Another thing I've found out today with CM9 is that when you're on the phone with a regular call, and Google Talk tries to call you for a voice or video chat, it plays on the main phone speaker. Damn near deafened me this afternoon!

HEY guys

i found a website about SC-06D can flash AOKP(4.1.1) and CM9, but it is japanese

anyone know that

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsteenderen:
Just to be certain about that reflash procedure...

- open odin, connect phone, reboot phone with Vol down +home

- instead of loading SC06D-ICS-KBC-CWM-V6.0.1.2_r1-recovery-odin.tar.md5 load stock_recovery.tar.md5

- reboot and that's it?

or should I use the recovery mode for factory reset and apply an update?

jelly bean

https://github.com/kbc-developers/release/wiki/SC06D Just go there if you want jelly bean.

That other build looks cool though as you can set the amount of different target for your lockscreen. I hope sakuramilk will incorporate that into his rom.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldave:
Ah, thanks for that. Learn something new every day.

Battery life seems to be better with the CM9 ROM. Would be even better if I wasn't using Line messenger and it didn't keep waking up the phone!

So it looks like there are versions of JellyBean and CM10 out. Any reports yet whether they're stable and fully-functional?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SQ3.0dotJP:
I'm running sakuramilks latest cm10. Used his tool to drop the voltages -50 across the board. Phone is running 20°c cooler on average with this ROM. I was on cm9. Oneseg seems to be broken still. My browser video playback has improved over his last cm10 build. So far so good
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilPickle:
Anyone that has loaded CM10, could you take a look at my instructions for loading CM9 and see if they are the same? Will update the instructions and upload CM10 if there is no real difference or issues in loading CM10 over CM9.

Since it appears people have forgotten this post just days ago...

above is the CORRECT METHOD FOR ROOTING the JAPANESE SC-06D Galaxy S3

Inside the link is an easy to follow step-by-step instruction, follow it EXACTLY and everything will work. PAY ATTENTION to the BOLD writing.

(things like, "DON'T FORGET TO UN-CHECK AUTO-REBOOT IN ODIN" can help you have a flawless rooting process.)

edit... I think we need a new thread for "Official root SC-06D" with just the root section of the instructions in the first post and the second post would be "OPTIONAL - custom ROM install like cm9"

If people agree, I'll post it

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I was on the first CM10, and I could use 3g just fine. It just doesn't support LTE yet.

Society Mike linked to the best guide to flashing above this post. Just be sure to flash the stock recovery after you flash cm10. Not only after flashing cm10, but before cm10 loads for the first time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan701:
Could anyone tell me why it need to lash the stock recovery after you flash cm10.?

and as you try the cm10. how was it?

i tried the previous cm10. it was reboot itself randomly and sometimes delay wakeup on lock screen. and call echo

Are the problems still there?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] society mike:
We stated it in the instructions and in this thread, but the phone's hardware somehow relies on the stock recovery to initialize, probably security related.

If you don't flash to stock recovery before booting into Android, sure, the phone will work but features like Oneseg tv, Felica (wallet), and sometimes camera will not work correctly or at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan701:

ewdi,

I'm willing to risk it if you wouldn't mind chopping what I think I understand the procedure to be.

1. boot to download mode, connect via usb to pc

2. launch Odin, flash CWM Recovery (per normal procedure)

3. flash the Boot_rw_su.tar.md5

4. if success (PASS) this will now auto-boot to CWM recovery?

5. if in CWM, flash the setuid_wrapper_signed.zip

6. else, attempt to manually boot to CWM recovery, do #5

7. Normal boot should now have SU app? Now root behavior as expected.

Thanks much

If you can paste it here I can translate it. Just got a Docomo S3 myself, though I am going to wait a bit before rooting (previously had a HTC Desire and ran quite a few roms on it). My working Japanese vocabulary doesn't normally run to rooting, so translations will start rough and get better as I go.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewdi:
Sorry just got back home, saifu doesn't work! WARNING, it doesnt work! But there seems to be a better way of rooting to get it to work on this thread

http://logsoku.com/thread/anago.2ch.net/android/1340719301/

UPDATE: JUST BRICKED MY WIFE'S PHONE WITH 2ND METHOD.

UPDATE2 : Reflashed stocked and redo it again with step 2, it works. Not sure what went wrong the first time.

HERE IS STEP BY STEP:

1. Boot into Download Mode (Vol Down + Home + Power)

2. Make sure you have latest Kies and rebooted your Windows

3. Flash the CMW Recovery for SC-06D http://www.mediafire.com/?lvj9dz37wle2wee

4. Using CMW flash the SU

and you are done (optionally you can flash the stock recovery - link above)

Busybox arent installed by default, so you need to grab it yourself from play.

Root

Im going to try the root later on after work. Off the topic question? Is anyone having terrible signal service like I am? Cell Standby is usualy between 30-40% of battery. I started to use easy battery app to try and control the usage of 3g and wifi. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fujislider:
Success!

ewdi,

root success achieved here too! Thanks to you for extracting the necessary information from logsoku. I modified your procedures a bit.

Preps

a) Make sure you have latest Samsung Kies installed and rebooted Windows

b) Download Odin from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1148059&d=1340384913

c) Download CWM Recovery for SC-06D "cwm_for_sc06d.tar.md5" from http://www.mediafire.com/?lvj9dz37wle2wee

d) Download SU root file "sgs3_rooting_signed.zip" from http://www.mediafire.com/?wrhanhh7g9vwlzi ,

connect Phone as media device and copy to the root of the "phone" mount.

Steps

1. Boot into Download Mode (Vol Down + Home + Power)

2. Using Odin, "PDA" button, Flash the "cwm_for_sc06d.tar.md5". Phone will reboot automatically.

3. Shutdown. Boot into CWM recovery mode (Vol Up + Home + Power)

4. Using CWM, flash the SU root file "sgs3_rooting_signed.zip". Reboot phone from within CWM, and you are done

Note: The stock recovery "stock_recovery.tar.md5" can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/?q3aubc6lri3t2rk

and flashed using Odin in case something doesn't work out right with the CWM

Busybox isn't installed by default, so you need to grab it yourself from play.

Firmware update message soon after rooting

Within a couple hours of rooting, I got a persistent "firmware update required" message. Won't go away - only allows postponing. Anyone know how to turn it off?

Not sure if I'm reading this right, but starting at about post 272, looks like those who took the update lost root, and unable to re-root. One guy seems to have had to reflash with original image, then re-root.

Someone with better Japanese skills please verify.

Meanwhile, I'm Nandoiding, in case I need to re-root.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noeldc:
BEWARE! The update which was released yesterday afternoon kills root, regardless of how you update.

If you want to stay rooted for more than a few hours (unlike me :( ) than hold off from updating (it doesn't do much other than fix some contacts app) until a workaround is found. If you did update, to can just flash back to stock and do it re root it.

I'll wait a day before deciding what to do.

I wanted to re-quote this so it doesn't get buried, and also ask a quick question:

I've been patient in rooting my GS3 and haven't touched it at all yet. This method seems like it's worked out most of the kinks and issues inherent to the Japanese model's differences. However, it makes no mention of preserving APN settings like what happened much earlier in the thread. I'm just assuming that this is because Sakuramilk has included the proper APN settings in his build for the Japanese model Galaxy S3, but I would just like to confirm that before wind up roaming for a month and having a ten man bill in the end.

Also, has anyone suggested to the CM team that maybe make Sakuramilk the device maintainer for the Japanese model?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuoggy:
I used APN Backup and Restore to preserve my settings. You will need the pro version of titanium backup to make it a system app, but once you have that, it will export from stock and import to any rom.

Furthermore, if you are just going for a rooted stock rom, everything will be preserved after rooting.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

What's the best way to make a nandroid backup? Since we have to use the stock restore image, we can't use cwm.

Do we have to reflash that every time we want to make a backup, or is there a different tool that allows us to make full backups?

Will the galaxy s3 toolkit do the job through adb?

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Did you follow the directions EXACTLY as they were written? Did you let android boot up in the middle of the process, or forget to install the stock recovery image?

You may have to reflash stock and start over.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalker6705:
Thanks for the response. I'll remember to take a step between rooting and flashing CM10 to backup the APN settings.

As for the nandroid issue, it seems to me that as long as you don't allow android to boot, you could flash CWM to make the nandroid, then re-flash the stock recovery. To restore you would just do the same process afterwards.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuoggy:
Yeah, I was hoping there was an easier way. Seems like a lot of things could happen if I'm always reflashing for periodic backups.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] society mike:
This is why we said many times that you must follow directions EXACTLY as we wrote them and be sure to never let it boot to android with other than stock recovery. If it ever boots up to Android without flashing stock recovery, it WILL BREAK HARDWARE like Felica which controls Osaifu Keitai, also camera, and Oneseg tv.

The ONLY way to fix it is to reflash the stock ROM and start the entire process over again.

I have done this many times and tried many methods, and have constantly checked the japanese blogs and there is currently no way we have figured out yet that will let you keep cwm recovery flashed and boot to Android without it being overwritten back to stock recovery which then breaks the functions.

Cm9

There is no official cm10 for any SGS3 yet AFAIK, they are all derived from other versions. Sakuramilk’s cm10 has a lot of functions missing in need for daily use so until he has an official build, i'll stay on cm9.

Agree with your comment about the camera 100%. I'm using Camera FX at the moment and, while it's better than the CM9 one it's not as good as the stock Samsung one.

Didn't the Samsung camera have some Touchwiz functionality, which is why it won't port so well?
