The first time I tried rooting my GS3, I had the same thing. CWM didn't stick. I just did the root process a second time and it worked. Sometimes, it doesn't take.

I suggest you follow the method from this thread. It's simple to do, won't bump your flash counter. It's a *STOCK* AT&T GS3 rom with a rooted kernel injected into it. It's quite marvelous, to be honest with you.

Here is the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

IF that seems too complicated to you, you can also use the S3 QCOM Toolkit that was posted in a thread on the development as well. It makes rooting, flashing CWM, doing backups/restores VERY simplistic. Just follow the very easy description and directions in the toolkit.

Happy rooting my friend!

Thanks for you reply

I will try to root it again with the methods that you linked, I do not know if I have to unroot it first, but i will try, coz I really want to try a new rom, but need to back up first, which method did you use?, thanks for your help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] reaganSMASH:
If you boot into the phone like normal, just go to apps. If you the app "Superuser" or "SuperSU", you are rooted. If not, the root didn't take and you can just go straight to flashing the rooted rom.

I had the same issue on my S3, as well as my EVO 4G on Sprint. You have to choose "Restart," not Reboot, and then hold the volume button up. Not sure why, but whatev. Hope this helps.

CWM version and ROM manager

I had a status (something - 7?) error after flashing CWM with odin and trying to flash a CM9 nightly. My fix was to download ROM manager with google play now that I was rooted and use it to install a later version of CWN. I then flashed CM9 successfully.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
I did some searching and wasn't able to find an answer to this question, so if it's already out there please point me in the right direction and forget this ever happened...

My main question is what exactly the purpose of su/root binaries are. I've done a lot of reading in all the threads dealing with gaining root access, unlocking the bootloader, turning off NAND security (S-OFF) etc. and I feel like I have a pretty good basic understanding of how it all works, but the piece that's still missing for me is how exactly root access is gained. From what I've gathered, it's not enough to just install SuperSU since that app still requires root access to do it's job. Are the su binaries the key to actually obtaining su permissions? A lot of the root methods (if not all) involve flashing Evo4GLTERoot.zip (or Evo4GLTERoot2.zip) and it seems like that's what's actually giving root access...so what's in it that makes it possible? I see some recovery images, adb libraries and a SuperSU zip file. Is the latter the root-giver? If so, how is it different than downloading and installing chainfire's SuperSU apk from the market? Also, when you run the app, there is an option to update su binaries...how does that fit into the equation? I've read about people losing root access after doing this on other phones, which seems counter intuitive, so I'm kinda confused about the purpose of it. :confused:

Sorry for the long line of questions...any answers are greatly appreciated. I'm a developer (albeit on Windows, but I do have some Linux experience), so please don't pull any punches when it comes to technical details. Thanks in advance...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
I have searched...extensively :) But I haven't been able to find any detailed information regarding my questions. Lots of general information about flashing su packages, etc. but I'm interested in how it works from a developer's perspective. I've read conversations between developers regarding su binaries but because they already have a mutual understanding of what they're discussing, it tends to be a little over my head.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Did the basic info site I provided help you understand

/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
Yes, it's a good start, thank you. One thing that's still throwing me though is that I've read some posts from people using one of the automated methods that say it completed partially (i.e. the bootloader was unlocked) but didn't actually root. When they attempted to install SuperSU manually, it complains about not having root access. Is that because they only have the apk and not the binaries? Do the binaries not get installed at the same time? Is that what flashing the Evo4GLTERoot.zip does?

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
Ok, went back and re-read a bunch of stuff with the understanding I gained from that article and it's starting to make sense now. Just one last question: when you install a custom "rooted" ROM, I assume that means that it has the su binaries and apk baked in. If that's the case, then really all you would need to do to gain root access is unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash the rooted ROM. Is that correct?

Thanks again...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
This puts su binaries in place that allow for setting the correct permissions in the system directory for APKs and apps that require r00t privileges to execute, such as Titanium Backup, and so forth.

Hello Guys,

i saw this SMSBomber and remember i also developed a app like that long time ago and though i can share it also with you guys. This is not a copy or something. I think why not sharing it!

Its in german but i think you can understand it also if you're not german.

There are no updates in planing!!

Textbox on top > choose contact

Second row left textbox > insert count of sms | Combobox > select predefined count of sms | Check if you want to send it with 1 of 10 and so on like in screenshot

Big Textbox > insert message

Senden button > send messages

First progressbar > how many text allready send

Second progressbar > how many text are delivered (maybee not true what displayed)

Please remember all sms costs like you use your normal sms app!!

Count of sms * costs per sms

For example in Germany

10 sms * 0,19€ = 1,90€ !!!

Hello !

When I am recording a movie (with antishake off or on - is the same) camera is starting to refocus after every 3 seconds when I dont have moving persons/objects and even often when I have. So, my movies are useless (unlike my old iphone 4s which is recording perfectly). Is there any trick or settings to make it better or at least useful?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kungfugecko:
Both my wife and I have VZW galaxy s3, mine is rooted and I have an extended battery, hers is stock. My battery, however, drains insanely fast, with very little usage. I installed the app 'cool tool' (monitors cpu usage/frequency) on both of our phones, and noticed that while hers changes from 200-384-1512MHz constantly, mine is locked on 1512MHz. First of all, why is mine locked on 1512 MHz? Secondly, could this be what is draining my battery so rapidly?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wjdunn3:
Yes, that is why your batt is draining quickly. If your CPU tool can't tell you what app is using the most CPU then find another that will (I use System Panel). So, causes...It could be an app or it could be something you have done to your phone.

Have you used SETCPU or some other CPU setting app to change your CPU governor and/or min/max clock rate? If your governor is set at "Performance" that will lock your CPU rate to max.

Are you running a non-stock ROM? If the ROM has CPU/governor settings, did you mess with them?

If it is an app, a good CPU monitor app will tell you which one and then you can get rid of it.

AFAIK, HTC sated that Sense 4 has a different style of usage and since people would have got used to the Sense 3 style and settings, they did not want the user experience to change a lot. Therefore what we got is some goodies of Sense 4 in the form of a new Sense 3.6 UI.

We all know we have a pretty good phone but nothing is ever perfect so I thought I'd start a thread where we can identify the little (or big) things that frustrate us about the GS3. Feel free to chime in if you have any of your own, or workarounds for any problems that are listed.

1. Notification settings are spread all over the place and there is no single place where you can adjust ringtones, email notifications, SMS notifications, notifications when on a call etc. Very counterintuitive.

2. Lack of official accessories despite a lot of marketing hype at launch

3. Stock email app won't stick to "Combined View" when configured with more than one account. It keeps switching back to displaying a single account.

4. Wifi refuses to roam between access points, even if the AP it's connected to has barely any signal and there's another one in range with excellent signal strength

5. If you are in a quiet room and get a new email notification while on a call it affects the noise canceling on the phone and makes you sound like you're locked in a closet.

6. Internal/External sd card setup is a mess

7. No generic USB storage mode

When you say there is no usb storage mode are you saying you can't plug in the device to a computer and drag and drop files? That's insane why would they take that feature away? This must be because of that MTP crap. Is that because of Samsung or is it stock Android behavior?
