Got my phone at 5:30 pm and had it rooted by 6:30 pm. Thanks for this great easy tool Dev. Keep up the great work, cant wait to get CM9 Nightly flashed today!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlbertoM:
A little help and guidance here, if you please...

So. I soft bricked my S3 on the day of the release by using the wrong rooting, and unbricked it using your wonderful method. Eternally grateful.:highfive: Haven't gone further, and I was thinking of using your Tookit to see if I can fix a couple of oddities.

One, I can't do a nandroid backup using ROM Toolbox Pro. It appears to be working, then boots and reboots and I am back.

Two, I can't use ROM Manager either, as the second I tap Manage Backups it then informs me "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."

Which I haven't done, as I already had CWM recovery installed when I rooted the S3. Or at least it calls it CWM Based Recovery v5.5.0.4

Three, I can make a nandroid backup from Recovery, but it names them with 1970 dates, as in 1970-01-20.06.46.06 . I suspect that they would work, but I've been reluctant to experiment.

Can I fix all this, i.e., get it to the point that i can use ROM Toolbox Pro and ROM Manager? Or install a real ClockworkMod recovery, perhaps the touch? Teach me, Obi-wan:confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indianx:
look at the previous threads... mskip helped me already thru it. You need probably unsecure boot image to make proper backup
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Well a mere mortal wrote it ;)

Glad you sorted it out I will look at where I can add that information to.

Mark.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Are you sure you are rooted as Rom Manager Pro needs root to work. Do you see a Superuser or SuperSu app in your apps list?

Im guessing it needs an official CWM Recovery flashed to work properly and since the CWM Recovery for US variants was compiled by Team Epic and not the official Clockworkmod team it probably doesnt recognise it.

The incorrect date format when doing a NAND backup is a known bug with the US Recovery *HERE* but thats all it is, an incorrect date and can easily be renamed to the date you made your backup.

Follow my advise and you should be fine.

changing notifications/toggles?

In the list of features, one item listed is just "Mod your phone" or something like that. What does that include?

Does it include being able to turn off annoying notifications, like the persistent notification telling you you are connected to a wifi network.

Does it include being able to adjust the toggles shown in the notification pulldown?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FlyinHi:
Fixed my own problem. I am running win8 consumer preview. I had to download the drivers from samsungs website and then run the installation package in compatibility mode (With windows xp service pack 3) to install the drivers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BakaNeko59:
Is it safe to assume that if I've rooted using the 67 injection method, as long as I stay away from the rooting options of the toolkit everything else will work fine without tripping the flash counter?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Only use the options that say 'Android, ADB' and not DOWNLOAD
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
As long as you dont flash any custom firmware through Odin then your flash counter wont be affected. Im not sure if the injected roms have insecure kernels included so I cant say whether tasks that require an insecure kernel will work but you can try it and see.

Why didnt you just look at the first post images which shows the Mods Section and what mods it includes?

As for your question no it doesnt turn off notifications.

Mark.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlbertoM:
Yes, I have Superuser (although nothing shows up on the list of apps granted permission) and Quick Boot, Titanium Backup and ClockSync all work.

Sound very logical.

Ah, thank you.

And that I will. On my way now....

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlbertoM:

Well, I had to uninstall Kies, as previously mentioned, as with it installed Odin did not locate the port. Deleted, all was well. Then I installed the plain boot image, which didn't help, then the image with CWM which helped, as when it asked to install Root Manager I did, and all was well. Installed Touch, and it works well. Backups and all are working fine. SuperUser Elite is not showing what it is granting access, but it doesn't matter. All seems to be working and working well. You are a genius!

One more thing....

I see trees of green........ red roses too

I see em bloom..... for me and for you

And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
I wonder if the update pushed today will result in issues for this toolset.

BTW...Skip...good to see you over here. I used to partake in your services on WinMO a long while back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] V@no:
During installation we see the following text:

However the default installation directory provided by the installer itself is

C:\Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit

How ironic ;)

Any plans on updating ATT version to v3?

custom recovery such as cwm will break an ota. If you want the OTA to go through then you will need to flash back your stock recovery which you can do through the ToolKit.

Oops I meant brackets or special characters lol ur the first person to pick up on that in 2 toolkits (same thing in my Nexus toolkit) so well done you spotted my DELIBERATE mistake :p

Im actually working on the S3 Snapdragon Edition update right now and it should be finished today but I need some testers to make sure it works ok before pushing it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Well that was a long while back lol.

What is the build number of the OTA? I dont think it will cause any problems at all as OTA's are usually quite minor.

IMM760.1747UCALG1

From what I"ve read, it cripples search. No-one is sure what else it does. I think a few app updates, one of which is Flipboard..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlbertoM:
Indeed. AFAIK, the intent of this OTA is to cripple search as a premptive strike against the Apple suit, which apparently has legs against the Galaxy Nexus, but hadn't yet reached the S3. You will only be able to search the Internet, not the device from the desktop with the single widget.. The AT&T update includes a radio update. I don't know whether the other items mentioned such as a brightness widget apply to AT&T

I suppose that the Toolkit could eventually add the radio update?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eatonjb:
yea, I would like to get the Radio update? wonder if there will be a CW Zip that I can install to get that.. I want the seach. been useing it forever!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
There's a CWM zip for the whole OTA except the Universal Search removal here. I'm too scared to try and flash a modified version of the OTA with just the radio myself, but would certainly love to hear the results if someone else dares to. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlbertoM:
The consensus seems to be that the old search will readily available. Now for the radio.... Hint hint

Apparently they have extracted parts. I'll try the modem tomorrow.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
The "they" was me, the one that was initially too scared to do it. :) I've since flashed both modems on top of LEM and LG1 and also tried the LEM kernel with LG1 and the LG1 kernel with LEM. I didn't do extensive testing, but everything booted and came up okay.

And I still have my IMEI number, too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amarpatel:
would it be possible to add the feature of backing up the whole phone to the point where the IMEI number would be properly backed up? Apparently it's not in the the EFS folder unlike previous phones. I'm really nervous to do anything more than I have without all that important stuff backed up.

Would it also be possible to automate resetting the flash counter?

Thank you so much for everything, I don't have a huge idea what I'm doing but you certainly made things super easy! (I'm always ultra careful to make sure I select the right file type for my phone!)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TeeRoPrice:

The only thing I've ever used Odin for is to flash the rooted stock UCALEM.

I extracted the modem and kernel from LG1 and made CWM-flashable zip files for them. They are all listed at the bottom of the OP in this thread.

CWM isnt installing on the S3 at all. Kinda dissapointed.

I did it using the toolkit. Odin said it was added

and then I did it from a seperate Odin and same thing.

It still has stock rom and stock recov. Help please?

EDIT: Ran it again through toolkit and it worked... Nevermind. Sorry!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shaneledford:
Has anyone confirmed that this root method works after you have done the OTA software update from a few days ago ?

I'm just worried about this file: boot-insecure-att-i747ucalem-cwm.tar.

If I am no longer on the UCALEM build because of the OTA will it still work ?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
What version is the update? I rely on people telling me of updates so I can add them as I dont have the Snapdragon variant and wont know. The existing image will work fine but if you dont want to try it then just use the CWM root method (option 4).

UPDATE TO GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT [SNAPDRAGON EDITION]

ChangeLog

ToolKit v2.0 (18th July 2012)

+Added CWM Touch + TWRP Recovery images

+Added Canada variants to ToolKit support list

+Updated Superuser files to 3.1.3 from ChainsDD

+Added NEW Auto Update feature on startup (Donators Only Feature)

+Added NEW feature to convert image files to an Odin flash compatible tar file (1-click process)

+ALLINONE rooting option will create tar file from boot and recovery imgs to save download size

+Added Reboot to Download and Start Odin in the Reboot Phone Options screen

+Added Adb reset on startup for stability

+Added cache image dump to backup options

+Added more instructions for installing drivers

+Re-Wrote push routine to make it work better

+Added Developers Section with Cache Ripper from Adam Lange for starters (more to come)

+Re-Wrote ALOT of code in the ToolKit to make it work better

ModsSection v2.0 (18th July 2012)

+Disabled Mods that soft bricked the phone

+Updated some code

Ok some great new features have been added in this version and the Snapdragon Edition gets them first. As well as adding all the Canadian variants to the supported list and various other feature there are 2 new features I want to highlight.

I have added a NEW Auto Update feature which will check your current version against the version number on my server and if there is a newer version you will be offered an imediate update through the ToolKit. Only updated files will be downloaded so updates are much smaller and I can push features or fixes straight away that I would normally save for a full version. This is a donator feature as it is costing me money to enable this so if you havent donated I would recommend it for this feature :)

I have also added a nice feature for people wanting to flash img files. Currently you have to either use a linux emulator or cygwin to convert img files to a tarball for flashing via Odin but now you can do it with 1-Click using option 9 in the ToolKit.

Donators will be sent out information on how to Activate the Donators Version.

To the Japan SC-06D sorry I didnt have time to add support in this version but I will push an update to support your models in the next day through the Auto update feature and will update the full ToolKit in the next week.

As usual download links in the first post.

Enjoy :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
If they are the same build number then the image will definitely work buts its upto you if you want to wait until I can find and add a new image.

Mark.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shaneledford:
They aren't the same build number though. The old one was UCALEM, not UCALG1

I went ahead with Option 4. but I'm running into this problem.

I don't have the option to install zip from SD card when I boot into CWM recovery.

EDIT: Actually I don't think CWM recovery is even being installed. I think I still have the stock recovery. I've installed CWM through Odin twice now and it's not installing.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Figured out my problem with Option 4. When the phone reboots it automatically installs stock recovery. So I had to use Odin without Auto Reboot and then use the file from here. http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/team-epics-root-from-recovery.html

UPDATE TO S3 TOOLKIT [SNAPDRAGON EDITION]

ChangeLog

ToolKit v2.1 (20th July 2012)

+Fixed a possible crash scenario during the Auto Update check

+Added CacheRipper app as I forgot to include it in V2.0

+Fixed a few small bugs in the Tar Create routine

+Tidying up bits of code

This update was mainly to fix a potential crash if the update server is going slow and the update file cannot be download which would result in the ToolKit closing.

Anyone with V2.0 please update to this version (V2.1).

The next minor update will probably be through the Auto Update feature ;)

Enjoy.

sorry for the n00b question, but this toolkit is safe with the Bell Canada S3 correct? I been reading that certain rooting methods have wiped the IMEI number, has this happened to anyone else?

I just want to root and install CWM and use TB to freeze bloat and maybe a kernel.

PS what this flash counter thing in the S3 and should it be used right after root? Then install CWM so it does not change to modified and the counter increasing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cezeff:
every time you flash a custom firmware your counter increases...if your phone every encounters a problem you cant or dont want to fix, you might want to take it to your local cell shop or ship it back to the manufacturer...but if they see the counter increase at all it voids your warranty...then either they wont help you or charge you an arm and a leg...basically resetting your flash counter makes sure you can keep your warranty while enjoying all the benefits of a root device...ive been trying to root my phone using other methods and all that did was increase my flash counter to 5...awaiting for this kit to update for the SC-06D...and then wipe that counter and be good to go...no expert but i hope that helps

Ps: I wonder if this toolkit has been featured on the main page...its really good and the developer obviously has put in a lot of time in putting this together and accepting request for support of devices...ya'll dont forget those donations and "thanks" buttons...

Having a small problem.

Mark,

First off let me say the toolkit kicks arse man. You helped me out with some questions on my EVO4G so I am thrilled you are working on the SGS3.

My problem:

Phone is recognized (serial number present).

Phone: AT&T SGH-I747

Option 6 then 1,2,3.....none of these are working for me. I want to back up some of the Samsung Apps so I don't loose them when I flash CM10 preview. When I try and back up all of my apps, or individual apps, I get this message:

adb: unable to connect for backup

I am in USB debugging mode

Drivers are recognized

I'm able to Nandroid using the Toolkit no problem

I saw....in another forum, someone having a similar issue on a different phone. The recommendation was to update the sdk. What do you think? I want to get this squared away so I can keep / use my samsung apps for use on CM10. Thanks again. Also, anyone can feel free to respond to this.
