I know I'm likely being paranoid here, but just want to make sure.

If I download your files and install them will this still keep my Telstra Modem?

I have the i9305T and have found that I rarely get the same speeds with other modems. I'm 50/50 about rooting this one, had a lot of fun with the i9300, but this is so close to perfect, just want to get rid of some of the bloatware and maybe the ability to change the dock icons... Without going down the custom launcher route. Very happy with stock.
[Galaxy S III General] singlecell83:
It is a rooted copy of the optus rom so i suspect you will get whatever modem comes with that. I just follow on of the other 9305 root posts where you just flash cwm and super user. Worked fine for me on mg telstra phone.

Hi all,

Got my SGS3-4G i9305T yesterday, and followed the below instructions, and had no problems.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914394

Basically installing a ClockWorkMod and then the Superuser files.

It was very simple to follow, even if you haven't done this before.

Android 4.1.1

Baseband I9305TDVALI5

Build number: JRO03C.I9305TDVALI6

Any other info that you may need, please ask.

Hi Sorry for this post but I have a few questions. I have just recieved my optus s3 4g phone and am looking at rooting it. I have never had a android and mainly been using a iphone using jailbreak.

My questions are by following this guide I will have all the orginal software as what is currently on the phone but I will be able to access the root of the phone?

After this am I able add custom roms down the track?

If something goes wrong with the phone eg physical damage am I able to flash it back to stock as if I just bought it to send away?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] kazuni:
That is exactly correct.

Please be aware and make sure your device is I9305 not I9305T that's all.

Was the phone a Telstra supplied S3 4G,? Or was it import? The reason I ask is because I saw a 4g reception issue today while testing the phone at Telstra. 4g worked one and then not at all, even after switching phone to aircraft mode and then back on. It just would not connect to 4g even though the HTC next to it had 4/5 bars on 4G.

Anybody else having issues on boot up? It optimizes apps on every boot.

First 215 apps, then 153 every boot after that.

Tried Fix Permissions, and also deleting the Dalvik cache.
[Galaxy S III General] kazuni:
That's the problem, deleting dalvik will cause it to optimize apps.
[Galaxy S III General] numloxx1978:
Yes but I never deleted it, before it started.

It optimized the apps, on the first few boots, but kept on doing it.

So I deleted the dalvik cache in an attempt to fix it.

Hey, the handset was original optus stock. I have got it swap under 30days and all is working now, confirm with root too. :):cool:
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
I have Heard it works with Telstra Too, Which is GT-I9305T BUT not on this Root Its the other one----- Ausdim's Works with ALL I9305 & I9305T there basically exaclty the same, Just like the I9300 & I9300T They both rooted the same.

I dont know why we have this thread open as it says only Australian, AusDims one works with all, I think thats the only needed one so there is no confusion
[Galaxy S III General] Acesi7:
Has anyone worked out how to change the dock icons without installing a custom launcher? Would REALLY like to have this feature, it's the only thing that annoys me about this phone, aside from that. Once rooted and bloat removed. I'm stoked. :D
[Galaxy S III General] singlecell83:
Agreed, Also its not for all Australians, only those with optus. Its not really rooting your current rom, its installing a prerooted optus rom on your phone. So anyone who is not with optus might get a little ****ty.
[Galaxy S III General] numloxx1978:
Hi all,

I had an issue where on every boot up, it would optimize all my apps.

I reverted to the original stock ROM, re-rooted using the Ausdim instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914394 and slowly restored my apps 5-10 at a time using titanium backup, rebooting each time until all apps were restored (Most of them anyway).

Just wondering if anybody else has had this occur?
[Galaxy S III General] Djmazz:
I just got this phone a few days ago, Optus sgs3 4G. do all the files need to be extracted to make a complete file? initially i downloaded the zip, but the z01 file kept downloading as zip (assumed the same name as the first, but was unreadable and a different size) same with the .z02. the first zip file extracted and the hash matched, but now i tried downloading z01 again from hotfile and its NOW downloading as .z01, so I'm going to get the z02 file again from hotfile. the other links I had to use a download manager because it would open as random jargon in a web page. did anyone else have this problem? seeing as the hash matched on the tar file from the first zip, i'm not sure why there are 3 different zip files of different sizes... is it 1 zip file in 3 parts or 3 different zips of the same file? I'm just a little reluctant to flash the tar file after extracting from only the first zip in case it's not complete.

I'm familiar enough with flashing my original SGS1 with custom kernals and overseas firmwares but seeing as this is a new release phone and not much has been done with it yet, this is the only thread that i can seem to find that relates to my specific carrier's phone and I really don't want to ruin it just yet. I'm sure there is a way to re-flash with other firmwares if i do brick it (i bricked my old phone but odin saved me) but as far as I can tell from my limited research there are variations between models and carriers/countries? the performance on this phone is amazing, but the output volume for music is terribly low and I'd really like to put voodoo sound back on to make it louder!
[Galaxy S III General] JJJohan1:
Sorry my mirrors didn't work for you. The tar file is split over three zip files, so you will need all three, then open them with a zip utility like 7Zip, WinRar or WinZip.
[Galaxy S III General] Djmazz:
thanks for clarifying that! so glad I didnt take the chance of flashing an incomplete file a couple days ago!
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Isnt this the hard way lool I am in australia I used ausdims Cf Root and Cwm It was the easiest way and works with all I9305.. Still dont get why people using this one but anywaysss Do as u doo
[Galaxy S III General] Djmazz:
now that you mention that... its good to see other alternatives. though this being a stock Optus rom with root, I want something (at least for now until i'm certain) that would remain eligible for warranty (perhaps with some re-flashing). in the first post it says there is no exclamation mark showing its a custom rom/kernal, but in other pages i read it does show that... am i missing something? is it possible using Odin to make a complete factory default rip of the factory firmwares on the phone , to be used later just in case things go wrong and instead of claiming on insurance, would warranty cover it? I guess that's my main concern because I don't really want to be forking out extra money just for insurance on something i probably won't need, short of cracking the screen etc.

I don't know how much weight this bit of advice i was given holds, but someone at my workplace said a good way if you bugger up your phone is to stick it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. something about it frying it just enough to make it not work but not enough to show obvious physical damage. I guess some warranty claims go through even when there are obvious signs of wilful or negligent damage, and some will refuse for just a few drops of sweat from your hand (water damage)

Lol its funny why people are stil using this root method when there is a root and cwm:) in a thread in this forum in the same post. Just need to scroll down abit. I think the noobness gets activated when they read australia
[Galaxy S III General] Kaibosh:
CWM root method increases flash counter, this way doesn't. Perfectly valid for someone (especially if on Optus) to want to take this root (pun intended) if they have no need for cwm nor want to use triangle away - or are iffy about the cwm root since people have said that it's bricked their phones (regardless of whether that's the case or not).
[Galaxy S III General] R3XNebular:
Which one is more safer and can someone link me to the easier CWM method that btemtd is referring too?.

That triangle away is that using the old Jig from the S2? Will an old S2 jig work?

Optus S3 4G on Virgin Network

Cheers buddy!! worked without a hitch. Am with Virgin Australia who are a sub provider riding the Optus network. I19305 shipped to me had the Optus branding i.e. a few floating apps like Optus TV but they uninstall anyway and the unwanted installed apps etc. The carrier is Virgin. Flashed your file to my phone with Odin and all its all sweet. Not all Virgin phones ship with the Optus branding and I wouldn't tried it is it hadn't.
[Galaxy S III General] 380AU:
If you wanted stock generic firmware with no branding, would it be the I9305XXALI5_I9305EVRALI5 firmware you'd use.

As in here?

[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
This is for optus firmware (or subcarriers)... and also an outdated way of gaining root.

I only really built this so as to have a starting point for further customization.

If you want to root any i9305 use the method here

[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
You would be better off flashing your stock firmware and using ausdim's method of rooting.

as stated several times in this thread, this is the stock optus firmware with root injected. so of course you will get the optus apps.

[Galaxy S III General] timberwolf60:
Your phone is not brick. Off your phone, Press vol up, power and menu keys at the same time till samsung screen came out the second time, unpresed the power key with menu and vol up key pressed till the recovery screen came out. Done a factory reset. Restarted the phone. Generally this will solved your problem.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] outcrash:
Hey,

i've got a Velocity 4G Vodafone.

I tried the Hasoon All in One Kit 2.2.

Succesfully unlocked the Bootloader, installing the Recovery WCX was also succesfull and i think permroot also worked as there was the SuperSu App.

My Phone was still S-ON.

Then before i tried to flash a custom-rom i tried to flash the kernel!

I downloaded the Holics Kernel, extracted it, copied the "boot.img" to the kernel folder of Hasoon's All in One Kit 2.2.

Returned to the All in One Kit, clicked "Whit this command" and then GO!

After that, i got into a Bootloop :(

Then i plugged the usb cable out.

Still Bootloop, there was only the white HTC Screen and then black, then loop.

But i still can go into WXC Recovery, so I tried to install Holics ROM.

The ROM was installed but it still stucks in the Boot Animation of the Rom and doesen't go further.

When i get into the Bootloader there comes a message:

SD checking, no image found or wrong :(

I really tried many hours by myself, but i can't get it worked :(

Somebody got an idea what to do?

EDIT:

I relocked my Phone and tried to get RUU back.

It didn't worked and i tried so many times!

Now i realized that the RUU File was corrupt and only 145 mb big, also it has to be somethin with 400 mb.

I'll try to download it again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
That should fix it if your file is good , one thing tho don't pull the USB cable after the ruu has started even if it gets stuck let it set .

[HTC Jetstream] Giblet-dono:
Thank you so much for this awesome development!

I am going to try this as soon as possible

EDIT:

I got stuck in the Qualcomm DLoad mode after trying the first time and had a hard time getting out.

When you are also stuck in DLOAD mode you could try the following steps:

- Remove USB Cable

- Remove SDCard

- Do the wire trick, but toch only ONCE!

- Attach the device to your pc and you should see that it is in ADB mode now.

- Also on the screen you should see Juopunut with an arrow

- Put your SDCard back in the device

- Run controlbear.exe -r

Now the device should boot properly

-> if it doesn't try the next step on this page http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm - search for "ROM / Data Recovery:" and procceed with step 2

-> if everything else fails just go to the IRC and ask for help, hyuh is a genius!

-> IRC here: http://unlimited.io/support.htm

To get S-OFF you will require another SDCard as it appaers your SDCard is not compatible with this method.

I had a VERY cheap 2GB card lying around and used it.

This time it did work flawlessly

As I already said: Full credit for this solution gues to Hyuh

After that, nothing.

Connecting it gives me no in or output at all

Just to be sure... There is no practical advantage of S-OFF (for non-dev) for the Jetstream now isn't it?
[HTC Jetstream] kailashpchhabria:
From what I have understood by browsing and going through the other forums on devices like the HTC Flyer, I have found there is 1 use of being s-off. That is after flashing a rom from Recovery, we need not flash the boot kernel as we do now with the Jetstream. That is what my experience was on a S-OFF Flyer. Not sure if the same applies to Jetstream or not as I have not yet got it S-OFF and am waiting to see if it would be of any advantage besides what I have noticed.

Anyone else who knows better and can enlighten us?
[HTC Jetstream] BanBoo:
Yup that's right... But there are not that much Roms out there... So I don't really need to flash the boot.img that often :D.
