It might be a hopeless case by now, but you can also try pushing androidlost from the market to the phone, via Play Store. And start praying that the thief has not wiped the ROM.

Good luck!

Well, thanks god you are safe and well right ? about the phone, without a tracing software i wouldn't have much hope. At least with the imei you would make it kind of useless as a phone for them.

When you register with them it's just easier for you to track your phone via your account but it's basically just a imei tracker it's just when you register your account details your imei just automatically get sent with your account I think?

You must live in a pretty ****ty part of Brazil, because I've lived there most of my life and never had a single phone stolen. And I always have high-end phones AND know how to use them for both safekeeping my private data and the devices themselves.

OTOH, in the 1 year I lived in Ft. Lauderdale (FLA/USA) as an exchange student, I was robbed about once a month, including having my padlock broken in my high school's lockerroom twice. In 37 years living in Brazil, I had a car robbed once in 1996 and that was it.

Hello everyone,

I have searched the forums for Galaxy SIII models which are vulnerable to risks when attempting to root them. Unfortunately I didn't find what I was really looking for..

The reason for this post is because a friend of mine hard bricked his Galaxy S2 because his particular phone was one of those who had the emmc bug.

It is described in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28388184

I was searching for similar threads regarding my SIII to make sure that it is safe to root it.

My baseband model is: I9300XXLH1

I know that there is always a certain risk when rooting your phone.

But I just want to make sure that there is not something like the emmc bug for the S3 and if my particular model is at risk.

Thank you

I'm in the same boat as you are! Would really love to root my fone but I have this obsession that by rooting, my efs folder gets corrupt and there is no way to get it back as it was since you can't back up the efs folder unless you are rooted in the first place!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luger77:
There is this thread posted today about someone rooting their phone and corrupting the efs folder! Now that has really put me off rooting :( guess ill have to stick with stock ROM :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
that was a i9305......and I suspect he didn't read properly first!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bordikun:
Pros:

1) Install system-replaceable apps and/or remove bloatwares and unwanted apps from carriers or stock roms.

2) Install root level apps, those apps that require root/system access.

3) Install, uninstall. Install, uninstall. Well that's it, to cut this short, basically, you will be able to install and use anything that is compatible to your phone.

Cons:

1) VOIDS WARRANTY. There are ways to reverse the procedures but I will not navigate you to this because you cheat the manufacturer, please don't pm me.

2) You increase the chances of malware infecting your phone's system.

3) Improper personal configuration and improperly developed apps can limit or destroy your phones configuration and function.

4) Rooting is best only for people who reads and comprehends.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinci5:
Well, all those pro's are what I want.

I had a Galaxy SII which I rooted and tried come custom roms without any problems.

I know how to root. I used CF Root for my SII as well.

I am afraid to root my SIII though. This because I've seen what happend to that friend of mine who hard bricked his phone becuase it had the emmc bug.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
the emmc bug isn't present on the s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luger77:
Ok then thats a different story altogether :).............but how on earth could you tell its an i9305? OP didnt say which s3 version it is :confused:

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

I just re read the thread again and the OP states that he rooted with the CF Auto Root v1.0 which is applicable to the i9305 version! He still bricked the fone by corrupting the EFS folder..............this is very confusing indeed :confused:

Still dying to root my s3 but scared to the bone that this might happen to me............and knowing my luck...........:eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
All I know is the original cf root works fine if you follow the instructions......if you have doubts then don't root, or read read read till you are certain what you are doing! It really is up to you, but is incredibly simple. Points to note.

If you have kies installed make sure kies is disabled before using Odin.

Make sure repartition is unticked

If after the root it doesn't seem to have worked, reflash but with auto reboot unchecked, when Odin has finished, boot into recovery and this triggers installation (see chainfires op if you want to verify this)

Never panic! ;)

I have run CF root at least two hundred times without problem . But i had a head start i read the instructions i read the faqs and guides before flashing any firmware to any phone .

The nub of users problems with this phone is simple they blindly go on the web get a root link bang it on the phone and then have to be taught how to read the instructions as its all gone wrong and they have flashed SGS with another phones firmware .

Honestly, the only reason I use root is to be able to install custom ROM's

I have to say that I like the S3 stock rom... that's why I've installed the Wanam ROM right away because it's the same as the stock rom without the bloatware.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Agera:
Hi all,

Real simple just would like to know is it beneficial for me to update my 5.0.2.7 of cwm in favor for a later version or even twrp? So far im flashing latest CM/AOKP builds with no issues. I haven't had the need to look into using another recovery and still to this day I am content with my current recovery.

What am i missing out on that could make this device even better to what it already is?

If anyone would like to know my flashing method is:

factory data/fullwipe x1

TDJ superwipe x4

Flash rom x1

Flash Gapps x1

Reboot wait 10mins

Reboot

Flash Cache wipe x1

reboot

And profit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:
Wow, you should use TWRP. Your steps now will be

* Back up

* Wipe cache/davik 1x

* Format system 1x

* Flash rom

* Reboot and wait 10m

* Reboot and free to go.

Much more simple than what you do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
What he said. As far as if its worth it to upgrade CWM itself? Yea sure. 5.0.2.7 has some issues which is why you have to use the darkside wipes. Here. Follow the flashing method in my how to thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1926754

No more need to use wipe scripts. Also ditch clearing cache and fixing permissions after flashing. Its unnecessary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Agera:
Wow!!!! ok im really behind the times..... O.o dam ok best i look into the current recoveries... thanks heaps guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] truckerdewd:
TWRP all the way. Much better than CWM

Sent from my wickedly awesome Galaxy S2 using my fingers. Duh!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Ugh.. just stop. Please. They both function and work perfectly well. Yes TWRP has a few features that can make flashing easier for the lazy, such as file queuing but to say that it's way better is a lie when they both function exactly the same. I'm tired of everyone badmouthing CWM and saying it has issues when the issue is the user himself, not the recovery. I've been using CWM for 3 years now, across 6 different phones. It's reliable and works perfectly well.

/end rant

Like I stated clearly in my thread, follow my flashing method and DON'T USE ANY DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE OR CACHE WIPE SCRIPTS!! Can't make that any clearer. Refer to the thread. I fully explain why in it.

ALTHOUGH... If you're going to flash TDJs Darkside ROM don't use any version of CWM other than 5.0.2.7. (TDJs ROMs automatically wipe with the darkside superwipe)

If that is the case use TWRP. Here's a copy of TWRP 2.3.0.0 I've uploaded to my dropbox for you.

http://db.tt/6lVWyHhD

Just flash it through CWM and reboot into recovery, then go ahead and use the darkside cache wipe once or twice then flash the rom. They work with TWRP for some strange reason.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
hi guys, I am not sure whether I am in the right sections. I have a Asus eee pad slider sl101.just now I tried flashing a new ROM using power button and volume down. I flashed a cm9 for tf101.now it is stocked at the boot screen with nothing happening. what have I did wrong? Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Solar.Plexus:
You flashed the ROM using CWM, correct? What was the name of the ROM?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
yes, it is correct I flashed using Clockworkmod by team rogue. I am not really sure what ROM I flashed. but I attached a image of the boot screen. but the ROM I flashed was for TF101(which I think should be compatible with my SL101). or do I need to flash a Asus stock recovery image to solve this issue? BTW is this a boot loop? thanks for the reply.

Edit: I found out the ROM that I flashed.

md5sum: dd80806298385a7a8057b21b384d389f. This is the stable ROM for TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Solar.Plexus:
If you're getting a bootloop, then something either something went wrong with the installation or with the ROM. I don't think it's kernel related since you're getting to the ROM's boot animation. I would try to relash to ROM or try a different one that clearly states it's compatible with the Slider, because I still don't know which one you flashed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
then how do I flash another ROM when the slider is still in the boot animation? also what ROM is recommended for the slider? I have searched most forums and most of them are for the transformer. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] farsight73:
I think even on that rom you should be able to boot in recovery mode. Perhaps you need to wipe data / cache and reboot again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
even I boot into recovery mode, it is only "clear data" or "android", if I wipe data, wouldn't my data be gone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Solar.Plexus:
A ROM that is guaranteed to work on the Slider is Android Revolution, created by mike1986. If I were you, I would just start over completely and flash that ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
so I just connect my slider to the computer, go into recovery, and flash the ROM?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
after flashing the Android revolution hd, it got worse. Now it does not even go into boot animation. It is stuck on asus screen
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zachf714:
Did you install the compatability pack
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Solar.Plexus:
This here doesn't sound right. You don't connect your Slider to a computer to flash ROMs. You flash the ROM (zip file) from recovery on your Slider.

Also, Android Revolution doesn't require flashing any compatibility pack. Since it is already based on Asus stock ROM, it already has the necessary files.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
oh ok, but after flashing android revolution hd, it just got onto asus boot screen. do I do a full factory wipe to salvage this situation?

Edit: i took a video of what i did and uploaded to my dropbox account.here is the link: http://db.tt/YhJUuT7N
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
what compatability pack are u talking about?mind if u put a link?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zachf714:
In the development section for the tf101

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

It's called slider SL101 compatability pack
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Solar.Plexus:
Don't worry about the compatibility pack for the Android Revolution ROM.

To flash this ROM, you MUST first flash the SUPER WIPE file that is listed in the Android Revolution thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
the lite version or full version?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Solar.Plexus:
In theory, either should be fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
ok, after flashing the super wipe lite and I flashed the ROM, it is still stuck on asus screen, do I use a nandroid back up and use the super wipe full version? it has been a week already and my problem still can't be solved:(. I am really getting very desperate.... what had happened????

Edit: problem solved:D. I use a factory wipe and flash a Cm9 and it worked!! but just a small question, what is the command to mount and unmount SD card in terminal emulator? my SL101 can't read my SD card :confused:

Hi,

One of the things that I don't like about SGS3 int stock roms by Samsung is the fonts, especially the Arabic font so I am wondering if I can change the font to original JB fonts. I have tried apps and replace fonts however, I had the following issues: sometimes the phone didn't start and stuck in start-up or the new font has not been changed in all locations (sms still using Samsung stock fronts...)

I only want to use Google JB fonts in my SGS3 stock rom, I don't want to install any custom rom.
