Wallpaper Wizardrii lets you crop the image anyway you want, it's in the Play Store. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Kalm_Traveler:
Go into Application Manager -> All

and scroll down to both Gallery apps. You may need to clear Launch By Default on them both so you can pick which to use again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RockYork:
I tried loading ICS to my Droid Razr using Droid Razr Utility 1.7. It failed with a Status 7 error and now my phone is stuck in 3G only. It wont connect to LTE. Can someone please help me out?????
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adamlee06:
So you're still on .181?

I have written a guide (posted under development forums by user streetmedic) to manually update to the 4.0.4 ICS OTA which should help you out,

The side load 7 error is usually caused by either the need to wipe data/cache or the 1.7 utility did not successfully flash the ICS recovery.

When you boot into recovery, is it a picture of an android laying down, with a red exclamation triangle over it, or a different image? The image described indicates you are definitely using the ICS recovery which the 1.7 utility installs. If it's different, try the utility again.

If that's not the issue, while in recovery do a wipe data/factory reset AND wipe cache. After completing both of these, turn the phone off, reboot back into recovery, and install the update. Any further issues can be resolved in the development thread. This should however, fix your problem and get you on the OTA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RockYork:
That was the guide I used and yes I'm still on .181 with ICS recovery. I'll give a shot again and let you know the results. Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adamlee06:
If it still gives you any issues you can use matts 1.6 utility to fastboot a fresh 181 system, then restart my guide. Best of luck

Worked like a charm!! Thanks!!!!:)

run this one:

and this one:

this command would be interesting too:

cat /proc/cmdline

And if the file exists execute "adb pull /proc/config.gz"(or copy it via rootexplorer) and post it here. It's the kernel-config
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rayman:
Cool - these are btw mostly generic tegra names, while most are probably obvious I've "translated" them below.

APP -> system

CAC -> cache

LNX -> boot.img

MDA -> Unknown

MSC -> Misc (bootloader commands and other misc stuff ;))

PER -> usually a fat partition containing sensor calibration etc. - per device provisioned.

SOS -> recovery.img

UDA -> /data - "user data area"

USP -> Staging

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

There's no standard "dos" partition anywhere, so that won't work.

At least cmdline is actually protected from normal users in newer kernels and same with config.gz I believe. Worth a shot though. (FWIW, usually tegra bootloader fills in kernel cmdline rather than hardcoding it in boot.img )
