This being an "exe", I assume it's a WIn prog... Is there a Linux binary? Windows is such a pane! ;)

I just want root, nothing else

I I just want root and SU. I have the latest T-mobile S3. I only want to be able to use my Titanuim backup that I paid for.

I don't want to pay 4GPB for that simple operation that I only want to use once.

Is there any instructions to step by step use ADB?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
There are multiple ways to gain root on this phone. When u say you have the latest version, do you mean the T999L?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sandiegoan:
I was frustrated and am now more so

After almost a year I decided to get root access to my phone. In the past I have found some step by step on using ADB and adding my own SU and BUSYBOx. All I could find was this program and I downloaded it. I have the latest update to 4.1.2 on my phone and the only way I could get the updated version was to spend 4 British Pounds. (6$ US). That seemed a lot of money for using the thing one time.

I have had some problems and I wanted the opportunity to use my Titanium backup, which simply needs root and SU. So, I searched and could only find this program. I broke down and paid the price. I wanted to get this over with. Then it took me over an hour to figure out the directions to upgrade and then update the program. Once I did that, I found it relatively easy to use the program.

Now I have a program that I don't see having to use again. If I do decide to upgrade the ROM, I will install ROM Manager, which I paid for and used over and over again. I paid for Titanium and got a lot of use out of it for less than this program.

So, it is 2:30 AM and I finally finished my installation and then I reset the phone. SO, almost 6 hours after I decided to start this, I am going to bed. I will soon have to start reinstalling my apps and data. With Titanium I will no longer have that problem.

I don't mean to complain but I am tired and need some sleep. I just don't like the price to get one little update to a free program. And after I paid for it and downloaded the update through the program, it took over 15 minutes on my fast connection. It only took two or three to get the first time.

As far as what the latest version of the phone is, I have no idea. I don't know what the L is. I have a SGH-T999. That's all I know.

Thanks for letting me vent. Thanks for at least having a program that did what I was going to do by hand. Please reconsider changing the price. I would have "donated" a couple of dollars. I was required to "DONATE" a minimum of $6. That is a price not a donation.

Good night. I expect to be in better spirits when I wake up.:mad:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Well, at least you are rooted now! Congrats.

This isnt my program or thread, so I hate specifically offering alternatives here. But there are alternatives. Though I will say that it seems like a lot of people have got a lot of use out of this, and he has developed it across quite a few devices, so I wouldn't feel like the money is wasted. Anytime a dev gets support by donation or selling his work, I am all for it, considering the work that goes in.

I hope that you are indeed in better spirits tomorrow! Itll be a new day, and you're rooted!!! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Thanks to DocHoliday77's help, I was able to gain Root on my T999L using the Toolkit. I used the T999 4.1.1 option to install TWRP and then flash SuperSU.

EDIT: Make sure to choose the option that includes BusyBox. I didn't and had issues with certain apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mxlab:
Does your WiFi Works after this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Not sure if this was directed at me or not (w/T999L), but yes, I have not had issues once doing this and installing Busybox.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sandiegoan:
I am happy (:)

I am in better spirits. BUT the reason I rooted was because I wanted to install Titanium Backup. I wanted to back up because I wanted to not lose everything when I reset. I wanted to reset to get rid of a few problems. BUT those problems keep coming back!

I found that losing default keyboard, and by association, the default launcher. From time to time I lose the ability to stream audio on bluetooth. It all goes away when I reset the phone.

I still think that the price is rather steep. But I really wanted the program and I got it. So, upon reflection, I decided that all is well and that my anger should be aimed at Samsung and Google.

To the originator of this thread and author of the app, It worked great. I simply suggest that the price is a bit too high and it could use some UI work.

OK, I'm getting back to mean mode.

I'm happy. I can back up my apps and files with Titanium, which is the original goal.:laugh:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mxlab:
I had two of the same done with cwm and both of them lost Wi-Fi. I will wait a few more days to try again because this one is brand new and went to T-mobile to have them both replaced, thanks for your awnser.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Here is what I did to gain root on a Stock SGH-T99L using this Unified Toolkit v7.0:

Pic #1: Choose 62 for T-Mobile T999 4.1.1

Pic #2: Choose 1 for Root/Unroot options

Pic #3 : Choose 5 to install custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), SuperUser (ChainsDD's Superuser or Chainfire's SuperSU), BusyBox, and rename the recovery files. I chose TWRP and SuperSU, but this is just preference, either of them in either case should work fine.

Note that I did NOT install a Boot Image

I then Updated TWRP to 2.5.0.0 and updated SuperSU to 1.30. I then later flashed CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 because I didn't like the "Wipe" Screen on the newer TWRP. Everything works fine, TiBackup, Adfree Android, ROM Manager, ES File Explorer.

Hope this helps other T999L users to gain Root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DarkZu:
Your not alone on the wifi... I have had my s3 for a while now and I decided to root for various reasons. I have android version 4.2.1 but the only version of toolkit 7.0(i don't know how to download 7.4.5, and i haven't gotten a chance to pay for it because I don't have my card with me; its in a different country right now).

When I rooted my device the wifi stopped working for me, I don't understand what to do , even reading the FAQ. I didn't understand that the FAQ told me to do. I also tried to installed the 4.1.2 firmware version (founded at sammobile.com) and that wiped away the root for me so i had a fresh start...

___I think this might fix the wifi problem___(I'm not too well versed in this type of black magic, but I'll try to keep up. Forgive me of my noobness. )

I want to try and install a stock rom (i don't think my phone was running a stock rom from when started rooting this device), and I don't know where I would download a Stock rom from.

The other method I would like to try is getting the toolkit 7.4.5, which supports 4.1.2 T999 version. hopefully the correct version is happy with the rom that is on the phone.

PS.

Paying a few dollars is not bad at all... even if it is for a program that is used once. I would gladly pay $6-$10 for a program like this (I wanted to know, is it free lifetime updates? after donation) for a program this big, it must have taken a lot of time writing code for this and gathering all of those different programs into one place. I am a Computer Science major and I appreciated what you do!! THANKS!

Edit: I donated for the pro version :P couldn't resisted (gotten a work around to pay), and with the 4.1.2 version support it fixed my wifi problem :D

Cheers!

Donation = Fee

I felt compelled to reply, as the author seems to be confused on what a "donation" is versus what a "fee" is. As it stands, the only toolkit publicly available is out of date. Attempting to root a 4.1.2 S3 with the 7.0.0 version results in a non-functioning WiFi, and a host of other problems.

A donation is a gift. Donations are given without return consideration. When someone donates, they don't expect anything in return. For instance, users of AdBlock know that the program works with or without a donation, but it's suggested that you donate to keep the project going. However, what you're given for free is a perfectly functional app.

What I'm trying to get at is that if you have to "donate" for something to work, it ceases to be called a donation... it's now called a fee. You're giving money with return consideration - I'm giving you $5, you're giving me a functional program.

That being said, I'm trying to undo the damage using the 7.0.0 toolkit did to my phone, and while not holding you legally responsible, I am trying to figure out why no updated toolkit exists. If creating an update for a simple DOS program is so difficult, why should I trust something like an expensive phone to said toolkit?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] futuremonkey:
Has anyone successfully used this to un-root and triangle away yet? I'm tempted to try it just for tinkering purposes, although I don't really have a NEED to do so right now. I'm just too curious/dumb to leave well enough alone.

How Do I UNROOT and Factory Default - Not Modified

I wanted root. I wanted to be able to use my Titanium Backup. I wanted to backup because I have had many problems where I have to reset several times to get rid of problems.

Rooting only, no mods. I like the stock camera.

I used the toolkit to unroot and I thought I would be able to get back to stock. When I check the "Software Update" I get a message that I cannot because I have a modified device.

I want a stock device so I can claim warranty. Maybe I could get the newer LTE model.

Please tell me that there is a way to get back to where I started.

Problems I have had:

reboot and the default launcher is no longer set to ADW. I have to choose.

reboot and I lose my chosen keyboard. I have to go to keyboard settings to set my default. Sometimes it is my paid version of Swype and sometimes it is my paid version of SwiftKey.

I use several different bluetooth devices and a few different audio programs in addition to Play Music. I occasionally have no audio streaming. The streaming is checked and the players play but no sound comes out of the bluetooth. Phone operates normally.

Sometimes the GPS stops working. I have to not only turn off or restart, but I have to pull the battery to reset.

So, once a month I have had to reset the phone and it is a lot of work.

I have none of these problems on my Galaxy Note 10.1

Please Help

Thanks

I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other professional features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it.

can anybody post the SGH-T999.zip toolkit keeps trying to download it but it always fail :( if anybody was successful in downloading can you share the file thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] X-Nemesis:
I've donated to support this software and received my unlock key, but I'm only able to install v7.0 as GooIM stalls when I click the link for the latest build. So I run the version I have, and choose my option (72) for WIND 4.1.1 but the program keeps crashing telling me, "cannot open file as archive".

What should I do next?

EDIT: Uninstall/Reinstall has fixed the issue, now the problem is downloading the update @ 12K/s on a 45Mb/s Cable connection. Da FUQ?

Need to get stock bootloader back

I tried root to backup because i was having problems. I now have the replacement that came with nothing but phone.

I want my phone sent back to be factory stock and it has the bootloader that was installed with the toolkit (clockworkmod).

How do I get the stock bootloader back?

I have 4 days to send it back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm assuming you mean recovery.

Best way is to odin flash the correct firmware for your model device. Then factory reset. Thats it.

Anyone else having problems *sending* MMS msgs?

I can receive, but not send, MMS messages.

I've created my own APN with T-Mo settings, alternate T-Mo settings, adjusted the Creation Mode, etc. I've spoken with T-Mo to see if there's any issues with my account, SIM card, etc.

I am at a loss.

Anyone have any ideas?

---EDIT---

Gaaaa! I guess this info will help <smh>...

Orig T999 had defective earphone jack (I just wore it out) so I effected a warranty-swapout.

Second phone was BUGGY, but that may have something more to do with using newbie usage of Titanium Backup. But then, the phone would not stay powered-on when I removed the charger. Tried new/additional battery. No joy. Effected warranty-swapout for 3rd phone.Also noticed phone would not connect to WiFi OR cellular networks.

While waiting for 3rd phone, I had to go back to my HTC HD7, so I was given old-style SIM to use. While at the store, I discovered 2nd phone WOULD power on after I extracted and re-inserted (old/original micro) SIM chip.

I limped on the HD7 for about 36 hours, and then tried to get T-Mo to reactivate my 1st phone's SIM. Nope. Had to go get a new one.

Ran on the 2nd T999 for about 3 days until 3rd T999 showed up. While on that 2nd phone, I noticed I could not transmit MMS text messages - this was "out of the blue" in that I had not done any new app installs or anything that I can think would account for that.

When 3rd phone arrived, I successfully sent a test MMS before I flashed/rooted it.

what happened to my WIFI?

Tmo stock, rooted it with this and while I have root I do not have WiFi. Try to turn it on and it will not. I know from reading the thread I am not the only person with this issue. I KNOW YOU AWARE OF THIS YET YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT NOR WARN ANYONE ON THE FRONT PAGE? Is this so people root, loose their wifi and must pay you to get it back? Is this what XDA has come too? I NEED A RESOLUTION ON THIS ASAP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] el_smurfo:
LOL...^ This guy... Why would you do something you know had this risk?. I read the thread and have held off until I saw a resolution. Sadly, you are "what xda has come to"... One click rooters pissed when they don't understand why their device is bricked.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What model phone were you trying to root? I'm pretty dure this is easily solved with the correct information.

Additionally, there are multiple root methods you could use if you are not comfortable with this one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jshin:
Bare Bones stock T-mobile Samsung Galaxy 3. I have already resolved my issue. While I am no expert, I am certainly no noob when it comes to Android. The problem is this d-bag has an outdated version of his tool to download, and shockingly when you root with this you have issues. He does not offer an updated version which would dramatically cut down on these issues unless you pay him. Its a useful tool no doubt however he is a tool for offering an outdated and unreliable version for free. Just make it a pay for tool and delete the outdated pos download on the front page..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Is it a model T999L? If it is its not supported and we know this.

In defense of mskip, he just updated 3weeks ago and posted as much several posts back. (Theres reason behind every guide saying to read the first and last few paged of a thread before using something) He supports toolkits for multiple devices and is well understood that he only updates the full packages when time and need permit.

I suggest you read hid post as he invites you to contact him directly.

Don't forget, that literally everything you do and use from here is at your risk. No one ever guarantees something won't have occasional issues. And I am compelled to point out to you that when you do have problems, name calling and insults will not compell anyone, let alone the dev to help solve your problem. Just a friendly reminder is all.

Good luck!

Not sure if this is the right place but here it goes. I flashed cyanogenmod 4.2.2 last night. So then I decided to go back to touch wiz 4.1.1 . so my question is can I still use this method to go back to stock? I'm worried about the emulated o/ folder on my internal memory being there. I just want to start fresh.

BTW I also flashed the latest boot loader. And I also have an older version of the tool kit. Thanks in advance guys.

Now, don't take this the wrong way, but all you gotta do is go back about 5 or 6 posts maybe. Or search thread with the device model.

In fact, I recommend searching q&a and development with the model. There are a couple of threads which will prove to be very helpful to you! (I have one in q&a and one in dev)

Please take the time to read them. There is information there that you will need to know. And I guarantee almost all of your initial questions have already been answered. Beyond that, feel free to ask!

Good luck!
