[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PIzzimperfect:
In the end I rooted it using the first method replied in this post, worked like a charm. Doesn't seem to have any kind of branded or locked bootloader from what I can tell, and root apps are working as they should.

A further question.. on my old iPhone, if I jailbroke it and update the firmware, it reversed the jailbreak.

I want to update the firmware on my GS3 to the latest, will it undo the root? Will I have to re-install root apps etc?

Or will the device stay rooted once i've upgrade?

Many thanks for your help, you guys/gals are a friendly bunch of clever-cloggs.

[REF] Galaxy S3 Modem / Radio Collection (I9300 & I9300T ONLY) CWM & Odin Flashable

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

All matters regarding root etc, how to reset flash counter and return to stock for warranty can be found in i9300/General/stickies
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PIzzimperfect:
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but whats the significance of this ROM?

Here's my device so far...

Stock ROM (never flashed anything custom) which I rooted using the above method.

I want to update to the latest firmware for the i9300, still stock though as I haven't found a feature in a custom ROM worth messing with it for me.

Then I was just going to re-root (if I needed to).

Does the ROM you posted mean that I won't have to re-root? And it will stay rooted?

And the modem thing... I don't understand.

I'm sorry to be a pain!

Thank you for your help,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
the Rom listed are flashable through recovery, and there are a choice of odexed and deodexed stock Roms. Odex is the standard Rom, and Odex basically helps load apps a bit quicker, but has some drawbacks also. I could spend hours trying to fill you in but reading all the links and information I have supplied you with is the easier option ;)

Unless you want to return the favor and spend the next few days explaining the mysteries of Windows to me, then I may consider some mutual spoon feeding :p:D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PIzzimperfect:
So.. to answer my question, does flashing through recov mean you do not have to re-root the device?

I wonder why the modem update is seperate? You would think they would include such things in the firmware update.

I'm a wizz on windows - fire away! haha.

I do genuinely appreciate your advice and help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
So.. to answer my question, does flashing through recov mean you do not have to re-root the device?

Yes if its not rooted .

Modems are part of firmware but can also be flashed as a separate item .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PIzzimperfect:
JJE - My device is rooted though, which I explained :)

Also, the recov flashable firmware posted above lists this..

"Firmware info:

•Base Firmware: I9300XXBLG9 (4.0.4)

•Region Asia

•Country: Singapore

•Carrier: Unbranded

•Build Date: 30 July 2012

•Modem: DXLG2

•CSC: OLBBLG2

•Change List: 928452"

BLG8 has a version for Europe/UK.. but not BLG9...

Will I have to install the older one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
flash lg8 as I said, ...... lg9 is the Asian version. The modem was a separate ota update to remedy some problems.

I'm on uk Orange/t mobile so all is good ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yldlj:
At op to your original Q... all you have to do is stay on your firmware unless you cant wait for the update to be released in the uk, then you can download the latest firmware either from xda or sammobile.com and flash with odin. Now if you stay on your firmware sometimes it will not update properly through kies because of root. In that case go on sammobile and download the firmware for your phone and flash with odin. You will lose root but you already have cf root on your computer so just root again.

Hi,

I know there is a lot of information on the Internet about Water Damage, but i can't seem to find out what's going with my device.

Here's what happened: i went for a run with my phone stuck to my arm by a rubber band. When i got home i found that the sweat of my arm had damaged the phone: it didn't want to turn on and the water damage stickers are red. I dried the sweat of the back of the phone with a towel (it wasn't much) and i was able to turn it up for an hour or two and it seemed fined, only the battery indicator was crazy (exclamation mark). I wasn't able to charge my battery as well. The indicator led is crazy as well (when i try to charge my battery it blinks orange, green and so on).

The phone itself seems fine is the battery that cannot charge and seems damaged causing the phone to turn off frequently. What do you think? Should a buy a new battery or a new phone?

(sorry for my bad english)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaderSKN:
1: don't run with the phone. Two: try with another battery, the battery seems broken.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaisonville:
If phone is still damp put it in a bowl of dry rice, it will remove any excess moisture.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
That phone is not designed to be used that way, you should use an external casing that's not connected to your skin and as such less likely to be sweat damaged. (i.e.: belt clip of sort).

The suggestion to place into a jar of rice for a day or two is typically a good way to draw out any moisture, the main thing you DO NOT want to do is attempt to power it on or charge while humidity still exists inside the device.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inextremis28:
I bought a new battery and the phone works just fine, only the old battery was damaged. Thanks for the help.

This is more of a question about sweat

I didn't want to make another thread about sweat damage, so i figured I might as well ask here. I have a problem where it seem that my touch screen collects moisture inside my pants pocket. One time at the mall i stood watching a football game for like an hour, when i took out my phone the screen was completely soaked like i gave it a good spray with a spray bottle. I think the problem is that the phone is warm so it causes me to sweat more? Funny thing is I feel warm but it doesn't seem like i was sweating, yet screen still collect alot of moisture.

The phone is working fine, no sign of any water related damage and that incident been about 2 weeks ago. My real question is, anyone got any recommendation as to how to carry my phone to prevent any further water exposure?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WolfmanRobby:
There is a much easier way.

If you are rooted, just get the "Beats Audio Installer" from the Play Store (It's free). Run it, let it install, then reboot the phone.

I did it yesterday and it worked great! Makes my $20 Sony ear buds sound better than any I've ever heard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] motioncoding:
com.motioncoding.beats ist actually the App from the Play Store. The only difference is that we keep it updated in the Play Store and this static link won't be updated I guess.

edit!!!! I just realized what I was missing, and I didn't fully read the first thread. So I'm going to try that, and then see if I need to delete the original post I made, seen below in italics.

I've tried this twice, reloaded my GSIII rom R4 from scratch twice. If the screen goes blank, the audio sucks and goes back to normal sound. If I turn the volume up, the sound returns to normal. Then when the sound level bar goes off the screen, the sound quality goes back to normal. When I adjust the volume setting, the super sound returns. Then when the sound level bar goes away, the super sound quality goes back to ****.

What am I Missing?

Model: SGH-I727

ANDROID: 4.0.4

BASEBAND: I727UCLF5 (I'M GONNA CHANGE THAT TO 6 IN A FEW MINUTES.)

KERNEL: 3.0.8-1.5-CYMBALINE mohan_kr

Hi everyone, today I've obtained XXBLFB by OTA on my samsung Galaxy s3 and before I was in lf2 with CF root (last version) .

Since I've updated I don't have superuser rights anymore on some applications, and finally I want to unroot my device, but SuperUser app is still on my phone, and the phone status is : Custom .

I was okay to flash stock kernel but I don't have it, there's only roms , if I re-flash the rom will the root delete himself ?

Because I just get the rom by ota and it's still here .

Please help :laugh:

You have to root your phone again with the latest CF Root and install TrianleAway 1.51 and reset the flash counter and reset the status. After reboot go in the SU app and delete root and reboot.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
if you are unrooting for waranty purpose, just unrooting and unistalling root apps are not enough, you have to flash the stock firmware through ODIN, after reseting counter with Triangle Away. Samsung service center can make out by simply booting your phone, since T-Away can not reset the status of your phone showing "modified" in the status of the phone in about phone menu,

so just follow the steps for these mentioned by Chainfire in his CF-root thread
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
ZACQ8 is right, just hope your up to flashing with Odin.

Here is a tutorial how i did it:

If you want to use Odin first download a stock firmware from www.sammobile/firmware, pick the rom of your country and download it.

Extract it once from .rar to md5 file.

Readup a bit, it isn`t hard but there are a few things you must know:

1. Enable usb debugging on your phone

2. Go into downloadmode (volume down + power + menu all at the same time)

3. See if IDCOM light up yellow and in the left bottom window it says added when you connect your phone to the pc.

4. Unzip the downloaded file ONCE into a .tar or md5 file if you haven`t

5. Place that file in the PDA section.

6. Do not tick anything, only f.reset.time and autoreboot should be ticked.

7. Start

8. Rebooting automaticly.

Close Kies, also everthing Kies related in task manager before flashing!

I don't really understand, (i'm french) will I be able to totally delete root on my s3 or not ?

Chainfire website won't work

Before with my galaxy s2, event it was root in every firmware, I've reflash a stock firmware and warranty worked, impossible for S3 ?

and, btw I don't have any triangle or other thing, I just have flash counter

edit : finally i'll do that :

"- Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counters, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts

- Boot into recovery and perform a wipe, and pull the battery immediately after rebooting starts

- Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware for your region

- Flash that stock firmware on your device

- Let Android boot, go through device setup (without doing any logins) until Android is fully usable again

- Reboot

- Wait at least 10 minutes

- Check Settings->About device->Status and make sure Device status is not "Modified"

- Perform another factory reset

- Boot into download mode and make sure the flash counter and system status are all set to official"

Thanks :D
