Thanks so much for the all in one guide! Rooted my phone and flashed CWM while on a flight to Vegas, 2 hours after picking up my phone! Just waiting to get back on 4G (and not the crappy AA internet) so I can download a debloated ROM.

Also wanted to note that my phone had the "update" sticker on it from Verizon, and had no problems getting root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jnehama:
I have successfully rooted and flashed TWRP recovery on my SGS lll (Verizon). I have read about the kexec method of flashing a custom kernel but I am unclear as to the advantage of the one custom kernel available over stock. I know I can flash it but what do I gain in doing so. I am new to kernels as my last phone was a DROID X and we had no custom kernels due to locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Lime v2:
Question, if I wanted to reset the phone but keep root, would it be safe to reset the phone to factory settings the normal way? Having some minor issues with my data turning off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cvballa3g0:
Some that we currently have is an overclocked kernel to 1.89 Ghz. Also different cpu governors to help conserve battery life.

And if you choose to use kexec, you'll have to use the CWM Touch recovery.

If you flash the stock factory image in Odin, you'll lose root. Id just do a factory data, cache, and dalvik wipe.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Lime v2:
To clarify, I was talking about just going into settings and resetting the phone, not going into recovery at all. Wasn't sure if resetting the phone once it was rooted would cause it to boot loop or anything like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cvballa3g0:
Oh, you're fine. No bootlooping.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cvballa3g0:

If you flash any of the current rooted images via odin you will revert back to VRLF2, but that shouldnt be any real issue.

I'm having trouble with the root image file I downloaded, open says extract tar file but after i have the file it doesn't let me do anything. Is it just as simple as changing the extension or how is it done? Thanks

M.yA.nD.droidS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cvballa3g0:
No, you have to extract it. Into a 1.5gb zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mad96:
I tried that and it says it can't do that to a .torrent file idk, it's a little frustrating lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cvballa3g0:
You weren't supposed to get a.torrent file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flamus:
That is the file to download the ROM. You need a torrent client such as uTorrent. Open the .torrent file with the client and wait for the 1.5gig ROM. :)

Couldnt get the custom kernel and recovery to stick. I used ez recovery app to flash cwm touch. Put zip file and kernel on root of external sd card. Changed name of kernel to boot.img using root explorer.....also tried just changing it to boot. Booted into recovery. Flashed the zip. Didnt Work. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cvballa3g0:
Try manually pushing it.

Dowmload and install terminal

Type these in. Be sure to change the name to boot.img. to get imto the kernel, you have to rebooting using the recovery method.

su

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 bs=256k

reboot recovery

It was my stupidity. I was using the internal sd zip. All Good now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Malaclypse5:
Can't Access External SD in CWM Recovery

I feel a bit foolish here, assume I am missing the obvious. Coming from an E4GT. I have the latest CWM (tried both standard and touch, touch currently flashed) but cannot install a zip file from my external SD card - I can only browse the folders on the device storage. I've tried mounting ext_sdcard, which appears to complete successfully, but no joy when looking to flash a zip from sdcard. Also looks like my backups in CWM are going to local storage, which isn't preferable. Many thanks if anyone can set me straight here!

UPDATE: Resolved: If you have this problem you probably flashed recovery from ROM Manager (my first time to do this). Use the EZ Flash instead - CWM through ROM Manager may not see external SD card files (you may still need them to be root if you have problems).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Assimilated Android:
Another success!

Much thanks to everyone! Just rooted my Verizon GS3. Everything works, Root66 is awesome! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmbfan13:
So the root method described here should work? I will just go back to the previous version? My phone came with VRLG1 already loaded.

Wanted to check in and see if this thread could come back to life discussing dual boot.

Before flashing a new custom touchwiz 4.1 I tried running the new nightly's for CM10.1. I liked it but wasn't ready to live in it full time.

Then I remembered seeing the dual booting stuff discussed back in the Summer.

Anyone updated this stuff to work with current recoveries and kernals? I'd love to try the dual booting stuff.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] verruckterGeck:
I recently got a GSM gNex and last night I decided to upgrade to JB using the OTA links posted here in the forum. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed twrp's recovery, installed SuperSU and then the JB 4.1.1 OTA file and everything went smoothly. Since after the upgrade, on my PC when I connect my gNex, I'm getting a "Fast boot read error" and my PC stopped recognizing the device. I switched to my Mac and got everything I needed done. Why am I here? Obviously I've been able to go into twrp recovery to do a lot of this stuff. But now, anytime I try to go into recovery mode, I get the screen with android lying on back with the exclamation point. I have to flash recovery (I've tried CWM, CWM touch, optimus prime touch) using fast boot every time I have to go into recovery. I tried going to recovery using ROM manager and that gets me to same situation. (Android on back).

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
If 4.1.1 is anything like 4.0.x, you'll have to rename/remove this file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Make sure you are getting the Samsung version and not an imitator. You can verify it's the OEM version because it will support NFC (which I'm assuming is something you might want).

Updated last night just before bedtime and i'm having a few issues

How are you doing that?

I cleared the dictionary from the Settings --> Language and Input --> Swype settings.

That didn't resolve it. I'm noticing that many of the settings in this category are entirely unresponsive as well.

If I go into Swype from Settings--> Applications, the Clear Data button is greyed out.

Force Stop doesn't enable the button, Disable doesn't enable the button.

It also just continuously shows "calculating" for the space stats.

I'm ALSO noticing that this morning, I used my phone for 20 minutes to send some texts and try to get swype working, and used 6% of my battery!

Looking at the Battery chart, I see my "mobile network signal" is staccato, interrupted black and green, green only 50-60% of the time. Not sure if this is contributing.

And I've lost 4% more as I've been typing this on my PC - phone not even on. Total time since unplugged about 45 minutes now.

Any help on the above?

I'm running 4.0.4 as well and I'm interested in rooting. What I'm confused is where the rooting actually occurs.

By flashing CWM are you rooting it? Or when you install superuser your phone is considered "rooted"?

Installing superuser gives you root aka administrator access

You don't loose any data / settings / apps when rooting. It all the stays there. You lose these when flashing a new rom and that is why apps like Titanium Backup are available

Does nandroid simply backup the entire system to a file that I recover from in CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Yes. That way if something goes wrong you are able to restore to a point when your phone was working properly. After a backup is made you can find it under the cwm folder on your SD card and copy them to your PC for safe keeping. Still leave them on your SD but as u update roms or switch roms u can blow away older backups u don't need anymore. I would recommend always keeping the stock rooted and unrooted though. Odin is always there if u soft brick / need to go back to stock

[Desire HD General] elmanortega:
It’s been nearly two years since HTC first announced the Desire HD, making it a proper dinosaur in the smartphone world. Despite its age, the manufacturer had been planning to give the smartphone a fresh new start with an Ice Cream Sandwich update. At least, that was the plan, but now it seems that HTC may have reversed course, and the Desire HD won’t be seeing an official ICS release, after all.

Back in May, we saw a list of which HTC models were due their ICS updates, and when; the Desire HD fell in the July-August range. We’d assume that was still the case, were it not for Canadian carrier Telus updating its own list of future software releases, noting that the Desire HD’s Ice Cream Sandwich release is now canceled. According to the carrier, “HTC has [canceled] the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing.”

That’s a little surprising, because even with just a single-core 1GHz Snapdragon, the phone’s 768MB of RAM sounds sufficient for ICS operation, even if it might be a little pokey in spots. Apparently HTC just felt that the performance issues were too great to ignore; maybe Sense simply got in the way too much.

We haven’t heard any update from HTC itself on the Desire HD’s prospects, but if this really is the case in Canada, we can’t imagine things will be different elsewhere.

Are you kidding me? If you really had to post a thread about this, you could have posted it in general. Not in the development section.
[Desire HD General] MusikMonk:
First of all, wrong section.

Second of all, you'll notice that their source is actually from an XDA thread, this one. (And seeing that the linked page is the one that contains my post I guess I'm the source :P)

However, an XDA user contacted HTC on their Facebook page (link to post) and got the following answer:

That's mentioned in the thread linked above, and that thread also contains an email reply that a different user received after emailing HTC's support and the email said that the update is still happening.

My

guess

is that HTC were hoping to get the upgrade ready by now, they got issues so they postponed the release, and some kind of miscommunication happened between them and Telus.

Either way, we're still in the first quarter of the time range HTC gave for the upgrade. So unless HTC makes an official statement that there won't be a release, then there's no reason to despair.

[Desire HD General] gagdude:
Sorry to be slightly off topic, but HTC never mentioned the Inspire 4G to get Ice Cream Sandwich, despite it being the AT&T version of the Desire HD.

Do you think the Inspire will get ICS?
[Desire HD General] HTC_Phone:
HTC, unfortunately, has no control over the devices chosen to get an upgrade. HTC may make software that is for a device, but the carrier may say no. Sadly, ATT has deemed the Inspire to be End-Of-Line, and will receive no future updates. GB was the last, and final update.
[Desire HD General] TwistedSanity666:
if the new Desire C can run ICS and new Sense on a measly 600Mhz processor, the desire HD certainly can too

[Desire HD General] Hunt3r.j2:
Desire HD will get ICS, if the Incredible S with the exact same specs is getting it too, then it would be trivial for HTC to do the same for the DHD.
[Desire HD General] Kevincarranza:
Well I can understand HTC Inspire will don't get ICS, but what's app with Desire HD?
[Desire HD General] MadMax:
one I do not believe Telus will not upgrade it. If they do not, I will be organizing a petition against them plus they will be getting some nasty phone calls. Plus I have a neighbour that works for Telus (but does not work in mobile) but I will ask him for help with this also.

There is no reason for the Telus Desire HD not to get it, it is not at the end of life, so there should be no reason. I think someone at Telus posted this because they know we are all waiting for it

Also shouldn't this be in general, and not development

Edit: I can not even see the phone on Telus site anymore (does this mean end of life)
