Hey,

I tried to use the root with official international JB I9300XXDLJ4 but I'm not fully rooted for some reason.

I can access system folders using root explorer but it didnt show me the super user window that ask for my permission. I tried to download "root checker" and it starting to check but never stops.

I first realized I'm not rooted when I tried to use this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gokhanmoral.fastdormancytoggle.i9300&hl=en

But it was stuck.

I also tried to use cf-root 6.4 but I got same situation, so I tried to use cf-auto-root again, but again, not fully rooted.

Results from Root Checker:

SuperUser: Not found

BusyBox: Not found

Su(v0.96:SUPERSU): /system/xbin/su

Sudo: Not found

Environment Vars: /sbin/

/vendor/bin/

/system/sbin/

system/bin

system/xbin

I will appreciate any help!

Thanks

Go to superuser and go to settings and then full root uninstall.

Then use Odin and flash auto root again. All should be working.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elad92:
First of all thanks for your help!

I tried to find Superuser but saw that it wasn't installed.

So I went to Google Play and installed it from there, then I went to cleanup - full unroot

and flashed again cf-auto-root.

Again, I found out that superuser is not installed for some reason, so i installed it from google play again, and everything was well.

The root checker app claims that I have root, but for some reason the parameters are the same as in my previous post, so it's strange.

But now I have root access and can use apps that require root so I think it's normal.

Should I check why the parameters in root checker are the same as in my previous post or is it normal?

Anyone have a link to 6.0.1.4?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
You need to flash this you must use JB. IF it didn't work flash siyah kernel than flash it again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mcbyte_it:
Does this work with all JB version? My device got XXDLJ2 (French unbranded model), which is not included in the SGS3 toolkit root methods.

I want to root and have CWM to be able to put custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 0mega007:
Hi im confused, do i lose root of CF Root on any of this cases?:

1) I factory reset from stock 3e recovery.

2) I factory reset from android booted system.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mikep99:
1 - no

2 - no
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
1 ) yes it works with JB

2) don't think it works with cwm.( correct me if I'm wrong)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZxCv84:
Any chance of getting support for GT-I9305N ?

I don't know whats needed, the sources are where they usually are, sorry can't post direct links yet.

I'll be glad to provide if something is needed for this. Triangle Away sadly does not work with this device either ;(

Should be somewhat similar, only specs diff is that it uses LTE on 900/1800/2600Mhz instead of the non N version that use 800/1800/2600MHz atleast here in Sweden.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
Have you try the latest 2.20?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Are you sure about this mikep99? (or Chainfire, if you happen to read this) Have you tried it? Is it ok to flash on top of 6.4? (Apart from the CWM app not working?). Will that effectively just get rid of cwm recovery and replace it with stock recovery?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZxCv84:
Yes 2.25 Did not work. Complains about hidden partition not found. Are you running ICS?

If I had other N kernels I could try but there isn't :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
It also says that if you don't have root ... (or didn't grant it)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
I'm running JB I9300 not sure about N.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Ah wait, you're running the GT-I9305N... Find me a stock firmware, and I'll see what we can do.

Also make a Mobile ODIN dump file please (just install "Mobile ODIN Lite", it'll offer to make you a dump file when you run it)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
I'M rrunning 6.3 if you flash cf auto root it will overwrite your cwm.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] stelioskal:
Ubuntu not Windows

hi thanks .

Iam having one huge problem my pc is not Windows !

I have ubuntu so I can't use odin .please give me a solution
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 0mega007:
Yes it worked over cfroot 6.4 and got stock recovery, but is best to first Go to superuser and go to settings and then full root uninstall. then install autoroot.

I first installed it without removing root and the susuperuser didnt install correctly because was already installed from 6.4.

but after i removed full root from su, and installed autoroot again everything worked correctly.

Then i installed triangle away and i am flash count 0 and all official, and the flash counter stays on 0 on reboots :laugh:

I just got non stock the modified status because of the root on the about my device settings info

Thanks to all.

GT-I9305N

Anybody knows if it works on GT-I9305N? If not, will it be supported in the future?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Thanks for your answer. Just to confirm, having stock recovery doesn't change the fact that Samsung OTA will not upgrade because the system is modified, right?

Just read the previous page...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZxCv84:
Sure the firmware is here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/178057747/04904bf/I9305NXXALIA_I9305NCOVALI7_COV.zip.html

However Mobile Odin Lite didn't ask for dump, nor I could find a option for that? Also tried with flash kernel addon for I9300 but didn't make any difference. Anyway checked some previous dumps and tried my best to do dump that manually, getprops didn't however give any output, maybe it needs more flags? Anyway I'm attaching what I got out... maybe it is enough? ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
I really need the output of "getprop" (notice the lack of an S !), as well as "ls -l /dev/block/platform/*/by-name"

Really weird Mobile ODIN didn't do anything though. What did it do or say ? I expected it to give an error and ask you to make a dump file.

EDIT: Doh, you're probably not rooted. I'll make you a root first, *then* you can go make a dump with Mobile ODIN for me!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Ok, I posted the root file for the GT-I9305N in the third post!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZxCv84:
Nothing, I could enter the program but there were no alternative to dump.

I think I had root before but who knows if it was correct. flashed your 3rd post/above. getprop works now in terminal emulator. But Mobile Odin Lite is stuck with "with Loading.. Checking SuperUser support ..."

Attaching getprop and platform-by-name
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 0mega007:
I think OTA Should work but root might ger removed and just cfroot would need to be reinstalled, but im not sure, i havent used any OTA update and i will stay in my current ICS rom and wont update.

But even if ota wont work, you can use odin to flash the updated firmware, is easy. just like flashing the cfroot .
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33k:
Chainfire...

What would you need to make this work for the Korean versions? SHW-M440s -same as i9300 basically and SHV-E210(S/K/L)

TIA
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cammel:
@chainfire as you probably know, in every stock jelly Bean firmware update that has been released for the international galaxy S3 I9300 after installing jb, when you enter to stock recovery the android robot is laying down on his back with a red exclamation mark on it, it happened on every single jb firmware that I (and lots of other people's) tried. If you go back to ics then the android robot on stock recovery is fine.

The thing is that today I updated to the newest Spain jb release (DLJ4) and of course after flashing with pc Odin my root was gone, so I flashed this new auto root tool from you (for the first time cause I always used cf-root) without any issue, but I got surprised that after flashing this auto root tool and entered to stock recovery again (the one is installed after flashing this auto root tool) the android robot was fine and not lying dead like it was before rooting it! Is there any explanation for this? Is a different recovery versión the one is flashed with auto-Root? Cause it also doesn't have one option called adb ot something like that...

Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

how to install zip files in cwm recovery in this autoroot?

mobile odin pro is required I dont have credit card for pro version any other option ???
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
I think CF-Auto-Root actually includes the ICS recovery, not the JB one.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dredmann:
I haven't tried it as I'm running CM10 at the moment but can I assume it can be installed with Heimdall like in version 6.4 using the same procedure

sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --cache cache.img ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
I'm not a heimdall user, but I assume so, yes.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dredmann:
Thanks I will give it a try the next time I'm running stock.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SiriusCybernetik:
That would explain why my JB keeps claiming that the system has been modified.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
If those two things were related, that would indeed explain it. As they aren't, it doesn't.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cammel:
Ohhh...ok, but it can be used without any problem to root jelly bean firmwares I suppose... am I right?? Does the ICS recovery affect the phone in any way when used on a jb firmware?

Thanks a lot!!!

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfribeiro:
No, I am rooted and my status is normal.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZxCv84:
Same here, root, Zero counter, all normal.

Confirming that this works flawless with 9305N. Also Triangle away since 2.26. Thanks!

I had to do a factory reset, I guess something was wrong in my prior rooted phone enviroment.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Nightslayer:
Hi, i just got my S3 and its my first android device so i never flashed a custom ROM.. however i've read a lot so im familiar with the most common terms..

i just rooted my s3 with chainfire auto root.. but he says that he no longer support.. customs recovery.. so my question its.. how do i wipe my s3 y how do i install the Omega Jelly Bean v31 which i already downloaded, is it necessary install CWM?

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] willows:
i tried 29 times but my S3 still unrooted, please help me. I'm last time my s3 still ICS i rooted using CF-root 6.4 after i upgraded to JB i tried using CF-auto root but cannot.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pasci2:
I am having the same issue since I upgraded to JB (I9300XXDLJ1). I have tried the CF-Root 6.4 as well as the CF-Auto-Root v1.0 several times. The phone status goes from normal to modified after applying these patches. But I never get to see the SuperSU app icon. I also downloaded the SuperSU app from the Play store but the app keeps on crashing. I know for a fact that not rooted properly as Titanium Backup shows 'asking for root rights' and doesn't stop showing it. I have done a full unroot (via the SuperSU app) and a reflash of the CF and a reinstall of the SuperSU app but all to no avail. I cannot get my Galaxy S3 JB rooted :crying:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pinage:
I have the same issues as what the two of you experience too. Build number I9300XXDLJ1 too

I can't root 4.1.1 phone with this tool.

I flash it fine, but SuperSU can't install root thing.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pasci2:
Has anybody been able to get the supersu app to appear on 4.1.1 after flashing with CF? I and several others can't get it to root properly.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
Have you try reinstall super su?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jodvova:
I did re-install it after I flashed cf-auto-root. It didn't work.

I ended up rooting using old cf-root method. It worked fine.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pasci2:
Hi jodvova,

Which CF version did you use? 6.4? I cannot get it to work with that one either. Really would like to get my phone rooted as I want to use titanium backup and fixfi.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] oli3107:
I'm just gonna do it, if I break it, oh well.

But guys, I want CM10, how would I get this on my phone without CWM? I'm a major noob and need as much help as possible hahaha
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jodvova:
Yes, 6.4. I just flashed with Odin and it worked straight away.

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

Doesn't CM10 thread contain instructions on how to install it?

Usually you will need a rooted phone with either CWM or TWRP installed before you flash CM10.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pasci2:
Lucky you, I cannot get it to work with 6.4 or CF auto :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Isadora:
CF auto root worked absolutely fine for me on 4.1.1
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jomik:
I used this and now my phone boots up, I get to look through it for 10 seconds, then it reboots...

How do I stop this? I don't see any SuperSU app either. But it did boot fine into recovery and installed.

EDIT: Did a factory reset and wiped partition cache (?)

Didn't seem to change a thing, still rebooting randomly... No clue what happens before the reboot that causes it.

Can someone link me to a thread, or tell me how, to get it reverted completely to factory settings? I don't mind losing all the data on it, etc. I just don't want it rebooting randomly, lol.

Leaving it for a bit, it turns off randomly, then boots into recovery automatically. without me touching it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] karwankar:
Device status Normal even after rooting

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Erick_Nes:
Hi everyone! i don't know if the following question has already been asked, if it is sorry for the double post.

I bought my s3 i9300 with ics and rooted via cf root 6.4 and all were working like a charm, than updated the phone with kies at the official italian jelly bean firmware and re-rooted using this cf auto root. It worked but i noticed that now when i enter the device infos and check for ota updates it shows that my phone is modified and then i'm no longer allowed to ota updates. I tried using triangle away and now in download mode it shows all official but there's still no ota update availability because status is still modified. I think that this problem may be caused by the stock recovery (not jb stock recovery?) but i don't know very well, maybe i'm wrong. So my question is if there's a way to solve this issue or for the future updates have i to use exclusively kies? I prefer to do not factory reset in order to avoid all settings losses.. Thanks in advance for any reply.

Hey, I have the Unbranded UK(BTU) version, got the latest jellybean I9300XXDLJ4. I am trying to install this sound mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1888366), but I require root I dont want to flash any custom roms and want to stay as close as possible to unrooted stock. By using this auto root, will I get the minimum required permissions needed to install the audio mod?

Also would flashing the next original stock rom over odin, allow me to revert back to normal (I might look forward to going back to unrooted stock so dont want any excess files etc left behind)

thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Erick_Nes:
Ok, i saw it. many thanks!

For now i don't want to perform a factory reset for the above reason maybe i'll try to use cf root over. I used auto root because i don't mind to have cwm recovery for now as i want to keep s3 as stock as possible but still need root. :)

thanks again
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pasci2:
Hello All,

Something is not quite right with this root method for Galaxy S3 phones on Jelly Bean.

While some forum users report that they have no problems to root their phones with either CF 6.4 or CF auto, many others in this forum (including me) are absolutely unable to root their phones (with CF 6.4 or CF auto).

Is it perhaps related to the build number?

My build number is JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ1

Baseband number is: I9300DXDLI5

Any ideas as to what may be causing this and how we could get our phones rooted?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FACAF:
Hi, after rooting with CF-Auto-Root v1.0, the touch-screen of my Galaxy S3 I9300 stopped working. I tried everything I could think of, but I can't fix it. How could I fix it? I'd really appreciate any help you could give me. I tried flashing the stock room, but the issue prevails.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kangburra:
The only way to unroot your phone is to flash the original ROM via Odin. You have to wipe out the recovery (if using 6.4) and remove the kernel and apps.

A stock ROM will do this, a leaked repack may not as the modem doesn't have to be included. Go to Sammobile and get the full Rom and flash it in Odin, do a full wipe. Of course you may need to Triangle away before you start to reset your counter.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pasci2:
Hello Kanburra,

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Landorin:
Hi,

I used the older CF-Root with JB on S3. Since then I can no longer use OTA as it says this device has been modified and no updates are available.

My question is: if I flash an original older ROM, update it via OTA to JB and use CF-auto-root, will the device accept newer OTAs again and no longer claim it has been modified?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chainfire:
You can have root or OTA, choose one.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] PIRATA!:
So resetting the flash counter doesn't give the capability to have OTA on rooted device, right?

And if I un-root for checking some OTA updates and then root again...it's this possible? I mean...I root with your method...then once a while I un-root just to check OTA...will that work and connect giving me OTA results?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Landorin:
Thanks for the response, Chainfire.

Do you know if an S3 which uses official JB and CF-auto-root can still receive updates via Kies instead? Just wondering if there is any way to still receive official updates. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kangburra:
Why? The Rom will be available on sammobile so just flash with Odin .
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cammel:
Hi @Chainfire, do you have any idea what a little red exclamation mark on the top left corner of the screen means when the phone goes into the big read android logo to apply root when using this cf-auto-root on an international galaxy s3?

Also if I use the "old" cf-root 6.4 to root my s3, when I turn the phone off, and then press volume up+home+power to enter cwm recovery, between the "Samsung galaxy GT-I9300" screen and until the cwm is opened there is also a red exclamation mark on the top left corner of the screen that I have never seen before... If I flash back to any stock firmware, without root or custom recovery, when I enter stock recovery that red exclamation mark is gone, so everything is fine, but I don't know where or why did it came from, or maybe it is normal and I have never seen it before... But it always been there... I am really confused with this... :confused:

Hope, you help me

Thanks a lot in advance!

Well, I kinda trust the official updates more. How can I be certain the sammobile firmwares aren't modified in some way? Yeah they probably aren't but still leaves a strange feeling.

Thanks, that sounds interesting! Here's the quote:

Will give that a shot soon probably. :)

edit: at least for now Kies says I have the newest firmware, not saying I can't upgrade. Yet maybe it says that once there is a new version...

I make some test using stock kernel and siyah latest kernel with custom ROM. Before I flash siyah kernel, I go to setting,about device,device status is normal. When I flash siyah kernel, my device status is modified. I kept repeating a few times it keep switching from normal and modified.Firstly I do megawipe and install custom ROM.

EVEN IF you can get the device to say not modified and you could download the OTA that does not mean the OTA will succesfully flash. And one might while another doesn't.

Why does everybody constantly insist on knowing better ?

You trust some random dude's opinion on a forum but will not trust a well known (by some even respected) source of stock firmwares - makes sense.

As for KIES, a KIES flash is not a differential (as OTAs are), and as such doesn't really care what you are running on your device. As long as some parameters it looks for are correct (correct CSC + a stock kernel + somewhat "stock-ish" system partition will usually do).

Probably means you're running CyanogenMod (as in, custom kernel) and have a recent bootloader.
