Success! Works great so far, decided to just root, waiting to do CWM later on when I want a different ROM. Thanks for everything!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luke1333:
you pc should install them automatically. mine did
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BKinney:
Light flow does not work for me, it always displays green(when there is no notification) but the main problem is that it wont show any other color even when there is a notification( for example text message).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
Hmmm... My md5sum is f0772544da403dfe15b163eed53b6dba. Totally different than what is in the OP. root66, file size 1,600,800 kb. Is OP md5 the zipped or unzipped file?

Ah, the unzipped file matches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gamer113:
After flashing to this ROM i am getting the turn on wifi pop up and in the secure,db i disabled it already any one else experiencing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZachPA:
Not getting my S3 until tomorrow, but y'all are a bunch of great folks. Seeding this until the cows come home. 140/5 line ain't great upload, but 5 Mbps ain't nothin' to shake a stick at either.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
Well, I flashed the root66 image, but now my computer will not recognize my phone, either with or without USB debugging. It recognized it before. So I flashed the drivers in the OP. Still nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
I'm assuming step 4, "do a factory reset," is only needed if you flashed the original rooted.tar. If you're rooting for the first time you can go straight to flashing this new rooted image, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XooLoo:
Same exact here..... Success all the way! Loving it... Have no need for the CWM for now... Wanted TB to restore my apps, etc. Working on that!

Thank you, OP, for taking the lead on this... and thanks to mrRobinson for the tremendous help here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Try the below

1. Do a factory reset

2. Flash full factory stock image from Sammy-updates

3. Do another factory reset

4. Flash the OP image once again

That's correct
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
Well, I'll blame it on malware slowing my cpu down at boot. After many failed "adb devices", and many bubbles popping up about Samsung devices, finally the USB ADB loaded and it read the phone. Whew!:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BungeBash:
I dunno if you want to sticky this, but if the install fails, just keep trying. If one PC or driver doesn't work try another. I was having issues installing with driver on front page, so I loaded the driver I have on my laptop and it worked. After the fails I didn't even reboot the phone :-P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
Well by the solved status i see it worked. I have att so I'm in those threads more just saw this and figured i'd help. I'll remove my link tmr (it was just a temp) but looks like you guys have a good torrent going so should be fine. I have posted in the att thread more how i did this just search for my posts there if you care. but as you guys found out that mkuserimage.sh never gave me a valid ext4 so i did the first part with sim2img and then forced an e2fsck, did the resize2fs, removed lost + found and then repackaged. That's it.

This is completely stock, nothing stripped, just added su and the Superuser.apk.

if you put recovery on i have a debloater aroma utility i maintain here for an easy way to safely strip things off...

don't have a specific vzw section but most things are the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
You'll have to do it again because when you reflashed the system img, it overwrote the previous change and put it back to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lowg:
I checked the other thread and this one and did not see it mentioned, which system image did you use to start with to create this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] catalyst11:
I rooted mine right away too when I got mine last Friday and didn't really play with it beforehand so can't really compare to stock either. I haven't had any issues so I don't know, I don't think I want to start over with this. If I do run into issues though I'll probably end up using this new file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
from the direct download link in this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lowg:
Thanks. Trying to figure out why some are saying the other image is different and has problems, seems both were created from the same source...

Will try them both out when I get my GS3, supposed to arrive tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WBMc36:
Working on flashing this right now. Thank you for remaking this and fixing the issues, even though I don't use the stock keyboard and had no other symptoms I reflashed anyways just to be safe for the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
Can't answer that, don't know what the other guy did. my thought is he stripped too much and it had side effects, that's all. Otherwise i just saw people here trying to create a new root image and failing so figured I'd help out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] catalyst11:
Did it wipe your phone when you flashed over the previous root image?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Amazingbman:
Im having messaging issues. any advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WBMc36:
I didn't flash over, just to be safe I did a factory reset, flashed the stock image, did another factory reset, then flashed the new rooted image. So yes my data was wiped, but I did it, not this file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightxFall:
Those drivers take FOREVER to download... I haven't rooted yet, so I'm going to use this instead of the other file to root.

Been installing for about 2 hrs...may just have to wait til tomorrow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eckzow:
So for those of us still playing along at home for fun...

The magic trick (for me, anyway) was the combination of two things:

abandoning mkuserimage.sh (on invisiblek's suggestion), which gave me a working flashable ext4 image

forcing the e2fsck on the image after the sim2img step (on mrRobinson's suggestion), which seems to have resolved some very strange issues I had getting changes to the loop-mounted filesystem to stick around after umount

Thanks for the help guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juntistik:
Has anyone tried his Aroma debloat utility on VZW yet? Interested to see if it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manatti:
I havent tried Aroma, wonder if its safe to use titanium backup to remove the apps? I know it would take longer but i dont think i want to put cwm on here yet, i like the stock the way it is but would like to remove all this vzw stuff. Thank you all for getting this working. I am not worried about custom roms, just getting my wifi tether working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DebianDog:
The other ROM/build does it too. Not sure if stock does because I did not keep it long enough to find out.

Why would you guys want other people to tell you what they consider bloat? Yes, Just use TiBackup and do it yourself. It takes like 3 mins. Use the Stripped ROM list as a guide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
I've noticed that my 4G sometimes goes away until I reboot my phone. I wonder what's causing that behavior

You can use SQLite editor, go to settings storage, then settings.db, secure,then change the wifi notification from 1 to 0, reboot. I think the line # is 10 if you are using the Sprint version, about line 80 if on Verizon version. However, this change will make the phone status (settings, about device, status, device status) change from normal to modified. Using SQLite to change notification line back to 1 will change phone status to normal again. Another option is to use Anycut(download from market) and make a shortcut in the activities, look for hiddenmenuwifioffload. This works and will not change your status to modified and also you do not have to be rooted to use anycut.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
So this will work perfectly if you factory reset and wipe everything before hand?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrRobinson:
Just fyi, the aroma debloat utility gives you a menu system where you do pick what you want to remove. That's why I made it an aroma installer and not a flash able zip. When flashing a zip you have no choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DebianDog:
I guess I just trust myself freezing bloat with titanium backup over a app someone created

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] raisins:
I froze a bunch of Verizon and Samsung bloat with titanium backup and when I reboot i keep getting a com.android.phone has stopped constantly and I get no service.

Maybe I froze something I shouldn't have, so I defrosted everything again to see if it would fix the problem... But it didnt work.

Going to reflash this, but this time im going to make a backup before I go about freezing apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] M4gicM@:
Well on my Verizon rooted stock image the wifi notification is record #10. I checked with my friend who used the root66 image as well and his is also record #10. Just a little bit interesting that it is not record #80 like many people suggest.

Oh thank jesus, i can not wait to get off ICS, i was actually happy (which is a relative term as android phone hackers are never "happy" with their device) with GB. They really made a balls of how graphics are rendered and so on in 4.0.

:good:

Jelly bean>ics is what gb>froyo

Not hardly any UI changes its all background tweaks and a few new gestures and that kinda stuff hence the 4.1 code just like gingerbread was what 2.3

[Galaxy S II General] hazzamon:
Obligatory reply for people genuinely thinking the same thing: You can't just compile it straight for the SGSII; wait for third-party developers to port it first.

(Perhaps we should all put it in big bold red letters in our signatures? xD )
[Galaxy S II General] jezus101:
Is there a JB from yet?
[Galaxy S II General] beston94:
Request

This is a request to all moderators that have the power to ban people.

"jezus101" This is the name of the user that has continuously disregarded everyone's words about not asking for JB. He writes posts where they do not belong. I saw him post the very same thing (Is jellybean ready? and many more) at least 20 times.

Here comes my request, if you'd be so kind as to BAN "jezus101" for a 3 month period so he can maybe learn that there are some rules that aren't meant to be broken and they wouldn't be called rules if they didn't apply to everyone. I know this seems a bit harsh but it's getting quite annoying and simply ridiculous.

This is just something to think about.

Thank you.

With regards,

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] penn2014:
OK. I have the ATT htc one x. I was attempting to install Cyanogenmod 9. I unlocked the bootloader. Rooted the phone. I loaded twrp. This is where things get fuzzy. For some reason I was not able to load the .zip file of cyanogen. Then when I restarted the device it went into a kind of loop. Twrp was gone and I could and can go into the boot loader but the os is gone and it just shuts down if I attempt to go into recovery or reboot. Also, to make things worse, the phone is no longer being recognized by my computer with adb. Is my phone bricked or is there something I can do to set things right?!?!?!?!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
did you install the twrp with working usb mount?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] penn2014:
No. I installed it using goomanager. I wasn't able to install twrp or CWM using usb mount.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xaey:
Is fastboot usb working in the bootloader (It will say fastboot usb in the bootloader screen while your device is plugged in)? You may have to ruu if both recovery and the os is not loading, but you'll have to relock your oem bootloader first using fastboot if possible. Otherwise I wouldn't know of any other fix without recovery working, unless someone on here knows of another way. This has happened to me once and I had to just ruu and start everything over again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] penn2014:
No fastboot usb is not working is there any way I can restore the ability to access it?

I have nothing left on it anymore so restoring is no problem if I can get access to my device.

[solved]

just downloaded drivers and moved them to htc driver folder in program files for anyone who was wondering.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xaey:
glad to hear. was actually just about to ask whether you had the drivers installed correctly. Hope everything works out from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
after my ICS update i get the message: "No SD Card Inserted" message ??

also my pics are not on the phone. i backed everything up to Kies, but i thought pics were supposed to be there. all my songs and contacts are.

should i just take the SD card out and then put it back in ??

even when i plug it into my PC it only shows the phone...no SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
ahh nvm, i clicked Mount SD Card (not knowing what that means) and now it recognizes it.

noobs>Note :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ph0n3D0rk:
Hahahaha, happy you resolved it. It made me super worried for a second. But would you mind putting solved in the title for future referencing? :) Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
Solved

like that i hope? i'll try to remember thanx :D

only 1 problem remains, i click Gallery and i get a message: "Media Scanner Running" ... but when i click My Files, i can see the pics so i know they are there...i just cant view them :-\

i even restarted the GNote as well (awesome that it can be restarted now instead of just "Turn Off" and then turn on) and after restart, the same "Media Scanner Running" message pops up and nothing happens. any ideas?

**SOLVED** nevermind again! lol now it started working. **SOLVED**

Does MediaScanner run automatically when you mount amd unmount the SD card? For some reason my doesnt.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Guys, this thing has been discussed everywhere since ICS release. Let me make it clear:

Games not always run smoothly on ICS because they may not be optimized. If you want to play, stay on GB. Or buy a PS Vita.

And use the search button. It's not that difficult.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ken17:
that's not solving the problem man...

just install the latest version.. it will solve this problem....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
I'm a stock kind of guy. If I want to change things like launchers or whatever I can do it myself once I get root. Plus I like quickoffice and a lot of ROMs like to remove it. Here's what I did.

You can download the stock firmware from samfirmware.com. Flash using Odin. Do this if you want to return to stock 2.3.5. If you are an AT&T customer, you can get the 2.3.6 OTA at this point. I'm still working on pulling the OTA for non AT&T customers.

If you can't get the OTA because you have a custom recovery flashed, see the bottom of this post for the stock recovery. Unrar it and flash using the PDA mode in Odin.

Once you're on 2.3.6, flash CWM from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1458153

At this point, there is no need whatsoever to find an exploit in the system in order to try to "root" this phone. CWM provides root access using adb.

Boot into CWM by holding the down volume and the power button. At this point your phone already has root. The only things missing are to push the su and busybox binaries and the superuser.apk. Go into mounts and storage and mount /system

Since I'm lazy, I downloaded DooMLoRD's rooting script here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582. Note the script does not work on our phone and we don't need the zerg exploit. All we need are the binaries and a way to push them to our phone. DooMLoRD also handily includes an adb shell

In the same folder as runme.bat, make runme2.bat in notepad and paste in the following:

@echo --- creating temporary directory
@files\adb shell "cd /data/local && mkdir tmp"
@echo --- cleaning
@files\adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp/ && rm *"
@echo --- pushing busybox
@files\adb push files\busybox /data/local/tmp/.
@echo --- correcting permissions
@files\adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox"
@echo --- copying busybox to /system/xbin/
@files\adb shell "dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox"
@echo --- correcting ownership
@files\adb shell "chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox"
@echo --- correcting permissions
@files\adb shell "chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox"
@echo --- installing busybox

@echo --- pushing SU binary
@files\adb push files\su /system/bin/su
@echo --- correcting ownership
@files\adb shell "chown root.shell /system/bin/su"
@echo --- correcting permissions

@echo --- correcting symlinks
@files\adb shell "rm /system/xbin/su"
@files\adb shell "ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"
@echo --- pushing Superuser app
@files\adb push files\Superuser.apk /system/app/.
@echo --- cleaning
@files\adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp/; rm *"
@echo ALL DONE!!!
@pause

One more final note, after you reboot, update the superuser apk from Google Play. Reboot again before trying to update su or it will fail. Update busybox with the stericson app if you want but it's not necessary.

This method will work on stock 2.3.5 as well. To unroot, just open an adb shell and delete busybox, su, and superuser.apk
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ggolcher:
Hi Nardholio,

One quick clarifying question: if I flash back to stock 2.3.5 using Kies, will all my apps and personal data get wiped?

Thanks!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
I've only had this phone for 2 days, but it looks like Kies will only flash a version you already have (that's not an upgrade) if you force it to initialize the phone. So yes. Hopefully someone will pull the stock recovery in a flashable package for us eventually. If you really want to do this and save your data in the meantime, flash a rooted 2.3.5 ROM (or if you installed CWM on top of non-rooted stock 2.3.5 you could use this same script to root it), then back up your data with Titanium to a safe place (external SD) before wiping the phone and getting the OTA.

Note, installing CWM doesn't appear to increase your flash counter so if you're currently on stock 2.3.5 and for some reason can't OTA to 2.3.6 AND you want to save your data and you care about your flash counter, rooting your 2.3.5 to save your apps seems to be the way to go.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
So it's not enough to have the AT&T version of the phone, you actually have to have a valid AT&T SIM as well? About phone shows 2.3.5 and my phone is just telling me I'm up to date.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] inthepit:
worked like a charm! thanks! this was the one thing that annoyed me, having to downgrade to be able to have root. i prefer to have 2.3.6 mainly because of the ability to have video chat on google talk.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] transce080:
Ahhhh, I wish I'd seen this thread before I flashed a custom kernal. Now I'm running ardatdat on the stock rom.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] oldnoob:
I have the same problem. Hoping someone will post a stock or rooted 2.3.6 ROM, or ICS will come out soon.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] inthepit:
is there a way to create a flashable rom from a nandroid backup? or can someone flash another persons nandroid backup? i can go back to untouched stock and do a backup and post it if it could be used...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] oldnoob:
I'm sure there's a way to do it, I just don't know how. :) At this point it might be better to just wait for ICS to drop.
