There are a few more posted in the Original Post (rooted ROMs and such).

The phone is still only a few weeks old and we are trying to find information everyday. Hopefully we can come across a few....but realistically, the only thing you need for your phone is root access....other "custom" ROMs are for overclocking and such....with this phone, I do not see the need for any of that.

What do you mean buy stock Android?

I am running the stock Firmware that came my phone.....

Yes, don't get me wrong, this phone is the fastest handset that I have ever used, but custom ROMs can bring a lot of new features to your phone. For example, with the right kernel, you can unlock the phone by swiping your finger across the capacitive buttons instead of using your power button (swipe2wake). By stock Android, I am referring to the vanilla, unaltered version of Android (AOSP), which can be found on the galaxy nexus. If you are not sure, you can go to YouTube and look for any reviews of the Galaxy Nexus, you will know what unaltered version of Android looks like. On top of Android, manufacturers like Samsung create their own UI to differentiate themselves from others. With Samsung, this UI is called Touchwiz. For people with a preference for stock Android, they would go for ROMs like AOKP or CM9 on their international galaxy s3( stock Android is less graphic-intensive, thus even faster).
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Ahhhh gotcha....

Yah, those ROMs do not work with the Korean SGS.

We only get access to what Korean devs decide to come up with on our side.....it is the only downfall with the Korean versions of the phones.

Not as many custom ROMs and the language support is difficult as well.

As for some of those features, I have been using Tasker to do a lot of it. But I understand what you are getting at.

It is hard for us, being in Korea and not being developers. We have to rely on others......Since our phones are only available in Korea, it makes it that more difficult for us.

Side note----those rooting roms that need the passwords. What program you use to combine them?

Here's a screenshot for KT LTE rooted !

All went well & easy. Simple guide below. Please note this is only for ROOTING using a ROOTED ROM on KT Olleh LTE

1. Download Odin 3 + Samsung USB drivers & install (you can search for them online & here in XDA easily)

2. Put your phone into download mode (Vol. Up + Home button + Power) some korean characters will pop up (press Vol. Up)

3. Launch Odin & plug your phone in via USB connection (MAKE SURE your USB cable connection is good & DO NOT TOUCH it during the process) you can see that your phone connected via COM 4: or 5, etc

4. Click on PDA (DO NOT click anything else & MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION is NOT ticked under options) then navigate to your folder where you've saved your .tar file which looks something like this (KIES_E210KKKALG3_E210KKTTALG3_808555_REV00_user_low_ship.tar)

5. Then hit Start button & watch the progress. Takes about 3 & 1/2 mins

6. Phone reboots automatically & congrats :) you're ROOTED

7. To check, goto Play Store search for SuperSU & open it then you can see that it's installed with v0.94

NOTE: phone banking WILL NOT work after you've rooted

Sent from my SHV-E210K
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Thanks very much!

I will add that to the original post....

Awesome

Also, those instructions will work for any of the Rooted ROMs ................So long as you choose the correct ROM (.tar) for your model of phone.

The steps are the same, you just need to download and use the CORRECT file to load into the PDA spot.

****THIS IS IMPORTANT****

You can ONLY flash a new ROM that is made for YOUR PHONE.

Check the MODEL NUMBER and make sure they are the same....If you flash the wrong ROM, you WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!

If you are not sure, post a question and ask. There are memebers on all times of the day.

Be patient and someone will answer you.
[Galaxy S III General] huy_lonewolf:
I might not have said this before, but I really appreciate the effort to bring more stuff to this particular handset (Korean SGS3), I am also fully aware of the current situation where there is a limited number of ROMs, but I was a bit too naive to assume it wouldn't be so different from the international SGS3. Probably we will have to wait for more exciting development. Nevertheless, you guys have been very kind and helpful, please keep up the good work. You guys are those that make xda forum a worthwhile forum.:D
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
If you need to use the Phone Banking apps, you should be able to just uncheck the superuser ability in the superuser app and then run the Banking App.

After you are done, just go back into the superuser app and enable it again.

Proper .tar file for E210K

Hey everyone,

So I went to the site on the OP for the KT GSIII, downloaded the 66 files and used 7zip to compress them into a .tar file, but when I use odin to flash it starts but never goes anywhere. I'm not sure if what I'm doing with the 66 files is right because I don't have to enter a password anywhere like it says on the guys site (http://bvlgarian.tistory.com/506), and my .tar file also just comes out as "new folder," not any name normally resembling a .tar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] pilottyung:
i just rooted mine. read on page 13. i hope the instructions are clear enough. post up questions if you have any :good: DO NOT do anything till you;re sure or else you;ll brick your sgs3
[Galaxy S III General] davidsmash098:
Yea my problem is that I downloaded the 66 files but the .tar file does not work when flashing. Do I just put the files in a folder and compress with 7zip? As in right click, archive, compress as .tar file? The instructions on page 13 do not make that process clear.

I did what I said above and the .tar file comes out as newfolder.tar and when flashing, starts but doesn't complete. I'm able to reboot my phone without any issues so I know it's just not flashing.

Update: A better question would be which .tar file did you use and where did you download it?
[Galaxy S III General] p33k:
What are u using to uncompress the 7zip files? The file should have a different name inside then what u said.

I use powerarchiver. Right click on the last file in archive and say to uncompress in same directory. It asks for password. Now I have new tar file (don't know exact name in bed) to load in Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] davidsmash098:
Awesome that did it. I was using 7zip to decompress but it wasn't doing it properly I guess. Powerarchiver worked perfectly. Thanks a lot for the quick response and your help!
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Are there any differences in those Rooting ROMs from the "bvlgarian" website?

I still have stock on my phone, and it is just rooted.

You guys notice anything different at all?
[Galaxy S III General] sorg:
hmm.. yesterday i've downloaded JB rom for SKT from that site without logging. And it was actual ROM, not torrent link. The speed was so great!

I've registered on that site today in hope to download KT ROM at the same speed, but alas.. i've downloaded only torrent file... Put it into uTorrent and got 1kb/s speed only :((( Looked at this **** about 15mins and stopped..

Ok, downloading from sammobile(hotfile).. Speed is not so good, but at least 300kb/s.. Which is better than 1kb/s.

I'm not sure if it's the JellyBean update because they didn't include the Android version.

Just wanted to clarify.

yeah that's the JB firmware.

on a side note, for those of you that upgraded, are you getting that ugly SKT on the top left in the notification area? anybody know how to get rid of it??

That's what I did and now my phone keeps vibrating every few seconds and all I get is a black screen after swiping to unlock. Going back to ics and trying again

Before putting phone in Odin download mode, I went into recovery and performed the factory reset & cache clear. No problems so far with the ROM.

Has anyone rooted there SHV-E210K after updating to Jelly Bean via Kies???

Will the old ICS rooting method still work???

Also the can we use the latest CWM recovery for I9300 model?

Thank you
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Ive got the E210S, and just flashed the pre-rooted JB ROM.

You should be able to root after, if you update through Kies, but you will have to wait for a bit.

I am guessing that Tegrak will update his Kernels soon and others will too. But, honestly, using Odin and flashing the pre-rooted ROM is so easy!

We should be able to use the Touch CWM that p33k has posted in his M440S thread.

I am about to do that next.
[Galaxy S III General] davidsmash098:
Did you use the pre rooted rom from the two part hot files link? Or is there another one I'm not seeing?
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
I used the one that was posted on Matcl.

p33k posted all the links and they are also posted under the phone specific firmwares that are on the OP.

Side note, anyone that has updated to JB, find that you cannot connect your phone to Odin in download mode?

Connects to computer fine when phone is running, but when in download mode, computer doesnt detect the phone being connected to the usb.
[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
Probably silly question on my part... but have you tried other usb ports or even another computer? Works here.
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
yup, just strange.

Detects it no problem when the phone is running, but as soon as I unplug, reboot into download mode and the reconnect the usb, just doesn't detect it......no sounds or anything from the computer signifying that a device has been plugged in.
[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
I recall having read somewhere about people having similar problems when not using the original Samsung usb cord and after switching back to the original cord would solve it.
[Galaxy S III General] cynosure4sure:
I don't know if its related or technical but this happened to me with my Galaxy Nexus on 4.1.1........ I plugged in the phone in another port and another cable and let the pc detect the device and then went to download mode...it worked......but don't know was it the change in cable or usb port that solved the matter.
[Galaxy S III General] PhuocTri:

Well that seems to have solved that problem!

Thank you so much....not trying to see if I can get the touch CWM flashed.

Seems to be stuck on .PIT mapping right now.

Annnnd, it failed.

And keeps failing....maybe cant use the Touch CWM with JB......

Finally updated to pre rooted jb on my 210k. Wiped and cleared cache installed via odin. Running well so far except forgotten to backup pics from phone memory and redownloading all my apps.

Many thx to everyone who ppsted links. I downloaded via mediafire link single file no issues at all except after extracting the file qith a .md5. Just rename file by deleting.md5 and flash away.

No issues connecting to odin or entering download mode.

For those on kt, did you guys activate HD voice?
[Galaxy S III General] davidsmash098:
I flashed the one from matcl and my banking app says it can't open bc my phone is rooted, but none of my other rooted apps work. Any ideas why?
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Banking apps in Korea can't be accessed while rooted.

All you have to do when you want to use the Banking apps (I use Hanna myself) is the disable the root.

Go into the the Super User app and into the settings, then uncheck the root.

When you are done banking, go back in and apply the root.
[Galaxy S III General] cynosure4sure:
I updated my SHV-210K to JB last night

I noticed that character limit for SMS has changed from 80 to 140.....

Is this the same case for S and L models???

any idea why it changed??? has korean telecom authorities in general or KT in specific have changed the character limit??

Thank you
[Galaxy S III General] davidcsv:
Note that the .md5 version of the rom image file includes a checksum to validate the file's consistency. Odin will perform this check before flashing the device, so if somehow the file was corrupted during transfer you would know.

If you rename the file back to .tar, Odin will not verify its consistency.
[Galaxy S III General] davidsmash098:
My problem is that I don't think I'm rooted. None of my rooted apps (titanium, etc.) work, they say i'm not rooted, but my banking app won't open because it says that I am.

I flashed the one from matcl unless I'm missing a step somewhere.

How to activate HD voice?
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
Re-download the ROM from here - http://matcl.com/b/torrent/127093 (maybe you got the wrong one?)

Back up your phone (if you havent already).

Restart your phone in Recovery Mode.

Factory Reset

Clear Cache

Clear Davlik Cache (maybe in your advanced settings if using CWM).

Restart phone into Download mode. (use the volume up key to get past the Korean information)

Open Odin on your computer.

Connect your USB to your phone and be sure Odin detects the phone.

Load the ROM that you downloaded into the PDA sport in Odin.

Hit start and then wait.

Phone should reboot and ask you the language and login information.

Dont need to do all of that yet, just skip it all.

Once phone is ready to go you can check for the SuperUser app (a Superman Android character).

Finally, Factory Reset your phone again and clear all the cache.

You problem could have been that you didnt Factory Reset the first time, it can cause problems, especially since it is a new firmware and not an upgraded firmware.
[Galaxy S III General] davidsmash098:
Thanks a lot for the help. Yea I didn't factory reset before. As far as back up, I can just back up with titanium and when I restore all my contacts and everything will also be back?
[Galaxy S III General] M@31:
When you are doing the backup with Titanium, just make sure you back up the system stuff too.

I usually back up all apps and system info.

Then go through the system stuff that I do not want.

Obviously you want to keep the ones that say MMS, or Contacts....(contacts should be synced with Google though).

For the most part, you want to keep all of the system info that is written in GREEN. And, sometimes Yellow.

A lot of the system stuff that is written in RED, you don;t need and is part of the actual ROM.

I have all of my call logs, mms, and app data that restored with my Titanium Backup backup.

Once a custom ROM comes out, you will be able to change it.

Just installed a MIUI lockscreen/Theme app though. Pretty sweet.

But, yes, SKT is still there in the top left.

Hello there people, i previously used sambauer's method (found on page 1 of this thread) to root my SHV-E210s. Will the same method work for JB?

Thanks.

Hi guys. thank you for this wonderful post.

I followed the instructions as under and achieved root. I dont know the Korean language but got a Korean model S3 3g. model SHW-M440S.

I first downloaded the files from M@31 link above :

Rooting Korean SGS III (3G and LTE) - zip files and instructions (in Korean)

files downloaded were:

odin3_v3.04.zip

cfroot_recovery.tar

CWM_SuperUser_0.92.zip

First installed Odin on my PC.

Then shut off the phone and loaded it in download mode by Pressing volume down, Power and home (main key) at the same time.

I was faced with some Korean language text. i Pressed the VOLUME UP button and the phone entered download mode.

I loaded the file Cfroot_recovery.tar in the PDA section of ODIN and hit start.

The installation was successful and phone rebooted.

Once phone rebooted, i copied the CWM_Superuser_0.92.zip to the SD card of the phone.

I then shut off the phone

Restarted it by hitting the Volume UP , Power and Home key simultaneously.

Within the menu i selected 'install from SD card' and then pointed to the CWM_Superuser_0.92.zip file.

The file was installed. I rebooted.

Then downloaded superuser and titanium backup from the market.

loaded up titanium backup and it was given superuser access!

Software Update with rooted JB ROM

does anyone knows how to keep root and make Software Update available?

or provide any rooted E210S ROM with stock recovery and make the status normal?

or provide a method to root E210S without changing anything in the phone?

Voodoo OTA RootKeeper is an app can restore the root after your device get OTA, I thought there is a way to keep root and OTA at the same time

I'd rather get a small OTA update than flash the whole ROM again, that's why I so much desired to get a rooted ROM and also can get OTA in time.
