[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Easiest would be to just flash mrRobinsons root66 fw. Its in development section.

Otherwise, in odin uncheck auto reboot and flash recovery. Then after flashing recovery unplug, hold power till it shuts off, tgen release and immediately press vol up + home + power (be quick). When you see blue text flash at top of the screen release buttons. Now in recovery flash superuser, reboot, and delete/rename these:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Reinstall recovery using rom or goo manager.

Done!

Worked like charm choose the easy way with root66 and currently rooted and already looking at some custom roms xda rocks great support

do i need to be rooted to view the /sys folder on my s3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes. You're not even supposed to have access to /data or /cache by default.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] otariq:
Really? I think with es file explorer u can see those files but just can't make any changes
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I couldn't the other day. Root Explorer couldn't see anything in /data or /cache.

Didn't try another file utility though so coulda just been mine I guess. (It did say I didn't have permission to view the files in the folder though)

Hello all,

I know everyone hates people who post without searching the forums first, but I did and I am still very lost on what all I need to do to root my device and get going flashing ROMs with the new 2.20 Root Method.

I have used this thread to get me started (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684382&highlight=root+guide) and I have already downloaded Android SDK from google + Platform-tools + Google USB Driver but I don't want to get going on root because in the instructions from 2.20 Root it states:

10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).

I have searched the above linked thread and cannot determine how to generate a custom recovery partition (unless I did when I used the command "adb -backup all" in the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK..Furthermore, I do not know what "Superuser and su" is referencing.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I dont mind doing the reading myself but I have gotten bogged down in the details. Basically, I want to save all of you the trouble of another noob who has bricked their phone because they didn't do their homework. Thanks all for your help!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ctennenh:
I second this request. I feel like there are loads of helpful threads but after searching for a long time I don't see anything that leads someone new to Android rooting from stock 2.2 to having something like CM10 on their device. All of the write-ups I've found assume more experience than I have. Is there a general guide somewhere that I'm missing? Maybe something that explains rooting, backing up, flashing, etc. from start to finish where we can replace "this is where you root your device" with the new rooting method? I'm assuming it's out there but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You don't need to "generate" anything, not sure where you got that terminology from. Just install Goomanager from the Play Store and use that to install TWRP recovery.

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

In plain terms a superuser = a root user. But when discussed here, it usually references the app that manages what other apps have root access.

Superuser is required to perform root functions.

You can obtain the app various ways, all discussed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1954361
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
They are many simple tutorials for rooting but do not know why you guys having hard time. Ok here is

1) You got Android SDK from google + Platform-tools + Google USB Driver -

2) Only for windows - Download htc sync ( It will install necessary htc drivers) - Link

3) Just to check if htc drivers installed properly , open "C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists).

4) In command window type " adb devices" and see output - If you get output then htc drivers installed properly.

You can skip step 3 and step 4 - These steps are only for verification

5) Goto [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 2.20 Firmware - X-Factor root exploit and follow the instructions there.

6) Once you successfully root your device using above exploit then goto - [How To] Flash Custom recovery and ROMS after 2.20 root complete the steps to flash custom recovery and if you want to flash ROMS

7) To unlock BOOT LOADER use this link - [INDEX] AT&T/ROGERS One X Resources Compilation Roll-Up , follow the instructions under " BOOTLOADER UNLOCK, SUPER CID, AND S-OFF"

You can also goto this link - [ROOT][2.20] One XL Bootloader unlock & Root guide By XsMagical - Very nice tutorial, if you find above links difficult to follow

Note* : During exploit or flashing recovery they talk about using fastboot commands, In order to execute them you need goto C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists) and then execute the commands ..

Advice - Do not flash any roms apart from xda
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ctennenh:
Thank you, abhipati. I haven't seen any simple tutorials that are complete. Everything seems to assume the user knows how to do something mentioned in another thread, which in turn seems to assume something else. Your post seems like a very clear start-to-finish explanation. Maybe it should be made into a stickie in Q&A. I can surely handle step 1 but maybe that could be explained (or at least a link added to an appropriate thread).

If all this is out there somewhere already then I certainly didn't know where to find it. I appreciate your help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
No problem.

Regarding step 1)

1) Download Android SDK from here {For Windows}

2) Download java you need it - here
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Thank you all for helping gather some resources for me that I know are up to date etc. - Thankfully I do know a few unix commands so that I can navigate the command prompt aspects...I'm sure these threads get annoying so thank you very much for getting a new-to-root user up and running. I'll try this all later this evening and throw an update to let you all know how it goes -- hopefully no "bricked my phone" thread in the future :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Excellent I have successfully unlocked my bootloader and achieved perm-root! Now on to flashing roms and I have some questions:

1) I have read GuyIncognito's instructions here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952076) on Flashing ROMs and how to go about doing that and i fully understand the process but I want to confirm (Yes I Have TWRP recovery installed and running) I only need to extract the boot.img out of the winRAR file of the ROM that I downloaded? (CM10 seems to be popular so I'm starting with that as my first ROM) There are so many other files in the package and I'm wondering why do you only need the boot.img file to be present with your adb and fastboot files from the google dev SDK -- the boot.img is only 5 MB and I can hardly believe that it constitutes the whole OS?

2) How do I go about installing gapps after I have flashed my ROM? I have downloaded Gapps so I have the file...do I place it in my SD Card and then enter recovery to install it? or Do have to use adb to flash it

Edit: I also have Superuser app on my stock ROM right now

Any further help is much appreciated, thank you very much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Boot.img is technically just the kernel, it's the heart of the OS you are installing. Once extracted, rezip rom. Flash boot.img first using fastboot command prompt. Then flash the Rom itself that you rezipped through twrp

You can easily just flash gapps through twrp.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Thanks for the reply, the community on XDA kicks a$$, doing some additional reading just plz tell me if I understand this correctly...

1) Copy CM10 zip and Gapps zip into phone storage

2) Follow GuyIncognito's instructions on flashing boot.img

3) Boot into recovery AFTER Flashing boot.img

4) Select "Install" in TWRP

5) Install CM10 zip First

6) Install Gapps zip next

7) Reboot

8) profit?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
follow his instructions and you'll be fine

flash the boot.img in flashboot, reboot in recovery, flash your nameofrom.zip, flash your gapps pkg just like the rom (on your sd card), enjoy...

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

yes that;s correct you may wanna backup your sd card 1st as well and do a full wipe before flashing the rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Just in case your not familiar with fastboot, the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
By Flash do you mean using TWRP recovery "install" feature and selecting the CM10.zip I have in my SD Card, and gapps? Just making sure I dont have to do it via command prompt cuz then I may have to do some additional reading

Edit: Just saw you all beat me to it, thanks all, will get back to you after I am running a ROM *crossfingers*
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
yes install. you dont need to do it from command prompt, additional reading is always good ;)

even though it was put together a while back this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678308 is a very good guide and covers a lot of things of course you should absolutely start here in redpoint indispensable guide to all the resources available to one xl http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

Alright Looks like I successfully flashed CM10! I flashed gapps with it at the same time but I have run into a problem -- It keeps telling me that all these gapps processes have failed and I have no access to a keyboard! Do I have to reflash gapps?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Hmm ok I think I messed up here....

My phone was essentially non-functional with CM10 -- Nothing worked and it took me a while to navigate to enable USB Debugging on the given mod. One I enabled USB Debugging in CM10 I ran the following:

adb reboot recovery

Once I was in recovery, I Restored a backup of my device that I made BEFORE I obtained permanent root via the toolkit as it was recommended during this time to make a recovery.

Recovery worked successfully, now after reboot it hangs on the HTC screen and then goes black, then reboots again, and again, and again...

I haven't been able to use the volume down + power button to even get back into the bootloader.....hopefully I am not screwed here...Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
I think u need to flash that backups boot IMG
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Yes that would make sense, but the problem is A) How do I access that backup's .img file? B) How can I enter bootloader again? It won't let me using Power+Vol Down, no matter how long I hold it for --- unless I need to hold it longer?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
You have to hold it till the buttons flash and goes black... Hold for about 2-3 more seconds and release the power button, but keep the volume down held until you get to a white hboot screen. (it'll have three skating droids)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Ok got it, did a factory reset then re-flashed CM10 boot.img...Flashed CM10 BY ITSELF this time, without doing gapps at the same time, rebooted into recovery after CM10 rolled up, then flashed gapps alone, everything is working smoothly! Now, time to restore my apps :D

Panicked momentarily, but now I'm back at it.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! Huge ups to all of you for helping a noob find his way :o

[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
First off, I am a noob. So forgive me for being an idiot(:

I got this rezound that gets stuck in the bootloop. Looks like whoever had it before me tried to relock the bootloader and failed. Well I tried relocking it. That didn't do a thing. Recovery doesn't load at all, gets stuck at the htc logo as well. I tried antp121's unbrick method and it didn't detect the device. I just really have no idea what I am doing anyways, so any help would be much appreciated(:

[HTC Rezound] jarde44:
Have you tried flashing a new custom recovery? Possibly try downloading Amon RA and flashing via fastboot. with a working recovery you may be able to flash a working ROM/Kernel combo
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
I'd say ruu it, looks like your on official ota, maybe you want to upgrade to the global ota?

Search for the global ruu. That will set you back to stock. But first, search for hasoon2000's all in one tool for the rezound to help you along with relocking bootloader and flashing a new recovery once the RUU has completed.

Sorry of this is too much for a beginner, it's really not complicated stuff and there are plenty of helpful people on here I'm sure someone would be willing to walk you through it

Good luck!
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Easy thing to remember:

If you see anything on the screen, it isn't bricked.
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
Thanks for the advice guys. Ill give it a try and see what happens.
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
So I flashed the ics ruu. Wouldn't load. I tried it several times downloaded from a different source. Do I need to unlock it again, flash a recovery and then a from? Or should it just work without doing so?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
What did it do when it got to bootloader? Make sure it's PH98IMG.ZIP and not PH98IMG.ZIP.Zip
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Squirrel is correct.. if your using windows 7-8. you just have to name it to PH98IMG it doesn't need the .zip cuz its in a zip folder (kind of a space saving thing windows came up with) you'll see the .zip when it start loading on your phone..
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
I named it properly. It went through the update process and everything. And I reflashed it multiple times with no success. It is s-on with relocked bootloader. After I flashed it it says push power to reboot. It reboots and gets stuck at the HTC logo like before. I've let it on for like 10 minutes with no progress just to be safe. Should I unlock the bootloader and try to flash a recovery, then a rom? Or should that not matter?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
The ruu must make 2 passes, so next time when it says press power to reboot, pull the battery and then boot back into bootloader. Sorry for the confusion
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
I've tried that several times as well, still gets hung up at the htc boot logo. Any other ideas?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
In that case, make sure the ruu you downloaded has the same MD5 hash as they other people's downloads (sometimes posted in op of thread).

Also try wiping everything from within hboot before running ruu
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
The MD5 hash is the same as many of the other downloads. I also can't wipe, it gets stuck at the boot logo. I'm gonna try another download just to be safe, I'll let update when that happens.
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
I tried manually flashing the latest ruu like using the command prompt via the android sdk. After checking the INFOsignature it says:

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

If that makes any kind of difference
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
The reason why it tells you failed is because the bootloader is locked. I'm curious if your trying the exe method or the method that can be done on the phone by itself
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
I've been using the bootloader zip method. I haven't ever tried the exe method before
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
I really wish I had the time to walk you through it sorry, I'm sure it's something simple. Make sure that if your doing this PH98IMG.zip to let it run. Literally put your phone down and do something else for like an hour or so after the first pass completes.
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
I'll try that. Am I keeping the phone on for that hour or pulling the battery for an hour?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Keep it on. Just let it sit there and go watch a few episodes of your favorite TV show on Netflix.
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
I'm assuming that I don't reset it then. Just leave it on the update page. If I'm mistaken let me know. I'll give it a try.
[HTC Rezound] bjthompson7:
Sorry for the delayed response. I had some computer issues): I tried it several times. The problem I'm having is that after I flash it once, not matter what I do it tries to reboot, even after I pull the battery. So I try to start right into the bootloader and it just turns on without going to the bootloader. I took it apart to check, and the indicators for water damage are partially turned red, like a little over half. I'm assuming that is the problem, but I could be mistaken. Regardless I have no clue what to do next.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt F:
I've been using CM9 for a while now. I wanted to try CM10, so I followed the instructions exactly. Nandroid my CM9. Flash back to the original OS, no mods, wifi on, everything working fine. I installed the cm10 zip, gapps zip, wipe data and cache(2x just to be sure), and poof... EFS is broken. I shrug, it's not a big deal, I boot up EFS Pro, restore my backup of the EFS, reboot... nope, it's broken again. I make a nandroid of CM10. I flash back to CM9, fix my EFS, things are fine. Flash back to CM10, poof, broken EFS again. So I start over. I go back to stock OS, fix the EFS, then load just CM10.zip without gapps, no luck. I flash to CM9, try to install CM10 and gapps zip over it, no luck. I tried CM9 with CM10 zip on top and no gapps, nope. CM9, factory data reset, CM10 on top, with and without gapps, no luck. No combination I can think of makes CM10 work. I find it hard to believe that there's no way for CM10 to work on my phone, but right now I have to choose between upgrading to CM10 or the ability to make calls. Please, someone tell me you're familiar with this problem and you know the solution, then I can feel foolish for not finding such an obvious solution and sheepishly thank you for the answer.

tl;dr - CM10 wipes out my IMEI/EFS. How do I fix it?(cm10, not the efs, I know how to fix that)

In case it matters, I've been trying the 10/24 CM10 night, the cm9.1 from 9/09, and the original stock OS.

My JB is stock and not rooted . So I uninstalled advanced battery saver and then the reebooting problem is gone for two days .

Then again it came back today . It rebooted once again when I was attempting to make call . I have read other threads and all the people have rooted or unlocked their phones and solutions are too those problems. And also my phone rebooting frequency is very low like that 2 times and today 1 time.
