So what happens if u un installed or froze bloat? What options do we have to recover this?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
If you froze a simple unfreeze should be fine. If you deleted it sounds like you'll need to use RSD Lite to go back to the stock firmware before taking the update.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticgorilla:
Well it's regarding rooting.

I heard it opens up a world of opportunity with your smartphone, and some apps I really want are only available vain rooted phones. I have the Samsung galaxy s3 international version. It was originally from Australia if that matters at all. It is on 4.0.4. Anyways, being a noob to android more or less, and being a bit apprehensive (because I have no warranty and I cannot obtain another phone easily) I was wondering basically how risky it is to brick your phone in a) the process of rooting your phone. Is it common? If it does get bricked is it reversable by a restore or simply gone? Also after rooting, is there any upkeep or management I need to do to make sure my rooted phone does not screw up? And lastly. What is the safest and easiest way to root the international quad core gs3 on ics. Thank you to everyone for your time (:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Well, most you could pick up be reading a bit, everything is already explained around here but since i was in your shoes very recently:

- there's always a risk. You need to be aware of that. That said, most cases that actually go wrong it's usually user's fault who failed to follow instructions closely. So read them. And read some more. And then read again just to make sure. And then i'd read again.

I used this very recent method from chainfire (salute and donate to the man if you like and can, he deserves it) to root my 4.0.4 international GT-I9300 S3:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957273

Triangled away next and everything worked like a charm. This preserves everything as stock as possible just adding root to your phone.

- from what i can tell, as long as you don't do anything that messes with the bootloader, you can always recover from a procedure gone wrong. Just disconnect, remove battery, insert and try again. Rebooting the computer or changing usb ports usually helps too (on odin).

- after rooting successfully, the very first thing you should do is backup your /efs folder. This is easy, just pick up root explorer or some other file manager that allows exploring you root (/), go up in your folders until you get to / look for the efs folder and just copy it (NOT MOVE) elsewhere (sd card, external sd, your computer preferably, whatever, just have that safe). This will come in handy in case you lose your imei at some point. Just restore this folder's contents and you're good to go. If that happens and you don't have a backup, it's a f'ing pain you can do well without.

- anything else root related is just common sense. Since you have the potential to screw up your entire phone with root permissions (this is why you don't have them in the first place), if an app pops up asking for root permissions, be sure what it is before allowing. If you're not sure, you can always deny first and allow later in the superuser app.

- you can also look into backing up with nandroid. You can think of this as an image of your entire phone. With this you can restore your phone to the same state it was when you did it. Useful when something went wrong and your phone doesn't boot anymore or you just wanted to try new roms with the option of coming back to what you had before. Not sure how you do it on the S3 still, but it usually requires a modified recovery like CWM. The method to root above doesn't install one though, it preserves what you had. Check this instead if you're interested:

Thankyou very much to everyone who has read and replied to this. 3 more minor questions. Is there a way to first update my phone to jellybean 4.1 via Odin or something like that? Or is this possible after root, because I don't want to stay on ics. Also what exactly happens if I update while rooted. Does it wipe or unroot my phone or the like? Also should my phone be in use debugging, and lastly what does it mean to unlock my bootloaders? That was more than 3 questions sorry :p thanks again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
1) You don't need to root to update to JB.

Just download any ROM you want from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 (I recommend the UK unbranded ROM, BTU) then use Odin3 to flash it to your devices. Search the forums for specific instructions on this procedure. I'll just tell that it takes no more than 2-3 minutes.

2) If you're going to root, I suggest you do it beforehand, by flashing a kernel like Siyah (in ICS), and then proceed to flashing the stock JB ROM, HOWEVER, instead of using Odin3, you will use MobileOdion (available from Play Store), because that way you'll have a fully rooted and stock device.

3) Using step 2 above, it will not wipe not unroot your phone. It is safe and retains all your settings. That is the beauty of MobileOdin. There is a free version.

If you root and THEN install via Odin (PC), then you'll lose root, but not your settings.

In either case, you only wipe the device IF YOU WANT TO.

So, the best option is to:

a) Install SiyahKernel using Odin3 (PC)

b) Download the JB BTU ROM from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300

c) Extract the .md5 from the ZIP file and move it to the device's ext. sd card

d) Install MobileOdin in the device

e) Use MobileOdin to flash the .md5 you moved to it in step (c)

f) install TriangleAway (download from XDA) and run it to reset binary counter (which got incremented in step [a] )

Results: rooted, JB, stock, all settins retained, no binary counter increment

Simonetti2011 I have been searching the internet here in New Zealand and that has been the best answer I have found so far!

I do have a slight question thought. I live in New Zealand and have the GT-I9300T model of the GS3 and I'm wanting to install the international unbranded rom for that I can get updates faster (here in NZ it takes months and months to get updates)

I downloaded the International UK unbranded firmware 4.0.4 and was going to flash that rom onto my phone then upgrade to jelly bean via kies but have since relised I should just download the jellybean UK firmware straight away. Do you by any chance havea link to the firmware that I would need, I noticed there were a few different versions.

Also about the CSC, would I need to do any changes?

Many many thanks in advance, Sorry for hijacking this thread, just figured I was on the same pages as the OP :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
Thanks!

The 9300T and the 9300 are NOT the same device, therefore they use different firmware (ROM). The ROMs for the 9300T are here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300T

I don't think there is a 9300T ROM for the UK, since the model released there is the 9300 (non-T).

It seems that either Samsung-updates hasn't indexed any ROMs for your model or they haven't been released.

About CSC: just don't worry about it... download and flash any ROM you want

for your specific model

and don't worry. If you don't like it, just download and flash another one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prawln:
Thanks heaps for that!

I actually just tried the UK unbranded rom that was for the i9300 on my i9300T and suprisingly everything seems to work ok so far (phone calls, txting, 3g etc)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticgorilla:
Thankyou to everyone!

Thank you for your responses to my post regarding rooting my s3. They were very helpful. i succesfully rooted via chainfire cf auto root for the I9300 model without problem. Just one last question, I have been searching around a bit and some people are saying that flashing the jellybean firmware via odin, is not a perfect copy.. i mean some say they have been experiencing very minor problems here and there. So, if i update to the uk firmware on jelly bean via odin or mobile odin, and i experience some problems, can i still get the official ota update or jellybean 4.1 via kies when it is released? Thanks again for your help. Im pretty new to this android stuff :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] oigonzalez13:
Just wanted to know if it is possible to flash any GS3 roms i.e vzw, tmo, att, int variant or is it only restricted by carriers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
ROMS must be ported to be used in others carriers. Some of them are for GSM devices and will not work on CDMA phones.

Sent from my O=O
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lolanerd:
Yeah like he said, if it's ported then you should be okay. But if you simply flash a rom that's based on a gs3 from a different carrier, especially a gsm one, you could brick your phone

The auto-rotate screen function does not work when the keyboard is under the screen.

Is there a solution or a trick to make it work correctly without an app ?

PS:The only roms who work normaly are the Asus-TF101/SL101 based roms like Revolver 4 but who are not JellyBean.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wally72:
That is an old trick. You have to lie to systemUI. Where the icon says H+ u replace it with 4G.png and thats it. If ur using a vrtheme zip, depending on the theme ur flashing...look for the 4G icon, copy and paste replacing the H+ after its renamed to H+ (off course). Either u do it to systemUI of the ROM (if ur rolling stock, or to the theme ur flashing)

There's a better explanation, but this is only so you have an idea of how u do it!;):p
