Odin does not need root. It's a standard software from Samsung to updates/upgrade/downgrade stock ROM or even flash baseband (upgrade/downgrade). But in order to use ODIN, your phone must be on download mode.

I hope this is simple enough for you to try. Again, please read my first post comments.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] melledug:
if me no root but live use flash cwm via odin, whats live root?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bbmadzky:
I've been trying to figure out what you really mean but I really don't understand.

In one way or another, you will be needing both root and CWM if you're to use your phone to the fullest. I strongly suggest to do the two things.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] necrohades:
i suppose your question was "do you need root before flashing CWM with ODIN?"

i think you can flash it (CWM recovery) without rooting, but on the other hand, CWM might need root access before it can work on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gmaster1:
Anything that isnt download mode always requires root if it involves modifying the /system

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
I think what this guy meant was: If I'm not rooted, but can flash CWM using ODIN, what's the purpose of rooting?

Assuming I translated his question correctly, here's my answer :

Flashing a recovery (RZR, CWM) or a ROM (BC2, Kez, BN, ArcoICS) is like installing Windows 7 on a PC: You don't need to know the password of the Administrator account of the previous OS; just boot the Setup DVD, and it has full unfettered access to the whole PC.

Rooting a phone is unlocking its capability. It's like resetting the administrator password of a PC, so that you can install things on it.

Yes. Totally agreed
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] NigthWolf23:
Guys,

I installed the CWM before rooting, is it a problem? How can I root my phone with CWM already installed? I am having some problems with Cyanonmod 10, for exemple, I can't take pictures because it says that there's no external SD Card installed what isn't true.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gmaster1:
Short answer: no. its not a problem. You can root your phone with cwm installed. It wont affect anything. And if you want root then just search it up.

Secondly, about CM10.1, its still in alpha.(bugs like that are always probable) Dont report it here. Report it in the CM10 thread. Its bound to get noticed more there and fixed quicker there.

That's right, I'm the premium potaytoman and i seek the TROOOOOF! Problem? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gameboy20131:
Not a problem, but u can't root your device with cwm6, only with cwm5 or stock recovery :)

in the middle of the partition phase it seemed to freeze. waited a good twenty five minutes. so i pulled the cord.

i'm also the type of guy that knows he's about to cause a big problem, but does it anyway knowing he has to fix it.

like i said this one has me stumped. Phone won't boot to recovery, download, or anything. battery charging animation doesn't show up.

the phone itself is still very warm when it's plugged in so i know it's charging.

My new theory is since i pulled the cord during the repartition phase, that the partition tables are screwed... any ideas?

Help? Thanks in advance

as u pulled the cable wen u ver flashing pit

and now as u say that ur phone dosin boot or show any sign of liffe

then its dead... plug it in charger for about 15 to 20 min and check if the portion below camera is getting hot

also u can try with a usb jig..

but there are high chances for the phone being dead now

Thanks guys, i was hoping that's not the case. Tomorrow i'm heading to the store to pickup a solder kit and some resistors, gonna make a jig. If that doesn't work i'll have to send my phone to get a JTAG repair as a last hope. it gets warm when it's plugged in, the battery charges, and when i unplug it, the phone itself stays on, but none of the peripherals work whatsoever. I have faith that i can fix it.

As for the warranty, it's been void for months after the screen cracked. I'll report back tomorrow to let you guys know how the jig worked.

[General Questions and Answers] Bal`thzar:
Ok so here it is in a nutshell. I spend half of the year in New Zealand and Half in the US, in new Zealand I am on a GSM network and have had good success unlocking IOS devices (AT&T) and buying a prepaid SIM card and using them there. I want to pick up a Samsung either a S2 or S3 and use it over there as I am just sooooooooo sick of IOS. with all of that being said. I have a few questions and I did a bit of looking but not sure.

I have a HTC Thunderbolt for Verizon (yes I realize it CDMA and wont work on GSM) and have rooted it and flashed a custom ROM on it so I am not unfamilliar with the process.

so first question

1. Do you have to Carrier Unlock Android OS phones like you do IOS devices Or do you just root and flash a new ROM to it?

2. Do all of the US based GSM carriers have SIM card slots? (I know the IOS devices on AT&T did.

3. If AT&T phones work over there will sprint and singular will work as well?

4. Since I will not be using 4G over there am I better off with the Galaxy S2, I was also looking at the Nexus as well any thoughts?

Guys I realize that there are probable 20 threads with the same questions or a variation and I have done some looking but with everything happening in my life at the moment I don't have a lot of time to make decisions about phones.

thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] jaidlion:
I'm going to answer this as best as I can. A CDMA phone overseas isn't usually a hot idea. A gem phone will typically have a sim card in fact I haven't seen one that didn't... and still fell into the gsm umbrella. Get an unlocked device as the only way a CDMA phone overseas will benefit you is if you find a CDMA phone company in aus and flash it. But again gsm will be the easiest way to go. Its a T-Mobile phone call and say you want a sim subsidy unlock (current active and not past due tmobile customers only) can take up to 14 days for the code.all the phones you will get in USA will need a carrier unlock unless a software one is available. And I'd go with the galaxy s2 just because it has some beastly ROMs and great longevity
[General Questions and Answers] Bal`thzar:
ok just to be clear I won't be using CDMA overseas jsut GSM. does the Galaxy S2 have software unlocks?
[General Questions and Answers] jaidlion:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/sgs-2-sim-unlock-code-finder-frees-your-sgs-2/

The thing to remember about benchmarks is that while they "test" performance in various categories all they are really doing are arbitrary calculations testing how well your device performs running that specific benchmark software. Extrapolating these scores to real world performance is often quite useless and inaccurate. Don't place too much stock on benchmark scores and just feel for yourself if certain roms/kernels feel laggier or faster.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RGoodSolutions:
I got the ICS 4.0.4 OTA update back around 7/12 and phone became a useless brick finally got the original GB 2.3.6 back on the phone and rooted ...

About 4 days after getting the phone back in working order the ICS OTA update was sent again and i would receive a notification message indicating to perform the install or do later about every 3 hrs or so...

Tried a trick by setting the date to way out in the future like 2025 the flip the date back to automatic and that would keep the message at bay for about 24hrs or until a reboot or power up happened...

So the next thing i tried was Root Explorer i removed '/fota.rc' and also the downloaded ICS update under '/cache'

So far the second option has prevented the notification message from reappearing until a reboot or power on happens ...

Theirs gotta be a another file i am missing that needs to be removed to prevent the power up notification from happing ...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
I may be wrong, but I don't think you would need to delete it. I believe that you would have the option to select T- Mobile or Simple Mobile. Check the Simple Mobile box and you should be good to go. Hopefully this helps you. I'm not 100% sure since I've never had to switch carriers or APN's.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Babydollll:
On(in) the apn screen, hit menu, add apn, fill in the blanks (I don't use Simple Mobile so I do not know the correct settings) and then save (or, menu> save) and when back at the apn screen tap the radio button next to Simple Mobile.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HTC-187:
Thanks for the reply everyone, but on my HD2 I did add the SIMPLE Mobile APN WITHOUT deleting the T-mobile one, and it didn't connect to the 3g/4g network. Once I deleted the T-Mobile APN (as the instructions say to do per Simple Mobiles website) it worked fine.

Now that I'm using my S3, I tried just adding Simple Mobile, and that Does NOT work. I recently found an app that allowed me to change/delete the T-Mobile APN (APN Manager), but maybe that didn't complete delete it, otherwise something else isn't working correctly.

Is there anybody that is using SIMPLE Mobile on their Galaxy S3 (T999)????????
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ralphwiggum1:
I just did it this morning. Added the new APN then selected the radio button (to the right of the name of the APN in the list). I was getting an average of 15 Mbps down.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HTC-187:
Your phone is SIM Unlocked? Is it Rooted? I'm just trying to get my setting working, and stock (out of the box), the settings for SIMPLE Mobile didn't work (I restarted and everything just as the instructions say). The T-Mobile APN was still there.

Please let me know exactly what you did so that I can try and make it work for me. Thanks.

EDIT: One other thing. I have the $40 SIMPLE Mobile Plan (which was working fine on my HD2) with unlimited 3g data. What plan do you have? Do you think that would affect it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] veritasaequita:
im pretty sure u need to go to mobile networks/network operators/default setup and choose manual before attemtping to do your add apn.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HTC-187:
I think this may have done the trick. I also think the connection is acting differently since I'm on this phone (with this stock ROM) compared to my HD2 (with CM9 ROM created by Tytung). So deleting the APN made it find the SIMPLE Mobile network, where manually setting this one made it so I didn't need to delete the APN.

Thanks.

Closely related issue - Please Help!

Your issue is closely related to something I'm trying to do, but unsuccessfully. I also have a T-Mobile andriod phone (galaxy) and I've recently switched to Net10 Wireless. The service is excellent and everything works great on the data side. However, I can't delete the T-Mobile APN and it keeps switching back to it randomly even though I've selected the radio box next to Net10's APN. It will work for period of time and then stop and I'll go back in to the APN settings, and sure enough, it has switched back to T-Mobile. It doesn't give me an option to delete this APN, only the one I added.

Any thoughts anyone?

Thank you!
